KIMBERLY JOHNSON SHOWNOTES:

KIMBERLY ANN JOHNSON was a yoga teacher and bodyworker whose body, and life, was permanently altered when she sustained an injury during childbirth.

Determined not to get a full pelvic floor reconstructive surgery, she traveled the world learning about postpartum practices. After healing herself, she became a doula, Sexological Bodyworker, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner so that she could help women through this important and overlooked phase of development that is the postpartum period. As is taught in many traditional cultures, she believes that when nurtured and taken care of properly, women can emerge from this rite of passage stronger, more whole, and with more access to their power. S

he believes the same is true of relationship, that with the right tools, marriages and partnerships can be more connected and robust after children. For this reason, she wrote The Fourth Trimester: A Postpartum Guide to Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions, and Restoring Your Vitality to be published by Shambhala Press in December 2017.

To learn more about how to have a radiant postpartum experience and how to do a decent Kegel, go to her online home at magamama.com. 

Kimberly has a private practice in Encinitas and Los Angeles, CA specializing in birth injuries, birth trauma, and sexual health. She is the co-founder of the STREAM School for Postpartum Care with her mentor Ellen Heed, where they train professionals to help women heal from painful sex, birth injuries, and genital trauma.

Her most outstanding accomplishment is being a single mom to fiery 10-year-old, Brazilian daughter, Cecilia.

Travel Image ~ Sensual Lineage

Banteay Srei, Temples of Angkor, Cambodia

The intricately carved pink sandstone of Banteay Srei is touted as the artistic jewel of all the temples of Angkor.  From the outside it appears very small and perhaps not worth the 30 kilometer tuk-tuk journey, but the incredible carvings and stories told on its wall are well worth the voyage.  The detail must have taken Khmer craftsmen endless hours to portray their reverence to sensuality.  The craftsmen devotion to the sensual myths of Khmer history of the demons & the goddess could be felt.  These are the preserved reminders of our global  lineage of sensuality & now is a time of deep remembering.

Travel Image ~ Haw Paw Flower

Singapore

No one can escape experiencing the renowned Tiger Balm while traveling in Southeast Asia.  Many believe it is a miracle cure-all with its poignant aroma and slick feel.  The Haw Par Villa in Singapore was built by the Haw Par brothers from the fortune they amassed selling the famed Tiger Balm throughout the world.  The grounds of the Villa are filled with eccentric artistic pieces and hours can be spent exploring all of the incredible designs.  Many of the scenes depict tales from Chinese mythology & reverence to the divine feminine.  The flower design appeared on the back of a stage. The beauty was in the details and the worn look of having survived the elements.

Travel Image ~ Buddhist Grandmother

Bodhgaya, India

Each year thousands of Buddhist monks and pilgrims from around the world descend upon Bodhgaya for the World Peace Ceremony.  During the event, monks encircle the Bodhi tree where the Buddha was enlightened and chant for peace. Adding to the cacophony, Buddhist pilgrims perform numerous prayer rituals on the periphery.  The sound of the chants resonates through the air and will touch your soul.  One of the most incredible experiences is watching as the monks and pilgrims exit the Mahabodhi Temple at the end of the day.  The lane goes from near empty to a river of crimson robes in an instant.  The peace and openness of this Buddhist pilgrim radiates love & conveys the feeling of the entire incredible event.

TANYA CASTEEL SHOWNOTES:

Tanya Casteel is an Artist + Visionary.

Visualizations, meditations and Spiritual Guides inspire my Spirit Animal paintings and readings. My galaxy style watercolor paintings are an offering to you as a source of inspiration. A reminder of who you are, to trust your intuition, and to use your unique gifts.

I’m interested in the tension that’s created when we dance with what WE want to happen VS what actually WANTS to happen. As I paint, I play with this balance by creating an animal shaped container for water, color, and Spirit to flow in. Bring forth this wisdom to practice in everyday life.

I invite you to let intuition speak through your imagination.

Rainbow raindrops fall through my brush,

Dripping, splashing, flowing onto the page,

Held, supported, and loved by animal shaped containers,

Water, Color, and Spirit dance within its boundaries,

This is what wants to happen,

We remember, we trust, we shine.

Travel Image ~ Zebra

Etosha National Park, Northern Namibia

During the dry season at Etosha National Park in Northern Namibia, the wildlife can be seen interacting at the waterholes throughout the barren landscape.  It is fascinating to watch giraffes and springbok, zebras and gemsbok all converge on one body of water.  One particularly memorable morning, all the animals were out and about but they seemed very skittish and hyper alert. Groups would cautiously drink from the watering hole, then suddenly flee and then return.  We suspected that a pack of lions was on the prowl and waited to see if they would emerge.  The lions never appeared but the tension and anxiety was palpable.  Of the wildlife, the zebras never fail to bring smiles with their eccentric black and white patterning and striped mohawks.  Plus, they are rebellious & cannot be domesticated.

Travel Image ~ Finding Goddess Within

Pokara, Nepal

The mountains of the Himalayas loom around Pokhara.  The air is different…clearer, fresher…an easier conduit of the magic that lives all around us.  There is a lightness of being that washed over me as I sat serenely listening to the prayer flags flapping their prayers into the wind.  As I was strolling around Pokhara I came upon this Goddess reflected in a window.  She drew me in & shared her message with me…her message of the Goddess resides within…it is your divine right to know her & commune with her.
