Cruising in the Light and Shadow

Episode #19: Fandoms, Hobbies, Passions, and Self Care

Episode #19: Fandoms, Hobbies, Passions, and Self Care. This particular episode is about fandoms, passionate pursuits, and self-care. Are you bursting to see Avengers: Infinity War? Do you have a Groot or doll collection you discuss ad nauseam on Twitter? Do you talk non-stop about fantasy football or other sports? Does work take a dull second after your favorite video game? You may have a love or a passion for something that makes people shake their heads. It could be movies, actors, politics, gambling, musicians, knitting, dancing, a book series, cooking, soap operas, and even spiritual groups or practices.

Don’t rationalize it! Join us as we discuss the ups and down of your inner fan girl and boy. Your passions may complete you, but there is more here than a simple obsession. You are a work in progress. Face the music that plays on repeat in your head, pick up your favorite stuffed animal, and come with us! You are not alone or even insane. Though you may be a bit addicted, you are really searching for the next layer of your rising consciousness. Look within. You are cruising the light and shadow and all is not lost!

Episode #17: Holistic and Energy Healing

Episode #17: Holistic and Energy Healing. We welcome back Laurie St. Clare this week for a discussion about holistic and energetic healing methods. Laurie and Inanna are both Usui Reiki practitioners. In our previous chat with Laurie, we discovered she is a Medical Astrologer—in addition to her other practices. Inanna is a Holy Fire Karuna Reiki practitioner as well. We talk about how energy healing works on the layers of our etheric and subtle bodies and how disease shows up differently than in the physical body. We look at how to take care of yourself in the stressful times we live in, the problems we are more often seeing in our clients, and how to get more out of energy wellness sessions. We also discuss holistic practitioners and how we need to pay more attention to our own wellbeing. Good health to you! Connect with Laurie at: www.facebook.com/sweetlifeastrology and www.sweetlifeastrology.com.

Episode #16: Shamanism Today

Episode #16: Shamanism Today. This week we have an important and in-depth discussion on Shamanism, a gentle and powerful holistic art for wellness, and the various ways it is practiced in the United States today. We are honored to have as our guest, Dina Amada, a shamanic practitioner and owner of Alexandria II Metaphysical Bookstore, located in Pasadena, CA. We will talk about ancient native tradition vs. modern practices. Our discussion will focus on native spirituality and mysticism, how the four elements can support and heal us, soul retrieval, and more. We will also talk about the fact that while native shamanic teachers do offer classes for spiritual seekers, it’s important to be cautious of “cultural appropriation” and teachers who would usurp native traditions. As a trained shamanic practitioner, Dina holds sessions at Alexandria II. You can find her at: https://www.alexandria2.com. InannaMoon is proud to work there as an intuitive medium as well.

Episode #15: Spirituality and Politics

Episode #15: Spirituality and Politics. Spirituality and Politics - Two words most people do not associate. Creativity, Talent, Spirituality, Politics, Love, Acting and Activism. Yes, you can have it all. Our guest this week, Sue Hamilton, founder of Artists Rise Up Los Angeles, is living proof of this. InannaMoon and Sheila Marie have a great inspirational interview with this dynamic woman.

Episode #14: The Tarot: A Wisdom Journey

Episode #14: The Tarot: A Wisdom Journey. So much has been said about the Tarot. It is a much beloved, hated, and misunderstood spiritual tool. This week, we take a look at this bold collection of 78 cards that expresses the wisdom of the ages within its symbolism. It is no fortuneteller’s fool! We discuss the uses of the Tarot, its history, philosophy, and the spirit and fun of reading. The Tarot is great for intuitive development, a way of connecting with higher guidance, and getting more in touch with our own freedom of choice. InannaMoon will be holding a 6-week online beginners Tarot course starting Tuesdays, April 17 through May 22, 2018. When you join the course you will have the recorded classes available to you even if you miss a live session. Here are the details and how to register on: http://www.inannamoon.com

Episode #12: Karma Café

Episode #12: Karma Café. Karma. The word itself simply means action. The Law of Karma is the Law of Cause and Effect. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It is also the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Some philosophers say it is the most important law of the universe. There is nothing wrong with Karma. It is the business of reaping whatever we sow. Oh, how loaded it is sometimes to live out our actions! Some feel it's punishment to have our actions return to us like ripples across water. We have choices. We can learn from our karma. Sometimes we spiral downhill with it, but rise when we make conscious actions to succeed over time! InannaMoon and Sheila Marie have a lively discussion this week about the bad things that happen to good people, the choices we make, and this ever-spiraling cycle in the Karma Café!

Episode #11: Meaningful Movies

Episode #11: Meaningful Movies. Since it’s Academy Award week, we are talking about movies that have meaning with a friend of ours. Join Sheila Marie, InannaMoon, and Paul Preston (The Movie Guys) this week. Come and reminisce with us about favorite films. We talk about hilarious films, silent films, the films that make us thoughtful, and make us want to be superheroes. We marvel at Paul’s memory of outstanding past years in film! SPOILER Alert: If you haven’t seen it, Inanna tries not to weep with joy as she reads the final speech of the benevolent father from the novel with the same title as the film, Call Me By Your Name. To learn more about the talented Paul Preston and listen to his entertaining and adventuresome film review podcast, go to the “The Movie Guys” website: http://www.themovieguys.net

Episode #10: Angels, Animal Guides, and Others

Episode #10: Angels, Animal Guides, and Others. Often, when we think of spirit guides we think of beings in robes, floating on clouds of light, sending us words of wisdom to deal with the hectic lives we lead on earth. Actually, there are many people who know or suspect that they are in communication with unique kinds of guides. These are the Angels, animal guides, galactic guides from different realms, and others. This is a fascinating discussion for those of you who are seeking information and confirmation about the less familiar beings who connect with us from the world of Spirit. The Angels existed long before Christianity. The animal guides were here before we knew what shamanism was. The galactic beings understand more than we do about where we are in our human evolution. Who else is out there? Every being is part of the spiraling cosmos, connected in a vibrational dance beyond time and space. Not to wax poetic or anything! Join Sheila Marie and InannaMoon this week as we consider experiences, lore, and possibilities.
