  <description>This episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast is all about How to Raise You Vibes with Maria the Energy Healer.  As with many interviews, we had a plan and scripted questions for Maria, but we swerved into some really important topics that will serve as way stones for what Small Scale Life is becoming. 
For all of our knowledge and understanding, there are things in this world that humans don’t know or have forgotten during our evolution.  The fact of the matter is that there are energies and vibrations at work all around us. 
In our crazy Western Civilization, modern men and woman are on the go and don’t often stop to contemplate WHY things happen or WHAT they can do to change how they feel, think and act. Instead, they chalk it up to bad luck or blame someone else for their misfortune. 
Feelings, thoughts and actions are all tied together. When we have stinking thinking, it is usually the result of problems with our internal energies, our chakras, conditioning and mindset.  We have been programmed from a young age to be on the go and move through the normal, chaotic progression of birth, school, college, job, relationships, perhaps kids, rearing children, career, retirement and death. The only constants are death, taxes and never-ending consumption.
Stop, breathe and think for a minute.  Turn the lense on yourself and your path.  Ask yourself:
• What if you could understand the deeper meaning of our pain, stinking thinking and relationship problems?  
• What if we could tap into that energy power deep inside us and begin to work with it rather than against it?  
• Do you work with Source, Nature and deep energy to heal your mind, body and soul?
• Do you know how to do that? 
• Do you even know what I am talking about?  
If you are like me six months ago, I wouldn’t have known what this is all about.  I would have thought this was woo woo voodoo and looked at you funny as I hit “block” on my phone.  Oh have times, and I, changed!
Our guest this week is a Reike Master and Intuitive Energy Healer Maria Voorhees-Reincke.  Julie and I discuss the following topics: 
• What is Energy Healing? 
• What is the Difference between Healing Touch and Reike?
• Is this just woo-woo or voodoo?
• What is grounding?
• What are sessions like? 
We talk about these and a host of other topics on this 186th Episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast!  For liinks and show notes, head over to smallscalelife.com!

  <description>Julie and I had a great conversation about wellness, homesteading and grounding with Hannah from The Wisconsin Homestead Podcast. Topics include clean eating (Keto and Whole30), grounding, spirituality (energy and the Drum Wash) and of course The Wisconsin Homestead Podcast.    
What is Grounding?
For those who may not know what “grounding” is, grounding is a practice where you walk barefoot, sit, or work outside to contact with the Earth's surface.  By grounding, you are actually connecting your body to the earth’s energy, and at the same time, you are transferring the earth’s energy from the ground into your body.  It really helps you to feel connected to the earth and more at peace.  If you don’t believe it, you should give grounding a try!
Why am I talking about this?  Well, you’ll see really soon in this podcast episode, and this is part of our Wellness practice on Small Scale Life where we are healing and strengthening our bodies, minds and spirit.  We will be talking more about this in future episodes of the Small Scale Life Podcast.
Now, without further adieu, here is Wellness and Grounding with Hannah from The Wisconsin Homestead Podcast.  For show notes, check out the post titled "Grounding with Hannah from The Wisconsin Homestead Podcast" on smallscalelife.com.
