  • 042 - When is it more than a coincidence?
    Nov 12 2023

    If you haven't listened to episode 41, you may want to check out that one first before listening to this episode.

    Or not...

    We skip like a rock along Jung and Freud, a heated disagreement, early psychology, and behavioral economics.

    Most of all, though, this episode explores how we are encouraged, pushed, or brought deeper into the creative journey by otherworldly phenomena. A psychologist may call it psychotic, or a statistician may call it cognitive bias. We often dismiss it as a coincidence.

    However they view it does not matter to us because we walk our own creative path and can look for waypoints however we want and in whatever we want.

    The question is: Are you taking responsibility for your creative journey?

  • 037 - Honoring Familial Land, Lughnasa, and Cavan’s Lughnasa Healing Spirit Festival
    Jul 30 2023

    There is a deep relationship between how we connect with ourselves, each other, and the land around us. Neglecting even one can lead to the whole system being out of balance. The Healing Spirit Festival, founded by Garoid Teevan, is one such way to celebrate the Summer abundance and Lughnasa. It’s taking place 4-6 in Cavan and offers a family-friendly place to explore many holistic healing modalities like sweat lodges, drumming circles, cacao, meditation, breathwork etc. I hope to see you there, and if you are coming, message me @aquietvoicepodcast on Instagram. 

    You can learn more about the Healing Spirit Festival 4 - 6 August in Cavan: https://drummanyspirit.com/healing-spirit-festival/

  • 036 - Powerful Healing from Holistic Modalities with Aisling McGreevy
    Jul 23 2023

    Creative and spiritual growth often comes after a crisis because in rebirth they pursue alternative means to heal themselves and deep empathy to help others. Aisling McGreevy’s story is not any different. She suffered anxiety after her busy sales job became quiet during the recession. Her health improved tremendously once she started reflexology, reiki, and other holistic modalities. Now, with Ruby Rua Holistic Therapies, she combines her diverse background of healing therapies to match the right one for every client. 

    In this episode, we explore the conflicts between the intuitive and rational mind and how we can become blocked from our innermost feelings as adults. We talk about flower essences, access consciousness, meditation, and how they can help people heal emotionally and physically.

    You can find Aisiling at rubyrua.co.uk/ or by email aisiling@rubyrua.co.uk

    She is also on Facebook at Ruby Rua Holistic Therapies

  • 035 - Synchronicity Unveiled: A Florence and the Machine Concert and the Wisdom of the Yew Tree
    Jul 16 2023

    Often the most beautiful aspects of life lay right beside the harshest and if we can just find a way to wait it out, they can deliver romantic partners, new opportunities, landscapes, and other extraordinary experiences. There is deep meaning in suffering if we only look to see it. The trick is we often only get that meaning and wisdom afterward when we look back in hindsight. How far back in your life do you need to look to find an inherent wisdom or beautiful order?

    This episode explores how synchronicities can be the most unlikely guides on spiritual and creative paths. We talk about the symbolism of the yew tree and some wisdom I received while visiting the oldest yew tree in ALL of Ireland. Also, I get swallowed into a crowd of stale beer and vape smoke at a Florence and the Machine concert.
