Emily, what does spiritual alignment mean to you? 

Emily Aarons: Spiritual alignment is when my inner world and outer actions are in harmony. It’s that quiet knowing that I’m not just following a strategy but following my soul. It means I’m connected to Source, led by my higher self, and trusting the divine timing of my path, even when it doesn’t look linear or make sense to anyone else. 

Do you have a morning or evening ritual that helps you stay grounded and connected to Source? 

Emily Aarons: My mornings start slowly and intentionally. I begin with gratitude and breathwork, then I tune into Spirit through a simple 1-minute body-scan meditation or a guided energy clearing. I often pull cards or journal to receive guidance for the day. I plug in energetically so I can lead from a full cup. 

You’re an energy healer, but you also lead a large community and run a thriving business. How do you balance being a vessel for healing with your own self-care?

Emily Aarons: I’ve learned the hard way that I can’t pour from an empty cup. I take my own alignment seriously. I have boundaries around my time and energy. I say no often and lean on my own energetic tools when I am feeling off. Just like I support my clients in staying aligned, I make sure I’m doing the same for myself first, knowing that I can only hold others when I am anchored deeply. 

When you’re feeling spiritually disconnected in life or business, what’s your go-to practice to come back to center? 

Emily Aarons: When life throws curve balls, the first thing I do is get grounded by visualizing a bright white light around me to clear my energy field and then I envision roots coming out of the soles of my feet to reconnect me with the earth. Alternatively, I step outside to put my bare feet on the grass for a few minutes and breathe deeply while tuning into the sounds of the birds, cars passing by, and sun on my skin.

How do you help women trust their inner voice in a world that rewards external validation?

Emily Aarons: Their intuition is not just a whisper but a superpower. We’ve been conditioned to outsource our power, to look for answers outside ourselves. A simple 1-minute body scan every day builds up your intuition “muscle” to begin asking for information and trusting that subtle voice within to be your guide. My work helps women come home to their inner wisdom and rebuild that trust. Through energy work, meditation, and mindset coaching, they are guided back to their own knowing where truth and success live. 

What do you believe is the spiritual responsibility of conscious leaders? 

Emily Aarons: Our responsibility is to walk in integrity with what we teach. To lead from within. Conscious leadership is about awareness, humility, and alignment. Choosing presence over performance. We’re here to create new paradigms, and that means healing our own patterns so we don’t pass them down through our leadership. Sometimes the hardest thing for conscious leaders to hear is they need to practice what they preach. 

Do you work with guides, angels, or ancestral energy as part of your process? 

Emily Aarons: If so, how do they show up for you? Yes, always. I work with Spirit Guides, angels, and ancestral energies who support me daily in my personal and professional life. They often show up in visuals, words, sensations in my body, or even songs. When I do energy readings or create content, I open myself as a clear channel and allow their guidance to come through co-creation.

You’ve mentioned rest as a spiritual practice. Speak to the sacredness of rest in your journey. 

Emily Aarons: Rest is a reclamation, especially as a woman, as a mother, and as a business owner. Some of my most profound downloads, breakthroughs, and healing have come in stillness. It’s so easy to get caught up in working harder to prove our worthiness, so rest can also be an act of resistance to masculine “hustle” mindset. Rest reconnects me to Source. It reminds me I’m not here to hustle: I’m here to receive, to create, to be. And that’s sacred. 

What’s the soul legacy you feel called to leave through your work? 

Emily Aarons: I want to leave a legacy of remembrance. I want women, especially leaders, to remember who they are beneath the noise. To know that their energy is their greatest asset, their intuition is their compass, and they are deeply supported by the Universe.
