The Luminous

This short and sweet episode is another departure from my usual form. It was inspired by a channeled message I shared with my newsletter this morning. Who you are is not what you are. Understanding the difference is powerful and meaningful.

In this episode of Client Calls on the Luminous I chat with Karen S. She has a history of being in an abusive relationship, and now her adult daughter is in the same situation. Karen loves and supports her daughter, but also knows she can't save her. Karen wants to know what can she do to support her daughter but also make sure she's not getting sucked back into the cycle? What can she do to help her daughter see the light? How can we still love and support those we care about, even when they're unable or unwilling to accept the help we're offering.

In this installment of Client Calls, John finds himself feeling cut off from Spirit. He knows this is just a story that comes from his small self, and yet he's struggling to find his center again. How can he come back to the place where he's feeling connected and present and is no longer grappling with the nagging question: "Has Spirit cut me off?" #spirituality #healing #podcast

This episode is a new direction for The Luminous. This is the first installment of Client Calls. In this series I'm giving you a glimpse into my approach when working with clients. These episodes are live client calls that recorded in real time. In these episodes I offer insight, feedback, tools, and tips to real people with real questions.As always, my hope is that you find something here that illuminates, assists or inspires you to begin creating the life you dream of.In today's call I am speaking with Karen and her question is about whether or not she's procrastinating or is it just a matter of divine timing?

There's a collective grief that's present for so many of us right now. What many find surprising is that they're not even aware that's what it is. People are feeling stuck and they're not sure why. People are unable to move forward. The old signposts and guardrails are crumbling. We're seeing that what we believed was for our benefit may not have been. Institutions that were supposed to be our support system either never were or no longer are. What you want might not be what you want anymore. What you need might feel a million miles away. You might not even know what it is that you want. To me all of these states signify grief of a sort. How do we understand this grief? What can we do about it? How do we make sense of it? What I know is that on the other side of this is great freedom. This is what we're discussing in this episdoe of The Luminous.

I sit down with my friend Rio and we talk about not only why your dream life is possible, but how to begin actively creating it. This is an extension of the information I shared in episode 10 where I spoke about normalizing miracles. In the final episode of season one, we talk about how one of the most important keys in creating the life you dream of is to first believe that it is possble. The belief barrier that we often create around our desires is part of what keeps them locked just out of arm's reach. In this episode Rio and I share what we have learned over the course of our own lives and our practices of working with other people. This episode is packed with wisdom and insight and we cover a lot of ground.

To proceed through life with the idea that getting what we want and living a life of fulfillment is somehow next to impossible and requires a miracle being handed to us from on high keeps the very thing we desire at an arms length. If I can't accept that I am the creator of my experience and am a direct extension of Source/Spirit/God itself then I will continue to perpetuate not having it. So how do we remove the belief barrier of the miraculous somehow being out of our hands? This is the magic question I am inspired to open up today.

Today my guest is Jonathan Kray. Jonathan is one of the Creators, Writers, Directors, & Editor on the documentary, Rude Awakening. I first met Jonathan back around 2017 when he approached me about being a part of the film. If you haven't yet watched the documentary, you can find it streaming for free on their site, Rudeawakening-film.com Our conversation was really exciting and invigorating. We both remarked on how it felt like we were creating some powerful magic in this episode. As with most conversations on The Luminous, we covered a lot of ground. In today's episode we're talking about Claims vs. Control, Curiosity and willingness, Nihilism and surrender. I think you're really going to get a lot out of this one….I know I did.

In this episode of The Luminous we're talking about life after spirituality. My guest is Sandra Roggerman. Sandra and I met when working on the Rude Awakening Documentary. For 15 years, Sandra had a spiritual healing and coaching business. She closed it in 2017 to transition into her work as Producer on the documentary. In this episode we talk about the importance of allowing ourselves to grow in and out of identities. We talk about life after spiritual awakening. The power of the stories we tell, and why it's crucial that we are willing to ask ourselves the question that SO many seem to be terrifed of: "What do I REALLY want?" All of this and more on this episode of The Luminous

In this episode I share my perspective on how to create lasting change in your life. Change is a guaranteed part of the human experience. So why do we work so hard to avoid and outrun it? Personally, I've been going through a lot of changes in my own life. So, naturally, I felt inspired to record an episode all about change.

My guest today is Naha. She is the head of faculty at 22 Teachings School of Hermetic Science and Magical Arts. 22 Teachings is her school in Los Angeles, where she teaches and practices her work. I have known Naha since our days in Seattle in the early 90s. Even then she was an inspiration to me. She is one who always walks her talk and her integrity is a cut above. In today's conversation we cover a range of topics from her punk rock attitude and her rebellious early years to her current role at the magic school. This is a fascinating and inspiring conversation and I hope you enjoy it. Today's episode of The Luminous is another installment in The Awakeners Series. From Rebellion to Ritual. Letting go, showing up and the power of loss with Naha.

This episode of The Luminous is the first in a new series called The Awakeners. My guest today is Rio. He's a light worker and healer who ultimately considers himself to be an artist. His awakening journey took him from the fashion world to the world of fitness. Now his work around helping people reclaim their sexual energy through LiftedSex has brought him into a space where he explores sex and sexual energy in a way that is totally unique to him. In this episode of the Luminous, we're exploring Sexual Healing and the Thread of Awakening with Rio.

In this day and age where we are increasingly isolated from one another and our interactions are becoming more and more digital; it's easy to lose track of what it is to be a part of the natural world. Humanity has long labored under this myth that we are a superior species. This has also led to us being increasingly cut off from the natural rhythms and cycles of nature. In our isolation we have begun to believe some things that I don't think are necessarily true. The two I want to talk about today are the myths of equality and the idea that sameness equals safety. That's what we're talking about today on the luminous

What do we do when the life we have built is no longer the life we want? What do we do when the joy is completely gone from out of our day to day routine (especially when it comes to our professional life), and we find ourselves longing for a new way?
 There are a lot of answers to these questions, and the one we're going to focus on today, is the power that is present when you lean into your ignorance.

In what way are you the source of what you seek? How do we manifest what we desire?We live in a creative, coherent, reality and whatever we are sticky to, is what we will call forth. So, in what way are you deciding to BE the source of what you seek?
