A series of conversations and musings from the heart to support and encourage you on your spiritual path. Acknowledging it’s a skill set that isn’t always as measurable as others but deeply rewarding nonetheless.

The Power and Beauty of "No" 06/06/2025

The Power and Beauty of "No" In this episode, I am joined once again by my Australian soul friends Melanie Oborne and Natalie Oakley. We are discussing the potential power of choosing when to say "No" to opportunities and how to allow a "No" to actually open doors for you. It seems counter intuitive, but sometimes this level of trust and inner discernment truly is the fuel which allows the new to take root in your life and the world around you. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/36434030

Trusting and expressing your inner voice 05/30/2025

Trusting and expressing your inner voice In this episode, I am speaking with my friend Trinh Vu about the unique way in which each of us listens to our inner voice. How we learn the language of our own Soul and discern truth, why we need to accept all parts of the self and stay present to the moment in order to access authentic expression on this life journey. We will also touch on the theme of Ancestral healing and the courage it takes to break karmic patterns on behalf of your soul line and ancestors. You can follow Trinh and her soulful musings on Instagram /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35999275

Original Self and the Inner Child 05/23/2025

Original Self and the Inner Child In this episode, I am joined again by Bahia Askri, lightworker, healer and teacher. We are picking up a conversational thread that started at the end of our first chat in episode 6, one that is very close to my heart - the empowerment of the self by trusting your inner child, not as an energy needing healing, but as the essence of our own purity and original self. this energy can guide, inspire and nourish you, reminding you of beauty and truth in the face of challenges. We will share our experiences of this empowered inner child energy and hopefully inspire you to view this part of self with some more awe and curiosity.

White Magic and elevating your own frequency 05/16/2025

White Magic and elevating your own frequency In this episode, I am solo and wanting to touch on the concept of what I term "White Magic' or "Light work" One of the most beautiful and benefical things we can do as part of our spiritual practice is to draw in light and raise both frequency and consciouness for all beings on Earth. Whatever efforts we make towards focusing on spiritual energy through prayer, meditation, altar work, or even offering guidance or energy sessions to clients or the earth herself, all this contributes to elevating the frequency of the planet. I am sharing some of the tips I utilise and hope this inspires you to expand your own lightwork practices. This work is more important than ever right now and no offering is too small or ever goes unnoticed by the Spiritual realms. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/36182895

Fatigue on earth, and the spiritual side of this 05/09/2025

Fatigue on earth, and the spiritual side of this In this Episode, I am joined by my guest Bahia Askri, lightworker, transformational guide and teacher. We are talking about the current experience on earth of tiredness and fatigue for everyone. We are shining a light on this subject that lots of people are discussing, with the intention to empower people out of thinking this is a negative phenomonen. To understand the spiritual, and energetic reasons why this is occurring and how we can lean into it to gentle the process of change, upgrades and fifth dimensional alignments for all of Earth and us, her human inhabitants. You can connect with Bahia on Instagram as @bahia.undefined or her website www.universalhuman.ca /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35971295

Soul Congruence 05/02/2025

Soul Congruence In this episode, I am chatting with my friend Suzanne Balcom about the soul and the frequencies that make up each unique path. Who and what does your soul resonate with and where have you perhaps experienced a dissonance? It's all part of our path and we learn even from seemingly "inharmonious" frequencies as well, of course. We are also touching on a very important precept of the spiritual path - "Walking your talk", showing up in life authentically and staying true to your soul. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35882675

Discipline and Devotion on the Path 04/25/2025

Discipline and Devotion on the Path In this episode, I am joined by my friend Rachael Staples from the Temple of Light UK who is moving along her spiral journey in her offerings to the beautiful "I am the Divine Oracle". We are talking about what it takes to stay connected on a daily basis to the light of your own soul. How do you show up for the spiritual side of your life? What nourishes you on this level? What is the balance in living the practicalities of a human existence along with the esoteric energy of the soul. This is the great experiment! This is what we are here on earth to live. Divine partnership, the material and spiritual realms united. You can connect with Rachael on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iamthedivineoracle /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35740290

Sideways Progress on the Path 04/11/2025

Sideways Progress on the Path In this episode, I am solo and musing on the spiritual journey. It's not always about constant striving to get to where you think you want to be. Not all forward movement is ultimately helpful to wholistic, spiritual success. Quite often, it's the times in between happenings, the uncertainty or the rest periods where you may not know what the next step will be, that are the most helpful in bringing you resolution and understanding. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is be where you are on an emotional level. What are you feeling? What might be making you uncomfortable is most probably the seed of growth that will eventually propel you onto a new "Playing Field" So, let's discuss navigating the unknown with honesty and courage! /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35718550

"Selfish Spirituality", what does that mean? 04/04/2025

"Selfish Spirituality", what does that mean? In this episode, I am joined by my friend Rena Dumas so that we can discuss a theme that might sound strange - "Selfish Spirituality" When we are talking about our spiritual daily practice, is there ever really such a thing as being "selfish" with this energy? We must nourish ourselves first, so that we have more than enough to share with the world. I prefer the term "Everyday enlightenment" this means that while our daily practice may not seem always active to others, on a spiritual level, the effort you put in will always have a positive contribution to the collective. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35740090

Goddess Wisdom 03/28/2025

Goddess Wisdom In this first episode for season two, I am joined across the globe by my friend Karen. We will be chatting about The Goddess, the path of self love and acceptance and our human bodies. How do we connect to the divine feminine within? This is an energy we all have, regardless of our gender indentification. It helps you access your intuition and learn to navigate the sometimes mysterious leanings of the spiritual path. We hope to share our love of the Goddess and our devotion to the path of enlightened wisdom with you. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35718410

Season Two Trailer 10,000 hours and counting... 03/21/2025

Season Two Trailer 10,000 hours and counting... Welcome to a new year and a new season of my podcast. I'm back to offer support on the spiritual journey and will also be chatting to new and returning guests. I will be sharing wisdom from my experiences on the path in order to encourage you to keep honouring the progress of yours! This journey is not "one size fits all", but hopefully you will find resonance and encouragement in listening. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/35718165

Divine Feminine energy and the number "13" 12/13/2024

Divine Feminine energy and the number "13" In this episode, I am joined across the globe by my dear friend Rena Dumas, to chat about the Divine Feminine. We will talk about how this energy may be felt by you personally, how it can support your life and also how it connects to and works with your inner Divine Masculine energy. We also discuss the number 13 and its true associations with the Divine Feminine and the cycles of the Moon. This number is sometimes thought of as “bad luck” and so we are demystifying this and re-empowering it so that you can honour this sacred energy on your own path and help to bring it's frequency into your life. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/34224645

Keeping the Faith in Challenging Times 12/06/2024

Keeping the Faith in Challenging Times In this episode, I'll be talking about your inner power and claiming this strength. When things seem overwhelming to you, how do you dig deep and rely on the spiritual principles you believe in? I likw to call this "walking our talk". I will share the empowerment of following your own path and stopping the habit of comparing your journey and achievements on your path to those of another. To do this only shrivels your soul and true spiritual energy does not need to compete in the world. Learning the difference between isolation and the inner sanctum of your soul can be extremely helpful during challlenging times. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/34224570

December 2024 New Moon in Sagittarius Guided Blessing Meditation I offered this session in Australia this morning to a small group. The intention was to harness the energy of this December New Moon, to integrate and honour this year, with all of it's struggles and all, of it's gifts. May you receive and be blessed.

Gratitude for the music from Mitch Tambo "Heal" Cello Joe and Evan Fraser "The inevitable" Gratitude for the message from the "Crystal Reading Cards" by Rachelle Charman (Rockpool Publishing) /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/34214225

The Spiritual Warrior, what does this really mean? 11/29/2024

The Spiritual Warrior, what does this really mean? In this episode, I am talking about the term "Spiritual Warrior" and explaining the truth of this. What does this actually mean, how can we claim this energy and do you resonate with it? I will also be discussing the active process of communicating wth the spiritual realms everyday, otherwise known as "everyday enlightenment" and finally, offering some tips on how to keep going on your path even when things feel very challenging. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/34171030

The sacred "art" of Space Holding 11/22/2024

The sacred "art" of Space Holding In this episode I am musing on the ways in which we as spiritual beings and also practitioners work with energy to set up the space where we offer our work or modality. I am championing the sensitives who sense subtle energies and are able to work with this skill to positively affect others. I'm talking to you if you're the type who people are attracted to share their story or their challenges with and covering how this can be a beautiful energy exchange when the lightworker has proper boundaries, along with the desire to create an opportunity for another to access their own inner wisdom and feel safe to explore deeper emotions. This is a skill which usually comes naturally and then develops organically, with opportunity to practice and experience. It's a sacred offering from a balanced, wise heart and a deeply important part of allowing your clients to fully integrate the spiritual light you are sharing with them via your work. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/33842972

Aligning with your unique Soul Path 11/15/2024

Aligning with your unique Soul Path In this episode, I am joined in conversation by two friends and fellow healing practitioners, Natalie and Melanie. We are talking about alignment and what this means on the spiritual path. When does alignment actually mean not a pivot to force a change, but instead grounding yourself into an apparant challenge in order to receive the gold (integrated lesson) of that challenge? This is what helps you with the construction of solid foundations. We chat about the art of learning to trust your guidance and accept the bumps in the road, these may actually turn out to be very valuable! /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/33608422

Why the "Black Sheep" has such an important role 11/07/2024

Why the "Black Sheep" has such an important role In this episode I am musing on what it means to be outside of the "norm" on your spiritual path. You may resonate with the term "black sheep" but here, I am using it as an empowerment descriptor. Acknowledging the black sheep as a Pattern breaker, someone who allows your differences to find expression in the world and ultimately unlock the specific pathways for you and your light on your unique soul journey. How do we find ways to foster a sense of belonging and how do we heal from the experience of being misundrstood and perhaps even marginalised? Welcome to the earth school, where polarity is a master teacher! I'm celebrating all you people who feel you live against the grain and maybe even on the fringes, your thinking, your way of being and living is important to supporting the change our human collecitve is currently going through. We are birthing the new. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/33461147

Realms Yet Seen...Losing sight of your own shore 11/01/2024

Realms Yet Seen...Losing sight of your own shore In this episode, I am joined again in conversation with my friend and fellow spiritual practitioner Angela Lawson. We chat about unplugging from mass consciousness and the way this has affected everyone in the collective; the upheaval we see in the world at present and how to surrender your logical mind to the fires of spiritual transformation. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/33461007

Your Life Purpose, what is this? 10/24/2024

Your Life Purpose, what is this? Life Purpose - it's a term that most of us will have heard, but what exactly does it mean for you? On a spiritual path, purpose equals meaning. It's not just about what you do in the world, it's who you are and how you live and experience your life. Join me while I talk about Life Purpose. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/33256402

The 90/10 Rule 10/18/2024

The 90/10 Rule Or, "The tip of your own Iceberg" In this episode, I will be sharing a spiritual principle called the "90/10 rule". It's another strand towards the personalisation and unique crafting of your own spiritual path. There is deep benefit in keeping a certain mystery to parts of your journey, There is magic in your own unique essence and not all of that needs to be shared outside of your own relationship to Source and your higher guidance. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/33256052

Potions and Poisons for Healers 10/11/2024

Potions and Poisons for Healers Here I am in conversation again with my friend Angela. This time, we are talking about the ways we either help or hinder ourselves as a healer or spiritual sensitive. How do you nourish yourself on your path and what could you steer clear of in order to make your life path and capacity to be a healing channel for others smooth and flowing. /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/33229552

Body Wisdom; the body remembers 10/04/2024

Body Wisdom; the body remembers In this episode, I discuss the role that our body plays in our soul journey. How we can learn to listen to the wisdom of our body. Helping you to gain a deeper understanding when your body is signalling issues from your ancestral line or past aspects of self, and these are presenting as aches, pains and illnesses. How do you lean into this and create more freedom and healing for yourself in the present. #bodywisdom #healthepast #bodysoul /episode/index/show/8138897c-bd9b-411d-b5f3-e3cf44e8f15d/id/32873202

And why this podcast? 10,000 hours and counting, or "support for the spiritual journey" I'm Laura Geermans, a healer, teacher, mentor and writer, on the spiritual path pretty much from the word "Go".
