This week we interview Bato, an advanced soul who talks to us about the many dimensions of the Self and some of the tools and techniques he uses to connect more deeply within. In this episode we discuss: * Bato's unique, organic path inward, starting from exploring the power of the mind and then leading to more mystical experiences.
 * How following your intuition allows untapped wisdom to flow through.
 * The power of pyramid shapes.
 * Working with crystal grids.
 * What is nanocoding?
 * Opening up pathways to other aspects of Self.
 * What does Bato believe to be the biggest obstacle to human conscious evolution?
 * Which part of us can we utilize for the fastest spiritual evolution?
 * Why does Bato prefer Kriya yoga over other types of yoga?

 * The balance needed between helping others and staying focused on the knowing of Self.
 * The value of bringing our awareness and focus within.


The true love relationship we're all seeking starts from within. We each have an inner masculine and feminine, yet often they are at war with each other. We are meant to grow these two aspects of Self into their divine potential and unite them into Sacred Union.  (How perfect is it that this episode is being released on Valentine's Day?) So how do we harmonize our masculine and feminine? In this episode we discuss: The masculine and feminine polarities are not the same as male and female genders. We all have both polarities within as left brain/right brain, logos/eros, mind/heart, etc. On the path of self actualization, we want to develop both polarities to feel complete and whole. What are some of the masculine and feminine qualities? What's the first step to balancing these polarities? The Battle of the Sexes Within: When our mind and heart fight for dominance, we always lose. What's the easiest way to discover your own yin/yang imbalances? The common way we swing back and forth in polarity during our lives, rather than harmonizing the two. The pattern of retreating from our emotions into the questionable “safety” of our minds. The power of learning to nurture your inner child. Utilizing one astrological perspective of our Mars representing our masculine and our Venus representing our feminine. The shadow aspects of the masculine and the feminine. When we become harmonized within ourselves, our relationships no longer come from codependency. David Deida's book “Intimate Communion” In “The Dance of the Selves” by Loretta Ferrier, she says the feminine is the Visionary and the masculine carries out the plan. How to apply your masculine and feminine to support each other.

You've probably never heard of Agnihotra. Neither had we until we met with Gau Bodepudi. In this interview with Gau, we learned about the ancient practice of Agnihotra, a precise meditation technique originating from the Vedas that involves the element of fire, “the messenger of the gods.” This practice has has been shown to benefit not only the individual, but also the environment. In this episode we discuss: What exactly is Agnihotra and how does it differ from other meditation techniques? What is the importance of the five components of Agnihotra, especially, why the cow dung? How did Gau come across this ancient yet little known practice? The power of mantras to reduce ego attachment. Can anyone, regardless of their beliefs, practice this technique? Evidence from Yugoslavia that Agnihotra mitigates pollution, even nuclear radiation. Why you should only use a mantra given to you from a self realized master. How and when did Agnihotra get rediscovered? The science of Agnihotra's effects on plant life and the environment. Gautham Bodepudi is the Founder and CEO of Awaken Inner Fire, a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting humanity and healing the environment.

Self love starts with self connection. If we aren't tuning within and listening to our own inner voice, how can we truly know how we feel and what we need? Self love develops from taking care of ourselves authentically. This week's guest, Jamie Lerner, helps people find that self connection. She teaches how to “guide yourself from the inside out.” Some of the things discussed in this episode: The necessity of living in alignment with your authentic self. There's never a perfect time to make a change. Stepping into your personal power by coming home to yourself. How the inability to connect with ourselves keeps us from being able to connect with others. The most important voice we need to hear is our own. What are some techniques for being able to tune into ourselves? The value of humor and laughter on our growth/healing journey. How judging others indicates that we're not connected to ourselves. The teachings of Abraham-HIcks, who were Jamie's mentors. We have no control over anything except what we're choosing to think & how we're choosing to feel. Just making a practice of listening to yourself, even if you don't always act on it, is empowering. Parenting through teaching authentic communication. The practice and process of Allowing. Jamie Lerner is co-author of the book, “The Ever-Loving Essence of You”. She received an MSW from Loyola University, and developed a wonderful thriving private psychotherapy practice. Her practice evolved into an integrative approach to wellbeing, assisting people from where they are into where they want to be by gently making a shift. Jamie can put a fresh spin on just about anything anyone throws her way. Her unique & masterful ability to reframe even the most difficult situations in astounding. Jamie Lerner can most often be seen working with individuals, children, adults & couples, as well as with small groups. For more on Jamie and her services, visit www.jamie-lerner.com.

At this time on the planet, particularly in Western culture, we seem to have lost connection to our roots - both to the literal roots of trees, plants and Mother Earth, as well as to the roots of our human ancestry.

 * The body as a portal to the soul and the problem of disembodied spiritual work.

You may be wondering, what is family constellation? As our guest, Family Constellation practitioner Stephanie Richmond aptly states, “There is no elevator speech for it. It is a therapeutic approach that looks at an individual through the context of being part of a whole family system.” It's a powerful energetic, spiritual healing modality that heals not only at the individual level, but also for the Collective, because after all, we are all connected. Highlights from this episode: Stephanie's description of family constellation: “the unkinking the hose of pure love and letting it flow down to the newest generations.” The logistics: what exactly happens in a family constellation workshop? What is a blind constellation? What kinds of issues can be addressed with this therapy? The amazing way that the people who show up to serve begin to express the energy of the role they're chosen for, without even knowing what that role is. How family constellation can heal inherited trauma. What did they learn when they did a constellation for humanity and the pandemic? What are the Orders of Love? The story of how Bert Hellinger, a German psychologist, came up with the basis for this system. Why family constellation is one of the most effective way to heal deep wounds, even wounds we don't recognize. Going beyond the illusion of “I'm not worthy.” “I'm not lovable.” “I don't belong.” Hellinger's quote, “The one who needs the most love is the perpetrator.” How this work honors our ancestors and can bring peace to them and through them. Stephanie Richmond is certified in Systemic Family Constellations, Emotion Code, Biomagnetic Therapy, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, and Art Therapy. She also teaches A Course in Miracles.

Loss can be a powerful catalyst for spiritual transformation. In this episode we speak with Barron Steffen, author of “The Final Gift of the Beloved,“ an account of the 13 days after the death of his beloved wife Seana. We loved talking to Barron, who's sincere, deep and insightful.

What's the first book Barron would recommend to people who just experienced a loss of a loved one?

He has been a big wave surfer, a 1980s Italian pop singer, and an award-winning elementary school teacher.

Ayahuasca, Kambo and DMT - join us in this discussion of our recent exploration into these consciousness medicines. After a few wonderful Season 3 guests shared about these sacred substances, both of us, Tim and Tianna, felt inspired to explore these spirit medicines. We did Kambo together with Tim's wife and Tianna did a trilogy over a few weeks: Ayahuasca, then Kambo, finishing with DMT. Tune in to hear what happened! In this episode we discuss: * The pros and cons of doing a one-on-one plant medicine ceremony vs. experiencing it in a group.
 * How some sensitive souls need to be aware of the possibility of being a portal for collective healing rather than just your own personal healing.
 * The interconnectedness of our experiences during the Kambo ceremony.
 * Why was the color green so powerful in Tim's experience?
 * The breakthrough Tim received through communicating with the trees. 
 * How did he integrate it? Was the shift lasting?
 * How MDMA had been a catalyst for Tianna's initial spiritual awakening years ago, a trigger of remembrance of Oneness, yet she was guided to find those same states naturally through meditation.
 * The difference of the masculine (yang) spiritual path vs. the feminine (yin) spiritual path, and the role the body plays in Tianna's spiritual journey.
 * What message did Divine Mother give her?
 * Exploring the idea of whether it's needed or appropriate for ancient spiritual traditions to evolve in the new energies of this Aquarian time.
 * Why it's crucial to do your due diligence and find facilitators who create a strong container for holding safe space for participants.
 * Tianna's initial failed initiation, facing darkness and evil.
 * The haunting hypnotic power of the icaro medicine songs.
 * Why Tianna felt called to do a DMT ceremony a couple weeks later after an emotional energetic residue stayed with her in the days after Ayahuasca, “the stain on her soul.”
 * What are some of these other sacred medicines, Yopo, Sananga?
 * DMT and the beautiful completion of Tianna's journey: being Divine Mother, transformation through compassion for the darkness.
 * The power of compassion, which is the bridge from darkness to light. This is the path back to Unity.
 * Why it's important to be willing to face whatever the sacred medicines show you.

Welcome to the last episode of Season 4! What is an extraordinary experience? In their book, “Convergence: The Interconnection of Extraordinary Experiences,” our guests Barbara Mango, Phd. and Lynn Miller explain: “Extraordinary Experiences are those which occur beyond our five senses, time, and space. Such occurrences include Near-death Experiences, Out-of-Body Experiences, Past-life Memories, Paranormal Encounters, Contact with Non-Human Intelligences, Telepathy, Pre-cognition, etc. Regardless of the type of extraordinary experience, all are utterly transformational. It is only when we open our minds and hearts to embrace experiences which lay beyond our three-dimensional world, that we may begin to explore the very nature of consciousness.” In this episode, we discuss: How Barbara & Lynn met by working together in astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell's research group. The understanding that consciousness is non-local, which is the basis for all these different types of extraordinary experiences. Why it was important for them to include the science behind these experiences and provide a balanced approach for experiencer and skeptic. Which personality types are more prone to having extraordinary experiences? What are some of the challenges and benefits of how these experiences change a person? Barbara's first experience with a non-physical being at 2 years old. How, as a child, Barbara's spontaneous remembrance of a past life immediately healed her in this life. Lynn shares about her spontaneous out-of-body experiences and how she learned controlled OBEs. Some techniques for OBE. How the materialist assumption in science has limited the research on consciousness. Telepathy and quantum entanglement. The strong evidence for non-local consciousness based on Near Death experiences of the congenitally blind. Barbara and Lynn's debut book, “Convergence: The Interconnection of Extraordinary Experiences” is now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites. The authors take readers on extraordinary, life-altering voyages beyond time and space. One that is consistently described by experiencers as “realer than real,” powerfully loving, and forever life-altering. Near-death, out-of-body experiences, contact with non-human intelligent beings, and past-life recall are examples of such journeys. Barbara and Lynn explore each modality from their personal encounters, backed by cutting-edge science. Learn more by visiting their website https://www.extraordinaryexperiences.org/.

We're back for Season 5 with our favorite astrologers, Shannon Gill and Russ von Ohlhausen. But this time, we're discussing Twin Flames! This is a very personal topic for Tianna, and the twin flame journey is how she and Shannon initially bonded. What exactly is a twin flame? Why have we been hearing more about this particular type of soul connection? Listen in to find out! In this episode we cover: Can you have more than one twin flame? What are some indicators that you're a twin flame? What's Shannon and Russell's TF story? Why are there typically taboos or seemingly impossible barriers in a TF connection? How the kundalini activates through the shared chakra system of twin flames. The Archangels' message Tianna channeled for Shannon and Russ early on their TF journey & how we all helped each other as divine mirrors. The understanding that twin flames are a collective of souls who have incarnated on the planet at this time to do this deep healing as part of Earth's ascension. One necessary and unavoidable stage on the TF path is the descent into the shadow realm. What's the key for moving out of the shadow stage? How does Quantum Physics explain this phenomenon? What stage are most twin flames stuck in? How does astrology fit into this current emergence of twin flames? If you're on a TF journey, it will emerge in divine timing. Don't try to manifest a twin flame. The Dark Night of the Soul is no joke - ouch! There's not one equation for the alchemical TF Unification process; there are different paths. The Twin Flame Healers is one example of a good resource/support for twin flames. What is the runner/chaser dynamic? How do we move out of it?

Remember as a child, how you'd pretend to live in a fantasy world where you could cast magical spells and use special powers? One day you grew up and accepted that you live in the “real world” where magic doesn't exist. This week's guest, David Solomon, wants you to know that magic is real.

 * Imagine the world we could create with collective magic for the highest good!

 * What are the ties between magic and Atlantis?
 * Will a focus on attaining special abilities hold someone back on their spiritual path?
 * If it's possible to have the magical ability to control the weather, how much of that is being controlled by others behind the scenes?

Trust and Surrender. These concepts return again and again on the spiritual journey, opening us more deeply to the Divine. This week's guest, singer Haley Harkin, learned the power of Trust and Surrender through many plant medicine ceremonies, which enabled her to embody her authentic self as a musician.

 * How did the Universe push her to become a musician?
 * The key role that plant medicine played in purging her fear of performing.
 * Is the music for plant medicine ceremonies a set playlist or is it an organic flow, depending on the energies in the moment?
 * Does taking the plant medicine during the ceremony enhance her music or make it difficult to play?
 * How long did it take Haley to be able to trust and let go when playing in ceremony?
 * Why she only shares her music in sacred/mindful settings.
 * The way plant medicine teaches on a cellular level, and is retained in your everyday life.
 * The power of vulnerability and the healing that comes through connecting on that level.
 * Is Haley transmitting a vibration when she sings?
 * Has her sound changed as she has evolved spiritually?
 * Haley is passionate about teaching people how to break down limiting constructs around creativity..

Are we living in a time when we're ready to face the most painful of our Earthly experiences and receive it as medicine? This week's guest, Sarah Salter Kelly, has done exactly that. In her book, “Trauma As Medicine,” Sarah explains how she alchemized the tragic homicide of her mother into healing and growth, and offers practices to assist you in your own healing journey from the darkness into the light. Highlights from our conversation: Sarah shares the shocking and traumatic story of her mother's homicide. How trauma is like the Tower card of the Tarot, catalyzing a complete dissolution of everything one believes in. Half of the difficulty of her trauma was a sense of powerlessness. Is there purpose and meaning in everything that occurs, even trauma? How do we move into the Underworld of our most difficult experiences from a place where we're not spiritually bypassing? How do we face what we're most afraid of? The unexpected outcome of Sarah's self-created ceremony to address her mother's perpetrator. The importance of not measuring or comparing our trauma. The need in our society to see trauma from a new perspective and to utilize it as an initiation into deeper levels of growth. Processing our painful experiences takes time before we can witness it and not take it so personally. “If we want to live as conscious and powerful beings, we have to be willing to to direct our energy toward what is oppressing us. Then the fear transforms.” The importance of both facing the fears and tending to the needs of the victim within. The power of handing it over to the Divine. Sarah's prayer: “I don't know what to do. Please help me.” Sarah Salter Kelly is a talented writer, healer and speaker utilizing the raw compounded teachings of her life experience, to uplift, empower and guide others. Her wisdom is authentic, embodied and hard won – generated  through years of integrating the tragic homicide of her mother and learning  to forgive the perpetrator – alongside  thirty years of studying personal growth, mysticism, restorative justice, and earth-based healing traditions. Over the past fourteen years she has run her own private healing practice, facilitated retreats, taught trauma focused and shamanic healing workshops, and presented at conferences and events.

Buckle up - there's so much happening in the Cosmos this year! So we've brought back our favorite astrologers, Shannon Gill and Russ Von Ohlhausen to help prepare us for the energies of 2022. As usual, they don't disappoint! As you hear about all of the intensity this year, remember that you are an empowered divine spiritual being who chose to incarnate in this life to be a part of this momentous time on planet Earth. Here's what we discuss: * The theme for 2022: “There's a storm coming. Get prepared.”
 * We need to accept that The Shift naturally involves a process of death and rebirth in order for us to evolve.
 * We're moving out of the Pisces Age of Illusion (listen to Shannon's in-depth explanation of the Astrological Ages here). There's acceleration this year of “The Blinders Coming Off.”
 * In 2022, the Best and the Worst will be happening at the same time. Changes need to happen. It's up to us where we focus.
 * Advice for this year: “Simplify, conserve and consolidate.” Less is more.
 * We need to stop thinking this is going to go away anytime soon. Instead learn to ride the waves as things accelerate.
 * Illusion will be thick this year, requiring us to master our discernment.
 * The nodal shift into Taurus/Scorpio creates a new backdrop for this year.
 * We can manage the Scorpio South Node themes of destabilization/chaos and revealing more of the shadow by engaging in Taurus North Node energies of being in our body, creativity, art, music, dance, simplifying.
 * Possible food supply chain issues, loss of resources.
 * Window of opportunity when all planets are direct: February 3 - April 29
 * February US Pluto Return: We're going to go through a massive Revolutionary energy.
 * Mars is hitting the outer planets during Spring and Summer bringing fiery energy, eruptions.
 * Why does Shannon consider the Jupiter Neptune conjunction to perhaps be the most significant aspect of the whole year?
 * Beware the shadow aspect of Pisces and Neptune: escapism, addiction, spiritual bypassing, overdose.
 * Possibly more natural disasters, particularly with the water element.
 * Stay focused in the many positive ways you can experience simple joys. Utilize these opportunities to awaken and level up this year.

Many people are seeking alternative approaches to pharmaceuticals, which often just suppress or treat symptoms while also causing many side effects. Did you know there's a natural medical system that recognizes and removes the underlying cause and has existed for over 200 years? It's Homeopathy.

Some of the topics we cover: * What exactly is Homeopathy and how does it differ from Allopathic Medicine?

 * The western medicine approach suppresses symptoms, and therefore often doesn't address the origin of the issue. Homeopathy looks at the symptom pattern, addressing the root cause to bring about the body's natural immune response.
 * How this suppression of symptoms, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally, could be at the core of much of our societal dysfunction. Are we not learning how to face issues and work through them?
 * “Individualized medicine” - a huge benefit provided by this modality.
 * Homeopathy's holistic approach takes into account the physical, mental, emotional and even the Unconscious (through dreams) to provide a remedy.
 * Why is Homeopathy considered energy medicine?
 * Lizzie's clients are often people with very complex cases that haven't been answered through Allopathic medicine.
 * A large part of Lizzie's practice is actually undoing damage due to pharmaceuticals.
 * What's a nosode and how is it used both to treat and prevent illness?
 * What is the Law of Similars?
 * How Homeopathy's function of “immunological education” helps to prevent health issues.

 * Book recommendation: “The Solution: Homeoprophylaxis” by Kate Birch and Cilla Whatcott.
 * Lizzie shares her own pilgrimage story, first in her neighborhood and then to Mexico, prompted by her dreams
 * Homeopathic treatments don't really go bad (with basic care of them) and you can create a home health kit to naturally treat the most common ailments.

Have you heard of Light Language? It's a multi-dimensional form of frequency communication. Some people refer to it as “soul language.” The first time you hear it, it might sound strange or like gibberish. If you are sensitive, perhaps you can feel the high vibrational energy being transmitted. This week's guest, Cynthia Brannum, describes it as “bypassing the conscious mind and tapping into the Superconscious, so that those areas are activated in a little more direct way than is usually possible.” Towards the end of this episode, Cynthia channels Light Language specifically for you, our listeners! Highlights: Which types of beings typically come through a Light Language session with Cynthia? Who is Sophia? When was the first time Cynthia connected to her?

Many people equate darkness with evil and shun it. Yet in our world of duality, this is impossible. You can't have day without night or yang without yin. To become whole and return to Oneness, you need to integrate both light and shadow. Are you ready to embrace the dark feminine within? This week's guest, Tandy Gutierrez, shares how to work with the dark goddess and receive her gifts of transformation, magic, sexuality, death and rebirth. Highlights: Fall and Winter, the underworld seasons, are a perfect time to explore the Dark Feminine. Dark Feminine energy relates to the dark, the underworld, the moon or the night. Everyone, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, can benefit from this work. Dark goddesses such as Hecate and Lilith pull us into our full authenticity, reclaiming the parts of us labeled “too much” or “too bold”. What led Tandy onto this path? The Dark Feminine teaches us to become empowered, use our voice, take up space. What are some ways that repressed shadow feminine energy shows up in our lives? The power of saying, “That doesn't work for me.” Tandy's book recommendation: “For the Love of Men: From Toxic to a More Mindful Masculinity” by Liz Plank What's the mythology of Lilith? Let's reclaim shamelessness! Who is Hecate? How does Magical Mentoring work? Tandy Gutierrez is the founder & creator of Unicorn Wellness Studio and Magical Mentoring.
