Awaken Heal and Thrive! Podcast

You’re a Self who has challenged parts. Maintaining this perspective, rather than falsely identifying a part as all of you, can help you deal with your troublesome parts more skillfully and harmoniously. In this 14-minute episode, you’ll learn the liberating power of knowing that a part of you – rather than all of you – is experiencing a challenge. I also announce this month’s winner of a free one-year Awakening Plus membership! Read more…

Don’t settle for just being a hot mess. In this 13-minute episode, learn how to have a productive meltdown as you do effective emotional healing.  You’ll learn how to routinely maintain embodied awakening, so it’s easier to hold when things get riled up. And you’ll learn how to delegate both your awakening and healing to your higher self – which can do these so much more quickly and easily than your ego! Read more…

A dark entity that infiltrated my body and tried to commandeer my soul. A new pair of sneakers that chafed my heels. What do they have in common? Both experiences presented me with challenges that led to breakthroughs – one major, one minor. By telling both stories in this 14-minute episode, I show how skillfully working with any kind of challenge can lead to unexpected benefits! Read more…

The way I do shamanic healing now is radically different than when I started over 10 years ago. When I started, I obsessed over the details of specific techniques and procedures. Now I just show up, call in the sacred container, and let the process run itself! In this 11-minute episode, I describe how I transitioned from ego-directed to divinely directed in my shamanic work, and in other parts of my life. And you’ll learn how you can do it too! Read more…

In this very special episode, I’m honored to interview the extraordinary human being known as Amanda Kate. She’s the author of the wonderful book “Divine. Messy. Human. A Spiritual Guide to Prioritising Internal Truth over External Influence.” She’s also a kinesiologist, mentor, archetypal life coach, mother and much more.  Highlights of this fascinating 64-minute interview with Amanda include: How insights gained from her agonizing decision to end a toxic marriage – and realizing how much abuse she had suffered – changed her self-perception from “fundamentally flawed” to “fundamentally human.” How kinesiology succeeded when western medicine failed to cure serious physical and mental challenges – inspiring her to help others heal by becoming a kinesiologist herself! Moving past religious intermediaries to experience the God within you. The positive role of anger to expose boundary violations – especially for women. Why it’s so important to complete and release our stress responses. Using emotional fluency to identify and befriend all your emotions. When to shift a challenging emotion, and when to sit with it. How the truth has 144 sides. “Wholing” vs healing. How your troublesome wounded parts are actually trying to help you. Amanda’s favorite technique to regain your calm center. (It’s so simple!) The critical importance of being “of service to,” rather than “in service to.” Why serving and loving ourselves empowers us to optimally serve and love others. Understanding self-love as a skill that can be strengthened – and how it can be gritty, hard, and firm in setting and enforcing boundaries. Why your “comfort zone” is better understood as your “known zone.” How to stay alert to the many ways your internal guidance can nudge you onto the best path, and How shadow work can help you embody the light that you really are. This conversation is loaded with life-transforming insights. Enjoy! Read more…

Matt Kahn’s quizzical response to my question pointed the way. But it’s taken me years of ever-deepening awakening to understand how free will and divine will can ultimately become the same. Or, to put it another way, how ego-based free will can gradually fade away … and never be missed! Explore this with me in this 9-minute episode! Read more…

I had forgotten how helpful San Pedro (huachuma) can be! But doing shamanic ceremony with this potent plant spirit teacher recently gave me life-changing healings and breakthroughs – in ways that only this amazing ally can deliver. My eight-hour ceremony included the healing of deep traumas from past shamanic encounters, insight into why I’ve been overeating, an extraordinary “high-tech” awakening, and much more. I also explain how San Pedro works differently for me than ayahuasca. Learn about all this and more in this 20-minute episode! Read more…

This episode is special! It’s the audio recording of an in-person experiential presentation I did on February 4, 2023 for the Connecting Consciousness chapter in Asheville, NC. It covers the most important information from my Instant Divine Assistance invocation book, plus lots of other juicy spiritual topics. It also includes me guiding you through the most important invocations from my book. These include invocations for embodied awakening, healing, calling in whatever energy you want, and flowing highest good energy to others. I edited that two-hour presentation down to 93 minutes for this podcast. The audio quality isn’t as good as usual, since I recorded the presentation on a tiny digital recorder using its built-in mic, and the lecture room was a concrete block basement. But you can understand me clearly, and I’ve made it sound as good as I can. Enjoy! Read more…
