“I love what Bill [McKenna] says here; he says everything that exists was once an idea. So think about that when you're manifesting something; you're pulling it into your energy. It starts up in your head, and works its way down to the first chakra, which is reality, the base of your existence." Welcome to part three of this series on manifesting!

“Now the ‘Right Mind,” I love that terminology, because you say “Are you in your right mind?’ Because sometimes when we’re in our left brain, we get very war conscious, and if we just chill, step back, let go a little bit, we can pop into our right mind, which is multidimensional, love conscious. ‘Oh, let’s comprehend something here before we jump to conclusions.’”Dr. Teri Baydar is a leadership development consultant, executive coach, and personal development expert who educates and supports C-suites and high achievers towards their personal path of self-actualizing growth for the greater good. During the decades she has spent coaching high-potential individuals, she has filled the role of mentor, friend, confidante, counselor, healer, educator, the “CEO Whisperer,” and even “my own personal Yoda.” Here’s what we talk about in today’s episode:Living from Love Consciousness rather than from War ConsciousnessA unique skill for getting messages from the other sideHow to be a channel for messages from the other side (Yes!

“The Gnostic Gospels were a deeper teaching, more even some would say a secret teaching of Jesus. Jesus was like a freaking Zen master in these books. He spoke in allegorical stories. The stories are much like fairy tales that have a really deep meaning.”I was raised Christian, but I don't identify as Christian for many reasons. Shanna Vavra explains why I've been so resistant to it AND why what we've been taught is not the truth. In fact, it's a case for finding nuggets of truth in all religions.

"People always ask ‘Can my animal come back to me,” and I’m sure they can, and I’m sure they have every intention of doing that.
