Podcasts about purging

The Lord revealed, "The depth of the sin and wickedness in My house is appalling.  Many of these so-called houses of worship will not survive because of the darkness and the sin that has been present for years, even decades.  They must be purged."  There is hope for other churches where sin has been allowed to encroach.  Where the Holy Spirit is not allowed to move, He cannot convict people of their sin.Additional resources are available on our website.Mark C.

Before We Dive InWriting and Recording this on September 10th — the day of the new moon, in the dark. I have absolutely no get-up-and-go. The aspects this week are going to pick that up. But right now: very on-brand for the dark moon that I am recording in it.A few important things before we get to a week that is genuinely significant.Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — I need to say something I've been sitting with. This is the seventh time I've run this class since 2017. Seven Saturn squares, seven chakras. It feels like a completion cycle, and there's a real possibility this is the last time I run it in this form. I feel immense shifts happening within me and within my work. If you have been thinking about joining, please do not wait. This one is particularly potent. I am working on the slides right now. The last time we had a Retrograde in Scorpio was 2028. That was my second class and I remember it as life changing for me and attendees. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026What you get: seven weeks, eight calls (all recorded), a course portal with pre-work videos, slides in color and black-and-white, materials you can keep. And the class itself is not just astrology — it's a heroine's journey, guided meditations that retrieve lost parts of yourself, a regeneration journey, healing tools. We follow the myth of Persephone, Demeter, and Hades, alongside Inanna, through the Venus cycle. This is the last Scorpio Venus Star Point in our lifetimes. We start October 1st.Dragon Rider tier adds a year's membership in my Spiral Codex community (beginning after the class), a 30-minute one-on-one session with me, and a personalized gift from Otter Spirit chosen based on your chart energy.Price stays at $397. I had been considering raising it — I'm not.For other presentations please see the end of the email. The Overall EnergyWe are in the week following the Virgo New Moon, the Venus sign change, the Mercury sign change, and Uranus stationing retrograde — all of which happened on September 10th. The nodes are still parked at 29° Leo/Aquarius until October 9th. The entire Aries stellium remains retrograde: Neptune, Manwë, Saturn, Pallas Athena, Eris, and Vesta. And Chiron — who has been visiting Taurus — returns to Aries on Thursday.Venus has passed the Star Point degree of 0° Scorpio that she will return to at the Cazimi on October 23rd. She is heading into the underworld, and this week's occultation — the last Moon-Venus gate before she goes retrograde — is the pivotal moment.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot by Linda Hill (Etsy, UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: Death (I Am Transition), Three of Torches, Seer of Torches reversed, and Lady of Perpetual Rebirth.The Death card and the Lady of Perpetual Rebirth bookending the week, with the Three of Torches (enthusiasm picking up) and the Seer reversed (not yet feeling your inner divinity, but the reminder to look) in between. Perfect for a week whose centrepiece is a Venus occultation at 2° Scorpio conjunct Haumea. More at the end.Day by DaySunday, September 13 — Moon in Libra. Air Grand Trine. Pallas Athena and Asteroid Lilith Square Off.We open the week with the Moon in Libra — balance, justice, how we relate, the scales.The Moon sextiles Jupiter in Leo. Jupiter was occulted by the Moon just last week at 15° Leo — the king hidden behind closed doors for transformation. Now the Moon, having moved all the way to Libra, reaches back with this fire-and-air sextile. A few more leaders with overblown egos will fall. It's time to rule from the heart. Jupiter will go retrograde in Leo and pass back over that territory. The transformation of what Jupiter represents is ongoing.The Moon squares Asteroid Lilith — who is being overtaken by Mars (in Cancer, moving forward) but is not finished. She is saying clearly: we are not going back. We are starting to move into the new paradigm. Things are starting to change.The Moon opposes Pallas Athena — the pattern-seer, the wise strategist, whose grey eyes see everything and nothing escapes them. We are starting to see the patterns more clearly now. And then Pallas Athena squares Asteroid Lilith directly — these two warriors in conversation. Pallas Athena with her strategy, Asteroid Lilith with her original equality: I was created from the same dirt. Equal. And it's time we worked from that. Restore balance.The Moon squares Mars in Cancer (more things falling or collapsing, the Libra Moon pressing for action and balance through cardinal signs) and then Ceres is opposed by Black Moon Lilith — the Great Mother and the shamed, hidden, elemental feminine in tension. Ceres is saying: move within. Take care of all your needs, met and unmet. Find what genuinely feeds you. Restore wholeness. And from that wholeness, you are more able to help create the new paradigm we're moving into.The Moon then makes a beautiful air grand trine to Hekate and Chariklo in Aquarius — the torchbearer and the cosmic doula, the way-shower and the grace-spinner, both in the sign of the future, the collective, the innovative. Ideas, new patterns, communication, social interaction — all of these weaving the new story. The path forward is through integration, through the Aquarian future, through humanitarianism and genuine care for each other.The Moon squares Juno (about to station direct — more on that Wednesday) and opposes Eris and Vesta — table-flipping and inner flame in tension with the scales of balance. Flip the inner tables first. And finally: Mars in Cancer trines Nessus — a water trine, leaching out the ancestral poisons, the old toxic patterns. Like bloodletting: get rid of them. They are holding us back.Mercury in Libra trines Uranus — an air trine at degrees very close to the first basket peak in July. Innovative new ideas. New thought, new inventions, aha moments. We are having collective awakenings in multiple ways simultaneously.I've been reading Nietzsche — Thus Spoke Zarathustra. His “God is dead” was not triumphalism; he meant that we, collectively, have killed the concept. And I find I'm glad we're moving away from the monotheistic, external, patriarchal God toward finding divinity within — moving away from intercessories. Which connects directly to the Hierophant reversed we had last week. The contracting is happening at every level.Monday, September 14 — The Venus Occultation. The Last Gate. The House-Raising Party.This is the day I most want to give space to.The Moon enters Scorpio and first opposes Chiron in Taurus before Chiron returns to Aries on Thursday. Scorpio digs deep; Chiron shows where the light gets in — the wounds around greed, materialism, our severed relationship with the senses and the earth. What does it mean to restore that balance? This is an ongoing excavation.The Sun in Virgo sextiles Mars in Cancer — Earth and water together, an opportunity for the guardian energy, the protective energy, the slow-and-meaningful energy to align with the Sun's call to purposeful, humble, stewardship-oriented action.And then: the Moon occults Venus.An occultation is like an eclipse — the Moon passes directly across the face of a planet, hiding it from view. We had the Jupiter occultation last week. Now Venus. And this is the last Moon-Venus conjunction (gate) before Venus goes retrograde — the last gate of this descent cycle.It happens at 2° Scorpio. Two is the number of the divine feminine: grace, cooperation, the receptive, the relational, the most powerful intuitive energy.Venus is conjunct Haumea — the Hawaiian creatrix goddess, the handle of Barbault's Basket, pure regeneration and rebirth. The Death card arrived in the cards this week. This is why.Venus is also square Pluto — death and rebirth energy, the shadow excavated for the buried treasure — and quincunx Neptune retrograde in Aries, making an aspect of adjustment: how have we lost connection with something essential in this long Martian-dominated era?That last point matters. The last Venus Star Point was at 2° Aries. This one is at 0° Scorpio. These are both Mars signs. And after this Scorpio Star Point — the last in our lifetimes — the Venus Star Point moves into Libra for over a hundred years, and then Pisces. Both Venusian signs. We are genuinely leaving a Martian era and entering a Venusian one. This occultation is a massive reset right at that threshold.The occultation runs from approximately 9:26am to 1:42pm Universal Time — check your local time equivalent, or simply look for when Moon and Venus are conjunct in your app.The Sabian symbol for 3° Scorpio (rounding up from 2°):A house-raising party in a small village. The village gathers not for entertainment but for the practical work of creating shelter. Many hands apply themselves to a single essential task, and the structure rises through coordinated effort. The image is purposeful and warm — a portrait of community focused on something that genuinely matters.The theme of this degree is collaborative intensity. The capacity to mobilize shared energy around a genuine need. The recognition that some structures require more than one person to build. There is a maturity here — in accepting support, and in offering it — so that what gets made is sturdy enough to last.Think of that in collective terms. Think of the Venus class. Think of community and what we're building together.The Omega symbol (Sandbach): A mysterious food, a small piece of which will satisfy hunger for days. Governed by the angel Rochel — lost and found, restitution. This degree possesses innate knowledge of what is needed to sustain life, versus what may be desired based on fantasies or addictive needs. There is something highly concentrated about this energy, so that what it may seem to be at first may be quite different from how it's experienced as it unfolds over time. It's hard to get to know, hard to assimilate, but any attempts to do so are well worth the effort.The Chandra symbol: Pigs being fed. Scorpio is the sign of desire. Overeating is often an attempt to fill what has been denied in other areas. At its best, this degree revels in what is taken in — love, a beautiful painting, a sunset, a bowl of mac and cheese. If not in deep and sincere touch with its true soul desires, it may binge chronically in an attempt to get something it never quite gets.This is the invitation of this occultation: what do you truly desire? What genuinely feeds your deepest needs? Not the addictive filling, not the binge seeking what it never quite gets — but the mysterious food, a small piece of which satisfies for days.I've been speaking with a friend about integrating Internal Family Systems work with astrology. The 8 C's of the Self: compassion, creativity, curiosity, confidence, courage, calm, connectedness, and clarity. And 5 P's: presence, persistence, perspective, playfulness, and patience. All of these are about coming into the Self — understanding yourself, accepting yourself, loving yourself — and from that place, bringing a completely different energy into the world. Rather than filling the hole. Rather than seeking from the outside what can only be found inside.After the occultation: the Moon conjuncts Haumea and squares Pluto. Then Venus conjuncts Haumea directly — the goddess of love meeting the goddess of regeneration at this threshold degree, in the deep water sign.We are being reborn.Tuesday, September 15 — Moon Gaining Light. Water Grand Trine. Neptune-Pluto Sextile.The Moon in Scorpio is gaining light now — we are past the new moon and entering the action phase. The Moon makes a water trine to Ceres — feeling our deepest needs, going very deep into our emotional world. Intense, but real.Venus at 3° Scorpio squares Pluto — she is moving into the underworld journey now. This is exactly what we'll track together in the class: Venus descending, confronting the shadow, finding the inner gold.A water grand trine forms: Moon in Scorpio, Asteroid Lilith in Cancer, Mars in Cancer, and Nessus in Pisces all in flowing conversation. Step into the interconnectedness. Wash away the old toxic patterns. These inherited poisons have been holding us back, and the water is dissolving them.Neptune and Pluto perfect another exact sextile — this ongoing aspect of collective transformation toward something more spiritual and interconnected. The building of something genuinely different is happening at the largest possible timescale, whether or not it's visible from inside the noise.The Moon squares Chariklo (helping write the new story) and sextiles the Sun — the first major Moon-Sun aspect since the new moon on the 10th. Earth and water. Creative energy coming from the depths.Wednesday, September 16 — Juno Stations Direct. Moon into Sagittarius. Hekate at the Crossroads.Venus is sextiled by Black Moon Lilith — the goddess of love and desire receiving support from the energy of the shamed and hidden wild feminine. Do the shame-and-vulnerability work. Brené Brown territory. What has been hidden in you? What has been shamed? That's what we're starting to surface as Venus approaches her retrograde.The Moon in Scorpio squares Hekate — so much retrograde energy in Aries, Hekate saying: we're not quite ready yet. The path forward involves the retrogrades. Venus and Mercury are both about to go retrograde through the same territory. After that, things will start to change in a big way — next year. But this is quite the process.The Moon reaches the anaretic 29° Scorpio and squares the Nodes at 11:48am Eastern — activating both eclipse points simultaneously. Purging more of the old attachments: to rules, to people, places, things, to the way things were. We cannot create the new until we've let go of a lot of the old.And then: the Moon enters Sagittarius. You may start to feel the shift — a little more get-up-and-go, a little more vision, a little more optimism. About time. The Sagittarius Moon shoots its arrows toward the future.Right after the ingress: Mercury in Libra squares Pholus — more things being revealed, the Pandora's box of our institutions still open. All the infighting globally, all the extremes — I genuinely believe we had to see all of this before we could create the new. The new is coming up underneath. It's just not visible from inside the chaos.The Sagittarius Moon opposes Sedna in Gemini (adapt or transform; communities renegotiating how they survive), trines Neptune, sextiles Pluto — the big agents of change, activated again.Juno stations direct. Her retrograde back into Capricorn has been reviewing our contracts with man-made laws, institutions, and structures — looking at what's out of balance, what needs to change. Now she starts moving back into Aquarius. New contracts. More meaningful ones. This is actually a significant shift.Thursday, September 17 — Chiron Returns to Aries. Moon Gains Light. Few Aspects.A quieter day in terms of number of aspects — but not in weight.Asteroid Lilith activates the water grand trine that has been building through the week — still washing out, still leaching the poisons, still saying we are not going back.The Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Mercury — opportunity for new ideas, new ways of thinking and communicating. The Moon is gaining light fast now.The Moon trines Saturn retrograde in Aries — what more old structures and self-limiting beliefs need to be released?And then, at 9:52pm Eastern: Chiron goes back into Aries. He'll be there until early 2027, revisiting territory he needs to complete before returning to Taurus for the longer stay.What does Chiron in Aries re-excavate? Wounds around the individual self, around identity, around who we are in ourselves. The message we received from the culture about what strength and individuality mean — rugged, power-over, domination — and the medicine of finding what genuine individual power actually looks like: coming from within, not over. We've been starting to find it. Chiron is going back to gather whatever bits need to be dug out before Taurus calls him back.Friday, September 18 — Venus Day. Ceres Squares Saturn. First Quarter Moon. Venus at the Basket Degree.Venus Day. And it delivers.Black Moon Lilith oscillates back into Sagittarius — freedom-restriction-freedom. The oscillating tension between the institutions' grip on us and the wild elemental self.Mercury in Libra squares Ceres in Cancer — what genuinely feeds us? What are our needs, and how do we take responsibility for meeting them? Not waiting for others to do it. This is the thesis of my Ceres book.Vesta and Eris meet again — devotion and focus meeting the original table-flipper. The most important place to flip the tables first is within. Those attachments to old rules, to needing someone else to tell you what to do or what to believe. You can have support. But being told what to think is different from being helped to understand.Mercury opposes Saturn — words and thoughts facing the structures and rules. The mythology of rugged individualism, manifest destiny, the hero's journey as the only journey. Write something new. Something more harmonious for everyone.Ceres squares Saturn at 13° Aries/Cancer — and this is an echo worth noting. When Ceres was discovered on January 1st, 1801, she was square Saturn in Leo — the sign of kings. I have always felt that her discovery chart encoded the eventual fall of kings and dominant leaders: Ceres, the Great Mother, at odds with the rules of the king. Now they square each other again, in cardinal signs. Ceres in Cancer: family, home, ancestors, the needs of the people. Saturn in Aries: rugged individualism, the old rules. Cardinals square: initiating something new. You may see another fall from grace around this day. The echo aspects are potent.The Sun in Virgo trines Juno at her station point — the Virgo Sun, wanting to do the right thing, in flowing conversation with our sacred contracts. More meaningful contracts are possible. This is the energy of building something sturdy.And: Venus is at 4° Scorpio — the first peak degree of Barbault's Basket. She is exactly at the degree where all four outer planets gathered in July. Venus leading the way, as always, into what's next.The day closes with the First Quarter Moon at 25° Sagittarius, squaring the Sun in Virgo. The action phase beginning in earnest. The crossroads.The Sabian symbol (26° Sagittarius): A flag-bearer in battle. This degree represents courageous dedication to principles bigger than yourself. The flag is not a tool of devastation — it's a symbol of shared values. Immutable signs with the Sun in Virgo: what is more meaningful? What is more useful? How do we create the future together around these bigger principles? Courage under pressure. Commitment to values. And the oxygen-mask wisdom: put yours on first, then put some personal wants aside for the greater good.The Omega symbol: A candle mysteriously undisturbed by wind. Sandbach titles this degree Beyond Mind. Thoughts are like wind — they push against everything and create turbulence. When you gain the power to detach from busy mind, there is an increasing steadiness that brings you closer to spiritual clarity. This degree carries a creative vision that is impervious to the agitations of inner voices.The Chandra symbol: Climbing the steps of the Pyramid of the Sun. To ascend — not by flying, but in a more substantial way, with something solid under your feet. This is about finding meaning and purpose and following the highest and clearest vision of it. Getting beyond what is shallow, superficial, and trivial can be arduous — but this meets the challenge with steadiness and purpose.Steadiness. Solid ground. A vision impervious to wind. A commitment to something bigger than yourself.That is your First Quarter Moon.Saturday, September 19 — Moon into Capricorn. Venus Receives the Moon's Grace. The Week Closes.The Moon moves into Capricorn overnight and closes the week with its early morning aspects.After the First Quarter, the Moon makes a fire trine to Chiron in Aries — just returned. Visionary, purposeful, the Sagittarius spirit meeting the medicine. What medicine do you need to create this vision? What healing is required for the steadfast purpose beginning to form?Juno has moved exactly one minute forward from her station — barely, but she's moving. New contracts are beginning.The Moon squares Eris and Vesta early — the tables are being flipped again, the inner flame is being tended. We are creating new structures. More revelations may surface today, including possibly the Epstein files re-emerging.In Capricorn, the Moon squares Neptune (retrograde in Aries) early in the morning — Neptune saying let go of the me-first attitude, the power-over energy. Create something genuinely new from here. And then the Moon makes a lovely unbroken flow trine to Venus — the Moon and Venus in earth and water, in gentle supportive conversation. All of this moving toward the retrograde. All of it connected.The Cards in DetailDeath — I Am Transition:A time of endings. Old lives, shared and beloved, are changing or gone. There may be some loss and pain this week — personally, culturally, collectively. Death and mourning is a process. Acceptance builds slowly as we lament and grieve for what was. But transformation beckons.Soon, you will start to feel the blood in your veins, and know that you are alive and have this big life journey to complete. In these extraordinary times that we are in.The Death card arrived at the same time as the Venus occultation conjunct Haumea. Regeneration, rebirth, the creatrix goddess. One cannot be separated from the other.Three of Torches (Wands) — I Am Enthusiasm:The Sagittarius energy is coming. You can feel it building from Wednesday onward — the arrow being drawn back, the vision beginning to form. The Three of Torches is that moment: enthusiasm. Grabbing it by the horns. You may feel less like lying on the mat in a quiet room — the life force returning.Seer of Torches, reversed — Reminder of Inner Radiance:Upright, the Seer of Torches is I Am Divine — the knowing that you are a divine being having a human experience, the natural inner radiance that doesn't need external validation. Reversed this week: you're probably not quite feeling this inner selfhood yet. You're not quite there yet with that inner divinity. That's okay. This is just a reminder: it's there. Look within. Notice your inner radiance, even just briefly. It hasn't gone anywhere.Lady of Perpetual Rebirth (Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins):Death comes for all of us — but this isn't a death card. It's a rebirth card.It's an invitation to clean and clear what needs to end, in order to welcome the new. What ideas or beliefs have become weighty, overwhelming, outdated? What thoughts no longer fit you? What convictions cause exhaustion or even illness when you embody them?Our Lady of Perpetual Rebirth is here to usher out the old and midwife the new.Pay special attention to your dreams. There are signs and symbols showing themselves to you right now that will indicate what wants to be loosened and released. The new vision, new awareness, new life that is circling you will also send out strong signals. Pay attention. Listen. Watch. Observe.This is the time to let go of what no longer serves.A witch can welcome death with the same enthusiasm a moth displays when flying into fire. She hurls herself towards her own endings, knowing her next beginnings live inside the fire of her passion — the heat of longing, calling her forward.Summing UpThe last Venus Gate before the retrograde — an occultation at 2° Scorpio, the divine feminine number, conjunct Haumea the regeneratrix, square Pluto, adjustment to Neptune. A house-raising party. A mysterious food that satisfies for days. Pigs being fed, or not, depending on whether they're in touch with their true soul desires.Juno stations direct. Chiron returns to Aries. Ceres and Saturn square at the echo of her discovery chart. The First Quarter Moon at the flag-bearer degree, the candle undisturbed by wind, the climbing of the pyramid with solid ground underfoot.And four cards that say: something is ending. The enthusiasm is coming back. Your inner radiance is there, even if you can't feel it yet. And the witch hurls herself toward her own endings, because she knows her next beginnings are already inside the fire.See you at the retrograde. Join me in the Heroine's Journey.

Media information about this sermon Title: Purging The Floor And Gather The Wheat Into The GarnerTamil: களத்தை விளக்கி கோதுமையைக் களஞ்சியத்தில் சேர்த்தல்Type: MediaAuthor: Assoc. Pastor S. Calvin FinnyLanguage: TamilEvent: Sunday WorshipSession: Evening @ 5:30 PMTotal Duration: 2 Hours 9 Minutes Note: For any questions, please reach us from here

We finish the final point on last week's lesson on Pruning UNFRUITFUL branches out of our life before diving into when Jesus said he purges FRUITFUL branches. What does that look like in our life? We end with a challenge to be undertaken over the next three weeks.

In this episode we delve into the bilateral relationship between oral health and psychiatry. Dr. Ava Carter brings a rare dual perspective as a consultation-liaison psychiatrist and practicing dentist, while Professor Kisely explains why oral health has been overlooked for far too long in medicine and psychiatry. Together, they discuss why poor access to dental care is becoming a crisis for patients who already face the steepest barriers, and how psychiatrists and carers can help those who are struggling with both mental and oral health. Dr Ava Carter : Dr Ava Carter is a dental surgeon and consultation liaison psychiatrist. She is passionate about collaborating to improve outcomes and steer system change in healthcare organisations, and is driven to elevate the voices of those with lived and living experience of mental health and complex medical conditions. She is particularly passionate about governance, accreditation, and is a strong believer that the intersection of these areas with clinicians expertise helps organisations best serve their communities. She has recently completed a Churchill Fellowship on models of care for people with Severe Mental Illness and innovative ways to find solutions to accessing dental care. Professor Stephen Kisley: Professor Kisely is a psychiatrist and public health physician with health services research experience in the UK, Australia & Canada. After graduating from the University of Bristol, he worked in New Zealand in various medical and surgical specialties, before starting psychiatric training in Auckland. He finished his psychiatric training in Western Australia & Manchester, including a Masters degree by research on atypical chest pain. While working as a lecturer in psychiatry he completed a research Doctorate on the effect of physical disorder on psychiatric outcome in primary care. Professor Kisely worked at the Universities of Western Australia and Dalhousie University in Canada before returning to Australia in 2007.Topic suggestion:If you have a topic suggestion or would like to participate in a future episode of Psych Matters, we'd love to hear from you.Please contact us by email at: psychmatters.feedback@ranzcp.orgDisclaimer:This podcast is provided to you for information purposes only and to provide a broad public understanding of various mental health topics.  The podcast may represent the views of the author and not necessarily the views of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists ('RANZCP').

What if the key to healing trauma, addiction, depression, and other deeply rooted emotional patterns lies beyond the tools of conventional medicine? In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Dr. Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia and a pioneer at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous plant medicine, to explore the transformative potential of ayahuasca. Dr. Jeff explains how this powerful medicine may influence the brain, including synaptic plasticity, while emphasizing the critical importance of safety, screening, intention, and the “set and setting” surrounding the experience. He also shares insights into trauma, women's emotional health, supporting highly sensitive people, and why some individuals may be drawn to plant medicine after conventional approaches haven't delivered lasting results. Whether you're curious about ayahuasca or simply interested in the future of mental and emotional healing, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at what may be possible when we expand the definition of medicine.Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H. is a pioneer in the mental health revolution and Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia, the world's first and only medically licensed ayahuasca retreat. With over 18,000 success stories and a 98% transformation rate, Dr. Jeff is leading the healing work at Rythmia, guiding people from all walks of life - including doctors, veterans, therapists, and those who have tried everything else toward emotional breakthroughs, recovery from trauma, and lasting transformation.Supported by influential figures such as Kelly Slater, MLK III, Jack Canfield and comedian Ron White, who serve on the board, along with Hollywood A-listers like Terrence Howard, Rythmia helps individuals reconnect with their true selves in a way that traditional medicine often overlooks. For over 25 years, Dr. Jeff has worked at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous medicine, helping thousands break free from PTSD, addiction, and depression. As a former Clinical Director of Passages Malibu, the world's most successful luxury rehab center, he's seen firsthand where traditional treatments fail - leading him to explore the power of alternative therapies.SHOW NOTES:0:48 Welcome to the podcast!2:47 ABout Dr. Jeff McNairy3:50 Welcome him to the show!4:40 Why Ayahuasca?5:55 About Iboga7:13 How Ayahuasca works9:24 Who it's not for12:25 Pre-trip cardiac work-up 14:28 Safety at Rythmia15:16 Schizophrenia17:19 Indigenous cultural practices19:15 When Westerners take Aya19:59 About Shamanism22:49 Importance of Set & Setting25:26 Abuse & trauma in plant medicine28:27 Women's emotional & mental health30:49 First discovery of Ayahuasca33:31 Mechanisms of Action36:50 Synaptic plasticity37:55 Purging on Ayahuasca44:39 How to prepare for visiting Rythmia47:20 The main reasons people do Aya51:30 Rythmia facilities & schedule57:08 Supporting Empaths1:07:25 Dosing Aya1:11:40 Where to learn more1:15:24 Ayahuasca in a nutshell1:16:40 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: RythmiaFacebookInstagramTikTokYouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Matt Spiegel and Ryan McGuffey discussed how the Bears' 53-man roster only has 20 players on it who preceded head coach Ben Johnson's arrival in Chicago.

There has been a noticeable recent surge of activity among data-mining companies or individuals who analyze publicly available government data for potential signals of fraud, rather than the insiders who have traditionally served as relators under the federal False Claims Act (FCA).As such, the venerable U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has a new process in place to mitigate the trend. It's called Fraud Oversight through Careful Use of Statistics, (FOCUS), which will be the topic of a new report from Mary Inman, who is scheduled to be the special guest on the next edition of Monitor Mondays.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Adam Brenman, legislative affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.

On this episode of the Plant Cunning Podcast, herbalist and astrologer Cameron Allen returns to discuss his recent travels and to share updates on his ongoing studies in Ayurveda and Unani Tibb. Cameron explains Unani Tibb as Greco-Arabic (Greek) medicine, clarifying the distinctions between elements, temperaments (mizaaj), and humors, and emphasizes temperament as a dynamic intermixture shaped by environment, time, and life experience. The conversation explores why blending medical and astrological systems can create confusion, how modern astrology often reduces meaning to psychology, and why coherence and consulting skills matter. They examine North American “dryness” as a cultural and lifestyle pattern, discuss practical ways to work with melancholic imbalance and grief, and Cameron previews his upcoming UAC talks on luminaries in medical astrology and remedy-generation approaches.00:00 Welcome Back Cameron00:32 Summer Travels And Retreat01:36 Embodied Sexual Leadership03:32 Ayurveda And Unani Studies06:42 What Is Unani Tibb10:34 Modern Western Astrology Debate14:34 Mixing Systems In Herbalism19:22 Coherence And Elemental Language22:19 Temperament As Intermixture26:19 Core Vs Changing Constitution29:31 Environment As Medicine32:51 Consulting Skills And Teaching Vision36:12 Why We Get Dry38:08 Diet and Drying Foods38:38 Hot vs Cold Metabolism40:17 Reading Dryness in Charts42:38 Purging and Nourishing Traditions44:41 Warming Melancholic Gently48:14 Grief as Melancholic Medicine50:38 Helping Grief Move Through53:31 Saturn and Grief Mastery56:20 Temperaments Elements Humors58:57 Body Types by Temperament01:01:27 Planetary Degrees and Venus01:04:03 Planets as Elemental Landscapes01:05:35 Moon Layers Explained01:06:23 Moon Phases Temperament01:08:46 Physiognomy Rising Signs01:11:43 Reading Bodies Nonverbal01:15:14 Movement Practice Evolution01:18:34 Astrology Community Healing01:23:35 UAC Talks Preview01:26:33 Honest Synthesis Ahead01:28:56 Closing Thanks

Preserve a picture when that's enough. Give things to people who actually want them. Then move forward.

All money is not created equal. Tolerating toxic clients out of a scarcity mindset actively destroys your company culture. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why holding onto abusive clients ruins employee morale and how purging your roster creates space for elite whales. You cannot allow a bad client to constantly break your standard operating procedures. When you protect bad money, you lose your best operators. Firing a client does not have to be an emotional argument. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why keeping toxic clients out of fear destroys your team's morale • How allowing scope creep causes your employees to lose respect for your leadership • Why you must establish a mechanical, emotionless off-boarding process • How purging the bottom tier of your roster creates a vacuum for dream clients The truth is simple: Your sanity is worth more than a toxic invoice. Draw the line. Remove the emotion. Fire the headache. Make room for the dream clients who actually respect you. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

ESPN layoffs are a purge — and it's about the Super Bowl, not race. Jason Whitlock breaks down the ESPN purge: Ryan Clark, Cam Newton, and others are pushed out while Stephen A. Smith is de-emphasized as ESPN protects its first Super Bowl. Everyone screaming "racism" is missing it. This was economic. ESPN married the NFL, watched the Jay-Z and Bad Bunny halftime era bleed the ratings, and started cleaning house. From the 2020 George Floyd-inspired surge to today's crackdown, Whitlock connects eight years of dots — and delivers the biblical warning about the golden calf ESPN is betting its soul on. ➢ Show Outline 00:00 - ➢ Follow Our GUESTS https://www.youtube.com/@DreAllDay https://www.youtube.com/@coachjb  https://x.com/SteveKim323 https://x.com/DelanoSquires  ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media:  https://x.com/JasonWhitlock  https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email FearlessBlazeShow@gmail.com ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.

What does it mean to be a vessel of honor versus a vessel of dishonor? Why does my usefulness matter to God? How do I purge myself so I can be prepared for every good work? What does God actually call me as a believer?Key points from this devotion:- The great house in 2 Timothy 2 represents the whole body of Christ, the church of God- Vessels of gold and silver represent honorable, useful believers- One's usefulness is the determining factor of honor in God's house- Believers are called saints, lights, soldiers, disciples, and Christians — each name carries purpose- To be meet for the master's use, we must purge ourselves from what contaminates and makes us uselessIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, and share it with a friend or loved one.

This is one of the most intense and sobering episodes we've ever done.Using “canonical event synthesis,” we combine multiple scriptures (Parable of the 10 Virgins, Matthew 7, Luke 13, Revelation 13 & 17, Daniel 11, D&C 45, and more) to paint a clearer picture of the last days.The conclusion is heavy:Many (possibly most) Latter-day Saints will be deceived by a false Christ.The “5 foolish virgins” represent covenant members who fall for the deception.Satan's “mistress” is the portion of the Church that turns away.We also discuss current world events, the potential division of America, and — most importantly — how to actually avoid being deceived.This episode will challenge you. Watch with the Spirit.What do you think — is this interpretation possible?#LastDays #10Virgins #Antichrist #WardRadio #BookOfMormonChapter Markers00:00 - Intro: Satan Has a Mistress03:16 - The Parable of the 10 Virgins – Key Details We Usually Miss05:58 - “Lord, Lord” – The Language of the Veil07:57 - Why Were the 5 Foolish Virgins Unprepared?10:34 - The Bridegroom Tarries – The Second Coming Will Be Later Than Expected11:45 - Matthew 7: “Lord, Lord” and Workers of Iniquity14:19 - The Sermon on the Mount as an Encoded Endowment18:54 - Luke 13 – Additional Details About the Same Event23:08 - Luke 12 – What's on the Other Side of the Door?25:39 - Revelation 19 & 22 – The Righteous vs. the Rejected29:08 - Murder, Sexual Sin & the Unpardonable Sin33:37 - 2 Nephi 9:41 – Jesus Christ Himself Stands at the Veil36:22 - Matthew 22 – The Man Without a Wedding Garment40:26 - The Invitees Become the Murderers42:21 - Luke 14 – Complacency & the Curse of Proximity to Temples44:15 - Satan's 5-Phase Plan to Get Latter-day Saints to Worship Him47:48 - Jacob 5 & the Purging of the Church50:34 - Genesis 7 (Noah) – Another Account of the Same Event57:35 - Matthew 24:37 – “As It Was in the Days of Noah”59:23 - The Missing Piece: Why the 5 Foolish Virgins Ran Out of Oil01:00:53 - D&C 45:56-57 – They Were Deceived01:02:07 - The Big Reveal: Satan's Mistress01:03:43 - Matthew 24 – False Christs & False Prophets01:10:17 - The Antichrist in the Book of Mormon & New Testament01:12:44 - 2 Thessalonians 2 (JST) – The Man of Sin01:19:31 - A Falling Away First – Not Just the Great Apostasy01:23:55 - Revelation 13 – The Beast & the False Prophet01:31:54 - 1 Nephi 14 – The Church of the Lamb vs. the Church of the Devil01:34:34 - Revelation 17 – The Beast That Was, Is Not, Yet Is01:39:05 - Daniel 11 – The Eight Kings Prophecy01:46:24 - Current Events: Iran, the U.S. & the “Ram” Prophecy01:52:20 - The Division of America Into Four Parts?01:56:34 - The 7th & 8th Kings – How Close Are We?02:02:32 - The Antichrist Establishes His Own Church02:04:58 - How to Not Be Deceived (The Only Real Protection)02:10:40 - Final Warning & Closing ThoughtsJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick welcomes Dr. Alex Priou to discuss Book 22 of the Odyssey, the Slaughter of the Suitors.Check out our LIBRARY of written guides to the Great Books.Check out Dr. Priou's new Substack: The Close Read.What happens in Book 22?Odysseus stands at the threshold of his home, cries out to Apollo, and lets loose an arrow straight through the neck of Antinous (22.15). Chaos erupts in the hall as bread and meats are soaked in a swirl of bloody filth (22.21). Eurymachus attempts to broker a truce with Odysseus, but it is rejected (22.57); he then calls the suitors to arms and is slaughtered (22.73). Telemachus brings armor and weapons to his father, the swineherd, and the cowherd (22.121), but the goatherd sneaks weapons to the suitors (22.151).On his second run, the cowherd and swineherd intercept the goatherd, tie him up, and hang him from the rafters (22.196). Athena first arrives in the guise of Mentor (22.217) and then perches like a sparrow on the rafters, assisting Odysseus with her man-destroying shield of thunder (22.250). The suitors fall into panicked madness as Odysseus and his men wheel into the slaughter, slashing left and right, with grisly screams breaking from cracked skulls and the floor awash with blood (22.311).Odysseus spares the bard and the herald but shows no mercy to the prophet (22.327). The slaughter complete, Eurycleia summons the disloyal female servants, who help carry out the corpses and clean the gore (22.458–471). Telemachus oversees the disloyal women being slowly hanged in the courtyard—a pitiful, ghastly death (22.487)—while the goatherd is retrieved and mutilated to death by the swineherd and cowherd (22.500). Odysseus purifies his home with fire and brimstone (22.518), and the book ends with the loyal maidservants surrounding their king as he breaks down and weeps (22.528).Chapters:00:00 Introduction to the Great Books Podcast04:40 Exploring the Odyssey: Book 22 Overview06:58 The Role of the Gods in the Odyssey09:55 Justice and Revenge in the Slaughter of the Suitors12:54 Imagery of Food and Gore in Homer14:49 The Cyclops Narrative and Guest Friendship18:51 Antinous: The First Death and Its Implications22:36 The Role of Recognition in Justice25:05 Eurimachus and the Plea for Mercy29:18 Piety and the Restoration of Order32:53 The Political Landscape of Ithaca33:48 Purging and the New Order in Ithaca34:18 The Balance of Power and Leadership Lessons35:24 Pedagogical Journeys: Odysseus and His Men37:39 Divine Endorsement and the Purging of the Unworthy39:35 Odysseus's Transformation: From Arrogance to Understanding41:36 The Role of Recognition in Identity43:08 The Consequences of Identity and Wisdom46:29 The Tragedy of Odysseus and Penelope48:42 Telemachus's Growth and Inexperience53:12 Divine Justice and the Nature of the Fight58:11 The Role of Prophecy and Piety in Justice01:05:23 The Nature of Piety and Accountability01:06:59 Eros and the Path to Ascent01:09:52 Self-Reflection and the Nature of Desire01:13:10 Justice and the Fate of the Maidservants01:23:36 The Consequences of Disloyalty01:30:37 Recognition and Political RuleDiscussion:Dr. Priou and Dcn. Garlick examine the justice of the slaughter, noting that while Antinous dies without recognizing Odysseus, the goatherd Melanthius suffers one of the most gruesome tortures in Homer—strung up and mutilated in language echoing the barbaric king Echetus. They discuss the hanging of the disloyal maidservants, Telemachus's role in their execution, and why such violence may be necessary to purge disloyalty and restore order. Key themes include the restoration of piety, the shift from a decayed oligarchic rule by the suitors to a new natural aristocracy involving loyal servants, Odysseus' pedagogical journey, and the tension between recognition, glory, and the establishment of a stable political regime supported by fear of the gods.Overall, the episode portrays Homer as a profound teacher on the ugly necessities of justice and political founding.The speakers reflect on how the book repudiates certain Iliadic values like vaunting over the slain, emphasizes cleansing and purification, and sets the stage for the final books. Dr. Priou highlights Odysseus's cunning, the limits of rhetoric, and the need to curtail eros for civilized life, while both Dr. Priou and Dcn. Garlick encourage listeners to confront uncomfortable questions about revenge, mercy, and the role of divine and human violence in re-founding a polity.Next week our 12-week study of the Odyssey ends with Books 23-24!

A little something different this week. I pulled the best moments from a recent Wednesday TikTok Live and brought them straight to your ears. Think of it as a rapid-fire Q&A — purging, pigmentation, first-time retinoids, body shaving care, and a whole lot of "please stop adding products before you've maxed out the ones you have." As always, every product mentioned is linked below, plus all the ways to work with me and grab your free skin tracker.

Dear Paul Krugman,You used to be the kind of journalist I thought was telling the truth. I looked up to you, as I did so many writers at the New York Times. I was a different person then. That was before everything changed. The year was 2020, a summer of riots and a breakthrough moment when many of us realized for the first time that the Gray Lady was not telling us the truth.I have been on the internet for 30 years. I watched the collapse of traditional media and the rise of opinion-based journalism, the kind you do, Paul. Do you mind if I call you Paul? Mr. Krugman sounds so formal, and really, I'd like for you to see me as a human being, someone worthy of your attention and respect.Now that I have confirmation of what I've assumed all along, that people like you, Kara Swisher, Peter Baker, and Susan Glasser would like people like me thrown into re-education camps or gulags, I feel it's worth the extra effort to get you to see real people again.To the horror of many, you went viral last week for your comments on what all of you will do with Trump supporters and the system that elected him. It was ugly, Paul. As ugly as anything I've seen written by a high-minded journalist and certainly closer to what the Nazis believed about the Jews than anything I've seen in my lifetime:“Purging of the United States, we need a de-MAGAfication. I'm not going over the top by using a word that's very similar to the de-Nazification that we pursued successfully after World War Two in Germany. It's not just the MAGA ideology, but the whole structure of hugely unequal power, hugely unequal wealth that made this horrific moment possible. It's not going to be easy, but, and maybe it's not going to be doable, but we have to try, because this is an absolute, this is a nightmare, this is the nightmare beyond, I think, even the worst fantasies of progressives, beyond the worst fantasies of conservatives, who still have a conscience, there still are plenty of those, but they're no longer MAGA. This has to be turned around, and we should not, above all, whitewash or forget this moment. This is where a lot of forces in America have been leading, and if we don't do something beyond just getting rid of Trump, it's going to happen again.”It can't have been easy, watching Trump win a second time and this time the popular vote, or to admit you are no longer relevant and that the only value you have is in giving the base of the Democratic Party their daily dose of hate and fear. Why didn't Americans listen to your constant bleating about the end of the world? That's an important question to ask, Paul.After all, they're your most popular videos.Your Substack, with over 500K subscribers, is no less alarmist:It looks like your Substack is paying you more than you made at the Times, that's for sure. So why not keep pumping it out, day after day, like a broken record — fear, hysteria, hatred, more fear, more hatred. What could possibly go wrong? You all seem certain you're about to take back power and put things back where they belong. The only question you seem to have on your lips is not how we can better address the needs of the people, but what you will do with all of those MAGAts.You don't even pretend there is a whole country or even half of a country that voted all of you out, not once but twice. You have no shame in admitting you see yourselves as better than the working-class half of America. You fully admit it. You bask in it. You know your power, Paul, and that's maybe the only true thing you know about yourself.So let me set you straight on a few things. You are not the Allied Forces after World War II, and Trump is not now, nor has he ever been, Hitler. The closest thing to Fascism this country has ever seen is with all of you in power. It became “all sticks of wood bound together as one,” a “fasci,” with all elements of our society mandating conformity or else. Your side ruled through fear and violence, and still does. You violently beat Trump supporters and feel emboldened to do so, just like Hitler's Brown Shirts. You probably never even knew that in 2015, Trump supporters were beaten and harassed and called Nazis. On the Left, there is no such thing as free thought and speech, which is why cancel culture collapsed the empire and why Tyler Robinson had to silence Charlie Kirk. So who are the real fascists, Paul? On your side, thought and speech are heavily policed throughout our culture. Everyone is tracked, monitored, and under constant surveillance lest they like the wrong tweet, follow the wrong person on social media, or read the wrong news outlet. Just because people like you cosplay that ICE is the Gestapo doesn't make it so. It took 80 years for the world to forget about the Holocaust. But no one should ever forget what that looked like, and it wasn't mass deportations or even detaining a five-year-old or shooting Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Shame on you. Shame on all of you for even suggesting that what we've just lived through is on any level the same as what happened during World War II. 70-80 million people were killed. 600,000 in America alone. Even the war in Gaza can't compare, and shame on anyone who suggests it's the same. None of this should have to be said to a man who enjoys high status inside utopia, a well-educated elite who lives on the Upper West Side and enjoys a decent retirement while he's discarding half of America like human garbage. You tell me who the real Nazis are.You don't have to tell me. I already know. I escaped the suffocating dystopia that you live in. I escaped the world that no longer knows the meaning of important words like fascist, Nazi, dictator, king, and pedophile, never mind man or woman. I escaped that world because the truth always mattered to me more than being liked, making money, or having status.I can't say the same for you, Paul, or any one of your former colleagues at the Times. We're watching the destruction of legacy media in real time, just one of the pillars of your now collapsing empire. Trump won because ordinary Americans can't stand living under the oppressive thumb of the high and mighty, like yourself.I didn't see what kind of power we all had until 2020. We had built a Shining Woketopia on the Internet that gave us complete control of all institutions of power - educational, cultural, corporations, and institutions. We thought we could shape the America we dreamed of. The problem was that there was a whole other America outside our bubble, and it took Donald Trump to ignite a populist revolt. The idea that this was about racism and bigotry was a lie. It was never Hitler invading. You were never the resistance. You've been living in a dream world of your own making. You destroyed yourselves trying to destroy Trump. The real story of the last ten years will never be told by any of you, much less seen or understood.I still see signs of the MAGA I know. I just saw one near the memorial site for the deadly battle of Antietam. From the middle of America, on the side of a store just living out their ordinary days near the ghosts of profound history, this:I am no longer welcome in your world, Paul. Some days, that hurts more than others. But when I see what you have become, calling for a “purge” and “de-MAGAfication, I know you don't know this country anymore. You've been isolated for too long, and you've been participating in a decade-long deception.I also know I have the truth on my side, and that makes me the lucky one.// This is a public episode.

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Shining the Grid: Galactic Counterparts, Intuition, Dragons, and Trusting the Shift Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Tiffany Open the Metaphysical Hour In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, host Julia Cannon is joined by co-host Tracie Mahan and question moderator Tiffany for a live question-and-answer discussion. Julia and Tracie invite listeners to share where they are watching from, describing each location as a light on the planetary grid. As callers and viewers check in from places such as Arkansas, Canada, Boston, Seattle, Oregon, Florida, New York, San Francisco, Missouri, Philadelphia, Texas, Kansas, Australia, Michigan, Tennessee, Iowa, Tasmania, Scotland, Puerto Rico, Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, and Chicago, the hosts frame the gathering as a collective act of shining heart light and strengthening the energetic grid. Manifestation, Gratitude, and the Energy Update Before taking questions, Tracie gives an energy update, saying that something is shifting and that delayed manifestations may not mean prayers are unanswered. Instead, she suggests that something larger or better may be forming behind the scenes. Julia connects this with the importance of gratitude, trust, and becoming an energetic match to what one wants to manifest. The hosts emphasize that impatience and doubt can blur a person's intention, while clarity, faith, and alignment help support the manifestation process. Galactic Counterparts and Other Aspects of Self The first major question concerns whether everyone has a galactic counterpart and how to sense or connect with one. Julia and Tracie interpret the idea as relating to other aspects of the self existing in other dimensions, planets, or galactic identities. They discuss Pleiadian, Sirian, mantis, and other star-being connections, while emphasizing that these beings may not simply be external entities but other versions or expressions of one's own soul. Tracie shares examples from client sessions in which people encountered beings who appeared to be connected to them as family, guides, or alternate versions of themselves. The hosts also consider whether an orb seen during childhood could have been an aspect of the questioner's own galactic self. Staying Present During Busy Family Life When a listener asks how to stay present while raising children and managing a busy household, Tracie suggests beginning the day with a grounding practice, even if it requires waking up a few minutes earlier. She describes using oracle cards and journaling to connect with herself and her helpers before the day became busy. Julia adds that being present means focusing fully on the task at hand instead of mentally jumping ahead to everything else that must be done. Both hosts encourage listeners to bring playfulness, mindfulness, and intention into ordinary chores, family time, and even interactions with animals. Advice for a “Baby Psychic” Another question asks what advice the hosts would give to someone newly waking up psychically. Tracie says the most important advice is to trust yourself. She explains that people may receive strong inner knowing but then second-guess it because of outside opinions or uncertainty. Julia adds that a beginning intuitive should learn to recognize what energy belongs to them and what does not, especially as sensitivity increases. The hosts recommend practicing with friends, oracle cards, palmistry, environmental symbols, and everyday impressions, treating everything as a possible tool for learning rather than pressuring oneself to be right. Symbols, Background Objects, and Intuitive Practice Julia and Tracie demonstrate how ordinary objects can become intuitive prompts. Tracie notices a pink candle behind Julia and begins interpreting its possible symbolic meaning, including love, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and illumination. The hosts explain that this kind of exercise can help people learn how spirit, intuition, and the environment work together. Instead of dismissing impressions, they encourage listeners to ask what stands out, what it means personally, and how it may reflect something in one's own life or energy field. Dragons, Dragon Keepers, and the School of Dragons A listener asks for general discussion about dragons, and Tracie immediately senses a purple dragon energy. She and Julia discuss their long-running connection with dragons and recall earlier messages that dragons were waking up and becoming more involved. Tracie explains that some people discover themselves to be dragon keepers, not in the sense of controlling dragons, but as keepers of dragon secrets or dragon wisdom. She senses that the questioner may have a strong connection to multiple dragons, describing a “school of dragons” flying around waterfalls and cliffside spaces. Julia connects the imagery to Avatar and How to Train Your Dragon, noting that films and stories often help humanity become familiar with deeper truths through fantasy. Rapid Manifestation, Purging, and Surrender The hosts also respond to a question about rapid manifestation, telepathic communication, and energetic work during sleep. Tracie says a new energy does seem to be present, but adds that it may come with purging and healing. If someone has already been releasing old patterns, the energy may feel more manifesting; if not, it may feel like pressure to let go. Julia and Tracie discuss how people often resist change because familiar discomfort can feel safer than the unknown. They say that when the universe applies pressure, it may be because a person's higher self has already chosen a path, and surrender allows the next steps to begin falling into place. Taking Back Power and Releasing Attachments Near the end, Julia and Tracie discuss difficult relationships, unfair situations, and the way people may feel forced into choices they do not want to make. They explain that some of the hardest people in life may be playing roles that help push a person toward growth, even if those roles feel painful or unfair. They also talk about attachment, saying that when someone or something appears to have power over a person, it may be because the person has given power to that attachment. The hosts encourage listeners to examine what they are afraid to release and consider whether walking away, surrendering, or reclaiming power could open a more aligned path. Retreats, QHHT, Soul Speak, and Closing Resources The episode closes with announcements about upcoming opportunities, including a retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from September 3–7, information available at qhhtofficial.com, and a discount code for the retreat. Julia also mentions QHHT practitioner resources, sessions, and training, while Tracie mentions her own website and upcoming intuitive development offerings. The hosts direct listeners to Soul Speak resources as well and thank Tiffany and the audience for participating in the live discussion.

In this episode, I talk about how to stop purging through self-induced vomiting. I give practical steps to break this habit and talk about my own recovery journey from bulimia.

Pete Davidson's messy break-up, are Harry Styles and Charli XCX purging fans, and what the hell are the enhanced games?Hi friends! After a quick catch up we jump straight into music news. Olivia Rodrigo has released a brand new single titled ‘The Cure' and we theorise on whether Harry Styles, Taylor Swift and Charli xcx are trying to purge the fans they gained during their mega world tours. Comedian Pete Davidson has made headlines recently after his ex-partner and mother of his child, Elsie Hewitt, took to social media to share that she's a solo parent of their five-month-old child. Yikes.In a Hunger Games turn of events, this weekend sees the inaugural Enhanced Games take place. We recommend and discuss the 7am Podcast's reporting on the new billionaire-backed Enhanced Games that allow participants to take “performance-enhancing drugs” including testosterone, anabolic steroids and growth hormone. The art of the grifter persists. In Bookmarked, we have two cosy recommendations for you: Watching the Detectives, a rom-com from 2007, and the juicy Rivals Season 2 on Disney+. Thank you for listening! No video episode this week as we recorded remotely but we'll be back in the studio next time. Jas & Mags xoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chuck Todd opens with a wave of primary night results that all point the same direction: Thomas Massie has lost his reelection bid, Trump's grip on the GOP base is as strong as ever, and the president just endorsed Ken Paxton in Texas — a move that's great for Trump personally and disastrous for the Republican Party, which will now have to pour enormous money into a Senate seat that was supposed to be safe. Democrats outvoted Republicans in Georgia, with African-American turnout spiking in the aftermath of the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act — exactly the kind of backlash dynamic that could reshape the entire midterm map. The night's verdict: good for Trump, bad for the GOP. But he argues the deeper, more dangerous story isn't electoral — it's the systematic normalization of corruption that Trump is engineering in plain sight. He's turning the Republican Party into a kleptocracy, selling pardons that erase prison sentences and massive financial penalties, raising prices for ordinary Americans while amassing a personal fortune, and just secured a DOJ get-out-of-jail-free card for his family on tax evasion. The genius of Trump's strategy, Chuck argues, is that he understands corruption can be absorbed into the culture if it carries no meaningful penalty. He reminds listeners that Bill Clinton survived his scandals only because the economy was booming; corruption becomes a voting issue when people's lives get worse, and Trump's policies are now unraveling the American economy at exactly the wrong moment for him. The real warning sits in the structural pattern: once corruption becomes politically survivable, it becomes politically reproducible. Finally, Chuck presents his ToddCast Top 5 list of primary elections that will have the biggest impact on the general election in November, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

This week, Bricky, DK, and Kirioth dive into the "Reign of Iron" lore supplement. With the Eye of Terror massively expanded after the fall of Cadia, Perturabo has set his sights on building the "Infinite Citadel" and claiming the highly-valuable Forge World of Agripinaa. But to get there, Warsmith Kravek Morne has to do some serious house cleaning. Listen in as the boys break down the Iron Warriors sneaking up on the Black Legion "Grave Robbers" who were looting Cadia, leading to the brutal execution of Lord Iordax Quan. From there, it's an all-out meat grinder on Toros Tertium against Ursula Creed and the Cadian 8th. And just when you think the Iron Warriors have it in the bag, Darnath Lysander and the Imperial Fists arrive to crash the party—mostly because they just really, really hate Perturabo's sons. Oh, and Eldrad shows up at the end.Support the show

“Trees have all of this medicine…fruits, the bark is medicine, the leaves. All of that is waiting; it's potent, it's dormant.”Jason Grechanik has spent more than 25 years immersed in the study and practice of plants as medicine. As a tabaquero, he guides plant medicine dietas in Peru and internationally, weaving Amazonian tobacco traditions with Celtic tree wisdom. He facilitated for many years at the healing center Temple of the Way of Light and is the host of Universe Within Podcast.In this conversation, we hear about Jason's path, from learning with Shipibo healers to training with a mestizo tabaquero, and eventually working with the medicine of North American trees and Celtic traditions. We highlight the importance of respect and reciprocity when learning from wisdom traditions from around the world. We speak about plant diets — especially with tobacco — and the practices involved like fasting, isolation and ingestion. Jason explains that dieting with a single plant can open a deeper connection to its spirit and describes the dreams during dieta as a “gateway to experience the teachings of the plant.”Timestamps:(00:00) Welcome and Opening(02:45) How They Met in Peru(05:37) Temple of the Way of Light(08:35) Ayahuasca, Female Healers + Podcasting(12:00) Working With Local Flora Abroad(14:40) Reciprocity and Respect(16:56) Plant Diets or Dietas(20:38) Dreams While Dieting Plants (23:44) Other Plant Teachers + Tree Medicine (Europe)(31:01) Dieting With Tabacco + Tobacco Varieties (34:46) Inside A Dieta Retreat(36:22) Purging & Dosing Safety(36:37) Diagnostic Tools + Further Training (41:30) Jason's Tabaquero Teacher(45:25) Learning from Nature's Patterns (52:53) How to Follow Jason's Work 

Burn the Idols: The Radical Reforms of King JosiahWhat does true repentance actually look like? In this study of 2 Kings 23, we look at the life of King Josiah, a leader who refused to settle for partial obedience. While previous kings left the "high places" standing, Josiah tore them down, burned the idols to dust, and completely purged the land of pagan influence.We connect Josiah's radical actions to our lives today. When the Holy Spirit brings conviction, we have a choice: do we keep our "idols" as souvenirs, or are we willing to burn them? Whether it's a song, a movie, or a memory that leads us toward sin, true repentance requires us to remove the "high places" in our hearts so we can love the things of God more than the things of this world.Key Highlights:The Josiah Standard: Why Josiah was different from the kings who came before him.Complete Purge: Understanding why Josiah went as far as burning the bones of pagan priests.The Trap of the "High Places": Identifying the subtle idols we leave standing in our own lives.Lessons from Ai: Why Achan's hidden sin caused a whole nation to stumble and the necessity of purging the curse.The Work of Repentance: Practical steps to burning the things that cause us to stumble.Key Scriptures:2 Kings 23 – The reforms of King Josiah.Joshua 7 – The defeat at Ai and the sin of Achan.Psalm 119:104 – Gaining understanding and hating every false way.#KingJosiah #Repentance #SpiritualGrowth #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #HolySpirit #Faithfulness #WordTimeChapters0:00 - Intro: The Best Part of the Day0:13 - Josiah: The King Who Refused to Compromise0:32 - Tearing Down the High Places and Pagan Altars1:05 - What True Repentance Looks Like Today1:16 - Identifying Modern Idols: Movies, Music, and Memories1:40 - The Lesson of Ai: How Hidden Sin Stops Progress2:06 - Purging the Curse: Why the "Burn" is Necessary2:23 - Conviction vs. Convenience: Choosing God's Law2:42 - Closing: Love God More Than the World

This sermon addresses the pervasive issue of modern idolatry, challenging the congregation to recognize how everyday things—relationships, success, security, reputation—can subtly replace God on the throne of our hearts. Using the story of the golden calf and Jesus's teaching about the vine and branches, the message emphasizes that we were created as "living idols" meant to reflect God's image to the world. The sermon calls believers to move beyond merely placating God's voice through superficial religious activities and instead embrace a full heart renovation through abiding in Christ. This abiding—intentionally seeking and acknowledging God's presence in every moment—is presented as the pathway to living a teleos (complete, whole, mature) life. The message concludes with practical ways to abide and an invitation to allow God to prune the idols from our lives, even though the process may be uncomfortable.Read John 15:1-8Jesus uses the powerful image of a vine and branches to teach us about abiding. The word "remain" appears repeatedly—it's not passive but intentional. A branch doesn't produce fruit through effort; it produces fruit by staying connected to the vine. Our spiritual vitality doesn't come from trying harder but from staying closer. When we disconnect, we wither. When we remain rooted in Christ, His life flows through us naturally. Abiding means intentionally seeking God's presence in every moment and allowing that presence to transform us from the inside out. Today, consider: Are you trying to produce spiritual fruit on your own strength, or are you drawing nutrients from the Vine? Stay connected. Remain. Abide.Discussion Questions:-In what ways do modern idols differ from ancient golden calves, and why might they be even more dangerous today because they are less obvious?-Emma describes abiding as intentionally seeking and acknowledging God's presence in every moment. What specific practices could help you move from placating God's voice to truly abiding in Him?-In John 15, Jesus says we can do nothing without remaining in Him. How does this challenge our culture's emphasis on self-sufficiency and personal achievement?-How can practicing Sabbath as intentional rest in God's presence rather than just a day off transform your relationship with Him and your understanding of His control?

Frog venom burns your skin, makes you purge, and might be the most powerful healing tool you have never tried. In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kambo researcher and practitioner Caitlin Thompson to break down how intentional suffering through this ancient Amazonian medicine is producing dramatic results for people with autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, Lyme disease, addiction, and metabolic dysfunction. From the peptide science behind the purge to the biohacking case for voluntary pain, this conversation will change how you think about healing, resilience, and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Caitlin Thompson is an internationally recognized Kambo practitioner and educator who has guided over 2,700 clients through this medicine, with a focus on Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness. Her path into this work was shaped by her own recovery from Lyme disease and Lupus. Trained in neurobiology and rooted in psychedelic science, immune health, and the human microbiome, Caitlin is currently pioneering some of the first prospective human studies on Kambo. She collaborates directly with indigenous Amazonian communities including the Matsés, Shuar, Quechua, and Matis, and has appeared on over 100 podcasts and conferences as a leading voice at the intersection of traditional medicine and modern science. Dave and Caitlin break down the full Kambo experience, from the transdermal burns and peptide families flooding your lymphatic system, to the purge, the frog face, and the window of clarity that follows. They explore why the suffering is not a side effect but the actual mechanism, how ordeal medicine builds the same neuroplasticity and dopamine receptor sensitivity that meditation, breathwork, and ice baths produce, and why this ancient practice is becoming one of the most talked about tools in functional medicine and longevity circles. They also dig into the sustainability crisis threatening frog populations in the Amazon, the almost nonexistent research landscape for Kambo, why journals refuse to publish positive findings, and how AI may unlock the ability to synthesize Kambo peptides and remove the dependency on frogs entirely. You'll Learn: Why intentional suffering through Kambo may be one of the most effective biohacking tools for immune reset and brain optimization How Kambo peptides interact with your mitochondria, vagal nerve, and immune system to drive deep healing Why the purge is not a side effect but a keystone mechanism of the medicine How ordeal medicine builds dopamine receptor sensitivity and neuroplasticity similar to fasting, cold exposure, and breathwork What the actual risks of Kambo are and how hyponatremia kills people who do it wrong Why Caitlin recovered from Lupus and Lyme disease using Kambo and what that means for autoimmune conditions How Kambo compares to ketamine, ayahuasca, and other altered states for trauma and performance Why journals refuse to publish Kambo research and what that reveals about the drug development pipeline How AI and synthetic biology may soon make frog harvesting unnecessary What the worst Kambo practitioners do wrong and how to find someone you can actually trust Thank you to our sponsors! -iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE-The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/dave-MASA Chips | Go to https://www.masachips.com/DAVEASPREY and use code DAVEASPREY for 25% off your first order.
