Aquarius New Moon – February 4, 2019

In lieu of a new Naked Songwriter podcast, I took advantage of the opportunity this weekend to work with my favorite video co-presenter, the lovely and talented Miss Roya Pearl.

In this live stream we break down the energy of the February 4, 2019, Aquarius New Moon, which kicks off Chinese New Year and coincides with Imbolc, the first cross-quarter day of the pagan Nature calendar. So, there’s a lot of power here!

We talk about the New Moon happening conjunct Mercury and conjunct Black Moon Lilith and how you can work with Lilith to access the very positive potential of this lunation. We discuss the positive aspects from the Aquarius New Moon to Jupiter in Sagittarius and Mars in Aries.

We discuss why you’ve been feeling crazy / stuck / like you’re running in place and how that is going to change once we get past this New Moon.

Plus we do an a capella rendition of “Warriors” (the theme song from the reboot of “She-Ra: Princesses of Power”) and acoustic covers of Simon and Garfunkel, the Ramones and Buffalo Springfield.

Unlock Your Jupiter Potential in 2019 with EFT and Meditation

December 2018 Astrology: Use Mercury Direct to Expand Jupiter’s Good Fortune

fractal JupiterOn this show, Cathryn Taylor and I discuss the key things you need to understand about the December 2018 astrology transits. Plus Cathryn shares a powerful guided meditation to visualize the last twelve years (the previous Jupiter cycle) as a conveyor belt leading to your inevitable prosperity in the new Jupiter cycle.

The show ends with Cathryn leading me through a special EFT (tapping) sequence. You can tap along with me as we accept and integrate the grief, anxiety, and loss that always accompany our evolutionary leaps to higher levels of consciousness.  This is one of the best tapping sequences I’ve ever done with Cathryn – and that’s saying something because this woman is one of the pioneers of the inner child movement and of using tapping to heal the wounded inner child.

Even though we’re a third of the way through December, I really want to encourage you to listen to this show. In fact, I’m holding off on the next Naked Songwriter podcast because I feel Cathryn and I caught lightning in a bottle on this show and I want you to benefit from it!

Women’s Voices in a Time of Darkness – The Naked Songwriter Podcast #33

DK Brainard podcast, Venus retrograde 2018My friend Tamara Star joins me for a passionate conversation about women’s voices and the fall-out from the recent Supreme Court nomination battle.

I tell the story of my “Brett Kavanaugh moment” and what I learned about toxic shame. We discuss the healing that can happen when women reclaim their voices and tell their stories. Plus, why empaths are waking up afraid or depressed in the morning, the power of ritual, and what happens when we don’t stuff our anger.

“Love will never leave us alone
In the darkness must come out the light
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive…
Stay alive”

Why the end of scarcity on Planet Earth can happen within 5-10 years and what you can do to make that a reality.

The End of Scarcity and the Return of the Bird Tribes - Naked Songwriter podcast #31

We all know that imagination is stronger than willpower and that, among the mental powers, only imagination is capable of creating new forms and experiences. So why do we continue to focus on the list of problems and obstacles we supposedly must overcome to get what we want? Why don’t we focus instead on the list that holds our heart’s desires?

Why would our governments lie about free energy and alien technologies? Why would we consider bringing about the end of scarcity in our lifetimes such a crazy idea that we — the artists, visionaries, meditators, yogis, and healers — don’t even discuss it?

I discovered intriguing answers to these questions in two strangely resonant mythologies: the ancient Native American ‘bird tribes’ and the modern phenomenon of UFOs and an alien-influenced shadow government. Continue reading →
