Church planting involves people, prayer, and the teaching of God's word—but sooner or later—every church planter runs headlong into a very practical question: where do we actually gather? In a city like London, that question isn't a footnote—it's a weekly dilemma. Do you invite strangers into your home, or relegate meetings to public spaces until trust is built? When does a Bible study become a church family, and what kind of space helps that happen? And what do you do when historic church buildings are closing, but you've been priced out? Today's conversation is about that tension: staying faithful to evangelism and discipleship while navigating a city where “space” is scarce, expensive, but important.Our guest is Brian Clark, an experienced church planter who previously planted a church in London in the Chislehurst area—and by God's grace, that work is now healthy and autonomous. Brian and his family are now stepping out to plant a second church, but even with experience and a deep knowledge of the city, he's facing fresh uncertainties: how to build fellowship, how to move from street evangelism to intimate community, and how to think creatively about meeting spaces when traditional options feel out of reach.Visit https://lfbi.org/learnmore

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!As a child, Christie Williams was drawn to the unknown, fueled by late-night television and the quiet thrill of unanswered questions. Shows like Unsolved Mysteries, hosted by Robert Stack, didn't just entertain her — they planted the idea that some mysteries refuse to stay buried.That fascination followed her into adulthood, evolving into hands-on paranormal investigation, the ownership of a haunted home, and eventually a museum filled with objects said to carry their own histories and energies. Over time, Christie noticed patterns that raised an unsettling question: when haunted objects are placed inside an already active space, does the activity intensify?Her experiences suggest the answer isn't simple. Objects tied to trauma, memory, or unresolved emotion don't always remain passive. Within a space already charged with paranormal activity, they can seem to interact, amplify, or even provoke responses that feel intentional.Christie's story explores the intersection of curiosity and consequence — what happens when the desire to understand the paranormal turns into daily coexistence with it, and how some objects may bring more with them than their owners expect.#TheGraveTalks #HauntedObjects #ParanormalInvestigation #OdditiesMuseum #HauntedHomes #TrueParanormal #Unexplained #ParanormalStories Love real ghost stories?

Join Gary and Jamie as they talk about what goes into designing large spaces, including how to make it feel cozy, inviting, and all of the rest! We also discuss maximizing the potential of large spaces, layout and zoning strategies, design elements and furnishings, as well as enhancing functionality and comfort.

Eighteen years in, and we're still in the middle of reinvention. From starting Hilliard Studio Method in borrowed spaces to navigating real estate pressure and big-city change, this conversation gets honest about what it takes to build a business rooted in community; not ego or profit. We talk about aging without apology, trusting yourself when the noise gets loud, and why protecting the people who make your business what it is will always come first. If you're building something from the heart and refusing to let fear run the show, this one's for you.   Local Charlotte Businesses You Can Support: Supperland – A Plaza Midwood restaurant in a restored church, run by Jeff Tonidandel & Jamie Brown, who invest in community and historic preservation Laurel Market – A beloved neighborhood deli and market with decades of Charlotte history, now entering a new chapter as it relocates after 35+ years Bond Street Wines – A local wine shop and tasting room that brings people together over thoughtfully curated bottles and community events   3 Truths About Building a Community-Driven Business: Lead with impact first, and let the money catch up. The strongest businesses aren't built by chasing profit; they're built by solving real problems for real people. When your work genuinely improves lives, financial success becomes a byproduct, not the goal. Reinvention is part of longevity, not a sign of failure. Every long-lasting business will be forced to evolve, by aging, markets, or circumstances beyond your control. The key isn't avoiding change, but adapting without abandoning the values that made your business matter in the first place. Community doesn't live in a building, it lives in trust. Spaces may change and platforms may shift, but people stay where they feel seen! Whether in person or online, consistency, care, and connection are what turn customers into a community.

Alayna doesn't mind sitting in the in-between. She doesn't rush over silence in conversation, preferring to wait for the right words to make themselves clear before speaking. Watching her mind work in that quiet pause, it almost feels as though she's hovering just above the rest of the world, taking it all in, processing, endlessly transforming. Alayna's new album, Set Her Free (out February 13 via Nettwerk), could not have been written by anyone else for this reason: her singular observational skill. alayna was feeling burned out after the self-excavation that was making and releasing her first album, Self Portrait of a Woman Unravelling, back in 2023

From the outside, his childhood looked ordinary. There were no warnings, no labels, no reason to believe anything unusual was happening. And yet, from an early age, moments kept surfacing that refused to settle into normal explanations.It started quietly. A voice saying his name when no one was nearby. Spaces that felt occupied without being threatening. A sense of presence that didn't demand attention, but made itself known anyway. As he grew older, these moments followed him from house to house—never dramatic enough to force belief, never subtle enough to dismiss entirely.Years later, nothing has returned. Nothing has followed him. And yet certain doorways still make him pause. Certain rooms still feel different. Not out of fear—but because the question never left. Not what happened.

In this episode of Hidden in The Shadows Podcast, Megan and Isaac dive into the eerie and fascinating world of liminal spaces, those strange in-between places where reality feels suspended and the veil between dimensions thins. From haunted neighborhoods to abandoned buildings, dreams that echo real-life events, and the curious “mall world” phenomenon, they explore how these thresholds spaces intersect with the paranormal.Isaac shares his journey of mishearing his spiritual name and discovering his true essence as a “keeper of souls,” while Megan breaks down how she navigates liminal spaces for healing and remote viewing. Together, they examine how spirits, entities, and even human consciousness can interact in these otherworldly realms from backrooms and dreamscapes to everyday places that suddenly feel “off.”Whether you're a paranormal enthusiast, a dream explorer, or someone curious about the liminal, this episode will take you deep into the spaces between worlds and the hidden layers of reality.Music CreditsIntro and Outro Music: “Swamp Witch”Additional Intro Music: “Stacy Dahl” by MaudlinFollow Maudlin on TikTok and Instagram: @maudlinListen to Hidden in The Shadows Podcast on Spotify and YouTubeShare Your Paranormal ExperiencesSend us a message on social media, fill out our contact form, or email us:

Embarrassing details of a group chat where Jen McCabe makes plans to follow around innocence fraudster & blogger Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney in a friend's car have been released to the public. McCabe's lack of judgement might have been something Karen Read knew about McCabe's before she chose to reverse her 6,000 pound Lexus into John O'Keefe and decided to mix in the innocent people as witnesses in her crime. On the innocent Karen Read witnesses' “Testify” website they claim they would like to help other unnamed court witnesses who were victims of harassment. How can they help others if they can't help themselves after being smeared by Karen Read's innocence fraud campaign?Show Sponsor - Shelley Levisay "Love Isn't Always the Answer" - https://a.co/d/6KtEaC3 GetGet access to exclusive content & support the podcast by a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a chanel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinShow Notes:Lindsey Gaettani on X - https://x.com/lindseygaetani/status/2016939405643006228?s=46&t=QYSCN5--uh3-3EcMJ5GVBwInnocence Fraud Watch “Kate Peter Rants on Spaces on X” - https://rumble.com/v74yzmm-kate-peter-ranting.htmlInnocence Fraud Watch “Lydia Rodarte Quayle is a Liar” - https://rumble.com/v74a5ww-lydia-rodarte-quale-from-the-fourensic-room-is-a-liar.htmlRoberta Glass True Crime Report “Will Karen Read's Magical Distraction Campaign Work” - https://www.youtube.com/live/Wrb5gLD8fkI?si=_GvM-hlHMT1aYoARYellow Cottage Tales Spaces on X (Kevin Lenihan) - https://x.com/ourx_vault/status/2016992286995824852?s=12Aidan Kearney on X - https://x.com/doctorturtleboy/status/2016966702714802633?s=46&t=QYSCN5--uh3-3EcMJ5GVBwThank you Patrons!Beth, Shelley Safford, Carol Mumumeci, Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

Laura Williams, founder of Living Oak Design in Austin, Texas, joins the show to share her remarkable journey from opera singer to sought-after interior designer. Growing up in a creative family of musicians and artists, Laura always had an eye for design—she was the kid constantly rearranging furniture in her room. After studying opera through college and working in the fast-paced design scenes of New York City and Miami, Laura developed the grit and work ethic that would later fuel her entrepreneurial success. When she became a mother, she stepped away from corporate life to focus on her young children, but her passion for design never faded.What started as a part-time venture while her kids were in school has evolved into a thriving full-service design firm with a team of seven, a retail showroom, and projects spanning full home renovations to intimate bathroom refreshes. Laura's design philosophy centers on creating cozy, lived-in spaces that reflect the personalities and needs of the families who inhabit them. She believes in timeless design over trends, incorporating meaningful heirlooms and personal stories into every project. Her approach has resonated particularly well with families navigating the same life stage she's in, as she understands firsthand the practical considerations of designing kid-friendly yet sophisticated spaces.Beyond her design work, Laura is launching her podcast "Here With Laura," expanding her retail store with monthly community events, and dreaming of creating a Magnolia-style experience with Living Oak stores across the country. She shares candid insights about learning to delegate as her team grows, the importance of finding your community when starting a business, and her philosophy that "busy is a choice." Laura's story is a testament to turning creative passion into a successful business while maintaining balance as a present mother and entrepreneur.

The panel explored the intersection of natural and man-made materials in landscape design, highlighting the balance between aesthetic, sustainability, and functional concerns. Participants discussed how interior and landscape designers borrow nature to create cohesive environments, including outdoor “rooms” and hardscape features softened with plantings. Material selection — stone, metal, glass, composite decking, and synthetic turf — was debated, with attention to local sourcing, durability, environmental impact, and client expectations. The panel also emphasized the sensory experience of landscapes, touching on sight, sound, smell, and taste, and how design can evoke memory and emotion. Sustainability, fire safety, maintenance, and longevity were recurring themes, particularly in the adoption of synthetic materials that mimic natural ones while reducing environmental or upkeep costs. Borrowed landscape: Using surrounding natural colors and textures to inform material choices in hardscape design. Softening hardscape: Plantings and layered design to maintain depth without overwhelming the property. Context-appropriate material selection: Stone, metal, glass, gravel, and concrete chosen according to environment, use, and climate. Trend toward natural imperfection: Broken edges, less precision, biophilic design responding to a highly digital, precise world. Sustainability tensions: Balancing natural and synthetic materials for longevity, cost, and environmental impact. Synthetic decking and recycled composites: TimberTech and similar products for durability, low maintenance, and fire safety. Artificial turf considerations: High-use areas, water savings, lifespan, recycling challenges. Sensory-driven design: Sight, sound, smell, and taste incorporated into landscapes for holistic human experiences. Childhood memory and emotional recall: Design that evokes personal sensory memory for users. Fire and climate constraints: Materials must meet modern safety and insurance standards.

Most people think they're burned out because of what they have to do. They're missing a huge contributor when they don't also look at where they do it. In this episode, Garrett Wood shares neuroscience based insights on how the built environment can impact productivity, executive function, cognitive presence and energy levels.  The world is biased towards a sensory setpoint that was deemed "normal." Unfortunately, most people don't match this setpoint. An environment filled with sensory micro-stressors adds an extra stress load. Spaces that overwhelm even one sense can fragment your attention and generally require you to give more effort than the task should require. Environmental sensitivity is not an introvert/extrovert thing. We often give energetic pushes to meet a deadline but fail to give ourselves recovery time making the workplace ground zero for stress and burnout. A sign of burnout is going into energy conservation mode where we can't seem to resist things like binge watching or doom scrolling because our brain needs a break.

This week, Jason is joined by two people who have grown in this space together and are now building life side by side in the business and personally,  Giannina Gibelli and Blake Horstmann!You know Giannina from Netflix's Love is Blind and Blake from The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, but what's really exciting is the chapter they're in right now. They are parents, got engaged, planning a wedding and recently started co-hosting different and together, which means they're not just sharing a life, but sharing ideas, goals, and building something as a team. Blake and Giannina open up about what getting engaged looked like after becoming pregnant, how Blake chose the ring (and the conversation around diamonds vs. lab-grown), and how their spending habits have evolved over the years. Giannina shares how motherhood has reshaped her content and brand partnerships, including behind-the-scenes insight into some of their biggest deals, the noise that comes with the mom-content space, and how they protect their peace—and their child. They also dive into the financial realities of having a baby, talking money in therapy, Blake's loyalty to Southwest Airlines, the time, energy, and investment poured into their home, and why the nightclub industry is currently struggling. From navigating the “love tax” when booking wedding vendors to refusing to compromise on what they truly want (with a little girl math sprinkled in), they reflect on what the future holds in entertainment—and the advice they'd give their younger selves.Blake and Giannina reveal all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Giannina Gibelli & Blake Horstmann Stay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast! Instagram: @tradingsecretspodcast Youtube: Trading SecretsFacebook: Join the Group All Access: Free 30-Day Trial Trading Secrets Steals & Deals!Square:With Square, you get all the tools to run your business, with none of the contracts or complexity.

When a missionary or pastor plants a church, they're not just gathering people—they're making decisions that quietly shape the work for years to come. And one of the decisions that carries great weight is that of “space.” Where do we meet? When do we start on Sundays? How do we stay nimble and mission-focused without being homeless—or overbuilt? Today's conversation sits right in that tension: the blessings a building can provide, and the burdens it can introduce, especially when the work is still small and the people are still growing.My guest today on the Postscript is Blade Sbisa, a church planting pastor in St. Louis who's just getting the work on the ground with a small team. Blade recently stepped into a rare opportunity to purchase a church building at a phenomenal price—complete with a parsonage—before the plant is really ready to use it. So what do you do when the building is bigger than the congregation? How does it effect the culture and set expectations? Blade is thinking through it all in real time, and his process will help a lot of planters—and sending churches—think more clearly about buildings, stewardship, and the work of making disciples.For more information, please follow the link to read this episode's notes.Visit https://lfbi.org/learnmore

In this episode of the Conscious Fertility and Beyond Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown speaks with Dr. Garret Yount, a molecular neurobiologist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Dr. Yount shares his groundbreaking research on consciousness, biofield science, and self-healing. From personal experiences with clairvoyance at age 13 to NIH-funded research on Qigong and energy healing, his journey bridges rigorous science with ancient practices. The conversation explores lucid dreaming as a healing tool for PTSD, the placebo effect at the genetic level, and why cultivating awareness of our “vibes” can transform health and wellbeing.Key Takeaways:Biofield science explained: A modern scientific framework for understanding chi, prana, and subtle body energies.Placebo power: Belief and intention can regulate gene expression, proving the mind's profound healing potential.Qigong in the lab: Experiments show possible effects of emitted Qi on cell cultures, but reproducibility challenges highlight the mysterious “trickster” nature of consciousness research.Lucid dreaming for PTSD: Structured workshops reduced symptoms significantly, showing subconscious healing potential through dreamwork.Vibes matter: Conscious, subconscious, and superconscious vibes shape our interactions, health, and sense of connection.Dr. Garret Yount's Bio:Garret Yount, PhD, is a molecular neurobiologist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) where his research focuses on laboratory-based models of exceptional human abilities. He obtained his BS from the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology at the Pennsylvania State University and his PhD from the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He began his formal studies in consciousness research with a small grant from the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1995, which allowed him to work with biofield practitioners and spiritual healers in the laboratory. Since then, Dr. Yount has conducted carefully controlled laboratory experiments with spiritual healers and biofield practitioners from around the world, including China, Brazil, Canada, USA, Japan, India, Russia, Hungary, and Sri Lanka, and was fortunate to be among the first scientists to be awarded a Research Project Grant (R01) from the National Institutes of Health to study energy healing. He is the author of Why Vibes Matter: Understand Your Energy and Learn How to Use it Wisely.Where to find Dr. Garret Yount:Website: https://noetic.org/profile/garret-yount/Book “Why Vibes Matter” : https://noetic.org/why-vibes-matter-book/ Online Course - The Energy of People, Places, and Spaces -

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Deanna Van Buren and Adrienne Hogg to the Restorative Works! Podcast.  We are joined by Deanna Van Buren, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces (DJDS), and Adrienne Hogg, Co-Executive Director of Community Works. Together, we explore how spaces, rooms, buildings, and environments in which we gather directly shape our nervous systems, our sense of dignity, and our ability to repair harm. Deanna reframes "trauma-informed design" as designing for well-being, offering a body–mind–spirit lens on how spaces can regulate, inspire, and care for us. Adrienne shares how Community Works brings this philosophy to life by creating warm, culturally rooted, non-institutional spaces where young people, survivors, families, and staff feel seen, grounded, and capable of restoration.  From reimagining classroom design in higher education to redefining what justice spaces can communicate, the conversation weaves together architecture, community wisdom, creative practice, and systems change. Both guests illuminate how co-designing that deeply involves communities, including those most impacted by harm, becomes its own restorative practice.  Deanna Van Buren is the co-founder and executive director of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces. An architecture and real estate nonprofit working to end mass incarceration through place-based solutions, DJDS builds infrastructure that addresses its root causes: poverty, racism, unequal access to resources, and the criminal justice system itself. Van Buren has been profiled by  The New York Times and has written op-eds on the intersection of design and mass incarceration in outlets such as Politico, Architectural Record, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. Her TEDWomen talk on what a world without prisons could look like has been viewed more than one million times. She is the only architect to have been awarded the Rauschenberg Artist as Activist fellowship, and she is also the recipient of UC Berkeley's Berkeley-Rupp Architecture Prize and Professorship. Van Buren received her bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Virginia and her master's degree from Columbia University, and she is an alumna of the Loeb Fellowship at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.  Adrienne Hogg is co-executive director at Community Works.  In this role, she focuses on finance, administration, and operations in addition to working with her co-executive director on strategic and development activities. Prior to joining Community Works, Adrienne founded Gather Locally, a startup e-commerce technology company.  Before starting Gather Locally, Adrienne was the head of finance and controller for several public and private corporations in the life sciences and construction industries, where she managed accounting, finance, human resources, legal, and facilities. She is an Oakland native who received bachelor's and master's degrees from the UC Berkeley, Haas School of Business.  Tune in to learn more about how the spaces we build reflect the futures we believe in.

(00:00:00) First, we visit the Center for Post Natural History, a one‑of‑a‑kind museum dedicated to documenting the living organisms that have been intentionally altered by humans, from early agricultural domestication to cutting‑edge genetic engineering. Since 2008, the Center has sparked public dialogue about our growing role as evolutionary agents, using exhibitions, workshops, and multimedia storytelling to illuminate the profound entanglement between human culture and the natural world. Featured by outlets like WESA, WHYY, BBC World Service, National Geographic, and Science Friday, the Center challenges us to rethink what “nature” even means in the 21st century. (00:22:39) Then, we shift from biological evolution to social identity with Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, renowned psychologist, bestselling author, and former president of Spelman College. Ahead of her Black History Month appearance at Dickinson College, Tatum joins us to discuss belonging, identity formation, and the institutional work required to create inclusive, psychologically safe learning environments. Drawing from her landmark book Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and her newest work, Peril and Promise, she reflects on the pressures facing higher‑education leaders and the urgent need for communities that support all students.

This episode of Nurah Speaks is a deeply personal reflection on love, loss and what I've learned from grief.In Episode 260, “Losing Ellen,” I chronicle the story of losing my grandmother, Ellen, and walk listeners through my experience before and after her passing along with what grief has revealed to me along the way.Losing my grandmother was an excruciating loss—filled with agony and heartbreak—but also with moments of profound love and deep gratitude. Those who have accompanied a loved one through their final days understand this painful irony: the trauma of loss co-occurring with all the beautiful, tender and loving moments just before.On Nurah Speaks, we do not shy away from life's hard but important truths. Death can arrive in a single moment or it can unfold slowly through a series of moments of months or even years. How we manage death— the acceptance of it as a normal part of life—can help us survive the very, very lows while honoring the love that remains.This episode is for anyone navigating grief, learning how to carry the love that remains and discovering who they are now, after loss.If you watch the live recording of this episode on the Nurah Speaks Youtube channel, I include some of my favorite photos of my grandmother with friends and family.WHEN GREAT TREES FALLMaya AngelouWhen great trees fall,rocks on distant hills shudder,lions hunker downin tall grasses,and even elephantslumber after safety.When great trees fallin forests,small things recoil into silence,their senseseroded beyond fear.When great souls die,the air around us becomeslight, rare, sterile.We breathe, briefly.Our eyes, briefly,see witha hurtful clarity.Our memory, suddenly sharpened,examines,gnaws on kind wordsunsaid,promised walksnever taken.Great souls die andour reality, bound tothem, takes leave of us.Our souls,dependent upon theirnurture,now shrink, wizened.Our minds, formedand informed by theirradiance,fall away.We are not so much maddenedas reduced to the unutterable ignoranceof dark, coldcaves.And when great souls die,after a period peace blooms,slowly and alwaysirregularly. Spaces fillwith a kind ofsoothing electric vibration.Our senses, restored, neverto be the same, whisper to us.They existed. They existed.We can be. Be and bebetter. For they existed.For more information on grief, I included two helpful links below: •https://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/•https://grief.com/10-best-worst-things-to-say-to-someone-in-grief/If you would like to engage with the podcast, submit your listener questions to info@NurahSpeaks.com.  Listeners can also learn more by visiting NurahSpeaks.com.You can follow Nurah Speaks on X, Instagram and Facebook @NurahSpeaks and subscribe to the channel on YouTube.Remember, don't just Join the Movement, Be the Movement!

Spaces of Anticolonialism: Delhi's Urban Governmentalities (U Georgia Press, 2025) is the first book-length account of anticolonialism in Delhi, as the capital of Britain's empire in India. It pioneers a spatial governmentality analysis of the networks, mobilizations, and hidden spaces of anticolonial parrhesia, or courageous speech and actions, in the two decades before independence in 1947. Reading across imperial and nationalist archives, newspapers, memoirs, oral histories, and interviews, Stephen Legg exposes subaltern geographies and struggles across both the new and old cities, which have traditionally been neglected in favor of the elite spaces of New Delhi. Presenting the dual cities as one interconnected political landscape, Legg studies Indian National Congress efforts to mobilize and marshal support between the mass movements of Civil Disobedience (1930-34) and Quit India (1942-43). The book's six chapters compare the two movements in terms of their public spaces of nonviolent anticolonialism, their problematization by violence, and their legacies. This bottom-up analysis, focused on the streets, bazaars, neighborhoods, homes, and undergrounds of the two cities, foregrounds the significance of physical and political space; it  highlights the pioneering role of women in crafting these spaces; and it exposes the microtechniques that Congress used to encourage Gandhi's nonviolence and to tolerate its testing in the face of the rising popularity of the radical left. Legg's rereading of Michel Foucault's final lectures on parrhesia produces a bold new approach to questions of postcolonialism, resistance, and South Asian governmentalities. This allows anticolonialism to be read not as an outside but as a coherent and bottom-up project of self-transformation and space-making that was elite coordinated but whose sovereignty lay with a disobedient and not always nonviolent public. This book provides an innovative and restive historical geography of spaces of anticolonialism in the capital of contemporary India's 1.4 billion people.

In this episode of Soul Elevation, I was honored to sit down with Raymon Grace, a powerful, down-to-earth teacher known for making dowsing and energy work feel practical, accessible, and empowering. Raymon shares the core principles behind his work, including the idea that all things are energy, that energy follows thought, and that the human mind can intentionally direct energy to create real-world change. This conversation is packed with stories, live demonstrations, and straight talk about personal sovereignty. We explore energy hygiene in everyday spaces like schools, workplaces, and homes, plus Raymon's perspective on clearing negative influences, transforming heavy environments into harmony, and reclaiming the freedom to live from your own inner authority. You'll also hear Raymon's approach to using a pendulum as a tool (not a source of power), how intention and confidence change outcomes, and why he believes the most important thing isn't what he can do, but what you can learn to do for yourself.   In this episode, we cover: Why Raymon believes freedom is the foundation of a sovereign life The core idea behind his work: energy is impressed upon matter and energy follows thought How he uses dowsing to evaluate and clear energy in schools, including what he checks first How intention can be used to shift the energetic quality of spaces, people, and environments Real-time demonstrations and stories that illustrate how results build confidence Why Raymon teaches energy tools to parents, and why he cares deeply about kids and schools Stories about transforming environments, including accounts involving water, land, and weather patterns Why he emphasizes self-empowerment over dependency, and how to start practicing simply How to connect with Raymon's work and resources   Resources and links: Raymon Grace websites: https://www.RaymonGrace.us and https://www.raymongracefoundation.org  Explore Kara's sanctuary of support at https://www.karagoodwin.com (book, free meditations, workshops, summits, and live experiences) Subscribe to my new Soul Meditation CLIPS channel for more inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulElevationClips?sub_confirmation=1    Support the show If this episode uplifted you, please like, subscribe, comment, and share.
