Ep. 180 Manifestation and Eight Feet of Nothing with Summer McStravick

This image includes pictures of Katie Silcox and Summer Summer McStravick. It links to a Spirit Sessions podcast episode about manifestation.

Are you ready to align with your wildest dreams and invite more magic into your life? In this episode, Katie is joined by personal growth coach, author, and manifestation maestro, Summer McStravick. Over two decades ago Summer created a powerful manifestation and personal healing technique called Flowdreaming. Katie and Summer discuss the parallels between Tantric manifestation techniques and Flowdreaming, limiting beliefs, self-worth, and those deepest desires we just can’t seem to manifest! Tune in to learn Summer’s step-by-step manifestation process!

Ancient Ayurveda honored food through prayer and r Ancient Ayurveda honored food through prayer and ritual, as it encouraged human beings to be in a place of gratitude when involved in consumption. If you think about it, it’s a miracle that food (something that is not you) can be eaten and will become a part of you. 

Ritualizing the eating process brings you into a connection with the Spirit, in both your food and yourself. By praying or lovingly ritualizing your food, you reduce any neuroticism you hold around food. 

Taking time to say a blessing also changes your mindset to a more positive one before you eat, which betters your digestion and assimilation capacities.

This is exactly the kind of embodied wisdom we teach inside The Shakti School. 

We don’t just talk about digestion as a biological process. We teach you how to repair your relationship with food, your body and the nervous system patterns shaping how you receive nourishment. 

When eating becomes ritual, it reconnects you to Spirit, softens food anxiety and restores trust in your body’s deep wisdom.

These women are the heartbeat of The Shakti School These women are the heartbeat of The Shakti School. 💓✨⁠
⁠
Through our Sacred Service Scholarship, we’ve had the honor of welcoming women from every season of life. Mothers, grandmothers, healers, humanitarians, entrepreneurs, homesteaders, and seekers - each answering Ayurveda’s call in her own way. Some are bringing this wisdom to rural communities, some to their children and families, some into existing healing businesses, some into humanitarian work and some simply back home to themselves.⁠
⁠
Their stories remind us that there is no single path after graduating from Ayurveda School. An Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching Certification is not a one-size-fits-all-mold. It’s a foundation. A way to serve, heal, lead and live with more clarity, compassion and embodied wisdom, wherever life has placed you. 🌿🍯⁠
⁠
Whether your “why” is personal healing, supporting other women, enriching your current work, or building something entirely new, Ayurveda meets you exactly where you are.⁠
⁠
✨ There is only ONE WEEK left until classes begin for our 2026 cohort, and we enroll just once a year. If you feel the pull, this is your moment to say yes.⁠

2025 was weird. For a lot of people.

We oscil 2025 was weird. For a lot of people.

We oscillate between doom-scrolling and over-informationalizing to numbing out and caring less.

We turn to our old useless hacks - the wine, the food, the TV, the dude we shouldn’t text. We blame our snoring husbands. Our less-than-fun jobs. Our kids who never give us a break. 

But here is the truth: I want a better, stronger, healthier body in 2026. I want more radiant hair and skin. I want deeper love and less drama. I want the deepest truth of my life to come to fruition. I want spiritual freedom. And I want it to TASTE GOOD, gosh darn it. 

If you are ready for 2026 to FEEL better - inside and out. If you want me (Ayurveda bombshell cheerleader and God’s little handmaiden, Katie Silcox) AND my team of 20+ AMAZING teachers to be your go-to army of health spirit warriors this year, then DO NOT WAIT ON THIS DECISION! 

In Ayurveda School we will help you answer one of the deepest inquiries we get around here: “Why do I kinda’ KNOW what to do, but I always seem to NOT be able to achieve it?”

In our school, we don’t try to fix you. We teach you how to get to the ROOT CAUSE MEDICINE of why you self-sabotage in the first place.

Deep down, YOU KNOW what you need to be your most radiant self. We just help you uproot the things that are blocking your glow and your flow.

You learn how pain turns into patterns.
How emotion becomes physiology.
How unprocessed experience dulls your inner fire and how to restore it.

We study digestion, skin, longevity and all the hot, fun, feel-good topics, yes!
But also grief.
Boundaries.
Burnout.
Desire.
Sleep.
Identity.
Spiritual Purpose.

You’re not behind.
You’re right on time.
Ayurveda School Level 1 begins January 14th.

Join us for a deeply intentional year-long immersion in ancient medicine, feminine-form wisdom and practical tools for living (and leading) from embodied truth. And looking and feeling HOT AND FABULOUS while also getting mystical A.F. 

You don’t need to be healed to begin.

🌸 “What you’ve given me is priceless.” — Kam, Level 1 Student

Kam came to Ayurveda School for her health: immune challenges, alopecia and a desire to feel like herself again. What she found was so much more. Through daily rituals, embodied learning and deep spiritual connection, she experienced real physical healing, renewed energy and passion, and a profound reconnection to who she is.

Like so many women in this program, Kam gained far more than an education (though the depth of learning in our school often blows our students away!). 

Yes, you will graduate as a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach. But you also receive the invaluable gift of knowing your body, trusting your intuition and feeling held in a true sisterhood devoted to growth, healing and truth. That’s something we deeply need as humans right now. 

This program is for the woman who wants personal transformation, spiritual nourishment and wisdom she can actually live. Every single day.

✨ There’s just over ONE WEEK LEFT to join us for 2026.
