Bridge to Being

Religion & Spirituality Podcas

Welcome to the intersection of creativity and spirituality, a pilgrimage through time and space with Lobsterbird. Here, entrepreneurship is a holistic spiritual path, where travel, art, energy, and healing weave together, creating a space for presence, inspiration, and transcendence – a Bridge to Being. Welcome to the state that exists between worlds. Cultural anthropologist Victor Turner calls it liminality, where one thing is in a state of transitioning: “Liminal entities are neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between.” Buddhists have the Bardo. Catholics have Purgatory. As a lobsterbird (½ lobster, ½ bird, ½ Asian, ½ Western, ½ a dweller in this society, ½ time spent in creative realms of flow), I live in and embody this state. In fact, I believe we, as humans, are the bridge between the earth and the heavens, and it is through our acts of creativity that we manifest this glorious world of forms. In this podcast, I explore this multitude of forms, taking you along on my own adventures through space, exploring the transitions where we can rest and find something out about our true nature.

Sumi Dishes on Korean Food and Being Satisfied on Long Beach Island

12/12/2019
Today’s episode is going to be a little unconventional, kind of like our Lobsterbird. We are going to be getting a bit quantum in this episode with her mother, Sumi, who is also a known food psychic. Modern Magic has brought Sophia back to her childhood home on Long Beach Island, where Sumi shakes a ham at her and answers deep questions about banchan (Korean tiny side dishes), fortune, and how our quality of life might be tied to the quality of tradition and culinary provision from the land. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Creative Sparks: KOREAN FOOD is very tied to the LAND and to the SEASONS. GOOD FOOD is highly symbolic of a GOOD LIFE.“I can’t BELIEVE in God if I can’t EAT.”UNRAVELING can lead to the GREATEST ADVENTURE of our lives. Your Travelogue My first crazy unraveling brought me back to Long Beach Island on my very first accidental retreat. I got down on my hands and knees in the sand and snow, and I prayed to that ocean - and all kinds of magical things started to happen. [4:19]The upcoming Modern Magic documentary: If Anthony Bourdain'sParts Unknownhad a baby with the filmBaraka, who also somehow through this weird polyamorous relationship also had this baby with theDark Crystaland also Queer EyeMore than a Makeover. [9:56]What’s up with the many, many little side dishes with lots of different things in them? Do they mean something? [11:59]Scientists came together in 2015 to study Korea’s unique food culture, which is connected to its long agricultural history, which was intimately connected to the seasons and the rhythms of the earth. [21:42]Good food makes people feel abundant and satisfied. It is enjoyable and makes us feel like we have a good life. [30:02]When the quality of food goes down and the quality of tradition goes down, does the quality of human life go down? [33:47]We expect our whole lives to be satisfying. Whether we have good food or nothing to eat, we can accept what is and be satisfied. [37:09]Going to God’s house meant special food on Sunday. [40:59]What do you think is more important, eating food or believing in God? [47:26]When people come together and eat, is that a spiritual experience? [51:18]This ends Phase One of the Bridge to Being. Why we're ending, for how long, and how we can still be together.

The Trauma of False Reality

11/12/2019
What happens when your worst childhood nightmare becomes a reality? Can you see through the illusion, the reality of what is real/not real? On the heels of three weekends of epiphanies and enlightenment, amid Colorado mountain beauty and koi pond and pumpkin patch, that is exactly what happened. Fly away with Lobsterbird as she shares her experience in a tender place, an *inverse conscious unconscious creation* in which her worst nightmare serves to heal her worst nightmare. Your Creative Sparks: TIME and SPACE are not as they seem. In fact, they are not even REAL.There is a BELL CURVE to HEALING, where CRISIS often precedes FREEDOM.When you HEAL, you have to bring up SHADOW. You have to understand the PAIN.We can’t SPIRITUALIZE our way out of FEELING what needs to be CLEARED. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue My hope is that what I'm about to share with you helps us look at traumatic things in a whole new way. [2:17]Thank you Dragonfly! I have been liberated from a set of shackles or chains that I *maybe* sensed were around me, but I didn't think they were, you know, that big a deal. [9:24]“It’s a tricky weave we web here.” Do we cut through the illusion, or do we avoid it? Hashtag paradox alert![11:11]Okay, so it’s September. I am integrating and trying to do nothing. Except... [17:51]Be careful when you make deals with Spirit. They will make a deal back, and they will up the ante. [22:14]Tibetan yoga and lucid dreaming - my obsession and frustration and another synchronicity leads me further down the rabbit hole. [28:12]I'm feeling even more connected to the quantum field with every step I take, knowing that the ground is not real and neither are my feet. Then this unreal ground gets pulled out from under me. [31:52]I go outside and I'm walking around to the pumpkin patch and I'm like, Whoa, wait a second. My truck... [38:39]Someone has been in the house. Nothing obvious and valuable has been stolen, but precious, personal mementos are missing… as is my orange bikini. [43:22]If you want to debate how your thoughts create your reality, go right ahead, but I know that when I was little, I had this recurring nightmare where I was in this very house that I'm looking at right now from the sacred portal spot. [49:06]Let's just say there was something that was rising up in me. [53:57]It wasn't like I was like, Ooh, I'm just going to spiritualize this. And like, everything's energy and it's all fine. All of this stuff was coming up, and I was feeling it deeply, and then it moved through me, and I just kept clearing it. [1:00:24]I was like Frodo with the ring in the fires of Mordor. I was a hunter to my own fear. [1:03:23]I feel better than ever. I feel more confident than ever, especially that I can handle whatever comes my way. Like my new pilgrimage to India! You can join me, If you want to, you know, be able to face whatever circumstances come to you and allow them to be things that help you awaken and self actualize and heal.

Ticks: Lobsterbird Solo on Sacred Ground

9/14/2019
In her first solo walk with us in months, Lobsterbird travels along a magical path lined with multi-colored mushrooms, catching us up on her adventures through the many realms of spirituality, entrepreneurship, pilgrimage, the quantum field and more. Join us on the border of the forest of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where the New Jersey Devil is in fact said to live, as Lobsterbird faces parasitic hunters in order to return home with the healing elixir she discovered along her hero's journey. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Creative Sparks: COLLABORATE with FEAR. Think of it as a fun art project.We are going through a real DEATH PERIOD right now, in which we will be REBIRTHED.We are being asked to RAMP IT UP in our ability to deal with LETTING GO, SURRENDER AND FAITH.POLARITY is like a FALSE MATRIX of thinking. Your Travelogue It was about a year ago that I had a dark night of the soul that lasted like an entire year. Like it's just finished. There are many times throughout the course of the past year where I actually thought it was over, and then it just kept going. [1:49]This is the magic spot, and when I was little, it was in this spot that I knew that I was crossing over the threshold into another realm, much like the bridge to Terabithia. [5:42]Ticks. People are super scared of them because apparently they're hunters.[7:56]I came home to birth some kind of energy baby. [9:19]“I'm walking through the spiderwebs, leave a message and I'll call you back.” The way to collaborate with fear and make it an artistic project is to allow it to be there and make really creative choices with it. [15:55]We are in this time right now where people are really being asked to step up and express their truth. [25:31]I am going to expose my own darkness and that's what this past year has been about. [30:04]A thirty second walking meditation for crossing out of the weird donut hole. [41:49]When the Buddhists were talking about duality and seeing through the illusion, I thought I knew what that meant. But the multiverse had to create this amazing obstacle course to really teach me what the Buddhists meant by duality. [43:45]We are here, on the path in the woods to liberation. [46:54]Because of our conscious awareness, we have an equal role in helping to sustain the planet, much as the planet does. What do you have to say to that, magic forest? [52:43]There's a different way to do this y'all, and that's what we have to get to. And we'll only get there if we are investigating really deeply what our own energies are that are running under the surface. And then we must learn how to clear it and how to transmute it and how to turn it into something which then does give us power. [57:03]I am convinced that we need new leaders to emerge in this world right now. [59:57]It is possible to be in a state of beingness. And it actually doesn't matter if you're walking through a magical forest of your childhood or you're walking around on the streets in New York City amongst all the chaos. [1:02:52]IRL Pilgrimages: Let's get enlightened. Purify our Karma. Heal our hearts and save some lives and build some elephant enclosures. It's going to be epic.

The Looking Glass of Your Love Frequency with Julie Pierce in Ireland

8/15/2019
Lobsterbird returns to us from the rolling land, a myriad of greens and wildflowers, so many fields that just ARE. They aren't getting mowed, and they are perfectly perfect anyway. The animals are keeping them. Grasses are growing where they need to grow. The flowers are reaching up. With Julie Pierce, we reflect on our truth and being-ness - one can only behold that which is within. When we look through this mirror with radical acceptance and love, we enter a portal that beams with our radiant heart. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Creative Sparks: The origin of the YOUME TREE. I see you, and therefore I can see me.Can you STAND in front of the MIRROR and LIST TEN features that YOU LOVE?Sometimes we have to BE CURIOUS TOGETHER and see what we find. Your Travelogue Spirals everywhere! And what do spirals do to your energy? Enhance it. Double it over. Amplification, Clarification, Purification, Ascension... Multitude vortexes in this land: in the stone circles, in the cairns, in the faery realms, in the structure of the caves. [4:19]The outer is a reflection of the inner, and the inner is a reflection of the outer. I don't want to call it a mirror, because it is so much more than that. A mirror is flat and hard and reflective. This is reflective, but this is *through* - like Alice and the looking glass - it's not a bounce back, it's a place of entry. It's a place of access. A portal.[7:21]Furry Scottish Lads? Don’t take ourselves so seriously, and ride the pendulum! [10:45]Isn't it nice to experience love? Why is there anything else?[15:40]Open the heart to the thing we find disdainful. Compassion becomes part of our energetic signature. [18:14]We are totally into connecting! Connecting with people. Connecting with the earth. Connecting with animals. Connecting with trees. Connecting through social media. How do we keep from becoming overwhelmed by being so connected? [22:44]The first place of being able to manage that interconnection is within yourself, you to you. [25:51]Julie went to Egypt with her parents when she was nine. Isis was on the ceiling inside a pyramid. BOOM! Julie experienced a full body, deep cellular, vibratory connection. Not knowing what this was, she did not tell anybody what was happening to her. [33:09]It's a wonderful classroom, being a Mom. As a mother, my challenge is to NOT merge on my son, but to allow him to individuate. My exercise with him on that is the further individuation of myself. [38:38]This is where faith comes in: I show up. I make my best effort with my intention. And I am held in the container of the natural unfolding. [42:20]How our truth evolves and how we maintain our truth.[47:07]It takes courage to be with the stuff that feels horrible. Courage = it's not going to feel good. It's not better because you are brave. It's still horrible. The courage is just the part of you that you draw on to stay present. [53:53]Julie does love frequency readings. We crave love as an experience. Sometimes we can't know what to do next if we aren't clear on where we truly are right now. What is the theme of your present moment, which is a consequence of past choices, and where are you going? Good material to feel clear about your next step, and the choices that will lead to it. [55:05]IRL Pilgrimages: Take the leap. Step into your power. Speak your truth. Help awaken the world. We're building businesses, we're healing our lives on almost unbelievable levels - except it's all true because Magic is Real. [1:03:06] Links and resources: Where are you right now on the spectrum of Love Energy? Knowing this offers perspective and helps you understand how your experience fluctuates on the spectrum. Having a complete picture of your journey through Love Energy from the past, to the present, and into the future helps you make confident, effective decisions about your next steps toward creating a successful and fulfilling relationship. Gain this power through perspective with your Love Frequency Reading....

Balanc-ing, Spiraling Up & Gyrokinesis with Maryanne Chaney in Ireland

6/21/2019
Your Creative Sparks: Being SOULFUL is DIRTY. Soul work is dirty. It is not sterilized, sanitized spirituality.POOP: It’s about FERTILITY. It’s also about CONTROL.EVERYTHING is SACRED. POWER is NOT necessarily LOFTY. Mystery is present in the lush, fertile spirals of Ireland. Soulful conversation flows between Lobsterbird and Maryanne Chaney as they sit upon thousands of blades of grass and are licked in the face by furry creatures. Above is a gorgeous sky of blue filled with fluffy, cotton clouds. And below? Who knows? Could be worms… bugs… poop? What does poop have to do with a state of grace, balanc-ing and spiraling up? Only everything. And how much are you willing to let go to find out? Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue We are always seeking balance. But with grace, it's unseeable. It's that dance that happens in Nature, that tries to find balance.[3:46]Maryanne’s ancestors were from Ireland, and she has visited many times. But this time was radically different... [6:20]Allowing for mystery… [11:11]It's so important for us these days to be out in Nature. We are affected so much by this constant vibration and wireless technology pulsing through us. And we take it like that's okay. But I'm really not sure it's that great for our nervous system. In fact, I know it isn't. When we get into Nature, we can go into a natural biorhythm. We can connect to the earth and then connect into our bodies, and we can become "natural" human beings, more efficient and more attuned human beings, able to care for each other and care for the earth.[12:51]You are corralled in a city. Controlled. There is a sterilization taking place. Sterilization is the opposite of poop - which is fertile. [16:06]Cue Poop! It’s a new theatre production! lol Poop enters, stage left... [20:22]It’s all a production, isn’t it? ;) As a performer, what is the most graceful way to embody this performance called Life? With all of its challenges and all of its pressure... and poop?[21:21]Here lies the human condition, of always trying to attain balance. But it's like trying to attain perfection. Balance doesn’t exist. There is always this wavering. There is always flux. [23:53]Instead of seeking balance, how about balanc-ing? Then it becomes a VERB, and it becomes this... Theactof balancing vs finding astate.[46:44]Motheralways farted loudly and expressively - FOL! Sophi became the opposite. But holding it in created super stink. And this became a metaphor… [29:00]Everything is sacred. If we can appreciate that... that IS a power. That is that balanc-ing of power. [33:23]Spiraling Up - feeling energy shift and change and open every day through gyrokinesis. [39:39]40 Days to Spiral Up! What will happen if you do this for forty days? Well, let's get scientific and test a hypothesis… [45:15] Links and resources: 40 Days to Spiral Up is an online practice that includes meditation, breathwork and movement to inspire and instill a daily energetic habit in the body. Using the Gyrokinesis method, Kundalini breathing techniques, and other movement modalities, it brings flow and balance to the body with clearer mental awareness and a lightness of spirit.Maryanne Chaney is a dance artist, teacher, choreographer, Gyrotonic/Gyrokinesis instructor and Reiki practitioner living in New York City.

The Art of Yoni Dancing with Lyoni Fisher in Bali

3/1/2019
Your Creative Sparks: LIFE and DANCE are the same thing.WALK in the world as the GODDESS SEXPOT you are, if that is what you want.To be FEARLESSLY, uniquely oneself is to give the world a GIFT. Today we are transmitting from the beautiful, sensual land of Bali in Indonesia, introducing *Yoni Dancer* fresh from the Bali Pilgrimage. Lyoni experienced the “arc of healing” which represented lifetime of healing in only ten days. The crucible of pilgrimage allowed her to discover she could be her authentic self, in all her unique glory, and still be accepted, embraced and loved. She also discovered a new language of energy, one that is felt in the body and personified in the dance. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Everyone has their own unique way of understanding and interacting with energy.[4:44]What happened when Lyoni hiked up her skirt in the temple... [8:21]Lyoni’s primary access point to energy is clairsentience - thefeelingcapacity. Asa dance teacher, she works intimately with the body, and working with the body is a gateway to working with much more than that.[14:03]When you see that woman walking down the street, and you can see that special *something* about her, and you think, "I wish I had that"...[19:05]I've noticed that when I don't feel good, running away isn't the solution. [22:11]You access the power of the mind through the body.The body actually feels first. Then the mind tries to figure out what the body's feeling - and can sometimes miscommunicate and think it's feeling one thing and it isn't. [25:40]The bell curve of healing: Sometimes that pain accentuates, and normally we freak out and want to run away from it. But we can stick with it, so it can clear. [29:33]For the women who want to get their sexy back - It's letting go of any self judgement that makes you look so sexy. To be naked just as you are, in your comfort and purity, is so sexy, so regal. [35:10]Integration happens in the body, not just in the mind.[43:23] Links and resources: Learn how to be fearlessly, unapologetically YOU in all your unique glory through the art of Yoni Dancing.

#50 Fantasy Art, Creative Flow, and Faerieland with Alyse Longenecker in Bali

1/18/2019
Your Creative Sparks: We are ONE WITH NATURE. It is only our ego that makes us feel insignificant.Being in Nature feels like a REAL LIFE FANTASY.We know the TRUTH of existence as CHILDREN, that fantasy is a real world. Alyse did guided Faerie tours in the forest at the age of ten, and she has refused to allow society to culture the fantasy out of her. A visionary painter, much of her work is based in Nature, with a lot of hidden details and imaginative symbolism. On the tail of the Bali pilgrimage, Lobsterbird shares reflections with Alyse on the science of magic, our interconnectedness, the art of flow, and creating space for enchantment. Join us at the campfire, gazing up at the stars and upon the shores of the sacred lake. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Completing the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, a 26 mile trek on ancient cobblestone steps, and getting to know Mom all over again on the trail. [2:22]Being in Nature... What is so terrifying and powerful about it?[6:13]She didn’t appreciate all of Dad’s camping as a kid. Later, she lived in a cabin in the woods in Georgia, surrounded by five acres of wild forest. Only then did Alyse realize how much she loved being in Nature. [11:25]The Georgia forest: ferns and faeries. [13:29]If the portal opens, I have the right shoes. I’m not going to be that girl wearing heels in fairyland. [15:50]Flow is being in the quantum field. Source is the soul of creativity. [18:45]PRACTICUM!: Alyse’s warm-up practice for creative flow.The way Nature weaves in and out of itself and supports itself is really magical. Science for Alyse is all about biology and the interconnectedness of all things. [24:15]We don’t leave enough space for really deep wonder. [27:35]Creativity brings people together. The act of creating together frees us from judging ourselves. [32:50]Crafting Confidence: kids making art projects, things that have an intention behind them + a gentle exploration of identity. [36:16]Being bullied and finding friends who were being their own sort of weird. [39:54]Twenty years is a long time to develop the habit of not loving yourself.

#49 Audioblog Storytime!, Part 3: Where the Heart Is

1/11/2019
Your Creative Sparks: The JOURNEY to CREATE a sustainable life doing the things you LOVEI take a BREATH and BUILD another HOME inside my HEARTThis MERIT is dedicated to “all the scientists and artists who bring the tremendous delight and pleasure to the world and others by their creativity and expressing their creativity. So as anyone who is actually being of benefit to others and brings the joy and comfort and delight for them to have longevity and prosper in their lives.” This hero’s global journey leads her Home. But where is Home? Home is a place where we build our world with our breath, letting the walls be an air of spaciousness and freedom for all beings, including animal beings, plant beings and human beings. We can be at home amid the symphony of crickets, cicada and geckos, under the pitter patter of rain on a thatched roof. “I can find Home where I am - Where the Heart is. I now finish this story to release it and let it go, because there is a new story to be told.” Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue After the lobster release in Maine, it was as if my heart had exploded open and all the unbound particles of my being were dancing off somewhere without me. [4:58]The art islands of Naoshima (直島), Teshima (豊島), and Inujima (犬島) arise from utter ruin. [7:03]The call to live simply resounded throughout my soul and the YURT became a symbol of possibility.

1/4/2019
Your Creative Sparks: But the HUNTER was also the HUNTEDLIFE RELEASE is really RESPONDING to that CALL of another being in DANGER and being able to do something about itALL THINGS FEEL As Part Two of this story unfolds, we discover the fantastical how this Lobsterbird landed on her spiritual path. On the heels of completing the Shikoku Pilgrimage, and having read “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki, Sophia returned to a life that was fundamentally and dramatically changed. She was seriously considering moving into a monastery and becoming a nun. “A Wrinkle in Time” lands her instead in Maine, risking life and limb to release trapped lobsters back into the wild... Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue I’m in a car with a family i just met, traveling via tesseract, to Maine for a couple days to release lobsters. [1:29]How does one know whether to devote one’s existence solely to the study of Buddhism or to find ways to study while pursuing a life consistent with the one a person is already living? [4:15]“Do you know what you are doing??? You are going toMaine. This is the heart of lobster country. It islegalfor people to be shot for stealing from someone’s lobster trap. Shot! And the law says that’s okay! It’s like you are going into Iraq and opening up oil valves and letting it drain all over the place.” [8:08]Gérard de Nerval is a Parisian famously known for liberating Thibault the lobster and taking him for guided walks in the gardens of the Palais-Royal. [9:09]If you permit yourself to think that lobsters can suffer and would rather not, the Maine Lobster Festival can begin to take on aspects of something like a Roman circus or medieval torture-fest.[10:36]The lobster study that shifted how scientists view the architecture and function of all neural circuits, including those in humans.[12:55]The actual steps to lobster release are incredibly simple and profound… Sometimes the lobsters do this amazing thing where they spread their “arms” really wide as if they are free-falling into a place of ecstatic freedom. [15:10]“I was no longer this person who felt in need of saving, but rather, a part of something much larger. It was through the act of liberating others that i found a new sense of freedom.” [17:11]Tapped into an entire ocean of Being. [19:19]All things feel.

Your Creative Sparks: What is HOME?How a PILGRIMAGE can help us come home?Without any home ground, we are LOST SOULS. The more we tell our stories, the further they move from the truth. Thankfully, this story was recorded close to the truth in a blog written back in 2015, after Lobsterbird returned from her first pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan.

#46 Modern Shamanism in the Western World with Kim Woodcock in Bali

12/14/2018
Your Creative Sparks: We come into each lifetime with a SACRED CONTRACT, what your soul agreed to learn.How SUFFERING causes pieces of our SOUL to leave, and how we can BRING THEM BACK.The THREE WORLDS: Why you would GO THERE and what kind of work you would do there?A lot of HEALERS want to do light work, but our PROBLEMS are not in the light. We are sitting in the jungle of Bali in the midst of pilgrimage with Lobsterbird and Shaman Goddess, Kim Woodcock, attended by the songs of Cricket and Cicada. It’s been a year of transformation for this modern shaman, and she takes us back into the trenches to reveal the ancient secrets behind her incredible healing journey - a journey that is available to everyone. Travel with us through the three worlds to discover how you can learn the hidden language of the stone people, the four leggeds, and the stars. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue How Kim’s chronic illness led her “into the cave” where she found the shamanic path offered the radical healing she needed to get herself out of bed and back into life. [5:06]The one thing she wanted to do most was travel again, even if it was virtual. Then Kim met Sophia’s and joined her first virtual pilgrimage. That led to sacred site healings, and she started to feel better. Since then, she has traveled with the League of Heroes to Tulum, the UK, and now Bali, in 2018 alone. [8:29]A life or death decision: How the Temazcal sweat lodge ceremony in Tulum challenged both the teacher and the student. [14:35]After 20 years of shamanic training, it was Kim’s personal healing that finally gave her the courage to step up and lead others on their own healing journey. [22:02]Bringing in the higher consciousness into shamanic practice and merging the new awareness with the old ways. [25:42]Bringing shamanism to the western world: The tale of Michael Harner, an anthropologist who studied the headshrinkers and was invited to do a vision quest with them. [29:10]Rhythm is an important part of the shamanic journey because it transports us. Drumming gets us into that theta trance space without the use of illicit drugs. [31:07]The three worlds: Why you would go there and what kind of work you would do there? [36:39]You can sit with the rock people and listen to their stories. Same with the stars and the animals. They all have something unique to teach you. The Earth NEEDS more people who can connect with the Nature Spirits again. [40:33]The shamanic path and soul retrieval: “I don’t think people understand what WHOLE means.” [50:16]Kim’s new apprenticeship program begins in January. In it, she teaches how to connect with the ancestors of the land, how to work with the medicine wheel, symbolism and animal communication, and the survival archetypes of energy. [55:55]Pilgrimage + Shamanism = the fastest path to transformation.

#45 Light vs Dark: The Energy Battle with Lobsterbird in Bali

12/7/2018
Your Creative Sparks: Energy itself exists on the SPECTRUM OF POLARITIES.LIGHT and ENLIGHTENMENT is our inherent nature - and the end goal.So long as we do not accept that DARK ENERGIES EXIST, we do not have THE AGENCY OF CHOICE.We have to attend to OUR OWN INNER DEMONS, or else the outer ones can get in. The battle is real. A rather rude awakening in Mongolia initiates Lobsterbird into the realm of shadow entities and dark matter. Four months later, after the tutelage of an Ipsissimus named Stephen Templar, she begins to break her silence. Join us in Bali, as the sultry wind whispers gently through a lush garden. The plants send their tropical greeting and big, leafy protection, inviting you to pull up a lounge underneath the mango tree. Listen... as we talk to you today about the glory and the gory. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Her firm belief: we are able to co-create our reality from the quantum field, *everything* we see around us, including the things we would label good or bad. Her focus thus far has been on light energy, until... [4:01]We can see the darkness within ourselves. It comes out in our neurosis, pathos, our habits and patterns that we can’t quite seem to break, and the way we feel just darn crappy sometimes. [9:00]If energy is the source of all that manifests into matter, what does it mean that there is light and dark energy?[10:55]Ants bite. They aren’t entities or demons, but they do bite. Annnnd that’s kind of how dark energies express themselves too. [13:00]A story of serendipity: How Lobsterbird meets the Templars. [15:40]“If I am going to participate as a warrior of light, then I need some freaking help!” [20:00]Stephen Templar, a practicing magi and demonologist for decades, ushers her in. [24:04]“You have the markings of lemurian crystal engraved into your back.” [27:37]The Chödpractice in Canyon de Chelley - when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. [29:49]If you call yourself a lightworker… are you working with the full scope? If we are going to defeat the forces of dark/evil, we have to work with both sides. [35:31]It’s not everyone’s calling to be an energy worker and take on the demon army. [40:04]PRACTICUM: What are you aligned to?

#44 Welcome to Bali-wood: Marieke Warmelink

11/30/2018
Your Creative Sparks: The POWER OF WOMEN: It’s a matter of SHOWING it, and SHOWCASING it, so it becomes an acceptance. Women must have AN ACCEPTED PLACE, so we don’t have to fight to have our power.Creativity is not just making art. Creativity is the CORE OF CREATION. It is your DRIVING FORCE. When that starts coming out, you start to live a different kind of life.How you can turn your CREATIVE FORCE into your PERSONAL MISSION. Join us in the wonderful land of Bali, where the power of Nature is very strong in the language of storms and earthquakes and volcanoes. The moon, the sun, the heat, the animals, the insects - they are all very present here. Our Lobsterbird meandered along the back streets and got lost to find this wonderful porch-pavillion portal, in the middle of the rice fields. Here she meets Marieke Warmelink, a Balinese transplant, painter and filmmaker, who teaches us the secret to creating a life of purpose and passion. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Marieke is a producer of short films, which she uses as a platform to give voice to silent women. Her unique style of filmmaking finds her “interfering in reality” vs interviewing people in the more frequently used documentary format. Thus, Marieke is creating art that actually changes reality and produces surprising outcomes. [1:41]How Marieke learned to follow her own voice, to connect deeper with her intention, and to bring that intention out more in her work, voicing other women’s voices, inspiring each other, and creating a special bond in that process. [8:00]Why women’s power so important for the world RIGHT NOW. And how it’s more possible NOW than ever before for women who want to be courageous, to follow their dream, and to share their voice.[12:23]Marieke was once dominated by the idea that her life was somehow fated to be a certain way. Learn how the inclusive philosophy of Japanese Buddhism became a powerful core in her life, helping her see new possibilities, become more connected to her intuition, and understand that she can create a life that she wants and can enjoy - and that the most beautiful things in life are also for you. [15:15]Bali is on a specific layline and draws a specific energy, and women are being called here. It has a strong, fertile energy, a place known for healing. It attracts people who want to work with that kind of energy. [21:55]Marieke explains how your creative energy can open your desire to explore and be more playful instead of living a life that is planned and rigid and safe. Once you introduce that to your life, you are inviting an energy that is new and very spontaneous. This is a shift that more and more people are yearning to make. [25:15]How can you turn your creative force into your personal mission? [29:00]Do this one practical, magical thing and you will learn how to start following your heart! [33:00]Time has to do with priority. YOU ARE NEVER TOO BUSY, because you created that yourself. [37:30]Don’t mistake what it means to care for someone. Caring for someone isn’t necessarily helping them FEEL better. It’s helping them GROW better. You can inspire people by doing what you love to do. [39:09] Links and resources: Are you ready to do what you love? To have a free and playful mind? To feel motivated, strong, healthy, connected and fulfilled?

10/19/2018
Your Creative Sparks: Sumi says we should accept what life gives us. Except she wants Korean food. It’s hard to accept American food.Is there a problem praying to Buddha AND Jesus? Sumi says, no problem!Sumi says one lie never stays one lie. It always grows. After driving solo across the country, traveling around the world, going on pilgrimage in Mongolia and Canyon de Chelly, Lobsterbird returns to her childhood home in southern NJ. She’s been on a hero’s journey. She has witnessed and experienced a lot of darkness. Her illusions of reality have been completely shattered. “Who do I trust? What is it that I believe in?” She felt at a loss, so she prayed. And the answer to her prayer was standing in the kitchen. The inimitable Sumi, who Sophia simply calls, Mom. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Sumi says: Life is like a roller coaster. Nothing goes smoothly. It goes up, down, up, down. That’s the rule. Can you make your life better? If you can make yourself better, yes. [5:40]A focal point of Sophia’s pilgrimage in Mongolia was ancestral healing. Sumi says: Her heart still aches over what happened to her mother.

#37 Your Sphere of Influence with Photographer/Videographer/Mermaid Jenn Reid

10/12/2018
Your Creative Sparks: A change agent must be VISIBLE - YOUR STORY must be TOLD. If not, there is a whole world that is not being served.Discrimination and the “don’t rock the boat” syndrome. The boat is broken, people!We can do as much for the WOMEN’S MOVEMENT by raising empowered, aware men. In Washington DC, Mermaid slaps her tail on the water. Magnificent ripples travel out into the ether, and all of the fish feel her power moving. Your friendly neighborhood Lobsterbird joins forces with Jenn Reid in an epic journey to dismantle the patriarchal world of audio/visual and revolutionize reality TV. With great power comes great responsibility. We must all face great challenges in order to get to the moment of magic. Join the casting call, and prepare to make your move - and move this planet. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Lobsterbird first met Jenn Reid at the Author’s Castle. Jenn was responsible for photographing the red carpet launch for the latest crop of bestselling books, taking headshots of the new authors, providing promotional images to support their marketing efforts, and capturing the magic of the launch day. [1:52]MicroLesson One: Everyone tries to talk themselves out of their true calling. Jenn’s tenacity scores an opportunity to work with Lobsterbird on location in Tulum, Mexico. [5:30]Jenn became an Audio/Visual technician in the late 90s - twenty years ago, before the birth of the internet. There were no cell phones. She worked with real film. She was good with technology. She likes to “master the machines.” Here she was in a man’s world. But she was determined to find her place in it. [10:10]MicroLesson Two: Everything we’ve done leads up to what we were meant to do. Jenn was the first female A/V technician for a “major organization”. What looked like a prestigious appointment to the outside world exposed her to a hidden world of rampant, overt discrimination and corruption in the realm of power and authority and status. [18:22]I was treated in a way that they didn’t treat the men. Very inappropriate things were said and done to me. There was no hashtag for this, no #metoo movement. Jenn was a forerunner. She wanted to be bigger than that. “I told myself, ‘This is how it is, Jenn. If you want to be here, you just have to deal with it.’” But she started to buckle under the pressure. [23:26]She reached her breaking point, but she met her husband there. And she decided to devote herself to creating a loving family environment instead. MicroLesson Three: The divine feminine is the energy of creation and nurturing. [28:49]Teaser alert: What question did Jenn’s oldest son ask that finally blew her out of the water? MicroLesson Four: We can overcompensate from one side to the other and get out of balance. [34:24]Events were calling her, and Jenn said Yes. An event has an energy. It has movement. It is fluid and dynamic, and Jenn can dance with it and capture it exquisitely. [39:00]MicroLesson Five: Everything comes back around when you surrender. Lobsterbird and Jenn are now collaborating to accomplish a bigger purpose - to redefine Reality TV. “We want to document the transformation that takes place on pilgrimage, and we want to showcase the women who are emerging as the new spiritual leaders.” MicroLesson Six: Stop doubting your power, potential and purpose! [42:45]They will be recording and producing the pilot during the upcoming November pilgrimage in Bali! The Casting Call is NOW until 10/20/18. If you consider yourself a spiritual leader, artist, healer, or creative - a movement maker ready to step into your light - we want to connect with YOU. Email us at magic@Lobsterbird.com.
