Feeling Overwhelmed to Start People-ing Again? May 7, 2020 In British Columbia, Canada, we’re soon to have some of the Covid restrictions being lifted. In mid-May, we will be able to gather in small groups again.

Deepening Your Medicine (Part 2)

Deepening Your Medicine April 16, 2019 Last week I wrote about discovering your medicine, identifying what it is that you bring into this world. Your special gift that only you can gift to your little pocket of your community, or even the to the rest of the world. And that blog was really a precursor to what I’ve really been thinking about and feeling into for some time. To deepen into your medicine.

What is your Medicine (Part 1)

Discovering Your Medicine April 9, 2019 Gaining insight and clarity in life by discovering your medicine It’s such a gift to be able to know what one wants to do in this lifetime (or this part of this lifetime since we seem to go through many cycles in one life now!) Many are feeling like they are lost and ambling through life, being stuck in the day to day. The grind.

Becoming Who You Are

Removing the Masks March 22, 2019 Each of us goes through their own unfolding in life. Of finding who they are. The question is: can a person then just allow allow themselves to be, well, themselves. One of my favorite quotes by Joseph Campbell is: “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” And that’s what I’m sitting with, that’s what I’m being with. Each and every day.

My Spiritual Emergency: Greatest Gifts and Hardest Lessons

Not All Spiritual Awakenings are about Rainbows and Butterflies February 13, 2019 In fact, I’d hazard to say that most Spiritual Openings don’t involve the cute, fluffy stuff of life. We kind of have a collective “ooooh” factor around the words Spiritual Awakening. I’ve always shied away from using them to be honest. That’s a story for another day. I think the people that experience and integrate a Spiritual Emergency or Crisis are incredible souls.

Discovering a gentler and more inspired way to make decisions January 22, 2018 Flower Essences are one of the best forms of plant medicine I have stumbled upon as a highly sensitive person (tea is pretty high on my list haha).

When Pain Stopped Me

Finding A Way Through January 10, 2019 I stumbled upon this path the other day. I remember the first time I encountered it. It looked like a massive challenge to me at the time. I was (figuratively and literally) climbing my way back to being healthy after my body had broken down. Stairs of any kind struck fear into me because of the pain I felt going up them. I didn’t know how I was going to navigate the world with what was becoming chronic pain.

How I Went From Emergency Nurse to Energy Healer

Hear my story [right here] (https://arianafotinakis.com/tds-41-the-energetic-root-of-chronic-pain-with-lisa-matthews/) and how this led me to work with energy, the nervous system, and Spirit. October 1, 2018 Did you know I used to be an Emergency Department Nurse? And that I (thought) I absolutely thrived off the chaos and busy-ness of that environment? I loved the instant gratification that came from seeing someone sick or in pain, giving a drug, and magically they felt better!

How To Let Go Like Nature

It’s Not About Spring Cleaning This Year… September 9, 2018 I wanted to connect with you again and see how you’re doing as we shift into fall. You see, I used to always be a bit sad about fall. I wanted the beautiful green leaves to stay and the hot summer sun to keep beating down. And yet now, it has come to be a time of year I love.

Boundaries and Body Awareness

Using the wisdom in the body to help guide us in honoring our boundaries. May 30, 2018 Hands up who has ever had a challenge maintaining their boundaries. How about saying no to something you don’t want to do? Or what about wanting to ask for what we need, but not being sure how to say it? (Both my hands are waving wildly in the air for all of these).
