Finding Our Way: How to Meet the Moment When It feels like the World is Falling Apart

Finding Our Way: How to Meet the Moment When It feels like the World is Falling Apart

As we navigate the increasing turbulence and strife of these times, overwhelm and hopelessness can feel ever present; however, it is important to remember that all is not lost. We have agency, choice, and a say in how we meet this moment because our story isn't over. In this episode, we ask the question - How can we shift out of the habits and reactive ways of being that keep us stuck in fear, confusion, and reactivity, to that of creating the conditions to our collective flourishing? The answer can be found through decolonial unpacking and the the unwinding of conditioning. It is in that process that we discover the path forward is one inviting us to root deeper into ourselves, one another and community - with nature reminding us that the keys to our survival is our interconnectedness and interdependence. While we are at a pivotal point in time where destruction and change cannot be avoided, we are actively being invited to write that next chapter. May we meet the moment by choosing to step into the discomfort of living our purpose and honoring the sacred responsibility we have to ourselves and one another. This is how we build worlds and find our way...together. I hope you enjoy this episode and find some comfort as you listen. Sending you much love and appreciation. ********* If you want to catch the latest from me on upcoming teachings, events and offerings, visit www.kristinemiranda.com and sign up to my email list or follow me on my new Instagram account @dr.kristinemiranda

Becoming Undone: Inhabiting Uncertainty and Liminal Space

We are always navigating times of change but these current periods can feel especially turbulent and unsettling, not just individually but collectively. If you find yourself in a place of uncertainty, navigating liminal space, or feeling lost, this episode is for you. It's a difficult place to be in, and I'm navigating one myself so know you're not alone in that. Uncertain times often bring us face to face with our shadow, which can be disorienting, overwhelming, and at times painful, leading us to grasp for any semblance of certainty and stability. It's a human impulse, one to be expected. What we don't realize is that as we cling and grasp, our sense of agency diminishes more and more in trying to get ourselves to hold on to what used to be. By reaching for certainty and resisting being in the void, we block ourselves from possibility. How then, can we break free from these traps when paralysis sets in and seeing beyond the liminal space feels impossible? I took this question to my ancestors and their response may surprise you because it certainly did me. While we may be feeling tender during these times, sometimes being in the void is what provides the medicine. I hope you enjoy this episode...it's a special one to me.

Wounded Light: The New Face of Colonialism in the New Age Spiritual space

There is an assumption that all associated with light in terms of spirituality is good. But what if I were to tell you that "love and light" and being "high vibe" are being weaponized as a way to normalize harm towards others? It may be a difficult truth to accept ; however, what most people don't realize is that light can be both divine and wounded, and for that reason, the latter tends to fly under the radar. In this episode, Dr. Kristine Miranda delves into the concepts of divine light and wounded light, their manifestations, and how one can be used to support oppression while the other for liberation for all. Colonialism and white supremacy have infiltrated the New Age spirituality space in the form of wounded light, but there is hope. By using discernment and the practice of right relating to guide us, we can deepen into true embodiment and practice of love and care, and help mitigate harm. These challenges can be a portal to discovery and maturity - one where we are called to claim and integrate our divine light and divine darkness, honor our wholeness, and rise to meet our sacred responsibility to one another. In doing so, we open the door to possibility and contribute to the healing of our world. *Note: This episode is a spicy one.

Ancestral Connection (Part 2): Familial Reconciliation as an Act of Spiritual Reclamation

Ancestral connection brings with it an opportunity to expand your consciousness and world sense, both of  which will impact your perceptions of the unseen realms, your experience of the world around you, and potentially your understanding of family.    As a follow up to the last episode on ancestral connection, Part 2 addresses the common sentiment of ambivalence about familial connection, specifically if there have been ruptures or if one is a descendant of folks with troubling histories.    While it can be challenging to acknowledge the troubles and burdens of your lineage, it is important to be reminded that there is goodness to be found in all of our lineages as well. It is in accessing wise Eldership that we can begin to help heal fragmentation caused by colonizatioin, ancestral trauma and intergenerational trauma within our families and communities.     The wisdom they provide is profound but it is the relationships we cultivate with them that can have the most heart healing impact.    May this relational tending be the begininng of your reclamation of your ancestral roots, practices and connections. May it support you in the rewriting of your lineages' narratives to reflect the power of repair and ancestral devotion in bringing healing and goodness to yourself, your family and the world.    ********* If you want to catch the latest from me on upcoming teachings, events and offerings, visit www.kristinemiranda.com and sign up to my email list or follow me on my new Instagram account @dr.kristinemiranda Sending you much love and appreciation.
