1956 TIME Mag Article "Witches Every Month"

1956 TIME Mag Article "Witches Every Month"

This short episode is packed with mini contemplations. I give an overview of an article from TIME magazine 1956 titled "Witches Every Month" where a male gynecologist shares his insights about treating women with premenstrual tension. My Grandma was 28 that year and it is the same year my mother was born. This is a glimpse into the world they were living in and what beliefs and ideas they might have held around their bodies and experiences as women. I mention my friend, Heidi Mills, she's an incredible resource for women you can find her on Instagram @heidimillscoaching Here is the link to the article, there is more there than I share in this episode: https://time.com/vault/issue/1956-10-22/page/73/

S2E8: Mary Magdalene, Christianity, Embracing the Ego

In this episode I attempt to share my thoughts after reading the book Mary Magdalene Revealed by Meggan Watterson. I get lost in the weeds a few times, but hey, some weeds are nourishing and pretty to look at. I share a glimpse into my personal spiritual evolution, wading through the shallow waters of my reverse testimony. If you are with me until the end, I share a simple process that can help you to partner with your ego through journaling. The first interview from the First Blood: Stories From Menarche docuseries is ready to launch! I'm hosting a release party over Zoom (2.13.25 @ 7pm CST) and I hope you can make it!

S2E7: The Forest Through the Tree, Detoxing the Psyche, & Space Holding

In this episode I share how I came to write a short mythological story (which I read for you!) Next, I share a few highlights from my weekend retreat with Divine & Dangerous. What does it mean to detox the psyche? What is the language of the feminine? We explore a few tools for space holding that have been so simple yet so profound for me. Finally, I attempt to open my throat chakra on a topic near to my heart. I almost cut it out, but left it because it opens the door for future conversations.

S2E6: Grief, The Blue Book, Trinity

In this episode I explore a brand new format: Segments! Now easier to listen to, pause and reflect, journal, whatever your heart desires. The first segment is a listener topic: Grief. I go off on a slight tangent about human suffering, but steer it right back around with three practical contemplations for learning to navigate grief individually or in community. Next, I introduce a tool that I find super fascinating, but also useful in my life: The Blue Book. It's all about releasing emotional patterns with essential oils, but the most fun is in the connections I made with the thymus gland and the higher heart chakra. Wrapping it up, I share a poem written by myself titled Trinity. As always, I'd love to hear your insights, contemplations, or revelations. If you have any topics you'd love to hear discussed here please reach out! You can share any of these through direct message on Instagram: @krystaamejia Thanks, love, and peace!

S2E5 Conscious Growth & Evolution

In this episode I begin by sharing my gratitude and budding vision for the future of this podcast. From here it's an exploration of conscious growth and evolution. We all evolve at different rates and move along unique *paths* in our lifetimes. The one thing that is certain for all of us, is that we will continue to evolve and grow, whether we are active participants or not depends on our choices. You will get a peak into my personal journey of growth and evolution that started on the physical level and expanded rapidly from there. I mention Gene Keys by Richard Rudd in this episode.
