Don't be afraid. Open wide the doors to your life. 

In this final episode of Season 4, I share with you a synchronistic -- and recent -- story about two very special crystals of mine that broke on the same day, and the flood of teachings that poured forth from them.

One was repaired with no loss of integrity.

The other had come to the end of its journey and gave up the ghost.

One taught me about wholeness and eternity. The other taught me about breaking from the past and dying into the future.

Both shared their wisdom about breaking open and making even more space to be filled with more energy and light than I thought I could handle.

They showed me I could be cracked and even broken and still be whole and complete.

They reminded me not to wait to dream, and to take the steps I could take NOW to realize the biggest Vision of my life.

They inspired me to open wide the doors to my home, my heart, and my Being to receive infinite grace and blessings pouring to me, through me, out into the world, and to surrender to the natural law of expansion before I was ready.

Listen, and understand.

When we're going through the most challenging times of our lives, we have a huge opportunity to discover Wholeness. 

The last year has been such a challenge for me. 

Up against my deepest fears and most entrenched limiting beliefs -- by conscious choice -- I've been living where the rubber meets the road.

But this is where we really encounter the Point of Power within ourselves, because we have to.

Today I tell you the story of being brought back against my will to the property I thought we had sold after the deal fell through at the last minute,

Seemingly unable to move forward, find closure, or put something new into motion -- not to mention the absurdity of moving every stick of furniture and box back in the direction from whence it came -- I was initially frustrated, but mostly afraid of the big 'I can't' that welled up in me.

I wanted to run away. From memories, from pain, from responsibilities.

Then I saw that the house was me, and the situation was a metaphor, a mirror teaching me to let go, to open, to dissolve the primal fear of insufficiency from the place of Wholeness within myself.

To stay. Not run away. To trust the Self within the self, and my innate ability to merge with It.

And to discover that the Sacred Intimacy of Wholeness was what I had always longed for... and what we all long for.

It was teaching me to come Home to the Self within myself to know the Wholeness that heals all ills and provides all solutions.

You can do it too. It's our destiny.

The best thing to do when Life is purifying you is to surrender. Or... add fuel to the fire.

Purification is a necessary and natural process on the spiritual path.

But it burns.

How do you know you’re being purified?

It’s often through a series of deaths, losses, and endings. It stirs deep questioning and even brings us face to face with our mortality, and what we’ve made of our time on Earth.

Are you getting it? Or are you missing the point?

Purification can be likened to an encounter with a fire-breathing dragon that guards the treasure we seek.

We must gird ourselves to face our fear of being incinerated -- reduced to a pile of ash -- and walk through the fire. 

Purification is called tapas in yoga and translates as 'heat' or 'austerity'. It's how life strips us of our familiar bearings and burns away everything that isn't our True Self.

It is a kind of death.

The question is, can we withstand the pressure that we undergo during purification? Or will we cling to the false self as the only one we've ever known? Do we choose to stand -- perhaps alone -- in radical truth? Or bury ourselves even deeper in illusion out of fear?

Sooner or later, we have to choose whether to step into Destiny or succumb to fate. 

So, who's with me?

Forgiveness can free us from reactive patterns that prevent us from gleaning true wisdom from an experience.

Instead of running to the opposite extreme in reaction to a hurt we’ve suffered in order to avoid being hurt again, we can learn to expand and to grow in love. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong and spiritually mature.

So, how do we forgive the deepest hurts? The ones that feel so personal. How do we deal with the deepest wounds and the things that seem unforgivable, even diabolical?

This is where the rubber meets the road, spiritually speaking.

In this episode, I'll share with you a proposition that can enable you to forgive anything.  Plus, you'll learn:

• to embrace the possibility that absolutely everything that has ever happened to you was for your highest good 
• to recognize the evidence in your own life that we live in a benevolent universe that is always FOR us and never against us
• how you stand in your own way and block the good that's attempting to reach you

I'll also share a powerful question you can ask to flip the script on any situation and instantly enlarge your perspective and empower yourself.

And I give you an experiment you can commit to for a specified period of time that can transform your relationship with the most painful wounds of your life.

In an unconscious relationship, you're always working on the other person. In a conscious, ethical relationship, you're always working on yourself.

In today's episode of The Grace Space, I share what I've learned from two 'failed' marriages about what really destroys trust and intimacy.

It's not what you did -- it's why you did it.

And the fact that, most likely, you have no idea.

When we're unconscious, we're unreliable. Our feelings, decisions and choices arise from murky inner drives about which we are clueless.

Instead of relating to others from pure love, we tend to engage in control dramas driven by the unresolved past in us.

We can easily get lost in cyclic attempts to alleviate our (often subconscious) fears and insecurities by subtly or overtly manipulating others to get our emotional needs met. 

This leads to suffering.

As we become more conscious, we gain the courage to take a fearless inner inventory and question our true motivations. 

What is the deeper purpose of a relationship beyond falling in and out of love? Beyond the creation of children and families? What is it here to teach us?

Mass awakening continues to shake up the status quo on our planet day-by-day, and this year it will be bigger than ever. 

The divine evolutionary impetus behind it demands a reexamination of our values and a seismic shift away from disempowerment to sovereignty, from systemic dysfunctionality to global healing. 

This resonates on the interpersonal level as a yearning to recenter our relationships around authenticity, truth, and divine reconnection. 

Global social upheaval on the collective level is reflected by the shifting sands of relationship and family dynamics on the personal level.

Change can be painful as we let go of our illusions, but as always, if we're willing to assume responsibility for our part of things, we begin to heal the inner divisions within us from which our distortions spring. 

All relationships can be vehicles for transformation to a higher order. It all depends on whom you serve. 

So, whom do you serve? Let's explore that together today.

How do we heal our relationships? And is it possible we've been missing the point about their true purpose?

For many people, relationships are a source of pain, frustration, even anguish. Many intimate relationships are minefields where we learn to step carefully. Many a happy wedding turns to divorce or uneasy cohabitation.

Until we understand the true purpose of relationships, disappointment is inevitable.

In a largely unconscious consumer culture, relationships become yet another attempt to fill the void, and we often mistake attachment and obsession for love.

In unconscious relationships, real love is muted by our constant attempts to get our needs met, rather than simply opening as love itself.

So how do we, as perfectly imperfect humans, open ourselves to love? How do we move from unconscious relationships based on projection to conscious, ethical relationships?

By failing. And by being willing to learn from those failures of loving.

By not putting unrealistic expectations on our relationships, and understanding their function as crucibles of transformation in our spiritual evolution.

By deeply realizing that we're here for one reason only: to free ourselves of the blocks to love that are nowhere other than within ourselves. And to BE that love.

In today's episode of The Grace Space, we explore Ethical Relationship, which puts Divinity and the Soul's evolution at the centre of relating, rather than our unresolved wounds.

What happens to our life when our sense of identity dissolves? What happens to our relationships when we no longer play by the old rules? What is it that survives dissolution?

Dissolution is when something falls apart, disperses, dissolves, and changes form. It's a form of death. We see it in the rotting fruit; the log in the fire that turns to ash; the sugar cube that melts into your coffee.

Dissolution is part of Nature and the universe. It's one half of the alchemical process coagulum solvare, the process by which all things are constantly moving between densification and dissolution. It happens at every scale of existence, including the stars, who expand and collapse in on themselves over eons of time to fuse the very elements that make up our bodies and everything we know.

In the journey of the Soul, dissolution occurs as you let go of the false self with all its beliefs, requirements, and its created world. Things, people, familiar roles, your health, even parts of you are removed. The hard shell of the ego begins to crack and fall away, obsolete patterns are exposed, and long-buried fears are no longer resisted, but faced. Everything that you thought you knew and believed you were is called into question and you, as you knew yourself, begin to dissolve.

The truth is, you can't survive dissolution. Not the you you think of as you. But something that could never be destroyed emerges.

Call it the Dark Night of the Soul, call it The Void, call it Shaktipat -- it feels like a period of intense pressure, and it isn't easy. In today's episode, I share with you how I'm experiencing Dissolution.

Why do we store the past inside us instead of letting it go? Why do we hold on to pain? Because we can't handle it.

In this episode, we explore our tendency to stockpile emotional energy, or samskaras, and the often serious consequences this has on our life.

The truth is, we were never taught to handle our emotional energy.

It's commonly accepted that we should live our life, choose our relationships, our work, and generally base our decisions on what will maximize pleasure and minimize pain. 

This is what most people are engaged in, and it's considered totally normal and even sensible to adopt this approach.

It's evident in our broken medical system, for example, which pushes drugs to handle symptoms without inquiring into the source of the dis-ease.

The problem is that avoiding pain or treating it superficially doesn't make the pain go away. It only increases the pressure we feel from never having dealt with it.

When we make life choices in order to avoid disturbing the sleeping dragon, we never engage the source of our suffering: the fact that we ourselves have stored this energy in us, and we are the only ones who can dissolve it. 

While we hold on to these unresolved energies of the past, we block our own life force energy from circulating and providing the natural, uncaused feelings of wellbeing that we long for.

And when we can't handle the range of emotions that our heart continually emanates, we shut ourselves down and live in greyscale. This can have serious consequences for our lives that last for years and cause great suffering for ourselves and others.

I'll share how not being able to handle the full range of my own emotions led to just such a situation.

Freedom is knowing that no matter what happens in your life, it cannot shake your profound peace and wellbeing. You never needed life to give you those feelings, because their source is within you. But while you're all blocked up inside, you'll never know it.

Let's explore this together and see what we can let go of today.

Death is everywhere. But that doesn't have to be a downer. If we embrace it, we are reborn.

Welcome to Season 4 of The Grace Space!

There are seasons in life, just as there are seasons in the year. And it's important to recognize that these seasons are a natural part of how we grow and evolve.

It does no good to resist winter when we're in winter. Winter has its purpose and its place. Under the ground, in the dark, miraculous things are happening, even though what appears before our eyes seems grey, cold, and dead.

In our human life, we experience winter as seasons of endings that can feel like death. These are opportunities to process all the emotions that we associate with death -- fear, grief, regret, sadness, despair -- and to ask the deeper questions about life.

This season of The Grace Space is the most personal one yet. I'm going to take you with me as I apply the principles of spiritual law to my own dark night of the soul. Because as it happens, I'm in one. 

And the content of our life is the curriculum for our evolution.

In this first episode we're going to talk about what's really been driving our choices and decisions, running (and sometimes ruining) our lives, and my encounter with my personified ego during a shamanic journey. Which was basically the first domino.

But don't worry -- there's plenty to laugh about too. Like this clip from The Heat, which I mention at the end of the episode.

In fact, humour and death are close cousins. So let's go.

Are you 'standing in your Truth'? Is that just an ego trip? Is it selfish to be your Self?

There seems to be some confusion about what it means to 'stand in your Truth'. 

What is my truth? Am I allowed to be myself? What does that even mean? What about other people? If I'm true to myself, it could hurt others.

If I'm true to myself, my life might fall apart!

Yes.

When we truly 'stand in our truth', we find out whether our carefully constructed life can withstand it.

Was it a real life? Or a fake one?

As we said last week, courage is the price of admission for self-initiation on the spiritual path.

In this final Q&A we get to the heart of the matter and strip away all the habits and justifications we use as bandaids and ways to avoid actually growing. We'll talk about...

• how to tell the difference between standing in your truth and ego tripping or self-inflation
• whether thinking is necessary for survival
• the higher purpose of spiritual relationships
• how to use the four phrases of Ho'oponopono in a real life situation so you can attract more and more and 'do' less and less
• what's the point of doing spiritual work if it makes your life fall apart?

 And more in this final episode of Season 3.

In today's Q&A, we invite the intellect over for tea and listen to all the ego's 'yeah, buts'. Well, maybe not ALL...

The egoic mind is full of resistance to spiritual truth. But there is another part of us that recognizes it when we hear it.

When that part of us outweighs the ego’s resistance, the thirst for growth becomes all-consuming. But you have to be willing to go deep if you really want to be free. 

Courage is the price of admission to your True Self.

This panoply of perfect puzzlers in this episode represents our attempt to finesse answers from our True Self and leap from one paradigm to another.

This Q&A is a journey from the mind to the heart, the 3rd dimension to the 5th dimension, the linear to the nonlinear.

Today we're grappling with...

• the consequences of manifesting from push energy as opposed to consciously surrendering to the highest good
• the excuses, reasons and rationalizations we offer ourselves and others to avoid going to the deep and dark places that birth us back into the Light
• real life examples of taking radical responsibility, and how it puts us on a higher timeline
• the difference between letting go and passivity
• the ego's love affair with victim consciousness and how to get over your own drama

And much more! Join me as we explore and discover more thanks to your questions.

• Why we forget our True Nature and get lost behind the veil of illusion
• The true dynamic at the root of nearly ALL relationships and why we need to be honest, admit it, and own it
• Therapy, digging up the past, and the difference in focus between therapy and spiritual work

To break free of your cocoon requires courage, honesty, and a refusal to play the roles and the games that are expected of you by just about everyone.

“Your path is the path of Grace”, my teacher told me several years after I had committed to my spiritual journey. Intuitively I knew it was true, but I can’t say I understood what exactly it meant.

Over the years I’ve deeply pondered what Grace is, how it has acted in my life, and what it means to be on the path of Grace.

I see it as a path of simplicity. Simply being YOU, unadorned.

How? By dropping the mask -- letting go of everything that is false and leaving the sleepy comfort of your cocoon.

When we let go of playing games and playing roles to get our needs met, whether emotionally, physically, financially, or even spiritually, we enter a new space of consciousness like walking from a dank, stuffy room into the fresh air.

That’s when magic happens: we attract the Grace by our new frequency.

I didn’t understand any of this back when a dear friend angelically guided me toward a new vocation on the path of Grace after her passing.

In today’s episode, I share…

• The hallmarks of any truly self-realized person and how to recognize one (hint: it’s not by how many Instagram followers they have)
• How and why I transitioned to a new vocational path in the midst of the happiest time in my life as a performer
• My first experience in the role of ‘priestess’
• The amazing sign I received from the spirit realm when I really needed some reassurance after taking what felt like a huge, crazy risk

And lots more, including visions of domes in France, singing with kids in hockey skates, and the best preparation for being a yogi.

Grasse Roots Perfumery: What my self-guided intuitive apprenticeship in perfume making taught me about beauty, harmony, alchemy, and blossoming from within.

Many years ago, galvanized by a powerfully liberating dream during nap time, I spontaneously started an artisanal natural perfumery.

I was an actor. I had never made perfume in my life, or even thought about it.

But within a very short time, a line of seven natural perfumes was birthed, fully formed.

Something was initiated, something was awakened, something began to flower in me that I couldn't comprehend, but I had the sense of destiny about it.

It was all part of some greater unfolding that I couldn't see, but I could feel.

This is the story of an early spiritual initiation, an intuitive journey into the alchemy of subtle essences that prepared me for my own alchemical journey.

As we cannot connect the dots going forward, only looking back, it wasn't until years later that I could appreciate where it was leading me.

It was a gentle teaching about coming into the full flowering of Self, which is always a totally unique expression of our gifts, blossoming to infinity from a point of power within.

And it has served as a gentle reminder that the Source of all beauty, creativity, and sustenance is within.

A reminder that has sustained me as I learn to break myself of dependency on anything but my divine connection to Source, and to trust It completely.

And, no surprise, the story starts, and comes full circle... in France.

“My heart is like a glorious grand piano, but the lid is locked, and the key is lost”. 

This quote from Anton Chekhov’s play, The Three Sisters, perfectly describes the state of being I existed in for nearly 20 years of my life.

In fact, it describes the state of many, many people who don’t yet have access to the heart space.

In today's episode, I share with you the story of how I lost my voice for so many years -- and my access to the heart space --  and how I found it again. 

We'll talk about...

• how you can instantly raise your vibration through one of the key access doors to the heart space of pure Knowing which transcends the intellect
• the uniqueness of your vocal vibration as an expression of your Soul Essence
• the mirror of reality, and how you can use it to see yourself with compassion
• the connection between your heart and your voice

... and much more, including spiritual guidance from the Other Side, angels dressed as human beings, heart failure, and The Sound of Music.

What's in a name? Potentially, the frequency of your Higher Self.

This is the story of how I learned to accept, embrace, and begin to embody my spiritual name.

Spiritual naming has a long tradition in ancient cultures; a spiritual name is a guide in the awakening of consciousness which affirms your spiritual destiny and elevates your spirit.

A spiritual name contains mantric sounds which beneficially affect your energy meridians and even influence brain activity when spoken or meditated upon.

It also acts as a challenge to uproot everything in you that feels small and unworthy.

In this episode, I share...

• how I felt about my spiritual name when I first received it, and why it took me so long to adopt it
• what my spiritual name taught me about true bravery and courage
• the spiritual saboteur that leads to hiding, pretending, and causes our greatness to die inside us unexpressed, and how to transcend it
• how I got through some of the darkest periods of despair in my journey

And much more... including soul star chakra activation, my little cocoon in Carcassonne, pulling a hukam for guidance, and becoming the peaceful warrior.

Sometimes we need to do something radical to announce to ourselves that we want a change. For me, it was shaving my head.

In today's episode of The Grace Space, I share how a symbolic act can express a spiritual intention and open the door to a deeper transformation.

My intention was to reveal myself to myself.

To live as the Self is uncompromisingly authentic and requires boldness, courage, and a gentle refusal to conform to the roles that are expected of us.

It's a refusal to betray the soul by stupefying ourselves with the familiarity of our comfort zone, playing it safe, and bolstering each others' illusions.

It is not a reaction against something else, but a balanced, compassionate and tender response to the falsity of the world. -- a promise, renewed daily, to drop all pretense and to be True.

And it starts with you. Naturally.

I was definitely not ready to live that honestly -- so I shaved my head instead.

In today's episode, I share the story of my first attempt to show my true colours -- at least, my true hair colour!

We'll discuss...

• the five things you must be willing to drop in order to ascend in consciousness
• how we travel down the ladder of subtlety into physical form
• why Love has more spiritual power than Reason, and how to make the quantum leap from one paradigm to the other
• the futility of trying to protect the ones you love, and why you shouldn't interfere
• how we betray our soul, and the way back to authenticity

And lots more, including winning the battle but losing the war, my henna routine, and more beautiful words from Rumi.

Watch a 10-second video of the deed!

Every hero's journey needs a trip down to the underworld. Here's mine.

This is the story of how I went from living on the surface of life to diving down into my own darkness to rescue a slumbering princess -- me.

But not the me I thought I was. This was the frozen Light of my Soul, imprisoned in cold glass, and buried in the land of the Dead out of loyalty to a long gone, beloved father.

I share with you how I was made aware of it one rainy morning in the Alps, and the tool I was given to begin my journey.

We'll also talk about...

• recognizing the mask of the false self, and allowing yourself to be seen
• the difference between spiritual work and esoteric distractions that keep us from facing what we need to face
• the relationship between the ego-mask and the suppressed and repressed aspects of ourselves that form the Shadow self
• how to let go of guilt and see the 'disasters' of your life as beautiful orchestrations of the Soul
• the question you should always ask first before 'what should I do?'

And much more, including anchoring your Soul Body, the metaphor of the stage, and parts of your life you forgot all about because you just couldn't process them.

We all have a shadow self. But the shadow is nothing to be afraid of.

In fact, the shadow is the portal to the Light.

Is it selfish to do spiritual work? Not everyone will thank you for it, that’s certain. 

Whatever step we’re taking spiritually is going to make some waves inwardly -- and probably outwardly too. 

The inner work we do doesn't only affect us -- it affects the collective because we're all connected. And it especially affects those nearest and dearest to us.

When you start to change, it creates ripple effects in the world around you.

Family dynamics are affected, relationships have to adapt or fall apart. 

The ripples awaken subconscious fears, tear from us cherished illusions, and expose the fault lines in the fragile constructions of our lives we have tried so hard to hold together.

If our houses are built on sand, they start to slide. And usually, we do all we can to keep up appearances, for as long as we possibly can.

In this episode of our series on The Path of Grace, I share with you...

• what a family member's disapproving remark taught me about the Law of Reflection
• how to become bulletproof by owning your sh*t so it doesn't own you 
• the discovery of my disowned addictions, and the one main addiction we all have
• why it's getting harder and harder to hide anything, and how the frequency of unconditional love can save us from the pointlessness of guilt and shame

And much more, including my faux-pas in the French 'actors centre', seva time for character defects, and befriending deep sea fish in the abyss.

In my first private audience with him, my Teacher put his finger intuitively right where it hurt most -- my second chakra.

I learned to feel again by facing one of the most painful episodes of my life as a woman -- and ironically, I thought I was over it.

Just because you don't really feel the pain anymore doesn't mean you've processed it.

Sometimes it's because you've numbed it out.

The second chakra -- associated with the water element -- is the energy centre just below your navel, and the seat of feeling, flowing, pleasure, intimacy, belonging, sexuality and creativity. 

In this episode of The Grace Space, our journey into the water element of feeling continues.

This is the story of how I began transforming the long-held pain of a second chakra trauma and rededicated that energy to my higher purpose.

In the process, I learned, and I share with you...

• the difference between processing emotional energy and juicing it to keep your ego alive
• how to let go of emotional or even physical pain, and how we perpetuate it without realizing it
• where all pain actually originates and why coping mechanisms don't work
• why spiritual work is a threat to your sense of self

And lots more, including the power of shakti, being lost at sea, in love with the Pays Cathare, and dissolving the karma of your bloodline.

We cannot transcend the past until we allow ourselves to feel it. I found that out on my second journey of awakening.

The decision to fully commit to my spiritual path galvanized me with joy and excitement. Little did I know it was the beginning of seven years of tears.

I was about to step into the river, figuratively and literally.

And find out that 'being spiritual' was the opposite of peaceful.

This is the story of how I entered the water element and finally started to FEEL.

It was a time when tears were always close to the surface, emotion was overwhelming and drowning was a possibility.

When years, centuries, lifetimes of dammed up energy would rise to burst through the levies of illusion and flood every area of life.

In today's episode, I share with you...

• why everything seems to fall apart and why you lose your way when you commit to spiritual work, and how to make it through the inevitable doubt and disillusionment called shaktipat 
• the importance of owning your downside -- i.e. your character defects -- so they don't own you 
• how coming back to France triggered a moment of past-life recall that had me slipping through the warp of space-time to unearth old patterns of fear and hiding 
• what I learned about the symbolic language of the universe from three days of rain, a hailstorm and a double-rainbow

Learning how to feel again is how we begin to thaw the parts of our heart that have been frozen in time. 

Join me now in The Grace Space as I take you back to France with me (and through a warp in space-time!) and share with you the fruit of Swamiji's blessing, the recognition of soulmates, the pitfalls of being an inexperienced camper, and more!

I had spent years rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Little did I know the ship was about to go down. In a good way.

In this instalment of The Path of Grace, My Journey, I share with you how I made a life-changing decision to walk away from the life I had built to follow a path into the Unknown.

It took me an agonizing 10 days to work up the courage to simply be honest with myself about what I truly wanted, and then to make the decision to follow my heart.

In this episode, I share with you...

• what I learned from a New York City casting director about Grace
• the characteristics and attributes of a true Spiritual Teacher
• how I went through eight years of therapy entertaining my therapist and never getting into anything real
• the blessing I received from a swami in India who resolved questions by his Presence alone
• the difference between the linear, material, Newtonian realm and the nonlinear realm of spiritual power, and why you have to transcend the intellect if you want Self-Realization

...and much more in this packed episode of true stories, including sailing into dragons, why life is just like that movie Contact, and how I got to have my cake and eat it too because Life is so good.

When the student is ready, the Teacher appears.

As if in answer to a question posed from deep inside the heart, I stumbled into the path of the one who became my Spiritual Teacher.

This question had no words -- it was more like a soundless cry for help that went out from me in a broadcast of concentric waves.

And with the readiness, those waves came back as an answer from the Universe and coalesced in form in the snowy French Alps.

This episode is the story of how, in the months before that life-changing encounter, the readiness came about.

I share with you...

• how my session with a Wall Street stockbroker-turned intuitive healer broke the hard shell of the ego so that I could be open to transformation, and what to do if you're being 'pushed off the wheel'
• how to recontextualize the ego by understanding its structure and evolutionary origins so that you don't take it personally and mistake it for you
• the realization that I had never known what yoga was despite many hours of training and practice, and the refreshingly unconventional 'no rules' approach of my Teacher
• my experience of the transformational power of the field of unconditional love, and how it propelled me into a higher state of awareness and opening of the heart

... and much more, including werewolves, the power of language to kill or to heal, and permission to 'mess it up'.

The spiritual path is a choice -- not to be spiritual, but to be fully human.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We don't have to 'be' spiritual -- we already are.

Our challenge is to be fully human. And that means fully accepting our humanity.

Part of our human nature is the ego. 

In spiritual work, we're told we must transcend the ego. And this is true.

But we can't transcend something until we fully embrace it.

Spirituality is not the denial of everything that comes with being human. It's accepting it as exactly what is needed for our spiritual growth.

Today we begin a new journey together on The Path of Grace -- my path.

In this series, a sort of 'prequel' to the popular series on how I manifested my dream home in France, I'm going to share with you as openly as I can about my own journey on the spiritual path -- the challenges and dark nights of the Soul that have been mine to navigate, and how I got through them.

My hope is to accompany you on your journey so that you'll feel less alone as you do the same.

Today I share...

• how I met my Spiritual Teacher, even though I wasn't looking for one
• why you shouldn't get down on yourself or discouraged on the spiritual path
• the truth about spiritual work, and why it can look like your life is falling apart when you commit to Self-Realization

And much more, including walking meditations in the snowy French Alps, actor ego trips, and how you can back up into the best thing that's ever happened to you even though you've resisted every step of the way.

I also open up the floor for questions that have come up during this series (see the link below to submit yours), to which I will devote an entire future episode!

"When we're not afraid, we take very different actions in the world." -- Megan Macdonald

Who would you be if you totally trusted Life?

What would you create? 

How would you go about your day, stand, walk and talk?

If you felt autonomous, provided for, and had everything you needed within you, how would that change your outlook?

Our conversation about the ancient practice of Shivambu -- otherwise known as urine therapy -- continues with guests Megan Macdonald and Charlotte Gowdy. 

Today we dive deeper into the vibrational effects of this practice on the subtle aspect of our nature.

The spiritual benefits of taking in your own essence.

Which translates to deeper self-love, self-acceptance, trust, and confidence. 

I don’t know how to account for it – though undoubtedly some day we will be able to – but Shivambu does something wonderful in your energy field.

It makes you fearless.

There’s something woo-woo in there. 

Not to mention all the thousands of known elements that balance your body, mind and emotions from moment to moment.

Didja know Big Pharma and the cosmetics industry know all about your quantum elixir?

And that they’d prefer you NOT to know?

You already ARE everything you’re seeking.

Once you get this, no one will be able to sell you anything.

No one will be able to frighten you into compliance.

Once you really, truly know that everything is within, and FEEL it… you’re remembering the Truth.

Shedding density? Going crystalline? Feeling spacey? Dear Human, here are some tools to ease your transition to the 5th dimension.

Does it sometimes feel like you've been shot out of a cannon, or that things are happening so fast it's blowing your hair back?

That's Ascension, baby. 

And it's happening whether you want it to or not.

We are moving from one octave to another, vibrationally speaking.

If you live on planet Earth -- and if you're reading this, you probably do -- it's mandatory.

We can go willingly, embracing the changes, and see this as an exciting time we were born for and that our souls have chosen to experience...

...or you can succumb to fear, negativity and despair as the old world crumbles.

We must choose the reality we want to live in. It's up to us.

These tools can help you make the transition from density to Light body.

The alchemical keys that I've been sharing with you during this series belong in your Ascension Toolbox. 

Whenever you feel stuck, heavy, emotional or even in a full-on freak-out, these little phrases can point you back to Truth.

I know, because I've tested them all. On myself.

In this episode, we'll...

• review all the alchemical keys of this series and which might be best suited to your situation

• learn more about Ascension, why some things look like they're falling apart, and how to make it easier on yourself

• discover why you only need one tool to undo the entire structure of the ego -- and why we still avoid committing to it

• see how to recognize and avoid one of the main pitfalls of the spiritual seeker

And much more, including solar flares, the astral sideshow, and how great we all are at collapsing the wave function. I also share with you the tool I'm using most right now, and how it's changing my life.

When was the last time you cleaned out your subconscious?

What if when we were growing up, our mother asked us that along with 'did you clean your room?'

The subconscious is the storehouse of memory, programs, beliefs and conditioning -- in other words, karma. Karma is the burden of the past, everything that weighs heavily on us and makes life feel hard. 

Inner Alchemy is the transformation and dissolution of karma, through which we rediscover our original innocence and incorruptibility, as fresh and ever-new as springtime.

In today's episode, you'll discover...

• the alchemical key that frees you from the burden of the past in you
• how to recapture your child-like innocence, that sweet freedom and trust in life, but with the added dimension of wisdom
• how to recognize 'buildup' in your subconscious storehouse
• why you are perfectly designed, exactly as you are, to transcend all your limitations, and the simple cleaning tool that does the work for you
• the subtle negativity that clouds your life and how to peel away this deadening layer that mutes your aliveness

And much more, including Mohammed Ali and Howard Cosell, childhood belching contests, and what I learned about spiritual hygiene from my cousin and the true story of his house sliding down a hill. Ever so slowly.

I also open up the floor for questions that have come up during this series (see the link below to submit yours), to which I will devote an entire future episode!

There's no such thing as luck. But there is such a thing as 'baraka': good fortune and divine blessing.

Divine Order and Justice are supreme in the Universe. Nothing is random and everything is expressing its essence perfectly, regardless of our judgments and opinions.

In a paradigm of causality, where we believe that one thing is causing another, it's easy to convince yourself that life is unfair or that some people have all the luck while others don't.

But when we go beyond the linearity of the Newtonian paradigm and into the Quantum realm of reality, we realize that everything in our experience unfolds from our vibrational interaction with the Field of Consciousness. 

I've had the great good fortune of learning from two amazing 'lucky' people in my life: my brother and my husband. They make life look easy; but believe me, luck has nothing to do with it.

What some people call luck is really all about who you are BEING.

And when you embody kindness, generosity, playfulness, gratitude, humour, lovingness, trust, and joy, the universe opens the doors for you and you are provided for.

In fact, everything we need is freely given to us. Whatever you need is yours for the asking.

In this episode, you'll learn...

• a new alchemical key phrase that connects you with the Divine principles of abundance and compensation
• how to increase your chances of experiencing 'baraka'
• the biggest lie we've been sold that keeps us spiritually and financially disempowered 
• the most important declaration you can make to the Universe that gets the 'little me' out of the way and opens the channels for your good to flow to you

And much more, including the special power of Cat Daddies, fig trees, and the story behind this podcast's theme music!

It seems like a contradiction. And to ordinary awareness, it is.

How can you have more if you give more?

If you do the math, it doesn't seem to make sense. Giving away necessarily implies that what you've given away, you no longer have.

Then again, it depends on your interaction with the field of consciousness, and the spirit with which you live your life.

Whatever we give, we receive. Whatever we offer as a vibration returns to us in kind.

If we offer kindness and love, it returns to us as more kindness and love.

If we offer resentment and smallness of spirit, Life responds with smallness and meanness.

Everything is a mirror, offering us insight into ourselves and the energy we're holding -- if we're willing to look.

Today's alchemical key unlocks the door to greater joy and abundance.

It dissolves the Scrooge in us -- the selfish, small-minded, ungenerous, tight-fisted, jealous tendencies of the ego that are at the source of so much pain individually and collectively.

In this episode, you'll learn...

• the two most important qualities to cultivate if you want to perform inner alchemy
• how to experience more peace, more love, more opportunities, more abundance, and more of all the good things your heart is longing for
• the quickest and easiest way to shift our of a 'get' mindset, and the origin of our need to gain and win
• how to recognize whether you're operating in the limited domain of force, or the unlimited realm of spiritual Power, and how to make the leap from one paradigm to the other
• what a person of increase is, and how to become one

And much more. I tell you a story about how I first consciously discovered that I could easily move into an upward spiral of 'feel-good vibes' -- as I was pin-curling my hair for a wig!

Join me now in The Grace Space.

Are you free from inner oppression?

Most of us feel like life dictates the degree of freedom we have. Externally we live within certain boundaries and limitations that are imposed from without by the laws of man and the laws of nature.

We may feel limited in our freedom of time, money, or physical capacities too.

It can be frustrating to chafe against these limitations when we want to express more of who we are in the world.

But outer freedom is an expression of inner freedom.

Are you able to find inner spaciousness in any situation? 

Can you feel free no matter what's going on around you?

Free from the inner oppression of fear, worry, anxiety, doubt?

That feeling of dread that you’re about to be beset by a mind attack or emotional storm and there’s nowhere to run?

It is our ultimate destiny as human beings to transcend our lower nature and live as the joy, love, and spaciousness of our True Nature.

But don't put that day off in the future for yourself. 

Now is the time to choose to be free.

In this episode of Inner Alchemy, we'll explore...

• a recap of all the alchemical keys we've looked at so far, and their relationship to each other
• how to practice awareness in everyday life as a path to freedom
• the difference between outer freedom and inner freedom, and why it's important
• why outer restrictions are not against you, and how they can lead to true freedom
• why we really don't want to let go, or hold on to resentments and old self-concepts

And much more. I also share a story about a recent experience where I was faced with temptation by the spiritual ego around the very issue of freedom, and how the inner conflict was resolved.

Join me now as we get real in The Grace Space!

Who are you? What are you all about? How do you see yourself? And most importantly... does it even matter?

One of the stages of personal growth is the development of a healthy self-image. 

Anyone who seeks to achieve their dreams eventually realizes that we cannot outperform our self-image, and that unconscious negative self-concepts and emotional energy fields like shame, guilt, anger and fear continually sabotage our best efforts at fulfillment.

The good news is that our self-image can be improved.

Our attempts at self-improvement are an expression of the desire to overcome limitations, satisfy our longings and dissolve our discontent.

But while a well-adjusted ego may be a worthy therapeutic goal, it is only a stage in our development.

As long as self-improvement is rooted in the ego's dissatisfaction, true fulfillment remains elusive.

We remain stuck in the personal sense of self, which ultimately only perpetuates suffering.

The alchemical key I share with you in this episode is a shortcut -- not only will it improve your self-image and your sense of deserving, but it will also help you transcend the built-in limitations of the very self you are seeking to improve.

You'll learn...

• where to connect with the true source of your worth as a human being (hint: it's not in your human part)
• how to avoid the 'self-improvement trap', an unproductive path that leads to more frustration and a vicious cycle of guilt and self-condemnation
• why our sense of deserving is so unstable and constantly needs shoring up
• why any image or concept you have of yourself, even an empowered one, is ultimately false
• how to stop seeking your worthiness, and instead, let go of the need to feel worthy altogether

I tell you the story of how flopping in a commercial audition (big time!) prompted me to ask the deeper questions about identity and self-image, and start to let them go.

Are you willing to let go of who you believe yourself to be?

To leave behind the familiar feeling of being 'you' in favour of true Freedom?

And mostly, do you want to hear about my embarrassing face-plant in that commercial audition?

If so, join me now in The Grace Space.

Got problems? Want to solve them? Listen on! 

What's the first thing we need to understand to solve a problem? 

That there are no problems.

Only situations.

Perception is what makes a situation into a problem.

Unless you're a mathematician, a problem is usually a situation you don't want or that you feel 'shouldn't be happening'. 

This sets up resistance to the situation -- force. And what comes back? Counter-force.

We also tend to see the problem as 'out there', and set about acting on the situation, trying to manage, control, or influence those involved.

But this is a waste of energy. Even if we do change the situation, we usually create karma, i.e. consequences.

This week in The Grace Space, we're going to shift our paradigm around what a problem is, and how to solve it.

(Hint: YOU are not doing the solving).

It's a kind of non-linear 'quantum problem-solving'.

Think of it this way. 

Reality is a mirror. It reflects back to you an image of yourself -- not your outside, your inside!

Whatever energy you hold within yourself is reflected back.

Whatever problems show up in your reality are a reflection of something within your own Being.

There is no 'out there'. There is only 'in here'. 

The really good news is... it means you can solve any problem in your reality -- from within.

In this episode, I share with you...

• what a problem ACTUALLY is -- and why it's showing up
• how a conscious person works with the energy of a problem
• a simple and extremely powerful mantra that opens a channel for the highest outcome for any 'problem' you are facing
• why you don't have to worry about or 'try' to solve problems

I also recount the story of my (totally imagined) rivalry with a friend, and how it kept me guilty, self-conscious, and driving with the brake on for years.

Quantum problem-solving is so much easier. It's such a relief. You don't have to do any heavy lifting.

Listen now to learn how!

'I create my own reality' as a New Age dictum has almost moved into the common parlance now, at least among people who are interested in a podcast like this one. It's become a hashtag of the manifestation variety.

And it's certainly true, for better or for worse. It has always and will always be true.

Our very nature is creative. We create automatically, with every breath. We don’t have to try.

We don’t have to learn manifesting; we’re doing it all the time.

The more important question is WHO is doing the creating. Who is the 'I' you think you are?

One creates beautiful dreams, and the other one nightmares.

In this episode, you'll learn about the third Alchemical Key that sets you free, and...

• how we create automatically based on our vibration, and how that vibration is affected from moment to moment by our state of being
• the difference between aligned creation and creation from the egoic mind
• why we often create more limitation for ourselves despite our best intentions, and the key to extricating ourselves from destructive cycles 

And much more, including a personal story about my early years as an actor and how they trained me in Inner Alchemy, unbeknownst to me at the time.

We may not be as free as we think. If you assume that you are exercising your 'free will', listen to this episode. 

We have a lot of unexamined assumptions in life.

There's a tendency to believe that the reality we experience is the only one, and that we are 'right' about it.

There's a tendency to believe that the limitations we experience are 'just the way things are'. 

There's a tendency to be attached to our way of seeing things, even if it means remaining within the limitations and constraints that we perceive as the cause of our suffering.

The truth?

All of this is just programming. And we've been making our choices from a 'free will' that is sharply circumscribed by this programming.

We've all been programmed. So now what?

In this episode of The Grace Space, we'll look at the second Alchemical Key that can free you from your programming so you can make your choices based on the inspiration of the Now rather than defaulting to reactivity based on patterns from the past.

We'll talk about...

• where all this programming comes from and how it got there
• how our paradigm influences our perception and causes us to see things in a distorted way
• where all of our problems actually originate
• the necessity of letting go of our attachment to the way we see things so that we can be free

And lots more.You'll discover that knowing you've been programmed in the first place is the first step to accessing true creativity and living the fulfillment of your highest potential.

Yes, we've all been programmed. But that is not who we ARE.

Isn't it a relief?

Peace. Joy. Love. Abundance. Are these a living reality for you? Or just words?

We all dream of living in those states, but usually put them in the future, once we've 'figured out' how to achieve them. 

This series on Inner Alchemy is a reminder that those states are NATURAL to us. In other words, they're our True Nature. And they are only available in the Here and Now.

Every episode I share with you an Alchemical Key to letting go of the lower states -- fear, guilt, shame, anger, blame, and any other form of negativity -- that obscure our simple, natural state of felt Oneness with life, and the joy that arises from that.

What happens when you let go of negativity and resistance? Revelation. And everything you fought and struggled for in your previous state of separation... just finds you.

That's Inner Alchemy.

In today's episode, you'll learn...

• the key attitude which is the baseline for integrity -- the one you must embrace before anything can truly work for you
• how to determine if you're living in a victim mindset without realizing it
• how to tell the difference between responsibility and blame
• why you gave your power away, and how to reconnect with it

I share a personal story about how I learned the difference between owning my creation and punishing myself for it... and I give you a super simple practice to try out for a week that proves, through your own experience, why this key is so powerful.

Ready to start the process of Inner Alchemy? Have a listen.

What if I told you there's a perfect healing medicine tailor-made for YOU, and available to you every minute of every day? And it's totally, 100% free?

Imagine that you had access to your own inner pharmacy.

A place that makes everything you need to heal and balance every level of your being -- body, mind, emotions and spirit.

All healing comes from the re-establishment of Divine Order inside your body. We were all created perfect, whole and complete, with a built-in self-healing mechanism available free of charge.

But this goes way beyond the body. 

This healing modality is full-spectrum, quantum and alchemical. It's God-given.

Today in The Grace Space I'm joined by Megan Macdonald, an expert in this form of personal alchemy, as well as Charlotte Gowdy, whom listeners will know from previous episodes, both dedicated practitioners of Shivambu. 

I might add that I, too, am a dedicated practitioner and enthusiast of all things Shivambu, and I can't wait to share Part 1 of this episode with all of you.

Join me in a boundary-pushing, fascinating, and often hilarious conversation where we open the vault of the untold secrets of your own miraculous medicine, how all of us are using it, and how you can too.

Megan Macdonald brings together self-healing methods and a background in the academic study of ritual and belief. She has seen the most profound changes in her own health through two methods in particular: the Self-Healing Dalian Method and Shivambhu or Urine Therapy. She has a PhD in the ‘Performance of Belief’ from Queen Mary, University of London and is a published author. She deals in taboo, exploring the unconscious and teaching the tools that lead to deep health in every aspect of life. In between yoga and knitting, she can be found swimming in the waters off the east coast of Canada.

It was curiosity about her own chronic pain as a teenager that led Megan to investigate over 20 healing modalities. Shivambhu and the Dalian Method are the two most powerful methods she’s found to improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. These have also led to the biggest shifts in her clients. 

Megan offers her Personal Alchemy course throughout the year – guiding people through Shivambhu practices, daily habits for health, including fasting and cleansing. Since 2014 she has been working with individuals and groups, both in-person and online, to promote well-being, health, and raising consciousness. Megan is passionate about teaching Shivambhu with humour and fun!

Don’t believe that things are going to be the way they always were... because they aren’t. We are Ascending now.

The question is, do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?

The only thing that can keep us experiencing a repeat of the past is US: our memories and our attachment to the limitations and the pain of the past.

And the only thing that we have any control over is our own consciousness.

That's why I'm excited to share the second part of my story with you today -- the story of how I came to discover and integrate the practice of a powerful spiritual technology in my life.

That practice is Kundalini Yoga, and it is the perfect tool for our day and age. It can help you to move through the ascension process our planet is in with a lot more ease and grace.

In today's very personal episode, you'll learn...

• how the practice of Kundalini Yoga can free you to discover your original, blissful nature
• what prompted me to 'take a break' from show business in 2012 (hint: I misbehaved), and how a health challenge that followed resulted in my reconnection with Kundalini Yoga 
• what Kundalini Yoga did for me in 6 weeks that a year of physical therapy failed to do
• why Kundalini Yoga is 'dangerous' -- to any interests that seek to control you
• how to extricate yourself from disempowering mass belief systems that have enslaved humans for millennia, and take charge of your health and wellbeing by getting to know your 'smart' body

And LOTS more. I share with you a deeply personal journey of the physical and emotional struggles that I hid even from those closest to me, and how a powerful healing prompted me to finally say YES to the path my Soul had opened up to me (three times!), and the life-changing event that this period of life prepared me for.

P.S. In case you missed it last week, check out the link to the mini video class, where I share with you one of my favourite Kundalini Yoga exercises that can have a powerful effect on you in only 3 minutes!

The technologies of the future will be more quantum, multidimensional and spiritual than physical.

Today I’m going to tell you about a profound spiritual technology that can help you have a more graceful ascension process.

I’m talking about Kundalini Yoga, the yoga of awareness.

If you practice this technology faithfully, you will become more empowered, resilient, grounded, and centred.

Kundalini Yoga brings you higher levels of physical health and vitality by strengthening and toning the nervous and glandular systems so that your body can hold more Light.

It brings harmony to all of the body's organs and systems and awakens the dormant spiritual potential within you by working with your body’s innate consciousness or intelligence.

It helps you to feel more peaceful, grounded and balanced in your day, by calming your mind and emotions and with continued practice, transforms your life circumstances, aligns you with your purpose and higher gifts and facilitates Self-Realization.

You don't need to acquire anything to practice Kundalini Yoga, because you already have everything you need within to use this spiritual technology to increase your health, happiness and prosperity.

In this episode, I share with you the story of discovering Kundalini Yoga at the age of 25, the portal it opened to my Soul, and the key role it has played in my journey for the last 25 years, even when I was running away from the potential it offered me.

You'll learn about...

• the life-changing experience I had at my first Kundalini Yoga class
• the relationship between Kundalini Awakening and Ascension
• how I shrank back in fear when the doorway to the Soul opened the first time... and the second time...
• why we tend to give our power away and run from the very things that would help us grow and improve our lives
• why most people struggle with discipline and commitment, and how to find them within yourself without pushing

And lots more. I've also made a special video for you to introduce you to one of my favourite practices! You'll find it below in the links :-)

Stressed? Under pressure? Feeling directionless, uprooted, disoriented or on an emotional roller coaster? You're not crazy. You're ascending.

It's time to talk about a very real, natural phenomenon that we're undergoing right now on our planet called Ascension. 

Understanding what Ascension is and how it affects us is essential knowledge that can help you root yourself in the changes that are occurring and navigate them with more ease and grace.

In this episode of The Grace Space, I'll go further than I've ever gone before in laying out some of the cosmological context that forms the backdrop for this moment in human history we have the privilege of passing through.

If you've been feeling down or anxious about the state of the world, take heart. This is all going somewhere, and it's going somewhere good -- if you believe it is.

An essential part of harmonizing with this ascension process is accepting that each of us lives in a reality of our own choosing. So, if you want a bright future, choose to focus on what you DO want, rather than what you don't want!

In today's mind-expanding episode, you'll learn...

• how the cycle we're in right now fits into a much larger scale of the evolution of consciousness, and why we have every reason to be optimistic about the future of humanity
• what the change from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age has to do with what's going on now and how you might be feeling
• how to accept your spiritual upgrades and embrace homo spiritus, the new genus of human being born within us now
• what 'ascension symptoms' are, and if you've been experiencing them
• three simple but non-negotiable skills you need to develop in order to ascend with more grace and ease

And lots more in this very rich episode, which I hope will open your eyes to the vastness of your being in a way they've never been opened before, and inspire you to step into the next phase of your own Becoming.

Have you ever met a Self Specialist before? Well, you're about to!

You’ve often heard me affirm that we’re living in a New Age now, one in which job titles like that of my next guest will be reoriented to reflect the priorities of the Aquarian paradigm.

I’m blessed to know a number of amazing Lightworkers who support people in this transition, and Rachel Astarte is one of them.

Rachel is a holistic psychotherapist, author, educator, and podcaster. She is the author of Celebrating Solitude: How to Discover and Honor Your Highest Self.

She hosts the podcast, “Self Talk with Rachel Astarte,” which helps listeners develop a healthy sense of self and is available wherever podcasts are streamed. As a "self-specialist," Rachel's fully virtual practice is dedicated to the vision of Unity through Individuality. The stronger our foundation of self, the better we can contribute to the world around us.

Our conversation revolved around what Rachel calls the Ring of Fire: the most intense moment of birth pangs before the birth of a New Self and a New World -- and how we can move through this Ring of Fire with grace and ease.

During this stimulating conversation, you'll learn...

• more about the unique role you were born to play in the new age of the New Human (and why no one else can play that part)!
• how to stop performing for acceptance and approval, and free yourself from conditioned societal roles
• why you are ALWAYS provided for when you step into your True Self
• that you don't have to compromise in order to survive and betray your heart or your integrity
• how to feel what you feel without being pulled down by negativity in this constantly changing world situation

And much more. It turns out Rachel and I are kindred spirits (both performers and kundalini yogis), so we had a lot of fun discovering the synchronicities that brought us together.

I know you'll be inspired to realize, yet again, that the future holds only your highest good, and that there's every reason to look forward to the future because YOU are the one who chooses your timeline, not circumstances or conditions!

In manifesting my dream home, I came to realize that the true manifestation was not the physical place at all. The true manifestation of 'Home' is the reconnection to a far vaster Self than you ever realized you were part of.

Since coming to live here in my dream home in Southern France -- not just the buildings but the actual land -- I've been shown things.

Being in this place with which I am so geomagnetically aligned has expanded my consciousness while grounding me in the earth. 

It's helped me to come into a deeper, fuller realization of my purpose and higher destiny, and to begin to claim it.

Claim it so that others can claim it. Because it's a shared destiny about the realization of our True Nature as Beings beyond the limitations of doubt, fear, disease and death... beyond this earth, even. 

It's about remembering what we'd forgotten about our Divine origins in the stars, and how this awareness will help us step into a new life on a New Earth.

(and I thought it was about a beautiful place to live ;-)

In this episode, I look back in amazement at everything that happened in the course of manifesting our dream home in France, and I've left more jewels for you to unearth, including...

• how to surrender while simultaneously maintaining a laser-like focus on your dream
• the deeper meaning of physical aches and pains and illness, and how you can tune into them to enlarge your awareness and connect to your true Power
• why you never have to worry about another person's path and whether it's going to line up with yours, and how to release agenda with your loved ones so that they can discover their own highest good
• why no one has to lose if you win, and how to release this false and disempowering belief
• how following you heart to what's good for you is always good for the world

And so much more. I tell you the story of the day we made our purchase offer (which was rejected), and how we started moving into our new home before we had even signed a contract! 

AND, about the trials and difficulties I had to face alone at my new home during the fall and winter months as the alchemy of the forge acted on me to reshape my perception. 

The gift of manifesting my dream home was not only the place itself, but also all the challenges it presented me that called up the latent fears that had to be overcome with courage to step into the next phase of my Becoming.

You can do it too.

Meet Emily McGill, Broadway publicist and the founder of Emily McGill Entertainment — but not only that: she’s also a storytelling strategist, a deep believer in the power of community, a spiritual seeker, and a professional Tarot reader.

That’s right. After 15 years in New York City as a Broadway and entertainment publicist and consultant, her journey of self-exploration led to healing, evolution, and reading tarot cards professionally.

(Sunday Night on Broadway), a popup Broadway industry dance party, and a founding member of PR collective Spiral5.  Among her 20 Broadway credits, Emily represented the Tony Award-winning productions of A Raisin in the Sun starring Denzel Washington, Memphis, Billy Elliot, and Disney's The Lion King.

We talk about what led Emily from her successful career in the entertainment industry to becoming a professional tarot reader, and then jump into an actual live reading. So you’re going to want to check out the video version of this interview in the show notes below so you can see how we did this, and be sure to be listening to this reading, intended for YOU right at this moment, for what it contains for you. 

During the reading, you'll ask a meaningful question for your life, and find out three answers with regard to that question:

• What will help you
• What will hinder you
• And the untapped potential you can access for potential solutions

You're definitely going to want to check out the video version of our interview here so you can see the cards we drew :-)

Bob Proctor, God rest his Soul, said that goals are not for getting, goals are for growing. In other words, when you have a dream in your heart, the true purpose of that dream is not the achievement of the dream itself. Its true purpose is spiritual. It’s about your growth: whom you had to become to bring forth your vision for a more beautiful life.

In this last instalment of the series on How I Manifested My Dream Home (well... there is an Epilogue coming, but still...) I reveal how everything came together to enable us to buy the beautiful place where we now live, seemingly against all odds.

In this episode, I help you understand, through my own experience...

• the importance of identifying the feeling you are seeking underneath the desire for what you want, and how key it is in manifesting the object of your desire
• how I continued to persevere in keeping my vision front and centre despite obstacles, delays and doubts
• how I worked with the Universal Law of Circulation to move the energy and increase our abundance -- without having to actually make money!
• that the universe speaks to us through others, and how I received encouragement from the mirror of reality
• why you should trust in Divine Timing, and how delays and being 'stuck' totally worked to our advantage

And lots more. I share how I dared to dream even bigger (even when nothing seemed to be moving forward on any front), as well as the letter I received with a special message of encouragement from the universe, and I relate numerous synchronicities that helped me keep the faith when the fears and uncertainties were getting to me.

I confess that I crammed a lot into this episode because I didn't want to split it up and have everybody be mad at me for making them wait for the conclusion :-D

You officially have permission to liberate yourself from constraints and conventional ways of thinking and doing things.

This is a new Earth we're living on. It's a new paradigm of reality. Things will never be the same again, will never go back to the way we were used to.

To adapt, we need a new way of looking at things. 

That's why I'm so thrilled to have spent some time with Theatre Creator Rebecca Northan in The Grace Space. 

I knew this was going to be a great interview when one of Rebecca's first comments was, 'Goblins just make sense'.

Rebecca's offbeat, unconventional and wacky way of seeing the world makes her one of the most exciting artists on the Canadian stage -- and why not the world! She’s an out-of-the-box thinker with a unique perspective on life and art that’s refreshing, compassionate and ridiculously fun.

She's pioneered a genre called Spontaneous Theatre, where a member of the audience is cast in the lead role. Spontaneously. Her performance piece Blind Date, of this genre, was picked up by a Broadway producer, had a sold-out run in New York, went on to London, and to date has had over 900 performances to rave reviews.

Listening to this inspiringly offbeat, original, out-of-the-box perceiver is a breath of fresh air and will leave you laughing (I went through a packet of tissues, honestly) -- but not just that.

Rebecca's direct, deep and compassionate questions to human beings are at the heart of her Spontaneous Theatre genre. Her creative nature reflects to us the absurdity, the fragility, and the beauty of life in ways that are both darkly funny and poignantly tender, and that ultimately bring us all closer together.

Rebecca is a multi-award nominated and award-winning performer whose career path includes film, television and theatre. She considers herself a "Jill of all trades" -- she is an actor, director, playwright, teacher... a smart-ass and a brat (her words!!). She has spent the last 20 years making her own work in Canadian theatre, in between working for other people. Sometimes she teaches. 

Listen in on our conversation, and find out...

• Why Goblins just make sense
• How to allow yourself to play like a child
• The importance of having a Grimoir (preferably a purple one)
• How Rebecca recognizes the voice of her intuition and is able to dialogue with it (when she's not arguing with it)
• Rebecca's favourite crazy question to ask people -- and how it could cause a revolution in your world (and THE world) if we took it seriously
• that magic is real

And so much more. Rebecca shares the amazing story of an out-of-body experience that occurred after her mother passed, and the guidance she was given while she was out of body and has endeavoured to follow in her life.

To reach Rebecca, contact her through her website, www.spontaneoustheatre.ca.

As Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't -- you're right." This is how powerful we are.

Conscious manifestation of your heart's desire occurs to the extent that you believe you deserve to receive your highest good.

In this penultimate episode of the series on how I manifested my dream home in France, I recount my action steps and the process I undertook to work with the energy of creation on the inner planes so that it could bring about my heart's desire.

One thing I found out -- and this is good news -- is you don't have to be perfect at it for it to work!

You just endeavour with faith, even when you have no idea how it's going to happen.

In this episode, you'll learn...

• how I impregnated my mind with the energetic imprint of my desire
• the difference between will power and the Higher Will
• how to know if you've gone into push energy (which actually repels your dream)
• how to deal with doubt, and the one question you must ask yourself to overcome it
• why you should never let your thoughts be influenced by current appearances, and instead live in your vision

...and so much more. I tell you about how I made myself publicly accountable to my dream (via my Zoom background) and how vulnerable and exposed I felt in doing so. 

In the crucible of the lockdown months that passed between my one and only visit to the property and my later return there, the universe taught me more than I'd ever learned about faith, focus, and letting go,

I came to understand the intimate relationship between our self-perception and our ability to manifest what we would love. 

Join me where the rubber meets the road, and ask the big questions along with me: is this truly a benevolent universe? And does it really love me so much?

Despite appearances, what we are undergoing on Earth now is a shift in perception from fear to Love. This is the definition of a Miracle.

Join me and actor Anthony Michael Martinez for a deep, beautiful conversation about miracles, and how to live your life from the miraculous.

Anthony is a NYC-based actor and teacher with an MFA in Classical Acting from The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Academy for Classical Acting.

In addition to his teaching artist work with acclaimed theatre companies such as Red Bull Theater, Classic Stage, and New York Theatre Workshop, Anthony has also developed his own masterclass called Acting In Spiritual Principle where he teaches the art of applying universal spiritual principles to the craft of acting.

So I think you can guess why I wanted to invite him into The Grace Space!

Anthony and I actually worked together at Red Bull Theatre in New York, but at the time I had no idea we had so much in common. I’m delighted to share our conversation with you today, which will interest actors and non-actors alike.

You'll learn...

• what it means to be 'the Light of the World' and how you can share and expand this Light, no matter what your role is in life
• the root cause of all struggle and suffering, and how to begin to release it
• how a heartbreak in Anthony's life led to his study of A Course in Miracles, and how he paid it forward with love instead of grief
• how Anthony helps others make a decision to be happy, take their power back and regain dominion over their intention -- and how all of this is your birthright and human inheritance
• Anthony's advice to the artist (or the artist in you), and the one key question you must reflect on to access the deeper core of your Being

I also hearken back to a time in my own journey when my life was dominated by ego and very small indeed, and how the pain of that propelled me onto a new and higher timeline.

Women: are you on speaking terms with your Yoni? If not, you're missing out on one of life's most fulfilling relationships.

We have no idea the power we possess right in our very own bodies. 

For thousands of years, systematic repression and control of women's bodies and natural rhythms have divorced women -- and men -- from the true depths of power, pleasure, creativity, spiritual wisdom, and the expansion of consciousness that come from a rich and rewarding relationship with the yoni.

The yoni -- or 'sacred space' -- is a sanskrit word for the vagina and extends to the consciousness of the creative, reproductive center that is the second chakra. 

The second chakra is the locus of everything that has to do with sexuality, creativity, money, flow, pleasure, and our one-to-one relationships with other people. 

Healing the wounds of this center by letting go of the samskaras or unprocessed traumas our body is holding onto liberates a tremendous amount of creative energy.

In today's episode, I share with you how an accumulation of micro traumas as an adolescent -- not to mention macro traumas in later life -- contributed to a serious life-force leakage and distortions in my second chakra.

If your sexuality is not fully, healthily, joyfully expressed (whether you're partnered or single) you're functioning at a deficit and depriving yourself and the world of the most liberated, grounded, creative, spontaneous, empowered version of you.

Not to mention missing out on some pretty spectacular life-changing orgasms.

Oh yes.

All this and more today and in the weeks to come, in The Grace Space.

Would you believe that the Divine Will is for your perfect happiness? Joy and peace are not an idle dream, but our true inheritance.

So much of the conscious manifestation process is about learning to let go of the (false) belief that true happiness isn't really realistic or possible. 

I speak not of a naive kind of happiness that wilfully denies the full spectrum of human experience, the 'frozen smile' false happiness some call 'toxic positivity' -- but the deep, abiding joy that is already within you, placed there by our Creator, but covered over by guilt, fear, and doubt.

The spiritual purpose of desire is to help us dissolve the doubts we have about our worthiness to receive what we dearly want in our heart of hearts. Though the object of desire may take the form of something in the material world, such as a soulmate, our dream job, or our dream house, these forms ultimately reflect the deepest longing we have to feel whole and complete again and to live in beauty, ease and grace.

In this instalment of how I manifested my dream home in France, I've embedded some jewels for you to discover, such as...

• the MAIN block to manifesting what you deeply desire
• the true source of unconscious guilt and how to free yourself from it

• how a dream you cherish helps you overcome the very limitations that seem to stand between you and the object of your desire

• why it pays to be 'unreasonable' in conventional terms, and how it's actually a requirement for you to bring a dream into reality

And lots more. I reveal the surprising connection between the property and my spiritual home at my teacher's ashram, and the symbolism of transformation contained in the location, including what it taught me about my own journey coming full circle.

I also take you on a tour of the property! I've even included a secret video from the day I describe in this episode, just for those who listen to this podcast ;-)

Looking forward to seeing you in The Grace Space!

Are you at war with your body?

My guest today is a beautiful Light who has come to help you make peace with your body and develop a kinder, gentler relationship with it. She deeply understands that distortions in our perception of ourselves and our bodies are rooted in issues of self-worth that transcend the body — and that the path to peace with your body leads to true inner peace.

Dri Marie is the founder of the Body Joy Academy. She's a food and body image healer for women, mindful eating and mindfulness teacher and a certified coach. She healed herself from disordered eating and terrible body image by turning her back on diet culture and opening up to intuitive eating approaches as well as practicing self-kindness, self-compassion and body acceptance.

She believes that every woman deserves to be free from the tyranny of beauty and a reductive vision of health to finally start shining like the Goddess she is in a world that needs her gifts!

In this episode of The Grace Space, you'll learn...

• how our relationship with food and our bodies can contribute to stress, and how pressures to "perform health" can paradoxically make us feel worse about ourselves
• rest as a missing piece of food and body image healing, and how we chronically deny ourselves true rest by staying in "doing mode" all the time
• how to find your "healthy rebel" archetype - going against the grain of measuring our worth through external factors
• how the two modes of either resisting or drowning in emotions can keep us stuck in overwhelm, and how to bring mindfulness to emotions
• the power of gentle curiosity as the key quality to healing

And much more!
