Have you been stuck for a while, longing for harmony in life, wondering why you just can't heal? Could it be that the issue is not you, and not even the healing methods that you use? Could it be that what is missing is the bigger picture?

We can't do it alone. We were never meant to. Nor were we meant to grow in a linear progression of unchecked expansion that destroys everything in its way.

Western history has shown that such expansion, is, perhaps, a little bit too destructive in the long term... If you think of it this way, it makes sense this is not a very good model for healing, either.

So what is the missing piece? In this conversation with Hollie Wildëthorn, we talk about just that. We discuss the power and gifts of the land, the ancestral spiral ways versus the linear ways, and so much more!

Hollie Wildëthorn, founder of the Institute for Self Crafting, is a psychotherapist, clinical counsellor and coach working in the intersections of trauma healing, neurodiversity, ecology and feminism. She has a background in natural and ancestral health, witchcraft and magick, altered states and sacred space, martial arts and natural movement, Women's Mysteries and conscious Wild Living.

For hundreds of years, the Western civilization has been divorced from its feminine oracular dimension, the symbolic mind. In this episode with author and researcher Betty Kovacs, we talk about altered states, the marriage of mysticism and science, and the current hunger for spiritual experience as the fifth Renaissance of the symbolic mind.

Courtney Thomas started on the path of spiritual development as a juvenile inmate, when the words of Jesus "you will do even greater works than I do" caught his eye. Now Courtney is a co-owner of a float spa and salt cave, and a teacher of transcendental meditation.

In this podcast, Courtney shares his story, and his understanding of how a spiritual journey is different from belonging to a religion. We talk about taking responsibility, bearing fruit, and the path to inner peace. We also discuss transcendental meditation — what it is, how it works, and where to find out more.

Exorcism and the demonic is a topic that can either be blown out of proportion, or dismissed completely. Some people see the demonic everywhere, including in the manifestations of our own ego and lack of self-restraint — and some will say belief in the demonic is just a remnant of the old days when we had no modern medicine, or a projection of the ego that refuses to meet the dark side.

And yet, once we have experienced these energies we cannot unsee them.

In this episode (the 13th interview of the season!), I meet an exorcist and a spiritual master of an Eastern animistic tradition. But the questions we discuss are common across all paths of life and spiritual beliefs.

Why do some people suffer from demonic oppression — and others don't? How to distinguish possession from mental illness? And how do we protect ourselves?

I invite you to broaden your understanding of the Akashic Records and think of an Akashic Experience. Beyond a fixed "book of records," let's delve into the world of the imaginal, the language of signs and symbols that is common not just to all humans, but also to plants, animals and even crystals. Let's open the definition of the Akashic Records to mean the Akashic Field. A never-ending field of the Divine mind, where we can receive healing, wisdom, and see the oneness of the Universe.

If you've never connected with me before, an Akashic Record reading is a good place to start (no altered states necessary ;) !)
