Ketamine and other plant medicines can be effective in dealing with trauma and shifting perspectives. The contamination of spirituality by religion has led to a loss of connection to God and a need for individual exploration and understanding. The new paradigm of masculinity involves being emotionally available, purpose-driven, and sensitive to others. Choosing light over darkness is a powerful mindset that can lead to personal growth and transformation. Embracing both light and darkness in life is essential for growth and balance. Quantum upgrade frequencies can have a profound impact on abundance and prosperity. The surrender experiment involves letting go of personal preferences and going with the flow of life. Finding your true fans and building a loyal following is key to success. Working with men and masculinity requires understanding and creating a safe space for open and honest conversations. Understanding and balancing masculine and feminine energies is essential for personal growth and healthy relationships. Men can benefit from creating spaces for emotional expression and vulnerability. Men's retreats provide an opportunity for personal growth, community connection, and intentional planning. Conscious eating can be a form of meditation and a way to cultivate gratitude and presence. Healing ancestral trauma requires deep inner work and can lead to personal liberation and a broader perspective on historical events.   Summary: In this conversation, Yoni Havana discusses his journey into holistic health and awakening. He shares his experiences with plant medicine, including the power of plant medicine in healing and the importance of integration and processing experiences.

There is an increasing awareness in the world today that our shared reality is simply layer upon layer of energy, created by people like you and me, and that what we see around us is nothing more than an expression of our internal universe. These ideas are not new, they have been with us for thousands of years, but as modern science continues to catch up to ancient wisdom, they are being recieved by more people than ever before. This energy flows constantly, all around us, through us, into us and out from us towards others. That is its nature. Obstruct the flow and you can expect blockages, stagnation, problems and stress, but let it flow and you tap into a powerful tool for healing. Danny Morel has been at the forefrunt of this energy revolution for many years, helping people transform their lives, release the restrictions they place on themselves and reestablish relationships with their true self. His approach reminds us of the extraordinary beings we all are, and helps attune our senses to the infinite energy with which we are endowed, energy to redefine our reality and let love flow forth for all. Whether it's working through emotional trauma, getting your lifestyle back into shape or manifesting the success you know you deserve, it all starts with divine energy, and directing it to the right places. Danny Morel is an Awakening Guide dedicated to helping humanity awaken their life's truest potential. He has helped hundreds of people transform their lives through his books, events, retreats, and seminars. The foundation of his teachings are simple: Everything in a persons outer world (finances, health, relationships, etc.) is a reflection of the persons inner world. Danny will guide you through healing internal fears and limiting beliefs you have unknowingly been living with since childhood. He will lead you to reconnect with your life's truest potential, purpose, and power. “Never look to others for success, because that will only distract you from your own.” - Danny Morel -- Connect with Danny Morel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6XrfKQNKp28YzYFP96aq-A Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dannymorel/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannymorel Website: https://www.dannymorel.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Danny.Morel.Page Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Danny-Morel/e/B0712539Z8%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share -- Hit me up on social media and say hi!

Text of the Day: The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name. (John 20:11-18) Reflection Questions: 1 — Take ten minutes today to simply pray in gratitude for what Jesus has done for you.  2 — Pray specifically for someone who might need a word of grace from Jesus. 3 — Join us for our Friday night program.

Text of the Day: Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!” “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed. Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me. (John 20:26-29) Reflection Questions: 1 — What messages do you need to hear again and again so they will embed themselves into your heart? 2 —What practice can you put in place to remind you of how good God really is? 3 —What does “not to grieve as others do who have no hope” mean?  Want to get in touch with a pastor? Crosswalk Redlands: mike@crosswalkvillage.com (Mike Rhynus) Crosswalk Chattanooga: cwchattanooga@crosswalkvillage.com

Text of the Day: One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.” (John 20:24-25) Reflection Questions: 1 — What proof do you need to believe? 2 — Have you ever felt that following Jesus was an inevitability in your life, but you still wanted to wait for a bit? 3 — What keeps you from believing today?   Want to get in touch with a pastor? Crosswalk Redlands: mike@crosswalkvillage.com (Mike Rhynus) Crosswalk Chattanooga: cwchattanooga@crosswalkvillage.com

Text of the Day: That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” (John 20:19-23) Reflection Questions: 1 — How does the change we see in these people that met Jesus that night affect your thoughts on Jesus?  2 — How do you think you would have reacted to this occurrence?  3 — What can you tell someone about why you believe in Jesus?  Want to get in touch with a pastor?

Text of the Day: Mary was standing outside the tomb crying, and as she wept, she stooped and looked in. She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying. “Dear woman, why are you crying?” the angels asked her. “Because they have taken away my Lord,” she replied, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she didn’t recognize him. “Dear woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.” “Mary!” Jesus said. She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”). “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she gave them his message. (John 20:11-18) Reflection Questions: 1 — As you study the story of the aftermath of the resurrection, is what comes to mind hard to understand or believe?  2 — How would you explain the resurrection to someone who had never heard it before? How can you press upon them the incredible love that this exposes? 3 — Why, do you think, did it take the disciples a while to awaken to the fact that Jesus was risen?  Want to get in touch with a pastor?

Text of the Day: Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings. Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed— for until then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead. Then they went home. (John 20:1-10) Reflection Questions: 1 — When did you realize what the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus really meant? 2 —When did you decide you wanted nothing more in life than to follow Jesus, whose sacrifice made your whole life possible? 3 — What would you say if someone asked you to follow Jesus as the center and circumference of your life? Would you be willing? How would that change how you live your life today? Want to get in touch with a pastor?

Awakening - This is the action of becoming conscious. We move from sleep to wake, from unfocused to focused. This series, our study focuses on many of the words that were said from the Cross of Christ that have evoked an awakening in people to the love, grace, compassion, and hope of Jesus. For two millennia these words have shocked humanity, divided them, and saved them. What we see of these final hours in the life of Jesus, by transcending the synoptic gospels and the gospel of John, is a Savior that is worth knowing, worth loving, and worth following. We hope you use this guide to study with someone who might not know Christ, or has a curiosity about him.

Text of the Day: As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. (Luke 23:26) Reflection Questions: 1 — Have you ever been called upon to help someone out at the last minute? Did you answer the call?  2 —How do you think you would feel about being conscripted into service by an invading force? Would that make you want to help or to be hesitant?  3 —If you are studying this story for the first time, what questions do you have that the person you are studying with can answer? We suggest that you read the story that led us to this moment, starting from the beginning of Luke, Chapter 23.  Want to get in touch with a pastor?

Die quirlige Irina ist Tanztherapeutin und Awakening Guide, sie begleitet (vor allem) Frauen auf ihrem Suche nach mehr Selbstbewusstsein, Vertrauen und Mut, damit sie ihren Lebensweg gehen und stets auf ihre eigenen Fähigkeiten vertrauen können. Dieses female empowerment kann mitten in Zürich, aber auch auf Ibiza oder im lebhaften, bunten Marrakesch passieren, da findet übrigens im September der nächste Kurs statt. In solchen Souldance-Journeys lehrt sie, wie man sich (tanzend) von alten Mustern lösen kann und so zu sich selbst findet. Tanzen muss man dafür übrigens überhaupt nicht können - aber eine gehörige Portion Bewegungsfreude, Lust und Neugier auf Neues und Fremdes mitbringen. Na, interessiert? Dann nix wie reinhören!

Awakening Guide. Tanztherapeutin. Spaceholderin. Impulsgeberin. Ent-wicklerin. All das und noch viel mehr ist Irina Horvath. Eine Frau, die ihrem Seelenruf folgt. Eine Frau, die andere darin begleitet, ihrem eigenen Seelenruf zu folgen und ihre Grenzen zu erweitern. Wer ist diese Frau? Das und noch mehr hörst du in dieser Folge. Mehr zu Irina Horvath findest du unter: www.irinahorvath.com

There are many different types of spiritual awakenings, from kundalini rising to shamanic initiations and everything in between. This often misunderstood range of human experience is explored beautifully and thoroughly by spiritual healer and author, Mary Mueller Shutan, in her new book The Spiritual Awakening Guide: Kundalini, Psychic Abilities, and The Conditioned Layers of Reality from Findhorn Press. This guide is unique in helping the reader to understand what experience they are in the middle of and how to shape the experience into a meaningful transformation. Drawing from her extensive training in multiple healing forms, Mary joins host, Christina Pratt, to share the different layers of going to sleep, the many ways we wake up, and how to free your awakening process to become the direct revelatory path it is meant to be.

To this day Kundalini is not well understood or appreciated by most people undergoing an authentic spiritual awakening. Some teachers place way too much emphasis on Kundalini as THE only path to spiritual awakening while others dismiss it without understanding its vital place in the transformative process. In Bonnie Greenwell's latest two books "The Kundalini Guide" and "The Awakening Guide" she excels in providing a wise, compassionate and balanced perspective on the true place of Kundalini in the spiritual process. We'll be exploring this with her today.
