Collaboration and Community with Emily Barnard

Published: Feb. 14, 2023, 12:44 p.m.

Today, I am talking to my dear client turned friend, Emily Barnard of The Things That Make You Go Woo podcast, and @emilyandherstars. She is an astrologist, teacher, medium, and Akashic records reader Emily was my very first online mentorship client and we have become very close friends over the past few years. We have a mutual love of history, pop culture, and memes that translates into our passion for sharing information instead of gatekeeping.\nIn today\u2019s conversation, Emily and I are discussing the importance of collaboration and community on the spiritual path. To foster these types of connections, Emily created the Third Eye Library, an online space for people to explore their spiritual curiosities in a safe and supportive environment off of social media. The tagline is \u201cAncient wisdom, modern mystics\u201d and there are several librarians covering a wide range of topics.\xa0\nIn the Spirit School Collective, Emily will also be teaching a series of classes on Astrology for Lightworkers to help us understand how it can support us on our path.\xa0\nConnect with Emily\nInstagram: @emilyandherstars\nThird Eye Library: https://www.thirdeyelibrary.com/\nThings That Make You Go Woo Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0p8tqkplTm4wPvGlqG5Rj6?si=PE2kAMflQhaEKTtqk_OFKw\nhttps://www.emilyandherstars.com/\n\xa0\nSpirit School Links\nSpirit School Collective: https://www.squamishmedium.com/spiritschoolcollective\nJoin us on the new FREE Spirit School platform: https://myspiritschoolcollective.com/plans/\nTrauma Informed Lightworker Waitlist: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6398f03888aca7e15696b1fa\nVisit Spirit School at https://www.squamishmedium.com/ for all courses and upcoming programs\nView full transcripts of podcast episodes at https://www.squamishmedium.com/blog\n\xa0\nIn this episode:\nEmily\u2019s love of astrology was shared with her grandmother\nShe started her mediumship journey on her own and reached out to me for mentorship\nEveryone has different insights into astrology and reading birth charts\nYou can tap into the hidden superpowers in your chart at different times\nYour 12 month astrological cycle begins with your birthday\nEmily focuses on evolutionary astrology, the soul\u2019s journey through lifetimes\nPast life and Akashic records came into her practice from exploring north and south node wounds\nI\u2019ve been skeptical of past life work, but when it comes up, it makes so much sense\nEmily keeps astrology separate from her Akashic readings\xa0\nShe has a Cosmic Alignment that combines multiple modalities\nEmily talks about \u201cwoo\u201d history on her podcast, Things That Make You Go Woo\nShe loves to uncover the truth behind myths and questions that are relevant today\nWe both appreciate inclusive history that honours the stories that have been removed\nMost of the evidence we have in history is from the Victorian era\nSomething I promote that Emily does incredibly well is collaboration\nIn the past, she followed the mindset of keeping information to yourself\nEveryone in Spirit School and in this field has been open with time and knowledge\nThere is no need to gatekeep information because we\u2019re all in this together\nIt\u2019s important to have friends who understand spiritual awakenings and experiences\nThe Third Eye Library was created as a safe space for people to connect\xa0\nThe friends Emily has made is why she will continue to share\nThe Third Eye Library was inspired by an art instruction platform\nIt\u2019s a place for community and for exploring new information and curiosities\nThe tagline is, \u201cAncient wisdom, modern mystics\u201d and it\u2019s important to recognize origins\nEmily wanted to share the people that she trusts and refers to for classes and modalities\xa0\nThe Third Eye Library is a safety net for navigating spiritual awakening and exploration\nBeing off of social media eliminates the fear that friends and family will see your posts\nIt\u2019s important that librarians in the space are still learning and on the journey\nThere are rooms for animal alchemy, meditation, medical, oracle car
