Things In Heaven And Earth
2014. My daughter is two years old. I am in my parents’ house with her in a small Turkish town visiting for the summer. She is still nursing and I am exhausted. One of my go to replenishments is reading. One night I finish reading Thomas Ashley Farrand’s book True Stories Of Spiritual Power. In it he talks about greeting a new born baby with the Jnana Mudra, the hand gesture of wisdom and the spiritual understanding that the Divine and you are one. The baby he meets for the first time puts her hands in this mudra for a few seconds. Thomas feels that this was his sign for proving him the existence of past lives and soul memory.
The next morning, my parents and I take my daughter to a public playground. As she climbs on the slide another little girl catches my eye. She is about 4 years old, gleefully lingering at the top of the slide. For an eternal moment, she looks deeply into my eyes, smiles, and holds her hand in jnana mudra. I smile back at her. In this little town where there has never been a yoga studio, this little being has just greeted me with the eternal sign of oneness. At that moment I am certain of two things: I have a soul connection with this being even though I have never seen her again, and to quote Shakespeare: there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy.

Laura Christine – Healing Through Fierce Boundaries
In this Conversations With Healers episode, my guest is Laura Christine, Healer, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Rune Reader, and the host of The Boundless Heart Podcast. Laura and I talked about:
- her healing story and what it feels like to be swimming in the winds of change,
- being authentic in setting boundaries and what it takes to be able to set boundaries,
- the ancient art of Rune reading and some of the myths you won’t find in Marvel movies,
- her podcast The Boundless Heart, which explores fierce living through authentic boundaries and female empowerment,
- her life in Hawaii,
- and more.
My favorite healing nugget from Laura is “The cultural and patriarchal programs (that lead us to believe what we want doesn’t matter) are really deep and it is up to us to get above and out of those patterns and programs.”
You can find out more about Laura and her work at her website and on Instagram. You can find her Rune reading insights on this Instagram page. Laura graciously offered a 20% off discount for your first rune reading or healing session with her. Just mention listening to this conversation when you get in touch with her.
