Mystical Sisterhood

Sound healing for the nervous system is the practice of using intentional frequencies, from crystal singing bowls to gongs, chimes, and tuning forks, to help your body move out of fight, flight, or freeze and into regulation. If you walk into every day already on guard, holding in what you never said, and wondering why rest never feels restful, sister, your nervous system may be asking for a different kind of support. Sound reaches you in a way talking cannot, because you do not just hear it, you feel it moving around you and through you.Maureen Spielman, Spiritual Life Coach and founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, sits down with Peter Canellis, a classically trained pianist, former finance trader, and DJ who founded Saints & Angels Healing Through Sound, an immersive sound healing studio in Chicago. Peter shares how his mother's piano playing shaped his life, why he left the trading floor for the DJ booth, and how a diagnosis in 2019, a stem cell transplant, and one small Tibetan bowl led him to sound healing. You will hear why he believes intention heals more than numbers, why the throat chakra holds what we never say, and how a studio designed down to the cushions helps your guard drop. Feel it to heal it, and remember that you are never broken, just slightly out of tune.What you'll learn in this episode:How sound healing for the nervous system works, and why Peter Canellis says intention and layered frequencies, not numbers alone, create the space where you heal yourself.Why music can shift your emotional state faster than almost anything else, and how you can use happy, sad, or deep bass music to move through what you are feeling.How Peter Canellis turned a 2019 diagnosis, a stem cell transplant, and his first Tibetan singing bowl into the beginning of his sound healing practice.What the solar plexus and throat chakras reveal about personal power, speaking your truth, and the ruminating thoughts that build when you hold things in.How Saints & Angels designs an immersive sound bath around sound healing for the nervous system, from lighting and cushions to setting an intention on a bay leaf.Why Peter believes sound healing belongs in your regular self-care routine, and how a monthly sound bath can work as a reset for your energetic field.We talk about:00:00 Classical music, DJing, and sound healing combined01:37 How Maureen met Peter and Saints & Angels03:07 Growing up with a concert pianist mother06:23 From the trading floor to full-time DJ09:32 Why intention, not numbers, heals12:31 How fast can music shift your emotional state?16:15 A message that his calling would come in his 50s18:41 A 2019 diagnosis and his first Tibetan singing bowl21:37 Why the throat chakra holds what we never say28:04 How sound healing calms the nervous system34:56 Can a sound bath become part of your self-care?41:50 Feel it to heal it: you are never brokenResources mentioned in this episode:Saints & Angels Healing Through Sound: https://saints-angels.comOne-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebiesVolt Productions/Simona CostantiniAbout the Host:Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

In this solo episode, Maureen takes note of the moments of the journey, including the day you begin something new and wherever you are standing today. If you have ever doubted your voice, replayed what you said, or waited to feel ready before you create, you are not alone, sister. That in-between space is where your intuition gets stronger.Maureen Spielman is a Spiritual Life Coach trained in Spiritual Psychology who launched Mystical Sisterhood® in January 2023 after taking a podcast class with Cathy Heller. She shares what nearly four years of weekly episodes taught her about finding your voice when you never liked the sound of it, following the joy that makes you feel alive, honoring your seasons of rest, and replacing self-judgment with compassion and unconditional love of self. You will hear why she values trust and allowance over download numbers, why community is the future, and how calling in support changes everything. Trust yourself, trust your process, and trust what wants to come through you.What you’ll learn in this episode:How to trust yourself, your process, and what wants to be said, the core lesson Maureen Spielman takes from 200 episodes of Mystical Sisterhood® and from starting before she felt ready.Finding your voice when you never liked the sound of it, and why Maureen believes every voice carries resonance, vibration, and a message only you can share.Why following your joy is a signpost, and how noticing what makes you feel alive, in your work, your circles, or a hobby, shows you how to trust yourself and where you are being led.How to replace self-judgment and the inner critic with self-compassion, since so many critical voices are internalized from sources that were never truly you.Honoring the seasons of rest without guilt, and why calling in support and community, instead of competition, helps you create what you are meant to create.We talk about:00:00 Celebrating 200 episodes of Mystical Sisterhood02:15 Taking a podcast class and launching in 202305:12 Becoming a seeker and finding healing teachings08:03 Facing fear and putting yourself out there09:23 How do you find your voice if you never liked it11:48 Following the joy that makes you feel alive13:42 Why trust matters more than download numbers16:26 How to trust yourself, your process, and your intuition18:49 Honoring the seasons of rest and rejuvenation19:34 Replacing self-judgment with self-compassion22:24 Why community and support are the futureResources mentioned in this episode:One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebiesVolt Productions/Simona CostantiniAbout the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

Midlife is more than a physical change; its full of spiritual passages as well. It is a sacred portal, the autumn of your life, when you are invited to let the leaves fall and keep only what matters. If you have spent decades pouring yourself out for your children, your family, and your work, you may feel a pull to slow down and not know why. Maybe you keep seeing 11:11, a butterfly lands at your feet, or a gentle voice suggests something new and you talk yourself out of it. Those are not coincidences, sister. They are invitations.In episode 199 of Mystical Sisterhood®, host Maureen Spielman welcomes back Heather Hanson, an intuitive, wisdom keeper, and founder of Creative Sage Cottage and The Wheel at Quiet Creek in Michigan. Heather shares how Dancing the Medicine Wheel in Sedona led her to spend two years building her own four-ring stone wheel, woven with the elements, the Major Arcana of the Rider-Waite Tarot, and the Hebrew alphabet. You will learn her Stacking the Sacred practice, how to live by the Wheel of the Year, why the new moon is for intentions and the full moon is for release, and how to tell a season of learning from a season of teaching. It is all sacred. All you have to do is say yes and pay attention.What you’ll learn in this episode:The spiritual meaning of menopause, and why Heather Hanson calls your 50s the autumn of your life, a season to let the leaves fall and stop carrying weight you no longer need.Why menopause is a spiritual passage into the crone stage, and how gathering with other women helps you know you are not alone with menopause brain and every other change.Stacking the Sacred, Heather’s practice of collecting every small sign that crosses your path on purpose, instead of stacking evidence that the universe is against you.Why it is all sacred or none of it is, and what poison ivy, its antidote, and the hidden star inside a cottonwood branch reveal about divine design.How to live by the Wheel of the Year, from planting intention seeds in the dark of January to using fallen birch bark as prayer paper in spring.How to work with the moon cycle: set your intention on the new moon, then use the full moon to look at what you have avoided and release it.How to tell the voice of spirit from the habitual voice of ego, and how knowing whether you are in a season of learning or teaching means you can stop working so hard.We talk about:00:00 Welcome back to Mystical Sisterhood with Heather Hanson05:02 Dancing the Medicine Wheel in Sedona07:11 Building The Wheel at Quiet Creek in Michigan12:56 Is it all sacred or none of it16:47 Teshuva and the practice of stacking the sacred20:11 The cottonwood star and signs from the universe29:51 What is the spiritual meaning of menopause35:09 Menopause brain, the crone stage, and women gathering39:59 How do you hear the voice of spirit42:43 Living in alignment with the Wheel of the Year45:59 New moon intentions and full moon release54:25 Seasons of learning and seasons of teachingResources mentioned in this episode:One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebiesAbout the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

The divine masculine and divine feminine are two expressions of one Creator, and according to Valerie Wood, they were never meant to compete. On episode 198 of Mystical Sisterhood®, Valerie shares how The Father energy arrived during an energy healing session in September 2024 with three words: let me in. If you are the strong one, the one who gives and gives as a daughter, mother, wife, or friend, this conversation is for you. When you stay stuck in the giving loop, you get tired, then burnt out, then resentful. That is not a flaw in you. It is a polarity asking for harmony.Maureen Spielman, a Spiritual Life Coach trained in Spiritual Psychology, welcomes back Valerie Wood, an intuitive, angel channel, and medium who has channeled Archangel Michael for two decades. Valerie explains why the Mother and Father speak of harmony, not balance, and how the Vesica Pisces, two circles overlapping, shows the space where giving and receiving meet. Then she channels the Divine Father and Divine Mother live. You will hear a simple daily acknowledgement practice, why a love letter to yourself counts as receiving, and the reminder at the heart of it all: the giver is not required to give. It chooses to give.What you’ll learn in this episode:Divine masculine and divine feminine, and why the Mother and Father describe Creator as one circle that duplicates into both energies so we can understand source through polarity.Harmony versus balance, and why the Mother and Father say you do not need a 50/50 split between giving and receiving, just a fluid return to harmony with your own spirit.The giving loop, and how to spot when service has turned into exhaustion, burnout, resentment, and sarcasm, so you know it is time to slide into receiving.How to receive when you are a natural giver, from a walk, a dance break, or ordering dinner in to writing a love letter to yourself and actually taking in the words.The I and the we, and why harmony starts within you, then ripples out through your children, your community, and the collective consciousness.Why the Divine Father does not judge, and how to meet your own judgment with grace when you only took five minutes to receive instead of a whole day.How the divine masculine and divine feminine are integrating right now, with women stepping into their divine masculine and younger men embracing empathy and caregiving.We talk about:00:00 Channeling the Mother and Father energies with Valerie Wood03:38 Embodied sisterhood and the I and the we05:12 The energy session where The Father said let me in11:30 Why Valerie resisted the Divine Father energy16:12 Divine masculine and divine feminine shoulder to shoulder17:10 Are the Mother and Father the same as God20:04 A year to acclimate to a higher vibration25:28 Harmony versus balance and the giving loop32:36 Why is the divine masculine coming forward now38:59 The Divine Father channeled live on giving and receiving48:36 The Divine Mother on new ways to receive54:17 Why the giver is not required to giveResources mentioned in this episode:One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebiesAbout the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.

Invisible woman syndrome is the belief that women fade from view as they age, and Maureen Spielman is witnessing the opposite. On episode 197 of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen explores women and visibility across every age and stage, from your 20s to your 70s. If you have ever felt unseen at work, in your family, or in your own body, you are not alone, and you are not stuck there. Women everywhere are speaking up, creating, healing, and refusing to shrink. This is not just a moment. It is a movement.Maureen Spielman is a Spiritual Life Coach trained in Spiritual Psychology and the host of Mystical Sisterhood®, where she has interviewed nearly 150 guests. In this solo episode, she shares four ways women are becoming more visible right now: vocal visibility, creative visibility, emotional and internal visibility, and visibility in aging. You will hear why Julia Louis-Dreyfus's podcast Wiser Than Me struck a chord with so many listeners, why self-care is no longer seen as selfish, and what Maureen means by embodied sisterhood. She also reflects on her mother's story and the healing tools her generation never had. You are visible. You are bright. There is room for all of us.What you’ll learn in this episode:Invisible woman syndrome, and why Maureen Spielman sees women stepping forward instead of shrinking, whether you are in your 20s, your later 50s, or well beyond.Vocal visibility, including how women are using their voices on podcasts, in their relationships, and through writing on platforms like Substack to say what they truly want.Creative visibility, and why claiming authorship of your own body of work, from a product to a women's group to a podcast, is a powerful way to be seen.Emotional and internal visibility, and how inner child work, reparenting, and understanding your nervous system help you release old roles like the people pleaser and the over-giver.Visibility in aging, and why women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s are moving past invisible woman syndrome by rejecting the cultural push to fade, without trying to act younger.Embodied sisterhood, Maureen's name for women showing up for one another in supportive and loving ways, and the simple action you can take today to practice it.We talk about:00:00 Why women are more visible than ever02:36 What is embodied sisterhood05:05 The Invisibility of Older Women article that sparked this episode08:47 Showing up in a story you never expected09:32 Is invisible woman syndrome only about aging11:13 Vocal visibility on podcasts, in relationships, and on Substack12:52 Creative visibility and owning your body of work14:05 Emotional visibility and doing the deeper inner work16:55 Visibility in aging and resisting the cultural push to fade18:40 What my mother's story taught me about healing21:42 How do you feel seen after imposter syndrome and self-doubt24:12 Embodied sisterhood and telling a woman what you see in herResources mentioned in this episode:One-on-One Coaching: Schedule a Discovery Call HereMystical Sisterhood® Resource Guide: https://www.maureenspielman.com/freebies About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood®, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion of consciousness to the world.
