Episode 13: Intuition — Is It Practical Magic?

Can a coffee date turn into a mechanic's bill? Can flow feel like flying through a mountainside? In this episode, we're getting into intuition, and whether it's practical magic or just paying attention (maybe both?!).

We start with a solo coffee date that somehow ended in car repairs, and what that says about following the nudge even when it doesn't make logical sense. From there we get into flow states, that strange, expansive feeling of moving through the world like the road is opening up for you.

We also talk about joy. Not the performative kind, the kind that actually lives in your body. Joy can feel overwhelming if you haven't practised holding it, which is its own kind of work. As Gang of Youths remind us, the heart is a muscle, and it takes training to make it strong.

This is Science. Holding. Flow. in practice, and it's the same intuition I lean on in every Reiki session. Intuition isn't separate from energy work. It's how I read the energy in a room, in a body, in a Distance Reiki session across the miles. Learning to trust that pull is part of what Reiki teaches you, whether you're the one giving it or receiving it.

If this episode has you curious about your own intuition and how energy moves through you, a Reiki session is a beautiful place to explore it. Whether you're in Calgary or joining me for Distance Reiki from anywhere, this is energy work that meets you where you are.

Tending the ember, honouring the echo.

Ready to explore your own energy? Book a Reiki or Distance Reiki session with Ember 'n Echo in Calgary, and start learning the language your intuition's already speaking.

Episode 11! We continue the the real-life long-distance love that began across continents. I left you at the airport, now I take you through the nitty gritty, the final struggles before (and during) the plane to Calgary. There are some neat moments of intuition and energy resonance (read: shared panic attacks) that continued to affirm this was the way.

This is Part 2 of "Love is... Long Distance," and it's less about the surreal circumstances that started it, and more about what it actually takes to follow intuition once it's spoken. The unwavering knowing in my gut and nervous system that this was it. This was worth the risk.

Welcome to the Calgary end of the story — the place I kept returning to, year after year, with the intuitive knowledge that this was where I was meant to be. Turns out Calgary held my heart in more ways than I realized! This city full of Energy was like a magnet to me in so many ways.

If you've ever felt an inexplicable pull toward a person, a place, or a decision that made no logical sense on paper, this episode is for you. It's an invitation to notice your own intuition, to pay attention to what energy is asking of you, and to trust that quiet knowing — even when the timezones, the rules, and the circumstances say it shouldn't work.

Grab your headphones. This one's a Calgary story, an intuition story, and an energy story, all at once — and it's still, somehow, a love story too.

Your intuition is a skill, not a mystery — and it can be taught. If this episode made you curious about your own inner nudges, let's work on it together. Book a session at Ember 'n Echo and start learning the language your body's already speaking.

Episode 10! Love is... Long Distance (Part 1) . A real life Love Story that spans continents and timezones. All the lessons, nudges and inklings in my love life led me to have a surreal set of circumstances to the beginning of this relationship.

This is a "sit back and let me tell you a story" kind of episode. Grab your headphones, go for a walk, or let me join you while you do the dishes or drive the car and I'll give you the first instalment of this (real life) tale.

Note that this took place during C*vid, so it gets mentioned for context. It was a very specific set of societal rules that played a significant role.

I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already.

Glad to have you along and look forward to sharing the Embers of experience together through the Echos of time and space!

Episode 9! The Wandering Nerve. It's a gooder. There is so much internet intel around dysregulation... I wondered if we could get practical for a moment (and perhaps a bit nerdy) and follow the path of the Vagus nerve IN YOUR BODY! Wild! From the Conceptual into Present time and space.

Let's take a look at how our meat suits know stuff. The biofeedback that's constantly happening without us even paying attention... And then when you start paying attention what might show up and what you can do about it (or not). ** During this episode I reference HRV Status on my Garmin - which stands for Heart Rate Variable... My accent makes it a bit tough to decipher what acronym I said.

One question though... do all things lead back to a Grey's Anatomy episode or is it just me? Ha!

I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already.

Episode 8! In a continuation of nerding out on some science theory, this week we take a look at the TTM (Transtheoratical Model) of Stages of Motivational Change. By understanding where you may sit in any given situation, it might help open some doors or windows into why and what you actually want to do about it (if anything).

We build a bit more on last week's gate theory and ponder with gentle curiosity. The TTM might begin to show itself in different ways as you move through life now you know about it. From family members to colleagues, to signing up for a new subscription or booking an appointment. Where are you and where might they be in this motivational process? Is this an opportunity to save some of that life energy or is this going to light you up?! A conversation that simply gives more choices via reflection.

I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already.

Episode 7! This is where you see my nerdy side. For the love of all things anatomy; yet another facet where 'being human' and science meet.

I do love a theory, I love it even more when it makes sense and has practical application. Gate theory can be seen innately in how we respond to something as mundane as stubbing your toe. It can be practiced in so many areas of life, from giving birth to pain management (big or small) across both the physiological and emotional responses. Aren't human's amazing? Even more so when we know what works for us.

I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already.

Episode 6! Oh man, how I wanted to fast forward through the tough stuff and turns out I wanted to fast forward through stillness too! Taking a lighter look at how confronting 'stillness' can be, especially when you'd rather just get it done and be on the other side reaping the rewards already. Today we give ourselves permission to laugh at some of the ways we approach our patterns.
