Thich Nhat Hanh, an amazing spiritual teacher and modern day mystic, wrote in The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation
“Your purpose is to be yourself. You don't have to run anywhere to become someone else. You are wonderful just as you are.”
In episode 47 we are continuing our conversation about one of the core questions that a healing and awakening journey will ultimately connect you with - what is my purpose in this life and why does my own personal healing journey matter.
In Part 2 of our journey Beyond healing we explore how our personal journey of healing is absolutely essential for collective awakening, growth, and evolution into a kinder, more compassionate, and truly empowering world that honors all life (human and non-human).
In this episode, I also share the astrology and archetypal patterns and significance of the energies of Chiron and Chariklo (his wife) and how their discovery in 1977 and 1997 symbolically ushered in the collective call and transformation change of healing.
“…the capacity to attend to the suffering of others and ourselves, allowing life fruitfully to continue, regardless of our afflictions.” (Melanie Reinhart, Chiron and the Healing Journey)

“Your purpose is to be yourself. You don't have to run anywhere to become someone else. You are wonderful just as you are.”
In episode 46 we are diving into one of the core questions that a healing and awakening journey will ultimately connect you with - what is my purpose in this life.
When we first start a healing or awakening journey our main purpose is to feel better, liberate ourselves from all the ways that we feel stuck, and if we are being honest to improve our physical life - more abundance and “happiness”.
AND these are all amazing pursuits and a necessary first stage of healing and awakening to develop a real, tangible, knowing that we have more power then we think we do and that we can change our thoughts and change our reality.
AND there is another stage of healing and awakening that starts to bubble up as we are on this path, a yearning to BE our real self, one that is not often reflected in our outer life, but an inner life. That is what I believe Thich Nhat Hanh is pointing to, our purpose is to be ourselves within and let that shift ripple out into every moment, every choice, every interaction guiding us courageous actions that match our mystical heart, not just our personal heart.
Plus, I share a simple practice you can begin to make your own that explores “Being”

Welcome to Soulful Practices Podcast!
In episode 45 of Soulful Practices Podcast, we dive deeper into a question that so many of us have right now:
How can we embrace joy, real happiness, laughter, healing, and the pursuit of our dreams while also making choices that help support the whole too?
Thomas Merton, a modern mystic, gave us a possible answer on where to look to help us navigate these types of questions in his book Love and Living.
Merton said, “Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.”
Join me in an exploration of what does LOVE look like in motion, what does it mean to move from love, and how can this pursuit truly serve us especially when we are facing circumstances both personally and collectively that feel like too much, too big, or too overwhelming.
Plus, I share a grounding and presensing practice that I have used for years and teach to clients that helps me find center and a trustworthy life line of love in the face of circumstances that Parts of me would rather avoid, dismiss, or fight against in unhelpful ways.

Welcome to Soulful Practices Podcast!
Eleanor Roosevelt is attributed with saying, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
In this episode of Soulful Practice Podcast we explore one of the main areas we trek through on a healing and awakening journey, the concept and cultivation of true self-respect.
Cultivating respect can be a really tricky trek and is one that is vast. To help start us out in this episode we will be focusing on learning how to honor and witness the different parts of ourselves within tipping over into shadow indulgence, pity, and feeling that if someone respects me or another that means having to agree with and/or give them everything they want, matching their personal wants, wishes, and desires if they truly respect them. No, that is a really naive and frankly narcissist point of view on what self-respect is.
In this episode, I share a practice that can help you begin to explore what it looks and feels like to hold healthy self-respect - having regards for our own thoughts, ideas, emotions, and experiences AND also opening to what our Hearts and Soul’s are guiding us to.
When we can find this sweet spot, we change up what we consent to feel inferior to and unlock our ability to courageously connect with our true self rooted in authentic self-respect.
Let’s dive in!

Mystical Law - For every death there is a rebirth.
During this episode we will explore the fourth stage of creation that the Mental Being often tries to restrict—our willingness to welcome new form and creation after a loss.
The mystical law of death and rebirth encompasses what I call the sixth stage of grief: our willingness to step into new creations. Einstein said, “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” One of the hardest concepts for our Mental Being and its host of protectors to embrace is the idea that there can be life or creation after death. This isn’t just for our own physical death and transition from this lifetime to the next but in all endings and beginnings that happen in our lifetime.

Mantra for Creation:
“May I release _____fears, thoughts, concerns, old ways of being…
May I welcome the freedom to co-create with my Soul.”
Michelle Holling-Brooks
The first part of this prayer is a core element of creation.
And yet, that part of this mantra is one of the absolute hardest and scariest prayers we can say.
The energy of releasing requires us to walk with loss, grief, letting go of our attachments or allegiances, and softening the grip of our fears.
In Part three of four in our mini-series to liberate your creative nature so that you can co-create with your Soul, we are going to dive into some hidden and no so hidden ways that we all fight, resist, and try to convince ourselves that we are okay with releasing so that we can truly engage this agent of change and creation in our lives right now.

In Part two of four, we will be exploring the second stage of courageously co-creating with yourself, your life, and with others in alignment with who you truly are, our willingness to fully engage by moving from thought into form.
Step one of creation is thought, step two is creating form. And the hidden step within step two is a willingness to fully and completely engage with our creations.
In this episode we will explore:
Author Justina Chen says, “When the creative impulse sweeps over you, grab [engage] it. You grab [engage] it and honor it and use it, because momentum is a rare gift.”
I also share a short practice based on Card 32 Engage from The Sacred Witness Oracle Deck, to help you grab hold of your inspiration to move, jump, and honor the gifts and connections that you have created in your life fully!

Welcome to Soulful Practices Podcast!
I’m excited to share over the next Four episodes how to unbridle the natural side-effects that happen when we are willing to be in courageous connection with our Heart/Body/Mind/and Soul Beings through our inner guidance/wisdom - our ability to be in conscious co-creation with ourselves, our life, and with others in alignment with who we truly are.
Each episode in this four-part mini series will be exploring how to liberate the different core stages of creation - the spark of inspiration, the movement of incarnation and engagement, our ability to release or attachments to both what was and what is, and open once more to the natural rebirth & creation anew that comes once we release, that something else is calling to come forward.
This episode explores Part One - The Spark of Inspiration.
Mary Lou Cook, an American author and chef, said:
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks,breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”
And in my upcoming book, The Sacred Witness Oracle Guidebook, I share:
“We are Beings of creation. We are designed to shift, change, and evolve; and we are in a state of constant exploration and expansion. Paradoxically, our survival instincts crave consistency and predictability and compel us to only make changes that stay within our known experiences of the past, thus creating a closed system. As a result, we end up abandoning our Soul’s inspirations that would bring us into uncharted waters and try to find joy in the safety of the known. Inevitably, this creates massive imbalances in our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.”
We want to be inspired and we also have Parts of us that try so hard to restrain and snuff out the sparks of inspiration out of protective fears that how those changes will cause us to break out of the old karmic weight of the known and into uncharted waters.
During this episode we will:

In this episode, Michelle Holling-Brooks explores one of the most hidden yet powerful blocks to authentic connection and creativity: the fear of humiliation, embarrassment, and judgment.
Inspired by author Amie McNee’s words, “If you won’t risk looking a little bit silly, the consequence is stagnancy,” Michelle shares how these fears show up as self-sabotage and how they can actually signal that you are on the verge of stepping into your true power.
In this episode, Michelle shares:
Where the fear of humiliation originates and how it shows up in your life
How the Cosmic Coyote, the Guardian of Power, points to unexpected ways the universe helps us break free from protective fears
A simple and powerful practice to embrace worried Parts while courageously creating from your heart
This week’s Soulful Practice invites you to:
Notice when the fear of humiliation arises
See these fears as signals of empowerment instead of setbacks
Call on courage and compassion to create with authenticity
🎧 Listen now and free your inner creator to shine in all their silly, messy, and wonderful ways.

In this episode of the Soulful Practices Podcast, Michelle Holling-Brooks explores one of the most hidden yet powerful blocks to authentic connection, a protective pattern she calls “messy” self-auditing or editing.
Drawing on the work of author and international speaker Africa Brooke, who defines self-censorship as “…when you silence your own voice and hold back thoughts, feelings, or knowledge out of fear, doubt, or the desire to fit in,” Michelle unpacks how this habit can quietly drain our creative energy and keep us from showing up fully in our lives.
In this episode, Michelle shares:
How messy self-auditing is born out of trauma and survival responses
This week’s Soulful Practice invites you to:
Notice when you’re caught in messy self-auditing and call on Reiki energy to guide your awareness
Welcome the Parts of yourself you’re trying to control into a sacred dialogue with the Sacred Witness within
Invite the Medicine of Forgiveness to free you from past and present disconnection from your heart and soul
Allow yourself to share unedited thoughts and emotions to release old wounds and open to new choice points, supported by the Medicine of Courage
🎧 Listen now and begin reconnecting with your real, unedited truths.

In this episode of the Soulful Practices Podcast, Michelle Holling-Brooks explores what it means to liberate our innate capacity for true connection. Drawing from Card 51: Connecting – in her upcoming Sacred Witness Oracle deck, Michelle reflects on how our early environments shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and life itself.
Many of us had to adapt our natural ways of connecting in order to survive, and this episode invites us to gently reclaim what was once set aside.
In this episode, Michelle shares:
Her personal walk with discernment in the midst of shifting plans and uncertainty
A Soulful Practice inspired by David Whyte’s poem “Start Close In”
A Guided Practice to help you apply this wisdom to areas in your life where clarity is needed
This week’s practice invites you to bring a spirit of curiosity and openness as you engage with the Medicine of Discernment. With the support of Reiki energy, you’re invited to notice where you may be:
Caught in old thinking patterns
Making assumptions without full awareness
Seeking answers that only confirm your hopes or fears
With gentle awareness, ask for support in softening those biases, so you can perceive what is with greater truth, clarity, and compassion.
🎧 Listen now and return to the quiet knowing within.

Frankl’s powerful insight, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom,” this episode provides actionable steps to create healing and freedom.
In this episode, Michelle explores:
The main block to receiving clear guidance and acting in alignment with it.
How trauma responses and protective habits distort our connection to inner truth.
The practice of creating sacred pauses to transform automatic reactions.
Michelle also shares a weekly intention to engage in Sacred Pauses, guided by Reiki energy, to reflect on misaligned responses and shift into alignment with your true Self.
Join the conversation, share your reflections, and connect with us on social media to dive deeper into these soulful practices. Let’s journey together toward greater freedom, growth, and alignment with our Soul’s voice. 🎧
