Divine Origins (with Ariela) Lotus Transformation with guest Christine Winebrenner

The lotus is considered divine and one of nature’s mystical creations, that represents the purity of the mind and soul. It defines the capacity of the soul to expand and embrace the beauty of life with a clear conscience. The lotus flower sheds its seeds and blooms at the same time. This magnificent flower emerges from the dirty and unclean bottom of a pond, but still remains untouched and unstained by the dirt and mud surrounding it in the pond. This unique quality of the flower is believed to represent pure spirit, rebirth, beauty, fertility, transcendence, and resurrection. The lotus bud is compared with a folded heart or soul, which has the ability to blossom or awaken to realize the divine truth. This symbolizes the journey from the darkness of ignorance to the light or spiritual illumination. The lotus journey can also be equated to sisterhood and supporting each other on our spiritual journeys, whether they are within our own bodies, or even out in the world.  

My next guest, Christine Winebrenner Irick, knows the lotus journey, and has experienced the lotus transformation within her own soul as well as leading women in their own journeys around the globe.  I am so excited to share with you Chrisitne’s unique journey and how she came to connect communities of women and scattered around the world.

• The beauty of taking a journey both inside and outside of yourself 

• Everyday tips and tools to journey in the comfort of your own home and space

• How to trust in the inner voice that calls you to do brave things

• Find your purpose even in difficult times

The Soul's Curriculum

Everything within the universe is evolving and that includes human beings. We are here to evolve, to grow, and ultimately to graduate from this school we call life. Just like in school, those who do the work matriculate, moving on to “higher” education. However, those that just squeak by, or don’t do the work, or worst of all lie, cheat and fake their way through the system have to pay the price such as  “afterlife detention”  or return and repeat the educational process all over again.

Join Ariela and Baruch in this important and illuminating conversation about the Soul’s Curriculum, learn your lessons, ace your tests and graduate!

Divine Origins (with Ariela) Loving Your Body is a Spiritual Journey with guest Amanda Testa

For many midlife women, it is a rocky relationship that feels separated, disconnected, and discouraging. Embodiment and owning our sexuality is an invitation to dive into the separation and finally to explore why you may have been living from the neck up most of your life, and carrying around a body that may feel like unfeeling armor. Traumas, wounds, and life transitions may also be causing you to feel like your body has a mind of its own and you have zero control.

As life changes, so will your body. This is an intense period of loss; loss of the body you once had, but also loss of the relationship to your body that now must change. Perhaps you are having an internal uprising, perhaps a vague sense of restlessness, or even a loud eruptive desire to break away, and an internal voice that demands, “There must be more than this body and this life!” Many women feel stressed, burnt out more often than not, chronic exhaustion, weight gain, and an inner voice that is desperately telling you that you and your body are not enough. Perhaps you are finding yourself at war not only with your body but with yourself. 

My next guest Amanda Testa, wants you to stop feeling like an imposter in your own body, and your life, and she wants you to find that fire and ignite the flames inside of you so you can feel alive, embodied, tuned in and turned on. 

In this podcast you will learn:

• Ancient, yet realistic tools to invite pleasure into your life today

• How to honor your voice and your body as you age

• Tips to embody, using your chakras and exploring the lower chakras as a journey to healing and awakening

• How to ignite the flames inside of you so you can feel alive
• Secrets to loving the skin you are in and finally feel at home in your body

Amanda Testa, is a Sex, Love, and Relationship Expert + Trauma Resolution Guide who works with busy professional women and couples to feel incredible in their skin, tap into abundant energy, take sex from a "to do" to something they look forward to, and enjoy better connection and fulfillment in their relationships.  She’s also a mama to a gorgeous 8 yo girl, wife to her sexy hubs, and the host of the Find Your Feminine Fire podcast.  

Her methods bridge ancient tools combined with the latest in neuroscience and somatic healing to facilitate rapid and lasting transformation.

Soul Cinema: What Dreams May Come

Soul Cinema is a podcast and video joint program with Rebecca Rosen and Soul Centered, showcasing popular movies, centered around particular soul themes. Oftentimes when we are contemplating and exploring spirituality and mystical ideas, we need clear, concrete images and roadmaps to help us navigate these esoteric, hard to grasp concepts.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then a movie is worth 1000 lectures. When it comes to the soul, the soul's journey to this world, through this world, and back again, movies are an amazing resource to help deepen our understanding; and c'mon, movies are just so much fun!

The Meaning of Money: It’s A Means Not And End

What is money?

Seriously, let’s stop and really think it through. It’s not simply green bills with dead presidents folded in your wallet. It’s more than just decimals on a ledger or pixels on your computer screen. It’s energy, a means to something more and we need to remember what this means, that it is a means and ultimately that money is always a means to an end. Join Baruch HaLevi as he interviews financial expert Michael Finer, CEO of Finer Wealth Management, in this important conversation about the meaning of money.

Soul Cinema: Defending Your Life & Living Your Soul Contract

Thanks for joining us for our ongoing series, Soul Cinema, a joint program with Rebecca Rosen and Soul Centered, showcasing popular movies, centered around particular soul themes.

This week’s featured film is, “Defending Your Life” According to many mystical traditions, each of us has a soul and our soul contracted to incarnate into our particular life with all of its nuances and details. The work of our life is to complete our unique curriculum, and at the end of our life, to “pass” our life review in front of the tribunal of elders on high. This life review is the determining factor whether we matriculate to the “next grade,” or return to repeat the school of life. In the end, as Defending Your Life so beautifully illustrates, it’s not about judgment; it’s about growth through facing and overcoming our fears.
