Georgia Pettit is a Queens-based musician, meditator, and founder of The Luminary Agency, a creative group dedicated to serving the spiritual development sector. Her agency work calls on her to write metaphysical articles, create guided meditations, and build meditation-based retreats, classes, and events. Georgia fronts a rock/shoegaze band called Our Lady of Sorrows which she uses as a vehicle for unraveling, celebrating, and abolishing the many implications of being raised in a mystical, dogmatic religion. Their debut 7in’, 'good graces / worth it,' is out now. Georgia considers herself a Non-theistic / Pagan / Buddhist / Mystical-Catholic who is also a meditation guide and reiki master.
So, Georgia, what woo-woo things do you do?
❍ I listen to Dr. Theresa Bullard
As if having a paid subscription to Gaia isn’t enough, I regularly watch and re-watch Dr. Theresa Bullard’s Modern Mystery School series. She’s a physicist, an initiate, a babe, and most importantly a very clear communicator of very complex metaphysical subjects. There are four seasons and each one serves as a kind of curriculum. Each episode is about 30 mins with titles like, “How to Access the Quantum Gap,” “How to Astral Travel,” “Reclaiming the Divine Feminine,” “The Hologram Universe Explained,” and more! I have ones I watch over and over and again because I don't understand but trust that what she's saying is completely true and very important.
❍ I lay on my BioMat
I got my Biomat mini on E-bay about 5 years ago for about $350 and it might be the object I’ve used the most in my adult life. I take naps on it, I work on it, I watch netflix on it, I do reiki on it. It has the same effect as being in a hot tub because it heats you from the inside with long far-infra rays. Kind of makes you feel high after a little while.
❍ Vintage Metaphysical Books
There’s a free book swap by my place in Sunnyside that has a nice vein of these sort of dated, out-there, wild books with topics like, The Healing Power of Visualizations, The Secret Meaning of the Lost City of Atlantis, Channeled Conversations with the Historical Jesus. My all-time favorite to date is “Bringers of the Dawn: Teachings from the Pleiadians” which talks a lot of the potentiality of DNA. I love finding common themes between them. A typical one kind of reads like - its a very special time to be a human. There’s rapid evolution happening. Time to level up. Don't get distracted. Don’t be scared.
❍ Insight Timer
I use Insight timer for the meditation timer cause it has nice gong sounds but also because it keeps track on how many days in a row you have meditated. It's lame of me to need this kind of right-brain motivation but losing my streak in the app really keeps me honest. Its cheesy but I also like the features that shows you the other people who are meditating at the same time as you. In a world of remoteness its a nice touch.
❍ Gnostic Teachings
I have a fascination with Jesus. There’s a palpable power there that I feel was both unwantedly thrust on me and that I somehow can’t access but deeply crave. I resent the whole thing but also have a lot of empathy for how his teachings got turned around on him. He also might not have existed? Its all very confusing but the gnostic gospels on Jesus are very helpful in reframing Jesus as a being that offers a connection with Christ Consciousness (the crown chakra) which is basically the realization of the paradox that union with God is accessible through personal embodiment. Ahhhhh.
❍ Chani’s Forecast
I love a Monday morning (not a joke, weekends are hard for me) so getting to start off the week off with Chani Nicolas giving us the astrological scoop in about 12 minutes is joy to me. It's like the news but for our solar system.
❍ Book that Changed Your Life
Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior is the central text of my spiritual path. It's an essential manual for those who have a tendency to drift in and out of the abyss - anyone? Taken down from his talks in the 1970's, its a fierce but gentle instruction on how to continue to choose wakefulness. I joke this book saved my life, or more accurately showed me how to operate a life.
Chogyam Trungpa is a controversial figure. My take is that it takes someone who struggles with addiction and depression to advise on how to work with addiction and depression. Like a lot of people, I feel cosmically connected to Trungpa’s particular interpretation of Buddhism to the degree often have the sensation I timed my birth so that I could have the support of his teachings during my time on earth. My main meditation teacher Robert Chender, was a direct studnet of Trungpa's so I feel like I got a front row seat, even if I was a little late.
❍ Bonus Bite
I keep this 4 min video from School of Life for a hit of 'you are enough' energy in my bookmark bar
Whose someone pretty wooey you’d like to hear from next? ✨
Friend and Luminary client George Constantinou runs a wholistic gym with regular breath work classes. I love catching up with George because he’s a deeply committed practitioner who dives into disciplines and methodologies with a full, Capricorn heart. Always down to hear what he’s incorporating.
