Podcasts about Mysticism

In a rare surfacing in the contemporary world, JF and Phil discuss a film that has just been released. Bryn Chainey's Rabbit Trap is psychological horror in the tradition of Repulsion, Jacob's Ladder, and Angel Heart. But it is more: a metaphysical film exploring the mystery of sound and the Otherworld of Faerie—an excursion into that weird country, so deftly explored by Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood, where wonder and terror perform their eldritch duets.

Should Christians seek mystical experiences as a way to grow closer to God? Pastor John looks at how Paul responded to his own visions.

Note: This episode was originally uploaded to my Patreon Tier 3 in August 2025. It's now available as 'open access' for all followers!Speculative Frequencies: A Mixed Bag of Mysticism, Music & Mystery This ‘mixed bag' episode dives into four rich and provocative topics:*Occulture & Re-enchantment: A look at the Revenant Journal's editorial on “The Occult,” exploring how mystical practices challenge dominant paradigms and foster cultural resistance through feminist, queer, and neurodiverse lenses. *Lux Interna's Sonic Rituals: Reflections on a multimedia salon by the band Lux Interna, whose music and scholarship invoke desert mysticism, spiritual reckoning, and mythic storytelling. Includes themes of embodiment, wildness, and devotional resistance. *Feminist Witchcraft & Counter-Theology: A deep dive into Lolly Willowes and Satanic Feminism, examining how occult symbolism reclaims feminine autonomy and spiritual sovereignty. Plus, how rock music channels occult motifs for identity and transformation. *Forgotten Languages & Anomalous Cognition: A speculative exploration of the enigmatic website Forgotten Languages, its ties to CCRU theory-fiction, and psychological research on UAP witnesses. Themes include encrypted knowledge, post-human communication, and linguistic alienation. This episode has examined the intersections of sonic ritual, feminist resistance, and anomalous cognition through diverse cultural and theoretical lenses. From speculative philosophy to experiential narratives, these perspectives challenge dominant epistemologies and invite reconsideration of the boundaries between the real and the imagined. Future dialogues may benefit from interdisciplinary synthesis and critical engagement with the margins of knowledge. If you enjoyed this mixed bag, and would like to have more episodes like this, please let me know! I can certainly provide more content like this in the future. PROGRAM NOTESRevenantIntroduction : RevenantLux Internanews — Lux Internalux.interna | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree"From My Body Alone Do I Know This": Sacrament & Scripture as Technologies of the Self in the Work of Jacob BöhmeLolly Willowes | Project GutenbergSatanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture | Oxford AcademicSeason of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll: Bebergal, Peter: 9780399174964: Amazon.com: BooksForgotten Languages Full: Books 2022-2025The Deepest Internet Mystery You've Never Heard Of (and Why It's Now in the Congressional Record) - YouTubeCcru- cybernetic culture research unitCcru - CCRU WikiPsychological aspects in unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) witnesses | International Journal of Astrobiology | Cambridge Core  Interviews with Bob Cluness and David Metcalfe can be found in the Rejected Religion Patreon Library. www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion All Music by Daniel P.

In this episode of LightBody Radio, Dr. Lara May welcomes two unique voices who bring a fresh perspective to spirituality and self-discovery. Together, they explore the fascinating journey of moving from skepticism to curiosity, diving into mysticism, esoteric knowledge, energy healing, and even near-death experiences. With humor, honesty, and heart, the conversation highlights the power of balancing doubt with openness, intellect with intuition, and questioning with authentic connection. Listeners will gain insights into navigating their own path of exploration—whether they consider themselves seekers, skeptics, or somewhere in between. This episode is a reminder that it's okay to not have all the answers, that balance between the masculine and feminine perspectives is essential, and that true growth often comes from stepping into the unknown. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2025.

Send us a textWhen Western medicine reaches its limits, where do we turn? Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe takes us on a remarkable journey from his days as an emergency room physician to becoming a pioneering spiritual healer who bridges conventional medicine with ancient wisdom.Dr. Jaffe shares how witnessing Hindu healers in India sparked his quest to explore healing beyond the boundaries of his medical training. Despite facing intense resistance during his residency—colleagues telling him to "shut up or get out" when discussing energy medicine—he persisted in developing a revolutionary approach that addresses the root causes of illness at physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.The conversation delves into how disease manifests in our energy fields before appearing physically in the body. Dr. Jaffe describes witnessing patterns of illness in patients' energy fields years before conventional diagnosis, including a powerful story about identifying testicular cancer in a skeptical physician seven years before its physical manifestation. His explanation of how emotional wounds—like a child not receiving love—create energetic imprints that eventually manifest as specific diseases offers profound insights into the mind-body connection. For instance, he reveals that breast cancer frequently relates to betrayal of love, while heart disease often stems from forgotten love.Through his Institute of Spiritual Healing and University of Sufism, Dr. Jaffe now trains physicians, healers, and spiritual seekers in his approach centered on the "Five C's of Inner Truth": consciousness, connection, clarity, cultivation, and commitment. His message brings hope to those suffering from chronic illness—almost all diseases can be healed given time and commitment to addressing their energetic and spiritual roots. Whether you're a healthcare professional seeking to expand your healing toolkit or someone facing health challenges conventional medicine hasn't resolved, this conversation offers a compassionate, integrative perspective on the true nature of healing.Welcome to the Art of Healing Podcast community.

Familiarizing listeners with the five Buddhist hindrances, Trudy Goodman suggests a compassionate return to mindfulness of the senses.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.In this episode, Trudy Goodman outlines:The 5 Buddhist hindrances: desire, aversion, sloth and torpor, restlessness/worry, and doubtRemembering that being affected by the hindrances is not a mistake or our fault, but instead is an opportunity to practice mindfulnessHow craving pulls us out of the present moment and how our senses can ground us back into awarenessReflecting on the feeling of wanting something, and whether our desires truly align with our core valuesThe four kinds of suffering, most of which we have all experiencedUnderstanding that aversion is not inherently ‘bad' and how it can be a kindness to turn away from something that causes us painShifting our attention away from hostility and turning towards curiosity about our emotionsPracticing walking meditation as a remedy to sloth and torpor Getting to the root of our restlessness and discovering what we are trying to change about the present moment How, beneath the paralysis of doubt and inner cynicism, there is often a lack of inner confidence Living our lives fully, not wasting a moment, and being completely present as often as we can “We each have our favorites of the hindrances, but again, these are not mistakes, these are not your fault, they're part of the practice. When the mind gets lost in them, the doorway back to being present is through coming to our senses. What we see here, taste, feel, in this particular moment of our life. We know this is actually the only real moment of our life.” – Trudy GoodmanAbout Trudy Goodman:Trudy is a Vipassana teacher in the Theravada lineage and the Founding Teacher of InsightLA. For 25 years, in Cambridge, MA, Trudy practiced mindfulness-based psychotherapy with children, teenagers, couples and individuals. Trudy conducts retreats, engages in activism work, and teaches workshops worldwide and online. She is also the voice of Trudy the Love Barbarian in the Netflix series, The Midnight Gospel. You can learn more about Trudy's flourishing array of wonderful offerings at TrudyGoodman.comAversion is also here to protect us from things that are painful in this life, the problem is that aversion doesn't understand what true protection is. True protection comes from understanding that we can meet our suffering, that we have strong enough mindfulness and strong enough ability to be present, that we can hold it, that we can meet it, that it isn't going to flood us, overwhelm us, and destroy us, which is often the fear.” – Trudy GoodmanThis recording was originally published on Dharmaseed.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode I give a high level thesis on the path of mysticism, what is mystical meditation, what is this Light I am speaking about all the time, and how mysticism is a path of true spiritual sovereignty

In this episode of the Outlaw God, Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith look at Martin Luther's interpretation of Psalm 18 and connects it back to Acts 17. They explore Luther's transition from mystical and allegorical readings to a focus on proclamation and the distinction between law and gospel. The discussion highlights how Luther's understanding of God's promises, as opposed to the law's accusations, marked a significant shift in his theological approach.

Pastor Mike focuses on the dangers of mysticism within evangelicalism, which he considers a significant problem. Mike defines mysticism as receiving God's truth from internal, subjective sources like feelings, intuition, and personal revelations rather than from the external source of the Bible. He argues that human nature is totally depraved since Adam's fall, making internal impressions and feelings unreliable and untrustworthy. Mike champions the sufficiency and authority of Scripture, citing passages like 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Psalm 19 to support the idea that the Bible is the only true guide for life and godliness.  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VPHcLmoSPaA Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions) 

In the beginning was Mind. Not matter. Not energy. Not even space or time. Pure, infinite, eternal Mind - what the ancient Hermetic masters called The All. Imagine, if you can, a consciousness so vast that entire galaxies are but fleeting thoughts... where the birth and death of stars happen in the space between heartbeats... where countless universes bloom and fade like flowers in an endless cosmic garden. This is The All. The Divine Mind. The eternal Thinker. And here's the secret that changes everything: You are not separate from this Mind. You ARE this Mind, experiencing itself through the lens of individuality. The All creates through thought, just as you create entire worlds in your imagination. But unlike human thought, which flickers and fades, the thoughts of The All are sustained by infinite concentration, infinite will, infinite love. Every mountain, every ocean, every beating heart - these are thoughts in the Mind of God, held in perfect focus across eons of time. And you? You are both the thinker and the thought. You participate in the very nature of the Divine Consciousness. You are an instrument through which The All experiences itself, knows itself, creates itself anew in every moment.When you think, The All thinks through you. When you imagine, The All imagines through you. When you create, you are Divine Mind in action.

#373 In this episode, Guy talked with Dr. Anona Blackwell, a respected medical consultant turned mystic. Dr. Blackwell shared her journey from traditional medicine to incorporating spirituality after witnessing unexplained phenomena in her practice. They discussed the integration of mind, body, and spirit in healthcare, the hidden costs of ignoring spiritual aspects in healing, and envisioned a future where science and spirituality coalesce in medical systems. Alongside her intriguing experiences and stories, Dr. Blackwell emphasizes the importance of love, community, and the interconnectedness of health and spirituality. The episode also touched on the potential of AI and energy fields in future medical practices. About Dr. Anona: Dr. Anona Blackwell is an academic physician and avid explorer of the natural world who has dedicated her life to understanding the intricate connections between science and spirituality. Her book, ‘From Medic to Mystic,' is inspired by her personal experiences and a deep-seated curiosity about the universe.  From her humble beginnings as the daughter of a bus driver and market gardener, growing up on a smallholding in rural Wales, Dr. Blackwell, BSc, AKC, FRCP, rose to become a leading authority in genitourinary medicine. She led a research team whose work transformed clinical practice in the UK, improving the health of millions of women by advancing the treatment of anaerobic/ bacterial vaginosis.  Immersed in orthodox medicine by day, she devoted her after-hours to the in-depth investigation of anomalous phenomena, energy healing, and metaphysics.

In this experience, she was told many things, among them that He would return to her later in her life and give her a mission to fulfill in relation to out of body travel. When she was 22 years old, she had her first out-of-body experience in adulthood which began a process of journaling which would unleash thousands of out of body travel and mystical experiences over the next decades."

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.In this episode of the BHNN Guest Podcast, Gil describes:The significance of going for refuge within the Buddhist tradition How taking refuge can radically reshape your life and reorient your heart towards truth and freedomAnalyzing our consciousness and what it is concerned with Taking refuge in the right things (those which can be be depended on for safety, peace, support)Bringing 100% of yourself along to the refuge without holding backWhy some people resist the concept of going for refugeMaking the intentional, willful choice to live a life aligned with truth and awakeningTrusting in the Dharma, surrendering, and knowing that it will always support youThe wise story of a monk who always maintained an attitude of trust and positivity, to his own downfall Taking refuge within ourselves and becoming independent within the Dharma rather than depending on other people The essence of the Dharma: committing to a life that doesn't cause harm Taking refuge in the potential for awakening and freedom that we all haveFinding refuge within the sangha, aka, our spiritual community Offering refuge to others and ensuring that we are a source of peace for the world around us“For me a very important aspect of this whole refuge thing is offering refuge to others, being someone that people can take refuge in, or being in the world in such a way that the world feels safe with you, supported by you, that the world has nothing to fear from you. Not just going for refuge or taking refuge, but offering refuge in return.” – Gil Fronsdal About Gil Fronsdal:Gil Fronsdal is the co-teacher for the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California; he has been teaching since 1990.

You may listen to Gil's talks on Audio Dharma.This recording was originally published on Dharmaseed.org "To take refuge is to be interested in shaping consciousness in a very different way, shaping our heart in a very different way, so that our heart, our mind, is depending on something that is worth depending on. Depending on something which can provide a stable peace. Depending on something which is dependable. Depending on something that can protect us, support us, inspire us, and even liberate us.” – Gil Fronsdal See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this experience, she was told many things, among them that He would return to her later in her life and give her a mission to fulfill in relation to out of body travel. When she was 22 years old, she had her first out-of-body experience in adulthood which began a process of journaling which would unleash thousands of out of body travel and mystical experiences over the next decades."

Trigger warning: discussion of seggsual assault near the end In this episode, Charna interviews Ariella Daley, a seasoned dream worker, animist, and beekeeper with over 15 years of experience. Ariella shares her fascinating journey into beekeeping and dream work, influenced by a blend of naturalism from her mother and mysticism from her father. She recounts a significant experience where wild bees moved into her home, deeply intertwining her dream work with her beekeeping practice. Ariella and Charna discuss the profound healing and intuitive lessons bees can impart, the importance of intentional dreaming, and the animist worldview that sees life and consciousness in all things. Ariella also touches on her personal healing journey through profound experiences with snakes and bees, and later discusses her recent experience of seggsual assault and how dream work has been a vital resource in her healing process.  Show Notes: (You can also watch the episode on YouTube) 00:00 Welcome, Trigger Warning and Introduction 01:03 Meet Ariella Daley: Dream Worker and Beekeeper 03:33 Ariella's Journey: From Childhood to Dreaming with Bees 05:40 The Healing Power of Bees 09:41 Intentional Dreaming and Animism 12:17 The Animist Worldview 15:33 Connecting with Nature and Intuition 19:29 The Meditative Presence of Bees 24:33 Exploring the Connection Between Bees and Dreams 25:10 Ancient Dream Healing Practices 26:08 The Symbolism of Snakes and Bees 28:25 Personal Stories of Dream and Snake Encounters 34:03 The Impact of Trauma and Healing 42:36 Concluding Thoughts and Future Episodes Resources To Reach Out To: National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN): Voice: (800) 656-HOPE (4673) | Web: https://centers.rainn.org/ SF Women Against Rape: 415-861-2024  Book Resources: Judith Herman "Trauma and Recovery" Babette Rothschild "The Body Remembers and 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery" Peter Levine "Waking the Tiger" Staci Haines "Healing Sex"

Why does God hide Himself? Why does Scripture show Him veiled in clouds, curtains, flesh, and bread? In this episode we explore one of the most overlooked themes in Catholic spirituality: the veil.From Eden to the Eucharist, from Moses' shining face to the veil of the Temple torn at the Cross, veiling runs through the entire story of salvation. The Catholic mystics teach us that veils are not barriers but acts of mercy — God concealing Himself so that we may gradually be unveiled and transformed into His likeness.We'll explore:The Biblical meaning of veils (Genesis, Exodus, Song of Songs, Revelation)Why God veils Himself in mercy, mystery, and preparationHow we veil ourselves through sin and fearThe Eucharist as God's veil under bread and wineTheosis: unveiling as transformation into God's image (2 Corinthians 3:18)Purgatory as the final veil before union with GodVoices of the mystics: Catherine of Siena, Bernard of Clairvaux, John of the Cross, Gertrude the Great

What if everything we think we know about trauma and healing is backwards? Today I'm talking with Aizaiah Young about his incredible new book "Trauma and Renewal" and honestly, this conversation blew me away. Isaiah survived a near-death motorcycle accident right after passing his PhD comprehensive exams (talk about terrible timing), and during a 16-hour surgery, he had this profound mystical encounter with Jesus that completely reshaped how he thinks about transformation. But here's the thing - this isn't some individualistic "I found healing and so can you" story. Instead, Aizaiah argues that real healing is relational, communal, and intercultural, and he's doing something really brave by including his parents' voices throughout the book as they process this traumatic journey together. We dive deep into contemplative tradition, Internal Family Systems therapy, the vision he had of sitting in silence by a river with Jesus (who apparently has a great sense of humor), and how the whole Western approach to selfhood might be fundamentally missing the point. Isaiah's working at the Collegeville Institute now with the Benedictines, and if you want to meet him in person, he'll be hanging out with us at Theology Beer Camp this October in St. Paul. This is one of those conversations that stays with you. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Aizaiah G. Yong is an ordained pentecostal Christian minister and practical theologian who has served in religious and higher education leadership for over a decade devoting his energy to healing and advocacy work that centers QTBIPOC communities. His recent book, Multiracial Cosmotheadrism: a Practical Theology of Multiracial Experiences, received the internationally acclaimed 2022 Raimon Panikkar Prize.

In this episode of the Outlaw God podcast, Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith take a look into Eastern and Western influences on mysticism. The conversation transitions to Western mysticism, highlighting the shift towards feeling and love, particularly through the works of Hugh of St. Victor and Bonaventure. They examine how Luther's theology evolved, moving from a focus on the mind to embracing the love of the crucified Christ, a concept central to Christological mysticism. The episode also touches on the broader implications of these mystical traditions on modern faith and church practices.

Matt, Alastair, Joseph, and Derek explore the themes of enchantment and disenchantment in theology and culture. They reflect on Charles Taylor's analysis of the “disenchanted” modern age, the loss of a sacramental imagination, and the ways Christians might recover a sense of wonder, mystery, and divine presence in creation. The conversation considers both dangers—superstition, romantic nostalgia—and opportunities for faithful re-enchantment through Scripture, liturgy, and daily discipleship.

Framed by the Sufi wisdom of Rumi, a 13th century mystical poet, Omid Safi brings our awareness to the profound ways that we are interconnected with the divine.This week on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Omid Safi discusses :Living as a reflection of the Divine—carrying ourselves as mirrors of God's light on earthThe gift of alchemy: the science that recognizes the whole of the universe as one essence Transforming that which is lowly into that which is sublimeSurrounding ourselves with communities and companions who bring us closer to GodPolishing the mirror of the heart until we can shine divine qualities outwardly Realizing that the beloved always was and always will be with usExperiencing the body as a vessel and conduit for graceThe mystical whirling dervishes and their harmony with the universeRumi's best known work, The Spiritual Couplets, and its enduring inspirationAllowing our spiritual path to be supple, nourishing, and radiant with beautyBecoming what we already are (intertwined with the whole matrix of creation)Training our bodies to listen, to be gentle, to speak with loveA brief history of the 13th century and the world Rumi was living inHow the world can be healed through expansive loveDeath, dying, and embracing the infinite rather than being stuck in fearBefriending the heart and asking ourselves what feeds our souls“When Rumi speaks about love, it is not just something sentimental and romantic. Love is nothing short of the unleashing of God onto this earth. Love is the very being of Allah. It is love that created you, it is love that brought you here, it is love that sustains you here, and if you can just get over this notion that you are a finite limited creaturely self, you can merge into this current of love and be carried back home.” – Omid SafiAbout Omid Safi:Dr. Omid Safi is the director of Duke University's Islamic Studies Center. He specializes in the study of Islamic mysticism and contemporary Islam and frequently writes on liberationist traditions of Dr. King and Malcolm X, and is committed to traditions that link together love and justice. He leads spiritual tours every year to Turkey, Morocco, or other countries, to study the rich multiple religious traditions there. The trips are open to everyone from every country. More information is available at Illuminated Courses & Tours. “The sages in Rumi's tradition, one of them from India says, ‘the One beloved is closer to you than the ocean is to the fish'. It's a matter of reorienting, realizing that here and now where you are, you're standing knee deep in the water of life, that the One has never abandoned you, the One is with you now as has been forever.” – Omid SafiAbout The Host, Jackie Dobrinska:Jackie Dobrinska is the Director of Education, Community & Inclusion for Ram Dass' Love, Serve, Remember Foundation and the current host of Ram Dass' Here & Now podcast. She is also a teacher, coach, and spiritual director with the privilege of marrying two decades of mystical studies with 15 years of expertise in holistic wellness. As an inter-spiritual minister, Jackie was ordained in Creation Spirituality in 2016 and has also studied extensively in several other lineages – the plant-medicine-based Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, Sri Vidya Tantra, Western European Shamanism, Christian Mysticism, the Wise Woman Tradition, and others.

I believe that the internal vibrational frequency we radiate synchronizes with reality gifting us with MIRACLES, and come out of nowhere when we least expect it..... Death and loss are wake up calls for radical mental, emotional and spiritual growth. But only if we face it, and choose to process the thoughts and feelings associated with such a loss. Our brain wants to keep us on auto-pilot mode, rather than learning new insightful life-worthy lessons! "I had only two choices on how to deal with yet another Death, wallow in self-pity and guilt or relentlessly search for all the Hidden WISDOM I possibly could find...." ~ Karen Love Lee As I drew from all the past ENLIGHTENMENT I had gained in the recovery of every death up until this point, I was able to TRUST the healing process....regenerating profound feelings of FAITH. "The subconscious mind acts first on the dominating desires which have been mixed with emotional feeling, such as faith." "FAITH is the head chemist of the mind." ~ Napoleon Hill, Author of Think and Grow Rich As I laser focused on elevating self-realization, without being aware that this new wisdom was enhancing my trust and faith, my brain was sending and receiving energetic signals. Napoleon Hill likens this to "radio waves transmitted by the brain."   "Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds, and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of the life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts." ~ Napoleon Hill, Author of Think and Grow Rich The more consistently we align our mental frequency with a wish or goal the more the universe mysteriously shifts to create what is imagined into the material form. Poof! Another horse that has been on my wish-list appears, a Freisian Stallion. But, this time it's a new consciousness experience. Granted, manifesting dream horses is typical for me. But what is atypical is the underlying driving force. In the past I was driven by the unconscious need to bury or hide from pain, not untainted pleasure. This time, I diligently transformed the pain into deeply rooted passion stemming from my soul. Rather than numbing or disguising the problem with a band-aid fix. In retrospect, I used a lot of horses to mask UNconscious insecurities, and vowed not to repeat this unhealthy self-sabotaging pattern. No matter the cost or sacrifice. Because it only prolongs hidden heartache. Learning from my past history, I was able to make a conscious choice to stop this maddening cycle. Ta-dah!!!! As a result of this promise to mySELF, I ended up exponentially elevating my mental, emotional and spiritual acuity to the next-level!!!! More said, this time I didn't use something or someone to cover up or mask my deep-seated inner turmoil and grief. As humans, we are automatically designed to override EMOTIONAL processing in times of crisis, which distorts and deflects us from what eternally matters ~ soulful happiness and fulfillment. In my particular case, if I had distracted myself by getting a quick-fix, adenaline high from simply replacing my deceased horse with a new dream horse, I would have missed all the empowering Evolutionary Consciousness. Hence, intensifying my "Infinite Intelligence." As Napoleon Hill describes it, is the all-pervading intelligence of the universe -- a boundless source of ideas, inspiration, and guidance. It communicates through the subconscious and imagination, and it responds when desire, faith, and action are aligned. "The univers is asking... Show me your new vibration, I will show you miracles." ~ Solancha Bottom line: I ended up embodying the best of both worlds of the Human Mind. The World of Logic and The World of Mysticism.  The Power of Fantasy becoming REAL. Not only did I get radical wisdom, I miraculously magnetized my next DREAM Horse, Arion Vrai!!!! #BelieveInMIRACLES #EmpoweringYouThroughUs 

At Spirit Fest USA in Dulles, Virginia, we sat down with Vanessa Anseloni from the Spiritist Society of Virginia for a conversation that bridged neuroscience, spirituality, and service to humanity. What we discovered was a movement dedicated to teaching, healing, and inspiring...rooted in Spiritism, a philosophy and science exploring our nature, origins, and destiny as immortal beings. Vanessa, a neuroscientist and psychologist, shared how the Society blends rigorous study with heart-centered practice, offering free programs for children, teens, and adults. From lessons on emotional intelligence to outreach for the homeless in Washington, D.C., their mission is grounded in compassion and inclusivity, welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds. We dive deep into:What Spiritism really is and how it connects the physical and spiritual realmsThe groundbreaking MRI research revealing the “spiritual brain”Why mastering your emotional intelligence is essential before deep spiritual workThe Society's powerful outreach programs, and why kids play a central roleMediumship in your DNA: the science and history behind this innate human giftHow Spiritist Parenting, Kardec Radio, and the Spiritist Magazine are helping spread light globallyAlong the way, Vanessa shares fascinating stories, like asking her spirit guides for help during her master's degree exams, and waking with exactly the information she needed. We also explore how Spiritist lessons for children (including wisdom from Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues!) are shaping the next generation of compassionate, conscious leaders. This episode is a reminder that spirituality isn't about abandoning reason; it's about aligning the mind and heart to better serve yourself, your community, and the world. Links & Resources: Spiritist Society of Virginia Free Apps: Kardec Radio, Spiritist Magazine, Spiritist ParentingThe Spirit's Book by Allan Kardec Kardec Radio – 24/7 international spiritual programming If you've ever wondered how science, mediumship, and volunteer service can come together to create real change...this is an episode you won't want to miss.Subscribe, Rate & Review!
