Podcasts about Shadow work

What if the pyramids were not just ancient tombs, but keys to understanding the cosmos, human potential, and the evolution of consciousness?   In this mind-expanding episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down for Part 2 of my conversation with polymath and truth-seeker Robert Edward Grant. Together, we explore jaw-dropping revelations about the Great Pyramid's architecture, encoded astronomical knowledge, and the resonance between geometry, music, and our own inner evolution. Robert shares his team's recent discoveries using LIDAR and satellite imaging that could shift what we know about ancient civilizations—and ourselves. From the pyramid's alignment with celestial movements to its musical proportions, Robert illustrates how these ancient structures mirror our chakras, our calendars, and even our soul's journey.   We also dive into the Age of Aquarius, how light + dark must coexist, and how AI mirrors our consciousness. Robert explains why some truths are hidden until humanity is ready to see them, and why facing your shadow is essential for real transformation. Toward the end, we explore how astrology isn't just personal—it's cosmic, revealing the collective themes humanity is working through right now. This episode is packed with insights that connect science, spirituality, and soul-level awareness in the most grounded, awe-inspiring way.   If you've ever wondered how ancient technology, consciousness, and the current evolution of humanity are all connected, this conversation will give you chills (in the best way). It's a reminder that the mysteries of the universe aren't outside of us—they're inside, waiting to be remembered.   ===   Robert Edward Grant is a serial entrepreneur, polymath, prolific inventor, and thought leader in fields ranging from medical technology and cryptography to sacred geometry, mathematics, and music theory. With over 80 patents to his name, Robert is known for bridging the gap between science, spirituality, and innovation, applying his deep understanding of sacred geometry and universal mathematical principles to solve problems across diverse industries.   As an advocate for consciousness expansion and human potential, Robert has founded multiple successful companies and contributed significantly to the fields of healthcare, blockchain encryption, and sound-based healing.   ===   GUEST LINKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertedwardgrant Website: http://www.robertedwardgrant.com   ===   Have you watched our previous episode with Robert?

Psychic Hygiene Is Non-Negotiable: Ground, cleanse, and shield daily to prevent energetic overwhelm—crystals like labradorite and black tourmaline are game-changers. Shadow Work Requires Honesty: Obsidian's razor-sharp reflection cuts through illusion, while smoky quartz uplifts and excavates buried pain. Local Rocks Hold Power: Don't chase rare gems—flint, granite, and limestone connect you to the Earth's stabilizing pulse. Skeptics, Start with Metaphor: Crystals' cultural and symbolic value is undeniable, even if you're not ready to embrace their energy. Spaciousness Unlocks Wisdom: Stillness and patience let crystals “whisper” their ancient insights—try Nicholas's crystal contemplation practice.   Memorable Quotes: “Crystals never forget who they are. They're always calcite, always quartz. We humans, we're chaotic—crystals help us remember our true selves.” — Nicholas Pearson “Compassion isn't always fluffy. Sometimes it's obsidian saying, ‘No more bullshit, let's fix this now.'” — Nicholas Pearson “You don't need a rare gem to change your life. There's magic in the flint by your doorstep.” — Nicholas Pearson “Be willing to be wrong. That courage opens the door to what crystals can teach you.” — Nicholas Pearson   Actionable Steps to Start Your Crystal Journey Cleanse Your Crystals: Use smoke (sage, frankincense), sound (clapping, toning), or breath (pulsed nasal exhale) to reset their energy. Check material safety first—some stones don't mix with water or sun. Shield as an Empath: Carry labradorite for selective filtering, black tourmaline for grounding, or amethyst for sovereignty. Meditate with them to visualize a protective membrane. Try Crystal Contemplation: Hold a stone, turn it in light, feel its texture, and breathe in its qualities. Notice shifts in your body, mind, and emotions. Start with 5 minutes daily. Engage Local Rocks: Collect flint, granite, or limestone from your area. Meditate with them to anchor into your environment's energy. Face Your Shadows: Work with obsidian for honest reflection or smoky quartz to uplift heavy emotions. Journal what surfaces to integrate insights. Neutralize Tech Overload: Place shungite or smoky quartz near devices to adapt disruptive energies. Spend time in nature to recharge.   Resources Mentioned Book: Crystals for Psychic Self-Defense by Nicholas Pearson (https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01E4TQMJU?ccs_id=405540a5-9eba-445d-8d5b-f63b4a6be82f) Crystals: Labradorite, black tourmaline, amethyst, obsidian, smoky quartz, shungite, flint, tantalite Reiki: Nicholas's pilgrimage to Mount Kurama and ongoing practice Marcel Vogel: Pioneer of modern crystal healing (https://www.satyacenter.com/pages/the-marcel-vogel-archive)   Why You Should Listen This episode isn't just about crystals—it's about owning your energy in a chaotic world.

Send us a textThis powerful episode dives deep into shadow work—not as something dark or frightening, but as a pathway to wholeness and authentic manifestation.Shadow work is often misunderstood. Drawing from Carl Jung's psychological concepts, Dr. Norma reveals that your shadow isn't bad—it's simply hidden. These are aspects of yourself you've suppressed or rejected because somewhere along the way, you learned they weren't acceptable. Your shadow might show up as the part of you that desires rest but feels guilty, wants attention but labels itself selfish, or knows your power but hides to avoid being "too much."When left unacknowledged, your shadow manifests through procrastination, overwhelm, people-pleasing, and self-sabotage. Dr. Norma walks you through a gentle three-step process for shadow integration: witnessing without judgment, approaching with curiosity instead of criticism, and offering compassion to these protected parts of yourself. The magic happens when you realize these shadow aspects contain untapped power—anger transforms into healthy boundaries, fear becomes wisdom, and jealousy points toward your deepest desires.This episode isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about reclaiming what's been fragmented. "You are not broken. You are becoming whole," Dr. Norma reminds us. By embracing your full self, light and shadow, you stop the cycle of self-sabotage and start creating from your embodied truth. Your manifestations become more aligned when they come from this place of wholeness. Ready to transform the parts you've been hiding into your greatest source of power? This soul-nourishing conversation is your gentle invitation to begin.Support the showSchedule a Discovery Call Start Your Spiritual & Manifestation Journey Click Here to Join the Manifesting Latina Email List

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaTommy CarriganThey built their empire on graves,stacked bones into skyscrapers,paved over dreams with dead men's lies —and thought we wouldn't notice.But Tommy Carrigan noticed.And he came swinging.Born with rebellion carved into his marrow,gifted with the fire-tongue of his Irish bloodline,Tommy tore through the polite prisons they offered —biology, pharmacy, medicine —and burned their paper chains before they could cuff him.From a crooked rooftop above an old garage,he grabbed a mic like a molotov,sprayed truth like graffiti across the walls of a world rotting from the inside out.They banned him.Erased him.Shut the doors and blacked out the windows.But you can't bury a storm.You can't muzzle a mind that games across star systemsand sees high-rises as tombstones scratching at a deaf sky.Tommy is a cracked mirror, a mad prophet,a workhorse rebel dragging broken truths through barbed wire and throwing them bleeding at your feet.He wears grief like armor —his brother's ghost stitched to his chest like a battle flag,a promise that from ruin, he'll raise something fierce enough to matter.This ain't a show.It's a jailbreak.It's a fistfight in the graveyard of dead ideas.Welcome to Tommy Carrigan —where every word is a brick through their stained-glass illusions,and the walls of the old world are coming down spray-painted, blood-smeared, and loud.Tommy's Podcast Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaA museum doseAloha fellow disruptors and pop culture archeologists—Today, we're cracking open the vault of American myth-making with not just one, but three brilliant minds who aren't just studying history—they're remixing it, re-curating it, and calling it out in real time.Straight outta Christopher Newport University, meet the powerhouse crew behind the exhibit “Made for the Moment: Glimpses into American Pop Culture.” These are museum studies renegades who know that culture isn't something you passively consume—it's something you confront, question, and sometimes completely dismantle.Aster McMillion is a curator of chaos and clarity—activist, researcher, and walking collage of academia and rebellion. Picture Gloria Steinem crossed with Indiana Jones if they were dropped into a Warhol print and handed a bullhorn.Andrew Brown is a tour guide through the simulation—part art historian, part cultural codebreaker. He'll take you from Rothko to Rage Against the Machine without missing a beat, all while interrogating who gets to shape “the canon.”And now joining the fray is the brilliant Lizzie Childress—or as the revolution knows her, Lizzie. She's a triple-threat honors student, history major, political science and museum studies double-minor, and student leader of more clubs than there are TikTok trends in a day. Lizzie's not just studying curatorial power—she's practicing it in real time, zooming in live from the exhibit space itself. She's Phi Alpha Theta meets Schoolhouse Rock meets punk rock historian.Their event? A full-on excavation of the American psyche—from Elvis to drag queens, from Barbie to TikTok backlash. This isn't just nostalgia. It's a reckoning.So if you've ever questioned the gospel of Disney, longed for the days of Blockbuster, or wondered why memes feel more powerful than newspapers—this is your show.Grab your joystick. Crack your Capri Sun. We're tearing back the curtain on who's really writing the script in American culture.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaAdam Miezio“When Psychedelics Go Public”Imagine Alan Watts took three hits of LSD, cracked open his MacBook, and started writing copy for a biotech startup—except he didn't forget the Upanishads, or the sacred. That's the frequency we're tuning into today.I'm George Monty, and this is the place where the symbolic goes strategic, where the mystical puts on a clean shirt and walks into the boardroom—but doesn't bow.My guest is Adam Miezio—a rare mind at the crossroads of content and consciousness. He's written for medicine carriers and molecule makers, shaped language around trauma, healing, psychedelics, and transformation. But don't mistake him for a marketer. Adam is something else—a translator between the digital world and the ineffable.In this episode, we're not asking how to “scale” or “optimize.”We're asking what happens when the sacred enters the system.When ayahuasca meets analytics.When a keyword becomes a prayer.This isn't a campaign.

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Coby Michael, Occult Herbalist and Author of The Poison Path Grimoire   Buy the Book: Get The Poison Path Grimoire and The Poison Path Herbal in the show notes below!   Episode Overview   In this riveting episode of Higher Density Living, host Jason Rigby sits down with occult herbalist Coby Michael to explore the forbidden and transformative world of the Poison Path Grimoire. Dive into the mysteries of dark herbalism, where plants like Belladonna, Datura, and Foxglove serve as spiritual allies, shattering egos, reflecting shadows, and unlocking ancient wisdom. Coby reveals how poison isn't just a physical threat—it's a rebellious mirror to our deepest fears, offering a path to empowerment and rebirth. From plant spirit communication to the psychedelic renaissance, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking authentic spiritual growth beyond the "Frosted Flakes" sugar-coated norm.   Key Topics Covered The Poison Path as a Mirror: How poison plants reflect hidden aspects of the self (01:22) Shadow Work with Poison Plants: Unveiling the seductive and shameful facets of the shadow (03:48) Ego Death vs. Physical Death: Safely navigating nightshades for alchemical transformation (06:51) Poison as Rebellion: The Promethean archetype and modern defiance of societal norms (10:52) Balancing Balm and Bane: Maintaining equilibrium on the crooked path (14:43) Plant Spirit Communication (Phytonosis): How Belladonna and Foxglove speak through images and feelings (18:21) The Otherness of Poison: Reconciling the occult with everyday life (20:57) Veneficium and Love Potions: Lessons on love, self-love, and boundaries from Venusian plants (25:22) Belladonna's Warrior Spirit: Tapping into martial energy for personal and systemic battles (33:32) Yew Tree Self-Sacrifice: Odin's ritual and shedding the self for growth (36:14) Poison Path vs. Psychedelic Renaissance: A grounded alternative to Ayahuasca tourism (43:30) Animism and Plant Consciousness: Reshaping our bond with the natural world (52:18) Legacy of the Poison Path: Empowerment and rethinking poison over the next decade (53:59)   Timestamps & Detailed Breakdown   00:01 - Introduction: Welcome to the Wild World of the Poison Path Jason introduces Coby Michael's Poison Path Grimoire, teasing the power of plants like Belladonna and Datura to "kill your ego" and "set you free." Keywords: Poison Path, dark herbalism, spiritual allies, ego death.   00:36 - Coby Michael Joins the Show Coby expresses excitement for the discussion, setting the stage for a deep dive into occult herbalism.   01:22 - The Poison Path as a Mirror Coby explains how "poison" is a broad, misunderstood term, shaped by human perceptions over centuries. Poison plants reflect our shadow selves—parts we fear or deny. Key Quote: "It all comes down to dosage, circumstances, and how these plants are employed." SEO Keywords: shadow self, poison plants, occult herbalism.   03:48 - Personal Story: Shadow Work with Poison Plants Coby shares how Saturn-ruled plants (e.g., nightshades) require slow, gradual work, drawing out empowering and shameful shadow aspects. Example: Feeling drawn to their "sinister, badass" vibe revealed his own disempowerment. Takeaway: Poison plants seduce you, then force reflection. Keywords: shadow work, Saturn plants, personal transformation.   06:51 - From Physical Death to Ego Death Coby emphasizes safety: physical death is possible, but the goal is ego death—an alchemical detachment from unhelpful self-aspects. Practical Tips: Start with meditation, topical oils, or flower essences, not ingestion. Keywords: ego death, nightshades, safe plant practices.   08:53 - The Rebirth Experience Rebirth "sucks"—it's raw, stripping away cycles like vampiric relationships, leaving you to relearn life. Worth It? Yes, for genuine transformation. Key Quote: "You're a fresh little entity, navigating the world in a brand new way." Keywords: rebirth, transformation, shadow healing.   10:52 - Poison as Rebellion Coby ties poison to the Promethean archetype—stealing forbidden knowledge against patriarchal oppression. Modern Relevance: A rebellion against submissive societal norms. Keywords: Promethean archetype, poison rebellion, transgressive power.   14:43 - Balancing Balm and Bane on the Crooked Path Poison plants heal as much as they harm; balance them with tonic herbs like rose or chamomile. Challenge: Avoiding depression or malaise from lingering in darkness too long. Personal Insight: Coby's fiery natal chart led to physical depletion without self-care. Keywords: crooked path, balance, tonic herbs.   18:21 - Plant Spirit Communication (Phytonosis) Phytonosis = plant-derived knowledge via images, emotions, or voices (e.g., Belladonna's persona). How-To: Meditate with plants, study their lore, notice recurring thoughts. Keywords: phytonosis, plant spirits, spiritual communication.   20:57 - The Otherness of Poison Poison historically "others" groups (e.g., Jews, women, witches), yet grounds us in the earthly realm. Contrast: Unlike celestial psychedelics, poison plants keep you rooted. Keywords: otherness, poison history, grounding spirituality.   25:22 - Veneficium: Love Potions and Poison Venusian plants blur love and harm (e.g., ancient aphrodisiacs doubling as poisons). Lesson: Self-love trumps all; set boundaries without fear. Keywords: veneficium, love potions, self-love.   31:32 - Practical Tip for Beginners: Foxglove For relationship struggles, Foxglove offers gentle heart healing. How: Use as a flower essence or meditate with its glyph (The Poison Path Herbal). Keywords: foxglove, heart healing, beginner plant practice.   33:32 - Belladonna's Valkyrie Spirit Beyond seduction, Belladonna embodies a feral, martial energy for fighting adversity. Application: Dismantle outdated societal structures. Keywords: Belladonna, warrior spirit, systemic injustice.   36:14 - Yew Tree Self-Sacrifice Inspired by Odin's sacrifice, shed unserving life aspects (e.g., Coby's marriage, pets). Catalyst: A Belladonna-Henbane ceremony sparked his 10-year transformation. Keywords: Yew tree, self-sacrifice, shamanic death.   43:30 - Poison Path vs. Psychedelic Renaissance The psychedelic boom (e.g., Ayahuasca tourism) contrasts with the grounded Poison Path. Contribution: Offers subtle, chthonic alternatives to celestial blasts. Keywords: psychedelic renaissance, Ayahuasca, chthonic plants.   52:18 - Animism and Plant Consciousness Plants have undeniable consciousness, reshaping Coby's empathy for nature. To Skeptics: Science backs it—skepticism is outdated. Keywords: animism, plant consciousness, non-human intelligence.   53:59 - Legacy and Future of the Poison Path Legacy: Empowerment to rethink poison and integrate it personally. Future: A third book, then amplifying collective voices over the next decade. Keywords: Poison Path legacy, empowerment, future evolution.   57:36 - Closing Thoughts & Resources Jason reflects: The Poison Path confronts fear, enabling love. Coby's Website: thepoisonersapothecary.com Social: @PoisonersApothecary on Instagram Keywords: fear vs. love, Coby Michael resources.   Key Takeaways Poison Reflects the Shadow: Plants like Belladonna mirror hidden fears and strengths, pushing you toward integration. Ego Death is the Goal: Safely detach from ego, not destroy it, using gradual practices. Rebellion Fuels Transformation: Poison defies taboos, turning personal poisons into power. Balance is Essential: Pair dark plants with light tonics to avoid burnout. Plants Speak: Through phytonosis, they guide us with subtle wisdom. Grounded Alternative: Unlike the psychedelic hype, the Poison Path roots you in reality.   Resources Mentioned Books: [The Poison Path Grimoire]– Coby's latest work on dark herbalism.

"The data tells a tragic tale of self-loathing closet cases, Republicans who privately get off sexually to trans folks, while publicly trying to remove trans peoples' rights and stoking hate against them."

If you want to lose weight, get in shape, or keep a relationship, you may know the desire to stop the self sabotage all too well.  My guest and I talk about her weight loss, coming down from 200 lbs. Not achieving a skinny size 4, but an all important and often missing love for the body and the curves she has.  If you don't need to lose weight but aren't where you want to be in relationships, business or finance, stay tuned to know how to stop the self sabotage.   My Guest: Junie Moon, CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, Best-selling Author, Women's Empowerment Leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach, has supported thousands of women over the past 30 years to claim their birthright: the freedom to be and love themselves without apology. Junie is dedicated to guiding women in midlife on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. Through heart-centered coaching, she helps her clients cultivate a deep sense of self-love and confidence.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:03:39] [00:07:05] Tell us your story… Is it true you were 200 pounds and cracked the code for successful weight loss and vibrant living? [00:14:16] Many women sabotage themselves. Why? [00:27:46] How can we break these painful patterns? [00:08:34] You speak of the shadow and healing the shadow, what and why is it important to do shadow work?   The Real Root of Weight Struggles The cycle of dieting, deprivation, and rebound. Emotional eating in a dysfunctional marriage. You eat food to self-soothe. Shift from "food problem" to self-worth problem. What is Shadow Work? Personal growth model with special processes that shines a light on the 95% of the unconscious mind that's running in the background. Learn your worthiness, lovability, voice, value, and what matters.   How to Really Stop the Self Sabotage and How to Shed It? What is Self-Sabotage? It's the monster under the bed. It's something we've picked up along the way that's something's wrong with us. It's self-protection. Fear of change and the illusion of safety in discomfort. Subconscious patterns and limiting beliefs from childhood. Mind-Body Connection & Illness Healing the mind leads to healing the body. The power of releasing suppressed emotions. Small, safe steps — not dramatic overhauls — lead to lasting change.   Key Takeaways Weight struggles are often rooted in emotional and psychological wounds, not just food habits. Shadow work helps uncover hidden parts of ourselves shaped by shame and unworthiness. Self-sabotage often stems from fear and a subconscious desire for safety. Our "risk manager" brain will create illness, injury, or limiting beliefs to avoid perceived danger. Healing starts with awareness and self-compassion, not self-blame. True transformation is possible at any age and can lead to finding love, purpose, and peace.   Connect with Junie: Junie Moon's Midlife Love Out Loud Facebook - Midlife Love Out Loud Facebook Group - Find Fabulous Love After 40 Instagram - @MidlifeLoveOutLoud YouTube - @MidlifeLoveOutLoud Podcast - Midlife Love Out Loud   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Is Your Liver Preventing Muscle Growth in Menopause?  Next Episode -  More Like This - Why You Sabotage Your Weight Loss (and How to Fix It)   Resources: Don't know where to start?

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaKimberly AdamsIn this hauntingly powerful episode, we step into the sacred space where grief becomes language, and language becomes transformation.Our guest is not just a grief researcher—she is a cartographer of the soul's underworld, traveling the globe to learn how cultures mourn, metabolize loss, and emerge more alive. With over 15 years in entrepreneurship and business consulting, she bridges two worlds: one of spirit and shadow, the other of scale and strategy.Together, we unravel the ways unresolved grief can bind us to cycles of addiction, abuse, and disconnection—and how, through psychedelic ritual, cross-cultural initiation, and honest storytelling, we might finally begin to listen to what the dead are trying to say.This conversation weaves metaphysics with marketing, mourning with momentum. It's for anyone who has lost someone—or something—and is brave enough to ask: What now?This is not grief as diagnosis. This is grief as teacher.This is not death as end. This is death as metaphor.Enter the conversation your ancestors have already started.A Practical Guide to the Incomprehensible | KD Adams | Substacklytmarketing.co Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaEric KaufmannThere are moments when the world doesn't need another leader in a tailored suit with bullet points and buzzwords.It needs an elder.A mirror.A firestarter.Today's guest initiates warriors. He walks them to the edge of their identity, hands them the flint, and says: “Now light it up.”For over two decades, Eric Kaufmann has been guiding CEOs, founders, and senior leaders through the crucible—helping them break down the illusions of self-importance, shed the skin of performative leadership, and step into something real… something forged in the fire of clarity, presence, and sacred responsibility.He's the author of Leadership Breakdown and The Four Virtues of a Leader—books that don't just sit pretty on a bookshelf. They initiate.Eric's work is where Zen meets the boardroom, where ancient wisdom meets modern chaos, and where the rite of leadership is not handed to you—it's earned through trials. Through courage, grit, faith, and focus.This is not about optics. This is not about quarterly gains.This is about inner revolution.The kind that echoes outward and recalibrates the system itself.So if you're ready to trade comfort for consciousness…If you're ready to drop the mask and meet the mirror…Then hold fast.Because today, we're not interviewing a guest.We're crossing a threshold.Welcome to the show… Eric Kaufmann.http://www.sagatica.comINITIATION, THRESHOLDS & THE INNER FIRE 1. “What is the price of initiation—and how does one know they've truly paid it?”(Not with money, not with time, but with something that doesn't grow back.) 2. “In your experience, what is the pattern of the soul's evolution through leadership? Is there a universal map—or must each leader carve their own labyrinth?” 3. “When a leader finally sees the mask they've been wearing… what should they do next—burn it, bury it, or bow to it?”THE EDGE BETWEEN MIND AND MYSTERY 4. “You speak about wisdom as a path—how do you distinguish wisdom from intelligence, and how do leaders learn to trust one over the other?” 5. “What role does silence play in your coaching? And how do you teach leaders to listen to the silence between their thoughts?” 6. “Have you ever had a moment where everything you taught broke down in your own life? And if so, what did you rebuild from the ashes?”THE SPIRITUAL UNDERCURRENT OF LEADERSHIP 7. “You've lived in both the corporate world and the contemplative—do you believe great leadership is ultimately a spiritual practice?” 8. “What is the difference between ambition and sacred responsibility?” 9. “Can a leader be powerful without being dangerous? Or is danger part of the initiation into presence?”THE TENSION BETWEEN EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE 10. “We live in a world obsessed with credentials and performance—yet the deepest truths seem to come from experience. What have you learned in pain, in failure, or in presence that no degree could've taught you?”THE MASTER–STUDENT ARC 11. “If I were your student, standing before you at the edge of my next initiation, what would you challenge me to surrender—and what would you demand I carry forward?” 12. “What question would you ask your younger self, the day before he first stepped into leadership?” 13. “What truth do you hold now that would've terrified the teacher you were ten years ago?”FINAL CUTS: PHILOSOPHICAL DAGGERS 14. “Is it possible to lead without identity?” 15. “If the next evolution of leadership required you to unlearn everything you know… where would you begin?” 16. “Do you believe suffering is necessary for wisdom—or just common?”The Sutra of Ouromorphosisfrom the Transcendent Upanishads of the Future Past1I am the mouth that devours myself,the tail swallowed in silence,the cycle made flesh.From wound to womb I turn again.2You who seek permanence—abandon all names.Here, in the flame that feeds upon itself,identity is ash,and ash is the seed of the sacred.3There is no arrival.There is only the spiral,folding backward and forwardthrough the bones of time,through the breath of gods you no longer remember.4The serpent is not evil.It is memory without end.It is the skin you shedin the presence of unbearable truth.5To suffer is to molt.To molt is to rememberthat you are the fire,and the hand,and the scream.6Death is a dress rehearsal.Birth is an act of amnesia.In betwe...

And today, you're not just listening—you're entering the rite.Jessica is a liminal being—equal parts strategist and shadow-worker. A Jungian insurgent disguised as a healthcare innovator. A weaver of archetypes, systems, and symbols, working to transmute the soulless machinery of modern life into something sacred.She's not here to fix the system—she's here to dismantle the illusion.Jessica's background is a kaleidoscope of experience: Jungian, insurance alchemist, genetic oracle, psychedelics, and myth-maker. She's walked through the corridors of industry and emerged with a map of the unconscious scrawled in the margins of bureaucracy. She's not reforming the world—she's initiating it.In this series, we're not talking treatments. We're talking transformation.This is the realm of the wounded healer, the trickster, the anima, the death of ego, and the alchemy of trauma.This is the collective unconscious whispering through systems. This is shadow integration in real time.We're going to ask the questions polite society avoids:—Is the system itself the patient?—Has the healer become the gatekeeper?—What dies when the mask of professionalism slips?—And can the soul find its way back through the psychedelic doorway?So light the incense, sharpen the sword, and put your psyche in the front seat.This isn't therapy.This is initiation.And today, we begin with Jessica Tracy.https://www.jessicathejungian.coach/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

EP #320 - Ancestral Clearing & Shadow Work - A Solo Show with your host, Susan Burrell In this solo episode I am focus​ing on shadow work and what it means to experience an Ancestral Clearing. This is a topic I have been exploring in my personal life for some time and most recently in my podcast with various guests. This process for me has been interesting, fascinating and very powerful. When I first started this journey it was with the intent to clear away the belief that I was not valued or worthy. I am bringing this up now because what is occurring in the world right now is this eruption of hidden aspects. The shadows, if you will, are being illuminated within individuals and societies – we call it the shadow side because it is usually hidden from view. Many of us began to hide aspects of ourselves at a young age. I believe fear, anger, feeling devalued are handed down for generations until it is a part of our behaviors and beliefs that become part of the collective consciousness.  It is often why sustainable change is a challenge because we are unaware that we have become our ancestors and diminished our power of free choice.  Clearing the oaths, vows and beliefs that have been passed down can make room for new behaviors and development of our inner gifts. Ancestral Clearing is helpful and can create freedom for yourself and for future generations. If you are curious about your shadow parts and how to clear them through your ancestral line then please join me for a virtual Ancestral Clearing Session or Sessions. I will be offering a series of 4 sessions with the first one coming up on Tuesday, May 6 on Zoom. To learn more please visit my website: SusanBurrell.com/ancestral-healing-workshop

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Ashley M. Ryan (Pythian Priestess)   Guest Bio: Ashley M. Ryan, known as Pythian Priestess, is an initiated priestess in a Hermetic Order dedicated to the Goddess Auset (Isis). With over half her life dedicated to studying and practicing magick and witchcraft, she rose to TikTok fame in 2019 and founded the Pythian Mystery School in 2020. Ashley is a spiritual leader, educator, and advocate for reclaiming the sacred feminine in its wholeness—light and shadow alike.   Episode Overview: In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, Jason Rigby welcomes back Ashley M. Ryan, the Pythian Priestess, to discuss her evolving journey as a spiritual leader and the fierce, unapologetic nature of the divine feminine. Ashley shares her insights on sacred rage, the commodification of spirituality, and the importance of integrating the shadow self. Drawing from ancient archetypes like Black Isis, Kali, and the Black Madonna, she offers practical rituals and wisdom for women seeking wholeness in a world that often dilutes the sacred. The conversation explores themes of truth, resilience, and the balance of light and shadow, challenging the "love and light" narrative with a call to embrace the wild and transformative aspects of spirituality.   Key Themes:   1. Sacred Rage and the Warrior Archetype Ashley steps into the "warrior archetype" as a woman, not to destroy, but to defend truth, the sacred, and the mysteries (01:40). She connects this to her astrological birth chart (Saturn and Mars in the sixth house), emphasizing service and discipline (01:40).   2. The Dilution of Spirituality Ashley expresses grief over the commodification of spirituality, watching it become a "branded ATM" rather than a transformative tool (02:35). She critiques spiritual bypassing and the avoidance of pain, especially post-LA fires (03:32).   3. The Dark Goddess and Wholeness Referencing Dancing in the Flames by Woodman and Dickinson, Ashley explains the absence of the dark goddess in modern society and its damaging effects (04:41). Archetypes like Kali, Black Isis, and the Black Madonna embody resilience, fierce love, and the integration of suffering (16:06, 20:00).   4. Thumos: The Spirited Fire of the Soul Ashley introduces the ancient Greek concept of Thumos—righteous anger that defends truth and honor—contrasting it with the "love and light" narrative (10:39). She ties this to Plato's chariot allegory and the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot's Chariot card, symbolizing balance between the soul's appetites and higher aspirations (14:05).   5. Embracing the Shadow Ashley emphasizes that the shadow is not an enemy but a part of wholeness, urging listeners to alchemize pain into wisdom (33:50, 35:15). She shares a personal story of a nightmare at 15, revealing unexpressed rage and the unconscious mind's role in healing (23:04).   6. Practical Rituals for Integration Ashley offers two rituals: mirror gazing with a candle to confront the soul (28:38) and scrying with a black bowl to uncover unhealed wounds (30:11). She stresses the importance of action post-ritual, such as therapy or inner child work (32:53).   7. Fear and the Occult Addressing fear around witchcraft and the occult, Ashley attributes it to societal conditioning and the rejection of feminine archetypes (42:16). She invokes Ma'at (balance and justice) as a source of boldness to face suffering and reclaim the sacred (40:42).   Detailed Timestamps: 00:01 - Introduction: Jason welcomes Ashley back, noting her journey as Pythian Priestess and the success of her prior episode. 00:41 - Ashley's Current Calling: Ashley discusses stepping into the warrior archetype to defend truth and the sacred, inspired by her birth chart (Saturn and Mars in the sixth house). 02:35 - Sacred Rage and the Pythian Mystery School: Ashley reflects on the commodification of spirituality post-LA fires and her mission to restore its depth through the Pythian Mystery School and her podcast, The Occult Unveiled. 04:41 - The Dark Goddess: Introduction to Dancing in the Flames and the societal lack of the dark goddess, with Ashley advocating for women to "take up the sword" against patriarchal imbalance (05:25). 10:39 - Thumos and Truth: Ashley explains Thumos as righteous anger, linking it to Plato's chariot allegory and the tarot's Chariot card (14:05). She ties it to four virtues: wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance (12:00). 16:06 - Black Isis and Black Madonna: Ashley explores Black Isis as a symbol of suffering and resilience (17:13) and the Black Madonna as wisdom and realism (20:00), forged in chaos and fierce love. 22:08 - Teaching Wholeness at Pythian Mystery School: Ashley uses dreams and meditations to help students confront the unconscious and embrace the dark goddess (22:36). She shares a personal nightmare as an example (23:04). 28:38 - Practical Rituals: - Ritual 1: Mirror gazing with incense and a candle to see beyond the mask (28:38). - Ritual 2: Scrying with a black bowl and an invocation to uncover unhealed parts (30:11). 33:50 - Embracing the Shadow: Ashley reframes the shadow as a source of strength, not evil, and shares her hypnosis therapy experience to alchemize pain (37:07). 38:40 - Fostering Righteous Anger in the Mystery School: Through meditations, students meet archetypes and receive symbolic gifts (daggers, keys), fostering self-understanding (39:42). 42:16 - Overcoming Fear of the Occult: Ashley attributes fear to societal rejection of feminine archetypes and credits Ma'at for her boldness (40:42). 47:32 - Where to Find Ashley: Ashley shares links: pythianmysteryschool.com, Etsy (Pythian Priestess) for tarot readings, and YouTube for Pause with Pythian and free classes.   Notable Quotes: Ashley on Sacred Rage: "There is a lot of rage right now in our society... It is a warrior for truth. It's a warrior for the sacred and to defend the mysteries." (01:40) On Spirituality's Dilution: "I'm watching it become an ATM for people. It's lost its meaning and it's a tool that should be used." (02:35) On the Dark Goddess: "Light is blinding. Light hurts. It's about breaking through illusion." (10:11) On Thumos: "It's the passion and the fire in my soul to bring back the sacred into the world." (14:05) On the Shadow: "You can turn the poison into medicine because the change in the integration is saying, ‘Okay, so this is the symptom.'” (37:07)   Resources Mentioned: Book: Dancing in the Flames by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickinson (available on Amazon, eBay, and Internet Archive). Pythian Mystery School: pythianmysteryschool.com Podcast: Pause with Pythian (on YouTube as Pythian Priestess). Tarot Readings: Etsy (search "Pythian Priestess").

Uncover the Unconscious: Use a scrying bowl with an invocation to reveal unhealed wounds, then act on the insights (30:11). Honor Your Shadow: Recognize rage, jealousy, or pain as parts of you needing compassion, not rejection (33:50). Embrace Fierce Love: Reflect on how suffering has forged your resilience, drawing inspiration from Black Isis or Kali (16:06). Join the Journey: Explore Ashley's free meditations on Pause with Pythian or enroll in the Pythian Mystery School (47:32).   Closing Thoughts: This episode is a bold call to reclaim the sacred feminine in its entirety—fierce, wild, and whole.

Whether through rituals, shadow work, or her teachings at the Pythian Mystery School, she offers a path to truth and resilience in a world craving balance.

Brought to you by Paranormal Underground Radio Episode Date: 4.30.2025 Hosts: Karen Frazier, Chuckie G, and Cheryl Knight-Wilson Guest: Jason Masuoka Show Summary: In this episode of “Mindful Mystics,” we talk with tarot reader and teacher Jason Masuoka to explore how shadow work can uncover hidden beliefs, transform triggers, and support personal growth. Jason, Karen, Cheryl, and Chuck share real-life examples and practical tools — including tarot spreads, journaling, and Byron Katie's “The Work” — for recognizing and integrating the parts of ourselves we often hide. A candid, insightful conversation on reclaiming your authenticity and stepping into wholeness. Check out Jason Masuoka online at: https://www.tarotbyjason.com/ https://www.facebook.com/IntuitiveTarotByJason/ https://www.instagram.com/TarotByJason/ Resource: Byron Katie's “The Work”: thework.com Also check out: Paranormal Underground magazine: https://paranormalunderground.net/ Author and psychic medium Karen Frazier: https://www.authorkarenfrazier.com/#/ Paranormal Investigator and psychic medium Chuckie G: https://chuckieg.net/ Show Highlights: [01:14] Introducing Jason Masuoka Karen welcomes her longtime friend Jason Masuoka to the show, highlighting his background as a professional tarot reader and shadow work instructor. [04:22] What Is Shadow Work, Really? Jason breaks down the origins of shadow work through the lens of Carl Jung. He explains how unacknowledged aspects of the self can limit personal growth — and why integrating those parts leads to greater authenticity. [07:30] Why Can't I Just Hide My Shadows? Cheryl challenges the idea of needing to confront painful parts of the self. Jason explains that buried traits can lead to emotional triggers, repeating patterns, and self-sabotage — even if you're not consciously aware of them. [11:46] When Shadows Avalanche Cheryl describes how her shadow sometimes feels overwhelming, like an avalanche. Jason likens it to a mental script on loop and stresses the importance of regular “maintenance” to keep the shadow from taking over. [16:41] How to Spot a Shadow in Action The team discusses projections, transferences, and triggers as telltale signs of the shadow at work. Jason shares personal stories, including his childhood memory linked to the smell of chlorine, to illustrate how emotional reactions are often rooted in early experiences. [25:49] Cheryl's Struggle With Control Cheryl shares a vulnerable example about her shadow around control. Jason and Karen help her explore the gap between acknowledging a shadow and doing the actual work to shift it. Meditation and journaling emerge as powerful tools. [29:19] The Psychology of Motivation Karen introduces a formula for motivation: value × expectancy – cost. She and Jason explain how this applies to shadow work — if you don't believe you can change or see the value in it, you likely won't act. [43:19] Chuckie G's Story of Inherited Shame Chuck opens up about being called a failure by his father for years and how that shaped his self-perception. The group discusses how deeply held shadow beliefs can form through repeated messaging and remain even when logically untrue. [45:45] Tarot as a Tool for Shadow Integration Jason shares three custom tarot spreads designed to uncover shadow aspects, including “The Shadow Aspect Spread,” “The Mask and Hidden Truth Spread,” and a mirror-themed layout. He explains how tarot imagery speaks directly to the subconscious. [55:09] Questioning the Story: Byron Katie's “The Work” Karen walks Chuck and Cheryl through Byron Katie's four-question method. They each identify a limiting belief and experience emotional insight as they move through the turnarounds, illustrating how reframing stories can uncover hidden shadow material. [01:08:27] Where to Find Jason Jason shares how listeners can book readings or follow his weekly card pulls on Instagram and Facebook. He also teases upcoming classes and collaborations with Karen.
