This is Sacred Mechanics at its most unfiltered.</p><p>In this episode Bel covers an alarming amount of ground, including:</p><p><strong>The Da Vinci Code Defence</strong> &#8212; Bel is deep in Renaissance art history at university and has feelings about the Last Supper, the Medici family, and the figure that is definitely not John sitting beside Christ. She knows this may be career limiting. She&#8217;s saying it anyway.</p><p><strong>The Atheist Boyfriend</strong> &#8212; Six years in, and Bel is still in a relationship with a man who thinks you die and then there&#8217;s nothing. How does that actually work? What happens when a shamanka and a full atheist love each other? And should she put him on the podcast?</p><p><strong>Signs, Proof &amp; the Angel at the End of the Bed</strong> &#8212; Bel reflects on the people who need supernatural confirmation to stay on the path (her), and the people who simply trust without evidence (also impressive, also not her). Plus a medieval monk whose Eucharist started bleeding, and why that actually makes her feel better about herself.</p><p><strong>Your Energy Is Not a Shared Resource</strong> &#8212; On source energy, energy shields, and the sparkly imaginary cape Bel gives her clients before they walk into crowded rooms. Practical, strange, and genuinely useful.</p><p><strong>54, First Year, Only Adult in the Room</strong> &#8212; On being the oldest person in your university cohort, giving phone advice from the kitchen at age sixteen, becoming an old tree, and why it is absolutely not too late to start everything again.</p><p><strong>The Five &amp; The Crow</strong> &#8212; Bel&#8217;s guides are called The Five (yes, like a boy band) and last week they told her: <em>you are the crow and the crow is you.</em> She&#8217;s still thinking about it.</p><div><hr></div><p><em>New moon in Aries.

Bel explores how growing her Sacred Mechanics business has prompted her to consider the challenges of putting form around spiritual processes, much like trying to structure creativity itself.</p><p>Bel shares her progression from childhood spiritual experiences through Catholic education, Buddhism, New Age practices, witchcraft, and eventually to her current shamanic practice. She discusses how spiritual understanding deepens and transforms over time, noting that "to spirit, it's one formless, infinite breathing, living movement that's universal." Bel explains that shamanism emerged as a framework that honors human connection to all things, describing it as "a structure that helps humans understand so many facets of our capacity as spiritual beings."</p><p>Throughout the episode, she contemplates the limitations of labels and modalities in capturing the formless nature of spirituality, suggesting that an eclectic approach might be a superpower for those whose spiritual explorations don't fit neatly into established categories.</p><p>"If you find yourself on this journey and you're not sure what to hold on to or learn because you're all over the place and your listening and learning habits are really eclectic. Maybe eclectic is your superpower."</p><p><strong>Connect With Sacred Mechanics</strong></p><p>Learn more about Bel's healing work, clairvoyance services, spiritual mentoring and education at Sacred Mechanics, and check out <a href="https://youtu.be/DgIj2PqPmtw?feature=shared">"Citizens of Eternity,"</a> her short film mentioned in the episode that includes channeled information.</p><p>Recorded in Australia with the morning kookaburras providing the natural soundtrack to close the episode.</p><p>#SpiritualJourney #Shamanism #Spirituality #SpiritualAwakening #SpiritualGrowth #SpiritualExperience</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
