Episode 102: Perdita Finn and Clark Strand - The Way Of The Rose The Radical Path Of The Divine Feminine Hidden In The Rosary

What does it mean to surrender certainty and live within mystery again, to recover the dark wisdom of the dirt and the dead, and to find our way together in an age of chaos and collapse?

Since ancient times, roses have symbolized the divine and our creators active presence in our lives.

It's also a representation of the gradual process of revelation, healing, and the many layers of wisdom that unfold throughout our lifetime.

Roses have also long served as the symbol of "The Lady" and Mother Mary.

Mary is closely associated with the rosary, but what most people don't realize is that she is also closely associated with The Goddess Isis.

You may be surprised to realize that the rosary has many incredibly mysteries that lead us down the radical path to the divine feminine.

Before a vision of the mysterious "Lady" invited Clark and Perdita to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet.”

Why have human beings made beads for over a hundred thousand years?
What is a viable spiritual response to the catastrophes of climate change?
Why is prayer, and prayer for our own heart's desire, the most radical act of courage in the face of extractive capitalism?
How is the rosary, a little old lady's Catholic prayer, the best guide through the labyrinth of modernity?
Why is reaching for the hand of the Mother so consoling?
How is the divine feminine the emergent energy of our time and what is her invitation?

THE WAY OF THE ROSE: The Radical Path to The Divine Feminine Hidden In The Rosary, is truly an incredible story. I consider it essential reading on the path to more deeply connecting with the divine feminine and highly recommend it.

Clark Strand and Perdita Finn are the co-authors of The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary, and the founders of an international fellowship by the same name devoted to the earth and the Lady by any name you want to call her. They are committed to re-wilding prayer and our experience of spiritual community. Clark has written numerous books including Seeds from a Birch Tree: Haiku as a Spiritual Practice and Waking Up to the Dark: Ancient Wisdom for a Sleepless Age and connects people to the living world with his workshops on haiku and Finn is the author of the forthcoming Take Back the Magic: Getting to Know the Dead and leads friends into the underworld with her intensives on the dead.

Special Guest: Perdita Finn.

Episode 78: Dr. Dain Heer - Body Whispering

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0400

Join me for a conversation about Body Whispering with Dain Heer and our innate capability to heal from what ails us by learning to listen to the body's wisdom and discern our pain and disease from another.

In this episode we cover:

Many of us have the innate gift of being empathic, which makes us natural facilitators of healing.
It’s important to be able to facilitate healing without taking on another’s pain as our own.
The greatest gift we can give another is to empower them with choice and to bring their own power to heal into their awareness.
“What are you dying to get out of?” and “Whose pain is this?” are questions to consider when we are dealing with chronic pain or terminal illness.
Learning to ask your body what it needs and listen to its answers.
Reacquainting ourselves with chaos as a form of awakening consciousness and activating opportunities for healing.
Fixed points of view are also “stuck” points of energy in the body that may create dis-ease.

In the episode, I refer to the following story to illustrate how we tend to judge an experience. In this story, the experience shifts as the old farmer continues to suspend judgment to view the conditions from other perspectives:

“There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically. "Maybe," the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed. "Maybe," replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy for his misfortune. "Maybe," answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. "Maybe," said the farmer.”

Beginning his journey as a chiropractor, Dr. Dain Heer has been facilitating, exploring, and celebrating the magic of bodies for the last 30 years.

Along his journey, he developed his signature energy work called the Energetic Synthesis of Being: a totally different way that invites a new level of awareness and energetic transformation with bodies which includes kindness, caring, and communion.

Growing up, Dain had a lot of abuse in his life, but he never chose to be a victim. He learned very early on the power of real courage, choice, and resilience. He learned to transform life's challenges into a gift of strength, awareness and continue being in the question. Dain says judgment is the biggest killer on the planet, especially the judgment of ourselves.

Based on his own life experience, he asks, "What if we could get out of the wrongness of ourselves and see every wrongness, the places where we judge ourselves the most, as a strongness? What would be possible then?"

Reaching far beyond what people say with words, Dain looks at the energy of what is being presented and invites people to live without apology, no longer needing to hide their differences and unique capacities from the world. Body Whispering- A New Way of Seeing, Being & Healing is Dain's latest book. Learn more at www.bodywhispering.com.

Episode 69: Alexis Artin - Transforming Women

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 07 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -0400

I love that magical moment when I'm diving into depths of conversation on a topic I'm passionate about only to discoer kindship with a likeminded sister. Meeting Alexis was like hanging out with someone I've known forever.

As seen in FOX, Thrive Global, Entertainment Tonight, and more, Alexis Artin is a leading Success Coach, international speaker, a writer trained in neuro-linguistic programming, and a master embodiment teacher—fully immersed in the DeMartini Method.

Having spent the past two decades propelling people towards their personal and professional best, Alexis is a woman transforming women. After working with many A-list celebrities across the board, in television and film, Alexis transitioned her passion and skillset for fostering potential and obtaining results in the world of self-development and transformation. She worked side-by-side with many of the most revered thought leaders bringing personal growth to the global stage. Alexis was the driving force behind expanding one of the largest and most respected female empowerment companies, which inspired her to channel her expertise into creating a coaching practice serving clients worldwide.

Alexis teaches others to embrace their knowing, connecting mind, body, heart, and soul. Her powerful coaching gives her clients true and lasting transformation from the inside out. An ICF-certified professional coach and Energy Leadership Master Practitioner, Alexis is also co-founder of FreeBody™ Practice and a hypnotherapist.

In studying with Dr. John Demartini, one concept he teaches is the paradoxical nature of the soul and the body as complementary opposites. That the soul chose the body to have an embodied experience, but the body is like an animal operating at a base level.
The goal is to integrate our “opposites,” our soul and body, by being present and in alignment with both, and tapping into and re-membering is a constant practice.
Our bodies are designed to tell us when we are not in alignment - and once cued, we can reconnect.
The breath is a tool, but the mind and the heart are the bridge between the body and the soul. They will align us, or they will throw us out of alignment.
When we are very young most of our programming is set because when we don't have resources, we are powerless, and we are then thrust into a world where we have to live by the values of the people caring for us.
Empowerment is about choice, period. Empowerment is about our ability to choose at any given moment.
Awareness is our superpower.
Habitual change happens in 21 days. It’s about where we've been asleep in our lives and where we want to awaken. It is being in the practice of the inquiry and at peace in our lives through the body.
