If you want to learn about quantum energy and the healing it enables, this episode is for you. My guest, Joshua Bloom, is a quantum energy coach and healer, and what he shares in this episode is quite enlightening. He wrote a book entitled The Ultimate Answer is Inside and produced a movie with the same name.  He became a reiki master; he studied Dr. Bruce Lipton's discoveries about cellular intelligence and quantum biology; and he intuitively helped clients to move energy in their bodies to heal physical illnesses and psychology imbalances. Over time, he mastered what he calls Quantum Energy Transformation. In this conversation, he shared a process of achieving a more powerful quantum energy state, or beingness, in the body. He explained that "being quantum" involves moving energy through the cells. And he told us that we can learn to operate at a higher level of awareness and identity with spirit in which we can live more consciously. I especially loved his reminders at the end of the episode that "Anything is possible" and "Step into your greatness", and he also offered you a gift of free manifestation training (which I wholeheartedly recommend to you) at https://quantumenergycenter.mykajabi.com/discovering-the-science-of-quantum-manifestation-optin-raymondp.

I think you will enjoy this conversation with Victoria Rader... I certainly did. She is a woman who has a deep intuitive understanding of spirituality and how the Universe works. She wrote a book - Empower mE: The 35 Universal Laws to Make Money Work for You - which got the attention of the legendary Jack Canfield. (You'll also love her explanation of why she spells the word "me" that way.) And she calls herself a possibility coach because, through her Empower mE Academy, she helps clients create peace, purpose, and prosperity in their lives. When I asked her how we can change the world in a positive way, she said "We will only change the world when we experience true inner change first." In other words, it begins with each of us going within to know ourselves and change our state of being. Change starts with each of us as Gandhi said. When I asked her about manifesting, she pointed out that most people are unclear about or even detached from what they really want. And she spelled out a 4-step process for getting clear and visualizing the results we would love most. You can learn more about her at Yu2Shine.com, and be sure to take her money empowerment quiz.

This episode is all about why LOVE IS OUR WAY to a better life and a better world. I was thinking that I needed to take a break from guest interviews and revisit this all-important theme. And I'm choosing to do that by re-issuing the audio for S3E4. There are many spiritual topics that I've talked about in Our Spiritual Life episodes in the past 3 years. But these five are fundamental: 1) Love is Our Way, 2) We Are All One, 3) We are Individuations of the Divine, 4) We are All Equal (in the eyes of the Divine), and 5) The Divine is Pure Love and the Source of All Life. (Those were usually not the episode titles, by the way.) But if we can fully understand and commit to these fundamental truths, then we can begin to live consciously at a deep, world-changing level. In this episode, I talk in detail about topics 1, 2, and 3. In another episode (tentatively targeted for February 20, 2023), I will drill into topics 4 and 5 and talk about how living true to these five fundamentals can change humanity's future in wonderful ways.Support the show

Dr. Pamela Gerali is best known for her Blueprint for the Human Spirit, which she downloaded from the Divine some years ago. Basically, the blueprint is a model for relating to life in many different dimensions and a guide for self-discovery and living consciously. She has a doctorate in Holistic Health Sciences, but she is driven by powerful spiritual experiences in her life which led her to a deep spiritual understanding of herself and, more generally, about our place in a world that is truly spiritual in spite of our beliefs based in separation and selfishness. Her recent book, The Dance of Ego and Essence: Confessions of a Divine Diva, is a remarkable story of examining her own self-truths - that is, becoming radically honest with herself about herself - and awakening more fully to the truth that we are all divine beings. She learned that we are being called to express our divinity through our humanity. And that means we must learn to live much more consciously than we do today. In reference to the state of the world, she reminded us that "There will never be world peace until we have peace within." And she said that "Becoming more conscious is the greatest gift we can give to the world", an idea she attributed to David Hawkins. Her best advice: "Come to know who you really are", and "Show up as love in every moment." You can learn more about her at DrPamelaGerali.com. Support the show

I think you may find this episode to have an interesting conversation with David H. Green because he's a talented and interesting guy. He's an author, musician, filmmaker, spiritual teacher, inventor, and also a rabbi - and this is the first time I've had a guest talk about some of the traditional Jewish beliefs. But we talked about spirituality generally and especially about the real you - i.e., your soul. The discussion came around to oneness, and David (as a musician) used the interesting analogy of playing in a symphony, which I liked. But we also covered topics such as resistance, surrender, humility, acceptance, purpose, learning life lessons, and love. Near the end, David told listeners to "Get the courage to be spiritual" in response to a world that often denies spirit, kindness, and goodness, And he advised us to "Turn down the distractions and find time to talk with God within you." Yes, the inner work, or even just finding the time to go within and quietly listen to our soul, is one of the most beneficial things we can do.

This episode was a completely new experience for me in that this was the first show I've ever done focusing on children and parenting. That was because my guest, Timothy Stuetz, holds those topics near and dear to his heart even though he is very knowledgeable and experienced in many other things. He has been a long-time healer and spiritual coach, but he has also authored 88 children's stories and counting. Many of his stories feature a well-known character named Bliss Beary Bear that children love. He talked about the importance of having family rituals and the need for parents to reconnect to their inner child. I asked him about the keys to "conscious parenting", and he offered these: 1) learn the stages of child development, 2) learn to parent yourself (deal with your inner child wounds), 3) tune into your heart and listen to its wisdom, and 4) be fully present with your children and give them love always. He recommended the book Magical Parent, Magical Child by Joseph Chilton Pearce, and said it's somewhat similar to a course he offers called "Sacred Parent, Magical Child". Related to energy healing, he mentioned that he loves training adults in his Quantum Energy Academy. And he concluded with this wonderful advice: "Keep smiling, loving, and learning, and tune into the magic in life."

I loved this episode with Kute Blackson because he brought so much wisdom to the show! Kute, who was born in Ghana, is a transformational speaker, national best selling author, and incredible spiritual teacher. We talked about self awareness and getting in touch with our True Self, our essence. This was what his first book, You. Are. The. One., was all about. And he told us that "There is no real transformation without truth.", and he talked about the necessity to uncover the lies we are telling ourselves and to expose and acknowledge those deep, disowned emotions and beliefs that we don't want to face. He said that when we can undo the conditioning from the past that is holding us back, we can access inner freedom, and "Freedom is the nature of who we are." In the rest of the conversation we talked about the message of his newest book, The Magic of Surrender. And he told us that surrender - letting go of the need for control - also leads to freedom. "Surrender to that which is greater than you." "Surrender to your soul, and that requires letting go of the ego." And he explained how surrendering to Life leads to magic... how Life will begin to use you in powerful and delightful ways. And he suggested that we ask this question "What is it that Life is seeking to express through me?", and then be open to receiving the answer. Now I mistakenly ended the conversation with Kute short because I got confused about the recording time. So  there is a bonus because for the last part of the show, I read for you the Introduction from The Magic of Surrender. That lets you hear Kute's words on just how powerful surrender can be. Kute's primary website is KuteBlackson.com, and you can also learn about a special program he does at BoundlessBlissBali.com.Support the show

My guest for this episode was Kevin McCrudden who is very well known as "Mr. Motivation", a speaker on motivation (especially for commencement addresses but also for corporations), and an author of multiple books. He's now also becoming known as a filmmaker for the documentary "The Light of Man", and he also has an audio book with that same title. We had a wide-ranging conversation about his work in motivation, his book Who Are You? on self-actualization in which he presents an update on Maslow's hierarchy of needs using a multi-dimensional approach, his award-winning short film, and the spiritual aspects of all of that. This was a fun discussion on many different things, but along the way we touched on key points of the need for: personal transformation, a spiritual basis to life, awareness, wholeness, and the awakening of mankind to new levels of consciousness and how we relate to each other in the world. Based on his spiritual insights that led to the making of "The Light of Man", he also said that now, instead of closing an email with "God bless", he now uses "God bless and namaste". And, for himself personally, he translates "Namaste" to mean "The divine light of God in me acknowledges the divine light of God in you". A very nice touch, don't you think?

TeZa Lord describes herself as an author, artist, and spirit activist. She says that "a Spirit Activist is a person who dedicates their life’s energies to uplifting the collective consciousness of all humankind, one person at a time." I love that definition (and I now realize I'm a spirit activist too) and that definitely describes TeZa, the energy she brings to everything she does, and her focus on spreading Love. This episode is all about having that kind energy and focus on uplifting our collective consciousness, not just for ourself, but for the good of the world. She said that life is about choices, and: "Everything in our life is a choice that takes us toward or away from love.", and "Surrender to something bigger than yourself."  And she emphasized that having awareness is not enough... It requires awareness, acceptance, and action. So many issues in life come from our non-acceptance of what is, and acceptance is key before taking action. Acknowledging the issues (what is) is necessary to resolve those issues. She also taught a technique that she learned from the book Into the Magic Shop by James Doty, and in simplified form it is: 1) body calm (relaxed), 2) mind calm (accepting and focused), 3) open heart (feeling unconditional love), and 4) clear intention. (I now have the book Into the Magic Shop, and I highly recommend it.) We talked about much more, but I really love what she recommended to everyone: "Find joy. Make it a priority in your life!"

In this episode, Patricia Albere and I talk about her experiences with mutual awakening and the unitive consciousness work she is doing now with groups. She is the founder of the Evolutionary Collective, an internationally known contemporary spiritual teacher and bestselling author of Evolutionary Relationships: Unleashing the Transformative Power of Mutual Awakening. She has been a spiritual transformation teacher since 1971 when she began as an EST trainer with EST founder Werner Erhard. But along the way, she had a very amazing experience in mutual awakening with a man she had fallen in love with. We talked about that and how powerful that was because it was a case of inter-subjective awakening and experiencing reality with another person in a much deeper way. Over the last 14 years, Albere has been pioneering a whole new realm of group unity work that leads to a shared unity in which the group experiences intra-subjective (shared) reality together. She says that in that state of shared unity, one feels that the individuals in the group take on a shared group identity (while still retaining their individual identity). And she added that she clearly feels that "Evolution is leading the group to new, higher levels of consciousness." She describes this as going beyond our individual "Me project" to the "We project" which involves truly experiencing We Consciousness as shared unity, shared reality. In talking with her, I feel that this is where human evolution is ultimately going, and I believe her work is very important for the future of humanity.

S3E18 is an episode you should listen to if you are looking to better understand yourself because it is about discovering your multiple natures. My guest, Steven Rudolph, is the CEO of a company called Multiple Natures, and their business is helping people learn what their natures and intelligences are and what they are meant to do in the world. I took their assessment myself - they call it the MNTEST - and I received their report prior to this recorded conversation. In their framework, there are 9 natures and 10 intelligences, so that covers quite a spectrum of aptitudes and abilities, and the report gives you your rating (1-10) for each along with an explanation of what that rating means. But I learned that you need a qualified MN Practitioner to really begin to appreciate what the combination indicates for application in the real world, including spiritual aspects. Rudolph provided me a lot of interesting and useful insights into my natures and intelligences that I never would have fully understood on my own.  He is a gifted teacher and story teller, and he made the information that he shared quite interesting and memorable. He refers to nurturing your natures as "feeding your tigers". Some key messages/takeaways: You can rediscover your authentic self. You can't escape your true nature, so the more you know about it the better. You must learn to trust your true nature, and then live into it because that's how you are meant to live your life - loving your life - and how you can best serve others.

This episode is about healing generally, and healing trauma more specifically, and it focuses on the importance of connecting to innate wisdom to allow healing to happen. My guest, Greg Wieting, is an expert on these topics, having helped thousands of clients to heal over the last 2 decades. He got into this level of advanced healing by intensive research in order to heal multiple issues in himself, including healing a severe curve in his spine that medical doctors said was impossible to correct. As a result of learning to heal himself, and one of his tools is reiki, he developed a holistic methodology called PRISMA, that incorporates a diverse set of somatic and mindfulness practices that allow tailoring to the unique needs of diverse clients with diverse health issues. I was extremely impressed by Greg's holistic understanding of body, mind, and spirit... he knows at a deep level that wholeness is the answer, and it comes from knowing that body, mind, and spirit must be addressed in a natural way dealing with root issues in an appropriate sequence because issues are layered. Healing relationships (to self and to others) is part of his process. But he emphasizes this: "When we tap into our innate wisdom, healing becomes simple." He adds that developing presence and self-awareness are key to rebuilding our connection to innate wisdom. And most impressively to me, he said that "Everything he does in healing is a spiritual practice." Wieting's websites are GregWieting.com and PrismaMethod.com.Support the show

This episode, featuring my guest Christian de la Huerta, is all about using soulful power to live more consciously. Christian has more than 30 years experience facilitating others to achieve personal transformation. His new book is titled Awakening the Soul of Power: How to Live Heroically and Set Yourself Free, and we talk a lot about the content of the book and why it is an important tool in supporting the evolution of consciousness at this time. Soulful power is in complete contrast to ego power as he explains. And he points out that we're witnessing systems all around us that are no longer sustainable and how that is causing some people to want to go backward in time and support authoritarianism. But, of course, that is a disastrous movement and is based in increased unconsciousness, not in expanded consciousness which is what is truly needed. What truly comes through in this conversation is the depth of wisdom which Christian has acquired in his long career as a transformational coach. Furthermore, I found his call for people to step up as new role models of heroism to be totally inspiring, especially since his book provides solid principles and guidelines for just how to do that.

I always feel like I have so much more to learn about how spiritual energy practices can help me (and anyone) with healing and manifestation. Do you feel the same way? Well this episode explores that subject with energy medicine expert and holistic life coach Dr. Alison J. Kay, and it is a very interesting conversation. She is the creator of the Vibrational UPgrade energy medicine system and author of the #1 international best seller Vibrational Upgrade - A Conspiracy for Your Bliss: Easing Humanity's Evolutionary Transition. Here are several of her quotes from our conversation... "The world is a reflection of what is inside us." "We have to purge from ourselves, and ultimately the world, everything that is misaligned."  and "We need to shift from density to lightness - and that applies to body, mind, and spirit." She discussed the need to deal with unconscious beliefs and biases, and she believes - based on extensive experience - that chakra-focused techniques are some of the most powerful. But I know that she also uses hypno-suggestive audio recordings with her clients as well. She explained that each chakra is an energy center that is also an intersection of mind, body, and spirit. In terms of humanity's evolution, she says that Spirit is actively supporting people in breaking down the ego, which is needed for awakening and continuing evolution. Her website is at AlisonJKay.com, and she also pointed listeners to some free audios that can help individuals open and heal their chakras at AlisonJKay.com/chakra-healing-audio-series (bottom half of the page). Also, in the last five minutes of the episode, I have included a special bonus in which I read from an article by spiritual teacher Craig Hamilton about how the evolutionary impulse is working through people to bring about the evolution of consciousness.Support the show

If you want to learn some new and surprising things about what is possible with spiritual growth and awakening, then this episode is a must-listen. Derek Loudermilk is an adventurer, spiritual guide, quantum business coach, author, podcaster, and speaker and someone we can all learn a lot from. When he approached me about being a guest on Our Spiritual Life, I was uncertain about whether he was a good fit. What caught my attention, though, was his mission to "support spiritual thought leaders in the consciousness transformation taking place on Earth today". And what I learned in this conversation is that Loudermilk is someone who is living life at a remarkably engaged and inspiring level, and he helps other people do the same. It seems that he has tapped into the true (metaphysical and physical) nature of human beings and the Universe and how we can live much more powerful, creative, and fulfilling lives. We have to begin by realizing that we humans are truly an integral part of a living, intelligent, abundant, creative Universe and our purpose is to fully experience Life as Divinity unfolding. He pointed out multiple times that we have unlimited possibilities available to us and we have the constant support of the living universe, so we need to really open up to that. We are part of the One, and we need to live from that perspective. His story of his real-life experience with the "magic tree" is really eye-opening, and it hammers home how interconnected we are to the one consciousness of Life and our inter-being-ness. We are also far more powerful and creative than we know. So listen closely to this whole episode and, on the second listening, take notes. You can learn more about Loudermilk and what he does on his website at DerekLoudermilk.com.Support the show

This episode has a lot of valuable information for women, but it contains lessons for men as well. Sarah Poet - who is a podcaster and women's life success coach - is an expert on the masculine and feminine archetypes, and one of her key messages is that we all need to re-balance the masculine and feminine within us. To do that first requires some understanding of what the masculine and feminine energies within us are, and Sarah goes into explaining some of the basics on this subject. I have learned from my spiritual teachers that balancing the masculine and feminine becomes especially important for the awakening and evolution of the human species. So, for you evolutionaries out there, as well as for those of you simply wanting to awaken and live more consciously, this episode is a must-listen. During our conversation, Sarah touched on many things, including how trauma is so common among women and it requires inner work to resolve. Additionally, she explained how men can best support relationships with women by holding presence with them rather than trying to fix them. She also defines wholeness as "soul fully connected to Soul", which is a definition I love. This is an episode that you might want to listen to multiple times.

Jennifer Pilates is a super star in the pilates training world having run a number of studios for many years, and she's been a transformation coach for more than 20 years. She also has a great podcast called "Empowered Within". In this episode of Our Spiritual Life we had an engaging conversation about empowerment, intuition,  transformation, and much more - covering many valuable ideas for how you can transform your life. Although, she got heavily into physical healing through pilates after her own multi-year healing process from a serious car accident, she took a very holistic approach to include mind and spirit as well as body in her transformational coaching. In her intuitive coaching, Jennifer emphasizes the importance of love as central to life and transformation. You can find out more about her and her work at JenniferPilates.com.

In this episode, I had an enjoyable and enlightening discussion with Zach Beach. Zach has the Learn to Love podcast, is author of The Seven Lessons of Love, and is a love coach. Zach said many valuable things, including these two important quotes: "Love is the reason we are here on this planet.", and "We are here to learn to be (better) human beings." In between those 2 quotes, we talked about many things, including unconditional love and what it is, the power of intention, his book The Seven Lessons of Love, yoga, spiritual learning, the loving kindness meditation, "new relationship" energy, his new poetry book (Pebbles), and more. He read a short but delightful poem (from his new book) that teaches us in a succinct, zen-like way. Especially applicable to everyone is a simple technique that Zach taught us to help us direct our intentions in a powerful, heart-centered way. Zach's website is ZachBeach.com.

This episode is a conversation about unconditional love and human relationships with Judith Costa. She is an unconditional love coach, self-love expert, speaker, and more. We talked about love and relationships, self-awareness, love coaching, and the importance of holding love as a state of being. I think our conversation can best be summed up in 3 powerful quotes from what she had to say... "Relationships are the way we learn how to love and how to be loved.", "The only reason we are here is to love.", and "Things are difficult in life until we connect with the Source of unconditional love."

This was a fun episode and great conversation with Ora Nadrich. She is an expert on mindfulness, a mindfulness coach, founder and president of The Institute for Transformational Thinking, an international speaker, and author of 3 books (available on Amazon). She defines mindfulness as present moment awareness, which to me is a very clear way of stating it. We had a wide-ranging conversation about mindfulness, mysticism, the distinction between being a thought/mindfulness coach versus a life coach, how to bring greater awareness into your life, replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts, and especially about the power of opening up to a greater experience of life and a more magical way of being through present moment awareness. Allowing more mysticism into your life is opening the door to the spiritual and to higher consciousness. You can learn more about her and contact her at OraNadrich.com. After our conversation, I concluded with 4 minutes of my thoughts on our shared process of learning that has been going on over many episodes of Our Spiritual Life. We need to keep progressing toward the awakening and evolution of mankind as a whole, so I will continue to add insights and teachings about how we can do that.Support the show
