Don't be afraid. Open wide the doors to your life.
In this final episode of Season 4, I share with you a synchronistic -- and recent -- story about two very special crystals of mine that broke on the same day, and the flood of teachings that poured forth from them.
One was repaired with no loss of integrity.
The other had come to the end of its journey and gave up the ghost.
One taught me about wholeness and eternity. The other taught me about breaking from the past and dying into the future.
Both shared their wisdom about breaking open and making even more space to be filled with more energy and light than I thought I could handle.
They showed me I could be cracked and even broken and still be whole and complete.
They reminded me not to wait to dream, and to take the steps I could take NOW to realize the biggest Vision of my life.
They inspired me to open wide the doors to my home, my heart, and my Being to receive infinite grace and blessings pouring to me, through me, out into the world, and to surrender to the natural law of expansion before I was ready.
Listen, and understand.

When we're going through the most challenging times of our lives, we have a huge opportunity to discover Wholeness.
The last year has been such a challenge for me.
Up against my deepest fears and most entrenched limiting beliefs -- by conscious choice -- I've been living where the rubber meets the road.
But this is where we really encounter the Point of Power within ourselves, because we have to.
Today I tell you the story of being brought back against my will to the property I thought we had sold after the deal fell through at the last minute,
Seemingly unable to move forward, find closure, or put something new into motion -- not to mention the absurdity of moving every stick of furniture and box back in the direction from whence it came -- I was initially frustrated, but mostly afraid of the big 'I can't' that welled up in me.
I wanted to run away. From memories, from pain, from responsibilities.
Then I saw that the house was me, and the situation was a metaphor, a mirror teaching me to let go, to open, to dissolve the primal fear of insufficiency from the place of Wholeness within myself.
To stay. Not run away. To trust the Self within the self, and my innate ability to merge with It.
And to discover that the Sacred Intimacy of Wholeness was what I had always longed for... and what we all long for.
It was teaching me to come Home to the Self within myself to know the Wholeness that heals all ills and provides all solutions.
You can do it too. It's our destiny.

Grasse Roots Perfumery: What my self-guided intuitive apprenticeship in perfume making taught me about beauty, harmony, alchemy, and blossoming from within.
Many years ago, galvanized by a powerfully liberating dream during nap time, I spontaneously started an artisanal natural perfumery.
I was an actor. I had never made perfume in my life, or even thought about it.
But within a very short time, a line of seven natural perfumes was birthed, fully formed.
Something was initiated, something was awakened, something began to flower in me that I couldn't comprehend, but I had the sense of destiny about it.
It was all part of some greater unfolding that I couldn't see, but I could feel.
This is the story of an early spiritual initiation, an intuitive journey into the alchemy of subtle essences that prepared me for my own alchemical journey.
As we cannot connect the dots going forward, only looking back, it wasn't until years later that I could appreciate where it was leading me.
It was a gentle teaching about coming into the full flowering of Self, which is always a totally unique expression of our gifts, blossoming to infinity from a point of power within.
And it has served as a gentle reminder that the Source of all beauty, creativity, and sustenance is within.
A reminder that has sustained me as I learn to break myself of dependency on anything but my divine connection to Source, and to trust It completely.
And, no surprise, the story starts, and comes full circle... in France.

"When we're not afraid, we take very different actions in the world."-- Megan Macdonald
Who would you be if you totally trusted Life?
What would you create?
How would you go about your day, stand, walk and talk?
If you felt autonomous, provided for, and had everything you needed within you, how would that change your outlook?
Our conversation about the ancient practice of Shivambu -- otherwise known as urine therapy -- continues with guests Megan Macdonald and Charlotte Gowdy.
Today we dive deeper into the vibrational effects of this practice on the subtle aspect of our nature.
The spiritual benefits of taking in your own essence.
Which translates to deeper self-love, self-acceptance, trust, and confidence.
I donât know how to account for it â though undoubtedly some day we will be able to â but Shivambu does something wonderful in your energy field.
It makes you fearless.
Thereâs something woo-woo in there.
Not to mention all the thousands of known elements that balance your body, mind and emotions from moment to moment.
Didja know Big Pharma and the cosmetics industry know all about your quantum elixir?
And that theyâd prefer you NOT to know?
You already ARE everything youâre seeking.
Once you get this, no one will be able to sell you anything.
No one will be able to frighten you into compliance.
Once you really, truly know that everything is within, and FEEL it⊠youâre remembering the Truth.
About Our GuestsMegan Macdonald brings together self-healing methods and a background in the academic study of ritual and belief. She has seen the most profound changes in her own health through two methods in particular: the Self-Healing Dalian Method and Shivambhu or Urine Therapy. She has a PhD in the âPerformance of Beliefâ from Queen Mary, University of London and is a published author. She deals in taboo, exploring the unconscious and teaching the tools that lead to deep health in every aspect of life. In between yoga and knitting, she can be found swimming in the waters off the east coast of Canada.
It was curiosity about her own chronic pain as a teenager that led Megan to investigate over 20 healing modalities. Shivambhu and the Dalian Method are the two most powerful methods sheâs found to improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. These have also led to the biggest shifts in her clients.
Megan offers her Personal Alchemy course throughout the year â guiding people through Shivambhu practices, daily habits for health, including fasting and cleansing. Since 2014 she has been working with individuals and groups, both in-person and online, to promote well-being, health, and raising consciousness. Megan is passionate about teaching Shivambhu with humour and fun!

Women: are you on speaking terms with your Yoni? If not, you're missing out on one of life's most fulfilling relationships.
We have no idea the power we possess right in our very own bodies.
For thousands of years, systematic repression and control of women's bodies and natural rhythms have divorced women -- and men -- from the true depths of power, pleasure, creativity, spiritual wisdom, and the expansion of consciousness that come from a rich and rewarding relationship with the yoni.
The yoni -- or 'sacred space' -- is a sanskrit word for the vagina and extends to the consciousness of the creative, reproductive center that is the second chakra.
The second chakra is the locus of everything that has to do with sexuality, creativity, money, flow, pleasure, and our one-to-one relationships with other people.
Healing the wounds of this center by letting go of the samskaras or unprocessed traumas our body is holding onto liberates a tremendous amount of creative energy.
In today's episode, I share with you how an accumulation of micro traumas as an adolescent -- not to mention macro traumas in later life -- contributed to a serious life-force leakage and distortions in my second chakra.
If your sexuality is not fully, healthily, joyfully expressed (whether you're partnered or single) you're functioning at a deficit and depriving yourself and the world of the most liberated, grounded, creative, spontaneous, empowered version of you.
Not to mention missing out on some pretty spectacular life-changing orgasms.
Oh yes.
All this and more today and in the weeks to come, in The Grace Space.

Are you truly the Master of your space? If you think mind control is limited to fictional sinister dystopian TV shows and movies -- think again.
The whole point of mind control is that you donât even realize youâre being subjected to it until you wake up.
We can no longer afford to simply accept official narratives about the events we're witnessing in our world; we need to question everything, especially when questioning itself is made the enemy.
Open your eyes. Open your mind.
But especially, especially, open your heart.
We need everyone who is awake and waking up to vibrate in harmony with Truth.
And how do we do that in the midst of intense pressure and chaos?
Sadhana.
Sadhana is a Sanskrit word for spiritual practice.
A spiritual practice is whatever helps you remember that you are a sovereign spiritual being.
Itâs a way of focusing your consciousness on whatâs Real and True, rather than on what isnât.
Sadhana makes you the Master of your space.
YOU. Not someone else, or something else. YOU.
Join me today as we discuss the simplest way to move to the eye of the storm, where the weather is always beautiful.
It's the place in you where you experience Sacred Intimacy, the cozy knowingness that no matter what storms are raging out there, the sun forever shines in here.

Are you still wild? Or has your wildness been civilized all the way out of you? How far have you drifted from Nature?
Sacred Intimacy is the naturalness of simply being as you are, and thatâs anchored in your wildness.
The loss of wildness translates to a loss of trust in Nature, in Life and the implicit order of the Universe.
When thereâs an agenda afoot to turn us into complacent, compliant automatons for whom our true nature as Source Energy Beings is but a distant memory, we need more than ever to come back to nature and reconnect with our wildness.
Our wildness is intimately connected to our Oneness, to Mother Nature, to our planet, to our intuitive self, to our body, and our Divine birthright of joy, aliveness, and freedom.
Feeling our wildness plugs us back into what it is to be fully human beings of spiritual origin: fully human and fully Divine.
When did you lose your wildness?
Are you ready to reawaken your wildness, return to sanity, and live as the natural, carefree, spontaneous and joyful True You?
True freedom is knowing that your Being is a closed system that is perfectly designed and continuously fed by Divine energy.
It follows the expanding spiral of universal abundance, naturally heals itself when given the chance, and lives in harmony with Nature.
In today's episode, I share with you how I lost touch with wildness growing up in the suburbs of the United States capitol -- and, how I'm getting it back again.
You can too. If you feel the nostalgic pull for a simpler way of life, for a return to authenticity and true healing, this episode is for you.

Confession is good for the Soul. And the brain.
It's time we told ourselves the truth about some things and connected the dots.
The dots in here -- reconnecting the parts of our brain that have been disconnected from each other due to trauma.
And, correspondingly, the dots out there -- realizing the extent to which we have long been subjected to systems of control that deliberately stifle our human potential.
Divinity has given us free will to explore all aspects of consciousness, even the extreme opposite of divinity.
There is a luciferic energy at work in the world; that's nothing new, but the outlines of its invisible hand are becoming more visible as increasingly desperate attempts to create chaos, fear, scarcity and division as justifications for increased control.
This dark, corrupted aspect is devoid of love and denies our divinity and our sovereignty. In fact, it seeks to turn us against one another, and even to turn you against yourself.
The solution is to wake up, connect the dots, and remember that you ARE divine, and you have the power of love.
But how do we make this a living reality, rather than just an idea?
We can fortify ourselves by promoting intimacy with our True Nature -- what I call Sacred Intimacy.
Sacred intimacy heals our inner separation so we can reconnect with the love that we are and the truth that we literally have everything within us already to live in love, abundance, and radiant health.
The best things in life really are free. And so are you, when you free yourself of dependency on the systems that seek to enslave your spirit.
Chaos, fear, and scarcity consciousness cannot affect you when you know you have everything within. You don't need what the world is trying to sell you, nor can you be bought. You become bulletproof and unexploitable.
It begins with Confession, a healing Sacred Intimacy practice that integrates all the disparate, exiled parts of yourself, leading to unity, integrity, and wholeness within.
And, as within, so without.
The world needs you NOW. Join me for this new series in The Grace Space, where we'll explore free Sacred Intimacy practices that can deliver you to yourself, free you to your highest potential, and make you a lighthouse to others as we go through the labour and birthing of New Earth.

"Chance is but a name for Law not recognized." -- The Kybalion
We're living in a time of unprecedented chaos and uncertainty. Look around, and it seems like so many things are falling apart. Because they are.
And yet, everything in this universe operates according to primal principles or Universal Laws, and nothing can operate outside the Law.
That means that whether or not we like what's unfolding, it's unfolding in perfect accordance with the Law.
Life never asks for our agreement or approval, it simply unfolds as a consequence of the Infinite Field of consciousness. But we often take issue with Life and what it's presenting us.
The Law of Rhythm describes the cyclic nature of all things; the in-breath and the out-breath, the tides that rise and fall, the seasons that come and go.
Embracing the natural rhythms of life is essential in finding peace through times of chaos, death, and endings.
In today's episode, I share with you what I've learned about surrendering to the cycles of life from the forge -- the one on our land, and the ones in the stars -- and the curious role of iron in the process of transformation, and the life cycle of a star.
Through cataclysmic change, a star can give birth to all the elements of the material world.
Similarly, we have the potential to birth a new self and alchemize our highest potential â if we, like the star, can die to be reborn.
Even in the midst of cataclysm, we can experience sukh: the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Why does it surpass all understanding? Because it arises naturally from within, independent of circumstances. It is a consequence of trust and surrender to the perfect order that operates in all things, from the corpuscle to the star.
And, stardust that we are, in us too.

The best thing to do when Life is purifying you is to surrender. Or... add fuel to the fire.
Purification is a necessary and natural process on the spiritual path.
But it burns.
How do you know youâre being purified?
Itâs often through a series of deaths, losses, and endings. It stirs deep questioning and even brings us face to face with our mortality, and what weâve made of our time on Earth.
Are you getting it? Or are you missing the point?
Purification can be likened to an encounter with a fire-breathing dragon that guards the treasure we seek.
We must gird ourselves to face our fear of being incinerated -- reduced to a pile of ash -- and walk through the fire.
Purification is called tapas in yoga and translates as 'heat' or 'austerity'. It's how life strips us of our familiar bearings and burns away everything that isn't our True Self.
It is a kind of death.
The question is, can we withstand the pressure that we undergo during purification? Or will we cling to the false self as the only one we've ever known? Do we choose to stand -- perhaps alone -- in radical truth? Or bury ourselves even deeper in illusion out of fear?
Sooner or later, we have to choose whether to step into Destiny or succumb to fate.
So, who's with me?

In an unconscious relationship, you're always working on the other person. In a conscious, ethical relationship, you're always working on yourself.
In today's episode of The Grace Space, I share what I've learned from two 'failed' marriages about what really destroys trust and intimacy.
It's not what you did -- it's why you did it.
And the fact that, most likely, you have no idea.
When we're unconscious, we're unreliable. Our feelings, decisions and choices arise from murky inner drives about which we are clueless.
Instead of relating to others from pure love, we tend to engage in control dramas driven by the unresolved past in us.
We can easily get lost in cyclic attempts to alleviate our (often subconscious) fears and insecurities by subtly or overtly manipulating others to get our emotional needs met.
This leads to suffering.
As we become more conscious, we gain the courage to take a fearless inner inventory and question our true motivations.
What is the deeper purpose of a relationship beyond falling in and out of love? Beyond the creation of children and families? What is it here to teach us?
Mass awakening continues to shake up the status quo on our planet day-by-day, and this year it will be bigger than ever.
The divine evolutionary impetus behind it demands a reexamination of our values and a seismic shift away from disempowerment to sovereignty, from systemic dysfunctionality to global healing.
This resonates on the interpersonal level as a yearning to recenter our relationships around authenticity, truth, and divine reconnection.
Global social upheaval on the collective level is reflected by the shifting sands of relationship and family dynamics on the personal level.
Change can be painful as we let go of our illusions, but as always, if we're willing to assume responsibility for our part of things, we begin to heal the inner divisions within us from which our distortions spring.
All relationships can be vehicles for transformation to a higher order. It all depends on whom you serve.
So, whom do you serve? Let's explore that together today.

How do we heal our relationships? And is it possible we've been missing the point about their true purpose?
For many people, relationships are a source of pain, frustration, even anguish. Many intimate relationships are minefields where we learn to step carefully. Many a happy wedding turns to divorce or uneasy cohabitation.
Until we understand the true purpose of relationships, disappointment is inevitable.
In a largely unconscious consumer culture, relationships become yet another attempt to fill the void, and we often mistake attachment and obsession for love.
In unconscious relationships, real love is muted by our constant attempts to get our needs met, rather than simply opening as love itself.
So how do we, as perfectly imperfect humans, open ourselves to love? How do we move from unconscious relationships based on projection to conscious, ethical relationships?
By failing. And by being willing to learn from those failures of loving.
By not putting unrealistic expectations on our relationships, and understanding their function as crucibles of transformation in our spiritual evolution.
By deeply realizing that we're here for one reason only: to free ourselves of the blocks to love that are nowhere other than within ourselves. And to BE that love.
In today's episode of The Grace Space, we explore Ethical Relationship, which puts Divinity and the Soul's evolution at the centre of relating, rather than our unresolved wounds.

What happens to our life when our sense of identity dissolves? What happens to our relationships when we no longer play by the old rules? What is it that survives dissolution?
Dissolution is when something falls apart, disperses, dissolves, and changes form. It's a form of death. We see it in the rotting fruit; the log in the fire that turns to ash; the sugar cube that melts into your coffee.
Dissolution is part of Nature and the universe. It's one half of the alchemical process coagulum solvare, the process by which all things are constantly moving between densification and dissolution. It happens at every scale of existence, including the stars, who expand and collapse in on themselves over eons of time to fuse the very elements that make up our bodies and everything we know.
In the journey of the Soul, dissolution occurs as you let go of the false self with all its beliefs, requirements, and its created world. Things, people, familiar roles, your health, even parts of you are removed. The hard shell of the ego begins to crack and fall away, obsolete patterns are exposed, and long-buried fears are no longer resisted, but faced. Everything that you thought you knew and believed you were is called into question and you, as you knew yourself, begin to dissolve.
The truth is, you can't survive dissolution. Not the you you think of as you. But something that could never be destroyed emerges.
Call it the Dark Night of the Soul, call it The Void, call it Shaktipat -- it feels like a period of intense pressure, and it isn't easy. In today's episode, I share with you how I'm experiencing Dissolution.

Why do we store the past inside us instead of letting it go? Why do we hold on to pain? Because we can't handle it.
In this episode, we explore our tendency to stockpile emotional energy, or samskaras, and the often serious consequences this has on our life.
The truth is, we were never taught to handle our emotional energy.
It's commonly accepted that we should live our life, choose our relationships, our work, and generally base our decisions on what will maximize pleasure and minimize pain.
This is what most people are engaged in, and it's considered totally normal and even sensible to adopt this approach.
It's evident in our broken medical system, for example, which pushes drugs to handle symptoms without inquiring into the source of the dis-ease.
The problem is that avoiding pain or treating it superficially doesn't make the pain go away. It only increases the pressure we feel from never having dealt with it.
When we make life choices in order to avoid disturbing the sleeping dragon, we never engage the source of our suffering: the fact that we ourselves have stored this energy in us, and we are the only ones who can dissolve it.
While we hold on to these unresolved energies of the past, we block our own life force energy from circulating and providing the natural, uncaused feelings of wellbeing that we long for.
And when we can't handle the range of emotions that our heart continually emanates, we shut ourselves down and live in greyscale. This can have serious consequences for our lives that last for years and cause great suffering for ourselves and others.
I'll share how not being able to handle the full range of my own emotions led to just such a situation.
Freedom is knowing that no matter what happens in your life, it cannot shake your profound peace and wellbeing. You never needed life to give you those feelings, because their source is within you. But while you're all blocked up inside, you'll never know it.
Let's explore this together and see what we can let go of today.___________________________________________________________________________________

Death is everywhere. But that doesn't have to be a downer. If we embrace it, we are reborn.
Welcome to Season 4 of The Grace Space!
There are seasons in life, just as there are seasons in the year. And it's important to recognize that these seasons are a natural part of how we grow and evolve.
It does no good to resist winter when we're in winter. Winter has its purpose and its place. Under the ground, in the dark, miraculous things are happening, even though what appears before our eyes seems grey, cold, and dead.
In our human life, we experience winter as seasons of endings that can feel like death. These are opportunities to process all the emotions that we associate with death -- fear, grief, regret, sadness, despair -- and to ask the deeper questions about life.
This season of The Grace Space is the most personal one yet. I'm going to take you with me as I apply the principles of spiritual law to my own dark night of the soul. Because as it happens, I'm in one.
And the content of our life is the curriculum for our evolution.
In this first episode we're going to talk about what's really been driving our choices and decisions, running (and sometimes ruining) our lives, and my encounter with my personified ego during a shamanic journey. Which was basically the first domino.
But don't worry -- there's plenty to laugh about too. Like this clip from The Heat, which I mention at the end of the episode.
In fact, humour and death are close cousins. So let's go.

Are you 'standing in your Truth'? Is that just an ego trip? Is it selfish to be your Self?
There seems to be some confusion about what it means to 'stand in your Truth'.
What is my truth? Am I allowed to be myself? What does that even mean? What about other people? If I'm true to myself, it could hurt others.
If I'm true to myself, my life might fall apart!
Yes.
When we truly 'stand in our truth', we find out whether our carefully constructed life can withstand it.
Was it a real life? Or a fake one?
As we said last week, courage is the price of admission for self-initiation on the spiritual path.
In this final Q&A we get to the heart of the matter and strip away all the habits and justifications we use as bandaids and ways to avoid actually growing. We'll talk about...
how to tell the difference between standing in your truth and ego tripping or self-inflationwhether thinking is necessary for survivalthe higher purpose of spiritual relationshipshow to use the four phrases of Ho'oponopono in a real life situation so you can attract more and more and 'do' less and lesswhat's the point of doing spiritual work if it makes your life fall apart?And more in this final episode of Season 3.

In today's Q&A, we invite the intellect over for tea and listen to all the ego's 'yeah, buts'. Well, maybe not ALL...
The egoic mind is full of resistance to spiritual truth. But there is another part of us that recognizes it when we hear it.
When that part of us outweighs the egoâs resistance, the thirst for growth becomes all-consuming. But you have to be willing to go deep if you really want to be free.
Courage is the price of admission to your True Self.
This panoply of perfect puzzlers in this episode represents our attempt to finesse answers from our True Self and leap from one paradigm to another.
This Q&A is a journey from the mind to the heart, the 3rd dimension to the 5th dimension, the linear to the nonlinear.
Today we're grappling with...
the consequences of manifesting from push energy as opposed to consciously surrendering to the highest goodthe excuses, reasons and rationalizations we offer ourselves and others to avoid going to the deep and dark places that birth us back into the Lightreal life examples of taking radical responsibility, and how it puts us on a higher timelinethe difference between letting go and passivitythe ego's love affair with victim consciousness and how to get over your own dramaAnd much more! Join me as we explore and discover more thanks to your questions.

In today's episode, we'll talk about...
the EGO! Understanding its origin, function, and how to free yourself from its limiting programs so you can let go the burdens of the past and truly come aliveWhy we forget our True Nature and get lost behind the veil of illusionThe true dynamic at the root of nearly ALL relationships and why we need to be honest, admit it, and own itTherapy, digging up the past, and the difference in focus between therapy and spiritual workan exercise you can use to discover what your life lessons are and the underlying purpose of difficult relationshipsAnd much more, including grandiose toasters, my ego's nickname, and a really loud computer fan.

To break free of your cocoon requires courage, honesty, and a refusal to play the roles and the games that are expected of you by just about everyone.
âYour path is the path of Graceâ, my teacher told me several years after I had committed to my spiritual journey. Intuitively I knew it was true, but I canât say I understood what exactly it meant.
Over the years Iâve deeply pondered what Grace is, how it has acted in my life, and what it means to be on the path of Grace.
I see it as a path of simplicity. Simply being YOU, unadorned.
How? By dropping the mask -- letting go of everything that is false and leaving the sleepy comfort of your cocoon.
When we let go of playing games and playing roles to get our needs met, whether emotionally, physically, financially, or even spiritually, we enter a new space of consciousness like walking from a dank, stuffy room into the fresh air.
Thatâs when magic happens: we attract the Grace by our new frequency.
I didnât understand any of this back when a dear friend angelically guided me toward a new vocation on the path of Grace after her passing.
In todayâs episode, I shareâŠ
The hallmarks of any truly self-realized person and how to recognize one (hint: itâs not by how many Instagram followers they have)How and why I transitioned to a new vocational path in the midst of the happiest time in my life as a performerMy first experience in the role of âpriestessâThe amazing sign I received from the spirit realm when I really needed some reassurance after taking what felt like a huge, crazy riskAnd lots more, including visions of domes in France, singing with kids in hockey skates, and the best preparation for being a yogi.
