Innate Spirituality is the practice of remembering our own personal connection to Spirit and developing an open line of communication with our inner knowing, spirit guides, discarnate souls, angels and ancestral beings.Every person enters this world with an automatic connection to Source. Sadly, our direct line of communication is broken over time as we sink deeper into this world and its many distractions. Practicing Innate Spirituality enables us to re-establish that flow of love and communication across the veil and gives us the ability to live our fullest, most satisfying, and spiritually productive lives. Check out these helpful videos mentioned in this podcast:Glimmers, Shimmers, Signals and Signs - recognizing communication across the veil:    • Glimmers, Shimmers, Signals & Signs -...  Suzanne Giesemann's SIP of the divine 3 minute meditation:    • Transformation in Three Minutes a Day...  www.laurapallatin.com

A spiritual journey is both exciting a sacred. Fortunately, support and guidance is available to every person through our connection to the spirit world and a whole host of guides and loving beings who are ready and happy to help us live our best lives. In this episode, I'll explain what a spirit guide is, how working with a spirit guide can be incredibly helpful, and what other beings are there for us when we need them. At the end of the episode, I lead you through a guided meditation to help you personally connect with your spirit guide, spirit animal, angels, your higher self and ancestral beings. To learn more about recognizing communication from beyond the veil, check out my video:

As we grow our connection with Spirit, spirit guides, departed loved ones and our inner knowing, recognizing communication that is coming to us from across the veil becomes vitally important. Just like a path through the woods goes from a tiny trail to a well worn walkway growing our pathways of communication becomes wider, clearer, and much easier as we energetically travel back and forth over time. Glimmers, shimmers, signals and signs are different ways that Spirt, and all spiritual beings, continually send messages to us that we can understand and expand upon as we grow in confidence and understanding. www.laurapallatin.com

Getting Through Grief TogetherInnate Spirituality - Remembering who we really are Podcast Episode #2  Grief is an experience we all have many times in our lives. Some experiences are, of course, more challenging than others. As a life-long intuitive empath who's recently experienced the death of my partner, I feel it's helpful to share my experience, so far, with fellow mourners. In this episode we explore grieving from a spiritual perspective addressing some common feelings, experiences and hurdles. Part two of the podcast features a list of things I've found helpful as I've moved through this process, myself. Helpful links:my video on connecting beyond the veil: https://youtu.be/SUr5Q0JCVdk?si=lhwfLbGhtk5P5P4PSuzanne Giesemann website: http://suzannegiesemann.comwww.laurapallatin.com

As spiritual beings having a human experience, we all develop a set of survival skills. These skill are extremely important for personal development, self-confidence, and basic survival. Sometimes, we find ourselves under such severe distress that we get stuck in a pattern of using these skills for every day life and don't move past them into a level of life that I'll call thriving. Thriving is when we feel confident that our primary needs will be met and we focus our energy on more creative personally satisfying pursuits. Learning to shift away from survival mode and, trusting that our needs will be met,  can feel scary. But, it is well worth the journey.

As spiritual beings having a human experience, we all feel a sense of disconnect from Spirit and one another. In this episode of the podcast, we'll explore how we are all connected through an invisible web. Although we may feel alone, we are never truly all alone. I read a new chapter from my upcoming book, A Path To Be Spiritually Free, and then I discuss some of my questions that I hade when I finished writing the chapter.

When we look for the good in the world, that is exactly what we see! Join me as I explore how we are naturally drawn to darkness and how looking toward the light has its own rewards. This is the very first video podcast of The Practically Spiritual Show. In this episode, I share a story about my beloved step-dad and the lessons we learn both what to do... and what not to do.

What a way to start my very first interview on the podcast with the incredible Mezdulene! Even if you already know this dynamic woman, I'm sure you'll learn new things and be inspired by this interview. Mezdulene takes us on a journey through her spiritual upbringing from an early childhood in vastly different Christian churches to her unique blonde-haired-girl on a Native American reservation adolescence. It's a fascinating story that helped to shape Mez into the Spiritual Leader she is today.

January 1st is an excellent time to assess the past year and enter into the new year with clear intentions for a happy satisfying year. Although, any day of the year is a good time to focus our intentions and put the past into context and move forward with positive intentions. In this episode of the podcast, I share my own system for reviewing the past year and making a plan of action for the year to come.

Learning to set, maintain, and respect other people's healthy boundaries  is a practice we continue to develop throughout our lives. In this episode of the podcast, we explore how many of us experience emotional pain due to under developed and overdeveloped boundaries. And, also explore strategies for recognizing when we need to enforce stronger boundaries with people who refuse to respect our us.

It's ALL about intention? Yup! That's what I said. Every interaction we have with others, every project we undertake, meal we cook, job we do, is infused with the intention we bring. In this episode I read a sweet chapter from my book, "Jane Street Cooperative Garden" about ways to observe intention's role in our lives. I also read from the first part of my upcoming book, "A Path To Be Spiritually Free" in which our intention manifests in everyday situation.

Chapter five of my book Walk In Your Own Footsteps addresses the very human tendency to abandon projects and ideas without seeing them to their logical conclusion. While completing everything we start may seem like a great goal, sometimes it's even more important to walk away from something that actually doesn't suit us.  Systematically addressing all of our personal loose ends can help us find focus, joy and a sense of wellbeing.

A couple of weeks ago, I had an off day, and I  always  wait to record these episodes until I'm having a good day. So I'm doing my best to project a positive, uplifting, hopefully good experience for you guys.So when I was having an off day, I thought I'm going to be just really honest and vulnerable with everybody and let you know that, yeah, I don't always feel great. Sometimes I have emotionally challenging days. In that mini podcast, I also mentioned that I maybe should put together a full episode on strategies for managing my emotional well being and this is that episode.

Hi, Laura Pallatin here. Welcome to a The Practically Spiritual Show check in moment. I'll come up with a better name, I swear. Um,  today is the fourth Thursday in November, therefore, in the United States, it's Thanksgiving Day. So whoever you're celebrating with, if you're in the United States, I hope that you have a terrific day.And if you're not in the United States, and this means absolutely nothing to you, I hope you stick around just for a sec, because I think holidays, including Thanksgiving, create a difficult expectation for us sometimes. It's easy for us to get caught up thinking about holidays that have passed and holidays to come.People who are no longer in our lives, people that we hope  will be in our lives next year. And sometimes we fall into a sort of worried spiral about everything not being good enough, not meeting past expectations and, and past, thresholds, right, past standards. So these expectations can become big and they can become very difficult to manage.  Anytime we enter into a situation with very specific expectations, we're kind of setting ourselves up for disappointment, right?  Because when we set these expectations, and we live by them, not only are we limiting how marvelous it can be because we've created this threshold, like, this is as good as it's going to be, just like last year! Or even, I hope that crazy so and so doesn't come and do whatever they did last year,  Instead of just opening ourselves up and letting the day flow, meet the people that come right where they are and enjoy their company and share their burdens because that's why we are a family.And I'm not talking about people that you have blood relations with. Your family is the people who you surround yourselves with, who you choose to be with. So my goal for Thanksgiving is not to make the perfect meal or to set the perfect table, but to set a table that makes everyone that comes through that door feel welcome and loved and then to join everyone in that moment that we're all co creating to have just the best day. So whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving or not, I hope that you can come to this holiday or any holiday or any day at all and set the table and create the space where people feel safe to be who they are, let the day unfold and don't forget to be who you are because you matter.So if you're a celebrant in the United States or around the world, happy Thanksgiving. And if not, I hope that you just have the best day and I will see you on Sunday at the podcast.

In this new chapter of my upcoming book, A Path To Be Spiritually Free, I introduce the term 'Innate Spirituality.' Innate Spirituality is what we experience when we strip away all of the rules, notions, and edicts that have been put upon us by religion and cultural indoctrination. Innate Spirituality is what we are born with when we come to this experience directly from Source. In this episode I explore what I call 'static' which is anything, thought, person... fear based form that comes between us and Spirit.

Today is what I call a blah day. Nothing is really wrong, but I just don't feel right. Because I want the quality and energy of my podcast to be great, I wait for days that I'm feeling my best to record my podcast. I thought I'd share one of these not-so-great energy days with you to let you know that, if you have them too, you're not alone.

Feeling bad about ourselves because we struggle with legal and money trouble can be very demoralizing and ultimately undermine our sense of self worth. Taking the time to address these issues, and other challenges in our lives that we feel badly about is an important part of keeping our self-worth high and our connection to Spirit clear.

*Warning: discussion of suicide* "Leadings" is the term I use to describe a feeling of being led by Spirit to learn something, help someone, or be directed in some way. In this episode, I share a couple of  early leadings I experienced and suggestions for how you can bring more leadings into your life and how to recognize them when you're having one.

Death is a challenging concept. Some of us find the inevitability of death as a comfort, others a scary idea. Through my experience I share my perspective and expectation of death and what to expect. I hope this helps sooth and encourage others to feel comfortable with this reality.
