Life often unfolds in ways we could scarcely imagine, weaving paths that connect science and spirit, intellect and intuition. Shehnaz Soni, our guest on today’s episode, exemplifies this wondrous dance. As a NASA aerospace engineer and a quantum coach, she navigates the intersection of high-tech innovation and metaphysical insight, proving that these realms are not separate but two sides of the same coin. Her story is one of unshakable courage, relentless curiosity, and a fearless embrace of the unknown.Imagine growing up in a culture that limits your questions, a world where inquiry is stifled, and possibilities feel boxed in by tradition. Yet, from a young age, Shehnaz was an outlier, a seeker of truths that no one dared to ask. "If you're questioning it, it's because it is questionable," she tells us. It is this inherent defiance, this determination to understand life’s mysteries, that propelled her from the shores of Karachi, Pakistan, to the cutting-edge laboratories of NASA.Her journey is a masterclass in transformation. As Shehnaz recounts, she arrived in the United States at 21, speaking little English and bound by the constraints of an arranged marriage. But adversity, rather than discouraging her, became her greatest teacher. Her ability to adapt, learn, and persevere led her to a career where she’s not only building the technology of tomorrow but also challenging the paradigms of today. She shares with us how working on projects like the International Space Station and the Artemis Moon mission has expanded her understanding of what it means to bridge science and spirituality.In one particularly poignant moment, Shehnaz reflects on her near-death experience at the age of 12—a moment that reshaped her worldview forever. Pulled into the depths of the ocean and on the verge of drowning, she recalls the life review she experienced: “It was like watching a movie of my life, rewinding all the way back to the womb.” This event, she believes, set her on a path of fearless living, free from the fear of death, and imbued her with the clarity to see beyond life’s illusions.Her spiritual awakening didn’t just fuel her personal growth; it also gave her the courage to challenge societal norms. Despite her demanding role at NASA, Shehnaz devotes herself to raising consciousness, teaching others about the interplay of quantum physics and spirituality. "We are here to live at our highest potential," she says, emphasizing that our limitations are often self-imposed. Her message is clear: we are all capable of creating our own playgrounds of possibility.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSQuestion Everything: Trust your intuition, especially when something feels off. As Shehnaz advises, “Honor the red flags you sense—they’re nudges guiding you to greater awareness.”Integrate Creativity and Logic: Shehnaz speaks about balancing her creative and logical sides, allowing each to enhance the other. “The more creative you become, the quicker you solve problems,” she explains.Life Happens for You, Not to You: Shifting this perspective, as Shehnaz suggests, allows us to see obstacles as stepping stones, not barriers.As our conversation wraps up, one thing becomes abundantly clear: Shehnaz’s life is a testament to the power of embracing dualities. She thrives in a world where rockets and algorithms coexist with meditations and metaphysical musings. Her journey invites us to do the same, to embrace the richness of our multidimensional selves, and to live courageously, unapologetically, and fully.

Life, as we know it, is a canvas draped in the unknown, and within that uncertainty lies the secret beauty of our human journey. On today's episode, we welcome Bree Melanson, a gifted channeler who invites us to step into the fullness of who we truly are. With her unique ability to connect with higher consciousness, Bree guides us through the very fabric of existence—a dance between the seen and unseen, the tangible and the divine.Bree’s story begins in the most relatable way—a quiet knowing buried beneath years of conditioned doubt. She shares how, as a child, her intuition was alive, vivid, and undeniable, yet it was tucked away when the world failed to affirm it. “Every challenge is an opportunity for you to step forth into who you truly are,” Bree Melanson reminds us, inviting us to embrace life’s struggles as sacred teachers. Her spiritual reawakening came when life nudged her through hardship—her mother’s illness and the deep existential questions it stirred. This path, she reflects, is often paved not with ease, but with a series of whispers asking, Are you ready to return to yourself?What makes Bree’s wisdom extraordinary is her ability to bridge the ethereal with the earthly. As a channel, she becomes a vessel through which higher beings and universal truths flow—truths that remind us of our interconnectedness with all creation. “Have you not been living in the unknown all along?” she asks, shattering our fear of uncertainty. For Bree, the unknown is not a void to dread, but the very space where magic is birthed—where love, creation, and transformation arise.Throughout the conversation, Bree offers an elegant reframe of life’s challenges. Whether we call them energetic blockages or unresolved wounds, they are merely signposts guiding us back to alignment. She teaches us that emotions are not obstacles to overcome, but messengers inviting us to release illusion and embody our most authentic selves. By asking, Is this thought or belief true? we loosen the grip of the ego and reclaim the quiet, boundless wisdom of the soul.Bree also shares practical ways to reconnect with intuition, urging us to follow what lights us up. Intuition, she explains, is not a voice outside of us but the language of our own soul. When we align with what brings joy, harmony, and presence, we naturally attune to our higher selves. “You are never fully out of control,” she reassures us, emphasizing that surrender is not about losing power, but about rediscovering it in partnership with the divine flow.In a profound channeling session, Bree allows higher consciousness to flow through her, delivering messages of hope and remembrance. Humanity, she shares, is on the brink of an awakening—a great restructuring where the old, limiting ways of being fall away. It is a time to turn inward, to nurture the light within, and to recognize that every perceived challenge is an invitation to embody our inherent power. The future, she reminds us, is not something to fear, but something we create through the resonance of our own truth.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Challenges are sacred opportunities. Every struggle reveals where we are disconnected from our true selves and offers us a path back to wholeness.Intuition is the soul’s language. Follow the things that light you up—they are guiding you toward your most aligned and expansive self.Presence quiets the ego. When we fully inhabit the present moment, suffering dissolves, and our connection to source becomes clear and undeniable.As Bree so eloquently conveys, our journey on this Earth is not about escaping the unknown but about embracing it. The unseen realms are not separate from us; they are waiting to meet us as we expand our awareness and step into the fullness of our being. In this unfolding, we remember who we are: creators, light-bearers, and reflections of the infinite.

In today's enlightening episode, we welcome Jonathan Goldman, a pioneer in the field of sound healing. Jonathan's journey into the world of sound began in the late 1970s, playing rock and roll in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. An epiphany struck him as he observed the negative atmosphere his music contributed to in a club. This realization led him to explore the potential of sound not just to create moods but to heal. Jonathan shares, "The power of the music has to do not only with the frequencies and the sounds but also the energy that is encoded in it. Music and Sound is a carrier of our consciousness." Throughout our conversation, Jonathan delves into the profound connection between sound, frequency, and healing. He introduces us to the concept that everything in the universe is vibration, a notion shared by ancient mystics and modern quantum physicists alike. This understanding forms the foundation of sound healing, which Jonathan has spent decades mastering. Jonathan recounts his early days of sound healing, highlighting the importance of intention. "Frequency plus intent equals healing," he explains. This principle, he discovered, is essential in creating the desired therapeutic effects through sound. He emphasizes that the intention behind the sound is just as critical as the sound itself, a belief reinforced by his extensive research and practice. One of the most intriguing aspects of our discussion is Jonathan's explanation of psychoacoustics and vibroacoustics. While psychoacoustics involves sound affecting the brain and nervous system through the ears, vibroacoustics entails sound penetrating the body at a cellular level, affecting everything from molecules to DNA. This dual approach to sound therapy illustrates the extensive reach of sound's healing potential. We also explore the role of silence in sound healing. "Silence is golden," Jonathan asserts, describing it as the yin to sound's yang. In silence, true shifts and changes occur, allowing the body and mind to integrate and resonate with the healing frequencies. In our conversation, Jonathan Goldman reminds us of the ancient wisdom embedded in sound, urging us to harness this knowledge for healing ourselves and the planet. His insights into the therapeutic power of the hum, a simple yet profound practice, provide a tangible tool for anyone seeking to reduce stress and enhance well-being.

On today’s episode, we welcome Adam Schomer, a filmmaker and seeker of spiritual truth whose journeys into the heart of the Himalayas on a motorcycle defy both logic and fear. Adam’s tale is one of daring exploration, not just across treacherous mountain roads, but deep into the soul’s yearning for meaning and transcendence.
Imagine standing at 12,000 feet amidst the majestic expanse of the Himalayas, with the stars overhead illuminating the timelessness of the moment. Adam’s journey began with a simple, yet profound question: "What would it mean to fully surrender to the unknown?" Guided by his guru, Anand Mehrotra, Adam embarked on a motorcycle pilgrimage that not only tested his physical limits but unraveled layers of ego and fear. As Adam puts it, “You can’t take on the Himalayas with your ego; it has to break down.”This wasn’t just an adventure; it was a spiritual gauntlet. For Adam, riding motorcycles in the Himalayas with no prior experience symbolized the ultimate act of letting go. The roads were more suggestion than structure—mud, loose rocks, and sheer drops into the abyss below. Early on, fear gripped him as he anticipated every misstep and imagined the worst. Yet, with Anand’s wisdom echoing in his mind, Adam leaned into faith: “Have more love than fear.”The trip was not without its dangers. Accidents and near-misses forced the group to confront mortality head-on. Adam recalled a pivotal moment, riding in complete darkness, blinded by oncoming headlights, where he thought, “This might be it. Do I want to die clinging to fear?” That realization shifted something fundamental within him. It was a choice to embrace the moment, however precarious, and trust the journey.Throughout the journey, Adam witnessed the unraveling of others in his group as their egos clashed with the relentless challenges of the road. Anand’s teachings, though simple, were transformative: "This isn’t about yoga mats and peace. This is about transcending.” The Himalayas, with their raw beauty and ancient mystique, seemed to amplify these lessons, inviting all who dared to climb into a deeper relationship with themselves.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The Himalayas as a Mirror: The mountains reflect our innermost fears and desires. To ascend them is to confront the self, raw and unadorned.The Power of Letting Go: True freedom lies in releasing control and embracing the unpredictability of life.Pilgrimage as Transformation: A spiritual journey reshapes not only how we see the world but how we see ourselves within it.Adam’s story reminds us of the sacred power of pilgrimage—not as a destination but as a process of becoming. The Himalayas may have tested him physically, but the true ascent was an internal one, reaching for higher truths and deeper peace.

In today’s episode, we embark on a profound journey into the spiritual teachings of David Hoffmeister, a modern-day mystic devoted to living the principles of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM). With a deep resonance of joy and an ever-present radiance of inner peace, David offers wisdom that bridges ancient teachings and contemporary challenges. His essence embodies the transformative power of forgiveness, trust, and divine guidance.We begin with David’s reflection on healing as a “state of perfect love and connectedness.” In his words, “What we’re trying to do is let go of all the interference patterns.” This simple yet profound teaching reminds us of the essential work: releasing the past, surrendering egoic attachments, and aligning with Spirit’s guidance. It is not about changing the external world but shifting our perception from fear to love.A significant part of our discussion delves into the metaphysical depth of ACIM, which David describes as a mind-training program designed to align us with unconditional love. The practice of forgiveness, as he explains, is not about pardoning someone for what they did but recognizing that “they did not do it” in the ultimate spiritual sense. This shift moves us from a place of judgment to a realm of divine understanding—a core tenet of the Course that liberates us from the chains of the past.We also explore the idea of vulnerability as a pathway to healing. Vulnerability, David shares, is about shedding the protective layers of ego, much like peeling an onion, to reveal the authentic self. This process can be both terrifying and liberating. In the documentary "Take Me Home," which David co-produced, participants courageously practiced radical transparency, confronting their deepest fears and shadows. The result? A transformative experience of inner peace and spiritual awakening.Central to David’s teachings is the recognition of our perceptual errors—the illusions we hold about ourselves and the world. He likens these illusions to Plato’s allegory of the cave, where shadows on the wall are mistaken for reality. “We need to step into the light,” he says, urging us to release our attachments to the physical and embrace the spiritual. This perspective not only alleviates personal suffering but also fosters a collective awakening.One of the more striking moments in our conversation was David’s insight into fear and love. “Your real fear is a fear of love,” he explains. At first, this might seem counterintuitive, but as he elaborates, it becomes clear that our fear stems from the unknown—the vast, infinite love of God that challenges our limited, egoic sense of self. The spiritual journey, then, becomes a process of unlearning fear and embracing the divine.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Forgiveness as Liberation: True forgiveness involves recognizing that no harm was ever done in the ultimate reality. This shifts our perception from grievance to gratitude.Vulnerability as Strength: By shedding our protective layers, we create space for healing and authentic connection with Spirit.Guidance Over Ego: Trusting inner guidance leads us to a life of peace, joy, and divine purpose, free from the confines of egoic identity.David reminds us of the power of trust and surrender. He calls us to live an inspired life, where joy and discovery become our natural states. Through his teachings and the profound insights of "Take Me Home," we are invited to step beyond fear, embrace love, and remember our true essence.

In today's podcast episode, we welcome the profoundly insightful Julie Ryan, a medical intuitive and energy healer who blends her extensive background in business and invention with her spiritual practice. Julie's unique perspective comes from decades of experience in energy healing, communicating with spirit, and guiding humanity through the ever-shifting landscape of spiritual consciousness. Her ability to simplify complex spiritual concepts into digestible wisdom has touched countless lives.Our conversation dives headfirst into the heart of humanity's spiritual evolution. Julie explains that the turbulence we feel globally is not the end but rather the shattering of old paradigms to make way for new, higher-vibrational realities. "You can't pour champagne into a bucket full of Kool-Aid," she says, a metaphor underscoring the need to release outdated beliefs to make room for more refined, enlightening perspectives. This shift is an invitation for humanity to embrace spirituality over fear-driven dogma, to seek inner clarity rather than external validation.One of the most profound insights Julie shares is the role of intention in manifesting and connecting with the spirit realm. As she describes, "Spirit communicates on the high vibration channel because they don’t have the density of a body." The ability to tune into this frequency is accessible to everyone, as long as we align ourselves with love, curiosity, and neutrality. For Julie, it's not just about hearing from the other side but empowering people to recognize their inherent connection to this universal wisdom.Throughout the episode, Julie demystifies fears surrounding death and the afterlife, particularly the transitional journey of the soul. She introduces us to her concept of the "12 Phases of Transition," a sequence she has witnessed repeatedly during her work with the dying. This deeply comforting framework highlights the ever-present love and support from spirits, angels, and deceased loved ones. For those grieving or facing loss, her stories bring peace and reassurance that no one transitions alone.In addressing modern challenges, Julie emphasizes the importance of discerning real fears from those rooted in illusion. She offers her "two-minute rule," a practice to help differentiate between immediate physical danger and unnecessary anxiety. "Ask yourself," she advises, "'Is this going to kill me in the next two minutes?' If not, let it go." This simple yet profound tool can help us stay grounded and connected to our higher selves amidst life's chaos.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Fear and Love Are Vibrations: Fear lowers our ability to connect with spirit and manifest our desires. Aligning with love and curiosity raises our vibration and invites divine guidance.Intention Is Key: Your thoughts and focus determine what you manifest and whom you connect with in the spirit realm. Attention plus intention opens the door to limitless possibilities.Death Is a Transition, Not an End: Every soul is surrounded by love and support in their final moments, proving that our journeys are never solitary.As humanity grapples with shifting paradigms, Julie sees a future brimming with hope and possibility. She envisions a collective awakening where people shed fear-based programming and embrace spiritual empowerment. Her faith in the resilience of human creativity and our innate ability to heal and grow shines through.

In this luminous exploration of spiritual truths, we welcome John Davis, a returning guest who unearths the profound mysteries of Jesus’ life and teachings, while threading them through the looms of history, mythology, and personal experience. A gifted speaker with an extraordinary depth of spiritual insight, John Davis invites us to see beyond the veils of doctrine and into the divine fabric that connects us all.What if the story of Jesus extended far beyond the pages of traditional scripture? According to John, the journey of Jesus encompasses travels to Egypt, India, and Tibet, where he studied the mysteries of other cultures and ascended into a deep state of divine awareness. These explorations are not mere legend—they resonate as a hidden thread connecting the wisdom of various traditions. "God is too big and beautiful to be encompassed in one religion," John asserts, challenging us to expand our understanding of divinity.John’s insights are richly layered, often derived from personal past-life regressions and experiences of spiritual remembrance. He speaks of intimate visions, like witnessing a laughing Jesus alongside Mary Magdalene—a striking departure from the solemn depictions we often see. John’s recounting feels alive, not as historical conjecture, but as a vivid remembrance of a soul deeply attuned to the divine story.This conversation delves into some of humanity’s most provocative questions: Was Jesus married? Did he have children? And what really happened after the crucifixion? John’s personal memories suggest a narrative far more intricate and affirming than conventional dogma. For instance, the possibility that Jesus traveled to India after the resurrection—a journey of peace and fulfillment—adds a poetic conclusion to his earthly mission.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSReincarnation as Spiritual Truth: John discusses Jesus’ acknowledgment of reincarnation, such as referring to Elijah’s return as John the Baptist. This revelation bridges spiritual traditions and opens the door to a broader understanding of life’s cyclical journey.The Power of Divine Connection: "Greater works than I have done, you will do," Jesus’ empowering words echo throughout John’s insights, reminding us of our innate ability to tap into divine energy.God Is Beyond Labels: John urges us to look beyond the confines of religion to experience God as a boundless, universal consciousness. “We’re all on a personal journey, and God is too vast to fit within any single doctrine.”The conversation takes a turn toward the pragmatic yet mystical, as John shares an astounding story about how a Hindu guru manifested a guitar from San Francisco to India—a testament to the non-locality of divine power. Through such anecdotes, John paints a picture of a reality where faith, intention, and spiritual mastery dissolve the boundaries of the material world.As the dialogue unfolds, it becomes clear that Jesus’ journey—whether through Egypt’s pyramids, India’s sacred rivers, or Tibet’s monasteries—was more than a physical odyssey. It was a quest to embrace the divine unity inherent in all traditions and to illuminate humanity’s potential for love and transformation.John’s reflections invite us to shed the weight of inherited dogmas and walk with courage into the vast, interconnected mystery of existence. With each shared memory and insight, he reminds us that the true message of Jesus is not about separation, but unity. "Ye are gods," as Jesus once said, urging us to awaken to our own divinity.

The echoes of love lost and found reverberated in today's profound conversation with Nicky Alan, an internationally renowned psychic medium who shared her heart-wrenching yet soul-lifting journey of losing her soulmate, Darren. Nicky Alan, a former police detective, has walked through the fires of grief, only to emerge with lessons about the eternal nature of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring bond between souls.Loss, as Nicky poignantly puts it, "is the biggest, profound silence that you will ever face." Her recounting of Darren’s sudden passing—a tragic event filled with mystical encounters and divine messages—invites us into a world where the veil between the physical and spiritual realms feels thin and fleeting. In the moment of his departure, Nicky experienced what she described as a shared death experience, witnessing the spiritual transition of her beloved while anchored in her own mortal existence.This journey wasn’t without its trials. Darren’s passing brought not just grief but an avalanche of challenges from his estranged family. The material squabbles and toxic behaviors forced Nicky to navigate both the depths of personal loss and the murky waters of human greed. However, amidst the darkness, she found herself supported by an invisible army of angelic forces and her devoted community."Why are you drinking poison, hoping they will die from it?" This wisdom, attributed to Buddha, became a turning point for Nicky. She realized the futility of anger and resentment, choosing instead to channel her pain into a higher purpose: to heal, to serve, and to illuminate the path for others navigating their own storms of loss. Her message is one of empowerment, reminding us that even in the most harrowing of circumstances, we have a choice—between succumbing to despair or rising towards light and love.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The Eternal Bond Between Souls
Love transcends the physical realm. Even after their transition, loved ones find ways to communicate and connect with us, leaving behind signs and synchronicities that remind us of their enduring presence.The Power of Choice in Grief
Grief is a natural response to loss, but we have the power to decide how we navigate it. As Nicky reminds us, we can choose to rise above pain, transforming suffering into a source of strength and service.The Collective Energy of Support
Healing is amplified through community. Whether through spiritual guides, synchronicities, or the compassion of others, the collective power of love and light offers profound support in our darkest times.In the end, Nicky’s journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Her openness, vulnerability, and willingness to share her story serve as a guiding light for those walking their own paths of loss and rediscovery. For Nicky, the profound silence of Darren’s absence has been filled with an unwavering connection to his soul and an unshakable purpose to carry forward the love they shared.

In today’s conversation, we welcome the insightful Dr. Janice Holden, a pioneer in studying near-death experiences (NDEs) since the mid-1980s. Dr. Holden's deep well of knowledge and her compassionate curiosity about life’s greatest mysteries have inspired countless individuals to look beyond the veil of this reality. Her stories illuminate not only the phenomena of near-death experiences but the profound spiritual truths they unveil.Dr. Holden's journey began with an early fascination for phenomena that defy conventional explanation, later ignited by reading Dr. Raymond Moody's groundbreaking book on NDEs. As she delved deeper into this enigmatic field, she discovered a world that defies material explanations—a place where consciousness transcends the physical form and where the mysteries of life and death intertwine. Her accounts remind us that what lies beyond this mortal plane is far richer and more profound than we might imagine.One compelling topic discussed was the life review, a core feature of many NDEs. Imagine revisiting your life’s moments, but this time, experiencing not just your actions but their emotional impact on others. As Dr. Holden eloquently put it, "When I do unto you, I do unto me." This concept, shared by many experiencers, transforms how they perceive relationships and decisions, anchoring them in the power of love and interconnectedness.Dr. Holden also explored the less-discussed yet equally transformative distressing NDEs. She shared the story of a man who experienced a void of eternal isolation. For him, this profound darkness mirrored his lifetime of avoiding human connection. After the experience, he emerged with a newfound appreciation for love and community, reorienting his life toward meaningful relationships. Such tales remind us that even our darkest moments can spark deep personal growth.In discussing NDE phenomena, Dr. Holden highlighted remarkable veridical perceptions—instances where experiencers reported highly specific, accurate details about their surroundings while clinically dead. One striking example involved a patient who observed his surgeon flapping his arms during a procedure, a motion confirmed to be a specialized technique the surgeon used. These stories challenge our understanding of consciousness and its reach beyond the body.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Universal Connection: NDEs often reveal that we are deeply interconnected. As many experiencers recount, love is the essence that binds us all, transcending time and space.Life’s Purpose Through Love: Dr. Holden shared that NDEs consistently emphasize two main life purposes: loving others and expanding knowledge. These profound insights encourage us to focus on what truly matters.Growth in Adversity: Distressing NDEs, though challenging, often catalyze profound spiritual awakenings. They serve as reminders that our struggles can guide us toward deeper truths.Dr. Holden’s accounts illuminate the boundless mysteries of existence and challenge us to embrace our lives with curiosity and compassion. Through her research, she bridges the tangible and the ethereal, reminding us that even as we grapple with life’s uncertainties, the answers often lie within our hearts.

On today's episode, we welcome Gail Lynn, a visionary in sound and light healing. Her journey is a testament to how adversity can lead to profound innovation. Gail Lynn, an engineer turned holistic healer, has woven ancient wisdom with modern technology to pioneer groundbreaking therapies. Her story, intertwined with personal challenges and revelations, is one of resilience, curiosity, and a deep connection to the spiritual forces of sound and light.
In our discussion, Gail shared her fascinating journey through corporate America and Hollywood, battling health challenges like migraines, insomnia, and autoimmune issues that Western medicine couldn't resolve. Her pursuit of alternative methods led her to a transformative encounter with sound and light therapy, a modality she initially approached with skepticism. Witnessing its profound impact, including the disappearance of her migraines and restoration of her eyesight, Gail immersed herself in the study of frequencies, vibrations, and their effects on the human body."True healing happens when you address the root cause," Gail explained. She emphasized that the body doesn't recognize diseases by name but as imbalances that can be corrected by tuning into its vibrational nature. Her insights into the interplay of sound, light, and the body's energy systems illuminate how ancient practices like chakra alignment and modern therapies like sound baths share a common foundation in frequencies that harmonize the body and spirit.Gail also spoke about her groundbreaking creation, the Harmonic Egg—a sacred, non-invasive space combining light, sound, and geometric design to facilitate self-healing. Drawing inspiration from ancient wisdom and modern technology, the Egg embodies her belief in empowering individuals to heal themselves rather than relying solely on external interventions. Her intention-driven approach—combining science, intuition, and a deep respect for individuality—has made the Egg a global phenomenon with centers worldwide.In addition to her technological innovations, Gail advocates for self-awareness and the stories we tell ourselves. She highlights how negative self-perceptions and unexamined narratives can manifest as physical ailments, urging listeners to rewrite these stories with love and intention. “Disease lives in fear and guilt,” she says, “but love is the highest vibration, where healing begins.”
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The Healing Power of Frequencies: Gail demonstrates that sound and light therapy can harmonize the body’s vibrations, creating a conducive environment for self-healing. These modalities, rooted in ancient practices, resonate deeply with the body's natural energies.Intention Shapes Reality: Setting clear, positive intentions can profoundly influence healing outcomes. By aligning with higher vibrations like love and gratitude, one can overcome physical and emotional blockages.Empowerment Through Self-Healing: Gail emphasizes that true healing comes from within. Tools like the Harmonic Egg are facilitators, but the individual’s willingness to engage in their healing journey is paramount.In this insightful conversation, Gail Lynn inspires us to rethink the relationship between health and energy. By blending science with spirituality, she reminds us of the innate power we all possess to heal and transform. Her work is a call to listen to the whispers of our bodies before they become shouts, to embrace the spiritual forces around us, and to find balance through vibration and intention.

In today's episode, we welcome Jennifer Shaffer, a gifted intuitive whose life's journey has taken her from a challenging childhood marked by extraordinary experiences to becoming a world-renowned psychic medium and investigator. Her story is a testament to the incredible ways the human spirit can evolve when faced with the extraordinary and the unexplainable.From a young age, Jennifer Shaffer began sensing and seeing things others couldn't. Raised in a deeply religious Mormon household, she encountered profound spiritual phenomena that left her feeling isolated and misunderstood. Yet, these early struggles planted the seeds for a life path that would later flourish into a career dedicated to helping others navigate the mysteries of existence. Jennifer describes her abilities as something everyone possesses but often overlooks. "Everyone's connected, and if they could remember that, they'd see the magic in their own lives," she shared during our conversation.As Jennifer matured, her intuitive gifts became undeniable. Initially a stockbroker managing vast sums of wealth, her spiritual gifts began to emerge in subtle ways, guiding her decisions and connecting her more deeply to her clients. Eventually, the pull to embrace her abilities fully led her to leave the corporate world and explore the spiritual realms more intentionally. This path took her into crime investigations, where her abilities have assisted law enforcement in solving countless cases, providing closure to grieving families.Jennifer's work is rooted in compassion and integrity, ensuring that her insights are used for healing and empowerment. She often reminds her clients that spiritual guidance is about shining a light on what they already know but may struggle to accept. “No one from the other side has ever told me they regret love, laughter, or joy,” she reflected. Her work is a poignant reminder to live fully and unapologetically, without holding back from life's simple pleasures.During our talk, Jennifer touched on the nature of human challenges, the collective consciousness, and the fascinating connections between quantum physics and spiritual insight. She views our interconnectedness as a bridge to understanding not only ourselves but also the vast mysteries of the universe. For those grappling with fear, Jennifer offers this wisdom from the other side: "Fall deeply in love with yourself. From that place of love, everything else transforms."
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSOneness is Key: Jennifer emphasizes that we are always connected—to each other, to the universe, and to our higher selves. Recognizing this connection can transform how we see and experience life.Challenges as Growth Opportunities: Whether personal or collective, challenges are not roadblocks but opportunities to evolve. Jennifer believes that humanity is moving towards greater awareness and collaboration despite the tumult.Living in the Present: The drama of life often disconnects us from our inner peace. Meditation, laughter, and mindful practices are tools that raise our vibration and anchor us in the now.In closing, Jennifer left us with a heartfelt message: “Stay on your path, wherever it may lead. The journey is the reward, and every step matters.”
Please enjoy my conversation with Jennifer Shaffer.

On today's episode, we welcome Masati, a profound explorer of consciousness and near-death experiences, who has crossed the veil not once but three times. His journey is one of spiritual discovery, immense transformation, and an enduring quest to understand the essence of existence. Through these experiences, Masati has gained unparalleled insights into the multi-layered nature of reality, from time and space to the deeper truths of human identity.From the moment of his first near-death experience, Masati found himself detached from the physical, immersed in a place of boundless possibilities. “It’s like pure white, a realm of potential and creation,” he shared. This awakening ignited his thirst for knowledge about the universe’s architecture and our place within it. Over time, he would learn to rewrite the narratives of his life, a practice he now uses to help others shift their perspectives and transcend their limitations.His second crossing brought him into a deeper understanding of spiritual mechanics. As he drowned in Belize, pulled into an underwater void, Masati experienced an expansiveness unlike anything before. This time, he transcended the tunnel of light and accessed what he calls the "universal database" or the ultimate collective consciousness. “You realize you can rewrite the meaning of what happened to you, and in doing so, transform your present and future,” he explained. This realization, while liberating, also led to years of dark nights of the soul, as he learned to integrate these higher truths into a grounded life.In his third near-death experience, Masati reached what he terms "the mastery level." Hovering at the edge of the universe, he experienced a state of pure awareness beyond identity, judgment, or reference points. “In pure spirit, you don’t have a physical or human identity. You simply are.” This profound state allowed him to reshape not just his understanding of existence but also his physical being. Emerging with a renewed vitality, he now serves as a bridge between the ethereal and the tangible, helping others tap into their limitless potential.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Power of Perspective: Our lives are shaped by the meanings we assign to events. By shifting perspective, we can transform past pain into present empowerment.Time as Fluid: Time and space are not rigid but malleable constructs. Masati's experiences teach us that through higher awareness, we can transcend their limitations.Living Authentically: True abundance and fulfillment come from aligning with our limitless spiritual selves, not through external validation or material possessions.As we navigate the challenges of life, Masati's story reminds us that we are more than our physical selves, our possessions, or our struggles. His life exemplifies the profound power of awakening to our intrinsic potential and embracing the infinite possibilities that lie within.
Please enjoy my conversation with Masati.

The essence of life often hides in the silent spaces between words, in the profound realization of truths we’ve always known but never truly embraced. On today’s episode, we welcome the extraordinary Riana Arendse, a spiritual teacher and conscious channel whose journey from deep personal darkness to radiant inner liberation inspires all who hear it.Imagine the delicate dance of suffering and awakening. Riana Arendse, who describes herself as “once wrapped in a cocoon of trauma,” recounts a life marked by trials so profound that they could have broken the strongest of souls. Instead, these experiences became the alchemical fire through which she was forged. As a child, she held premonitions and communicated with those beyond the veil, but societal expectations and fear dimmed her connection. It wasn’t until she surrendered to the depths of her being that the awakening began.She speaks of the pivotal moment when she saw her life from a higher vantage point. "Why am I trying to be something I already am?" she recalls asking herself. This question unraveled the tightly woven illusions of her identity, and in their place arose an authenticity so luminous it became her guiding light. Her story reveals the paradoxical truth of existence: that surrender is not the relinquishing of power but the discovery of it.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSYour pain is the portal: Riana reminds us that the deepest wounds often open the door to the most profound healing. When we face our shadows, they become gateways to liberation.Healing is an act of remembering: The journey isn’t about fixing a broken self; it’s about peeling back the layers to rediscover the wholeness that was always there.Surrender is mastery: Letting go isn’t defeat; it’s the ultimate act of trust in the divine unfolding of life.In her meditative stillness, Riana encountered beings of light—the majestic seraphim—who guided her to channel frequencies of divine love and wisdom. She describes these entities as the “feminine emanations of God,” creators of worlds who now stand ready to assist humanity during this transformative era. Their message is clear: humanity’s collective awakening is accelerating, and surrendering to this process is no longer optional—it’s essential.For those skeptical of such metaphysical realities, Riana gently suggests that curiosity itself is the seed of awakening. “Why are you trying to be something you already are?” she asks again, inviting us all to pause, to let go of the masks we wear, and to step into the boundless authenticity of our true selves.As we navigate these turbulent times, her wisdom serves as both a lighthouse and a compass. Challenges, she says, are not barriers but doorways. They are life’s way of nudging us toward a state of grace, one surrender at a time.The conversation with Riana Arendse isn’t just an exploration of spiritual truths; it’s a masterclass in living with courage, authenticity, and a deep trust in the unfolding of the cosmos.
Please enjoy my conversation with Riana Arendse.

For more than three decades, Christian Thagard has been immersed in the study of applied metaphysics (including its underpinnings in the strange workings of quantum physics).
Christian’s first book, Earth Game: The Evolution of Consciousness, was written because he felt it was inside him and needed to come out.About the book: Your reality is not what it appears to be. You are more than what you seem to be. You are an intrepid adventurer here in “Earth Game” – within an intricate four-dimensional playing field that is brilliantly designed so that the illusions feel as real as real can be. By design, you came in with amnesia. But you can begin to remember. And you can gain an understanding of where you are, who you are, and why you enthusiastically signed on to this adventure.This is a book about the nature of reality as we experience it here within “Earth Game.” This book is metaphysics in a nutshell (with a shout-out to quantum physics along the way). The focus is applied metaphysics – the technology of metaphysics and how to make it work for you. You will find in this book explanations on topics as varied as love, abundance, the nature of time, the creative power of thoughts, the role of emotions, how causation works, meditation, past lives, Earth Game “versions”, the object of the game, the “next level”, fulfillment, and mastery.
