“Cultural Appropriation... Classically it can be applied to Tantra. Tantra is an incredible tool, an incredible technology to unlock the power that’s hidden within you & you do that through several different yogic practices: Sadhana, mantras, yantra and meditation, movement; several different things that can invoke this power - this energy to rise up so that you’re fully conscious of who you are and your purpose here on this earth. That’s basically what Tantra is all about but, you know, cultural appropriation and the western indoctrination... The power has been so related to your sexual power, because a lot of times when we feel this energy moving within us, it does move into these spaces that are sexual: your womb space, your yoni, all these different parts within you: your Svashisthana (or sacral) chakra which is responsible for creation and creativity. So what has happened that this energy has been mistaken for sexual acts, sexual practices and sacred sexuality. Nothing is wrong with that - but that’s cultural appropriation to the T. Like you’ve taken just what is sacred and applied it to just have good sex or to get great orgasms or sometimes it’s even shameful in saying that you know, ‘this has helped me reach to different levels of consciousness and have great sex with different sex partners.’ I think that’s so ignorant. If you just type tantra in google, all you’re going to be graced with is tantric sex and different sexual stuff and that really embarrasses me because first of all, you’re completely disregarding such a powerful technology to awaken into yourself by degrading something so sacred to a sexual act which is completely different to sexuality and sexual energy and the sexual power and the creation force because you wanna have great orgasms.” -Luchele Mendes (@wildtantrika) In this conversation, we discuss: 🌺Foraging and herbalism 🌺Honoring the cycles of the earth 🌺Colonialism 🌺Cultural Appropriation 🌺Tantra 🌺Sexuality 🌺Soulmates 🌺Deepening relationships through understanding our sexuality 🌺True Love 🌺Spiritual superiority 🌺and so much more...

“But I think the perfect time will never arrive so if you feel that it’s your time, it’s your call; just do it. I mean, actually we have a bunch of friends who became nomads during these times. That’s what covid taught a lot of our friends; that “hey, I can live and work remotely because I don’t have to go to the office anymore. And then they realize I can live a digital nomad life — why work from home if I can work from anywhere?” I think it’s so hard to put it just in one sentence but I think if you’ve ever thought about it, then do it. There is nothing to lose. I mean seriously, we were all taught to follow a certain path but life is much more than that. Life is waiting for us to create something; to do something, you know. So, go there, create it, do it. Create the life of your dreams because it is possible. Life is much more than we were taught it is so I think if you have the call, just do it because life is waiting for you to do it. That is really our mission. Our mission is really to let people know that you can live the life you want so live the life you want. The path you have now is not the only path you can have so live the life that you want. Write down what you want, and then do it.” - Fran & Marco @maptheunknown @nomadjournal Ahh, it was so much fun having Fran & Marco on for today’s episode of Highly Spiritual ✨ They share with us: ✨their signs ✨how they met and began traveling together ✨how they overcome obstacles ✨tools that help them deal with uncertainty ✨about their awesome app @nomadjournalapp 📓 ✨their top 2 destinations ✨their take on where earthlings come from and spirituality ✨and so much more 🌞 Thank you to this inspiring gemini duo for such a fun and insightful conversation!

“In the recent months and years, suddenly the people are changing. We’re really upgrading our systems to a higher frequency with whatever is happening so even if there is so much chaos and turmoil out in the news, we’re still alive - we’re still breathing; you know the world hasn’t fallen on our heads so we do our best to take care of our heath, we take charge of our lives because we have the power. You know, we’re so powerful; beyond what we know so there are still tools out there. And even if you’re on lock down, you have this inner world that you have access to, so it’s really a coming inward and becoming the best version of yourself.” - Monica Eleazar-Manzano Happy Virgo New Moon! ♍️ For today, we have the perfect guest with a Virgo stellium sharing with us and embodying the Virgo essence in all its beauty. 🌱 Monica shares with us: 🍃her favorite Virgo traits 🍃her journey and how she moved to the island 🍃how she in schools her children as she adds in some of the Waldorf method (which she explains as well) 🍃 we also get to chat with her little girl! 💚 🍃her birthing story and the effects that home birthing has had on her 🍃 some beautiful tips for mothers and parents through the formative years of children’s lives 🍃so so much more magick and wisdom 🌞 Thank you for everyone that joined us live and whenever you’re watching this, may it serve you & may it guide you.

On this episode of Highly Spiritual, I am joined by my fellow fae who I have the honor of leading monthly New Moon Circles with: Thea Lizardo and Princess Manzon. Through this episode, you'll hear us speak about the self (our ego) and the Self, timelines , perspectives, wounds coming up to the surface with Chiron retrograde in Aries, money as energy, technology, and lots more including the "Lion's Gate Portal," which falls on the same day as the Leo New Moon on 8/8/21. 🌞 There are lots of energies in the ether this month, it's a busy month for the cosmos. Of course it all takes place during Leo Season because we're being reminded that no matter what goes on outside, we have our inner light as our compass. We're being reminded to attune to our authenticity and creativity - to joy and expression instead of things that make us feel depleted. 🌻 How have these energies got you feeling? Join the conversation by emailing us or through Instagram. 🧚‍♀️ @mataphilippines @mayacacaomagic @starrystarryvibes / [email protected]

"Animals definitely have a shadow but they don’t have an ego like humans do which is why they’re some of my favorite physical spiritual teachers. Because yes, seeing them and doing their shadow work, we can align with that but we don’t need to take in the ego side of it. We can learn to untame ourselves. We can learn so much about community, so much about courage, strength; so much about love, safety, connection in the most quintessential, primal essence of what we’ve all once lived through and… we often forget we were animals first. That’s where we all came from. So really, as we continue to decondition and come back to our pure wild, yes, using animals as those teachers and our guides, they are so so overlooked so I’m trying to call back the importance to saying ‘hey, we literally have so many walking incarnations of Spirit that we ignore, dismiss, label; you know, we’re labelling Spirit Guides as they walk this earth — it’s crazy. So yeah, just seeing them in their pure potential of these great ascended masters and/or new souls we can work with as well, for sure.” - Briona Welcome back to Highly Spiritual! 🌹 Today, we had a beautiful lightworker share with us her magick of connecting with our animal guides ✨ Briona helps us understand what Animal Alchemy is, how to invoke animal wisdom and how to work with animal medicine. She also shared about the Akashic Records and how sometimes, we don’t really need a question - all we need is to have an open line of communication with Source 🧚🏼‍♀️

Ahhh, this was such a heartwarming and heart opening episode of Highly Spiritual ~ thank you Charmaine for sharing your wisdom and your perspectives ✨✨✨ We chat about how astrology ties in to the times and embodied astrology. Charmaine shares with us her story and how she began Breathing with Purpose and the beautiful moment that changed it all. We talk feelings, emotions, flow state, how to surrender when you wanna be doing all the things, how the key is self-compassion and so much more. 🌞 I also shared a story about the conversation I had with the sun this morning. Quite mind blowing to be honest! 🌸💥💛

This is a super insightful, grounding and love-filled conversation on how to communicate with animals. 🌈 Safi shares with us how we can communicate with our own pets and other animals that we’d like to learn more from. At the root of it is love and the mechanism is telepathy. Sounds too woo? Try it for yourself! I’m about to too! Gonna go chat with those birds that I asked Safi about 🕊🦜🦚 Included here towards the end is also a short grounding meditation to get you to the state of being and complete presence so that you’re able to be on the same page as the earthlings you’d like to communicate with 🌸✨ To connect with her, check her out in Instagram: @safitalkstoanimals 🌼 #nature #animals #talkingtoanimals #animallovers #cockatoolove #communicate #telepathy #wavelength #channel #magick #meditation #love #spiritual #spirituality #spiritualgrowth #comebackhome #pets #dog #cat

"Spirituality to me a lifestyle and a quest at the same time, and it is also our birthright. We are spiritual beings and I truly believe that everyone, even the most atheist person in this planet, is spiritual. He just chooses to direct his spirituality to let’s say music or his family. For me it is all about what we choose for our spirituality to be about." - Fatii What a beautiful and insightful chat with @livingsimplyy. She shares about Astrology, how she got into it, living in Paris, and her Moroccan heritage. We definitely went into a few different tangents but all for the best 😉 We hope you enjoy watching this episode as much as we enjoyed recorded it.

"I think understanding context is important in all situations. I feel like once we develop that, then we can step back and think about it really and try to get to the bottom of the truth, we realize more that eventually, we just wanna be kind and gracious. We don't wanna hold grudges. I'm the type of person who will always say that it's good to have a chip on your shoulder - but the chip on your shoulder should be internal. It shouldn't come externally." - Navs Ganglani I love LOVE ❤️ On the Valentine’s special episode of Highly Spiritual, I had my fiancé Navs Ganglani on ❤️ We chat a little bit about Love, not just from a romantic perspective but from a general overall perspective. It is the highest universal frequency after all. 🌹 He defines love in his own words and shares 3 things that he’d deem necessary on a relationship guide. Then we both shared 3 things to remember through the more difficult times and ways that may help get through them. He also shares how he feels we can increase Love on the planet through a shift in Perspective 🖤 Check it out to also hear his refreshing perspective behind Valentine’s Day 💫 We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed having it! Happy Valentine’s Day, dear earthlings ✨ And you, @navsganglani, I love you. Thank you for showing me love in its truest, rawest, most beautiful form 🦋 P.S.
