Description

TAP is centered around healing methods, psychological insights and the mystery pointed to by the forgotten languages of the soul. My name is Mannah, and my aim here is talk about how to TAP into wholeness. To let the questions breathe in that inner place where Wholeness can be found. I do this by inviting thought leaders, authors, and healers of our time into honest conversation with me, not holding back my own longings and fears. We are in this together!

I started TAP as a way to speak freely of my own experience and my own interest in different books and philosophies (I was in fact recovering from having done many interviews — in my native language, that is. TAP is the only podcast I've released in English). Only a few months in… I realized… I cannot NOT interview… it feels like part of my true nature. This is when TAP evolved into more of a conversational magazine with thought leaders, healers, and authors of our time.

Therapeutic Astrology is not just a blend of healing practices. It is the understanding that trauma therapy and the wisdom of the stars share a common root, cover the same ground, and together can open the hidden landscapes of the psyche. Both are weaker without the other. My guests come from a variety of backgrounds, but somehow their work inspires me and is related to what I work for in this lifetime.

We live in a time of great transition, and I believe we need all wisdom traditions and lived experiences to help our world and our minds heal.

Astrology, in particular, has long been pushed to the margins, often treated as taboo or dismissed as superstition. But to me, astrology is about uncovering the hidden patterns that shape our lives, so we can work with them consciously — just as we do in many trauma and psychotherapies.

Having the word ASTROLOGY in the name of my podcast is a statement of integrity, and of honoring symbolic ways of knowing. Not all episodes are about astrology, but when I am present, it is always, in some way, part of the conversation.

With TAP, I want to honor astrology, therapy, and the many paths of healing as sacred forces we can tap into, to be guided through existence.

Let's TAP in and find a place to call Whole.

This episode is both an interview and a kind of guided meditative reflection, inviting you to sink more deeply into your true nature. I say that because my guest, Georgi Y. Johnson, has a magnetic way of speaking – precise and deeply attuned – and she touches directly into the most sensitive, often unspoken places in our experience. Georgi Y. Johnson is a spiritual psychologists, author of I think 8 books, including (the one I found first) I AM HERE and Nonedual Therapy: The psychology of Awakening TAP in with us as we speak of such huge deep sensitive topics as: How Nondual Therapy first emerged as a therapeutic approach Unity, contraction in the self, and the sense of "otherness" Innocence - do you identify with it? Touching on political themes, even those are welcome here Awakening and suffering as part of a deeper healing process What it means to be unconditionally alive Depersonalization when the light of consciousness is free – and how this can be healing at a deeper level When you are aware of a pattern but still cannot seem to change it The innocent aspect of you is suffering ANGER and how to give space it through the lower half of your body ALSO- Georgi is a wonderul speaker and person to reflect with, so halfway through I try to ask a question but I can't gather my thoughts entirely, but she manages to answer exactly that which I didn't ask. RECOMMENDED listening for sure - in astrology we speak of a virgo stellium with chiron in pisces in opposition to that. Thank you for being with us - hope you recieved a lot from it -Mannah Here is a link for Georgi: https://www.iamhere.life/ Link for Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ youtube video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7yJLDdq8oM  
Let's talk about navigating darkness! Everyone on a spiritual path encounters challenges, and in this chapter of TAP we meet author Oholomo, who talks about rather than transcending or letting go, we can welcome and fully embody them- so that its energy can be liberated and expressed in the present. When we awaken DOWN into life it begins with a Descent. The call to the Below can take many forms and we each have our own personal experience of it. Like Oholomo says in this book, "Awakening the below": "Once we turn toward the call, whether through our choice or not, a chasm will open up and we will be drawn down into its darkness. This process is never a perfectly step-by-step linear one, and everyone's experience is unique. Some people find themselves having dramatic mystical experiences when moving through the Below, while others have more of a gradual unfolding. Some people experience high levels of absorption whereby their entire reality seems to be shaped by the Below to the exclusion of all else. Others are able to maintain a wider, more holistic perspective that allows them to do the work of integration as they go along. Awakening the Above and Below may happen sequentially or simultaneously, or perhaps all mixed together." People, you really don't want to miss this one—especially if you've known darkness in your own life. My hope is that it inspires you to go deeper and experiment with a model that isn't about disidentifying from the darkness, but about fully sinking into it. Oholomo articulates this with such clarity, and his voice has a quality that seems to draw you directly into the Below, I feel inspired to move further myself.  Welcoming any comment you might have as usual. -Mannah Links The book we speak about:  https://spirit.aeonbooks.co.uk/product/awakening-the-below/95385 ATB20 -code valid until ​17/12/25 and will give you 20% off Oholomo: awakeningthebelow.com    oholomo.com   facebook.com/oholomo       Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/  
You've got to hear this one! At least if you're not afraid of talking about meaninglessness — and the antidote to it. My guest today has combined his psychoanalytic lens with a deep reading of an ancient biblical text. I love combining perspectives, especially when the purpose is healing! Meet Paul Marcus, PhD — psychoanalyst, supervisor, and author of numerous books. Today we dive into the themes of his newest work, Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes (Routledge, 2025). As they write in the book description: "Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes will be of interest to psychoanalysts exploring spirituality and the human condition, and to academics and students of psychoanalytic studies, religious studies, Judaic studies, and philosophy." Tap in with us as we explore: – Perspectives on meaninglessness — because life really does feel that way sometimes (but LOVE changes everything!) – Who Koheleth was, and how he moved through despair – The psychology of work: job, career, and calling – The Moon, Pluto, and South Node as symbols of a self-centered or image-focused mother – Ways of healing and why we become therapists! Freud is every present in the conversation - here is a quote from the book to understand why: "Koheleth, like Freud, is characterized by his unshakable intellectual honesty, his courageous use of reason in facing the most agonizing problems of life, his absolute refusal to sureness where he saw ambiguity and uncertainty, and the relentless devotion to truth, regardless of the uncomfortable ramification in one's personal life". I truly loved talking to Paul Marcus, his honesty touched me, and I deeply appreciate that. Let's say it like it is: sometimes it's tough. We meet resistance, not only in our clients but within ourselves, and there are good reasons for that. Change takes time. So I hope you feel inspired by this ancient preacher we talk about — and mind you, we speak of the text in a symbolic, not literal, way...

"Once we start to think of the mind as itself consisting of a kind of "space", which other fields of influence can shape, distort, or form pathways within, there are many obvious parallels with the physics of the cosmos." Quote from our guest today Phil Mollon, who is currently with this new book: "The Physics of the Mind – New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers", 2026, by Karnac Books. Phil Mollon, PhD, is a psychoanalyst, clinical psychologist, and energy psychotherapist. He is well-known as a writer and speaker on topics including shame, trauma, dissociation, self-psychology, and EMDR – and has pioneered the development of psychoanalytic energy psychotherapy.  TAP in as we speak about: How the human mind is a fractal of cosmos Quantum in the dreamworld Therapy and superposition The unified field is a self-organizing living system How information is stored holographically and the structure of the brain follows a holographic pattern and minds are organs for dealing with information! The physics is as usual a little beyond my understanding (Mannah here) so here is a qoute from the book to help: "The mind and brain display quantum qualities. Although the brain influences consciousness, there is also a way in which consciousness selects brain states in both self and other." This is when we speak of the primacy of consciousness What does it imply that we are plasma? The concept of mental radio In closing Phil shares something to reflect on; the parallel of the speed of light and of thoughts (Here is a quote from pga 62 that underlines that: "A computer with a slower processor can do most of the same tasks as a faster processor, just more slowly. Many educational systems fail to recognise neurodiversity and the relativity of different brains and modes of learning (Forchelli et al., 2022). Moreover, there can be advantages in slowing the presentation of information right down, as in meditation. The equation indicates that as the movement of conscious focus slows towards a point, intelligence expands towards infinity!") I hope you were inspired!!  LINKS youtube version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSA77Mwqgf4   Find the book right here: https://www.karnacbooks.com/product/the-physics-of-the-mind-new-perspectives-for-psychotherapists-healers-and-seekers/98264/   Find Phil right here: https://www.philmollon.co.uk/   My web: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/  
"Life is beginning to shift. There is a momentum growing. Our understanding of biology, our expectations about health, our priorities in life are changing. We expect more now. The same old ways, the same old answers from science regarding health, no longer satisfy." (From Dr. Catherine Clinton's upcoming book, OPTIMIZE, pre-order possible) You will be so smart after listening to this interview, where we explore the invisible forces that shape our wellness and the science of unlocking the body's healing power through quantum biology. My guest, Dr. Catherine Clinton, author of "Optimize: A 7-Step Plan to Health and Longevity through Quantum Biology", helps us understand that "we don't end at the barriers of our skin," reminding us that we are intimately linked to each other and the world around us. We talk about: -How viewing the body as an energetic system expands our approach to healing -The powerful role of water, that she calls the backdrop of everything -Electrolytes that help hydrate the body -Not to get caught up in the latest health trend, but to remember the internal conductor of our symphony- our consciousness -How mitochondria are the body's communication hubs, responding to our thoughts, emotions, and environment, and sending out it's own signals -The science of light within and around us—how our cells communicate through light and how ancient cultures honored this relationship -The emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology, linking mind, body, and immunity AND MUCH MORE again- you will be so smart after this one. thank you for being with us LINKS: youtube version of this episode: https://youtu.be/-yX-Io1f79Y   The book:  https://www.amazon.com/Optimize-Groundbreaking-Longevity-Through-Quantum/dp/0760398569 Catherines website:  https://www.drcatherineclinton.com/ Mannahs website: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/  
MUST-HEAR episode where I pull out as much knowledge and insight as possible from historian, author, and tarot-deck creator Travis McHenry. Tap in as we talk about his new book (and a bit more) "An Occult Guide to" the Tarot from Rockpool Publishing. Here are some of the themes we explore: – The difference between occult tarot and other forms – The secrecy around tarot and how it historically ensured that only the initiated received certain information - so what makes an initiate today? – How the real and spiritual origins of tarot cards have been obscured – The Tree of Life – How to ask a good question for the tarot cards – Female empowerment in the cards  – The tarot is not from Egypt—however, there are Egyptian elements  – The signature of Saturn in Virgo – What the Sola Busca Tarot is and why it remains so mysterious – A few stress-questions at the end about demons thank you for being with us!!

Consciousness can be experienced in many diverse ways — such as the normal waking state, REM dreaming, states brought on by psychedelics, states of being under light anaesthetic etc. How is psychosis different from other states? And how is the sense of self experienced during psychosis? Today's guest: Shauna Winram is a PhD candidate in the School of Philosophy, Australian National University, I am so glad that she shares her research and her personal perspectives with us! TAP in to this fascinating conversation about: - How individuals may or may not realise they're in a different reality during psychosis. - How the mental-health system often fails people through lack of therapeutic support, stigma, and disempowerment. - How understanding that psychosis is part of the diversity of human experience can help reduce stigmatising these experiences - Shauna Winram's own lived experience of psychosis - Why we shouldn't romanticise these states — but need to ensure that people are helped and treated properly - Balancing ✨spirit and matter✨ - What are global states of consciousness? ...and more!

Kaedrich Olsen is a seasoned Paranormal Arts Mentor, and in this episode he shares about Sacred Masculinity and how to relate to the modern world through inspiration from Norse mysticism. A small note from me: I trusted my microphone to be on, but it didn't connect to my computer for some reason, so my audio is less fortunate — I hope you can flow with it!! Tap in to hear some juicy parts about how Kaedrich has been studying Norse mythology, mysticism, and the old belief systems since his teenage years. He discovered the runes and even translated the Poetic Edda himself to understand the Old Norse mindset. The Norse people lived with spirituality as an everyday part of life — what we call the supernatural was simply the invisible part of nature. TAP in as we dive into the topic of the sacred masculine and: -The mature warrior is calm, self-contained, and protects out of love for what's behind him — family, home, community. – The sovereign archetype, or sacred king, holds vision, builds alliances, and uplifts others rather than hoarding power. – In Old Norse stories, the best rulers were called "Ring Breakers" and "Haters of Gold" because they gave away wealth to strengthen their people. – Not just warriores, but the craftsman, the magician, the sage  – Take individual responsibility and choose what truly makes sense to you instead of following the collective mindset – The current turmoil in the world is like a collective shadow surfacing, calling us to evolve – Loki, the Norse trickster, stirs things up and creates discomfort, but when the dust settles, everyone is better off!! – I also get his take on the Vikings tv-series- he in stead recommends "The North Man" and "The Last Kingdom" and shares that Ragnar Lothbrok is "sort of like a King Arthur figure," likely an "amalgam."

Do you know that tension between your imagined life and the "real" one? and at this time do you feel the systems breakdown and the potential "heroes" rising? In this episode, astrologer, writer, and podcaster Adam Sommer helps me tap into the Saturn–Neptune conjunction — a 36-year cycle, yet they have not met in Aries since year 1703. I share my most recent story of feeling disillusioned or we could say that an authority "gave up on me", and that could fit the Saturn-Neptune as well. TAP IN with us as we look at how to avoid its shadow expressions such as victimization martyrdom and escapism, which could take us over, when what goes on just seems too void of purpose. Adam reflects on historic turning points that relates to this transit and how this rare alignment invites us to build new structures for collective dreams - and Aries is the sign of THE SPARK OF LIFE. There's the disenchantment, the necessary confrontation and then there's all the possibilities!!  Stay with LOVE, stay with FORGIVENESS, and REMEMBER — appearances aren't always the TRUE FACT. That's how I make peace with being unexpectedly kicked out of therapy school (when I am done being angry) - and everything else that's going on that seems random at times. In astrology of course there are many transits happening, but I like just tuning sometimes to some particular background energy (we mentions others too), like we do in this chapter, and so I hope you enjoy it and get some helpful reflections for your own context and situations in daily life. -Mannah LINKS to Adam: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ direct to his pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/constellating-cosmos-an-astrological-lens/id413880792   My web: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/   Youtube Version of this episode: https://youtu.be/zcQdmIYp150  
WELCOME to this conversation with translator and esoteric researcher Yury Pankratov, who has translated "The Encyclopedia of Occultism" by the early 20th-century Russian occultist and Martinist teacher Grigori Mebes. Yury's own journey went from computer engineering in Russia to the hidden traditions of Western esotericism and the rediscovery of Russian Martinism – a spiritual current rooted in the teachings of Martinez de Pasqually, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, and Papus. TAP in with us as we talk about: – The rise of Russian Martinism and the soul's fall and reintegration – Occultism is a training of thought  – Mebes' model of Archetype, Man, and Nature – The astral plane as a bridge between spirit and matter – The mystery of Egregores – collective fields of consciousness that shape, heal, and influence human life – The creative polarity of manifestation expressed through Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh – How the Tarot serves as a initiatory alphabet  – The three stages of initiation – physical, astral, and archetypal – and the meaning of inner alchemy – What it means to make gold by first having gold – Yury's own practice of astrological theurgy through Orphic hymns and planetary communion – Reflections on Mebes' astrology, the question of free will versus fate – Mebes' later life and the happenings due to the Russian Revolution Thank you so much for being with us!!

"The Book of Thoth inspires students to progress from foundational knowledge of Magick and Mysticism to a deeper engagement with the writings of Aleister Crowley and other luminaries".... "Step onto the sacred path mapped by the Book of Thoth—a gateway to spiritual mastery and cosmic understanding. Whether you're an aspirant seeking the wisdom of the A∴A∴ or a student of esoteric traditions, this profound manual offers the Keys to navigate the Map of the Universe." - (Direct quotation from by Paul Hughes-Barlow) Welcome to an episode that goes behind the new book "THE SECRET OF THE THOTH TAROT The Origins of Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth" by Paul Hughes-Barlow published on Aeon Books.  TAP in as we speak about some background story of Aleister Crowley and also topics like: -Pauls process with writing the book (that was in fact channelled) -Crowley's obsession with Tarot  -Eliphas Levi -The number of Mercury and Christ -The promise to have contact with the Hidden Masters -Freemasonry  -Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, as influencing Crowley's ethic -Crowley stayed Christian -To hide your light under a bushel -What all the secrecy is about!! -The four levels on the Qabalistic Tree of Life -Mercury above and below the Abyss -The book of Lies -Both Carl Jung (1875–1961) and Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) were exact contemporaries, born in the same year. Each developed a radical system engaging with the unconscious, symbols, myth, and spirituality outside orthodox religion -I love how Paul uses Tarot therapeutically — it reflects the very essence of TAP and of a place to find Whole- What might look like two different paths, therapy and Tarot/Astrology, actually converge in one shared practice - or at least parallel practices within one healing field -Initiations and the nigredo (darkness) necessary before renewal -Fatalistic divination - or something more useful -Thoth is the God of magic -Aleister Crowley stands as one of the most disputed figures in modern Western esotericism, and our conversation concludes on that note—yet Paul Hughes-Barlow offers a perspective that reframes the common judgments Hope you enjoyed something about this episode.

"Every single person has a deep storehouse of mysterious Yin, rife with potential richness, meaningful innovation, and the terrifying unknown. When one knows how to walk in a Yin way, they orient themselves to the fabric of reality. This is why one who navigates life in a Yin way is masterful, because they work with the current of the cosmos and they feel the contextual web of possibility." A quote from the book "Yin Mysticism and the vesica Piscis" by my guest today, Brynja Magnussen. Inspiring and beautiful book. Brynja Magnussen is an artist in the visionary and psychedelic genres and an author of archetypal and energetic reference books. In this episode we dive into Yin Mysticism and the mind's hidden currents. TAP IN as we speak about themes such as: -Hypnosis & Yin: "Hypnosis holds a special role in the modalities of Yin because it directly approaches the Yin subconscious from a wakeful YANG state." -A world short on Yin: "The subjugation of and separation from YIN over millennia is bound to begin manifesting in neuropathology."  -ADHD & unchecked YANG paradigm -Separation as mystical-mundane. Why the most profound transformations leave you alone afterward -Seasonal depression and what one could do about it -Astrology !! As we speak about modern life over-privileges analytical, fragmentary, left-hemisphere styles— a Yang tendency—at the expense of contextual, embodied, relational, integrated, holististic form of knowing. Eclipse seasons (literal alignments, shadow and light) are a good time to rebalance toward Yin qualities such as: recovering, attunement, dark unknown.

Welcome to TAP in with Gabrielle Perez, who has a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and almost twenty years of astrological practice. Like myself Gabrielle is a professional in both fields of therapy and astrology - which in short is connected by the ability to help people (and ourselves) connect with the unconscious. (Pluto in Scorpio) In this conversation we get to know each other's work a little bit while also reflecting about the meaning of our current times. We begin by exploring Gabrielle's journey from mental health counseling to astrological practice - other alternative healing modalities. Back then she had a Uranus on the MC experience and is currently getting to know Pluto transits. We talk about trust as we share a Pisces/Scorpio signature, meaning we have experienced trust-shattering events, and many times realized less control and agency than other might be inclined to. Then soon we go into why bridging therapy/psychology and astrological insight can serve deep healing plus how to navigate the Virgo Pisces eclipse with all the background of shifting outer planets. That is my very short resume, but I encourage you to listen in, I feel very honored and glad that Gabrielle Perez takes the time in this one to not only share her work but also interpret for us how best to relate to the energy. AFTER the interview I received this wonderful text from her linking to the point in our conversation, where she forgot something and I actually directed us to something else so it didn't come back TILL NOW-- so here is what she wrote me: "I remembered what I was going to say about the Pluto in Scorpio generation which is that we are the first generation with substantial access to therapy. The USA is founded by traumatized people that continued to inflict that trauma on the Native Americans, African slaves and each other. I believe the Pluto in Scorpio generation is healing and transmuting that. And because we are doing that work, this Pluto out of bounds cycle has the opportunity to actually bring transformation that raises the vibration of the planet." ENJOY and keep reflecting with us and reading the energy to enter deeper into your own alchemical process. You have a place to call Whole. -Mannah LINKS to Gabrielle: https://www.luminousastrology.com/   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-astro-attunement-podcast-grounding-cosmic-wisdom/id1802940770   Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/   Link to youtube version (where I wear glasses due to an allergic eye reaction if you want to know!):    https://youtu.be/O7dk4upjXXc  
Coherence Coach Colin Karewa Forbes is an active Substack writer and in this episode of TAP, we explore the story behind his tagline "Surf the Spiral." Tap in if you're curious about awakening  from the turbulence of ego-based outcome consciousness into the steady current of process-oriented, Integrated Self! We discuss these Sagittarian themes: -An experience of Oneness-  Constant expansion – Leaving religion—only to find more religion? – The search for truth– Growing a little every day – The importance of reading symbols- Do the astrological archetypes represent ultimate limits, or can consciousness evolve beyond them? – The construct …and much more. This is just the beginning—an initial conversation with Colin.

"We are fully alive in their alternative world when we dream them. When we have bad dreams or nightmares, or any dream for that matter, our body/mind system does not differentiate between waking experiences and sleeping experiences." – Linda Schiller, PTSDreams: Transform Your Nightmares from Trauma through Healing Dreamwork (2022) Welcome to this rich and dreamy chapter of TAP, where I speak with Linda Schiller—psychotherapist, author, and expert on the neurobiology of trauma and dreams. Plus she seems much of an eclectic such as myself, as she studied many fields within the healing work, (which we get to enjoy as listeners) We begin with the "sameness" of dreams and trauma. As Linda writes, "The past and the present become entangled and confused, much as in a dream state." It is about reconnecting with our enlivened self, Linda explains as we go through what makes dreamwork such a unique path to healing and how it relates to active imagination- how working with dreams can resolve long-standing trauma. We also talk about dream-memories after overcoming drug abuse, Linda Schillers PARDES system rooted in Kabbalah and the healing process called Memory Reconsolidation. Basically I get as much in there as I can in one hour and I am so happy for the result - hope you enjoy it too. Dream well till next time. - Mannah LINKS Find more about Linda Schillers work here: http://www.lindayaelschiller.com www.moderndreamwork.com www.ptsdreams.com www.ancestral-dreaming Link to the dream organisation Linda mentions in the beginning:  https://www.asdreams.org/   My (Mannah) website: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/   The youtube version of this episode:   https://youtu.be/x2eNWudW3C0  
Thank you for being patient. Feel free to suggest authors for me to interview. I am ready - slowly and anticipating moments of inspiration! - Mannah
Let's TAP into perhaps the last episode ever. I like how we landed on the number 108, which is the number of making the cosmic alignment of the total solar eclipse possible, because the distance from Earth to the Moon is about 108 times the diameter of the Moon. In spiritual traditions the number 108 also hold great significance - anyway, I didn't mean for it to happen now, it just so happens, that I have stretched myself too far, and now that Neptune is on my natal Mercury, I must slow down and give way.  I hate cancelling so I am taking it in small steps. At least for now I have cancelled interviews in the month of may, and let's see what June brings. Maybe I will need to come back on, and maybe a break will turn into a lifestyle.  Regardless - thank you for being here.

Yay – Rebecca Martin Hart is in the house! I mean... the House of Hygeia!!- In this episode, we TAP into the astrological meaning of Hygeia, the goddess of health, and explore her role in the birth charts of significant healers – as well as examples of her extreme opposites. For me, Hygeia in the birth chart represents how you can support others in healing. If you're working in a therapeutic or healing field, Hygeia reveals your unique vibration—your particular way of contributing to others' well-being - including emotional. I'm still relatively new to this understanding, which is why I invited a true Hygeia expert & lover to bring more depth to you. Rebecca Martin Hart is a holistic healer, astrologer, and founder of House of Hygeia. In this episode, she shares insights into Hygeia's mythology and symbolism, discussing how this asteroid reflects an individual's healing journey and potential health imbalances. Hygeia is often associated with health (maintenance & prevention) and the holistic view of body, mind, and spirit— through routines/ rituals, and a balanced live.

"MAKE THE PAST YOUR STEPPING STONE" says my guest today, and I think Saturn in Aries are behind that as well. Join us as we are speaking about karmic constellations with Yael Eini, developer of the Karmic Constellation method The Karmic Constellation method by Yael Eini has spiritual roots, as it draws from Yaels experience in energy healing and family constellation work,. What we talk about today is a method to trace karma, those old patterns we carry without even knowing why. In her book, Karma Healing, Yael shows how past-life traumas and unresolved soul contracts show up in our relationships, our fears, our repeating life themes. She writes on page 30: "The purpose of karma is soul growth. When we meet someone, the interaction we create with them is karma. It motivates us, it teaches us, it allows us to accumulate experiences, and it helps us to develop both as human beings and as souls. And yes, encountering the other can be painful, even very painful. At the same time, this pain is not a punishment; rather, it is an invitation to learn. The person may not learn, but the soul learns." This is SO aligned with Evolutionary Astrology where we see the birth chart as a map of the soul's intentions, some call it a karmic blueprint. We can see the memories of previous incarnations through archetypal patterns. We interpret the chart related to evolutionary journey of the soul, so that placements describe past-life dynamic, especially through the lunar nodes and planetary aspects to them, but really all of the chart are soul memories. That's why I am fascinated with Yaels work, because she has a method of working therapeutically with a past life story. In this interview we explore how the soul has a very different opinion that the human, and how to use representatives to unite karma and rewrite soul contracts. Tap right into the links below.
