Rooted LightFor the Wise and Well AncestorsIn this solo episode I chat about my recent exploration in my more ancient ancestry. This reciprocal relationship has provided me with so much connection, belonging and nourishment that I didn't quite realize that I was lacking. I also expound on this connection with ancestry and how it directly ties with our connection with earth and our own bodies. To provide a reminder that modern society has not been shaped in such a way to support the true nature of humanity in each one of us- and to begin to surrender from that shame.About Melanie:

Rooted Light2023 is the year I did brave shitHi Friends! This episode is a nice ramble session of me reflecting on the year past- you will hear me repeat on themes of ungrounded spirituality and getting back into the body (it seems to be my favorite topic these days) but I think for valid reason. If I had to name what changed for me in 2023 , it was that; integrating spiritual wisdom into the body.It's also Rooted Light's 2nd Birthday, yahoo! My oh my, all the ways I've changed and by extension how my business has changed. Gotta keep staying updated with who you are...

Beana has many decades of experience with altered states of consciousness, both in her personal path and with holding space for others.We talk about how "all roads lead to the heart" when you open the gate of self-development and/or spirituality.

Rooted LightTrust wants to be your BestieI don't know about you, but for a very long time it was extremely difficult to relate to the endless clichés that exist in all the self development and new age spaces around "trusting the universe" or "surrender to the process."I was often filled with frustration and sadness that these feelings of Trust did not feel available to me- even when I "thought I was doing it right."If this has ever been you, you will want to listen to this episode. I take you on a journey of how Trust became a m...

Rooted LightCultivating Coherence within the Body(ies)The modern day path of “spirituality” has tempting twists & turns. Such as getting lost in the abyss of systems, ancient teachings and New Age topics- I’m looking at you GaiaTv... This path has taken me on phases of endless seeking, dopamine-highs that come with new levels of awareness or understanding a “truth”- only for that understanding (and my ego) to be obliterated and transmuted altogether. This contraction and expansion cycle is one that is unavoidable for me, and I’ve learned something that has made this process less disorienting. Learn about it in this episode "Cultivating Coherence within the B...

Rooted LightHome is Where *Your* Heart isFor much of my life I have struggled with finding a sense of belonging. This has led to constant seeking for the "right" group of people or for a deeply resonant place to call home. I became disappointed, isolated and felt like my need to be "seen" was never fulfilled. This sentiment creeps in at times today. Prior to my travels to the West Coast I could sense these thoughts trickling in, "What if where I'm at isn't enough? What if I need a new start?" In this episode, I share my vulnerable memories of feeling like an outcast...

Rooted LightThe Path of RememberingThe path of remembering encompasses both the subtle awareness of what exists beyond the veil, as well as the devotion to the infinite self. I touch on some of the noise and distraction I see in the spiritual awakening and healing spaces. I reveal how this noise is not anything to fear or avoid, but instead to be engaged with in a grounded, skillful and clear way.Please note that I'm experimenting with improving audio quality and I'm experiencing some trials and tribulations along the way.

Rooted LightThe Path of Integrating ContradictionThroughout my life I've felt like a walking contradiction. I've shut down very deep authentic parts of my soul's essence to experience contrast and contradiction in a very real way. It's been painful at times but this tension, of course , is what creates alchemy- and has shaped who I'm becoming.I almost did not release this episode because it centers heavily on "my story" such as the things I've done and the experiences I've had. If you listened to Episode 1 you will understand that I don't hold strong attachments to these things, but rather I consider them...
2023-07-0250 minRooted LightWalking through life with a Closed HeartThis episode is a very personal one, but I think many of you will relate to it. This is a story about how my heart was yelling out for attention, yet I could not hear it, and now I’ve given it the opportunity to speak. This is NOT a story about being a “victim” to societal conditioning, my upbringing, or the culture I was raised in. But rather, this is a story about how I confused my deeply intelligent yet unhealthy tendency towards people pleasing as qualities of having a big heart.I hope you all find deep peace...
2023-06-1943 minRooted LightWho you ARE is static in time. Who you BE expands with your essence.In my very first episode I implore the question of "Who I am" and "Who you are." Through many shifts and changes in my life, I've come to recognize that who I am cannot be distilled to a vast array of identity points or roles. Instead, who I am becomes "Who I choose to BE" at any given moment. This episode gets a little heady and abstract, and my suggestion would be to listen behind the words.
