  • Elemental Wisdom of Fire and Water
    Jan 26 2026

    Send Us a Message!

    Ready to trade burnout for balance and turn everyday rituals into real energy work? We dive into the living language of the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—and focus on Fire and Water as part one of a two part series. Christine and Shantel share personal stories, practical tips, and grounded tools you can use immediately, from manifestation water glasses to fire rituals.

    In today’s episode we’ll explore:

    • Elemental personalities and how to spot them
    • Water as cleanser, conduit and intention carrier
    • Safe disposal and home energy hygiene with water
    • Fire for release, illumination and solar plexus power
    • Expanding beyond the warrior archetype
    • Presence, gratitude and dissolving FOMO
    • Mystic Moon Collective: tarot, Reiki share, journeys, sacred conversations

    We also introduce the Mystic Moon Collective, a weekly membership designed around the elements: tarot for fiery clarity, Reiki shares for watery flow, shamanic journeys for earthy roots, and sacred conversations for airy insight. Each session is interactive, welcoming all levels, and supported by a private community chat so you can practice, reflect, and get feedback between gatherings. If you’re craving structure that still leaves room for magic, this mix of ritual, skill-building, and community will feel like home.

    If this resonates, follow and subscribe, share this episode with a friend who loves practical mysticism, and leave a review to help others find the show.

    The Mystic Moon Collective starts February 5th, every Thursday at 4pm PT/ 5pm MT/ 6pm CT/ 7pm ET! Learn more and join here: https://moonrisinginstitute.circle.so/c/mystic-moon-collective/

  • A Past Life Bleedthrough with Guest Stephanie Peters
    Jan 19 2026

    Send Us a Message!

    A single phone call felt like lightning in the body, and everything changed. That’s how Stephanie’s story begins—a sudden, magnetic pull that cracked open visions, relentless poems, and a grief that didn’t belong to this lifetime. We invited her to share the journey from “I’m losing my mind” to published poet, from spiraling nights to grounded sovereignty, and how a past-life regression gave shape to a mystery that words like chemistry could never hold.

    In this episode, we’ll explore:

    🌕 Clear cognizance, visions, and cognitive dissonance

    🌖 The spiral into suicidality and seeking help

    🌗 Therapy limits and turning to psychic support

    🌘 Finding a “soul doctor” (that's Christine!!) and building sovereignty

    🌑 Journeys, darkness at the edge, and sovereignty

    🌒 Making boundaries with a past self

    🌓 Assembling poems into a healing chronology

    🌔 Hope, persistence, and choosing this life

    We walk through the hard parts with care: cognitive dissonance that made reality blur, days of shaking that looked like seizures, and the fear of speaking up in case help meant being dismissed or medicated. Stephanie explains how therapy helped until it didn’t, and how a layered path—psychic guidance, Shamanic Reiki, sovereignty statements, nature, and Soul Rising—steadied her nervous system and returned her to the present. Along the way, the house hummed with strange phenomena, the treadmill surged on its own, and a closet became a chorus of footsteps. These moments aren’t just plot points; they’re lessons in energy hygiene and boundaries.

    Stephanie’s book, A Past Life Bleed Through, collects poems received in the storm and arranges them into a map—from rupture to integration. You’ll hear why community matters, how shared patterns across journeys validate experience, and why trees became unexpected teachers in transmuting fear into steadiness.

    If you’re curious about past lives, energy healing, spiritual emergence, or how creativity can become a lifeline, this story offers both language and tools. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more seekers find their footing. Then tell us: what practice keeps you anchored when the unseen gets loud?

  • The Art Of Holding Space: How To Lead Circles With Skill, Presence, and Heart
    Jan 12 2026

    Send Us a Message!

    The difference between a good circle and a life-shifting one often comes down to the invisible: presence, pacing, and the confidence to hold what arises without trying to fix it. We open up the craft of facilitation and show how to turn your certifications—Reiki, breathwork, hypnosis, somatics—into powerful group experiences that people remember and return to.

    In this episode, we’ll explore:

    • Aligning presence with breath, tone and pacing
    • Reading the room and guiding energy toward intention
    • De-escalating conflict and time-bounding emotional surges
    • Somatic and meditative drops that open the heart
    • Creating monthly circles that build community and retention
    • Ethical pricing and the mindset of a spiritual entrepreneur
    • Mixed modalities as a unique facilitator signature

    We walk through the real skills you need to lead with heart and steadiness: reading the room, asking empowering questions, redirecting tangents, and de-escalating conflict without shaming anyone. You’ll hear how we use breath patterns, eye-softening, and body awareness to drop participants into a regulated, receptive state. Then we layer in sensory ritual—scent, candlelight, music, drumming—to signal safety and depth, and we map an arc that starts grounded, rises with purpose, and closes clean so people leave integrated and clear.

    If you’re wondering how to make this sustainable, we go there too. Ethical pricing, consistency through monthly circles, and designing offers that fit your voice and community are central themes. Mixed modalities aren’t a problem to hide; they’re your signature. We outline our six-week intensive with Sunday skill sessions and Wednesday practicums, plus case studies and business support so you finish with a launch-ready class, series, or retreat and the inner certainty to deliver it.

    Ready to step into leadership with grace and structure? Listen, take notes, and then take the leap and join The Art of Holding Space January 18th! If this resonates, share it with a friend who’s been “almost ready,” subscribe for more practical mysticism, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Your community is waiting for you to show up.
