  1. Just Ask Spirit with Sherianna Boyle

    Just Ask Spirit with Sherianna Boyle

    Alison is joined once again by Sherianna Boyle, a returning guest and expert in emotional processing. Today, they're diving deep into the significant themes outlined in her new book, "Just Ask Spirit," where they explore the profound connection between our emotions and spiritual development. The conversation touches on the importance of processing emotions not only for our well-being but for enhancing our intuitive capabilities, a core message in Sherianna’s teachings. As we kick off this new year, many listeners might have set resolutions, yet processing emotions may often be overlooked as a crucial commitment. Sherianna emphasizes that recognizing and processing our emotions is not merely an option; it's a necessary practice that serves our higher purpose. In her book, she illustrates how emotions and spirit are intrinsically connected, outlining that when we ignore or suppress our emotions, we inadvertently suppress our spiritual connection as well. This suppression can hinder our ability to fully experience our higher self and purpose in life. Throughout their discussion, they clarify what emotions are and why it's vital that we acknowledge and process them regularly. Sherianna unpacks the biochemical nature of emotions, describing how they influence our physical and non-physical states through mechanisms such as neuropeptides. This awareness provides a deeper understanding of emotions as not just fleeting feelings but as essential components that connect us to our spiritual essence. She emphasizes that embracing all emotions—without labeling them as good or bad—is fundamental to our human experience and emotional health. Moving further, they discuss practical strategies for everyday connection to spirit, emphasizing that this practice can naturally improve our emotional processing. Sherianna offers straightforward techniques such as verbal affirmations, visualizations, and daily spiritual practices that cultivate a vibrant relationship with our higher self. She emphasizes that daily interaction with spirit isn’t just a ritual; it’s fundamental to nurturing our emotional health and overall well-being. As we navigate the obstacles many face in establishing this connection, Sherianna discusses the societal conditioning that often leads to disconnection from spirit and the crucial elements of trust and surrender in the spiritual journey. They explore how fear and control can stifle our spiritual growth, and how a willingness to trust in a higher plan can significantly elevate our emotional and spiritual experiences.
