From Intuition to Energy Healing: Exploring the Psychic Path

What does it mean to be psychic—and how do we learn to trust our intuition without feeling overwhelmed? In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater sits down with Lisa Campion, a master psychic, medium, and Reiki teacher with over three decades of experience mentoring healers and supporting sensitive souls.
Together, they explore how psychic ability develops, the role of trauma and nervous system regulation in spiritual growth, and the difference between vibrational healing (like Reiki) and multidimensional practices such as quantum healing. Lisa shares her story of being “born psychic” in a world that didn’t talk about such things, and how she went on to combine psychotherapy, Reiki, and psychic mentoring into a career that empowers others to access their own intuitive wisdom.
Listeners will learn practical tools to ground themselves, clear their energy field, and recognize their unique “truth signals.” Whether you’ve always felt a little “too sensitive for this world” or are simply curious about what your intuition is trying to tell you, this conversation offers inspiration, clarity, and a pathway into trusting the unseen.

Quitting, Evolving, or Adapting: What It Really Means to Stay With Yoga

What happens when the center of your practice—the teacher, the lineage, the external validation—suddenly disappears? In this deeply engaging conversation, hosts Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Meghan Marshall, longtime Ashtanga teacher and founder of Mysore Yoga Philadelphia, to explore the evolving landscape of practice in a post-guru era.
Meghan, affectionately known in South Philly as the “benevolent Ashtanga overlord,” shares how a stroke mid-practice in 2019 altered her perspective on yoga and opened the door to Pilates. Together, they discuss the parallels between Pilates and Ashtanga, the cultural dynamics of lineage, and the emotional upheaval many practitioners feel as the Ashtanga community shifts.
This episode weaves humor, honesty, and deep inquiry into what it means to keep practicing—not out of obligation, but as a living, adaptive, personal commitment.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why so many practitioners are reevaluating their relationship to Ashtanga.
How Pilates can illuminate blind spots in yoga practice.
The difference between “quiet quitting” and making a public exit.
How tradition evolves when the guru is gone.
What it means to root practice in self-inquiry rather than external approval.
Guest Bio: Meghan Marshall
Meghan Marshall has been teaching Ashtanga yoga for over 15 years. A Canadian by birth, she now calls Philadelphia home, where she runs Mysore Yoga Philadelphia, a thriving Mysore-style studio. Known for her humor, honesty, and supportive teaching style, Meghan blends the rigor of Ashtanga with insights from her Pilates training, helping students connect to their bodies with clarity and compassion.

Parampara, Paper, and Power: The Politics of Ashtanga Certification After Sharath

In this deeply reflective solo episode, host Harmony Slater addresses a heated debate currently circling the global Ashtanga yoga community: certifications and their legitimacy. Drawing from her own decades of practice and personal memories of studying with Sharath Jois, Harmony offers her perspective on what certification really means — and what it doesn’t.
She invites us to step back from the noise of division and instead consider the larger crises happening across our world: climate disasters, hunger, war, and the erosion of human connection. With tenderness, honesty, and wisdom, Harmony explores grief, impermanence, and the essence of yoga as union—not fracture.
Through stories, reflections, and quotes from Sharath, she reminds us that yoga is not a piece of paper, nor is it found in hierarchy, but in how we live, love, and treat one another.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why certification has never truly defined a yoga teacher
How grief and loss are showing up in the yoga community
The role of impermanence in practice and in life
Stories and teachings from Sharath Jois that reveal his heart
The importance of Yamas and Niyamas—especially Ahimsa—in today’s world
How division distracts us from the crises that actually need our energy
A call to action: turning practice into presence, compassion, and service

Yoga Beyond Performance: Identity, Access, And Ashtanga

This conversation explores the lived experience of practicing and teaching Ashtanga as a visible minority, and what it takes to evolve a lineage without losing its heart. We examine how unspoken norms, lack of clear standards, and performance-driven culture can exclude people, and what a more inclusive, structured, and compassionate approach looks like in real rooms.
What You’ll Hear
Identity, visibility, and belonging in traditional Ashtanga spaces
Why standards matter, and how “no structure” quietly creates inequity
Mixed messaging around asana achievement vs yoga as healing
Practical inclusion: bodies, props, pacing, and permission
Decolonizing the mat and having necessary, uncomfortable conversations
Teachers’ responsibility around food, body image, and modeling care
Reframing progress when life, injury, or anatomy write the rules
Community dynamics after leadership changes in Mysore
Privilege, access, and taking practice to underserved communities
Key Takeaways
Clear standards protect students and teachers and reduce bias.
Inclusion is practical: adapt sequence, use props, cue options, honor cycles.
Your value is not your vinyasa. The practice is a lab for self-knowledge.
Community health > cults of personality. Build learning organizations, not pedestals.
