Welcome to Woo-Woo-Ville: The Next Stop on Your Spiritual Journey

In this episode, Lola, Amaral and Pamela discuss how tricky the ego is, ego death, and why the ego does have a valuable role to play.

Training your ego is one of the biggest challenges you will face on the spiritual path because it is constantly on guard, looking for potential danger and creating fears (some warranted and some imagined) in an effort to keep things safe and predictable as it possibly can.

It is completely resistant to change and constantly scanning your thoughts, feelings, and environment for potential risks to its security, much like a chihuahua that barks at everything and everyone. Little dogs need to create a show of bravado to survive and your ego does, too.

The spiritual path is a path of transformtion and change is required to shift, heal, purify, and grow. Alchemy and transmutation make the chihuahua bark even harder and the ego will try every traick in the book to instill fear in you to keep you stuck because it equates change with danger and being stuck with safety.

Let's take a deep dive into understanding the role of the ego and how we can best work with and train our "barking chihuahuas" so that we are the alpha dogs, not it.

In this episode, we look at one of the most important skills a person can develop when diving into the world of Woo-Woo: discernment. Mirriam-Webster defines discernment as "the quality of being able to comprehend what is obscure." An easier way to say it may be "learning the difference between choosing love over fear".

It is often easy to ignore one's discernment at the beginning of a person's spiritual journey when he or she is experiencing the "buzz" and spiritual high that shifting one's personal vibrations brings. It feels so good that we keep looking for the next spiritual high without taking the time to fully learn from our previous lessons.

The good news is that most of us come back down to earth and start to realize that we need to use our discernment all the time once we are spiritually aware. We begin to trust ourselves to make better and better choices.

For example, because of the way some friends and family members have been raised, they might not be as excited about your deep dive into spirituality as you are so you will have to learn to use your intuition to discern when to share your newfound insights and when it is more prudent to wait.

You will also need to use your discernment when listening to spiritual teachers, gurus, and channelers to decide whether what they are saying really resonates with you at a deep soul level or whether what they are saying sounds "too good to be true".

Join Lola, Amaral, and Pamela as we discuss this important spiritual topic and our experiences using (and also failing to use) our best discernment.

Do you know that tarot is much, much more than a set of pretty images on cards? Tarot has roots in ancient metaphysical studies such as astrology, numerology, alchemy, and the mystical Kabbalah.

Join Amaral Valle-Torres and Pamela Brown as they place their fellow co-host, Lola Singer, in the hot seat to ask her everything they ever wanted to know about the tarot based on Lola's experience as a tarot reader and teacher who has been studying the Thoth tarot deck in depth with the same master teacher for more than 13 years.

In addition to learning the basics of tarot, Lola will also explain why she calls tarot "a conversation with your higher self" and how the cards can be used to shine a light on what is hidden in the subconscious so that people can gain greater self-awareness and make positive changes in their lives.

Dealing with the holidays can be a challenge after a spiritual awakening -- even many years later.

Friends and family may have a hard time accepting the "new you" and try to relate to you as the person you uesed to be before you did your inner work and stripped off the old maskes that they are accustomed to you wearing.

You may begin to question your family's traditions or choose not to become engaged in political debates or family squabbles.

In this special BONUS holiday episode, Amaral, Pamela, and Lola share their experiences dealing with family dynamics during the holidays both before and after their spiritual awakenings with the sincere hope of helping you to navigate the holiday season knowing you can keep your frequency high no matter what may be going on around you.
