Through a moving channeled moment connecting Shayana with her grandmother Aviva, Farah illuminates the ancestral thread of intuition running through Shayana’s lineage — and the invitation to carry it forward in her own way.From there, the conversation deepens into the nature of emotions as external energies, the spiritual framework behind clearing and forgiveness, the fine line between psychological crisis and spiritual emergence, and what it means to reclaim power rooted in love rather than ego. They close with a reflection on the Kabbalistic Tarot cards on Shayana’s wall — and why aspiration toward the divine is what makes authentic power possible.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:* Shayana’s background spanning finance, yoga, Chinese medicine, Reiki, and integral yoga* How a liver surgery in 2012 redirected her relationship with medicine and self-healing* A channeled connection with her grandmother Aviva — and the ancestral wisdom she carries* Growing up in a Jewish household and eventually finding her own direct relationship with the divine* Why she walked away from building a wellness business to pursue a PhD in esotericism and religious studies* The distinction between feelings (internal) and emotions (external energies that attach to us)* A personal clearing protocol rooted in acknowledgment, forgiveness, and release* The tension between psychology and spiritual emergence — and why discernment matters* Tikkun Olam and the Kabbalistic principle of elevating the world through individual action* Teshuva — the principle of return, and how even darkness can be brought to the light* The concept of being, becoming, and doing as a spiritual trinity* Closing reflections on the Leo, Libra, and Sagittarius Euphra cards: aspiration, balance, and power rooted in loveNotable Moments:* Shayana describes illness as initiation — how witnessing her own healing deepened her self-knowledge* Farah channels Aviva and the image of a sacred book, a child in synagogue, and olive branches — a beautiful moment of ancestral acknowledgment* Shayana reflects on “peeling the onion” back to the soul — and how it led her to rediscover the child she once was* “You are the pen, you are the sound” — on becoming the instrument of the divine in action* Shayana shares her protocol for working with stuck emotion: acknowledge, feel, forgive, release* Farah offers the concept of “Velcro” — why what attaches to us reflects something we’re already holding* A candid discussion of how society pathologizes the multidimensional experience — and what an alternative path can look like* The closing card reading: “Power that comes from love makes it impossible to do bad things”About the Guest:Shayana is a holistic practitioner and researcher integrating Reiki, yoga, Qigong, Taoist bodywork, and the wisdom traditions of Kabbalah and integral yoga.
