Chat Off The Mat Rose Wippich

Evolving as a yoga student and teacher involves curiosity, somatic exploration and the desire for continuous learning, self-discovery and growth both on and off the mat.
  When I first stepped onto the mat under Terry Cockburn's guidance, I couldn't have predicted the transformation that awaited me and how profoundly her knowledge and teaching would influence my own personal practice and teaching style. 
  Together we unravel the journey of yoga beyond just postures, sharing insights into its impact on personal growth.
Terry and I  discuss: 
the difference between functional alignment (adapting poses to suit each individual body) vs. aesthetic alignment (visually perfect pose),the essence of a nurturing yoga practice,  creating an embodied practice - developing a deep awareness and a connection to the body,  the hurdles we’ve had to overcome as teachers, especially during the pandemic, and importance of keeping an open line of communication with students and guiding them toward health and progression in their yoga practice.  a shared love of Qigong and how incorporating it into your practice supports a healthy cultivation of energy. Through our shared experiences, we aim to inspire and support you in creating a daily practice, enriched by education and community.

Terry's journey from learning yoga to becoming a teacher, trainer, studio owner and a creative energy behind the River Bird Sangha and school, reminds us of the power yoga has that shapes, not only our bodies, but our life’s direction. For thirty years, she has worked in the fitness and yoga industry as a trainer to individuals, teams and yoga schools and owned a vibrant community-based yoga studio, before pivoting to teaching online full-time with her  and partner Josh Summers.

This episode offers a compassionate guide on establishing boundaries, managing the intricate dance of relationships with narcissists, and the vital importance of a safe exit strategy. It's a candid look at the complex process of healing, emphasizing the undeniable power of self-awareness and the courage to reclaim one's narrative.

I chat with Alex Scot - a Trauma-informed and relationship healing coach about narcissistic abuse.  Our discussion peels back the layers of grandiosity and manipulation that define the spectrum of narcissism. Alex lends her expertise to demystify the cycle of love bombing, devaluation, discarding, and hoovering, providing listeners with the clarity needed to recognize and navigate these behaviors in their relationships.

Combining personal anecdotes with professional insights, Alex presents an inspiring blend of practical advice and emotional support, empowering you to break free from past patterns and foster genuine connections in your personal and romantic life.

Embark with us on a captivating voyage of spiritual evolution, guided by the New Age Hipster herself, Vix Maxwell. We traverse from her childhood divine dialogues to her enchantment with witchcraft, a detour through Christianity and her arrival at a place of modern mysticism. Her story is a testament to the organic, winding path of self-discovery, offering listeners the chance to unearth their own sacred connection to the universe.
  We discuss manifesting in a world of anxiety and self-doubt. Vicks imparts her wisdom on the significance of practical tools such as journaling and the quest for knowledge.   We also unravel the contemporary threads of witchcraft, discussing how personal interpretations of this term shape one's magical practice, and how creating sacred spaces can reflect and enhance our spiritual quests.
  Vix outlines daily rituals that act as shields against energy-draining forces, while also illuminating the path to calling upon our spirit guides – a beacon for those navigating life's challenges. We're reminded of the power that lies in tuning into our inner compass, embracing the unique guidance it offers, and the strength found in spiritual empowerment through our ever-evolving relationship with the divine. Join us  on this transformative odyssey of enlightenment and self-empowerment.

Embarking on a transformative journey, Fay Johnstone shed her corporate identity and found a world where energy, intuition, and nature intertwine. This episode unfurls her fascinating story, from the first brush with Reiki  to the rhythmic heartbeat of shamanic drumming.  I also weave in my own experiences, revealing how our paths crossed through spiritual synchronicity.

Through anecdotes and practical guidance, we illuminate the path to engaging with plants as living, breathing partners in healing, offering insights tailored for both seasoned Reiki practitioners and newcomers alike. This episode serves as an invitation to open the senses to the lush tapestry of plant spirit Reiki and the grounding call of the shamanic drum, fostering a partnership with the natural world that transcends the ordinary.

Fay Johnstone combines over twenty years of reiki practice with elemental qigong, plant medicine, and creative shamanism to bring the healing power of nature to assist us with our personal transformation. As well as studying Herbal Medicine, she ran an organicflower and herb farm in Nova Scotia for some years before returning to the UK and settling in Scotland. The path of the drum and reiki has led Fay to connect even more deeply with nature and plants. The author of three books: Plant Spirit Reiki, Plants That Speak, Souls that Sing, and her latest book Shamanic Reiki Drumming. Fay offers training and retreats from her garden in Fife, Scotland and has an online community with monthly offerings.

Rose share a personal story about  heartache, and loss and how discovering Reiki gave her more clarity and courage to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.   If you have ever experienced a broken heart you will want to listen to this inspiring story.
As Rose continued to heal she never looked back on what could have been.  For her, it was about discovering herself through the heartache.  She realized that old feelings of unworthiness and abandonment were woven through ways of relating.  And finding that light in the midst of darkness was achievable.  One day, she met someone that would introduce her to Reiki and it gave her the one thing she needed to help her truly move forward.  Listen to the episode to discover what that was.  

Join your host, Rose Wippich, as she opens up her heart and soul in order for you to get to know her better and her intention behind the podcast .

In this interview with William Rand, we talk about how Reiki can heal past life wounds and trauma in this lifetime.  Reiki is life force energy and it can heal on all levels.   According to William, it is 'imbued with Spiritual Wisdom' and that we all have the gift of intuition or inner guidance and we can cultivate a greater relationship with it and use it, along with Reiki, to guide us.  
 Learn more about William's personal journey with Reiki and the birth of the World Peace Grid and his trip to place one at the North Pole! 
 You don't have to be a Reiki practitioner to listen to this chat.  William's anecdotes, and love and respect for Reiki may inspire you to learn more about Reiki healing and becoming a practitioner.
