Positive Affirmations (Verbal Vitamins)
Today, we’re talking about one of my favorite topics (at least in my top 10) that sounds simple but can be deeply transformative: positive affirmations. You’ve probably seen them on sticky notes, Instagram quotes, FB or maybe even your bathroom mirror—phrases like “I am enough,” or “I am in control of my thoughts.” But… Do they actually work? And if so, how? Let’s explore science—and then I’ll share some powerful affirmations you can start using today. So, what exactly are positive affirmations? In a nutshell, they’re short, powerful statements that you repeat to yourself to challenge and change unhelpful thoughts. Think of them as little verbal vitamins for your brain—nourishing, strengthening, and protective. Positive affirmations are more than just feel-good phrases. Backed by real science, they can help you reshape your internal dialogue, build resilience, and take meaningful steps toward a better you. If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to share it with someone who might need a little encouragement today.Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Trust: A Key to Joy
Today, we’re talking about something both ancient and revolutionary: trust—and how an unshakable belief in positive outcomes can lead to a more joyful, fulfilling life. “Let’s start with a big question: What is trust, really? At its core, trust is the belief that things will turn out well, or that others have good intentions. It’s the glue of every relationship, the bedrock of successful communities, and—here’s the kicker—it’s also a major predictor of happiness. A 2016 study from the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who have higher levels of interpersonal trust report significantly greater life satisfaction. Not marginally more. Significantly. And it’s not just about trusting other people. It’s about trusting life itself. Psychologists call this positive expectancy—a mental habit of expecting things to work out, even when we can’t see how just yet. Trust that you can thrive at any age. Right now I am holding space for women 50 and older who trust that it’s never too late to claim their life purpose, break free from fear and old patterns to fully embrace this new season of life. Set up a “Claim Your Purpose Strategy Session”. Call in joy and trust at any age.

Chakras & Health
The Chakra system, a complex and ancient concept derived from Indian spiritual and healing traditions, plays a significant role in understanding the mind-body connection. This episode explores the Chakra system's origins, its structure, and its relevance to health, particularly in the areas of emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Drawing on both traditional texts and contemporary interpretations, this session examines how balancing the Chakras can lead to improved health outcomes, highlighting the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. The Chakra system is rooted in ancient Indian traditions, notably in Hinduism and Buddhism, where it is seen as a map of the subtle energy system within the human body. The word “Chakra” is derived from the Sanskrit term meaning “wheel” or “disk,” representing the spinning energy centers located along the spine. These energy centers are thought to influence physical, emotional, and spiritual health. According to this system, each of the seven primary Chakras corresponds to a specific aspect of human life, and when these Chakras are blocked or imbalanced, physical and emotional symptoms may arise. Conversely, proper alignment and balance can foster healing, vitality, and harmony. Today we will delve into the Chakra system’s history, its components, and its implications for health and wellness. The Chakra system is traditionally described as consisting of seven primary energy centers, each of which governs a different aspect of human existence. These centers are aligned along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head, and each has a specific color, element, and function. So let’s get started! “Call IT in With Dar”!

Healing Modalities
In our last podcast episode, Terri Kiggins discussed the Emotion Code healing modality in our interview. So today, I thought that we'd explore a few other energy healing modalities, perhaps some of which you have heard of, Reiki, Healing Touch, Emotional Freedom Technique, commonly called EFT, and perhaps a couple more. Energy healing modalities have gained considerable attention in recent years as alternative forms of therapy aimed at restoring balance, promoting wellbeing and facilitating the body's natural healing process, eliminating pain. Practices like Reiki, Healing Touch and Emotional Freedom Techniques are among the most popular forms of energy healing, each with its own distinct philosophy, techniques and therapeutic benefits. In this podcast, we'll explore these modalities. We'll look at their philosophical underpinnings. We'll compare their approaches and examine their respective advantages in healing. We could probably go on and on and discuss energy healing modalities. The important thing is that. Reiki and Healing Touch use direct hand placement and gentle manipulation, where EFT uses tapping on acupressure points. And then there was Pranic Healing, which is no touch at all, focusing merely on the energy field. So energy healing modalities offer many advantages, and I think it'd be great if you give yourself the treat of trying many energy healing methods.

Clearing Spaces
We look back to previous episodes we have talked about the importance of clearing a space to allow for healing energy to come in and do its job. So today, I thought we'd take a look at several space clearing techniques. The practice of clearing spaces, both physical and energetic, has deep roots in various indigenous cultures, particularly among Native American tribes and shamanic traditions around the world, these techniques are often grounded in a profound understanding of the relationship between humans and their environment emphasizing harmony, balance and respect for the earth, this episode explores the methods used by Native Americans and Shamans to clear spaces the underlying philosophies and the contemporary application of these practices will also cover understanding space clearing itself. The term space clearing refers to the process of removing negative energy, stagnant emotions and unwanted entities from a physical space. This practice aims to create a more harmonious environment that promotes healing, clarity and positive energy flow; both Native American and shamanic traditions recognize that spaces can become charged with emotion or spiritual residue, often referred to as heavy energy. Overall, Native American and shamanic techniques for clearing spaces offer rich, culturally grounded practices that emphasize the importance of intention, connection and respect for the environment. As modern society increasingly seeks methods to enhance wellbeing and create harmonious living and working spaces, these traditional practices provide valuable insight by honoring these techniques, the space they inhabit can be more balanced and peaceful. So call in balance and peacefulness by clearing your spaces. “Call it in with Dar”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Visualization for Pets and Self Care

So I did a little more research on that, and today, I'm going to explore the principles, benefits and applications of visualizations with animals, as well as a self-care tool for humans, which I've used myself.

Stages of Grief
Today's topic is something that we as humans have all experienced, and that topic is grief. We'll be zeroing in on understanding and expanding on the five stages of grief, knowing that this is a complex topic, and there are ongoing studies into it. Overall, Grief is a profound emotional response to loss, any type of loss, whether due to death, divorce, change in career or other significant life changes. The basic model of five stages was developed by Elizabeth Kubler Ross and it is instrumental in shaping both clinical practices and a popular understanding of the grieving process, despite its widespread acceptance, recent research and perspectives offer other insights that broaden our understanding of how individuals experience and navigate grief. This episode aims to define and expand on the stages of grief, looking at both this traditional viewpoint and also some more contemporary viewpoints. As with last episode's interview with Deb and processing grief, we can combine that with our knowledge of the different models of grief and be empathic, understanding and flexible in helping our friends and family through this difficult process.

Are you your own worst enemy with critical, negative self-talk perhaps, about how you aren't good enough? If so, you know exactly what is meant by the term self-sabotage. In episode five of last week, my interview with Char set the groundwork for diving even deeper into the types of Self Sabotage, their consequences and how to address them.

These behaviors often arise from internal conflicts, unresolved issues or negative self-beliefs. They can manifest in various aspects of life, including career, relationships and personal development. Overall, self-sabotage is a complex phenomenon with various types and various underlying psychological causes. Understanding these different forms and their implications, is crucial for developing effective strategies to overcome them by addressing self-sabotage, first through self-awareness, then through cognitive restructuring and maybe professional support, individuals can work towards achieving their goals and improving their overall wellbeing so call in awareness of when you are participating in self-sabotage.

Animal Guidance Series: Hyena Medicine
I have enjoyed Disney movies as far back as I can remember. And the Lion King is no exception. This episode isn't about the hero lion, but rather the hyena, the villain. After studying the hyenas' various attributes, I think that the movie is based on ancient African folklore. When they picked the hyena as the villain, the hyena is strong, clever, fierce and powerful in reality, their voice sounds like a laugh, especially when communicating during hunting. The movie portrays them as ugly, cowardly, brutish, and dangerous. The ancient African myths also show them as stupid, ugly, and powerful. In reality, they are actually wise, strong, community minded, have great stamina, and are good at escaping predators. So perhaps the movie gives them a bad rap! Hyenas are found in Asia and Europe, but mostly in Africa. Within the animal kingdom, they challenge the norm. They are very unusual animals that look and act a little like dogs, but they aren't canines. Nor are they members of any cat family or other family either.

Resilience with Cindy Marie

She grew up in a life of concentrating on pure survival. She's been in the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, and now in Spain, and all along has had a desire to empower others. She indeed has a heart of service much more than just providing survival. She talks about unleashing your gifts.

Step Into Unshakeable Self Confidence with Renee Dominquez
Confidence doesn't live in stress and anxiety. This is one of my many favorite quotes from the following interview with Rene Dominguez. As we discuss the topic of unshakable self-confidence. She reminds us that “where attention goes, energy will flow”. And as successful women, she challenges us to reprogram to do” easy”, instead of hard. In describing the hamster wheel of negative self-talk, she illustrates how self-confidence is actually reflection. It's actually your past successes that help you build self-confidence. Not looking forward to something you need to do. Not looking at when I do this or want to accomplish that, but rather looking back Renee dives right into a couple exercises that we can use and easily put into practice right away.

Spiral Golden Path Visualization

The most noticeable benefit is probably relaxation. But there are others like boosting confidence, increasing awareness of the present moment. Boosting happiness, improving breathing and well-being, reducing stress and anxiety, reducing depression, having more self-awareness and insight, more self-control and grounding. The benefits have been research and substantiated. It's always good to sit comfortably. Close your eyes or lower or soften your gaze and begin by focusing on your breathing. Notice the air flowing between your lips and your nose. Be mindful of the rising and falling of your abdomen as you breathe. When your mind wanders, just notice it and come back to my voice Let's begin by closing all tabs removing all distractions now on the golden path we're going to adventure into your center and enlightenment in your mind's eye or imagination, visualize a spiral golden path it's wide enough to walk on and is totally sunlit.

Meditational Journaling with Sandra Johnson
Meditational journaling. Meditational journaling isn't about sitting still for several hours on end, according to today's guest expert Sandra Johnson, but rather a guided practice inspired by famous quotes and mindfulness activities. In her beautiful book, “The Mind Body and Peace Journal”, her emphasis is being fully in the present moment for mental and physical wellbeing. In our interesting interview, she recalls her difficult journey with prison inmates who spent long durations in lockdown due to mental illness and violent tendencies. It is here that her clinical experience led her to meditational journaling, for remarkable results. Welcome into this insightful interview with Sandra Johnson as we explore the mind and body peace techniques together. Many of these exercises are focused on the natural world, because there's a lot of scientific proof about connecting to the present moment… even if it's something as simple as just sitting by the window to help improve our mental health and physical health. Sandra talks about a study at UCLA that showed that people purposefully on a regular basis, got outdoors, unplugged from computers and the cell phones and everything and instead spent 10-15 minutes outdoors…they improved immune system, cardiovascular health and had several other benefits.

Above the Vibrational Line Guided Visualization
What do you think it means to have your energy operating above the vibrational line? According to expert Sarah Fast in last week's episode, that is the place of pleasure, happiness and joy. Similar to how sound resonates at various hertz. So do our emotions. They resonate at various energetic frequencies, and learning to navigate those frequencies can be very advantageous. And a very basic understanding can help you just plain feel better. That is what today's episode is all about. As we step above the vibrational line together in a guided visualization. Scientists often call this space the quantum field and it's a place where you connect to what is, was and will ever be through source. It is above the vibrational line. So let's begin with the awareness of our heart center, the feeling in our upper chest metaphysically looking into your heart with your inner eye and if it feels natural, rest your hands there as well. Let's begin deep but natural breathing, breathing in joy, happiness, peacefulness breathing out negativity, toxins, debris. Breathing in those higher emotions. Breathing out the lower ones. Natural breathing at your own pace and as you're tuning into your heart space repeat the affirmation, I am one and connected to all that is, I am one and connected to all that is, notice how a bright ray of sunshine or the space behind your eyelids become lighter. As you tell your subconscious that you are one and connected to all that is, your inner light becomes brighter.

The Sensitive Ones With Heather Nardi
Too sensitive, too emotional, too caring... You're such a softy! Do you identify with any of those statements? I know that I've been told many of these at various times in my lifetime. Today's guest empath mama Heather Nardi talks about the sensitive ones, who are often overwhelmed and overstimulated, and accused of being too sensitive, too emotional, or too caring.

This actually became the turning point of trying a more holistic approach to success, which we talk about today.

Soul to Soul Relationships with Gabrielle Thil
Today’s special guest is Gabrielle Thil, a “Soul to Soul Relationship Coach” who is passionate about helping women to fully embrace their love journey, releasing their insecurities and opening up to attract their magical soul to soul relationship. During this interview she shares her own journey and leads us through a “breath of fire” exercise to raise our energy so that in her words “magic can happen”! Welcome Gabrielle! I'm so excited to have you with us today. But before we jump into the topic of soul-to-soul relationships, will you please tell our listeners a little bit about yourself? And how did you get into this work? Gabrielle: Yeah, so, first of all, thank you so much for inviting me, I am really happy to be here with you. Everything started with my own struggles, in relationships 20 years ago. So, at that time in my life, I was working in the entertainment industry. And I had some relationships, but really, those that were not fulfilling, were not very happy. And I decided to consult with a relationship coach who was really working on the spiritual part of their relationships. And so I started to work with this woman, parents and friends… because I'm French. And I worked for a long time with this woman, and it opened me so many doors and my perspective and relationships and spirituality completely shifted. And, it's when I really started a deep work and the deep awakening of my soul. And I really started to see that my heart was so closed, because I was sort of ready to be rejected to be hurt. And so, in many ways, I was keeping myself safe. And so, it was really complicated to be in a relationship without really allowing myself to be seen and to be vulnerable. So well, I did some, some deep work with this woman to reopen my heart and really reconnect my soul. And a few months later, I actually met my husband, on the “Pilgrim Paths” in Spain, my husband is Spanish and so I moved to Spain, a few months later, and we've been together since and so really, seeing those beautiful changes within me, led me to deepen even more as this work and I started to work with other teachers later on, to really deepen my, knowledge and wisdom around relationships and so this is how I then started to share with women I knew first, some friends and later on some, some clients and says, “This is what I have been doing now for a few years and really happy to see the changes and women coming back to their soul reopening their hearts in a way that feels safe for them so they can really embrace the love path and finally, love and be loved.”Gabrielle goes on to talk about how she works with clients, how she met her own husband and states several examples of other women experiencing success.

Radiant You Visualization
When I say radiant, do you think of yourself? I hope that you do. I hope that you envision yourself as the unique spark of the divine that you are a beautiful light shining out from within. That is the radiant you in today's visualization. What I personally love about the power of guided visualization is how they fool the subconscious into feeling relaxed, peaceful, and how the subconscious totally believes in the scene unfolding for the listener in their mind.

Archangel Series: Archangel Uriel
What Archangel do you consider to be a wise mentor? One that you can call on for wisdom, insight and problem solving… Archangel Uriel! The topic of today's episode in our alphabetical miniseries on Archangels. In Hebrew, Uriel’s name means “goddess of light” or “fire of God”, and provides deep wisdom. For instance, Uriel is known to have warned Noah of the upcoming flood and to have helped the prophet Ezra to interpret the mystical predictions about the forthcoming Messiah. Uriel has been credited also with bringing the knowledge and practice of alchemy, the ability to turn metal into precious metal, as well as the ability to manifest from thin air! Uriel is regarded as one of the wisest Archangels; he's very much like an older sage or mentor, someone you would call on for intellectual information, practical solutions and creative insights. Uriel’s presence is rather subtle, however…so he could come into your prayers and give you a brilliant new idea that enters your mind kind of like a light bulb moment. And that is how Archangel Uriel appears. Uriel can appear as either feminine or masculine energy, depending on the connection in the situation. When I call on the archangels of the four directions to create a sacred space for healing or meditation, I call on Archangel Uriel in the north and the element of Earth. So one of the reasons is that Uriel is considered the archangel who's connected to Earth and could help us with earthquakes, floods, hail, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, natural disasters, and any big changes with the earth. There are many other things that Urial can help with, like expansion, the ability to see the big picture, Alchemy and divine magic and Earth changes, problem solving, harmony and your total body balance… spiritual understanding, studies, he can be a great help for tests and students in general. Weather as we mentioned with the earth connection, and can help focus so if you are easily distracted, Archangel Uriel can help with that. Writing any intellectual writings, wisdom and an interesting aspect of wisdom is if you have wisdom to share, but you need to get in front of the right audience, you can call on Uriel to help bring the perfect people into your path. When it comes to life purpose, Uriel can help with that extra energy boost or motivation that you need or perhaps knowing the next step in your life purpose, restoring an old hobby or releasing and forgiving, something that has come before. As with all of these archangel episodes I will be using a combination of my own experience, common published knowledge, channeling and my own personal truths working with clients. In this episode we discuss tips and techniques for working with Archangel Uriel as well as rocks, crystals and essential oils to enhance our angelic connection. So call on Archangel Uriel to assist you in boosting your inner light and passion. Ask her for help with wisdom and guidance to see the bigger picture. The next step of your life purpose, self-care, wellness, wealth and eliminating distractions!

Archangel Series: Archangel Sandalphon
Have you heard the story or seen the artwork depicting a fiery golden chariot, pulled by two horses of fire caught up in a whirlwind lifting up into the heavens? That is how, it was said, that Elijah ascended into heaven to become Archangel Sandalphon.... the topic of today's podcast.Sandalphon’s name means “brother” in Greek and it's a reference to his twin brother, the Archangel (who we have already done a series on). These twins… These brothers are the only Archangels in heaven, who were originally mortal men. And God gave both men the reward for their good work on Earth to continue their sacred service from heaven. Sandalphon’s chief role is to carry human prayers to God so that they can be answered and then clarify the answers to us. It said that he is so tall that he extends from Earth up to Heaven. In my personal experience, working with Sandalphon, he connects with the earth star chakra, about two feet below the client's feet. And indeed, he stretches from there through the roof up into the heavens. His messages are easily missed because they're soft and gentle, barely a whisper. He often gives us words or music that you can hear in your mind. Very gentle, floating through like the wind. He helps with prayers, both delivering and answering, clarifying and unborn babies helping determine the gender, music, connecting to the Earth and Earth purpose and clarity especially clarity of prayers and clarity of guidance. As with all of these archangel episodes I will be using a combination of my own experience, common published knowledge,channeling and my own personal truths working with clients.In this episode we discuss tips and techniques for working with Archangel Sandalphon, as well as rocks, crystals and essential oils to enhance our angelic connection.

Archangel Series: Archangel Raziel
The Angel of mysteries, the keeper of life's secrets, opening subtle sensitivity, metaphysical wisdom and knowledge. This is the topic of today's podcast, highlighting Archangel Raziel. Raziel’s name in Hebrew means “secret of God” and has access to all of the secrets of the Universe. There is a 13th century Jewish text said to be composed of many of the secrets and symbols of divine magic, called the “Book of the Angel Raziel” or “Sefer Raziel”. It was also said that Raziel gave Adam the Book for guidance about manifestation and God's grace after being cast out of Eden. Then the book was given to Archangel Metatron when he was on earth as the prophet Enoch, and the book was given to him prior to his ascension and transformation into Archangel Metatron. The book is available today, but it is very difficult to decipher. And it's said that readers must call upon Raziel to make any sense of it. In our modern day, Raziel can help with understanding manifestation principles, sacred geometry, quantum physics and other higher-level information. He/she can also open you up to higher levels of psychic abilities and increase clairvoyance. He can also open you up to higher levels of psychic abilities and increase your ability to see, hear, know and feel divine guidance, almost like a divine wizard.

Archangel Series: Archangel Raphael
A beautiful semitransparent ray of emerald green bright light often shines into my healing space over various parts of a client's body. This is how I often become aware of the presence of archangel Raphael... the topic of today's episode in the alphabetical archangel mini-series. The reason why I identify Raphael by color is because the energy is so soft, gentle and compassionate. When opening a sacred space, Raphael represents the direction of the East and the sunrise in many ancient traditions. Raphael’s name means “God heals, or God has healed” based on the Hebrew root word “rapha”, which means doctor or healer. This archangel is a powerful healer of physical bodies, both for humans and animals, and also helps with emotional healing. Archangel Raphael can actually speed up healing and can be called on on behalf of someone else. So, Raphael will go wherever requested. But remember, we have free will, and it can't interfere with a person's free will. So, for example, if a person is comfortable with their condition, or their illness serves a purpose for them, or it is something that they signed up for and their life contract, then Raphael is able to provide gentle compassion, but not full and total healing. But in most cases, Raphael's presence will have a comforting effect, which will aid in natural healing by reducing stress and anxiety that often accompanies disease. As with all of these archangel episodes I will be using a combination of my own experience, common published knowledge, channeling and my own personal truths working with clients. In this episode we discuss tips and techniques for working with Archangel Raphael, as well as rocks, crystals and essential oils to enhance our angelic connection. So don't hesitate to call on Archangel on Raphael for clearing negativity, addictions or cravings for physical and spiritual healing. Call on Archangel Raphael for healing humans and animals. Next time you plan a trip, call on Archangel Raphael to help it unfold smoothly and calmly. Call on Archangel Raphael to help you with your spiritual journey and to open your intuition through your third eye.

In fact, if you've seen some of the Ariel artwork portrayals, you might have seen Ariel as having a lion's head. In the Bible area works closely with King Solomon. In conducting manifestation, making dreams come true, spirit release (similar to what you might call exorcism) and overall divine magic. Ariel also oversees the water nymphs and fairies and the nature angels associated with water. The purpose is to maintain healthy environments near oceans, lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. I live on a lake in northern Minnesota and have felt Archangel Ariel many times in the wind. In this episode we continue to discuss tips and techniques for working with Ariel, stones, crystals and essential oil for enhancing our work will also be included. So, enjoy calling archangel Ariel into your life.

Physical & Spiritual Nourishment With Nicole Gerdeman
NourishmentWhat or who do you think of when I mention nutrition and nutritionist? I think of a nutritionist that I recently met on a virtual retreat. Nicole is that beautiful soul who is on a mission to help women learn how to nourish their spiritual and physical bodies. She came from a family with a history of obesity and the medical problems that follow. She knew that she didn’t want to travel down that life path so she became a nutritionist and more! In our interview she tells her story and then supplies us with a five-step process to follow for physical and spiritual nourishment, as this episode title suggests. Here is a glimpse at what she has to saySpiritual and physical nourishment. It's such an amazing topic of conversation because really, a lot of the time when you start with nutrition, you think of what you're eating right? Like what you eat, the food, the physical food, makes you healthy, but there's so many things that we consume, that aren't food that can really make a difference in our health. And so, when you start to think about “what am I eating”, then it's like, what am I watching? What am I listening to? You know, how am I feeding my spirit, right? Because, the soul needs nourishment, you know, just like the body, the mind, the heart, the spirit, it needs nourishment, you know, we all need love, we all need caring, we all need to know, that we're supported, right, we all just want to be, we all just want to be heard and recognized. And so, there's so many parts of us that need the right nourishment.The episode continues on to give our listeners concrete “take-aways” that are simple to apply in our daily lives.

Quantum Quiz
Today's episode is a brand new and different experience. I can't wait to introduce you to it, it is going to be a “quantum quiz''. So, let's set some groundwork. First of all, energy is everything and energy connects with everything. Also, energy carries information...it carries information from the past, the present and the future. And it all exists simultaneously in the quantum field. There is a connection of mind and matter here that can't be pulled apart. It's about the unpredictable parts of ourselves, like, embedded in the electrons and protons and responding to the mind. Now they can happen and respond in the mind as a pattern that we repeat over and over and over again, or as in the quantum field, you can collapse the time into past and present collapse together into a sameness. Not forcing control of the elements, but thinking of all the possibilities in the present moment. All the changeability. So that's what we're talking about in the quantum field, quiz. So for today's episode, take out a sheet of paper, and write down anything that is true for you. So it's kind of a true or false quiz. Once you have completed the quiz you will have obtained a measurement of where you are projecting in the field itself. So let's activate and integrate these activities. Anything that you haven’t experienced yet can be your goal for the upcoming New Year if you want to continue to embody the truth and buckle up for the quantum field and spend more time in the fifth dimensional healing world. So call in the quantum field, call in energy, respond in a positive way to look at all possibilities in the present moment ! Be willing to change, not force or control these elements. So, call it in. “Call IT In With Dar!”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Resilience Visualization
Resilience is all about conquering adversity, and overcoming challenges. Last week's guest Donna expressed it well, with an analogy of taking our baggage and turning it into luggage for personal growth. We can start the process by tapping into our optimism and in their strength, then focus on things that we can personally control. Easier said than done right? Resilience doesn't mean that we feel good all day, and happy all of the time. But rather that we develop the ability to cope and adapt to negative events that are inevitable in this journey called life. A simple affirmation or mantra might sound something like this. “I will stay positive and work on a solution no matter what.” That mantra opens the door to a resilient mindset. It's important to keep in mind that our subconscious believes anything we tell it to be true. Turning to friends and family for support, learning from past mistakes...finding small joys along the way are also very helpful tools in developing resilience. Join me in this episode for a visualization to enhance resilience in our lives, leaving our past challenges in the past and moving forward with resilience!

Kundalini Visualization
Kundalini energy is a powerful and transformational energy located at the base of the spine within the last three vertebrae of the tailbone or coccyx. Kundalini is a Sanskrit word meaning “coiled up”, and like a sleeping serpent, the energy lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is experienced. So, today's episode is about awakening and experiencing that energy within and a visualization where we will activate your subconscious into releasing the physical response of Kundalini. So, turn off all distractions, close down all open tabs, and prepare yourself to follow along with my voice. The first step in experiencing Kundalini energy is to raise your personal frequency or vibration. To do this, let's tune into 528 hertz, the frequency of compassion. Feel yourself relaxing as you follow along with this podcast visualization. Our energy follows our intention. So, in this episode we set our intention on experiencing and awakening our personal Kundalini. Kundalini energy forms a bridge from mind to heart, from earth to divinity. So, call in this bright serpent like energy, call it into existence into your life.

Kundalini Energy
Have you ever heard the term Kundalini energy and thought, What the heck is that? Kundalini is actually your natural birthright, and the gateway to becoming who you were destined to be. Not everyone is consciously aware of this powerful and transformative energy, but it's located within all of us at the base of the spine, within the last three vertebrae of the tailbone, or coccyx. Kundalini is a Sanskrit word meaning coiled up, and like a sleeping serpent, the energy often lies dormant at the base of the spine, until it is experienced. It is often associated with the direction of the South. All over the world there are names for this transformative energy. “Dumo, Fire” of the Buddhist, “Long” of the Tibetans, “Holy Fire'' from the Christian mystics and “Greater Kan `` and''Li `` from China. Kundalini is a natural part of being human and is gifted to everyone. Kundalini can be sensed, seen, felt, smelled and heard. Sometimes, it has displays of light, as bright as the sunshine or brilliant colors transparent like a rainbow. Many people experienced enhanced sounds of their surroundings, like leaves rustling, bells, or wind chimes, insects buzzing or humming, wind blowing and smells of roses, cherry blossoms, lavender, incense, even tactile symptoms ranging from goosebumps to a trembling or shaking, or even a hurricane building increasingly within you have sunshine and energy. The experience is different for everyone. Kundalini is a natural part of being human and it works somewhat like an electrical generator. Building up power over time. brain research supports that the more we fool our subconscious or train our subconscious with these types of visualizations, the more the subconscious believes them to be true and it will create a transformational physical effect in the body to boost your energy, enhance your immune system, increase your focus and concentration, as well as prevent overall burnout. Kundalini can also be triggered by things like an accident to the tailbone, severe emotional duress, prayer and deep meditation, sex, passion or even love. When you move out of the ego mind in the pure emotion, it appears. Remember, it's in everyone, but it might be laying dormant, like a coiled-up snake at the base of the spine.When awakened, Kundalini forms the bridge to go from mind to heart, or earth to divinity. Because everyone enters the Kundalini process, with their own unique history, habits, values and beliefs, it becomes their own unique personal experience. Rumi says, “I have come to bring out the beauty you never knew you had and lift you like a prayer to the skies”. That's Kundalini energy. So, call in this personal gift of transformational energy, call in the bright light within you that might be laying dormant, call in the serpent, the serpent ray, to clear, clean, balance and shine within you.

Light Leader Series
In celebration of our show's one-year anniversary, I am proud to present the “Light Leader Series’ with experts from all over the world! Today's guests are Sarah Barten, Mandi Bedbury, and Jean Berry. Our first topic is intuitive tools with Sarah Barten, where she discusses four tools to help us on our journey to self-growth. Thanks so much Sarah for sharing your soul's purpose, and the great information and tools. We can start using these right away with journaling and learning to as you say “scream on paper.” Going deeper into our old characteristics that aren't true... exploring our limiting beliefs. We can create affirmations and trust the universe. Thanks also for telling us how to ground by going outside, how to select oils and crystals and your technique where you close your eyes and say, “I let go of all the energy that is not mine to hold.” What a beautiful, quick, easy releasing ceremony. Thanks so much. Our next speaker today is Mandi Bedbury, who's covering one of my personal favorite topics, emotional intelligence, your EQ, not your IQ. The title of her selection is” my amygdala made me do it” as she discusses how sometimes we get angry and have a quick temper, and it's really our amygdala. Thanks so much Mandi for discussing one of the five pillars of EQ emotional intelligence in such a fun and interesting way. Your tip regarding dealing with temper and anger is greatly appreciated and will be helpful to many of our listeners. I'm sure the third and final speaker today has such a fun title and she is one of the most joyful women I know. Jean Berry is the game inventor mentor. And today she's discussing “serious fun and serious money” using physical card decks and board games to grow a business or to just add more joy into your life. Thanks, Jean, for encouraging all of us to create a personal card deck or game because they are engaging, intuitive, creative, they create movements that are memorable and magnetic, and a whole lot of fun. I loved taking Jean's personal card deck quest. It was indeed a” five-day play date” as she called it. Just a little aside, I paid full price and got every penny worth. So, I hope that you'll take advantage of the deep discount that she so generously is offering today for our listeners. A big thank you goes out to Sarah, Mandi and Jean for sharing such awesome wisdom and for their generous gifts that they've provided for our listeners.

Reflexology
Do you ever massage your own hands when they ache? How about your own feet? We naturally resort to instinctive healing techniques, like your foot rub, hand rub, or even rubbing our own ears or scalp, which actually is what therapeutic reflexology is all about. And the subject of today's episode. I love this topic, because although you can go to a practitioner to have reflexology, you can also do this on yourself with effective results. It's simple and it just takes looking at a couple of diagrams. Before we jump into some of these techniques, let's discuss the modality itself. Reflexology is one of several holistic therapies used to control pain and reduce stress. Various forms of reflexology have been around for centuries. I find it interesting…that evidence indicates several cultures simultaneously, having artwork dating around 2330 BC. Egyptian hieroglyphics showed work on hands and feet, as well as Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Grecian, and later Native American. In the early 1900s, Connecticut Nose and Throat Doctor William Fitzgerald became known as the father of modern reflexology. In 1989, the modality was formalized with the following definition: “reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas, which correspond to all body parts. The physical act of applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques results in stress reduction, causing a physiological change in the body. Overall, reflexology has a huge effect on energy flow, just as other meridian base therapies do. As I mentioned previously, I appreciate most about this particular modality that you can use it on yourself. It is one of the simplest ways to treat your own reflex zones on the feet, hands, and even on your ears. So, listen to the techniques, benefits, and overall ease of putting reflexology into your self-care practice. Call in reflexology, call it into your life. “Call IT in with Dar!”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Joy Visualization
Joyful, delighted, jubilant, exultant, overjoyed, festive, exhilarated, and over all light hearted!Today's episode is a visualization exercise, intended to help you feel joy and reap the benefits of a contented state of relaxation. Physically lowering stress hormones, relaxing muscles, decreasing pain, boosting immunity, and lowering risk of heart disease. Mentally... mentally, strengthening resilience, easing anxiety and tension, improving mood and overall adding more joy and contentment in life. So, let's get started by turning off all distractions closing any open tabs and getting into a relaxed, comfortable position. Breathe gently as the music begins to play. Gently turning your head to the left... began to recall a wonderful memory. Something that made you laugh and feel joyful. Picture all of the details. What sights, what sounds? What did you smell? Did you touch and taste anything? Play it all in a beautiful video in your mind's eye or imagination.With your head still turning to the left representing the past and the movie still playing in your mind...breathe in the joy. Breathing in through your mouth, swallow that sweet memory of positive emotions and feel it traveling down into your heart space to be treasured there. Breathe out gently through your nose. We are going to repeat this eight more times for a total of nine. (But I'll keep count.) Nine is the sacred number used in Toltec healing. Toltec loosely translates as the flow and the count and measure of the universe. The 9-count breathing is applied throughout this visualization as we work through past, present, and future timelines. Feeling delighted, jubilant, exultant, cheerful, overjoyed, buoyant, euphoric, contentment, exhilarated and over all light hearted. So, listen to this episode and call into existence, extreme joy and pleasure, call in, euphoria, jubilance and excitement! “Call IT in with Dar!”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Laughter as Medicine
“Laughter is the best medicine!” That's probably a common saying that you've heard before. But have you ever seriously considered that once you start laughing, you can actually start healing? There is a large body of research to support that laughter can be a tool, a tool to strengthen your immune system, reduce pain, boost mood, as well as increase energy and recover from stress. Humor can lighten your burdens, inspire hope, enhance personal relationships, as well as keep you grounded and focused with more clarity. With all of this power to heal and renew, it helps us to forgive sooner and release anger more quickly. Some of the best things about laughter as medicine is that it is free, fun and easy to use. It also creates a strong bond in relationships of any kind and helps us to let go of resentments and defensiveness. It even helps us to express our true feelings in a non-threatening way. And to be more spontaneous laughter is especially powerful in managing conflict and reducing tension when emotions are running high. A 2012 study found that babies laugh an average of 300 times a day compared to only 20 times a day for adults. I don't know about you, but I love the sound of babies and children laughing. When I lived in town near an elementary school playground, I enjoyed listening to the sound of children playing and laughing. I would purposely go for a walk when I knew they were out on recess. We all have a choice. We actually have choices multiple times a day, whether to laugh or just simply smile. Let's start to become more aware of those times and choose to laugh and smile whenever we can. That is what this podcast episode is all about...scheduling opportunities to apply laughter as medicine. So, call in the physical, social and mental benefits of laughter. Call them into existence. “Call IT in With Dar!”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Nature’s Creatures Visualization
This morning while taking my dog, Dusty Boy for a walk, a doe and two fawns bounded across our path, of course Dusty barked like crazy. And soon all I saw were bright white tails bouncing through the tall green grass into the woods. I recalled that the deer symbolizes gentleness, warmth, caring, and overall peacefulness... that's pretty much how my day has been. Through nature's creatures, many life lessons are taught, and they have been passed down by many cultures and through multiple generations. As we seek oneness in our lives, animal symbolism can play an important role. In today's episode, we will explore your nine power animals, nature's creatures that illustrate your abilities, talents, gifts, and lessons or challenges in your life. Basically, when you call upon the power of an animal, you are asking to gain an understanding of that particular animal's strength, and essence. In this modern day, we are very fortunate to have many indigenous teachings to guide us. One of my favorite resources is entitled “Animal Speaks” by the late Ted Andrews. In the following visualization, we will walk in balance with Mother Earth, and uncover the nine power creatures that you personally resonate with along your path. Let these creatures effortlessly arise in your mind's eye or imagination. Our intention today is to simply see who arrives ...who comes into your vision. And then afterwards, you can look up the deeper meaning by checking out the resources on the show note’s page. As we conclude our walk, in today’s episode, gather these nine creatures into your life. Then repeat this process as often as necessary to call in your personal power. Call in your nature's creature’s guidance.

Bridge of Light Visualization
Welcome to the “Bridge of Light Guided Visualization” intended to provide you with the basic steps you'll need to better connect to the astral plane. Benefits of exploring the astral world include co-creating reality, to manifest, to join in a positive collective consciousness and to create a better physical world. The most important thing to remember is that the astral world is a place where “like attracts like” and it operates with the energy of emotions and change. The more positively focused your emotions, the greater your personal light. So, you can recognize others' intentions by their light in the astral world as well. Follow along with this guided visualization as we first tune into the beating of our own heart, repeat guided divine light affirmations, increase our vibration and identify emotions of love, joy, compassion, gratitude etc. that we are experiencing. We bring in Archangel Michael to help us create a globe of strength and protection. Together we create a bridge to the land of possibilities, the astral world! Your personal bridge will become stronger and more beautiful with time. The brighter the light, the more positive and powerful the group consciousness becomes. So, call the astral world into your awareness. Call it in. “Call IT in with Dar!”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Explore the Astral World
The astral world is beyond the physical world with no specific boundaries, no time and space coordinates, no solids, no liquids, no gas, no molecules or atomic particles, but rather a collective energy and mass consciousness that is frequently changing. The term astral is taken from the Greek word meaning “related to a star”. It has been explored as a place of ancient people, spirits, and angelic beings and masters. In the New Age references, it has become defined as a place of manifesting and co-creating dreams into reality. When setting out to visit the astral plane, the ordinary Earth plane senses of seeing, touching, hearing, smelling and tasting will have no use in the astral world and therefore becomes rather confusing. To my knowledge, a clear sense of clairvoyance is necessary to experience this world. And that sense can be developed!However, there are two different approaches. The first approach is to actually stay in your physical body, while using psychic vision to sense the astral plane...somewhat like deep meditation with your intuitive third eye. The second perhaps you've heard of, and it's called astral travel, where the individual leaves his physical body to travel to the astral world, or have a dreamlike state. This is how I first explored the astral level. It was during sleep, and when I returned to the physical plane, it would take me a few minutes to adjust to being back in my body. Most noticeable was the delay in being able to move my arms or hands almost like I was pinned down. If that has ever happened to you, perhaps you've been astral traveling. And if that's so you might want to set a specific intention for your next outing, or your next out of body experience before you fall asleep. Be assured that you are always connected to the physical body by a thin filament or a cobweb light cord. The intention of the episode is to inspire you to learn even more about the astral world that has no boundaries, no time. No space coordinates, no solids, no liquids, no gases, no molecules, but rather energy, light and collective consciousness. Where like attracts like, where co-creation occurs, where change and transformation is a constant. So, call it into your awareness. “Call IT in with Dar!”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Peaceful Living
How do you define peaceful living? The following episode discusses seven practices to embrace peacefulness. Recently, my soul mate passed away rather unexpectedly. He had battled and overcame pancreatic cancer a few years ago, was cancer-free, and appeared to have more energy and more enthusiasm than ever before. We just came back from a wonderful trip. We had been to Florida, Texas, Sedona, Arizona, and the Grand Canyon. But a few weeks ago, he surprisingly fell asleep from low blood sugar and went into a diabetic coma, never waking up. No pain, no suffering, just quietly and peacefully slipped away from us out here on the lake, one of his favorite places. I am sharing this because I am grateful that I have been able to apply many of the vibrational energy techniques that I teach others, to reach a place of peacefulness. A magnificent peace that surpasses all human understanding. A deep seeded need for tranquility, buried below the fear, the uncertainty, below the noise of daily life, below our human ego, and below society's many pressures and expectations. Deep, deep below the cloud of sorrow and grief, finding not just intellectual comfort, but emotional and spiritual peace as well. Admittedly, it comes in waves, and that is why I am practicing daily connecting to my higher power and asking my guides to help me receive that deep seeded peace. This episode covers seven practices that can instill deep peacefulness when consistently executed. Overall, we will call in peaceful living with elements, such as, surrender, forgiveness, friendship, acknowledging that you are unique and not letting your past or your thoughts enslave you. Trust the lessons in life knowing that you are enough. You are loved just the way you are and you have everything that you need to call in peacefulness.

Mala Meditation
Today's episode is a guided meditation using mala beads or imaginary malas if you don't have any. The most important first step is to set a clear intention of what you would like to feel or accomplish in our time together. What is it that you desire? Happiness, healthiness, peacefulness, harmony, centering, protection, confidence, success, or to release fear, worry, or anxiety? Take a minute to come up with a clear intention before we begin…. Now let's put your intention into an “I am statement.” For instance, I am confident, I am peaceful, or I am free of worry or fear. Next, we are going to combine the “I am statement” with breath work and the mala beads. If you don't have beads, just imagine a small round stone or actually place a stone in your hand as a place keeper. In the following meditation, we will breathe in our “I am statement” and then breathe out on each bead. Applying the pattern of having the 27th bead as a marker, we will change our breathwork slightly on the next set of 27. Just follow along and focus on your specific intention that you would like to accomplish. Breathe in through the nose. I am peaceful or whatever “I am statement” that you've chosen, rolling the bead or stone between your thumb and index finger. Then breathe out in two short breaths through the mouth. Pulling the strand of beads towards your body to bring the I am positive intention or the karma towards you. That completes the first bead of the first set. This episode continues the meditation with four different breath work patterns completing all 108 mala beads.Join in to call in happiness, healthiness, peacefulness, harmony, centering or protection. Perhaps you will choose to call in confidence or success or to release worry, fear or anxiety. Whatever intention you set... call it into existence!

Mala Beads
Do you own a set of mala beads? I have several sets, but my favorites are made from the traditional material of sandalwood. Historically, malas were made from organic wood, seeds, or animal bones. Now they are made from many more materials. Mala is a Sanskrit name meaning “meditation garland”. There are several modern-day reasons to apply the ancient use of mala beads: to help overcome anxiety and worry, where you focus only on the moment of now... to increase feelings of being worthy, compassion and love... To find value in being better and better. So, areas of confidence and success... to increase creativity and passion flowing with the universe... for grounding and centering, becoming confident and wholly connected with Mother Earth... to regulate breathwork and balance, promoting harmony and peace...to feel supported in life's journey to feel protection. So, mala beads are not just a trendy fashion accessory, but also a useful emotional and mental vibrationary health tool. Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism and various other religions around the world use these beads for spiritual connection or prayer. The traditional mala strand has 108 beads, and one head or a guru marker bead to indicate the beginning and the end. There are several interpretations of why the number 108 is sacred. Many of them have to do with wholeness, and the connection of sun, moon and Earth, which is 108 times their diameter. The tassel is a symbol of spiritual connection, and it can also be used to diffuse essential oils. In some patterns, there is a counter bead every 27th bead. And if a detailed mantra needs to be repeated, again and again that 27th bead becomes a marker, or a reminder that you're on a new set. A newly purchased set of beads can be cleansed by setting them in the sunshine for a few hours and then activating them by fingering each bead at least once and setting the intention that the beads work for your greatest good and focus. A more traditional activation would be to light a candle and when touching each bead, breathe in through the nose and then tone “OM” the outbreath om being the sound of creation and the circle of life being the chain of beads. Let the strand rest gently in your palm and use your thumb and forefinger or your thumb, forefinger and middle finger to finger each bead and then pull the thread towards your body as you finish each cycle of all pulling the beads towards you, represents pulling in the focused good karma, pulling in the good energy in the process. This episode goes on to describe 5 specific ways to use mala beads and the characteristics of several gemstone malas for enhanced intention setting. So, explore mala beads and their power to help call clarity and focus into your life.

2 Energies 1 Body
Have you ever noticed that one side of your hair is easier to style or work with than the other side? This is certainly true for me. And especially during adolescence, it was a cause of great frustration. But now I realize that my hair is an excellent example of the two energies of male and female, or Yin and Yang. Perhaps you've noticed that I now have a practical asymmetrical hairstyle that is extremely easy to take care of: a chin length bob on my left feminine side, and a short men's cut on my right male side. (If you were thinking that my unmanageable side is the men's cut side, you'd be correct.) But my theme today is not my hair, or hairstyles, but rather to enter into a guided meditation or visualization to bring our two energies into a single alignment... to balance the yin and the yang, to align the moon female energies and the sun male energies.So, in this episode we address these two divine energies within our single physical body. You will follow a guided breathing exercise that can be used as often as needed to call in the yin and the yang! To call in balance... to call in the Divine Feminine moon. To call in the sun and the Divine Male energy... to call in two energies into one body. Call it into existence!

Flip the Script
Today, I'm going to go through a few scenarios that I have picked up from having clients discuss with me some of their struggle. So, taking on the world problem today is what we're all about. Actually no. But wouldn’t you like a magical solution? Well, I'm not going to propose a magical solution. But I am going to come up with three simple steps to make a shift. Now I know we've been hearing about mindset work and mindfulness quite a bit out there in the media. But, let's just keep it to three simple steps today.When we're dealing with anxiety, or a struggle or a problem, there's actually a space…now that's where the magic lies. There's a space between our experience and our reaction. So, researcher Victor Frey states that between stimulus and response, there is a space. And Steven Covey goes on to take it a step further and he says, in that space lies our freedom. Our power to choose our response. I know, easier said than done. And there lies our growth and our happiness. Because we've all heard that we're given these problems in our life so that we can learn our lesson. So, let's just try to learn our lesson faster, in my opinion. Mark Twain had like, more like a blunter statement, when he said, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting much different result. Yeah. So, we what might not be able to change the situation or the problem, but we can find that space before our reaction, or even as we’re reacting, we can make a shift. So, mindset work and mindfulness. I, they talked about that space, too. But let's just talk about that space as being magical today.So, call in change. Call in action. Call in a shift.

Gender Energy Balance
How is your energetic balance? We all possess both male and female energy as a part of a well-balanced life. This belief can be traced back to beginning civilization, and is reflected in several cultures, artwork and their traditions. For instance, the ancient Mayan civilization was aware of the importance of balancing the power of these two energies, and it's very evident in their artwork and practices. Here in the US, we became more aware of this belief through Eastern philosophy, with Yin and Yang, harmoniously balancing Yin feminine energy, and Yang masculine. The concept of two energies in one body is apparent in many ancient beliefs, with sun energy being a masculine persona, and the moon energy being the feminine. It is extremely apparent in Hinduism practices as well! Just to be clear, we aren't referring back to biology class, and the study of the X and Y chromosomes today.When we work with gender energy, we make time to communicate emotions and creativity in Yin, the feminine. While setting goals and taking action to achieve them in the Yang, male energy. We might trust our intuition and lean into our gut with Yin feelings while setting clear boundaries, and tackling them systematically, with the Yang. We can nurture and support ourselves and others with Yin feminine energy, yet step into a leadership role and serve others with Yang. With just these few examples, we can see the balance of female and male energy unfolding in our life. This energy can also be viewed as a connection of mind and heart. In this episode we cover the wounded feminine and wounded male characteristics that some might encounter in themselves or others. Followed by activities that could be applied to bring both sides into balance. We end with a simple “hands on” technique including step-by-step directions to implement it. You are invited to listen to this informational episode to “call in” balanced yin and yang energy, “call in” harmony! “Call in the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine to enter in and be in your heart. “Call in” these two energies, align them into one body. “Call IT in with Dar!”Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Cord Clearing Visualization
Spring is a time of awakening, transforming, and cleaning out things that no longer serve us. When I say spring cleaning, the most obvious form is probably clearing out clutter, sorting and giving away clothes that no longer fit, throwing away items, scrubbing and dusting.But what if in the Spring we also make it a habit to clear an important part of our energetic field, and that is relationship cords. You don't necessarily need a specialist to clean and clear your cords that are in relatively good shape. One way to do that is to visualize the many cords that we have inherited over our lifetime, the more years the more people, places, things, and pets we become connected to. For more information about the five types of energy cords, where they attach and their purposes, you can refer back to Episode 33. But for today's session, let's just relax into a comfortable position, close out all distractions and follow along with my voice as I lead you through a simple cord clearing sequence for relationship cords. Follow along with this guided visualization episode to recognize, clean and clear both female and male relationship cords. Relax into the process with ease and flow. Call in the bright essence of who you are! Call in clear, beautiful relationships! Call in clear, beautiful relationship chords.

Energetic Cords
Energetic cords: Energy cords are similar to an umbilical cord that connects mother and baby, but they are usually invisible to the human eye. The more experience I gain within healing sessions, the more variety of energy cords I've been able to encounter, which I'd love to share with you in today's episode...so that you can uncover what energetic cords you might have. Some of you might even want to go a step further and learn to clear and clean them. As with all of my episodes, I'm sharing what I believe to be true from my own experiences. So, thanks for allowing me to speak my truth and to call it in, call it in like I see it!Relationship cords or energetic cords are often light blue, translucent, flexible, hollow hoses, through which our energy flows and this is energy from all the senses. The people and animals who we are connected with flow energy into the tube as we flow energy out from it. Keep in mind that physical distance doesn't matter and neither does the fact that the other person has passed on and is no longer in a physical body. Energetic exchange through these cords can still take place for years, even for centuries. Food for Thought isn't it? If you have started to view your energetic body in the shape of a spider or an octopus with multiple tentacles when I started talking about cords, you certainly aren't the only one. The longer we live the more numerous the cords. In this episode you will discover the 5 common types of cords, how to create a firm foundation for energetic relationship cords, how male and female cords connect to the body and chakras, how to intuitively recognize healthy cords, as well as, what are the distortions that can occur with unhealthy connections. For all that and more, tune into this episode on Energetic Cords at Call IT in with Dar!Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Positivity Visualization
Positivity! This episode applies the positive resonance of high vibrational words. Words that have been researched to resonate between 500 - 700 hertz. To learn more about word resonance, refer back to the previous episode number 31. But for this particular episode close out all tabs, all distractions and find a comfortable position and listen. Relax into the music entitled “Cosmos Anthem'' and let the words flow into your mind like a stream of consciousness. As you fall deeper and deeper into a relaxed state...let the following words become a stream of positive consciousness gently floating in and out of your mind with ease and flow. If any of the words become emotional triggers, just gently note that and recognize the emotion and release it. Let's begin alphabetically... amazement, affirming, appreciation, ascension, abundance, acclaim, achievement... balance, blessing, bliss, bounty... calm, caring, cheerfulness, comfort, consideration, courage, courtesy, and creativity…. The flow of words and the music continue throughout this relaxing visualization. The words applied were taken from Mark Stanton's “List of Positive High Vibrational Words” document. So, call in a positive vocabulary, call in high resonance words, call in positivity and call them into existence. “Call IT in With Dar!” Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

The Resonance of Words
The resonance of words... As an educator, I had always been fascinated with the power of words, and how it could evoke an emotional response in people. It didn't seem to matter whether or not the words were heard directly, or read in print. Then I became even more fascinated, as I immersed myself in a variety of healing modalities, some of which use the power of words, sometimes applied in mantras, chants, meditation, or in positive affirmations, either spoken out loud or inside my mind as the healer. When one of our listeners suggested an episode about the vibration or resonance of words, I happily obliged, and the following episode is the result.Sharon Anne Klinger in her book entitled “Power Words”, states that “every word carries an energy that can be sensed, regardless of whether you're thinking it, speaking it, hearing it or reading it, on the page. A lot of elements impact, a word's energy.” She goes on to say that “the language you use brings forth the life you create.” Which brings us to words used in the “law of attraction”, where you can attract positive energy into your life with high vibrational words. Like love, joy, peace, and enlightenment, for example, resonate at 500 to 700 hertz. This is in contrast to words like shame, guilt, grief, and fear, which resonate from as low as 20, up to 100 hertz. So, comparing 500 to 700, and then 20 to 100.Let's do a quick experiment with this concept. Think of a joyful experience full of love and happiness recreated inside your mind. Tune into how you feel, what emotions arise with that beautiful memory of joy, love and happiness. Now for experimental purposes, let's think of something that we feel guilt or shame around. Did you quickly feel a shift without even replaying that negative experience all the way through? I know I did. I felt a heaviness around my shoulders, the back of my neck, almost like wearing a heavy lead cape, there was definitely a difference for me. So, if we surround ourselves with positive words, we can raise our vibration and resonate at that higher level that helps us feel better. We can follow along with Sharon Ann Klinger’s theory about words being energy, as well as, explore more examples and resources in today’s episode. So, listen in and see the value in using positive affirmations, uplifting words and higher vibrational positive vocabulary!

5D Visualization
What do you think of when I say “living a five-dimensional life”? Does happiness, healthiness, lightness, brightness, peacefulness, abundance, feeling deeply connected spiritually, do all those things come to mind? “Yes!”, 5 D living is about all of those things, as well as, vibrating at a higher level. Today let's set our intention to move into the fifth dimensional space. We'll be diving in by following a guided visualization or meditation. Simply relax, close out all distractions and release all stress and worry by clearing your brain. How do you do that? Well, let's try some concentrated breathing. Get into a comfortable position and breathe in through your mouth... swallowing the sweet essence or the sweet nectar of life. Picture it as sunshine and happiness... lighting up your tongue, your mouth and warming your throat. Feel it slide like sweet honey, down your esophagus into your heart space warming and soothing your entire chest area. Next, breathe out through your nose and imagine all negativity, all toxins, and all debris, being gently removed from your entire body. Again, in through the mouth and swallow the bright, sweet essence of life. Feeling the rich nectar roll down your throat into your heart space behind your ribs and down even further, filling your belly with warm, cheerful sunlight. Now breathe out from your nose, setting a clear intention to release all stress, all worry and all negativity from your entire body. In your mind's eye or imagination see it leave your body and fall like rain down into the earth to be recycled. In your mind's eye...see yourself as a beautiful, bright column of sunlight as the sweet essence of life dwells within you, moving around front to back, left to right. See your personal column reach up to the sky and down into the earth. As your light gets brighter and brighter, think of it as a method of levitation, or your own private elevator system. Feel your body begin to tingle and to vibrate slightly. You're feeling almost weightless. Follow along with this episode’s guided visualization to discover with certainty, that even when you're living in the 3D and 4D struggles of life, you can control moving into fifth dimensional enlightenment. So, call in happiness! Call in peacefulness! Call in healthiness and call in abundance. Call in the possibilities of fifth dimensional living! “Call IT in with Dar”!

5 D Reality
Fifth dimensional reality, what does shifting from three dimension to five-dimension, reality mean? To simplify, three-dimensional reality is the belief that there's nothing that exists outside of what we can see. It's a state of ego self. It's like the old adage, “I'll believe it when I see it” mentality. Then four-dimensional reality is starting to believe that there is “more to life than meets the eye”, that we are spiritual beings... there is more out there... more unseen. Five D reality is not just a belief that there is much more to life than what we can see, but is actually resonating at a higher vibration. For example, if we align with the “Love Tuner”, a sound at 528 hertz, the vibration of love and compassion, one can sample that type of higher vibration. Refer to the show notes for more information on the love tuner, but it is using sound to raise our vibration. The fifth dimension is unconditional love, peacefulness and happiness that resonates at an exceedingly high vibration. What I find extremely interesting is that we were born into the fifth dimension, that we are living basically from birth to about age one in the fifth dimension. But then we forget it. Our parents have integrated us into their 3D reality and in some cases 4 D. Have you noticed children being born right now seem to be very aware, have you looked in the eyes of a newborn lately, there is deep wisdom there. It's like they already know you and know all about you, when they just look into your face. It's amazing. They are existing in that higher vibration. In 5D reality, we know that we are deeply connected. As adults, our self-mastery becomes very focused on fulfilling a purpose that involves serving others. 5 D is about living fully in the present state of “now”. Leaving the past in the past and not worrying about what the future brings. Trusting...it's about accepting all that is and embracing life with all five of your senses. Because your vibration can fluctuate, various activities can cause you to go back into the other dimensions. Learn about these activities to avoid and which things to call in for fifth dimensional living by listening to this episode of “Call IT in with Dar”!Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Chakra Clips Series: Chakra Rainbow Visualization
Chakra is an ancient Sanskrit word, basically meaning wheel. There are thousands of chakras found throughout the body. They're primarily found where the meridians of the body cross the seven chakras (that we've been discussing in the previous “Chakra Clips Series”). They are basically created, where a large number of meridian points cross to form a large wheel. Therefore, creating a chakra, or vortex of colored light, a rainbow inside you so to speak. Each chakra relates to certain traits and characteristics in our life journey... mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. They are the focus of our life force energy, and each vibrates at a specific color frequency. Today's episode is the finale in the “Chakra Clips Series”. Our intention is to apply a color visualization to bring the seven main chakras into harmony for all levels of our well-being. I strongly recommend listening to this recording daily for the enrichment of your energy system.

Chakra Clips Series: Crown Chakra
The Lotus flower can be found growing at the bottom of muddy swamps and streams. Then it blooms with an array of beautiful colored petals above the water's surface, fully grounded in the mulch, and muck of the earth, but beautifully blooming towards the divine... towards the sky. This is a symbol of our crown chakra. The deeper and thicker life's mud, the more beautifully the Lotus blooms. So too it is with us! Metaphysically speaking, we wear the purple or violet Lotus, like a royal crown on the top of our head, a symbol of our resilience and spiritual connection. Today's episode is the seventh in our series of chakra clips, where each week we've discussed a brief overview of the seven main energy centers one at a time. When we nourish our chakras, on a regular basis, we reap the awesome reward of overall well-being and heightened confidence. It is actually simple to clear, clean and balance our chakras by practicing techniques like color visualizations, meditations, sound therapy, gemstones and crystals and other energy healing techniques. All of which I cover in the “Align Your Chakras” course that I'll discuss later. The Crown Chakra is located at the top of your head in the middle of your skull. It's ancient sanskrit name is Sahasrara and it is often referred to as simply the seventh chakra. This chakra resonates with the color violet, the deep purple of a sparkling amethyst gemstone.

When the chakra is clean, clear and balanced it brings in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. It helps make us feel complete and able to shine our light in service to others.

Also, the more messages you'll recognize, in your dream state, and sometimes in your waking state. The third eye connects you to your intuition and your psychic abilities.

Chakra Clips Series: Throat Chakra
Do you speak your truth and say what you mean with confidence? Do you listen to other people as they express themselves? This is the effective ebb and flow of having a clean, clear and balanced throat chakra, whose primary purpose is communication, and creativity. A great example of this is the ancient practice of using a “talking stick”. During a gathering of several people, only one person, the person who holds the stick, tells their story to completion. Everyone else listens without comments or questions until the end when the stick is passed to another speaker. This is a beautiful example of speaking your truth or your story and listening with deep intention. Today's episode is the fifth in our series of chakra clips. When we nourish our chakra system on a regular basis, we are able to reach an amazing sense of well-being in our lives. Doing this is easier than you might think... all it requires is combining your favorite energy techniques, ranging from color visualization, to meditation, to applying gemstones or sound therapy, or vibrational energy healing techniques, like EFT, Reiki, or Healing Touch. Many of those I teach in the Align Your Chakras 30 Day Experience, that I'll talk about later. The throat chakra is located in the center of the throat area, and holds the key to speaking one's divine truth with ease and grace. Its ancient Sanskrit name is Vishuddhi, and is often referred to as the fifth chakra. It resonates with the color blue of a cloudless sky. When balanced, it is all about communication, self-expression, effective listening, as well as, expressing our soul's purpose clearly. On the other hand, when imbalanced... things like stage fright, secretiveness, evasive behavior, shyness and self-righteousness can occur.

As with our opening quote,” when the root chakra is clear, clean and balanced, your material needs are being met, and you flow with physical well-being and stability.” Signs of the opposite... of being imbalanced... are fear, insecurities, low immunity, and some fogginess of thinking or lack of clarity. This chakra resonates with the color of red. So, a great beginning activity is to simply visualize a beautiful apple red ball of light.

Guided 4 Flame Visualization
Today's episode is a guided visualization, or sometimes called a meditation, applying a series of mantras or statements, as well as, the images of various colored candle flames. The four flames guided visualization uses a mantra, or repeating a positive affirmation or statement, which can be a deeply empowering technique, as well as, applying the element of color. The “philosophy of color” was previously discussed in episode nine of this podcast. Let's begin by breathing evenly in a relaxed manner, close out all distractions, clear your mind. Think about only the here and now. Feel your breath coming in through your nose and gently out through your mouth...peace and relaxation. Breathe in calmness...breathe in peacefulness. Let it light up your entire body from head to foot. Then breathe out gently all that no longer serves you... everything you don't need in your life any longer, any toxins, debris, or negativity. Relaxing every part of your body relaxing more and more. Turning your head to the left breathing in any beautiful memories of the past and breathing out any challenges that have presented for you. No need to replay these in your mind. Just let them float in and out. Honoring the past and who it has caused you to be in this present moment. Breathe in the past through your nose. Breathe out through your mouth. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Still turn to the left, in through the nose, out through the mouth, slipping deeper and deeper into a relaxed state. Now let's turn to you right representing the future. Think about your dreams, your goals, your aspirations ... how you picture your best life to be in the future. Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, in through your nose, out through the mouth. Breathing in those dreams and aspirations through your nose. Breathing out any doubts or worries breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth, visualizing the beautiful future sometimes called future casting. Now let's end this series of breathing, facing front in the present moment, breathing in through your nose, in the present moment of here and now. Breathing out through the mouth, any negativity, anything you don't need. In through the nose, out through the mouth, in through the nose, out to the mouth. Relaxing more and more into the present moment... in through the nose, out through the mouth. Let's visualize four candles placed in front of us, in our mind's eye or in our imagination.

Awakening
What does awakening mean to you? Awakening as defined by spiritual teacher and bestselling author Eckart Tolle is actually a “personal or collective challenge that promotes change”. When that happens, we have two choices, we can either turn to deeper, egocentric patterns of negativity and magnify the conflict and the unconscious reactions...or the other choice is we can become more conscious. And we can shift out of reactive mode and out of egocentric patterns to awaken to other possibilities, and positive outcomes of change. By making the personal decision to listen to today's session, you have already made a conscious choice, a conscious choice to awaken and find out more. In this episode, we will clarify some of the assumptions about spiritual awakenings, and discuss a few of the symptoms or clues that people might possibly go through. The story of the “Eagle And The Crow” by Solera provides us with a basic framework on what it's like for the ego to be awakened. In the following story, imagine that you are the eagle in this scenario, the only bird that dares to pack or pester an eagle is the crow. The crow sits on the eagle’s back and bites at his neck. The eagle chooses not to respond nor fight with the crow. It does not spend time or energy on the crow at all. Instead, the eagle just opens his wings and begins to rise higher and higher into the heavens. The higher the flight, the harder it is for the crow to breathe and eventually, the crow falls off due to lack of oxygen. We can learn from the eagle to not fight the crows in our lives and to just keep ascending. They might be irritating, or they might be along for just the ride. But they'll soon fall off as you continue to ascend. Do not allow yourself to succumb to distractions. Keep your focus on the awakening. Keep your focus on the things above you as you continue to rise, says Solera in the lesson of the “Eagle And The Crow.” When we apply Eckart’s definition of awakening to this story, there is a beautiful analogy as the eagle makes a conscious decision to ignore the challenge of the crow and to continue to rise until the problem falls away. Admittedly, awakening means several different things to several different people. In the following episode we will explore a variety of symptoms or clues that accompany the awakening process. So, call in awakening, “Call IT in with Dar” Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Guided Memories Visualization
In my garden is a beautiful memorial plaque that says: “may the heavy sorrow lift and the precious memories linger on”. I love this statement, and I find it comforting. It was my inspiration for today's episode on processing grief and loss with a guided visualization on memories. Let's begin first, with setting a clear intention to reduce emotional and physical pain, feel less loneliness, improve sleep, increase optimism and enhance emotional stability. These benefits are supported by multiple research studies, ranging from fortune 100 corporation’s subjects to Harvard Medical School results. These results were for people who regularly practice guided visualization which makes them very appropriate intentions for us today in this experience. So let's start by closing out all distractions, closing down any open tabs, finding a comfortable position and breathing in and out in a relaxing rhythm with the ebb and flow of life. Continue to relax every part of your body starting at your feet. relaxing your toes, relaxing your arches, relaxing your ankles and your calves. Relaxing both knees, both thighs. Continuing to relax more and more with the music entitled “Ebb and Flow by Kevin MacLeod. Front back, left right up into your hips. Relaxing as you move your focus to your stomach and then your rib cage. Breathing gently in and out with the ebb and flow of life. And up into the chest, across your shoulders. down each arm, down into wrists and hands. Left and right moving it back up into your biceps back up into your shoulders, across your collarbone and into your neck...relaxing your jaw, your cheeks, your ears, your eyes, your eyebrows and your forehead. Front back, left right, feel the calmness throughout your entire body sinking deeper and deeper into the feeling of calmness and relaxation. Breathing in and out with the ebb and flow of Mother Earth. The ebb and flow of life. Now in your mind's eye or imagination, visualize a beautiful cobblestone path stretching out in front of you. With inviting sunlight streaming down in front of you. Begin began to walk this path. Walk until you reach an ornate garden gate and the intricately carved signs reads: “Please Enter - The Reconnection Garden”. Think about that. Think about who or what you would like to reconnect with and who or what you are grieving. As you walk inside, what lives would you like to reconnect with?

Grief & Loss
Wisdom from Winnie the Pooh: “If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever. Remember, you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I’ll always be with you.” Beautiful words of wisdom to take to heart, aren't they? In this episode about grief and loss, we are going to talk about some common emotions or symptoms of loss, and then a few tips and techniques for processing. If you feel that grief has taken over your life, and you are unable to function normally, please reach out and I will connect you with a grief therapist or a support group specifically trained to help you process the feelings of loss. And be aware that sometimes during the holiday, grief can kind of sneak up on us and come around at unexpected times. Grief can arrive in our life in many ways...and loss of a loved one is probably the most common, but it can also be loss of a job, loss of a way of life, loss of a physical relocation, loss of freedom, loss of a relationship, loss of a hobby or a sport that you once enjoyed but now can't...loss of a pet and pretty much loss of anything that has value to you personally. Some commonly felt emotions include anger, sadness, anxiety, avoidance, fear, helplessness, guilt, loneliness, unacceptance, numbness, bitterness, and yearning for life to return to how it was before the loss. Grief can also have physical symptoms, like muscle weaknesses, over sensitivity to noise, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, tightness or heaviness of the chest, and stomach problems. Overall behavior can also be affected with things like frustration, or easily irritated, direct disruptive sleep or insomnia, dreams that are disturbing, feeling isolated and detached from others or even avoidance. When you feel overwhelmed by any of these symptoms, it's important to recognize if. Name it and remind yourself that this is only temporary and that will come and go over time. It is unrealistic to think that we can process grief or cope with loss once and it will go away forever. But it is realistic to believe that we can recognize or acknowledge how we are feeling and use a technique to release the pressure, or even distract you from your pain, emotional or physical. This episode discusses over a dozen possible techniques to call in tranquility and to process grief and loss. So, call in peacefulness, call in tranquility! “Call IT in with Dar”!

Gratitude. Gratitude helps us to see all of what is here instead of what isn't here. Today's episode is a guided visualization, surrendering to the energetic vibration of gratitude to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, boost the immune system, improve sleep, and achieve a higher level of positivity overall. Let's begin by removing any distractions, close any tabs that you have open and find a comfortable position. Then relax into the “wind of the rainforest” music by Kevin Mac Leod. Imagine yourself in this beautiful tropical location surrounded by the relaxing sounds and smells of pure, untouched nature. This is the perfect place at the perfect time to surrender into the moment of now and begin to melt into this peaceful environment. In your imagination or mind's eye, picture the lush green forest around you and feel the light, relaxing breeze. Breathe in vitality and breathe out all negativity and toxins. Again...breathe in vitality and the beautiful environment around you. Breathe out negativity, toxins, and any thoughts that are cluttering your brain. Breathe in. Breathe out gently and easily with the ebb and flow of your environment and Mother Earth. Now place your hands together. palm to palm in a prayer like position. Thumb to thumb and each finger matching a finger. Bring your energy and thoughts consciously into the here and now and the space between your two palms as they come together. Breathe in the present moment in gratitude. Gratefulness for the breath of life. Breathe out all negativity, all toxins, all cluttered thoughts. Breathe in the present moment. Feeling gratitude for the breath of life and breathing out all that no longer serves you. Concentrating on the feeling of your thumbs touching. Thumb to thumb, thumb print to thumbprint we will move through each finger experiencing its corresponding element...ether, air, fire, water, earth, and its acupressure body part...brain, lungs, intestines, kidneys, and the heart relaxing as we go.

Gratitude & Its Benefits
How do you practice gratitude? Have you found a daily ritual or a habit that works well for you? There is no right or wrong way to express gratitude and to be able to reap the many benefits, becoming a magnet for happiness. That is the value in a practice of gratitude. Today's episode is about regular everyday gratitude, not just feeling thankful during a certain time of year, on a specific holiday, or during a specific month. Not just being grateful when things are going extremely well, but also during those tough times, those times of struggle. Why gratitude? Well, based on a current research study by Robert Emmons, grateful people have 10% less stress related illnesses and are overall more physically fit than those who do not practice gratitude. They have more self-reported satisfying relationship relationships, also an average of 12% lower blood pressure. Grateful people give 20% more time and money to their community. They enjoy a 7% longer lifespan, and 7% higher income with 13% fewer arguments. In Emmons’ study of thousands of people, who practice gratitude regularly over a variety of age groups, he found even more similar benefits. He divided these into three categories: Physical, Psychological, and Social...further discussed in this session. This episode also dives into 16 or more gratitude practices that you might want to try to call the energy of gratitude into your life...so call it in! “Call IT in with Dar!” Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Archangel Guided Visualization
Today's episode is an Archangel Guided Visualization with the archangels of the four directions. Before we begin, I'd like to share my personal, probably my most miraculous experience with these angels. The encounter took place a few snowy winters ago, while driving home one night, I was on a backcountry tree lined road in sleet and snow. I was aware of patches of black ice, so I was being extra cautious. But all of a sudden, two deer appeared in my headlights. So, I began to systematically tap, tap, tap on the brakes that you use for icy driving, but was unable to avoid hitting the second deer as it crossed the road. So, my car just flew across the icy road and headed straight for the line of trees. I remember speaking out loud: “angels, please surround me and keep me safe!”. I envisioned additional angels all lined up in front of the line of trees, kind of like tin soldiers. I saw the angels of the 4 directions and visualized those surrounding the car. Then in mid-air, my car turned around, it turned away from the tree line and when it landed, I was in the ditch almost back up on the road. And I was turned around facing the way I had come parallel to the tree line. I'm happy to say the deer made it safely across the road. When the tow truck came, the driver asked ”How did your car ever end up where it is, without leaving any tracks in the snow?” I remember replying... “I guess it was because I was airborne. It seemed like I was in the air for an awful long time!”. He laughed and replied that the deer left some of his hide on the front of my car, but the car appeared to be okay and the deer appeared to still be alive. Anyway, that was one of my most exciting archangel experiences. (Although I have a few others to share at a later date. The following guided visualization will help you become connected to these four main archangels, Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Auriel.

Archangels of the 4 Directions
Today's episode is about the four main or four most well-known Archangels, Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Auriel. There are multiple accounts of this angel hierarchy, in literature, songs, and in various religions around the world. The names and the functions are varied, but being of a higher divine realm remains a constant. Another constant is the belief that Archangels are here to assist us and can see the steps we need to take ahead of time. But we need to ask for their help, because we as humans have free choice. Some people consider angels as a figment of their imagination, mainly because we are trained since childhood, to recognize only what is visible to our physical eye, and therefore deemed rational, or something that quotes:” makes sense”. My favorite personal story about the four main archangels or for the purpose of clarity here, the Archangels of the Four Directions took place a few years ago, when a friend of mine was really worried about her elementary school son walking to school by himself. Every day, day after day, he insisted that he was old enough to walk the few blocks to school. Although it was a seemingly safe neighborhood, there was one relatively busy road to cross and that was what, as a concerned mother she was worried about. So, she always escorted him to that street, safely across and then would let him walk the rest of the way. But each day as he got older, he kept insisting that he was old enough to safely make the trip alone. So finally, his mother privately called on the angels of the four directions for help, without telling anyone, she called in Raphael to walk in front of him, Michael to walk on the right of him, Gabriel to follow behind him, and Auriel to the left of him. Then she let him walk to school on his own to his delight. After secretly repeating this daily for a couple of days, one morning she expressed her continued worry and concern for her son on his walk. And he said, Mommy, “I don't know what you're worried about. I have all these angels around me every single day. It's going to be just fine.” Awesome testimonial from a child, right? Archangels are here to help us not just to be safe and protected, like in this case, but healing mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, and help make decisions for our highest good and communication. To express our soul's truth and share it out others can help us embody and expand our spiritual gifts and manifest what we desire and need in our lives. Every source differs as to what people believe. So, the following information in this podcast is based on my two decades of energy healing experience and personal research in the area.

If so, give the next 20 minutes or so your undivided attention. Putting aside all distractions and getting into a comfortable position. Breathe in and out with the ebb and flow of Mother Earth. Gently and naturally, breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth. As you relax, let your eyelids close gently in through the nose, out through the mouth... in through the nose, out through the mouth. Relaxing deeper and deeper. Feel the divine bright light energy shining down on you like sunshine on the top of your head...relaxing your entire body now from head to toe. Feel it tingle as you fall into deeper and deeper relaxation, feel the energy wrapping around you like a large, comfortable heavy quilt. Feel it around your shoulders, wrapping around your heart. You are thoroughly relaxed and falling into a deep peacefulness. You feel anticipation, for you are about to meet your primary spirit guide. Within the darkness of your mind's eye or your imagination, a beautiful rainbow-colored orb appears in front of you. Like a giant soap bubble catching the light. You realize that this is a gateway to the meeting place. As you confidently walk through the vortex (the bubble) you are relaxed and at peace. Breathe in the sweet change of air.

Spirit Guides
Do you connect with your spirit guides? Today's episode is on the audience selected topic, spirit guides. This is an extremely broad topic. So, for today's purposes, we're going to narrow it down to my personal experience with spirit guides, and five steps to connect with them. My experience begins with the Eastern philosophy, which is the ability for the subtle body of the soul to separate from the physical body during sleep, which is in my case, or in death. Perhaps you've actually experienced this by waking up in the morning, or by waking up at times during the night and it seems to take you a moment or two, to physically move your extremities. That is actually an example of your subtle body, taking a moment or two to align with the physical body after dream state. Anyway, we can all learn to do this… we can all learn to sense the subtle energies around us. So not just our subtle body, but the subtle body of others. Basically, the variety of spirit guides are all subtle energy. So here I want to mention a distinction, that we're not talking about angels, who have never lived on earth in the physical form. When I talk spirit guides, I'm talking about those subtle bodies of energy that have actually been here on this earth before. These subtle bodies are as diverse as the different kinds of human beings we encounter during our life. And I also believe that these subtle bodies, these other people, in their soul form met with you before you came here to be on earth and you made a plan that they were going to watch out for you and help you with various things, to help you in following your life, purpose or path. Although we have a number of guides assisting us, they are not observing everything we do 24 hours a day, they are working on their own wisdom and self-growth. They're in their own soul schooling so to speak. (Truthfully, it would be boring to hang around me all the time. I don't know about you.) There are no tricks or shortcuts in working with your spirit guides. It is called a work because the connection is strengthened over time. If you wish to talk to your guides, it usually takes practice and focus unless you started to talk to your guides from childhood on. Working with our spirit guides is basically a creative process where our subconscious is actually the key. I invite you to listen to this episode where we will talk about how guides communicate and 5 steps to help you develop clearer communication with them. So, call in your personal spirit guides, call them in, “Call It in with Dar “ Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Crystal Prism Guided Visualization
Crystal prisms, what do those words remind you of? To me... I have visions of rainbows bouncing off of every shiny crystal surface. That's what it means to me. Today's episode is a guided visualization with the crystal prism. There are multiple benefits within the power of visualization, like lowering stress, developing greater clarity, increasing productivity, breaking bad habits, becoming more resilient. Some of the more recent studies substantiate a happier life reported by subjects who use visualization regularly. The crystal prism brings out integrity, clear thinking, the body, mind and spirit connection and overall self-awareness. I had the unique privilege of digging crystals in the Ozark Mountains, and a few of them were natural prism shapes, often called generators, made by nature, untouched by human hands until we found them. This visualization applies the crystal prism, explores refracted colors and the various emotions that color can evoke.

“Hue of You!” Psychology of Color
Oscar Wilde once said, “mere color can speak to the soul in 1000 different ways!” Which is what today's episode is about... It's about how colors can speak to us in our emotions, and in the researched psychology of the color. In other words, the “hue of you”! I personally have been interested in the influence, or the psychology of color and its effect on human behavior for years. Back when I was selecting a topic for my Masters of Education Thesis, my first choice was to study how color could influence learning, particularly beginning reading. My advisor discouraged me saying that he “could fill a classroom easily with all the papers that had been written about color theory.” So needless to say, I picked another topic. Color continued to fascinate me and I thought it was my artist “eye” but when I added energy healing to my interest in color, my fascination grew even more, expanding it to aura colors, chakra colors, chromanology, healing, and colored light rays, all of which we will probably address in additional episodes of this podcast. However, in today’s episode, it's the emotions that we're going to talk about. Let's zero in on the emotions evoked by one specific color, a color that you personally identify with and that is what we will call the “hue of you”. A great way to begin is how we actually sometimes begin with children, when we ask them “what is your favorite color”? But perhaps you don't think that you have a preference of color, then look at the color that presents itself the most in your clothing. That is probably your foundational or core hue. For example, as I was growing up, my color was pink. But it changed to teal as I reached adulthood. The positive aspects of pink are friendship, romance, and nurturing. The weaker aspects of pink are silly, needy, and immature. So, to me that makes perfect sense. I pretty much grew out of pink as my core color, although I still like it. When I moved on to teal or turquoise as my main preference, the positive characteristics of turquoise (take note if that's anyone else's favorite color) is healing, understanding, emotional protection, and health. I definitely resonate with all of those. Its less positive emotions are impractical, and idealistic. I can probably be called that as well sometimes. So as my hue, I can identify with turquoise or teal as being my core color, psychologically speaking. In this episode we travel through various colors and their emotional traits, as well as, their common healing traits so that you can discover the “hue of you”! So, call in color! Call it in with Dar!

Spiral Guided Visualization
This episode is a spiral guided visualization. The spiral similar to that, which you see on the shell of a snail, is very rich in symbolic meaning. It radiates optimistically, out from its center, ever expanding, full of endless possibilities. It has a three-dimensional quality that speaks of a journey in time from past to future, stimulating curiosity of what might come next in life. Spiral motifs appear all over the world, from Neolithic caves, to carvings on Paleolithic goddesses, to Celtic stone carvings, to Hindu serpents representing Kundalini energy, to the African symbol of the sun, to the Tibetan symbol of potential power and energy in a clockwise direction, following the path of the sun. It is this energetic symbol of the spiral that we will work with in today's episode. Using the spiral as a symbol of positive energy, our intention is to release toxins and negativity as we enter into the spiral and release more and more deeper layers of negativity all along until we reach the center of the core vortex of positivity, where abundance is available to us and multiple possibilities reside!

Embrace Positivity
“A negative mind will never give you a positive life”. Author Unknown. Today's episode is about embracing positivity and taking specific steps to bring positive energy into our lives To be clear, positive thinking does not mean that you keep your “head in the clouds”, or “wear blinders” or even put on “rose colored glasses”, as some of these old adages profess, but rather that you approach unpleasantness in a productive way with more creative thinking. Considering more about what is the best outcome possible, a possibility thinker, so to speak. Anyone can learn to embrace positivity with time and practice. As with any new habit, it starts with one small area of your life that you tend to think negatively about. Is it work? Is it relationships? Is it money? Is it your neighborhood or is it restrictions that you put on yourself perhaps, like self-criticism? In this episode we begin with just one of these adjustments and give it a new approach or a new self-talk script with 4 clear steps. We will also look at 42 other ideas for turning your Positive Thinking Light Bulb up higher to call in the energy of positivity and embrace positivity in your life!
