Sometimes we need to do something radical to announce to ourselves that we want a change. For me, it was shaving my head. 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!
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 rescue mission. We also talk about 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 it's 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 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.
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. Learning how to feel again is how we begin to thaw the parts of our heart that have been frozen in time.
On the old seafaring maps, they used to draw dragons and sea monsters on the uncharted territories and unknown places. The unknown is scary simply because... it's unknown. But the great teachers have always told us to walk straight ahead, no matter what: all fear is an illusion. Today 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. What I wasn't expecting was the reaction I received, almost universally.
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.
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. In this series, I 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.
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.

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 and how to recapture your child-like innocence, that sweet freedom and trust in life, but with the added dimension of wisdom
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.
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.
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.
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.
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, using today's alchemical key.
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.
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. In this episode I share a powerful alchemical key in the form of one simple mantra that opens a channel in you for the highest resolution of any problem you are facing -- how to let go of worrying and trying to solve problems, and how to see any problem as for you, not against you.
'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. 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!
If you assume you're exercising your 'free will' in your life, this episode is for you.
We have a lot of unexamined assumptions in life. In fact, we have inherited and acquired loads of programming, just like a computer. And our free will is sharply circumscribed by it. 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. But letting go of this attachment is necessary for finding true freedom and actualizing our highest potential.
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. Peace, joy, love and abundance are states of Being that are natural to us, in the sense that they belong to our True Nature. In this first episode, we'll learn the first of 11 keys that bring us back to empowerment: owning your creation, no matter what it looks like.
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 a powerful spiritual technology into my life.
Kundalini Yoga is the perfect tool for our day and age. Learn how it can help you to move through the ascension process our planet is in with a lot more ease and grace.
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.
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.
I'm excited to introduce you to Rachel Astarte, a performer, voice-over artist, kundalini yogi, podcaster, author, and holistic psychotherapist. Rachel is a Self Specialist: she helps others come into Unity through the portal of individuality. In this conversation, you'll understand that there truly is nothing to be afraid of. Our only function on this planet is beyond all the roles we play, and consists simply of aligning with and expressing our highest gifts. The question is, do we have the courage to move through the Ring of Fire and trust that it really is enough to BE? On the other side, a life of grace and ease awaits!
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. 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. 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.

Join me for a conversation with multi-award nominated and award-winning Theatre Creator Rebecca Northan. 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.
In the crucible of the lockdown months that passed between my one and only visit to my dream home 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?
Yes, this is a cool story about manifestation. But that's not why I'm sharing it with you. I’m telling you this story to encourage you to turn within for your guidance and listen to your heart. Stop giving away your power. Stop looking for guidance outside of you from the media or someone else’s opinion. Give yourself a chance to see what happens when you trust and follow your heart and allow yourself to be carried by the flow of Life.

Stress is a by-product of our fallen state, our belief in separation from our Source. One of the ways we remember our Divine origins is by coming together in spiritual community under the inspired and aligned mentorship of those whose function it is to hold the space for transformation.

Our feeling of personal empowerment is directly related to the degree to which we accept that we experience a reality of our own making, and that our perception is fundamentally distorted. Are you ready to rethink everything? It might be the most liberating thing you ever do.
