Halloween is way more than just costumes and candy; this ancient holiday is steeped in mystical tradition that dates back over 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain.

We have our go-to astrologer Stevie Calista here to discuss the deeper meaning and how it has morphed into modern day traditions.

We're diving deep into what it means when the "veil thins" and how this mystical time invites us to honor our ancestors, reflect on life cycles, and embrace personal transformation. Stevie also offers astrological insights for Scorpio season and what to expect as we move into November, including key cosmic shifts, like Pluto’s transition from Capricorn to Aquarius, that can influence your life.

If you've ever been curious about the origins of Halloween or how to align yourself with the season's spiritual energy, this episode is for you!

Topics Covered:

• The origin of Samhain and its connection to Halloween
• What it means when the "veil thins" and how to connect with ancestors
• The significance of Scorpio season and embracing shadow work
• Astrological insights for November, including key dates to watch
• Practical tips on how to honor this time of transition and deepen your spiritual practice

Astrological Highlights for November:

• November 1st: New Moon in Scorpio (a time for emotional renewal and deep intentions)
• November 7: True midpoint of Samhain—sun at 15 degrees Scorpio
• November 20: Pluto moves into Aquarius, ending its long Capricorn transit
• November 26: Mercury retrograde begins, encouraging reflection and slowing down

Looking for magic in your every day? You've found the right podcast episode! Today, in addition to Robyn and Karen, meet other key members of the Seeking Center Team, Lisa Capretto and Noel Kehoe, who are joining us in the spirit of Halloween and the magical energy that comes with this time of year! Together, they've found several simple spells that can bring more peace, protection, and clarity into your life.

And btw, what is a spell? A spell is typically understood as a set of words, gestures, or rituals believed to invoke supernatural powers to achieve a desired outcome. It has roots in many ancient traditions and is often associated with magic, witchcraft, and spiritual practices. In different cultures and throughout history, spells have been seen as a way to influence the physical world or manipulate unseen forces, often for healing, protection, love, or prosperity. In modern times, spells have taken on various forms depending on the belief system or spiritual path. Many contemporary practitioners see spells as a way to focus intention, aligning their will with spiritual or cosmic energies, which is how we’ll be using the spells we talk about today as symbolic acts that blend belief, intention, and ritual to harness energy toward specific outcomes, a practice that continues to evolve across cultures and belief systems.

Most of these can be used year-round, but we thought they’d be especially timely right now. So, what resonates with you? Whether you want to attract abundance, release old energy, or manifest more love in your life, there’s something for everyone!

As you celebrate this Halloween, maybe a little magic will make its way into your life too!

In the blink of an eye, life can change in ways we never see coming. One of our Seeking Center go-to guides, Animal Communicator and Spiritual Medium Jaime Breeze, recently faced a life-altering event when her home and almost everything she owned were lost in a forest fire. Her community of Jasper in the Canadian Rockies endured one of the area’s most significant fires in a century, leaving behind widespread destruction.

While Jaime's grief for "what was" is profound, her resilience and unwavering faith are nothing short of inspiring. Her journey of navigating sudden change and loss can offer a fresh perspective on how we face challenges in our own lives.

Whether you’ve experienced a personal upheaval or simply struggled with unexpected shifts, Jaime’s story offers insights into finding strength when life feels uncertain.

We love discovering new ways to heal and introducing them to all of you. And we are especially in awe when someone takes it upon themselves to do something that's never been before.

Meet Cara Lindell. She is the Founder of The Bridging Institute and the Bridging® Technique, based upon her unique background as a systems engineer and a movement specialist -- yes we said SYSTEMS ENGINEER! Bridging uses the physics of the body to relieve pain, balance, coordination, anxiety, and/or developmental delays. The Bridging technique uses gentle micro-movements and stretches to quickly reset your body’s invisible movement foundation so you can thrive at any age.

Cara developed this approach based upon Physics and Systems Engineering concepts. She also integrates her functional movement expertise and experience as a mom of two children with developmental and health gaps. Cara has a BS and MS degree in Engineering, and is certified in the General and Advanced Movement Assessment by the Prechtl General Movements Trust which is used to screen at-risk infants for neurological development. She is also a certified Medical Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer with the American Council on Exercise.

Robyn had the privilege of experiencing the Bridging technique. She says, yes there is physics and engineering involved...and there is absolutely some energy work, aka as magic, as well. Whether or not Cara says this, in Robyn's opinion, Cara is a healing practitioner on top of all the science involved. It's unbelievable. She doesn't even have to touch you!

We'll do our best to explain -- and also discuss all of the ways this technique can be used...in addition to the inspiration of following a knowing to develop something completely new.

After facing multiple overlapping family health disasters in early 2021, Raina Kumra Gardiner set out to find a better way to integrate healthy, healing foods into the meals we eat. She grew up with Ayurveda and learned from her mother and grandmother that the first stop when illness strikes isn’t the drug store - it's the spice drawer. When she had her first child in 2013, she went back to deploying the power of the pantry and making plant-based medicine at home.

Raina had a great multi-decade career spanning tech, media, investing, and government. And throughout that time, functional medicine was something that called her. And, perhaps for the first time since childhood, she decided to listen.

She began formally studying plant medicine and the impact that food has on our ability to fend off chronic disease. The further she researched the more she realized that our entire food and health system was broken.

At her core, Raina is problem-solver and movement-builder, and she set out to fix this at scale. Raina believes that food is medicine and she founded and launched her company Spicewell to bring function to your pantry, and help you close the nutrient gaps in your and your family’s diet.

She’s started a movement and a business to move better eating forward – and to bring you the smartest, healthiest food. Whether you’re curious about Ayurveda, looking to improve your wellness, or want to understand the deeper issues within the food industry, this episode is packed with practical insights and powerful lessons.

Have you ever found yourself thinking – how did I get HERE? As if your life was supposed to be something different? You did all the so-called “right things,” and yet you woke up one day and felt lost…even despair.

If this is you, you are not alone. So many people are walking through life feeling this way.

One such person, who most people would never have expected to feel this way is teacher, author and founder of the Full Bloomed Lotus Center for Self-Awareness, Ramaa Krishnan. Born and raised in India, Ramaa developed a deep spiritual perspective on life and her role in the world. She focused on studying and sharing meditation and mindfulness teachings and has become a pillar of wisdom within the Chicagoland area.

And yet, Ramaa encountered a challenging chapter in her life that led her to question her beliefs and to dig deeper to understand what it truly means to live a life of faith beyond traditional practices.

What came out of this difficult time are insights to help others embark on their own transformative journey. She captures many of them in her new book, The Yoga of Self-Love. Ramaa shares her intimate and profoundly human story of self-discovery and healing, with a narrative that unfolds into an exploration of the human psyche and the universal quest for happiness. Drawing from her own experiences and revelations gleaned from spiritual teachings and psychological principles, Ramaa Krishnan helps you navigate the complexities of life's stages, from the struggles of youth to the depths of midlife crisis. She aims to help you reclaim your authentic self.

Whether you're facing the struggles of midlife or navigating the challenges of personal growth, Ramaa is here to offer you solace, guidance, and deeper self-understanding.
