Something changes when women stop performing and start telling the truth in a room that can hold it. We’re back for a “Whispers of Wisdom” catch-up to share what our summer retreats taught us about real community, real healing, and the kind of sacred space that actually follows you home. If you’ve been craving deeper connection, women’s circle energy, or a retreat that feels grounded instead of chaotic, this conversation is for you.

We talk about why women gathering in ceremony can feel like a lost art and why it’s returning now. We get into the practical ingredients: clear group agreements, confidentiality, self-responsibility, and the powerful shift from rescuing to witnessing. We also share a retreat detail we love, the no-tissues agreement, because it gently trains agency and nervous system safety without shutting emotions down. 

You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories from our own women’s retreats, including a four-elements arrival flow, cacao, sound bath, mirror work, journaling, pendulum basics, DIY oils, and the importance of pacing. Christine also shares a somatic emotional release ritual from Austin, followed by long integration rest and Reiki to help the body process what it just moved. We wrap with what we’re building next, including potential retreats in Hemet, California, Austin in the spring, and an MLK weekend Sacred Tantra retreat where integration is the heart of the work.

Subscribe for more shamanic Reiki, energy healing, women’s retreat wisdom, and sacred space practices, then share this with a friend who needs a softer place to land. Will you leave us a review and tell us what kind of retreat you’re craving most?

Plant medicine is everywhere right now and so is the quiet confusion that follows it: Was that healing, or was it just a peak experience I’m chasing again? We sit down with clinical hypnotherapist Derek Ivey to talk honestly about addiction, recovery, and why “spiritual” substance use still carries real risks when the integration piece is missing.

Derek shares his own journey through alcoholism, relapse, and the moment he knew he wouldn’t survive if he kept going. From 12-step recovery to Buddhism, Reiki, and deeper consciousness work, we track how shame and suppression can drive the need to alter our state just to feel confident, playful, or connected. We also talk about the cultural normalization of uppers and downers, coffee to push through the day and alcohol to shut off at night, and what changes when we stop forcing our bodies into a schedule that doesn’t fit.

We go deep on psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine, including the neuroplasticity window and why it can either support new habits or amplify the inner critic if you return to old patterns. Derek offers a grounded alternative through transpersonal journey work and hypnotherapy: not “renting the view,” but building the window, learning how to access non-ordinary reality and nervous system regulation without needing a chemical shortcut.

If you’ve been curious about psychedelics, navigating sobriety, or trying to heal without bypassing your real life, this conversation gives you language, nuance, and practical next steps. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more people find Wisdom Rising.

A live summer solstice gathering turns into a rapid-fire tour of the Bozeman, Montana holistic wellness scene. We’re at SpiritFest with quick, honest mini interviews that let you feel the heart of a local spiritual community: people showing up to heal, learn, and connect with practitioners who do more than a one-time session.

We start with Lauren, the host behind Tree of Life SpiritFest, sharing why she created a platform for retreats, courses, and ongoing support. From there we meet Erin, a mobile massage therapist blending Swedish relaxation with trigger point and treatment work, plus Allie from Lighthouse Bozeman, who brings sound healing into the spotlight with coherent field work and a powerful Sun Gong experience. If you’ve been curious about vibration therapy, gong baths, or sound as medicine, you’ll hear why the “felt” experience matters as much as the explanation.

We also talk intuitive tools that help people navigate transition seasons. Sharon Nicole offers astrology readings and oracle readings, tying self-expression and creativity to chart placements, while Monique breaks down mediumship, Reiki, theta healing, and QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique). She explains the theta brainwave state, exploring past-life or ancestral roots of patterns, shifting beliefs that no longer serve, and inviting deeper physical, mental, and emotional healing. The thread running through it all is simple: release what doesn’t fit anymore, trust your intuition, and listen to your body.

If you’re looking for energy healing, sound healing, astrology, QHHT, Reiki, or spiritual events in Bozeman, this is a great place to start. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave us a review with the modality you want to try next.

A middle school classroom can feel like a storm of emotions, hormones, and stories and that’s before we even get to the hard parts of history. Our guest, public school educator and Soul Rising graduate Lola Reddy, shares the real behind-the-scenes work that helps her stay steady: daily Reiki, clear energetic boundaries, and the kind of deep healing that changes how you respond when life is lifing. 

We talk about what drew Lola into Soul Rising during a major personal transition and why “self-work first” isn’t a slogan, it’s survival for caretakers, parents, and empaths. Lola breaks down her simple morning Reiki routine (breath, chakra focus, intention, and a protective bubble) and explains the difference it makes in patience, clarity, and classroom culture. We also explore somatic movement, matriarchal lineage support, and shamanic journeying that doesn’t require perfect visuals to be powerful. 

Then Lola shares unforgettable moments of synchronicity: a Fire Horse journey that later mirrors a real tunnel-to-light experience, Lunar New Year symbols appearing in ordinary life, and a power animal story that moves through fear, grief, and surprising support. We also go into what it means to teach slavery, lynching, and discrimination truthfully while protecting students’ emotional wellness, and why mentorship and community matter when you’re doing spiritual growth without the guru model. 

If you’re craving grounded spirituality, practical energy hygiene, and a path back to self-sourced wisdom, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a teacher or empath in your life, and leave a review so more people can find the work.

Some spiritual ideas sound beautiful until life breaks you open, then you need something that actually helps you live. Shantel Ochoa shares a recent live webinar on Soul Contracts and Archetypes, and she starts where many of us start: grief, unanswered questions, and the deep need to understand why certain losses and patterns shape us so intensely. From that raw place, we explore a framework that offers meaning without denying the pain, and a set of tools you can use to reclaim your power day by day.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Soul contracts as pre-birth agreements with soul family that shape relationships and life lessons 
🌖 Levels of consciousness, universal laws, free will, and how guides communicate through symbols and synchronicities 
🌗 Archetypes as universal energy patterns and personal mirrors, including charting them through the 12 houses 
🌘 Victim archetype as a map for power leaks, transformed through the sacred warrior and clean boundaries 
🌑 Saboteur archetype as fear and self-sabotage, shifted through the magician and intentional creation 
🌒 Prostitute archetype as self-compromise for security or approval, healed through the lover and self-worth 
🌓 Six child archetypes as roots of adult triggers, integrated into the sovereign child and inner authority 
🌔 Course format overview: eight weeks of videos, workbooks, live classes, journeys, and community support

Shantel draws on teachings linked to Carolyn Myss and Dolores Cannon (including QHHT influences), while grounding everything in lived experience and clear choices you can make when you feel triggered. If you’re craving spiritual growth that improves your boundaries, relationships, self-trust, and emotional resilience, this one will meet you right where you are.

The most disorienting seasons of life often aren’t the endings or the beginnings. They’re the in between. That’s where liminal space lives, and it’s where so many of us either break open into a truer life or try to force ourselves back into the old one.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• defining liminal spaces as the in between where time slows and growth accelerates
• using curiosity and metacognition to track reactions and rewrite old stories
• working with archetypes, parts, and soul contracts to integrate the self
• building energetic boundaries and differentiation to stay connected without shrinking
• naming dissociation patterns and returning to presence in the physical realm
• creating shared reality through collaboration instead of scarcity

Christine Renee sits down with Lacee Gengenbacher to name what liminal spaces actually feel like: time standing still, identity shifting, and the Tower moment where what “worked” stops working. We talk honestly about how expansion can get tangled with a chronically activated nervous system, why calm can feel unsafe after chaos, and how to reframe growth so it doesn’t require pain and suffering to be valid. Along the way, we dig into embodiment, nervous system safety, dissociation, and the practical power of curiosity and metacognition to track what’s really happening when you feel triggered.

We also connect the dots between parts work and spiritual practice, including archetypes, soul contracts, and Internal Family Systems style language. When the ground moves under you, the inner voices get louder, and we share ways to meet those parts with intention instead of judgment. A thread we keep coming back to is connection: you’re only as connected to others as you are to yourself, and energetic boundaries help you stay in your truth without shutting down your light.

We close by sharing what we’re building in community: the Gathering of the Mystics summit in Bozeman, Montana, a three day container designed for safe exploration, real integration, and shared medicine through speakers, workshops, and intentional ritual. If anything in your body perks up while you listen, trust that signal.

A single trigger can make you feel like you’ve lost all your progress, and then you’re left wondering why the same old story keeps replaying. We’ve learned that the fastest way out isn’t more self-judgment. It’s clearer inner language. When you can name the part of you that’s running the moment, you can stop blending with it and start choosing from a steadier place.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Archetypes as mirrors that reveal behavior patterns and trauma responses 
🌖 Using roles like mother, daughter, wife as an entry point to archetypal awareness 
🌗 The witness and the sacred warrior for boundaries, accountability, and conscious action 
🌘 The queen archetype and reclaiming healthy feminine leadership beyond cultural stereotypes 
🌑 People pleasing as the prostitute archetype and the move toward priestess aligned service 
🌒 Disruptor and destroyer energy as tower moments that clear the path for realignment 
🌓 Saboteur patterns, imposter syndrome, and shifting into magician level creation 
🌔 Avoiding the wounded rescuer trap and practicing clean support as a practitioner

Christine Renee and Shantel Ochoa go deep on embodied archetype work, sharing how archetypes act like a map for patterns, trauma responses, boundaries, and relationship dynamics. You’ll hear how people pleasing can be an integrity leak, how discernment differs from self-sabotage, and how “maturing” an archetype can feel softer and more sustainable than trying to fix yourself. We also touch on the disruptor and destroyer archetypes, why tower moments can be initiations, and how the four bodies (mental, emotional, spiritual, physical) get pulled out of balance when we engage from shadow.

If you’re a healer, empath, or spiritual practitioner, we also name the wounded rescuer trap and what it looks like to hold a clean container without fixing. For anyone craving clarity, purpose, and deep spiritual alignment, we share details on Shantel’s Soul Contracts and Alchemizing Archetypes masterclass starting June 23.

Your energy field isn’t just “vibes” floating around you. It’s a living system that reflects your boundaries, your self-worth, and the places where you’ve learned to contract for safety. We walk through a grounded, usable way to understand chakras as interlocking energy centers and why one stuck “gear” can ripple into the rest of your life, from survival stress and people pleasing to muted pleasure and creative shutdown. 

Christine Rene brings decades of energy healing and Reiki experience into a clear framework: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown as a practical roadmap for emotional health, physical tension, and spiritual alignment. We also explore the earth star chakra and sun star chakra as powerful connection points, helping you release and ground into Earth energy while also receiving guidance and nourishment from divine intelligence. 

Then we connect the dots to Tantra as an embodied method, not a concept: breath, sound, and movement to shift energy through the “inner flute” and restore flow. This is where psychic protection gets real. When unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs create weak spots in the auric field, cords and intrusive energy can hook in more easily. When your toroidal field is strong, you feel steadier, clearer, and harder to knock off center, without bypassing your shadows. 

Join us for She Who Rises starting May 26th to activate and energize your field, expand your pleasure, and enliven your psychic protection.

Sex, spirituality, and “psychic protection” usually get filed into separate boxes. Here at Moon Rising, we don’t. Christine Renee sits down with student and shamanic Reiki practitioner Stacy Saucedo to trace a real learning path: how a simple question (“Why Chakras?”) turns into a deeper relationship with energy, the body, and the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Letting go of “fixing” energy and practicing self-acceptance
🌖 How She Who Rises grew from intro to tantra into deeper conversation and integration
🌗 Talking about sex as sacred while respecting edges, boundaries, and trauma history
🌘 Psychic protection as strengthened field, grounded releases, and better energetic boundaries
🌑 Chakra education plus polyvagal theory to expand the zone of tolerance🌒 Microcosmic orbit, breath, sound, and movement as daily energy hygiene

We talk candidly about women’s sexuality and tantra as a practice of self-acceptance, not self-fixing. That means making room for the full range of human experience in sacred space: curiosity, joy, embarrassment, grief, anger, and the places where a topic hits an edge. We also unpack why shame and cultural silence can keep the nervous system locked in contraction, and how honest conversation plus somatic tools can start to soften that grip.

From there, we connect the dots between pleasure, boundaries, and energetic safety. Christine shares how breath, sound, and movement strengthen the field, how chakra education becomes practical when it’s embodied, and why polyvagal basics (hyperarousal, hypoarousal, and the zone of tolerance) matter for empaths, healers, and anyone who tends to “carry” others. You’ll also hear concrete energy hygiene ideas, including grounding releases, working with support in the unseen, and the microcosmic orbit as a way to circulate energy through the body.

If you’re looking for women’s tantra training, chakra healing, somatic movement practices, cord attachment awareness, or a grounded approach to psychic protection, this conversation gives you a clear map and a next step. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs stronger boundaries, and leave a review telling us what topic you want us to go deeper on next.

Coming out later in life can feel like the moment everything finally makes sense, until you realize freedom also brings you face-to-face with the pain you’ve been carrying for decades. I’m joined by Peter Kahn, a Reiki practitioner, reclaiming witch, and Soul Rising graduate, for a candid conversation about growing up bullied, hiding a trans identity for survival, and what it’s like to finally say “I’m not just an ally, I’m a member” out loud.

We dig into Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work and why “there are no bad parts” is more than a nice idea. Peter shares how shifting from fixing himself to holding space for himself softened defensiveness, changed his relationship with work, and made self-worth feel less like homework and more like coming home. We also talk nervous system regulation in everyday life, including how to notice your warning lights before you explode, and why curiosity beats post-mortem analysis every time.

The conversation widens into culture and community: microaggressions, othering, and the responsibility of people who still “code” as the dominant group to show up as real allies. We explore the practice of calling people in instead of calling people out, without giving anyone a pass for harm. Then we bring it back to spiritual healing, with Reiki, shamanism, journeying, guides, power animals, earthing, animism, and the relief of feeling connected to something larger than the isolated self.

If you’re navigating gender identity, rebuilding self-esteem, healing trauma, or searching for grounded spiritual tools that work in real life, this one is for you. Subscribe, share with someone who needs to hear “you’re not broken,” and leave a review so more listeners can find Wisdom Rising.

You can feel it when a spiritual gathering is more than a marketplace. Over Spring Equinox, we Tree Of Life SpiritFest in Bozeman, Montana, and we’re bringing you the heart of what made the day special: real community, real conversation, and practical tools that land in the body, not just the mind. After a quick recap of the event, we shift into a live panel with a beautifully diverse group of practitioners spanning Thai Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda, EFT tapping and Biotap, Chakradance, Kundalini Tantra, shadow work, Reiki, vocal alchemy, and intuitive development. 

The audience questions take us straight into the places most people are actually living: What’s the difference between grace and love when you’re trying to hold compassion and boundaries at the same time? How do you pick a modality when you’re dealing with long-term trauma, ADHD, hormone shifts, and a deep desire to find your voice? We talk about why the “one true path” idea can add pressure, how discernment works in real life, and why following the next right step often beats trying to get it perfect. 

We also explore grounding through stress as nervous system care and spiritual practice together, using breath, ritual, and radical acceptance to move from survival mode back into center. If you’re searching for energy healing, chakra balancing, somatic practices, tantra meditation, or a grounded approach to spiritual development, this conversation offers both perspective and tangible takeaways. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s craving community, and leave a review with your biggest question from the panel.

Suffering can be loud, but it’s often just repetitive, a thought you can’t stop replaying or a body response that keeps reacting like the past is still happening. We sit down and get honest about how we “subscribe” to our own suffering through identity, comparison, and nervous system loops, and what it actually takes to step out of that pattern with radical responsibility. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the struggle bus, this conversation offers a grounded way to name what’s going on and start changing it.

Today we’ll explore:

• Defining suffering as mental loops and stuckness
• Noticing when pain becomes identity and comparison culture reinforces it
• Understanding how the brain and body relive the past through stress chemistry
• Separating mind healing from somatic healing and why both matter
• Using expression and integration to release stored trauma
• Working with the four bodies: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual
• Calling power back through forgiveness, boundaries, and radical responsibility
• Reparenting shadow parts and nurturing the inner bear
• Choosing yin softness or yang strength based on what you need
• Shifting frequency through self-care, community, nature, and being witnessed

We also share why loneliness can show up during growth, how to choose environments that “vibrate up,” and why being witnessed is medicine. If you’re drawn to energy healing, we mention upcoming ways to go deeper, including Reiki Level One training and She Who Rises, a 3-Month Journey of Feminine Awakening, Energy Mastery & Embodied Power focused on chakras, aura, psychic protection, and energetic sovereignty.

You don’t need a perfect script to lead powerful ceremony. You need a clear intention, a well-held container, and the skills to guide people through real emotion without leaving them raw or ungrounded. We share a webinar replay that opens the door to what we teach inside our six-week intensive training, The Art of Creating Ceremony, and we make it practical for anyone called to facilitate circles, rituals, or community gatherings.

We talk about why ceremony helps people drop the mask, speak from the heart, and feel truly seen and heard. Then we get specific about what makes facilitation ethical and effective: trauma-informed spaceholding, consent and boundaries, energetic hygiene, psychic protection, and the often-missed step of integration time at the end so participants can ground what moved. We also cover the real-world facilitator mechanics that matter just as much as the mysticism, like timekeeping, managing oversharing, and creating clear sharing prompts that keep a group connected.

From moon circles to elemental rituals, we walk through ceremony styles you can adapt to your own voice: new moon manifestation and full moon release, cacao ceremony as heart-centered plant medicine, Reiki-infused circles, sound baths, shamanic drum circles, and money mindset candle ceremonies including building money bowls with herbs and intention. We also explain how practice and feedback build confidence faster than theory, and how our training structure supports you as you step from student to facilitator.

If you’re ready to create sacred space that’s grounded, safe, and deeply transformational, listen now and then subscribe, share this with a friend who leads circles, and leave a review so more people can find the work.

Something is shifting: we’re noticing a real drive toward in-person ceremony where your senses come online and your nervous system can finally soften into connection. From cacao ceremony to new moon circles to sound baths with drumming and Reiki, we talk about what makes a sacred container feel grounded, intentional, and actually transformative.

In this episode, we explore:

• The shift toward in-person spiritual community and why it matters

• Shantel’s journey into becoming a full-time ceremonialist

• Christine’s experience in blessingway ceremonies to Goddess playdates

• Ceremonial elements that deepen engagement 

• Using ceremonies as a low-risk way for people to meet your work and upscale your business

• Details on the Art Of Creating Ceremony training format and practice-based feedback

• Tomorrow night’s offering of a mini training session on the art of creating ceremonies

We also get practical about the business side of spiritual facilitation.

Ready to turn a circle into a true ceremony? We open the door to what makes a space feel sacred by walking through the nuts and bolts that most people skip. From the first breath to the final closing, we share how intention, clear roles, and grounded presence transform a gathering into a container where people can release, receive, and remember who they are.

In this episode, we’ll explore: 

• Ceremony as cornerstone of practice and community
• Defining sacred containers
• Facilitator presence, grounding, and energetic check‑ins
• Talking sticks, time limits, and pacing
• Drum circles with intention not noise
• Balancing depth, play, and collective energy
• Trusting small groups, themes, and alignment
• Mentorship, collaboration, and elevating details
• The Art Of Creating Ceremony training logistics

We dive into practical tools: building an altar as a living offering, calling the directions or ancestors in a way that fits your lineage, and using a talking stick to balance voices. We break down facilitator skills you can practice today—reading the room, setting time boundaries with kindness, and choosing elemental focus to match the moment. Our candid stories reveal how the elements teach in real time, including a fire that roared two feet high indoors and a stubborn scrap of “fear” that refused to burn. These moments aren’t accidents; they’re messages. Learn to notice, reflect, and integrate the signs so participants leave lighter and clearer.

If you’ve felt the nudge to lead—whether you’re a Reiki practitioner, coach, yoga teacher, or community builder—we map the path from curiosity to confident spaceholding. We also unveil The Art of Creating Ceremony, our six‑week training that blends learning with live creation: moon circles, cacao, elemental rites, drum journeys, candle magic, and prosperity rituals. You’ll rotate into the facilitator seat, receive feedback, and leave with adaptable templates and the nervous‑system steadiness that makes every tool work.

Come for grounded guidance, stay for the stories, and leave with a blueprint you can apply to your next circle. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who’s ready to lead, and leave a review telling us: which element are you called to work with first?

You can ask Spirit for help and actually get an answer. Not as a vague sign you second-guess for weeks, but as a felt experience that brings clarity, comfort, and a next step you can act on.

We’ll explore:

• Soul Rising and learning to journey independently into the shamanic realm
• Asking Spirit for help and how support shows up through collaboration
• The need for sacred containers where masks can soften safely
• What the upper world is and how spirit guides differ from celestial beings or angels
• How the upper world may appear as light, clouds, temples, gardens, or symbols
• Releasing expectations and receiving through sight, sound, feeling, scent, or knowing
• Guided journey: calling directions, traveling up, meeting a guide, receiving messages and gifts
• Sharing experiences and invitations to connect with the community

We start by reflecting on the impact of a Lower World journey to meet a Power Animal, including how quickly people discover, “Wait, I can do this.” From there we talk about what happens when we stop trying to muscle our way through growth alone. Christine shares a real-time story of divine timing and collaboration, the kind that lands right after you finally say, “Help me, meet me halfway.” We also explore why spiritual burnout is so common and how sacred containers, ceremony, and community support create the safety needed for vulnerability and real healing.

Then we shift into an introduction to the Upper World in shamanism: a high-vibration realm of spirit guides, loving ancestors, angels, compassion, unity, and wisdom. We explain how the Upper World may appear as light, clouds, water, temples, gardens, or pure energy and why releasing expectations is key to receiving clear messages through the mind’s eye and the senses. Finally, we lead a guided shamanic journey to the Upper World to meet your spirit guide, receive a message, exchange a gift, and return grounded with gratitude.

If this lights something up in you, listen through, share your experience with us, and subscribe for more shamanic journeying, energy healing, and shamanic Reiki teachings. If you found it helpful, please share the episode with a friend and leave a review.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “making it up” during a meditative visualization, this guided shamanic journey will change how you relate to your imagination. We’re Christine Renee and Shantel Ochoa, and we’re opening the door to the lower world, a grounded shamanic realm of nature, instinct, and deep support where power animals and spirit allies live. Along the way, we explain what the lower world is, how the entrance can show up as tunnels, roots, water, or a crack in the earth, and why the landscape often mirrors what you need most right now.

We’ll explore: 

• What the lower world is and why it feels earthy and grounding
• How power animals communicate through metaphor and symbolism
• Why your entrance and landscape can change from journey to journey
• How to notice sensory details to make the journey feel clearer and more “real”
• What calling in the seven directions does and how it creates energetic safety
• A guided shamanic journey to meet your power animal
• A live example journey with a black bear and the lesson of the honeycomb
• How we teach journeying inside Soul Rising Shamanic Reiki

We also get practical about power animals: why they show up as protectors, how they carry the “medicine” of their species, and why small or unexpected animals (and even mythical creatures) can be exactly right. We talk about symbolism and metaphor as the primary language of spirit animals, plus the single biggest skill that makes journeywork easier over time: releasing expectations and letting the experience unfold through your senses.

Then we guide you through a full lower world visualization to meet a helping spirit, receive a message, and return safely to your starting point. After the journey, Christine shares a vivid story of merging with a mama black bear and finding honey surrounded by bees, a lesson on going for the sweetness of life even when fear tries to keep you back. We also share how our Soul Rising Shamanic Reiki training supports students with journeying, interpretation, and a protected container for deeper healing work.

We share a grounded path into shamanic journeying, explore the lower world, and show how power animals and symbols offer practical guidance. We reflect on surrender, interpretation, and why story can help Western minds release patterns and choose steadier action.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Grounding breath and roots to settle scattered energy 

🌖 What shamanic journeying is and why intention matters 

🌗 The power of sensory experience in Lower World journeys 

🌘 Difference between surrendering in journey and interpreting after 

🌑 Power animals as teachers of pace and pattern 

🌒 Working with snake, eagle, mouse, elephant, snail medicine 

🌓 Discerning shadow vs light and maintaining boundaries 

🌔 Bringing journey insights into Reiki and daily life

🌕 Details on our Soul Rising shamanic Reiki training

We explore power animals as allies with real-world impact. Think elephant for loyalty and family, mouse for precise repair, eagle for retrieval and perspective, and snake for deep clearing and renewal. We talk about discerning shadow from light, how to avoid forcing meanings, and why surrendering during the journey matters as much as interpreting afterward. If you practice Reiki or energy work, you’ll learn how journey skills sharpen boundaries, reduce projection, and turn session imagery into grounded insights clients can use the same day.

This conversation lives where spirit meets daily life. We honor the Western need for story without getting stuck in it, then translate symbolic lessons into small actions: breath when heavy, movement when numb, perspective when fixated on the problem. We explain a simple framework to enter non-ordinary reality safely, meet your allies, and return with clear next steps. Curious to go further with trusted guidance and community? Explore our ​Soul Rising Shamanic Reiki ​ training, now in early-bird enrollment. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs grounding, and leave a review to help others find the work.

Feeling the wind pick up right as you exhale? Waking at 2 a.m. with vivid images and next steps? We lean into those moments and show how shamanism turns them into reliable guidance for everyday life. From blessing water to drumming into trance, we walk through simple, repeatable practices that calm the mind, restore energy, and help you act with clarity.

In this episode you’ll explore:

• Shamanism as presence, not doctrine
• Listening to wind, sun, and seasons for cues
• Drumming and rattles for trance and soul retrieval
• Meeting and embodying power animals
• Shadow work through energy centers and elements
• Calling on loving ancestors for support

We unpack animism in plain language: everything carries spirit, and the elements are willing collaborators. Water rinses what you no longer need. Wind clears busy thoughts. Earth holds and composts. Fire transforms. We share stories from outdoor Reiki sessions, group drumming, and those uncanny times when nature answers a prayer in real time. You’ll hear how power animals show up with specific medicine—sometimes ferocity, often rest and nourishment—and how embodying their traits changes posture, breath, and daily choices.

Shadow work runs beneath it all. We talk through meeting anger and grief without flinching, working through the energy centers, and calling back lost parts with compassion. As clarity returns, health habits shift, boundaries strengthen, and community appears where expansion is welcomed. No dogma. No one-size-fits-all routine. Just tools you can adapt—breath, smudge, journeying, journaling—to access self-sourced wisdom on command.

We also open early bird enrollment for our five-month Soul Rising Shamanic Reiki program, designed for real schedules with flexible call times, recordings, and an app-based community. Whether you’re brand new to journeying or ready to deepen your practice, you’ll learn to trust your visions, work with guides, and build rituals that stick. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s waking at 2 a.m., and leave a review with the one practice you’re trying this week.

Grief can freeze a life—or forge it. We open a raw, grounded conversation about death, loss, and the quiet rebirth that follows, guided by Shantel’s story of losing her 16‑year‑old son and the years of healing that turned pain into purpose. Together we explore what conscious grieving looks like in real time: feeling everything without drowning, setting gentle containers for emotion, and choosing tiny acts of life that keep you moving when the weight says stay in bed.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Turning grief from paralysis into practice 

🌖 Cultural timelines for funerals and energy movement 

🌗 Grief beyond death: identity, relationship, opportunity 

🌘 Ongoing bonds, signs, and frequency of connection 

🌑 Service as integration and post‑traumatic growth 

🌒 Using archetypes and soul contracts to map meaning 

🌓 Community spaces for being witnessed and supported

Whether you relate to mysticism or prefer a psychological frame, the core insight holds: grief needs motion, breath, and witness. You’ll hear practical tools like thought catching to stop mental spirals, timeboxing to honor waves without losing the day, and body‑based practices that move grief through the chakras so healing is felt, not just analyzed.

If you’re early in grief, take what helps and leave what doesn’t. When you’re ready for more structure, we share two pathways: our Conscious Grievers group, which blends coaching, energy work, and community, and our Soul Contracts and Archetypes masterclass starting March 23rd to map meaning and reclaim agency. And Join the Mystic Moon Collective, our monthly membership with weekly classes! Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find this space. Your presence lifts the collective—one honest breath at a time.

What actually makes a group feel safe enough to transform? We open with a vulnerable debrief from a tantric couples retreat—where the intention was beautiful but the container felt thin—and use it to map the anatomy of true space holding. From feeling “muted” to identifying the missing check-ins, we explore how safety, consent, and integration are built through small, deliberate choices rather than rushed practices.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Naming desire and boundaries as core skills 

🌖 Why context-rich introductions build empathy 

🌗 Five-minute integration transitions are valued over more practices 

🌘 Simple somatic resets to integrate 

🌑 Reaffirming the sacred container each day 

🌒 How to design meals for processing 

🌓 Upcoming women’s tantra circles and trainings

We get practical fast. You’ll hear simple tools that change the room in minutes: one-word emotion rounds, quick chakra check-ins, collective sighs, shaking and brushing off energy, and five-minute integration windows between practices. We talk through context-rich introductions that include desires, fears, and boundaries so participants can empathize and calibrate. We also share a favorite design move for tight schedules: intentional meal tables—quiet journaling, open processing, Q&A with assistants, and light social a—so connection keeps breathing even when the agenda is full.

Real mastery of facilitation meets people at the gate—honoring sovereignty, reaffirming the sacred container each day, and inviting voice without forcing performance. If you facilitate spiritual retreats, circles, or trainings this is a blueprint for building nervous-system-safe spaces where people can risk, reveal, and integrate.

We also share upcoming offerings: ​She Who Speaks​, our women’s tantra integration circle; ​Mystic Moon Collective​ with a guided shamanic journey; ​Intro to Tantra​; and a Valentine’s Day self-love package designed to activate daily rituals and clear limiting beliefs. Find our complete calendar of events​ here! ​ If this conversation resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review telling us one practice that makes you feel safe to share.

Ever feel your life is too loud to hear yourself think? We dive into a grounded path back to center using somatic awareness, mindfulness, shamanic journeying, and tantra-informed movement. Christine Rene and Chantel Ochoa unpack how external inputs—news feeds, cluttered rooms, and other people’s needs—can hijack our nervous systems, then walk through practical ways to reclaim agency and come home to the body.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Returning to the self as a practical path 

🌖 Reducing external inputs and reclaiming agency 

🌗 Somatic curiosity: color, shape, movement of tension 

🌘 Full guided drop-in and mini heart practice 

🌑 Movement, breathwork, and tantra-informed tools 

🌒 Archetypes for patterns, boundaries, and balance 

🌓 Shamanic release, cord cutting, and soul retrieval

You’ll be guided through two practices you can repeat anytime: a fuller somatic drop-in that helps you identify where tension lives, what it looks like, and how it wants to move; and a fast “mind-to-heart” reset that quiets analysis so a wiser answer can surface. We talk about the witch’s wound and the courage to feel safe sharing spiritual gifts, why dance and breath unstick old emotions, and how small, consistent rituals build trust with yourself. If you’ve ever asked why the same patterns keep returning, we explore a powerful metaphor: setting down the backpack of the past. Through shamanic tools like symbolic release and soul retrieval, those cords thin with practice, and the body becomes your early warning system when you try to pick the weight back up.

We also show how archetypes and soul contracts illuminate patterns in relationships and leadership, improving boundaries and communication. From sunrise prayers to altar time, from quantum light breath to gentle stretching, this conversation invites you to design rituals that match your life so you can move from constriction to expansion. For deeper study and community, we share details on Soul Rising, Archetypes and Soul Contracts, Intro to Tantra with Jim McDonald, Facilitator Training for ceremonial space, and our weekly Mystic Moon Collective.

If this conversation helps you breathe easier, share it with a friend who needs a reset, subscribe so you don’t miss new episodes, and leave a review with your favorite practice you’ll try this week.

Breath without grounding floats away. Grounding without breath forgets to dream. We dove into the living relationship between air and earth—how vision, intuition, and voice meet presence, safety, and action—to turn inner whispers into real-world change. From composting heavy emotions with tree roots to freeing a stuck throat with one honest breath, we share simple practices that help you shift out of loops and into flow.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Air as ideas, intuition and communication
• Earth as presence, safety and manifestation
• Composting heavy emotion into usable energy
• Body scans to locate energy by chakra and element
• Practical tools for grounding and breath-based release
• Spotting imbalance and language to rebalance clients
• Grief without judgment as a sign of aliveness
• Shamanic journeywork as earth body and air vision
• Community practice in an interactive monthly container

We map manifestation as a pathway through the elements and the body: air brings the idea and the language, fire lends will, water fuels creativity, and earth gives it bones. That path also runs in reverse, lifting primal desire at the root up through breath and voice until it radiates into your field as a clear invitation. Along the way, we unpack signs of imbalance—overthinking, anxiety, disassociation, hyper-focus on details—and offer language and facilitation prompts that widen a grounded state or land a lofty one. This is Kokoro in action: heart, mind, and body aligned so thought serves love and the body carries change until it’s real.

You’ll hear a vivid journey story of merging with a golden field of consciousness—why several people can receive the same idea at once—and how to pour that light back into daily life: food, movement, ritual, and care. We close with practical, shamanic tools you can use today: drumming, feathers, incense, calling directions, crystal grids, and a body-led check-in to choose earth or air on purpose. Plus, we introduce our Mystic Moon Collective, a monthly, interactive space with shamanic journey (earth) and sacred conversations (air) designed to help you practice, share, and grow with community.

Ready to trade burnout for balance and turn everyday rituals into real energy work? We dive into the living language of the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—and focus on Fire and Water as part one of a two part series. Christine and Shantel share personal stories, practical tips, and grounded tools you can use immediately, from manifestation water glasses to fire rituals. 

In today’s episode we’ll explore: 

• Elemental personalities and how to spot them
• Water as cleanser, conduit and intention carrier
• Safe disposal and home energy hygiene with water
• Fire for release, illumination and solar plexus power
• Expanding beyond the warrior archetype
• Presence, gratitude and dissolving FOMO

We also introduce the Mystic Moon Collective, a weekly membership designed around the elements: tarot for fiery clarity, Reiki shares for watery flow, shamanic journeys for earthy roots, and sacred conversations for airy insight. Each session is interactive, welcoming all levels, and supported by a private community chat so you can practice, reflect, and get feedback between gatherings. If you’re craving structure that still leaves room for magic, this mix of ritual, skill-building, and community will feel like home.

A single phone call felt like lightning in the body, and everything changed. That’s how Stephanie’s story begins—a sudden, magnetic pull that cracked open visions, relentless poems, and a grief that didn’t belong to this lifetime. We invited her to share the journey from “I’m losing my mind” to published poet, from spiraling nights to grounded sovereignty, and how a past-life regression gave shape to a mystery that words like chemistry could never hold.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Clear cognizance, visions, and cognitive dissonance 

🌖 The spiral into suicidality and seeking help 

🌗 Therapy limits and turning to psychic support 

🌘 Finding a “soul doctor” (that's Christine!!) and building sovereignty 

🌑 Journeys, darkness at the edge, and sovereignty 

🌒 Making boundaries with a past self 

🌓 Assembling poems into a healing chronology 

🌔 Hope, persistence, and choosing this life 

We walk through the hard parts with care: cognitive dissonance that made reality blur, days of shaking that looked like seizures, and the fear of speaking up in case help meant being dismissed or medicated. Stephanie explains how therapy helped until it didn’t, and how a layered path—psychic guidance, Shamanic Reiki, sovereignty statements, nature, and Soul Rising—steadied her nervous system and returned her to the present. Along the way, the house hummed with strange phenomena, the treadmill surged on its own, and a closet became a chorus of footsteps. These moments aren’t just plot points; they’re lessons in energy hygiene and boundaries. 

Stephanie’s book, A Past Life Bleed Through, collects poems received in the storm and arranges them into a map—from rupture to integration. You’ll hear why community matters, how shared patterns across journeys validate experience, and why trees became unexpected teachers in transmuting fear into steadiness. 

If you’re curious about past lives, energy healing, spiritual emergence, or how creativity can become a lifeline, this story offers both language and tools. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more seekers find their footing. Then tell us: what practice keeps you anchored when the unseen gets loud?

The difference between a good circle and a life-shifting one often comes down to the invisible: presence, pacing, and the confidence to hold what arises without trying to fix it. We open up the craft of facilitation and show how to turn your certifications—Reiki, breathwork, hypnosis, somatics—into powerful group experiences that people remember and return to.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Aligning presence with breath, tone and pacing
• Reading the room and guiding energy toward intention
• De-escalating conflict and time-bounding emotional surges
• Somatic and meditative drops that open the heart
• Creating monthly circles that build community and retention
• Ethical pricing and the mindset of a spiritual entrepreneur
• Mixed modalities as a unique facilitator signature

We walk through the real skills you need to lead with heart and steadiness: reading the room, asking empowering questions, redirecting tangents, and de-escalating conflict without shaming anyone. You’ll hear how we use breath patterns, eye-softening, and body awareness to drop participants into a regulated, receptive state. Then we layer in sensory ritual—scent, candlelight, music, drumming—to signal safety and depth, and we map an arc that starts grounded, rises with purpose, and closes clean so people leave integrated and clear.

If you’re wondering how to make this sustainable, we go there too. Ethical pricing, consistency through monthly circles, and designing offers that fit your voice and community are central themes. Mixed modalities aren’t a problem to hide; they’re your signature. We outline our six-week intensive with Sunday skill sessions and Wednesday practicums, plus case studies and business support so you finish with a launch-ready class, series, or retreat and the inner certainty to deliver it.

What if the cure for clinginess, stagnant desire, and mixed‑signal intimacy isn’t more effort, but a new direction for your energy? We share a vivid lower world journey that reframed attachment as a call to return to the root, then show how vertical flow—from earth to crown and back—fortifies your field so connection feels generous, not grasping.

We break down the difference between horizontal cords that tether you to others and the toroidal loop that nourishes you from within. Expect practical tools you can try today: breath‑led chakra awareness, the “Sufi’s grind” spiral to compost stress and inhale blessings, and micro‑practices that take five to twenty minutes. We talk about moving from heart‑hungry to self‑sourced, why consistent somatics calm the nervous system, and how couples thrive when each partner energizes their own field first. Sex shifts from transaction to devotion when you’re both resourced.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Vertical energy flow replacing horizontal cords 

🌖 Toroidal field, breathwork, and Sufi’s grind 

🌗 Post‑holiday attachment, boundaries, self‑resourcing 

🌘 Creatrix energy and movement for sacral flow 

🌑 Trauma‑informed safety, anatomy and pleasure education 

🌒 Private rituals like yoni gazing 

🌓 Partnership without energetic siphoning 

🌔 Course overview: five‑week She Who Rises

You’ll hear candid stories about healing patterns of energetic siphoning, tending the creatrix within, and inviting movement—dance, sound, hips—to unlock sacral flow after years of compressed productivity. Think nourishment over quick fixes, vertical flow over cords, and intimacy that lasts beyond the weekend glow.

If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show. Have a question or want the course links? Reach out and join us as we rise from root to the cosmos.

The darkest night can be the clearest mirror. We step into solstice energy to explore what it really means to shed, integrate, and choose sovereignty—moving from the snake’s inward season to the horse’s bold momentum. We show how simple ceremonies become a powerful container for release and renewal. Drawing on Inanna’s descent, we pass seven gates of letting go—judgment, rejection, persecution, betrayal, abandonment, fear, and doubt—until we meet the part of ourselves we’ve exiled. From there, integration is possible. We talk about becoming the observer in your healing so the body stops bracing, and how blacked-out memories can surface when capacity grows. 

In this episode, we explore:

🌕 Solstice rituals as containers for release and renewal
🌖 Snake to horse energetic shift and what it unlocks
🌗 Inanna’s descent as a map for shadow integration
🌘 Becoming the observer to regulate and heal 
🌑 Blacked-out memories, capacity, and consent with self
🌒 Holding space versus trauma dumping with clear asks
🌓 Simple embodiment tools to fill your own cup
🌔 New offerings: She Who Rises, Through The Veil, The Art of Holding Space Facilitator Training

This conversation is also a preview of what we’re building next: She Who Rises, a women’s tantra masterclass to awaken kundalini, balance inner masculine and feminine, and reclaim pleasure as a devotional practice; Through The Veil, a conscious grieving coaching circle that alchemizes loss into forward motion; and The Art of Holding Space, a multi-part facilitator training that centers communication, group dynamics, and somatic presence so you can blend your modalities and lead with confidence. The thread through it all is self-sourced wisdom—tools that help you root into Earth, love on our shadowy parts, and make clear choices from sovereignty, not urgency.

If this resonates, follow and subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show. Tell us: what are you ready to shed, and what light are you calling back?

The holidays can be a beautiful strain on the heart—full of memories, expectations, and a thousand quiet reminders of what’s changed. We sit down to unpack conscious grieving with open hands: how to honor what hurts, make space for what heals, and choose traditions that actually support your nervous system. This isn’t a tidy list of stages; it’s a living practice that meets you where you are, whether you’re grieving a loved one, a marriage, a job, or an old identity that no longer fits.

In this episode, we explore:

🌕 Grief showing up as physical signals in the body
🌖 Boundaries for parties, family plans, and social energy
🌗 Honoring grief beyond death including divorce and identity loss
🌘 Cyclical grief via chakras and the medicine wheel, not linear stages
🌑 The hero’s journey as a frame for separation, initiation, and return
🌒 Preparing for hard dates with planned support and self-care
🌓 Permission to be imperfect parents and simplify routines
🌔 Moving anger safely with rage rooms, breath, and movement
🌕 Letting small moments of joy coexist with sorrow

You’ll get practical holiday tools: set clean boundaries for social events, create rituals of remembrance (an empty chair, a candle, a favorite dish), and plan for hard dates with therapy, movement, or extra rest. We share scripts for loved ones who want to help and specifics that lift the load—meals, childcare, dishes—without adding decision fatigue. We talk rage rooms and why moving anger can unlock the sadness beneath it. And we normalize small glimmers of joy: they don’t betray your grief; they remind you that your heart still works.

Join Shantel Ochoa in a twice monthly online conscious grieving support group, Through The Veil-Conscious Grieving Group, in a compassionate space to heal through the many layers of grief that touch all areas of life—loss of a loved one, relationships, identity, health, opportunities, or life transitions.

The group will offer an empathetic, supportive environment to explore emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself at a deeper level. You will learn tools to honor your grief, regulate your emotional and energetic body, and cultivate healing that extends beyond the sessions into everyday life.

Group sessions will be held every month on the 2nd and 4th Monday 3-5pm PT/ 6-8pm ET. Our first call will be January 12th.  Join us for this monthly membership by clicking below at just $144/month:

A winter squall hit the moment we sat down to record—perfect timing for a conversation about meeting the storm without losing yourself. We welcome Lacee Gengenbacher, a licensed mental health counselor turned shadow witch, to explore how shadow alchemy transforms fear, shame, and reactivity into clarity, choice, and real power. Together we unpack a grounded path from talk therapy to parts work, somatic intelligence, and sacred journeying—practices that turn “I don’t know” from a roadblock into a guide.

Lacee shares how Internal Family Systems helped her listen to protectors instead of battling them, and how curiosity plus love creates room for the shadow to reveal its gifts. We discuss the difference between ego advice and channeled guidance, what it means to be the “hollow bone,” and why triggers are invitations to alignment rather than proof of failure. A powerful story about her son on the basketball court shows compassion in action, while a raw account of neighbor conflict becomes a lesson in boundaries, cords, and redirecting energy back to source.

In this episode we explore:

• living the storm metaphor with intention

• moving from licensed counselor to shadow witch identity

• IFS parts work reframed as alchemy

• somatic cues as truth signals in the body

• journeywork as a container for the “I don’t know”

• triggers as invitations to alignment not shame

• cords, protection, and redirecting energy to source

• compassion in conflict and community dynamics

• shop as portal: tools, tarot, spell bar, and sessions

• practical ways to witness and release shadow

We also step inside Mountain Witch, Lacee’s Bozeman shop—a portal for practical magic. From tarot for direction to shadow alchemy sessions and a hands-on spell bar, the space is designed to help you slow down, hear your body, and anchor new beliefs with ritual. If “positive vibes only” has ever felt hollow, this conversation offers another way: receive the energy, learn its message, alchemize what’s heavy, and decide what stays. Subscribe now, share this with a friend who’s ready to meet their shadow, and leave a review telling us which part of you is asking to be seen next.

On today’s episode, we share stories of kitchens loud with laughter, tamale days that turn work into ritual, and the healing power of nostalgia when it’s used as a compass rather than a cage. You’ll hear how legacy recipes, cookie plates, and craft swaps become more than things; they become carriers of memory and belonging. We also name the hard parts: control, isolation, and the fawn response that can make celebrations feel unsafe. Healing begins with safety, capacity, and one brave yes at a time—and we model how to create that with clear boundaries, small experiments, and support.

In this episode, we explore:

• Balancing giving and receiving during the holiday season
• Gratitude as a doorway to safe connection
• Redefining holiday meaning through sensation and values
• Homemade gifts, craft swaps, and cookie exchanges
• Healing past harm and the fawn response around holidays
• Nostalgia as medicine and micro-traditions that stick
• At the 35 minute mark, we offer a distance Reiki blast as a gift to you! 

For our Reiki blast, we invite you to breathe, feel your feet, and let the current alchemize what’s heavy.  Then, integrate with a simple journal prompt: Which joyful memories want to return as living rituals this season? By the end, you’ll leave with practical ways to give from center, receive without guilt, and design micro-traditions—craft exchanges, cookie trades, communal meals—that make the holidays yours again.

If this conversation nourished you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a softer season, and leave a review to help more listeners find us. Your stories shape this community—what small yes will you choose next?

If you'd like to treat yourself to a Shamanic Reiki session this season, Christine is offering 90 minutes sessions for $100 (normally $250) if you mention this episode - let's get through the holiday season together!

What if pain isn’t a problem to erase but a message asking to be heard? We sit down with medical intuitive and psychic medium Lauren Sietzema to explore how chronic pain, trauma, and nervous system patterns can transform when we choose integration over fixing. Lauren shares her journey through fibromyalgia, the moment exquisite pain became a gateway, and the practices that helped her reclaim sovereignty without abandoning sensitivity.

In this episode, we’ll explore: 

• Moving from fibromyalgia to self-sourced sovereignty
• Integration of shadow and light 
• The Venn diagram as a way to interpret partnership overlap and the creation of a third thing
• Boundaries over people-pleasing for nervous system safety
• Ethics in psychic work and informed autonomy
• Structured intuitive training and safe foundations
• Empaths on equal footing with self-compassion
• Neurodivergence, sensitivity, and grounded practice

Together we unpack the yin and yang of healing: light without shadow is stasis; shadow without light is collapse. When they hold hands, movement happens. We talk practical mechanics—the nervous system as messenger, beliefs as signals, and why attention can amplify or ease symptoms. We also get real about boundaries, people-pleasing, and the cultural habit of separation that keeps so many empaths stuck. Lauren offers a clear path for ethical intuitive development: start with the body, add emotional literacy, examine thought patterns, and stabilize beliefs before reaching for high-voltage spiritual states.

Then we move into discussion on relationships that become the catalyst. Two whole people can meet in an overlap that creates a “third thing”—a shared field where growth accelerates without self-abandonment. We discuss how to protect that space, spot projections, and honor autonomy so healing doesn’t turn into dependency. If you’re neurodivergent or highly sensitive, you’ll find grounded practices that respect both science and spirit, bridging somatics with intuition in a way that’s safe, ethical, and sustainable.

Come for the insights on chronic pain and medical intuition; stay for the blueprint on sovereignty, ethics, and community. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review telling us one boundary you’re ready to honor this week. Your voice helps others find the courage to integrate, not separate.

As Fall season arrives, it is time to lean into Bear Medicine—hibernation, nourishment, and quiet, embodied power—to map a practical path for this liminal time between fall and winter. From soup and soft pajamas to breathwork and silent integration, we explore why slowing down isn’t avoidance; it’s intelligent design. Rest becomes the ritual that metabolizes emotion, integrates spiritual upgrades, and prepares you for a spring that arrives through you, not to you.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Seasonal shift toward introspection and hibernation
• Weather discord and the body’s energetic pull inward
• Fall gardening as metaphor for composting and release
• Community needs for quiet, soft gatherings, and integration
• Discerning yes and no to prevent burnout
• Calling in guides and protection for shadow work
• •Writing and creative projects suited to winter’s pace

We talk about composting as a way of life: clearing gardens and closets, retiring spent talismans, and returning used-up tools to the soil. Shadow work takes a seat at the table, but fear doesn’t lead. Call in your heavy lifters—guides, ancestors, archangels—so your container is strong enough for what rises. We differentiate battling inner demons from tending shadow with care, and we offer simple practices that turn integration into a daily rhythm: protected space, timed silence after breathwork or sound bath, and living altars that actually live.

There’s also a candid look at burnout and boundaries during the holidays. Not every invitation deserves a yes; your den needs you more than your calendar does. We share why leaving space invites inspiration, how to spot a real yes in your body, and why winter is ideal for deeper writing, curriculum building, and intimate creative work. No five-step enlightenment here—just grounded tools, personal pacing, and the courage to meet the season as it is. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs permission to rest, and leave a review to help others find their way to Bear’s quiet wisdom. What small yes will you give yourself today?

Pleasure feels different when it’s allowed to rise from root to crown. We take you inside sacred sexuality through a clear, no-dogma tour of the seven chakras and show how breath, sound, and movement unlock whole-body arousal, deeper consent, and a more creative, connected sex life. Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald share personal stories from years of Reiki, chakra facilitation, and tantra training, then map sacred sexuality across the body’s energy centers: root safety, sacral sensuality, solar plexus confidence and boundaries, heart connection, throat honesty and listening, third eye perception and imagination, and crown-level awareness and oneness.

Along the way, we explore the “inner flute” (shushumna nadi) for moving energy through the body, and why tears or resistance can be signs of energetic release rather than failure.

In this episode we explore:

• Defining chakras without dogma and why multiple models exist
• Root safety and sacral sensuality as the base of desire
• Solar plexus confidence and boundaries shaping consent
• Heart connection, reciprocity and living life fully
• Throat honesty, listening and sound as energy movers
• Third eye perception, imagination and spontaneous flow
• Crown awareness, oneness and whole-body ecstasy
• Inner flute energy channel
• Breath, sound and movement as tantric keys
• Solo versus partnered practice and honoring your no
• Masterclass structure, bonuses and office hours

What if six simple breaths could flip your system from scattered to centered and prime your body for real energetic change? Christine Renee explores how intentional breathing supports Shamanic Reiki—from using the exhale to help clients release stagnant energy to a full microcosmic orbit practice that “power washes” your chakras with focus and care. 

She then maps the microcosmic orbit: inhale up the back, exhale down the front, visualize a Reiki energy ball tracing the loop, and add gentle locks at the palate and root to concentrate flow. Layer in earth energy from below and source from above, and the circuit becomes a steady river rather than a trickle. Then bring in Tantra’s three keys—breath, movement, and sound—to soften rigid form into living practice. Undulate the spine to recruit the fascia, voice the exhale to free the throat, and let intention lead. Whether you’re working solo, with a client, or with a partner, this approach meets you where you are and moves what’s ready to move.

In this episode, we explore:

• Six-breath centering for release and tuning

• Matching breath with clients to invite participation

• Throat center as primary exit pathway

• Case study of hip pain and emotional release

• Microcosmic orbit explained with energy ball focus

• Adding movement and sound to deepen flow

• Transitioning from structured form to fluid tantra

• Masterclass details and free webinar invitation

Imagine opening a conversation about sex that begins with safety, truth, and reverence. We invited our community into a live, guided experience of sacred space and the three keys of Tantra—breath, sound, and movement—to show how everyday intimacy can become a powerful energy practice. No jargon, no shock value, just clear tools you can try right away to feel more alive, connected, and grounded.

In this episode, we explore:

• Redefining tantra as experiential energy work
• Why sacred space creates feelings of security
• The sacred bubble ritual and heart salutation
• Desires, fears, boundaries and consent language
• Taoist breath loop for grounding and release
• Adding sound to free expression and move energy
• Adding movement to integrate root-to-crown flow
• Noticing states, regulating intensity, and integration
• Masterclass format, access, and expectations

We start by reframing Tantra as experiential: a path of expanding aliveness by integrating two inner qualities—steady presence and dynamic flow. From there, we build a sacred container. You’ll hear the language we use for desires, fears, and boundaries and how a simple “sacred bubble” ritual shifts the room from casual to consecrated. Then we move into practice. First, a Taoist breath loop that inhales up the back and exhales down the front to rinse the system and settle the mind. Next, we add sound to liberate expression and clear the throat center. Finally, we invite movement—spirals, undulations, subtle sways—to bridge sexual root and spiritual crown.

Throughout, we share what to notice: tingling hands, jaw tension, a wave of grief, or a bright, quiet calm. The aim isn’t to force fireworks; it’s to build capacity. With breath, sound, and movement working together, energy moves, emotions integrate, and intimacy feels safer and more honest. We also outline our five-week Intro to Tantra masterclass: one week each for sacred space, breath, sound, and movement, plus a full Q&A. It’s fully clothed, consent-forward, and designed for solo or partnered practice.

If you’re curious about turning connection into a spiritual practice without leaving your values at the door, this conversation is your on-ramp. Listen, follow the guided segments, and notice what shifts. If it resonates, subscribe, share with someone you trust, and leave a review telling us which key—breath, sound, or movement—opened the most for you.

What if spiritual practice didn’t pull you out of your body—but brought you deeper into it? After a month of eclipses, team changes, and heartfelt goodbyes, Christine turned to Tantra not as dogma, but as a grounded, embodied way to meet life. With guest (and her beloved) Jim Macdonald, they unpack what Tantra means to them: a practice of self-love that integrates sexual energy with spirit through the simple, potent tools of breath, movement, and sound.

We start by clearing the fog around Tantra. Forget the hype and the rigid scripts—this approach welcomes solo practitioners and couples alike. Jim shares the SkyDancing Institute's lineage of neo-tantra, where the focus is raising energy from root to crown for expanded awareness and everyday ecstasy. Christine bridges Tantra with her Shamanic Reiki background, showing how energy work becomes more alive when you let the body move, the breath deepen, and the voice open. 

In today's episode, we'll cover: 

• Reframing spiritual practice as embodiment, not escape
• Demystifying and de-hyping Tantra
• 3 Keys of Tantra: breath, movement, and sound
• Accessibility for solo practitioners and couples
• Christine’s fusion of Tantra with Shamanic Reiki
• Mythic archetypes: Shiva/Shakti, Isis/Osiris
• Inner union of steadiness and fluidity
• Emphasis on safety, consent, and boundaries
• Letting go of goals to reduce performance pressure
• Sacred communication for healing intimacy

A clean ending can be the most powerful kind of beginning. In this deeply moving episode, the Moon Rising team gathers in ceremony to honor Isabel’s transition from her leadership role—celebrating the gratitude, the transformation, and the golden curiosity for what’s next. This is an intimate glimpse into how a spiritual community navigates real change with honesty, ritual, and reverence.

Together, Christine, Shantel, and Isabel trace the story of Moon Rising’s creation, the intuitive callings that shaped its evolution, and Isabel's trust in what her intuition is calling her to do next.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to end a chapter with integrity, gratitude, and clarity

• Reclaiming your energy and trusting divine timing
• How to release what no longer serves while blessing what remains
• Reflecting on our time together as your Moon Rising Team
• A ceremony and card reading to celebrate the transition
• A final circle closing!

Sometimes a quiet nudge changes everything. In this heartfelt episode, Isabel shares her decision to step away from her leadership role at Moon Rising and follow the intuitive call toward a new vision — Gateway House of Healing.

Joined by Shantel, we open an honest conversation about what it means to trust your intuition, honor change before things “get bad,” and move through transitions with grace and alignment.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Choosing alignment before crisis
• Listening when your intuition whispers “it’s time” (and taking the leap)
• Letting your nervous system guide sustainable change
• Fear as a threshold, not a stop sign
• Isabel's five-year-old vision resurfacing through a Shamanic quest
• Integrating shamanism, psychology, and somatics for lasting transformation
• The magic of synchronicity (including a long-lost ring that reappears 💍)
• Signs that your alignment is returning
• Gratitude for Moon Rising and what's next for Isabel

If you’re standing at a crossroads or sensing your own shift, this episode offers permission to trust your intuition and a grounded map to move forward: Regulate first, listen deeply, and act from your values.

✨ What if your hardest relationships are actually teachers, and your recurring triggers are maps guiding you toward healing? In this episode, we explore how Soul Contracts and Spiritual Archetypes form a living framework for meaning, growth, and purpose.

From the four universal shadow archetypes—the victim, saboteur, prostitute, and child—to their light expressions as warrior, magician, lover, and sovereign child, you’ll learn how to recognize and alchemize patterns without bypassing the hard stuff. 

You’ll discover:
🌙 Why archetypes are so powerful—they’re vivid, fast, and collective (everyone knows what “queen” or “victim” means)
🌙 How to shift from blame to accountability in seconds using archetypal awareness
🌙 The 12 houses of archetypes and where patterns show up—home, career, relationships, spirituality
🌙 How practitioners can use archetypes to speed up client intakes, reduce counter-transference, and hold a clean, compassionate healing field

Christine and Shantel share candid stories from their own spiritual trenches, including surprising spirit-guide dynamics and upper-world resistance, and how those challenges built unshakable confidence for client work that others might find “too heavy.”

We also dive into the bigger picture—how to be a sacred witness in a chaotic world, stay engaged without being consumed, and recognize when antagonists are actually pushing you toward sovereignty.

What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding aren’t broken—but the very key to your healing? In this transformative episode on shadow work and self-healing, Christine Renee and Shantel Ochoa reveal why shadow work isn’t about battling your “dark side,” but instead learning to love, accept, and integrate the hidden aspects of yourself.

Christine shares a vulnerable story about her own shadow activation around body image, showing how most shadows form before age eight as protective mechanisms. From there, you’ll be guided through a powerful 5-step shadow work process designed to help you heal and integrate your shadows:

✨ Recognize triggers with self-awareness
✨ Meet patterns with curiosity instead of judgment
✨ Practice radical self-acceptance with accountability
✨ Alchemize old beliefs into new possibilities
✨ Integrate through conscious routines and emotional regulation

You’ll also learn how shadows commonly show up in everyday life—through grief, addictions, people-pleasing, escapism, or emotional reactivity—and how compassion can transform them from destructive cycles into sources of wisdom and strength.

If you’ve been curious about shadow work, trauma healing, or spiritual awakening, this episode reframes shadow work as a path to wholeness, resilience, and emotional freedom. You’ll walk away with practical tools and spiritual insight to support your healing journey and reclaim the energy that has been trapped in old patterns.

Whether you’re new to shadow work or seeking deeper integration, this conversation will help you move beyond self-sabotage and step into a life rooted in authenticity, self-love, and inner power.

What if your inner child healing journey could be filled with joy, creativity, and magic—rather than only revisiting trauma? 🌿 In this powerful episode, shamanic Reiki practitioners Christine Rene and Isabel Wells share a groundbreaking approach to inner child work that blends deep emotional healing with wonder, play, and soul connection.

You’ll discover:

 ✨ Why embracing imperfection is the secret to inner child liberation

What if the stories you tell yourself are the very chains keeping you stuck? In this powerful episode, Christine and Isabel explore how past trauma shapes your identity, limits your potential, and disconnects you from your intuition — and how you can finally break free.

From a Shamanic perspective, your life is created by the stories you carry. When those stories are rooted in wounds, they act like invisible “hooks,” pulling you back into old patterns of fear, self-sabotage, and limitation. Even your healing journey can become a trap if it reinforces the belief that you’re still broken.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
🌿 How trauma creates limiting beliefs and energetic attachments
🌿 Why your mind can only project the past into the future — and how to break the cycle
🌿 The difference between wounds and scars (and how to fully integrate your healing)
🌿 Shamanic techniques for rewriting your story and reconnecting with your soul’s truth
🌿 Practical tools for future forecasting and stepping into your highest self

If you’ve been feeling stuck, replaying the same patterns, or wondering why your healing hasn’t “worked” yet — this conversation will help you shift from wounded identity to empowered being.

What if the beliefs holding you back aren’t “you” at all—but subconscious programs written before you turned 10? In this powerful episode, Isabel Wells unpacks how limiting beliefs shape your reality, block your intuition, and keep you repeating the same patterns no matter how hard you try to change.

✨ This episode is a replay of our live Soul Rising webinar on limiting beliefs—a powerful class that had participants experiencing breakthroughs in real time. Now, you can access it here on the podcast.

In this episode, Isabel shares her three-stage process for subconscious renovation—awareness, disassembly, and restoration. This missing step of restoration is what makes lasting change possible, rewiring your nervous system and opening your intuitive pathways.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
🌿 Why your subconscious forms the way it does
🌿 The three stages of healing limiting beliefs
🌿 How to rewire your nervous system by shifting your beliefs
🌿 Why emotional triggers are signposts, not failures
🌿 How restoration creates lasting transformation

You’ll also learn how to view emotional triggers not as setbacks, but as signposts guiding you to your next breakthrough.

This isn’t just theory—this is a practical, shamanic framework for healing and reconnecting with your intuition.

If you’re ready to release limiting beliefs, reconnect with your intuition, and step fully into your spiritual power, this episode is your starting point.

We’ve all heard the mantras: “Raise your vibration.” “Think positive.” “Manifest your dream life.” But what if these well-meaning ideas are keeping you stuck?

In this raw and transformative episode, Christine Renee and Shantel Ochoa take you beyond surface-level spirituality and deep into shadow work—where real healing, embodiment, and manifestation begin.

Together, they unravel how the mainstream Law of Attraction movement often skips the necessary step of shadow integration—leading to spiritual bypassing, guilt, and frustration when "high vibes" fall short. Rooted in their own experiences and insights from Shamanic practices, they explore the truth: that your anger, grief, fear, and shame aren’t blocks—they're portals.

🌀 What you’ll discover in this episode:

• Why the Law of Attraction often fails without shadow work
• How toxic positivity leads to spiritual bypassing
• Shamanic perspectives on integrating the “shadow” self
• How your shadow holds the key to authentic manifestation
• The alchemy of turning pain into power
• Stories of spiritual awakening that began in the dark
• Conscious parenting & ancestral healing as spiritual pathways
• Creating relationships that witness, not judge, your wholeness

If you’ve been doing all the “right” spiritual things and still feel disconnected, this episode is a wake-up call—and an invitation to go deeper.

✨ It’s time to stop bypassing your truth and start walking the real path of transformation. Press play now, and remember to subscribe, share, and leave a review if this resonates.

Psychedelics and plant medicine have become increasingly intertwined with modern spiritual practices, but are these substances truly necessary for profound spiritual experiences? This question sits at the heart of our candid conversation about the relationship between Shamanism, plant medicine, and psychedelics.

The conversation delves into the long-term integration process of psychedelic experiences, contrasting it with conscious shamanic methods that engage both mind and spirit in real time. Using the metaphor of an escalator versus stairs, we emphasize that while both paths can lead to transformation, shamanic techniques—like breathwork and meditation—build inner strength without giving power away to external tools.

Along the way, we discuss:

• The relationship between psychedelics, plant medicine, and spirituality
• Questioning the necessity of substances for spiritual experiences
• Our unique perspectives and experiences with psychedelics
• the difference between plant medicine and psychedelics
• Risks of giving spiritual power away to substances
• The importance of integration after psychedelic experiences
• The stairs vs. escalator metaphor for spiritual growth
• The role of your subconscious mind in the use of psychedelics
• Empowerment through conscious Shamanic techniques
• And so much more!

The Moon Rising team brings diverse perspectives to this nuanced topic, challenging the assumption that psychedelics are necessary for spiritual growth.

Ready to expand and heal without the use of psychedelics? Our Soul Rising Shamanic Reiki program is now open for enrollment! Early Bird price ends August 31st.

What if your spiritual path was never meant to follow someone else’s map?

In this illuminating episode, Christine Renee, Isabel Wells, and Chantelle Ochoa explore how shamanism provides a powerful foundation for authentic spiritual growth—precisely because it's rooted in direct experience, not dogma.

Together, they challenge spiritual hierarchies and the belief that healing means fixing what’s broken. Instead, they invite you to remember that beneath the layers of trauma and conditioning, your true self is already whole. Through personal stories and deep insights, they share how shamanic practices help peel away the “sticky notes” of limiting beliefs to reveal the essence of who you’ve always been.

In this episode, we explore:

• Shamanism as a path of direct, embodied spiritual experience
• Why authenticity may be an even higher vibration than love
• Embracing both joy and pain as sacred parts of the human journey
• Unique expressions of shamanism—from neuroscience to journeywork to nature wisdom
• The myth of spiritual “perfection” and the invitation to be fully human
• How healing is less about fixing, and more about remembering
• Releasing limiting beliefs and outdated identities
• Trusting your intuition as a compass on your unique spiritual path
• Letting go of comparison and embracing your enough-ness
• Shamanism as a way to reconnect with your original essence

If you’ve ever felt out of place on your spiritual journey, this conversation is a liberating reminder that your path is sacred—just as it is. Tune in and rediscover the power of walking your truth.

Sandra Ingerman, world-renowned shamanic teacher and author, joins us for a powerful conversation about how to break free from illusion, heal soul fragmentation, and walk through darkness to reclaim joy. Drawing on over 40 years of shamanic practice, Sandra shares how the cycles of suffering we face today are echoes of the past—and how reclaiming our soul energy is the key to breaking those patterns.

In a world where our energy is scattered across hundreds of expectations, roles, platforms, and global crises, Sandra offers grounded practices for calling our Soul home, reconnecting with our true self, and rediscovering joy. She reframes darkness not as something to fear, but as a sacred initiation that reveals our deepest spiritual strength.

If you're navigating spiritual burnout, emotional overwhelm, or simply longing to feel whole again, this episode will reconnect you to what matters most—and remind you that you have the power to shift your reality.

Along the way, we discuss:

• The illusion of life and how to break free
• How collective struggles are repeating historical patterns
• Life as a cosmic play: masks, roles, and lessons
• How to break free from limiting identities and stories
• A dream that transformed Sandra’s view of suffering
• The energetic cost of absorbing global suffering through media
• Practices for calling your energy and soul parts back home
• Why following your unique path supports collective healing
• Darkness as a necessary spiritual initiation—not something to fear
• Grounded practices for restoring personal wholeness
• If clairvoyance is necessary for shamanic or spiritual work
• A powerful tool to instantly connect with your intuition
• And so much more!

Sacred ground has a way of speaking directly to our souls and opening us up to magical experiences. In this episode, Christine, Isabel, and Shantel all gather together to reflect on the magic that was created in the first Moon Rising Shamanic Reiki Retreat.

Our first Shamanic Reiki retreat together revealed profound truths about ceremonial living, feminine connection, and the power of intentional containers. From inviting participants to find their personal trees as energetic allies, to experiencing a traditional Lakota sweat lodge that sparked incredible vulnerability, we witnessed what happens when women are given permission to simply be themselves in sacred space.

From powerful vulnerability to transformative Shamanic work, this retreat exceeded our expectations- and today we're sharing our top takeaways. In this episode, we cover:

• Connecting to the sacred land in Clancy, Montana
• The ceremonies and intentions we set for the retreat
• Ceremonial living and spiritual surrender
• Awakening feminine connection and empowerment
• Finding personal tree allies and nature as spiritual guides
• Our experience with a traditional Lakota sweat lodge ceremony
• the synchronicity and flow that guided the retreat
• Support from the natural world (hummingbirds, butterflies, hawks, elk)
• The power of showing up exactly as we are
• Moments of powerful growth and expansion
• Our top takeaway and experiences over the weekend
• The power of energetic alignment and sacred living
• And more!

This conversation reminds us that we can live a life where every moment is ceremony, every tree is an ally, and your divine nature can fully express itself.

What would happen if we broke the rules, reconnected with our true selves, and lived life on our own magical, divine terms? This is the question Christine and Isabel explore in this soul-stirring conversation about reclaiming our wildness and living authentically.

We dive deep into society's expectations that force us to fragment ourselves – showing only certain parts in certain spaces – and how this disconnection creates profound suffering. From having to take "hidden" nervous system regulation breaks at work to feeling we must mask our emotions to be accepted, we've all experienced the pressure to shrink ourselves to fit into boxes we never chose.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect to the wild within. Along the way, we explore:

• Reconnecting with your true self and living authentically
• Breaking societal rules and reclaiming personal wildness
• The impact of societal expectations on self-fragmentation and suffering
• Hiding emotional and nervous system needs to fit into social norms
• Reframing divine feminine and sacred masculine energies as universal, complementary forces
• Embracing full emotional expression, including the shadow self
• Personal stories of defying expectations and embracing vulnerability
• Small acts of self-expression as revolutionary change
• Reprogramming the mind to believe in the possibility of living freely

The sacred isn't about perfection or following spiritual rules – it's about stripping away societal conditioning to reconnect with our authentic essence. In this soul-stirring conversation, Christine and Isabel dive deep into what it truly means to reclaim the sacred within ourselves and our lives.

 As Christine beautifully puts it, "The sacred is spiritual essence. Everyone has their own spiritual essence and divinity within them already." This conversation explores how we can reclaim our sacred self, sharing deeply personal insights about reconnecting with our authentic nature and regulating our nervous systems for true healing.

Along the way, we discuss:

• The liberating power of making noise and expressing emotion
• Crying as a sacred form of self-expression
• Our definitions of 'sacred'
• Why soul calls us to move beyond rules and perfectionism
• Nervous system regulation through sound, movement, and emotion
• Societal conditioning around emotional self-expression
• Emotions as weather patterns
• The harm of self-fragmentation and the call for integration
• Dissociation vs. embodiment
• And so much more!

Ready to stop fragmenting yourself and invite every aspect of you to the table? Listen now!

You've felt it—that moment when you realize you've been pouring from an empty cup for so long that your body is screaming for rest. In this deeply personal episode, Isabel opens up about hitting her breaking point after months of overwork, sharing the raw truth of what happens when we prioritize productivity over presence.

This isn't just another conversation about self-care—it's a radical exploration of how our nervous systems hold the key to authentic spiritual connection and how societal programming keeps us trapped in cycles of depletion.

Through her research into polyvagal theory and the concept of "human givers versus human beings," Isabel offers a revolutionary perspective on burnout, particularly how it manifests differently in those socialized with feminine energy. She and Christine delve into what it truly means to balance masculine and feminine energies (hint: it's not about being 50/50, but finding your unique harmony), how to recognize when your nervous system is dysregulated, and practical ways to come back into balance without abandoning yourself.

Along the way, they cover:

• The cost of prioritizing productivity over presence
• Emotional and physical signs of depletion
• Radical self-care and nervous system healing
• Polyvagal theory and its role in burnout recovery
• Human givers vs. human beings
• Impact of societal conditioning on our feminine energy
• Harmonizing masculine and feminine energies (it's not a 50/50 split)
• Practical tools for nervous system regulation and self-reconnection
• Healing as uncovering your true nature, not fixing yourself
• Reclaiming intuition, creativity, and purpose
• And more!

Whether you're currently in burnout, recovering from it, or hoping to avoid it altogether, this conversation offers both wisdom and practical tools to help you reclaim your sacred self. Because revolution doesn't always look like fighting external battles—sometimes it looks like coming home to yourself and remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

As the summer solstice illuminates our longest days, Christine Renee and Shantel Ochoa share an intimate, unscripted conversation about finding light during challenging times. The pair explore the revolutionary power of joy as a response to global difficulties. "We are not meant to match fear with fear," Shantel reflects, suggesting that our most powerful contribution might be cultivating our own inner light. Christine builds on this, describing her vision of personal revolution through radical self-healing and authentic expression.

One particularly fascinating thread explores how we might transform our relationship with our senses. Drawing from her Tantra experience, Christine challenges traditional Buddhist views that our senses lead to suffering: "What if the senses were a pathway to your bliss?" This perspective shift opens exciting possibilities for experiencing ecstasy through breathwork, movement, and sound—techniques that both hosts incorporate into their Shamanic Reiki practices.

In today's episode, we cover: 

• Joy as a revolutionary response to global fear
• Inner light as a personal contribution to the world
• Connection to nature (e.g., waterfalls, barefoot grounding)
• Simple spiritual practices (e.g., thunder water, herb gardens)
• Senses as pathways to bliss vs. suffering
• Tantra techniques for ecstasy: breathwork, movement, sound
• Emphasis on individual paths over rigid spiritual models
• Encouragement of consistent small practices for big shifts
• Soul Rising program and spiritual self-discovery

Ready to awaken to the whispers of wisdom rising from within? Join our community to explore how small, consistent practices can create profound shifts in your experience. Subscribe now for more conversations that blend practical spirituality with deep wisdom.

What happens when sacred energy meets sexuality? In today's episode, Christine shares about one of her passion topics as she unpacks the ethical boundaries of Reiki practice while exploring its untapped potential for sexual healing and pleasure. Note: This episode comes with a trigger warning for sexuality and sexual assault.

In this conversation, Christine opens a door many practitioners keep firmly shut: the beautiful potential when Reiki and sexuality connect in consensual, equal-power relationships. 

Through her passionate advocacy for ethical practice, she creates a clear contrast between what's appropriate in professional settings versus intimate relationships. She invites listeners to consider how energy work can enhance sensual experiences, especially when beginning with self-pleasure practices. 

She also explores:

• The intersection of sacred energy and sexuality
• Ethical boundaries in Reiki practice
• The importance of consent and power dynamics
• Differentiating professional vs. intimate energy work
• Potential of Reiki in consensual, intimate relationships
• Use of energy work to enhance sensuality and self-pleasure
• Awakening to your Inner Lover
• Christine’s personal healing from sexual trauma
• Developing healthy boundaries and inner balance
• Role of self-love and conscious sexuality in healing
• And more!

Whether you're recovering from sexual trauma, exploring energy work, or simply curious about conscious sexuality, Christine offers practical wisdom about self-knowledge, boundary-setting, and the revolutionary power of radical self-love.

Dive into the profound world of Reiki Fusion with Christine and Shantel as they explore the balance between Masculine and Feminine energies in our Reiki practice. The conversation illuminates how Reiki itself embodies both energies—its essence is inherently feminine, flowing like water, while its teaching structure provides the masculine container that allows it to be shared and practiced systematically.

Yet many practitioners struggle with finding balance, either clinging to rigid protocols or abandoning structure entirely for intuitive flow. Christine invites us to consider: What if the hand positions and symbols we've been taught are simply "training wheels" until we learn to dance with the energy authentically?

This exploration extends beyond Reiki technique into how we live our daily lives. Along the way, we cover:

• The inspiring story behind the term Reiki fusion
• Why balancing feminine flow and masculine structure can deepen your energy work
• A powerful insight Christine received on Mount Kurama—where Reiki began
• How Reiki naturally blends intuition and structure (and why that matters)
• Common struggles practitioners face in their practice
• Reframing hand positions and symbols as "training wheels"
• How this energy balance plays out in everyday life—especially for women
• Simple ways to return to center when you're feeling out of sync
• A look into Christine’s upcoming Reiki Master Teacher Training (East meets West)
• How to find your unique, authentic Reiki path
• And more!

There's no single "correct" way to practice Reiki—what matters is finding your authentic balance between structure and flow, tradition and intuition, boundaries and receptivity. Ready to dive in? Listen now!

The sacred tree has fallen, but the wellspring flows on. Could this be nature's message about the future of Reiki?

When Christine returned to Mount Kurama in Japan for her second pilgrimage, she wasn't expecting to witness a profound metaphor about energy practices worldwide. Standing at the birthplace of Reiki, Christine observed how a precise typhoon had taken down only the sacred masculine symbol—a centuries-old Kami tree—while leaving the companion feminine symbol—an ever-flowing spring—completely untouched.

Christine's insights illuminate a potential evolution in Reiki practice—what she calls "Reiki Fusion"—honoring the traditional structure while embracing intuitive flow. Her journey challenges us to reconsider whether our spiritual practices have overemphasized masculine energy (structure, hierarchy, perfection) while neglecting the feminine (intuition, inner wisdom, natural flow). 

In today's episode, we cover:

• The highlights of Christine's Pilgrimage to the birthplace of Reiki
• How the Buddhist roots of Reiki transformed Christine's perspective
• Exploring spiritual balance between structure and flow
• Comparing this trip to Christine's first pilgrimage
• Contrast between mainland Japan temples and Okinawan forests
•  The stark contrast between masculine and feminine energies
• Why we need to embrace our intuition and inner wisdom
• Personal transformation through nature and travel
• Fall of the sacred tree on Mount Kurama as a metaphor for energy shifts
• Call to balance tradition with authentic self-expression

Ready to discover what happens when we honor both the structure and the flow in our Reiki practice? Listen now!

What if everything you thought you knew about Reiki was just scratching the surface? In this eye-opening conversation, Isabel and Shantel explore the profound spiritual threshold that Reiki represents—far beyond its common reputation as simply a healing modality.

Drawing from their extensive experience as practitioners and teachers, they challenge the widespread misconception that Reiki is a separate healing energy that can be turned on and off. Instead, they reveal its true nature as the universal life force energy that constitutes everything in existence. This fundamental shift in perspective explains why so many spiritual seekers report Reiki as their first meaningful catalyst for deeper awakening.

In this episode, we explore:

🌕 What 'Universal Life Force' really means
🌖 Reiki as more than a healing energy
🌗 Reiki as a catalyst for spiritual awakening
🌘 The original roots of Reiki in Japanese Buddhism
🌑 How Reiki supports trauma healing without re-triggering
🌒 Developing soul-level discernment through Reiki practice
🌓 Understanding the difference between ego and soul guidance
🌔 Viewing Reiki as a relationship, not just a technique
🌕 Insights for both beginners and advanced Reiki practitioners
🌖 And more!

What if the way we talk about our spiritual journey is keeping us stuck? For years, we've embraced the concept of healing—diligently working to release trauma, overcome limiting beliefs, and fix what's supposedly broken within us. But there's a subtle, disempowering message hidden in that language.

Today, we're proposing a radical shift from healing to alignment. When we constantly frame our experience as a healing journey, we unconsciously reinforce the belief that we're broken and one day we'll be fixed. This perspective puts our worthiness perpetually in the future—we'll be enough when we're finally healed. 

Alignment acknowledges that you are already whole. You're not broken—you're simply experiencing the natural fluctuations of being human. Instead of trying to fix what's wrong, alignment focuses on reconnecting with your true self, with Source, with the natural flow of life in each present moment.

In this episode, we cover:

• How healing language can reinforce a sense of brokenness
• Why chasing healing can leave us feeling unworthy
• The shift from a healing mindset to one of alignment
• How to start embracing wholeness in the present
• The power of reconnecting with your true self
• The transformative nature of liminal, in-between spaces
• How presence opens you to unexpected possibilities
• A 30-minute practice to anchor into now
• Recognizing worthiness as your natural state
• Healing vs. alignment
• And more!

Ready to explore this paradigm shift? Start listening now! Your wholeness is waiting to be recognized, not created.

What if the most powerful psychic protection doesn't come from the crystals we carry, but from how they help us transform our own energy?

Nicholas Pearson returns to Wisdom Rising with profound insights on psychic self-defense that bridge science and spirituality. With his background in geology and decades of crystal wisdom, Nicholas reveals how minerals serve as catalysts rather than crutches in our spiritual practice. "Crystals aren't a substitute for doing the work," he explains, "they just make the work easier."

This conversation takes us beyond superficial crystal practices to explore what truly creates energetic resilience. Nicholas shares how a crystal's internal order and coherence can help us embody those same qualities, making our energy "resonate more loudly than harm." Along the way, we discuss:

• Staying grounded during chaos
• Multi-crystal banishing ritual (emerald, sapphire, ruby, quartz, diamond)
• Building "energetic muscle memory" through practice
• Protection as ongoing process, not one-time act
• Importance of wonder and excitement in practice
• Blending tradition with innovation
• Guidance for all levels of crystal practitioners
• Exploration of Nicholas' new book, 'Crystals for Psychic Self-Defense'

Throughout our discussion, Nicholas emphasizes maintaining a sense of wonder in our practice. "Find what excites you," he advises, "because that spark of excitement is the raw fuel that will take you further than any instructions in a book." His approach honors traditional wisdom while encouraging innovation for today's unique challenges.

Whether you're new to crystal work or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers invaluable guidance for anyone seeking greater energetic sovereignty in an increasingly complex world.

Ever wondered why that persistent self sabotaging pattern or recurring health issue won't go away despite your best efforts? The answer might lie in understanding your body's hidden language - the Chakra system - which serves as the missing link between your physical symptoms and emotional patterns.

In this illuminating episode, Isabel Wells shares her expertise on multidimensional healing through the chakras, revealing how these energy centers are far more than colorful energy centers along our spine.

This episode reveals how our psychology, neurology, and energy interact to form the blueprint for our overall health and wellbeing. Working through the lens of the Chakras, we will explore the seven levels of our being and discover their emotional, energetic, and physical signs of imbalance and dis-ease, while discovering ways to use Reiki and other energy healing modalities to restore balance and facilitate healing.

The spiritual community has long favored third eye activation and crown chakra work, but we believe true energetic healing begins from the ground up. In this packed and inspiring episode, Christine and Shantel share their personal favorite techniques for activating and balancing each Chakra, revealing how our current collective consciousness is shifting toward deeper, more embodied spiritual work.

Along the way, they cover:

• Our connection to earth, sensuality, and authentic expression.
• Practical ways to strengthen and release societal conditioning.
• Gardening and dancing to reconnect with the body.
• Practical tips to set healthy boundaries.
• How to open to compassion.
• The power of speaking from your true self.
• How activating your joy and authenticity encourages others to do the same.
• How our Chakras impact every aspect of our lives
• Why activating our Chakras leads to energetic protection
• And so much more!

Whether you're new to energy work or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers fresh perspectives on how chakra activation can transform not just your spiritual practice but your everyday life.
