Greetings from Wonder Valley in the desert. I recorded this episode while sitting on a porch watching the sun rise in one of my favourite places, you guessed it, the desert. In total Topanga Moon style I had to share my experience from my solo adventure to the desert and share how my soul felt returning to this special place. This time I stayed in 29 palms at a classic homestead with a cowboy tub. The cowboy tub was filled with natural hot spring water that runs to the area so it was a truly nourishing experience. I pretty much stayed in that tub the entire trip, drinking wine, listening to country tunes and watching the stars - pure bliss. I also share about my sister's gorgeous California wedding, the experiences we had and most importantly the lessons I learned about real alchemy. This episode is equal parts travel tales and soulful observations about the universe. Grab your favourite beverage and join me by the cowboy tub in Wonder Valley!airbnb rental: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/43507135?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=e7771b47-fce5-4be3-849f-1e56c1c39881Summer meditations 50% off until the fall equinox! https://www.topangamoon.com/shop/summer-meditations-new-moon-sunrise-and-moonlight-manifestationSend a note, have a cool alien story or have a podcast guest idea I would love to hear from you! ana@topangamoon.com @topanga_moon

Do you love lunar astrology and blooms as much as I do?! Then this is definitely the cosmic episode for you. I had the honour of interviewing my dear friend Vanja of astrobloom to talk all things astrology and specifically the magic and importance of our moon sign. What I love about her work is that she focuses on the moon sign as the portal of transformation, as the moon sign is our shadow and inner world and what we do to our inner world we will see reflected in our outer world, just like the moon reflects the light of the sun. She discusses her lunar astrology readings and how this beautiful practice came into her life. Vanja also shares about her love and design expression through flowers, how the flowers came before the astrology yet compliment the work, especially when we look at Astroherbology! She shares the essence behind astroherbology and how astrology and herbalism come together in a cosmic and healing way. Vanja also shares about her upbringing and roots in Eastern Europe and our shared connection of a lineage from Croatia and Bosnia. Through this connection we talk about our love of nature and the healing properties of the sea and also how our experience in the culture was instrumental in our upbringing and ultimately what guided us both back to the land and the reverence for the natural landscape of the region. Vanja dives into the astrology for the upcoming months and the major astrological events we should all take note of such as this upcoming full moon! She also shares her love of tea and how she formulated her incredible zodiac specific tea blends. Vanja shares the process of finding the herbs related to each sign and which one best support each sign through the fusion and practice of tea. We also dive into our love of water and the rituals she has created in her life to support her Pisces moon through her ritual baths. Vanja also shares some insights into my sun and moon in Gemini and what is means to have the same sign in both your sun and moon.This episode dives into the importance and our shared love of the moon and how the moon affects us on an energetic and physical way and how we can be supported by the moon. You will learn so much about lunar astrology and Vanja's journey through the knowledge of this astrology in this episode. I loved this conversation and having an in person interview in Vanja's gorgeous backyard oasis filled with blooms, lace curtains blowing in the wind, cosmic chats and lunar tea!Vanja is offering the Topanga Moon community 15% off Lunar Astrology Readings on her website: astrobloom.ca with the discount code: TOPANGAMOONYou can find more about Vanja and her offerings on: https://astrobloom.ca/ and @astrobloom.caAnd you can connect with me over on: https://www.topangamoon.com/ and @topanga_moon @anaalicSending you all lunar blessings! xo

New Moon in Leo Meditation

With so many different energetics this month, all the sun energy and access to so much information I have been finding ways to connect to my intuition and become very intentional about my intuitive rituals! I thought this was an amazing topic to share and bring you the 5 ways I like to connect to my intuition when things are feeling a little stuck. I share at the beginning of the episode why I decided to delete my last week's episode (I share many of the same things on this week’s episode so you won’t be missing out!) and how important it is to hold on to integrity when creating content. Especially in this podcast space where words hold so much meaning and power, being intentional with sharing and words are so important to me. This also really came back to intuition and feeling like I was connecting too much to other peoples stories and wanting to really anchor myself back to myself and my own inner guidance. I share the importance of listening to your own internal guidance system and the ways I have found it shows up for me. The 5 ways I connect to intuition are: food, water, human design strategy, asking for signs, and spending time in nature. I give examples of each and go deep into why these practices are so useful for me and how they can serve you as well!I also talk about the mission here at Topanga Moon and how we are here to hold space for you to find you own path to connecting to the cosmic world. I dive into what that means and how that shows up in everything we create. I share an example from the plant world and how plants are always connecting and communicating with the cosmos and how the cosmos are always communicating with the plant world.At the end of the episode I share my current summer love list, the things that are lighting me up and what I am loving right now!!! It’s a fun exploration and I would love to hear what you are loving this summer too. Some things I mention on the love list are: little buddhas, soundfood podcast and the new Topanga Moon bracelets.I would love to hear from the community and you can always send me a note here: ana@topangamoon.com or connect with the website and instagram: www.topangamoon.com @topanga_moonYou can always connect with me and check out my styling and photography here: @anaalicSending you all moon blessings!

Ep. 71 5 ways to connect back to intuition and summer love list!

What is the witch wound? It's from lifetimes of being injured, tortured and killed for speaking truths about nature, healing herbs and communing with the energies of the universe. Reclaiming the word witch and embodying the divine feminine energy. We know the pains these women and some men experienced but to alchemize that now as we learn more about herbalism, how to heal our bodies with nature, finding light and love in any situation. In this episode I share all the ways we can heal the witch wound, how it shows up in my life and how I alchemize it. I share some of the history of witch trials in Zagreb, Croatia from my own lineage. I dive into the story of Barica Cindek who was an established baker, accused of being a witch and having to go through trials, how she stood up for herself and how that ultimately ended her life. I also share how her story was the inspiration for the prolific and first female journalist in Croatia, Marija Jurić Zagorka. I also explore the many ways we can honour our witch lineage this summer, rituals to use in the summer season. I dive into the good Coprinice (witches) and the many things they did to help the people in their communities. This episode is filled with history, folk tales and stories from my ancestral lineage. I focused on the beautiful tales from the witches of that era and how we can honour them today.I would love to hear from you, send me a message about any of the podcast episodes ana@topangamoon.com @topanga_moon @anaalic

Ep. 70 Healing the Witch Wound and witch trials of Zagreb, Croatia

Scripting is writing out your life story the way you want it to be. An important aspect of scripting is how you feel vibrationally and surrender to divine timing. Scripting should be fun and a good exercise to see what it is your subconscious really desires. This episode is a fun exploration around scripting and how our written words can manifest our future potential life. This method emerged as an offshoot of the NLP approach in the 1970’s that encouraged people to visualize their futures using their five senses. I share the 4 simple steps to start scripting and start manifesting more for your life right now! It's a fun process to add to your morning rituals and great to incorporate at your moon ceremonies. I have unintentionally manifested things through my scriptwriting and I share some of the stories of things that have come into my life because of my scripts. For a writer this is the perfect way for me to add a manifesting tool to my daily practice and truly don't know why I haven't started sooner. I will also be doing a scripting for manifesting challenge on Topanga Moon instagram https://www.instagram.com/topanga_moon/ starting July 1st until July 11th but you can start at anytime and join in at anytime. I will be sharing some scripting word prompts and share my scripting with the Topanga Moon community for those 11 days. Share your scripting stories with me by sending me at note at ana@topangamoon.com and make sure to leave a rating and review on iTunes! I hope you enjoy this episode and are loving this summer season, sending you moon blessings! https://www.topangamoon.com/

Ep. 69 Scripting and manifesting through writing!

This episode flowed out of me in such an organic and flow state way. It's such a lovely reminder to believe in yourself and to keep going along your journey and to not give up! Even if you don't see the validation around you and have failures your belief needs to be stronger and when you believe it you will see it. I chat about how the 3D physical world takes time to catch up to the internal energetic world. How our energy creates opportunity and that statement as a mantra for my life. I discuss the amazing astrological reading I received for my birthday from my sister with the incredible astrologer Danielle Beinstein. I share the insights from my reading and how I am currently building my vision and in it for the long game. I share examples of how perseverance and belief really works and the miracles that can occur. This episode is a soul exploration of believing in yourself and how important our energy and our thoughts really are! We live in a vibrational reality and our desires live in the energetic world before they materialize in the external physical world. Looking at what we put our intention on and how we are influenced by the stories we hear around us, is our aura being affected by what we hear. How our mind is more powerful than any narrative and how we can change our reality through our empowered thoughts and vibrations. Things I talk about in this episode:My reading with http://www.daniellebeinstein.com/Hailey Whitters https://people.com/country/hailey-whitters-is-livin-the-dream/"You'll see it when you believe it" by Wayne DyerMantra: You energy creates your opportunityHappy Full Strawberry Moon!

We are in the full swing of gemini season! And as a double gemini myself this is definitely when I thrive! Which makes me extra excited for this weeks incredible podcast interview with Lea Hughes. She is the creator of Living Furthur, a gorgeous destination for all things holistic living and whole self healing. Lea is a holistic healer and human design reader and all around wellness advocate "guiding you home to yourself." She is also a 5/1 in human design which is one of the many things Lea and I bonded over. I am so honoured to share her journey of finding her own way back to herself and living a life full of intention, love and true wellness. In this interview we dive into:Lea's health journey and her discovery and healing of stage 4 breast cancer.A previous life of working in the fashion industry as her "dream job" and discovery that the lifestyle didn't align with her soul calling.How the diagnosis was a pivotal moment in her life and shifted the course of her journey towards whole self healing. A remembrance of how she was as a child and how this way of being was always a part of her journey and impacting her knowledge of health and wellness. The importance and energetics of how we speak to ourselves. We also talk about how words and thoughts are so important to healing. How Lea's intuition was vocal in finally discovering her diagnosis. The beautiful healing modalities she has implemented in her life. How she recognized that her lifestyle was not in balance prior to the diagnosis and the clues her body gave along the way. We discuss Human Design and how impactful is has been in our lives and the way Lea first discovered her Human Design. We dive deep into the profile of 5/1, how it's misunderstood and how the energetics of the 5/1 are perceived. We talk about living a life in accordance to your design and how we are created so uniquely with our own unique way of being. Lea shares the way to clear your aura and how these practices and the clearing of your aura can help magnetize what is already meant for you. We talk about the energetics of summer and the cosmic summer events we are looking forward to and how much we love the vibration of the summer season. This episode is truly divine and I am so grateful to have Lea's wisdom, grace and knowledge on the podcast. It was truly like two friends catching up and talking about the universe, energy and this magical life. For anyone going through any type of health journey I hope this episode brings you comfort, hope and a new way of looking at the journey to whole self.

Ep. 67 Lea Hughes of Living Furthur on holistic living, intuitive wellbeing and whole self connection.

Hello moon loves!!! I am excited to share another solo episode based on the spiritual topics I am just discovering. I am fascinated by my deep dive into the world of gene keys. It wasn't until recently that I found out about the connection of gene keys to human design. I have always loved human design but never knew what the gates meant and then I found gene keys from recent podcast guest Erica and it all makes sense. I share a description on what the gene keys are and dive into two of my keys, my life path key and my purpose key. I wanted to share these discoveries and the exciting information I found about the gene key 12 and 46. I related these keys to the my work and give examples on how they show up in my life. I also talk about their associated archetypes: the prophet and the sensual! You can learn all about your own gene keys here: https://genekeys.com/ and more about the archetypes here: https://www.unlockyourdesign.com/64-doors/ I then begin to discuss the introduction of The Law of One: a collection of exact transcripts from 26 sessions from an experiment designed to communicate with extraterrestrial beings. There is so much to discuss on this topic but I began with the group that created the experiments, using telepathy to communicate with ET's, refining the process for nearly 20 years, studying UFOlogy, discovering and then channeling RA - the sixth dimensional entity, and the main principles of The Law of One. "This basic law of all creation is buried deep within each of our hearts because we really are one in love and in light, the building blocks of the universe. We are all manifestations of the One Infinite Creator. We are the Creator." You can find all the transcripts for The Law of One here: https://www.lawofone.info/Intro This is a fascinating and truly expansive episode that I can't wait for you to hear!

What is happening in the cosmos for June! It's wild energetics and I have the updates on the solar eclipse, the Saturn/Uranus square, the new moon, summer solstice, mercury retrograde, the strawberry Full Moon, and the Jupiter and Neptune retrogrades. June is about the space between here and your desires, holding your vision as holy and being independent and self sovereign! I share the energetics of summer and the importance of patience, allowing the sweetness of summer to discover the Earth. A huge theme of these retrogrades is new ways of thinking, leaving old structures and unearthing truths. These themes connect to the Age of Aquarius and the 5 year energy. I also share some stories and sweet moments of cabin life along with my fascination and love of old home architecture and all the old historic homes in the area. This is a sweet soothing summer episode. I would love to hear from you about your summer moments and any mystical experiences.

I love this podcast series on Topanga Moon and will definitely be doing more episodes! I wanted to share this supernatural deep dive on the podcast as I have been researching and collecting all of this data for my sci-fi script. On the podcast today I get into some freaky mind expanding things like shifting realty, reality transurfing, Extended Intelligence and AI and Simulation Theory. There are so many interesting theories coming out in terms of our technology and consciousness. I also chat about the mythical "Tyler" that appears in the book American Cosmic, an invisible man that works with the space program, communes with ET's, has 40 different patents and has an EI presence online. He is known in the experiencer community, some think he is real, others believe he is a rogue AI, others think he is an alien and so on. I also dive into the experiencer story from Skinwalker Ranch, a ranch in Utah rife with paranormal activity and what happened to the Sherman family while living at the ranch. I love talking about these supernatural topics and if you would like to chat with me about anything you heard on the podcast today send me a note here: ana@topangamoon.com or visit the website: www.topangamoon.com Sending you all moon blessings!

This episode is energetically nourishing on so many levels! I am thrilled to have psychic herbalist Emily Hamilton on the podcast today to talk about connecting and communicating with the plant world. I love the work Emily shares and her Institute for Psychic Herbalism, a space for those who are sensitive to energy that yearn to anchor those energetics in connection to the Earth. In this beautiful evolving conversation we discuss Emily's journey to finding and creating psychic herbalism, her family trips to Big Sur and how that was the catalyst to energetic purging and discovery of her sensitivities to energy, how Earth has a way of self correcting and healing and pivotal moments of being held by nature in Big Sur and Sequim in Washington. We dive into how her health journey and trouble with acne led her to the plant world after nothing else worked. Everything changed when you found herbal medicine, she had a knowingness of what she came here to do. We discuss the importance of communicating with nature and how getting back into communication with the Earth with change the world. We also talk about trusting within your body, what psychic herbalism means to her, the plants and the fungi, how she works with clairvoyance - being empowered over the energy that you are seeing and then releasing the trigger points. She beautifully shares looking at the plant past lives and how they are used as medicine in the past, how are bodies are vessels of co-creation with the plants, and working with reishi to help her energetically and using wild rose to move through the old stories. We talk about relationship with instagram and speaking the truth you feel, sharing information you believe is important, sharing from a place of intention and how she uses instagram as a filtered journal. We beautifully dive into the energetics on the world today and moving through fear to share our authenticity. Emily also shares the magical story of connecting with her sacred partner and how she began to connect with him energetically before meeting him which led to her releasing it to the universe and her incredible meeting story. This was such a beautiful reminder of how the universe loves to surprise us and how we can create the divine partnerships that are on our hearts.

Ep. 61 Psychic Herbalist Emily Hamilton on connecting and communication with the plant world

Happy Earth Day! My intention with today's podcast was to share my love of connecting with the earth in three archetypes: the land steward, the cosmic creatrix and the lightworker. Before I dive into this earth exploration I began the podcast episode in a very raw way, sharing my "dip" as I like to call it as a creator and being in a valley moment of the podcast journey, sparked by a very human look at the numbers and how this podcast journey is non-linear. I wanted to share the real way I was feeling and through that expression I unearthed the connection to our planet, I wondered if Earth was feeling that as well? Does Earth feel this dip in acknowledgement because of how much humans are causing pain to the Earth? Does Earth feel like it's not being seen and revered for all that it gives? These curiosities led me into the discussion today and allowed me to see and really feel how important it is for us to show up for Earth, to show up in our expression regardless of the numbers or what is being received on the other end, the Earth needs us to show up as the land steward, the cosmic creatrix and the lightworker now more than ever! It is a hopeful exploration, one deeply rooted in purpose and soul mission. My hope is that it inspires you to continue on your journey of creation as it did for me. I recognized that the Earth needs my voice as much as others do and that is the same for all of you. I share this beautiful poem in the podcast that perfectly shared how I was feeling, it was the comfort I needed and provided so much inspiration for this episode. The poem can be found here: https://www.mysticmamma.com/the-world-has-a-you-shaped-hole-in-it/I speak on the many ways you can begin to be a land steward and get curious about your impact on the earth. I chat about being a creatrix and the many ways creation through the lens of divine feminine can add to the tapestry of the earth and finally I share the important of the work of the lightworker, how beautiful it is to share your light! Thank you for coming along this cosmic journey with me, it's and honour and privilege for me to share space with you! If you would like to connect with me you can reach me here: www.topangamoon.com @topanga_moon ana@topangamoon.com @anaalic Sending you all moon and earth blessings today!
