Orchids are the botanical poster children for plant-fungi interactions. Every orchid has a close relationship with at least one species of orchid. Understanding how these relationships play out from orchid roots and across ecosystems is key to orchid understanding and conservation. Joining us to talk about the complexity of understanding these relationships is Dr. Melissa McCormick of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center and the North American Orchid Conservation Center. Listen in and learn about what it takes to study orchids and their fungi and how that knowledge improves orchid conservation efforts.

— In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to become disconnected—from ourselves, from one another, and from the natural world. We're constantly chasing the next task, the next notification, the next destination, often forgetting that some of life's greatest healing happens when we simply slow down and pay attention. But what if one of the most powerful practices for reducing stress, restoring mental clarity, and reconnecting with a deeper sense of peace wasn't another productivity hack—but simply spending intentional time among the treesToday, we're exploring the beautiful practice of forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-yoku—a gentle invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse ourselves in nature through our senses. We'll talk about the growing science behind this practice, how it supports our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, and why slowing down may be one of the most profound pathways to joy. Valeria sits with Amanda Chapman   — She has been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1997 and has worked with people from all walks of life and ages from diverse backgrounds.  Amanda is also a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy; a Certified Heart Math Practitioner; a Certified Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapist; and a Certified Life Coach, with a specialty in Spiritual Direction. Amanda currently offers both counseling and nature-based services through a branch of Elizabethton Counseling and Arts Center, located at Shakti in the Mountains, in Johnson City, Tennessee.  Within her practice, Amanda specializes in what she calls Psycho-Spiritual Counseling, a blend of traditional psychotherapy or "talk therapy", outdoor or nature connection experiences, and spiritual direction or guidance. In addition to her counseling services, Amanda offers seasonal forest bathing experiences, which are guided nature walks, inspired by the Japanese practice of "shinrin-yoku," an outdoor practice that opens doors for physical and mental system regulation and relaxation and a reconnection to Mother Earth.  Amanda also offers workshops and facilitates community talks on various subjects, such as Spiritual Awakenings, How to Age with Grace and Gusto, the Hidden Powers of the Highly Sensitive Person, Animal Communication, and Embracing the Inner Child. She also hosts and guides a local monthly group that explores the nature of reality and spirituality.  Amanda's personal story of spiritual awakening will be coming out in a soon-to-be published nonfiction anthology, What Happened Next: Stories of Life Altering Encounters, and she is currently working on her memoir.  Amanda is a proud native of her community and loves sharing the magic of what nature and spirit can do for our hearts, bodies, and minds. When not working, Amanda can be found spending time with her granddaughter or just sitting in silence in her backyard woods, listening to the birds and watching the deer and squirrels, and the occasional neighborhood bear.  To learn more about Amanda Chapman and her work, please visit: https://www.oneforestworld.com/

God is talking directly to you every single day. But are you getting the messages? Divine Intelligence is constantly communicating through signs from God, synchronicities, intuitive nudges, and powerful moments we often overlook or dismiss. In this episode of Soul Elevation with Kara Goodwin, I share recent, real-life examples of how divine messages show up, and just how easy it is to miss them when we're not tuned in. You'll learn why so many of us miss signs from the universe, how to recognize when God is talking to you, and how to train yourself to better receive divine guidance. If you've been asking how to hear God more clearly or wondering if the universe is speaking to you, this conversation will help you strengthen your connection and trust the messages you're already receiving. This episode is for you if you're on a spiritual awakening journey and want to deepen your ability to receive higher consciousness, energy healing, and cosmic wisdom.

For most birds, keen eyesight is critical for survival. But many birds lead lives that can be very hard on the eyes — like flying at breakneck speed, racing for cover into a dense thicket, or diving under water to capture prey. Imagine how the chips fly as this Pileated Woodpecker chisels a cavity. Fortunately, birds have evolved a structure for protecting their eyes. Beneath the outer eyelids lies an extra eyelid, called the nictitating membrane. It helps keep the eye moist and clean while guarding it from wind, dust, and hazards.

【主播的话】一年多前的春天，一个穿着粉色外套、行李箱里装满毛绒玩具的6岁女孩小美，被父母带进了上海一间医院。他们筹集了数百万人民币，只为修复女儿DNA里一个碱基的“错误”——这个“错误”让她语言发育迟缓，让她的成长轨迹偏离了所谓“正常”的标准。但悲剧发生了，七天后，小美因为治疗过程中出现的排异反应，不幸离世。一年多之后，这起事件被《科学》杂志的调查曝光，随即引发了全球科学界和公众的强烈震动。小美患上了一种罕见病——“斯奈德斯—布洛克—坎波综合征”（Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome）是自闭症谱系的一种，通常不直接危及生命。在“研究伦理失范”和“知情同意缺失”的讨论之外，还有一个更根本的问题悬而未决：我们为什么如此急迫地想要“治愈”自闭症？谁决定了什么样的大脑是需要被修复的？本期节目，我们邀请了美国伊利诺伊大学芝加哥医学院的临床助理教授许玥，她长期研究自闭症与残障议题，尤其关注华裔移民家庭在寻求支持与服务过程中所面对的重重困境。我们从小美的故事出发，试图理解：自闭症究竟是什么，我们对它的恐惧从何而来，照护意味着什么，以及一个公正的社会可以为这些患者、这些家庭做些什么？【本期主播】若含：小红书@若含王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】许玥：美国伊利诺伊大学芝加哥医学院罗克福德分校临床助理教授，长期关注自闭症、残障及干预治疗【本期剧透】02:45 健全中心主义的伦理阴影，6 岁女童因接受基因编辑治疗不幸离世05:09 涉事科学家在猴子实验已出现损伤的情况下仍进行人体实验，并在论文中抹去死亡数据12:16 从“对抗”到“照护”：美国自闭症治疗观的演变15:24 自闭症是一个怎样的谱系？高功能自闭症是什么？20:06 为何自闭症“变多”了？28:29 对自闭症的科学干预：基于行为的陪伴与训练32:58 如何判断孩子是否有自闭症？36:06 美国对于自闭症的社会支持系统：从教育到终身安置39:57 华裔自闭症家庭在争取权利时面临的怎样的障碍42:26 伦理辩论：苦难是否必须被消除？46:40 给公众与家长的寄语【相关阅读】仇子龙 / 基因编辑事件论文标题：Kan Yang et al., “In vivo base editing of Chd3 rescues behavioural abnormalities in mice”Nature 651, 785–795 (2026)

There is a sentence here from St. Isaac that overturns almost everything we are inclined to think about asceticism: You suppose these things were ordained simply to oblige you to labor. We imagine the vigil primarily as something difficult. Sleep is surrendered. The body is constrained. Psalms are prayed while the world sleeps. Nature protests and the monk remains standing before God. Looked at from the outside, it appears to be an extraordinary act of discipline. But Isaac tells us that if this is all we see, we have not yet understood the vigil. The question is not how much a man can endure for God. The question is what begins to happen within the heart of a man who desires God enough to seek Him in the night. Something is born there. This is why Isaac speaks so fiercely about the following day. The tragedy would not simply be that we failed in some ascetical rule. The tragedy would be that we received something precious and then lived carelessly enough to lose it. Seeking the One Who Has Already Come to Us The night vigil is born from desire. The monk rises because Someone is there. This is what distinguishes Christian asceticism from mere religious exertion. We are not trying to force our way toward an absent God. We are responding to the God who has already drawn near, already called us, already awakened desire within us. The Beloved has come seeking us. And eventually the heart begins seeking Him. There comes a moment in the spiritual life when prayer is no longer adequately described as obligation. The language of duty becomes too small. A man discovers within himself a hunger for silence because silence allows him to hear more clearly. He desires solitude because solitude removes the thousand competing claims upon his attention. He rises in the night because there are hours when the world has become quiet enough for the heart to recognize what it has always desired. Isaac knows this experience. This is why he speaks of Scripture as well. Reading is not merely preparation for prayer or the acquisition of religious knowledge. Scripture “sows” something within the soul. It gathers the scattered mind. It irrigates prayer. It plants the remembrance of God. It makes the understanding subtle enough to perceive things that previously escaped it. Scripture, silence, prayer, vigil—all begin converging upon the one thing necessary. Christ Himself. And once the heart begins to taste this, the whole ordering of life must change. The Day Must Become the Guardian of the Night Here Isaac becomes extraordinarily demanding. What sense is there, he asks, in sowing throughout the night only to scatter the seed during the day? We stand before God in darkness, struggling to gather the mind. Perhaps after a long while the thoughts settle. Something softens. The Name descends more deeply. Scripture opens itself in a way that cannot easily be explained. A stillness appears that we could never manufacture. Then morning comes. And we throw ourselves back into dispersion. Conversation. Curiosity. News. Opinions. Tasks that did not need to be done. Encounters that did not need to occur. Words that did not need to be spoken. The endless grazing of the mind among things. Isaac's question is devastatingly simple: Why would you do this? Why labor through the night to gather what you willingly scatter during the day? This reveals something essential about the monastic heart. Vigil cannot be isolated from the rest of life. There cannot be one life before God and another life afterward. Isaac says that we must place “no wall of separation” between the night and the day. That phrase is astonishing. The stillness of the night is meant to flow into the day. The remembrance of God cultivated in darkness must become the hidden atmosphere in which we move beneath the light of the sun. The silence of the cell must follow us. The Name must remain near. Our encounters, our speech, our work, even the manner in which we allow ourselves to think must begin to be governed by one question: Will this help me remain with the One whom I have found? This is not narrowness. It is love. Love Makes a Man Careful When something becomes precious to us, we become careful around it. This perhaps explains Isaac's asceticism better than almost anything else. The Fathers guard the senses because something precious has been entrusted to the heart. They guard speech because words can disturb what silence has gathered. They flee unnecessary encounters because the mind can quickly become populated by images, arguments, memories, anxieties, and judgments. They restrain curiosity because the heart cannot gaze simultaneously in every direction and remain simple before God. From outside, such a life may appear severe. From within, it is tenderness. A man in love does not experience every renunciation as deprivation. Some things simply become less interesting because something infinitely more beautiful has appeared. This is why the ascetical life is so counterintuitive. We ordinarily construct our days around what must be accomplished and then attempt to fit prayer somewhere within them. Isaac reverses the order. Order the day around what must not be lost. What if the most important thing that happened today occurred while the world was sleeping? What if the deepest work was not something we accomplished but the quiet gathering of the heart before God? What if the purpose of tomorrow were, in part, simply not to lose it? Then discernment changes. We begin asking not merely whether something is sinful, permissible, useful, interesting, or productive. We begin asking whether it preserves the heart's capacity for God. This is a much more demanding question. “You Would Have Embraced Jesus' Bosom” And then Isaac says something almost unbearably beautiful. Had the monk allowed his daytime life to correspond to the meditation of the night, had he placed no division between them, Isaac says that “in a short time you would have embraced Jesus' bosom.” Here the entire meaning of vigil is unveiled. Not achievement. Not spiritual heroism. Not mastery over sleep. The bosom of Jesus. Communion. Intimacy. Rest in the Beloved. Everything else exists for this. We constrain ourselves because we desire freedom from everything that prevents love. We become silent because we desire to hear. We remain awake because we desire to see. We read because we desire the mind of Christ. We guard ourselves because we have discovered something worth guarding. Even the night itself becomes sacramental in this sense. The darkness strips things of their urgency. The machinery of the world slows. The identities we carry during the day become less important. There is less to perform and less to defend. There is simply the creature before the Creator. The beloved before the Beloved. And the Name. Lord Jesus Christ. The New Life Begins in the Night Isaac finally speaks of those who desire “knowledge of the new life.” That is what vigil opens before us. A new life. Not merely a more disciplined version of the old one. Perhaps this is why the call to stillness can become stronger rather than weaker as the spiritual life deepens. The field of vision narrows. Things once regarded as indispensable reveal themselves as secondary. Activities that once seemed important begin to feel strangely weightless. Even good works must find their proper place. Not because love has diminished. Because desire has become concentrated. One thing is necessary. The night teaches this with a clarity the day rarely permits. And so perhaps Isaac's teaching on vigil reaches far beyond the question of how many hours we sleep. He is teaching us how to construct an entire life around the remembrance of God. Receive the night as gift. Read until the mind is gathered. Call upon the Name. Stand before God when nothing seems to be happening. Remain. And when something begins to awaken within you—some tenderness, some compunction, some clarity, some quiet awareness of the One who has been waiting for you—do not rush away from it. Guard it. Carry it into the morning. Let your speech become quieter because of it. Let your choices become simpler. Let unnecessary things fall away. Let the day itself become an extension of the vigil. For the purpose of the vigil was never simply that we should remain awake. It was that we should awaken. And having awakened, that we should refuse to return to sleep. The Fathers went into the night because they had begun to glimpse the astonishing truth hidden beneath all asceticism: God is worth seeking. God is worth waiting for. God is worth arranging an entire life around. And once the heart has begun to discover Him in the silence, wisdom consists largely in learning not to lose during the day what Love has given us in the night. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:21:49 Ambrose Little: It's supposed to make your head hurt.

Few people understand the source of will power. Will is the inner power created by the focusing of consciousness, and the way we use it determines whether we become trapped in ego or awakened spiritually. By using our will to resist experiences, we create samskaras that block our natural flow of energy and keep us identified with our personal self. The highest expression of will is to consciously relax, allow life to pass through without resistance, and ultimately surrender personal will to the divine will. © Sounds True Inc.

With the recent passing of Carol Lynn Pearson, we are releasing this encore episode (originally released in March 2021) of a great discussion between Carol Lynn and Kathryn Knight Sonntag about the divine feminine and the need for "Mother." The sound quality isn't great due to a couple of issues we didn't discover until after recording. It is still highly listenable! This episode celebrates Carol Lynn Pearson's recent book, Finding Mother God: Poems to Heal the World, but does so much more. Carol Lynn and Kathryn Sonntag join LDF host Dan Wotherspoon to talk about the deep ache that not only we, but also our societies and the world, have to fully reclaim the presence and energies of the Mother (Divine Feminine, Mother Creator, Nature, Wisdom, Mother in Heaven, etc.). Yet, too often, we fail to recognize this pain, as well as all the ways things are out of balance because of her having been sidelined. The podcast episode features Carol Lynn reading several of her poems, Kathryn reading an excerpt from her writings on Mother, the cycles of life and death, and the Tree of Life, as well as extended conversations about reclaiming partnership, healing, chaos and decay, and (just a bit near the end) today's political climate. Plus more! You do not want to miss this chance to listen to these powerful women about their experiences, motivations, and all the things that propel them forward in the creative work they do.

The healing process at the University of Idaho was slow, uneven and deeply personal in the months and years after the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. The killings shattered the sense of safety in Moscow and left students, faculty and families trying to process the fact that four young people had been murdered just off campus in a crime that immediately drew national attention. Classes continued, memorials were held and counseling resources were expanded, but normal campus life did not simply snap back into place. Fear lingered, especially in the early weeks when no suspect had yet been arrested, and many students left town early, changed routines or remained uneasy about returning. Even after Bryan Kohberger was taken into custody, the grief did not disappear because the victims had been woven into the social fabric of the university, and reminders of them remained everywhere from classrooms and Greek life to vigils, scholarships and memorial efforts.As time passed, the university community tried to move forward without pretending that moving forward meant forgetting. The demolition of the King Road house, the creation of memorials and continued efforts to honor the four victims became part of a broader attempt to give the campus some measure of closure, but there was never a single moment when the trauma was simply over. Every major court hearing, anniversary, documentary, news report and development in the Kohberger case reopened wounds for students and families who had already spent months living under intense public scrutiny. The university had to balance remembrance with the needs of thousands of students who still had classes to attend, degrees to finish and lives to build. In that sense, recovery was less about returning to the campus that existed before November 2022 and more about learning how to live with what had happened. The community slowly rebuilt its sense of normalcy, but the murders became a permanent part of the university's history and an event that continued to shape how people there understood safety, grief and loss.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Discover how Animal Reiki teaches us to heal our perceived separation from nature and step back into the sacred circle of life. In this session, Robyn and Colleen Benelli explore how working with animal energy guides us into deep belonging, human acceptance, and community reciprocity. Learn how to shift your perspective from dominion over to communion with and create meaningful solutions from a foundation of love. Join the animals in the circle of life. Key Insights: Healing Human Separation: Animal Reiki is not merely about sending energy to pets; it is a profound mirror that heals our learned cultural isolation from the Earth, restoring our awareness that humans are an equal part of the ecosystem. Belonging in Human Form: Many spiritual practitioners, starseeds, and intuitives find it easy to love nature but struggle to accept humanity. Real healing happens when we extend compassion to our own human nature, physical bodies, and local communities. The Reciprocity of Creation: The circle of life has no hierarchy, no top and no bottom. Moving from the illusion of dominion over into mutual exchange allows us to solve problems from a new level of consciousness rooted in love. Honoring Natural Rhythms: Just as animals choose proximity or distance based on their present needs, we must honor our boundaries without guilt, asking Reiki to bridge the gap when we feel out of alignment.   People Also Ask (FAQ) What can Animal Reiki teach us about human belonging? Animal Reiki reveals that humans are inherently part of the natural ecosystem rather than separate observers. By attuning to animal and plant frequencies, we release collective judgment and remember our place of mutual reciprocity within the circle of life. How does Reiki help heal feelings of spiritual disconnection? Reiki bridges the gap between your divine spiritual consciousness and your earthly human experience. It dissolves subconscious barriers of isolation, enabling you to embrace your physical humanness while remaining grounded in higher frequencies. Why is reciprocity important in energy healing with nature? True energy healing operates as a continuous giving and receiving exchange. When we honor the unique contributions of plants, animals, and human communities, we co-create solutions from love and balance rather than control or scarcity.

The world keeps getting faster, louder, and more artificial. Maybe the answer isn't keeping up — maybe it's getting back to what's real. Tim and Steve talk about our built-in need for nature, connection, and getting our hands a little dirty. From martial arts and the symbolism of the belts to beaches, mountains, bare feet, and "micro vacations," this episode is about stepping away from the noise long enough to reset. Technology has its place. But sometimes the best upgrade is putting the phone down and going outside. "Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are." — Gretel Ehrlich

This weeks episode is with the incredibly talented Sophie Strand!  Sophie Strand is a writer and poet based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology.

Jonathon Keats is an artist, writer, and experimental philosopher, and his work uses imagination to question some of our most basic assumptions about how the world works. His new book, “A Field Guide to More-Than-Human Governance,” looks beyond human societies for new ways of thinking about politics, drawing lessons from bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, and entire ecosystems. At the heart of the book is a simple idea: humans didn't invent governance. Living things have been organizing, cooperating, competing, and adapting to one another for billions of years, and Jonathon argues that we might have something to learn from them. He asks us to reconsider what intelligence looks like, who—or what—we're willing to learn from, and ultimately, what our place is within the natural world. In “A Field Guide to More-Than-Human Governance,” Jonathon takes that idea and asks what it might actually mean for the way we govern ourselves. Bacteria become models for collective decision-making, lichens offer lessons about cooperation and conflict, and other species challenge our assumptions about hierarchy, resilience, and even democracy. Jonathon calls this approach “political biomimicry”—looking to the strategies that have evolved throughout nature and considering how they might inspire new approaches to human politics. It's an imaginative way of thinking about some very real problems, and one that asks us to reconsider whether humans should always be the only ones setting the terms.

What if the line between neuroscience and the paranormal is far thinner than we've been taught to believe? In this episode of the Align Podcast, Mayim Bialik, PhD neuroscientist, actor, author, and host of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, explores where science, mysticism, trauma, and consciousness intersect. She and Aaron discuss remote viewing, altered perception, nervous system regulation, spirituality, and nature, while examining how modern life shapes our biology and how practices that restore coherence may help us reconnect with ourselves, each other, and something greater.

Author, Naturalist and Researcher Bernie Taylor joins me to discuss our inherent paranormal nature and the storytelling fabric of our lives. Bernie breaks down his categories of what paranormal might be and explains his desire to map the past to the present when trying to understand and believe in the phenomena. He surprises me when I realize I surprised him halfway through that we were recording and then we get into the new journey that he is on and what area he is disrupting.

Nature is indifferent to my interpretations of morality and justice. We humans tend to moralize everything, but not everything has a moral. Every ending doesn't have to feel like a punishment for bad behavior. This means that some of the most painful things that have happened to you had absolutely nothing to do with your character. You didn't make mistakes and fail and deserve some painful outcome. There is power in grieving when unfair things happen to you, but there is no use in blaming yourself or asking yourself what you could have done differently beyond acquiring some wisdom for the future. If I find myself taking things extra personally, I try to remind myself that the universe doesn't work like that. Existence is confusing and chaotic and strange and unpredictable. When something bad happens it can be really easy to wonder why it happened. What we did to deserve it? Why everyone else seems to have it better and we are the target of such a painful reality?Nature doesn't work in just or kind or loving ways. It happens because of countless factors coming together in a moment of chance. Some consider this luck, but I don't think of luck as something some people have or don't. Sometimes, the wrong place at the wrong time is enough to explain the why, and there is no grand moral story at the end.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!Chelsea Ann was married to a man whose company sold for nearly a billion dollars. Homes across the world, nannies, staff, every material thing money could buy. Then came a prayer at the base of the Dalai Lama's temple, and nine months later she found herself at the Great Pyramid, hearing from a man who told her she'd spend her life teaching women something else entirely: how to return to their own nature. In this episode, Chelsea Ann and Wendy explore:What it actually looked like to walk away from a life of extreme wealth instead of toward one, and why she never expected the prayer to actually be answeredThe gap she kept finding in how women are taught, or not taught, to become mothers, and why she wrote her first two books to fill itHow her work as a menopause practitioner and her spiritual teaching intersect, and why she believes "returning to a woman's nature" is an actual practice, not just a metaphorChelsea Ann's story isn't a rags-to-riches arc, or even a riches-to-rags one. It's what happens when someone decides the life everyone else is chasing isn't the one she wants, even without a clear picture of what comes next.Connect with Chelsea Ann:ChelseaAnnEffect.comInstagram: instagram.com/chelseaanneffectGet her book, The Feminine Effect: amazon.com/Feminine-Effect-Discovering-Your-Nature/dp/163698617X?tag=syty-20Get her book, The Feminine Frequency: amazon.com/Feminine-Frequency-Nature-Awaken-Humanity/dp/163698763X?tag=syty-20See all her books here: chelseaanneffect.com/shopReferenced in this Episode:Ina May Gaskin: penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/9774/ina-may-gaskin/Conversations with God, Book 4: Awaken the Species, A New and Unexpected Dialogue: amazon.com/dp/1786781328?tag=syty-20________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

When people ask for your opinions about UFOs, are the little green men from The X-Files the first things that pop in your head?Michael Jawer, author of the upcoming book What UFOs Really Are, believes we should be less focused on aliens flying in the sky and directing our attention on our inner selves and downward to living things anchored on the ground like plants, trees and fungi. Join Paul and Michael on a wide-ranging conversation that could make you look at reality in a brand-new way this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about Michael's work on his website and Linkedin.Timestamps2:20 Michael's next book, What UFOs Really Are, coming out in December.3:39 “My myth begins with emotion.”13:51 Abnormalities like UFOs/UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) are where enigmas often meet stigmas.17:17 UAPs are forms of sentience, but not here to take over our planet.26:59 Is lucid dreaming connected to remote viewing?39:06 “The dimension that I'm most interested in is what's under the surface, or what we don't see within our own unconsciousness.”45:45 Is the unconscious poorly understood, incorrectly named or both?58:00 Does an electron or atom feel like anything?1:08:37 Michael is directing his attention inward and downward, rather than toward the skies.1:13:50 C.H.

What if the parts of reality you can't see are influencing far more than you realize? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with wellness entrepreneur Todd Shipman, who enters the world of quantum energy as a full-blown skeptic, determined to prove that much of what he is seeing is nonsense. Then he starts experimenting for himself. Todd shares the personal test that first challenges his skepticism and sends him deeper into the study of frequency, quantum energy, and quantum entanglement. What begins as an attempt to debunk the unseen becomes a much bigger exploration of how information, energy, and the physical body may interact. Emily connects Todd's work to a concept that sits at the heart of Ziva: the Unmanifest, the field beneath the physical reality we can touch and see. Together, they explore what quantum entanglement means, why the quantum field can be so difficult to put into language, and what it looks like to create a physical bridge between the seen and unseen. They also get into EMFs, manifestation, water, intention, LeelaQ's Infinity Bloc, and one of the most important questions in any conversation about the unseen: How do you stay open-minded without abandoning discernment? Emily and Todd return again and again to the balance between scientific research and lived experience, especially when something feels real before we fully understand how to measure it. If the word quantum makes one part of you curious and another part of you skeptical, this conversation gives both parts a seat at the table. In this episode, they explore: Why Todd originally thinks quantum-energy products are ridiculous The personal experiment that forces him to question his assumptions What Todd means when he talks about quantum energy and frequency Quantum entanglement and the idea that information can remain connected across distance How Emily connects the quantum field to Ziva's concept of the Unmanifest Why skepticism and discernment matter in the wellness industry EMFs, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and living in a technology-filled world What Todd says LeelaQ is studying around its quantum-energy technology The difference between research-backed claims and anecdotal experiences Working with water, intention, prayer, and the Infinity Bloc Why both Emily and Todd believe personal experience belongs in the conversation The overlap Emily sees between meditation, stress, and returning the body to its natural state Key Moments 00:00 — Why isn't everyone working with quantum energy? 01:36 — Ziva, the Unmanifest, and making the invisible physical 05:04 — Nature, nurture, and the body's “original blueprint” 12:35 — Todd's starting point: “This is ridiculous” 13:21 — The personal experiment that opens Todd's mind 23:12 — Quantum entanglement explained 42:38 — Emily asks the question she's been avoiding: What about EMFs? 47:44 — If quantum energy is everywhere, why would anyone need a device? 51:54 — Water, intention, and the Infinity Bloc 57:25 — Why so many people still hear “quantum” and think “woo-woo” 59:54 — Todd's very strange sage-and-raw-milk experiment 1:01:37 — Emily on science, personal experience, and discernment 1:06:53 — The connection Emily sees between quantum energy and meditation 1:08:10 — Todd's final thoughts on using the technology alongside meditation This episode is sponsored by LeelaQ Emily is experimenting with LeelaQ's Infinity Bloc as a physical way to engage with concepts that normally live in the unseen, placing things like water, jewelry, written intentions, and prayers inside. LeelaQ describes its technology as designed to create a harmonizing quantum-energy field.

In this episode, Morgan sits down with Danny Morel, founder of AwakenU, former multi million dollar real estate entrepreneur and one of the most unfiltered voices on identity, trauma and transformation, to unpack what it actually takes to break the patterns that no amount of achievement has ever been able to touch.Danny shares how losing his mother in 2016 cracked open everything he had been running from, why almost every overachiever is unconsciously driven by unresolved wounds rather than genuine vision and what it actually means to stop outrunning yourself and start doing the work that changes things from the inside out. He breaks down the nervous system patterns behind self sabotage, why the blocks in your money, your relationships and your body all trace back to the same root and why real transformation is never a weekend experience but a daily practice you return to.The conversation also goes deep into radical accountability, somatic healing, breathwork, why discipline is never the problem and what it looks like to finally build a life that actually feels like yours from the inside.This episode is one of the most honest and raw conversations about inner work, identity and what it means to become the person your next level actually requires.Episode Timestamps00:00 Intro01:00 Re-evaluating success and feeling empty at the top05:41 The three step awakening process05:47 Phase 1: Awaken and question everything07:34 Money as a reflection of internal energy08:01 Relationships and honest self assessment08:39 The physical body and how unhealed trauma manifests as illness10:42 Phase 2: Discovering root causes from childhood13:54 Why 99% of high achievers are driven by unresolved trauma32:06 Phase 3: Healing energy through four modalities33:34 Nature connection and grounding34:49 Meditation and calming the mind35:01 Breathwork and releasing trapped energy35:18 Plant medicine as a vehicle for connection38:31 Conscious parenting and raising healed children44:42 Strategic alignment and scaling back to under 20 hours a weekAbout Danny MorelDanny Morel is an entrepreneur, speaker and founder of AwakenU, a daily practice and live teaching platform that has guided over 200,000 people through transformation across 56 countries.

Genesis 1:1, 26-31+ God is our Wise and Good Creator “A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature.” — Astronomer Fred HoylePsalm 104:24 NIVPsalm 111:2 NIV"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." — Augustine, ConfessionsThe PulleyWhen God at first made man,Having a glass of blessings standing by,“Let us,” said he, “pour on him all we can.Let the world’s riches, which dispersèd lie,Contract into a span.”So strength first made a way;Then beauty flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure.When almost all was out, God made a stay,Perceiving that, alone of all his treasure,Rest in the bottom lay.“For if I should,” said he,“Bestow this jewel also on my creature,He would adore my gifts instead of me,And rest in Nature, not the God of Nature;So both should losers be.“Yet let him keep the rest,But keep them with repining restlessness;Let him be rich and weary, that at least,If goodness lead him not, yet wearinessMay toss him to my breast.”— George Herbert+ God is our Righteous JudgeGenesis 18:25 NIV+ God is our Gracious SaviorGenesis 3:15 + God is our Sovereign RulerGenesis 50:20

I visited Victoria Falls, which dwarfs Niagara, the extraordinary Table Mountain, and several wildlife reserves including Kruger National Park. The jeep rides through the brush yielded close encounters with female lions shepherding their cubs, male lions sleeping off meals, a leopard in a tree crunching the skull of an impala, herds of piously maternal elephants — only one of which came close to charging us — and a dozen other species of predator or prey. The high point, I'll confess, was one wildlife encounter in particular: when a troop of baboons charged the outdoor diners at The Black Marlin in Cape Town, driving them to flee, so the apes could stuff their faces with pilfered pasta. Sadly, I was sitting inside, so all I could do was cheer the hairy creatures on from through the window. Privacy Note: On play, Google may track viewers. YouTube's Privacy Policy. The Book of Nature I hope that I'm sufficiently grateful for this encounter with the baroque, sublime abundance of biology that our planet is privileged to host — alone, so far as we know, among the billions of planets. Gratitude should be aimed at a giver, and it was reading the works of Discovery Institute authors that made this easier for me. I could wonder at the tiny penguins that somehow survive in the Mediterranean climate near the Cape of Good Hope, or the birds that live symbiotically with wildebeests by feeding on bloodsucking insects, without the deflating idea lurking in the back of my mind, “This all the result of blind chance and iron necessity, with no crafting intelligence behind it.” Instead, I saw works of art, and found myself thanking the Artist. I was reading the Book of Nature, and seeing in it glimmers of divine action, intention, and generosity — as “natural philosophers” did from Kepler and Newton to Pasteur and Mendel. Back when I unreflectively adhered to the theistic (really deistic) evolution that's preached in most Christian pulpits, I accepted the notion that God was somehow behind every aspect of the cosmos. If pressed, I would have said that God had “guided” or “instigated” the emergence of extraordinary creatures like the zebras that stared at our jeep, the elegant kudus that capered past us through the veldt, the wild dogs that seemed at once so alien and so familiar that it was tempting to hop out and try petting them. (“Do not attempt this,” I was informed by our solemn African guide.) But all of life was at best a convoluted Rube Goldberg contraption, which Someone had set in motion then stepped away to observe. God even had humans in mind — deciding, for some reason, to slowly evolve His earthly image through a long chain of predecessor species, until at some point He chose to implant both rationality and immortal souls in creatures who'd mutated in and then emerged from the womb of an animal. I used to speculate about how that allegedly worked, and how I could reconcile it in some fashion with the Genesis account of God making man directly from the dust of the earth, and woman from his side. I remember thinking, lamely, “Maybe they were identical twins … and He switched Eve's sex before the ape gave birth to them?” Then I stopped bothering, encouraged by modern priests who treat not just Genesis but most of the Old Testament as mostly wholesome mythology, akin to that found in Bulfinch or Edith Hamilton. Christianizing Darwinists Obeying the dictum of 19th-century “Higher Criticism,” Christianizing Darwinists aim to explain away every claim of miraculous action — from the direct creation of man to the parting of the Red Sea, from Jesus' virgin birth to even his Resurrection. I was taught in high school that the last, most crucial Christian miracle, amounted merely to the “ongoing presence” of Jesus in his apostles' hearts and minds. Big whoop. In that sense, Adolf Hitler is still sadly with us. (If you want an account of how and why biblical critics crafted such blinders, read Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker's magisterial Politicizing the Bible, which I edited for publication.) Priests, theologians, bishops and even (recently) popes have responded to the popular triumph of Darwinism by dismissing most of the events recounted in Genesis as purely allegorical and moral. Keen to avoid being tarred as “fundamentalists,” and encouraged by some cautious leeway granted to evolutionary thinking by popes such as Pius XII and John Paul II, most Catholics have eagerly accepted that Darwin's theories fully explain the emergence of every living species, even man. Otherwise-orthodox believers have made this intellectual concession, convinced that “the science” is irrefutable, so the theology must make room for it. But what if, in fact, the science is very shaky, and the implications for a Christian worldview profoundly toxic? Those are the questions asked and convincingly answered in a new book, Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma. It's written in an extremely engaging format — a series of questions posed by science journalist Steve Greene and answered by theologian Rev. Michael Chabarek, O.P. It was Chaberek's previous book, Aquinas and Evolution, that convinced me to take intelligent design seriously, and embark on the journey through the works of Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Douglas Axe, and many others — to my profound intellectual and spiritual enrichment. This new book is every bit the equal of Chaberek's earlier work. He lays out the serious evidential weaknesses in the Darwinist claim to have explained the appearance of human beings by incremental mutations from previous apelike species. (For much more detail than this book offers, see Science and Human Origins, from Discovery Institute Press, which Chaberek cites.) He explains how circular logic and wishful thinking pervade the claims of paleontologists to have discovered non-human ancestors for our species, with periodic claims to have found a “missing link” based on tiny bone fragments of indeterminate origin. False First Principles But Chaberek's main focus is not on empirical flaws or gaps in the Darwinist account. Instead, he focuses on the false first principles that motivate, even compel Darwinists to invent their “just so” stories in the first place. Here's a sample of the straightforward, plain-speaking way that the authors convey key philosophical issues: If man did not come from the ape, then how did he come into existence? First, let us consider whether sciences such as paleontology and genetics are actually capable of providing an answer to this question. If man came into existence naturally, then, yes, because science explains the workings of nature. But if man came into existence supernaturally, that is, by the action of divine power exceeding the power of nature, then science cannot explain the beginning of man. Therefore, whether science can provide an answer to this question does not depend on scientific research, but on the previously adopted religious or philosophical assumptions. Chabarek argues convincingly that secularist and materialist assumptions precede and determine the scientific work of Darwinists, essentially forcing them to deny evidence of design, and to make impossible claims for the creative power of mutations — despite the overwhelming odds against blind chance happening upon even a single useful new protein in the entire history of life on earth (as Douglas Axe showed in exhaustive experimental detail in his book, Undeniable). When such bias-inducing reductionist assumptions migrate from the research papers of laboratory scientists into the works of Christian leaders, the consequences are even more baleful, Chabarek warns. If such a central question as the origin of the only rational species, the “image of God,” is to be surgically excised from the domain of religious authority and turned over to materialist scientists, what is to stop that same debunking impulse from undermining every mystery of faith? Should we leave Sarah's miraculous conception of Isaac to the gynecologists, the parting of the Red Sea to the oceanographers, and the resurrection of Jesus to the biologists? That's the inexorable logic of Christians who cling to Darwinist explanations of the “descent of man” from ancestral apes. Far better, Chabarek advises, for Christians who accept a long series of miracles and mysteries as entailed in the redemption of humanity to also make room for the Bible's literal account of the miracle of his creation — from the dust of the earth, by the hand of God.

What if becoming a better spearo had less to do with diving deeper or buying better gear—and more to do with learning how to actually see what's happening around you? In this episode, Shrek sits down with commercial fisherman, spearo, hunter and lifelong observer of the natural world Johnny Mitchell, with Johnny's longtime mate Tim McDonald joining the conversation. Johnny has spent decades living, fishing, hunting and observing in the bush and on the water. From commercially chasing Spanish mackerel and mud crabs to living out of a swag, caretaking Cape Capricorn lighthouse and spending countless hours simply watching animals behave, he has developed an extraordinary ability to recognise patterns in the natural world. The conversation explores awareness, natural intelligence, tides, weather, animal behaviour, sensory awareness and pattern recognition—and why asking simplistic questions like "Is the full moon better?" or "Does falling barometric pressure make fish bite?" can actually hold back your learning. Johnny explains why every productive fishing or spearfishing location has its own combination of features and conditions, and why the better question is often: Why were the fish here today—and why weren't they here yesterday? Tim also shares how Johnny's influence has completely changed the way he approaches spearfishing: shooting fewer fish, observing more, recognising short feeding windows and learning to know where to be, when to be there and why. This one goes well beyond spearfishing. It's a conversation about reconnecting with the natural world, waking up dulled senses and becoming less dependent on apps, assumptions and handed-down rules.

Discussing how Creative Placemaking can support Personal Rewilding.    Learn more about Personal Rewilding online at www.rhnaturereconnect.com Join the Personal Rewilding with Robert Hensley community on Patreon at www.patreon.com/cw/roberthensleynaturereconnectWelcome to Truth Be Told ABOUT GOING WILD. I'm your host, Robert Hensley, and this is the podcast inspired by the principles of Personal Rewilding. I recently had an opportunity to participate in a group art project curated by the National Road Heritage Corridor here in Pennsylvania. The focus of which was Creative Placemaking. It wasn't something I thought about before, but since it's been a regular passenger on my train of thought. How could Creative Placemaking be used to support the practice of Personal Rewilding? Now, Personal Rewilding is often described as a return to Nature, but it can also mean rediscovering our own capacity for curiosity, connection play, and belonging.Creative Placemaking offers a powerful way to support that process by transforming ordinary spaces into places that invite people to slow down, notice, participate, and reconnect. Creative Placemaking brings art, storytelling, design, performance, and community activity into shared environments. A neglected lot might become a community garden. Aforgotten pathway becomes an outdoor gallery. A neighborhood gathering place might host music, ecological workshops, or storytelling. These interventions do more than beautify a location. They change how people experience and relate to that place. For personal rewilding, this shift in perception is important. When we participate creatively in a landscape, we become more attentive to its rhythms, histories, plants, animals, and the people who live there.Making art from natural materials, mapping a neighborhood through memories, planting native species, or simply Gathering Outdoors can restore a sense of agency and wonder. Nature becomes less of a distant destination and more of a living relationship. Creative Placemaking can therefore help bridge the psychological divide between people and the more than human world.It encourages us to see, excuse me. It encourages us to see ourselves, not as visitors to Nature, but as participants within a living system. In this sense, personal worlding is not about escaping the built environment. It's about reimagining our place within it. Ultimately Creative Placemaking, makes rewilding social as well as personal.By creating places where people can encounter nature, culture, and one another, it helps cultivate curiosity, care, and belonging needed to be more reciprocal. With the world around us. I'd like to thank you for listening today.

Father Christopher Mahar earned a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy from Providence College in 2000 and subsequently completed his Bachelor's degree in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome in 2003. He was ordained a deacon in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome in 2003 and a priest in the Diocese of Providence in 2004. He currently serves as Pastor at St. Augustine Church in Providence, Rhode Island.  In Today's Show: I have heard that tolerance of evil is evil by its nature, because tolerance will eventually silence the good. Is that true? What exactly did Saint Augustine mean when he said: "Make me chaste but not yet"? How does Catholicism distinguish legitimate development of doctrine from simply preserving later traditions because they are old? What may change in the Church, and what may not? Someone at Mass received his host, and also a couple of other hosts and brought them to 2 other people in Mass. Is that okay? And more.

The genus Prunus gives us apricots, plums, cherries, and almonds, but also a ton of under appreciated plant diversity. Prunus around the world have managed to adapt to a surprising variety of environmental conditions and have a lot to teach us about plant evolution as a result. That is why they are the focus of Dr. Richie Hodel's lab. Join us for a wonderfully deep dive into how he and his colleagues are trying to understand the evolutionary secrets of this incredible genus.
