In this episode Melissa and Sydney have a sit down with Intuitive Yoga & Meditation Teacher Louann Swogger. Louann is a fascinating human being who has studied with some of the most accomplished and cool teachers of our time such as Judith Lasater, Biff Mitheofer and Donna Eden. She has also been mentored by L. A. Finfinger, a Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher. Louann has been teaching in the Pittsburgh area as well as in Ohio and West Virginia for the last decade. She is a founding member of The Radiance Sutras School of Meditation and she seeks to uplift humanity through yoga, meditation, art and body-work.
This conversation takes Melissa and Sydney on a journey that touches on subjects like Shamanism, Yoga, and finding a teacher on the path. We find out how Louann began her spiritual journey and the syncronicities involved in so much of her life. How when we listen to our intuition, the Universe/Source/God, will take us on a sometimes exciting journey as we utilize our manifestation power. Recognizing that when we look for a teacher on the path it can look like many things, and we notice that the ultimate teacher is US! You co-creating with Source and allowing that flow.
Louann talks abouther struggles with authenticity and how interesting it can be for "spiritual" people to own being human. How we are human beings first, and need to be able to feel our feelings and show up for one another. Reminding each other, continuously of our holy purpose.
They talk about spiritual bypassing and how we can learn to love the human part of ourselves. Normalizing the shadow aspects of who we are and transforming the dark emotions into light energy.
Louann talks about her Instinctive Meditation teaching practice and how we can learn to meditate on an individual basis. Finding what works for you and shifting the perception of what meditation is and doing what you need to do to cultivate your own practice. And she talks a bit about how she met her husband, and soul mate, and what it takes to make, and keep, a true soul connection.
Come on in and join us for this beautiful conversation!
