    Ep. 103 - Healing Beyond Words: Krista Harris on Somatic Healing, Body Memory, and Aerial Resonance Therapy

    There are experiences that shape us long before we have the language to understand them. For Krista Harris, some of those earliest imprints began before birth and continued through relinquishment, foster care, and adoption. In this intimate conversation, Krista shares how her own healing journey led her into yoga, massage, aquatic bodywork, sound therapy, aerial movement, and ultimately the creation of Aerial Resonance Therapy — a deeply adaptive somatic modality designed to help the body feel held, safe, and free to reorganize from within. Together, Carol and Krista explore body memory, preverbal imprinting, nervous system regulation, the limitations of words, and the profound healing that can happen when a person is met through presence, movement, resonance, and reverence. This episode is an invitation to listen differently — not only with the mind, but with the body. ________ 00:05 — From the Womb to Aerial Resonance Therapy 00:48 — Welcome: Healing Beyond Words 03:06 — Early Imprints and Preverbal Memory 05:54 — Birth Regression and Embodied Truth 09:09 — Adoption, Love, and Separation 11:43 — Trauma, Reverence, and Awareness 13:26 — The Path Into Healing Arts 16:43 — Learning to Listen to the Body 17:58 — Massage, Ashiatsu, and Watsu 24:48 — Discovering the Aerial Fabric 26:21 — Inside Aerial Resonance Therapy 32:45 — The Cocoon Without Confinement 35:42 — Bringing the Work Into the World 41:33 — Protecting the Reverence of the Work 42:59 — The Body Keeps the Score 45:03 — Returning to Wholeness 46:40 — Safety, Choice, and Adaptability 50:00 — Connect with Krista 51:00 — Closing Reflection ________ Episode Resourceshttps://kristah.com/ https://www.facebook.com/KristaFly ________ About Krista HarrisKrista Harris is a wellness practitioner, coach, mentor, instructor, and creator of Aerial Resonance Therapy.

    Ep. 102 - From Hollywood to Healing — Hilary Momberger Powers on Turning Pain into Purpose

    From childhood fame to addiction, trauma, and ultimately profound inner healing, Hilary Momberger Powers shares a raw and deeply human journey of transformation. In this heartfelt conversation, Hilary reveals how early fame masked unmet needs for love and safety, how survival patterns shaped her identity, and what finally allowed her to turn toward her pain rather than run from it. Through forgiveness, self-reparenting, community, and service, she discovered that true healing is an inside job — and that we are never defined by where we came from. This episode is an intimate exploration of resilience, reclaiming personal power, and remembering that even after the deepest fractures, joy is still possible. An invitation to remember who you truly are beneath the roles, the wounds, and the stories you’ve carried. ____________ 00:00 — Introduction & Hilary’s Journey Begins 03:31 — The Moment She Realized Fame Couldn’t Give Her What She Needed A young girl in Hollywood… longing not for success, but for love and acceptance. 08:00 — How People-Pleasing Became a Survival Strategy When love feels conditional, we learn to become who others need us to be. 12:00 — Losing Herself in Roles — On Screen and Off The cost of wearing the mask for too long. 13:30 — The Moment She Believed: “I Am Not Enough” How one interpretation can shape a lifetime of identity. 17:58 — When Alcohol Became a Way to Survive “My spirit felt broken…” — the beginning of escape. 19:30 — Running, Fighting, and Living in Survival Mode When pain has nowhere to go, it turns into action. 23:06 — Rock Bottom: The Overdose That Changed Everything A moment that became a doorway. 23:20 — The First Light: When Healing Quietly Begins “It cracked my hard shell…” — the start of awakening. 25:50 — Why True Safety Isn’t Found on the Outside The realization that changes everything. 29:02 — From Victim to Responsibility Reclaiming power by rewriting the story. 31:15 — The Inner Voice That Keeps Us Stuck The “elevator music” of the mind — and how to shift it. 32:49 — Healing Through Connection and Community Why we’re not meant to do this alone. 41:44 — From Seeking Love to Becoming Love Through Service The shift that transforms everything. 46:01 — Forgiveness: The Turning Point That Sets You Free Seeing the past through a new lens. 49:33 — “It’s Never Too Late to Have a Happy Childhood” A message… and a moment of profound realization. 51:04 — Living from the Inside Out What life feels like on the other side of healing. 52:15 — A Simple Practice to Begin Healing Today Reconnecting with the part of you that was never held. 55:32 — Meeting Triggers with Compassion Instead of Fear A new way of responding to old patterns. 1:01:22 — Final Wisdom: You Are Not What You Think You Are Letting go of inherited beliefs and remembering your truth.

    Jonn Serrie on Music, Silence, and The Soul: Composing with Cosmic Consciousness

    In this luminous return to the Hearts Rise Up podcast, sonic mystic and legendary space music composer Jonn Serrie invites us beyond the edges of music and into the sacred space where silence breathes, frequencies speak, and creativity plays like a child running free. What begins as a conversation unfolds as a cosmic remembering—a transmission on the soul of sound, the intelligence of texture, and the spiritual responsibility of the artist in an age of artificial intelligence. In this episode, Jonn weaves stories of childhood dreams, planetary awakenings, and divine synchronicities—revealing how music is not created but received, not engineered but lived. This is more than an interview. It’s an initiation into the invisible forces that move through us when we dare to listen beyond the note, trust the muse's voice, and honor the stillness from which all sound is born.
