A Lone Traveler's Guide to the Divine

Amanda Lux

Welcome dreamers, healers, empaths, seekers, and anyone interested in exploring what it means to be a soul on your journey, in these times. This podcast is a place to come home to in the sanctuary of the great mystery, where the subtler things in life are seen and listened to, where healing is possible through the sharing of poetry, dreams, teachings, interviews and inspiration. This is a place to feel held in sacred community. Because it can be lonely AF traversing the multiverse, evolving, awakening, harnessing the potency of our dreams, exploring the tools and techniques of energy medicine. And it takes tremendous courage to tune-in stead of tune-out, to be a light bearer who faces the shadow through conscious exploration, daring to activate our highest potential. But it is the kind of work that is worth doing. And it is so much more fun, interesting, profound and entertaining when we do it together! Hosted by Amanda Lux; artist, mother, author, registered polarity educator and founder of the Elevation Hive School and Community for Energy Medicine and DreamWork. Tune in every new and full moon for meditations, energy balancing and embodiment practices based in Polarity Therapy, dream sharing and fascinating conversations about what it means to live awake in this dream called life.

I am grateful for all the medical workers who show up at all hours for all the hardest things, and for the amazing technological advances in medicine! I do not think Energy Medicine should replace standard care. I do, however, believe that a broader definition for healing could be emphasized and I also believe this is coming, little by little. Perspectives are broadening. And thank goodness for that! What exciting times we are living in.

Embracing the Dark: Change your Energy and your Life with Art
Summary Welcome dreamers, seekers, empaths, and healers! My name is Amanda Lux of the Elevation Hive school and community for energy medicine and dreamwork. In this podcast, I share teachings, musings, poems, songs, and interviews with other amazing humans who walk the healer's path. In this episode An art vlog and podcast documenting my journey from painting realism (surrealism) to abstracts! Having never painted in this style before, I created an entire series of abstract paintings and hung them in a solo show! The theme of this series was "embracing the dark" and finding the beauty in the dreary parts of life (and the hideous PNW grey, rainy weather). In this episode I talk about:How I painted an entire series of abstract paintings having never painted in this style before (in less than a month).How I used Ritual Action to shift my energy and my life through paintingHow art helped me to change my relationship to the weather in PNW and my perfectionistic tendencies that used to keep me from starting and completing projects.
