Could one wordless sound communicate more than a torrent of prayer? Possibly so, according to the early mystics who experimented with “Sound Prayers.”

In this episode, we’ll explore this unique form of human-divine communication that does not rely on words. Instead, sound prayers utilize pure sounds, such as vowel tones or combinations which are believed to have medicinal qualities and can bypass the logical mind to connect more deeply with the soul.

Join me as we delve into the fascinating Kabbalist history of sound prayers, which may date back to early Mesopotamia and may have been passed through oral tradition. We’ll explore what happens in your body when you practice sound prayers regularly, and how these simple yet powerful sounds express the longings of your heart and soul for which you might not even have conscious descriptive language.

And of course … we’ll also DO a sound prayer together so you can experience this powerful medium live. I’m so excited to share with you the transformative potential of sound as a spiritual and healing practice, and encourage you to engage with your own voice and explore the depths of your inner experience.

Are you in a love relationship with land? And how might land actually draw out your authentic voice?

Today’s episode explores the profound relationship between your soul and sacred land, emphasizing its role in healing and spiritual journeys. We’ll explore how many cultures view the land as the body of the goddess, highlighting the importance of connecting with the earth as part of one's spiritual practice.

I share my personal experiences of how different lands have held and transformed me throughout my journey, and how the land has “been” the Goddess to me at any points, leading to deep insights and healing. We’ll also explore how to love the land beneath our feet currently as a source of wisdom and support, cultivating a relationship with it, whether in urban settings or more natural environments.

The episode also touches on the significance of sound and song in this relationship, suggesting that the land responds to the authentic sounds of our bodies. I invite you, the listener, to visit places you feel drawn to and to engage with the land through offerings, such as song, to deepen your connection.

There's a magical practice that turns every utterance into an incantation--and it's the life-changing magic of speaking up. So often, what we desire is on the other side of speaking up and taking the leadership to express what we want.

Whether you're a priestess who wants to speak up more confidently in your online sacred work, a wife who wants to speak up with her husband, or working in a job or engaging in a spiritual community where communication leadership is needed ... this episode is for you.

We'll look at the benefits of speaking up as well as why it's so difficult and what some of the biggest blocks and limiting beliefs are that often keep us silent. And, we'll explore some wisdom from Goddess Inanna on cultivating a courageous yet truly feminine voice.

There's a secret on the ancient-future devotional path ... and that secret is the role of EARTH in the transmission of temple wisdom, Goddess names, songs and more. EARTH in the form of clay tablets kept that wisdom for us for four thousand years, waiting to be un-earthed (pun intended) again.

We rarely look at the Earth itself as a bridge or a connection in the transmission of vibrational wisdom -- language, ideas and song. But it is always our ally. In this episode we explore the way the body of the Goddess ... the soils of Her essence ... plays a role in providing us with Divine Names, songs, chants, incantations and more that are medicine for our own bodies.
The Earth is the bridge and a connection between us and the divine. It provides a medium for us to capture sound and vibration so that they can be transmitted over time to different people. And in this episode, we'll explore the fascinating history of clay tablets ... literally, "paper" that's been fashioned from the earth itself ... and their role in preserving the Mesopotamian ancestral Goddess wisdom that enriches us today.

We'll also look at ways to bring clay, as a gift of earth, into your spiritual practice. Learn more at lisamoriah.com or explore upcoming offerings at schoolofdivineradiance.com

Ever wondered what makes a woman's voice magnetic ... so powerful, enticing, clear and compelling that people just have to listen to her?

Perhaps you have also wondered why you're not able to command the attention and listening you'd like from friends, family, colleagues, bosses or prospects and clients.

In this episode, you'll find out why.

The human voice -- like the rest of our bodies and the planet -- is capable of holding energetic polarity. These polarities are usually thought of as masculine and feminine (not connected to gender).

How much your voice integrates masculine and feminine qualities, will determine how magnetic your voice is.

The process of integration is called SACRED UNION.

Together we'll explore the alchemy and practical outworking of sacred union in your voice ... in particular, by looking at the dominant marker of each polarity in your voice: creativity (the feminine) and authority (the masculine).

You'll have a chance to assess which polarity you currently lean on most in your communication, and where more integration may be needed to become a truly magnetic communicator.

You'll also learn more about the limiting beliefs and subconscious mental systems that may cause you to reject or diminish a certain polarity in your communication ... which also diminishes magnetism.

Your voice was designed to be powerful ~ and with the process of SACRED UNION at work, you'll be amazed how much more attention, respect and cooperation your words receive.

People often ask me "Where do your chants come from? Do you channel them?" And the answer is ... yes and no.

While the guidance to create a new chant AND the tune come from my soul, the texts come from actual temple or spiritual chants from anywhere from 2000 to 4000 years ago.

This episode is all about the process of encountering a powerful piece of poetry, a hymn or a temple song ... and recognizing that this is the "voice of the ancestors" which wants to be heard again.

Join me for an exploration of chant as a tool for connecting the past to the present, being in relationship to the ancestors, and bringing ancient spiritual consciousness back to life. Not just "channeled" wisdom but the actual words that mattered to our flesh-and-blood spiritual ancestors in Sumer, Akkad and Babylon.

While there's no right way to "do" chant, I do have some convictions about what I've observed in the Divine Feminine community (and the wider chant world) -- areas where I feel there's more opportunity to use our voices and chant to be in greater relationship with all that is.

What’s in a (Goddess) name? A lot, it turns out. Chanting Divine Names is an age-old practice … but what really happens when we bring the name into our bodies? Join me for an exploration of the healing, wisdom and feminine power that rise up in use when we open a Goddess Name as a DOORWAY TO A FREQUENCY, and a LINK IN THE CHAIN of ancestral connection. To experience it for yourself, we will also look at one Goddess Name from Mesopotamia and the Hebrew Bible — and chant that beautiful Name together to get the process of transformation started.

I frequently get asked, How did I come to what I call an “ancient-future devotional path,” which is reaching back into history to develop living relationships with our ancestor priestesses?

ESPECIALLY when I started life in a conservative Abrahamic religious community that did not accept Goddess or priestesses? This journey has brought. me to a place where the ancestors are guiding me through history, ancient texts, and other sources we have in abundance today --- also through the dream space, creativity, and channeling. Integrating history and personal experience together to recreate the ancient path ... and tap into that goddess wisdom to guide us women in the present ... is the joy of my life. But I most definitelyI did not come to that path when I was 18 years old and headed off to college. (Not much that's worth doing happens that way, anyway, right?) It was a long journey to get here. In today's Sound of the Goddess podcast, I'll use my voice to share my story ... and if you're on a similar journey I hope this encourages you to keep going, knowing your journey is TAKING YOU SOMEWHERE AMAZING.
