In today’s episode I talk about the difference between “Organized Religion” and “Spirituality.” In order to illustrate and define the differences, I use a gym analogy. The analogy is: Organized religion is like guided weight machines and spirituality is like free weights. I speak about how we can appreciate the religion we were born into as we advance on our paths and grow spiritually. I also talk a little bit about how I spent my time studying these topics while I broke from social media for a year and a half. Additional note: For those who are interested in the exact Female Spiritual Path Course that I completed, you can find it at: www.clairenakti.com.

In this episode I speak briefly about my cosmetic rhinoplasty and the lesson of vulnerability I learned while healing from that surgery. I explain how we can build our spiritual “ark” and why this is important.

This episode is also available on my YouTube channel. When we hold onto negative emotions, these emotions take up physical residence in the body causing: Diseases, aches, pains, skin problems, hair loss, muscle knots, loss of youth, and joint issues (among many other ailments). Letting go of the past and stepping fully into the present moment helps us to retain our vitality and glow with health. Follow along with this peaceful meditation as I assist you with releasing troubling emotions in order to feel refreshed.

This session is also available on my YouTube Channel. This meditation will assist you in programming your mindset for: Self Love. Our thoughts form our physical reality, and if our thoughts are toxic ... so our life becomes as well. We can only get so far in our efforts to maintain physical well-being without also considering our self-talk. The atmosphere inside your head can either bolster your wellness efforts or hinder them. With proper guidance and practice, we can learn to program our minds in a way that encourages health on all levels of our being (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). Learning to maintain a healthy level of self-appreciation will assist with the cultivation of mental clarity, mental agility, and emotional intelligence.

Also available on my YouTube Channel! Yoga Nidra, or “Deep Yogic Sleep,” is an immensely powerful meditation technique. During this practice we stay carefully perched on the edge between sleeping and wakefulness. This magical state of consciousness is the gateway to total rejuvenation of the body and deep relaxation of the nervous system. During this episode, I guide you through a 25 minute Yoga Nidra meditation to calm your busy mind and allow you to fully melt into restorative Divine Rest. Get comfortable and let go of your tension with me.

We don’t become knowledgeable by consuming information. We become knowledge-able when we feel experiences with the body and gain experiential knowledge. Our experiential knowledge builds our unique “body of knowledge” and in this way, we become wise.

What is the nature of “spiritual anger” and why must we allow it to burn through us? In this episode, I speak about how we can completely surrender to the refiner’s fire as we allow it to break up internal stagnation and “tamasic” energy.

In this episode I examine the word “distraction” and how closely it is related to the word “traction.” I discuss how we need traction in order to stay on our spiritual paths - while using a wilderness analogy to demonstrate this.

How can we turn our daily drudgery into sacred reverence? Why would we want to? Today I explain how important it is to bridge the gap between routine and ritual, in real-life situations.

An investigation into the nature of spiritual truth and the acceptance of self. In this episode I bring forth the notion that in order to come closer to our own personal truths, we must take cues from our worldly lives. Email: valerieannacody@gmail.com
