#082 | I'm answering some questions I received during and after This interview is part of the Qigong Global Summit a free online event. For more information, please visit https://qigongglobalsummit.com. This recording is a copyright of The Shift Network. All rights reserved.I had the honor of being a speaker during the 2023 Qigong Global Summit with The Shift Network and I got to share a conversation with Sharon Smith about medical Qigong. My topic in this years summit was "Accessing Your Center Core of Light"  Your center core of light (located within your Taiji Pole) supports your entire energetic system. Tuning into this powerful energetic space also supports your conception vessel (Ren Mai), governing vessel (Du Mai,) and thrusting vessel (Chong Mai,) while integrating and cultivating your three Dantian's and 7 internal chakra systems. Posture, breath, and intention are key points for alignment and cultivation of your center core of light and all Qigong practices.In this interview I share: Where your center core of light is located. How your center core of light supports your entire energetic system. A seated guided practice so you can tune into your center core of light.  Guided practice begins at 23:00 - 37:27 The seated guided practice I take you through is very soothing and gentle and can be done at any time to calm your mind and tune in more deeply into who you truly are. This is great to do as a daily meditative practice, but also anytime you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, worried or fearful. Just make sure you're breathing deeply so your energy can flow!If you'd like to view the interview [on YouTube guided practice begins at 18:00 - 32:33] please visit my YouTube channel >HERE Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!

#081 | "Suppressing Your Intuition"  When we begin to suppress our intuitive knowing,  and we attempt to turn it off, or try to downplay it, or we just plain ignore it, our body can begin to react against us. This is because we're energetic beings, and the Universe, Earth and Nature has the same fluid of energy flowing through it.  As we realize how truly connected we are to everything else,  and we can learn to tune into our environment and receive information, our body also flows in a very different way.  A big question I'm answering today in this episode is, what happens if you're in a situation where you just don't feel very comfortable expressing intuitive things that you're receiving?  Thank you for joining me!

#80 | States of Wonder | I got a great question this week: "I can't seem to visualize because there's a part of me doesn't believe it. I don't mean to sound negative, but I'm loosing faith and I find myself in fear a lot of time."  In today's episode I'm sharing some tools to move into states of wonder instead of fear. If you can't believe right now, what if you could become an explorer and begin asking different questions?  Trust is all about our ability to feel grounded, rooted and safe in our environment. If we don't feel safe and continue to see the same things repeat over and over again, it can be extremely difficult to jump into the "belief" that anything can be different. Forcing a new belief never works, but when we're able to open the flow of our creative mind so that new options are shown to us, energy will begin naturally to shift in new directions. Let's explore these new directions together in today's episode.

#79 Sometimes, when there are great shifts happening in our personal life, or in worldly events, we can find ourselves holding on in big ways, when we're actually supposed to be letting go. And the reason for this is because we have no idea what is in front of us. It's completely unknown.  That's scary, and our instincts usually say, "Hold on, stop! I want to know what's familiar.  Am I really ready to step forward into the unknown?"Even if your heart might be saying, "I AM ready to move forward..." We can begin to dig our heels in and stick to what it is we know, (what's familiar) even if it's not for our highest good. Holding onto structures that are dissolving is exhausting and can create a huge energy drain. So let's talk about how to move into a new viewpoint and take care of our energetic systems, when structures all around us are slowly dissolving.

#78 What are the intuitive interpretations of clairgustance and clairsalience? Well, let's explore intuitive taste and smell in today's episode.  And how about our dream state? What's the difference between an intuitive dream and just our regular normal dreams?  How can we tell, and how do we learn to remember more clearly when intuition in our dreams appear?This episode is part of a 3-part series on intuition, please also tune into: Episode #76 exploring clairvoyance and clairaudience  Episode #77 exploring empathic, clairsentience, and claircognizance.

#77 In this episode we continue to explore our 3-part journey of interpreting intuitive information, and the differences between empathic skills, verses clairsentience (clear feeling) and claircognizance (clear knowing). I also share some information on the overwhelm you may be feeling with these skills and a method to release the overstimulation you may be experiencing.  We're continuously picking up frequencies and translating them into emotions we're familiar with...  There are a variety of skills you may be tuning in with intuitively. When we can identify our strongest natural gifts of intuition we can build upon them and receive guidance in new ways. This episode is part of a 3-part series I'm doing to expand intuitive wisdom . In the previous episode (#77) I explored how you may be tuning into your intuitive gifts of clairvoyance (clear seeing) and clairaudience (clear hearing).  In the following episode( #78) I share information about the intuitive skills of Clairgustance (clear taste) and Clairsalience  (clear smell),  as well as our intuitive dreams.

#76 Let's explore how you may be tuning into your intuitive gifts of clairvoyance and clairaudience. How are you interpreting these intuitive skills? There can be misconceptions about how intuitive hearing and intuitive seeing presents itself. You may be doing this naturally and think it's much more complicated than it really is.

"Is it normal to sense energy?" #74 I believe that if everyone was sensing energy and working with their intuition more intimately on a regular basis, the communication in our world would be completely different. But sometimes when you're beginning to open the energy in your body, espeically with Qigong, meditation and the tuning in tools I teach, your natural intuitive gifts can begin to open quickly. And what happens when that happens?  What's "normal" and what's not?This past week, I had with a student who was going through a very fast opening within her intuitive gifts and wasn't sure how to navigate what was happening? I hope that by my sharing this story, it will support and inspire your personal cultivation to continue to unfold, because yes, sensing energy is the most natural and "normal" state we can hold.  Thank you for joining me in this episode!Please subscribe/follow this Podcast so you never miss an episode.> Website:  https://www.theartoftuningin.com> Instagram: @MariaFurlano > Facebook: @TheArtOfTuningIn > Linkedin:  Maria Furlano Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!

I got some great questions asking if "I would be willing to share some of the things I do to support my energy when I get sick?"  When we're recovering from anything big, small, short or long, one of the most important things we can do is let go and allow in our healing. It's not always as easy as it sounds though. Today I'm sharing my personal experiences letting go and with COVID, including how to prepare your environment to create the most ideal state for your healing to occur and transform how you move forward into your next experience. > Website:  https://www.theartoftuningin.com> Instagram: @MariaFurlano > Facebook: @TheArtOfTuningIn > Linkedin:  Maria Furlano Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!

When we want to maintain conscious awareness, it takes moving into a state of being honest with how we're feeling. Because being unconscious is a state of disempowerment. A state of being that is cut off from our true selves.  How do we step into being consciously aware more of the time?  What is conscious awareness?  And how does it feel to not be consciously aware?  Please join me in my upcoming live online workshop Personal Peace™ > https://www.theartoftuningin.com> Instagram: @MariaFurlano > Facebook: @TheArtOfTuningIn > Linkedin:  Maria Furlano Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!

What do we do when we're in the eye of the storm? How do keep ourselves from getting sucked in?  First we want to make sure we're not using a situation to determine how we feel, and instead aligning how we want to feel.   We get very used to reacting and responding in our world to things that we see and hear. It's really important to be mindful of how we may be loosing our energy through the kind of stressors that are happening around us. How do we do we begin to do that?  Whatever information we're tapping into, we want to be really careful we aren't getting sucked into that "frequency" of that situation.  Because when we atune to something and focus on it, the vibration (or frequency) of that situation is actually pulling you into it.   Instead we want to be an observer and be able to hold a healthy alignment to our ourselves, with a calm heart. Please join me today for some tools that I hope will get you started in creating greater ease in the eye of the storm. > Get access to your > 4 min. guided practice to refocus & calm your mind.> TheArtOfTuningIn.com > Instagram: @Maria_Furlano > Facebook: @TheArtOfTuningIn > Linkedin:  Maria Furlano Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!

Is all this stuff just too ridiculous to actually work? Have you ever felt this way? And maybe you do right now, especially if you're struggling with wanting to feel better?Since you're part of my community, I know that you appreciate energy medicine, I know that you're into spiritual expansion, right? That's your groove. But I also know that sometimes, if we can't see it, feel it, touch it, taste it, does it feel ridiculous to even try? We're living here in a 3D world that is all about taste, touch, smell, and "real issues" to figure out.  And when we want to move into a different state, when we want to feel differently, that can be very ambiguous to people. So let's explore some simple steps and make it feel more tangible.

In energetic and spiritual cultivation we always talk about being fully present in your life, but what does that really mean?  And even better how does someone get there?  How come it's so difficult so much of the time, to be fully tuned in to who we really are? A big reason for is we're more often in a frequency of expectation. Sometimes it can feel a bit scary when we step into the frequency of presence, because it's a state of being that requires trust. It's a quiet space, that's unexpectedly completely expansive at the same time.  The peace and the expansion can feel overwhelming (until you get used to it).  But one of the first things we can do to become more present is to let go of expectations and really look at what is here for us. Not in the future but now. Right there.  I'm sharing some insights today that go more deeply into the frequency of "presence" and I invite you to join me in this brand new episode. > Get access to your > 4 min. guided practice to refocus & calm your mind.> TheArtOfTuningIn.com > Instagram: @Maria_Furlano > Facebook: @TheArtOfTuningIn > Linkedin:  Maria Furlano Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!

Happy New Year!

Winter can be such a game changer for our energy, because now is the time we nourish our INTERNAL energy more deeply... So we actually have the energy to create amazing things in the spring! In the winter we want to focus on taking care of our energy in different ways and not deplete ourselves. When we deplete ourselves we can feel brittle.  Caring for the strength of your bones and brain, is all part of the Kidney energy in winter time. And this also builds our internal reserves of energy.  The more we can learn to tune in, making choices that support our natural energy flow, we'll easily shift from being brittle and depleted, into a state of being nourished and loving.

Inside my online Studio a member was asking about "What's the value between doing guided or visualization type meditations vs. silent meditation?" In this episode I'm sharing the value differences and why you might choose to do one over another at various times in your life. I'm also sharing what the point of doing a silent meditation is and how and what's necessary for it to develop into a practice that advances your energy cultivation.

When we take that step and want to move more deeply into ourselves, especially with energetic practices, this is when (at times) it can be scary. Depending upon what we're wanting (needing) to clear in ourselves in order to elevate our frequency, old patterns, fears, etc can begin to arise that cause us to resist. When we try to control what's moving within us, we begin to create restriction and over time can be extremely draining. But when it's time to tune in to ourselves and step into the aspect of ourselves that is ready to let go, it is one of the most empowering gifts you can give yourself.  Thank you for joining me today. > TheArtOfTuningIn.com - 4 min. guided practice to refocus & calm your mind.> Instagram: @Maria_Furlano > Facebook: @TheArtOfTuningIn > Linkedin:  Maria Furlano Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!

How are we actually absorbing information? When I say absorbing, I mean how are we either taking in pieces of information (and learning and growing with new knowledge), or are we actually taking on the frequency of different kinds of information. And if we are, how is that making us feel?If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, or exhausted, you may be "taking on" the information being shared with you.  The information that we take into our body creates a state of being. How we feel influences how chemicals move through our body. If you're feeling stressed out, a great question to explore is... Can I listen and learn, without stressing out my energy system?  Please join me... > TheArtOfTuningIn.com - 4 min. guided practice to refocus & calm your mind.> Instagram: @Maria_Furlano > Facebook: @TheArtOfTuningIn > Linkedin:  Maria Furlano Your free gift "Root the Mind" visit > TheArtOfTuningIn.comLearn all about Programs & Private Sessions > TheArtOfTuningIn.comFollow on: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTubeThanks for tuning in!
