The 7th Episode, The Crown Energy Center, has arrived. Kate shares the connection of root to crown and the power of concerted discernment. In an era of technology, there is great power to find stillness and establishing a practice of connection to our inner flame. The journey through our energy centers reminds us of our ability to change at a cellular level and chose to establish a life of balance and purpose.
Episode Remedies:
Mantra: I am connected and I am ensouled
Stillness & Quiet is a preferred remedy to establish connection

We can want to make the greatest leaps, yet the way we cross the river is hopping from rock to rock. We can get caught up in the flame of inspiration, and we best have kindling so the spark catches to a steady flame. Welcome to the space in the internet where we know that action clears doubt, and wisdom illuminates.
This episode talks about: kindling, multi-tasking, planning, achievement and living a life stacked for success, the kind that warms your heart.

Kate talks about the 3rd eye wisdom, the power of vision on the path of understanding, establishing a spiritual inner world with a life of balance and purpose. New horizons ahead.

The 5th Episode, The Throat Energy Center, episode is here. After a seasonal break (discussed in the Power of the Pause, upcoming episode) Kate talks about the throat center, and the power of our words as influenced between what we see an how we feel. Often we hear: If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Do we include self-talk in that? Kate talks about the throat and the power of voice on the path of understanding, or attempting to speak our own true desires and establish a life of balance and purpose.

In the 4th episode of the series on our energy centers, Kate talks about the heart as it spaces and translates between the will and the word. Often we hear: listen to your heart, but have we been taught how to hear the voice, clear confusion and balance the valid opinions that live inside? Kate talks about the heart center and its very deliberate placement in the path of understanding, or attempting to hear our own true desires.
IMPORTANT:
In this episode, I mentioned that the bija sound for the heart center is Hmmm/Ham. Itās wrong. Itās Yam. I know this, and there is more. When I started sharing about the heart center I began swirling between the throat and the heart, blending even in my lesson planning the two centers and the herbal recommendation (mullein) is one that addresses the mucus of the throat, yet has a connection to the heart through grief (the release of) and I mention in the podcast how I came to learn of this connection.Ā
I was thinking of theĀ heart center and how it sits between the belly of our will and the center of our words,Ā balancing for us how we move and what we say, and how delightful life is when we āwalk our talk.ā

This podcast is an offering for the Plutonian changes (whether you know that is or not!) and contemplating what needs to be let go, for our upcoming growth.
In this episode Kate, who is a curious educator and not an astrologer, talks about the upcoming 20 year cycle of growth and change, by looking back on a very packed past 15 years.
In this episode, our host covers:
- The inevitability of peaks and valleys
- How we may harness planetary and natural cycles to inform us about our own lives & growth
- Why giving up somethings is necessary to gain others (it's how nature works)
- Why boundaries are necessary, with immense gratitude to Colette Baron Reid https://www.instagram.com/colettebaron_reid/?hl=en and her insights on why we define parameters when we are looking to make change, as well as future Tend the Flame guest, Shawn Berry, https://www.instagram.com/thethreadthatpulls/?hl=en and his reminder of how boundaries grow the will, especially for children.
_ Why knowing yourself and tuning to your intuition is a necessary superpower to reawaken and cultivate.
