The Whirlwind: Zach & Meghan’s Process
Personal Spiritual Development Journals Return: The Whirlwind of Accelerated Learning, Healing and Unconditional Love
Meghan experiences the opening of a crazy spiritual whirlwind with her co-worker turned friend Zach. Neither one of them had any idea what was in store…
Crumbling Massive Structures: Co-Dependence and Femininity
Through this new process, Meghan begins to recognizing a long-standing pattern of co-dependency underneath her relationships, and how that structure is messing with the purity of the connection. Also newfound discovery of internalized misogyny that was messing with her ability to see herself and sexuality…
Healing Core Beliefs (and new techniques we are learning!)
Meghan has a huge emotional purge in regards to her feelings for Zach (and the old deep beliefs that come with it). Zach has a deep healing of an inner child who felt he had to “do” for others in order for him to be loved. Plus new spiritual techniques they both learned in the process…
The Impact of Deep-Seated Insecurity and Body Image Constructs
Linked Spirits: Zachs Perspective
Zach’s first post! Sharing his experience of this whirlwind (coming from a pretty skeptical background) and how it felt to blow open a new, direct experience of spirituality…
Let There Be Greg
Zach recounts his experience as the victim of a violent hate crime, and in turn what was created subconsciously to protect him…
These Things Ill Never Say
Zach’s first big emotional purge, triggered by an unruly child (and guess what roots it hit?)
Gold Aint So Pure
Zach embarks on his first solo process – discovering how old beliefs of perfectionism can mess with spiritual work and life in general…
Hold Them MF Feelings
Zach learns the importance of looking at hard situations (specifically sexual assault in this case) through clear eyes, rather than letting our internal defenses downplay it to protect ourselves (after the initial event), inevitably trapping feelings in our body to get in our way later. Healing requires being willing to really look at what’s in front of us as the process unfolds.
Sexual Energy Lockdown and Body Image Constructs
Meghan discovers her trapped sexual feelings towards Zach on lockdown – leading down the rabbit hole to body image constructs needing attention
New Type of Earth Relationships? Cups Runneth Over…
Meghan releases a huge amount of jealousy in order to reveal her truth underneath of what unconditional love and connection really looks like, no matter what earth bodies we may inhabit…
Grandmother Spirit: Love from the Other Side
Zach has an amazing experience reconnecting with his beloved late Grandmother – finally allowing her to see who he is and let the love in from the other side…
I Dont Owe You My Body: Two Old Structures Collide
Meghan inadvertently purges a neediness regarding affection all over Zach, playing out an old pattern. This in turn, provokes an old one in his about his gayness once again getting in the way of connecting. Do they make it through healing the clash of such deep-rooted, painful structures?
Uncovering Roots
Meghan discovers where her “original rescuer” is born from, as well the craving for physical affection
Coming Out Bisexual
The Shadows of Fears Illusion
Meghan discusses the difference between energetic constructs that are actually there, vs what is a fear of what used to be…
Relationship Upheaval in 2020? You’re Not Alone. Friends, Partners and More…
Did you experience some major issues or breaks from longstanding friendships, relationships or others during 2020? Seems taking inventory in this arena is a collective theme many of us are working with, especially for those of us doing spiritual work. As we grow, dynamics and unconscious agreements shift, and it brings up all kinds of things we need to see. Rough AF, but tremendous amounts of growth accessible if weāre working it. See if what youāve experienced lines up with what Iāve noticed in this collective theme during COVIDā¦

After a two year intensive spiritual development training program with Iyanla Vanzant, she spent five years in the Amazon apprenticing with Ayahuasca shamans, and highly values being human AF. With 15 years of experience deep in the process, she loves to share her work because this shit is a GAME CHANGER. Follow her on Instagram @wildspiritualride by clicking this box.

Zack Link - Guest Blogger
After being outed as a teenager within his small religious community in the south, Zach went to college to try to “pray the gay away”, only to accept his true self through trial by fire as a gay man. He’s into gaming, learning languages (also works as a sign language interpreter in DC), and sharing this process with others. Human AF.
