In this episode, I'm joined by the extraordinary mother–daughter team Norma and Nisha Burton, co-authors of Navigating Liminal Realms: Psycho-navigation Skills for Lucid Dreaming, Trance Journeys and Altered States. Their work blends ancient psychonaut wisdom with modern neuroscience to revive a long-forgotten skill: how to consciously enter, explore, and return from the dreamscape, trance worlds, and psychedelic visions with clarity and intention.Together, we explore the unique ways Norma and Nisha use their complementary approaches to help others navigate the inner wilderness — cultivating practices that deepen self-awareness, expand perception, and reconnect us with the vast terrain of our own consciousness and beyond.This is a rich, fascinating conversation for anyone drawn to lucid dreaming, shamanic journeying, psychedelics, or the mysteries of the mind.Visit Norma + Nisha's websiteVisit Nisha's websiteVisit Norma's website________BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course For more information about Wendy's new visionary fiction book, Raven's Daughter, or to purchase a copy, visit Three Worlds PressVisit Wendy's website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg®  Lucid Cafe episodes by topic  Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube  ★ Support this podcast ★

What is consciousness, really - and why have centuries of science and philosophy still not resolved it? In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, Dr Tevin Naidu is joined by Dr Elly Vintiadis, philosopher at the intersection of mind, cognitive science, psychiatry, and metaphysics. Together, we explore the foundations, limits, and future of theories of consciousness - and why our scientific worldview may need a major conceptual upgrade.This episode is part of a special series in collaboration with the Mind-at-Large Project: a three-year international initiative, spanning conferences, films, and media, investigating consciousness and its role in reality. It seeks to challenge the prevailing materialist paradigm and expand our understanding of mind across scales, from neurons to ecosystems, from individuals to the cosmos itself. A collaboration between philosophers, scientists, and scholars rethinking the nature of consciousness, reality, and beyond.

According to our unscientific office poll, the annual changing of the clocks has all the popularity of a root canal. With few exceptions, people described the shift to and from Daylight Saving Time as disorienting, arbitrary, and unwelcome.On a more existential level, winding the clocks back and forth reminds us that no matter how concrete minutes and hours may feel, the way we perceive time is fluid. Time flies when you're having fun. A watched pot never boils. So to celebrate (or perhaps protest) another year setting back the clocks, the Outside/In team has uncovered four mini-stories that will poke at, stretch, or even obliterate your perception of time.

Are mystical experiences from drugs the same as Spirit-led visions? In this episode of the Seers See Podcast, Doug and Emily tackle the sensitive and timely topic of drugs, spiritual perception, and the Kingdom of God. Together we explore:Personal stories of spiritual curiosity, sobriety and naïveté about drugs.The modern drug landscape: marijuana legalization, ayahuasca retreats, “toking the Holy Ghost,” neo-pagan revivals, and why today's culture is drawn to altered states.Ancient Near Eastern practicesEvidence of mind-altering drug use in The Hebrew Bible?New Testament clarityTheological Reflection: Substances = manipulation, counterfeit, deception.  Spirit = God's initiative, trustworthy, transformative.Hope for today: If you've experimented with drugs for spiritual reasons, there's freedom in Christ.Authentic intimacy with God replaces counterfeit highs.Key takeaway: The Bible acknowledges that substances can alter perception — but warns against them as counterfeit pathways. True revelation and mystical vision come only from the Spirit of God.

It teaches us that mastering balance requires understanding imbalance first. You can't appreciate harmony without experiencing the chaos. And after what we've just moved through? We're ready to embrace that equilibrium with open arms. ⚖️ This season is asking you to look at your relationships - not just romantic ones, but all the partnerships in your life. Which ones are serving your highest good? Which ones need a loving adjustment of expectations? Libra reminds us that not all relationships are created equal, and that's okay. Some people are here to be mirrors, reflecting our strengths and shadows. Others are here for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. And the most important relationship.. the one we have with ourselves, our Soul.  It is the unseen realms that shape our lives. Have you been caught in a pattern of uncertaintly?  Not sure how to trust your inner guidance?  I have another complimentary online class coming up… Stop Absorbing Everyone's Drama: The Sensitive Person's Energy Protection Plan Sat 10/04 at 10AM CT. In this class, we will look at the energy of an empath and how that can get in the way of trusting your inner guidance, and a plan that will help you stop taking in excess energy so that you can know your energy. Or if you would prefer, schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough Call with me and let's talk about the #1 thing getting in your way of trusting your inner guidance.  In today's episode, we are joined by the incredible mother-daughter duo, Norma J. Burton and Nisha Burton, to discuss their new book, Navigating Liminal Realms: Psychonavigation Skills for Lucid Dreaming, Trance Journeys, and Altered States. They guide us through the inner landscapes of the dream time, the power of trance journeys, and the skills needed to safely explore altered states of consciousness. About Our Guests •Norma J. Burton: A psychologist, mystic, and researcher with over 30 years of experience studying the psychology of religious experiences in indigenous cultures worldwide. She specializes in using drums to induce trance states for inner exploration. •Nisha Burton: Raised in a lineage of dream workers, Nisha is an expert lucid dreamer and a filmmaker specializing in immersive technologies. She combines ancient wisdom with modern techniques to teach others how to navigate the dream time. Key Takeaways Psychonavigation is an Essential Skill: Before diving into expansive states like those induced by psychedelics, it is vital to develop the skills to navigate your inner world. Practices like dream work and trance journeys build this foundation. Your Psyche Has a Unique Language: Pay attention to your personal dream signs and symbols. Your psyche communicates with you in a specific language that you can learn to understand through consistent engagement and journaling. Integration is Non-Negotiable: Profound experiences require a structured integration process, preferably within a supportive, dream-honoring community. Without it, you risk fragmentation and miss the opportunity for true healing and growth. Sound is a Gateway: Rhythmic sound, particularly from drumming, is a powerful, scientifically-backed tool for shifting consciousness and entering liminal states where you can receive guidance and insight. Lucid Dreaming Unlocks Agency: By learning to become lucid in your dreams, you can move from being a passive observer to an active participant, allowing you to confront fears, solve problems, and explore the vast potential of your consciousness.

Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Our continued search for Charlie led the team to Mexico and we ran into a native tribe that offered us a delightful tea to quench our thirst. As we took our first big swig of tea, we hear a giggle coming from behind us. We turn to see one of our best podcasting buddies in the world Erin from Manic Movie Monday.  Anna asked what the giggling was about, and Erin just smiled an all-knowing smile and said, "ummmm...just give it a minute or two. heehee" "Minute or two," Pete asks, "What do you mean by....wooooah..."  After a few days, Erin was finally able to track down Anna and Pete. Anna had found her way into a museum and was molesting a copy of Michelangelo's David while Pete was verbally accosting a dodgy looking cloud that turned out to be a cotton candy machine. Shockingly, he still had his pants on.  Anywho, Erin cat-wrangles Anna and Pete and suggests watching Altered States to understand what might have happened during the lost time.  While we all thought the movie was a hoot, we were getting frustrated in the fact that Charlie was still missing.  Remember that old chestnut?

In this episode I talk with the remarkable mother-and-daughter team, Norma and Nisha Burton, co-authors of 'Navigating Liminal Realms: Psychonavigation Skills for Lucid Dreaming, Trance Journeys, and Altered States'. Together they bring a rare fusion of deep psychology, shamanic practice, and creative vision, guiding seekers safely into altered states of consciousness. Their work centers on the practice of psychonavigation—the art of exploring the liminal realms of the psyche with clarity, intention, and tools that prevent overwhelm while unlocking profound insight.Drawing from Norma's decades as a Jungian-trained therapist and shamanic practitioner, we explore how drumming-induced trance states align with brainwave frequencies and connect to indigenous wisdom from cultures like the Sami and Huichol. Nisha brings her perspective as a filmmaker, technologist, and lucid dreaming expert, sharing advanced techniques that go beyond basic induction—methods for sustaining lucidity, integrating shadow material, and unlocking deeper levels of self-awareness. Their combined perspectives create a powerful map for anyone seeking to explore their inner cosmos.The Burtons also offer guidance on the mindful use of psychedelics, showing how practices like trance work and lucid dreaming can prepare the psyche to safely navigate entheogenic journeys. By bridging ancient psycho-spiritual traditions with modern science and psychology, they present a holistic approach to altered states that emphasizes healing, integration, and transformation. This conversation is a profound exploration of how to consciously journey into the depths of the mind and emerge with wisdom that can reshape our daily lives.

During the early weeks of the pandemic, Tim Hayward spent 14 days in a coma. He remembers this time vividly – his days and nights filled with strange, incandescent visions and hallucinations. That experience is something he would never choose to revisit but, around the world, large numbers of people are deliberately seeking out powerfully altered states. In this ten-part series, Tim sets out to better understand a group of substances that induce altered states: psychedelics. There's been a surge of interest in their therapeutic potential for various mental health conditions - as well as a range of other clinical possibilities. As research around the world ramps up after years of taboo and prohibition he tries to get to grips with - or at least get a clearer sense of - how science, culture, politics and business might all interact in this changing psychedelic landscape, and what it all might mean. He also explores what might be happening in the brain during a trip and whether, by studying psychedelics, we might uncover more about consciousness, imagination and even the mysteries of reality itself.In this first episode he discovers where psychedelics come from, gets terrified about ergot poisoning, and hears from a scientist at the forefront of clinical research looking at psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for treatment resistant depression.Contributors: Lucie Berkovitch, psychiatrist and neuroscientist, GHU Paris Psychiatrie et Neurosciences Erika Dyck, historian of psychedelics, University of Saskatchewan Mike Jay, author and cultural historian David Luke, psychologist and psychedelic researcher, University of GreenwichPresenter: Tim Hayward Series Producer: Richard Ward Executive Producer: Rosamund Jones Editor: Kirsten Lass Written by Tim Hayward and Richard Ward Sound Design and Mixing: Richard Ward Researcher: Grace Revill Voiceover Artist: Sandra-Mae Lux Commissioning Editor: Daniel Clarke A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 4

This episode is a must-watch for parents, health practitioners, and anyone interested in holistic healing, mental resilience, and optimizing human potential.   Highlights: “Conscious connected breathwork is not just a placebo, it's doing real things in the body and brain.”   “The best outcomes come from balance and moderation, not from extremism on either side.”   “Problems only change when people enter these pivotal mental states, talking about them isn't enough.”   “I want to be a voice of reason and truth, free from bias, and help people find real solutions.”   Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 04:18 – From Psychotherapy to Breathwork: Dr. Blake's Personal Healing Journey 05:40 – When Talk Therapy Isn't Enough 09:42 – Designing a Landmark Study: Real Results for Anxiety with Group Breathwork 13:33 – Altered States and Safety: Why Breathwork Needs Skilled Facilitation 19:39 – Masks, Mandates, and the Theatrics of Safety During COVID 22:05 – Coddling, Microaggressions, and the Unintended Harm of Therapy Culture 28:25 – When Mental Health Experts Are Struggling Too: The Echo Chamber Problem 39:22 – Breathwork as a Tool for Resilience, Insight, and Lasting Change 53:49 – Practical Breathwork Resources for Families and Practitioners   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Dr. Richard Blake: Dr. Richard L. Blake holds a PhD in Psychology and led the largest randomized controlled trial on Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) to date. His work bridges science and somatic healing, challenging mainstream assumptions about mental health. He recently gained widespread attention for questioning whether therapy is always beneficial, pointing to unintended harms such as increased family estrangement. Dr. Blake advocates for a more individualized, integrative approach to well-being that includes but is not limited to traditional talk therapy.   The desire to go off grid and have the ability to grow your own food has never been stronger than before.

What if reality is not what it seems? In this mind-expanding episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sits down with entrepreneur, MIT grad, investor, and bestselling author Rizwan Virk, known for his work on simulation theory and the intersection of technology, consciousness, and spirituality. Together, they explore profound questions about the nature of existence, consciousness, and whether our universe might be a sophisticated simulation. Virk shares insights from his personal experiences and research, referencing everything from quantum mechanics and near-death experiences to religious metaphors and the immersive power of video games. Tom and Rizwan navigate the philosophical and scientific landscape—debating the nature of the soul, the mysterious coherence of near-death accounts, and the possibility that ancient wisdom might have been trying to communicate truths later echoed by modern technology.

Your brain is under constant assault from devices you use every day. This episode reveals the hidden effects of 5G on brain function, cognitive performance, and nervous system stress, along with the science-backed method that neutralizes the damage. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder of Quantum Upgrade and a former VP at T-Mobile, to explore groundbreaking EEG research that shows how EMF exposure disrupts brainwaves in real time. Philipp shares how new tools are changing the way we approach biohacking, human performance, and energy medicine, and why even hardcore skeptics are paying attention. They break down double-blind studies, ATP production, and real-world EMF mitigation techniques that support brain health, mitochondrial resilience, and recovery. You'll hear why professional athletes, clinicians, and even animals are benefiting from non-invasive approaches once dismissed as fringe, and how to evaluate what actually works in your own biology. This conversation is essential for anyone focused on biohacking, self-quantification, neurohacking, longevity, functional medicine, Upgrade Labs protocols, and protecting the brain in a wireless world. Whether you're optimizing your nervous system, improving sleep, or just trying to stay sharp in a high-EMF environment, this episode gives you a toolset to reclaim your state. You'll learn: • What EEG brain scans reveal after just 30 minutes of 5G exposure • Why ATP production increases in certain energetic fields • How energy fields influence brainwaves, stress, and performance • The connection between EMFs, mitochondrial function, and resilience • Why placebo doesn't explain these results and what that means for self-tracking • How to use energetic tools alongside Danger Coffee, cold therapy, fasting, and nootropics Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. Episodes are released every Tuesday and Thursday, where Dave asks the questions no one else dares and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.
