Using Crystals for Psychic Protection with Nicholas Pearson

Send Us a Message!As the summer solstice illuminates our longest days, Christine Renee and Shantel Ochoa share an intimate, unscripted conversation about finding light during challenging times. The pair explore the revolutionary power of joy as a response to global difficulties. "We are not meant to match fear with fear," Shantel reflects, suggesting that our most powerful contribution might be cultivating our own inner light. Christine builds on this, describing her vision of personal revolution through radical self-healing and authentic expression.One particularly fascinating thread explores how we might transform our relationship with our senses. Drawing from her Tantra experience, Christine challenges traditional Buddhist views that our senses lead to suffering: "What if the senses were a pathway to your bliss?" This perspective shift opens exciting possibilities for experiencing ecstasy through breathwork, movement, and sound—techniques that both hosts incorporate into their Shamanic Reiki practices.In today's episode, we cover: Joy as a revolutionary response to global fearInner light as a personal contribution to the worldConnection to nature (e.g., waterfalls, barefoot grounding)Simple spiritual practices (e.g., thunder water, herb gardens)Senses as pathways to bliss vs. sufferingTantra techniques for ecstasy: breathwork, movement, soundEmphasis on individual paths over rigid spiritual modelsEncouragement of consistent small practices for big shiftsSoul Rising program and spiritual self-discoveryReady to awaken to the whispers of wisdom rising from within?

Send Us a Message!What happens when sacred energy meets sexuality? In today's episode, Christine shares about one of her passion topics as she unpacks the ethical boundaries of Reiki practice while exploring its untapped potential for sexual healing and pleasure. Note: This episode comes with a trigger warning for sexuality and sexual assault.In this conversation, Christine opens a door many practitioners keep firmly shut: the beautiful potential when Reiki and sexuality connect in consensual, equal-power relationships. Through her passionate advocacy for ethical practice, she creates a clear contrast between what's appropriate in professional settings versus intimate relationships. She invites listeners to consider how energy work can enhance sensual experiences, especially when beginning with self-pleasure practices. She also explores:The intersection of sacred energy and sexualityEthical boundaries in Reiki practiceThe importance of consent and power dynamicsDifferentiating professional vs. intimate energy workPotential of Reiki in consensual, intimate relationshipsUse of energy work to enhance sensuality and self-pleasureAwakening to your Inner LoverChristine’s personal healing from sexual traumaDeveloping healthy boundaries and inner balanceRole of self-love and conscious sexuality in healingAnd more!Whether you're recovering from sexual trauma, exploring energy work, or simply curious about conscious sexuality, Christine offers practical wisdom about self-knowledge, boundary-setting, and the revolutionary power of radical self-love.Moon Rising Shamanic Institute Links:Website: https://moonrisinginstitute.com/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/moonrisinginstituteFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/moonrisingmysticsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonrising.instituteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@moonrisinginstituteSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://moonrisinginstitute.kit.com/spiritguide Book a session with Isabel: https://calendly.com/into-the-deep/scheduleBook a FREE 15 minute connect call with Izzy: https://calendly.com/moonrisinginstitute/connect Book a session with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/90-minutes-intensiveBook a FREE 10 minute connect call with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/10-minute-connect-call-srpt

Send Us a Message!Dive into the profound world of Reiki Fusion with Christine and Shantel as they explore the balance between Masculine and Feminine energies in our Reiki practice. The conversation illuminates how Reiki itself embodies both energies—its essence is inherently feminine, flowing like water, while its teaching structure provides the masculine container that allows it to be shared and practiced systematically.Yet many practitioners struggle with finding balance, either clinging to rigid protocols or abandoning structure entirely for intuitive flow. Christine invites us to consider: What if the hand positions and symbols we've been taught are simply "training wheels" until we learn to dance with the energy authentically?This exploration extends beyond Reiki technique into how we live our daily lives. Along the way, we cover:The inspiring story behind the term Reiki fusionWhy balancing feminine flow and masculine structure can deepen your energy workA powerful insight Christine received on Mount Kurama—where Reiki beganHow Reiki naturally blends intuition and structure (and why that matters)Common struggles practitioners face in their practiceReframing hand positions and symbols as "training wheels"How this energy balance plays out in everyday life—especially for womenSimple ways to return to center when you're feeling out of syncA look into Christine’s upcoming Reiki Master Teacher Training (East meets West)How to find your unique, authentic Reiki pathAnd more!There's no single "correct" way to practice Reiki—what matters is finding your authentic balance between structure and flow, tradition and intuition, boundaries and receptivity.

Send Us a Message!The sacred tree has fallen, but the wellspring flows on. Could this be nature's message about the future of Reiki?When Christine returned to Mount Kurama in Japan for her second pilgrimage, she wasn't expecting to witness a profound metaphor about energy practices worldwide. Standing at the birthplace of Reiki, Christine observed how a precise typhoon had taken down only the sacred masculine symbol—a centuries-old Kami tree—while leaving the companion feminine symbol—an ever-flowing spring—completely untouched.Christine's insights illuminate a potential evolution in Reiki practice—what she calls "Reiki Fusion"—honoring the traditional structure while embracing intuitive flow. Her journey challenges us to reconsider whether our spiritual practices have overemphasized masculine energy (structure, hierarchy, perfection) while neglecting the feminine (intuition, inner wisdom, natural flow). In today's episode, we cover:The highlights of Christine's Pilgrimage to the birthplace of ReikiHow the Buddhist roots of Reiki transformed Christine's perspectiveExploring spiritual balance between structure and flowComparing this trip to Christine's first pilgrimageContrast between mainland Japan temples and Okinawan forests The stark contrast between masculine and feminine energiesWhy we need to embrace our intuition and inner wisdomPersonal transformation through nature and travelFall of the sacred tree on Mount Kurama as a metaphor for energy shiftsCall to balance tradition with authentic self-expressionReady to discover what happens when we honor both the structure and the flow in our Reiki practice?

Send Us a Message!What if everything you thought you knew about Reiki was just scratching the surface? In this eye-opening conversation, Isabel and Shantel explore the profound spiritual threshold that Reiki represents—far beyond its common reputation as simply a healing modality.Drawing from their extensive experience as practitioners and teachers, they challenge the widespread misconception that Reiki is a separate healing energy that can be turned on and off. Instead, they reveal its true nature as the universal life force energy that constitutes everything in existence. This fundamental shift in perspective explains why so many spiritual seekers report Reiki as their first meaningful catalyst for deeper awakening.In this episode, we explore:🌕 What 'Universal Life Force' really means🌖 Reiki as more than a healing energy🌗 Reiki as a catalyst for spiritual awakening🌘 The original roots of Reiki in Japanese Buddhism🌑 How Reiki supports trauma healing without re-triggering🌒 Developing soul-level discernment through Reiki practice🌓 Understanding the difference between ego and soul guidance🌔 Viewing Reiki as a relationship, not just a technique🌕 Insights for both beginners and advanced Reiki practitioners🌖 And more!Ready to explore Reiki's transformative potential?

Send Us a Message!What if the way we talk about our spiritual journey is keeping us stuck? For years, we've embraced the concept of healing—diligently working to release trauma, overcome limiting beliefs, and fix what's supposedly broken within us. But there's a subtle, disempowering message hidden in that language.Today, we're proposing a radical shift from healing to alignment. When we constantly frame our experience as a healing journey, we unconsciously reinforce the belief that we're broken and one day we'll be fixed. This perspective puts our worthiness perpetually in the future—we'll be enough when we're finally healed. Alignment acknowledges that you are already whole. You're not broken—you're simply experiencing the natural fluctuations of being human. Instead of trying to fix what's wrong, alignment focuses on reconnecting with your true self, with Source, with the natural flow of life in each present moment.In this episode, we cover:How healing language can reinforce a sense of brokennessWhy chasing healing can leave us feeling unworthyThe shift from a healing mindset to one of alignmentHow to start embracing wholeness in the presentThe power of reconnecting with your true selfThe transformative nature of liminal, in-between spacesHow presence opens you to unexpected possibilitiesA 30-minute practice to anchor into nowRecognizing worthiness as your natural stateHealing vs. alignmentAnd more!Ready to explore this paradigm shift?

Your wholeness is waiting to be recognized, not created.........Register for the May 29th webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/5X-ujPueQQufyjdCwMeoUQJoin the Reiki Fusion Master Teacher Training: https://moonrisinginstitute.circle.so/c/reiki-master-teacher-training/Moon Rising Shamanic Institute Links:Website: https://moonrisinginstitute.com/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/moonrisinginstituteFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/moonrisingmysticsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonrising.instituteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@moonrisinginstituteSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://moonrisinginstitute.kit.com/spiritguide Book a session with Isabel: https://calendly.com/into-the-deep/scheduleBook a FREE 15 minute connect call with Izzy: https://calendly.com/moonrisinginstitute/connect Book a session with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/90-minutes-intensiveBook a FREE 10 minute connect call with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/10-minute-connect-call-srpt

Send Us a Message!What if the most powerful psychic protection doesn't come from the crystals we carry, but from how they help us transform our own energy?Nicholas Pearson returns to Wisdom Rising with profound insights on psychic self-defense that bridge science and spirituality. With his background in geology and decades of crystal wisdom, Nicholas reveals how minerals serve as catalysts rather than crutches in our spiritual practice. "Crystals aren't a substitute for doing the work," he explains, "they just make the work easier."This conversation takes us beyond superficial crystal practices to explore what truly creates energetic resilience. Nicholas shares how a crystal's internal order and coherence can help us embody those same qualities, making our energy "resonate more loudly than harm." Along the way, we discuss:Staying grounded during chaosMulti-crystal banishing ritual (emerald, sapphire, ruby, quartz, diamond)Building "energetic muscle memory" through practiceProtection as ongoing process, not one-time actImportance of wonder and excitement in practiceBlending tradition with innovationGuidance for all levels of crystal practitionersExploration of Nicholas' new book, 'Crystals for Psychic Self-Defense'Throughout our discussion, Nicholas emphasizes maintaining a sense of wonder in our practice. "Find what excites you," he advises, "because that spark of excitement is the raw fuel that will take you further than any instructions in a book." His approach honors traditional wisdom while encouraging innovation for today's unique challenges.Whether you're new to crystal work or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers invaluable guidance for anyone seeking greater energetic sovereignty in an increasingly complex world. Connect with Nicholas:https://linktr.ee/theluminouspearlhttps://theluminouspearl.com/contact/Buy the book: https://a.co/d/gkyE5pyMoon Rising Shamanic Institute Links:Website: https://moonrisinginstitute.com/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/moonrisinginstituteFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/moonrisingmysticsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonrising.instituteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@moonrisinginstituteSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://moonrisinginstitute.kit.com/spiritguide Book a session with Isabel: https://calendly.com/into-the-deep/scheduleBook a FREE 15 minute connect call with Izzy: https://calendly.com/moonrisinginstitute/connect Book a session with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/90-minutes-intensiveBook a FREE 10 minute connect call with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/10-minute-connect-call-srpt
