Individuation, Energy and Healing, Episode 22

Unbound Allegiance: Finding Freedom in a Truth of Your Own, Part 3. In today's episode I talk about Carl Jung's definition of becoming whole, Individuation or becoming the best version of your Self. I love to talk about energy because it was so pivotal to my awakening, and the concept of our thoughts being electrical impulses caused me to shift my consciousness. I refer to Dr. Joe Dispenza's research on how our personalities are formed, how the "shadow" and the pain-body are very similar ideas. I share how I absorbed unconscious negative emotion from my mother when I was in her stomach, and how that caused issues in my health as an infant. This episode is full of good information to expand your awareness and evolve you, and if you want more you can pick up my book on Amazon. Thanks for listening, sharing and leaving a review. XO and Namaste, Amy

Taking the Red Pill, Recording from August 2017, Episode 8

Taking the Red Pill, Recording from August 2017, Episode 8

This was an episode I recorded for my VLOG and decided not to air, in fact, it has taken me nearly 18-months to publish it because it is a very sensitive subject and it took me a while to "come out" of the closet, so to speak.  I share my raw feelings about the year we had in DC, the beginnings of my awakening and thoughts about it. I am calling the episode "Taking the Red Pill" moment as in the Matrix, because that is how it feels to me. It is the moment when I decided that I would evolve and not stay stuck. I hope this is helpful for you to listen to.  Find more about me on Instagram @Amy_Kunkle_creative or at www.amykunkle.com.
