| 98 READ THROUGH: Tower of Heaven 2 of 2 | 13 Jan 2026 | 00:46:06 | |
We’re continuing where we left off from the last podcast and having a straight read through of the RPG Tower of Heaven, a circa 2020 game about an ex-angel breaking into heaven about an ex-love. If you’ve ever loved supernatural stories that are cozy and at the same time heart wrenching, then this game and it’s prompts will be perfect for you! Sometimes we do need the realms of story and fictions to expound on what we feel, through borrow paints, and timelines expanded. This is direct read of the instructions of the game and i do read all 78 rooms of tower of heaven, each one a reinterpreted scape of the classical tarot deck. Feel free to pause at any parts/rooms that you like or even randomly shuffle through the audio. I hope you enjoy the Worlds I built back in 2020 as much as I do. This is part 2 of 2, of a coupled episode where the first episode is a sample playthrough of the game, where I play out the story of Kenneth. — Game link: https://mariabumby.itch.io/towerofheaven

| 97 PLAY THROUGH: Tower of Heaven 1 of 2 | 06 Jan 2026 | 00:31:19 | |
A new format for the new year! In this episode Maria plays through an old RPG game they wrote in 2020 about an ex-angel breaking into heaven about an ex-love. A story of liminality and symbol, we explore the space of Stories (a general one or a particular one) and how it can activate the untouched rooms of our psyche. This is part 1 of 2, of a coupled episode where the second episode will be a read through of all 78 rooms of tower of heaven, each one a reinterpreted scape of the classical tarot deck. For this play through, I tell the story of Kenneth a being of particular restriction and regret. — Game link: https://mariabumby.itch.io/towerofheaven Maria’s Gamedev Page: https://mariabumby.itch.io/ — We build the world into a kinder place by helping each other: If you appreciate this kind of work send tips here: paypal , You can support monthly here: patreon Book a session/Ask Questions!

| 88 Community Building STARTER Pack w Maria | 23 Jun 2025 | 00:53:11 | |
Community (and genuine connection) is touted as a cure-all to modern day isolation and rugged individualism — but how exactly do you go about doing that? Building that? Especially when we have limited time and resources, how does one create a bank of community that feels sustainable, aligned and real? In this solo-cast we go through two major parts: clarifying for ourselves why we might feel a shift into holding space for more people through a specific intention (part one), but also the pragmatic who what when where how often we create momentum in the connections you are making. If you want a convenient starter pack, this is the episode for you.

| 87 Archetype of the Ego/Persona/Ariez : Spring/Summer of 2025 | 13 Jun 2025 | 00:47:17 | |
Let’s get cracking on one of the most fundamental concepts in self-development: Self! What is it? What’s our baggage with the definitions of it? Why is it so paradoxically real and not-real? In this podcast we tackle what it means to rebirth and redefine, combing through the common hang-ups of interrogating the self, internally, as well as extrapolating the self externally in your lived manifest life. A lot of folks tend to have a pull to re-make and re-birth, during spring, or during wide tides of change, which the world has plenty. In this episode we take a two-pronged approach of simple-complex, internal-external, basic-paradoxical of considering how one really defines the seat of One’s Self. If this seems to be right time to listen to this then you’re surely invited.

| 86 WORDS and Sanctified Communications | 12 May 2025 | 00:52:59 | |
A focused solo-cast on everything mercurial: words, intention, sanctified communication and the very human sincerity of wanting to understand and to be understood. In this podcast ep Maria walks us through the common injuries of an injured throat chakra: whether it was your voice/words not being valued, or our inner storms/word-vomits being numb to it’s own powers. We go through very useful tips on how to tap the power of our VERY WORDS, and how to invoke intentions that help us receive, transmit, feel into what needs to be spoken, and the highest expression/music of our will, heart and soul’s intentions. If you always find that most of your issues are around communication or an aspect of the mind, this is the podcast for you. Covers:

85 ART TAMBAY: Creativity Acceptance & Community with Lilay and Kent Welcome to our first live audience podcast ep! In this episode, si Maria Lilay at Kent ay nagkwekwentuhan tungkol sa mga virtues ng creative process at papaano tayo nakakapagheal at learn kasama ng isang community. Located at @odangputikpotterystudio we talk about our own journeys around our creative practices (inner children, stepping out of capitalism), and how necessary it is to consciously cultivate a village especially when modernism leans towards isolationism & personal greed. If times are tough, if creativity and art feel can feel like a classist privilege, if community/totoong mga kasama feels optimized out of your life — then this might just be the podcast ep for you. An art tambay reminder na: di ka nagiisa and we can continue to keep re-making and remembering the abundance we have in each other.

| 84 Astral Remediation & Alchemy with Ice | 25 Apr 2025 | 01:33:04 | |
Another cafe episode drop! In this episode Maria and Ice walk through the highly underrated topic that is astral remediation, where tough/“hard” planets and aspects on one’s chart can be more supported ergo “remediated”. We go through popular malefic planets like saturn and mars, and go through houses with strong holistic health themes like 6H 12H 4H etc. We emphasize the uniqueness of each person in how they wield, work with and alchemize energies, and encourage folks to find outlets, and complimentary, sulit actions that will help you live out your best life. If you’ve always been frustrated with a chart imbalance or a tough chart placement, this episode is for you. PS: this pod has a bit of cafe BG noise and was recorded while flushed to an open exchange library, some taglish but remains legible to our international listeners :) Covers:

| 83 Grounding, Land Spirits, Belonging, how to do that in the Age of the Internet | 24 Mar 2025 | 01:12:05 | |
83 Grounding, Land Spirits, Belonging, how to do that in the Age of the Internet This one has been a long-time brewing: an episode on Land Spirits, (advanced!) grounding, and how can we really energetically and meaningfully engage on the internet? Topics might seem disparate at first glance, but so much of the integration needed these days are multi-faceted: our minds have access to so much information, our sense of belonging can be diasporic, fragmented, everywhere and all at once at the same time. What is “grounding” really in a very aquarian age, where information and your food and minerals come from all over the world? In this episode Maria dives through the nuances of basic to advanced conceptions of grounding, such as co-regulating with distant landforms, astrocartography and co-regulating with the bodys of the internet. This episode also comes with meditation/journey proper at the tail-end so it’s a very very! packed one hour. If you ever felt like it’s impossible to ground and be in touch with the land and spirit, in the age of the internet? this episode is for you. Covers:

Welcome to our first cafe-atmospheric podcast, we have a wonderful guest @jupitergrace sitting down with us and walking us through the primary roles, lessons and integrations of our Human Design (HD) Chart. An accessible system that combines, the iching, astrology and the body, Grace walks us through the main centers of our HD chart and what it really means to be closed/open in these specific aspects of our bodies. We also talk about our personal journeys between receptivity-directedness, self-acceptance amidst projectors, manifestors, generators and reflectors amidst generations and cultures — all while having cake! If you enjoy the picking out the nuances of these HD body energies, and what can it mean to your unique energy, boundaries, gifts and lessons then this is the podcast for you!

| 81Ancestral healing 101-201 Body Story Earths | 09 Mar 2025 | 00:59:50 | |
Back from a short break we have a solocast on one of the most underrated and quite frankly! misunderstood type of healing lineage. We often talk about ancestral healing, in the lens of our primary parental wounds, but this episode invites us into cultures, traditions and even concepts around land/minerals as A ancestor, to really make generous and wide our concept of family, ancestry and connection. The collective is the individual, the self/loob~kapwa is a porous chosen and surrendered thing. What does it mean to rectify themes of home/uwi/return, especially to the level of “here” and one’s own body/bodies? How do we arrive to inspired answers to these very important themes? We know what hasn’t worked, but how do we gather dreams and ways of being that includes more of us? The individuated cycle breaker but also the enduring new growth of roots and fresh soil? What is it to be really— an ancestor? Cover:

| 80 Ms. Saturn, Doughnut time & Figuring Out “When” We Are with Thea Custodio | 07 Feb 2025 | 01:58:14 | |
This one is a certified banger, we have the lowdown on an often vilified but potent planet: Ms. Saturn. Maria has invited the wonderful integrative astrologer, Thea of @soulsoiltlc to walk us through what it really means to have a Saturn Return, lessons, and the elemental aspects of it’s cosmic-stuff and phases. We cover somatic expressions of these energetic integrations and talk about the soupy time of Pisces in Saturn, Kairos vs Chronos, and why is it Really that time feels so weird lately? It’s easy to lug around the word “quantum”, but with this podcast we have mythic, dialectic-erotic!, and cheeky stories and images to really have you reckoning with grandfather time, and all it’s topsy-turviness. If you ever feel like you have a lot of work, activations or simply downright questions about the iconically “hard” teacher called saturn (or Growing Up) then this is the podcast for you. PS: some quips are in taglish but this is mostly legible to our non tagalog speaking listeners; also includes a gentle wash of geminid WIND and occasional lolo airplanes landing thru the recording Covers:

| 79 Chinese New Year & Crystal tips from MadebyKCA team | 22 Jan 2025 | 01:50:53 | |
Let’s talk about the year of the snake and the archetype of shedding. Themes of collaboration are coming up for the Chinese New Year, and it becomes important not only to be honest with ourselves with our own needs but to be lucidly clear with what we can expect and exchange in our various relationships. We also cover plenty of learnings with regards to relating to crystals: choosing quality over quantity, caring for our mineral companions, and allowing crystals to teach you when they emit certain qualities of alchemy, or even when they bend or break.
If you’re keen to learn about the astrology of 2025 from a Lunar/Chinese New year perspective and would love to learn about MadebyKCA and crystals in general then this is the episode for you! Note: this episode is mostly in tagalog / taglish Covers:

| 96 How to Listen to Your Intuition: Differentiating from Overthinking | 26 Dec 2025 | 00:17:33 | |
A relatively short but important podcast! In this episode we pick apart the different nature (or even orientation) of listening to Intuition versus Overthinking. For many, accessing the many depths and spiritual intelligences inside of us feels overly magickal, miraculous when it can surely be everyday, lived and embodied. In this episode, we walk through the capacities to discern but also drop into the well of intuition inside of us, a sure web and compass from our Soul and how to increasingly grow momentum and trust with it.

| 78 Domestic Magick & New Year Purging | 08 Jan 2025 | 00:57:55 | |
78 Domestic Magick & New Year Purging WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE NEW YEAR! Fresh from our little break we have a very conveniently timed episode: How to purge (the different ways of it), and How magick and wisdom is so available our everyday environment. Let me hang out with y’all as you reset for the new year, and how we so easily miss the present and blooming wisdom that can be right in front of our eyes. For a lot us, we can relegate spirit in only! specific places/practices that seem more “spiritual/holy”, not realizing the things that remind us of ourselves, and our very human sense of mastery is a sliver of grace that helps us access spirit! love! truth! Your personal frequency is available to you, you are It. If there’s anything to declutter, it is that which is the largest, looming and you know-it-already thing that you’ve ignored and put off that you’ve known for a long time would serve you really really well. It’s the start of the year! Season’s greetings! We speak and weave the same lessons in varying harmonies so enjoy.

| 77 Childlike Hope vs Adult Disappointment: Alchemy and an Exercise | 30 Nov 2024 | 01:00:10 | |
By the end of the year we usually take stock of the past, and meet maybe (with some disappointment and frustration!) the gap between our previous new year’s intentions, goals, and maybe our own personal expectations. The energy of innocence, hope, youth, dreams, vigour is something that will always co-exist and lie in contrast with the energy of salt, mud, wisened protection, aged bitterness, the rubber meeting the road. Maybe what’s stopping us from a real fresh start, or fresh feeling with life, is the closet of old dreams, deflated, when the wind, “was knocked right out of us” and just the nuanced history of hard things happening to us and around us, and our conscious self doing it’s best to “catch up” with ourselves and where we’re really at, alongside the truths in the dreams of where we want to be. This podcast ep covers an exercise that reviews not only gratitude of the past year, but the underlying more secret disappointments we have had, and considering if there are underlying patterns and themes of desire, wisdom, worldly truths that hold a larger realization, truth and meeting of where you really are right at this moment. This transcendent ‘knowing’ is tempered by the acceptance of the heart, but also acknowledging the true callings/desire of the will (A mind-heart-will resonance so to speak). Episode actually has ASMR-like quiet times for when we journal/write alongside each other. Hope this serves you well . For reference for folks following along Step 1 Write 10 disappointments/failures/things from the past year/the past in general
Step 2 Notice patterns from your list, are they usually around a certain theme? Is there an underlying real need from defeated dreams? Is there a pattern of lesson from the realizations? Which numbers feel like they’re more “loaded”/more baggage?
Step 3 Walk it out: what is the core truth of where you are at? the base of the tree? Shadow and light, rubber and road: digesting a transcendent and integrated truth: will (desires, dualities) heart (acceptance) and mind/soul (+transcendence). How do you feel?

| 76 Charm of Kandeladia: Her Journey and some basic Candle Magick | 12 Nov 2024 | 01:13:12 | |
For our second outdoor episode! hang out with Maria and Charm Aradia (@charmaradia the practitioner behind @kandeladia), and some park cats as we talk about Charm’s wisdom journey, and some basic invocation techniques. Charm has a lineage of closed practice, so what is disclosed is a curious peek into a muddy, elemental and rooted practice that is not only local but is also respectful of the sensual and the transitions of ash/death. Very hilarious park-events-bonus-only-done-in-live recordings happen and I can assure you that if you want a very easeful talk, that speaks frankly but also directly about the mystical experience (especially with intention candles!) then this is a must listen for you.

| 75 Library of Interest: Book-Wisdom body Recommendations | 30 Oct 2024 | 01:32:33 | |
A long overdue episode! Maria takes everyone on a tour of books, lineages and wisdom bodies that are good foundational starting points for spiritual practice. We cover the major categories of: Personal Development, Psyche Adjacent, Spiritual, Podcasts and Special Mentions to present a wide base of development that is most appropriate and integrative for every person/soul. Maria basically does a really good synthesis of each lineage mentioned, and “contraindications” of why something may not “work” for a certain person in their specific path. Wisdom is something that is very difficult to steal from you and has a very prescient form in one’s energy, if you need something to gift to loved ones (including yourself) consider this a holiday list.

| 74 Mushrooms and Nourishment w/ Jilly Lovegood of Earth Violet Apothecary | 17 Oct 2024 | 01:31:01 | |
In this episode of Integrated Awakenings we have a Philippine functional mushroom pioneer Jilly Lovegood talking to us about her relationship with nourishment, and trusting synchronicities to manifest access to wild, ethically sourced, and the heart aligned business that she has today. She walks us through her unique experiences of sharing a lot of food wisdom during the height of the pandemic, as well as some more familiar experiences around Ayahausca, dream downloads and discerning the integration and call to spirit. Jillian has a steadying patience and quiet willingness to show up for what would be “muddy” work, that might be just the assurance you need during chaotic times.

| 72 Life’s Cycles and Rhythms | 10 Sep 2024 | 00:59:27 | |
Hot off the press we’ve got a very important solo-cast with Maria: talking about Life Transitions and the cycles of time. A lot of folks have a lot of tangled up grief and emotions around transitions: from being a child to a teenager, to what does adulthood even mea? what and where are the elders supposed to look like, why even bother looking forward to aging? The thing is most of these life cycles, are paradoxically, not going to change! They are an eternal constant, visible in the iching, the tarot, the way seeds are planted, grown, fruit and are replanted again. To think in terms of rhythms and cycles is also to be attuned to the natural breath of the universe, no matter what society, situation or problem you may have. If anything it’s what’s always been there so why not we have a listen? This episode doesn’t have much of an outline but key terms are:

| 71 Energetic Body Anatomy 201 | 28 Aug 2024 | 01:08:07 | |
In this new solocast on Integrated Awakenings, we have Maria walking us through a new way of thinking about the energetic body. Instead of thinking of chakras specifically or thinking of auric layers, we talk about the major systems that make up and fuel our energetic body, referenced and synthesizing multiple energetic body systems. We talk about major considerations with: natal energy, land/ecosystem energy, relationship energy, the “pregnant” energy of projects and intentions. If you are someone involved in bodywork or simply want to have an integrative and energetic view of what “feeds” your system, then this podcast is sure to be some food for thought.

| 70 “I 'm Feeling Violent” w/ Vicky Marquez | 13 Aug 2024 | 02:14:03 | |
Have you ever felt a violence possess you and felt overwhelmed, bad, unacceptable? let’s Unpack that. In this juicily thorough episode we have Vicky Marquez, a great thinker and friend to walk us through why is it really that we feel uncomfortable about power, justice, gender, oppression and all manners of Systemic Violences, and what it has to do with both our personal and collective healing. We touch topics both personal and collective, around neurodivergence upto violence portrayed/normalized in genre/gendered media and arrive at such vast viewpoints with how to consider feeling so viciously violent.💥 As usual, we weave healing themes around spiritual lineages, philippine context and catholicism and just very accessible skill-issue pa-“tool-kit” that helps anyone re-orient and even become a splendid ally to any feelings that have extra teeth.

| 69 Azaza: Releasing the Guilt Around Privilege and Other Hard Conversations | 01 Aug 2024 | 01:26:29 | |
Hello and welcome to a thorny banger! This is honestly a very tricky topic to discuss as most folks can have a lot of built-up trauma around money, systemic power struggles, and perceptions with income classes that’s just got it good. As much as spirituality and Love steeps all things, very “societal” constructs: like classism and privilege are these very real karmic-imprints/thought-forms/collectively-shared-baggage that can’t be just philosophized away but is something that needs to be seen with utmost clarity, compassion and alchemy. A very human integration to say, spiritual experience.
Consider this podcast episode a primer to reflecting about one’s own privilege, how that shows up “karmically” for different folks, and how money-position-power can be something that is wielded with utmost compassion (while also clearing the imprints of how previous owners of these things, or nakagawian/nakasanayan ways of doing things) can also really offer a giant shift and deep deep freedom.
This ep is partially in taglish!, some cussing too ANNOUNCEMENT: The podcast will be also be releasing every other week now to give more space to collaborate with guests and to sustain the depth and quality of our episodes. If y’all noticed some of the recent episodes released are also longer! (upto 2hours!) so do know we want to offer long-term value to our community and thus the change of pace :)

If you ever feel like your end of year ruminations need to process not just the past years, but the past several years (and larger cylces) then you’re not alone. Time is fudgy! And there are a lot of concepts, assumptions and expectations we bake into how things end (or don’t end), or how things tie up and awkwardly transition into things you notice happening (or don’t notice! happening at all). Join the conversation with Maria and Anna as they walk through the cyclical in between of being between eras and grief, and yielding to heart that both Knows (and maybe doesn’t need to know). Listen in :) Note: Episode has significant tagalog as kwento/chika/storytelling

It’s been a while since we had a magick episode so let’s do comeback with a banger: Let’s Interrogate What Really Is The Source of Magick, and what is really holding you back from having an infinite tap to it? Is it a thing you buy off the shelf? Something specially gifted? Something unconditionally and totally faced? Are we sapped of it by the dredges of bad thought-loops, and vampiric societal assumptions? What does it really mean to be aligned with your magick or to become magickal?

| 64 INTERMODAL: Creative process as Spiritual Discipline continued | 31 May 2024 | 01:04:43 | |
Continuing an old series (since feb pa!) — the creative process as spiritual discipline. In this episode we’re talking about how to feel very enabled and liberated to translate our curiosities and creativities in between creative mediums and expressions. We’ll talk about how that might just bust you out of a creative rut, and also activate parts of you that have felt dormant or under stimulated and raring to be expressed and wonderfully integrated. We also walk ourselves through some simple processes and frameworks that would help enable us to straddle different modes of creativity easefully and talk about cool prompts and questions that would help frame this creativity as a spiritual process within itself.
If you tend to have all the hobbies, or are wildly interested in different things and trying to make sense of your multi-faceted creative spirit, then this is the podcast for you! If on the other hand, you’re still kind of wading through the idea of trying vastly different things and mediums, then this is STILL the podcast for you (HAHA).

| 62 Self-authenticity, acceptance and radical Self-allyship | 07 May 2024 | 00:54:19 | |
I CANT BELIEVE I HAVEN’T HAD AN EPISODE ON THIS. In this ep of Integrated Awakenings Maria covers a few unexpected examples of how spirits/god/love “sees you” and your truth. Often times, a radical self-knowing and acceptance, is cushioned with out accountability, or the emphasis of being able to advocate your gifts and your work. Maria covers the necessary labor of coming into really knowing oneself, and finding the language of temperance to meaningfully participate in the world around you. They also cover some recent collective initiations around the HARA-it’s potent shadows, as well as being able to temper it’s teethful strength with the heart of the maiden-empress. (taurus scorp axis). If you’ve been needing to resource and root back to yourself lately then this is the ep.

| 61 Forgiving Your Parents and Second Adulthood | 30 Apr 2024 | 01:17:19 | |
In this solo-cast of Integrated Awakenings, we’ll be covering very useful developmental concepts with regards to how and why parents seem to be such a source of disappointment, trauma and unhealthy patterns we bring even to old age. Is adulthood always marked by this loss of innocence? Does anybody ever really grow up? What if our parents still act like children, what grief is that now? This episode offers a spiritual dimension to the natural projection and individuation of the psyche, and how our early symbols of divine mother/father/parent/love always have a fall from grace when we realize their very present humanity. If you find yourself dealing trapped in cyclical parental dynamics (from any end), or meeting the grief of adulthood, then this episode will surely offer you holistic insight. Covers:

| 60 Nix on East Asian Shamanism and questions about questions | 23 Apr 2024 | 01:57:38 | |
In this new podcast episode we have as our guest, Nix, a practicing korean folk-shaman and anthropologist sitting us down and easefully combing for us the core differences in thinking around western and eastern mystical-spiritual practices. We have a holistic discussion on how western philosophy may relate to things via pictures (the snapshot of a situation - eg: a tarot spread) versus the dynamic and relational philosophy of taoist-confuscian-shamanic iching reading of the same situation. ( a moving picture, eg: fengshui, an iching cast). In this episode she also shares some of her unique practices, as someone who has grown up in the Philippines and is also a considered a “feminine” practitioner of “masculine” disciplines/texts, AS WELL AS other significant practices such as exorcisms, numerology, dream interpretation and modernizations of these practices and more. If you’ve ever felt confused by traditional chinese medicine, want to reconnect to the energies and general philosophies that are the bedrock of east asian mysticism and medicine then this is a great place to start! (A good grasp of western tarot though would be best) I can also vouch that nix emits such a grounded and clear state of being that was such a joy to be able to share with the rest of the audience. Please enjoy! PS: this is in taglish, also we talk slightly fast with dense info so feel free to pause very generously

This is not a podcast ep! THIS IS A POWERFUL SESSION. In this episode we have Maya Banawa conducting a healing ceremony for Maria’s voice, intuitively feeling into, and sharing her process of guiding people into unlocking their authentic voice. For this session, what was released were warrior chantings, ancestral rememberings, child embracings — and meanderings around frogcroaks and what is really considered “a bad romance”. If you feel like you are drawn to creatively express and heal via your voice, AND/OR you want to listen into the navel root songs of a warrior heart tribes arriving, then this is the podcast in you. Our authentic soul’s music, invites your soul’s music too. (PS: maria considers this part of creativity as spiritual discipline series: this is a demo for song and sound) Covers:

| 58 Puki Maanawhari: Philippine Babaylan Lineage and Indigenous Experience | 02 Apr 2024 | 01:32:39 | |
In this very special episode we have Puki Maanawhari, a punong babaylan (with 11 years of experience) residing in metro manila, binabaylan mother of the coven of modern babaylan and alabays (babaylan in training) and very important resource with regards to babaylang history and experience. We cover very important and a wide range of topics with regards to babaylan terminology, initiation, their traumatic history, it’s accessibility, and it’s aesthetic appropriation in the arts and in queer terminology. This is a very candid approach with regards to having a working relationship with land spirits, rituals, and the realities of guarding a closed practice. If you are any type of healer, in the process of decolonization, and/or simply curious about the lineage/culture of magick that is held by the babaylan in the philippines and south east asia then this is a must-listen for you. As this is an often marginalized culture, I would like to personally request listeners to come to this with an open and receptive energy, as well as to be a respectful advocate of indigenous healing practices, cultures and who and what is considered “babaylan” vis a vis terms like “shaman” “energy healer” etc. This ep covers:

In the second installment of creative process as spiritual discipline we talk about somatics and dancing! The podcast gives a brief overview of mystery traditions that relate to ecstatic release and cultures of movement in communities. We then segway to artistic containers and explorations, of authentic movement, allowing dance (and a bit of theater) to alchemize experiences that can be often so hard to verbalize. Maria traces the mechanics of why bodywork, curiosity and awareness is important and translates what an everyday, allied relationship with the body can look like and how to easefully get there. If you've always been interested with dancing, and exploring the creative dimension of the body to further integrate and enable so much potent healing work, than this is the episode for you.

| 55 Jenelle: Mutli-soul Theory, Multi-Faceted, DID, and Expanded Notions of Being | 05 Mar 2024 | 01:16:13 | |
In this very special episode we’ve got not one! But TWO people talking about what it’s like to live a life as a multi-soul (they/themz) magnificence, and what’s the deal on how it is similiar and dissimilar to queerness, neurodivergence, DID (dissociative identity disorder), parts work/internal family systems and just overall! expanded notions of being. So many spiritual circles keep interrogating a singular self — when a lot of local cultures (we talk about this in podcast) have such a multiple/twinned notions of our spirits and we’re really here to weave prod and walk around with you other definitions of existing in a singular body. We talk about how personalities fissure in trauma, how they synergize, how walk-ins happen and just what it’s like to live an authentic, and TOTALLY fractaled self. I am personally so grateful for the space Janelle has held for me in being totally comfortable in authenticity, so I really hope y’all enjoy the stories and insights we share in this podcast. Sidenote: This podcast has key sections that are in tagalog. For international listeners I feel like this is still mostly! accessible with context clues.

| 54 Azaza/Brialanae: On Kink, Consent and Shared Power | 26 Feb 2024 | 01:10:38 | |
This has to be one of my favorite podcasts ever and one I’ve wanting to talk about for so long we talk about: kink, consent, a lot of sexual healing via such “lower” chakra practices. We talk about sex as an energy, as creativity, as about control, power, release and we cover even a few sacramental practices with regards to offering sexual/jing energy and the like. We also relate the rituals of learning consent, actually sitting down and sifting through our desires, and many modes of constant checking-in and considerations done to make any kind of kinky or even emotionally vulnerable space — safer and more enjoyable! (Maria relates this to games, and art making being more safety process oriented). Azaza also shares key radicalizations in terms of really realizing what power is, inside of relationships. THIS IS A MUST LISTEN, to anyone who like sex, relationship and any kind of play, do let us know what y’all pick up from this!

They have physical health challenges as a long-time healer and thus have a relatable, and refreshing take on simple intentions, to amplify and transform your life.

| 51 Decolonization, Intersectional Privilege and Healing Collectives | 06 Feb 2024 | 00:55:07 | |
Decolonization, Intersectional Privilege and Healing Collectives A lot of people encounter healing via personal development or simply trying to relieve their own suffering. Where that is so powerful, just as powerful is also being able to speak about group stories, histories, and collective experiences, to feel in belonging with, solidarity with, and healing with a group. Wether it’s from imperial history, sexism, ableism, it can be very fruitful for everyone to have a lens of intersectional privilege/rank, to really allow us to digest and integrate the realities of healing but also meeting life sometimes face to face, and other times, with our face to the dirt. This episode also covers some considerations and techniques when translating, shifting concepts (that is increasing our native tolerance) — that are commonly used for individual healing into speaking and leading processes for possibly smaller and larger groups. In many ways the task of caring for the world, is a world level work, in the same way the community takes care of the commons. We hope that everyone feels like they can engage with group stories, histories with more grace after listening to this very potent podcast. Covers:

| 93 For Me but Maybe For You Too with Kat of CutieSexyLonely | 11 Nov 2025 | 01:15:52 | |
There’s a specific energy speaking with Kat about the willingness to really root down and feel the very life and experiences that you’ve had. In this episode, we have @cutiesexylonely, artist and dear ARMY friend of mine, sit down to chat with us about a deep acceptance of ourselves, our own process, and the cheeky fun ways more desires and love can come crashing in our lives. We talk about very aries-eque tendencies of heightened emotions, but also instincts for the truth of things or how to align to things.

| 47 Elemental Beings: how to think about & work with them | 17 Jan 2024 | 01:08:06 | |
Hi and welcome to a special solo-cast of Integrated Awakenings, we're tackling something quite niche in this one and will be talking about how one thinks about and interfaces with the elemental realms, or what shaman's would call the "lower realms". A lot of the beings often categorized here is left towards, occultist horror stories, or studied/viewed from a cultural lens instead of direct experience. In this episode maria expresses a direct take of why certain classes of elementals behave in certain ways, and how to have a positive respectful experience from them. If you want to consider a compassionate take on the supernatural and real empathy with what are usually called "lower" beings, then this is the episode for you. Covers:

| 46 Ancestral Shrines and Healing: defining family for yourself | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:56:26 | |
In this solo-cast of Integrated Awakenings, Maria tackles a very important topic of the energetics of ancestral healing. We hear a lot about generational curses but don't have a wider view of how ancestral shrines, energy forms, really work and exactly how and why it's important to situate yourself a definition (or often the redefinition of) what family really means to you. We are so influenced by relationships, a piercing towards ontological truths of these relations influence, grow, and define us is fundamental to feeling truly whole. If you have any kind of tense relations with family members (living or not, this life or an other) this episode will definitely serve you as a much needed space and clarifying perspective with how to go about connections.

| 45 Curating your Reality with Miqo Dionisio | 02 Jan 2024 | 01:08:21 | |
First episode of 2024 we've got a guest episode with Miqo Dionisio, a very potent coach, corporate creative leader, energy healer, and artist friend of mine who is joining us today to talk to us about curating our realities. He'll walk us through a 3 question framework to get to the heart of what is stopping us from having what we want, and how to even expand the desire-state from a place of deep and true abundance. If you've ever desired (*wink wink*) a very grounded approach to investigate your new year goals, or any kind of planning, hatching, seeding it is you will ever do, I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen.

| 44 Maria's Awakening Journey pt.2 | 07 Dec 2023 | 01:08:38 | |
As the closing episode for 2023 we're doing a recap of some key turning points maria has gone through the past year. I know a lot of folks like ep.3 of this podcast, story time of what Maria has gone through, so consider this as it's natural continuation. If you're a schtickler for chronology go listen to ep.3 so folks can have some context for this one. ALSO! as per usual maria has very odd experiences as a dreamwalking bananacake, I really just want to emphasize that this is my experience and is not superior/more important than yours! Just my story to tell, in earnest ways, and off value to be able to sit beside other's stories and be like "hey yea i got some odd stuff happen to me too". Luckily, it's also just energetically educational. TW: wars, trauma, sexual abuse Covers: - what happens when you run out of karma? - no biases against tension or attachment, pendulum swings of existence, integration - 12-15d time wars, abuse - Death of Magick, magickal lines, death doula - Timeline where i was the perpetrator - Reparations, building your heart from scratch - Transitioning my grandfather, an aspect of saturn, preserving etheric temples - Astrocartography restructuring, remediations to be released from saturn and work with more community - Notes for spiritual bodies work: (1) completely disengaging umbilica from egregors of companies, groups, your own spiritual body, return to neutral (2) body mastery is optional but is a fun tantric integration - Deep gratitude to coop, and they also want to say hi!
