Aim From the Heart: The Art of Intentional Manifestation Diane Bell

This week we dive into the transformative world of breathwork with my incredible guest, Susie Smith.

An expert in conscious connected breath work, Susie shares her own personal healing journey and how this led her to her current role sharing workshops and one-on-one sessions.

I’ve been a participant in a session with her and its effects were nothing short of magic.

We also talk about the underestimated potency of intuition and the serendipity of trusting life’s flow, which is how Susie and I first connected.

From discussing the natural DMT in our lungs and the marvel of turning pain into wisdom, to understanding the unique energies of group and individual sessions, Susie unpacks the extensive benefits of incorporating daily breath work into our routines. She emphasizes the importance of finding what resonates with each person and shares her own weekly practice that has been instrumental in her journey.

Join us as Susie and I reflect on the profound impact of deep breath work – from personal healing to eliciting astounding spiritual experiences, and discover why she believes the breath is the most essential nutrient we have.

Today’s episode with Susie Smith is an open invitation to breathe deeply and live from the heart. Pull up a chair, hit play and let’s take a conscious inhalation together 🙏💙

Welcome to another episode of the Aim From the Heart Podcast where we dive deep into the stories and strategies that empower you to align your actions with your soul's true intentions.

I'm your host, Diane Bell, and today I'm thrilled to be sharing a conversation with the inspiring Isha Vela.

Isha is a trauma psychologist turned wealth activist and somatic biz coach, who has been transforming her personal financial narrative and helping others do the same. She joins us to delve into the profound understanding of money as energy, and how her encounters with polyamory in 2021 unraveled her feelings of scarcity and jealousy, revealing deeper areas of unfulfillment in her life.

Today, we'll explore how money, much like love, craves freedom. We'll hear about Isha's experiments with giving money away and how this approach has helped her to not only circulate wealth but also to support collective healing and impactful community projects. 

Bringing her wealth of knowledge from her heritage and professional experience, Isha shares insights on emotional and historical complexities surrounding money, collective trauma, and the need for a shift in the paradigm of wealth. As we venture into some of the practical aspects of financial planning, Isha will make a case for financial literacy as an essential empowerment tool.

So, if you've ever felt a disconnect between your finances and your soul's journey, or you're looking for ways to reprogram your relationship with money and embrace a heart-centered approach to prosperity, this episode is for you.

This episode is a treasure chest of insights from my personal voyage through 2023. We'll dive into how a ticket to a live event in sunny California and a surge of intuition to “follow soul” brought seismic shifts in my life. We're talking transforming fear into presence, recognizing the potency of community, and the courage in embracing life's changing seasons.

I'll share my struggles with the pressures of achieving dreams and practical strategies to soften that journey, laying bare the highs and lows of my move to Spain and the quest for my dream house. Learning from the pitfalls of trying to recreate past successes, I'll underscore the profound lesson that you cannot step into the same river twice, and how dropping into my heart and trusting my soul's nudges led to unforeseen magic.

But that's not all; I'm inviting you to our year-end gathering and offering a teaser of our 'Your Best Year Yet' master class. Plus, I’d love for you to be part of the conversation – share your lessons, your challenges, and help us foster this community of growth and connection.
