Wisdom Rising

Send Us a Message! What if six simple breaths could flip your system from scattered to centered and prime your body for real energetic change? Christine Renee explores how intentional breathing supports Shamanic Reiki—from using the exhale to help clients release stagnant energy to a full microcosmic orbit practice that “power washes” your chakras with focus and care. She then maps the microcosmic orbit: inhale up the back, exhale down the front, visualize a Reiki energy ball tracing the loop, and add gentle locks at the palate and root to concentrate flow. Layer in earth energy from below and source from above, and the circuit becomes a steady river rather than a trickle. Then bring in Tantra’s three keys—breath, movement, and sound—to soften rigid form into living practice. Undulate the spine to recruit the fascia, voice the exhale to free the throat, and let intention lead. Whether you’re working solo, with a client, or with a partner, this approach meets you where you are and moves what’s ready to move. In this episode, we explore: • Six-breath centering for release and tuning • Matching breath with clients to invite participation • Throat center as primary exit pathway • Case study of hip pain and emotional release • Microcosmic orbit explained with energy ball focus • Adding movement and sound to deepen flow • Transitioning from structured form to fluid tantra • Masterclass details and free webinar invitation Ready to take it deeper?

Send Us a Message! Imagine opening a conversation about sex that begins with safety, truth, and reverence. We invited our community into a live, guided experience of sacred space and the three keys of Tantra—breath, sound, and movement—to show how everyday intimacy can become a powerful energy practice. No jargon, no shock value, just clear tools you can try right away to feel more alive, connected, and grounded. In this episode, we explore: We start by reframing Tantra as experiential: a path of expanding aliveness by integrating two inner qualities—steady presence and dynamic flow. From there, we build a sacred container. You’ll hear the language we use for desires, fears, and boundaries and how a simple “sacred bubble” ritual shifts the room from casual to consecrated. Then we move into practice. First, a Taoist breath loop that inhales up the back and exhales down the front to rinse the system and settle the mind. Next, we add sound to liberate expression and clear the throat center. Finally, we invite movement—spirals, undulations, subtle sways—to bridge sexual root and spiritual crown. Throughout, we share what to notice: tingling hands, jaw tension, a wave of grief, or a bright, quiet calm. The aim isn’t to force fireworks; it’s to build capacity. With breath, sound, and movement working together, energy moves, emotions integrate, and intimacy feels safer and more honest. We also outline our five-week Intro to Tantra masterclass: one week each for sacred space, breath, sound, and movement, plus a full Q&A. It’s fully clothed, consent-forward, and designed for solo or partnered practice. If you’re curious about turning connection into a spiritual practice without leaving your values at the door, this conversation is your on-ramp. Listen, follow the guided segments, and notice what shifts. If it resonates, subscribe, share with someone you trust, and leave a review telling us which key—breath, sound, or movement—opened the most for you.

Send Us a Message! What if spiritual practice didn’t pull you out of your body—but brought you deeper into it? After a month of eclipses, team changes, and heartfelt goodbyes, Christine turned to Tantra not as dogma, but as a grounded, embodied way to meet life. With guest (and her beloved) Jim Macdonald, they unpack what Tantra means to them: a practice of self-love that integrates sexual energy with spirit through the simple, potent tools of breath, movement, and sound. We start by clearing the fog around Tantra. Forget the hype and the rigid scripts—this approach welcomes solo practitioners and couples alike. Jim shares the SkyDancing Institute's lineage of neo-tantra, where the focus is raising energy from root to crown for expanded awareness and everyday ecstasy. Christine bridges Tantra with her Shamanic Reiki background, showing how energy work becomes more alive when you let the body move, the breath deepen, and the voice open.

Send Us a Message! ✨ What if your hardest relationships are actually teachers, and your recurring triggers are maps guiding you toward healing? In this episode, we explore how Soul Contracts and Spiritual Archetypes form a living framework for meaning, growth, and purpose. From the four universal shadow archetypes—the victim, saboteur, prostitute, and child—to their light expressions as warrior, magician, lover, and sovereign child, you’ll learn how to recognize and alchemize patterns without bypassing the hard stuff. You’ll discover: 🌙 Why archetypes are so powerful—they’re vivid, fast, and collective (everyone knows what “queen” or “victim” means) 🌙 How to shift from blame to accountability in seconds using archetypal awareness 🌙 The 12 houses of archetypes and where patterns show up—home, career, relationships, spirituality 🌙 How practitioners can use archetypes to speed up client intakes, reduce counter-transference, and hold a clean, compassionate healing field Christine and Shantel share candid stories from their own spiritual trenches, including surprising spirit-guide dynamics and upper-world resistance, and how those challenges built unshakable confidence for client work that others might find “too heavy.” We also dive into the bigger picture—how to be a sacred witness in a chaotic world, stay engaged without being consumed, and recognize when antagonists are actually pushing you toward sovereignty. ✨ Ready to map your own patterns and step fully into your light?

Send Us a Message! What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding aren’t broken—but the very key to your healing? In this transformative episode on shadow work and self-healing, Christine René and Chantel Ochoa reveal why shadow work isn’t about battling your “dark side,” but instead learning to love, accept, and integrate the hidden aspects of yourself. Christine shares a vulnerable story about her own shadow activation around body image, showing how most shadows form before age eight as protective mechanisms. From there, you’ll be guided through a powerful 5-step shadow work process designed to help you heal and integrate your shadows: ✨ Recognize triggers with self-awareness ✨ Meet patterns with curiosity instead of judgment ✨ Practice radical self-acceptance with accountability ✨ Alchemize old beliefs into new possibilities ✨ Integrate through conscious routines and emotional regulation You’ll also learn how shadows commonly show up in everyday life—through grief, addictions, people-pleasing, escapism, or emotional reactivity—and how compassion can transform them from destructive cycles into sources of wisdom and strength. If you’ve been curious about shadow work, trauma healing, or spiritual awakening, this episode reframes shadow work as a path to wholeness, resilience, and emotional freedom. You’ll walk away with practical tools and spiritual insight to support your healing journey and reclaim the energy that has been trapped in old patterns. Whether you’re new to shadow work or seeking deeper integration, this conversation will help you move beyond self-sabotage and step into a life rooted in authenticity, self-love, and inner power.

Send Us a Message! What if the stories you tell yourself are the very chains keeping you stuck? In this powerful episode, Christine and Isabel explore how past trauma shapes your identity, limits your potential, and disconnects you from your intuition — and how you can finally break free. From a Shamanic perspective, your life is created by the stories you carry. When those stories are rooted in wounds, they act like invisible “hooks,” pulling you back into old patterns of fear, self-sabotage, and limitation. Even your healing journey can become a trap if it reinforces the belief that you’re still broken. In this episode, you’ll discover: 🌿 How trauma creates limiting beliefs and energetic attachments 🌿 Why your mind can only project the past into the future — and how to break the cycle 🌿 The difference between wounds and scars (and how to fully integrate your healing) 🌿 Shamanic techniques for rewriting your story and reconnecting with your soul’s truth 🌿 Practical tools for future forecasting and stepping into your highest self If you’ve been feeling stuck, replaying the same patterns, or wondering why your healing hasn’t “worked” yet — this conversation will help you shift from wounded identity to empowered being. ✨ Ready to reclaim your power and write a new story?

Send Us a Message! Psychedelics and plant medicine have become increasingly intertwined with modern spiritual practices, but are these substances truly necessary for profound spiritual experiences? This question sits at the heart of our candid conversation about the relationship between Shamanism, plant medicine, and psychedelics. The conversation delves into the long-term integration process of psychedelic experiences, contrasting it with conscious shamanic methods that engage both mind and spirit in real time. Using the metaphor of an escalator versus stairs, we emphasize that while both paths can lead to transformation, shamanic techniques—like breathwork and meditation—build inner strength without giving power away to external tools. Along the way, we discuss: The Moon Rising team brings diverse perspectives to this nuanced topic, challenging the assumption that psychedelics are necessary for spiritual growth.

Send Us a Message! Sacred ground has a way of speaking directly to our souls and opening us up to magical experiences. In this episode, Christine, Isabel, and Shantel all gather together to reflect on the magic that was created in the first Moon Rising Shamanic Reiki Retreat. Our first Shamanic Reiki retreat together revealed profound truths about ceremonial living, feminine connection, and the power of intentional containers. From inviting participants to find their personal trees as energetic allies, to experiencing a traditional Lakota sweat lodge that sparked incredible vulnerability, we witnessed what happens when women are given permission to simply be themselves in sacred space. From powerful vulnerability to transformative Shamanic work, this retreat exceeded our expectations- and today we're sharing our top takeaways. In this episode, we cover: This conversation reminds us that we can live a life where every moment is ceremony, every tree is an ally, and your divine nature can fully express itself.

Send Us a Message! What would happen if we broke the rules, reconnected with our true selves, and lived life on our own magical, divine terms? This is the question Christine and Isabel explore in this soul-stirring conversation about reclaiming our wildness and living authentically. We dive deep into society's expectations that force us to fragment ourselves – showing only certain parts in certain spaces – and how this disconnection creates profound suffering. From having to take "hidden" nervous system regulation breaks at work to feeling we must mask our emotions to be accepted, we've all experienced the pressure to shrink ourselves to fit into boxes we never chose. This episode is an invitation to reconnect to the wild within. Along the way, we explore: Are you ready to remember who you were before the world told you who to be? Tune in now!

Send Us a Message! You've felt it—that moment when you realize you've been pouring from an empty cup for so long that your body is screaming for rest. In this deeply personal episode, Isabel opens up about hitting her breaking point after months of overwork, sharing the raw truth of what happens when we prioritize productivity over presence. This isn't just another conversation about self-care—it's a radical exploration of how our nervous systems hold the key to authentic spiritual connection and how societal programming keeps us trapped in cycles of depletion. Through her research into polyvagal theory and the concept of "human givers versus human beings," Isabel offers a revolutionary perspective on burnout, particularly how it manifests differently in those socialized with feminine energy. She and Christine delve into what it truly means to balance masculine and feminine energies (hint: it's not about being 50/50, but finding your unique harmony), how to recognize when your nervous system is dysregulated, and practical ways to come back into balance without abandoning yourself. Along the way, they cover: Whether you're currently in burnout, recovering from it, or hoping to avoid it altogether, this conversation offers both wisdom and practical tools to help you reclaim your sacred self. Because revolution doesn't always look like fighting external battles—sometimes it looks like coming home to yourself and remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
