    Former Catholic discovering Christ Conciousness w/the Gift of Sight: Marie Christine

    Spiritual crisis is extaordinarily common for those being diverted to a more spiritual path that generally leads us away from religion, seeking something greater. Such is the case with our guest today, Christine Maire, a spiritual counselor based out of Hawai'i, who was a devout Catholic growing up and found one day that the religion she was brought up in, did not match the reality she was seeing & feeling out in the world upon going to college. This spiritual crisis would take her on a journey of away from her relationship to Jesus initially, only to find him again in a new way & light after being guided by a guru, dicovering meditatio & eventually in a sacred native american plant ceremony to findchrist conciousness once again. This is a fascinating tale, with twists that always seem to lead us back home. Thank you for joining & let's dive in!

    Founder of the New Age in the Spiritual Mecca of Sedona: Anita Dalton

    The spiritual movement has been long in coming into the modern day. What is coined as the 'New Age' is making it way into the mainstream reality/conciousness & today, we have the incredible Anita Dalton, the owner & founder of the Center for the New Age in Sedona, Arizona here, to share herjourney of helping to bring hat advanced conciouness into the world. Originlly from the East Coast, Anita said that she had always been deeply spiritual, first finding herself in Catholic Churches in prayer& meditation constantly. It then evolved, after she discovered sales & desired to do her best, which would lead her into a deeper awarness of how energy (which includes money) works. This job would take her out to California, until one day, on what was a seemingly errant journey, it would land her in Sedona. From there, with spirit at the helm, she recounts stories of experiencing ghosts in Jerome to being drawn to the building where the Center now is, to the miracles it took to support & create the spiritual hub as we know it today . You are in for a special treat with this one, so thank you for joining & let's dive in!

    The Bridge between communing with Animals & the departed: Susan Allen

    She still cites animal communication as her main driving passion, yet it would eventually lead her into mediumship and supporting those living with the passing of their loved ones. It was through a fateful day of working with a woman needing advice about her cats, that the woman's father came through in the form of an image, in a picture, that now Susan's mediumship came forth. In a pleasant synchronicity for Bringonthewoo, as the individual Susan worked with quite a bit to understand her gift was Tim Braun, another amazing Medium out of California who we have had the pleasure of interviewing before. It was through him, working with it herself & taking some courses to guide her, that she has become the internationally renowned medium we know today.

Such is the case with Robert Abrams on his awakening path where debilitating gastro-intestinal problmes lead him down a path to discover Medical Chi Gong after years of developing pain & mistreatment/diagnosis by western doctors. He took this experience to guide him in not only understanding his own deficiencies & traumas that were still being manifested in his body but also, as a teaching tool to now help others in their paths of spiritual development & healing.

    From Average to Super Natural, Hearts Unleashed with Abigail Gazda

    The perfect life on paper looks very similar for most people across the board from a young age. We want to be happy and we associate that with having a relationship, getting married, buying a house with a white picket fence, having children, and having a career that brings us fulfillment as well as money to top it off. Again on paper, these all sound absolutely wonderful. In reality there's a huge discrepancy in that imagery with life in actuality. In the case of Abigail Gazda, she was on her way to be able to have all of these things in her life, until the other shoe dropped. She was out house shopping with her new husband/former long-term boyfriend of nine years, before he came to her and said that he wanted to divorce after only six months of marriage and her world completely changed forever on that day. In hindsight, she said that she could see the signs leading up to the split & cites this as well as her knee injury that ended her college basketball career, as the most pivotal points of her awakening process. After Abigail's break up with her husband, which took place only within a short 45 minute window, did she realize that she needed to find herself and discover a new path. This journey would take her physically from the Midwest out of California and it was so rich with experience and details as well as emotional highs and lows that she ended up creating a fictional story about it and her book Talking to Trees. It was on that journey that she became more aware of her spiritual path, even if it would sometimes make her feel crazy to do things, such as talk to trees or the ocean or the land and get messages back, Abigail was driven onwards. It was through this exploration and expressing her own story in writing that her company, Hearts Unleashed was created. Through which she has been able to help a multitude of individuals including big name personalities and celebrities to create their own books and transform their lives in unimaginable ways through her coaching. Her biggest goal with her work is to get people to become more aware of their centers within themselves, found in the heart. By knowing this space intimately, everything else becomes such a blessing. Abigail is an advocate for pushing boundaries, as she has discovered how important it is to do in her own life. These can include just even becoming more comfortable and aware of your body like embracing your own nudity, when appropriate. She has found that as an author, creativity coach & fellow podcast interviewer that the impact of having people truly find themselves has been without measure. Her energy is so pervasive to hear and enjoy in this interview, that it is difficult not to feel happier yourself upon listening. It is truly a treat today to experience her passion for life and wisdom that she's gained along the way, so now let's dive in to enjoy this wonderful being!

    Adopted into the way of life as a Sundancer: Clint Frakes

    There are many different walks of life that until we gain exposure to, we may not realize is a potential or possibility for ourselves. In today's podcast we have Clint Frakes with us who goes into his story about having been adopted into a Lakota family as a young man and how that has changed his perception of life. While not his genetic ancestry, the way of the Lakota people has become an integral part of his path and identity that he shares with us today. He's awakening story was fraught with many trials like most yet he expressed how he had had vivid memories of becoming one with the universe as a child and how those moments would remain with him as a remembrance that there was something greater than ourselves out there. He also found an innate calling to support those in grief from a young age, noticing it with a neighboring friend of his who had had a death in the family & being able to console them with wisdom beyond his years, which is work that he continues to do to this day. Helping those who have had grief knock on their door to find that it's OK to walk through it and discover there is life on the other side. He also delves into an unusual experience he had, later on in life, while bathing at a Hot Spring with family, how the water of the river held him in what could be described as the universal connection to life and it was from that moment onward that he realized his path was to support and protect mother earth through the education of others to the best of his ability. Having come from a poetry background, Clint is very adept at utilizing words to their greatest capacity for expression in matters of the heart and of the human condition. He's a strong believer that through language, we can find one another in a deeper connection and find it within ourselves. He shared some rather poignant thoughts on how and why we get sidetracked from our spiritual paths as children, citing that it's a natural state of being in wonder and wisdom of youth, that through lack of encouragement or neglect of this awareness of the divine, it diminishes until we make a choice to bring it back. Clint also dives into his identity as a Sundancer, which was traditionally a male (now more fluid) dancer that brings life to prayers for the people who need it. While women bring life in through their physical vessels, men are able to do this in sun dancing with focused intention for those in need such as the elderly or the infirm. Plains tribes throughout the country have some form of Sundance to help bring the wishes and prayers of the people to light. That is what the two Legged are meant to do on this plane as medicine, bring in that creation to physical reality. Now let's dive in to hear & understand more!

    From Escaping/Survival to Thriving in the Four Bodies of Health & Well-being: Allison Ankar

    Time and time again, for multiple practitioners, they have expressed how the introduction to yoga as a way of life, beyond just a physical form of exercise, has completely transformed their lives. With diligent focus and intention, these asanas become more than just a stretch or strengthening practice but a way of approaching life with fulfillment and joy. In today's podcast, we have Allison Ankar who dives into her story back as a young graduate, moving to Arizona from Michigan, completely on faith from an intuitive hit that she needed to be there. As the party girl from college followed her from the Midwest to the southwest, yet while still being a passionate advocate for children as a teacher, the need to escape every day responsibility and reality was overwhelming Allison's life, particularly her health, when she was outside of the classroom, which was rare as she was working 60 to 70 hour weeks. Upon discovering Yoga Allison's approach to life began to dramatically change with more awareness of this practice and inherently herself. Beyond being a yoga instructor too, she is now a health and wellness coach that utilizes the cognitive functioning of learning, that she has continually developed having been a teacher, yet also she integrates Health from a four tiered perspective, or what she calls our four bodies; the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. By addressing each of these and bringing them into harmony, Allison has found that her clients are able to not only feel better in the general sense but also to find profound fulfillment and happiness by embracing adaptability and confidence in moving forward to navigate through their futures. Some of the big takeaways that she emphasizes are to: 1) even begin to take the time to notice where we are out of balance in one of our four bodies. Yoga was so vital for her and even bringing her to balance in the left and right brain hemispheres with movement such as being able to move the left arm on command, for example. Where in life are we maybe also struggling with those simple & basic connections? 2) Allison also really dives into the importance of honoring your gut instinct and knowing when you are on a healthy, appropriate path for yourself versus following something that's leading you astray or to the point of being destructive, such as escapism. This inner guidance and compass has been vital for her not only in her own life but as a practitioner as well. 3) She also brings in a unique factor into her clients lives and recommends everyone engage much more deeply with the power of essential oils and the olfactory senses. Smell has the ability to transform us into the past through profound memory or to facilitate our ability to find the depths of peace when utilizing essences like lavender or others that are very calming. By being able to effectively and appropriately use external beneficial substances like essential oils, we begin to empower ourselves to health and vitality.

    Grace and Ease Found in the Arrangement of Our Lives via Feng Shui w/Rajita Antonia

    The realm of the spiritual has everything to do with our ability to interact with it. Most people tend to think of that as more of a 'psychic' or 'metaphysical' phenomenon, yet today we have the tremendously powerful yet amazingly graceful Rajita Antonia with us to discuss how we can actually interact with it. Rajita describes how feng shui is an accentuation to our lives, much like vitamins and minerals are. We can survive without them yet they create more health and well-being within us. Same with this ancient art. By developing an understanding or awareness of it, or even engaging with a practitioner such as Rejita, we can really build on our foundation for successful relationships, finances and overall well being. Her story begins in the deeply spiritual place of Mount Shasta, California. It was there that she was seeking more on her path to discovering the secrets of the universe. It was through awareness of needing a guide to discover the subtle realms of life that Amma, the hugging saint of India, who has hugged over 6 million people in an effort to create global awareness of peace, came into Rajita's life to help guide her to/through those mysteries. After having met Amma in the United States a few times, she ended up moving to the Saint's ashram in India for 10 years. After a decade of finding she was overheating and realizing she needed balance the masculine and feminine energies in her life, did Rejita end up in Maui, Hawaii with little to her name yet a desire to be of service. After seeking counsel of a Vedic astrologer, who had heavily suggested that she teach and practice feng shui, did she realize that this art needed to be on her radar as a business, yet to hit the ground running, she felt she needed another avenue to support herself financially, which turned out to be real estate. Eventually she was able to combine her passion for feng shui and finding homes for others, as her intuitive knowing of the appropriate space for individuals and their own energy in connection to these houses she was looking at, became clearer & clearer.Some of the weird things she's experienced in her own life is learning where to appropriately place her office, as after unknowingly putting her computer in a zone that was detrimental to work, to the point that her laptop was actually flung away from the space and shattered. She also feng shui'd in her bedroom, to an inch from its life, as she laughingly quotes, to sustain a healthy and happy relationship with her partner. Let's dive into this eye opening yet ancient practice that can benefit our lives in some tremendously beautiful ways.

    Born to walk between the Worlds of Life & Death: Internationally renowned Medium Tim Braun

    The other side is much closer to us than we realize. For a select few, it's actually a very present daily part of their lives, such as the case with Tim Braun, an internationally renowned medium and author out of California. His story begins at a young age with seeing spirits and hearing voices, yet this realization came simultaneously while his brother was being diagnosed with schizophrenia, claiming to hear voices as well. It wasn't until Tim was 22, well after the age schizophrenia would have presented itself, that he felt confident what he was experiencing was real and was not a mental disorder. It was from this age/time frame that he really began to step into the space of embracing his abilities. It wasn't until after a dream, in that same phase of life, that Tim was compelled to go to India and work with mother Teresa did he really step into that power to start helping others find peace with loved ones that have passed on. He describes this dream more as a vision, and against all odds with friends dissuading him from going due to an outbreak of plague, he went. Everything unfolded as he had seen in his dream, such as the airplane parking in the middle of the runway after landing and then deboarding the plane to greet the missionaries who then carried his luggage, to finally meeting mother Teresa herself. This meeting imparted many lessons on him but the biggest is remembering compassion in all that we do in life. Of all of the celebrities and heads of states that Tim has that he's met, only mother Theresa truly embodied the vibration of compassion.  How Tim carries that awareness into his work is remembering that individuals on this side and the other, are fragile, regardless of what they've experienced in life. Having compassion for the message that has been received, no matter how awkward it is on occasion, as he shares interesting stories on, such as identifying a man to a woman by his penis, it is important to embody the message so that the living can really feel and identify with our loved ones who have passed. As a medium, this can be done through sight, taste, smell, & sound, so it is always important to hold space for those senses by refraining from wearing simple things like perfume or lotion when attending a sitting, so the best message can be brought forth.  Some of the big takeaways working with the other side that has really left an impression with Tim and then now being able to relate to us, is no matter what you do in life, do it to the absolute best of your ability. On the other side that's all that truly matters. Regardless of your title, income, or notoriety, from the trashmen, to the CEO, to the fashion model, to the hairstylist, at the end of the day the dead would impart that being committed and passionate about what you do, is ultimately of the utmost importance and in that way the living have a lot to learn but we can start here together, now.

    Lessons from the wild & on the land, Magic & Miracles Rising: Angie Ardnt

    The universe often has an extraordinarily unusual sense of humor when it comes to putting us into life circumstances that will mirror our internal and emotional development. In today's story with Angie Arndt, and it begins with that exact divine comedy. Her spiritual awakening path started by working with exotic animals that were in a sanctuary. They were put there after people tried to make them pets unsuccessfully, being wild animals. At the sanctuary there was a huge range of exotics from big cats, donkeys and burros, and a myriad of others, yet it was their attitudes towards Angie, as cleaned their pens or took care of their other needs, that really created an awareness to the natural world and understanding of mammalian interaction. From here she started to become aware of the greater spiritual picture. She noticed there were those that could care less whether or not she existed, as they had given up on humanity, mirrored by the fact Angie herself, had given up on people as well, after a very difficult childhood of being poor and often misjudged. It was through working with these animals, over a period of seven years, that she was able to not only garner their trust but develop more understanding and awareness of the human condition, that we all go through things that can make us damaged and hurt, which then will lead us to be reactive, like the animals, that she then began to develop a deep sense of compassion towards her fellow man. It was at this point that a friend gave her a book on the soul and consciousness that up leveled her awareness to this practice, as well as taking her first international trip to Costa Rica. While traveling she noticed that people were happy, even with very little. With that, the epiphany came that just simply by being an American citizen, this would actually give her more of an advantage in life via opportunities such as even having a choice to things like a variety of food. From here Angie realized that happiness is a choice and that is worth striving for internally rather than feeling like it is something that you receive from the external source. In coming to this place of understanding, she was able to rekindle a sense of joy that she then perpetuated further and further and more and more by getting out onto the more wild land of Florida and then eventually to Sedona, Arizona via California. Angie now takes people out onto the land in the desert to help them raise their own awareness of the magic that can be found in nature. She herself has experienced miracles such as witnessing the kundalini rising in her self and a friend, not only in a proverbial energetic sense but also physically after doing a yoga practice out on the rocks. While in those movements, they noticed that a hawk caught, to her mind, the largest rattlesnake she had ever seen, and as it was captured, it was mimicking that same kundalini rising energy within the body as it was being carried away. Her story is one of many trials and tribulations, yet magic and miracles as well so let's dive in!

    From Tarot Reader to Seeing into the Truth of Unsolved Mysteries: Trista Wright

    Moving almost the entire breadth of a country can absolutely change your perspective and awareness of life. Such as the case with Trista Wright in the fact that she moved from West Virginia to Sedona, Arizona, feeling like her transition to this new phase of her life in this space was unique, only to come to find out that when you're called to Sedona it's important to heed the call. Unlike moving to anywhere else, your journey to get here will be seemingly unusual until you realize that's how the energy and the space works, yet upon getting out here, it was a particularly special Valentine's Day that would change Trista's life. On that day she got a tarot reading for herself, something that she was never interested in before and was immediately approached to be hired to work for the woman she got the reading from, not understanding why. Her first deck of tarot cards made it into her hands that day as well. Simultaneously on valentines, she also got fired from the very job that brought her out to Sedona, yet she was aware but all things happen for a reason and it was OK. This transition also inspired Trista to reflect on her physical, mental and emotional well-being which led her to discovering a yoga practice that she had never engaged with before.  Not only did this new way to engage with her body help her feel better and, what she would discover later help her be a clearer as a channel, her studio also encouraged her to practice her gift of working with others by reading tarot. Having done that for a while, another really fascinating deck and story would come into her life via the other studio as well. A woman reentering normal life, from having been in prison, connected with Trista and ended up giving her a really rare deck that she uses to this day, that is hard to find out in the real world. Of course immediately after, this individual seemingly disappeared from the area only having been there to deliver these unusual cards to Trista's hands. Another really fascinating part of Trista story is the fact that she reconnected with her old life in West Virginia via a woman who had been murdered in her hometown. Trista was having continuous dreams about seeing this woman being beaten, killed and then stuffed in the trunk of a car and it wasn't until talking to friends back home that she realized the connection and that she was being shown a perspective from a ghost of what had happened in the last moments of life. The story continues as Trista was able to change her dynamic with a ghost/entity by creating some boundaries, as she was constantly being woken up to this brutal scene. Yet even with this change,  she was still witnessing what had happened, creating some peace for this slain woman and knowing that there was a witness to her story, even if it was from halfway across the country. Listening for all of the incredible details! Note: The statements and opinions in this podcast are those solely of the individual being interviewed, and not to be taken as medical advice.

    The keys to life found in Mystery & Magic via Math & Music: Ty Hudnall

    Today we're getting to dive into a whole new perspective on the spiritual realm by combining the macrocosmic and the microcosmic realms and bridging their connection and significance into our own lives. There is a profound awareness that comes with being able to have someone help bridge this gap for us. With us is Ty Hudnall, to do just that, who is a practicing Toltec and African shaman, specializing in music, sound healing as well as astrology with decades of experience. In this journey today, he takes us into a deeper awareness of the reality that everything in life is vibration and by understanding the deeper implications of this concept, how when we can create healing and miracles within our life. Originally from Texas, Ty's journey begins with music as a musician and student, having his first out of body experience on the bandstand, leading to a deeper spiritual awakening. He was credits short from graduating with his degree when he left, after he realized that the musical program he was in was guiding him to be a band director and wanted more than that for his life, much to the lament of his family. So Ty then took his path and morphed into a burgeoning healing practice. He utilized his knowledge base of music and used it to become more and more aware of different sound waves and frequencies and how they affect the physical body as well as the material world, finding the longer waves were those hardest to release from the body. To this day, he uses his background in music theory to help facilitate those who studied music as well to create a deeper and more profound understanding of the universe by integrating the awareness of fractal energy found within the scales. Some of the more unusual things he's experienced were: 1) hosting a ceremony to help anchor intergalactic and divine loving light into the energy of Dallas and yet discovering that it had to be done in collaboration with a female as a fire keeper, after the first ceremony was abandoned. 2) After the ceremony was eventually completed, by meeting multiple people from Mount Shasta to help with this anchoring integration and collaborating with them, he was then energetically spun out of Dallas and moved to Sedona. After checking with his guide, to confirm it was written in his destiny, he moved. 3) Another was early on in his thai massage practice, he witnessed a woman levitating off of the ground while simultaneously experiencing orgasmic bliss, which he felt as well emanating from her, and after this experience it let him into a deep dive and study of physics. From these studies he reconciled that what he had witnessed does pertain to the natural realm but deals more with someone being in full coherence integration that they end up creating their own gravity. An individual can become so self-organized like stars or planets that they are able to, for all intents and purposes, float.

    Back to Origins of healing with Plant Medicine: Siddiqah Verrett

    There are so many different ways to support our life's energy and to follow the healing path. Today we're getting the opportunity to journey with Siddiqah Verrett and her discovery of being able to use very gentle plant medicine and facilitating healing for herself, her family, and for her community. The story is fraught with a tremendous amount of adversity, involving the military, an occult and an incredibly strict religious upbringing. Yet through it all, Siddiqah has found her calling in the magic of medicinal herbs. Coming from a family with a practicing Muslim father and very devout Christian mother, Siddiqah grew up in an environment that was rife with fear. There was a constant theme of having to be afraid of the repercussions dealing with any thoughts or perspectives that were alternative to the faith within the household. This fear would be an overlying force within Siddiqah's life, constantly undermining her truth & reality, until she found the courage to face that deep, dark emotion. She would do it through baby steps, such as starting with something as simple as meditation, as in her own words, 'it was much like prayer' in her mind. Or to trust her inner wisdom that said when she discovered Esther and Abraham Hicks, that it was OK to not only listen, but also to start creating or what she would call manifesting, her life in her future. From that small opening of curiosity and questioning her reality for her upbringing, her intuition then would act as a pivotal insight and guide for her moving forward. With a background in the military, as a Chaplain, serving in Japan, her story would connect her with an amazing group of people that would be her family abroad in faith & practice. Upon leaving the military & ending up in Colorado Springs, she & her family found themselves deeply desiring that same connection with others, found a church that felt like it was espousing good truth. Turned out it was a cult that would permanently alter her understanding of faith. It wasn't until five years later, after learning the power of her No & expressing by leaving the group with her family that Siddiqah would come back to Arizona and begin to process that part of her life. She was even able to write a book about it that you can find on her website delving further into disentanglement. During the aftermath, she poured a lot of love into herself and her family and it wasn't until a pivotal moment of considering going back into the Air Force, that she had a profound dream that showed her what the future held in store. Siddiqah's dream revealed to her about working with plants to be able to support the healing of herself and others. In this dream she saw jars upon jars of different flowers and herbs that she would come to learn after certifications can be profoundly magical in facilitating healing for people. Listen in today for this incredible and inspiring journey!

    Finding Center & Self within Mindfulness & Sound as guide for Life: Erin McDermott

    As we are discovering, the path to the spiritual realm comes in many shapes and sizes through life experiences. Some individuals are born with it and some discover it through their life's journey. Such as the case with Erin McDermott having worked in a genetics lab and opening herself up to new Awareness, she discovered that in the downtime between certain specific testing at the lab, that when she practiced mindfulness, insights would reveal themselves. A big discovery that occurred to her was that her mind ran with thoughts like a New York Stock Exchange ticker tape that was ceaseless. Having a partner to bounce ideas off of, she threw this one out there, to see if he had experiences with his thoughts running rampantly like hers, only to discover that he didn't. An upsetting truth that actually made her feel like he may be lying since in her reality, as it became obviously apparent through this awareness, was very different from his. These mindfulness practices that she was coming to terms with will take her to the next level of not only developing a deeper partnership with her now husband, but also to be in the flow of life so that things will happen with much more grace and ease. Her path to becoming a sound healer was a bit slower in coming but it started from a desire to create beautiful things through music such as she had experience with a harp. After finally being really willing to commit and invest in some crystal balls herself, in Mount Shasta, did she dive into the next level of her now career. Erin is a sound healer, utilizing vibration to help individuals enter into states that either creates clarity, journey or even an ultimate purpose/perspective, helping individuals to dive further into their own spiritual journey. She is able to use her abilities solo or in collaboration with multiple individuals to create life altering events. Some of the incredible synchronicity's that she was able to dive into for us was the very apropos realization that her awakening path started almost 15 years to the day of the interview. Also that when her life in California was ready to transition, all the doors were open for her and her husband to move to Sedona, to start the next leg of their journey finding community and work with profound ease. Collaborations are now becoming more and more common, creating bigger opportunities for awareness and sound healing in her life such as being featured in Travel and Leisure magazine.  Some of the big takeaways from the podcast are to trust the journey, become more aware of reactionary responses  within self and being mindful of them, instead of defaulting to assuming what is actually happening. This practice of reflection vs reaction, will save so many people from the judgment, shame and guilt we feel upon finding out the actual truth/reality, which then really allows us to enter into the flow of life, so that we can be more confident on our paths.

    The Divine found in poetry, steeped in tradition & mysticism: Kamala Murphy

    There is a beauty and a magic found within the ability to have a practice of rituals. From rituals, we are able to create a foundational awareness to taking care of our health, such as something as simple as brushing our teeth daily, to really deepening our faith and walking our path with the divine intelligence that is present in our life. In today's story Kamala Murphey shares her experience with growing up as a Catholic finding she really enjoyed the rituals of faith, such as the 14 states & even as a 13 year old, signing up for being one of the teachers for younger students to learn about Catholicism. While being enthusiastic in her learnings & teaching of htis Christian path, she always felt a little out of place. Kamala found from an early age that she would see and experience things that couldn't be explained on her seemingly 'normal/traditional' path. One of the biggest moments for her in realizing there was a discrepancy in her personal beliefs & reality versus the traditional religious route, was found & defined by an encyclopedia actually. She was looking up something under the letter G, and at the top of the page it ghosts as a subject, was listed, which caught her attention. The definition left her wanting as it said that there was no such thing as ghosts. As she had had experiences with them directly hersel, this left a gap in her awareness, & drove her to seek a greater explanation that she would eventually find in another form of faith. Immersed in the writings of Hafez or Rumi, it was a poem about experiencing Oceans of Love that really spoke to Kamala on her path and introduced her to a practice of Sufism. This is the gnostic forms of Islam, quite ancient, steped within the arts of dance, poetry and visualizations, that would lead her into a beautiful awareness of her world and help her experience ritual in a whole new way. Drawing from that faith, from the wells of deep love and compassion, Kamala uses her devotion for divine love to help people, particularly women, dive more and more into the heart centeredness after having been shut down in life due to abuse or lack of nourishment of the emotional body. She encourages these women, typically with religious backgrounds, to really embrace self-love, even if it feels that it is unavailable at the moment, to even start cracking that door open to that beautiful center, that will lead to a happier, healthier & more heart centered life. Some of the big takeaways from her life experience and story is to really allow yourself to be inundated into the richness of the divine, in whatever path that you follow, as she is such an exemplary individual to highlight how savoring the divine and universal love in your life brings forth a lot of magic. Kamala also heavily encourages anyone who knows what makes their heart happy to follow that path, because at the end of the day not only will it revitalize someone's spirit, will help them sustain their health and well-being, and bring them peace in their final moments. Our heart awareness and happiness is of the utmost importance and should never be undervalued.

    Peace found beyond the Chaos in Awakening: Chris Waychoff

    The story that we're diving into today, is one that I deeply cherish, as it's a great example of the awakening process in action that occurred recently. One of the things about working with practitioners that gets to be rather interesting, is that oftentimes they've been down their path for quite a while, so some of the nuances to what it looks like to become more conscious and aware of the reality around them, get lost with time or in overarching major significant details. Today we have Chris Waychoff with us and his journey is incredibly exciting as he had already  been involved in the spiritual realm, in the way of wanting to support practitioners, yet hadn't gone through that same process himself. Yet when it hit, it changed everything about his life. Chris is an accountant, working with numbers, being very logically oriented yet had some interesting experiences in childhood with seeing the ghost of his grandmother but admitted that empathy and sensitivity to the world around him was not something that boys 'did', having grown up in the 60s and 70s. Walking more of a traditional path, Chris found himself in the very left brain career that he had had. It wasn't until he wanted to collaborate with Christy Strauch on a project in encouraging individuals to have more ritual in their life, did his own life get turned on its head. After having started mysticsforhire.com and connecting with psychics, mystics and healers, including myself, did Chris get invited to go to a conference with Polly Wirum and Tony Redhouse, both of whom have been featured on Bring on the Woo, that Chris had an awakening experience that would enhance and enrich his life by simply becoming more aware of himself. After completing a ceremony with Tony, at the end of the retreat with Polly, Chris's sense of heart centeredness, empathy and sensitivity to the world around him became clear and amplified, almost to the point of overwhelm. With guidance from myself and other incredible practitioners, he has now found that it is much easier to feel those energies, on his own terms, while respecting others' space as well. A very common mistake when first learning how to manage your own energy is to intentionally or unintentionally overlap with someone else's field. He now is able to use grounding tools and shielding practices to help him feel more comfortable and confident in the world yet also embracing his abilities. A great example of this is that Chris has always been aware to some degree that he's needed to meet clients in person to be able to discern whether or not they're a fit to work together. Yet now can even identify it more strongly as his ability to read their energy and find compatibility between them and him. Some of the big takeaways from his story are accepting and trusting the process even if it can feel overwhelming because on the other side of tuning in to the sensitivities is the worlds where peace can be found amidst the chaos.

    Love spanning continents & Covid: Siddiqi Ray, creating visibility across the Pacific

    There is always something so incredible about hearing a truly beautiful love story! While not always comfortable, a good love story needs a dash of adversity for it to come together as well as a healthy dose of faith. The one that I have for you today, spans continents, a dark night of the soul as well as a pandemic. With a lot of belief in the divine Siddiqi Ray, not only waited for the man of her dreams for over a period of two years in Los Angeles, after falling off of a cliff in Mexico and severely damaging her lower body, her connection was tried even further with an impetus to go back to New Zealand again after making her relationship work long distance over the Pacific. This pressing need for her to return would turn out to be the last time she could travel before the pandemic hit, which would then completely close down the country. Her flight turned out to be the last that was allowed to enter New Zealand before the borders entirely shut, leading to an epic twist of fate for not only her love life but her career as well. Now, after having been established in a new country, getting married over zoom, and creating a life in Auckland, with even new puppies included, Siddiqi was now at a crucial juncture of what to do next with career. Having left the United States in a hurry, she left her camera behind, a tool that she would realize later that had become a crutch after having been a 30 year professional photographer, that the real work she needed to do was to bring women into the limelight and help them discover how to become visible in the world on the camera. Her work as a Visibility Coach has helped her witness people transform themselves to the point doubling their income, or having their dream come true of working with the White House. The big takeaway is that: Siddiqi would have us remember to trust intuition. Having grown up with it, it has been an invaluable resource to help her navigate life and she strongly encourages everyone to embrace the adventure that intuition offers, even if it doesn't always make sense as it can lead to incredible connections and stories like she experienced with her husband or eventually her career.  Siddiqi Ray is a groundbreaking Visibility Mentor who has developed her 30-year career as a professional photographer and master mentor to women, into a program to support change-maker women and business owners to master their visibility to enable their success and results in the world. Siddiqi is the founder and creator of the ground-breaking Soul Portrait™ process. For over 30 years Siddiqi has worked with world-leading organizations and leaders including The Mayo Clinic, Target, The Associated Press, The Navy Seals, The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Deepak Chopra, and The Kennedys to support their visibility and work in the world. Siddiqi was also awarded the Icon Award by the International Women's Economic Forum for her work with women community leaders.

    Encountering the hand of God for a 180 change in life: Jason Flores

    If there is ever a story where you can believe the hand of God is maneuvering somebody's destiny in unfathomable ways, then listen in today for Jason Flores' tale. Leading what all would consider to be a very idyllic life, pursuing his dreams and working for a high end tech company, traveling extensively, Jason was on the fast track for the traditional sense of success. It wasn't until he was in Iceland on a vacation, that a congenital defect reared havoc and completely course corrected the path Jason was on. He has a rare genetic defect that someone would carry from birth, where he had a blood vessel burst in his brain, altering his cognitive and physical abilities. It was so severe that he was immediately rushed to the hospital in Iceland and stayed there for months after brain surgery before having to go home where he worked extensively with physical & mental therapy, fighting his emotional depression, until one day he admitted to his parents that he was done. He was so distraught at having them take care of him, when he really aspired to take care of them, that it took the life out of him. It wasn't until his parents' response to him, that left a tremendous mark in his life to this day, that they were so sorry for having done this to him that he realized he needed to get out of his funk. By taking the reins and reevaluating his life after his near-death experience, Jason then realized that he needed to push himself to have a new experiences and let the universe guide him to where he needed to be and that's when he found Mind valley that really resonated with him. Then that led him to their gathering called Afest, which after applying and being accepted, he was on his way to Bali. Jason experienced, like most of us can, incredible doubt about his decision to go but quickly realized that the beautiful people there & the connections were exactly what he had been looking for in his life. And even going to the next conference in Portugal, he found one of his closest friends now, had actually been in Bali, too. They had almost led parallel lives in finding they were in the exact same place in Singapore at almost the exact same time, live only minutes from one another in Southern California only to find that they had to meet in Portugal. A great example of divine synchronicity and connection in his life. Jason has now come to realize that his life's work is in service to others and he's found his ability to do that through encouraging men in particular, to embrace their vulnerability as the strength it is rather than the weakness we've always perceived it to be. Within vulnerability, he finds life's greatest expression and that by conveying our feelings, we are able to release and experience life all encompassing, versus his trench analogy and constantly digging a hole and pretty soon finding yourself stuck down there because you're trying to bury all those things that are uncomfortable. Vulnerability teaches us that the only way to deal with this pain is to go through it as he's learned immeasurably in his own life. Now let's listen in!

    The answer to life found in breath with Zach Rehder

    What if this (what you're experiencing) isn't what you think it is? This is a profound question and mantra brought forth by the incredible teacher and guide Zach Rehder. This question has stuck with me from having experienced one of his breath workshops, as a pivotal engagement of questioning experience within a spiritual practice and life. We are so quick to want to label things to understand, yet you may not yet realize how this aspiration takes away from being able to invite magic in our lives!  Zach's story is one that culminates in this lesson of questioning, as his awakening path began in his late teens early 20s after growing up in a household that was devoid of religion or spiritual practice. He sought to understand and find something greater, as he knew something was missing in his life. This journey would take him into accumulating a tremendous amount of spiritual information yet happiness eluded him, as knowledge without application only takes up space in the mind versus creating positive feelings. Aka he just knew more stuff without feeling better. He had a profound insight on his path, that he shares with us today, in that if you feel you 'know' it, then it is not what you understand it to be. Zach shares that on his journey of finding peace, instead of understanding, breath is crucial. You cannot breathe tomorrow or in the past, you can only breathe in this moment and it is one of the best places to find yourself in our center and be in the present moment, which then gives us grace to allow.  In facilitating breath work for others, he conveyed a few stories of witnessing miraculous events such as people levitating or tumors entirely disappearing. Zach also elaborates on his awareness of the brain's capacity to process such miracles and that the person who levitated the next day forgot. Or in another story, how three sisters witnessed their father's passing, and in that moment, the bed the father lay upon, shook as if it was going through an earthquake. The next day two of the sisters remembered but one did not. His point is that the brain itself cannot process infinite and by being aware of how much more there is to life, it then creates the space to allow for the beautiful unknown.  Join us today for an incredible journey into this unknown, to embrace our lives in the fullest expression they're meant for! Zach Rehder is an international teacher, speaker and healer. Through a series of awakenings, he became a channel for messages and energies that heal, unlock and awaken human potential. His work enables individuals to dissolve barriers and free themselves from negativity, limitation and lack. He travels to facilitate seminars and workshops and regularly hosts teleclasses and online programs. He provides remote and in-person private sessions for clients from around the globe.  Many clients have experienced amazing, inexplicable healings and awakenings through Zach's programs and sessions. His mission is to support others in their awakening process. He assists people in removing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual obstacles so that they can clearly see, hear and follow their own Divine guidance with grace and ease and fully embody who they came here to be.

    From being an architect to a designer of health & spiritual well-being: Athena Allread

    Something magical happened in the 1980s, where a whole shift of different energies entered into the human realm to create beautiful change for the world. Speaking today to Athena Allread, the Seaside Shaman based out of Rehoboth Beach Delaware, she's one of these beautiful energies that came in the 80s to really help transform everyone's lives for the better. Being a part of what she calls the indigo children, those that came in during this time are looking to create deep, profound healing with individuals and eventually the world, as Athena does daily, in her life and work. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, coming from a rather religious background, Athena's story starts very young and her recognition of her abilities to read adults and their feelings as well as having those "imaginary" friends that would be around her and supporting her in childhood. It wasn't really until college that she started expressing even more of her spiritual abilities by exploring yoga alongside the very grounded and practical study of architecture. It was design that would initially propel her out of college into the world, yet it was a beautiful synchronicity of a desire to become a yoga instructor that would change her life. She was fired from her architecture firm the weekend she decided to pursue yoga yet what would seem to be a travesty in our modern terms, also then opened the door to new opportunities as an instructor as well as other architecture jobs to sustain her living. It wasn't until she had to reconcile her life after her second Saturn returns, and so much of her life fell apart including the death of her mother during this time, she discovered a shaman to help her on her journey and her healing. Athena got to such a breaking point that she was questioning life and whether or not she should be a part of it due to the amount of pain she was suffering. After working with the shaman and discovering what she really needed to do was grieve for all that she had lost to then allow herself to become someone new, did she realize that not only was her healing miraculous but also something she could do for others as well. And hence, began her journey as a shaman herself. Athena is now a practicing shaman teacher, leader of groups and author that provides a tremendous amount of resources to those that she works with to have healthier, happier, more fulfilled lives. Some of the magic that she shares here with me today are of the synchronicity that happen when you allow yourself to surrender to the guidance of God and either discovering people who can help you on your path such as when she was starting her nonprofit, or bringing hope and faith into her life in such a magical profound way that I truly hope will move you on your path to remember that no matter how bleak things can seem there are always the stories that can uplift us as humanity bring us together and help us move forward.

    Finding a new life on the other side of health crisis: Polly Wirum

    It is not uncommon to hear stories of huge life changes in the face of adversity and there is nothing like a health scare to bring more life awareness to the forefront of our minds. Such as the case with Polly Wirum, who for all intents and purposes let a very traditional life, as a wife, a mother, a nurse, and even going above and beyond doing volunteer work, as well as training for marathons, that it wasn't until She was in her early 40s that a tremendous health scare shook up her reality to alter her perception of life and how she was approaching it. Afterwards, there was no going back.  Admittedly, Polly has always been fairly spiritual but it wasn't until she had this reality check with health, that she realized there was so much more to life in ways that she hadn't fathomed before. While no longer able to exert herself to extremes physically with marathons, mentally or emotionally with family and work, Polly's connection to the universe was deepend and there was a call for her to practice working with her spiritual gifts as the profound psychic and medium she is now. She has now come to honor that while no one likes to be uncomfortable, this awakening turned out to be the best gift she could have received as it has led her to a much healthier, happier and fulfilled life.  In today's episode, Polly shares fascinating stories of connection with nature throughout her life, whether it was bicycling national parks to constantly having beautiful interactions with animals, particularly coyotes. She has even seen how the trees show us we're all connected and how this knowiness enriches her life. Polly has taken her awareness with energy and not only has used it to support and guide individuals one on one, in groups via retreats but now is taking her over decade worth of knowledge to teach and train others in their own intuitive abilities. She's also in the final stages of having her book out with her journeys and stories of transformations that she's witnessed along the way. Some of the big takeaways from Polly's experience is to be aware of when we are forcing life versus being in the flow with it, such as a case with her pushing herself too hard to try to do everything and then realizing through sacrificing our health that it wasn't worth it. Now she approaches life from a place of mores and effortlessness by allowing life to flow. Something also to be aware of is that it is important to have a second set of eyes on situations or problems that you may be encountering, like she found in her own life while writing her book. It's been such a transformational piece for her that it brought up work she needed to do as well and so by having a coach she was able to not only get through completing her novel and disseminating the incredible information she has but also didn't even able to use the tools to help him on her marriage. Seeking help and perspective only makes us more capable and stronger.

    Memories found in the body lead to past life discoveries & healing: Erin Koenig

    Like technology, our body, when it works, is amazing! We feel we are able to sail through life with complete grace and ease, almost even, forgetting its existence. Yet when it doesn't work, it seems like the end of the world! Unlike technology though, the pain & discomfort we feel in the day to day grind, can impact us so deeply, that it changes the course of our destiny. Such is the vein of conversation that we have today with Erin Koenig, an Intuitive Body Worker, Yoga Teacher & Massage therapist out of Oslo, Norway. Erin has known her path from an early age, which was to set out and become a massage therapist to heal people with her hands. It began with what Erin and I agree now is probably inappropriate, at the time it worked, but it was an elementary school teacher's request for a shoulder massage during classroom reading time that piqued her interest in hands-on healing. She would notice that if she wasn't chosen that day for the reading session, the dynamic between watching the other students massaging the teacher's shoulders would frustrate her when it was not being done appropriately. She was able to see the energy of how other students would leave on her teacher yet also, when she was chosen to do the shoulder rub, how and where the tension was carried within the muscles as well as then be able to alleviate it. She knew from her youth that she had healing hands but it wasn't until she discovered Reiki that she realized she could incorporate energy work into the body work. It wasn't until she had a client who is a psychotherapist that came to her asking to release traumas and memories in the body from a severe break up that Erin realized that she was able to then begin working with her intuition more to help her clients. With this recognition things like past life memory recall in the body would come up, where whether you would want to call it an ancestral memory or past life, the body was holding on to aches or pains that were not associated with experiences in this lifetime. Case in point, her own story of having an arrow lodged in her back from an ex in a past life that would manifest as a sharp pain she would feel in her shoulder in this life with him, when they argued. Well come to find out he had shot her in a past life, with a bow and arrow and her body was remembering or reminding her how it felt unsafe around this individual. An amazing insight and experience for her to build upon to help other clients of hers overcome pains themselves.  The big takeaways from this podcast are: that being attentive to our body and the messages that it is sending to us will really help us heal and function with fluidity. This will then move us forward in life with more understanding of creating a healthy vessel and potentially show us how to interact with others. Such as a case as another client of Erin's, who is a therapist and is now able to incorporate body awareness into his work and with his clients to help them transcend their pains and traumas. Another important recognition is that we are crystalline beings as fascial tissue in itself is & resonates at the same pioezo-eletric frequency as crystals. She and I really dive into the depths about how this tissue is much more profound and important as a transmitter of information and energy as well as being an incredible support system for our bodies.

    Award-winning public speaker and musician dives into the spirit of adversity: Tony Redhouse

    Like many journeys, life is what you make of it. In the case of Tony Redhouse, from a very young age he was propelled into the public's eye to represent his culture as a Navajo boy. In his eyes now, this moment was the absolute beginning of highlighting his place in the world yet that path took many years & extreme addiction to come out on the other side of as the healer. Tony equated the story to that of a young eagle being thrust out of the nest, which is born of struggle, as he himself struggled to find the support that he needed to become the man & guide he has created himself to be now.  As a young man his path was colored with a multitude of drugs, seeking to find greater answers to life and the universe. His consumption of these was to such a degree, that eventually his family had to intervene and institutionalize him. Tony was able to come out the other side of his addiction and realize what he was actually looking for was the divine in the world and there were other ways to find it. After reconciling that for himself, he has taken his journey of having explored the darkness so thoroughly, to be able to help others now embody their light through counseling, musical journeys, discovering and finding their own dreams, and really embracing and finding their own vulnerabilities in life. In the ceremony he has created, people learn to relax & heal to the sounds of native drumming and music while developing skills and wisdom that facilitate recovery and a healthy future.  His accolades include sharing his knowledge and journey as a keynote speaker for Southwest Schools for Behavioral Health Studies, 54th International Women's AA Conference, the Department of Justice "Victims of Crime on Reservations' conferences (AZ, NV and MI), the Environmental Protection Agency (Raleigh Durham NC) and the Department of Commerce (Washington DC). In 2008, Tony was the host of his own "Tony Redhouse TV Show (Cox cable 120 & 97)." May 25, 2012 the City of Petaluma (CA) officially proclaimed May 25 as "Tony Redhouse Day'' because of his extensive work with drug addiction programs. He has appeared on the Dr. Oz TV show, "Releasing Emotional Baggage" (Sept 14, 2012), "The Real Housewives of New Jersey'' Reality TV Show (S5, 2013); Keeping up with the Kardashians, "Courage to Change," (S9, E7, March 2014). He is also a featured luminary in Deepak Chopra's "Death Makes Life Possible" a film documentary about death and the afterlife. In June of 2019 he presented the opening Ceremony and Concert for Dr. Joe Dispensa and Gregg Braden's 'Sedona Embrace the Bliss' 2019 (6/6/2019). Some of the magic he has experienced is releasing his sense of what is healing, having done a transition for someone who was featured in the Deepak Chopra's documentary, that then went on to live another fulfilling year of life after struggling with terminal cancer to doing a healing ceremony for his father only to find that he was the catalyst to help him transition to the other side.

    Discovering spiritual teachers in the most unlikely of places: Pilisa Rainbow Lady

    Pilisa Rainbow Lady has had a journey similar to many on the spiritual path in that her gifts were very present during her childhood but suppressed or denied due to familial and/or societal pressure, with a familiar sentiment of 'you're crazy' or that she was 'delving into the work of the devil' when she would ask about greater understanding in this realm. Having always known she was a spiritual being, yet denying it's presence in her life due to her upbringing, it wasn't until she delved into what later turned out to be a very successful business, that spiritual teachers via business coaches, came into her life. These individuals opened up the doors to practicing her intuitive gifts via shamanism. This point in Pilisa's life was really instrumental completely changing the path of who she had been into who she has now become. The company that she was running was becoming very prominent in her field and while very technologically experienced she knew she needed help in running a business that was quickly becoming more than she or her partners could manage. Through coaching, and again opening up that spiritual path, the company was sold and she was able to retire at age 33. From here it then became important to continue her shamanistic practices and give back to the world through connection. While traveling the globe and being able to support foundations fiscally and physically, Pilisa also developed her talent for artistry with her glassworks which she still continues to this day. Important takeaways from this conversation and dialogue with Pilisa, that I found to be helpful, is recognizing that like many people it's OK if you were not always understood as a child and in your spiritual gifts or inclinations. Another important thing to remember is that it is always good to work within ourselves but get help when we find we need it. It is very important to have that recognition for her to reconcile that when she was struggling with her business, having a second set or multiple sets of eyes on a problem or sticking point can be a tremendous help in our  us growth. Of course the caviare is that we then move forward and put those systems in place and take action. Also, a big final emphasis was placed on her parting message that the spiritual path and faith can overlap very easily if we allow it. It is also good to be aware when our faith may be hindering us from progressing on that path because it was rooted in ancestral practices & we stick with it, afraid to potentially let it go if it is no longer serving. Some of the magical take away from Pilisa's experience: are what it's like when you listen to divine intuition and guidance to purchase anything, such as a piece of property, which was in her case. She didn't have the financial resources, was guided to get it and was open yet realize she didn't have the money to purchase it. Then of course, lo and behold, a week later having set the intention to buy the land and knew what she would use the money for if it came, so it did and the land was hers, which continues to be developed to this day. Or another great one to experience in life is the bending of time. Pilisa experienced getting from one place to another in what typically should've taken an hour and a half happened only in seeming minutes. Magic is woven in her experience for sure.

    Achieving understanding and self-awareness through ritualistic earth and seasonal devotion: Leigh Lucero

    Sometimes our path unfolds in faith where we become the leaders in our family vs the follower.  Such is the case with Leigh Lucero's story that we are diving into today. She discovered her faith and her mother eventually followed. Unlike a lot of awakening stories, Leigh grew up in an environment that was fairly open yet without structure towards faith, so when she stumbled upon a book of Wicca practices, it just became very clear to her that this was her path as she said 'It just made so much sense.' As it was divinely meant to, she also happened to then quickly connect to a community of practicing witches in her area, that would eventually open up the doors for her mother to join in on the path of finding understanding and self-awareness through ritualistic earth and seasonal devotion. From Wicca in childhood, Leigh eventually found her way to more indigenous practices and engaged in different native dances, like the sun/moon dance, that uses the body and ritual to help expand consciousness to overcome whatever it is that someone is encountering they are looking to heal or transition. Her experience with her native teacher would also eventually lead Leigh on a course to finding/expanding her faith by discovering the traditions found in India. Her story is a wondrous conglomeration of converging paths for her to really embody a diverse and beautiful and spiritual life Now based in Sedona Arizona, after having lived on the East Coast in Virginia and Florida, Leigh and her business partner now have a physical location in the Village of Oak Creek, that comes with a beautiful story of divine intervention you will have to tune into. Here, she is not only is able to practice healing modalities, such as QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnotherapy developed by Dolores Cannon), as well as doing intuitive readings but Leigh is also a master jeweler and creates consciously designed jewelry and intention pieces. Some of the weirdest things that she's experienced have been:  1) finding in her travels that whatever or whenever she needed something, it would be there or 2) embarking on discoveries in a journey that was completely miss scheduled, ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and date yet it turned out to be exactly where she needed to be. In that journey she was able to discover the beauty and healing energy of Chichen Itza in Mexico with an impromptu connection to a Mayan Priest.  The big takeaways to be aware of in Leigh's story are 1) that finding community on your path is exceedingly important 2) Allowing the journey to unfold will bring forth strength and fortitude in your faith and practices, even if you start from one modality it and it changes with time into another and then maybe eventually morphs altogether and 3) knowing that when you surrender to the bigger picture/divine energy that what you need is brought to you without struggle. Such as a case of her and her business partner finding their store after having searched for months, only to have it delivered to them on an off chance conversation that has now changed the course of her life.

    How a single question can be pivotal in opening up reality: Isaac Mars

    On Most awakening paths that I have encountered, generally there is an accumulation of events that leads to one really pivotal moment, that will open somebody's eyes to the spiritual realm. In the case of Isaac Mars, there was a lot of life experience that would lead him up to this culmination of awareness but the actual split second change of his entire world and identity came from a simple question, whispered within seconds, which was 'what is time'? Stemming from the need to create a digestible perception of the flow of time in a sci-fi fantasy book that he was undertaking, this elementary inquisition into how time works in our perceived reality and could work within a book with time travel, Isaac realized that all is not what it had seem to be as he initially thought and lived. Now, of course, part of his story also includes that ever present drive for love, in which Isaac recognizes was a crucial piece of his awakening process, in meeting what he calls his twin flame. While inspirational, as with most of these connections, it's very deep, very intense and generally leads to a separation, which happened to him. Yet without going through this impassioned and extraordinary experience, Isaac admitted that it was extremely important to create the foundation of self-awareness and love of himself. It catapulted him to start defining himself as who he wanted to be in the world, as well as what he wanted to create, which would lead him to the book. This story is one about embracing surrender, as a lot of his progress forward into public speaking has stemmed from the ability to trust the divine and go where he's been called. When that call has been heeded, Isaac has been able to appear on stage miraculously after cancellations of previous speakers and has helped him to create profound connections. These individuals are helping to propel him forward in getting his message out about the importance and vitality of becoming a more heart centered individual: not only a spiritual practice but as a daily life philosophy. The big takeaways from this interview are hopefully beginning to recognize the significance of being curious about life and how it works for you as well as others, the importance of being in your heart space to embrace effortlessness, as well as developing faith, in your life purpose and path and discovering your soul family/tribe, and hearing about how beautiful opportunities will present themselves when you do, just as Isaac has experienced. He is currently based out of Sedona, Arizona and will be in Mount Shasta in the summer of 2022 speaking on said topics. You can easily reach him directly if you ever called for spiritual counseling and guidance. Isaac's story goes to show that no matter your history of origin, whether it be the military, a traditional job, from schooling or wherever you have found yourself doing, finding inspiration and connection to the universe is attainable for everyone.
