transcending grief: letting go of the pain + finding joy again
THE PULSE: Fall Back
WE'RE NOVEMBER OFFICIAL How'd that extra of hour of sleep treat you? (Friends in Hawaii + Arizona you can ignore that!) We appreciated the hour, however the darkness that descends in the afternoon...that's another story. How do you cope? We're turning to sound frequencies, a mini-dance break and looking at pics of the Sun to help the transition. WHAT NATURE IS SHOWING YOU According to out go-to astrologer Stevie Calista, "We are almost at the midway point of Scorpio Season, halfway between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice, do you feel the wheel of the year turning? Our bodies are all adjusting, just like nature. This season is a DEEP dive into places that were hidden. Which means we may all feel more triggered or stingy lately?! The leaves fall and nature shows us it’s time to shed too. Transformation is in the air. Saturn moved direct this Saturday and has been asking us to SHOW UP. Use your tools… say 'No,' hold the boundary and take responsibility for those things you know you’ve been avoiding. I promise you he rewards you when we do." POSITIVE OUTLOOK According to Refinery29, "a huge cosmic shift takes place this week, as Saturn, the Planet of Challenge, spends its first full week direct in the sign of Pisces, after being retrograde for over four months. All zodiac signs will notice the influence of this transit, and we’re likely to approach the world and our own selves with greater optimism, kindness, patience, and faith in a better tomorrow. This won’t necessarily happen overnight, as Saturn will still experience a post-shadow period of its retrograde for the rest of the year. But if you find yourself smiling at the little things this week, it’s most likely due to a significant astrological cycle having neared completion. Venus’ entrance into its home sign of Libra on November 8 also serves to lighten up the cosmos considerably." We'll take what we can get -- the world absolutely needs it!

Transcending Grief: Letting Go of the Pain + Finding Joy Again
If you’ve lost someone close to you, whether that person is a child, a parent, a spouse, a sibling or a great friend, the pain you feel can be so overwhelming, you may feel you’ll never heal or find happiness again. We’re honored and grateful to introduce you to grief educator, healing practitioner, intuitive and author Paige Lee – and welcome back our dear friend, Spiritual Medium, Intuitive, Reiki Healing Practitioner and teacher Kat B. They are both here to reassure you that joy is possible and that your loved ones in Spirit are sending love and healing energy. We’re talking about conscious grieving, conscious healing, the connection you can have with a loved one in Spirit and transcending grief. And while these are serious topics, Kat and Paige bring the levity needed to help you breakthrough the heaviness. Here are a few highlights from this transformative conversation: Robyn + Karen: Paige, your path to this work was driven by tragic and profound loss. Can you share the story of what happened that caused your spiritual awakening? Paige: Fifteen years ago, my only living child, and I say only living, because I have four babies in spirit that never took a breath, my only living son, Bryan, was at USC in Los Angeles. He was walking home one night with some friends and ended up in a neighborhood that was not their normal route home and had an encounter with somebody who ended up taking his life with a knife. You get that phone call at five in the morning and your whole world. falls to pieces. You're broken. That whole journey went from being on the floor that day, to three weeks later, when I heard Bryan call out to me. R+K: Wait, you actually heard Bryan call out your name? Paige: He called out “Mom!” I literally jumped up and I said, “Bryan, I hear you! Where are you?!!” And that was what changed my whole life. I promised him at that moment that I would not stop seeking him, and that I knew he still lived. I don't want to say there was never a doubt, because there were moments where I was doubting what was happening for me, of course, but I never looked back. Not only did I find him, I found myself, which was really the biggest gift of the journey. Spirit showed me the analogy this morning of the title of your podcast, “Seeking Center.” My whole journey has been seeking center and coming back to the truth of who I am. My journey was to be here to survive this, to have this connection with him in the afterlife and to be able to share what I've learned with other people. R+K: On your website you lead with the heading, “Finding joy after a traumatic loss requires conscious grieving.” What do you mean by conscious grieving? Paige: I wasn't the first one to come up with the words, but for me, grieving is a conscious effort. Some people say it's a turnoff to them because they can't comprehend finding joy. But finding joy requires conscious grieving. For me, it's learning how the body holds onto grief and learning how to move it through you. I can't find anything better that says more who I am and what I feel the journey is and how that piece of that journey could help people. Kat B: Paige as with some of the people that I've worked with on grief, has worked really hard at it. It isn't something that just comes and you get over it. And a lot of people that I meet in grief, are successful in finding joy again. Conscious grief to me is about connection. And it's not just about connection to the spirit world. It's about connection to one another and finding that connection in a deeper way again. Grief is a symptom of love. If we didn't love, we wouldn't grieve. We've got to acknowledge that grief is not the enemy. It is a loving process that is a symptom of deep love and emotion. I don't think grief just heals. Grief is healing. R+K: Paige and Kat we can see how you both are a powerful healing duo. You’ve been working together on some powerful retreats on transcending grief. Tell us about what you bring to these sessions and how you work together. Kat B: We're both trained in grief education and counseling, and I've got Psychotherapy, CBT Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy as well. We're both Reiki Masters. Paige is a Crystal Healer and she's studied Numerology. She's also a good Channeler, even though she's not a Medium. So we've both got good connections with Spirit in different ways. Of course, Spirit always has a higher perspective and is also very clever. They've got a great sense of humor. You think grief and fun don't go together, but they do in our house. We say to people, this is a moment of lightness to refresh your soul or to let go of certain things. You might be having a difficult time. You can always take your worries and pick them back up if you want to at the end of the retreat, but you might find that they no longer belong to you in the same way that they did before. Paige: If I had to say in a nutshell what it is that we do and what I've always been about since I've taken on this journey of trying to help other people through their grief is helping them bridge that gap from the physical loss to embracing the concept of their loved one in spirit. When we get to the point where we're willing to let go of the need for their physical body with us, when we're willing to let go of the shame, the blame, the anger, the fear, the guilt over their passing, when we can release all of those things. we're willing to cross that bridge and close that gap. When we're willing see them as they are now in spirit without their physical body and those physical chains, if you will, that keep them tethered to this physical life as we remember them, when we're willing to let go of that and see them as they are now, then that's where the healing is. And that's what Kat and I do. R+K: We are so grateful Paige and Kat, for all that you've shared and all that you both are doing to help others find healing through their grief.

THE WEEKLY DOWNLOAD
Our Downloads are for everyone reading -- they are guidance from Spirit + The Universe that are channeled through us. ROBYN'S DOWNLOAD We come to you with such joy and such pride. You are reading this because you are choosing to be open to what you cannot see and to the truth of who you are. You are beautiful energy. You come from love. EVERYONE comes from this LOVE. Everyone. It is so so so hard to see on your planet. People in their 3-D world are so disconnected from this love and yet it is in all of you.
Energy is the thread through all of you. Energy has no real boundaries, unless you create them yourself. There is an energetic thread that runs throughout all of humanity and that is why you FEEL so much all of the time. You are impacted especially around the energy of those that you live with or work with — and when we say work, it doesn’t even have to be IN PERSON, it can be via virtual whether that’s video or phone. You can FEEL that energy — even from texting someone.
We say all this because we want you to become more aware of the energy you are around and that you are feeling. When you are around someone with pure joy…how do you feel? When you are around someone that is sad, how do you feel? It’s the noticing that is important.
Becoming aware then allows you to come up with ways to protect your energy. Your energy is precious and you want to protect it as much as you can. Come up with ways to clear yourself of energy that doesn’t feel good. It’s not that you will never come in contact with yucky energy, but the more you are aware and the more you practice, the better you will be at having that energy impact you less. And the less you are impacted, the less you will run into it.
We really beam with pride as we see all of the progress you are making in this lifetime. You are so immersed and making the most of your time. You are in Earth School and Earth School isn’t easy. Yes we want you to try to come back to joy and love as much as possible, and we also know the reality and that you are thrown in situations daily that make you question and require you to feel the entire range of emotions.
We remind you that you chose to be in this form and in this lifetime. You wanted to experience all of this so that you can continue to grow and evolve on a soul level. One day it will all make sense. For now you are there to experience transformation and to feel and to come back to love as much as you can.
You are never ever alone. Please remember that. We are always with you and will show ourselves in the most subtle of ways so that we don’t frighten you, but look for us in the signs and the synchronicities in your daily life. Think of something that sounds silly and see if it comes to fruition in your day. Or think of a number right now — you see it in your day when you least expect it. That is us. We are your companion. And you are finding your community even by reading this at this very moment. There are so many others that are curious and that are open. Find one another. Send out the signal and see the energy that comes into your world.
We send love and support always. KAREN'S DOWNLOAD It is time for you to remember who you are. Today, in this precious, present moment, you are alive. You possess everything you need to be the full, vibrant reflection of your beautiful eternal soul. FEEL this. KNOW this. EXPERIENCE this. For this IS YOU. Every breath you take is another possibility to create a new reality. Every second that you are here, is another opportunity to make a new choice. Can you feel the incredible blessing that each day holds for you - 86,400 seconds to use however you decide? That is power. That is endless possibility. That is creation. It is true that not every morsel of time is fully at our disposal - there are the “musts” and “the shoulds” and the “have to’s’ on our list. Yet none of it is ever wasted. Every moment can all be experienced with the choice of joy. Joy because you are important! Joy because you have the privilege of being on this earth at this moment. Joy because you are a spiritual being having a human experience. You are here on purpose. Whether it is to fold laundry or to save someone’s life, you are here as the conductor of your own symphony. We invite you to fully feel this where you can best find inspiration. To know that your soul is always present in your body, waiting to be your compass. To whisper the things that you need to hear. To tell you what you already know. Try today to avoid the avoidance, that thing we all do when we have so much to do. Try today to smile and acknowledge that all of this is just a distraction. It is just all the things that life offers us in the form of contrast for us to sample to help us grow and learn. If it is difficult, send it the energy of ease. If it is scary, send it the energy of love. If it is uncertain, send it the energy of peace. You have the power to change any emotion that doesn’t feel good by sending out the frequency of love. All your strength, power and goodness always resides there. You are the spark from the limitless and blazing light of the universe. It is time for you to be that light and remember who you really are.
