12. Yoga as a Spiritual Tool

In this episode of Is This Sh!t Legit? we're talking all about yoga.  We go into the history and origins, the different types, and the original intention behind yoga as a practice. In her research, Keri found that the practice of yoga has evolved a lot since its beginnings to get to where it is now. With the British colonization of India, the idea of productivity was introduced into the Indian culture making yoga illegal to practice. Leading a yogic lifestyle became taboo forcing it underground. This fundamentally changed yoga as a lot of the original texts were lost and/or incorrectly translated.  When yoga was introduced to the western world with its obsession with fitness it became a new way to workout. Again, a departure from its original intention.  Keri shares about how her yoga practice is an essential part of her wellbeing and her preference to practice solo. Heather shares about her journey with yoga and her love of a challenge that she finds through her practice.   Do you have a yoga practice? How does it enhance your life?

9. Manifestation Remix

In the last episode of 2023 of Is This Sh!t Legit? we talk about the practice of Manifestation.  This topic felt appropriate as we near the New Year and the tradition of setting New Year's resolutions. There are a lot of different beliefs around the practice of manifestation and what someone needs to do in order to manifest that have been taught in the book The Secret or The Law of Attraction that say you need to think positive and stay in the vibration. If that works for you, great, but that's not what this episode is about.  In this episode Heather shares the process that she learned from To Be Magnetic, which was developed by  Lacy Phillips, who teaches that we manifest from our subconscious beliefs. In this particular process you gain agency to actively work toward what you want to create in your life by moving through a 3 part manifestation process: expanding, unblocking, and taking aligned action.    We go into how to work with the mind to reprogram limiting beliefs through neuroplasticity in order to help you connect with your goals.  Heather and Keri both share their insights on the topic of manifestation including some of the things that they've personally manifested for themselves.  We hope you enjoy this episode and we'd love to hear what you're manifesting for the coming year.

8. Who is Gene Keys?

In this episode of Is This Sh!t Legit? we have an epic debate on the topic of Gene Keys. Gene Keys, a companion study to Human Design, is a personalized map to raising your state of consciousness through acknowledging and embracing your shadows in order to transform them into the gifts that are contained inside each of them.  We share how the author of the Gene Keys book received the information contained within it as a transmission that began in 2002 that took him 7 years to complete. The Gene Keys Golden Path, the personalized map laid out in your hologenetic profile, is broken into 3 sequences for study and contemplation: The Activation Sequence, The Venus Sequence, and The Pearl Sequence.  Each of these sequences are devoted to guiding you through different aspects of your profile, highlighting where you, as an individual, hold shadow patterns. All of this is based off of your birth information that when calculated through astrology shows you what your particular traits are. The recording of this episode is Keri's first exposure to Gene Keys. Keri masterfully paints Heather into a corner as she works to summarize and break down the concepts into as much of a simplified format as she can. There are some moments of struggle when Keri's questions go beyond Heather's own understanding and she must consult the book for clarity. This one gets lively but we somehow maintain our composure as we go back and forth on many different points along the way.  Heather shares her personal journey with the Gene Keys as a contemplation that has transformed her life and relationships in many positive ways.  We hope you enjoy this episode and if you've had experience with the Gene Keys, we'd love to hear about it! You can DM us on Instagram @keri.emme and @high.vibe.heather To learn more about Gene Keys, visit: https://genekeys.com/ [https://genekeys.com/] where you can download your hologenetic profile for free.
