  1. Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 22: Presence

    6D AGO

    Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 22: Presence

    Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Obedience," "follow your deepest impulse with discipline and decisiveness." We start this episode with a quote: "The universe is putting forth maximal effort to create this moment, why would you want to change that?"  This is a lesson on presence which can be one of the biggest obstacles to overcome for humans. There is a negative connotation to one's ego but Ego is a part of the human experience and feeling present in your NOW moment; this can be a constant battle for many. Thought is the enemy of presence and awakening because we get lost in these thought storms and the stories we tell ourselves about the present and future. If you are not thinking about the past or future, where is it? It is only the NOW that is present and this moment is all we have, remove ourselves from suffering to stay present. When you allow yourself to identify with these thoughts, it can take you away from presence, change your thoughts to align with the NOW moment that you would like to be in. Do not allow our vibrations to dissipate as thought gets in the way, make sure to "and" these thoughts rather than "or." The "or" can take us away from the present moment. Meditation helps hone in on presence. Ask those unanswerable questions to keep you on track at that moment. "What did your face look like before your parents were born?" These questions bypass the critical factor to keep your mind from wandering and staying in that present moment.    #presence #intentionalawakening #obedience #discipline #ego #NOWmoment #thought #align #vibrations #meditation

    NOV 27

    Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 21: A Reading

    Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Honesty," share your authenticity with those around you.  "Pick up After Yourself" is the first card pulled, reminding us that we have the power and opportunity to change what we do not like in our lives, deal with our own issues. Take action, it is our personal responsibility to keep our side of the street clean. Use your humanity.  The second card pulled is "original blessings," remember where we came from and who we are, which is a being of light.  The soul uses the human as a vehicle to evolve itself. We are not our emotions, thoughts, and feelings. We have them. How are we using our human?    #honesty #intentionalawakening #authenticity #action #responsibility #humanity #blessings

    NOV 20

    Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 20: Meditation

    Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Vision" telling us to see the bigger picture and shape the future we desire. We tend to have misconceptions about meditating and feel that we suck at it because we have intrusive thoughts. You do not have to blank out your brain. Meditation is being with your thoughts and then watching them go. Be gentle with yourself as it is a meditation practice.  Think of it similar to baggage claim in an airport, you can watch the baggage go by and choose your luggage to pick up, we don't need to pick it all up. We have moments of overthinking, use the body because we cannot shut off our brain. Place your attention where you would like your focus to go. Think, sense, and feel to become aware of what you are focusing on. Why is it important to meditate? We have the human and the soul, meditation allows you to separate the two and allow your soul to communicate with your human. Meditation is different for everyone, it does not need to be formal. The strictness is in the consistency of meditating daily, not how you meditate. What we are fighting is your perception of it, do not believe that you can't just because it doesn't look like how you were taught to think it should look.   #mediation #intentionalawakening #vision #attention #focus #soul #consistency #perception

  4. Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 19: Purpose

    NOV 14

    Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 19: Purpose

    Episode #19: Purpose: Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Celebration," rejoice, have fun, and enjoy the party. Our purpose is to awaken. Day to day, our purpose is what is right in front of us moment to moment. Many people get entangled in their purpose having to reflect their income, as this gives us meaning. Instead, our purpose is about giving your gift away; we all have a gift and our purpose is to share this with others and energetically influence them. There is a difference between purpose and calling, there may not be one specific path we are meant to be on. Purpose could be about how we live out our values, what we value is a great way to begin to find your purpose. Values help dictate the decisions you make and guide you forward. Release judgement to awaken. Our calling is a collection of values that builds our calling and guides you towards your purpose.    #purpose #intentionalawakening #celebration #awaken #gift #meaning #calling #values

  5. Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 18: This crazy world we live in.

    NOV 6

    Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 18: This crazy world we live in.

    Today's episode touches on the current unrest more and more people are feeling. We are feeling a sense of dis-ease with what is going on in the world and there may be an energetic shift associated. It seems that there is a renaissance of getting closer to your higher power whether it is God,  the universe, or spiritual guides and that is an awakening. Yes, we have advanced technologically but have we advanced spiritually? It can be tough and oftentimes crisis is used to realign us back onto our path. Suffering can lead us to awakening. It starts with the individual and radiates out. Please turn off the TV, this can cause division and more suffering as frustration builds up inside. If you are sensitive you will feel it in your body. The forces at be know how to pray on people with lower vibrational frequencies. If the current events are causing you tension, turn off the news. We know enough of what's going on, we do not need to allow these things to consume us. Everything is unfolding the way it is supposed to and happening for a good reason. There's a delicate dance when being present in this "now" moment and feeling safe. If we are being called through a crisis, we are being pushed forward to think of our contribution. How do we think, behave, and act to become closer to divine in this process?    #unrest #energeticshift #higherpower #spiritualguides #awakening #vibrationalfrequency #crisis

  6. Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 17: Sitting with Adyashanti

    OCT 30

    Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 17: Sitting with Adyashanti

    Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Understanding" reminding us to act with sincerity and empathy. Kathy sat with Adya up in NorCal and wanted to share. We may worry that in awakening we may not be able to be funny and lose our humanness, or our relationships with others may change due to our growth. We do not have to change who we are to prove that we are awake, we are all just humans and can continue to be just a better version of ourselves. This growth and journey can look differently for everyone. Sit in contemplation with your questions, feel the unified state and embody our spiritual instinct. The resources needed are within ourselves. Once we find the answers we are looking for we may realize we are the same human we were yesterday. When we have a profound experience, rather than attempting to explain it, have a personal connection with that experience. "Sit down, shut up and just be," stop waiting for the answers, they are in you. When we seek something, that inherently means we are looking somewhere outside of ourselves, it is here in you. We cannot resonate with something until we have a personal experience with it to then embody these experiences. Not everyone is ready for these answers so there may be work to be done for you to get to this place of embodiment. There is always a way to get to the same result no matter the path taken. "Scary places tend to have the most light, activism must be embodied: Love, Serve, and Remember."    #understanding #intentionalawakening #humanness #contemplation #justbe #resonate #embodiment

  7. Episode 16: To Awaken or Not to Awaken

    OCT 23

    Episode 16: To Awaken or Not to Awaken

    Todays angel card of the day is "Forgiveness" reminding us to "let go of resentments" and "reduce your investment in staying hurt or angry." Live in a way of being at peace with Human Nature. There are people who are truly on the path and we find teachers who share wisdom and then we continue on the path. There are also some who go from self help to self help and connect to teachers to surround themselves with enlightened people doing the work to almost leach from them rather than actually do the work themselves. These people are not looking to take accountability although spirituality is the follow through of action not just learning the information. Aha moments don't lead to an aha life. Some deeply want transformation but can't take the accountability to have integrity. Give yourself permission to stop absorbing your surroundings and remove yourself and not become entangled with the negativity. Come from a compassionate place realizing they are projecting their struggle AND it's okay that we are not the one responsible of that struggle. Spirituality is to do your best to, no matter where you are in your path, come from compassion, kindness, and generosity. It takes awareness. Be patient with others and bring your best self whenever you can. It's okay to have emotions but work on your relationship to that emotion. #intentionalawakening #forgiveness #awaken #enlightened #accountability #compassion #patience

  8. Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 15 Non-Believers

    OCT 16

    Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 15 Non-Believers

    Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "commitment" to stay on your path and be dependable and engaged.  Sometimes we'll speak on things that cause others an adverse reaction, how do we speak to people with different belief systems? Something important to keep in mind is that we are not the same person we used to be  using internal work, not everyone is at the same place you are. Have some sympathy and empathy for where they are coming from and try to understand and accept where they are in their process. Stray from an "us" vs. "them" mentality, in that moment they may not fully get it, but down the line they may come to understand. You do not want non-believers to feel bad or wrong, in time things happen. Use simple language to be inviting and ask if they have any questions along the way to encourage dialog. If someone does not want to get it, do not waste that time and energy to convince them. Remain productive, pick your battles carefully for your own mental, emotional, and spiritual health.    #intentionalawakening #nonbelievers #commitment #beliefsystems #empathy #productive
