The Summit Effect

Alanna Crawford

Forme & Santé

Religion & Spiritualité

Fréquence : 1 épisode/10j. Total Éps: 27

This podcast explores the space between physical anatomy and energetic intuition — where healing becomes something you actively participate in, not something done to you. Hosted by Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and Reiki Master Teacher, Alanna Crawford, The Summit Effect teaches you how to understand your body, trust your intuition, and reclaim your power in your own health journey and beyond. This isn’t about being “more spiritual” or chasing perfection — it’s about learning to SHOW UP as the truest expression of yourself and letting the ripple of that change everything.

Its Never Just Yoga - With Aneta Pietruszko

jeudi 25 juin 2026 • Durée 48:03

In this episode, we welcome the very first guest to The Summit Effect: my dear friend, Aneta Pietruszko, owner of Burlington Power Yoga Canada and co-owner of Soulfull Yoga and Wellness Retreats.

Aneta's journey didn't begin in a yoga studio. It began in the corporate world, where anxiety and panic attacks became the breadcrumbs that ultimately led her toward a completely different life. Together, we explore how our bodies often speak long before our minds are ready to listen, why movement can become medicine, and how healing isn't always something that happens on a treatment table. This conversation is about the science of nervous system regulation, the spirituality of following your intuition, and the many forms that energy work can take. Whether you've ever rolled out a yoga mat or not, this episode is an invitation to notice the breadcrumbs your own life has been leaving for you.

In this episode:

The difference between success on paper and feeling aligned in your life
How yoga became more than exercise—it became a pathway back to herself
What it feels like to hold space for hundreds of people in a yoga class
The many ways people process emotion through movement
How teaching yoga is a form of energy work
Why Reiki helped expand—not create—Aneta's understanding of healing
How music, intention, and presence can change the energy of a room
The art of creating playlists
Community as medicine
Learning to trust the breadcrumbs that continue to guide us throughout life

Summit takeaway: Your life rarely changes because of one big moment. More often, it changes because you finally decide to follow the breadcrumbs your body has been leaving for you all along.

What Happens During Reiki? Stories, Signs, and the Sessions That Stayed With Me

Épisode 22

mercredi 17 juin 2026 • Durée 35:58

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on Reiki. What actually happens in a session? How does energy communicate? Why do some sessions feel deeply emotional while others create profound shifts in direction, purpose, and healing? I shares stories from real sessions that have stayed with me over the years, explore the role of free will in energy work, and explain why Reiki is less about being "read" and more about remembering how to listen to yourself again. This is a conversation about healing, intuition, grief, love, trust, and the limitless potential of reconnecting with your own energy.

In this episode:

What Reiki actually is (and what it isn't)
Why energy workers often don't remember sessions afterward
The difference between "doing healing" and facilitating healing
Why participation and integration matter in energy work
Reiki, chakras, auras, and energetic communication
The role of free will in intuitive and mediumship work
Ethical boundaries in energy work and spiritual practice
How spirit communication can support healing when invited
The importance of approaching energy work with humility, reverence, and curiosity

Summit takeaway:
"Your guides can only lead you where you're willing to go." Reiki isn't about someone else having your answers. It's about clearing enough noise that you can hear your own.

The Summit Method: The Question Beneath The Symptom

Épisode 21

mercredi 10 juin 2026 • Durée 19:51

In this episode, I introduce one of the foundational concepts behind The Summit Method: the idea that healing is not determined by what you choose, but by why you choose it. We explore the difference between operating from faith versus fear, how those two states influence every layer of healing, and why awareness may be the missing piece for so many people who feel stuck in cycles of symptoms, frustration, and uncertainty.

In this episode:
The question that changed how I think about healing
Why most people focus on the "what" instead of the "why"
The difference between faith, trust, and fear
The four layers of The Summit Method
How fear can disguise itself as healing
Why awareness is often the first step toward transformation
Perimenopause as an example of fear-driven versus faith-driven healing
A simple 7-day practice to identify whether fear or trust is driving your decisions

Summit takeaway: “Maybe you're not making the wrong choices. Maybe you're making the right choices from the wrong place.”

How To Get To Where You Are Going When You Have No Idea Where To Start

jeudi 4 juin 2026 • Durée 24:28

Have you ever felt like you know something needs to change, but you have absolutely no idea what that change is?

Maybe you're feeling stuck, disconnected, frustrated, or simply aware that your current life no longer feels aligned—but every time you try to figure out your next step, you become overwhelmed by how big the change feels.

In this episode, we're talking about one of the most common questions I hear in clinic:

"I know I want something different... but I don't know where to start."

We'll explore why your nervous system often keeps you searching for certainty, how overwhelm can lead to freeze and avoidance, and why clarity rarely arrives through more thinking.

Instead, it comes through surrender.

I also share one of my favourite practices from Marianne Williamson's A Return to Love—the Four Questions—a simple but powerful tool that has helped me navigate some of the biggest decisions of my life.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why feeling stuck is often a sign of disconnection, not failure
The difference between wanting change and knowing what change to make
How overwhelm activates the nervous system and creates freeze responses
Why we cannot jump from fear to gratitude overnight
Finding relief and courage as the next emotional step
What surrender actually means (and what it doesn't)
The physiology of surrender and nervous system regulation
Why intuition is easier to access when the body feels safe
The connection between stillness, creativity, and clarity
Marianne Williamson's Four Questions practice
How guidance actually arrives in everyday life
The role of trust, action, and co-creation in personal growth
Why fear keeps us attached to outcomes—and how to move through it

Remember:

You do not need to fix your entire life today.

Working With Astrology In Real Time

Épisode 19

jeudi 28 mai 2026 • Durée 25:53

In this episode, we unpack astrology in a way that feels far less overwhelming and a lot more human. Instead of treating every moon phase like a deadline or a 24-hour portal you can “miss,” we explore astrology as a slow unfolding pattern that moves through your life in seasons. We walk through the energetic progression from Aries season into Taurus season and now into Gemini season, and how each sign builds on the last emotionally, energetically, and practically.

We also break down the difference between sun sign seasons, new moons, and full moons in a grounded and digestible way — including why the new moon is like the “final exam” of the season, and why full moons act more like flashlights illuminating what still needs attention.

Plus, we dive into the upcoming Sagittarius full moon and why it may be bringing radical honesty to the surface.

In this episode:

Why astrology is meant to be worked with slowly, not perfectly
Aries season, anger, shadow work, and the “fire” of spring
Taurus season and grounding big ideas into reality
Gemini season and how communication creates momentum
The difference between sun sign seasons, new moons, and full moons
Why the new moon is like the “final exam” of the season
How astrology helps us recognize patterns and participate more consciously in our lives

My summit takeaway:
You are not behind.
These seasons move through us slowly.
Astrology is here to help you notice yourself more clearly.

Shadow Work, Rage & The Liver: Why This Season Feels So Intense

Épisode 18

jeudi 14 mai 2026 • Durée 27:04

In this episode, we’re diving into shadow work: what the shadow actually is, why it forms, and how it quietly influences our reactions, relationships, triggers, and patterns behind the scenes.

We talk about why shadow work is not about “fixing” yourself or locking away the messy parts of who you are. Instead, it’s about understanding the pieces of yourself that were buried, suppressed, or pushed out of awareness because at some point they didn’t feel safe to express.

I also break down why I’m seeing so much anger and emotional reactivity in clinic right now through the lens of both shadow work and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This episode explores:

What the “shadow” actually means
How childhood conditioning shapes the parts of ourselves we suppress
Why anger is often a protective emotion rather than the root emotion
The connection between triggers, projection, resentment, and the subconscious
How shadow patterns become automatic behaviors over time
Why not all shadows are “dark” (sometimes we suppress confidence, success, visibility, or power)
How shadow work can help you understand recurring emotional patterns and self-sabotage
Journal prompts and tools to begin your own shadow work practice

This is a conversation about awareness, nervous system protection, emotional suppression, and the healing that happens when we stop abandoning the parts of ourselves we were taught to hide.

Books/resources mentioned:

Entering The Castle by Caroline Myss
The Wheel of Emotions
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Acupuncture + seasonal healing practices

The Pause Between Worlds

Épisode 17

mercredi 6 mai 2026 • Durée 33:45

In this episode, I’m sharing from a place that is very real and very present for me. After suddenly losing my dog Tucker—I’ve found myself in a space where I’m not fully in the grief, but I’m also not back to normal life.

So instead of forcing an episode I wasn’t aligned with, I wanted to talk about that in-between… the pause.

We unpack what it means when your body and nervous system aren’t ready to process something yet, and why that isn’t something to rush. I share both the physiological and energetic perspective on this state, and how it actually serves a purpose in healing.

I also talk about a tool I’m currently using—expressive writing, based on the work of James W. Pennebaker—and how putting experiences into words helps the brain begin to organize what feels overwhelming.

This is a conversation about honoring your own timeline, understanding the difference between avoidance and readiness, and allowing healing to unfold without forcing it.

In this episode:
The sudden loss of Tucker and the impact he had on the clinic and healing space
Why grief isn’t just about loss—and the many ways it can show up
The nervous system’s pause state and the Freeze response
What happens in the brain when experiences aren’t fully processed

Amygdala and threat detection
Prefrontal cortex and meaning-making
Why unprocessed experiences can feel like they’re still running in the background
Expressive writing and how it helps “close the loop” in the nervous system
The difference between suppression vs. not being ready
Reiki, energy work, and the concept of healing without timelines
Reflections on mediumship, intuition, and ego in readings

Summit takeaway:
“You don’t have to heal it today. You just have to stay connected enough to yourself that when you’re ready—you can.”

Why Music Can Heal You… or Keep You Stuck

Épisode 16

jeudi 23 avril 2026 • Durée 24:37

In this episode, we dive into the science and soul of music as a healing tool. What starts as a curiosity about goosebumps from music (aka frisson) turns into a deeper conversation about the nervous system, memory, and how sound can both regulate you or keep you stuck. We explore how music is stored in the brain, why certain songs bring you back to specific moments in your life, and how your body responds to rhythm on a physiological level. This is a conversation about how music interacts with your nervous system — and how to use it intentionally as part of your healing process.

In this episode:

What frisson is and why some people experience goosebumps from music
The connection between frisson, HRV, and nervous system regulation
Why feeling “stuck” can limit access to pleasure and emotional experiences
How music is stored in the brain through the hippocampus (memory) and amygdala (emotion)
Autobiographical memory recall — why music brings you back to past versions of yourself
The “good” side of music: regulation, connection, and emotional access
The “not-so-helpful” side: how music can reinforce stress, heartbreak, or old patterns
What an amygdala hijack is and how music can trigger it
How music therapy is used to retrain emotional responses in the brain
Rhythmic entrainment and how your body syncs to sound
Music in neurological rehab (Parkinson’s, stroke, speech, and movement)
Osteopathic principles and the body’s inherent rhythm
Frequency healing — what the research says vs. what we assume
Binaural beats, low-frequency vibration, and nervous system effects
Why music is not passive — it’s something your body is constantly responding to

The Problem With Data-Only Healing

Épisode 15

mercredi 15 avril 2026 • Durée 29:21

In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest gaps in modern healthcare: the lack of space for subjectivity in a system built on measurement. We explore what data does incredibly well, where it starts to fall short in healing, and why your lived experience, nervous system, and intuition are forms of information that deserve to be considered. This is a conversation about science, subjectivity, and what happens when we only validate what we can quantify.

In this episode:
Why science is designed to remove subjectivity — and why that matters
What data and Western medicine do exceptionally well (acute care, emergency medicine, safety, standardization)
The difference between staying alive and actually feeling well
Why healing is layered and harder to measure than survival
The “dangerous leap” — equating “hard to measure” with “not real”
Neuroplasticity as an example of science evolving beyond previous limits
The history of stress as “soft science” and its now undeniable impact on the body
The gut-brain axis: not new, but rediscovered through modern science
How medicine shifted from holistic to reductionist with advancements in measurement
Why older forms of “data” (clinical observation, lived experience) were deprioritized
HVLA training and the concept of “gold standard” research
Safety vs effectiveness in research and education

Summit takeaway: “You are not a statistic. Your experience is data — even if it doesn’t fit into a study.”

If this episode resonated, share it with someone who might need it.

Stop Asking When — Start Becoming Who It Requires

mercredi 1 avril 2026 • Durée 21:53

In this episode, we unpack a pattern I’ve been seeing more and more in sessions: the desire for certainty without participation. We talk about why readings are meant to be mirrors, not instructions, and how constantly asking “when” can actually keep you stuck. This is a conversation about nervous system familiarity, capacity, identity, and why the universe gives you breadcrumbs instead of the full picture. And how to start working with that in a way that is grounded, empowering, and rooted in self-trust rather than outsourcing your next move.

In this episode:
The shift from asking for guidance to asking for guarantees
The desire for outcomes without discomfort, identity shift, or behaviour change
Free will and why the universe requires your participation
Breadcrumbs vs. big answers — how guidance actually shows up
Why you won’t be given the “one thing” if you haven’t used what you’ve already received
Patterning in the body, behaviour, and perception
When you stop needing readings — walking the path vs asking for it
Introduction to thought + emotion pairing (inspired by Joe Dispenza)
A step-by-step example: creating alignment for a new job

Summit takeaway:
“Stop asking when it’s coming — start becoming someone who’s ready to hold it when it does.”
