Raising the Vibes Blog

Today we are so excited to interview Natasha Mott. Natasha is the creator of Raising the Vibes Metaphysical Academy of Consciousness. Join us as learn a little bit about Natasha, her journey and what makes her really excited. 

Tell me a little bit about your spiritual journey? What got you to this point?

Natasha: I’ll try to keep it short and sweet. I was born into a family of 5^th generation spiritualty and spiritual teachers. My grandfather had this underground school and worked with spirit in many different ways. I grew up in this family where it was all welcomed and encouraged and expanded on. 

I never thought I could make a living doing this and helping others with my spirituality. My first job was working for working for an import-export company, where we did a lot of exports and it was quite technical at that sense. My dream was to travel. I have such a curiosity for culture and belief systems. I always knew that what people believed in determined their...

We are more connected technologically than ever before these days. However, most of us would probably say that we feel disconnected to ourselves and each other.  We are mastered at creating distractions,  creating busy so that we don't have time for self reflection, for connecting to the basics, of life, and to nature.  

Why is that so important?

Traditionally, we depended on others for survival. Community ensured survival. We want you to become intentional and purposeful about making and developing and ensuring satisfying connections.

Ask yourself how deep or fulfilling are your connections? On the scale of one to ten, rate each of the relationships that you are currently engaged in, including the one you have with yourself. Be honest. You don't have to admit this aloud to anyone. 

Make Connecting a Conscious Choice

Make conscious choices. Be consciously aware of how you are connecting to people. Maybe you have connections that you’ve outgrown that...

How many of you have children or have access to children on a daily basis? If you do, you realize that children are absolutely magnificent in their being.  As adults, we often feel so far removed from our inner child and their natural inner state of happiness. Tapping into your inner child can be just the missing ticket for you in terms of experiencing joy and bliss. 

Get creative!

Use your imagination. Dream, fantasize. So many times creativity has been suppressed because we are worried about other people and their judgement of us. We tend to not express ourselves because we are scared of judgement from others. When was the last time you danced in public for no reason and didn’t care about what other people were thinking? When was the last time you painted just for the joy of painting? 

Forgive.

I notice this with my own children. They are so quick to forgive and so ready to forget. When did that change for you? This is the correct attitude to have. As adults,...

Are you getting ready to do some major travelling? Some of us are about to hop on a plane for the first time in days, months or even years. This comes with a whole host of energetic shifts - from excitement, to fear, to a bit of confusion and panic. This is an especially charged time for us sensitives! If you're nervous about an upcoming trip, don't worry! I have some tips and tricks to help make your travels as smooth as possible. 

Visualization

Before you head out on a trip, make sure that you are visualizing the travelling process from start to finish. This will help your trip flow. Whenever you visualize, make sure that you are trying to stay in the highest possible timeline of what can happen. Hold steady in that vision. Your thoughts create your reality, so why not use those powerful thoughts for good? 

Protection

I see protection like sunblock, I don’t leave home without it! Assign a talisman that you personally use for protection and carry it with...

Grounding is one of the best ways to get centered, still and happy. You can ground in multiple ways but one of the best ways is to simply go outside, with no distractions. That means leave the iPhone behind and get ready to be one with the world around you. Bonus points if you can put your bare feet on the grass! For those of us who live in cold places, I still encourage you to get out whenever you can. 

Grounding helps you feel embodied and calls you back into your body.

Sometimes if you are feeling spaced out or distracted, it’s a great benefit to ground. It helps you become more clear and to center and to feel like you are standing firmly like a giant oak tree. 

Grounded helps you feel connected.

We can often feel very disconnected from ourselves, from others and from the earth. Never have we been so technologically connected but so disconnected emotionally. Grounding helps us to connect. I say that because when we are connecting to the ground it helps me to...

We are being called to simplify our lives. Simplify life on a physical, emotional, physical and spiritual sense. Simplification brings freedom. Simplify  by opening up and being more of who we are.

Simplifying  our lives by decluttering all areas of our lives opens us up to going with the flow because when things are complicated we don’t have clarity. And when we don’t have clarity, we have anxiety and we have stress. We all know that anxiety and stress lead us to so many things because when are living in anxiety and stress it leads to depression and all sorts of other dis-ease and so on. Declutter and simplify on all levels. 

We are called to step away from the drama because simple is Freedom. Simple allows us to release control and go with the flow. And when we are going with the flow, we are allowing for all possible outcomes. Far too often we try to control the outcomes of life, of relationships, friendships and business. When we...

This community has been growing rapidly over the last few years. I've been getting lots of questions about this community over the past few years, and I'm so excited for the growing interest! We are going to dive deep into the ins and outs of the community below. 

What is the community all about?

• We offer spiritual support to those who need it. 
• It’s a community where it’s safe to expand, to ask questions and to experiment.
• A safe place to talk about your experiences.

When you are awakening or awakened it can become more and more difficult to find people that you can actually talk to. We all need people we can bounce ideas off. Please don't worry - there is no question too crazy for a group like us!

Who should Join?

This community is well-suited to anyone who has taken my courses either in person or virtually and are looking for additional support. We are really non-judgmental and supportive people and we are always curious about what everyone is...

What is ascension?  Ascension happens when you’re starting to awaken and expand. This happens when we begin to ask the big questions: looking within the universe, the cosmos and how we all fit into that. Sometimes when we shift our consciousness so rapidly there are physical symptoms that we go through. In that way, our spiritual expansion can often be echoed within our physical bodies as well. 

Flu-Like Symptoms

Sinuses running. Eyes watery. Coughing or  sneezing. These all function as a way of detoxing the body. This ascension symptom is common when we are releasing old patterns and bringing in new ones. How do we know if it’s a spiritual flu or a real flu? I always like to look at the lack of fever. If you are feeling generally unwell without any external reasons for it, this can typically be a sign that maybe you are going through an ascension process. 

Tiredness

Sometimes the ascension process can leave you with sleepless nights....

Have you ever had a reiki session? If so, you know they're incredibly insightful and can help add a lot of peace and clarity to your life. But I bet you didn't know these three cool things about Reiki!

Reiki can be done at a distance and is JUST as effective that way!

Yes, Reiki can be done just as effectively at a distance as in person. In Reiki Level II, we learn special symbols to help others with reiki who are not present with us in the same room, same city, same country or time zone. Remember that reiki is energy and energy literally exists everywhere - this makes distance reiki just as effective as in-person reiki. Sometimes it can be even better as you're not limited by the physical body in front of you. 

You can Send Reiki to Past and Future Events.

Reiki energy can flow easily to past events as well as future events. If you have a situation in the past which has a heavy energetic pull, you can send reiki to the past in order to ease some of that emotional charge. You...
