The lovely Anne-Marie Mayers, founder of the Soul Awakening Academy joins us to talk about her own Wounded Healer journey and how this ultimately led her to remembering she has the power to change her life and remove what wasn’t working.

She went on to study a variety of different spiritual techniques, including Reiki, EFT and hypnotherapy, and now offers courses and training including trauma-informed life-coaching, spiritual training, and emotional healing workshops. She is also the author of two books including ‘Soulful, Spiritual, Mindful, Masterful’, and ‘Alchemy of the Soul’.

She reminds us that we all need a spiritual element in our lives, because to surrender to something spiritual is so powerful, and the key to finding out who we really are. This leads us to discuss identity and how much further that goes than just a label. Anne-Marie believes that we are fed unhelpful information which conditions us to believe in a truth that is chosen for us. She recommends we inform ourselves through research and quantum physics which might then open the door to other perspectives to help in the understanding of ourselves.

As humans, Anne-Marie points out, we can ask: who do I want to be? We can upgrade if we choose to and turn the base metal into gold. We are all on a Hero’s Journey to find our true selves, and we can only do this by feeling into the alignment and joy in our lives.

We speak to the wonderful Fay Johnstone, author of Plant Spirit Reiki, and an experienced shamanic practitioner who assists others to expand into the highest version of themselves.

Fay explains that walking the path of shamanism is like walking with ‘one foot in this world and one foot in another reality’. She tells us about her journey of working with plants, making potions, foraging, celebrating nature and the vital role plants play in our day to day health and wellbeing.

Her story is a fascinating one as she shares how it all started for her whilst working in Canada running a flower and herb farm. She now lives with her husband in Scotland where she runs retreats from her magical garden.

She shares how she realised she could ask nature for guidance and reminds us of the importance of asking for help from guides, plant spirits, fairy folk – we don’t have to do this alone! They are aligned with their unique essence, hence the more time we spend in nature, the more we are infused with this frequency. When it comes to plants we get a full sense of them through our senses because they are all around us. We also have their medicine – we must remember that we are part of nature not separate from it, therefore we know innately how to communicate with nature.

If you would like to work with Fay, you can find her on www.fayjohnstone.com where you can learn about her different offerings including her books, her Substack community and a chance to join Fay’s monthly online sacred circle space. She is also on Instagram as @plantsthatspeak, and on YouTube where she shares lots of helpful content about connecting with plant spirit healing.

Kev Bailey joins us, a healer and medium working for spirit, who uses a mixture of kinesiology, crystals and energy therapies alongside shamanic healing techniques to help others on their own healing journey’s.

Kev shares his own personal story that begins with many difficulties and challenges but ultimately leads him on his own path of healing, working with his grief and understanding his shadow side and triggers. He believes that if we don’t do this, you bypass most of your lessons and repeat cycles that are no longer serving you.

He believes the most important thing we should be focusing on now is our connection to source and that not everyone will ‘wake up’ and that’s ok. Maybe they have chosen to stay in their 3D experience and/or have contracted to stay at this level.

Kev shares some examples of what he’s experienced when working with others, which is fascinating! During his shamanic healing sessions, Kev works with a female brown bear which according to Native American traditions is one of the most powerful medicines to work with.

To find out more about Kev (his nickname is Bear) you can visit his website: www.theuncommonheartfelttouch.com, he travels the country and has venues in the North West, also in Glastonbury, Leicester, Nottingham and Derby. The best thing to do is ring Kev and you can have a chat with him over the phone.

Sally Francis chats with us about her latest book - Over the Rainbow to a New Found Consciousness, that explores finding out who you are in the process of ascension of Earth.

She has been working as a complimentary therapist, tutor of accredited courses, tarot reader, medium, kinesiologist and healer for the last 35 years and wanted to write the book to capture all of what she has learned during that time.

Her goal has been primarily to help people understand how to keep themselves calm. This is something that she talks about in her book which also has meditations to help the reader keep calm. She believes we need to do this now more than ever as we see the ever increasing chaos happening in the world which Sally says is linked to the ascension of earth.

Sally believes we come into this life to learn and grow here on Earth and sometimes we try to interfere with another persons journey because we want them to be happy, but we have to let them do their own journey. It’s hard, especially with people you love, to step back, but sometimes this is the most helpful thing you can do. Sally explains that in the book she really explores what unconditional love is, including unconditional love of the self. She says we are not very good at it for ourselves or in relationships. That’s one of the hardest things, to love someone for who they are and not who you want them to be.

To find out more about Sally or to work with her or do any of her courses, you can buy her book - it’s available to buy online - Over the Rainbow to a New Found Consiousness. It’s a personal and global new found consciousness. Her business page on Facebook is Sally Wathen at Rainbow Bridge.

We welcome Trina Kavanagh-Thomas, an Energy & Wellbeing Mentor who combines her skills in personal training, health coaching and energy work to help stressed out leaders turn their dreams into reality. She specialises in supporting high achieving individuals to reach their personal and business goals by deciphering recurring dreams, thoughts and patterns which are often tied to stress in the mind and body.

So how did all this start? Well she shares that after some soul searching about her own personal wounds, she moved through self-punishment and began to find her own ‘why’ to follow her soul’s purpose.

She discovered that using movements of the body helps to release emotions and she believes that, with the recent heavy focus on mindset, we have lost that aspect of working with our bodies in the 3D. She reminds us that eating patterns can also be a manifestation of buried emotions, and when we really feel what it’s like to truly be in our bodies, we can become more sensitive to triggers.

Trina believes in empowering people to know their own bodies and find their own answers.

This brings us onto the topic about the role of intuition and how it’s connected to our higher intelligence, and we must draw upon this. We must let go and release the programming and habitual ways of behaving and thinking, whilst not negating ourselves for the conditions we have experienced. It is important to practice self-love and self-compassion.

We also explore recurring dreams and how they tie into unhelpful patterns. Recurring dreams can identify recurring emotions, and Trina believes this can help us address unhelpful patterns or insecurities. She believes that if the nervous system is calm, we can address these problems by tuning in to where these recurring patterns manifest in our bodies. We can receive messages from our bodies when we look after them. Trina shares that looking after our basic needs can help us dramatically, and she recommends tuning in to our own needs on any particular day, emphasising the importance of quality of our sleep. She says that our bodies contain a plethora of information, if we would only ask!

If you would like to work with Trina, you can visit her website, trinakavanagh.com, connect with her on LinkedIn or follow her on Instagram: @trinakavanagh.

Joanna Walden joins us who is a visionary transformation specialist, multidimensional channel, speaker and author of ‘The Inside Hustle. A Mystical Misfit’s Travel Adventure Into The Unknown’ and ‘A Beautiful Radical Truth. Wisdom From Another Realm’.

She shares her story of how she spent twenty years working in a high flying advertising career in New York, London & Melbourne while secretly exploring her passion for the unseen world of energy, spirit and consciousness.

Joanna tells us that she has been inspired by several life-changing mystical experiences - one where she was told she had role in shifting consciousness on this planet and that she has great wisdom to share!

Another life-changing moment occured in 2017 where she had many different encounters with light beings. They told her about heart technology and that it’s the most relevant and effective tool on the planet right now. She was taught how to use it as a multidimensional technology and how to bring it into alignment to use for alchemy, visions and many more things.

She is now on a global quest to use heart technology, channeled wisdom and consciousness practices to guide others back to their mastery. She shares that we each have a divine template and uniqueness that we are supposed to embody on the planet right now and that the heart is the greatest organising principle in the universe.

Shimrit Nativ joins us for this episode, who works as a mentor, transformation and success coach as well as a mindset expert, helping hundreds of driven and creative individuals across the globe to create and sustain a consistent baseline of confidence, success and fulfilment. She is an accredited and certified ICF professional coach, Proctor-Gallagher consultant, an executive contributor on Brainz magazine and also a successful entrepreneur.

In this podcast episode we delve into several areas of Shimrit's life and she tells us it feels like she's lived at least 3 lifetimes already at the age of 44 due to the many 'pivots' in her life! All complimentary and instrumental for her to master her own path and forge a way towards success, building a six-figure business as well as experiencing careers as a musician, coach, teacher, mentor, manager, leader and mother.

She quotes Earl Nightingale’s definition of success as a ‘progressive realisation of a worthy ideal’. The worthy ideal being what we desire, and the knowledge that we are worthy of becoming the fullest version of ourselves and living that desire in the physical form.

Shimrit believes intuition allows us to connect to spirit and our own soul to receive guidance from God, the universe, spirit or whichever term we use to help us discern the right path. She shares that you have to practice fine tuning the ability to sense and translate frequencies, just as we do with our five other senses.

Shimrit points out ‘truth is truth’ - it doesn’t matter the source. We will find it with those who resonate with us the most. We are now in a time of celebrating people’s uniqueness and their own special way of delivering the truth – whether it’s scientifically, spiritually, mathematically, religiously, quantum-based or both.

A truly fascinating and inspiring conversation that will leave you wanting to find out more!
