Introduction to the Podcast

Listen to "Living Mandala Podcast - Episode 1 - Tuesday, July 11, 2023 - Introductions" on Spreaker.
In this, the inaugural episode of the Living Mandala Podcast, I muse informally on starting such a thing, my motivation and using the metaphysical name 'Aurah' to express myself with.

Possible topics that I reference in this episode might include:
  • A 9-part series on the chakras of the house and how to clear and work with them as they correspond back to the chakras of the body.
  • A room-by-room feng shui  inspection for the average home. Things to think about and make adjustments with.
  • Divination techniques I work with (and have been dutifully tracking) for many years like oracle cards, Runes, pendulums and divining rods.
  • Alignment with the higher order and working with planetary days, what colors to wear and how these can be used as a "hack" to upgrade your lived mandala.
  • Kitchen alchemy - collaborate with my chef husband on the very best ways to organize and shop for super healthy eating.
