Ep. 156 Not Your New Age Mama’s Manifestation

Spirit Sessions Podcast Guest for website

Join Katie and her dear mentor and friend Cristal Mortensen for a conversation about manifestation. Manifestation is both what we do and are, so by opening more deeply to our true selves, we can experience more of what we want in life. Learn why the common approaches to thinking and feeling your way to manifestation don’t work for most people, and what to do instead.

Cristal leads us through a powerful guided practice that you can use to begin manifesting today!

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ What is manifestation?

~ How our heart is the bridge between reality and limitless possibility

~ You are manifesting right now and all the time

~ How to honor the universal struggle of dissatisfaction, “not enough,” and inner poverty

~ The spontaneous arising of what we want vs. “forcing it”

~ Feeling difficult emotions without being swallowed by them

~ How desire and not having are two sides of the same coin

~ Why we don’t need to avoid negative thoughts and feelings to manifest

~ Why Katie calls herself a “recovering manifester”

~ How to liberate and loosen our perception of ourselves and the world

~ Experiencing the process of becoming (unmanifest to manifest)

~ How to manifest from feminine energy

~ The importance of the energetic, etheric realm in manifesting

~ Getting in touch with our deeper desires and questions

~ A guided practice to begin manifesting today!

~ Join us inside The Shakti School for Cristal’s 8-week course, Energy 101. Learn how to work with your body's energy to heal, vitalize and awaken to spirit! Moreover, this course will provide the framework for working with your own energy and bringing these techniques into your own healing arts practice while working with others.

In August, the heat and fire of pitta that built u In August, the heat and fire of pitta that built up in June and July starts to rise to the surface, especially as moisture in our body begins to dry out. 🌞🍂 ⁠
⁠
Ayurveda invites us to focus on foods that are cooling, hydrating and slightly grounding. It’s time to soothe the lingering fire of summer while gently preparing our bodies for the cool, dry, vata winds of fall.⁠
⁠
Here’s your shopping list:⁠
⁠
• Mint: Cooling and calming, balances Pitta heat and soothes digestion.⁠
• Peaches: Helps balance dryness with juiciness and hydration!⁠
• Grapes: Sweet, cooling, lightly grounding and ojas-building.⁠
• Pears: Moistening, helping combat late-summer dryness.⁠
• Cucumbers: Cooling and deeply hydrating for your tissues.⁠
• Jicama: Crunchy, sweet and grounding, perfect for balancing rising vata.⁠
• Sweet Potatoes: Nourishing and help stabilize the body ahead of fall.⁠
• Yellow Squash: Moistening and light, supports digestion and balances pitta.⁠
• Apples: Astringent and cleansing, they gently clear excess summer heat.⁠
• Quinoa: Light yet grounding, ideal as we transition from summer to autumn.⁠
• Milk: Especially organic + warm! Nourishes and lubricates as dryness sets in.⁠
• Coconut Oil: Cools pitta, lubricates tissues and calms inflammation.⁠
• Carrots: Sweet and earthy, they ground airy vata and prep digestion for fall.⁠
• Ghee: Builds ojas, lubricates tissues and strengthens agni without heat.⁠
• Tomatoes: For kaphas, their acidity and lightness help stimulate digestion, but avoid for pittas + vatas.⁠
• Mung Beans: These light legumes balance pitta and gently detoxify the digestive system.⁠
⁠
If you're joining us from the Southern Hemisphere, choose foods that balance vata right now. As always in Ayurveda, the best medicine is what's fresh, local and in season where you live.⁠

Everyone can eat based on pitta-reducing recommend Everyone can eat based on pitta-reducing recommendations if it is summer where you live, and you are healthy! (i.e. you don’t have a major imbalance). You may also choose pitta-balancing options when you need more cooling, drying, grounding or spaciousness in your body. This list is medicine for most people who suffer from inflammation, hyperacidity, anger, intensity, overheated body, loose stools, acne, skin rash or other pitta conditions.⁠
⁠
🌱 Here’s the basic idea: Increase the sweet, bitter and astringent tastes.⁠
⁠
❌ Avoid: Pungent (hot), sour, salty tastes⁠
⁠
