Pleasure, Power, and Divine Support: Kacie Knight on Reclaiming Your Magic


Host Ariana Reinhart welcomes speaker, author, and spiritual teacher Kacie Knight to discuss bringing more pleasure and power into life, especially for women healing people-pleasing and perfectionism. 

Kacie describes common patterns like over-responsibility, control, and fear of the unknown, and explains how to distinguish “shoulds” from true desire by noticing contraction versus lightness in the body. They explore grief work tied to inner-child and ancestral conditioning, the role of supportive community, and how pleasure and presence help regulate the nervous system and restore wholeness. 

Kacie shares her approach through Evolutionary Alchemy; clearing density, connecting with Gaia and Source, and cultivating sustainable power beyond “battery power,” and offers a Sparkle Field Activation to help listeners set a high-frequency, grounded energetic field for daily life and work.

So, hi Kacie, thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so excited for you to be here. How are you?

Kacie

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for having me. Ugh, I love that intro so much. Not mine, the one that you did for your podcast It is just so powerful. So I'm just really honored to be here. Thank you for inviting me.

Ariana

I love it. I am pumped to have you. This is gonna be a great conversation.

Kacie

Mm-hmm.

Ariana

So, um, before we get started, I want to ask you, so I think you actually had asked this in one of, I think it was in Magical AF, and I've kind of adopted this. I ask all my, um, guests on the podcast. So if you, based on your personality, if you could be any kind of drink in the world, what drink do you think you would be?

Kacie

I think that might have been in Magnetic AF. And- Okay um, yeah. It's such a good question, and I feel like my beverage changes upon the activity I'm in or the mood that I'm in. Like, sometimes I feel like I am just this cup of like, I don't know, like, deep and rich earthy tea, like maybe a pu-erh or something like that that's in, like, a clay cup that you have to hold with two hands, and when you inhale it, it's like the scent of the earth. And then it's just this very chill experience. And then other times, I feel like I am some kind of, like, sparkling ayahuasca beverage that is, like, a mind-altering substance. So depends on where I'm at.

Ariana

I love that. I could definitely see that, yes.

Kacie

And I'm a double beverage person, if not more. Like, I usually have a beverage for, like, hydration, a beverage for fun, and then maybe something nutritious with me. So I feel like we can be multiple things, you know? Yeah. Multi-dimensional magicians that we are.

Ariana

Yes. Love that. Okay. And then can you just tell us a little bit more about yourself and the work that you do before we get into the bulk of this episode?

Kacie

I would love to. And this is always this point where I have to go, "And which part?" Because I, I have many iterations, and I am obsessed with so many things, but ultimately, I feel like I'm really here to help the helpers of humanity right now actually do their soul work in the world and have way more fun and pleasure and enjoyment while they're doing it. But at the same time, like being rich and impactful and not having the burnout, having the time to actually enjoy life. And so I, I have a mystery school where I teach my evolutionary alchemy modality, both for personal development but also professional development training facilitators like you, since you've been studying with me to be an evolutionary alchemy practitioner and transformational journey facilitator, which has been just so much fun. Absolutely. So I, I just love giving people really powerful but easy and accessible tools that are both, like, energetically magical, so we're working with divine energy and light and consciousness, but also incredibly practical because they don't take that much time, and they make you feel better almost instantly. And a big part of that, as you know, is learning how to be a clear channel to let the divine flow, right? Mm-hmm. A lot of it is getting out of our own way and actually asking for the divine support, whether it's from your luminous team, from the Earth herself, from source, or whoever, whatever you're working with, maybe even the elemental forces of creation, and getting the kind of support that is beyond what a human can give. And that's where the magic happens.

Ariana

Yes. The prep the field has, like the work that you were just talking about, has honestly changed my life. It's changed everything for me. And it is like, it's so funny 'cause every day when I'm like at that point where I'm just in my human and in my ego and I'm like, "I, I don't wanna do the work of that right now. I don't wanna," you know? And then I do it, and I'm like, "Oh my God. Why did I ever resist this? This is so amazing. I feel so much better."

Kacie

Right?

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

In the same way, like I, I will resist it. I'll have mornings where I don't wanna even take the, like 30 seconds that I know it takes for me to just clear my energy, get reconnected, and like activate the sparkle field, have, uh, that divine energy flowing. And like today was one of those days where I just didn't prioritize it 'cause I was gonna do it after I did this one thing, and then after I did this one thing, and then a- and but that after never really came until the moment you and I sat down to record. And I was like, "Hey, shall we do this work together? Shall we call in sacred space and get into the divine flow?" 'Cause I love doing it before a podcast, before a meeting, before anything important. Yeah. And we were both like, "Oh my gosh, that was like 90 seconds and we feel so much better now." So you're not alone. Like- Yeah the human journey is sometimes m- just, you know, you know, forgetting for the joy of remembering.

Ariana

Mm-hmm. I like that, yeah. That's a cool way to think about it.

Kacie

Sometimes I say it's like the ecstasy of remembering, 'cause like it's truly like... That, that's like the micro of the macro. Like we come into this human form, forget that we are divine incarnate. We go through life kind of feeling separate from everyone and everything, and then we, you know, the goal is ultimately to remember that divine connection and who we really are, and it feels so damn good. It is ecstatic in a way that it wouldn't be if we incarnated without that remembrance, right? Like the clarity that comes through the contrast is so important. And so it's just a mini journey, uh, of the whole human evolution if you go through a day and you don't use your tools, and you feel just really stuck in your own self, and then you just reconnect and you're like, "Everything's okay. Everything is good. I'm good."

Ariana

Yep. Okay, so I want to ask you a question. Um, I know you work with a lot of different women, and so I'm just wondering what patterns do you see in women who've been people pleasing for years when they first come to you?

Kacie

Mm, this is a fabulous question. So there's a few things. Number one is, um, being overly responsible for everyone and everything.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

Right? And not feeling safe to let go, trust in themselves and the people and the divine to figure it out, right? It's this ego's desire to control because in the past when the pattern was created, that's what kept us safe, right? Managing other people's emotions and making sure they didn't get mad at us. And so that is adaptive, but only to keep us alive and in survival mode, right? Like, because we're like, "Okay, we're safe if we, they don't explode." And, and usually that's developed in childhood, right? But it can continue, um, on later. And that keeps us in survival mode because we're giving away our power. We're never allowing in the magic, the faith, the trust, and the flow, and we're taking too much of our own energy to try to control things that aren't actually ours to control. Yeah. So that's one of the pieces is just overly responsible and not being in trust. And then there's the other piece that's very related about, um, perfection feeling like the standard, right? And so still a control mechanism, a trauma response, trying to make sure all the details are perfect, everything is gonna go exactly as such. So this is the pe- it's less people pleasing, but the same actual pattern of like, "I need to control everything. If I let it just be, then, uh, who knows what it's gonna be?" And so we have this fear that then keeps people from trying new things, from expanding their horizons, from, you know, taking a risk and from doing things badly because that's like how you start with stuff, right? So all of th- these control issues for safety keep people giving away their power and not actually stepping into the thing that either they know they're here for or that they really wanna do but they're afraid to.

Ariana

Yeah. And I just wanna point out too that because I that was me. Um, I definitely struggled with the whole perfectionism situation, and I wanna point out too that it can show up in certain areas of our life too. Like, it's not necessarily like overall. It's 'cause there's certain things where it was like I was perfectly happy and fine to, you know, fail or to not do a good job at the beginning, but then there are other areas, like in business, where it was like, "Nope, I need to get this right, and I need to get this perfect, and it needs to be like, you know, set up to these certain standards before I'm willing to put it out there or put myself out there."

Kacie

Yeah, and that is so very common, and it usually hinders our forward momentum because we actually get so much clarity and information by just taking a few steps and not taking the time to make it perfect, but to just getting going, which gives us- Yeah momentum, and gives us feedback, and all of those pieces.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

I've been definitely the same way. And you know what? That st- perfectionism is just your greatest strength turned up too high. Because being detail-oriented and wanting something to be world-class is what will bring you the most amount of success, but if it's turned up to the point that it becomes impossible to meet the standard, and it's almost disabling, like crushing, because you can't actually get anything done, or you're taking way too much time, that becomes the hindrance, right? Yeah. But we wanna be somewhere in the center, not not caring about the details, not not caring if it's any good, but like just walking with this like, "Hey, sometimes good enough is good enough, and we're just gonna move on from here, and refine as we go."

Ariana

Yeah. Refine and learn as we go. Yeah.

Kacie

So I am usually good in terms of business stuff with that, but I think it's because I conquered this before I even started my first dream business, because I, I have had two. And I was learning how to hula hoop as a dance art form. And I picked it up quite quickly, but I was afraid to hula hoop in public at, like music festivals, and, and do that, because I thought I had to be better before I could be perceived. I had this perfection programming run that, like I was afraid of looking bad, or looking silly, or looking stupid.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

Or being thought of as someone who wasn't good at what I was doing. I was afraid of being a beginner. And once I actually got over that and started slaying instead of having to prove anything, I actually got better so much faster, and had so much more fun.

Ariana

Yes I was like that with aerial too. We did a showcase- Mm and, um, I was kind of... Like, all the other girls that were in my class would also... So I did aerial sling, and then they also did aerial silks. Mm-hmm. And so they seemed a lot further along than I did. And when we, when our class got asked to be in the, um, the showcase, I was like, "Uh," like, "No, I'm not good enough. I can't even... I can't do this." Like, you know? And I just... And they encouraged me to just practice, and I went in and I, like, practiced more, and just pushing myself to do that thing, and just be open to it, and have fun with it. And it was like, I killed it once I got on stage, and it was just like, it was so much fun. And I'm so, so grateful and happy that I did it. But- Mm-hmm I could have easily let that resistance be like, "Nope, nope. We're not doing it." Like, you know? But then that would have hindered me in my skills all over.

Kacie

Totally.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

But here's the thing. Even if you weren't good at it, like, it still would've been okay to be perceived. We're just so afraid of being perceived as not killing it, not being good at it, like, making a mistake publicly. So, like, either way, like, it's actually not a big deal and it's not an emergency if we make a mistake publicly, and we have to be okay with that in the entrepreneurship journey. Yeah. 'Cause we are gonna screw things up, and we are gonna make mistakes very publicly. And, uh, that is actually a way of moving through life in a way that, like, lets you grow more quickly, because you're not keeping yourself from looking bad and silly sometimes, you know?

Ariana

Yeah. So when you're working with your clients, how do you help them distinguish between, like, a genuine desire and a conditioned, like, should when they've lost touch with what they actually want?

Kacie

Oh, this one is so easy if you're on a video call, but I can also sense it energetically. Shoulds, anytime someone's shoulding on themselves, their energy and their body contracts. They'll be like getting smaller, like, "I should do this, I should do that, I should do the other," and it literally physically weighs them down and they get s- like, just you, you can feel the heaviness on it. It's a burden. When it's a desire, it... If it's, you know, the ego's not getting in the way and making you afraid of it, it's typically something that feels light and free. Mm-hmm. But then sometimes the ego can be like, "Oh, that's silly. You can't do that, da, da, da," with all the stories. But, like, the first piece of it just has this energy that is like the wa- like a waterfall or... Sorry, a fountain. Like, coming- Yeah up and out and just opening the heart versus the other one, which is very inward pulling towards the earth.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

Basically, does it feel heavy or does it feel light? That was a lot of words to say, like- Desires feel lighter.

Ariana

Yes. Even if they're scary. They can still be scary.

Kacie

Yes.

Ariana

But they'll

Kacie

still feel lighter. Well, it's the fear of the desire that is the heavy part rather than the desire itself. So that can be a little tricky to extricate from, but with the about 15 years of experience that I have of observing people specifically about this kind of stuff, it becomes easier to witness the layers of it and be like, "Oh, this one's a program. Oh, this one's from childhood. Oh, this one is your grandma's voice. This one is ancestral. This one is collective," whether it's, like, a fear, a block, or what have you. And you can also kind of learn how to hear the heart itself. Even before one of my clients can, I'll be like, "Oh, this is what your heart is thinking, but then the brain and the subconscious programming and the nervous system have a different idea about this."

Ariana

Mm-hmm. And so have you noticed in saying that, have you noticed if there's like a common theme that people need to grieve or release before they can really like step into their power?

Kacie

I feel like there's not just one common theme usually before they can step into their power. It's grieving, like, whatever has happened to them that has made them feel heavy. And if we were, like, really zooming out, it's the feeling that they are separate from source and from spirit and everything like that. But that's, like, the human experience is feeling disconnected and unsupported to experience all of the stuff we're going through. But then individually, it can really vary. A lot of the times it's not even theirs. 'Cause a lot of the women I work with put their hand up to heal a bunch of ancestral wounding, and so it might be from great-great-grandma. And it can be from stuff they've heard in childhood. Again, like just somebody's voice saying they, they shouldn't or what have you. And I think a piece of the grief, if it is ancestral or from childhood, is a bit of grief for the inner child who didn't get what she needed.

Ariana

Mm.

Kacie

And didn't get the support that she needed, and didn't feel safe enough to fully go for it, and to just have the big dreams and take the action to them. Because we're realizing that, yeah, the, the part of us when we were small that was supposed to be told, like, "You can do anything, and you're magical, and you're amazing," just didn't quite get the level of support that we would have found optimum. The kind of support that, like, I give to my daughter, for example, that I did not receive myself.

Ariana

Yeah. Yeah. And I find that that is a common thing with women is that they don't allow thems- or either they don't allow themselves or they don't know how to really, like, have that big dream and to allow themselves to, you know, go after that and that, like, it is possible. And it's so common to just kinda, like, you know, do everything for everyone else or to keep ourselves playing small and in this little box. And they just, a lot of them don't know how to, like, actually have that dream for themself.

Kacie

Yeah. It's really hard to dream when you're in survival mode.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

Right? That's, like, not the point of what you need to be focused on. You need to just literally focus on surviving. And so it's really not until we can feel safe enough and calm enough in our nervous system that we can even start looking at that self-actualization stuff.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

Or maybe not, it doesn't even have to be, like, complete... It doesn't have to be completely healed. But we need to at least get to a point where it doesn't feel impossible, right? Mm. Because once things don't feel impossible, the dreams just start to, like, magically reappear when we feel supported, when we feel connected. For me, I didn't really start dreaming, like, bigger, bigger again like I had when I was a kid until I actually became, uh, part of the belief re-patterning community about seven years ago, and I was around a community of people who saw me for who I was. I felt seen, I felt supported, and I was like, "Maybe more is possible." I had always kept my dreams from the time I was about, mm, I don't know, like 9, 10 years old until my early 30s very reasonable because... This is weird, 'cause it, it wasn't because I didn't think that I could. It was actually that I knew when I was a kid that I could do anything because I had this remembrance of my divinity, and I was like, "Oh, that's gonna make me a target. I should just keep things really reasonable so I don't stick out." And it wasn't in those words, but it was very much like, "Oh, they're gonna be onto me. They're gonna do something to me," probably my Akashic showing of, like, being stoned to death, burned to death, something like that. I was like, "If I show my magic, that's not gonna be safe, so let's dial it down, fly under the radar, don't rock the boat." And I had to do a bunch of healing-

Ariana

Mm-hmm

Kacie

in order to get back to that place of like, "No, no, no, it's safe. I can, I can do whatever I want."

Ariana

Yeah. Yeah, there's... Those can... I think a lot of people don't realize how much, like, your past, um, or lineage or even just something that, like, someone says to you as a kid, like that, like, literally gets held in our bodies and in our cells. And we hold onto it, and it affects, like, the rest of our life until we heal it.

Kacie

Mm. Right? In the work that we do with the elements, the emotions are water, right? And if we don't fully process an emotion, a feeling from the thought, from the sentence that someone said, and it gets stuck in us, it really freezes there. And until we, you know, thaw it and actually process it, yeah, it'll just be in there informing our nervous system and our subconscious mind about how our life is gonna go.

Ariana

Yeah. And I think you brought up a good point too about, like, community and having that community that helps you feel supported and safe and everything. That's, I think, a crucial component as well is to surround yourself with people who make you feel uplifted and who... I think it's important to have people who will, like, call you out on your shit, um, but also, like, in a loving way and who are there to support you and to, like, want you to succeed.

Kacie

Oh, yeah. I think many, many of the magical humans that I work with, myself included, and maybe you'll resonate with this too, we kinda did incarnate into families that didn't really understand us and communities of people that are like, "Well, it just is how it is, and everything sucks. And there's no point in trying to change things. We just gotta deal with it," 'cause they're in survival mode. Mm-hmm. And so we, if we have this, like, soul dream remembrance perhaps of, like, what we came here for, how we came to help, that we were meant for bigger things, we can feel so unsupported in those dreams that we just, yeah, stop believing them. 'Cause the people around us are the people that are gonna be programming our perception of reality, and we're gonna m- like, entrain ourselves, match their energy somewhat at least. And so if they're feeling very limited, then we're like, "Oh, yeah, I guess I have these limits." And as soon as you get around the people that are like, "The limit does not exist. We're so magical. Everything is possible." Like, I have a mentor that says, "The sky's not even the limit." And, uh, it just opens our eyes and our souls back up to that infinite expression-

Ariana

Yeah

Kacie

of possibility that we actually, that kids do come here with until someone squashes it out of them. Kids don't have limits on their imagination and what they think they can do and who they think they can be. And then it's the adults that are like, "Nah. No. You know what? You will probably not be an astronaut. You're not good at math. So, yeah, I mean, I think you should probably aim for something a little bit more your speed," right? And it just gets internalized.

Ariana

I know. I think, I think that is, like, which is a good thing. I think we're kinda starting to shift a little bit with that. But yes.

Kacie

Totally. And the, uh, it, it hasn't been everybody all of the time. You know, my grandparents were very good at never limiting me, right? My parents also were pretty good. Like, "You can be anything you wanna be," but it's more speaking to society as a whole and the culture- Mm-hmm of fear and being in survival mode that is inundated into the collective, right?

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

You know, even the standard tropes of, like, starving artist. "Okay, you'll never make a living with your art," right? Like that kind of thing or, like, nine out of 10 small businesses fail in the first five years, right? Like, just all of that kind of thing. Even if your parents aren't saying it, there's some level of collective energy and ancestral failures and everything like that where we get really f- fearful of being disappointed. But- Yeah I do know that, um, especially, uh, probably in the generation, the Gen X right before me, I'm like a cusp between... I'm an elder millennial, but right on that cusp of the Gen X, kind of. I was born in 1982. The moms especially, and dads too, we've been consciously trying to cultivate this- for our children, where we're like, "You can do anything you want," but also not going the participation trophy route and going into the like, "But you have to work for it at the same time," right? Like-

Ariana

Mm-hmm

Kacie

some kind of balance for them. Like, it's not gonna be just handed to you. You actually do have to put in the work, but you can do anything if you put your mind to it and do it.

Ariana

Yeah. So on speaking into like those dreams and how good things can feel and everything, how do you teach women to redefine pleasure beyond like that surface level, especially those who have never prioritized it in their lives?

Kacie

Hmm. I like working with Gaia directly, as you know

Ariana

Yeah

Kacie

And she's the consciousness of the planet. Gaia, Sophia, Tara, you know, Pachamama. There's so many different names for her. And a lot of people just think of her as, like, Mother Earth, and they're like, "Oh, Mother Earth is so sad. Oh, no, she's crying 'cause we litter." Or, like, they'll just think of her as this maternal figure. But as a mom, I can speak to the fact that you can be a mom and have multitudes, and you're not just one thing. Sh- the Earth herself loves creation, beauty, like, pleasure. Just, uh, th- there's this erotic charge to creation energy on Earth. It is actually sexual energy and life force energy that is supposed to feel pleasurable. So I love to support women in feeling her version of that because it takes it out of the idea that s- you know, pleasure is just, like, sexual energy with a partner or something like that, 'cause a lot of people do have trauma with that. Mm-hmm. It feels safe to work with the Earth. And so we have her play with, uh, coming into our nervous systems. Mm. And I like to draw people's attention to how nice it feels, like her energy feels good. Yeah. And depending on how available they are to that, sometimes when I do this practice, I will notice that someone is feeling, like, not just good, but, like, ooh, really good. Like, ooh, maybe that's kinda There's tingling in my, uh, erogenous zones. Oh, my gosh. Is she tickling me? What's happening? And the Earth will, will take it as far as someone is available to, right? Yeah. It might just be like, oh, let's feel pleasure, and it's nice, and it's safe. And someone else might get, like, you gotta just, like, fully feel like life is making love to you and just, like, unleash and liberate that life force energy in your sensuality, in your creativity, in your ability to create life through your pleasure, and it's meant to feel good. So she, she really helps people receive the level of activation that's available to them.

Ariana

Yeah. Love that. Yeah. I've I love working with Gaia so much. She's, she's so much fun, and yeah, I always... It's funny 'cause y- I get different, like, depending on the day, I get different, um, feelings from her and everything, too. And so sometimes it is like that tingle throughout my body, and then sometimes it's like this, like this deep sense of, like, secure warmth, being held, that kinda thing. And then sometimes it is like, ooh, okay, that felt, that felt really good.

Kacie

Yeah. It's lovely, and it's meeting you where, you know, you're at and what you need and all of that. 'Cause when you just say pleasure, like, truly it's... That's just your nervous system being in the parasympathetic rest and digest where things can feel good instead of being in that, like, fight or flight stress response, which feels bad, right? So when we are feeling open and secure and able to be resting, we come into wholeness, our body starts working good, we're available to the little pleasures like, "Mm, this is tasty food," in... or full on orgasmic bliss, and everything in between. Yeah. But I really think retraining the nervous system through pleasure is so helpful. So many people get stuck in the healing loop of just gotta heal it, just gotta clear it, just gotta heal it, just gotta clear it, and they're so focused on the pain and the trauma, rightfully so, because it's been so present. But at some point you need to step over the bridge and to start to teach your body that your body actually is a space that can feel good too, and Gaia can really help with that.

Ariana

Yeah I, I have loved bringing in that you know, the universe like show me just how good this can get, and just al- allowing myself to... Like I am at a point now where I can go and just be out in nature and like I'll spend hours there just reveling in it and just enjoying every moment and just like bringing in that bliss and the... Like even yesterday, I took Axel for a walk and I was just standing in the sun and I was taking deep breaths and I was like, "Oh my God, this feels so amazing." Just having the sunlight on my skin. It feels so good. I'm just in the present moment, not worrying about anything else, and just allowing myself to enjoy

Kacie

And that's only available when we feel safe, right? If we're... You're stressed, if you're in survival mode, if you're in your head, if you're thinking about the future or the past, you would not have been available to the beauty of the present.

Ariana

Right.

Kacie

Right? So this is the thing. Pleasure is only accessible in the present moment. Mm-hmm. And that is also a portal to our power and our potency, right? If we are present, we are all here now instead of being scattered, and we feel open, receptive, connected, available. We are whole instead of being fragmented, like when we're in the stress response, right, where so many different things are shut down just to try to keep us alive. So pleasure is literally this beautiful way of letting your s- your body be, like, healed, whole, and healthy, and then also accessing all the magic that's inside of you, your creativity, um, integration of your whole brain, and, like, the prefrontal cortex that has the higher level, like, creativity, intuition, um, analytical stuff. All of that can work so much better than when we are stressed. Yeah. So when we use pleasure, we can actually get fully into our body, the present moment, and everything that's, like, we should have access to, but sometimes don't.

Ariana

Yeah. And so if someone is f- feeling into that moment, and being in the moment, and feeling the pleasure, and then all of a sudden the guilt or the selfishness narrative comes up around prioritizing that pleasure, what would you say to them?

Kacie

This is such an interesting conversation 'cause we can come at it from the logical perspective, which can help if it's a conscious thing, right? And we can look at this belief and go, "Okay, am I very effective, though, if I am stressed, burnt out, and, like, not at my best?" Like, I'm not, actually. I actually suck, and I'm gonna burn out if I'm trying to do things from that energy. I don't have all of me, and I'm gonna give pieces away of myself and all of that. So logically, it follows that if I give to myself first and I actually am feeling good, feeling lit up, I feel lighter, I can do more with less effort, get more done, impact more people, be the version of me that can actually be the most effective and efficient. Mm-hmm. So that's, like, the logical level. But then there's the subconscious programming that's coming from something that's not you, right? That's, like, the ancestral collective, Akashic stuff, whatever. Something someone said to you once about, like, "Well, don't be resting until the work is done," that just sticks in the nervous system and the subconscious mind, and makes it feel unsafe to do that thing. And in that case, I love working with a tool that can help you rewire the subconscious, create a new neural pathway, and then hack the subconscious mind to go back and forth between the, like, the new belief and basically deepen that neural pathway so you can think it easily without needing to do it consciously, um, which for me is belief re-patterning. But there are other tools and techniques like EFT and NLP and other subconscious reprogramming techniques. But, I mean, I've walked you through belief re-patterning many times and it just helps you rewire the deepest things that are in the shadow that you cannot really touch just by logic.

Ariana

Yeah. It's funny, as soon as you started talking about that, I got this like, mm, almost like a vibrating sensation in the back of my head here.

Kacie

So the fun thing is when you study belief re-patterning with me or another practitioner for a while, not even to become a facilitator, but if you do it enough times, your brain will do it for you, which is when it really becomes a superpower. So if I just like illuminate logically a belief, you can... Your brain will be like, "Oh yeah, I forgive myself for believing that it's selfish. Ah, yes, I do give myself permission to fill myself up first," because that is actually going to be me being, being more effective, right? Like- Yeah and you'll start working through the seven conversational steps subconsciously. And then it's easy to switch out of a belief. But until your brain is practiced, something like that, just saying that you don't believe it anymore isn't always enough if it's a really deep-seated old neural pathway. 'Cause you can consciously be like, "I consciously believe that I am gonna fill myself up, put my own oxygen mask on first," yes. But when there's stress, the thoughts that we think subconsciously go down the path that's most traveled, like- Yeah ruts on a road. So even though consciously we don't wanna believe it, our instincts, our, our unconscious thoughts are what is driving the bus at that point.

Ariana

Right. Yeah.

Kacie

And then we give pieces of ourselves away even though we know better. We won't prioritize the pleasure.

Ariana

Yes. And those, yeah, those thoughts can... They can be really sneaky sometimes.

Kacie

So sneaky.

Ariana

So how would you... This is kind of a similar question, but how would you guide women to recognize what power actually feels like in their bodies after years of making themselves small?

Kacie

I was a mystic at heart. I would guide them through a mystical experience, a soul journey where they could feel it instead of just hearing me talk about it. Mm-hmm. So I would, and have many times, used the Prep the Field from Evolutionary Alchemy to get rid of the excess density that's in somebody's field that would prevent them from feeling it. I walk them through that just using their imagination and their intention.

Ariana

Mm-hmm.

Kacie

And then we bring the light in, right? The light of the divine, the light of Gaia, the light of source, and we move it through the heart space, and we... After we've made enough space, we can just ask this light to flow through us. We can intentionally make it brighter, make it bigger, and we will feel the power. But the power is not necessarily coming from us, it's coming through source. And the reason I like that better than just getting someone to be really powerful without that connection is that that power, like you can, you could amp yourself up and you can get hyped up and stuff, but it's not long-lasting because it's battery power. Yeah.

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

Right? If you're disconnected, you're running off your own battery power, and we know batteries run out, right? So this way ensures that you are being replenished as you're utilizing the energy, like being plugged into the current in your house instead of just, you know, operating on the batteries.

Ariana

Yeah. And I, um- Those, ugh, those Evolutionary Alchemy sessions are just, oh my God, I absolutely love them, and I'm so excited to be able to share them. I remember doing the Soul Signature one for the first time, and like, I've never done hard drugs or anything, but I you would've thought I was on LSD or something. Like, I went into this whole other dimension. My whole body was just vibrating. I felt like I was, like, levitating in my chair. It was just this mystical, magical, like... It was just pure bliss. It was absolutely incredible. I, I can't even explain it. It's just something that you have to experience, but it was so cool.

Kacie

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I love that. And as someone who has actually done plant medicines, and hard drugs, and things like that, I can assure you it is very similar, but so much better because you're not then dealing with the aftereffects. So I like to talk about Evolutionary Alchemy as a modality that does work in sacred ceremony with the Earth and the cosmos as something that's akin to a plant medicine journey. Because we're working with Gaia, who's the master alchemist and plant medicine mommy. So if you wanna feel ayahuasca, you can do that with her without needing to actually puke your guts out in the jungle. And it has the same heart-opening, consciousness-expanding psychedelic effects. Mm-hmm. 'Cause, like, there's DMT in our brain. Like, we can activate that. We can activate, uh, serotonin, and dopamine, and oxytocin through the magic of the work that we do without needing to take anything in. And let me tell you, it's so much easier to recover. You might be a little sleepy after. But yeah, you're not, like, cracked out, feeling like you were just awake for, like, or being awake for 14 hours after an LSD trip. Like, much easier to integrate.

Ariana

Yeah. Yeah, I've, uh, I've heard that you sometimes after doing those, those drugs that you feel like you've been hit by a bus for a day or two after.

Kacie

Yeah. Well, I mean, okay, I was a raver in like the early 2000s. So like there, there was also the up dancing all night for two days straight kind of experiences that I had, which I regret nothing of because there was so many formative experiences there. But even when I was doing any kind of mind-altering substance, I think I was relying on some of my like past lives and shamanic understanding even when I was like 16 years old, and I would be doing ceremony work and like a blessing the substances and making sure that I was working in a way that was for the highest and best good of all, which is probably rare. And I, I usually felt pretty good. Um, you know, never had a bad experience to be honest because of that intentionality around it. And also, I wouldn't recommend people go that route now because back then, 20, 30 years ago, the energy of the earth was very different. The frequency was lower. So we used these substances to expand our consciousness into higher frequencies where we'd have more access to things that we didn't normally. Mm-hmm. But the, the baseline frequency of the earth has raised so much that it's not necessary the same way, and actually taking those substances can lower your frequency. Yeah. So it's definitely like in the new paradigm, in this new world that we are in right now, 'cause it is nothing like how it used to be, it's not as safe. It's not as effective. You can still have amazing experiences, but it's more dangerous even psychically 'cause there's also a lot more holes in the astral realm and a lot more general stress and disembodiment. And if you're using external substances to inflate your consciousness without the proper integration, psychosis and other issues will come up just more often. And the same goes if you're expanding your consciousness without mentorship and guidance and the sacred space and the divine connection 'cause spiritual psychosis from people just prying open their third eye instead of having that energy preparation that we do to create safety- Mm-hmm is actually a real problem right now in- Yeah you know, the spiritual circles. People are going crazy 'cause they don't have the proper evolutionary sequence of events taking place in the right order, and they're also not working with the divine.

Ariana

Right. Yeah.

Kacie

If they don't feel safe, if their heart is not open, and then they have those crazy experiences, it can't be integrated properly into the body.

Ariana

Right. Sorry, I'm just taking that all in. And then, so what is one permission slip that you find yourself giving clients again and again that creates breakthroughs?

Kacie

Oh. Giving people permission slips is one of my favorite things. So I have so many, but the first is, like, it's actually okay for this to be easier than you think it should be

Ariana

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Kacie

We like to overcomplicate things, and especially because the women I work with are not at the beginning of their journey, and they've done so much healing work, and they've done so much shadow work, and et cetera, et cetera, that they're at the point of clarity that I just walk them through some of the last remaining big pieces, and we clear the channel to the point that we can do 90 seconds of work. And they're like, "Oh my God, I feel so much better. I feel light. I remember who I am." And they're like, "Holy shit, that was easy." I'm like, "And that's where you're at now." You have permission to make it be this easy. You've put in so much work. You don't have to hold onto the old idea that it has to take a long time, it has to be really hard, or you have to carry things around with you for weeks before you process them fully. Like, it can be so fast and easy now that it makes your head spin. And you can even feel guilty about it because, like, your processing time is sped up to the point that you're like, "Oh, it looks like spiritual bypassing," but no, I'm good. Like, I actually processed everything.

Ariana

That was something that, yeah, like I've noticed too is even because like, you know that I was just in Portland and speaking at a conference there, and, I was so nervous to do my speech or my presentation, and it was just... Yeah, we get in our heads that it's gonna be so much more difficult, so much harder. But like when you're working with through source and with Gaia and everything, and you're in that sacred space, it just... Like I had tech issues, and I was like, "Oh my God, I don't have my notes. Like, what if I forget what I'm gonna say?" You know, like it was just like that was kind of going through my head. But at the same time, I didn't fully have the time to sit there in that. But I had called in sacred space and, you know, got myself into alignment, and everything just flowed. It just came through. It was... It just, like it was easy. And I was expecting it to be so hard, you know, or whatever, but it's just like once you're able to get into that, it just flows.

Kacie

It's all this work sometimes reconnecting to the divine flow. And it doesn't make sense to people until they experience it, and they're like, "Oh. Oh, that's what... 'Cause it's flow state in life where things just work out. You're guided. You're a clear channel. You've got the support from the divine. You can roll with the challenges and not get completely trapped by them, and then it does get to be easy.

Ariana

Mm-hmm.

Kacie

That's so good.

Ariana

Yeah And so what fears have you noticed come up the most often when clients start choosing themselves, and what's your process for moving them through it?

Kacie

There are so many fears- 'cause the ego is that sneaky devil who wants to keep you in the same place because that is where you are safe. So the biggest overarching fear, that then there are many fears that will like come from this, is the fear of the unknown.

Ariana

Mm-hmm.

Kacie

When we don't know, we give up the illusion of control. We never actually have control anyway, but when things are staying in the realm of what we've done before, when we're not growing, learning, expanding, it feels safe and comfortable, and the ego's like, "All right. This is good." So the second we are growing, we are moving into the unknown, it is terrifying for the part of us that is doing its job and just trying to keep us alive, right? But the thing is, the ego is meant to not be killed. We need the ego to keep, you know, good g- from wasting this human vessel, right? Like, if we have no ego, we could just like walk out into traffic and not be worried about it because we don't care about our life at all, right? Like, and, and these, these bodies are precious. So it's about not letting the ego drive the bus, but actually having our soul come into our body and lead us into the unknown with this faith and trust in the divine and yourself that allows the unknown to not be terrifying.

Ariana

Mm-hmm.

Kacie

But the ego needs like this soul embodiment process to happen before it's gonna actually sit back and be like, "Okay. I'll help drive. I'll help navigate. I'll point out any like massive dangers, but I'm..." Have you seen the movie Inside Out 2

Ariana

by chance? Yes. Yeah.

Kacie

So it's like that with anxiety. Like you could replace the word anxiety with ego in that, and when she was the only one in control, like- everything went terribly wrong and it was not good at all.

Ariana

Yes.

Kacie

She's an essential part of the team.

Ariana

Yeah. It's funny, you're the second person in the last two days... Well, my physiotherapist yesterday actually brought up Inside Out to me, and then today you brought up Inside Out 2.

Kacie

Amazing. Time for a rewatch perhaps?

Ariana

I guess so. Um, I was gonna... Uh, that thought just completely Left me. I was gonna say something about that, and now I... It is gone. Okay.

Kacie

I would just add for anyone that is unfamiliar, 'cause maybe they don't have kids or they didn't see it, uh, Inside Out and Inside Out 2 are these children's movies that I think should be required watching for adults too, because it actually perfectly encapsulates how we create and form beliefs and identity work. And so, like... And, and how emotions work inside of us. And it's really supportive to have this really clear understanding of how we actually have more control over our beliefs and our identity and our emotions than we think we do, but it's a co-creation, and we can't, like, not have feelings. We've gotta work with them.

Ariana

Yes. And it's... It- they're so good. The first one, I was like, "Oh my God, I love this movie." Like, it is, even for adults, it is an incredible movie.

Kacie

You know, at the time that came out, I had a blue pixie cut. Yeah. And I was working with kids a lot of the time, teaching, um, you know, m- movement arts and performing arts, hula hooping and things, and they were like, "You look exactly like Joy." And I was like, "I'll take it."

Ariana

That's awesome. Oh, this is what I was gonna say before too, is that I have, interestingly enough, noticed that, when I actually allow myself to step into the unknown or to do the things that I'm, like, afraid to do, those tend to be the things that either, one, I enjoy the most, like I find them the most fun, or they bring me the most growth. And they're never as scary as I convince myself that they're going to be.

Kacie

I- speaking of kids movies, I was hearing Into The Unknown from Frozen II while you were speaking. The whole time, all of these shows are coding children with some beautiful principles for, like, growth and evolution. And you are exactly right. Because the comfort bubble of the known is our safe zone, but there is no growth or learning that happens there, right? And the thing is, like, yes, being safe, you're alive, but it's boring. You're not thriving. And most of us came here to not just stay alive, right? Like- Right that's, that's the baseline. The way we want to learn, we want to grow, we wanna have evolutionary experiences and see what's possible, and that is when we're in our learning zone. Which, to me, when I'm feeling freaked out about stepping out of my comfort zone, when I don't think of it in terms of the binary, like I'm in my comfort zone, I'm outside my comfort zone, but I think of my comfort zone as like where I go to make sure I am feeling filled up and safe and content. And then outside of that is my learning zone. I'm a lot more likely to be like, "All right, let's go. I love learning stuff." And it's okay if it's new because you don't know until you know, and it's okay to practice and screw up and be a beginner. So that reframe has also helped me be in comfort with like all of the new things. But they... Sometimes we just have to be scared of them and do it anyway. Mm-hmm. And then be like, "Yay, I did it."

Ariana

Yeah.

Kacie

And then we get more confidence in ourselves, right? Like after you did your show with the silks, I bet that leveled up your confidence, and it was across all areas. 'Cause how we do one thing is how we do everything.

Ariana

Yeah And I also love that you brought right after bringing up Inside Out, and you talked about how you- kids used to tell you that you look like Joy, um, then you brought up Frozen, and that's funny because, um, when I had my natural blonde hair, and if I would do, like, a side braid, I'd have kids coming up to me all the time and being like, "Oh my God, Mom. Mom, she looks like Elsa. She looks like Elsa."

Kacie

Well, right now you kind of look like Anna, so

Ariana

Yeah, that's true.

Kacie

They're both sisters.

Ariana

Yep. It's that duality. Duality and unison.

Kacie

Mm-hmm. Awesome.

Ariana

Okay. So I just wanna ask you one more question here. How do you help clients really, like, anchor into their power rather than slipping back into the performance mode?

Kacie

Mm. I remind them every time that they slip. I love working with people long-term in if, if they were working in a one-on-one sort of experience or in a mastermind. Like, let's work together for nine months or a year because it takes a while to completely rewire your entire subconscious and super conscious mind. Mm. And I tell them they can borrow my confidence and belief in them and everything until they have their own. But I also offer the homework of, like, doing the mystical pieces and prepping their field and getting into the earth energy and the cosmic energy and running it, like, at least once a day, if not twice, so that they don't just have to remember. They're literally activating it before they need it. Right. Right. 'Cause that's when it's the most powerful. Like, sure, do it at, like, when you notice, "Oh my gosh, I'm out of my power," and you can, like, catch up. But, like, start your day like that. Do it in towards the end of your day, too, or before you do something difficult, and then it's already there for you.

Ariana

Yes.

Kacie

And so creating this, like, rhythmic action and habitual reconnection to the divine is the best way of going about it, in my opinion. And then also having the community or mentorship that's like, "And yes, this is what we're doing."

Ariana

And then you had mentioned to me too that, um, you have the sparkle field activation meditation- Mm-hmm

Kacie

for, to share with our listeners. Yeah. This has a lot of the elements of the prep your field that we... I teach my facilitators to walk people through. But this one in particular, you get to do for you, and it's gonna create a high-frequency luminous field around you that is powered by the earth and source, so you're not running off battery power, and then you get to program your field. So you are setting your intention to be whatever you wanna be, magnetic, powerful, magical, being, you know, like healthy, vibrant, whatever. You just create that field around you, and it works like a shield, but so much better because you're not trying to protect yourself from something. You're just out of phase with the density and the ick, so it can't stick to you. But you're not protecting yourself and putting up these shields to, like, really make you inaccessible to, you know, all that life has to offer. Sometimes when we're just shielding ourselves, we're, like, walking around in survival mode, going, "I'm not safe, I'm not safe." This is like protecting your energy, but in this way that is open and available to money, magic, miracles, like all of those things, so.

Ariana

Mm-hmm.

Kacie

It's a really fun activation.

Ariana

It is. I love it. And like, I do like my... 'Cause now I've gotten myself to the point that I can calibrate to it easily. So I'll go like, "Sparkle field, activate," and I snap. And it's just like, it gives me this instant tingle, and I always do this little kind of dance and everything.

Kacie

Yes. If you do it a few times, then you can set that shortcut. You just have to teach your body what it feels like, and it does not have to take much time. Though if you're feeling really crappy and you need to move energy first, you might need to do some work and then try to do the energy work. Mm-hmm. And it might go through the longer process. But if you're feeling pretty open and light, like, that is all it takes. It does get to be that easy.

Ariana

And something that... Like, I've started doing this before work every day. So I'll often do it, um, I often kind of do the whole prep the field on my drive to work.

Kacie

Ooh, good.

Ariana

And it has made... Like, when I'm... 'Cause I'm a sonographer, and so my days can be very stressful, es- especially at the clinic. They're very fast-paced. Um, and I used to get very overwhelmed and stressed out and everything very easily some days with it. But doing this has helped me to hold my composure and not to get, like, so worked up with things, and just helps me to go about my day easier. And I don't have those days very much anymore where it's like, "Oh my God, when is this d- day gonna be over?" You know? And so it just... I found it very, very helpful for when I'm going to work and everything. So for any listeners out there who are like, you know, y- you kinda want that extra little, um... I don't know what word to use. That, not comfort, but, like, um, to help you get through the day. This is... Kacie's Activation is great for that, so.

Kacie

Oh. I love it. And yeah, people that are very energetically sensitive have told me that it has allowed them to go to the grocery store without feeling like they're exhausted afterwards, picking up everybody's energy. Or they could go to a concert and, or hang out with friends and not feel drained. Yeah. And partially it's 'cause of that battery power thing. You're not running off your own thing. You're not shielding yourself. You're connected. But also, it just lets you set the tone, right? So energy's not, and life isn't happening at you. Other people's energy isn't just, like, bombarding you. You are the one that is setting the field frequency around you. You command it, and that is putting you totally back in your power.

Ariana

Yeah. Yeah. And it's- So good

Kacie

it feels so good.

Ariana

All right. So thank you so much for joining me today, Kacie. As we wrap up, what is the biggest thing that you would like listeners to take away from our conversation today?

Kacie

Oh, that you're so magical. Mm. And you don't have to do it on your own. Like, not even just the divine support, like access that. Try the Sparkle Field, you'll see what I mean. But get yourself into community with people who believe in magic, they believe that all of this is possible, and it can be easy. Instead of around the people that are telling you that everything sucks, and it has to be hard. Yeah. Because whatever you believe and surround yourself with is what you are going to experience and believe is true.

Ariana

Yes.

Kacie

So you are magical. It doesn't have to be that hard, and like, you're allowed to have fun with it, and enjoy it. And pleasure is going to help more than you can ever imagine. So if you prioritize it, you get a lot of your power back.

Ariana

Yes. Love that. Okay, and what's next for you, and where can our amazing listeners go to learn more about you?

Kacie

Mm. Well, besides just going to pick up my daughter from school now I am actually gonna be launching another round of the, uh, Evolutionary Alchemy certification, where people can learn how to do this work. So that's what you've been studying for this past year, and you... Thank you for sharing how, you know, f- much fun you've had with it and how powerful it is. So that'll be, uh, doors opening in June. I'll have a master class where I'm gonna teach some of these things, like the prep the field. People can, uh, come and check that out. But I do always have opportunities to work with me on a personal level, even if the facilitator training isn't coming up. So whether that's in my membership, mastermind, or in my mentorship, there's, yeah, lots of ways to actually s- experience this work so you can feel better and actually have all the fun and remember who you are and enjoy life and do all the things, the soul work that you're here to do. And you can find me most places online. Uh, I- if you share my links there, people can find me on- Yes Facebook, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, um, on my own podcast, which is on hiatus right now, but there's some golden older episodes there, YouTube as well, and it is mostly under The Luminous Evolution or Kacie Aileen Knight.

Ariana

Amazing. Yes, I will post those all in the show notes there for anyone who wants to take a look or reach out.

Kacie

Yeah. And if you do sign up for the Sparkle Field Activation, then, um, we will be in connection 'cause you'll be on my email list, and that's where I'll be sharing more details about the upcoming facilitator training, so.

Ariana

Yes. And I, as someone who's gone through it, I highly, highly recommend it, and I have absolutely loved working with Kacie. It's been amazing. So I- Thank you if anyone's thinking about it, I highly recommend. All right. Thank you so much. Thank

Kacie

you so much.

Ariana
