Have you ever noticed that no matter how much inner work you do certain patterns keep showing up? Around a relationship dynamic, the fear of being seen, or the quiet self-doubt right before you expand. What if it's not just this lifetime? In this beautiful conversation with Sarah Breskman Cosme, we explore hypnosis, ancient codes, past life regression, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), and how subconscious beliefs may be shaping your current reality more than you realize. Sarah shares how healing herself led her into this powerful work and what she's learned from doing many regressions. We talk about: How subconscious beliefs drive self-sabotage Why fear often surfaces right before awakening Atlantis, Lemuria, and ancient codes How sacred sites hold energetic memory The collective grief and awakening happening right now And why you cannot get it wrong Here's to claiming all the goodness the universe is thrilled to give you!   Takeaways Sarah's journey into hypnosis began with her desire to heal herself. The realization that everything is thoughts and patterns was transformative for Sarah. QHHT allows individuals to access their higher self and universal consciousness. Collective grief is surfacing as humanity awakens to its true nature. Ancient practices from Atlantis and Lemuria can guide us in our healing today. Sacred sites hold information and codes that can activate our memories. The future of humanity involves a shift towards a more connected, tribal society. Fear is a common theme in sessions, but awareness can help transform it. We are all magical beings with the power to create our own reality. It's important to trust the process and know that you cannot get it wrong.   About Sarah Bresman Cosme Sarah Breskman Cosme is a master hypnotist, international speaker, and best-selling author specializing in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), the method developed by Dolores Cannon.

Welcome back to the Restoring the Soul podcast with Michael John Cusick. In this episode, Michael and AJ Denson dive deeper into the transformative concepts from Michael's book, Sacred Attachment: Escaping Spiritual Exhaustion and Trusting Divine Love. Picking up where they left off, the conversation centers on the “Four S's” of attachment—Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure—and explores how these elements shape our spiritual and relational lives.Together, they reflect on the nuances of secure and insecure attachment, the power of rupture and repair in relationships, and how even well-intentioned parents and caregivers can struggle to meet these needs. Michael brings personal stories and practical insights, offering hope for healing attachment wounds, whether through new relational patterns or divine love.The episode also tackles the complex reality that attachment styles are not fixed but evolve with our circumstances and emotional states. Through compassionate storytelling and relatable examples, the hosts unravel what it means to be “soothed”—the crucial experience of knowing someone has “got you” in moments of distress, vulnerability, and everyday life.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

What if gold isn't just a commodity… but a spiritual technology? In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Zach Zublena, healing artist, painter, transformational breathwork facilitator, and spiritual photographer, whose work centers on what he calls the sacred frequency of gold: a radiant, protective, awakening field that helps people remember their divine essence.Zach shares the surprising journey that began as an artistic experiment in 2016, painting bodies in gold, until a near-death experience reoriented his entire path and revealed gold as a transmission: not about status or wealth, but sovereignty, remembrance, and ascension. Together, we explore why ancient civilizations revered gold as “the flesh of the gods,” how cultures from Egypt and Mesopotamia to the Inca and Vedic tradition approached gold as sacred, and why modern extraction and hoarding distort its original purpose.We also dive into- The lived, practical side of working with gold as a frequency- Gold meditations, energetic shielding, heart coherence, sound/resonance- The way art can bypass the mind and speak directly to the soul.- How his transformational breathwork sessions guide people into theta states where gold becomes an embodied experienceIf you've ever felt that gold “does something” to your field, or you're curious about beauty as a portal, spiritual sovereignty, and the alchemy of matter and consciousness, this conversation will expand your framework.Guest: Zach ZublenaWebsite: ZZGallery.comBook: The Sacred Frequency of Gold (available on Amazon)Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.You can also check out my latest book A Glitch In the Matrix, here.

What does it mean to remember the soul in a world shaped by transaction, performance, and speed?In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Haider Rathor, host of The Temple of Remembrance and a guide of the unseen whose work centers on presence, relationship, and soul remembrance.This was a high-frequency, deeply human conversation. Together, we explore grief and joy, pain and love, ancestry and future generations, and what it means to live beyond performance and transaction. Haider speaks to remembering rather than striving, to living from the heart in a world shaped by the head, and to reclaiming the sacred as a lived human quality rather than a religious idea. We reflect on the loss of relationship in modern life, the impact of hyper-individualism, and the invitation to return to more relational, heart-led ways of being in leadership, community, and everyday life.This is a conversation to listen to slowly. One that doesn't offer answers so much as it opens space for remembering.About Haider Rathor:Haider Rathor is the host of The Temple of Remembrance podcast. Through presence, inquiry, and deep conversation, he creates spaces for soul remembrance and reconnection with the sacred intelligence of the heart, body, and soul.Learn More About Today's GuestHaider's website ****→ https://soulful-awakening.com/About the HostJayne Warrilow is the founder of Sacred Changemakers, a global community and learning space exploring the intersection of human resonance, regenerative change, and conscious leadership.Learn more at sacredchangemakers.com

Is reality fundamentally inert, or is it structured by divine desire? In this episode, John Vervaeke and Zevi Slavin explore the metaphysical vision of Ibn Gabirol and the integration of Jewish thought with Neoplatonism. They examine the claim that all of existence arises through the coupling of matter and form, unified by divine will. The conversation traces the Philosophical Silk Road and reflects on how Ibn Gabirol shaped Christian, Islamic, and Jewish philosophy. At its center is a contemporary challenge: can we recover a shared philosophical language that orients us toward unity without erasing difference? Zevi Slavin is the founder of Seekers of Unity and a teacher of Jewish mysticism and integrative metaphysics. His work engages classical Jewish sources and cultivates cross traditional dialogue grounded in participatory metaphysics.

“Our scalp, hair, all these are meant to protect our most vital organ, which is our brain. The reason you get itchy, you can feel when you get oily, is because it's that sensitive to protect it. So we need to learn not to ignore those signs.” —Anne MarieWe know that “successful” careers can quietly drain our bodies and energy. Many of us push through pain, burnout, and misalignment because it looks stable from the outside, while our health and purpose pay the price. This conversation sits at the intersection of career change, service, and the often-ignored world of scalp health and hair loss.Our guest, Anne Marie, is a stylist, head spa specialist, and head of community events at Dolce Vita Salon.

In this deeply personal and wide‑ranging episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with longtime colleague and friend Karla Brahms of Wellenreiter in the Odenwald, Germany — a region steeped in myth, forest, and living horse culture.What begins as a conversation about equine‑assisted practice unfolds into an intimate exploration of grief, love, resilience, and the sacred role horses play in helping humans navigate life's darkest passages.Karla shares her evolution from decades of forest‑based therapeutic riding with children into her current work integrating NIG (Neuro‑Imaginative Gestalt) constellation methods with horses. Through spontaneous drawing, embodied awareness, and equine presence, she helps clients access inner wisdom beyond intellectual processing.The conversation then turns to the death of her husband, musician Jan, and the profound grief that followed. Karla speaks openly about ritual, laying out the body at home, identity loss, and how horses — through presence, warmth, and simple being — helped her remain anchored in the present.This episode explores what modern culture has lost around death and ceremony — and how horses may help us reclaim a more honest, embodied relationship with grief.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Dr. Desmond Barrett, a church revitalization expert, shares his pastoral journey and work in bringing revitalization to the church.--In this episode of the Sacred & Small podcast, Dr. Desmond Barrett, author of Rising From the Ashes Into Church Renewal, and pastor of Hilltop Church of the Nazarene, joins the Jasons to talk church revitalization.What is church revitalization? Dr. Barrett defines revitalization as “coming back.” Small churches — all churches — can face seasons of decline, crises, conflicts, and more. Walking through a process of revitalization can help churches recenter themselves on what makes them vital — alive and in agreement with the mission of God in the world. That makes it more than just church growth or outreach, but a renewal of a congregation's commitment and engagement in what God is doing in them and in the world.In this first of two episodes, Desmond shares his pastoral journey — his call to ministry, his first pastoral assignment in a church of 8, and his efforts to revitalize both Winter Haven Nazarene (his previous assignment) and his current work at Hilltop.

PART 2 Episode 184 with "Zulu Nurse" Ep. 184 Informed Is Powerful:Medical Racism, Advocacy & Sacred ResponsibilityThis conversation is layered. Historical and Necessary.In this episode of The Zen Effect Show…This is Part 2 with The Zulu Nurse  We talk about medical literacy and what happens when we don't have enough of it. We talk about medical racism  and what it actually looks like inside hospital walls. We talk about advocacy not as a buzzword, but as protection.And we name something deeper: if you are going to work in medicine, you must have a spiritual core strong enough to withstand the system without becoming it.This is education. This is accountability.Stay present. This one is medicine.How we can unintentionally are less medically literate  and why that matters.Why bringing someone into the room with you can protect your care.What real advocacy looks like in practice.What to do when you don't have a nurse or provider advocating for you.How to document, ask questions, and hold your ground in clinical spaces.How to speak up to colleagues in the medical field.What checking bias looks like in real time.Why silence inside institutions can cost lives.The historical medical experiments on Black people you need to know and why that history still shapes trust today.Why a spiritual core is essential in healthcareHow to stay human inside a system that can desensitize youHow nursing students can seek mentorship from The Zulu NurseHer sexual wellness drinks and the importance of holistic, culturally aware health solutionsFrom exploitative medical experimentation to modern-day disparities in pain management, maternal mortality, and diagnosis delays the throughline is clear: awareness is protection.Because our health is sacred. And sacred things must be guarded.Your are not difficult for asking questions.You are not dramatic for requesting clarity. You are not disrespectful for demanding better care.Your life is valuable. Your body is intelligent. Your voice is necessary.Bring someone with you. Take notes.

Today, we'll talk about the little-known murals of Pilu Temple, painted by folk artists in northern China during the Ming dynasty. These murals bring together gods, ghosts, sages, and common folk to create some of the most imaginative visions of the Chinese spiritual world.

What if humanity's future was written 500 years ago?Dr. Amarjit Kaur Doowa didn't set out to challenge the modern world—she was searching ancient scripture for clarity in a time of division, conflict, and spiritual confusion. Why does humanity repeat cycles of fear and separation? Why do sacred teachings become distorted over time? And what if the answers we need have been waiting in plain sight for centuries?In this conversation, Dr. Doowa draws from a 500-year-old sacred text to reveal a message of unity, consciousness, and collective awakening that feels startlingly relevant today. As humanity moves through a profound shift in awareness, this discussion reframes ancient wisdom not as outdated doctrine—but as a living blueprint for healing the world from within.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

Organ meats. Retinol. Detox protocols. Sacred cows in the alternative health world.Dr. Garrett Smith, aka the Nutrition Detective, joins us to unpack the growing debate around vitamin A toxicity, bile metabolism, and why some of the most celebrated “superfoods” may not work the same for everyone.At the center of the conversation is his Toxic Bile Theory — the idea that bile is not just a digestive fluid, but one of the body's primary waste routes. When overloaded, he argues, it can shift from protective to inflammatory and drive chronic symptoms many people can't seem to resolve.We explore where detox culture goes wrong, why “healing crises” may not be what they seem, and why stopping ongoing exposures may matter more than adding another supplement.In this episode, we discuss:The Vitamin A debate: deficiency vs. toxicityWhy serum retinol levels often rise with ageToxic Bile Theory and bile as a terrain issueOrgan meats and why some people feel worse on themDetoxification vs. agitationRaw milk vs. conventional milk — what actually mattersCopper toxicity concerns and mineral balanceWhy MSG may be good for you (seriously!)This episode will challenge assumptions, especially for those in ancestral or nose-to-tail nutrition circles. As always, the goal isn't to dictate conclusions, but to examine ideas and test them against your own experience and terrain.You can learn more about Dr. Smith at his website https://nutritiondetective.com/ and also follow him on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/nutritiondetective, and on X at https://x.com/NutriDetect.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

What do we do when scripture makes us uncomfortable? In this reflection on Genesis 18–23, Katie Paxman considers the story of Abraham and Isaac through the lens of empathy, friendship with God, and the courage to feel. Rather than rushing toward tidy theological explanations, she invites readers to linger in sacred discomfort—and discover how God may be teaching us through it.

Welcome back to another episode of Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In today's conversation, Michael is joined by AJ Denson as they dive into the foundational building blocks of healthy relationships and spiritual well-being—the "Four S's" of attachment: seen, soothed, safe, and secure.Picking up from their previous conversation on Attachment Neuroscience and the Trinity, Michael unpacks how the story of God is ultimately a story of profound attachment, beginning with the indivisible unity of the Trinity itself. The discussion explores how these four components of attachment shape not only our childhood experiences but also our spiritual lives and adult relationships.Together, they reflect on what it means to be truly seen and delighted in, drawing parallels between the secure love a child needs and the way God knows and loves us deeply. With honest stories, cultural insights, and a grounding in Scripture, this episode offers hope for healing and restoration, even in the places where attachment may have been broken.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints requires that adult members wear garments under their clothes day and night. Though a central practice, the wearing of garments exists behind a wall of silence, as Church authorities and LDS culture discourage discussion of such a sacred matter. Nancy Ross, Jessica Finnigan, and Larissa Kanno Kindred draw on a survey of over 4,500 Church members and their own backgrounds to explore the multifaceted meanings and experiences of Mormon garments. As the authors show, garments also function as a tool of social control that shapes behavior and reinforces conformity around sexuality. The diverse lived experiences of Latter-day Saints reveal how belief and gender intersect with feelings of secrecy, shame, and obedience while creating complexities for LDS members as they navigate questions of faith, identity, and agency. In addition, the authors call for greater understanding of the people grappling with tensions between personal customs and religious expectation. Buy The Book Insightful and rich with detail, Mormon Garments sheds light on an intimate practice in the lives of Latter-day Saints.

 Elizabeth Oldfield is a writer, coach and host of the podcast The Sacred, who has dedicated her work to exploring clarity, courage and most of all, connection. And yet – her latest book Fully Alive dives into the seven deadly sins. That's because Elizabeth believes that sins like pride, greed and wrath, are what break our connection to others. So maybe understanding how these sins are so destructive to our lives might just be a key to becoming more fully alive.  In this conversation, Pam and Elizabeth talk about why hard feelings – like anxiety, grief, and even tension with loved ones – are actually invitations. We have to let ourselves feel complicated, messy emotions in order to draw closer to others and to God.  Elizabeth also shares a reflective journaling practice to help you live out your values.  Links and resources About Elizabeth Oldfield The Sacred podcast  Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times book Fully Alive, Elizabeth's Substack  With & For is a podcast of the Thrive Center, an applied research center that exists to catalyze a movement of human thriving, with and for others through spiritual health.

What if the part of you you've been taught to fear isn't “wrong” — just human? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, author Juno Thorne opens a brave conversation on faith, masculinity, and the quiet cost of silence. This episode is for men (and couples) carrying spiritual confusion or sexual shame, especially those shaped by purity culture. You'll hear a grounded distinction between attraction vs. objectification, why “doing everything right” can still feel like inner fracture, and a practical path toward integration — not suppression — so you can feel whole again. Episode Chapter: 00:04:45 — The question that cracks open the silence: desire, faith, and honesty 00:06:15 — “Marriage didn't fix it”: why attraction doesn't disappear 00:08:04 — The internal conflict: humanity vs. spiritual rules 00:10:23 — Attraction vs. objectification: where purity culture collapses nuance 00:12:33 — Feeling alive again: reclaiming youth, vitality, and wholeness 00:15:15 — First step toward integration: changing the belief, then retraining the body 00:20:17 — Stop silencing yourself: the freedom Juno calls “Sacred Freedom” About the Guest: Juno Thorne is the author of Sacred Freedom, exploring how purity culture can wound men and how faith, desire, and honesty can coexist. He shares his own long journey from internal dissonance to embodied freedom. Key Takeaways: Separate attraction from objectification: noticing beauty isn't the same as using someone. Expect “marriage will fix it” to fail — the real work is inner integration, not denial. Start by gently reshaping the belief: “There's nothing wrong with attraction.” Then retrain the body: repeated safe experiences reduce fear-based conditioning over time. Shame doesn't just change behavior — it can fracture identity and intimacy. Ask yourself: What part of me am I silencing instead of understanding?

Pathfinder Church | February 22, 2026 | AJ MasticWe have fewer and fewer “third spaces”—places where people gather together simply for the sake of being with one another. Even community events that used to be primarily experienced in a group (such as cheering on your local team or going to a movie) are now mainly experienced from the (isolated) comfort of our couch and big screen. So why does the church make such a big deal about gathering together every weekend?Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram | https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | https://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.org

This Sunday, Pastor Curtis continues in the series with Part 3 of 'Sacred Silence' God Speaks, focusing on the true goal of silence—learning to hear God clearly and respond in obedience. Through the story of Abraham, we're reminded that time with God builds trust, obedience brings blessing, and in the quiet, we discover that the Lord always provides.

Why is the Holy Spirit often portrayed to as a dove? Pastor Daniel Brooker examines how the Holy Spirit brings us peace when the storms of life threaten us as he continues our SACRED NAMES series.

With Neptune & Saturn now intertwined in Aries, we're going to see increasing waves of revelations linking the physical & higher dimensional realms, introducing multiple timelines, all existing in the Now. Individually, we're being inspired to bring to light the beautiful & sacred seeds we've been carrying, nurtured by our unique star-lit gifts & skills, knowing we are spiritually supported 100%.

In the past couple of generations, there's been a lot of talk about finding one's passion. Many people find themselves dissatisfied with their work because it doesn't feel passionate enough. This begs the question, should our choice of vocation be fueled by practicality, passion, or calling? What even is a calling? And do we all have one? In today's conversation, we'll endeavor to define the differences between what lights a person up and what provides a deeper service. We'll explore one's moral obligation, if any, to share the gifts they were divinely given.

Pathfinder Church | February 18, 2026 | Dion GarrettOur society has largely sterilized the process of death—offloading the care of the sick and dying onto medical professionals.

Pastor Mark Driscoll from Trinity Church joins Grace City Church for a powerful “family meeting,” connecting the church's Sacred Assembly season to Ezra & Nehemiah and calling for a continued rhythm of prayer, planning, fasting, and faith for favor. With twelve key words, he unpacks spiritual warfare as a battle for family, freedom, and the lordship of Jesus, and explains how God builds and then fills—first with His presence, then with new sons and daughters who will meet Christ. This message will strengthen your conviction, deepen your worship, and help you recognize what it means to gather as a sacred assembly in a thin place where heaven comes near.Support the showThanks for listening!
