Sex, spirituality, and “psychic protection” usually get filed into separate boxes. Here at Moon Rising, we don’t. Christine Renee sits down with student and shamanic Reiki practitioner Stacy Saucedo to trace a real learning path: how a simple question (“Why Chakras?”) turns into a deeper relationship with energy, the body, and the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Letting go of “fixing” energy and practicing self-acceptance
🌖 How She Who Rises grew from intro to tantra into deeper conversation and integration
🌗 Talking about sex as sacred while respecting edges, boundaries, and trauma history
🌘 Psychic protection as strengthened field, grounded releases, and better energetic boundaries
🌑 Chakra education plus polyvagal theory to expand the zone of tolerance🌒 Microcosmic orbit, breath, sound, and movement as daily energy hygiene

We talk candidly about women’s sexuality and tantra as a practice of self-acceptance, not self-fixing. That means making room for the full range of human experience in sacred space: curiosity, joy, embarrassment, grief, anger, and the places where a topic hits an edge. We also unpack why shame and cultural silence can keep the nervous system locked in contraction, and how honest conversation plus somatic tools can start to soften that grip.

From there, we connect the dots between pleasure, boundaries, and energetic safety. Christine shares how breath, sound, and movement strengthen the field, how chakra education becomes practical when it’s embodied, and why polyvagal basics (hyperarousal, hypoarousal, and the zone of tolerance) matter for empaths, healers, and anyone who tends to “carry” others. You’ll also hear concrete energy hygiene ideas, including grounding releases, working with support in the unseen, and the microcosmic orbit as a way to circulate energy through the body.

If you’re looking for women’s tantra training, chakra healing, somatic movement practices, cord attachment awareness, or a grounded approach to psychic protection, this conversation gives you a clear map and a next step.

Coming out later in life can feel like the moment everything finally makes sense, until you realize freedom also brings you face-to-face with the pain you’ve been carrying for decades. I’m joined by Peter Kahn, a Reiki practitioner, reclaiming witch, and Soul Rising graduate, for a candid conversation about growing up bullied, hiding a trans identity for survival, and what it’s like to finally say “I’m not just an ally, I’m a member” out loud.

We dig into Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work and why “there are no bad parts” is more than a nice idea. Peter shares how shifting from fixing himself to holding space for himself softened defensiveness, changed his relationship with work, and made self-worth feel less like homework and more like coming home. We also talk nervous system regulation in everyday life, including how to notice your warning lights before you explode, and why curiosity beats post-mortem analysis every time.

The conversation widens into culture and community: microaggressions, othering, and the responsibility of people who still “code” as the dominant group to show up as real allies. We explore the practice of calling people in instead of calling people out, without giving anyone a pass for harm. Then we bring it back to spiritual healing, with Reiki, shamanism, journeying, guides, power animals, earthing, animism, and the relief of feeling connected to something larger than the isolated self.

If you’re navigating gender identity, rebuilding self-esteem, healing trauma, or searching for grounded spiritual tools that work in real life, this one is for you. Subscribe, share with someone who needs to hear “you’re not broken,” and leave a review so more listeners can find Wisdom Rising.

You can feel it when a spiritual gathering is more than a marketplace. Over Spring Equinox, we Tree Of Life SpiritFest in Bozeman, Montana, and we’re bringing you the heart of what made the day special: real community, real conversation, and practical tools that land in the body, not just the mind. After a quick recap of the event, we shift into a live panel with a beautifully diverse group of practitioners spanning Thai Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda, EFT tapping and Biotap, Chakradance, Kundalini Tantra, shadow work, Reiki, vocal alchemy, and intuitive development.

The audience questions take us straight into the places most people are actually living: What’s the difference between grace and love when you’re trying to hold compassion and boundaries at the same time? How do you pick a modality when you’re dealing with long-term trauma, ADHD, hormone shifts, and a deep desire to find your voice? We talk about why the “one true path” idea can add pressure, how discernment works in real life, and why following the next right step often beats trying to get it perfect.

We also explore grounding through stress as nervous system care and spiritual practice together, using breath, ritual, and radical acceptance to move from survival mode back into center. If you’re searching for energy healing, chakra balancing, somatic practices, tantra meditation, or a grounded approach to spiritual development, this conversation offers both perspective and tangible takeaways. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s craving community, and leave a review with your biggest question from the panel.

If you're in Bozeman, MT, please join us for Tree of Life SpiritFest, Summer Solstice Edition, on Saturday, June 20th!
