Alexandra Keller: Bridging Earthly & Divine Experiences

June 4, 2025 Kate Manser

What is it like to transition from skepticism to spiritual awakening? Alexandra shares her experience going from skeptic to "woo woo" energy healer, and how she is still working to balance the spiritual with earthly experience and even science.

In this episode, you'll hear:

🦋 The importance of self-love, integrating the ego, and living a meaningful life

🌱 Her transformative experiences doing a 400-hour mentorship with Shipibo Shamans

🌉 Her commitment to balancing the mystical with the practical, aiming to be a bridge between spirituality and everyday life

Alexandra is also a classmate of mine at Alef Trust as we work on attaining our Master of Science in Transpersonal Psychology, Consciousness, and Spirituality!


Alexandra's answer to "When you think about living your most alive life - what does that mean to you?" I've dealt with a lot of hardship, trauma, and abuse but I never lost my faith in a better life. When I was 18 I got a tattoo that said "inspire a beautiful life" because I was determined to make my life more beautiful and help others see that they could build a more beautiful life, too. Ten years later when I felt I had finally moved from victim to creator consciousness, I got a tattoo that says "I create my reality" to always remind me that my outer world is a reflection of my inner world. Now my journey is focused on truly embodying unconditional love. It's a constant work in progress!

The conversation delves into the spiritual and community aspects of creativity, with Jeff reflecting on his experiences with plant medicine and the shamanistic path he's treading.

We discuss the importance of self-approval, challenging family dynamics, and the transformative potential of heart hugs. The episode ends with Kate's personal reflections on maintaining vibrational energy and connection amidst life’s challenges.

In this episode of 'Be Alive with Kate Manser,' Kate delves into the concept of non-ordinary states of consciousness, sharing insights from her recent research and 20-page paper.

She discusses shamanism, Carl Jung's active imagination, and the importance of both drug-induced and drug-free heightened states of consciousness.

Kate explores the innate human desire for these experiences, the psychological and spiritual benefits, and practical ways to achieve them through self-directed neuroplasticity, meditation, exercise, and other activities.
