Differentiating Intuition from Whim

In this episode I am once again joined by Alana Fairchild, spiritual teacher, psychic, and author of the best-selling Kuan Yin Oracle Deck. Alana recalls her spiritual apprenticeship, initial failed attempts to work as a psychic, and what it takes to make it as a new age entrepreneur. Alana describes the tension between following one’s intuition and getting things done, why even spiritual teachers need to work when they don’t feel like it, and how she deals with negative feedback. Alana also discusses her love of myth, a return to matriarchy, and her deep connection with Kālī Mā and the Dark Feminine. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep351-psychic-entrepreneur-alana-fairchild Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast’. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 00:45 - Apprenticeship under a psychic 03:00 - Initial work as a psychic 04:21 - Early challenges 05:31 - Spiritual intuition vs getting things done 09:06 - Business success in spirituality sector 09:36 - Alana’s creative and business process 13:04 - Intuition vs whim when getting things done 17:41 - Working even when you don’t feel like it 19:37 - Trope of the ”full body yes” 20:06 - Divine masculine and feminine 25:27 - Dealing with negative feedback 26:09 - Triggered by masculine energy 27:06 - Polarised by Mother Mary 30:51 - Myth and anthropology 31:45 - Return to matriarchy 33:48 - Which myths resonate with Alana? 35:33 - Alana’s mother complex 38:05 - Alana’s masculine energy 39:38 - Failed attempts to become a professional psychic 42:08 - Overcoming the fear of financial insecurity 44:!4 - Career success as a psychic, spiritual teacher, and author 46:05 - Commodification of spirituality 50:35 - Connection with Kālī Mā and the Dark Feminine 01:02:55 - How Alana communicates with Kālī Mā 01:07:18 - Concluding remarks … Previous episode with Alana Fairchild: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=fairchild To find our more about Alana Fairchild visit: - https://www.alanafairchild.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi’ by Steve James
