Sound Healing with Ashana

Episode 105: Talking to Trees with Kara Daniels

If you know me, you know I’m a tree lover. When I saw a post on “Tree Communication” by Kara from Deep Root Connections shared by a friend, I got way excited. I was so happy to hear someone talking out loud about things I know to be true!

Kara believes that each of us holds the innate ability to communicate, co-create, and heal with all life, seen and unseen. The nature spirits, the guardians of the land and physical beings want to reignite our relationship with them and work together. It is Kara’s goal to help us commune with the unseen realms, to co-create and heal with our animals, our land and home.

I really hope you enjoy this conversation. We were really just excited to talk w fellow kindred spirits, and I am hopeful that you will find some of it interesting and fascinating. And truly, it’s all real which is so freaking awesome. Magic is real, our connection to nature is real and I hope that this excites you and you enjoy listening.

Episode 104: Entheogens with Christian Rasmussen

Ethnobotanicals are a fascinating and diverse group of plants that have played an important role in human cultures for centuries. From providing us with food and shelter to medicine and spirituality, plants have been an integral part of our lives since the beginning of human civilization. Entheogens are drugs/plants/medicine that give you a spiritual experience. The word entheogen literally means “creating the divine within,” and is derived from the Greek roots en (within) theo (divine) and gen (creates). Entheogens have been used by indigenous peoples for millennia for “healing, knowledge, creativity, and spiritual connection.

Christian Rasmussen is the owner of Minnesota Nice Ethnobotanicals, the largest Amanita muscaria retailer, wholesaler and importer in the country. After Amanita healed his brain while going through a grueling benzodiazepine withdrawal, Christian formed MN Nice to bring Amanita to the states. He’s collected thousands of anecdotal reports about amanita healing everything from anxiety, insomnia, and depression to more complex physical issues like neurological late-stage Lyme disease. He is dedicated to educating about the mushrooms’ healing, spiritual, and practical potential, and giving people access to this most iconic, yet most misunderstood mushroom in the world.

We spend our time talking about Amanita Muscaria along with some other ethnobotanicals and entheogens and their healing effects as well as mind expanding aspects.

Episode 102: Interview with Former Client and Student, Stephanie

On today’s episode, I speak with Stephanie Saunders- a client and student of mine from about 8 years ago. I thought it’d be nice to share the story of her spiritual awakening. Plus, she was a client I immediately clicked with and wanted to catch up with her! Soon after she took Reiki 1 with me, she got the strong urge to move to Arizona, and listened! I have enjoyed watching her life unfold from a distance via her IG account, and wanted to learn more about how things have gone with her behind the scenes! :) Hope you enjoy hearing her story!

Episode 100: Thankful for my Teachers!

I’m at 100 episodes already! So crazy. And I’m releasing this episode on Thanksgiving 2023, it seems appropriate that on today’s show I sit down with three of my most impactful spiritual teachers. I am so THANKSFUL for all three of them, Janet Hensenne-Rosiak, Maura Bertotti and Joanne Kelleher. I love these women SO MUCH and was so excited that they agreed to meeting in this way! They all know of each other, but none have ever met directly, so this was especially special. I hope you enjoy getting to know them and you’ll quickly see why they all resonate so much with me!

On episode 96, I speak with Hana O'Neill of Suburban Witchery. I first learned of Hana bc the name “Suburban Witch” came to mind and I figured someone else had already thought of it. I was right- and she’s that someone all the way on the other side of the world in Australia! I signed up for her mailing list and started following her on social media immediately, as we have a similar vibe and purpose.

Hana’s goal is to make Witchcraft and alternative spirituality fun, informative and accessible to all. She runs a course on Psychic Divination, blogs about Witchcraft and Astrology, hosts a podcast ‘Witch Talks’ and loves to teach about Spellcrafting, Tarot tutorials, Witchcraft basics and even details her own journey from Pentecostal Christian to proud Witch.

We had a very easy time talking, hope you enjoy our stories!
