Episode SummaryOto sits down with longtime friend Christopher August — bestselling author, breathwork facilitator, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a wide-ranging conversation on identity, awakening, and the nervous system. Christopher traces his path from a corporate career and a master's degree to two years living in a rural Tanzanian village, and then to the moment that changed everythingA near-death experience on a class-five rapid on the Zambezi River, where he lost consciousness and came back with a completely new relationship to breath. From there they dig into the Gene Keys system (shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequencies), the "great solar flash" prophecy tied to 1987/2012/2027The difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic breathing, and how breathwork and plant medicine can overlap — before closing on Christopher's Mastery Collective, his Beats and Breath app, and a live guided breath with the audience.Chapters / Timestamps (Shifted +1:00 to account for the trailer at the top of the episode)00:00 – Trailer 01:00 – Intro & Meet Christopher August 03:00 – Leaving Corporate for a Village in Tanzania 05:00 – The Near-Death Experience on the Zambezi River 08:00 – Identity, Ego Death & the Path of Letting Go 14:00 – Masculine, Feminine & the Great Inversion 17:00 – Christopher's Core "Why" 18:00 – 2020, Lockdowns & Building Community in Buffalo 21:00 – Oto's Own 2020 Story: A Cop, a Mask & a Ticket 23:00 – Post-Jab Symptoms & Holding Space Without Judgment 26:00 – What Are the Gene Keys? 28:00 – Shadow, Gift & Siddhi: The Three Frequencies 30:00 – Your Gene Keys Profile as a Soul Blueprint 33:00 – Avoiding the Identity Trap 36:00 – The Great Solar Flash & the Birth of Human 6.0 39:00 – As Above, So Below: Humanity's Densifying/Awakening Split 41:00 – The Coming Timeline Bifurcation 44:00 – Building Sovereign Community Hubs 45:00 – Oto's Announcement: Building Alternative Digital Infrastructure 46:00 – Breathwork as Protection From Energetic Parasites 48:00 – Trauma, the Nervous System & Why We Stop Breathing Deeply 50:00 – Breathwork & Plant Medicine: Where They Overlap 55:00 – The Hijacking of Cannabis & Why Sourcing Matters 57:00 – Sound, Frequency & the Beats and Breath Method 1:00:00 – Beatboxing, Breath Capacity & a Video Break 1:02:00 – Recovering From the Jab: Fasting, Detox & Fundamentals 1:06:00 – The Power of Subtraction Over Addition 1:08:00 – Inside the Mastery Collective & Beats and Breath App 1:10:00 – A New Partnership Announcement 1:12:00 – Final Words: A Guided Breath to Close 1:14:00 – Closing & Where to Find ChristopherKey TakeawaysChristopher's near-death experience on the Zambezi River in 2014 — losing consciousness underwater and being resuscitated — became the foundation of his breathwork practice, which he describes as "being born again."The Gene Keys system, created by Richard Rudd, combines human design, astrology, and the I Ching into 64 archetypes, each with a shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequency, used as a framework for self-understanding.Christopher's rule of thumb with the Gene Keys: focus 90% of your energy on the gift, 10% on the shadow — the shadow is a gateway, not an identity to collapse into.He points to a prophecy tied to Gene Key 55 with three marker points — 1987, 2012, and 2027 — describing a gradual "mutation" tied to humanity's collective awakening.For recovery and general health, Christopher emphasizes fundamentals over complexity: breath, fasting, clean water, sunlight, and nervous-system regulation (shifting from sympathetic "fight or flight" into parasympathetic "rest and digest").He and Oto announced they'll be partnering to bring the Gene Keys/breathwork/somatic framework into Oto's academy.Learn More / ConnectChristopher August — https://christopheraugust.coCONNECT WITH OTO: Instagram – https://instagram.com/otogomes Website – https://otogomes.live(This episode touches on personal health decisions and detox practices; it's for educational and entertainment purposes only, not medical advice.)

Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING,  by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year.HEXAGRAM 33: RETREAT (Bill Mesnik)"Form is transitory, acquiescing in the flow"I'm yielding to the circumstances, being still and letting go,open to the transformation - going with the flow.I'm gone with the flow in the grip of the tideI don't know - nobody knows if I'll see you on the flip side.What we see ain't what we get, it's not under our control - the tide surges up, then leaves us flat in the midnight coaster rollWhat's the point in making scenes, or, inscribing your little name in stone,When the tide surges up and the beach is swept clean into endless, timeless unknown?I'm gone with the tide in the grip of the flow - Whether or not I'll be purifiedwell, I just don't know.HEXAGRAM 42: INCREASE (Bill Mesnik)"The time of increase does not endure, therefore it must be utilized while it lasts."One hand strengthens the other; on the other hand, I might fall.Could you lend a hand, my brother? I don't have much, but I could lose it all.I'll follow your instructions; you seem to know the way,I played right through the harvest, now my stores are empty at the dark of the day. I heard warnings about the future, but I turned the other way,music soothed my apprehension, and my passions held sway.Now I'm looking for a harbor, and I saw your firelight.Might I bide awhile in your cabin to pass away the dampening night?HEXAGRAM 13: WATCHING (Bill Mesnik)I'm watching - watching... letting things play out in timeAlthough I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.In the dawn - the anxious dawn... before the pulse of the day,Should it come to pass the shadows grip you, you may not be able to have a say. We are travelers - fond travelers sharing this path for a mile,Although I may want to protect you, we'll only be together a little while.So, I'm watching, watching... letting things play out in time.although I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.

Have you ever wondered why Yarrow, one of history's greatest healing herbs, appears in the witches' poison garden in Practical Magic? Join us as we dig into this fascinating contradiction and explore why Alice Hoffman may have chosen to include it.In this episode, we're uncovering the incredible story of Achillea millefolium, from its feathery leaves and resilient nature to its legendary reputation as the "warrior's herb." We'll trace its botanical origins, medicinal history, and ancient connections to Achilles, Neanderthal burials, Indigenous healing traditions, and even the divination practices of the I Ching.Then, we'll step into the magical side of yarrow. Discover its centuries-old associations with protection, love, prophecy, dream work, and witchcraft, along with practical ways you can incorporate this remarkable plant into your own magical practice.Whether you're a gardener, herbal enthusiast, folklore lover, or devoted Practical Magic fan, this episode reveals why yarrow has remained one of the world's most beloved magical herbs for thousands of years—and why its place in the Owens family's world may be far more meaningful than it first appears.SOCIALS:⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠QUIBEY SOURCESDISCLAIMER:The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

"In the fall of 2022, I saw the novelist Shelia Heti give a presentation on her conversations with early AI chatbots. Their names were Eliza, Alice, and George, and they had wild, undisciplined opinions about art, selfhood, and God. Talking to them seemed to come naturally to Sheila: for several years, she had been the interviews editors at The Believer and her novels Motherhood and Pure Colour featured narrators who ask difficult questions of non-human entities like the I Ching or a leaf on a tree. A few months after OpenAI released ChatGPT-5, Sheila and I spoke about the role of the interview at a time when human thought and feeling are impinged by artificial intelligence and whether machines can help us to unlock the mysteries of consciousness." — Merve EmreSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Special Announcement:  Cosmic Cousins Soul-Centered Astrology Certification. A Yearlong Immersion in Living Astrology with Jeff Hinshaw Learn to speak the language of the stars.  Join a year-long journey into Soul-Centered Astrology where you'll explore birth charts, planetary cycles, Tarot, embodiment, ritual, and the deeper myths woven through the cosmos. Whether you're beginning your astrology path or deepening your practice, this immersive program will help you build a lifelong relationship with the sky. Early bird rates available now. Now, on to this week's episode of Cosmic Cousins as we journey into the depths of the Cancer New Moon — a sacred invitation to slow down, return home, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body, heart, and emotional landscape. We explore the powerful astrology surrounding this lunation, including Jupiter's entrance into Leo, the Mercury Cazimi, Neptune retrograde in Aries, and the rare planetary basket formation weaving together Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter. Rather than rushing toward the next chapter, this New Moon reminds us that true transformation begins with rest, reflection, and nourishment. Together, we explore what it means to pause in the in-between spaces, honor the emotions we've carried, and prepare the soil for the creative expansion and collective evolution ahead. Then, we are joined by Seymour Fox, a Cancer Sun tarot reader, professor, and participant in this year's 22-week online Fool's Journey. Seymour shares their lifelong relationship with Tarot, beginning in their teenage years in California and evolving from a study of archetypes into a deeply intuitive and relational practice. Together, we explore the intersection of Tarot, queerness, academia, and spirituality, as Seymour reflects on creating space for all parts of themselves and integrating their professional and magical identities. Together we explore Cancerian themes of home, memory, devotion, grief, and emotional belonging, including how Tarot became a source of spiritual care during their late wife's illness and how loss transformed their relationship with the cards. Seymour shares their devotional Fool's Journey practice of creating altars for each Major Arcana card and how ritual immersion revealed that the archetypes are not just symbols to study, but living relationships that meet us through unexpected moments of transformation. We then close with a Cancer New Moon Whimsical Wanderings journey through childhood memories, the ocean, books, and the wisdom of the I Ching's image of “The Well”, a reminder that our inner waters are a source of nourishment, connection, and infinite renewal.   Cosmic Cousins Links Sedna Workshop Cosmic Mix Tape Newsletter Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Mix Tape Cosmic Cousins Substack Instagram Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III

Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING,  by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year. The result was the album "9 Hexagrams," three of which I offer here.#44 : RENDEZ-VOUS (HEAVEN OVER WIND) / “Persevere” (Bill Mesnik)It's a dangerous hour when darkness reappears,And a sudden shower of your fears drowns your dreams, chokes your screams,Persevere!Judge not, lest ye be judged, and lead me not Into temptation…Persevere!through the dangerous hour, when I've lost my willWhen my soul is sour, and hope is nilFind the will, Forge the will,Crawl uphill —Persevere!#35: ADVANCE (FIRE OVER EARTH) / “Desire” (Bill Mesnik)I want what's on the shelf,I kill myself…I pray upon my knees,I crave release.I'll change my point of view,Each day is new.The pull begins again,Desire has no end.I want your every part,I kill my heart.#24: RETURNING (EARTH OVER THUNDER) / “Echoes” (Bill Mesnik)Echoes are echoing from deep in the ground,Churning, turning all around,As far as I've come, I've come back around,I'm hearing the sound of echoes, echoing from under the ground.Shadows are shadowing from the room down the hall,Dancing, glancing off the wall.Every step that I take, I answer the call Of shadows shadowing in the room down the hall.Whispers, whispering from the waiting graveThrill me, will me to be brave,Each moment arrives in a rush like a wave,It's the rush that I craveAs whispers are whispering from the waiting grave.

The Army (Bill Mesnik)The war you wage is on yourself,The soul you save is not your own.The words you're saying were said beforeby your enemy.The code you honorhas no honor,and all your wisdom makes no sense;you seek for justicebut there's no justice from your enemy.Don't fight back-you will fail,Your best defense is modesty.The war you wage is on yourself -Your sword and shield is modesty.Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING,  by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year.The result was the album "9 Hexagrams," which I offer here.The first offering, "the Army" - which concerns advice on "leadership", was how the book responded to my question on the proper way to parent.

Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner doesn't do small talk. Fifty-one years in private practice. Forty-five thousand statistical cases. A PhD from Chicago that taught her the map is not the territory — especially when the territory is the human soul. She sat across from me and told me about the voice. 1974. Transcendental Meditation. A voice in her head that said: Go to Osho's ashram. She laughed at it. Called it woo-woo. She'd already seen enough fake gurus in her Jungian training — professors waxing poetic about numinous experiences who'd never had a single one. "Have you ever had one?" she asked them. Silence. That told her everything. But the voice persisted. She went to India. Alone. Single woman, 1978. A client handed her Osho's book at the gate — same birthday. Coincidence? She doesn't believe in them. She took sannyas. Got a new name: Madhava Asangaro. Divine inconsistency. Osho nailed her in one look. Then she met Marvin. Sitting next to her at a lecture. Same neighborhood in Pacific Palisades. Same circle of healers. Never met. He'd walked away from a chief-of-medicine gig because he couldn't stomach herd medicine. She set a boundary at dinner — he played games with the check, she walked. He chased her. Forty-eight years later, still chasing. Here's where it gets sharp. Ra Uru Hu, founder of Human Design, asked her to validate his system. She ran thirty thousand cases through the grinder. The result? "It's a faulty system. Incomplete. Erroneous. Disempowers people." Five types, not four. Projectors aren't here to wait for recognition — they're here to recognize themselves first. That's the difference between a cage and a compass. She built Noble Energy Maps instead. Eight charts. Starts three months before birth. The only system that treats the prenatal window as sacred architecture. Four worlds — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual — mapped from Kabbalah, I Ching, astrology, and the Tree of Life. Psychology has no language for soul, she says. Dreams are symbolic. The waking mind is sensory. Soul speaks in questions with no visual cues: What do you know now? What do you want? When? Her prescription is brutally simple: morning time with yourself. Gratitude journal with "because" statements — science backs it, cortisol drops, healing accelerates. If you won't give yourself time, why should anyone else? This episode isn't about feel-good spirituality. It's about the architecture of a life that works. The woman who walked into darkness and found light. The psychologist who tested the map against the territory and built a better one. Listen if you're done with borrowed wisdom. Listen if you want the blueprint.   Learn more today:  https://nobleenergywellness.com/

In this episode of Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, Jo explores the concept of the “Yang Edge”, the powerful energetic threshold where yang energy reaches its peak and the moment for action arrives. As June 2026 brings us close to the summer solstice, fire energy is at its strongest. This is a time of visibility, movement, courage and opportunity, especially for those who feel ready to step forward, share their knowledge, launch an idea, or become more visible in their work and life. Jo explains how this principle appears throughout Feng Shui, BaZi, Qi Men Dun Jia, Daoist philosophy and the I Ching, showing how timing, environment and personal action all interact through the trilogy of luck: Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Man Luck. You'll learn how to recognise the signs of standing at your own Yang Edge, from repeated opportunities and synchronicities to the feeling of excitement and fear arriving at the same time. Jo also shares practical Feng Shui guidance for June 2026, including which areas of the home may offer the most support for communication, creativity, grounding, prosperity and taking that next brave step. This episode is for anyone feeling the pull towards change, visibility or forward movement, but who may still be hesitating at the edge.   ______   For in-depth monthly horoscopes and other Feng Shui and Chinese astrology updates, subscribe to our Patreon: patreon.com/smashingsecrets For monthly Feng Shui advice subscribe to our newsletter through our website smashingsecrets.com Follow us on Instagram for weekly updates @smashingsecrets © 2026 Smashing Secrets.

In this subscriber-only episode of Living the Tao (1-185), Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod continues his study of the I Ching with Hexagram 46, Pushing Upward, and Hexagram 42, Increase. Both hexagrams point toward action, but they do not describe the same kind of movement. Pushing Upward is steady ascent: small efforts, proper support, and the presence of the “great person.” Increase is sudden opportunity: thunder, wind, favorable change, and the need to act before the moment passes. Master Steenrod examines the classic pronouncements, images, and line meanings of both hexagrams, while also challenging the modern idea that success is usually achieved alone. In the I Ching, ascent requires timing, support, preparation, and responsibility toward others.

Send us Fan MailThe moment you realize you can't “out-strategize” your nervous system is the moment everything changes. We sit down with thought leader, speaker, and former on-camera powerhouse Michelle Soro to talk about the deeper path that opens when visibility and achievement stop working the way they used to and a spiritual awakening demands honesty.Michelle shares what it felt like to fully wake up in August 2021, how that shock can register as trauma in the body, and why the following years became an unplanned retreat into truth: seeing the masks, the performance, and the patterns built around love, acceptance, and safety. From there, we dig into presence as something you can feel, not perform. When the agenda drops and the nervous system settles, leadership changes. We explore what “quiet leadership” looks like in real life, why impact matters more than big stages, and how reciprocity replaces hustle as the measure of aligned work.We also unpack Gene Keys in plain language: a contemplative system rooted in the I Ching and your birth data that maps an arc from shadow to gift to highest expression. The key insight is embodiment, which is why somatics, trauma-informed work, and attachment awareness matter so much for entrepreneurs, artists, and high achievers who tend to overcontrol and self-audit. Michelle closes with a mantra for hard days drawn from Wu Wei: “Easy is right.”Get to know Michelle Subscribe to The Heart of Show Business, share this with a friend who needs more ease, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.Support the showThanks for listening!

Dare To Dream with Debbi Dachinger Maja D'aoust, The Part of You You've Been Avoiding Is Actually Your Greatest Power What if the darkest parts of you aren't broken - they're just unfinished? Practicing witch, alchemist, and shadow work scholar Maja Daost joins Debbi Dachinger to reveal the truth about shadow integration that pop culture gets completely wrong. From dark archetypes like the cannibal mother and hubris to the hidden serpent power blocking humanity's access to its own source, Maja dismantles the watered-down version of shadow work and replaces it with something ancient, precise, and transformational. She also does a live card reading revealing the exact shadow preventing humanity from stepping into its power — and the antidote hiding in your reptilian brain. Your darkness isn't your enemy. It's your unfinished story. Topics: – The shocking truth about shadow self that pop culture gets wrong – What shadow really is: dark matter, death & the unconscious realm – Tools for shadow work: psychopomp, ancestors & underworld journeys – Dark archetypes vs. archetypes: the inversion that changes everything – The Shadow Seer Tarot: hands, cave art & the birth of a new deck – The cannibal mother, hubris & recognizing dark energies in your life – How to call someone out on shadow behavior without triggering defense – Synchronicity vs. omens: there's a crucial difference – Common shadow patterns destroying relationships & how to break them – LIVE card reading: what shadow is blocking humanity's power source – The serpent, the Nephilim & your reptilian brain as the antidote – First safe steps into shadow work without creating a crisis – Most transformative readings: healing disease & winning an election – Maja's next dream: rainbow light codes & color healing ABOUT THE GUEST: MAJA DAOST Maja Daoust is a practicing witch, scholar of alchemy and occult lore, transformational psychologist, and creator of the newly released Shadow Seer Tarot — published through Inner Traditions. With a master's degree in transformational psychology focusing on shamanism, the I Ching, and ancestral wisdom, Maja Daoust has spent over 20 years reading tarot and guiding clients through the hidden architecture of the psyche. Her work transpersonalizes the shadow, helping individuals and groups recognize dark archetypes, integrate unconscious patterns, and reclaim their original power source. She works as a live oracle, individual guide, and group facilitator — and deliberately stays off social media to protect client privacy and personal sovereignty.

The Witch Scholar unpacks shadow work, alchemy, and the unseen forces shaping your life

In this episode of the Redefine Business Podcast, host Brittni Schroeder sits down with Andie Thueson, a Human Design and Astrology guide and host of the Own Your Peace podcast, for a fascinating deep dive into self-discovery and aligned entrepreneurship. Andie shares her journey from health and wellness blogger to soul purpose coach, and breaks down how Human Design — a system combining astrology, the I Ching, and quantum physics — can serve as a personalized roadmap for life and business. She walks listeners through the five energy types (Reflector, Manifestor, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Generator), explains how each type is designed to move through the world differently, and introduces the concept of "authority" — your body's unique way of guiding decisions. Brittni and Andie also explore how astrology layers on top of Human Design, including how placements like the Midheaven can shape your brand voice and content strategy. The episode wraps with a candid conversation about why copying someone else's business strategy often backfires — and how understanding your own design can help you build a business that feels authentic, sustainable, and energizing. Whether you're new to Human Design or curious about how to apply it practically in your business, this episode is packed with insight, relatable moments, and actionable takeaways.

A profound and modern approach to playing the ancient board game• Offers a comprehensive guide to the traditional Hindu game gyān caupar—a predecessor to Snakes and Arrows—and includes a three-color gameboard allowing readers to play• Analyzes archetypes of consciousness with the 72 squares of gyān caupar, enriched by spiritual references to deepen the game's messages• Offers instruction for conducting personal development ceremonies and receiving guidance from the gameThe origins of Snakes and Arrows trace back to gyan caupar, or the “game of knowledge,” a spiritual board game from ancient India. Like other forms of divination, such as the I Ching and the Tarot, the game offers a playful yet profound approach to explore the self, the present, and the future as well as understand one's destiny.Polina Rud delves into the oracle, shedding light on gyan caupar's archetypal wisdom and its power as a divinatory tool. Using a 72-square gameboard, players are invited to step back and observe their lives from above, seeing the emotional and behavioral patterns that guide their steps and, at times, lead them astray. Rud shows how the 72 squares represent different levels of human experience. Each square provides a philosophical key while practical exercises reveal the hidden beliefs and obstacles that hinder progress in the area of life that matters most to the player. The game's ascending path mirrors spiritual evolution and guides players toward enlightenment, akin to systems like the Kabbalistic Tree of Life or the Road to Paradise. Rud shows how gyan caupar symbolizes the psyche's journey, leading toward the ultimate prize: cosmic consciousness.The Cosmic Game of Snakes and Arrows offers a way to learn more deeply about who you are while fostering a connection with the divine.Polina Rud is a writer and therapist with a diploma from UNAM in suicide prevention and psychosocial crisis intervention. She holds a master's degree in International Relations and is completing a PhD on artists who resist authoritarian regimes and challenge the status quo. As part of her research, she has worked closely with people processing trauma linked to political violence and social rupture.
