Our Spiritual Life

This episode features a conversation with Tiffany Chan that is engaging and, I believe, signals acceleration in the evolution of consciousness. She is a spiritual advisor to organizational leaders, and prior to doing this work she was with the World Economic Forum serving as an advisor to businesses internationally. As you might guess, she has an amazing story to tell about what led her to make the big switch from a successful business career to what she is doing now. And Tiffany says that businesses are indeed becoming more conscious because more organizational leaders are choosing to become more conscious. She sees it firsthand because she is being sought out to help them through the process. She believes that people everywhere, including leaders, are feeling a need to be more in touch with their inner selves and in engaging more consciously in relationships with the world. The big worldwide acceptance of mindfulness practices has been a big factor in this. She says: "The future of leadership is energy", and she is referring to the fact that everything is energy and that learning to effectively manage the energy within ourselves and in interaction with others is critical. Don't miss this episode... it is interesting and offers useful tips to all listeners. You can learn more about Tiffany at www.TiffanyMChan.com, and she is also part of an "energetics" partnership - see www.EnergeticEssentials.co.

My guest in this episode is Brian Berneman who, along with partner Kayla Greenville, founded Conscious Action in 2017 in New Zealand. He is an expert on wellbeing and conscious living, and he and Kayla offer diverse courses, events, and coaching. We had a wide-ranging discussion about well-being, expanding our awareness, and living more consciously for ourselves, humanity as a whole, and the planet. Brian defined conscious living as awareness plus action and noted that our action needs to be based on informed response rather than reaction (from emotion or habit). So learning to be present is key. He said that we need to understand that everything is interconnected, so we need a holistic view - both as individuals consisting of body, mind & spirit and for the benefit of the world (all beings and ecological systems). Brian also talked about our need to "unlearn" all the programming or conditioning that keeps us from being fully conscious. To do that he recommended two simple steps: 1) create space through stillness (of body and mind), and 2) question your thoughts and experience - such as by asking "Where did that thought/feeling come from? Is it valid? Or is judgment limiting our perspective?" As we were wrapping up, he reminded people to remember that "We are unique and powerful and fully capable of change." Their podcast is Conscious Action Podcast, and their website is at ConsciousAction.co.nz.

This was a fun episode with Michael McGinnis, author of the The Essential Revolution and The Invitation, two novels that are about the great spiritual awakening that is underway and greatly needed in the world today. Michael is sometimes called the Jungle Writer because he has been a long-time resident of Costa Rica, and he told us about his own personal struggles in life that eventually led him to self-realization and to his being called to write/channel the spiritual novels. Dimitri is the main character in both books, and Michael shared with me Dimitri's 7 truths, of which I'll share here the first two: "Somehow, someway, each one of us has chosen our own unique, unchosen, chosen experience, therefore all things that happen to us actually happen for us." and "All human beings want the same thing: to live in joy and experience love, peace, and happiness." For those of us seeking a full awakening, both of these truths are important because every person is on their own unique path and learning is key. Michael also said a couple of profound things that I will quote here (even though you don't have the context from the conversation): "Perception is everything" and "We are the creators of our lives". Like a good meal, this episode has a lot of good conversational food to digest, and of course we discussed much more that I don't have room to mention.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a conversation with a lovely lady with a lovely English accent. Her name is Catherine Llewellyn and she is very conversant in the subject of consciousness. What she does is help people upgrade their lives by exploring and expanding their consciousness. Now, we need to understand that "consciousness" is referring to the pure awareness that is our essence rather than our thoughts. But elevation of consciousness is at the core of what she talks about and what she does. She helps people tune in to aspects of themselves that they might want to change by becoming more self aware. People so seldom stop and take time to reflect and become more aware of what's going on inside themselves. She uses mentoring in a very holistic approach that includes techniques such as: assessment, meditation, reflection on what is happening in your life, following your intuition, visioning, inquiry, energy techniques, conscious movement, synergy, and integration. One of most amazing things she talked about is a technique called Pellowah that helps people achieve "radical shifts in consciousness" by putting them directly in touch with their Source. She offers Pellowah workshops that help people shift their consciousness in amazing ways and with wonderful results. You can learn more about Catherine at her website, BeingSpace.world, and she has a podcast called "Truth and Transcendence".

In this episode, my guest Sheila Marie talks with me about the power of the unseen from the perspective of a forensic medium. Our conversation was interesting and lively as we talked about some of her experiences as a forensic medium, working with the police and FBI to solve cases, such as finding Babe Ruth's long-lost piano. And we talked about intuition and psychic abilities generally. She also works with individuals to help them develop their intuition and become more connected to spirit, and her new book, Forensic Medium: The Power of the Unseen, focuses on just that. She explained that psychics use their inner senses to connect the divine in potentially many different ways. But a medium uses psychic abilities to communicate with spirits or the Universe in a 2-way, back-and-forth process. She sees herself as the conduit for that communication. Sheila talked about how she uses her "inner light system" to sense unseen energies that give her information and insights, and in her book she teaches exercises the help people connect to their own inner light systems. She said that trust is important, saying "Trust the Universe 300% that it is there for you." And about spiritual connection, she said "Everything is divinely inspired." You can learn more about her at SheilaMarieMedium.com, and you can find her book there as well.

Maribeth Decker is an intuitive animal communicator, medical intuitive, and energy healer, and is the founder of SacredGrove.com, where "people and pets heal and connect". Is this episode, she and I had an interesting conversation how she works with pet owners (guardians) who love their animals but face tough issues. She uses her intuitive animal communication and energetic healing skills to address pets' physical, emotional, and behavior issues. Basically, she helps pets enjoy their lives more and helps people enjoy their pets more by developing stronger connections to them and effective communication with them. If you don't have a pet, you may not know that they have souls, but they most certainly do! She even walked me through a heart connection exercise that can include the animals (and people) in your life. Very interesting stuff for all you pet lovers out there! My wife and I have had pets throughout our marriage and know how to interact with our pets pretty effectively, but I learned some great new tips from Maribeth. She also helps pet owners deal with end-of-life issues, finding peace and comfort, knowing they have made the right decision for everyone including their animals. And she's written a book on that subject called Peace in Passing: Comfort for Loving Humans During Animal Transitions. You can learn more about Maribeth and what she does at SacredGrove.com.

In this interesting and uplifting conversation, I talk with angel communicator, spiritual teacher, and energy healer Seph Dietlin about angels, ascension, unity, love, and more. Upon being introduced, he said that everything he does is about "expanding love and light in the world". He had an awakening of sorts more than 20 years ago when he reached a crisis point in his life, asked "the angels" for help, and was amazed when he heard and felt the angels respond to his request. From that point on, angels began to teach him and guide him about what is happening and why as the world has entered a time of accelerating change and evolution. Seph soon realized that he was meant to be a channel for the angels' messages and to teach people how to access higher levels of consciousness since that is the key to the transition that is happening for the human species and the world as a whole. He talked about the "Matrix" which is the world of illusion based on belief in separation, fear, logic, and linear thinking. And he then explained that we can fairly quickly awaken to higher levels of awareness, which our souls are guiding us toward, enabling us to fully see through the illusion of separation and to know that we are one with the Source. When we make that shift, we gain access to the non-linear, exponential, miraculous nature of the Divine. As a certified hypnotherapist, Seph uses hypnotherapy as one of the tools to facilitate people in accessing the higher consciousness and and associated healing. He reminded the listeners to "Expand the light and love in you" and to know that love is the most powerful way of being we have. You can learn more about him at his website: TalkToMyAngels.com.

Very early in his career, Dr. Don St John realized that the "box" of traditional tools and concepts from psychology and psychiatry was not enough for his own personal healing. In this episode, he tells us how he overcame the wounds and traumas from his own childhood to find ways of living a good and happy life beyond all of the "pathologies" from his early life. He pointed out that "We were all wounded in our childhood. There are no perfect parents." That process of wounding and healing is what he talks about in his book Healing the Wounds of Childhood and Culture: An Adventure of a Lifetime. All of his decades of exploration into healing led him to construct a view of healing and human potential consisting of four essential components - Somatic, Psycho-Emotional, Relational, and Spiritual - and we talked about those in some depth in this conversation. He said that he had a big realization at one point that "everyone has issues" and that his own pathologies were not the end of his life, and it was then that his life "became an adventure to become whole". He talked about the importance of finding your "true self" in relationships. Those are the kinds of powerful insight that we all want to have for our own lives, and this episode can give you helpful insights. Don also pointed out that "Our wounds motivate us to seek spiritual answers." He encouraged everyone to enjoy life's adventures and to know them as part of a journey towards your own wholeness.

In this episode, I talk with my guest Michael Spremulli, astrologer and workplace personality expert, about how astrology can be used and a little bit about why it works. I had not previously been interested in astrology, but several people that I respect convinced me that it really works. So in this conversation, Michael explains that Vibrationally Astrology, which he uses, is more based on energy and data (statistical evidence) than other types of astrology, and that it helps give a reliable forecast about your talents and predilections and is not anything like prophecy or reading a crystal ball. It is based on the fact that everything in the universe is energy and everything is more interrelated and interacting than we realize. Solar, lunar, and planetary energy relationships at the time of one's birth (natal) have been clearly demonstrated statistically to have strong influences on a person's life. Michael focuses on the major astrological aspects that can affect a person's life by looking at those factors relative to one's life path, and especially when looking at one's career and when considering career changes. In contrast to many astrologers who treat daily horoscopes as if they are real predictors - they're not - he only looks at daily forecasts in a very limited and focused way. He advised that, if you consider having a natal astrological reading done, do your homework and check the astrologer out to make sure they're a good fit with you.

This episode was a fun and informative discussion with Laura Hartley, an activist, coach, speaker, and educator about how we can create real change in the world. She talks about "Self work for world work", meaning that in order to change the world we must begin with our own inner work. We must learn to look at our own relationships with the world with much greater self-awareness and world awareness - paying attention to what serves us and what doesn't serve us and why. She believes that, rather than throwing up our hands in despair, we must begin by "loving the world, and not fixing it". We need "love as public good", and I agree with that totally. Casting blame on someone else or something else is not constructive, and that's a big problem with modern politics. I believe that raising our own consciousness is the biggest and best thing we can do, and raising our consciousness to the energy of love is a good way to start. To create and share love as public good is why Laura created Public Love Enterprises through which she tries to "seed" love into public places and discussions as well as promoting collective visioning. Her online courses help individuals and organizations gain greater awareness of the need to do both the inner work and outer work in creating positive change in the world. She suggested we think like this: Do your personal/spiritual practice, and then extend it outwards. Ask "What conditions that I create in myself can be extended outward to my community so it can thrive?" You can learn more about Laura Hartley at LauraHartley.com.

Pay attention to this episode! What guest Suzanna Kennedy has to share with us is important and valuable! In 1997, she had an unusual and powerful kundalini awakening such that, as she summarized it, "everything in herself and her life changed." She was told by an inner voice that she was to create a process for helping others awaken more quickly and easily based on what she now intuitively understood. And that is what she has done and, as she explained it in this conversation, the resulting process makes so much sense. She has structured the process into layers, or a natural sequence that she calls Consciousness Upgrade Programs. They begin with an "emotional mental detox" that focuses on 6 core issues - male imbalance, female imbalance, fear/inner child, pain/grief, judgment, and lack/limitation - with the goal of clearing "who you are not", in other words clearing all the mental and emotional programming (including trauma etc.) that a person has accumulated in life. Once, that is complete, a person can go on with transformations that include a love & relationship upgrade, a divine human upgrade, and reality crafting your paradise on earth. She said that the transformations, if done actively with intent, result in permanent changes at the cellular/DNA level. We talked about so much more, but near the end of the conversation, Suzanna said to everyone, "You are LOVE in a body". And I love that because, once you understand that love is divine creative power, you can begin to realize the infinite potential awaiting us. (Since our conversation, I have checked out her offerings, am testing some of them myself, and so far, am very impressed - especially by her guided exercises that hold the promise of rapid and lasting results. So I recommend that you check all of her Consciousness Upgrade Programs out yourself.) You can learn more about her and what she offers at SuzannaKennedy.com.

I'm a folk singer/songwriter as well as a podcast host, and I begin this episode by singing my new song called Love is Our Way (also the title of a previous episode). I hope you enjoy it. But in the rest of the episode I had a great conversation with my guest Karen Cleveland. She is a spiritual coach who helps people with their connections to everything - the Universe/God, themselves, other people, animals, and the world as a whole. She is also a minister at a Center for Spiritual Living near Seattle. She described how developing a daily spiritual practice changed her life. So Karen and I had an interesting conversation about connectedness, oneness, science of mind, awareness, the law of attraction, communication with animals, and much more. One thing that we absolutely agreed on is that Oneness is central to spiritual awakening, living consciously, and being happy and in tune with life. One of her key beliefs (and mine also) is that we are not meant to struggle. And if we are struggling or if we are stuck, we can get unstuck. Changing our thinking is part of that, but equally important is to "pay attention to our soul / heart / feelings" and respond to that inner guidance. Science of mind, which is key to New Thought and to the teachings of Centers for Spiritual Living, focuses on having a more structured way of thinking about what we want to create in our lives and using visualization and affirmative prayer. As we were wrapping up our conversation, Karen told us that, whatever is going on in our lives, "There is always hope", and also "The better we can do (in spiritual practice and living consciously), the more we can help others." Very important guidance in these challenging times. She has a podcast called The Connectedness Podcast, and you can learn more about her on her website RevKarenCleveland.com.

This conversation about transformation, rites of passage, and feminine leadership will be delightfully eye-opening for women - and for empathic men as well - thanks to the insights and knowledge shared by my guest Paula Conroy. Paula is a transformational leader who supports women in transitioning in their life stages in healthier ways in a modern world that is often lacking in that kind of support. She spent many years working her way up in corporate banking in Australia and eventually came to realize just how little the corporate world supports women (and really men as well) in dealing with life in an evolving, holistic, and truly healthy way. Corporate ladders, as many people have observed, tend to be pretty rigid, narrow-minded, and unhealthy... that is my own comment, not hers - but I'm sure she would fully agree. So she set about changing that in her own life, and since October 2020 (in the midst of the global Covid experience) she has been actively supporting women as a leader and coach. She is also a strategy consultant for the Rites of Passage Institute founded by Dr. Arne Rubenstein. We talked about the process of transformation, and especially the Rites of Passage process which she promotes and supports. We talked about "frequency circles" through which she leads groups of women through rites of passage in a safe space and in a nurturing and wise way. And we talked about feminine leadership in a world that so needs greater balance between feminine and masculine principles and greater wholeness in so many other ways. In the future, she will be offering programs (perhaps circles?) for men who want to develop greater "feminine consciousness", and I think that would certainly support healthier and happier marriages.

In this episode, I talk about the fact that humanity is slowly awakening and moving toward a new way of being in the world. And I do this in terms of 12 key spiritual lessons I have learned over the last few years. These are lessons that I would hope all human beings are learning at the same time. Here is a summary list, and in the audio I talk about each of these in the time that I have to cover all 12. I give some of these more time and attention than others. All of these lessons can be applied, individually and collectively, to achieving a new way of being in the world. In so doing, we have unlimited potential, and truly can realize "heaven on Earth" if we collectively choose that.

My guest today is CK (Kelly) Collins, the author of the book The Swipe Right Effect: The Power to Get Unstuck. In this episode, I talk with Kelly about her book and her powerful story, and she shares a lot of great insights and advice. Basically, she had to deal with a difficult divorce and a lot of life changes that resulted. Her book title refers to using a dating app and to choosing yourself and loving yourself first before you get into dating and love relationships with others. Her book has ten chapters in which she captured the stories of ten different friends who helped her by providing guidance and advice. Each chapter has an empowerment practice that can make a big difference. The book is all about self-improvement and how she and her friends all had to deal (at some point in) with getting unstuck from serious life difficulties. In dealing with big life changes and getting unstuck, Kelly took the unusual path of walking the 500 miles of the Camino de Santiago over 38 days and found it to be an incredible, life changing personal/spiritual experience. Near the close of the conversation, Kelly said "It's all about making choices. Your choice to put yourself first is so powerful... It can change your life forever." Choices are about quitting some old things as well as starting/doing new things. Visit her website CKCollins.co to learn more about her and the book.

Daniel Mirfield is an intuitive healer and author living in New Zealand, and in this episode we had a conversation about people finding inner peace and much more. He talked about overcoming difficult times is his own life to get himself back to the true inner peace he had as a boy in rural England where he had a close relationship to nature. He also described how he channeled his book, titled Seedling: The Journey to Inner Peace, as part of his own healing process. This was a very interesting conversation for me because Daniel told us how, as an intuitive child he "saw" or felt the energies behind peoples' words, and over time he learned that "everything happening in life is a transfer of energy". For most of my life I was not naturally intuitive and I did not have that strong sense of energies in myself and the world, but I have since learned how valuable and helpful that is in our approach to life. Daniel pointed out that there is a powerful energetic shift happening on the planet now, and that the next 2 decades will be critical. He said the world needs all people to shift more to the divine feminine principles of love and nurturing relationships to people and the planet. Near the end of the conversation, he gave us tips about organizing our life in terms of "spaces" for work, home, eating, sleeping, etc., to give us some structure to support our nervous systems and mental health. And he taught us the importance of being in the present moment and other guiding principles for life. You can learn more about him at www.ASagesJourney.com.

Pay attention to this episode... It was a breakthrough for me and can be for you too. My guest is Swami Nityananda, an American-born spiritual teacher, who earned her Swami title through many years of studying yogic tradition and demonstrating enlightened wisdom. The message in this episode for all of us is that there is an easier way to awaken and experience a life of joy. And that way begins by accepting that we are already part of a universal consciousness - think of it as divine light - that knows us completely and cares about us deeply. It is a living wholeness that includes all sentient beings, and in fact all of existence. Swami defined awakeness as being in contact with the energy of divine awareness. We can choose to expand our light/spiritual self at any time to allow awareness of that living wholeness. When we do, we shift from the illusion of separation to instead directly experience the divine light, its wholeness, its unlimited goodness, and its joyful beingness. At any time, you can accept the world and its problems as they are AND realize that our spirit is greater than any of the world's problems. You can give yourself permission to see yourself as a child (or being) of light, and you can choose to experience human life in a more enlightened and holistic way. She also talked about the shared unity experience of meditating in community. At the end of our conversation, she told us to "Trust in the Light." Swami Nityananda has a new book out that I highly recommend called Awake: The Yoga of Pure Awareness. The book teaches beautiful insights about living in a state of awakeness.

This episode is an engaging and insightful conversation with Kate Heartsong, a confidence coach and author of two important books: Deeply We Are One and Humanity's Cry for Change. Her books provide valuable insights and ways that you can make a difference in the world today. She spoke about having to overcome the traumas of a difficult childhood, and how that led her to transformations based in spirituality. In coaching people on confidence, she says that she always seeks to empower people to know their own greatness. And one of the simple tools she uses is to have the client write down 3-5 things they can acknowledge about themselves and the good things they have in their lives, and then continue to notice at least 1-2 other things or new things each day. We talked about oneness as it relates to both of her books and the importance of everyone's interconnections to others. We also discussed how critical it is for people to raise their consciousness because that helps raise the collective consciousness, which is the only way the world can heal it's very big problems. At the end, Kate urged listeners to "Recognize the brilliance or goodness of who you are." You can learn more about her at JoyfulRadiance.com.

This episode is a fascinating conversation with Blair Abee who has studied meditation and spiritual practices for 45 years, and over the last 10 years he has authored 6 books about meditation, mindfulness, and manifesting. He tells us about how he shifts into a mode of "soul contact" in his writing by which he connects with his higher consciousness (soul). He described it as feeling very illuminated and which I would say is very much an awakened flow state. And he practices living from that state most of the time, which he calls HiC (his affectionate nickname for his higher consciousness or soul). Very much in line with all spiritual teachers today, he spoke of the importance of realizing that we are eternal beings, spiritual beings having a human experience, and we can get more fully in touch with that by practicing meditation and awareness in ways that are designed to help us do that. Such as... what he calls Sacred Senses mindfulness practices that shift our senses to a higher, more spiritual way of being aware of what we are experiencing. He commented that the (human) species is at risk if we don't raise our consciousness, which I agree with. In his HiC meditations, which he does in the morning and at night, he becomes aware of being totally one with the All. And he gave us a tool for manifesting the "best possible outcomes" in direct conversation/prayer with our higher consciousness/soul. You will enjoy this episode!

This episode is about life purpose and divine energies, and my guest, Bill Heinrich, is an expert on those things, having spent many years of his life studying them in depth. Bill is a life purpose coach and executive business coach, but he teaches people not about business but about becoming happy and fulfilled by knowing their true purpose and how to live in alignment with that purpose. He is also the author of the book The Seven Levels of Truth: A Direct Path to Your Life Purpose. He talks a lot about being very aware of the difference between the two major dimensions of who we are: the physical and the non-physical. In his research, he discovered that we struggle in life because we focus primarily on the physical. But we are actually spiritual beings who have bodies and human experiences. So, our spiritual/non-physical aspects, especially our divine energies, should be given much more attention because they are the primary drivers of how we experience life and the results we achieve. In our conversation, Heinrich said that “Life purpose is not what you do, it’s the energy you do it with.” This was an eye-opener to me because I had never thought about life and life purpose that way. He talked about not analyzing what those energies are, but instead BEING them in the unfolding of your life. Then it becomes possible to live at our peak potential if we allow our energy to flow with a total absence of resistance and attachment. This episode is a must-listen.
