190. Kashmir Shaivism – The Heart of Classical Tantra with Tova Olsson

Blessed new year and 2024 to all of you, I hope that this year brings us peace, love and health. I decided that the first episode would focus on healing messages, practices and guidance for the new year and I pulled four cards that we can focus on for each quarter of the year from now until the equinox, to the solstice, to the second equinox and then to the last solstice. This is available as a podcast and a video if you would like to see the cards that I pulled from my Law of Positivism Healing Oracle.

This week’s podcast guest is Françoise Molenaar who is a meditation teacher and shaman who specialises in fertility and pregnancy loss. As an award-winning political scientist and conflict researcher, she used to travel the world to study and advice on how communities can increase their resilience in the face of violent conflict and extremism. But as her own fertility journey progressed along the way, she felt an increasing need to embrace a softer, more feminine side of herself that would bring back balance and joy in everyday life. She now guides other women on their fertility journeys as a 1-on-1 coach, a women’s group facilitator, and podcast host.  She is offering a free Winter Fertility Retreat starting 1 January 2024 to support women on the fertility journey and conception.

As we have entered the season of going within and healing, and are experiencing the deep transformations as a collective, I wanted to offer something that has really helped me with getting through these times through deep rest and healing meditation.  Guided meditations are very easy ways of starting your meditation practice, even if you have never tried it. Even for more experienced meditators, guided meditations and relaxation provide your body and mind to go into deep states of conscious rest, to help you connect to your deepest essence and core. This guided meditation is available on all podcast apps, Spotify and YouTube. I would love to hear what your experiences are so please share them with me

This week’s episode guest is Emma Howarth, author and astrologer, on a mission to help you find magic right where you are. Because living a spiritually connected life doesn’t have to look like it does on Instagram. And we don’t all have the time, funds or freedom to escape reality on a quest for inner peace. As a mystical guide with a day job, thought-leader on the school run and astrologer/tarot reader who’s had it up to here with the mental load, Emma knows that finding small ways to make life feel magical is the first step on a journey that will change your life. A journey she’s walking right alongside you because we’re better together. In this episode we speak about Emma’s new Astrology Almanac 2024 and she shares about the upcoming Virgo Season and the upcoming astrology insights.  Pre-order Emma’s Astrology Almanac: https://www.emmahowarth.com/preordercompetition  Visit Emma: https://www.emmahowarth.com/  Emma’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/emmahowarthwrites/  My new Healing Oracle card deck: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/healingoracle.html Visit Law of Positivism: https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/ Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivism

This week, for the very first time, I have two guests on, Ishtar and Valeria. Valeria is a change advocate, healer, Akashic Records teacher, community builder, motivational speaker and conscious-living ambassador. Ishtar Bäcklund Dakhil, is an illustrator and visual artist from Sweden. She spends her time travelling the world, working with both self driven artistic projects within local communities as well as working  commercially with clients.     After not fitting in most of her life and dealing with self-destructive behaviours, Valeria started the healing journey that would change her life forever. In 2010 she co-founded Longboard Girls Crew, the now biggest community in the action sports industry that empowers girls and women in more than 60 countries. She’s now devoted to her non-profit Longboard Women United, helping hundreds of girls and women in extremely unprivileged areas around the world. Ishtar’s creative explorations of the picture book format has led her to new & innovative ways of inviting readers into the reading experience, through interaction via VR techniques. The interplay between analog & digital design is a form that she recurrently works with. Ishtar’s interest in personal narratives & themes of cultural belonging has also led her to further investigate innovative educational methods to share tools within visual storytelling. Through her process based workshops format titled “The Place that Hurts & Glitters” she explores and facilitates creative ways to recreate and work around personal narratives through visual communication.    Valeria exposes the system and advocates for change in her many talks and conferences, including two TEDx Talks. Through her 1:1 sessions, mentoring, workshops, group channelings, newsletter and guided meditations she helps people heal, thrive and align to their soul purpose.   In Valeria’s own words: “In a system pushing us to live in fear, living in Love is a revolutionary act. The time is now. We were born to anchor and expand the new frequencies to manifest the new earth and we can only do it together”. She lives in the mountains near Esporles, in Mallorca. In this episode we cover the following topics: - The Akashic records - The descent and ascent of goddess Inanna / Ishtar - Atlantis and Lemuria - Remembrance beyond time and space - Healing work through descending My new Healing Oracle card deck: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/healingoracle.html Visit Law of Positivism: https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/ Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivism Visit Valeria: https://www.instagram.com/valeriakechichian/ https://linktr.ee/valeriakechichian/ Visit Ishtar: https://www.instagram.com/ishtiish/ https://ishtarbacklund.art/
