  • Exploring Past Lives - Part 2
    Sep 8 2023

    Do you think you may have had a past life? Do you experience unexplained, intense emotions or thoughts that don’t seem to resonate with who you truly are? Are you looking to explore your past lives and heal your past life trauma? This episode is for you.

    In part 2 of this Soul Essence past life discussion, Xandra shares the eye-opening story of how she recently discovered and healed one of her past lives. She also sheds light on the energy work she did to find meaning in her past life trauma, heal it, let the negative energy go, and reclaim her peace.

    If you feel like a multidimensional being that has healing work to do, consider this your time to embrace and explore that. You never know what you might uncover!

    “When you dive into [past lives] or you start making meaning out of them or you start embracing the sense that the life you’re in is just a chapter in the book of the soul, you start being able to recognize your multidimensionality.” – Xandra Hawes

    Keep in mind, Xandra is discussing the topic of past lives in more of a Buddhist spiritual context, rather than a psychological context.

    Topics Discussed:

    • What it means to embrace your soul’s multidimensionality.
    • How Xandra uses energy work to identify energy from a past life, heal it, and release it.
    • How to work with past lives in your present moment experiences.

  • Exploring Past Lives - Part 1
    Sep 1 2023

    More people are getting curious about past lives, feeling like the energy inside themselves might be old energy. Do you feel like you’re an old soul? Do you or a loved one feel like you’ve lived multiple lives or have been to places you haven’t? You might’ve had a past life…

    In this episode of Soul Essence, Xandra dives into her conceptual understanding of past lives, the adventures she’s been on when working with past lives as a medium and HSP, and how she sees people bringing this up in the clinical space.

    As a psychotherapist who’s worked as a medium, Xandra shares what it’s like to navigate past life energy work, reincarnation, and her soul family. She candidly shares her experience being told she had a past life and how that launched her into an incredible self-discovery and healing journey. Listen in to hear stories that will stir up your inner knowing and open your eyes to the possibility of discovering your own past life.

    Keep in mind, Xandra is discussing the topic of past lives in more of a Buddhist spiritual context, rather than a psychological context.

    "If a spirit doesn’t feel ready to leave or that person’s conscious mind doesn’t feel ready, a lot of times that spirit doesn’t get that permission to move on to the next dimensional space. It literally stays as a spirit in the 3D; connected to land, connected to objects, connected to buildings.” – Xandra Hawes

    Topics Discussed:

    • How Xandra first discovered the concept of past lives.
    • Different ways people and spirits transition to different frequencies and dimensions.
    • Why energy work is powerful for highly sensitive people.
    • Are past lives proven by psychology?
    • What is a soul family and why are they important for people with past lives?

  • Holistic Ways of Working with Anxiety
    Aug 25 2023

    Do you struggle with anxiety? Do you wake up feeling anxious and can’t seem to figure out why? We have good news for you… There are simple, yet powerful ways to manage your anxiety so that it doesn’t control your life from morning ‘til night. Let’s explore them!

    In this episode of Soul Essence, Xandra breaks down the psychology around anxiety and the different ways you can approach anxiety management from a spiritual perspective. She teaches you how to find the root of your anxious energy and move from overthinking to allowing the anxiety to move through and out of your body.

    Especially if you’re a highly sensitive, empathic, or intuitive person, this episode will help you gain a different perspective of your anxiety and learn how to work with it, instead of against it. Remember, we’re all connected, so let’s manage this together.

    “[Anxiety] doesn’t have to be challenging. It doesn’t have to be this thing that we are afraid of and that we make into an ocean. Most people don’t know how to react to anxiety, they make it an ocean, even though it’s a pond or a river.”
    – Xandra Hawes

    Topics Discussed:

    ·      What is anxiety and where does it come from?

    ·      How do I qualify for a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) diagnosis?

    ·      2 major reasons why you might be experiencing anxiety in the morning.

    ·      Why highly sensitive, empathic, and intuitive people experience heightened anxiety.

    ·      How to figure out where your anxiety comes from (past, present, future, internal vs. external).

    ·      Overthinking vs. Allowing: Practical ways to manage your anxiety.

    “When you’re a sensitive and empathic person, you can feel energy at higher levels. So, if you’re in a community or a collective or a culture or a belief system that is going through something hard, you are not separate from it. You’re going to feel it. And that’s why, when we do healing work on ourselves, we heal other people and vice versa.” – Xandra Hawes

    “If you have the pressure to be perfect before you even try something, it’s unlikely that you’re actually going to do it. It becomes the excuse.” – Xandra Hawes

  • Healing Together: Shifting From "I" to "We"
    Jul 12 2023

    Are you tired of putting all the responsibility for healing and growth on yourself? Are you tired of carrying the weight of the world on your heart and soul? Perhaps it’s time to call on others for help… but how? Let’s dive in!

    In this episode of Soul Essence, Xandra shares her unique process for shifting from the “I” conscious to the “We” conscious and why this is so important in the first place.

    This practice will empower you to get out of the mindset that you need to be the one to help yourself. It will empower you to receive help from others. Once you shift from the “I” to the “We”, your fear of not being enough will be weakened and you’ll be able to move through fears and worries with more ease.

    So, sink into your heart space and see how this practice can change your life!

    “You heal better when there’s more people involved. You get challenged more, but it’s like a rock in a rock tumbler. In order to polish a rock, it doesn’t just roll around in a tumbler by itself… they put a bunch of them in a tumbler together and they spin it around and they all polish each other.” – Xandra Hawes

    Topics Discussed:

    • What does it mean to shift from “I” to “We”?
    • What inspired Xandra to make the shift.
    • Why community is essential for healing.
    • Ways to cultivate community while honoring your boundaries.

    “Developing healthy boundaries… a healthy sense of self… really, really deep self-love, nourishment, worthiness… it’s your birthright.”  – Xandra Hawes

  • Sacred Discoveries in England's Leylines
    Jun 5 2023

    Xandra made it to the ley lines of England and wow, what a journey it was! In this episode of Soul Essence, Xandra details her magical experience walking England’s sacred ley lines and tapping into their healing energy. Listen in to hear all about her discoveries!

    “We can do this in our normal life. We often don’t give ourselves space away from the busyness or the creation to open these sacred energetic spaces that are in all of us. Sometimes there’s grief or fear or mistrust that blocks these spaces and so we often have to remove the energy that gets in the way to open up this inherent portal in all of us.”
    – Xandra Hawes

    A bit about ley lines: Ley lines have been defined as a straight alignment drawn between various historic structures and prominent landmarks. Ley line believers have argued that these alignments were recognized by ancient societies that deliberately erected structures along them. To learn more about their historical and spiritual significance, listen to the previous episode of Soul Essence (linked below).

    Topics Discussed:
    •How sacred places around the world are connected to ley lines.
    •What Xandra experienced while walking England’s ley lines.
    •Earth guardianship & How Xandra realized she is an Earth guardian.
    •How to strengthen your intuition and connect to your higher dimensional frequencies.
    •The healing powers of ley lines: How Xandra used her healing powers at England’s coronation ley line.
    •Why you should send love to people who anger you.

    “It’s okay if you’re a person that feels the desire to bring love and healing and light to the planet and it just comes through a sensing or a feeling or a knowing. A lot of times, that’s our intuitive body, our nervous system, being able to feel etheric energy.” – Xandra Hawes
