Heart-Based Decisions & Transformational Change with Jennifer Helwing

In this episode, co-host Jennifer Helwing shares about heart-based decision making and using intuition when facing major decisions or transformations in our lives. In other words, using our intuition to navigate life. This episode is for anyone who is learning to use their intuition more.
2:45 - Jenn and Katrina share their own definitions of what intuition means to them.
5:18 - "Our highest selves exist outside of this realm of time and space. There is a realm outside of time where your higher self exists where that decision has already been made. Everything you are ever going to do has already been done outside of that realm of time. There is a part of it where you are feeling that alignment with that because it's already happened or it's already the right thing. It just feels right. It's like deja vu in reverse." - Jenn
6:06 - "You have to block out all the other external stimuli and really feel inwards. Not with your mind or with fear of judgement. You are really focusing inwards and listening to the soul or highest self inner wisdom." - Katrina
8:12 - Katrina shares a personal story about the idea of "being on path or off path." It's all about perspective. Sometimes the difficult experiences cause us to make changes that bring us more in alignment.
15:38 - Jenn talks about what motivates us to make decisions. "Human behaviour is motivated by one of two things. We either go towards something that we think is going to give us pleasure or happiness, or we are moving away from something that we think is going to give us discomfort or suffering. Those are the two motivations that are behind every decision that we make in life." - Jenn
19:00 - Jenn shares a heart-based decision making practice that she uses to support her clients that helps to highlight a shadow side of the person and illuminates a deeply-rooted fear.
21:00 - Katrina shares an observation about children who display behaviour problems because they are not having some needs met, and she relates it to our inner child in our own lives. Often times it's our inner child that is unconsciously making our decisions for us.
22:37 - Jenn shares an example about heart-based decision making in a major life-changing decision.
26:40 - "When we are making that decision from an authentic motivation, we are no longer driven by fear or attachment. Then we are at peace with ourselves and at peace with that decision." - Jenn
27:25 - Katrina talks about how healing leads to the raising of our vibrations, and how that can attract more outcomes that are more in alignment with the healed side rather than the shadow side.
28:46- Jenn begins a discussion about fear versus intuition in decision making.
31:31-32:26 - "Fear is not a separate force. It is an absence of clear seeing, an absence of clear understanding. So what we can really say is that fear is an absence of intuition." - Jenn
34:48 - Katrina shares a tidbit about her energy forecast for March that she received in the Akashic records related to fear and expanding out of your comfort zone.
35:43-36:29 - "You are going to feel fear if you are out of your comfort zone, but if you are always in your comfort zone, you are never really growing or evolving." - Katrina
37:53 - Katrina shares about the hero's journey in relation to these topics. "If you see yourself as the hero of your journey, its empowering. You can trust that you are going down into the more challenging aspects of your path, but it's not going to be that way forever. It's leading you to something better than what you could have known before." Katrina
39:29 - Jenn shares practical techniques (called "parts work") for heart-based decision making without the conflicting influence of fear.

Embodied Spirituality Pt. 2: Upper Chakras

This week, Jenn and Katrina are continuing their conversation started in last week's episode about embodied spirituality, which is addressing the way that our bodies are impacted by energy, how they hold wounding, and how that can manifest in our lives.
If you haven't yet listened to last week's episode, we recommend you listen to that one first so you can fully receive the information in part 2.
In part 2, Jenn & Katrina are talking about the four upper main chakras (heart, throat, third eye, and crown), and what they look like when overactive and underactive. This episode is packed with practical information and tips for you to balance your own chakras!
1:40 - Jenn shares how blockages or wounding in the lower chakras are very common, and can cause overactivity in the upper chakras.
2:20 - Wounding or blockages in the lower chakras can lead to feelings of not wanting to be here, which leads to chasing feelings of bliss or oneness in spirituality. This is excessive and not balanced.
5:19 - Jenn shares about the heart chakra,
7:04 - Jenn shares about the energetic channel between the root, heart, and crown chakras. This channel is where we get our energy up from the root from the earth, and down from the cosmos through the crown, and these energies meet in the heart where they center us. Katrina calls this "the center of our being."
8:38 - "The purest energy of all of our chakras is the spiritual state. it's not anything we have to do or strive for. It is something that is innate. It is our truth. It is our connection to ourselves."
9:33 - Jenn shares how the heart can be the place of inner peace and equanimity when in a healthy balance of activity.
12:15-13:13 - Jenn shares a tip for opening and awakening the energy in the heart chakra.
13:24 - Katrina shares a recent experience for her sitting in the presence of her feelings and connecting with her heart chakra.
14:53 - "I like to see the heart as the center of understanding, whereas the mind is the realm of knowing. We don't always have to know everything, but we can understand. So understanding takes a little more faith, it's a little more subtle." - Jenn
16:55 - "When our hearts are fully open, we are embodying our higher selves. It's not a connection, it's an embodying, a becoming." - Jenn
17:50 - 18:43 "Wherever there is no judgement, there is no fear. And wherever there is no fear, there is love. And that's the heart chakra." - Jenn, dropping so many INCREDIBLE gems in this episode!!!
22:25 - Jenn shares methods to heal the heart chakra.
23:57 - Katrina shares a method she practices to overcome judgement and align with connection and love.
26:47 - Katrina shares about the throat chakra, including examples of overactive throat chakra energy and underactive throat chakra energy.
30:29 - Katrina shares about a past life that negatively impacts her throat chakra today.
32:28 - "Am I sharing my truth? Am I speaking my full expression? Am I holding back because I am afraid? Am I holding back because of some trauma?" - A lot of us would say yes to some of these questions, but there are ways to heal.
34:10 - 35:12 "Do you feel like your life is in alignment with who you truly are?" "When we continuously start speaking our truth, we start to live our truth. We start to embody our truth. We start to let our lives be this expression of our truth. Our lives are the greatest story that we tell. When our lives become in alignment with who we truly are, then we are living our truth." - Jenn
35:49 - Katrina shares suggestions on how to help heal your through chakra.
38:40 - Katrina shares about the third eye chakra.
39:26 - Katrina shares about different ways of sensing your intuition (the clairs).
40:32 - 41:20 - Jenn shares how the third eye chakra is different from what we associate as our "mind."
41:40 - Katrina shares examples of an overactive and underactive third eye chakra.
42:29 - Jenn shares about her mental health journey.
42:50-43:21 - "How I like to understand it is that all mental unwellness, or psychological unwellness, is a state of disconnection from our soul, a disconnection from love, a disconnection from our true nature. And it's never your fault. It's a result of trauma, intergenerational trauma, a very unhealed world, but it's never your fault." - Jenn
45:19 - Jenn shares about the Divine Feminine channel and the Divine Masculine channel in relation to our chakras.
47:30 - Katrina shares methods for healing and balancing the third eye chakra, and improving intuition.
48:33-49:29 - Jenn shares a tip to avoid a trap that many people fall into when trying to develop their intuition.
49:50 - Katrina shares about how she supports her clients make decisions when reading their Akashic records.
51:33 - Jenn shares about the crown chakra.
53:20 - Katrina and Jenn discuss how depression could be a symptom of a blocked crown chakra.
55:24-56:21 - "Your vibration is not determined by what you feel. It's determined by how you are feeling it. You can feel sadness, anger, so many things. But how are you feeling it? Are you letting it get you down, or are you letting those feelings be your teachers, your guides, your healers?" - Jenn
58:50 - Jenn shares a breathing exercise to help support your root-heart-crown chakra channel.

Embodied Spirituality & Healing the Lower Chakras

This week, Jenn and Katrina are talking about embodied spirituality, which is addressing the way that our bodies are impacted by energy, how they hold wounding, and how that can manifest in our lives.
We will be talking about the three lower main chakras (root, sacral, & solar plexus) in this episode, and in future episodes we will cover the other main chakras.
We discuss the idea that spirituality itself is a tool for healing, unbecoming, and awakening, so that we can return to our lives with open hearts, clear minds, and and an embodied representation of that infinite love and creative energy that we are on a soul deep level. Embodied spirituality translates into how we show up in our lives, how we treat others, our relationships, and how we actively devote ourselves to creating more loving-kindness, peacefulness, and joy in the world.
When we have blocks in our energy, they show up in how we relate to our bodies and to our lives in general. We need to first heal our deepest wounds, in order to be able to hold and consistently embody the energies of bliss, loving-kindness, and joy.

The Great Unbecoming

In this episode, Jenn & Katrina are talking about shadow work, healing emotional and energetic wounds, and the process of “Unbecoming,” the shedding of conditioning that is necessary in order to know yourself at a soul level.
Jenn & Katrina each share their own stories of unbecoming, and also provide tips and tools to help you go through this process.
Unbecoming is something SO many of us are going through right now, or have gone through in the past!

Living Cyclically

In this episode, co-hosts Jennifer and Katrina talk about what it means to live a cyclical life, how living cyclically relates to the Divine Feminine, the balance of feminine and masculine energies within us, and more!
5:55 - Jenn talks about how sun cycles (the season) are related to community.
7:45 - Jenn shares about the “red cycle” and the “white cycle.”
8:30 - Katrina ponders if her womb healing journey has affected the timing of her cycle.
9:00 - “If you bleed on the new moon, it’s very much inviting you to connect with yourself. Whereas if you bleed on the full moon, or close to the full moon, that means that you are the midwife. Which means that your job is to help other women, support other women, and be a healer to others.” - Jenn
11:00 - Katrina shares her traumatic experience with an IUD.
14:00 - “We need to normalize talking about our cycles.” - Jenn
16:20 - Katrina & Jenn talk about societal conditioning and how it has caused the under-valuing of rest. “Rest is something that is valuable whether or not you feel good.”
“It devalues the feminine.”
17:50 - Discussion about the systems of patriarchy and capitalism and how that has affecting our views as a collective about rest.
“The Western culture of ‘You are only as valuable as you are productive’ is super damaging because it teaches us that we have to be productive in order to be worth anything as a human being.” - Jenn
“The feminine has the wisdom to understand that, yes, maybe you can feel joy from spending money and consuming things, but you can also feel so much happiness from being with your friends, being with your family, going out in nature, singing, dancing, enjoying life.” - Jenn
19:11 - “As the feminine, we can start reclaiming this idea that we don’t need anything to be happy, and that we can enjoy rest and enjoy leisure, and that these are things that are important to us. When we start prioritizing these things again, we are taking the power away from the system and giving ourselves the power.” - Jenn
23:00 - Jenn shares suggestions about things you can do to live cyclically, more in sync with your cycle or the moon cycles.
26:00 - Katrina shares how she is scheduling her calendar to honor her phases.
30:56 - “It's like giving yourself the gift of time to devote to what makes your heart happy.” - Katrina
32:28 - “Take it (PMS symptoms) as a signal or a wonderful reminder to center yourself amidst the chaos.” - Jenn
“The feminine can be like water, and a lot of times it can need a container in order to be able to flourish to be in its full expression.” - Jenn, about the time of inner fall/the waning moon/the luteal phase.
36:50 - Jenn shares about how your ability to release and let go can impact the next cycle. Karina shares about a fantastic practice she learned about how you can give your period a “job” to release something symbolically with the shedding of the blood.
39:00 - Jenn shares how the inner fall (luteal phase) is the time of wild woman energy.
42:00 - “This is your time of input, this is your time to receive.” - Jenn speaking about the menstrual phase/new moon/inner winter.

9:34-10:05 - "You have to sit back and have the intention to receive whatever is meant to come rather than pushing outward." - Katrina
10:40 - Jennifer shares about her silence practice. Sit in silence for 30 mins and just be. Ask yourself:

Connecting to Divine Feminine Energy

TW: Sexual trauma is mentioned in this episode (not in great detail)
In this episode, we discuss the divine feminine, what it is, our experiences with this energy, and we will also share some recommendations for you to connect more with the divine feminine within you.
2:02 - “The Divine Feminine is the pure expression of feminine energy.” - Jenn
5:23 - Jenn shares how the seasons of Earth relate to the Divine Masculine and Feminine energies.
8:40 - Katrina discusses her experience with the feminine wound, living more in the masculine energy as a survival mechanism, shadow work.
10:38 - Capitalism/the economy values production, which is inherently masculine. This causes the feminine to be undervalued unless it is .
11:48 - Katrina talks about “unbecoming.”
12:25 - Katrina discusses how ancestral wounding can impact our feminine expression and experience.
13:20 - “What femininity can be for all of us is such a spectrum. For some women, it can be very sexual, and for others it can look like being a nun. But those are both the divine feminine.” - Jenn
“We have to find our own way of what feels the most empowering to us, and what feels feminine to us. That looks really different for a lot of women.” - Jenn
14:09 - “If you are triggered by something, that’s telling you something about your wounding. It’s not about them, it’s about you.” - Katrina
15:38 - Discussion about receiving pleasure
18:30 - Discussion about what it looks like to be wounded in the Divine Feminine and being empowered in the Divine Feminine. Jenn shares her experience.
21:30 - “The energy of the Divine Masculine honours, protects, and uplifts the goodness of the world, while the Divine Feminine nourishes, heals, and brings love into the darkness. Things fall apart when the masculine only honours, protects, and uplifts himself, and the feminine is too wounded to nourish, heal, or love herself.” - Jenn
23:00 - Discussion about how to heal the DF
26:00 - Jenn shares an activity for connecting with the DF within you.
29:50 - Katrina shares some suggestions for healing the DF from her own healing journey.
42:00 - Discussion about how intuition is the DF, how intuition has helped us come home to our DF.
“Before I started developing my intuition, before I realized that we are intuitive beings, I was living more in my masculine. I think it’s not a coincidence that my spiritual awakening and my intuition development has been happening simultaneously to me shedding the conditioning. The most you deepen you intuition
44:45 - “The DF has to feel safe to be in full expression. We have to have both trust and faith in order to fully express our DF.” - Jenn
“When we can learn to trust both our bodies and our intuition, we are so powerful.” - Jenn
48:24 - “We are sacred. Our bodies are sacred. Who we are is sacred. Our lives are sacred.” - Jenn
48:50 - Exercise to reclaim your sacredness
