Cruising in the Light and Shadow

Episode #9: Channeling Guidance

Episode #9: Channeling Guidance. Channeling is an age-old method that helps us connect to our higher selves and then to our spirit guides. All spirit, including we humans, are a connected family beyond this physical world. We are only separated by our awareness and willingness to reach out. Also, just like we have physical guides and teachers on earth, we have personal spirit guides who help us on subtle planes of reality. We are always receiving their messages in a variety of ways. Many of us seek help from intuitive practitioners who channel spirit’s messages on our behalf when we want help or confirmation of our thoughts and feelings. Join us as we discuss raising the vibration, channeling the guides, and how it can help our highest good. Note: Francine Ang and InannaMoon are offering a series of channeling evenings beginning in February 2018. Find details on upcoming events and classes at: inannamoon.com and Francine Ang at: Francineang.com.

Episode #6: A Look at Mediumship

Episode #6: A Look at Mediumship. Mediumship is the communication between human beings and our loved ones in spirits. Spiritualism is a religion that seeks to prove that there is life after death. Join Sheila Marie as she talks with InannaMoon, a spiritual medium, about what mediumship is and is not. Many of us want to connect to friends and family in spirit. They want to come close to spend time with us. We discuss the history of mediumship, a philosophy of what happens when we die, and how it is that the soul can communicate from beyond this life.

Episode #5: The Spirit of Divination

Episode #5: The Spirit of Divination. Divination involves using any tradition, system, or practice to try to gain unknown knowledge and wisdom about our every day lives, the future, and the world around us. Humans have always sought guidance from a variety of sources. People have used pendulums, Tea Leaves, the Moon Phases, Oracle Cards, the Tarot, Runes, and so much more. Is divination misunderstood? Here is where we look at some of the mystery, myths, and practical information behind these beliefs. 

Episode #4: Meditation Station

Episode #4: Meditation Station. Join us for a show about meditation. Inanna is a longtime meditation teacher. Sheila Marie is a long time practitioner who will ask Inanna the questions she has always wanted to ask a teacher about the practice! We discuss how to meditate, types of meditation, and what a long-term practice can do for you. We do some problem solving for those who have blocks or problems keeping up with a practice. Meditation is about cultivating peace, balance, the inner understanding of who we each are as individuals, and so much more. Even Hilary Clinton meditates!

Explore with us an overview of the fascinating wisdom traditions that are out there for any of us to discover. We take a look at how these spiritual practices have helped so many enjoy better lives.

Episode #2: Dreams and what do they mean?

Episode #2: Dreams and what do they mean?  Dreams are easily misunderstood. Even so, they are here to help us in our wakeful lives. Many dreams are a way for us to process our days, sort out challenging issues and deal with feelings we don’t easily face. Behind the weird symbols, talking animals, flying, and falling, we find emotions make the dreams and not the other way around. Join us as we interpret and disentangle the dreamtime world.
