Happy Solstice!

In this second part of a three part series on The Mother Wound, Kristina dives into the deeper layer of the Mother Wound: the pain we carry with respect to The Great Mother - the feminine aspect of creation. The Great Mother is maya. Maya, comes from Advaita Vedanta philosophy, which is a branch of Hinduism which subscribes to the idea of non-duality. That is, ultimately we are all one. In this context, maya is “the magic power with which a god can make human beings believe in what turns out to be an illusion. By extension, it later came to mean the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real. For the Nondualists, maya is thus that cosmic force that presents the infinite brahman (the supreme being) as the finite phenomenal world. Maya is reflected on the individual level by human ignorance (ajnana) of the real nature of the self, which is mistaken for the empirical ego but which is in reality identical with brahman” (Britannica, 2021). In this episode two silly best friends break down this philosophy to make accessing and healing The Great Mother Wound palpable for all.

Also discussed today: extraterrestrials, alien technology, John Lennon, Ram Dass, Stevie Nicks, and more.

The Four Steps to Healing the Mother Wound with Two Tools

1. Access:

1. Ask: am I being hypersensitive or hyposensitive?
2. Ask: do I deeply experience the injustice of gender roles or environmental injustices?

2. Awareness

1. Ask: do I trust myself?
2. Ask: when and why am I closing my heart?

3. Process

1. Transmute your energy to the earth, i.e. dig a hole and scream into it.
2. Expand your heart: imagine or feel your heart expanding horizontally, vertically, anteriorly, posteriorly, inferiorly, superiorly (essentially in all directions).

4. Rememberance

1. Connect to the deeper truth: Love is always being given.
2. Connect to the deeper truth: She is always with us.

Have you ever met a shaman? According to the dictionary, a shaman is one who, “acts as intermediary between the natural and supernatural worlds, using magic to cure illness, foretell the future, control spiritual forces, etc.” On today’s episode you get to meet such a person. We welcome Robbie Houcek, an Apache-initiated shaman from New Mexico, who has served as a beloved friend and mentor to our co-hosts. Today these three women discuss six shamanic lessons that have changed Kristina & Anna’s perspective on life.

Kristina breaks down the fascinating book, written by Dr Emily Nagoski, “Come As You Are.” In today’s episode two best friends discuss the dual-model theory of sexual arousal: sexual excitation (the accelerator) and sexual inhibition (the brakes). This episode also tackles answering questions like, “what kind of sex do we seek based on our attachment style?” and “why do I need things to be just so to enjoy sex?” If you like sex, or want to like sex, this episode is for you.

Also discussed today: Sexual non-concordance, sexual assault, pleasure, and anatomy.

6) Address the protectors (managers & firefighters) first and then the exile within each pod.

7) After the entire cluster has been addressed, have all those parts do ho’oponopono to each other.

In today’s episode, Anna leads, discussing another book of John Gray, PhD, author of “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” In “Mars and Venus in the Bedroom,” Gray dives deeper into the nuances of sexual behavior, psychology, and performance. Are quickies “allowed” in your relationship? How well do you communicate in bed? Is the way to a man’s heart really through sex? What are the secrets to great passion? We hope to answer all these questions and more, on today’s episode of “This Spiritual Fix.”

“Eroticism in the home requires active engagement and willful intent. It is an ongoing resistance to the message that marriage is serious, more work than play; and that passion is for teenagers and the immature. We must unpack our ambivalence about pleasure, and challenge our pervasive discomfort with sexuality, particularly in the context of family. Complaining of sexual boredom is easy and conventional. Nurturing eroticism in the home is an act of open defiance.” - Esther Perel

In this third episode of our eight part series, Kristina explores the primal wound of Rejection. Have you ever experienced the sadness of feeling rejected? Have you ever rejected someone before they had the chance to reject you? In this informative episode you will learn how to recognize the ways in which the rejection wound shows up in your every day life. Our hosts discuss how “fugitive” behavior is the coping mechanism to protect oneself from this wound. Fleeing commitment, and avoiding facing problems head-on are the key ingredients to the mask of this wound. We explore tools and experiences that helped us forgive and love our own sense of rejection.

In this episode, Kristina and Anna discuss the personal and spiritual Father Wound. The Father archetype provides the child with identity, value, and power. When the Father denies his gifts, the wound shows up as a betrayal and misguidance (self-rejection & self-sabotage). This is an important conversation to digest, for anyone who has felt betrayed or misguided by their personal father, or the Judeo-Christian religions.

Beloved listener, please note, that this episode is an example of the shadow work steps of i) access and ii)awareness. Tune in next week when we cover iii) process and iv) remembrance to help bring us closer to healing this wound.

“Being in love means seeing the beloved all around me.” - Ram Dass

Welcome to mini-episode between episodes where we take a break from shadow work to discuss current events and special interests. Today, we discuss the recent studies highlighting the superior outcomes of female surgeons as well as the concept of Madeline Murdock's heroine's journey. Also, Anna’s TSF TikTok ended up in a British Tabloid.

First, we discuss two recent, groundbreaking, studies revealing that on average, female surgeons achieve better short-term and long-term patient outcomes compared to their male counterparts. The results revealed that patients treated by female surgeons were more likely to experience lower mortality rates and fewer complications (like infection or stroke) compared to patients treated by male surgeons.

Then, we explore Madeline Murdock's Heroine's Journey, a concept inspired by Joseph Campbell's monomyth. The concept was developed by renowned author and mythologist, Maureen Murdock, as a response to the predominantly male-focused hero's journey. The heroine's journey focuses on the unique challenges and transformative experiences faced by female protagonists.

The stages of the heroine’s journey include:

- Separation from the Feminine: the heroine embarks on a quest for self-discovery, breaking away from societal expectations and limitations.

- Initiation and Descent: She faces trials, confronts her fears, and undergoes a transformative experience that leads to personal growth.

- Return and Integration: the heroine integrates her newfound wisdom and strength into her life, creating positive change in herself and her community.

In lieu of a TSF short today, we wish to address the pain and sorrow so many of us are feeling this week in response to the conflict and tragedies in the Middle East. It is a difficult time for many of us, it is a time when we feel overwhelmed with experiences of conflict, horror, betrayal, injustice, grief, and tragedy pull at our hearts and trigger our wounds. For me, It feels like a web of pain that begins along the border of Israel and Gaza and spreads across the world, tugging on all the hearts that are close to this space physically, religiously, and ethnically.

The conflict here is deeply rooted in historical, political, and religious complexities with injustices and violence on both sides. We must understand clearly that terrorism is never justified. No innocent human deserves to experience terror or violence. It's important to remember at this time that the actions of Hamas, a terrorist group, do not represent the beliefs of all Palestinians, nor do they represent the beliefs of all Muslims. The Israeli government's perspective is that swift and decisive retaliatory action is the only way terrorists like Hamas can be defeated. The Israeli government is not all Jews, just as Hamas is not all Palestinians. We wish for a speedy end to this war and for as few civilian deaths as possible on both sides. 

Today, we would like to say a prayer for peace. For ourselves, for the children of Israel, for the children of Palestine, and for the children and inner children all over this planet. Polarization is a seed that can grow into violence, and to break our ties with polarity we must build our capacity for tolerance. Participating in active compassion practices for the children of the Middle East is a way for each and everyone of us to begin to bridge the divide and work towards a more peaceful future. 

Compassion for children is an excellent starting point for this journey towards unity. As your compassion for innocent children on both sides of the border grows, you can build upon your compassion for their mothers, fathers, aunts, and uncles.

The suffering of children is a tragic consequence of our collective failure, and it is our responsibility as adults to work towards a more peaceful and inclusive world. As much as possible in these coming weeks, and years, please set aside your differences, your hurts, your political idealisms, and prioritize the well-being of all children as we strive for a brighter future.

And now, a small prayer:

Love is above me. 

Love is below me. 

Love is to my left. 

Love is to my right. 

Love is before me.

Love is behind me. 

Love comes to me. 

Love comes from me.

Love to the children of Israel.

Love to the children of Palestine.

Love to the children of the Earth.

Love to the Universe. 

Peace is above me. 

Peace is below me. 

Peace is to my left.

Kristina discusses “True Forgiveness” from A Course in Miracle, as taught by Gary Renard. Anna discusses Ho'oponono as taught by Dr. Hew Lin. If you want to learn the art of collapsing dimensions, which opens the door to new possibilities, you won’t want to miss this episode. This is the first of an eight part series on the Primal Wounds.

This bonus is unlike anything we have recorded to date. We demonstrate for our listeners a real shadow-work process (Internal Family Systems) and Agape process (channelling).

Kristina and Anna take turns leading each other through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) dialogue, where the internal parts resisting the Divine come up to the surface. Then, these two best friends take turns channelling different parts of the Divine Mother: The Cosmic Mother, and Gaia.

This bonus episode is meant to accompany episode 3.20, “There are No Bad Parts.”

Human design is a fascinating system based on your time, date, and place of birth. Unlike an astrological birth chart, Human Design identifies your dominant chakras to create your personal body graph. This system can help you understand your strengths, weaknesses, and optimal environments for sleeping, eating, and working. In today’s episode, Kristina educates her best friend, Anna, and you, dear listener, on the basics of understanding your Human Design.
