In this episode of Mystical Musings, hosts Jennifer Taylor and Tava Baird continue the discussion of souls and their myriad roles and paths while incarnated. Samael lays out for us 4 primary ways of viewing the world and the concept of God via an illustration the hosts affectionately and somewhat jokingly refer to as "The God Box." Jennifer shares a poignant story illustrating the interplay of souls and their roles on earth, while Tava explores more deeply the concepts of certain souls as "catalyst." The episode concludes with additional channeled song and a special translated message from Lilith.

With an improvisational and candid start, this episode is off and running from the first seconds! Before they could even hit 'record' Samael began speaking, and Jenn began receiving songs. The episode retains a lighthearted and humorous tone, amidst heavy and profound topics, making it accessible and engaging for listeners. Samael shares insights into the nature of souls, explaining concepts such as fragmented souls, the interconnectedness of the soul to the divine, the role of the ego and more. Tava shares her experiences using Jenn's Sacred Soothing track to soothe agitated souls, and they discuss the role of spiritually attuned music in creating sacred spaces and aiding in communication across the veil. The conversation continues next week but is brought to a close by a soul of grounding.

Due to a family emergency, we are needing to postpone our last discussion for another week. While this week's events did not produce a podcast, it did result in this song. We offer it as a gift to you. May it be a blessing.

Please do not listen while driving or doing other tasks that require complete focus for safety.

If you would like to be able to play this on repeat- go to the https://www.willowridgereiki.com/recordings where it can be streamed and is set to repeat.

This track is especially helpful in calming fear and bringing a sense of deep peace. Many find it helpful at the end of the day to calm their mind, come into greater energetic alignment and drift into peaceful sleep.

You may also find this supportive to those who are struggling to cross over, such as those in hospice care. It may also be supportive for those suffering from dementia. This song does not influence their decisions but supports them in finding peace, whatever form that may take.

We would LOVE to hear your experiences with this music! Please feel free to reach out to Jenn at jennifertaylor@willowridgereiki.com to share.
