Podcasts about Unconsciousness

Back when I first began my spiritual path over a decade ago, I was living that yoga + raw vegan life. And like so many women, I believed that lifting weights would make me bulky.   I just wanted that lean, yoga-bodied look so I stayed with the light ankle weights, three-pound dumbbells, and lots of stretching.

Language of Synchronicities    If you've been seeing signs, noticing repeating numbers, or feeling like the universe is trying to tell you something, you're gonna love this episode.   Robert Grant is back on the Highest Self Podcast, and let me tell you—last time he was on, it became one of our most downloaded episodes ever with over 700,000 listens.   This time we're exploring the universe's hidden language—how numbers, patterns, and synchronicities are not just coincidences but conversations your soul (and Highest Self) are connected to.   We explore: How suffering + divinity = wholeness through the sacred math of Pi How authenticity is actually the path to spiritual awakening Why narcissism is part of the ascension journey (no, for real!) Whether you choose your numerology or astrology chart—or if it's already written I've just returned from Egypt, where I was facilitating on Robert's expedition and receiving more downloads and codes than ever before.   That journey is exactly what inspired my brand new offering:   Karma Clearing for the Mystic's Voice: Releasing the Past to Speak Your Sacred Truth   This isn't for the first-time mystic.   This is for the souls who have walked as oracle, priestess, healer, and seer before.   We'll meet live each week on Zoom for two hours of teaching, ritual, and sharing.   This offering is open to just 50 resonant souls, so I can hold space deeply, answer your questions, and prepare you for further training in the Venusian Mystical Arts, including the option to do Priestess Activations in Egypt with me.   If this offering calls your spirit, you can join the waitlist below:   Join the waitlist for Karma Clearing for the Mystic's Voice: https://sahararosecoursewaitlist.grwebsite.com/    Discover your intuition by taking this free quiz: https://quiz.highestselfinstitute.com/quiz-intuition/    Explore Highest Self Institute here: https://highestselfinstitute.com   If you are looking for a diverse + nourishing community of like-minded souls I'd love to invite you to join the waitlist of Rose Gold Goddesses at https://www.rosegoldgoddesses.com    Listen to my Album “My Body is an Altar” here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0kqB6oJVvarvddkwgrMsfZ?si=sTKzPLnfQv2hMEbgQyT59g   Love story track here:https://open.spotify.com/track/6FJIZ1rtMKA6BxYpehJrcn?si=Gikia9qgTOCN8w8olfs0kQ   If you are looking for a diverse + nourishing community of like-minded souls I'd love to invite you to join the waitlist of Rose Gold Goddesses at https://www.rosegoldgoddesses.com    Try Dipsea your first 30 day trial full access/free at https://dipseastories.com/SAHARA   Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

This is my last solo cast in my LA home studio. I'm sitting here surrounded by boxes, bags, and so many memories—taking time to reflect on my inner world. Because in this season of my life, I'm not running from anything. I'm simply listening to Spirit whisper: there's more, it's time. I've lived in LA on and off for the past seven years. My friends are here. My life is here. But now, it's time to enter a new chapter—a chapter of expansion, love, sacred sites, and mysteries.   Before I had this platform, this podcast, and all of you, I wasn't on a spiritual path. I didn't grow up thinking about spirituality or even seeking it. My only desire at the time was to bring my period back, heal my body, and stop being in pain. I had gone through perimenopause at 21. I couldn't digest food. My body was shutting down. That desire to heal became the gateway. And that path took me into the mind-body connection, and eventually into the spiritual journey.   And every one of those hardships became the exact fire I needed to walk through to become who I am today.   So we ask ourselves—can we spiritually grow without going through such hard lessons and heartbreak? Is there a way to move through life not with constant resistance, but with a sense of ease?   In this episode, I explore that question and everything that's come up for me during this big transition.    In this episode, I share: What it really means to grow before life forces you to Why silence can be louder than chaos—and how to use it to hear your truth The self-mothering practice that's helped me hold my inner child through uncertainty How to stop resisting discomfort and start learning from it What your current patterns and distractions are trying to show you The difference between growing through ease vs avoiding challenge How to prepare for what you want before it arrives   If these are the questions you've been asking, tune into this week's episode. Let's explore the answers—together.   Learn more about the Rose Dieta on my past Highest Self podcast ep here: https://youtu.be/omHIiGqn08Y?si=_BUmmzmTLyvr_56K   Explore Highest Self Institute here: https://highestselfinstitute.com   If you are looking for a diverse + nourishing community of like-minded souls I'd love to invite you to join the waitlist of Rose Gold Goddesses at https://www.rosegoldgoddesses.com    Listen to my Album “My Body is an Altar” here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0kqB6oJVvarvddkwgrMsfZ?si=sTKzPLnfQv2hMEbgQyT59g   Love story track here:https://open.spotify.com/track/6FJIZ1rtMKA6BxYpehJrcn?si=Gikia9qgTOCN8w8olfs0kQ   If you are looking for a diverse + nourishing community of like-minded souls I'd love to invite you to join the waitlist of Rose Gold Goddesses at https://www.rosegoldgoddesses.com    Try Dipsea your first 30 day trial full access/free at https://dipseastories.com/SAHARA   Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

We all have those moments when the Universe draws a perfect thread through our lives—and this episode is one of them. I take you back to a night in Bali where I met a goddess, artist, and muse who would unknowingly help me open my voice, express myself, and step into the “dream girl” energy I didn't even know I was craving. Her name is Bianca Leonor, aka Quin and— trust me when I say her music is pure medicine. We first crossed paths at a jam night when I was mid-divorce, mid-breakdown, and mid-rebirth. The next time we saw each other? On a plane. Yes, the Universe sat us side by side for a 16-hour flight. Blanket over her head and everything. And that's how I knew… she wasn't just a friend. She was a frequency. A mirror. A spiritual sister who would guide me deeper into my own becoming.   Since then, we've expanded together through ceremonies, creativity, and conversations that have shaped the women we are today. From womb immersions in Guatemala to goddess gatherings in LA, our journey has been one of deep remembrance. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to become your dream girl—by unlocking your voice, expressing your truth, and honoring the beauty of your feminine energy through creativity, healing, and soul work.   In this episode, we talk about:   How womb healing directly connects to your ability to speak, sing, and express Why your voice is a reflection of your rootedness, body awareness, and spiritual maturity The role of sacred plant medicines in unlocking hidden gifts and clearing emotional blockages How heartbreak, solitude, and self-devotion become portals to embodiment What it truly means to embody your “dream girl” frequency without needing a relationship to get there The sacred power of choosing discomfort—and why your biggest fear may hold your highest gift A personal story of synchronicity, soul recognition, and goddess-level friendship How the womb multiplies energy—and what that means for your sexual and spiritual sovereignty   If you've been craving a deeper connection to yourself—your body, your expression, your essence—this conversation will open something inside you. Whether you're navigating grief, rebirth, or your next level of self-expression, this episode is a reminder that your path is sacred. To open your voice is to come home to your truth. And becoming your dream girl? That begins the moment you stop waiting—and start expressing.

So many of you have been asking about the Rose Path and the Rose Dieta…   And this week's Highest Self Podcast is just for you.   I'm diving deep into the feminine spiritual path of the rose—the one that doesn't ask you to renounce life, but to honor it. That reminds us that beauty is sacred, devotion is divine, and softness is strength.   The rose has been one of my greatest teachers.   She's guided me through my own feminine awakening—from belly dance to breathwork, DJing to ritual, and creating my sacred feminine community, Rose Gold Goddesses.   The name Sahara Rose came to me in a breathwork journey in Bali, where I saw a past—or parallel—life of myself dancing barefoot through a desert, bringing beauty to a barren land.   It was then I knew: I was here to be the rose. To bloom where there was once nothing.   That moment sparked a deep remembrance that led me to Guatemala for a 10-day Rose Dieta—10 days of silence, stillness, rose tea, and listening.   In this episode, you'll explore: What the Rose Path truly is—and how it may already be calling you The Rose Dieta and how it opens a portal to sacred listening The rose as teacher, mirror, and frequency of the divine feminine The beauty of ritual, art, stillness, and embodiment as spiritual practice Why every season of the rose (and your life) holds medicine The sacred codes of the Rose Priestess lineage—and how they live in you The energetic school of the rose—cord cutting, rose baths, and rituals to protect your inner world My guest, Rachel Rositto, is a true mystic, artist, and embodiment of the Rose Path.   She is a sitar player, ritualist, and feminine wisdom guide who lives her life in devotion to the beauty way.   If you're curious about the rose, this is a beautiful introduction.   I pick Rachel's brain on her personal journey with the rose, her practices, the energetics of devotional living, and so much more.   Connect with Rachel here: https://www.instagram.com/rachelrossitto?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==   Rachel's website: https://www.rachelrossitto.com/   Listen to my Album “My Body is an Altar” here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0kqB6oJVvarvddkwgrMsfZ?si=sTKzPLnfQv2hMEbgQyT59g   If you are looking for a diverse + nourishing community of like-minded souls I'd love to invite you to join the waitlist of Rose Gold Goddesses at https://www.rosegoldgoddesses.com    Try Dipsea your first 30 day trial full access/free at https://dipseastories.com/SAHARA   Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

Have you been asking yourself lately:   What the actual f* is going on in relationships right now?!   Because SAME.   So I brought back my soul bro, spiritual philosopher, and YouTube king himself—Aaron Doughty—to channel the masculine, while I spoke on behalf of you: The divine feminine, goddess-coded, shadow-integrating, boss babe who just wants a relationship that actually feels good.   And let me tell you… we WENT IN.   We talk about: The three levels of consciousness in dating + relationships (yes, David Deida style) The unconscious roles of victim, perpetrator, and rescuer—and how we're all playing them Why you might be confusing love with a full-time healing project What to do if your partner isn't growing with you How to stop being your partner's coach and start being their equal And why some relationships are meant for love, joy, and family—not shadow work 24/7 We also get super real about the fantasy so many spiritual women are holding onto:   That someday, someone will come along who's fully healed, fully conscious, and doesn't trigger any part of your trauma…   Yeah. About that..   This episode is your permission slip to stop fixing, stop overanalyzing, and stop trying to spiritually engineer your soulmate into existence.   Because the tea is: maybe the healing is in letting go of the need to “do the work” for your partner—and finally trusting yourself to choose peace, clarity, and connection.   This one's for the girlies who are tired of dating emotional projects, want actual polarity, and are ready to understand wtf is really going on between men and women right now—from a high-vibe, grounded, actually-helpful perspective.   Become a Certified Dharma Coach  here: https://highestselfinstitute.com/spring-2025   Connect with Aaron here: https://www.instagram.com/aarondoughty44/?hl=en   Discover Aaron's youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC48MclMZIY_EaOQwatzCpvw   Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now  - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

Inside this week's episode of the Highest Self Podcast, I'm sharing Day One of the Dharma Summit—and it's my most personal, raw, and real share yet.   For the first time, I'm the one in the hot seat.   Interviewed by my friend and gifted healer Sean McFarland, connected through Rev. Michael Beckwith, I opened up about the journey that led me here…   This was originally intended for the first day of my free 5-day Dharma Summit… but I had to share it with you on the Highest Self Podcast.   Sean and I get into: ✨ How Ayurveda became the spark that brought me back to life ✨ The moment I discovered my dosha—and how it helped me finally understand my body, energy, and path ✨ Why rejection was my redirection  ✨ How I discovered the 5 elements of the Dharma Blueprint ✨ The exact method I use to guide others to their soul's purpose ✨ And how you can begin applying the Dharma Discovery Method today   When you finally choose to tune into your truth—when you align with what actually lights you up—that's when things begin to shift.   You start meeting the right people at the right time. The words you need show up in a conversation, a book, or a podcast. You feel like the universe is speaking directly to you.   And maybe this is one of those moments.   If your soul has been whispering that you're meant for something more…   If you've been craving clarity, alignment, and a deeper understanding of who you really are…   This episode will meet you exactly where you are.   Join the list for the upcoming Dharma Summit: https://highestselfinstitute.com/spring-2025-summit-lp   My Ayurveda Books: https://iamsahararose.com/books   Begin Your Yogic Path with A Yogic Path Deck: https://iamsahararose.com/blog/begin-yogic-path-yogic-path-deck-sahara-rose/   Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Watch Trust Flow the music video here: https://youtu.be/GKrYJye7B8k?si=a08vO5CEV-TXE5NT   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

I've been on the yogic path since I was about 12 years old, when I first saw a sign in my town outside of Boston that simply read: YOGA. Something deep within me lit up. I turned to my mom and said, “You need to take me there.”

Let's talk about something most of us have felt, but rarely say out loud…   Are we giving wife energy before there's any real commitment?   I'm back with my soul sister Nadine Lee for part two of our raw and honest convo—and this time, we're getting into it on all things marriage, moving in together, wifey mode, and what real commitment actually looks like.   You can be living like a wife before he's ever claimed you. And then wonder why the relationship feels stuck, uninspired, or full of pressure.   Here's what we get into in this juicy part 2: → What “wifey mode” really is—and how to know if you've unconsciously fallen into it → The subtle way living together too soon kills polarity and motivation → How to maintain your own space (and energy!) while still being deeply connected → Why moving in isn't the same as being claimed → What to look for beyond the ring to know if he's really showing up → How to honor your timeline  → The truth about divorce, and why we need to ask ourselves—could I lovingly separate from this person if it came to that?   This conversation is honest, nuanced, and full of those little lightbulb moments that make you go—ohhh, THAT'S what I've been feeling.   Connect with Nadine Lee Here: https://www.instagram.com/nadineleeofficial?igsh=ajJlNjVzMHFnbXdk   Watch the past episode with Nadine Lee below: Tantric Wisdom for Women: https://youtu.be/WHR-hokJl7Q?si=z0o9Sdt-AGunkaFd   Join the list for the upcoming Dharma Summit: https://highestselfinstitute.com/spring-2025-summit-lp   Receive 10% off your first month of therapy with our sponsor Betterhelp at https://www.betterhelp.com/sahara    Try Dipsea your first 30 day trial full access/free at https://dipseastories.com/SAHARA   Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

A lot of us learn our biggest spiritual lessons through love—through relationships, through heartbreak, through fantasies… and through the moment when it all crumbles down.   We've been raised on fairytales. We walk into a room, scan the crowd, and wonder—is he here? We meet someone new and instantly ask, “is he the one?” Because we've been told that if we just find the right person, everything will magically fall into place.   But what if love doesn't happen on our timeline?   That's why today, I'm joined by my longtime friend Nadine Lee to explore the feminine spiritual path through love, heartbreak, and the transformation that follows.   We met a decade ago in Bali, both in our early 20s, both navigating deep heartbreaks, lessons, and rebirths. And as we tuned into the feminine, we realized something powerful:   In this episode, we dive into: ✨ Transforming from Princess to Queen by learning to trust yourself instead of waiting to be chosen. ✨ Releasing the fantasy of Prince Charming and seeing love as a reflection of your own self-worth. ✨ Creating safety within so relationships feel expansive rather than something to escape into. ✨ Identifying karmic cycles in love and shifting patterns that no longer serve you. ✨ Understanding Kali Ma's power as the force that destroys illusions so something real can be built. ✨ Embodying Queen energy in relationships by making choices rooted in self-respect and truth.   The feminine is swept up in love. It is consumed by love, intoxicated by it, moved by the way it weaves through every moment.   And yet, so many of us have learned to mistake longing for love itself. To believe that waiting is devotion. That attachment is connection.    But real love isn't something to chase—it's something to become.   And that's the real journey—from Princess, to Queen, to Priestess.   Connect with Nadine Lee Here:https://www.instagram.com/nadineleeofficial?igsh=ajJlNjVzMHFnbXdk   Watch the past episode with Nadine Lee below:   Tantric Wisdom for Women: https://youtu.be/WHR-hokJl7Q?si=z0o9Sdt-AGunkaFd   Join DCI's waitlist: https://highestselfinstitute.com/spring-2025-join-waitlist   Join the list for the upcoming Dharma Summit:  https://highestselfinstitute.com/spring-2025-summit-lp   Head to https://www.factormeals.com/sahara50 to get 50% off your order!    Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

After my marriage ended, I was grasping for something to hold onto. My friends were like, “Come to Bali, it's the perfect place to heal!” Waterfalls, ecstatic dance, sunshine—yes, please. So I packed my bags and flew across the world, thinking I'd be wrapped in adventure and good vibes.   But Spirit had other plans.   The very next day, my friends had to leave the country unexpectedly. And just like that, I was alone. In Bali.

This week's episode is truly special—a sacred conversation with Chief Rasu, the youngest spiritual leader of the Yawanawa tribe from the heart of the Amazon.    If you've ever been curious about sitting with plant medicine or are already on that path, this episode offers a rare opportunity to receive wisdom directly from its source.    Most of us don't have access to Indigenous voices, and with the Amazon in danger due to deforestation, displacement of native communities, and the long-lasting effects of colonialism, it's incredibly rare—and sacred—to hear from those who have stayed true to this ancient wisdom.  

Since birth, we've been conditioned to believe our power lies in being chosen—by a partner, by a job, by society's validation. We're taught that our highest aspiration is to be saved, waiting for the perfect moment, the right person, the next big opportunity. And without even realizing it, we internalize this as our truth. This is Princess Energy—the energy of passivity, of seeking outside approval, of shrinking instead of rising.

You know those relationships that feel destined? The ones that start hot and heavy, full of synchronicities and deep emotions—only to shake you to your core? Yep, we're talking about those.  

SEASON 3 EPISODE 91: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Karoline Leavitt was already so stupid that she once on-air insisted there was a word pronounced "damaning" (as in 'the evidence is damaning') and pronounced the Nazi monster's name as "Hilter." Now with one tweet she may have topped herself. How do you publicly announce that the spending freeze struck down by a federal judge wasn't withdrawn, only its ANNOUNCEMENT was withdrawn, and only in response to the judge's ruling, and the freeze is going on as planned? That's called contempt of court. Trump's lawyers will literally have to talk their way out of spending a day behind bars. Besides which, another judge has said the conflicting statements about the freeze pause are irrelevant: it cannot proceed. This all underscores what has been evident since Trump again seized power. He is burning through the relative approval and patience of an exhausted America far more quickly this time than last, and there is a reckoning coming. His disapproval number jumped SEVEN points from last Tuesday to this past Sunday. The judges are fighting back. His hirelings are idiots. The public doesn't want this. Hopefully what follows is not unprecedented. B-Block (28:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Washington Post continues to trivialize and normalize the Madness of King Trump. Lauren Boebert is an actual expert on laboring with your hands, so I guess her opinion on how the minimum wage is too HIGH matters. And it's Anna Paulina Luna who finally gives in and proposes a bill to put Trump's head on Mt. Rushmore. Unfortunately she's phrased it in such a way that it could mean LITERALLY: put Trump's head ON Mt. Rushmore. C-Block (36:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Nothing like the stream of consciousness that comes as you awake from the stream of UNconsciousness. On the way back from the endoscopy I saw the building in which I met Jim Thorpe's Olympic roommate from 1912, and I rediscovered the game "Midpoint" and I remembered the Twitter game from two years ago: "Hitler Handshakes."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm feeling all the energy of the new year, and I hope you are too. This week on the Highest Self Podcast, I sat down with Mimi Bouchard, the creator of the Activations app, to talk all about shifting our self-perception, stepping into our future selves, and reconnecting with the parts of us we've forgotten.   Mimi's story is incredible. She went from feeling stuck to completely shifting her identity, creating a platform that helps others activate their highest selves through guided practices. We dove into what it means to align with who you really are and how to stop waiting for permission to start creating the life you've been dreaming of.   Here's a sneak peek at what we covered: ✨ How to create tools that activate YOU first (and why that's where the magic begins). ✨ Why shifting your self-perception is the key to living your ultimate life.   ✨ The power of childlike curiosity and creativity in transforming your reality.   ✨ Mimi's journey of turning her own practices into the Activations app, which now helps thousands of people.   This episode is such a vibe—it's all about reconnecting with your soul's purpose and making moves toward the life you're ready to step into.

In Part 2, we continue exploring these astrological shifts and their deeper implications on love, self, and the universe.

In this solocast, I'm sharing how your desires are SACRED and how divine timing shapes every aspect of life. Every desire you feel is intentional and exists because your soul already knows it is meant to happen. It's not just about getting what you want but about who you become in the process of pursuing it.

Have you ever wondered, Is this my intuition—or just a random thought?

☕️Here's the tea: If you're waiting for someone to meet all your needs all the time, you're setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment. I know, it stings a little, but stay with me.  

One of the most life-changing shifts I made on this journey?

Not just your typical boundaries, but the deeper, spiritual side that I discovered during my two-week rose dieta in silence.   What I learned changed everything: there's a massive difference between walls that block everything out and boundaries that have doors to let the right things in.

Eckhart Tolle and Tony Robbins discuss the importance of being AND doing — the two essential polarities in spiritual life on your path to find deeper meaning and purpose. Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today.  Eckhart Tolle's TWO international bestsellers —The Power of Now and A New Earth —have been translated into 52 languages. Tolle has introduced millions of humans around the globe to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times describes him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States,” and Watkins Review named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.” Tolle's profound yet simple teachings and benevolent essence (not to mention sweater vests) volunteer friendly encouragement to a state of inner peace in daily life. With teachings that focus on form identity vs. essence identity, the power of our present moment awareness, deep sensory perception, a pursuit of expanding consciousness, and the transcendence of the human stream of constant subconscious thoughts, Eckhart Tolle calls to all those who long to wake up. This transcendence of mind and vibrant mental health could be the essential next step in all human evolution. We invite you to sit in the theatre of TONY AND SAGE ROBBINS | HAPPINESS CONFERENCE presented to their Platinum Partners in Sedona, Arizona.  NOTE: This historic conversation took place through Zoom video and the enlightening lens of the year 2020. Immerse yourself in this profound knowledge and learn how to navigate life's challenges and experience all that present moment mindfulness offers us. What would happen if you settled into a clarity of mind without problems or anxious thoughts? Listen in and life may never be the same again.

Following from all the love and positive comments you all left from last week's episode, I'm keeping the party going this week with part two of my Ayahuasca, and it's all about love and the lessons I've learned   One thing Grandmother Ayahuasca challenged me to do? Go makeup-free. I'm talking no makeup, no mascara, not even a little blush!   She showed me that to have real relationships with ourselves and others, we've got to show up as our most authentic selves. So, she dared me to record an episode with zero makeup. And guess what? Here it is!
