Your Inner Child, Tree Magic and Women at Mid-Life: A Conversation with Pre-School Teacher Kirsten Bohl

Kirsten and I have a magical conversation about how to get in the flow of magic and joy.A pre-school teacher, Kirsten leads fairy walks to help adults and children reconnect with our senses so that we can perceive and receive life energy from the more-than-human world.We talk about Kirsten’s first mystical experience which happened while working at a college prep farm school in the midwest.There she had a vision of herself living and being sustained by three regions, the Midwest -her roots; the Bay Area for wizarding; and North Carolina for jigging and living in her heart.It was fascinating to watch Kirsten stop in mid sentence and consult her inner wisdom, which she also calls her Inner Child. Kirsten says any part of us can lead but to choose consciously which part we want to lead.  For example, the mind can lead the chi (your life force energy), but the body can lead the mind.  Since both of us have a lot of virgo energy and naturally lean toward quick mind, Kirsten says she turns toward the body, outdoors, and trees to slow down and ground.Kirsten pointed out that many women emerge in mid-life with new interests and talents, and we drop the “should” and allow ourselves to listen to our “Highest guidance” and trust the instinct to play.If you would like to tap into your inner child magical joy, Kirsten recommends you start with the following:Play with childrenWatch loving mother child interactions (could be a youtube animal kingdom video)Focus on your feet, especially wiggling your toesGet outside!You can find out more about Kirsten’s fairy walks and multidimensional healing services at https://innerchildoutside.com/TRANSCRIPTAmanda Aminata [00:00:02]:Hey, everybody.

And so to you, I asked, what's good?Kirsten Bohl [00:01:08]:Oh my gosh. Though what comes to my mind is the sky is blue today where I am. I'm in I'm in North Carolina in Central North Carolina. We're we're at the the center of spring, and it's it's beautiful. The green has filled in and the sky is a clear blue today.Amanda Aminata [00:01:31]:It's beautiful. And you said North Carolina.Kirsten Bohl [00:01:34]:Yes.Amanda Aminata [00:01:35]:Yeah. Yeah. So and in the center of Spring. So for you, What does that feel like in your body? You know, when you are in the center of spring and the green has filled in, around you?Kirsten Bohl [00:01:50]:Yes. A lot of joyful energy coming up and out and also of the sense of being held and cocooned at the same time. For example, going for a walk in the woods at the creek near where I live. There's that sense of the archway, the canopy, and just the enjoyment of that.Amanda Aminata [00:02:17]:Before we started this call, you had said something about trees and how you Adjusted yourself. You, like, gave yourself a chiropractic adjustment in working with some trees.
