Are You Spiritual Podcast

HI! Thank you for listening to this episode of Are You Spiritual? My intention with this episode is to begin a dialogue around the ever emerging concept currently in the spiritual world, of the "Rise of the Divine Feminine." While I plan a separate episode going deeper into that, it feels urgent to remember the divine alchemy necessary for each of us to find deeper peace and alignment; that is the union of our opposites, the integration of our light and shadow, finding ebb and flow of our own divine "masculine" and divine "feminine." This is a pretty esoteric solo episode and view into the noodle soup of my mind, and it's all very far from perfect or complete but I do hope it provides some deeper understanding and brings balance to what has felt like a lopsided conversation. I hope you enjoy this episode and I would love to hear your thoughts on this ever-evolving topic.Thank you so much for listening!x, jasmineIf you have any questions, thoughts, or episode topic ideas, please email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠areyouspiritualpodcast@gmail.com. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please follow AYS on instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/areyouspiritualpodcast/

Hello and thank you so much for listening to Are You Spiritual? Podcast! In this episode, Spirituality and Social Media collide as Shannon Calder (LMFT, PhD and host of Terror Talk) discuss both Guru Jagat and the creators of Twin Flames Universe. Guru Jagat became the dynamic face of Kundalini Yoga in the West, creating the popular RA MA Center in Venice and had a star studded following. I attempt to explain the complicated history and lexicon around Kundalini while Shannon and I explore the many twists and turns that made Kundalini Katie into Guru Jagat.Shannon and I revisit Twin Flames Universe and discuss a new documentary about the founders. Luckily, we also have the founders' new podcast to dive into; and while we have a lot of fun and a few laughs, it is very clear that in this new era, these kind of cultish leaders are becoming more savvy and manipulative. One of the intentions of this podcast is to warn the audience about spiritual narcissists, cults and cult like behaviors; I hope the listener will see the parallels between these to subjects - while their doctrines are different, the ever shifting landscape of attaining the perceived goal (of peace, enlightenment, partnership, healing) is a commonality. I always have fun with Shannon and I hope you do too!Thank you for listening! xo, jasminePlease find and follow Shannon on Terror Talk:Female Narcissist in Cult Control - The Breath of Fire Documentary on HBOhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/terror-talk-true-crime-through-a-psychological-lens/id1435529687?i=1000701874576Spiritual Narcissism - Twin Flames on Firehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/terror-talk-true-crime-through-a-psychological-lens/id1435529687?i=1000641151971Please like & subscribe for new episodes. If you have any questions, thoughts, or episode topic ideas, please email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠areyouspiritualpodcast@gmail.com. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please follow AYS on instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/areyouspiritualpodcast/⁠

Hello! Thank you for listening to this solo episode of Are You Spiritual? In this episode, I share the experience of traveling to Paris to revisit Claude Monet's Water Lillies at the Musee L'Orangerie, and my impressions of the Queen's Hamlet at Versailles. Inspired by my former guest, Shamanic Priestess, Afefe Tyehimba, I turned to art as a way to understand the shifting landscape of my own life and -dare I say it?- spiritual journey.

Hello!!! Thank you for listening to this episode of Are You Spiritual? I've missed you! Every episode holds a special place in my heart - and this one truly feels like a "full circle" moment for me and the podcast. When Are You Spiritual? was still just a concept, I consulted Astrologer Andy Bellatti, on the most auspicious days/times to launch. Spoiler alert: I followed all of his recommendations and have zero regrets. I had my first reading with Andy in 2020 - that reading lead to a deeper understanding of myself and how I operate in the world; this awareness had an incredibly positive impact on my life - and I have recommended him to just about everyone I know. He provides so much good information in this episode, whether you've had a chart reading or understand Astrology, Andy shares deep insight into how to relate to your astrology, special placements that you may want to look into deeper and even how to find an astrologer that "matches your vibe." I really love our chat and I hope you do too- and yes, I kept the cat bits in on purpose! x, jasmine Please follow Andy on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrologywithandy/ Sign up for his blog posts, and treat yourself to a reading with Andy (Did I mention he has a Black Friday Sale!) https://astrologywithandy.com Andy recommends, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself, by Michael A.

Hi! Thank you for listening to this episode of Are You Spiritual? It has been a minute since I've posted and episode; I took a break from recording for the past few months but I am so happy to introduce my Tarot Teacher, Johnie Porter! Johnie has been studying Tarot for over 20 years, has taught over 400 students (including me!) and is the creator of the YouTube channel, Tarot's Apprentice. Johnie is a wonderful teacher, he's incredibly insightful and knowledgable, very patient and pretty funny so classes with him are a delight. In this episode, we merely scratch the surface of Tarot, but we dive into some of the history and more modern influences on Tarot. You know me, I love a Jungian moment so Johnie indulges me in comparing Jungian archetypes and the Major Arcana. Whether you have been pulling cards for years or are curious, this episode has a little something for everyone. This is the first but not the last Tarot episode and I hope you love it! xo, jasmine Johnie's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@TarotsApprentice Please like & subscribe for new episodes.  If you have any questions, thoughts, or episode topic ideas, please email:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠areyouspiritualpodcast@gmail.com. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Please follow AYS on instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/areyouspiritualpodcast/⁠

Hello! Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Are You Spiritual? If this is your first episode, HI! For my returning listeners, Hello again! In this stripped down episode, I wanted to talk about Mental Health - May is Mental Health Awareness Month - and give some tangible resources because sometimes even spiritual people need mental health help. And that's okay. Also, on this Mother's Day, like all of them in the past, I really want to hold space for all the complicated emotions and expectations that come up around days like these. I encourage all of us to take a moment to offer ourselves some good "mothering," and use this as a time to celebrate Mother Earth in our own way. I guide a brief grounding meditation at the end. If you do struggle with mental health issues, please know you are not alone. There is help available and most importantly, that things can - and often do - get better.

Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode with Afefe Tyehimba; award winning journalist who followed her unique path to becoming a Shamanic Priestess. I found Afefe's Tarot readings on YouTube, and loved her insightful interpretations of the cards. When she "came out" as a Shamanic Priestess (and a fellow adoptee, like me) I knew I had to reach out to her to share some of her spiritual journey. This interview does not disappoint.

Everyone is talking about Twin Flames and so are we! In this extra long episode, my friend Shannon Calder (LMFT, PhD and host of Terror Talk) and I go deep on the concept of Twin Flames and talk a little bit about the documentaries on Amazon and Netflix. I am so lucky to have Shannon to explain some of the complex terminology like "mirroring" and "limerence" which will give the listener a way better understanding of what to be aware of - so you don't get sucked into an online cult! We also discuss other types of spiritual relationships, like kindred spirits and soul family, while exploring the different possible meanings and spiritual purposes of the many connections we encounter in life. Friends, I dove deep to really try to go to the root of the concept of Twin Flames which took me from Ancient Greece to the Henry Fonda Theatre's 1999 production of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Truly this episode is a journey like no other. I truly hope you enjoy this episode and that it is of benefit to you on your spiritual journey. So much love and thanks to Shannon for being my Soul Sister and guest on this episode.

Thank you so much for listening to Are You Spiritual? In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with my Reiki sister, Kama Hagar. Kama's voice is like a warm island breeze! I loved learning more about her spiritual practice, the ancient Hawaiian tradition of Mū; and how that relates to the journey of finding a home within, wherever you are. Please stay tuned because at the end of the episode, Kama shares the meaning of the beautiful Ho'oponopono Prayer and guides us through a powerful brief meditation at the end. IT'S SO GOOD!

Thank you so much for listening to this super exciting episode of Are You Spiritual! I had the amazing good luck to connect with Crystal Bennett Harris and we discuss her amazing journey from corporate America to becoming the "Queen of Potions." She's a true Oracle in so many ways and our conversation ranges from how to feel abundant, the benefits of spiritual gatekeeping, the reality of starting a spiritual business and the beauty of intention made manifest in liquid.

Thank you for tuning in to this fun episode of Are You Spiritual! This episode is the Part 2 or Companion Piece in my exploration of the life and work of Shakti Gawain. My interview with Kim Corbin, Social Media Manager/Senior Publicist of New World Library, my surprise you as Kim shares her journey before coming to New World Library as a "skipping enthusiast." Meeting Shakti later in life, Kim became a Mentee and friend; Kim's insights give us a lovely peek into Shakti's work and wisdom. We can't possibly imagine where our spiritual journey will lead us when we take the first steps (or skips). My intention with this "Spirography"* has always been to share Shakti's life and work as a source of inspiration. I am so proud of this episode because I feel Shakti and Kim's stories beautifully illustrate the value of following your light. During this episode, I also share some of the techniques in Creative Visualization including the Pink Bubble Technique!

Thank you so much for tuning in to this VERY special episode. This episode has been a long time in the making and I am so proud and honored to share it with you. In the 1970's, Shakti Gawain and Marc Allen founded New World Library as a way to synthesize and share all of the information they were learning and absorbing as "workshop junkies." Founded in the Bay Area, literally the womb of the New Age Movement - New World Library is now a thriving force in book publishing. Guilted into completing what would become a classic, Shakti wrote, "Creative Visualization; Use the Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want in Your Life." Published in 1978, the book quickly became an "underground" hit and then exploded when Oprah interviewed Shakti in the 1980's. Shakti became an accomplished author of many books, an inspirational speaker and teacher who was constantly curious and open to exploring new techniques and ideas. Though Shakti passed in 2018, her teachings and voice are still vibrant and relevant - my intention in this episode is to share her incredible light and legacy. I feel beyond blessed to have met Marc Allen and chat with him about his own Spiritual experiences, the birth of New World Library and his long friendship with Shakti. He gives real insight into the special moment in time that birthed seekers like he and Shakti and has some incredible stories to tell. An accomplished author, composer, musician and publisher, Marc is simply and truly a sheer delight. All of this was made possible by New World Library's Social Media Manager, Kim Corbin, and I will be sharing my interview with her next week! x, jasmine Please like & subscribe for new episodes.  If you have any questions, thoughts, or episode topic ideas, please email:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠areyouspiritualpodcast@gmail.com. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Please follow AYS on instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/areyouspiritualpodcast/⁠⁠⁠ Shakti Gawain This is a beautiful website dedicated to Shakti's life and legacy https://shakti-gawain.com/ Creative Visualization: https://www.newworldlibrary.com/Creativity/CREATIVE-VISUALIZATION-40TH-ANNIVERSARY-EDITION Marc Allen https://marcallen.com/ https://www.newworldlibrary.com/Spirituality/THE-MAGICAL-PATH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nw5kEK4NgA New World Library https://www.newworldlibrary.com/About-Us

Thank you for listening to this week's episode of Are You Spiritual! My audio is really challenging on this episode, of course, so please bear with as I promise it does get better during the epiosed. In this week's episode, we're talking about different types of spiritual retreats and gratitude. I share my experience of traveling to Florida to meet Mystic Michaela and my friend, Susan Chek, gives insights after attending her first spiritual retreat. If you've ever been on the fence about taking a spiritual retreat, this may convince you to give it a try! Thanksgiving and the Holiday season, can be a tricky time of year for many of us. We may feel loss or overwhelm, etc; even excitement can have us spinning, so I've included a very brief gratitude meditation at the end to help you stay present and hopefully enjoy the moment. I am so grateful for you, Dear Listener, and I am continually inspired to create because of you!

Thank you for listening to this very special episode of Are You Spiritual! In this episode, I am joined by my dear friend; PhD, LMFT and Co-Host of Terror Talk, Shannon Calder. This is a huge "get" because Shannon is amazing! As we discuss this story of Geshe Michael Roach, Lama Christy and Ian Thorson, Shannon insightfully illuminates potential causes and motives, while I attempt to break down the complex and often arcane Spiritual background. The idea for a "Spiritual Scandal" series was born out of my love of true crime and passion for all things spiritual. I think it's important to tell all kinds of stories; this one depicts the outcome of unbridled spiritual narcissism, the illusion of trauma bonding and how bending the rules to suit one's own desires can lead to tragic consequences. I truly hope you enjoy this episode and I'd love to hear your thoughts! x, jasmine Shannon is a GEM, find her and Terror Talk: https://www.instagram.com/terrortalkpodcast/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/terror-talk-psychology-true-crime-horror/id1435529687 https://open.spotify.com/show/07JEm5Qm7cohukkEUOYt7P?si=61043a413d6543a9 Please like & subscribe for new episodes.  If you have any questions, thoughts, or episode topic ideas, please email:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠areyouspiritualpodcast@gmail.com. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Please follow AYS on instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/areyouspiritualpodcast/⁠
