Saint Charbel (1828–1898) was a Lebanese monk and mystic who wrote nothing about his encounters with God, yet his life of radical solitude, fasting, prayer, and silence reveals a profound mystical path. Known as the “second St. Anthony of the Desert,” Charbel embraced an extreme asceticism that drew him deeper into communion with God. From his extreme asceticism to the extraordinary phenomena and tens of thousands of miracles attributed to him after death, his remarkable story offers a rare glimpse into the world of Christian mysticism and radical holiness.If you would like to order a copy of Dr. Carlos Eire's latest book, "They Flew: A History of the Impossible," you can order a copy HERE (Yale University Press) or HERE (Amazon).

In this podcast we will be talking about 7 Ways To Enjoy the Flow of Your Life from the philosophy of Rumi. Rumi lived from 1207 to 1273 and he was not only an amazing poet, but also a theologian, a philosopher, an Islamic scholar, and one of the most prominent figures in Sufism. So here are 7 Ways To Enjoy the Flow of Your Life from the philosophy of Rumi-  01. Let Go of the False Ego02. Trust the Divine03. Chase the Essence, Not the Form04. Become the "Child of the Moment"05. Welcome every Guest 06. Act With Devotion07. Get Into the Flow StateWe hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope this podcast, from the philosophy of Rumi, helps you to enjoy the flow of your life.Sufism began some 9 centuries ago and is focused on reaching the divine - the power that created the skies, the earth, us and life as a whole, through love. It means that in Sufism, we human beings are lovers, the divine is beloved and to love the divine, we need to connect back to the essence of life and understand that we and the world are one. Sufism has given the world some of its brightest minds and poets and one of those people is known as Maulana, Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, arguably the best Sufi poet in history. Rumi, a Persian scholar at first, then a Mystic, has written many illustrious poems depicting love and its central role as the bridge to reach the divine; poems that are engraved in the literature books for eternity. His brilliance caught the eyes of people since his childhood. His father, a famous scholar back then, had personally taken the responsibility of teaching him. He deepened his knowledge at a very young age and after the death of his father, he was destined to succeed him as a scholar. But Rumi wanted to learn more, so he connected with another brilliant teacher named Al Tarmithi and a few years later, his teacher left him because he considered that he had nothing left to teach his student, Rumi was now a complete scholar. Rumi was adored by his followers and when he held assemblies, he had a large crowd as attendees. However, life and the divine had other plans for him. In 1244, Rumi encountered Shams Tabrizi, a traveling Sufi dervish who changed his core understanding of life. Rumi became so fond of Shams that he neglected his students and his family and spent days and nights with him, all to grasp the essence of pure love and how to express it to reach the divine. Rumi turned from a Scholar to a Sufi poet who sang for love, danced in circles, which is now called Sufi whirling or the whirling dervish, and wrote poems that are still relevant today continuing to have a deep influence.

"The Gift of Timelessness” Welcome to a profound exploration of the mind with David Hoffmeister. In this transformative session, originally recorded on July 18, 2026, David takes listeners on a deep dive designed to dislodge the sleeping mind from the illusion of linear time and the dream of duality.   Drawing on the deep teachings of A Course in Miracles, this episode explores how our perception of the past, present, and future is merely a construct of the ego. Through the lens of a mind-bending cinematic story where timelines fracture and reality is called into question, David illustrates that the world of time and space is a fantasy designed to obscure our true eternal nature. Listeners are guided to confront deep ontological questions, unpack the metaphysical relationship between cause and effect, and embrace the ultimate healing power of true forgiveness.   Tune in to discover how to escape the hypnotic mesmerism of the world, surrender the painful defense mechanisms of the ego, and awaken to the joyous reality that you are pure Spirit—completely innocent, perfect, and eternally free.   "The Way" gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

In this episode of SolFul Connections, Amanda connectswith contemporary mystic and spiritual teacher Vishrant, a man whose life defiesconvention.He built extraordinary business success at a young age,survived 18 hours lost at sea in a near-death experience, gave away his businesses, and spent four years walking barefoot across Australia in search of his heart.This wasn't just another conversation; it was, at times, a mind-bending one.Whether you find yourself captivated by Vishrant's remarkable story or challenged by his perspective on happiness, surrender, and unconditional love, this episode offers something deeper than answers. It invites reflection.As you listen, notice what resonates, what surprises you,and what stirs within you. Perhaps Vishrant's words aren't meant to convince you of anything at all, but to serve as a mirror, helping you examine your own choices, motivations, fears, and definition of a meaningful life.Sometimes the most transformative conversations don'ttell us what to think. They simply invite us to see ourselves more clearly.More about Vishrant: vishrant.orgSocial links:https://youtube.com/@vishranthttps://www.instagram.com/vishrantpremhttps://www.facebook.com/vishrantpremhttps://www.tiktok.com/@vishrantprem

Have you ever wondered what it means to live as a practical mystic?In this enlightening episode of the Daughters of the Moon Podcast, we welcome Angela Orora, an intuitive channel, spiritual teacher, and author who has been connected to the spiritual realms since childhood. Angela shares her remarkable journey of working with the Archangels, her primary guide St. Germain, and how she channels wisdom that becomes books, healing systems, and transformational teachings.Together we explore the profound spiritual connections available to all of us and how developing a relationship with our guides can open the door to greater wisdom, healing, and purpose.In this episode we discuss:✨ Growing up as a lifelong intuitive and channel

Paul Krauss, MA, LPC, and world-renowned EMDR pioneer Dr. Laurel Parnell discuss how all mental health treatments as well as trauma treatment can be both more effective and more accessible. Together they explore the power of EMDR therapy, the research and early skepticism surrounding it, and how EMDR interfaces with other healing modalities around the world to accelerate perspective shifts, open the heart, and support deep inner alignment. The discussion also highlights how EMDR therapy does not erase memories but helps the nervous system clear the emotional residue of triggers so that experiences move from psychological, self-defining memory into objective memory, allowing people to reclaim their natural gifts, energetic sovereignty, and a life not limited by past trauma In this episode, Dr. Parnell and Paul discuss how EMDR therapy can help people change more quickly by integrating fragmented traumatic material, creating new pathways for healing, and supporting clients to feel both safer and more free in their bodies and relationships. They delve into the nuances of psychological versus objective memory consolidation, the importance of inner resources and inner alignment, and how EMDR can be combined with transpersonal psychotherapy to invite experiences of connection, meaning, and spiritual opening. Drawing from Dr. Parnell's own journey, including the tragic loss of her son, they examine the limits of conventional trauma treatment and the emergence of Multidimensional Integrative Healing (MDIH) as a way to work across physical, emotional, psychological, somatic, and spiritual realms in service of post-traumatic growth rather than mere symptom reduction. The conversation further explores how clinicians can safely integrate transpersonal psychology, energetic traditions, and Eastern spiritual practices within a grounded therapeutic frame, including working with phenomena such as shamanic experiences and releasing unwanted energetic attachments. Also, they discuss how to work with people from all spiritual orientations, including multiple faiths, agnostics, and atheist clients. Dr. Parnell describes clinical steps for helping clients identify what energies are truly theirs, release what is not, and stand in their own power, guided by an innate healing intelligence that moves toward wholeness when properly supported. Ultimately, she emphasizes that the goal of EMDR and MDIH is not simply desensitizing trauma, but helping clients reclaim the radiant presence of their True Nature so they can live more authentically, creatively, and compassionately in the world. Dr. Laurel Parnell is an internationally recognized clinical psychologist, EMDR trainer, and leading expert on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, best known for developing Attachment-Focused EMDR and Resource Tapping. She has trained thousands of clinicians nationally and internationally, has taught transpersonal psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and John F. Kennedy University, and continues to offer EMDR trainings and Multidimensional Integrative Healing programs through institutions such as Alliant International University, Omega Institute, Esalen Institute, and the Parnell Institute Dr. Parenell's Releasing What Isn't Yours, expands on her Multidimensional Integrative Healing framework and the clinical process of helping clients recognize and let go of energies and burdens that do not belong to them, reclaim their energetic sovereignty, and reconnect with their True Nature.

Should a Leader Empower You or Validate You? The Missing Skill: Mastering Autonomous Self-Regulation.Are the mentors, coaches, and spiritual leaders you follow actually expanding your capacity for personal autonomy, or are they keeping you hooked on a loop of emotional reassurance alone? In this episode, we dive deep into a critical blind spot that can take place in the personal growth, coaching, and spiritual leadership industries: the profound difference between true biological empowerment and external validation for soothing—while also pointing out grounded-in-reality, practical solutions for behavioral growth and emotional maturing.When we rely on a purely emotional validating system, it acts as a temporary emotional band-aid that doesn't strengthen your window of tolerance or lead to personal or spiritual growth. True leadership and self-sovereignty require building autonomous self-regulating nervous system capacity, also known as restorative embodiment and resilience. By bridging evolutionary cognitive science—like the Yale Baby Study—with spiritual perspectives and mystic soul age group knowledge, we look at the missing leadership skill of Autonomous Self-Regulation by some personal growth and spiritual ascension figures in the field.We talk about discerning affective realism and narrative distortions, moving out of codependent growth containers, and applying a practical somatic-mindset strategy using Level 1 and Level 2 Micro-Habit protocols to stabilize your system from a place of absolute structural wholeness and pursue your self-led personal growth and spiritual ascension.

A common misunderstanding in personal development and spiritual growth is that you can simply think or meditate your way out of a deep physiological trigger. We have all been told to practice positive thinking or to reframe our thoughts when stress hits. But if you are trying to maintain leadership composure using mindset tricks alone while your body is caught in a survival loop, this won't work.When a high-pressure moment activates past events, deep emotions, or core wounds, your autonomic nervous system defaults to protective survival modes. You might find yourself hiding, blocking others out, falling into repetitive sentence loops, or over-compensating. In these moments, logic fails because the brain cannot process cognitive reframes when the body feels fundamentally unsafe.To bridge this gap, I guide and equip self-led individuals and conscious leaders with an integrated methodology: Somatic-Mindset Micro-Habits.The Architecture of the Double LoopA somatic-mindset micro-habit is a body-to-mind practice designed to simultaneously down-regulate physical nervous system activation and disrupt reactive narrative loops. Unlike one-dimensional methods that only address the mind or only address the physical body, this approach closes the loop. It pairs physical body anchoring with conscious cognitive reframing to restore immediate internal composure and anchor long-term self-sovereignty.However, implementing these practices effectively is not a matter of pure discipline. It depends entirely on a vital criterion: your current nervous system regulation capacity and window of tolerance. Because our bodies experience different levels of intensity, these micro-habits must be scaled across two distinct levels.Level 1: Core Somatic-Mindset Micro-HabitsThis level requires an active, functional baseline of nervous system regulation skills. To practice at this level, you must possess the capacity to track your internal physiological sensations, stay fully present with a high internal charge without dissociating, and actively self-lead your body back to safety.In application, this looks like a complete 5-to-10 minute intentional protocol, such as the SMART Ventral Pivot. During this practice, you actively uncharge internal friction, close the emotional-mental loops, and consciously integrate back into a state of structural wholeness. From this uncharged state, you can step back into your environment with clear emotional and mental wisdom, naturally co-regulating and elevating everyone else in the room.Level 2: Sub-Somatic-Mindset Micro-HabitsBut what happens when you are right in the heat of a high-pressure environment, a trigger hits hard, and your capacity is stretched dangerously thin? What if you are in a meeting, you cannot physically walk away, and you do not have 10 minutes to reset?This is where Sub-Somatic-Mindset Micro-Habits come in. This level is designed specifically for low-capacity moments, compromised windows of tolerance, or for individuals who are still building their foundational regulation training.A sub-somatic-mindset micro-habit is a rapid, covert, 5-to-60 second physical and mental shift used in the exact moment of activation. You might drop your shoulders, change your posture to ground your sit bones, and slow your exhale, while immediately running a mental frame to interrupt the reactive loop. It scales down the physical demand to match your immediate environmental constraints, allowing you to pause a survival mask in real-time without anyone else in the room noticing.Building Your Baseline SovereigntyTrue emotional and mental mastery isn't about being perfectly regulated or meditating through chaos every second of the day. It is about knowing how to measure your capacity and match your tools to your current physiological state.To start mastering your expansion with composure, download The SMART MICRO-HABIT Composure & Core-Growth Guide: https://payhip.com/b/r3sNWCreated by: Maria Florio

This week, we sit down with a brother who grew up in the rigid, structured world of a missionary home, only to have his entire spiritual landscape shatter. We explore what happens when we let dry analytical logic strip away our childhood sense of awe, and how a profound near-death crisis of faith became the very catalyst for reclaiming a mystical connection to the divine. We are diving deep into the shadow work of the craft, the dangerous trap of becoming a mason in name only, and why true mentorship is about far more than memorizing words on a page.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Contact, Channeling, and the Human Story of Disclosure Alan Steinfeld speaks with Jess Herman about childhood contact memories, hybrid-program experiences, channeling the Vagrions, multidimensional identity, and how disclosure may expand humanity's understanding of consciousness. Guest Spotlight: Jess Herman Jess Herman is a channel, contactee, and creator connected with the channeled collective she identifies as the Vagrions. In this conversation, she shares deeply personal accounts of childhood contact memories, psychic abilities, hybrid-program experiences, channeling, pranic healing, and her mission to help people move toward unity consciousness, radical self-acceptance, and trust in their own joy. Consciousness, Contact, and the Beginning of Jess's Story In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld introduces the program as an exploration of consciousness, UFO phenomena, contactees, and the possibility that contact itself may be part of human evolution. He welcomes Jess Herman, describing her as one of his favorite people and noting that she channels the Vagrions while also appearing to have contactee experiences. Jess begins by explaining that she does not remember a childhood before contact. Her parents framed her early experiences as vivid dreams, but she now sees them as something more structured, recurring, and unusual. Childhood Experiences, Psychic Training, and the Grays Jess describes childhood memories in Montreal where time seemed to slow, the street outside her window became strangely still, and she would later find herself in sterile, hospital-like environments with other children. She compares some of these memories to later depictions in shows such as Stranger Things, especially scenes involving children practicing psychic abilities. Jess says the experiences felt organized, like a program with structure and purpose, and recalls being around other children as well as beings she identifies as grays. She explains that memories of medical-style procedures were frightening, partly because of the coldness and lack of emotional interaction she felt from the beings involved. Hybrid Children, Pregnancy Loss, and Psychic Disclosure A major part of the conversation centers on Jess's belief that she was involved in a hybrid program. She describes experiences beginning around age sixteen and later connects them to pregnancies, miscarriages, and what she believes were hybrid children or beings connected to her. Jess recounts one pregnancy that medically appeared to be developing before the fetus was no longer found, and another pregnancy involving twins in which one baby later disappeared. She says she was psychically informed that her body had been used as part of a program, that she had “signed up” for this work, and that the beings involved later allowed her to step away from the hybrid-program role. Channeling the Vagrions and the Mission of Self-Acceptance Jess explains that channeling came naturally to her, as though it was something she already knew how to do. She connects this ease with earlier training, psychic ability, and healing experiences, including her discovery of pranic healing. Her mission with the Vagrions is described as sharing messages of unity consciousness and radical self-acceptance. Jess says the Vagrions emphasize following joy, trusting the self, appreciating each person's unique individuation, and dissolving insecurity around worthiness and love. In her view, if enough people stepped into their power and made more fulfilling choices, many of the world's problems could shift within a generation. Multidimensional Identity, ET Contact, and the Nature of Reality Alan and Jess explore contact through a broader metaphysical lens, discussing starseeds, Arcturian and Pleiadian connections, mantis beings, nonverbal autistic children, telepathy, parallel dimensions, and the idea that people may exist simultaneously in more than one form or realm. Jess describes herself as having interactions that feel like going to a ship, waiting in a room, and meeting with beings in a corporate or boardroom-like setting. She also shares missing-time experiences, including one while driving near Lake Placid and another in Malta near ancient cart tracks. These stories become part of a larger discussion about how the self may exist both inside time and outside it, with the physical body understood as one expression of a much larger essence. Disclosure, Creation, and Learning to Stay Calm Around Contact The conversation eventually turns toward the historical moment of disclosure and the possibility that humanity is meeting the unknown in a new way. Jess and Alan discuss how alien contact, consciousness, time, physicality, creativity, and manifestation may all be part of the same unfolding story. Jess emphasizes that creation does not have to be a struggle, and that people are already creating reality through their perspective and assumptions. She also advises listeners who want more contact experiences to become emotionally steady around the subject, because fear or overexcitement may signal that a person is not yet ready for deeper interaction. Jess's Work, Website, and Closing Connection Near the close, Jess points listeners to JPHerman.com, her YouTube material, and her podcast Some Kind of Mystic, where she interviews channels, healers, and spiritually focused guests. Alan and Jess reflect on their immediate sense of recognition and connection, framing it as part of the larger contactee and consciousness field they have been discussing. Alan thanks Jess for her insights, her dedication, and her contribution to human evolution, while the program closes with a poetic musical outro reflecting the episode's themes of mystery, contact, trauma, consciousness, and the future of human understanding.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) William discusses all about Lebanese Maronite and Mystic, Saint Charbel Makhlouf (1828 – 1898)

Intuition, Music, and Awakening  In this Saturday morning Movie Session from the first weekend of The Way series, David Hoffmeister explores the profound spiritual lessons hidden within a great documentary examining the extraordinary life and career of a legendary music producer. David illustrates how surrendering to our inner intuition—rather than the ego or intellect—can lead to boundless joy, connection, and expansion. David explains how the producer used his deep inner listening, rather than formal music training, to discover and elevate iconic artists. The session reveals how the Holy Spirit uses music to bypass the intellect, open our hearts, and gently awaken the sleeping mind. David reflects on the teachings of A Course in Miracles and shares a deeply touching 4th of July tribute to Bill Thetford, emphasizing the power of total forgiveness. Listeners are invited to learn how to move past the ego's belief in competition, sacrifice, and false allegations by trusting entirely in the expansiveness of divine love. Tune in to discover how to let your own intuition lead the way to a life of pure joy, and remember that the love within you knows no bounds. These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

In this episode of The Intentional Clinician podcast, host Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona about her personal and professional expertise in anxiety and panic attacks, exploring how her own experiences with fear-based struggles have shaped her compassionate, research-based approach to helping others. Dr. Z candidly shares her journey of being someone whose behaviors were shaped by anxiety-from overthinking relationship decisions to second-guessing everyday choices like purchases and wardrobe selections-and how these experiences give her unique insight into working with overachievers and overthinkers who get stuck in "playing-it-safe" behaviors. The conversation delves into her Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, which provides actionable skills to help people recognize how fear and anxiety can hijack their daily lives in unlimited ways, teaching them to stop avoiding discomfort and instead take value-driven action toward what truly matters to them, transforming anxiety from a barrier into a catalyst for courageous living. Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona  known as Dr. Z, is a psychologist originally from Bolivia who has been living and practicing in the Bay Area for over 20 years, with more than 18 years of clinical experience specializing in anxiety-based struggles. She is the Director of the East Bay Behavior Therapy Center and was nominated as a Fellow of the Association of Contextual Behavioral Science in 2019, recognition for her expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Z has delivered a TEDx talk titled "Stop Playing-it-Safe and Start Living!" that has garnered over 265,000 views, published seven workbooks on anxiety, and developed the Playing-it-Safe Questionnaire to help individuals identify their fear-based behavioral patterns. She works primarily with overachievers and overthinkers across all age groups, helping them break free from ineffective playing-it-safe actions so they can engage in what works, what matters, and what they genuinely care about through her therapy practice, online courses, and published resources.

"It took me two and a half years to write a first draft. The second book? Six months. I think it is something that I became more comfortable doing — that confidence you get knowing that you can do it." — Jenn Bouchard Jenn Bouchard is a returning guest and award-winning author whose publishing journey could be a novel in itself. A high school social studies teacher of twenty-six years, she wrote Palms on the Cape five years ago — but when her original publisher closed, the manuscript sat on the shelf while she found a new home at Black Rose Writing. Now, after publishing Considering Us (2025 American Fiction Award winner) first, her Cape Cod friends-to-lovers romance is finally here. Mike and Jenn talk about pivoting when a publisher folds, the magic of Mayflower Beach at low tide, why the bar is named after palm trees, and what it's like when your high school students Google you. Key Takeaways: 1. Your first novel is the hardest. Jenn's debut First Course took two and a half years to draft. Her second and third novels each took six months. The confidence of knowing you can finish a book changes everything. 2. When your publisher closes, you pivot. Jenn's first publisher shuttered mid-process. She leaned on author friends who'd worked with Black Rose Writing, asked hard questions, and took the plunge. She's now publishing her third and fourth books with them. 3. Sometimes your second book publishes third. Palms on the Cape was written before Considering Us but is releasing after it — a reminder that publishing timelines rarely follow writing timelines. 4. Cape Cod as a character. Set primarily in Dennis near Mayflower Beach, the novel also visits Chatham, Falmouth, Hyannis, and Nantucket. Jenn spent eleven consecutive Augusts renting on the Cape and channels that intimacy into the setting. 5. A When Harry Met Sally spin. Rachel's lifelong best friend Carlos — a retired Red Sox pitcher — might be the love of her life, but she won't let herself think about it. Everyone else already knows. 6. Keep the same editor. Jenn has worked with the same editor across all four books. That continuity builds trust and deepens the editorial relationship — something newer authors can seek out intentionally.
