  • A long overdue episode! Maria takes everyone on a tour of books, lineages and wisdom bodies that are good foundational starting points for spiritual practice. We cover the major categories of: Personal Development, Psyche Adjacent, Spiritual, Podcasts and Special Mentions to present a wide base of development that is most appropriate and integrative for every person/soul. Maria basically does a really good synthesis of each lineage mentioned, and “contraindications” of why something may not “work” for a certain person in their specific path. Wisdom is something that is very difficult to steal from you and has a very prescient form in one’s energy, if you need something to gift to loved ones (including yourself) consider this a holiday list.

  • In this episode of Integrated Awakenings we have a Philippine functional mushroom pioneer Jillian Sagum talking to us about her relationship with nourishment, and trusting synchronicities to manifest access to wild, ethically sourced, and the heart aligned business that she has today. She walks us through her unique experiences of sharing a lot of food wisdom during the height of the pandemic, as well as some more familiar experiences around Ayahausca, dream downloads and discerning the integration and call to spirit. Jillian has a steadying patience and quiet willingness to show up for what would be “muddy” work, that might be just the assurance you need during chaotic times. If you’ve been curious what spiritually makes, mushrooms that bloom earth violet — then this is the episode for you.

  • OUR FIRST OUTDOOR Atmospheric podcast ep! Come hang with Maria and Lilay habang pinaguusapan ang mga bagay tungkol sa pagagawa ng sining tungkol sa ating mga puki, pagtatahi, at ang simpleng kapasidad ng pakikineg sa mga istorya. I personally feel really expanded by this conversation, as a very real practice of pakikinig at pagpapakilala sa sarili, at pagsasabuhay ng mga intention mo sa paglilikha at paghahabi kasama ng mundo. We talk more about her previous and current works, and trade stories on how we came about accepting our creative natures. If you’re up for company sa may sunken garden with surprise puppy (and kitty!) visits, then this is the episode for you. 


    Covers:

  • Hot off the press we’ve got a very important solo-cast with Maria: talking about Life Transitions and the cycles of time. A lot of folks have a lot of tangled up grief and emotions around transitions: from being a child to a teenager, to what does adulthood even mea? what and where are the elders supposed to look like, why even bother looking forward to aging? The thing is most of these life cycles, are paradoxically, not going to change! They are an eternal constant, visible in the iching, the tarot, the way seeds are planted, grown, fruit and are replanted again. To think in terms of rhythms and cycles is also to be attuned to the natural breath of the universe, no matter what society, situation or problem you may have. If anything it’s what’s always been there so why not we have a listen?


    This episode doesn’t have much of an outline but key terms are:

    maiden, mother, crone (triple goddess archetype)initiations and rites of passagearchetypal seasonswhat counts as “adult” now?anachronisms

  • In this new solocast on Integrated Awakenings, we have Maria walking us through a new way of thinking about the energetic body. Instead of thinking of chakras specifically or thinking of auric layers, we talk about the major systems that make up and fuel our energetic body, referenced and synthesizing multiple energetic body systems. We talk about major considerations with: natal energy, land/ecosystem energy, relationship energy, the “pregnant” energy of projects and intentions. If you are someone involved in bodywork or simply want to have an integrative and energetic view of what “feeds” your system, then this podcast is sure to be some food for thought.

    Yes po 201 is a joke kasi di po ito 101 mej advance pero also basic AHAHA : > 


    Covers:

    Intro into why this topic(?) (!)Overview of: natal, land, relational, intention based energiesNatal energy and the initial catalyst of historical traumaLand energy and akma/appropriate ecosystems for certain kinds of makeup. Body alive, plugged and compatibleRelational energy, transcendent versions and how we make “room” in our bodies for folks’ energiesEnergies from major projects and intentions, how we temporarily make room, nest cocoon, and shift energies for them General notes on being able to increase the bandwidth of energetic receptivity, not being attached to the “high” of a catalyst/transformation, radical honesty to what is stressing/changing in your system

  • Have you ever felt a violence possess you and felt overwhelmed, bad, unacceptable? let’s Unpack that. In this juicily thorough episode we have Vicky Marquez, a great thinker and friend to walk us through why is it really that we feel uncomfortable about power, justice, gender, oppression and all manners of Systemic Violences, and what it has to do with both our personal and collective healing. We touch topics both personal and collective, around neurodivergence upto violence portrayed/normalized in genre/gendered media and arrive at such vast viewpoints with how to consider feeling so viciously violent.💥


    As usual, we weave healing themes around spiritual lineages, philippine context and catholicism and just very accessible skill-issue pa-“tool-kit” that helps anyone re-orient and even become a splendid ally to any feelings that have extra teeth.

  • Hello and welcome to a thorny banger! This is honestly a very tricky topic to discuss as most folks can have a lot of built-up trauma around money, systemic power struggles, and perceptions with income classes that’s just got it good. As much as spirituality and Love steeps all things, very “societal” constructs: like classism and privilege are these very real karmic-imprints/thought-forms/collectively-shared-baggage that can’t be just philosophized away but is something that needs to be seen with utmost clarity, compassion and alchemy. A very human integration to say, spiritual experience.

    Consider this podcast episode a primer to reflecting about one’s own privilege, how that shows up “karmically” for different folks, and how money-position-power can be something that is wielded with utmost compassion (while also clearing the imprints of how previous owners of these things, or nakagawian/nakasanayan ways of doing things) can also really offer a giant shift and deep deep freedom.

    This ep is partially in taglish!, some cussing too


    ANNOUNCEMENT: The podcast will be also be releasing every other week now to give more space to collaborate with guests and to sustain the depth and quality of our episodes. If y’all noticed some of the recent episodes released are also longer! (upto 2hours!) so do know we want to offer long-term value to our community and thus the change of pace :)

    Ep covers:

    more comfort but also more karmic cache?, isolationunequal capacities to do community workspiritual pracitices born out of certain kinds of populations, economicsintersectional privilege x non-duality and non-judgementprincess~royalty imprints & slummingshaming/masking one’s own privilege/truth, performance/presentation of rankemotional skills from impoverishmentdesire for achievements to be mine, desperationprivilege for good***spirituality is a privilege! you can earn/build up privilegebeing exposed to kindness, affording kindness, emotional sensitivityrelearning a relationship to money, internalized oppressionmoney has memory, exchanges can FEEL good being specific with our rage/hateshame: being open, and alchemizing with past hurtstraumatic shame in the body not the mind, delayed alchemydefine what privilege, true luxury-abundance is for youwhat do you actually want?fulfillment is an inside jobfilipino privilege “3rd world” but?

If you know a side of you that’s a frustrated creative then this is very much a potent podcast for you.

  • Hi! This episode doesn't have an ep intro so that it's optimized to be looped when you're sleeping or resting, or when you feel like you want to actively journey/visualize reclaiming your own energy.


    This is specifically designed to help folks recharge, outside the bounds of time, as well as to tap to their original frequency, supportive energies, and their innate magick, dimensions/levels/versions that are wildly and innately magickal.


    This is a multi-layered recording so it is more enjoyable with headphones/earphones. Feel free to "lean into" whatever energy bed/ energies feel like serve you best.

If you've been a long time listener of Amara's or Maria's, I also assure you that this episode has a beautiful synergy of energies that can certainly open you up to possibilities and self-mastery that can be lying dormant and awaiting for your willing openness.

  • It’s been a while since we had a magick episode so let’s do comeback with a banger: Let’s Interrogate What Really Is The Source of Magick, and what is really holding you back from having an infinite tap to it? Is it a thing you buy off the shelf? Something specially gifted? Something unconditionally and totally faced? Are we sapped of it by the dredges of bad thought-loops, and vampiric societal assumptions? What does it really mean to be aligned with your magick or to become magickal? Why is the Summary Full of Questions and Interrogations? 


    Go find out:

    What is Magick? What’s the Loophole? What’s that Really? (+Filipino)Would you bend reality without losing your mind?Do you want to have a direct link to infinity?What are your reasons for asking that?What’s your crowbar?What is it yanking open?Where did it die? Where did you sell it?Are you begging someone to see you?Have you ever put a reality in danger?Would you be willing to die? “Finding the Fck Out” ?What Miracles have happened to you? What is the quality of your Thought forms?  The Dream of LimitationsIs that Really a Leap of faith? Did you try That out? Did you Ride that? Is that Necessary? Where? Huh? Omni-efficient?Who is considered an enemy? underserving?

  • Continuing an old series (since feb pa!) — the creative process as spiritual discipline. In this episode we’re talking about how to feel very enabled and liberated to translate our curiosities and creativities in between creative mediums and expressions. We’ll talk about how that might just bust you out of a creative rut, and also activate parts of you that have felt dormant or under stimulated and raring to be expressed and wonderfully integrated. We also walk ourselves through some simple processes and frameworks that would help enable us to straddle different modes of creativity easefully and talk about cool prompts and questions that would help frame this creativity as a spiritual process within itself.

    If you tend to have all the hobbies, or are wildly interested in different things and trying to make sense of your multi-faceted creative spirit, then this is the podcast for you! If on the other hand, you’re still kind of wading through the idea of trying vastly different things and mediums, then this is STILL the podcast for you (HAHA).

  • Manifesting! Money! Miracles! Is always a high priority for so many of us. In this episode, we tackle alongside our guest Azaza, common blocks, belief systems and nuances that usually brings practitioners out of alignment. Wether it’s your definition of abundance-plenty, generosity, or perceptions about fate/deservingness, we’ll definitely be introducing shifts into that language. If you’ve ever wanted to hear us walk around the topic of “manifesting”, or in desperate need of a miracle, then this is the episode for you! thanks for being in resonance, with such generous realities.

  • I CANT BELIEVE I HAVEN’T HAD AN EPISODE ON THIS. In this ep of Integrated Awakenings Maria covers a few unexpected examples of how spirits/god/love “sees you” and your truth. Often times, a radical self-knowing and acceptance, is cushioned with out accountability, or the emphasis of being able to advocate your gifts and your work. Maria covers the necessary labor of coming into really knowing oneself, and finding the language of temperance to meaningfully participate in the world around you. They also cover some recent collective initiations around the HARA-it’s potent shadows, as well as being able to temper it’s teethful strength with the heart of the maiden-empress. (taurus scorp axis). If you’ve been needing to resource and root back to yourself lately then this is the ep.

  • In this solo-cast of Integrated Awakenings, we’ll be covering very useful developmental concepts with regards to how and why parents seem to be such a source of disappointment, trauma and unhealthy patterns we bring even to old age. Is adulthood always marked by this loss of innocence? Does anybody ever really grow up? What if our parents still act like children, what grief is that now? This episode offers a spiritual dimension to the natural projection and individuation of the psyche, and how our early symbols of divine mother/father/parent/love always have a fall from grace when we realize their very present humanity. 


    If you find yourself dealing trapped in cyclical parental dynamics (from any end), or meeting the grief of adulthood, then this episode will surely offer you holistic insight.

  • In this new podcast episode we have as our guest, Nix, a practicing korean folk-shaman and anthropologist sitting us down and easefully combing for us the core differences in thinking around western and eastern mystical-spiritual practices. We have a holistic discussion on how western philosophy may relate to things via pictures (the snapshot of a situation - eg: a tarot spread) versus the dynamic and relational philosophy of taoist-confuscian-shamanic iching reading of the same situation. ( a moving picture, eg: fengshui, an iching cast). 


    In this episode she also shares some of her unique practices, as someone who has grown up in the Philippines and is also a considered a “feminine” practitioner of “masculine” disciplines/texts, AS WELL AS other significant practices such as exorcisms, numerology, dream interpretation and modernizations of these practices and more. 


    If you’ve ever felt confused by traditional chinese medicine, want to reconnect to the energies and general philosophies that are the bedrock of east asian mysticism and medicine then this is a great place to start! (A good grasp of western tarot though would be best) I can also vouch that nix emits such a grounded and clear state of being that was such a joy to be able to share with the rest of the audience. Please enjoy!


    PS: this is in taglish, also we talk slightly fast with dense info so feel free to pause very generously

    Covers:

  • This is not a podcast ep! THIS IS A POWERFUL SESSION. In this episode we have Maya Banawa conducting a healing ceremony for Maria’s voice, intuitively feeling into, and sharing her process of guiding people into unlocking their authentic voice. For this session, what was released were warrior chantings, ancestral rememberings, child embracings — and meanderings around frogcroaks and what is really considered “a bad romance”. If you feel like you are drawn to creatively express and heal via your voice, AND/OR you want to listen into the navel root songs of a warrior heart tribes arriving, then this is the podcast in you. Our authentic soul’s music, invites your soul’s music too. (PS: maria considers this part of creativity as spiritual discipline series: this is a demo for song and sound)


    Covers:

    Intro, invoking the sun and environmentSelecting a song and reflecting on it’s depth and meaningWhat is a “Bad Romance?”, projections, judgements, wantingListening and Journeying with “Genuine You” (00:48min mark)Toning for organs and body Warrior chants with assisted drumming (includes ancestral healing and innerchild work)Closing RemarksPoetry/Rap enchanting chantings (1hr:59min mark)

  • In this very special episode we have Puki Maanawhari, a punong babaylan (with 11 years of experience) residing in metro manila, binabaylan mother of the coven of modern babaylan and alabays (babaylan in training) and very important resource with regards to babaylang history and experience. We cover very important and a wide range of topics with regards to babaylan terminology, initiation, their traumatic history, it’s accessibility, and it’s aesthetic appropriation in the arts and in queer terminology. This is a very candid approach with regards to having a working relationship with land spirits, rituals, and the realities of guarding a closed practice. If you are any type of healer, in the process of decolonization, and/or simply curious about the lineage/culture of magick that is held by the babaylan in the philippines and south east asia then this is a must-listen for you.


    As this is an often marginalized culture, I would like to personally request listeners to come to this with an open and receptive energy, as well as to be a respectful advocate of indigenous healing practices, cultures and who and what is considered “babaylan” vis a vis terms like “shaman” “energy healer” etc. 


    This ep covers:

  • In this podcast episode maria goes through one of the most underrated skillsets for holding space, group workshops, and institutional dynamics: the grace of excellent facilitation. Maria walks you through an easy to follow framework of priming, generating, guiding, closing and enabling to make sure that folks feel seen and involved in the many instances that group dynamics, cooperation and education is sorely needed. If you ever feel overwhelmed with handling groups, or feel like you’re not deeply engaging your clients and/or groups then this is the podcast for you!


    Covers:

    Intro, general structure and flow for facilitation(1) activating, priming, prep - questions that presence the person into the class(2) generative, open and weaving questions/prompts(3) summarising, reflecting the emergent themes/ learnings, what was evoked?(4) seeding a theme/lesson/technique/ “lesson content” (what people typically consider as “content” of the session) Eg: BME model for a theater class, clarity and alignment of this choiceApply/do things immediately with them to ACTIVATE people’s Will/hara(5) reflecting/sharing and the vulnerabillity/politik of the shared space, emphasis in the process as already a learning mechanism, speaking to one person and the group at the same timeImage: spiralling permeable circles, focus but also what’s around it?(6) a good close (reviews and condensing, grounding questions), the irl gap of applicability? if i leave knowledge inert i end up distrusting learning…get disappointed faster, meet them where they’re atthe students are the material??? process as revelation

  • In the second installment of creative process as spiritual discipline we talk about somatics and dancing! The podcast gives a brief overview of mystery traditions that relate to ecstatic release and cultures of movement in communities. We then segway to artistic containers and explorations, of authentic movement, allowing dance (and a bit of theater) to alchemize experiences that can be often so hard to verbalize. Maria traces the mechanics of why bodywork, curiosity and awareness is important and translates what an everyday, allied relationship with the body can look like and how to easefully get there. If you've always been interested with dancing, and exploring the creative dimension of the body to further integrate and enable so much potent healing work, than this is the episode for you.


    PS: i rerecorded this podcast two times, i feel like this is the most accessible and informative way for me to present all these ideas and informations


    Covers:
