Chakras and Shotguns — Religion & Spirituality
Chakras and Shotguns

Chakras and Shotguns is a wellness podcast hosted by Mik and Jenn, a married couple who ditched their corporate jobs to become healers. Jenn’s a former corporate lawyer, now yoga instructor, Tarot card reader and medium. Mik’s a former brand marketer, now a Reiki Master, Shaman, life coach and prepper.

And yes, we know Chakras and Shotguns sounds like an odd combo, but it’s all about balance and the duality of life! “Chakras” symbolizes your spiritual journey towards enlightenment, while “shotguns” represents your need for security and protection in this crazy world.

Get ready for some fun conversations about astrology, growing your own veggies, manifesting your dreams, solar panels, energy healing, cosmic beings, and even unlocking your psychic powers. And, of course, you’ll hear about that one time Mik and Jenn braved a powerful winter storm thanks to their prepper skills.

If you’re looking for a podcast that will help you become a more secure interdimensional being, then Chakras and Shotguns is for you.

Show notes

Do you have a "black thumb"? We thought we did too. As luck (or fate?) would have it, we were introduced to Darciea Houston who helped us turn our backyard bed into a thriving garden. We were so excited to have our first guest talk with us about growing your own food which is a great way to prepare and feed you and yours if SHTF. As we get back to the earth and connect with what's around us, we discover the spiritual side of gardening, including connecting with our ancestors and finding healing.

In Episode 7 we talked allllll about food storage for an emergency situation, including emergency food rations. Want to know how they taste? Check out our Preparedness Food Taste Test on Youtube! We cooked and sampled a bunch of different emergency food (so you don’t have to).

Mik started our gardening journey with a Vegebox, which is great for indoor hydroponic gardening. Mik also watched the gardening MasterClass taught by Ron Finley, the “gangsta gardener.” Ron is doing really cool things in LA. Check out his website and IG (@ronfinleyhq).

We had an amazing first guest on the podcast - Darciea Houston!!! She’s a permaculturist (WTF is permaculture?) and all-around gardening master. Check her out on IG (@darceiahouston) and Facebook.

E7: Where We Bout To Eat At? - Ensuring You Have Food for Emergencies Part 1 Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

Let's talk food! We get into all the ways that you can store food for an emergency situation. We also discuss how we prepped for the COVID lockdown, share thoughts on the taste of various prepper food products and discuss tips for making sure your entire family is well-fed during an emergency. We also answer our first Listener question!
Some things we talked about in this episode:

Our title inspiration and something you’ll hear in our house frequently around dinner time: Antwain’s “Where We Bout To Eat At?” Clip

The Mik and Jenn family crest would definitely have “Stomach Integrity” somewhere on it, and in an emergency situation, you cannot play fast and loose with food poisoning. Here are some Food Safety Guidelines specific to disaster scenarios.

Remember, two is one and one is none, so you should have two can openers. But what if you didn’t follow our advice and don’t have a manual can opener for all that canned food you have stored? Here’s a quick video showing how to Open a Can Food Lid on Concrete.

Finally, we taste-tested some emergency food rations. Check out our Preparedness Food Taste Test.
