  S3E11: Energy Is Everything With Andrea Nolan Board

  Sep 14, 202638 minS3

  Host Leslie Pagel welcomes Andrea Nolan Board, a Reiki master, to discuss energy, Reiki, chakras, and how paying attention to the body can support healing and purpose. Andrea explains Reiki as universal life energy channeled through the practitioner (not their own energy), describes training levels and attunements, and says Reiki helps unblock energy through chakras, which she calls nerve-bundle energy centers affected by stress, illness, and pain. They discuss skepticism, how Reiki can complement physical therapy, and reported client outcomes like relaxation, better sleep, reduced pain, and increased intuition and clarity about life direction. Andrea offers self-care practices like grounding, visualizing an energy shield, and using crystals, and encourages listeners to try Reiki and pursue what feels purposeful. 00:00 Welcome and Energy Theme 01:05 First Reiki Experience 02:14 What Reiki Is 04:21 Attunements and Levels 05:48 Skeptic to Believer 07:12 Finding Purpose in Reiki 09:19 Handling Skeptics 10:34 Energy Protection and Grounding 11:52 Crystals and Chakras 15:47 Support and Physical Sensations 19:54 Chakras Explained 21:46 Sensing Blockages 24:07 Intuition And Flow 26:13 Client Transformations 27:43 Finding Purpose Path 30:33 Manifesting Practices 32:30 Advice And Self Care 35:40 Everything Is Energy Purpose Project is a research study on the topic of living life's purpose.

  S3E10: Take a Beat with Linda Wysocka

  Jun 29, 202647 minS3

  Host Leslie Pagel welcomes Linda Wysocka, musical creator behind SouLara Rose and founder of Rebirth Rhythm, to discuss living “to the beat of your own drum” as a remembering of one’s true self through shedding conditioning, checking alignment in the body, and regulating the nervous system. Linda shares using somatic cues to make decisions, distinguishing intuition from nervous system activation, and practicing boundaries, saying no, and protecting time and energy. She recounts major losses during COVID, divorce, heart-opening healing, and releasing grief through her Rebirth Rhythm Method combining music, movement, and breath. Linda explains creating an alter ego - SouLara Rose - to access bold self-expression, giving herself permission to feel and cry, and shares her future plans for books, workshops, retreats, and eventually singing her own songs. The episode ends with Leslie reflecting on training intuition alongside intellect. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:12 Remembering Your True Self 03:47 Music Roots and Return 04:28 Unpeeling Conditioning 05:57 Crisis Divorce and Healing 09:50 Rebirth Rhythm Release 11:13 Nervous System vs Intuition 14:52 SouLara Rose Alter Ego 16:28 Dancing in the Storm 19:01 Permission to Feel 23:39 Is Self Care Selfish 27:08 Regulate Before Choosing 27:46 Pressure Means No 28:09 Visualize The Reality 29:56 Define Your Success 30:45 If In Doubt Wait 33:08 Timing And Cycles 34:12 Identity In Between 35:07 Don’t Chase Attract 39:27 Healing Onion Layers 41:00 What’s Next 42:43 Where To Find Linda 43:14 Trust Yourself Message 45:16 Host Reflection Wrap You can find Linda on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindawysocka/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580392440169 SouLara Rose on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wwhEcDid5PPNwjAhn8R8Q Purpose Project is a research study on the topic of living life's purpose.
