    Laughter Is Medicine: Joy as a Nervous System Reset

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What if laughter isn’t a break from healing… but part of the healing itself? In this uplifting and surprisingly practical conversation, Dr. Sandra Marie welcomes intuitive reader and teacher Melissa Abell to explore how humor, play, and spiritual lightness help regulate the body, restore perspective, and reconnect us with a sense of safety. While so much growth work focuses on effort, processing, and fixing what’s wrong, Melissa opens another doorway, one available in ordinary moments, shared smiles, absurd mishaps, and even deliberate practice. Together they bridge neuroscience, trauma recovery, intuitive guidance, and lived experience to ask: 👉 What if joy is not a reward at the end of the journey?  👉 What if it’s fuel for the path itself? You’ll hear stories of “pre-emptive joy,” the biology of laughter, how connection changes our state, and why many therapists believe trauma healing is impossible without moments of play. The episode closes with a gentle, guided 90-second nervous system reset you can return to anytime. ✨ In this conversation: Why laughter immediately shifts us into the present momentWhat happens in the body during humor and connectionThe role of shared laughter in co-regulationHow children naturally access vitality through playBuilding a personal “laughter library”Why joy can prepare us for difficult experiencesThe difference between supportive lightness and avoidanceHow humor shows up in caregiving, emergency settings, and hospiceLaughter as a fast track to alignmentSimple ways to weave more ease into daily lifeEnjoy this The Art of Nervous System Care Summit replay.

    Erotic Mysticism: How Pleasure Expands Consciousness & Sovereignty

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What if pleasure isn’t a distraction from your spiritual path, but a doorway into deeper consciousness?  In this episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie is joined by erotic mystic and author Sharon Marie Scott for a grounded, thoughtful conversation on embodiment, pleasure literacy, and the intelligence of the body. Together, they explore how aliveness, sensation, and desire can become tools for spiritual growth, integration, sovereignty, and self-trust without bypassing, discernment, or nervous system regulation. This episode invites listeners to reconsider pleasure not as indulgence, but as a form of spiritual intelligence and embodied wisdom. Key Topics Covered Pleasure as a pathway to spiritual mastery and consciousnessThe difference between pleasure and the “relief of suffering”Shadow work vs. pleasure alchemyPleasure literacy and listening to the body as an oracleNervous system regulation and capacity for sensationSovereignty, power, and embodiment in spiritual and erotic spacesIntegration after peak experiencesDesire, myth-making, and the cultural narrative around pleasureReceiving, abundance, and the capacity for joyAbout This Episode In this conversation, Sharon Marie Scott shares her perspective on what she calls the Pleasure Renaissance a cultural shift toward restoring pleasure, embodiment, and Eros as valid and essential dimensions of spiritual life. Rather than framing desire as something to transcend or control, Sharon invites listeners to explore how sensation, aliveness, and the erotic body can become portals to intuition, integration, and personal sovereignty. Dr. Sandra Marie brings the conversation into grounded territory, exploring nervous system regulation, discernment, integration, and the ethics of working with embodied and initiatory practices. This episode is for anyone who is spiritually curious, embodied, or exploring the intersection of intuition, healing, and consciousness, especially those sensing that the body itself holds wisdom we’ve been taught to ignore.

    The Myth of Perfection Is Killing Your Peace, Choose Truth Instead

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! In a world that rewards hustle and highlight reels, what does it mean to live your spirituality rather than perform it? Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with Justin Egliskis, host of Energy Alignment for Entrepreneurs, to explore stress as a sign of expansion, the loneliness beneath online “belonging,” and why authenticity, not perfection, is the anchor when life speeds up. Expect practical tools, honest stories, and a reminder that alignment is a relationship, not a destination. Key TopicsPerformative spirituality vs. lived practice — moving from image to embodimentStress & sensitivity as growth signals — reading friction without self-shameFalse belonging online — why the scroll can mimic community and deepen isolationMetrics & meaning — engaging analytics without losing your whyPractical alignment — mornings, movement, food, fresh air, and phone boundariesJudgment & compassion — easing self-criticism to free compassion for othersSeasons of life — working with contraction/expansion without forcing pacePractical TakeawaysTry the 1-hour phone-free morning and notice your baseline calm/clarity.When triggered, name the stimulus, breathe, reposition (walk, pause, reset tone).Treat stress like a teacher: What skill/process/limit is it pointing to?For creators: Check analytics last, intention first.
