Ep. 73 Connecting to Our Inner Wildness Thru Breathwork & Curiosity with Eryn Johnson
Today we’re speaking with Eryn Johnson from the Living Open podcast for mystics and seekers! Eryn Johnson is a Philly-based witch, intuitive, and creative. The foundation of her work is energetic and based on the belief that there's nothing wrong with you-- we are simply programmed from a young age to forget the truth of who we are.
She uses Reiki, tarot, breathwork, movement, and storytelling to bring her back to herself and to bring you back to you- back to your power, back to your magic, back to your intuition.
We chat about curiosity as intuition, how judgement has been a big part of Eryn’s journey with healing and how breathwork has totally cracked her open. We talk about nature as a mirror and reflection of the emotions we carry, and I share a very vulnerable moment of grief and how expression and release of these energies is so critical for our vitality.
Eryn shares how she builds her trust muscle for greater connection to her intuition and the practices and tools that have been game-changing in her life experience.
Eryn is also offering a free gift for listeners (which is different from the one she mentions in the interview!), click below for detailed show notes and to access her 8-minute breathwork meditation for daily spiritual practice.

Sajah Popham, founder of Organic Unity and The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, is a student of the universal truths found within both ancient and modern herbal traditions from around the world. He is also the author of Evolutionary Herbalism: Science, Spirituality, and Medicine from the Heart of Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2019). The focus of his work is on integrating ancient teachings for a new paradigm of plant medicine, one that is truly holistic in its honoring of the spirit, energetics, and body of both people and plants. His unique synthesis bridges herbalism not only east and west, but north and south, above and below, into a universal philosophy that encompasses indigenous wisdom, Ayurveda, western Alchemy and Spagyrics, Astrology, clinical herbalism, and modern pharmacology.
Sajah’s vitalist approach utilizes plants not only for physiological healing and rejuvenation, but for the evolution of consciousness, for a truly holistic practice of plant medicine. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. He lives in southern Oregon with his wife where he teaches at his school, makes spagyric medicines, and practices his art.
Show Notes
In this episode, we discuss:
How Sajah knew he wanted to work in medicine as a kid and how the plant path pulled him from the track of becoming a surgeon
Sajah’s realization that healing is so much more than fixing what’s broken
How Sajah considers himself more of a spiritual seeker before an herbalist
How Sajah began studying various herbal and healing traditions, uncovering universal truths that led to his goal to honor both the physical and spiritual
How the current education system structures our way of thinking and the importance of “learning by heart” - gnosis cardiaca, and Sajah’s interest in the “perennial truth”
The importance of the natural world and the light of nature being the core pillar of evolutionary herbalism
The 5 pillars of evolutionary herbalism
3 primary energetic patterns at the basis of herbal medical traditions and cosmic science: the 3 principles, 5 elements, and 7 planets
Universal herbalism is understanding how these patterns are reflected in life and health, and traditions of herbalism throughout the world and ages
Transformational medicine which addresses the mind, heart, body, and soul
“The body is the most material aspect of the soul, and the soul is the most volatile aspect of the body - they’re not separate.”
Pillar #5: Know thyself -
The spiralic journey and the nonlinear energetic patterns of nature
Sajah’s perspective on dogma and how we’re usually all saying the same thing in different words
How we can work with plants for transformational healing and assist us in reclaiming our true natures and support us in working through traumas and breaking through conditionings
How Sajah uses medical astrology to translate patterns within a person’s life
The significance of archetypal forces and patterns within medicine, plants, and people as a bridge
How to tend to the inner cosmos and Sajah walks us through a fantastic case study to ground these principles into practice, including planetary patterns, plant medicine, and energetics for healing body, mind and spirit
How working with plant in an alchemical way helped to heal the expression of the pattern and archetype of the person
How working with a single plant that is a “match” energetically to the patterns of the person can be profoundly powerful in the healing process
The difference between a “hope herbalist” and a holistic herbalist, and how an evolutionary herbalist is looking at the spiritual and archetypal expression too

Gift #1: Guilt Free Boundary Meditation: Most of us, especially women, were taught to be nice - and saying no can make you fear you’re being mean or selfish. But if you want to have successful relationships, saying NO is a part of drawing healthy boundaries and being authentic. Terri created this meditation for you so that you can begin to reset your internal dialogue and be on your way to honoring your “No” with less fear, guilt or anxiety.
Gift #2: Boundary Blueprint: Your unique boundary blueprint impacts how well or poorly you’re creating boundaries in your personal and professional relationships right now. This guide contains specific questions that will help you understand the boundary styles you learned in your family of origin.

How to build trust in yourself to rise up from love addiction, chaos and painful patterns
The importance of continuously saying to yourself what you know to be true - There’s some part of you that knows the truth, even if you’re not ready to admit it
Christine’s advice for people who are bystanders or witnesses and loved ones of people who are in toxic, love addicted relationships - and a reminder that you can’t save anybody
The power of going through your soul journey without judgement and honoring the “rock bottoms”
Christine’s mission of adding depth & diversity to the soul reclamation conversation, and how the new age spirituality movements lacked representation of different voice especially of marginalized peoples
How so many of us are breaking intergenerational patterns and traumas, and why it’s critical to connect with others who share similar stories and lineages
The power of seeing others like yourself overcome challenges
I get vulnerable in sharing how the depth of trauma that was being revealed thru my own mom’s journey with breast cancer was healing for the whole family on a cellular level
Why Christine weaves tantra and Shaktism into her work, and the critical work of sacred sexuality in her work
Christine leads us through a beautiful meditation using breath and sensual creative primal energy for healing

Ep. 64 INTUITION x HEALTH :: How to Connect to Your Intuition to Support Your Well-Being, Intuitive Eating, & Practical Witch Tips
In this episode, We are diving into INTUITION as it relates to your health. What is it... How to tap into it... Practices to increase your connection to your intuition and how intuition plays a role in eating and our connection to the natural world...
Source: Pinterest
In this episode, I’m diving into INTUITION as it relates to your health. What is it... How to tap into it... Practices to increase your connection to your intuition & my take on intuitive eating + connection to the natural world.
You’ll hear about the importance of tracking, and various ways to reveal patterns, interconnections, and build your “trust” muscle for greater awareness. I share about researcher Clara Marie Davis's incredible study in the 1940s that sheds light on the intuitive eating abilities of babies, and the difference between “animal instinct” or “gut instinct” and intuition.
We cover the forgotten language of nature, how careful and mindful sensory perception is the gate to higher knowledge, & how training in imagination can lead to greater intuition and clairvoyance. We end this episode with an inspiring channeled message from the Akashic Records and our guides for the collective with a special invitation: “It is your birthright… You will start a fire with your gift, a flame that will burn through the untruths, blocks, heaviness and light the way forward. What are you waiting for?”

Show Notes
In this episode, we discuss:
What is intuition
How intuition relates to our health
How to cultivate intuition
Why Venessa no longer as issues calling herself “psychic,” and how everyone can embrace their own psychic capacities
Tools to support building intuition
Tracking - the importance of building proof for the rational mind
Food mood poop journal
Tracking Energetic cycles: diurnal, lunar, seasonal, biorhythms
Intuitive journal tracking
The power of connecting to earth & nature for supporting your intuition & health
Intuitive eating + Clara Marie Davis's study “The self-selection of diets by young children” where young children intuitively chose the best foods for themselves
The difference between “animal instinct” or “gut instinct” and intuition
The significance of remembering the language of nature and ability to communicate at that level if we want to have an intuitive understanding of nature and ourselves
Starting with perception & curiosity, and the critical importance that we begin attuning our sensory perception faculties
A reminder that YOU are nature, your body is nature, then it would be natural to accept that your health is a reflection of this nature
Rudolf Steiner’s take on intuition (his definition goes way beyond “intuitive hits”) - clarifying the steps for spiritual training and boosting intuition: (1) sensory perception to (2) imagination, to (3) inspiration, and finally to (4) intuition
How careful and mindful sensory perception is the gate to higher knowledge
Steiner advises seekers of truth to train systematically in imagination. Images are one step before clairvoyance.
The importance of diligent meditation and concentration practice
The heart is a gatekeeper to intuitive communication and “hearing”
We end this episode with a channeled message from the Akashic Records and our guides for the collective: “They have it in them it is their birthright, we are being called to remember how to live from this place once again… Do not just do it for yourself, do it for the whole of universe because you are a spoke of the wheel of the great mystery, the All, One. And as you activate this inherent gift within you, this innate ability and sense, way of being, it will have a ripple effect throughout the generations and upon one another. You will start a fire with your gift, a flame that will burn through the untruths, blocks, heaviness and light the way forward. What are you waiting for?”

Ep. 63 The DIRT on Microbes, Toxins, Stress & Spirit with Dr. Maya Shetreat
We’re speaking with Maya Shetreat, MD, a neurologist, herbalist, urban farmer, and author of The Dirt Cure: Healthy Food, Healthy Gut, Happy Child. Dr. Maya is the founder of the Terrain Institute, where she teaches Terrain Medicine™, earth-based programs for transformational healing. She works and studies with indigenous communities and healers in Ecuador, and is a lifelong student of ethnobotany, plant healing, and the sacred.
In this episode, you're going to hear what she believes to be 3 foundational pieces to our health & wellbeing (they all revolve around dirt), how her son’s early health challenge sent her down a rabbit hole, and a path to remembering what she really cared about - food, plants, environment, and spirit.
We’re covering the microbiome, toxins, stress, and Dr. Maya gets really honest about being a pioneer in her field and the resistance she encountered from colleagues. She shares her top non-negotiables and what she believes the one thing we must cultivate for our soul’s wellbeing.
Show Notes
In this episode, we discuss:
How Dr. Maya got into dirt, her childhood playing with nature
3 foundational pieces to our health & wellbeing - all around dirt; the pillars of health:
Being exposed to germs and microbes
Eating fresh food from healthy soil
Being immersed in nature
How Dr. Maya started putting the puzzle pieces together and recover her son’s health, beginning with late nights looking at the scientific literature
The connections between pesticides, farming practices and allergic disease
How Roundup was first patented as an antibiotic
How families share a microbiome, and how diversity is important for health
How Dr. Maya got her family on board with food and lifestyle changes using incremental changes, phases, rotations, and “crowding out” techniques
Top things to avoid: bleach and harsh chemical cleaners, instead, use natural cleaners
Why we really want to be around germs, and promote diversity in our microbiome
Eliminate antimicrobial soaps and toxic hygenic products
Expand microbial exposures - good news: you don’t have to clean as much! “It’s ok to not be squeaky clean all the time”
Incorporate as much time outside and out in nature as possible
Have a pet - you share microbiome with your pets!, the benefits of having pets in the prevention of immune disorders
How stressors can be good for us, and how they result in more powerful nutrition and medicine in plants
Dr. Maya breaks down the immune process and system, and how a less diverse exposure to microbes will lead to more allergic response and overactivity
The concept of hormesis and the importance of small stressors in regular doses
How emotional stressful situations can be apart of an initiation and support our growth
The importance of coming together to protect our health from massive stressors and toxins, and how Dr. Maya sees it happening already
How Dr. Maya weaves in the spiritual into her medical practice, and why there is no way to avoid connection to the ancient entities and spirit when working with Mother Earth
What working with an ethnobotanist, shaman, and other teachers in Equador taught her
As a pioneer in her field bridging mind body spirit in conventional neurology, the resistance she encountered from colleagues when she began incorporating holistic tools and modalities
Some common emotional-spiritual-physical body connections and challenges Dr. Maya sees and how she supports her patients through self discovery
The importance of learning how to listen, and incorporating practices to listen such as keeping a dream journal
Dr. Maya’s top non-negotiables for supporting your health, and how being in a state of receiving can be game-changing, plus her tips on how to get into that receptive mode and learn to listen to unspoken language

Solo Episode: APRIL 2019 :: Akashic Soul Nourishment Reading :: EXPANSION THROUGH DIVERSITY: Healthy Dissonance, Fractals, & In-formation that Shapes Us
About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.
We're guided by words from our ancestors and the unseen ones, the ones without voices that can’t be heard by the ear… They share:
How diversity is a key ingredient in expansion and growth.
There is alchemy that happens with diversity - possibilities expand, our collective field expands.
The concept of unification through diversity. All is one, and one is everything.
A reminder that we are fractals, what they are and how they support our overall health and growth.
A call to diversify the information that we read thru our senses and experience, which means evolution and expansion in real time within our minds and physiology = more resources.
They remind us of the “messy” gardens of the ancients, which cultivated immense intelligence, diversity, support, growth, ingenuity, innovation, and nourishment.
And a tarot reading that supports a deeper dive into the nature of your relationships and the “pollinators” in your life: 4 of cups, reversed
Questions to contemplate:
How can you go to the edge of all that you know and perceive and expand even more?
Can you embrace the dissonance that comes with diversity?
Where can you let go of control a bit and allow the “messiness” to guide you into a deeper truth and knowing that is vastly more resourceful, real, and expansive?
A call to review the garden of your life... what are you keeping out that could be good medicine? What aren’t you allowing in that would bring healthy dissonance and greater teachings?
Can you see the beautifully intricate design within the mess?

Ep. 60 Living in the Chrysalis :: Navigating a Nomadic Lifestyle, Gift Economy & the Unknown with Michelle Stransky
Sometimes we don’t know where we’re going, and we’re in these “in between” phases which is challenging but we have an internal GPS and blueprint for what we can bring and become. What is required is trust, time, and a container - this chrysalis... today Michelle shares how she is living in this process and shares wisdom from her own personal knowing…
Butterflies have always fascinated me, there’s something about butterflies and the transformation process that provides a sense of hope and connection to divinity or Source. I know that many of us are experiencing a deep sense of being in the chrysalis alchemy at a collective level. So when I received a message from Michelle Stransky about the process of transformation and the cocoon that she is living in right now, I knew I had to share it with others.
Sometimes we don’t know where we’re going, and we’re in these “in between” phases which is challenging but we have an internal GPS and blueprint for what we can bring and become. What is required is trust, time, and a container - this chrysalis... today Michelle shares how she is living in this process and shares wisdom from her own personal knowing.
I met Michelle in an organization she started called WisdomWomen, which is in its own process of transformation. In this episode, Michelle talks about her trajectory from a corporate career to Wisdom 2.0 and saying YES to starting her own project, WisdomWomen, which has led to a way of living and being that she never anticipated.
Michelle shares how she has had to dismantle and “undo” ways of having and participating in community, her experience living a nomadic lifestyle and in the “gift economy,” what it is, how she got started and the many ways it’s shaping her life. We cover trust, synchronicities, relationships and of course fear and scarcity mentality around money... and all the ways Michelle has had to face them and overcome them. Michelle shares her vision for the future and words of wisdom for those just starting out on this journey.
Michelle Stransky most recently founded WisdomWomen, a safe space for women to collectively grieve, dream, explore emergence, experiment with collaboration, tend to conflicts and heal through relationships - all in service to growing a more beautiful world. She recently closed all WisdomWomen activities in order to allow the organization to enter into its next evolution. As the mysterious process of metamorphosis unfolds, Michelle continues to experiment with community building, emergence, land-based living, the gift economy, new paradigm relationship and creative collaboration.
Prior to WisdomWomen, Michelle was the Conference Director at Wisdom 2.0 where she produced large-scale events that expanded the mindfulness movement in business and technology. For a decade before, Michelle was an organizational change and development consultant to clients such as NASA, Wells Fargo and General Motors. During her transition out of corporate, she spent years training in various transformational programs and became an Executive Life Coach and Facilitator for the Shakti Malan Academy.
For the past two years, Michelle and her husband have been living a nomadic lifestyle, journeying amongst places like Santa Cruz, Colorado, Prague, and Hawaii.
Show Notes
In this episode, we discuss:
Michelle’s trajectory from corporate career to Wisdom 2.0 and saying Yes to starting her own project birthing of WisdomWomen -
How do we as women contribute our wisdom to our society and create a better world in ways we have not done before?
How Michelle had to dismantle and “undo” ways of having and participating in community
How a series of failures, conflicts, and intuitive listening served her to open up to a greater field of intelligence instead of forcing things to be a certain way
How to hold a container in a way that is outside of a yang, directed, agenda-led
TRUST - how to cultivate trust in this world, forgoing concepts of practicality and “job security”
Michelle’s experience living in the “gift economy” and a nomadic lifestyle, what it is and how she got started and the ways it’s shaping her life
How partnership and family has played a part in her journey with her calling, and how living in an alternative way has impacted her relationship
What Michelle has learned and realized through her challenges in partnership around trusting the wild they’re on together
Michelle’s viewpoint around the concept of “stability”
The importance of honest and open communication no matter how difficult or painful it may seem and how it liberates everyone in the end
Seeing relationships, businesses, projects etc as entities that are born and develop, and how that has evolved with Michelle’s movement with WisdomWomen
How synchronicity and support from a greater network unfolded for Michelle as they began living within the gift economy, creating interdependence, community and sharing of resources
How vulnerability and receiving plays a big role
How Michelle overcame fear and scarcity mentality around money and shift in where she places her sense of security
Why allowing your curiosity to lead the way can support living in the gift economy within a world that does not
How Michelle has surprised herself by living in this new way
Michelle shares her vision of co-creating a land-based community and new world calling to work through difficult power/money/sex/greed dynamics
Words of wisdom for others just starting out on this journey and in the middle of their own metamorphosis

Lots of recommendation for highly sensitive people and empaths! We talk about trees as teachers, the power of silliness, dreamtime, and how to open our hearts for greater access to collective wisdom that’s available to us, including plant allies that support us in this deep work.
Asia’s work includes private consultations as well as in-person retreats and online programs, including Intuitive Plant Medicine, a yearly program that guides people into coming into connection with the natural world.

Ep. 56 Akashic Records 101: Accessing Powerful Soul Messages for Clarity, Healing & Growth
For thousands of years, sages, mystics, seers, and philosophers have claimed that there is a cosmic field that is all interconnecting, which collects and provides information, and informs the web of life - in the East it is called the Akashic Field.
In this episode, I’m covering the Akashic Field, aka Akashic Records is a vast, energetic database that holds the vibrational imprints of your soul, soul’s history and purpose in this life...

For thousands of years, sages, mystics, seers, and philosophers have claimed that there is a cosmic field that is all interconnecting, which collects and provides information, and informs the web of life - in the East it is called the Akashic Field.
In this episode, I’m covering the Akashic Field, aka Akashic Records… a vast, energetic database that holds the vibrational imprints of your soul, soul’s history and purpose in this life. You can think of it as the ultimate Google or the universe's super computer. Some call it the Book of Life... but imagine a creative, evolving, choose-your-own-adventure kind of book.
The way I work at the soul level when exploring one's Sacred Ecology is primary through accessing the Akashic Records. Since staring my work with the Akashic Records, my life as well as my practice and work with clients catapulted to a new level when I started incorporating the intuitive work I had been doing for years outside of my practice - the kind of exploration that worked at the soul level. So I wanted to share this gift with you!
Show Notes
In this episode, we discuss:
What are the Akashic Records & how to access them
My personal journey starting with the Akashic Records and how it has changed my life and practice
How they can assist you in your soul’s journey
What type of information they provide
The best questions to ask the Akashic Records
Case studies and true stories of how messages from the Akasha have helped
The concepts of past lives, future predicting, and meeting your guides
How to begin accessing the records as a beginner and tips on dropping into receiving mode and boosting your intuition
& a lot more!

Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.
We're guided on a whirlwind tour by a light being deva spirit on wheels who wields the energy that creates worlds within her eyes. She shows us:
How to discover and plant our own seeds with the right intent
How fasting can serve us well
What to do about "weeds" and "pests"
Introduces us to Durga - "the one who eliminates sufferings," slayer of our internal multi-headed demon who wields the sword of knowledge
The importance of "minding our soil" of the mind
And a special guest tarot card that brings it all together: 7 of swords
Questions you can ask the “weeds” and “pests” you’ve identified within your own mind:
What is your purpose here?
What is your role?
What gifts to you bring?
What are you reflecting back to me and my seed?
What is the course of action if any that would leave the least destruction and harm on all parties?
Is there an easier way to wholeness and wellbeing?
What would nature do without any pre-conditioned human interruption?
