How Horizontal Gene Transfer, Ancient Viruses, and Shamanic Practice Reveal the Porous, Shape-Shifting Truth of Your Body"The idea of a singular, static 'Self' is a biological lie."That's not science fiction.That's microbiology.Most people think their identity is a fixed, genetic blueprint. It's not. You are a fluid, dynamic ecosystem—an ongoing negotiation between ancient bacteria, viral fragments, and a microbial cloud that extends far beyond your skin.In this episode of the Boundless Body Podcast, Dr. Brian Tierney sits down with Simon van der Els—molecular microbiologist and shamanic practitioner—to shatter the myth of the isolated self. They reveal how mobile genetic elements don't just drive evolution; they are the biological blueprint for how culture, ideology, and personal identity can be decoded, disrupted, and renewed.⚡ What You'll Learn (And Unlearn)✅ Why your genome isn't a “consensus sequence” but a chaotic cloud of mobile elements✅ The evolutionary orgy that created complex life—and why it's still happening inside you✅ How horizontal gene transfer destroys the concept of a static species✅ Why an “initiatory illness” (existential depression) is often the price of entry into deeper knowing✅ The connection between memeplexes, rigid ideology, and the scaffolding of your embryonic self✅ Why “meta flexibility” is the only survival strategy for a disrupted biosphere✅ How shamanic practice decodes cultural rigidity just as science decodes genetic rigidity
#429 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Viola Rose about the collective sense of change happening in the world and why she believed people were being called to live more from the heart. Viola explained how the mind often created reality through duality, while the heart offered a path toward unity, love, and deeper inner peace. She shared practices for moving awareness from the head into the heart and described how this helped people heal trauma, quiet the mind, and live with more ease. They also discussed the Merkaba, sound healing, the power of the voice, and how nature, vibration, and frequency supported personal transformation. By the end, Viola reflected that while she did not claim to know all the answers, she had chosen to live with love, service, joy, and trust in the mystery of life. About Viola: I am a "Transformational Sound Artist" and have been combining Music and Healing as "Sound-Healing" in my own inspired way for over 25 years. A Multi-Instrumentalist and inspired Vocalist, I enjoy playing Handpan, Gong, various Flutes, Shamanic drum, Sansula, Didgeridoo, and more. Yet, for sure, my favorite instrument is my voice. I am a facilitator for Drunvalo Melchizedek's "School of Remembering". I completed my Teacher training with Drunvalo in 2012. Since then I have taught about 100 4-day Awakening The Illuminated Heart workshops to well over 1000 people all over the West coast and Hawaii, and over the last 3 years online as well. I have also shared this information at many transformational festivals and events. I am also a Certified Gong Practitioner - through Gong Master Metab Benton's school.

Today we're discussing one of the most intense and misunderstood aspects of spirituality: the shamanic death. This episode covers: What a shamanic death is The divine purpose of such a brutal initiation How it changes your worldview & capacity to engage with substances How it differs from a general spiritual awakening Dark night of the soul vs. shamanic death The difference between a personal awakening vs. being initiated for spiritual leadership Come back next week for part 2!

Most of us have been taught, in a thousand subtle ways, to treat death as the enemy: the thing to outrun, outwit, or simply not think about. In this episode, I want to offer you something different, and something so fundamental to Shamanic (and most other wisdom tradition) practice. This is the first of a two-part series on one of the most radical reorientations available to a human being: learning to work with death rather than against it — not as a morbid practice, but as one of the most life-affirming things you can do. I open with a personal story. A few years ago, in the middle of the night, I woke to find my room full of beings, including my root teacher. And I asked them, in the dark, whether I was dying. What happened next changed the way I understand death, initiation, trauma, patterns, and the parts of ourselves that have to go in order for something true to emerge. From there, we move into the cosmology: what Ernest Becker called our cultural denial of death, and what we lose by refusing to let it in. The difference between dying and killing. Grief as sacred duty. The Yaqui teaching of death as the activator of love. And what it means to live initiated rather than simply defended. Part Two — the practice — picks up where this episode ends. Come ready to go somewhere substantial, for we're not here to f**k spiders, mate.

We're at a pivotal moment in world geopolitics. Increasingly the masks and the gloves are both off - but it's not a binary choice any more between two sets of suits in slightly different coloured ties: now we have the right showing its true colours - and a chance for the progressive majority in this country to find its feet and lead us towards a genuinely thoughtful, emotionally literate, high-bandwidth politics that ditches the toxic tribalism and instead lays the ground for a future that could actually work. We're joined this week by Neal Lawson, co-founder and Executive Director of the progressive pressure group, Compass; and Rupert Read, Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project. Neal is a member of the Labour Party, and Rupert of the Green party and we came together to discuss the forthcoming by-election in Makerfield, where Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester is standing as a candidate, with a view to standing for leadership of the Labour Party if he wins. His main challenger is the Reform party led by Nigel Farage. The Greens are newly invigorated after their recent win in the Gorton and Denton by-election in Manchester, so there has been a lot of conversation in progressive circles as to whether the Greens should step away to give Burnham a clear run. This seemed a good moment to have a vigorous conversation - to explore the possibilities and potential and the routes forward should Burnham win.

A brief note. These episodes are being released during a five-week period when I am away and not tracking current events in real time. The archetypal patterns I offer are reliable. What is expressing them in the world right now is yours to hold alongside what I offer.___Completion, Crossing, and New BeginningSomething is completing and something is beginning this week. Venus, who has been moving through Cancer since mid-May, turning the relational field toward nurturing and genuine care, is preparing to leave. Before she goes, she has significant work to do.Key Cycles This Week:Tuesday, June 9: Venus conjuncts Jupiter in Cancer. Mercury in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries. Two movements pulling in different directions. Venus meeting Jupiter in Cancer amplifies what nourishes — warmth, generosity, the sense of genuine belonging. This is one of the more beautiful transits of recent weeks. Let it land. Let what is good be felt fully rather than held at arm's length by the urgency of everything else.At the same time, Mercury squares Saturn. The feeling mind meets hard reality. Difficult conversations may be necessary. The gap between what is longed for and what is currently possible becomes harder to ignore. Hold both. Expansion and honest reckoning are not contradictions in a genuine threshold time.Friday, June 12: Venus in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries. Before Venus leaves Cancer, she meets the Wounded Healer. This square touches old relational wounds — places where the longing for genuine belonging has met disappointment or the pain of being too much or not enough within systems never designed to hold the fullness of who you are. For many, this wound is not only personal. It is ancestral and collective.Venus square Chiron does not offer easy resolution. But the Shamanic tradition has always known that when a wound is brought into honest awareness and witnessed rather than managed, something in it begins to metabolize. What surfaces this week around old relational pain may be less a sign that something is wrong and more an invitation to witness what has long needed witnessing.Saturday, June 13: Venus enters Leo, remaining until July 9. The register shifts. Where Cancer sought quiet belonging and nourishment, Leo seeks expression, visibility, and the joy of being fully seen in one's vitality. This is not vanity. It is the soul's genuine need to be witnessed in its radiance, not only its tenderness. In a collective moment asking so much gravity and endurance, Venus in Leo is not a distraction. It is replenishment.Sunday, June 14: New Moon at 24 degrees of Gemini. The lunation cycle renews in the sign of the Communicator. In a field still charged by Uranus in Gemini, what wants to begin here is not a return to familiar patterns of thought but genuinely new perception. In a time when the information field is saturated and often deliberately disorienting, this lunation asks: what new way of knowing is trying to emerge in you, from your own direct experience rather than what you have been told?Plant that.Larger FrameThis week holds the full arc of Venus in Cancer — her expansion, her reckoning with old wounds, and her departure into Leo. What have you learned since mid-May about what genuinely nourishes you? Where has old relational pain asked to be witnessed? Venus carries what she has learned in Cancer into Leo. The nourishment becomes fuel for expression. The tenderness becomes the ground of genuine visibility.And the New Moon in Gemini opens a new chapter in how we think and communicate, with ourselves, with each other, with the larger world trying to find its new form.Reflection QuestionsWhere am I being invited to let genuine goodness or expansion actually land rather than holding it at arm's length?What old relational wound is asking to be witnessed rather than managed right now?As Venus moves into Leo and the New Moon plants new seeds, what wants to be expressed that has not yet had enough room?Let what is good be felt. Let what is wounded be witnessed. Let what is new have the quiet attention of this lunation.The web of life is always reorganizing toward something, even when we cannot yet see its full shape.Podcast poem: Wisdom of the Deer by Kent OsbourneIf this transmission has been useful, share it with someone who might need orientation in these times.Support the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

Send a MessageWhat is magic?Before spells, charms, talismans, and grimoires, there was a more fundamental question: what is the power that makes magic possible?In this episode of The Hidden Passage, we explore magical power as it appears across cultures, religions, folklore traditions, and esoteric systems throughout history. From the mana of Melanesia, to the orenda of the Huron, the heka of ancient Egypt, the dori of Amazonian shamans, and the qi of Daoist philosophy, we uncover a recurring vision of reality—one in which the world is alive, participatory, and permeated by hidden forces.Drawing on mythology, anthropology, religious studies, folklore, and historical accounts of magical practice, we examine:• The sacred origins of magical power• Mana, orenda, heka, qi, and other concepts of spiritual force• Sacred sites, magical objects, and the principle of contagion• Shamanic initiation and spirit-bestowed power• The evil eye and innate human potency• Asceticism, yoga, and the cultivation of mystical abilities• Magical causality and participation in the cosmos• The relationship between magicians, spirits, and the divine• Why magical traditions emerge across cultures worldwideFar from being irrational superstition, magical worldviews propose a radically different understanding of reality—one in which human beings participate directly in the deeper forces that shape existence.This episode serves as the foundation for a new series exploring the history, philosophy, and practice of magic.
Why Isn't Everyone Quantum Leaping? with James Wedmore James Wedmore crossed ten million in a single year. Not because he found a better strategy. Because he finally looked his deepest fear in the face. In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with James Wedmore, business strategist, digital entrepreneur, and the man behind Business by Design, one of the most respected online business programs in the world. But underneath the frameworks and the launch systems lives something most people never see coming: a full-blown wizard who works with a Toltec shaman, engineers shamanic deaths as a practice, and has come to believe that quantum leaps in business and the dissolution of identity are not separate events. They are two sides of the same coin. James went from broke, addicted to Adderall, and living in his parents' house working 14-hour days with nothing to show for it, to crossing two million, then quantum leaping to ten million in a single year. His turning point wasn't a new strategy. It was a lawsuit, a panic attack on his knees in Sedona, and the moment he finally faced the fear he had been quietly running from for years. Emily and James trace the full arc, from the discipline of no, to controlled folly, to shamanic death, to the moment you realize there is nowhere to get to and everything changes. In this episode, they explore: – What a quantum leap actually is and why it always defies logic and linear time – The invisible fear quietly pumping the brakes on your results – Shamanic death: what it is, how to recognize it, and why it precedes every quantum leap – Controlled folly: the Toltec principle of caring deeply while remaining completely unattached – Why more offers doesn't make you more money, it just makes you more busy – The discipline of no and how to build containers for your cutting edge work – Why your default future is the most important thing to look at first – How James went from throwing Abraham Hicks in the trash to living down the street from his shaman in Sedona – Why the quantum leap from two to ten million came the moment he stopped letting fear drive – Lucid dreaming, the dream realm, and what his shaman is doing while James sleeps Key Moments: 00:00 — Life force, wizards, and why James Trojan horses people with business 03:30 — From broke and addicted to Adderall to quantum leaping to $10M 08:00 — How the feminine opened James to everything 14:00 — Controlled folly: the hardest Toltec teaching James is still learning 22:00 — What a quantum leap actually is 28:00 — The lawsuit, the panic attack, and the moment everything changed 38:00 — Why conquering fear was the only strategy that worked 45:00 — The discipline of no and building layered containers 52:00 — Shamanic death explained and how to prepare for one 01:02:00 — There is nowhere to get to. Now what? 01:10:00 — Lucid dreaming and working with the shaman in the dream realm 01:18:00 — Cover yourself in Vaseline: the shaman's message for right now About James Wedmore James Wedmore is a business strategist, digital entrepreneur, and founder of Business by Design, one of the most respected online business programs in the world. After 20 years of building and scaling online businesses, James now helps entrepreneurs stop trading time for money and start building businesses that work without them. His work bridges practical systems with deep inner transformation. Podcast: Mind Your Business Podcast Website: https://jameswedmore.com

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
She walked into her first yoga class, cried on the floor, and didn't go back for two years. Then everything changed.Erin Hayes is a former actress, corporate professional, and now one of the most uniquely gifted teachers joining the IN Movement studio. Born in London, her path to yoga was anything but direct — it was forged through burnout, a life-altering reckoning, and a deep sensitivity to energy she's carried since childhood. From Bikram yoga in her teens to Reiki Grandmaster, Angelic Reiki Master Teacher, and yoga facilitator, Erin has spent years learning to get out of her own way so something greater can come through. Her teaching is built on three things: love, capacity, and transformation. She doesn't just hold space — she holds a lot of it.

In this episode of the Mystic Dog Mama podcast, I'm joined by Shamanic Dog Trainer, Tamryn Fudge, for a deeply expansive conversation exploring what becomes possible when we move beyond behavior modification, and begin relating to dogs through connection, cooperation, nervous system awareness, and deeper listening.Together, we explore the space where science and soul meet in our relationships with dogs. From modern dog culture and the limitations of compliance-based approaches, to intuition, regulation, energetic awareness, and ancient wisdom traditions - this conversation invites us to reconsider not only how we work with dogs… but how we live alongside them.Tamryn shares how her path evolved from veterinary medicine into dog training, animal communication, and then into a more relational and shamanic approach. She shares what she has learned through her work with dogs, humans, and Peruvian shamanic lineage teachings. We discuss the difference between compliance and cooperation, what dogs may be communicating beneath behavior, and how our own nervous systems, emotional patterns, and presence shape the relationship far more than many of us realize.We also dive into the realities of living with challenging dogs - reactivity, fear, sensitivity, overwhelm - and the profound ways these experiences can become portals into our own healing, self-awareness, and transformation.This episode is not about abandoning science or practical support. It's about widening the lens and asking deeper questions. It's about remembering that dogs are not simply beings to manage, but conscious participants in relationship.Inside this conversation, we explore:What “shamanic dog training” actually meansThe difference between compliance, cooperation, and connectionWhy behavior is often communication, not simply something to stop or fixHow dogs respond to our nervous systems, emotional states, and presenceWhat modern humans may be missing in our relationships with dogsHow challenging dogs can become catalysts for growth and healingTamryn's experience studying within a Peruvian shamanic lineageWhat ancient wisdom traditions can teach us about relationship, healing, and interconnectionHow to begin listening to your dog differently in everyday lifeWhy deep connection with dogs begins within ourselvesWhether you're navigating challenges with your dog, longing for a deeper relationship, or simply curious about what dogs might be helping us remember in this moment in time, this conversation offers a grounded yet expansive perspective on living in partnership with our dogs.Connect with Tamryn:https://tamrynfudge.caConnect with me:Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, First Light.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Lisa Biritz, author of Shamanic Soul Retrieval and the Shamanic Star Wisdom Oracle deck.Drawing from years of study in Core Shamanism, the Hawaiian Huna tradition, and teachings from respected lineage holders, Lisa brings a deeply experiential understanding of how ancient wisdom can support modern healing. Splitting her time between Hawaii and Austria, she leads seminars and immersive experiences that reconnect people to nature, spirit, and their own inner wholeness.In this fascinating conversation, Lisa introduces the concept of shamanic soul retrieval, the idea that parts of our soul can fragment and separate due to trauma, stress, or overwhelming life experiences. She explains how this “soul loss” can show up in our lives as low energy, disconnection, addiction, or a feeling that something essential is missing. Through practical insight and grounded examples, Lisa shares how these lost parts can be called back, restoring vitality, clarity, and a deeper sense of self.Together, Sam and Lisa explore what it truly means to be whole, not just as individuals, but as communities and even as a planet. They discuss how soul loss can affect relationships, societies, and our connection to the natural world, and how healing is possible on all levels. This episode is an invitation to look inward, reclaim what has been lost, and rediscover the light, strength, and completeness that have always been within you.Tune in and share your own questions and comments about energetic wholeness on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.LisaRainbow.comhttps://amzn.to/3QuTQuMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Thank you All!!! About Fotoula. Fotoula Adrimi is a spiritual teacher and co-founder of the ISIS School of Holistic Health, where she teaches the Path of the Living Light—ancient Egyptian spirituality received through direct transmission from the Goddess Isis. In her latets book Sacred Mysticism of Egypt, she draws on decades of lived practice, initiations, and pilgrimages to Egypt to reveal the Seven Gates of Awareness and the soul-remembered wisdom of the Golden Times. Her book, The Golden Book of Wisdom: Ancient spirituality and shamanism for modern times, is recognised as one of the best books on introductions to Shamanism. About The Book: Stepping onto Egyptian soil in 2006, Fotoula Adrimi's soul knew that this was home on Earth. Goddess Isis lifted the veil of time from her eyes, revealing an ancient world where spiritual awakening is possible and whose mysticism can be retrieved to help life now. These pages will remind you of ancient teachings aimed at rediscovering our origin as beings of light who have come to Earth to experience and awaken. Egypt is a source of fascination that keeps calling the soul back from one lifetime to the next. What is the source of power emanating from the temples, the statues of the gods and goddesses, and the strange images on the walls? What happens when we consciously enter the vortex of etheric energy placed deliberately by the ancients? We might find that we are never the same. This book takes us on a journey through time and space, through dimensions and different realities, through self-acceptance and self-love, to lead us back into our infinite spirit, where the source of magic exists Where to Buy: Amazon https://a.co/d/05pG7RZv If you enjoy the content on the channel, please support us by subscribing: Thank you All A formal disclosure: The opinions and information presented or expressed by guests on The Outer Realm Radio and Beyond The Outer Realm are not necessarily those of the TOR, BTOR Hosts, Sponsors, or the United Public Radio Network and its producers.

The Sacred Spiral: Unlocking The Individual’s Infinite Potentials by Dracaena A Paxx https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Spiral-Unlocking-Individuals-Potentials/dp/B0DJDWFF8W Synopsis: THE SACRED SPIRAL takes a Celtic path with many Shamanic tones. However, it is a major Truth that there is no one single “True Path”, and all symbols, as well as mythologies, resonate differently with all people. The Sacred Spiral is a compilation of rites and explanations of how’s and why’s for usage, for all paths are basically correct. Dracaena feels it is of utmost importance that a person learn to use their intuition, and The Sacred Spiral helps guide one to do that! She does not feel it is right for any one person to tell another whether they can or cannot learn something! Each person’s Spiritual evolution is different from others! Yet work must be done to earn respect and knowledge! Many people prefer and are very capable of learning with their own intuition. The Sacred Spiral will help empower one to understand many of the symbols and visions that come to them, which a person may use this wisdom to grow! Autobiography: Dracaena A. Paxx has been a mystic and practicing Druid for over 30 years. She has learned from many teachers and, in time, founded her group, THE SOCIETY OF THE WAXING MOON. The SOCIETY met weekly with rituals at regular intervals. The SOCIETY is now a Facebook group, and discussions are held continually. She has regularly taught the Society using many lessons found in this book and questions the group members would discuss at length. As many individuals search for mystical/ spiritual knowledge, she has compiled her teachings in this book. It is sad that so many obstacles are in the way of those who wish to study, so it is essential to Dracaena that everyone has access to this knowledge and learns to empower themselves. Dracaena has been married for over 25 years and has two adult children. She has a BS in education and a Master’s Degree in Social work in progress.
“Life and love are inseparable from each other,” said Meher Baba. Love, humanity, nature, and consciousness have co-evolved together. Long ago, humanity was one with love, one with all of creation, then we separated, and ever since, we have been trying to merge with the Beloved. We developed rituals and ceremonies that brought us back into wholeness, but when these magical ceremonies decreased in power, we developed stories to foster our connection. The era of great myths began in goddess cultures, where the Divine feminine Face of God was most prominent. The Great Goddess was comfortable in all the realms: in the heavens, on Earth, and in the dark mysteries of the underworld. But with the rise of gods and heroes around the middle of the Bronze age, the masculine principle became elevated, and the feminine became suppressed and marginalized. While this has resulted in some important scientific innovation, it has also caused imbalances both to our world soul (Anima Mundi) and to the individual psyches of humanity. “What we are experiencing is tantamount to a shamanic dismemberment. We need to dismember in order to remember; we need to put ourselves back together again in ways that are healthy and whole. We are compelled to reconstruct the whole out of what has been torn apart; we are being called to dig deeper into our psyche. When we go deep, we find Indigenous and feminine wisdom—and original love— buried in the depths of our unconscious.” Today, we will freely discuss how we can recover and redeem the perennial wisdom of Original love, as well the wisdom of Indigenous peoples and the Divine feminine. We will also welcome whatever else wants to come forward into this sacred dialogue with our esteemed guests Anne Baring and James O'Dea.Anne Baring, who I was first introduced to by some of my most treasured women friends, has for the past half century been doing her utmost to recover and redeem the Feminine Face of God, initially inspired by a powerful dream she had (which she can share if she wishes today). A Jungian analyst, Anne is the author or co-author of nine books, including The Myth of the Goddess (with Jules Cashford), The Birds Who Flew Beyond Time (with Andrew Harvey) , The Divine Feminine (with Seilla Elworhty, and more recently The Dream of The Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul, and Divine Wisdom and the Holy Spirit: The Forgotten Feminine Face of God. James O'Dea, who is the first person I gave my newly completed draft of a manuscript for Original Love to, is, similar to Anne, a long-term advocate for the awakening of soul, former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, the director of the Washington office of Amnesty International and the president of the Seva Foundation, and also the author of several important books, including Cultivating Peace, The Conscious Activist: Where Activism meets Mysticism, Soul Awakening Practice, and more recently some books with visionary artist Marika Popovits. Glenn Aparicio Parry's latest book Original Love was published on February 13, 2026 and is available wherever books or ebooks are sold.
From a young age, Kelly felt like a defender of the marginalized. Events in childhood and adolescence helped to grow her deep empathy, but she admits a desire to repair the world was growing in her from the moment she was born. After running a mental health program for youth and children in El Salvador for several years, Kelly realized two things: one, she was called to find the light in dark spaces...and to help others see it. And two, she needed to establish better boundaries. If she was to do the work she loved at a sustainable pace, she'd have to better understand and protect her own capacity. Her body was demanding it.Today, Kelly is a trauma-informed coach and healing practitioner who supports changemakers as they journey into healing, resilience, and sustainable life rhythms. This episode is for healers, leaders, caregivers, and for those who seek justice on behalf of others. If you've experienced burnout or compassion fatigue, and you've learned the delicate balance of defending others and protecting self, you're going to want to listen in. Kelly's story will help you remember why you chose the work you do in the first place.Sign up for Kelly's weekly Love Notes: https://www.kellylubeck.com/Enroll in Kelly's current program: https://www.kellylubeck.com/rootsofresiliencemarch2026Connect with Kelly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellylubeck/

Send Us a Message!You can ask Spirit for help and actually get an answer. Not as a vague sign you second-guess for weeks, but as a felt experience that brings clarity, comfort, and a next step you can act on.We'll explore:Soul Rising and learning to journey independently into the shamanic realmAsking Spirit for help and how support shows up through collaborationThe need for sacred containers where masks can soften safelyWhat the upper world is and how spirit guides differ from celestial beings or angelsHow the upper world may appear as light, clouds, temples, gardens, or symbolsReleasing expectations and receiving through sight, sound, feeling, scent, or knowingGuided journey: calling directions, traveling up, meeting a guide, receiving messages and giftsSharing experiences and invitations to connect with the communityWe start by reflecting on the impact of a Lower World journey to meet a Power Animal, including how quickly people discover, “Wait, I can do this.” From there we talk about what happens when we stop trying to muscle our way through growth alone. Christine shares a real-time story of divine timing and collaboration, the kind that lands right after you finally say, “Help me, meet me halfway.” We also explore why spiritual burnout is so common and how sacred containers, ceremony, and community support create the safety needed for vulnerability and real healing.Then we shift into an introduction to the Upper World in shamanism: a high-vibration realm of spirit guides, loving ancestors, angels, compassion, unity, and wisdom. We explain how the Upper World may appear as light, clouds, water, temples, gardens, or pure energy and why releasing expectations is key to receiving clear messages through the mind's eye and the senses. Finally, we lead a guided shamanic journey to the Upper World to meet your spirit guide, receive a message, exchange a gift, and return grounded with gratitude.If this lights something up in you, listen through, share your experience with us, and subscribe for more shamanic journeying, energy healing, and shamanic Reiki teachings.

In a culture where age is, at best, ignored, how do we rebuild a cohort of genuine Elders fit for the rapid transitions of the 21st Century: those who can combine the wisdom of wide boundary perspectives with the humility that allows flexibility of thinking, feeling and being? This is one of the core questions of our time and this week's guest is working to find answers. Alain Gauthier is co-founder and coordinator of the Regenerative Elder Process at the Elders Action Network. With John Izzo, he is co-host of The Way Forward Regenerative Conversations podcast and over his long life, he has been an international consultant, facilitator, coach, researcher-educator, and author. His book Actualising Evolutionary Co-Leadership: To Evolve a Creative and Responsible Society was published in 2014 - and is only available on Kindle (sorry) - but it is nonetheless a fascinating and inspiring read. A graduate from HEC (Paris), with an MBA from Stanford University, Alain was once a senior consultant at McKinsey & Company, As you'll hear, a life-changing experience led him to co-found Core Leadership Development in Oakland, California and to focus his professional work on developing co-leadership, partnering and coaching capabilities. Now in his eighties and as an elder, he devotes his time to co-creating conditions for elders to explore how they can live a regenerative life and collaborate with younger generations in transforming education and community life. Over the last seven years, he has been an active member of the Elders Action Network (EAN), where he initially led a visionary planning process and now co-leads the Regenerative Elder Process (REP) – which, this April (2026) is offering for the seventh time an in-depth exploration called Embodying Regenerative Worldviews. He co-leads the REP Community and is a member of the Advisory Council of Elders Rising, EAN's educational arm. This was a rich, deep and heart-felt podcast.

BES OF: The intersection of artificial intelligence and cosmic horror reveals a startling synergy. Neural networks possess a unique capacity to render the "indescribable" terrors of H.P. Lovecraft, manifesting non-Euclidean geometries and surreal visages that mirror ancient accounts of the spirit realm. This program explores the theory that technology acts as a modern scrying stone, tapping into the same "backend" of reality reached through dreams, NDEs, and shamanic states. From the therianthropic figures of cave art to the glitch-haunted aesthetics of AI-generated monsters, we examine whether these digital shadows are merely math—or a gateway to a very real, etheric "Upside Down" that our ancestors once called the land of the dead.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Send a textIn this episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes Shaman Abhay Oyun, a revered elder of an ancient Siberian shamanic lineage, for a conversation that bridges ancestral wisdom with modern relationships. Together, they explore how love, dating, and partnership are not merely psychological experiences, but energetic and spiritual journeys shaped by unseen forces, ancestral patterns, and higher guidance. As humanity moves through a time of profound change, this dialogue invites listeners to consider how ancient teachings can illuminate the deeper layers of intimacy, attachment, and soul connection.With more than 35 years of guiding individuals through sacred rituals, energy work, and ceremonial healing, Abhay shares powerful and moving stories from his life's work. He speaks of real encounters with spirits and ancestors, transformative healing experiences, and moments when individuals found clarity in love and direction in life through shamanic practice. Rather than offering abstract philosophy, he brings grounded, lived experience, demonstrating how spiritual encounters can dissolve emotional wounds, restore balance, and awaken a greater sense of purpose.Throughout the episode, Andrea holds space for a rich and heartfelt conversation about what it means to love in alignment with both spirit and humanity. Listeners will walk away reflecting on their own energetic patterns in relationships, the influence of ancestral history on romantic connection, and the possibility that love itself is part of a much larger evolutionary path. This is an invitation to expand your understanding of healing, to soften into mystery, and to open to a deeper, more conscious experience of connection.30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

They can be our teachers about the lessons we are currently learning in life. There are many interpretations of the symbolism of different animals that can be found on the internet. Animal medicine cards are also good sources for interpretation and messages, such as the deck by Jamie Sams, Stephen Farmer or the Druid Animal Oracle Deck by Phillip Carr-Gomm and Stephanie Carr Gomm. There are also books that share animal guide information such as Animal Speak by Ted Andrews. Animal Spirit guides exist in many indigenous cultures and traditions. A spirit animal is characterized by a personal relationship to the individual.

Spirituality an be a complicated messy business and it can be hard for a true seeker to find their way. If we jump right in without really thinking about what kind of spirituality we are engaging with it can be confusing and discourage one away from the path. In this teaching, we exam our presuppositions about what kind of spirituality we are engaging with in order to bring clarity and clear away some of the obstacles that block our progress.

As the old paradigm splinters into rage-filled, grief-stricken fragments, how can we lay the foundation for the total systemic change we so badly need?Even beyond the listeners to this podcast, it is obvious by now that there is no going back. As Oliver Kornetzke wrote in a particularly sharply written piece on Facebook back on 22nd January - before Alex Pretti was murdered by Trump's Federal Agents - what white America is not experiencing is not new, and is not a flaw in the system, it is the system. This is what he says in more detail: White Americans are not witnessing the collapse of something noble. They're witnessing the unveiling of what has always been true. The rot now visible is not a flaw in the foundation. Rather, it is the foundation. It was poured with concrete, inscribed into laws, and baked into the American mythos. The violence, the inequality, and the selective application of “justice”—none of it is a betrayal of the American promise. It is the American promise, applied unevenly by design.For centuries, Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities have lived under the weight of this system—disenfranchised, disappeared, surveilled, caged, and killed. They were told to be patient, to be peaceful, to vote harder, to “work within the system.” And when they told the unvarnished truth—that the system is the violence—they were mocked, criminalized, and ignored.Now the machinery begins to grind down those it once served, and only now does the shock begin to register. But this isn't the system breaking. It's merely the mask coming off.The laws of this land protects power and wealth. It has always protected power and wealth. The state defends itself. And democracy here has always been ornamental—used to sanctify what power had already decided. The rule of law is not impartial. It's a weapon, a performance, a convenience afforded to the privileged. The pageantry of justice is reserved for those never meant to feel its weight.What you're seeing now is not the end of the American dream. It is the truth of the American reality, finally uninterested in disguising itself. The empire is simply turning inward.Many will not want to read this. They will flinch, deflect, and rationalize. They will call me divisive, bitter, and extreme. They will attack, argue, and dismiss. And in doing so, they will only prove the point by choosing their comfort over clarity, and their denial over responsibility. Because that, too, is by design: the privilege of ignoring the truth until it shows up at your own door.So what do we do? It is a founding principle of this podcast that there is still time to turn the bus that is humanity from the edge of the cliff of species-level extinction. We believe the Egregor, the Super-Organism, the death cult of predatory capitalism... whatever you like to call it, is in its death throes. In its flailing, it might yet take us all with it, but that's not a given and in every single act of compassion, courage and community that we're seeing around the world from Greenland, to Venezuela, to Minnesota and beyond, we are building the leading edge of a new system. But we need a spiritual base to this. I genuinely think we get through only if we can lift ourselves out of our Trauma Culture and into a new way of being - an Initiation Culture fit for the twenty first century. We talk about this a lot on the podcast, and sometimes, we talk to other people who get this, and who are working explicitly towards a shift in consciousness of the whole human race. Today's episode is one of those. Our guest is Marc-John Brown who describes himself with characteristic humility, as an integration coach, transpersonal life coach, and spiritually-oriented business coach. Since 2019, he has been an apprentice of the Shipibo-Konibo tribe of the Peruvian Amazon Jungle and an ally and collaborator among multiple other living indigenous peoples. Having met him, I'd say that Marc-John is deeply connected with the spirits of the land in a way that is both profoundly wise, and deeply grounded. He is one of those who comes to Elderhood at a young age, moving through the world with dignity and humility, helping others to reach the core of what it is to be human at this moment of total transformation. Born and raised in Scotland, he has a deep spiritual connection to south America and to the indigenous peoples of that land. With his wife, Erika Huarcaya a native Peruvian of the Chanka peoples, Marc-John runs the Native Wisdom Hub, which seeks to bring people of our culture - the white, western culture that is currently eating itself alive - into authentic, enduring connection with the web of life such that we can all begin to change the way we are in the world. On a recent Substack post, Marc-John says, 'We believe that, in large part, healing happens through nervous system co-regulation between indigenous wisdom keepers and modern seekers. Building healthy relationships. Creating psychological safety. Allowing trust to grow where mistrust has festered.'So this conversation delves deeply into the nature of the trauma we experience - and how we might heal the relationships between all parts of ourselves, ourselves and each other, ourselves and the web of life.

MagaMama with Kimberly Ann Johnson: Sex, Birth and Motherhood
In this episode, Kimberly speaks with Jane Hardwicke Collings, a post-menopausal grandmother, former midwife, and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft. They explore how the lessons learned from the natural childbirth movement must now be applied to menopause, discussing what Jane calls "sage-escence," the becoming of the wise woman. Jane shares her journey from hospital nurse to home birth midwife, how her midwifery awakened her to the patriarchy's medicalization of women's bodies, and why she sees a natural menopause movement emerging. They dive deep into the connections between all rites of passage, from menstruation to birth to menopause, and examine how unresolved trauma surfaces during these transitions. The conversation also explores sexuality and the erotic through life's seasons, the impact of childhood trauma on menopausal symptoms, body shame, aging, and the cultural pressure toward hormone therapy versus embracing natural processes. Bio Jane Hardwicke Collings is a post-menopausal grandmother, mother of a blended family with four adult children and four grandchildren. A former Registered Nurse who worked in Paediatric Intensive Care Units and Women's Operating Theatres, she became a midwife at 26 and left the hospital system so as not to be complicit with institutionalized acts of abuse and violence on women and babies masquerading as safety. She was a homebirth midwife for 30 years in city and rural areas of Australia. Jane carries the lineage of Shamanic Midwifery from her teacher Jeannine Parvati Baker and created the School of Shamanic Womancraft in 2009, an international Women's Mystery School. She travels internationally giving workshops on the wisdom of cycles, the spiritual practice of menstruation, sacred dimensions of pregnancy, birth, and menopause, and reclaiming women's rites of passage. She also offers teacher training, books, and e-courses. Jane is a co-creator of Hygieia Health, a not-for-profit with a mission to create freestanding birth centers and fund homebirth. She lives in the bush on the edge of a forest in New South Wales, Australia, committed to walking her talk and treading lightly on the earth. She sees herself as an Agent of the Goddess, a Priestess at the altars of transformation.

Escaping the New Age Trap & Seeking Authenticity with Laura Shamanic Self This episode dives into a hard, unvarnished conversation about spiritual authenticity, deception, and the traps people fall into when they first break away from organized religion or mainstream narratives. Ryan opens by reflecting on how questioning everything can be liberating but also destabilizing, especially when old belief systems collapse and the alternatives—New Age teachings, "gurus," channelers, star-seed mythologies, and spiritual authority figures—often carry their own hidden agendas. He emphasizes his commitment to staying open, critical, and self-interrogating, even when perspectives clash, and he acknowledges that not every spiritual experience or teacher is fraudulent—there are glimpses of genuine love, beauty, and authenticity worth fighting for. Laura, founder of Shamanic Self, joins the show to break down her journey out of the New Age movement and explain why she believes much of it is a sophisticated trap. She discusses how people awakening to deeper truths often get funneled directly into another belief system that feeds their ego, siphons their energy, and pushes them toward external entities, "guides," and false cosmologies rather than their own inner knowing. Laura describes the years she spent following prominent New Age figures, the moment her life collapsed under their guidance, and how that crisis ultimately became her exit ramp. She outlines her current approach to intuitive work, one built on inner discernment, rejecting external "guides," and avoiding anything she sees as astral interference or AI-like deception. The conversation goes deep into metaphysics, soul contracts, resets, the nature of consciousness, why certain public spiritual figures may be controlled opposition, and how to navigate a world distorted by misinformation and hijacked belief systems. Despite clear disagreements, both maintain a grounded respect for one another's perspectives. The episode ends with a shared commitment to seeking truth, staying sovereign, and not surrendering personal power to any system claiming to have all the answers. WEBSITE: https://www.shamanicself.com/ ---------------- Takeaways include" Many people escaping religion fall directly into another trap—the New Age—because it appears liberating while quietly redirecting power away from the individual. Authentic spiritual insight requires discipline, inner work, and the ability to distinguish intuition from astral manipulation or external influence. Not all "gurus," psychics, or channelers are malicious, but many deliver harmful guidance, feed ego, or operate as controlled narratives. Sovereignty comes from grounding in personal intuition, not outsourcing authority to entities, guides, movements, or ideologies. Even within a world filled with deception, personal experiences of love, beauty, and genuine connection remain proof that not everything is corrupted—and those glimpses are worth defending. ---------------- Shamanic Self, spiritual authenticity, New Age deception, inner sovereignty, discernment, shamanic practice, matrix reality, astral interference, soul contracts, awakening, controlled opposition
