Dear Friends, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Gold Porter, founder and spokesperson for Artifact Guardians, and Marza Flowers, a Stanford scholar of archaeoacoustics and Egyptian sound consciousness, registered nurse, clinical herbalist, medicine woman, and longtime student of ancient civilizations and Indigenous medicine ways.Raised in Indigenous medicine ways, she carries ceremonial teachings connected to the sacred Door of the Ant and works across Egyptian temple studies, vibrational medicine, cymatics, plant medicine, and shamanic traditions.We explore ancient crystalline artifacts and skulls emerging from Mexico and Gold and Marza's experiences of them as objects carrying consciousness or information. Rather than approaching these artifacts through ownership, they describe their work through the lens of guardianship and relationship. Marza shares her perspective on ancient Egyptian sound technology, sacred architecture, portals, and the importance of approaching sacred sites with discernment and proper training. We also explore her views on timelines, the Mandela Effect and CERN, and why she believes humanity is being asked to evolve our consciousness alongside our rapidly accelerating technology.In this episode, we explore:- Ancient crystalline artifacts and what it means to become their “guardian”- Crystal skulls, consciousness and the possibility of information held within matter- Egyptian sound consciousness and sacred architecture- Ancient civilizations, portals and the importance of discernment- Marza's perspective on CERN, the Mandela Effect and overlapping timelines- Indigenous knowledge and our relationship with the Earth- Ancient intelligence versus artificial intelligence- Why our humanity must evolve alongside our technology- Prayer, heart coherence and unified consciousness“Everything for me is that word home—going inward and finding your inner compass.” — Gold“The thing that calibrates our humanity is our heart.” — MarzaThank you for listening!

892 Everything We Do, Dear Friends, Is For Your Strengthening, A Guided Christian Meditation on Proverbs 3:3-8 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ. Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing. If you feel comfortable doing so, I invite you to close your eyes. Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate. Scripture for Meditation Proverbs 3:3-8 NIV 3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. NET 3 Do not let mercy and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people. 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. 6 Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. 8 This will bring healing to your body, and refreshment to your inner self. Reflection on Scripture: I have been thinking a great deal about the state of modern culture. What the mindset of the world is. I have been increasingly confused to see people who profess faith in Jesus become attached to one cultural idea or another in a way that seems to mirror religious devotion. One very profound goal of our meditations can and perhaps should be, to focus on the content of this scripture as a remedy for this idea. What do you hold to with undue ferocity? Perhaps the easy answer is faith in God. There seems to be no major problem with that, provided it doesn't cause us to hate others. It is perfectly acceptable even to maintain a perspective about certain behavior we should aim for, even while refusing to hate others. I think at all times we should be suspicious of the perspective that the world serves us. Perhaps from the news, politics, social media. Each of these sources are so thoroughly corrupted by the mindset of our fallen world that as believers we should be incredibly hesitant to believe them with anywhere near the ferocity we would place in the God of heaven. A politician should always take a backseat compared to a prophet. Influencers should have far less influence over us than God's word. At this moment I invite you to sit in calm meditation, carefully examining. May each of us not let mercy and truth leave us. May we have them written on the table of our heart. May we acknowledge that we should hold up God's wisdom above the wisdom of the world. We should be willing, at every moment, to turn from the consensus of the voices of the world and turn toward the wisdom of God who will give us good understanding. May we acknowledge him in every way and may he direct our paths for good. Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?

Dear Friends, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with my new friend, David Lorimer, writer, poet, philosopher, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network, and Chair of the Galileo Commission. We recently met in the South of France, while I was on Dr. Nicola Amadora's Mary Magdalene tour. For decades, David has been at the forefront of conversations exploring consciousness, science, spirituality, near-death experiences, and the deeper nature of reality.We begin with David's lifelong “quest for wisdom” and why true wisdom cannot be separated from love, compassion, discernment, and direct experience. We also dive into the research surrounding near-death experiences, survival of consciousness, and the possibility that death is not an ending, but a transition into another mode of consciousness. David shares decades of experience studying these phenomena and the recurring patterns reported by people who have come close to death.“We have to wake up, and we have to try to use our lives to contribute to the larger common good, and to grow in love and wisdom.”— David LorimerKey Takeaways- Wisdom is more than knowledge. True wisdom integrates discernment and deeper understanding with love and compassion.- Intuition is fundamental to discovery. Major scientific breakthroughs often begin with intuitive insight before the analytical mind works out the science.- Our current scientific understanding of consciousness may be incomplete, opening the door to a much larger exploration of the nature of mind and reality.- Death may be a transition rather than an ending. Near-death experiences show striking recurring patterns, including peace, out-of-body experiences, beings of light, and life reviews.- We may be expressions of one consciousness, raising profound questions about interconnectedness and the nature of the self.- The mind and heart need to develop together. Intellectual or spiritual knowledge alone does not necessarily create an integrated human being.- Mary Magdalene offers another lens on the Divine Feminine and the integration of sacred masculine and feminine principles.Our lives can serve something larger. The invitation is to wake up, expand our consciousness, contribute to the common good, and continue growing in love and wisdom.Thank you for listening!

Dear Friends, I am excited to announce a new monthly membership for listeners of Gateways, called Gateways to Inner Knowing, where I'll be sharing reflections, takeaways, meditations, live calls, occasional guest drop-ins, and more. You can learn more here: In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Dr. Sue Morter, internationally recognized teacher, speaker, bioenergetics expert, and author of The Energy Codes, to explore the relationship between consciousness, energy, the body, and our deeper spiritual nature.Sue's work brings together ancient wisdom, energy medicine, meditation, and our understanding of the human body to ask a profound question: How do we move from intellectually understanding who we are to actually embodying it?“The body isn't something we need to transcend in order to awaken. It may be the very instrument through which awakening becomes embodied.” - Dr. Sue Morter Big thank you to my soul brother Bruce Cryer for the introduction! We explore why so many of us live primarily from the mind, what it means to bring our awareness back into the body, and how our energetic patterns can influence the way we experience ourselves and the world around us. In this conversation, we explore:What The Energy Codes are and how Sue developed the frameworkWhy consciousness and embodiment must work togetherWhat it means to live from the Soulful Self rather than the Protective PersonalityHow energy moves through the body and why the central channel mattersThe relationship between breath, the nervous system, and consciousnessWhy intellectual insight alone doesn't always change our patternsHow our bodies can carry unresolved energetic and emotional experiencesWhat it means to embody rather than simply understand our spiritual natureWe would LOVE to hear from you! What did you learn? Tune into Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, scientists, mystics, entrepreneurs, and consciousness pioneers exploring the future of human potential.If this episode resonates with you, you may also enjoy Yasmeen's work through the Inner Knowing School, where she teaches intuition, energetic mastery, multidimensional awareness, and nervous system regulation through private immersions and executive cohorts.

Dear Friends, This episode is a special tribute episode to our dear friend and co-host Andrea, who we lost on April 27th, 2026. Andrea was the best of us, a true light in the Ted Lasso podcast community and in the world. In this episode we share some of our favorite moments and memories with Andrea and include a number of clips from older episodes where she shares her wise words. In the episode we mention two charities that Andrea supported. If you are interested in giving a donation in her memory, they are Forever Fortunate Felines and Chicago Books to Women in Prison through Women & Children First, Chicago. If you are unable to make a monetary donation at this time, you can always check out Andrea's Storygraph account and read one of the many books on her TBR list. And if you're not ready to listen to this episode yet, we completely understand. Just know her voice is always still here whenever you are ready to hear it. Thank you and love to you all, Bex, Marita, and Michaela

Dear Friends,In honor of this very Pluto full Moon, I am releasing a conversation I recorded with Theresa earlier this month. I meant to post this episode two weeks ago, but I was swallowed up first by finals (summer school, ew, gross) and then by my birthday, which was not just any birthday but was, in fact, my 40th birthday—a milestone for which I felt a sort of uncharacteristic reverence that I didn't know how to meet or what to do with.I ended up spending the day with friends and family, and the next morning my boyfriend took this photo of me eating cake for breakfast on the couch. The photo made me smile because, as a child, I was notoriously unable to keep my eyes open for pictures, and I felt, somehow, like I could reach through the image of this forty-and-one-day-old lady into the heart of my inner child (who, by the way, has ALWAYS loved chocolate cake as much as the photo suggests).My boyfriend has a theory about kids who can't keep their eyes open in family photos. He says these little squinters are the “good” kids—the attentive, hyper-attuned, eager-to-please children who wait with their smiles and faces camera-ready while the rest of the group gets wrangled and wrestled into order. By the time the camera flashes, the good kids miss the moment; their eyes flutter shut from the fatigue and unnatural straining. I have no way of assessing the accuracy of his theory, but it certainly falls under the category of feels true. And yesterday, as I relistened to parts of Theresa's and my Pluto conversation, I felt a powerful kinship with the good little kid inside me and a reverence for all the transformation she's undergone to get to where she is today.The truth is I still am the good kid. I am terrified of messing up, of disappointing others, of being misunderstood. There is a part of me that still wants to smile when it's time to smile; to get the best grades; to be the perfect homemaker; to embody the pleasing visage of feminine grace my mother hoped and prayed and begged of me. But my life had different plans for me.In this episode, Theresa and I dive deep into all things Pluto, but if I were to sum up the Lord of the Underworld in one line here, I would say Pluto represents the layers of deeply held, conscious and unconscious fears that barricade our path to transformative change. His transits tend to correspond with one or the other side of this process: encounters with the fear and/or experiences of transformation.This morning, the Moon reaches the apex of her fullness at 6 degrees of Aquarius in conjunction with Pluto, opposite the Sun-Jupiter cazimi. It also happens to be a full Moon on top of my natal Moon, which, for those of you beloved astro nerds who are paying close attention, means I am currently in the throes of an extended Pluto-Moon transit. Pluto has become my Moon's multi-year bedfellow, and today takes a highlighter pen to this very long transit, the transit I believe represents the real force underlying the heavy reverence I felt about turning 40, as well as the weepy, yearning love I feel for that good kid inside me.Robert Hand described the Pluto-Moon conjunction as a powerful transformation of the most intensely personal and preconscious part of the psyche. I was born with Pluto in Scorpio in the 12th house, and I suffered from extreme anxiety and terrifying intrusive thoughts as a child. For the most part, this went unnoticed by others because—hello, Saturn, planet of boundaries and responsibility, on my Ascendant—I wasn't much of an externalizer. I kept my complaints and feelings to myself.What were the root causes of my childhood anxiety? Probably a lot of things, but fundamentalist Christian day-school is high on my list of prime suspects. I was, for better or worse, both an innately spiritual and innately serious child—a perfect storm of vulnerabilities that resulted in my taking the greatest hits of Christian fundamentalism much too much to heart at far too young an age.You were born wrong, bad, sinful, broken. Your mind is not to be trusted. Your heart is corrupt. God can save you, but only if you think the right, rightest, most righteous thoughts and remember to ask forgiveness for the wrong thoughts! That is, if you have time and you don't get caught sinning with your bad, broken mind at the very end—which is totally near, scheduled for a time nobody knows, except for… this fucking thief in the night guy?To a large degree, the 12th house represents the unconscious mechanisms of our psyche that color our experience of our innermost selves. The 12th house contains places of retreat, experiences of isolation, and the mental states and physical places we enter into during forced and voluntary solitude. Sometimes I think of the 12th house very simply as what being alone feels like. And as a child, being alone was the fucking worst. Alone is when my mind would begin to swirl and struggle against the rip current of the underworld. Pluto, through his fear-inspiring religious actors, had managed to isolate me almost entirely from myself. I couldn't trust my own heart; I feared doing wrong; I feared harming others; I feared the end of the world; my mind projected violent, intrusive images of the worst things I could imagine. I felt trapped in a prison inside myself, all the while smiling when I was meant to smile and doing my best to project my perfect, rule-following trustworthiness.In my forty years of life, Pluto has moved through three houses in my chart, and my relationship to these early childhood experiences has transformed and evolved. I no longer feel the acute pain that raged within me throughout my 20s and 30s; I have come to accept that an intense relationship with spirituality is part of my path. I wish it had not started with harm and religious trauma, but the intensity never stopped; it transformed into a deep, profound, personal, sensory, heart-centered relationship with the Divine. And when Pluto opposed my Sun for nearly three years in the early 2020s, I cultivated a unique and personal spiritual practice that I might not have gotten to if I hadn't had the harm to press up against with all the force of my unyielding anger and indignation. But my spiritual practice didn't fix everything. In fact, the most consistent effect of my practice is that it reveals what has yet to be resolved and routinely sets me down new paths of healing, equipped with the internal and external resources I need to help me change myself. (This, by the way, is my definition of grace, but that is the topic of another essay.)What is relevant now is that even though my spiritual trauma is much healed and largely transformed, I am still working on the raw sensations beneath the Christian schoolgirl story. As transiting Pluto comes to sit on my Moon, I am still learning to trust myself. I am still cultivating an inner sense of my own goodness. I am still interrupting both the impulse to seek external validation and the extreme pressure I place on myself to perform—to be insightful, to say only the right, correct thing, and never the wrong, accidentally harmful thing. And as Pluto transits around my chart, he will always bring circumstances to the surface that will threaten to isolate me from myself. How I respond to those circumstances determines if Pluto will tug the knot tighter or loosen its hold.When I turned 40 last week, I moved into a Mars profection year. Mars is a troublemaker, but he is also my favorite of the planetary deities. I love him like you love a brother you're always fighting with. Mars never holds back—not on criticism, conviction, or love.On the eve of my birthday, I went into meditation and found Mars inside myself. I asked him to help me face this very Pluto-Moon year with grace and determination, to help me move through the world with more courage, and to help me overcome the patterns of dissociation I've been running since childhood. I asked Mars to help me learn how to stay in my body when I want to eject, to follow through, to fight for myself, and to believe in the value of my own work.And this, to me, will always be the real value of astrology: not to determine what will be, but to help us strive toward what we wish to become, with the aid of beings who exist beyond us and within us. Between them, they hold expressions of every quality—the familiar and the unfamiliar, that which comes naturally and that which feels distant and inaccessible. We have access to so much help and so many teachers. It is a wonder to live this life. Thank you for being here with me on this very Pluto Full Moon. Here's to another 40 years.

Dear Friends, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen sits down with Aiylah Valkyrie, water priestess, ascension guide, and channel, to explore the deeper intelligence of water, the power of remembrance, and what it means to live in alignment with your soul's path. This conversation moves beyond traditional spirituality into something more embodied, intuitive, and elemental. Aiylah shares her perspective on water as a living consciousness, how it holds memory, and how we can begin to co-create with it in our daily lives, as something we are in constant relationship with. Big thank you to my soul brother Kevin for the introduction! We talk about the following and so much more: - Water is not just physical—it is a living, intelligent field that holds memory and responds to intention- True knowing comes from remembering what is already encoded within you, not just learning externally- Your thoughts are frequency signals—what you hold consistently shapes your reality- Sovereignty means aligning your life fully with your soul's mission and removing what is not in resonance- Simple daily rituals (with water, breath, or nature) can restore balance and connection- Light language is a non-verbal, energetic transmission that transcends traditional communication- The elements (water, fire, earth, air, ether) are pathways to deeper consciousness and embodiment- Time is not linear—it is fluid, cyclical, and accessible through awareness“When it's a thought, it's already a thing.” - AiylahHer IG is here: https://www.instagram.com/alleyvalkyrie/Tune into Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, scientists, mystics, entrepreneurs, and consciousness pioneers exploring the future of human potential.

Dear Friends, What if health isn't just biochemical, but energetic, informational, and deeply connected to our relationship with light, water, movement, and even our thoughts?"The body isn't broken. It's sending messages. It's out of coherence. And there are so many roads back to coherence, but some of the most beautiful roads are so simple." - Dr. Catherine ClintonIn this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Clinton, naturopathic physician, educator, and author of Optimize, to explore the emerging field of quantum biology and what it reveals about healing, coherence, and human potential. Together they unpack how light influences our mitochondria, why water may function like a biological battery, how fascia acts as a body-wide communication network, and why emotions such as gratitude, awe, and presence can have measurable effects on our physiology. Dr. Clinton shares her personal journey from illness to healing, the daily practices that help her cultivate coherence, and why some of the most powerful health interventions are also the simplest.In this conversation, you'll discover:• What quantum biology is, and why it's changing how we understand health• The science of heart coherence and its impact on the body• How sunlight, infrared energy, and circadian rhythms influence vitality• The surprising relationship between fascia, hydration, and emotional well-being• Why movement is a form of hydration• The role of structured and energized water in human health• How thoughts, emotions, and language shape our biology• Simple practices to restore coherence and reconnect with your body's innate intelligenceTune into Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, scientists, mystics, entrepreneurs, and consciousness pioneers exploring the future of human potential.

Dear Friends, What if your dog is not just your companion… but a spiritual guide?In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with author and spiritual teacher JJ Flowers to explore the deeper, often unseen relationship between humans and dogs. Based on her book The Spiritual Dog: Emissary of Unconditional Love and Healing, JJ shares a powerful perspective: that dogs are not companions, but intentional beings who enter our lives to support, heal, and evolve with us.Together, they explore the idea that dogs are carriers of unconditional love, operating from a level of awareness that most humans have forgotten how to access. From telepathic communication to emotional mirroring, JJ explains how dogs constantly read our energy, reflect our inner world, and in many cases, transmute what we cannot process ourselves. The conversation moves through grief, healing, and the unseen realms, as JJ shares her personal journey of loss and the spiritual awakening that followed, opening her perception to a deeper connection with both the animal kingdom and the energetic world beyond the physical. Yasmeen and JJ also explore practical ways to deepen your connection with your dog, including simple techniques for intuitive communication, understanding your dog's behavior as energetic feedback, and how practices like breathwork and meditation can strengthen your sensitivity to subtle energy. Special shout-out to my adopted dogs, Goose and Lucky. Love you both so much. :) And to all the dogs that bring us so much love. We love you. In this episode, we explore:- Why dogs may choose us—and the idea of soul contracts across lifetimes- How dogs mirror and absorb human emotional states- The role of unconditional love as a healing force- How to begin communicating with your dog intuitively- The energetic and spiritual anatomy shared between humans and animals- How grief can open the doorway to expanded awareness- Why connection—to animals, to each other, and to something greater—is at the core of healing- This episode invites you to see your dog—and perhaps all of life—through an entirely new lensTune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Dear Friends,We're heading to the Gemini New Moon on June 14, at 10:54 PM ET at 24+ Gemini, ushering in a whole new era of Uranus in Gemini.Here's this week's Cosmic Diaries Astrology Podcast: June 14 - 21, 2026Very significantly, this New Moon makes a sextile to Chiron at 29+ Aries; marking the beginning of the end of Chiron's transit in Aries since 2018 (the same year Uranus entered Taurus). And in the biggest headline of week: Chiron's ingresses Taurus on June 19, 2026, for the first time since 1984. Next year in 2027, Chiron will make its first ever return to discovery degree — 3+ Taurus, marking an evolutionary threshold the planet at large and all sentient beings. This is an unprecedented astrological event, one that I have been watching closely for 20 years, (and perhaps my whole life). So much so that Chiron's first ingress into Taurus almost snuck up on me.With this Gemini New Moon sextile Chiron, Chiron has something to say — so I'll be back with more on Chiron in Taurus, very soon. -Currently, we're in the Dark of the Moon in Gemini. Move inward. Silence the mind. Listen to your inner voice and the insights coming through. There is no separation.As you enter the New Moon cycle, life is picking up pace rather dramatically, bringing unexpected developments, and a fork in the road. Pay attention to your mental health, keep an open mind, and above all be true to yourself. Then with conscious choices, you can shape your future with greater awareness, in alignment with your hearts true desires, and who you are today.More about this in this weeks astrology forecast. UPDATE: I will be at Namaste Book every Tuesday from 12 - 8 PM ET offering Astrology and Tarot Consultations at Namaste Bookshop. If you're in the city — come down and see me there! I would love to meet and work with you.

Dear Friends, What if your life is not linear… but happening across multiple dimensions at once?In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Patricia Walls, author, teacher, and founder of Earth Woman LLC, to explore the nature of multidimensional reality, light language, and the hidden architecture of consciousness.Patricia shares a radically expanded perspective on time, revealing that past, present, and future are not separate, but coexisting experiences. Together, we explore what it means to live across timelines, how intuition operates beyond logic, and why so many people are beginning to awaken to a deeper, more expansive awareness of reality. The conversation moves into the Hall of Records—an inner space where your soul's experiences are stored—and how accessing it can allow you to release contracts, shift timelines, and reclaim your agency. Patricia offers a live, guided experience into this field, opening a doorway into self-inquiry and energetic sovereignty. We also dive into light language as a universal, pre-verbal form of communication—one that transmits frequency, healing, and information beyond words. Patricia explains how it works, why it affects everyone differently, and how it reconnects us to a more original state of being.In this episode, we explore:- What it truly means to live in a multidimensional reality- Why time may not exist the way we think it does- The role of free will in shaping timelines and outcomes- How fear blocks higher possibilities and aligned decisions- What the Hall of Records is and how to access it- Releasing energetic contracts, patterns, and subconscious imprints- Light language as a frequency-based, universal communication system- How to strengthen intuition and trust your inner knowing-Energetic sovereignty, boundaries, and working with unseen forcesYou can learn more about Patricia here: https://patriciawalls.net/Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.We would love to hear from you!

I claim my body, my mind, my energy, and my field as my own.No force, seen or unseen, no influence, agreement, or attachment has permission to override, manipulate, or diminish me. I release all agreements—known and unknown— that were made in confusion, fear, survival, or unconsciousness.They are null and void now. I call all of my energy back to me— from every person, place, timeline, and experience.Clean, clear, and restored. I return all energy that is not mine to its rightful place, without attachment or entanglement. My field is sovereign.My will is clear. My presence is anchored. I choose alignment with truth, clarity, and integrity. I choose to stand in my own knowing.Only what honors my highest good may enter, connect, or remain.Everything else dissolves. I am self-led. I am self-sourced. I am sovereign.And so it is

We're talking Kinks, we're talking Van Halen, we're talking Lennon, we're talking Quiet Riot, T-Rex, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Oh and we spend a few minutes talking about Queen too! Bri had hepatitis, Freddie sang his song, and John kept Roger out of the way and out of trouble. He probably rolled the windows down in the pub and everything. What am I going on about? Who the fuck knows. But this week, we spun up another track from Sheer Heart Attack. It's the shortest proper song in the Queen catalogue, if you discount instrumentals and "Yeah!". It's a Bri joint. It's "Dear Friends"!If Randy were to title this podcast, he'd probably call it "Poor lonely Bri" or possibly, "Rog' and Deacy, get the fuck out of here, we're busy!"NOTE: Skip forward to 24:16 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the fabulous "Hijack the Show" by Absofuninlutely, from their black album; "Residential Gas Leak".

Dear Friends, What if Snakes and Ladders was never meant to be a children's game?In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Polina Rud, art historian, therapist, and guide of the ancient Indian oracle gyān caupar (also known as Snakes and Arrows). Polina shares the little-known origin story behind the board we all remember: an archetypal map of consciousness designed to reveal patterns in the psyche, karmic loops, and the hidden forces shaping our choices.Together, they explore how this “theater of fate” becomes a real-time mirror for your inner world: the role of intention (and why you have to get radically honest to enter the game), what it means when you keep landing on the same squares, and how “snakes” symbolize shadow—not as punishment, but as an invitation to integration and transformation.They also go deeper into why ancient cultures encoded spiritual wisdom into play, how randomness can soften the ego's grip, and why intuition must be trained—especially in a world flooded with noise, misinformation, and external authority.This is a conversation about destiny, discernment, shadow work, compassion, and the profound spiritual intelligence hidden inside a simple board game.In this episode, we cover:The ancient origins of Snakes and Ladders as gyān caupar / Snakes and ArrowsHow to use the game as an oracle (and why intention matters)Why repeating squares reveals repeating life patterns“Good company” vs. “bad company” and the psychology of truth-tellingWhat snakes symbolize: shadow, projection, compassion, and growthWhy play is foundational for mental health (and how it helps metabolize trauma)How to strengthen intuition without outsourcing your authority to divination toolsWhy compassion can take you further than “service” aloneAbout Polina Rud Polina Rud is a doctoral candidate in art history, an art curator and lecturer, and a therapist with training in mental health and suicide risk. She specializes in cross-cultural symbolic systems including runic oracles, theosophy, and Hindu astrology, and she guides clients through gyān caupar as a tool for self-knowledge, decision-making, and transformation.Connect with PolinaWebsite: polinarud.com (as mentioned in the episode)Social: “It's Not the End”NGO: theworldhurts.com (free psychosocial support and resources, including support for activists)Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Dear Friends, You wont want to miss this episode, especially if you're tracking what's happening in the Middle East. In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Laura Eisenhower, global alchemist and founder of CosmicGaia.org, and great-granddaughter of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, for a deeply expansive conversation on astrology, collective timelines, and the energetic dynamics shaping our world.Laura shares why she sees linear time as increasingly fluid and why astrology is best understood as a map of cycles and probabilities rather than fixed prediction. Together, we explore the South Node in Virgo / North Node in Pisces axis and what it is teaching humanity about mind–body–spirit integration and learning to trust the body's intelligence. We also dive into the powerful outer-planet alignments, including Saturn and Neptune, and what they may be dissolving within old authority structures. A key part of our conversation explores Laura's research into the Iran region as a significant energetic gateway within the planetary stargate framework, and how she believes trauma loops and reversal patterns in key global locations can ripple through the collective field. “We don't want to lose ourselves to the fear and the outcome — we want to hold what we want to see.” - Laura Eisenhower In this episode, we explore:- The dissolving illusion of linear time and “divine timing”- South Node Virgo → North Node Pisces integration- Saturn–Neptune dynamics and collapsing old structures- Nervous system regulation as a spiritual technology- Discernment in the age of information overload- Iran and the 10th Gate in Laura's planetary stargate framework- Reversal timelines and collective trauma loops- Planetary grids and global energetic hotspots- Working with water, prayer, and emotional coherence- Choosing love, family, and community in volatile timesIf you have been feeling the intensity of the current moment, this conversation offers both cosmic context and grounded tools to help you stay centered, sovereign, and connected to your inner knowing.Guest: Laura EisenhowerWebsite: CosmicGaia.orgIf you enjoyed this episode we would love to hear from you!

Dear Friends,In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Doug Hilton, a counselor with over 30 years of experience supporting clients through trauma, addiction recovery, and couples/family dynamics, and a Certified Universal Healing Tao instructor who has integrated Qigong into his clinical practice for two decades. Doug is also the co-author (with Master Mantak Chia) of The Tao of Addiction and Recovery, a book that reframes addiction through a Taoist lens: not as a moral failure, but as a system-level imbalance—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.Together, we explore:- Why Doug describes addiction as an imbalance in the system, and how that insight emerged through Taoist training in Thailand- What Taoism is (and what it is not): a spiritual system rooted in living in harmony with nature, without dogma or forced belief- How addiction develops through natural human tendencies (adaptation, denial, pain avoidance) that can become exploited over time- The Taoist view of recovery as harmony over willpower, and why inner balance reduces the “need to medicate”- A practical, grounding Qigong entry point: breathing into the lower Dantian (“Where the mind goes, the chi follows”)- The Inner Smile Meditation and the elemental organ system—how sequencing (wood → fire vs. water → fire) supports balance- Doug's work bridging Western therapy and Taoist energetics: EMDR, trauma, and Taoist Emotional Recycling (TER)- A simple guided TER eye-movement practice you can try (when you are not driving) to support emotional clearing- Shame, guilt, relapse, and how restoring flow through the “garden hose” system of energy channels changes recovery outcomes- Why sexuality and sexual energy are often neglected in mainstream recovery—and how Taoist practices help integrate it with care- Doug also shares his personal journey—how Taoism “found him” long before he fully understood it—and why he believes this work matters not only for people facing addiction, but for anyone touched by it.Resources & LinksDoug Hilton: fullcirclehealing.caThailand program: balancerhehab.solutionsBook: The Tao of Addiction and Recovery Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.
