Emilee Saldaya

Emilee Saldaya

Susun interviews Emilee Saldaya of Free Birth Society.
Emilee Saldaya is the trail blazing leader and founder of Free Birth Society. She was a doula for over ten years, until the reality of her complicity with the obstetric system and the harms that it does to women and babies prompted her to find a better way. In aligning with freebirth, Emilee's dharmic path became clear. She quickly evolved into a "Radical Birth Keeper" who serves women birthing outside the system. She founded Free Birth Society prior to the conscious conception of her first child, and went on to give birth to her daughter freely, on Maui, Hawaii.
Emilee’s acclaimed podcast (“The Free Birth Society Podcast”) quickly became a fan favorite and has reached millions of people.The Free Birth Society private membership has become a bastion of birth freedom, truth, and community, in a world in which women’s birth choices are increasingly curtailed. Emilee is an inspiring and inspired coach, with the ability to immediately hone in on the self-sabotage and mental blocks that keep women stuck in unproductive patterns. Her approach is warm, kind, ferocious, and transformational, giving her clients the spacious witnessing that allows them to step into their power.

Galexis

Susun interviews Galexis.
Galexis is a group of multi-dimensional non-physical beings who speak as One through the trance channel Ginger Chalford Metraux. Ph.D. They first came through Ginger in 1988 and went public in 1994, activating their Mission through private sessions and public seminars. Since then, they illuminated and supported people in their personal evolution so that they could take advantage of the Great Consciousness Shift that was kicked off in 2012 and that came to a pivotal evolutionary point in 2018. Their Mission has been to use the new consciousness energies coming in from the Light Future to teach people how to craft and manifest their own personal New Life in their own New World on a template of Love and Empowerment, Freedom, and Trust of/Reliance upon their Spiritual Team. But there's more. There is a greater Mission for us all that Galexis is helping us with, and that includes dreaming this New World for everyone, thus participating in the world's evolution as well. The goal is the Aquarian Age principle of the individual remaining distinct and luminous sharing radiance into the Collective and belonging in the Oneness of all beings.
About the channel, Ginger Metraux Ph.D. Ginger has been an astrologer, life coach, writer, and nutritionist before becoming a trance channel. Currently, channeling Galexis has enabled her to be "trained" by the group in medical intuition. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Daniel-the-Healer.

Naturality Path's Shivagi

Naturality Path's Shivagi

Susun interviews Shivagi.
Shivagi's restlessness took her to a lot of ashrams and gurus, and brought her in touch with various philosophies and spiritual/healing teachings/practices. She did crazy travels, met interesting people under different circumstances, kept learning from her pleasant/unpleasant experiences, but something just did not fit in. She had not just been changing multiple jobs but frequently changing professions all together. When she had reached the peak of her internal crisis, in the October of 2016, quite unexpectedly, she met Jivasu in the town of Rishikesh and got introduced to Naturality. A peek into Jivasu's life and his unassuming ability to answer her incessant questions about everything, initiated certain kind of natural integration in her.
Shivagi currently resides in Dehradun and is the co-founder of Naturality programs in India. Her journey was never devoid of excitement and uncertainties, but she is now always full of boundless inner adventure which is finding a wholesome expression on her more conscious journey.
Her website is www.naturalitypath.com
