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.

As a daughter of the Tennessee and Virginia Appala As a daughter of the Tennessee and Virginia Appalachia, the loss of Dolly Parton feels like the loss of our tribal elder. Our spiritual mother. The middle path Priestess. Our hillbilly Oracle-ess. I will never forget watching video footage of a the Massai people in Africa, listening to her songs for the first time and weeping. They didn’t speak English, but they understood longing. They understood that the inner cry of nostalgia is as crystal blue as the smoky  Mountains on a summer day and that there is nothing that separates us as people other than our lack of clear sight. Dolly, I’ve loved you since I was a kid. May you pass sweetly into the light. Kt
You are not here on this planet to get the perfect You are not here on this planet to get the perfect poo.

The study of Ayurveda is not JUST to figure out how to get good health and great digestion. 

The point of this school, and I think a life well lived, isn’t to eat perfectly and achieve flawless elimination…

The point of this practice is that we touch truth. 

Ayurveda goes beyond just the physical.

Ayurveda is about developing our psychospiritual digestion, our capacity to burn through our ignorance and confusion about who we really are. ❤️‍🔥

This smoothie is a little love letter to pitta sea This smoothie is a little love letter to pitta season. 🌿🥥 Bananas, coconut, mint and coconut water all help replenish fluids, soothe excess heat and nourish the tissues, while spinach adds additional minerals and cacao nibs bring in a hint of richness. 

I love to drink this as a mid-morning snack or afternoon pick-me-up on hot summer days. A cooler smoothie like this can dampen digestion if you have slow agni, so it’s best to drink it during peak pitta hours and avoid first thing in the morning or too late at night. 

This recipe is especially supportive for those experiencing classic pitta signs like feeling overheated, irritability, acid reflux or inflammatory skin flare-ups.
