A year end mark brings change. Change is what life is all about. Tune in to hear how change is affecting our podcast. Notes * For a year now, we've shared our organic conversations on our podcast. It’s been an amazing ride for both of us. We thank you for sharing this journey with us. * Phoebe is transforming the podcast to include organic conversation with others, some strangers, some not. It’s a way to broaden community and to discover more about the very fabric of life that holds us all together. * There’s a learning curve to make this happen, expect a bit of a lapse in April podcasts. * The new podcast looks at the only constant, change, and how it affects us--in general and in our personal and spiritual development. * Everything is opening up to us in new ways. Phoebe sees herself as a catalyst to help with the ease of transformation. Together, we’ll remember who we are and celebrate going “deep” in a playful way. * Subscribe, if you haven’t already, to our podcast to automatically get news about the new podcast.

Does saying ‘yes, and’ add value to our daily life? Eleni and Phoebe look at how we can say more of ‘yes, and,’ plus how to figure out how we can best answer a yes or no question. Notes * Saying ‘yes, and’ rather than either/or allows us to be more collaborative, listen better, and widens our life view and experiences. * In dowsing, if we ask to what degree is a yes or no question beneficial, we can then work with the nuances of the question. Nuances can give us information and a bigger picture of a situation or experience. * Coming back to a neutral position is always key in either/or situations, as well as, in yes or no questions. * If we’re in the present moment, we can ask if something energizes or deflates us. * If we miss a ‘yes, and’ opportunity, we’re most likely trapped in our mind and its stories. * The moment we recognize that we're choosing ‘yes, and' or either/or speaks volumes about how we're showing up with others.

What is a muse? Are muses doling out inspiration and creativity to all of us? Notes * Phoebe received the inspired idea of creating her Plantspeak Oracle cards through claircognizance in the woods. The spirit of place can be a muse. * Can more than one person receive the same inspiration? An inspiration birthed is more important than who birthed it. * Do we have conversations or dialogues with our muses? What is our internal process when we receive an inspired idea? * Has how we have defined what a muse is changed much over the years? * Can we view the Greek muses of classical mythology as a collective? * Are our spirit guides and the Spirit Doctor Team muses and/or collaborators and supporters?

Eleni and Phoebe talk about how Tarot and Oracle cards differ from each other. What do these cards offer and teach us? Notes * Tarot cards offer ancient information and knowledge that has been passed down to the public throughout the ages. * In general, readings with Tarot cards give us more specific and detailed information, while Oracle cards show us a bigger picture. Why not play with combining both Tarot and Oracle cards in a reading? * Using cards encourages us to learn about our own intuition and sacred information. * Each reading can easily change or shift, depending upon free will, action, events and synchronicities. * Perhaps some of the currently produced Tarot and Oracle decks contain new or repurposed information, that we’re ready to now receive and work with. * When we read cards a balance between our own intuition and the cards must exist, otherwise the card readings become formulaic. * When we use Tarot or Oracle cards, we can learn and evolve with playfulness and depth.

From a Korean folk tale to Fred Rogers, Eleni and Phoebe examine ways on how to make everyday sacred. Notes * Everyday sacred is practicing being present with intention, pausing and breathing. * A Korean Folk Tale astounds readers in its profound simplicity of making all things sacred, including maggots. Everything has inherent value. * Fred Rogers practiced making everyday sacred in his life. He shared his authentic practice in his T.V. show. * Tips are included for making everyday sacred, including gratitude etc. Links A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) - IMDb [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3224458/] Subscribe to invite our conversation into your life every Wednesday. <3 Join our conversation on Instagram [https://instagram.com/lifeunveiledpodcast/].
