The Particular Power of Patience

Contrast, Currents, and Community Part 2

In Part 2 of "Contrast, Currents, and Community," I continue my conversation with author, Reiki Master, and intuitive Ben Padilla. Having explored the journey that shaped his path in Part 1, we now turn to the 9 Currents themselves. Ben introduces these living energies, shares how he integrates them with Reiki and intuitive readings in his work with others, and reflects on the continuing evolution of his writing and the communities taking shape around his books and website. Join us as we explore how wisdom, healing, and connection can deepen our understanding of ourselves and our shared journey.

Contrast, Currents, and Community Part 1

What if the very Contrasts that shape us become invitations into deeper wisdom? In Part 1 of "Contrast, Currents, and Community," I welcome author, Reiki Master, and intuitive Ben Padilla for a rich conversation about his journey from early trauma to spiritual awakening and the communities that supported his unfolding path. We explore the observer self, inherited patterns, and the teachings that eventually evolved into Ben’s understanding of the Nine Currents. We also discuss the books that emerged from this journey and the community that continues to grow around it. Join us as we reflect on how Contrast can become a doorway to meaning, connection, and transformation.

Vibrational Medicine

What if vibration is not merely something we experience, but the very fabric of existence itself? In this heartfelt conversation, I welcome my friend Florence Guest – Mystic, Teacher, and Dance Leader – to explore the wisdom of Vibrational Medicine and the sacred frequencies that illuminate our paths. Together we reflect on our intertwined journeys as Mystics, delve into the teachings of American Sufism, the Dances of Universal Peace, Zikr, and Wazifa, and consider vibration as the essence of Deity, the universe, and our own being. Join us for an exploration of remembrance, resonance, and the music of the soul.

The Gift of Facing Your Wild Nature: Befriending Your Untamed Self

Is it possible to harmonize with raw emotion and remain equanimous?  What happens if, instead of controlling our primal energy, we Allow wisdom to harmonize with instinct?  In this episode we will explore these questions through the images and metaphors of the Major Arcana card, Strength.  Our search will lead us into the realm of Lunar Energy, the challenge of stepping into greater spiritual dynamism, and the invitation of revealing our Divine spirit through physical embodiment.
