    Know your station and come into coherence

    Know your station and come into coherence

    On the eve of the Equinox, I had the pleasure of talking with Ally Leadbetter, creatrix of Wild Betty Healing Arts, on coming into heart coherence, knowing your 'station' - and re-membering your place as part of the wild world wherever you are. We talked about the soul loss many of us have experienced because of our disconnection with the natural world; how coming back to the true Self is the ultimate protection from and antidote to conditioning; the power of some special places on the Earth right here in Montana; our DNA as our antenna; and more.



    Wild Betty Healing Arts is a holistic wellness approach to understanding the mind, body, soul, spirit connection to empower each client to reclaim their wholeness, holiness, and energetic sovereignty. Ally works at the intersection of the earth and energetic realms, specializing in channeling the subtle energies that are in a constant dynamic dance with the physical world. Working thru a variety of modalities such as energy transmission healings, channeled information, ancestral work, earth medicine work (earth attunements, crystal therapy, herbalism, animal guides), spirit guide connection, vibrational sound therapy, trance journey work, shadow work, home and land healing,  and tarot readings, she is able to help you remember your connection  to your most authentic and sovereign self.

    Practice radical self-compassion for the Pisces New Moon

    Practice radical self-compassion for the Pisces New Moon

    The upcoming New Moon in Pisces (March 10, 2024) opens the portal of eclipse season. We are immersed in chaotic motion and yet feeling stuck, a dualism that reflects the two Piscean fish swimming in opposite directions.

    Kristine offers some simple practices to find your way in to your true source, and embrace the opposites of the time.

    Moment of Truth: Cosmic Wisdom with Kristine and Emily

    Moment of Truth: Cosmic Wisdom with Kristine and Emily

    Emily Trinkaus joined the podcast for another of our Cosmic Wisdom conversations. As power planet Pluto hangs out at 0 degrees of Aquarius for weeks, all the personal planets - Mercury, Mars and Venus - pass over it.

    Our conversation focused on what these current astro-energies mean on a personal level and how to use them to become more conscious, including: the importance of fully being ourselves; the power (and shadows) of astrology; allowing our minds to be blown; and trusting ourselves at all levels.

    In true Aquarian fashion, we took questions from our live audience in this episode! And we didn't watch our language, thus the 'mature' rating.

    Occupy Yourself and heal your existential wound

    Occupy Yourself and heal your existential wound

    This episode comes on the heels of the ancient cross-quarter holyday of Imbolc here in the northern hemisphere, and as the archetype of the wounded healer approaches the North Node of the Moon in Aries, the sign of I AM.

    This configuration in Aries offers an opportunity to reclaim your sense of yourself as sacred, and heal the wound of separation from your sense of belonging here, now.

    The practitioner I mentioned who specializes in healing your birth wound is Charlotte Kanyi, of Birth Essence. She was my guest on the podcast in October of 2022.

    Get ready for (more) change in 2024

    Get ready for (more) change in 2024

    In this first episode of 2024, Kristine shared a preview of some of the energetic shifts coming our way, and some practical guidance on how to stay centered and healthy in the midst of the chaos.

    Slow-moving, intense planet Pluto moves from Capricorn to Aquarius on January 20th, changing the very nature of power dynamics, especially in our relationship to technology, information, and society.

    Stay grounded an centered by tapping into your unique frequency and building your subtle awareness.

    Focus on the dream you want: Cosmic Solstice Wisdom with Kristine and Emily

    Focus on the dream you want: Cosmic Solstice Wisdom with Kristine and Emily

    Astrologer Emily Trinkaus joined me today to talk about the unique energies of this Capricorn Solstice on December 21st, and using the power of your mind to create the world and life you want to live in. Some of the alignments we discussed include these:

    This is the last Solstice for nearly 250 years with Pluto in Capricorn, bringing forward the question of how we use our power;

    Mercury is exactly conjunct the Sun at the Solstice, a rare occurrence emphasizing the need and opportunity for 'mental ownership' and sovereignty, as well as the power of our attention;

    Venus has a great deal of influence at the Solstice, and the alignment with Uranus offers a chance to break free from old trauma stories and resentments.

    We also discussed, explained, and shared a rant about the ever-recurring and unnecessary debate over the difference between the tropical (with the seasons) versus sidereal (with the stars) Zodiacs. We shared our views on why they both work, they are both accurate, and each Zodiac has its own form of elegance.
