The Mountain Mystic Podcast
Welcome to a new form of ascension path: an embodied spirituality that unfolds as we deepen into our present, lived experience for all that it is in these wild, often chaotic, often painful and challenging, yet infinitely beautiful lives lived as human beings. An embodied spirituality: one that demands that we know our very real, very alive world here on planet earth as we simultaneously learn to go within, know ourselves ever-more-deeply, and learn the discerning path of healing, of transformation, and of wild & deep fulfillment.
When I left my life as a Biomedical Researcher in pursuit of a path that could truly help heal the world, I didn't expect my greatest teacher to come in the form of Earth, herself. But that's what happened! Along with guidance from a diverse set of ancient wisdom traditions and some phenomenal modern teachers, I've been able to carve out my own path out of a modern industrial complex and, moment by moment, learn to choose what is healing and nurturing and joyful and fulfilling!
As a trail runner and rock climber, it is my bond with the great outdoors that taught me deep truths about our misalignment with Nature and our own selves. Here, may we step into conversation focused on re-alignment with our true nature. Through it, may we find a better path forward as we heal the deep wounds cut into all living systems.

GROUNDING: Finding support and heart-centered connection in a wild and turbulent world
As we find ourselves in turbulent times, one of the most powerful things we can do (for ourselves and for the whole planet we are all a part of) is to stay grounded: To find that connection with the support we need to feel safe and vitalized, centered and ready to show up for this world.
Grounding has to do with presence, just as it has to do with connection. How present can you be in any one moment has much to do with how grounded you are. And, how grounded you are has a lot to do with how connected you are to the whole of life happening around you (and, within you).
In this episode, join me for two focused practices on grounding, along with conversation on how you can find and deepen into your grounding. Because grounding doesn't look the same for everyone. As I share in my own story in this episode, grounding sometimes requires creativity and doesn't always look like some standardized yoga or meditation practice!
