The Energy Current Podcast Kim Lottes

On today's episode we welcome @thegreenmamma, Danielle Rysavy. Danielle shares her journey of living green and how it started from a young age, watching her own mother.

Danielle made her way to Humboldt State where she was introduced to a new level of learning how to take care of the earth and that the earth will in turn take care of you.


She found her way into the essential oils business through her pregnancy, knowing that she wanted a natural birth and that she would need tools to help. This led her deeper into using plants to heal and support her system and that of her children.


We discuss the traditional medical system and how sometimes it can feel isolating when you're trying to use more natural approaches. Danielle is an example of staying in your power and listening to your own intuition as a mother.


She shares some of the practices that she uses and how her son is learning by watching her. I love Danielle's non-judgmental approach and how, no matter where we are, we can take small steps toward making our lives more clean and green.


Danielle shares her spiritual path, coming from a family with both Jewish and Christian backgrounds, and searching for her place of belonging.


We discuss the spiritually aware children who are incarnating right now to help heal the planet and how having parents who support them and their gifts of connection is so important.


Danielle shares her experience of being a doula and helping postpartum mothers in the first few weeks after birth as well as her wisdom of finding community to support you through motherhood.


We then guide an affirmation meditation for mothers.


Tune in for an expansive episode!

In today's episode, I talk about the energetics that are supporting us in a rebirth right now, stepping into the next level of ourselves if we so choose.

We've just come through the astrological new year, a full moon all about releasing old versions of ourselves, and the equinox shifting us from winter to spring/darkness to light.


I guide us on a life vision journey with journaling prompts. Then invite you to join a 90 day challenge to align your actions and show the universe you are ready for this next version of yourself. I hope you'll join me!


Journaling prompts:


Who would you need to be to make this vision come true?
What would you need to let go of?

What healing would need to take place?
Who or what would you need to forgive (including yourself)?
How would you need to show up in the world?

On the podcast this week, we have our first guest joining us. My friend and colleague, Corey Rothermel, and I discuss all things shamanic.

We start by receiving animal medicine that Corey brings in with him. Corey is a beautiful storyteller and shares his hero's journey including:


initiation: an early experience with the mystery and unknown that shaped his curiosity as well as growing up as a gay kid in rural Pennsylvania and the sense of isolation and not belonging



threshold moment: his dark night of the soul and asking for a sign that was given to him immediately, restoring and strengthening his faith



reclamation: the Burdache Native American concepts for gender and the beautiful term two spirit, which led to his knowing that he does belong and has a sacred place and role in this world


We learn about Corey's experiences with parapsychology, how shamanism has influenced his life and deepened his connection with Creator, and being present with nature as a teacher.

We discuss the direct connection you can have through shamanic journeying and Corey shares his first journey experience which brought healing to his core wounding of not belonging.

Finally, Corey guides us through a process to connect with the wisdom of our highest self.

This episode is full of magical moments, wisdom, and heart expansion. You won't want to miss this transmission.

In this week's podcast, I was guided to share my experience of the 2.22.22 portal: how the day unfolded for me, the messages I received, and I offer a manifestation practice.

This is a powerful time! I start us off with a grounding meditation and talk about: -energetically upgrading and how that can sometimes feel like purging, sickness, or destruction because we are cleansing and clearing in preparation for what comes next

-2.22.22 portal

-Ceremony Circle Podcast episode that I listened to on 2.22.22 and my experience journaling the story of my name and from that receiving my prescription for 2022

-the journey that I went on at 2:22pm on 2.22.22 and how that connects with my prescription as well as the BIG VISION I'm moving toward

-what my BIG VISION is

-manifestation journaling prompts for you to live your way into your BIG VISION

I hope you enjoy! As always, I love hearing your experience if you want to share.

Sending love!

In today's episode of the podcast, I walk you through how to journey to the lower world to meet your animal spirit guide. I call in the directions to create sacred space and then drum while you go on your journey!

Shamanic journeying is at the heart of Shamanism. This is where one enters an altered state of consciousness (moving from beta/waking state to alpha or theta/in between waking and sleeping) through drumming, rattling, or other instruments. In this state, we are able to receive messages, guidance, and healing beyond what we might imagine.

I hope you'll give it a try...and let me know how it goes!

In this week's podcast, I talk about inner child reparenting and offer a process for taking triggering situations, finding the younger version of us that was activated, and parenting that part of ourselves.
I discuss subconscious programming, limiting beliefs and how they get stored in the subconscious, how triggering situations are an invitation to check in with and bring healing to younger versions of ourselves, and guide you through an inner child reparenting process.


I also talk about my one year old nephew and how he's helping me to bring more healing to my inner child. I hope that recognizing the bright light in him helps you to see and remember the bright light in you. It may have been covered up and layered over through years of limiting (and untrue) beliefs, but that light is still within each of us.


Give the episode a listen, tend to your inner child, and then bring back more of your sparkle.
