Falling Into Soul

Announcing my new book Down from the Mountain: On Being Human after Spiritual and Alchemical Initiation now available for preorder.
In this episode, I go over the table of contents for the new book so you can get a feel for what it's all about.
Whether you’ve read The Second Half of the Mountain and are ready for more or you’re just stumbling upon me now, Down from the Mountain holds its own as a book exploring the delicate coming-back-to-life work many of us face after undergoing the alchemical initiation required to uncover, align with, and live from the core self.
Thrilled to be back in this space with you!

Ep. 37 How to Recognize the Will of the Soul

What we think we want and what we say we want might not be the same as what the soul wants. The will of the soul is not always immediately known. It's the unconscious continually made conscious through astute listening to body aches, dreams and synchronicities, strange intuitive pulls, deep watery feelings, and life itself. We live in so much mystery, so much magic, so much unknown.
In this episode we explore ways the unconscious (will of the soul) attempts to make itself conscious in our lives:

  • Loss of motivation or focus for things you once loved to do or feel like you should want to do.
  • Being thwarted, pulled back or seemingly sabotaged when you try to execute your plans or move in a certain direction
  • Deep watery feelings and emotions, often arising at inopportune times
  • Body signals. Aches. Pains that come out of nowhere. Illness.
  • Strange intuitive pulls that often seem backward or counterintuitive.

And the big question: What's the difference between following the pull of the soul and self-sabotage? Because yeah, they can look a lot alike sometimes.
With love for the the soul that is such a brilliant and gorgeous interrupter of plans,
McCall

Ep. 39 What the Fire Leaves Behind

Alchemy is a terrible but brilliant series of processes that burn, drown, rot pressurize, and distill every extraneous thing out of the way so you can see what is there. What the fire leaves behind is who you really are. What the fire leaves behind is all the things about you that cannot be left behind. What remains when all else fades is how we know what's ours to live in a new way.
In this episode:

  • the threshold between being initiated to the true self and the pressing need to integrate the true self in all facets of life
  • the spirit addiction or impulse to keep cleaning the slate, reinventing yourself or undergoing one more process of alchemy that could maybe possibly change who you are and what your life is about this time
  • how alchemy is not a process of transformation so much as a revelation
  • prompts and inquiries for intuiting where you are on your alchemical journey

With love,
M
