2026 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony Performance (REACCION) Future, Shakira, Anitta | El Po K

Two Labubu characters in football jerseys joined the festivities and shared the excitement of football's biggest event with spectators from around the globe.

The FIFA World Cup kicked off today with co-host Mexico taking on South Africa in the opening match with performances by Shakira and Burna Boy. Although, entertainment journalist Karl Puschmann was not a fan of the festivities. He told Andrew Dickens he wished he'd stayed in bed as the show "was flatter than a day old soft drink."

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Stephen Karafiath and Carrie Cox, two friends in a new relationship who are intentionally building love through secure attachment, emotional honesty, and nervous-system awareness.Together, they explore what it means to “wade through the muck” instead of bypassing discomfort — how trauma can be alchemized, how boundaries create safety, and how a shared relational container allows for co-regulation, depth, and intimacy. This conversation touches on vulnerability, conscious partnership, and the courage required to stay present when things get messy — because that's often where transformation lives. Timestamps[00:00:18] Scott and LaRae introduce Stephen Karafiath and Carrie Cox[00:01:03] A new relationship built on depth, presence, and intention[00:02:45] Referencing the Safe to Love podcast conversation[00:03:44] Growth, humility, and learning to soften[00:04:42] Experiencing secure attachment for the first time[00:06:25] Vulnerability, grief, and emotional safety[00:09:22] Metasound, play, and relational witnessing[00:10:31] Water rituals and nature as grounding allies[00:12:46] “Wading through the muck” and where alchemy happens[00:26:02] Alchemizing inherited shame and childhood beliefs[00:26:21] Letting water and nature help hold what can't be fixed[00:32:45] Polyamory as a doorway into deeper relational conversations[00:34:04] Creating a relationship container that doesn't leak energy[00:40:32] Exploring depth together — even where there might be dragons[00:48:17] A shared nervous system and the power of co-regulation[00:49:29] Boundaries, communication, and relational clarity[00:55:46] Relational pillars: emotional, physical, spiritual, sexual[01:10:04] Closing reflections and gratitudeNoteable Quotes “From secure attachment, for what feels like the first time in my life.” – Carrie Cox [04:42]“I love to wade through the muck because I know that's where the alchemy occurs.” – Carrie Cox [12:46]“Setting a container around our relationship that's bigger than both of us, and not leaking any energy outside of it.” – Stephen Karafiath [34:04]“We can go right back down to the depths — you're not afraid to explore coves that might have dragons.” – Stephen Karafiath [40:32]“We've created this shared nervous system, and the benefit is co-regulation.” – Carrie Cox [48:17] Relevant links:Stephen InstagramCarrie's InstagramSubscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions

You've been carrying a hidden poison that's been causing you unnecessary pain and suffering. You've instinctively known something's wrong. You've tried to understand it. You've tried to heal it. You've done the work. And yet it keeps coming back — in your relationships, in your body, in the way you see yourself, in the way you move through the world. This episode does something no therapy session, no book and no course has ever offered you. The Angelics perform a Sacred Ceremony that upgrades your energy field while you listen. By the end of this episode you will know why guilt is more powerful than fear and why this is the most important thing you will ever learn about what has been controlling your life. You will discover that guilt was strategically designed to keep humanity obedient — it was never yours to carry and it was never about you. You will experience the Sacred Ceremony as the Angelics use Universal Intelligence to remove guilt, shame, fear and judgment from your energy field in real time. You will understand why therapy has never fully worked — and what changes permanently when truth replaces guilt. And you will walk away with an upgraded energy field — free from the prey response that guilt has kept you locked inside your entire life. When guilt leaves your energy field, fear leaves with it. This episode is where that begins. This is Part 138 of The Story of Creation, a live recording of Michelle Vickers having conversations with God, The Creator, The Soul of The Universe and other Universal Beings, recorded in front of a live audience.

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, LaRae Wright joins Tessa Arneson and Rocky Donati on the Heart + Head Work podcast for a powerful conversation about moving beyond traditional goal setting and learning to live, work, and grow from a grounded sense of self. This conversation explores presence, intuition, receiving, self-worth, business growth, and the shift from constantly striving toward success to allowing life and work to unfold through deeper inner knowing.LaRae shares her journey from corporate life into intuitive entrepreneurship, the moment she began moving from overthinking into trust, and how redefining success changed the way she approached business, purpose, and personal growth.

On Sunday, May 31, 2026 hundreds gathered together at the Parma Payne Goodall Alumni Center on the campus of San Diego State University to celebrate the life of SDSU Alumnus and Super Fan, Chet Carney. In this episode we present our audio recording of the ceremony featuring speakers: Don Jones, Sarah Eishen, Jim Herrick, Steve Fisher, Brian Dutcher, and Michael Brunker. Chet Carney enrolled at San Diego State in the late 1970s where he was an SDSU yell leader for the 1978-79 athletic year. He returned to the role in the early 1980s, leading cheers from the football field at the school's request. When that ended, Carney became an unofficial cheerleader for the school he loved — and arguably SDSU's most recognizable fan.

What if healing didn't have to feel heavy… but could be rooted in love, safety, and connection? In this deeply moving episode of The Healing You Method Podcast, Gloria Lybecker and Gail Donohue sit down with Matthew "Grizz" Berrier to explore grief, plant medicine, and the power of sacred ceremony in supporting emotional healing and spiritual awakening. After the unimaginable loss of his daughter, Grizz shares how his journey led him into deeper presence, nervous system healing, and creating safe, heart-centered spaces where transformation can unfold naturally. This conversation gently opens a doorway into a different way of understanding healing—one that is relational, grounded, and rooted in safety rather than force. Together, we explore: How grief can become a gateway to deeper connection and purpose The role of plant medicine in emotional and spiritual healing Why safety in the nervous system is essential for transformation What sacred ceremony offers beyond traditional healing paths How love and "family vibration" create space for authentic change This may resonate if you've been navigating loss, feeling disconnected, or sensing that something deeper is calling you—beyond what traditional approaches offer. Because healing isn't meant to be done alone… It's meant to be held in connection, safety, and presence. You're invited to listen with an open heart—and notice what resonates within you. #podcast #healingjourney #griefhealing #plantmedicine #spiritualawakening #nervoussystem #emotionalhealing #traumahealing #selfawareness #mindfulness #personalgrowth #innerhealing #sacredceremony #mentalwellness

What does it mean to rethink religion from the ground up? University of Colorado's religious studies professor Sam Gill draws on biology, philosophy, and decades of research and dance practice to argue that we are moving, whole organisms before we are divided into mind and body. Gill proposes that humans possess a biologically enabled capacity to hold together what we know to be different as if it were the same—a dynamic that underlies the powers of metaphor, masking, dancing, ritual action, symbol, and language. Through vivid examples from Hopi initiation, Javanese shadow puppetry and dance, and Navajo prayer ceremonials, Gill shows how religious actions create worlds, identities, and enduring cultural coherence.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Jason Grechanik, master tabaquero and host of The Universe Within Podcast, for a deep exploration of sacred tobacco as Amazonian plant medicine. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-358/?ref=278  Sacred tobacco is usually understood in the West through the lens of cigarettes, addiction, and commercial misuse. But in Amazonian traditions, Nicotiana rustica is understood very differently: as a master plant, a protector, and a powerful medicine that requires lineage, discernment, and right relationship. Drawing from nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason shares how tobacco is worked with in dieta, ayahuasca ceremony, energetic protection, and direct relationship with plant spirits. Paul and Jason also discuss cannabis, indigenous cosmologies, safety, and what tobacco's history can teach the modern psychedelic movement about power, humility, and proper containers. Jason Grechanik is a master tabaquero trained in the Mamankunawa tradition under curandero Don Ernesto Garcia Torres. With nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason spent many years at the renowned Shipibo healing center Temple of the Way of Light. He is the host of The Universe Within Podcast, with 180+ episodes and 20K+ monthly listeners, co-founder of the Nicotiana Rustica project, and has been featured in DoubleBlind Magazine. Highlights: Jason's path into Amazonian tobacco medicine Tobacco beyond commercial cigarettes Why tobacco is considered a master plant Dieta as direct plant relationship Tobacco as portal and protector Ayahuasca, diagnosis, and plant doctors Safety, toxicity, and proper containers Jaguar and hummingbird tobacco archetypes Cannabis, dreams, and plant relationship Lessons for the psychedelic renaissance Episode Links: The Universe Within Podcast Nicotiana Rustica Project Jason on Instagram Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May sits down with a traditionally trained Ayahuasquera and plant medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate profound healing and transformation.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we step inside the ceremony itself. What actually happens during the consecration of a bishop, and what does every gesture, prayer, and symbol mean? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko guides us through the ancient rite of episcopal consecration, from the examination and oath to the laying on of hands, anointings, vestments, and enthronement. Along the way, we explore the theology behind the episcopacy, the history of the papal mandate, and the Church's understanding of apostolic succession and jurisdiction. This episode offers a rare glimpse into one of the Church's most solemn and beautiful ceremonies.

How has the Church actually handled episcopal consecrations throughout the centuries—and is the requirement of a papal mandate as absolute as many assume? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the development of Church discipline, from the early Church to the modern era, and examines real cases of consecrations without papal approval. Some were clearly schismatic—but others were tolerated or even later accepted. What explains the difference?

I have noticed that in the Kali Yuga, although the last pillar supposedly is truthfulness, that seems to have been eroding quite quickly. I have noticed, however, that oftentimes people make public statements in a political setting, but then, when they're under deposition, they completely change their story because they know that in deposition under oath, you're liable for telling the truth and can be held accountable for it. Well, those brave souls who are accepting initiation are putting themselves under scrutiny. Freedom requires responsibility. rāga-dveṣa-vimuktais tu viṣayān indriyaiś caran ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā prasādam adhigacchati Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad Gītā (BG 2.64), "If you want to be free, you have to take responsibility. You have to be vigilant to maintain freedom." Supposedly, one of our statesmen—although it may be apocryphal—said this about maintaining freedom in democracy: It requires vigilance. So today, as you take your vows, you're making a stand against the eons of living in darkness and prevaricating in speech, and taking the path of the saints. mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā vimanyavaḥ suhṛdaḥ sādhavo ye Those who follow the saints, Ṛṣabhadeva (SB 5.5.2) says can enter into the door of liberation by following the footsteps of the great souls. So the chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa is what the great liberated souls do and what they advocate for. And today, when you take vows in front of the devotees, in front of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta, in front of your guru-varga, then you're taking responsibility for your advancement. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Jim talks with Tyson Yunkaporta—indigenous Australian scholar and author of Sand Talk, one of Jim's top ten favorite books—about his metaphysics and worldview, the ecology of sex and creation, and how to wear rationalist and traditional knowledge frameworks simultaneously. They discuss: Jim's editorial endorsement of Sand Talk—"one of the top 10 best books I have ever read" Tyson's trilogy of books Humans as a custodial species—sacred carers embedded in nature Who Tyson is when he wakes from deep sleep Tyson's experience under general anesthesia—ten thousand years of deep dark oblivion How Jim shifted Tyson toward rationality and evidence-based thinking Tyson's reassessment of peer review and collective scientific inquiry as similar to Indigenous processes of collective knowledge-building Tyson's late initiation into the Apalech clan The distinction between "knowledge systems" and "knowledge of systems" Color blindness as a biological advantage in traditional systems knowledge What's missing in people who haven't gone through full initiation Men's "belly spirit" (nenwi) and "spirit womb" in the Apalech tradition Images and ghosts—the shadow spirit as ego, and how infinite self-replication on social media drains the spirit Tyson's cousin Eric becoming a viral meme and TikTok phenomenon Forager social operating systems and mechanisms to prevent dominant individuals Aboriginal law's three core rights Sex as the center of everything Tyson's response to Plato's Cave Dreamtime and songlines as mistranslations Dreamtime as not an altered state but a continuous orientation The irony of mutual influence—Tyson becoming a rationalist skeptic partly through Jim; Jim becoming more open to spirit partly through Tyson The 3D glasses metaphor for wearing Indigenous and rationalist-materialist lenses simultaneously … and much more.

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Dr. Reid Robison to explore psychedelic therapy methods, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, clinical research with psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and the deeper relationship between mental health, spirituality, healing, and self-awareness. Dr. Robison shares how psychedelic medicines are being studied and used in careful therapeutic settings to help people work through depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, end-of-life fear, and deeply ingrained patterns of suffering. Together, they discuss the difference between symptom management and true healing, the importance of preparation and integration, the role of music as medicine, and why awareness may be one of the most powerful gifts these experiences can offer. This conversation also explores the future of psychedelic medicine, the evolving legal landscape, and the hope that these therapies may help more people access healing in safe, supported, and meaningful ways.Timestamps: [00:00:03] Welcome to The Observatory Podcast[00:00:17] Introducing Dr. Reid Robison and psychedelic therapy for mental health[00:05:40] Dr. Robison's path through psychiatry, ketamine, ayahuasca, MDMA, psilocybin, and LSD research[00:08:00] The 1960s, the war on drugs, and why psychedelic research disappeared for decades[00:13:35] Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and stuck thought patterns[00:16:10] Awareness, self-observation, and learning to see yourself clearly[00:19:31] The harm chart, psilocybin, alcohol, and rethinking risk[00:26:23] What ketamine is and how ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works[00:30:00] Preparation, dosing sessions, music, and integration[00:31:32] Neuroplasticity and reshaping old patterns[00:35:40] Music as medicine in psychedelic journeys[00:44:39] End-of-life anxiety, terminal illness, and psilocybin as a sacred passage[00:46:49] Spirituality, religion, and reconnecting with belief in a higher power[00:52:34] Healing stories, family work, couples work, MDMA, and PTSD[00:58:12] Psychedelic therapy, suicide, religion, and signs of cultural change[01:02:11] The future of psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, and legal therapeutic access[01:04:57] Self-awareness, sovereignty, and becoming your own curriculumNotable Quotes: “Psychedelics have proven to be a really effective way of doing that.

As the wine flows in the Spring of 92 AD, Gaius and Germanicus shift their focus to the power of ceremony and the "paper tiger" status of modern empires. They analyze the symbolic "disrespect" shown during a meeting between the American and Chinese emperors in Beijing, noting how ritualized slights reflect a collapsed military reputation. Germanicus argues that the United States has "defanged" its own sea power, rendering a clash over Taiwan unnecessary because the global power dynamic has already shifted. The duo also delves into historical revisionism, suggesting the Pacific War was an avoidable tragedy exacerbated by failed diplomacy with Japan. Amidst "upbeat stories" for the resting centurions, they conclude that the Anglo-American alliance is viewed as a single entity by Eastern powers, much as it was during the 20th century. The retired soldiers find comfort in these tales of strategic errors that do not reflect their own storied service. (2/3)1937 IMPERIAL JAPAN ARMY IN SHANGHAI

If someone asked you about your personal cosmology — who are you, why are you here and what is your role on our planet — what would you tell them? Or, more to the point, could you really answer the question?For best-selling author Mark Gober, it took years for him to understand the huge gap between following a personal cosmology that was nihilistic, random, superficial and meaningless and living an intentional one that embraces Spirit and the divine in all of us. A decade passed before Mark was ready for his first plant medicine ceremony, and the healing work he did on developing his personal cosmology made all of the difference in creating a positive, intimate experience that keeps on delivering insights. Join Mark and Paul on a journey of discovery and lasting growth with help from plant medicines and learn why a personal cosmology matters this week on Spirit Gym.Check out Mark and his work on his website and on social media via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube and Telegram.Timestamps3:46 Does our intellect or something in our biology block us being receptive to our natural state, especially as we age?12:23 How plant medicines reconnect us to the various aspects of ourselves.15:20 Amnesia is built into the human experience (with a large dose of ignorance thrown in).22:27 Ibogaine: A medicine that loves through truth, even when it is painful.31:12 Mark meets ibogaine.44:00 It took a decade for Mark to be ready for his first plant medicine ceremony.46:55 Mark's four intentions going into his first plant medicine ceremony.1:05:31 Self-betrayal: A form of self-loathing that our society trains us to do.1:09:35 Ancestral trauma, underlying terror and catastrophic thinking.1:17:27 “Whenever we heal for ourselves, we're really healing for our family.”1:26:54 The purpose of existence and authenticity is the only game in town.1:32:07 A sign Mark was tapping into his divine guidance before his plant medicine ceremony: Writing a book about it.ResourcesAn End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark GoberFind more resources for this episode on our website.Music Credit: Meet Your Heroes (444Hz), Composed, mixed, mastered and produced by Michael RB Schwartz of Brave Bear MusicThanks to our awesome sponsors:PaleovalleyBIOptimizers US and BIOptimizers UK PAUL15Organifi CHEK20Wild PasturesPique LifeCHEK InstituteWe may earn commissions from qualifying purchases using affiliate links.
