The Farkas Files on Empower Radio

I have known Marie Dion for years, but never heard the whole story. Her book is the telling of her walkabout as her connection to her native ancestors unfolded. In Journey of a Red Soul, Marie traces her path of discovery, courageously standing in her Native roots, to share lessons learned in multiple previous Native lifetimes. She deftly communicates her insight into the path of healing from racism of all forms, believing we experience diverse lifetimes as the other gender, the other race, and, karmically, any form we consider separate or different from ourselves.

I have heard amazing things about Quantum Touch healing. A close friend of mine is a trained Quantum Touch practitioner. Tonight I will interview the creator and founder of this method Richard Gordon.

A lifelong explorer of shamanic, animist, and meditative consciousness, Meg Beeler traveled the world in search of traditional and shamanic wisdom. She's studied in the high mountains of the Andes and Himalayas, the savannahs of Africa, and the jungles of the Amazon. In each place she has discovered and put into practice the joy, connection and power she shares with you through her work.

Each of us has a vision for our lives, our soul's purpose awaiting release in our hearts. The most important task we have is to learn what that purpose is and then bring it into the world. In our world of endless busyness and “hurry sickness,” many people are experiencing soul loss as they live out dreams of endless motion, empty tasks, anxiety, and negative thoughts. But you can change your world and discover the shamanic heart path that activates your wildness, your power, and your soul's purpose. Blending earth-honoring shamanic practices and modern depth psychology, Jeff Nixa explains how to practice the lost art of heart navigation to help you find your life purpose and spiritual identity, conquer the fear, doubt and criticism that stand in the way of that vision, and become a shamanic shapeshifter of your life.

Kathryn Samuelson is a long time friend of mine and of the show and has been on frequently discussing all sorts of topics. So when I asked for a topic for the show she went right to the most basic of issues. Light vs. Dark. Good vs. Evil. What is Evil?

Guest tonight is the lovely Teri Griffin Williams of Soul Practices. She's a friend of the show and hosts a show of her own on Empower Radio called, Soulful Living.

Laughing Crow is a long time friend and friend of the show, who has been on many times talking about their childhood, their work and shamanism. They have, among other things, founded the American Shamanism Movement. Today they will help us understand something very personal about them. They are Intersex. That is, biologically, both sexes. How does that affect their life and their work? I am honored that they have chosen to share this with us on the show.

Pow Wow Medicine, the Root Medicine and Conjuring of the Pennsylvania Dutch, is a combination of Eastern European folk Christianity and superstition, ceremonial magic, Cabbalistic influence, Judeo-Christian folklore. And depending on what part of the Appalachian Trail you are from it may also include, shamanic practices, Native teachings and Hoodoo practices derived from the beliefs of Africans brought to the U.S. during the time of slavery. The word Pow Wow is early 17th century: from Narragansett powáw ‘magician' (literally ‘he dreams') The proper name is Speilwork or Braucherei. Adepts are called Braucher, Hexenmeisters, or just Hexens. It is Norse/Teutonic Pagan Folk Medicine. This calls upon the Old Germanic God's for healing. This is the Folk Medicine that Pow Wow Medicine is derived from. I am looking forward to talking about traditions I have not heard about before and how they are similar and related to other traditions I have learned from.

The American Shamanism Movement was formed recognizing that the need for a form of practice which put people directly in contact with the spiritual world that was specific to the needs of people in Pittsburgh, PA, and for Americans in a larger context. The movement offers four years of training in shamanic work, three of which are in its unique tradition. The new textbook is the information for the first year of training called “An Introduction to Shamanic Practice,” which is designed to be everything a person not wanting to be a community practitioner needs to know to have a more shamanic, animistic, or spiritual life for them and their families. It provides an overview of traditions and practices from around the world with the intent of helping a person who wants to take the practices more seriously in finding the tradition that suits them best.

My guest is a friend and fellow shaman Linda Star Wolf. She's the founder of Venus Rising Institute for Shamanic Healing Arts. We're going to talk about her journey and her new book Soul Whispering: The Art of Awakening Shamanic Consciousness.

Belinda J. Womack is a spiritual counselor, teacher, and author of 'Lessons from the 12 Archangels: Divine Intervention in Daily Life.' A scientist by training, with dual master's degrees in microbiology and environmental science (Indiana University), Belinda was called into service by the 12 Archangels while working in a medical university lab as she was doing a stem cell experiment. For nearly 25 years since that meeting, Belinda has had an active spiritual counseling practice, working with the 12 Archangels, to support individuals, couples and families with seemingly impossible problems to solve. I love hearing the adventure of people in science getting called into spiritual work. And, I, too have a connection to the Archangels... who insist that I call them 'The Boys.'

Daniel Foor, PhD is my guest tonight and has just written a new book, Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing. It's a fascinating look at ancestral healing and beliefs.

What if there really was a starting point in human civilization from which language, symbols, beliefs and creation stories began and spread around the ancient world? Laird Scranton has tracked that down! There is a 'Point of Origin' from which all that spread to ancient Africa, Egypt, China and other parts of the world! Laird Scranton is the author of a series of books and other writings on ancient cosmology and language. He is featured in John Anthony West's Magical Egypt documentary series and in Carmen Boulter's documentary The Pyramid Code.

Being a psychic has its challenges in normal life, and all those become even more interesting when you are traveling. What's a psychic to do in a haunted Scottish Castle? Well, that was a piece of cake compared to the horror of the cruise ship! Lot's of people that you mostly can't escape from, and the more I relaxed and got into "vacation mode" the more my guard dropped. It lead to some interesting adventures at sea! Join us to hear the adventures of Lisa in the world of vacationing. Lisa teaches psychic protection. Her insight should be fascinating.

That's our friend Corbie who used to have a show on Empower Radio just before mine doing live psychic readings. So, what is she up to now? And what's next? She's now a full-time intuitive counselor and inspirational speaker. Her career has encompassed positions as a published author, a professional actress, a television producer, a radio personality, an executive recruiter and the “power behind the throne” for a number of high-profile CEOs. We will hear about her book, soon to be released as an audio book, too!

Shamanic teachers always have fascinating stories. That especially holds true for my guest Shaman Itzhak Beery. His life story is amazing and I can't wait for you to hear it!

My guest tonight is drawing from the spiritual philosophies and meditative practices of classical yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Jason Gregory is doing fantasinating work with philosiphies, sciences, religions, you name it and he's showing us how to enlighten our minds.

My dear friend Maureen McElroy will be with us again. This time talking about the remote healing work that she does. She is one of my go-to people to keep myself 'cleaned up'. Her work is amazing.

Orbs are bright translucent circular objects that show up on photographs. There is a lot of controversy about what or who they are. We will talk to someone who has been trying to sort that out and just wrote a book about them. Susan Collins, is an internationally acclaimed dowsing teacher, Keynote Speaker, and workshop leader and author. She uses traditional dowsing tools as well as the power of heart and thought to detect and transform non-beneficial Earth, Environmental, Psychic and Other energy patterns. I have met her many times and she has been on the show before. We always learn a lot and have great fun!
