    Podcast Summary

    • Embrace your individuality and live in alignment with your highest self through sound healingSound healing helps us connect deeper within ourselves, embrace our individuality, and let go of anything that doesn't serve our unique frequency.

      The importance of tuning into your unique frequency and singing your own song. During season 1, we had the pleasure of hosting Vylana Marcus, who shared her special gift of sound healing. She led us through a sound journey using her sound bowls and light language, guiding us to connect deeper within ourselves. The ultimate goal is to embrace our individuality and live in alignment with our highest selves. Through this experience, we hope you'll gain a better understanding of the power within you and learn to let go of anything that doesn't serve your unique frequency. Let's take a moment to close our eyes, breathe deeply, and allow ourselves to fully embrace the present moment. By doing so, we can continue on our journey of self-discovery and growth.

    • Receive healing sounds and loveOpen heart to receive love and sound healing, let go of old stories and fear, trust self-worth and uniqueness

      During this healing session, all you need to do is receive. Open your heart and let in the love and light from various beings and sounds, including Ilana's voice and the vibration of the bowl. Allow this healing sound to shake open any pockets of fear or pain, reminding you that you are held and connected. Let go of old stories and programs that keep you from being your unique expression, and let them be dissolved away with the frequency of pure love. Trust that you are loved and enough exactly as you are. So, let yourself be fully present, receive the healing, and explore any underlying feelings of inadequacy or comparison with compassion and curiosity.

    • Celebrating Our Unique Identity as Nature IncarnateEmbrace your unique soul expression, tap into your divine frequency, and offer your creations to the world.

      Each of us is a unique expression of divine love and nature, and it's important to remember and celebrate this fact. Our souls chose our families, bodies, and experiences to create a one-of-a-kind expression that has never existed before and will never exist again. We have the power to tap into our soul's frequency and allow pure love to channel through us. Our ideas and creations are not for us to criticize but to birth and offer to the world. By remembering our unique identity as nature incarnate, we can connect our head, heart, and body to our unique frequency and find peace and harmony within ourselves. "I know who I am in truth. I know what I am in truth. I know how I serve in truth. I am free. I am free. I am free." are words we can repeat to help us remember and feel this truth in our cells.

    • Embrace your uniqueness and self-lovePractice self-love, care, and embrace your uniqueness through meditation. Connect with your inner divinity and live in alignment with your highest self.

      Self-love and appreciation are essential for personal growth and the existence of unique contributions to the world. The speaker expresses gratitude for the listener's uniqueness and encourages them to be gentle with themselves. The practice of meditation is highlighted as a powerful tool for connecting with one's inner divinity and living in alignment with one's highest self. The speaker encourages listeners to explore meditation further through Ziva Meditation's online resources and shares the website and music of a guest, Bylana. Overall, the message emphasizes the importance of self-love, self-care, and embracing one's unique qualities.

    Lessons from Depression

    Depression. Feeling that things are just not right, not clicking. Being in a dark season where you question everything: what you are doing, who you are, what next. Have you ever been there to that place? Are you there now? This past winter was hard for me. I fell from the normal healthy place I mentally and physically reside in and I went there: being lost, not knowing which way was up, doubting myself.

    In this episode, I take an honest look at how I got there, what I learned, and what I am doing now to take those valuable lessons with me to my next season of life.

    #131 - Advice to my younger self

    With a lot of personal growth that’s been happening over the past couple of months, I’ve had a lot of understandings and insights surrounding myself that I felt I wanted to share with my past-self. And with you.

    I’ve done an episode giving myself advice before, in December 2021 (Ep. 20). A lot has changed since then and at the same time, I feel like I’m getting closer to a version of me I used to be.

    This episode is full of personal talk, emotional support, important reminders and proof that we are in this together. We’re all doing life together and I know that much of this episode will speak to you very directly (and kindly).
