Break Relationship Patterns by Rewiring Your Subconscious with Elena Yudakova

What if the patterns you keep repeating in your relationships aren't just habits, but emotional echoes from a time you can't consciously remember? In this episode, Huenu sits down with Elena Yudakova, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and someone who walked away from a legal career in Russia to follow a deeper calling in Cape Town. They explore what it means to rewire the subconscious, why logic alone can't free us from fear, and how real change often begins not when we're trying to fix anything, but when we're finally ready to feel. This conversation is for anyone who keeps attracting the same type of person, anyone whose emotional reactions feel far bigger than the moment itself, and anyone who suspects that the answer they've been searching for isn't in another book. It's already inside them. 💜 CONNECT WITH ELENA YUDAKOVA: https://orykl.com/practitioners/elena-yudakova [https://orykl.com/practitioners/elena-yudakova] 🎁 JOIN ELENA'S 33-DAY CHALLENGE: Download your free tracking sheet - https://orykl.com/podcast#challenge [https://orykl.com/podcast#challenge] 📌 KEY TOPICS: 1.

What Grief Teaches Us About Healing and Love with Terri-Ann Russell

In this episode, spiritual practitioner Terri-Ann Russell shares one of the most honest accounts of grief, healing, and connection we've had on this podcast. Her journey began when her daughter was born with a life-threatening condition that traditional medicine couldn't resolve , and Reiki did. But years later, she faced something no healing practice could prepare her for: the sudden loss of her 27-year-old son Anthony. What followed was a profound spiritual awakening, a book Anthony asked her to write, and a deepened understanding that love and connection don't end with death. 💜 CONNECT WITH TERRI-ANN RUSSELL: https://orykl.com/practitioners/terri-ann-russell 🎁 JOIN TERRI-ANN'S 33-DAY CHALLENGE: Download your free tracking sheet - https://orykl.com/podcast#challenge 📌 KEY TOPICS: • How Reiki healed her daughter when traditional medicine couldn't • The sudden loss of her son Anthony and what followed • Feeling and hearing her son immediately after his passing • Why we doubt our own spiritual experiences — and how to stop • Connecting with loved ones who have passed: signs, dreams, and presence • The morning heart-breath practice for daily inner alignment • Learning to slow down, regulate your nervous system, and love yourself ⏩ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction — Who Finds Terri-Ann and Why 03:09 Her Daughter's Illness and the Discovery of Reiki 06:01 The Sudden Loss of Her Son Anthony 08:54 Feeling Him Immediately — Grief and Spiritual Connection 11:46 How to Connect with Loved Ones on the Other Side 14:53 Signs, Dreams, and Removing Self-Doubt 17:45 The Morning Heart-Breath Practice (Daily Challenge) 20:46 Staying Present in a World Full of Noise 23:38 Why We Look Outward When the Answers Are Within 26:34 From Pain Comes Beauty — Grief as Transformation 29:33 The Biggest Lesson Her Son's Passing Taught Her 32:27 Her Four Sessions Available on Orykl ABOUT THE ORYKL PODCAST: The Orykl Podcast is where seekers meet the lived experiences of those who've walked the path before them.
