EPISODE 131: RESTORING OUR VITAL ENERGY

Hi everyone,

We hope you’ve enjoyed our recent podcasts about ghosts and our life with the spirit world,
and that this year Halloween will be pleasantly meaningful as well as the usual kind of spooky fun.

The Day of the Dead/All Soul’s Day, is coming up, so remember to tune in to an ancestor on the other side, and say a little “hello there,” if you want.

Switching gears, because of a listener request,

Erin and I will happily circle back around to go deeper into some questions from earlier podcasts:

1) How do I restore my vital energy when I feel so drained from circumstances beyond my control? and
2) How do I know if I am understanding and following my your intuition correctly?
Or, Discernment for Dummies.

There’s a lot more to be said on both of these fronts, so please join in on our jam this week and next.

Do you feel sometimes, like I have, that “my life is a worthy organization that is understaffed and underfunded, and I’m tired before the day begins …?”

Do you wonder, “Where on earth will some new energy come from?”

Tune in! Lots of good ideas for you are flowing here in these next two conversations.

Peace, friends,
Mary and Erin

Have a listen!

EPISODE 131: RESTORING OUR VITAL ENERGY

Learning how to restore our vital energy when it’s drained,
is a life skill that we need to develop and employ from time to time.

Certain life situations are draining and exhausting

– grief during a time of loss, or
– dealing with a loved one’s medical crisis, or
– working in a company that is going through stressful changes, or
– being in a stage of family life that asks you to keep showing up to do a lot with very little…

At times like these, we are tempted to be

– snappy and irritable, or
– judge people around us, or prop ourselves up with an unhealthy addiction.
– we might even get sick, just to get ourselves some space and rest.

In this episode, we find Erin at an all-time energy low from a combination of these things: a trip for a family medical crisis, a busy time at work, and an unexpected flood in her home.

She’s hit a wall and is ready to fall over, wondering if there’s anything that can be done besides collapse or “soldier on.”

Mary feels in the pink and perky due to her recent discoveries about managing vital energy during demanding times, and she shares some simple ideas.

Listen in, and remember to give yourself the easy breaks you need,
starting with 15 minutes of quiet time
and a full glass of water,
and opening up to luck and magic to step in,

STARTING NOW!

EPISODE 130: Our Life with The Invisible

Dear friends,

“There’s a benevolent plot afoot, and the conspirators are everywhere, visible and invisible.
Their mission: the complete destruction of my fears and limitations, and the complete fulfillment of my life purposes.” – from The New Kitchen Mystic

Oh! I’m enjoying doing this podcast so much, and I hope you are enjoying this meaty storytelling I am allowing myself to shamelessly indulge in.

This week we continue our appreciation of the weird and wonderful

as we explore our interface with other beings in the Invisible:
animal spirits, angels, and special places in Nature, as I tell about some of my spiritual adventures in my wild 40 acres.

Can the spirit of a bear roam the woods?

Did the spirit of the former landowner guide my husband around to show him his uncompleted tasks?

Did Jack the dog have and invisible friend, a white wolf?

Was it really my mother’s ghostly hand on my back on Mother’s Day, come back to thank me for something?

Are there 12 Step meetings in heaven? (What?!) My Dad’s spirit told me that there are.

I hope that when you listen to this week’s podcast you will remember
how enchanted and precious this world is, and how filled with love.

Much love to you,
Mary and Erin

EPISODE 130: Our Life with The Invisible

We belong to a Mystery,

and it’s our joyous duty to learn how to honor it, enjoy it, and create with it.

The spirit world is right next to, and woven into and throughout the physical world.
We are in relationship with people that we know, and spirits who we sense.

And we’re all citizens of The Benevolent Universe,
a point of view that is really worth subscribing to.

Mary and Erin are hot now, into a stream of storytelling about our life with the Invisible world.

Enjoy Mary’s comfort level with the easy ebb and flow between the seen and the unseen, and Erin’s enthusiasm to become comfortable with it.

EPISODE 129: GHOST STORIES!

Hi friends,

 

Well, we got on a roll with this storytelling thing, and so we thought we’d do a podcast about a certain special genre of stories – ghost stories!

Who doesn’t love a good ghost story?
(Especially if it’s for real.)

I’ve got a handful of ghost stories to share with you, from the era of my life where I engaged in the weird and noble art of “ghostbusting,” which is more accurately described as “ghost therapy.”

Are you scared?     Don’t be.
As I explained to Erin, most ghosts are just extremely ordinary people who died but stayed on Earth in their usual “haunts,” so to speak, instead of moving on.

And a study has shown that fully 68% of Americans report that they had a visit from a dearly departed person, and that this spirit experience was actually a comforting, purposeful event in their life.

Ghosts, ancestors, guides, animal spirits, nature spirits, angels, and Master teachers ….

the spirit world is a friendly mystery that is fun to talk about,

so tune in this week and next week to enjoy contemplating our life with the Invisible.

It’s all good!
Mary and Erin

EPISODE 129: GHOST STORIES!

Ghost stories are a perennial, much-loved genre of storytelling,
and as a mystic, Mary has had enough encounters with ghosts and other spirits, that she can say with confidence,

“This is just part of life, and basically it’s all pretty normal and nice.”

Erin’s not so sure! (scared!!)

but as ever, she is open-minded and curious, and willing to go where Mary leads, in this unique conversation about interacting with ghosts.

Does a ghost attend their own funeral, to communicate with the living? Can a ghost make toast in the kitchen?

Is the spirit world right here, with us, all the time?

How does it influence us?

This week’s podcast is the first of two that explore our life with the Invisible.
