How Psychological Abuse Affects Romantic Relationships & Having the “What Are We” Talk Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

Episode 314: Emotional and psychological abuse from our past can manifest in insidious ways throughout our lives, frequently in the form of consciously or unconsciously perpetuating that psychological abuse in our current relationships. In this episodes Madelyn explores how trauma from her upbringing has impacted how she approaches relationships today, whether her own, or through her relationship work that she practices with others.

Show Notes:

Relationships are Madelyn's "playground."
It's important to define relationships through communication.
It is not "needy" to have a desire for this identification.
A lot of men have lost touch with the communication and check-in type of leadership.
You can leverage the feminine to guide into conversations about relationship state or definition.
Lead not with the complaint, but with the desire.
One of the most dangerous places we get ourselves into is when we say we're okay with something, but then more passively punishing our partners for it.
This punishment, such as withholding love, is actually abusive.
In October Madelyn's parents had an argument resulting in a quick divorce.
Madelyn is still working on how to appropriately share her story about her relationship and experiences with her parents.
Madelyn's sense of emotions and love was very distorted growing up.
These interactions caused Madelyn's interest in and dedication to relationships.

Madelyn's attachment style tends to adjust itself depending on the attachment style of her partner.
The living situation with the Airstream was mirroring the lack of agency and control from her childhood.
Recently Madelyn and her partner have taken steps to restore her sense of sovereignty.
You do not need anything outside of you to have sovereignty.
Inner Child work is about actually going into your Inner Child trauma, letting it arise, and being there for it.

Your man is not going to be inspired to learn about his masculine by you telling him what it means to be masculine.

5 Ways Men Lose Credibility with Women Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

Episode 313: It can be difficult to navigate the delicate nuance of balancing conscious masculine energy with thoughtfulness and consideration for your partner's (and your own) feminine energy. Men lose credibility with women often through not be present to the needs of their partners. Join Madelyn as she discusses the ways men lose credibility with the women in their lives, as a guest on Dominick Quartuccio's & Bryan Stacy's The Great Man Within Podcast.

Show Notes:

The Great Man Within Podcast can be found here: https://www.doinnerwork.com/podcast
Bryan & Dominick focus on spiritualizing healthy divine masculinity in proper balance with the feminine.
This episode about things men can do to make women feel safe was in their top five of all podcast episodes.
Dominic was on the podcast, Episode 283: Making Your Love Darker and Your Goals Lighter - maddymoon.com/dominick-quartuccio
A free companion PDF to this episode is available - maddymoon.com/freegift
The five ways men lose credibility:
Hesitation, a man who wants to lead and is a little bit afraid.
- If her belief is that she can't trust the masculine, to prove her wrong, do it with fervor.
- Don't ignore her concerns - listen and hear.
- Lead strongly and with conviction.
Lack of integrity on what you can and cannot handle.
- Make the space for yourself and your needs, so that you can fulfill those needs and be present when you're with your partner.
Not following through.
- If you have wounds about someone not being there when you needed it are so easily reopened by not being available when you are needed, but conversely can also be healed by simply being present.
- Respect both your time and the time of your partner.
Failing to go unconscious in transitions.
- The moment your bodies are no longer connected after sex, can your keep your spiritual connection?
Defending yourself rather than listening to her.
- The feminine has been shushed, poked, prodded, limited, beaten, sold, raped, separated, mutilated, and silenced since the beginning of humankind.
- When you listen to her and start to change the paradigm of how these interactions go, you are healing the feminine."
When you partner is presenting you with a complaint, search for where they are right.

Why Lightworkers Need a Life Purpose Declaration with George Lizos Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

Episode 312: George Lizos is a spiritual teacher, intuitive, author of Be the Guru and the #1 bestselling Lightworkers Gotta Work, co-creator of Elemental Healing™ and host of The Lit Up Lightworker podcast. He helps lightworkers to find their life purpose and work their light in real, palpable ways that create positive change in the world.

Show Notes:

Watch this episode on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/maddymoontv
It can be difficult to avoid feelings of persecution in environments like the current pandemic. Ask, “What does my inner child need? What am I responsible for to get out of this situation and get my autonomy back?”
George wears a crown as a touchpoint to step into his feminine energy. His default is acting from masculine energy, always pushing forward. The crowns can be a way of signaling and setting intention.
His book Lightworkers Gotta Work - https://georgelizos.com/lightwork
Purpose is to help lightworkers to balance their masculine and feminine energies.
George was raised in Cyprus a very religious Christian environment.
He struggled with the big questions of life from a young age, convinced something was wrong with him, and tried to gain acceptance by trying to match himself to people’s expectations.
Homosexuality was still taboo when he realized he was gay at age 13. He responded by trying to “become” straight, hyper-aware of his behaviors. He contemplated suicide, including writing a note to his parents.
As soon as he made the decision to do so and “let go,” the solution became clear: Learn to love yourself exactly as you are.
"Something magical happens when you declare to the universe that you want to change: the universe comes in to support you."
Through spirituality George learned self-love, eventually leading to writing his first book.
This led to a busy, pushed, masculine lifestyle that was causing mental and physical distress. He did a past-life regression and discovered he had been a prostitute that was murdered by a client, causing him to suppress his feminine energy in future lives.
Masculine and feminine energies are two sides of the same coin, so focusing completely on one abuses/ignores the other.
Sex, Gender, Sexuality, and Energy
- Sex is biological; gender is social; sexuality is biological; energy flow within all these domains.
- Women tend have more feminine energy than men, and men tend to have more masculine energy than women, but it’s really aspects of the same thing that runs through all of us.
Same-sex relationships can be challenging with this energy balance.
Connecting with nature can help us rebalance our own energy that’s confounded by social/psychological issues. Nature emulates masculine and feminine without social labels through the energy of the seasons.
“Bathing under cosmic light” to balance masculine/feminine. Light from sun, moon, and stars is a reflection of our own inner light. The moon’s essence itself feminine energy; sun is masculine. Moonlight is the balance of the two - the combination of the surface of the moon and light from the sun.
Coaching and creating coaches should be difficult and focused on improving the world, not creating a sales downstream.
Many coaches don’t have a clear sense on their “why,” their purpose.
George reviews his life purpose, which he has written and posted so he sees it every single day (the who, what, how, why).
The universe will support you, but there is work for us to put in, and it all starts with understanding our purpose.

Reverting to the "Old You" with Triggering Family Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Episode 311: The global pandemic has resulted in many of us having to share our spaces with difficult triggering family members who may be activating the “old you” within us - aspects of ourselves or collections of behaviors that we associate with past trauma, or that we feel are holding us back. In this solo episode Madelyn explores the deep spiritual and psychological implications surrounding this dynamic, and offers tools and perspectives to reframe these interactions in the context of acceptance (both of ourselves and others) and how to use them to create and grow.

Show Notes:

Gene Keys by Richard Rudd - https://amzn.to/2VRzs7R

- World is embodying Gene Key 55 at this moment.
- All Gene Keys have "Shadow" (dark side) and "City" (light side/gift).
- Gene Key 55: Victimhood/Freedom
- This Gene Key also relates to the current White fragility
The idea that anytime you are in the shadow, you are playing the role of victimhood is not always accurate.
How to keep a high vibe with a low-vibe family?
How to cope with a close relative who treats you like the "old version"?
There is no old version of the self - false duality.
There are aspects of ourselves that we shift between, and sometimes they will be ones that were more prevalent in the past.
“We go into victimhood to prove that we're existing."
We can acknowledge our traumas and experiences without them becoming self-defining.
Sovereignty, agency, and self-determination is important - i.e. having your own place, domain.
The benefits are exponential - the space creates more time to create, which creates more opportunity to pay for the space.
Start with the question, "How is this affecting me?"
We all have people in our lives that will reveal old versions of ourselves.
Most important: You cannot control these triggering people and how they view you. You can only control your reaction.
Disconnect from needing validation from those people.
Being more aware and curious about what your "old you" is asking for or needing in those moments, and seek to provide it.
"You do not have to hold everyone who is biological family as energetic family."

Magdalen Rose-Womb Consciousness with Jedaya Barboza Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

Episode 309: Jedaya Barboza is a Tantric Shemite ROSE WOMB PRIESTESS OF THE DIVINE FEMININE. She empowers women to reclaim their birthrights of divinity, love, pleasure, harmony, sensuality, magnetism, and sovereignty through the ancient codes of the Magdalen Rose Womb Consciousness. Jedaya provides 1:1 mentorship, online and live retreats + facilitate workshops, trainings and courses.

Show Notes:

Madelyn will be posting videos of interviews to YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/maddymoontv
Struggled with sharing YouTube channel because of old videos, asked her teacher if she should take them down.
It's okay to not always resonate with your past selves, don't suppress or repress parts of yourself.
It's Pussy Awareness Week!
Connecting with Divine Feminine Energy is very potent during these times.
Jedaya grew up with a very empowered woman, but she was also very religious.
Felt Christinity was a cover for her deep inner witch embodiment, like a veil.
Sex magick is largely being in the energy, not just penetration or actual literal sex.
Everyone comes into the world through the energy of sexuality.
No outside force or entity has the power to depress me, suppress me, oppress me.
Jedaya works to help people transmute their stories and their trauma into empowerment.
Sessions with Jedaya are about feeling seen, being heard, connecting with our true origins of self.
When you suppress the feminine energy, you suppress life.
Magdalene is an energy that any feminine or masculine soul can embody.
There's been a "war on the womb" for centuries.
More and more women are waking up and honoring their own states, being priestesses.
Jedaya's path brought her to so many places in the world with so much beauty, and also so much abuse.
Being a priestess is sacred responsibility. You have to meet that name by respecting it.

Cancel Culture Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

Episode 310: In many ways the Internet has democratized the spread of ideas and given everyone a platform and a voice. Inevitably there will be times when we won't agree with these voices and opinions, and when that disagreement is shared publicly by others, "cancel culture" can easily develop, where large groups of people collectively pull support, usually centered around a controversial statement, pattern of behavior, or things in the past. In this episode Madelyn explores the distinction between standing up for our values, and the Ego-driven need for separation.

Show Notes:

Spotify and here on the website are the most reliable places to get the newest episodes of the Mind Body Musings Podcast - iTunes not always as reliable.
Free will, trauma, judgement, greed, natural shortcomings interfere with our creative drive to create "heaven on Earth."
Cancel culture: something happens that causes one to completely shut out a public figure they once respected.
Cancel culture can be a way we skip over the hard work of compassion.
Madelyn frequently gets contacted by followers communicating expectations that she has more of a social responsibility to use her platform in certain ways to spread awareness/calls to action.
When you're in the public eye, when you're wrong, it's publicly wrong.
Participation in cancel culture may be rooted not in altruism or enlightenment, but Ego, which thrives on separation.
What is one moment in your life that learned something that you didn't know before that made you realize you needed to change your ways?
What if that moment of yours was public?
Evaluating whether your convictions are really coming from yourself, or absorbed via someone else's opinion in a comment.
None of these ideas are intended to dismiss anyone's personal feelings, but an ask for broader awareness and gentleness.
Ask permission before engaging in a dialogue, even with friends - when people say yes to something, they are no longer on the defense.
Richard Rudd - The Gene Keys - https://amzn.to/2VFUAy3
- In every Gene Key there is a light and a dark.
- Gene Key 30: Light is humility; darkness is arrogance.
- In the Bible Judas is known as the betrayer.
- What if that was his role and was so devoted to God that he was willing to embrace the role?

Letting Your Future Unfold Without a Plan Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

Episode 308: It can be extremely challenging to let go of control (in a healthy way) and the need for everything to be according to a strict plan. It's even more challenging to let the future unfold in these uncertain and turbulent times. The feminine/masculine spheres of control and surrender are not as simple as "feminine yielding" and "masculine control" - there is feminine control and masculine control, just as there is masculine yielding and feminine yielding.

Show Notes:

As an introvert, is finding it healthier to be in nature vs. in Brooklyn.
It took trust to be led into a new living situation without a plan.
If you struggle with being led, this is an invitation to notice how often you feel your heartspace tighten around a plan.
What if you viewed your life as it time didn't exist? Let go of the idea of anything being final and live on a moment-to-moment basis.
"When we start making promises about the future, we severely tighten the corset on life." What could be around the corner could be better.
The masculine within you is the part that says, "I trust myself so deeply to get myself out of any mess, so I can say yes without diving deeper."
Disempowered feminine: "I can't make plans. Plans are too hard for me. Can you make the plans for me?" or "I have to make all the plans. I can't trust anyone to do it."
It's important to be both spiritual and relatable - balance of masculine-grounded/feminine-ethereal.
Teachers who are both spiritual and relatable:
- Kendra Cunov - maddymoon.com/kendra-cunov/
- Marya Stark - maddymoon.com/marya-stark/
- Krishna Das - https://amzn.to/30J3Y71
Artists and creatives can be great teachers - ethereal from art, grounded if they can teach.
You can practice with smaller things, like plans with friends, dates, etc.
Eventually the practice will extend to bigger-picture events and decisions.
A love that's truly meant for you and authentic will not need to come with white-knuckled promises to "Please stay."
Every beginning comes with the promise of an ending.

Mary Magdalene: The Apostle to the Apostles, Not the Prostitute Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

Episode 307: Mary Magdalene, one of the most important individuals in Christianity, is also one of the most misunderstood. Her powerful femininity and significance in Jesus's stories and teachings have been undermined for over a thousand years. Join Madelyn as she explores the teachings of Mary Magdalene, the Apostle to the Apostles, not the prostitute, in the context of today's feminist reawakening and her own Christian upbringing.

Show notes:

Madelyn was named after Mary Magdalene.
She had an oppressive/repressive patriarchal upbringing experience.

The Sex Episode - discussing the confluence of her upbringing and her sexuality - https://maddymoon.com/sex/
In 2015 denounced "Christian" title.
Too much of Christianity didn't feel right.
Traveled to Israel, experience spoke to her.
Church should be a celebration, not a punishment.

Six key areas for context:
Mary was not a prostitute
Book of Mary omitted from Bible
Six pages missing, four pages in the middle missing
Seven powers she highlights - egoic parts of human nature
We are inherently good.
Jesus was both fully divine and fully human
Not a prostitute - declaration that she was came from Pope Gregory to undermine her teaching, and undermined women's capacity to be leaders.
In 1969 the Catholic Church apologized for the fabrication.
The path that Mary carves for us is that every single human being has the voice of the angels, and the voice of God, the voice of the Divine within themselves.
The books omitted from the Bible focus on a personal connection with God not requiring an intermediary.
It's our journey to believe in our truths. It's not our job to force other people to believe in these truths.
Allow others to disagree with you.
Seven powers that must be attained to ascend: darkness, craving, ignorance, longing for death, compulsion of range, enslavement to physical body, and the false peace of the flesh.
These powers are not meant to be destroyed or obliterated.
The path of love is that we're devoted to having this ascension within ourselves, which is actually a descent into the heart.
What made Jesus who he was, was the fact that he we fully human and fully divine.
Jesus honored his sex as a potent life force.
Peter doubts Mary, that she was given teachings they were not.

The Time I Found Out My Boyfriend Had a Wife and Three Kids May 27, 2020

Show notes

Episode 306: Relationships are complicated even when the partners are open and honest with each other - let alone if there is emotional abuse, manipulation, and secrets - like finding out your boyfriend had a wife and three kids.

This episode is an intimate and revealing conversation Madelyn had on Julie Day's podcast, I Woke Up Like This. Together they explore Madelyn's experience of discovering a former boyfriend had a wife and kids - while they were dating. Come for the dramatic story - leave with the insights on love, trust, communication, and the transformative power of trauma.

Show notes:

Interview on I Woke Up Like This Podcast - Julie Day - thejulieday.com/i-woke-up-like-this.html
The first Sisu Society call has happened - a big success! - maddymoon.com/sisu-society
The Prerequisites to Ecstasy - amazon.com/Prerequisites-Ecstasy-No-Nonsense-Really-Create
At the time this happened, Maddy wasn't questioning and second guessing quite as much.
Was completely in masculine side, but disembodied, dissociated from feelings.
Everything was a "checklist."
Maddy and this person met on a dating app.
Relationship was turbulent from the start.
Coping with manipulative gaslighting behaviors with self-doubt and needs avoidance.
Found out about wife and kids accidentally via Facebook.
"If you had not found out the truth, you would have had the relationship you wanted."
Marriage - wanting to feel safe and have needs met.
Marriage is commoditized, particularly in America.
"This is something for me to learn how to love."
All knowledge of attachment styles was born in this relationship
Book: "Attached" - https://amzn.to/2oyre0R
When you break a bone, you can go to the doctor, but there aren't necessarily such tools easily apparent in traumatic breakups.
We only learn to navigate attachment trauma with tenderness towards ourselves with experience.
Any future similar situation can now be informed by this.
Goal for all human beings, especially women, is this idea and lifestyle of sovereignty.
When we say yes to love, we also say yes to heartbreak.
From victimhood to empowerment.
If you're always a victim every time darkness happens, you're not going to be able to get to that place of new life.
The relationship wasn't love; it was addiction.
The experience helped Maddy discover key components of her core self.
Every single feeling is sacred. Every single emotion is a teacher.
Be unconditionally friendly to even the parts of yourself that are uncomfortable.

From Sex, Drugs and Rock n’ Roll to Plant Medicine with Mike Johnson May 20, 2020

Show notes

Episode 305: Mike Johnson is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada where he started a career at a young age as a recording and touring musician with his band Shyne Factory and later Shelter with Thieves. He worked in festival and stage management, video and music production and he owned and operated a music studio.

Mike suffered from severe depression starting in his early teens and his "rock-star" lifestyle easily led him to alcohol abuse and eventually a very serious drug addiction . In 2013 Mike hit a rock bottom and decided enough is enough. He admitted himself to a 1 year intake addiction treatment program in Edmonton Canada called “Our House” where he dedicated his life to healing and learning everything about addiction and concurrent diseases.

After losing his best friend to an overdose, Mike saw how insufficient the western treatments alone are, and became laser focused on finding more effective ways to help himself and other addicts truly heal. In his research, he came across Dr. Gabor Mates' work treating addiction patients with Ayahuasca. In 2015 Mike packed his bags and headed to Peru for 3 months to work with Ayahuasca and began dieting master plants in the Shipibo tradition. He continued working with Ayahuasca in Canada and Peru and in January 2017 his path led him to the Ayahuasca Foundation 10 week curandero initiation course where he found his place and his life purpose as a healer.

Today, Mike Johnson can be found facilitating plant medicine ceremonies, offering pre-ceremony intention sessions as well as post-ceremony integration. He continues to be a creative being by writing music, connecting with nature and helping people find their healing path.

Show notes:

This is a special episode with Madelyn's partner Mike Johnson.
Turn your pain into your passion. Turn your mess into your message.
New monthly membership program - Sisu Society - maddymoon.com/sisu-society
Two lessons per month exclusively on FB Live for members & access to community and connection.
Feminine grit is required to be a feminine being.
"Be a broken record for love."
Mike's most consistent muse in life is music.
Focused on recording and touring with a successful band, but a part of him was unhappy and lifestyle led into addiction.
Mike finally sought help and went to a treatment center.
Mike needed more than medications prescribed as an easy "fix" to addiction.
After his friend passed away in treatment, Mike discovered plant medicine and Dr. Gabor Mates's work bringing patients to Peru to work with Ayahuasca.
Every plant has a spirit. Every plant has light, and every plant has dark. Plant diets establish a relationship with these plants.
"No one is flawed. It's just part of your journey to figure out these things you need to get through."
Ayahuasca is a diagnostic tool and requires guidance and participation - cleaning the body.
Experiences are so different from person to person.
Anything worthwhile in life that has light, comes with shadow.
Madelyn's relationship with Ayahuasca wasn't able to develop until she had an experience of darkness with it.
You can hear Madelyn further discuss her Ayahuasca experience with Will Siu: maddymoon.com/will-siu/
Challenges and difficulties performing with bands on stage were like training for the ceremony space.
When considering Ayahuasca ceremony, Madelyn discovered it was important to be heart-centered and have help in integration sessions to truly process the healing.
Mike offers integration sessions for those interested (email below).
