Podcasts about Initiation

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug decides to give a lesson on gardening tools, Jamie excuses some of Zuniga's questionable acting choices because she's 'probably never been under hypnosis before', and we really try and dig in on what exactly are the expectations for a day vs. night security guard. Do your best to distinguish dreams from memories, strap on your best pair of roller skates, and join us as we revisit the seemingly endless collection of 80s slashers as we discuss, The Initiation!The Initiation is a 1984 film directed by Larry Stewart & Peter Crane and starring Vera Miles, Clu Gulager, Daphne Zuniga, James Read, Marilyn Kagan, Robert Dowdell, Frances Peterson, Paula Knowles, Trey Stroud, Peter Malof, Christopher Bradley & Hunter TyloVisit our YouTube ChannelMerch on TeePublic Follow us on TwitterFollow on InstagramFind us on FacebookDoug's Schitt's Creek podcast, Schitt's & Giggles can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/schitts-and-giggles-a-schitts-creek-podcast/id1490637008

On this episode, I sit down with Dakota to unravel a chilling, drug-induced experience that went far beyond hallucination and into the realm of the supernatural. What began as an experimental night spiraled into a dark initiation ritual, complete with chanting, an unexplainable shift into another realm, and an encounter with a sinister goat-headed figure. As we dig into the events of that night, we uncover layers of spiritual manipulation, the lasting impact on Dakota and his brother, and how faith in Jesus Christ became the lifeline that pulled Dakota out of the darkness. This conversation is raw, gripping, and a sobering reminder of the unseen battle for our souls. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and this is part two of “The Great Work”.In Part 1, I described the multi-generational plans laid by the Deep State to consolidate power and control, in advance of the day they would reveal their methods on the “Great Political Smash”. We started with a discussion of the Fabian Socialists and the Deep State's method of gradualism. We then described Secrecy, Hierarchy, and the ruling society of the cabal, the Committee of 300. Next, we asked, does P head the Committee of 300?Part 2 begins with the sordid history of central banks, crisis initiation, organized crime, and war in America. We continue with how the Children of Light throw the Olympians into the abyss. We conclude Part 2 with a discussion on the Great Work and the Path of Initiation.Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

In this explosive episode of Nephilim Death Squad, David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobsta sit down with Premise — a Philly-based gold-certified music producer, writer, and truth seeker. With over 20 years in the industry, Premise exposes the dark spiritual underbelly of the music business: from satanic covens and ritual abuse, to hidden frequency manipulation and AI-driven “Voice of God” technology.The squad dives deep into how the entertainment industry serves as a battleground for powers and principalities, why music is more than just sound, and how ancient Babylonian rituals still echo in today's culture. They also explore the dangers of psychedelics, covert government weapons that mimic schizophrenia, and the role of Christ as the only true safeguard in a fallen world.Whether you're curious about the occult in hip hop, the inversion of spirituality in pop culture, or the reality of modern-day possession and ritual sacrifice, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about music, power, and the unseen war for human souls.

The Doers Nepal – Nepal's Longest Running Business Podcast Dileep Dhakal left behind a wonderful career in Silicon Valley and even a role at Apple to pursue a bold mission: to build Nepal's first truly global-scale product — Veel App. Why would someone leave Apple ? one of the world's most prestigious companies, to start from scratch in Nepal?

⚠️ Trigger Warning This episode includes a discussion of suicide and loss within the military community. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is struggling: Veterans & Service Members: Dial 988, then Press 1 (24/7 Veterans/Military Crisis Line) Text: 838255 (Veterans/Military Crisis Line) Chat: VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat Military OneSource (24/7 confidential support): 1-800-342-9647 | MilitaryOneSource.mil   You are not alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength.   Damon and Damo open with real life: parenting a clingy toddler while trying not to be the “threat dad.” He then walks through a packed few weeks—starting turnover, a Ceremonial Guard recruiting run at Great Lakes, and a whirlwind week working at the Guard. From there the fellas pivot to military news and leadership shifts: the 12-hour fire aboard USS New Orleans; Fleet Master Chief John Perryman's selection as the 17th MCPON and how alignment with the boss accelerates trust; a string of high-level shakeups (Air Force Chief Gen. David Allvin's retirement; VADM Nancy Lacore and RADM Jamie Sands relieved; USNA's change of command to LtGen Michael Borgschulte); and a look at the Fort Stewart workplace shooting response. They sit with harder headlines too: the reported suicide of recruit Kayshawn Wilkerson at Great Lakes and the loss of Aviation Boatswain's Jose Antonio Rivera Lynch IV during operations in the Timor Sea. Closer to home, they clock the National Guard presence in D.C., react to the phrase “last rank in which he served honorably,” and note USMC LtCol (ret.) Stuart Scheller's new role. Inside the Mess, Damo flags that MCPON has added “Get Real, Get Better” training into CPO Initiation—and asks if the culture shift is actually landing. The guys respond to a few listeners: do reenlistments still mean something or are we just signing paper; advice for clashing peers; why folks ghost in TAP; “have you ever taken your blouse off to drive home;” and young Sailors in race cars. In the Chief's Initiation (no longer Season) block, they talk non-select morale, the low numbers this year, and where leaders must step up for those who didn't pin—plus the moment you were when you got the call. The “Do Better” segment (Damon on clips; Damo on Chiefs in housing). These topics and more are covered in this episode.       To have your “Do Better” reviewed on a future episode, please get in touch with us at ptsfpodcast@gmail.com       Keep up with the ‘Permission to Speak Freely' podcast  on our social media and YouTube - https://linktr.ee/Ptsfpodcast       Additional Credits: Soundbite from It Is What It Is featuring Cam'ron and Ma$e, used for illustrative purposes in explaining the “pause” game.

This week on the show, I'm sharing my recent journey of initiation into the spiritual tradition of the Bwiti in Gabon, Africa.What is the Bwiti?Why Gabon?
Why did I choose to do this—and what did I gain from it?All of these questions (and more) are answered in this episode. For 17 days, I stayed in village and underwent three initiatory ceremonies into the Bwiti tradition. Out of respect, many details remain held in my heart, but here I'll paint the picture: the wisdom and lessons, the trials and tribulations, and the otherworldly moments in between.Some Highlights:- Lessons in community, passion, and living fully in the moment from my time with the Gabonese people- Reflections on what is truly worthy of being held as precious in my life and spirituality- Wisdom from my big iboga initiation ceremony, and how it has inspired me to move forward in my life- A pivotal moment of choice: to descend into darkness, or to reclaim my source of radianceThis episode is both a glimpse into a sacred path and an invitation to reflect on your own journey of growth, resilience, and radiance.If you'd like to connect with me, you can contact me here:Instagram-@schoolofwhispers @__steef___ email-schoolofwhispers@gmail.com If you would like to schedule an acupuncture appointment with me at my current clinic, Balance Point Acupuncture, you can either visit ⁠⁠www.balancepointacu.com⁠ ⁠or call 561-615-4535 to schedule your appointment todayDISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

On the eve of the Virgo New Moon, astrological counselor and sister Substacker Danielle Polgar and I explored the possibilities of this time together on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. Some of our favorite topics are the unpredictable energy of Uranus in Gemini and the shadows we are seeing of Pluto's journey through Aquarius. We also covered a number of fun and interesting themes:* The “whirlpool effect” of the Lunar Nodes in our consciousness;* The power of building parallel structures rather than participating in mainstream narratives;* The fallacy of staying informed to stay in control;* And the power of living in the unknown.The New Moon squares Uranus, bringing the likelihood of surprises and breakthroughs, and leading us into eclipse season. Curiosity and wonder are superpowers for thriving in this time.Danielle will soon be offering an 8 week Initiation course; subscribe to her publication to be the first to know about it.

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, psychotherapist and author Vanessa Bennett returns to discuss her groundbreaking new book The Motherhood Myth. She pulls back the curtain on the cultural systems shaping how women experience motherhood, intimacy, rage, and identity—and why so many moms feel like they're failing even when they're doing everything “right.” Vanessa shares how Western models of parenting, isolation within the nuclear family, and myths rooted in patriarchy contribute to burnout, disconnection, and shame. She also offers a new vision for communal care, initiation rituals, and reclaiming motherhood as a transformative journey instead of a burden.

I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and this two-part series on “The Great Work” continues episode 87 and my conversation with John Coffey.In the Great Work, I describe the multi-generational plans laid by the Deep State to consolidate power and control, in advance of the day they would reveal their methods on the “Great Political Smash”. We start with a discussion of the Fabian Socialists and the Deep State's method of gradualism. We then describe Secrecy, Hierarchy, and the ruling society of the cabal, the Committee of 300. Next, we ask, does P head the Committee of 300?In Part 2, we begin with the sordid history of central banks, crisis initiation, organized crime, and war in America. We continue with how the Children of Light throw the Olympians into the abyss. We conclude Part 2 with a discussion on the Great Work and the Path of Initiation.Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

When Robbie Earle left Port Vale for Wimbledon in 1991, he knew he was joining a cast of characters. John Fashanu, Vinnie Jones, Jason Euelle, Andy Clarke, Efan Ekoku and many more major personalities came together to make the ‘90s Dons one of the more charismatic sides in Premier League history.They welcomed Earle to the crew as only they could: By stripping him naked during a team run through a public park and leaving him with just a traffic cone “to cover the most embarrassing bits.”He quickly accepted the price of initiation into the Crazy Gang and enjoyed a nine-year stint in the English top flight with the Dons. He made 244 appearances and scored 59 goals from midfield. Nowadays, you can find him on your TV here in the States pretty much every weekend. That includes this one, because the Premier League kicks off later today on NBC Sports and Peacock.Robbie first came by The Football Weekend ahead of a spring 2024 title clash between Manchester City and Arsenal, and he returned to preview Championship Sunday later that season.

John Lendall's life spiraled before it ever had a chance to begin. Growing up in Massachusetts with parents addicted to drugs, John dropped out of high school as a freshman and ended up in juvenile detention twice before turning 18. By 19, he was hooked on pills and chasing his next high — until one night, a robbery for drugs turned deadly. Charged with murder and facing 18–20 years, John took a plea deal and cooperated with authorities. He spent 12 years behind bars. In this interview, John shares what really happened that night, what prison taught him, and how he's trying to rebuild a life after a childhood of chaos and a past he can't undo. #TrueCrime #PrisonStory #AddictionRecovery #JuvenileJustice #MurderCase #LockedInWithIanBick #CrimePodcast #FromPrisonToRedemption Connect with John Lendall: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workingmandistillers/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kobythedistillerydog/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/john.lendall.2025 Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 John Lendle's Troubled Past and Prison Sentence 00:04:36 Childhood Exposure to Illegal Activities 00:09:50 Impact of Gang Presence on School Life 00:15:11 Life in Juvenile Detention 00:20:09 Unconventional Journey Home 00:25:22 Journey into Drug Addiction 00:31:09 Initiation into Armed Robbery 00:37:01 The Gunshot Incident and Its Aftermath 00:42:40 Arrest and Confession: A Turning Point 00:48:01 Legal Challenges and Sentencing 00:54:19 Struggles with Addiction and Recovery in Prison 00:59:02 Navigating Prison Life and Social Dynamics 01:04:15 Journey of Self-Forgiveness and Reflection 01:09:24 Evolution of Communication: Texting to Facetiming 01:14:29 Juggling Multiple Jobs: A Personal Journey 01:19:35 The Impact of Rescuing Dogs as Pets 01:24:18 Final Thoughts and Farewell Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's show, Lian is joined by Nicholas Breeze Wood. Nicholas has practiced shamanism for over 40 years, combining it with the 'earthier' end of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as with 'medicine' teachings from Native North American peoples. He has worked with many gifted medicine people and shamans over the years, and is deeply apprenticed to his own spirit helpers, whose teachings never fail to awe and surprise him. Nick's shamanism is a fusion of traditional Himalayan and Mongolian forms, combined with teachings from his own spirits. He works especially deeply with ritual objects - such as bronze shaman's mirrors, phurba daggers and many other Mongolian and Tibetan shamanic and Buddhist ritual objects - for which he holds traditional teachings and, where required, traditional initiations. Despite being a ‘rather uneducated Buddhist,' he is an ordained Tibetan Buddhist lama, a type called a ngakpa, whose role is similar to a shaman's. Ngakpas are non-monastic, non-celebrate lamas who live in the community, specialising in ritual and magic for people within their community. Nick is the editor of Sacred Hoop Magazine - a leading international magazine about shamanism - which has been published since 1993. He is also a musician and artist. He is the author of several books including, 'Walking with the Tiger,' 'Sacred Drums of Siberia,' 'A Little Book of Revealing,' 'Voices From The Earth,' 'The Book of the Shaman,' 'The Shaman Box,' and 'The Resplendent Other'. He runs the large Facebook group 3Worlds Shamanism, has done a podcast called the 3Worlds shamanism podcast on and off since 2006 and also has a somewhat neglected YouTube channel, also called 3Worlds Shamanism. In this episode, Lian and Nicholas explore what it means to walk the path of shamanism in the modern West. Together, they trace the winding threads of Nicholas' life… from the windswept fields of his Midlands childhood to the birth of Sacred Hoop magazine, through encounters with medicine wheel teachings, Mongolian and Himalayan shamans, and the long shadow of Castaneda. What unfolds is not a how-to or a prescription… but a living braid of animism, discipline, and devotion. Nicholas reflects on the unexpected gift of dyslexia and how neurodivergence shaped his initiatory path, as a different kind of perception… one that enabled a direct, embodied relationship with the unseen. He and Lian explore the tension between psychotherapeutic frameworks and authentic shamanic practice, and the danger of mistaking surface form for deep structure. What makes a shaman, he says, is not sensitivity or interest, but being chosen by the spirits themselves. Woven through the conversation is the question of lineage. What does it mean to carry teachings from other lands onto this one? How do we honour both the transmission and the soil we stand upon? From the cosmology of the medicine wheel to the pitfalls of cultural appropriation, from core shamanism to the necessity of cosmological bone… this episode offers a rare encounter with an elder who has walked the shamanic path for many decades. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Why the word “shaman” is often misused… and how understanding deep structure versus surface form can clarify what is truly sacred. How neurodivergence can shape perception in ways that become part of our gift, especially when navigating the unseen or the unknown. What it might mean to birth a Western lineage… one rooted not in imitation, but in integration, initiation, and real relationship with land and spirit.

Clary Sage and its powerful essential oil supports euphoria, sensuality, womanhood and cyclical wisdom. How's that for a bold statement about an essential oil?A different title for this episode could be: "Exploring Clary Sage through molecules, music, and the slow fire of feminine truth."This episode explores Clary Sage's bold personality—earthy, euphoric, and sensual—through its aromatic molecules, story and synesthetic sound. Featuring @olfactorysounds' musical interpretation, you're invited to experience this aromatic beyond the textbook. What does Clary Sage feel like? What does empowered stillness sound like? What can we do, globally, to honor and respect half of the human population?Join me in this refection on menstruation, moon days, and honoring natural cycles rather than overriding them. Clary Sage is a guide for tuning into body-time, sensual energy—an aromatic ally reminding us that womanhood is not a set of fragmented roles, but a full, embodied rhythm. Lunar cycles are sacred. Sensuality is wise. Initiation rites matter. Lilith meets Hekate. Medusa and Athena become one. These archetypes don't compete—they merge, whole and wild, ready to rewrite the narrative. We remember: womanhood cries out in pain when it is not respected. Supported womanhood is rhythmic, sensual and discerning. Grounded and luminous. It is something to work with, not against.Get your bottle of Clary Sage essential oil and settle in, breathe deep, and join me. To smell is to feel—to remember, not only memories, but the body's holistic wisdom.Video of Clary Sage Distillation: Plant Talk Video Series - NYC AromaticaInstagram: Yuliana@olfactorysounds & and Amy @nycaromaticaEpisode Highlights:~8:40 -- Yuliana's Olfactory Sound Composition.~17:48 -- "Humans are human.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm joined once again by author and esoteric scholar Peter Mark Adams, whose newest work - Ritual and Epiphany in the Mysteries of Mithras: The Secret Cult of Saturn in Imperial Rome - offers a profound look into one of the most enigmatic mystery traditions of the ancient world.We explore the sacred cosmology of Mithras, the structure and symbolism of the cult's initiatory grades, and how these rites relate to the broader lineage of Orphic and Platonic spirituality. Along the way, we discuss ritual space, visionary experiences, and how these ancient practices can inform and aid seekers and practitioners today.Please note: Later in the episode, we also touch on topics such as entheogens, intense ritual work, and transformational spiritual practices.

Recipe Card (can be a visual of an actual recipe card for blog or content on website)   Preparation: Take stock of your current situation to know where you began. 1 Full cup of gratitude 2 hours of meditation 6 spoonfuls of daily practices (x2) A hearty handful of boundaries A sprinkling of laughter Stir Clockwise while smiling and holding a vision of living a life you enjoy.   Repeat for no less than 10 weeks, then revisit your current state, your vision, and account for progress. Celebrate your accomplishments and continue until you allow purpose to set in.    **********   Making a recipe card like this might sound kind of funny for something as ephemeral as Joy or living a Joyful Life.  But what if Joy wasn't something elusive? Most of us chasing Joy think of it like the wings of a butterfly.  Something beautiful that you cannot touch. And like those wings, if you do touch them, they are destroyed.   What if it was something you could actually touch and not only feel its tangibility- but build beneath you like the firm foundation of a house?  I'm here to tell you that you can, and the recipe is quite available to you with a little bit of commitment to the discipline of the practice of know thyself.  First to my butterfly wing analogy, the reason many people think Joy and enjoyment are elusive, and that experiencing joy (like touching butterfly wings) destroys it, is because most people are chasing Happiness.  Happiness is an external fleeting thing that depends on factors outside ourselves.  And the other side of the Happiness coin is sadness.  Take, for example, you place all your expectations for happiness on a relationship with a significant other.  And you are in that relationship and everything is all perfect in your life because someone loves you and accepts you and wants to do things with you.  This is Happiness you say.  Then one day that person says I'm leaving, or that person dies, or that person changes because of some factor outside of your control and the relationship ends.   Now you are sad.  You are sadder than you ever were before the relationship because for awhile you had The Thing you thought made you happy.  And in a way you are right.  You touched the butterfly's wings and it couldn't fly anymore, and it died.  Now you have no more feeling of Happy - you have the memory of it, the longing for it.  But you no longer have it so that attachment to this past state of Happy you lost now makes you Sad because it is draining your today (like a leak in a boat).     I watch this play out with my partner every time he speaks of his past fiance who left him because he stopped fulfilling her narcissist needs.  He has this attachment to that belief in that with her, when he was in the peak of his health, in the peak of this happiness having all these activities with this other built purely on external circumstances that He was Happy.  And maybe he was Happy.  For a moment, because he bought her the right ring, he took her to dance in the right place, he provided everything she needed so that she could get on her feet, save for a house, make a down payment and leave him when she didn't need him anymore.  And then his Happy came crashing down, when the lie was revealed and she left him because his usefulness to her ended - putting him in a pit of depression that caused him to harm himself with alcohol and other choices due to the severe sadness felt after the high of Happy.     Now today, he isn't in that depression anymore, we are in a healthy relationship of exchange co-creating together, but I can still see that attachment to a past version of himself when he believes he was Happy.  Because in that past he had health (and no liver disease) and he had for this brief moment some combination of external factors (fleeting as they were) that made everything “Perfect.”  So now, this attachment to a past version of himself when he was quote/unquote Happy inhibits his ability to fully experience his present moment and the amazing life he and I are creating.  He is working on it, and acknowledges his attachment challenges, and having physical limitations is a real obstacle,- which is why finding our inner source of Joy (and thus resilience) is so essential.    Ok, let's talk about Joy again and how it is different from Happiness.   Joy is not ephemeral and intangible.  Further, Joy is not Happiness.  Happiness is external and its opposite is Sadness.  So the happier you are, when the source of that happiness leaves you the sadder you get.  It is cause and effect and the hermetic principle of rhythm.  One extreme always swings back to the other like a teeter totter or those sets of silver balls that click on your desk.   Joy is built in your life from within and is not dependent on external factors.    My recipe card is not facetious. It is true.  Just like laying a foundation and building something - you go through a specific set of actions consistently with commitment to yourself for the sake of yourself, and you can build a joyful life and create a tangible indestructible foundation of joy in your life such that when something awful happens you have the resilience and fortitude and unshakable joy in your life that you will recover and likely thrive in spite of the awful thing versus being thrown in a pit of despair and sadness.    So let's walk through this recipe.    Gratitude - One Full cup of gratitude. “Thank you for everything you have given me, everything taken away, and everything I have left.”  Gratitude is cultivated by practice but it bears the best possible fruit.  Scientific studies show that it rewires your brain creating new neural pathways such that it shifts your perspective.  Story after story shows people not only surviving awful situations but thriving through them because they have gratitude.   So you MUST have a gratitude practice to create a joyful life.   Meditation - clearing the mind and connecting to source. We must clear away monkey mind so that we can know who we are and what we actually want free from the trappings of all the shoulds and programming of the collective consciousness.    Meditation is a learned practice as well, and there are so many methods - active, passive, moving, silent - they ALL HELP.  Every single one of them.  The key is you must do it. Study after study shows meditation as a game changer in anyone's life who applies themself to it.  Same as gratitude it creates new pathways in the brain that allow stillness and new ways of perceiving and being which all equal new thought patterns and ways to access our joy.  The recommended daily allotment of Meditation is two hours a day.  But commitment to a meditation practice, even if a few minutes a day is an essential element to a Joyful life.  6 Daily Practices - I call these Rituals that help you learn how to manage your own personal will and power.  Your will to not be pushed and pulled by the forces external to you for good or ill.   In my practice as a Guide in the Lineage of King Salomon with the Modern Mystery School International we teach Spirituality as a science.  When you take the Empower Thyself Class & choose the path of Initiation we give you six daily practices to complete every morning and evening that combined with meditation will provide you the means to strengthen your will and thus understand how you are choosing or not choosing (i.e. exercising your will) in this life and how that is adding up to the fruits of what you see around you. For me the six daily simple practices gave me the means to understand how much of other people's stuff I was taking on as my own.  I learned by doing the daily practices that I didn't need to take on these things as my own.  So I was able to energetically learn how to hold my boundaries without guilt or shame so I was able to let go of so much that was not serving me and start to consciously choose things that bring in more enjoyment to my life. It empowered me to no longer be a victim of my subconscious (i.e. to get out of my own way).  Boundaries - which brought me a hearty helping of boundaries.  Initially, like everything else I'm talking about here had to be practiced until they became real and more natural for me to set.   Boundaries take will. They take the desire to set them.  They take an acknowledgement and a discernment that we do not have to engage with the drama others put in front of us on giant platters.   Boundaries take an acknowledgement that even though we can do it, it doesn't mean we should.   Boundaries are not walls that block everyone out.  But they are an acknowledgment that you do not have to take on the thoughts or ideas of others or do everything that they want you to do.  One can start by putting boundaries on your time.  Time blocking for meditation, for exercise, for fun time, for family time.  These are something you can fake until you make them because practicing will give you the results to realize you can.  And the first time you set a boundary it will feel weird and uncomfortable, but it will result in something freeing, releasing you of the other things pulling on your energy.  Laughter is a practice that brings lightness to your life.  It truly is the best medicine. So find ways to laugh at the world, ourselves, together and with others.   Laughter has always been a natural instinct of mine and I've been lucky enough to surround myself with those who have phenomenal senses of humor.  But also my teachers I have chosen Know laughter is an essential practice for a joyful life.  So they purposefully add it as a tool to their teaching style because of the light it generates from within a human being.   So, actively seek laughter. And practice laughter.  Especially if times are tough.     Clockwise to stir it all together.    Clockwise is the energy of building.  So I say always work your magick by stirring in a clockwise direction.  This makes for great recipes in the kitchen as well!  Blend all of these practices together holding a vision for what you want to have more of, or what you want to experience.    Visual to pick a direction.  If you do not know where you are going you are never going to get there.  If you are always running away you are never going toward anything.  And you have to pick and visualize a destination to get there.   So, an essential element of having a joyful life is visualizing some aspects of what that enjoyable life looks like.  So you can actually start moving towards creating that.  What are some things/aspects/characteristics of that life that you can start taking action toward by using all the other tools I just discussed? And eventually after practicing all of the above in sets of 10 weeks or 3 months you are going to find yourself feeling not only joyful but purposeful.  Last but not least in my recipe I note to Prepare by taking stock of your current state.  This will allow you to know your progress when you make it.  Which you will.  For the six daily rituals and practices that help you build your will and to Know Thyself as the divine powerful being that you are you can access these by receiving the life activation and participating in the Empower Thyself Class & Initiation.  If you are local to me visit my website calendar on angellatterell.com  to see my next offering or call or email me to set up an appointment to chat about them further.  If you are not local to me, do the same and I will connect you to a guide in your area who can work with you.   Meanwhile, anyone can practice gratitude with paper and pen and start a meditation practice.  I have tools for both including a workbook and frequent Wednesday evening meditations online that are completely free.  If you want help with anything - I can help with that!  Reach out anytime and let's get you moving forward to create your recipe for a joyful life!

So, wherever you go wearing neck beads, you're sure to find someone in a remote area who unexpectedly says, 'Haribol!' And that's a good thing, because it will remind you that, 'Yes, I'm on a mission here, and I'm representing the Śrī Guru Parmparā. It's a point of high distinction, although we take it very humbly that we're able to display ourselves as Vaiṣṇavas, as the first stage of initiation. It's a process, not an event.' That's tapa, which means you turn away from the material world, realizing that this is not the purpose of my life—to try to settle here or to enjoy—but to serve.

Does this sound familiar? Your partner asks you to take control in the bedroom… and your brain completely short-circuits. You freeze. You feel awkward. You suddenly have no idea what to do. If you've ever found yourself defaulting to passivity during intimacy—or if the idea of “being in control” feels totally foreign—you're so not alone. In today's episode, we're asking the question: Are you letting sx happen to you… or are you a active participant during it? We're also talking about this from a male perspective: What does it feel like to be the only one initiating or guiding? Do men want their partners more engaged—and what does that even look like? Whether you've never taken the lead before, or you're just looking to feel more empowered and participatory, this episode is your permission slip—and your how-to guide. Let's get into it.

This one's for you who's longing to be known.

How do we create a space where people feel safe to be known — not only when we win, but also when we ache?Through wisdom and practical encouragement, Rachel, Kerri, and Susan invite us to go first — in vulnerability, in confession, in reaching out, in showing up. They discuss the power of presence, the courage it takes to initiate, and why we don't have to have it all together to start forming or maintaining our meaningful relationships. For the woman longing for deeper friendship but unsure where to begin, this episode is filled with grace and guidance for taking that first brave step.Whether you're flourishing in community or feeling forgotten on the sidelines, you'll leave this conversation reminded that you're not alone.

We continue our examination of the Sacrament of Baptism, specifically how we celebrate the sacrament and the different elements that must always be present in Baptism. Fr. Mike emphasizes that while infant Baptism has become the “form in which this sacrament is usually celebrated,” post-baptismal formation and instruction is necessary in order for the full flowering of the graces received in the Sacrament of Baptism.
