The FlameWalker Podcast with Kaleah

Grief is a normal human response to loss in one’s life.  This is why Elizabeth Kubler Ross came up with the five stages of grief.  She wanted people who are grieving to understand that it is “normal” to react with different emotions such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.  In this episode of Pandora’s Box, Kaleah talks about the grief that is typical when coming out of a narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationship and how the grief can be intensified when you realize you are the only one grieving the loss.

What do you do when it seems there is nothing more you can do?  You have tried everything you know and are at the end of your rope.  In this episode Kaleah talks about the power of prayer to heal any situation and bring about the highest and the best outcome for all concerned.  She will be looking at how to address feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and loss of faith.

In this episode of Pandora's Box Kaleah and Anah Maa talk about Feminine Power and how important it is for women to know where their power comes from and how to use it for good in their life and the lives of those around them. This is a pre-recorded episode that has been edited due to some technical difficulty.  The first time in my five year radio career that I've had so much technical difficulty and look at the topic?

If you have studied personal or spiritual growth you have likely heard about the law of attraction and also “The Mirror Effect.”  The Law of Attraction tells us we create the circumstances of our lives based on different internal factors such as what we believe, what we feel and where we are energetically.  The Mirror Effect tells us that our relationships and circumstances in life are reflecting to us our beliefs, feelings or energetic  vibrations.  If we are unsatisfied with our relationships or circumstances in life it might be beneficial to look more closely at these reflections and see what they are showing us.  In this episode of Pandora’s Box Kaleah delves deeply into the topic of “The Mirror Effect” to help you explore what is in your “shadow” that might be attracting the unpleasant life circumstances you are struggling with.  Understanding the mirror can help you to know yourself on greater levels and know where you need to grow.  Kaleah will be opening the lines for callers the last segment of the show.

We will be interviewing Ross Bishop, author of the insightful book "Healing the Shadow." Healing The Shadow is about helping people heal their inner woundedness and step into the light. It brings into a modern context, thousands of years of shamanic healing practice.

Last month Kaleah and Anah Maa dug deeply into the trenches of what it means to be authentic, true to yourself, what you feel, and what you want in life. This month we will dig even deeper or as is said "go even deeper into the rabbit hole" to discover the truth about who you are and the depth of the inner journey often required to get there. Becoming authentic isn't necessarily an easy process.  It can be one of the most difficult journeys of your life; because facing the truth about who you are also requires facing the lies.

In this episode of Pandora’s Box Kaleah and Anah Maa talk about being authentic with your feelings no matter what they are. A deeper look into feeling your anger, rage, and other feelings in a way that is “out of the box.” Lets get real! Lets be authentic with who we are and where we are at in our lives.

Why did you leave me is a question that comes up in a relationship with a significant other, with a parent or sibling and ultimately with God or the source of our existance.  In this episode of Pandora's Box, Kaleah delves into deep seated abandonment issues and why they can have such a deep and lasting impact on us.

Dr. Patricia Ariadne interviewed "everyday" people who have undergone profound periods of depression and despair triggered by many of the crises common to human life:  death of loved ones, divorce, illness, aging.  However, some of the crises she is encountering in her practice have been created by recent economic conditions, such as loss of home or a job.  Her contention is that this process is a essentially a spiritual process. If navigated correctly, it can bring about a  reorientation, a recognition of what is really important in life.  People can begin to re-prioritize what they give their time and attention to, as the things they thought they could depend on have failed them.  Trying to escape this meeting of the self through drugs, alcohol, sex, frantic activity, overwork, etc., does not work, because the void they have been trying to fill is a God-shaped hole. Dr. Ariadne's thesis is that through many of the difficulties we are currently facing, we are being forced to mature spiritually--this means learning more about ourselves, reconnecting to Spirit or Source, and giving back to our communities.

When you have experienced being devalued and discarded in your relationship it is easy to jump to the emotional conclusion that “it’s me! It’s my fault, I’m not good enough, I’m not enough” but what you might not realize is the person jumping ship is not bailing from you as much as he/she is bailing from his/her own pain. When a relationship progresses if you don’t have the tools to deal with conflict and to communicate openly and honestly there can be no resolution for issues and those issues will continue to expand until they destroy the relationship. Those who are narcissistic or don’t have any relationship skills will tend to project their repressed pain onto those closest to them and then disassociate from that person in attempt to disassociate from the pain. We may be under the impression that the one doing the devaluing and discarding isn’t feeling a thing, but it might be more that this person is running from his/her feelings.   You may end up feeling that you are carrying the “pain bag” and may even own the projections of the one running from pain. In this episode of Pandora’s Box we will shed light on what it might look like if someone you love has cut you off and how this may have absolutely nothing to do with you. You may simply be mirroring the pain of the person who is disassociating and really running from himself/herself.
