Dr. Al Powers, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, teams up with Brittany Quagan, a psychic-medium and therapist, to create the Yale COPE Project at the Yale University School of Medicine. Its mission is to understand clinically the extraordinary experiences of people who hear, see or experience things that other people do not. We talk about "voice hearing" experiences and how surprisingly common they are, the neuroscience of perception, and strategies to control psychic perceptions.

Imagine you and your business partner build something together, it becomes successful and immensely popular -- inspiring many and impacting lives. Then, one day, you realize it is not brining you the same joy and, in fact, is stressing you out. So, you finally decide to "press pause" because you become a parent and your business partner realized that maybe the business should pause as well. No one seems to be able to understand why you would do this, but you both realize it is the right thing to do.
This takes guts, and it is part of the story of Ali Leipzig and Michelle Garside - Cofounders of Soul Camp (a premier adult sleep-away camp for wellness and transformation). They are also founder of Soul Camp Creative, which is devoted to working with conscious companies and brands that are positively impacting the planet. Ali and Michelle share their journey with Julie Chan.

Award-winning Australian filmmaker Bill Bennett on intuition and the genesis and making of the documentary “PGS – Intuition is your Personal Guidance System”…
Bill Bennett, whose numerous feature films and documentaries have won many awards, including Australia’s equivalent of the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director, and been nominated a further twelve times, and Australia’s equivalent of the Emmy for Most Outstanding Documentary, has had his work distributed through several Hollywood studios and screened at some of the world’s most prestigious film festivals. Bennett joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studios in New York (powered by Sennheiser) to discuss his documentary film “PGS – Intuition is your Personal Guidance System” exploring the nature and existence of intuition.In this episode: Why Bennett started in 1999 working on a documentary about intuition after a near fatal crash in New Orleans at an intersection – he was saved because of hearing a voice telling him to slow down, intuition Deciding to make a documentary, how it took 18 years Why it mattered that Bennett came from skeptical and journalistic backgrounds How he was successful at getting movies made, but couldn’t get the film made the way he made previous films, by sheer force of will When Bennett decided he needed to decide in the morning, then had a dream that told him about making the film however he can in a non traditional way, and just to do it and begin it How he woke up at 4:44 am after that dream, and found meaning in that time in being surrounded by angels and spirit guides Than, flying to India, giving himself over entirely to guidance and intuition How he knew no one in India who could help him, and had nothing lined up despite knowing movie people in India Having a clear recollection from previous trips of a billboard about an institute, asked to come and interview the director about intuition – then when he found out there never was billboard Meeting a living saint, and was directed from person to person with top experts in intuition from all over the world Being in awe of powers that worked through him to make the film Intuition exists, how we all have it, the purpose it has to keep us on our life path How intuition can be regarded as a legitimate functioning system in the body, but works in the energetic realm Science hasn’t figured out a way to empirically prove it, so it is largely ignored by Western science Germs were only discovered 150 years ago, so what else does science not know? The rational mind wants to keep us in what’s real because that’s safe, ego is about survival Intuition goes into the unknown People accept fear as a part of their lives and don’t even question it From fear to intuition How Bennett got to the point of being largely devoid of fear Having good karma and what you do with that second chance, accepting fulfilling your function/purpose, or death is to impact on someone else Being his purpose to make the film and make people aware of the journey he’s been on, not to prosthelytize Survival intuition to sense threat or menace Cognitive intuition based on expert and even forgotten knowledge, intellect and training based Mystical or divine intuition, from the soul Stopping to allow yourself to listen to the intuitive impulses that come to you, pay attention Healing relationship with sister Why Bennett doesn’t feel disappointment anymore People are aspects of the divine, like us The ways the film has impacted others The toughest screening was the one at which his family saw the film, as he doesn’t think they believe he’s changed What he learned from James Van Praagh saying he’s nervous First thought, best thought A life changing moment for Julie that becomes an inspiration and awakening

Living according to one’s desires, no matter the circumstances or what society tells us is possible…
How do you want to experience your life? That’s not only a fantastic question for anyone, it’s the exact question that is a foundation for healing done by Michelle Keinan, somatic healer and the co-founder of City Wellness Collective, a community and center for healers in New York City, and the founder of Radically Selfish.
Keinan shares why we are personally responsible for the possibilities in our own lives, responsible for how we feel, how we show up for the lives we create, how you can ask yourself “how do I want to feel”, you’ll learn how to channel anger into creation, and Keinan reveals what people who teach manifesting your ideal life, get wrong.
Plus, you’ll discover what Keinan has in common with the great ark builder, Noah. Keinan joins guest host Jessica Brodkin [Episode 11] in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.In this episode: Keinan discusses personal transformation, becoming a magnet for everything you want in your life, and creating Radically Selfish How as a somatic healer Keinan become a community healer, and the role feeling deep love and connection to people has played How most people are used to using their minds/verbal to navigate problems, finding solutions and hearing of spirit energy and shamans and sources of energy and tools Somatic healing is trusting in intelligence of body, and one does not have to be a believer or use the mind for it to work An example of how animals vibrate when in fear or when cold, and humans don’t allow our bodies to do what we are naturally able to do, automatically unconsciously limiting responsibilities due to lessons or trauma from the past Being a futurist How Keinan watching her immigrant parents come to the USA and build lives from nothing inspired her to be a creator, and how it is our personal responsibility to find what puts us in our “zone of genius” Power being fueled by rebellion and anger, like many creators, being alchemists, and transforming pain into magic Anger as a strong fuel, and an act of moving forward and processing something that needs to change, harnessing that energy that intelligence is saying we need to do, aligning with inner knowledge to go after what we want and being more free, which means the possibilities are endless Rebellion, pleasure, creation as three pillars of Keinan The goal of pleasure and joy in life, how Keinan’s guiding energy growing up was survival because of immigrant parents from Communist Russia Growing things from pleasure with hints of Buddhism, and a way to control the ego while seeing life through a spiritual lens We think that things are happening to us, but we can tap into desire, and take actions that will bring in healing and changes So many different pieces that can put us back together Why manifestations might not work in managing one’s future, releasing attachment to outcome, and the paradox of deeply desiring something while not being attached to outcome Taking magic out there and applying it to realities of the real world “Being the dance” in order to play the game Social media portraying perfect happy moments while our lives are not glamorous as that, how pain drives us, looking at past pain and being driven by it while realizing that part of one’s life is over Honoring painful moments and criticism because they led to where things are today How the theme from Keinan’s childhood and core wound is not being OK as she is, how being forced into a box has made that force bigger, telling everyone she is OK as she is A paradigm of “Zero Sum”, a finite amount of good, and how that might come from immigrants from a poor culture as the source The central message of radical selfishness (also her podcast), and how it is about honoring oneself to be everything they are capable of being

How Manavi was feeling like she was dropped off on wrong planet since birth, feeling displaced, rigidity around her, the many stories she was being told that didn’t feel right, like amnesia Our endless dramas and polarities with people operating in ego-driven realities, and for Manavi it felt like so far from truth Having a connection that superseded Manavi’s age, how wisdom is not defined by age but by presence and awareness, and how it didn’t align well with the Greek culture and why she withdrew inward Becoming a hair and makeup person in TV, and how one is in close proximity with talent in their energetic sphere, and how getting hair and makeup can make you feel loved How Manavi needed to segue out because the TV setting wasn’t appropriate to deliver the full message, and she started getting universal push to start Light YourWay, and be in a setting people can open up more The fusion of clairaudience, clairsentience, Reiki, being used as medium to bringing higher consciousness through an energetic conduit, streaming higher frequencies to assist someone, with self development, taking essence of a higher self and bridging with development where someone doesn’t just have to switch suddenly between their other self and job, merging into the higher self completely, higher self development, in a tangible and practical manner Higher self vs. ego, how the higher self doesn’t mean better or superior, but means a higher voltage, different frequency, and the fastest way to that level, and the heart is the portal to the sun Feelings are not emotions, emotions are connected with ego and mind, feelings are organic and truth in your heart Waiting for people to give us permission to go there, or do we need validation from external sources or being willing to not be held back by findings or research Reiki, theta energetics, emotional freedom technique How consciousness is upgrading to a fifth dimensional state Indigos are bringing forward higher levels of frequency, different levels of consciousness merging into our world to accelerate human evolution How the universe is gradual and sophisticated, effecting change smoothly and slowly, making it difficult to see it is changing all around us Star seeds, Indigos, beings of light Looking at how more children are being born this way, one in five, and more and more since 2012, more encodings of consciousness, with it all accelerating A shortcut, and how bacteria in the gut and brains connects with receptivity to things when you don’t have good microbes in the gut, the ability to strengthen gut biotics by drinking raw milk, eating yogurts and more — resulting in dispelling lower levels, symptomatologies, not letting anyone derail you because of the support from the universe The end of the world vs. the end of an old consciousness Waking up consciousness in being human How ultimately it is up to you, your choices, and what you think is possible

Attention to both the big things and small details, searching for a spiritual awakening, and connecting authentically with people…

Being the change, and how a better world begins with you…
Two phrases one doesn’t usually hear: teaching at Yale and Harvard, and being a psychic. Five years ago Naomi Pabst walked away from academia to pursue the louder calling of her soul — teaching others on the art of life and love. She reveals how she faces judgment from peers, and about race, gender, human suffering, how past life regression can help you understand all of this, and how discovering her two year old daughter was psychic set her on a new and meaningful journey.
Naomi Pabst, PhD is a transformational teacher, a writer, healer, psychic, and strategist for change agents and messengers enacting various forms of societal transformation. She joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studio powered by Sennheiser.
In this episode: How Pabst’s spiritual awakening began when her daughter was 2 years old How being a psychic was received when she was a professor at Yale Mastering the art of tuning out what other people think How we are powerful beings and set terms for we’re experiencing Discovering her daughter had psychic gifts at two years old Moving in the direction of helping people Applying what she learned at Yale and Harvard into the practice she has today Helping people step into their purpose, step into love lives, hone intuition to improve quality of life Why a better world begins with a better you, and our own pain causes other people pain How her work in black studies and women’s studies relates to her work now How we all go through stripping away process when transforming The power of past-life regressions and Chan’s own personal past life as a sailor How the surprise of research into psychic phenomena amplified Pabst’s own activations How mediating daily and good self care can amplify tuition, but we override our intuition all the time, and how switching the equation can matter Adding a dimension to your life and deepen your intimacy with life itself How science is not a fixed entity and is continually proving magic And the desire to experiment with the fact of oneness of all of us, and the diversity

Being present and conscious of yourself and the world around you…
Rachael Nickel, yoga instructor, joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.Finding yoga and Reiki, a cellular biologist makes and impression, and when Nickel’s head explodes
Nickel discusses how she met Chan at gentle yoga session in Queens, NY, growing up without spirituality, the time she says Jesus Christ came to her, wanting to go into a Catholic church as a result, having a spiritual longing, a difficult time as a teen, being self destructive in the 1980s, and then finding yoga. Then meeting a predator yoga teacher, learning Reiki, assisting people during the dying process, learning from a nun who was an amazing healer, then Nickel had children and stopped healing, feeling as if perhaps she was not a legitimate healer. She recalls hearing from a cellular biologist who had a near death experience and went to the other side and heals at a cellular level, came home, cried, and stalked the healer—who then invited Nickel to train for a week—which has turned into three summers of training. What it is like when Nickel’s “head explodes”, hearing a rabbi talk about four ways of praying — one of which was a feeling of Wow.Awesome Wonder, the concept of Wow, and reprogramming your mind
The space of Awesome Wonder, the incredible ways our bodies can move, telling your body you love it, the need to feel the joy and “wowness” of our own experience, we cannot heal as humans. Then hurting her back with yoga postures, resulting in the apparent inability to do yoga any more, then finding new ways to move her body. And the importance of remembering what we really are, the way out of the nightmares we live in, and we are all love embodied. The way animals are so present and joyful, “Wow” as a concept, and falling love with everything by saying you’re in love with everything. Reprogramming your mind by creating a mantra with new information.System confinement, dogmas, and creating an awakening
Abuses of power, and how it’s not all rainbows and unicorns. Why Nickel doesn’t want to be confined by any system, how it is not always about love, acceptance and equality, and it can be human nature. Why things shouldn’t be stagnant—as in “here’s how you’re supposed to do things”. Following one dogma or another, how traditions can be honored and allowing foundations, but different people need different systems. Plus, how it is in the cells that healing takes place, and creating an awakening.

She discusses coming to Brooklyn to start her program, and how twelve powers were one part of whole program. A client said she should write a book, and other people did too, so she wrote the book, self published and gave them away, but only scratched the surface. Now, editors have said she has at least six books in her. She decided and negotiated that the book needed to launch on 12/12. Being a certified behavioral analyst, the science behind it, and what’s going on in brain.

Learning to trust yourself in the entrepreneurial journey…
Philip Kasumu of Lyle (an app which uses artificial intelligence to help men lose weight and empowers them to be fit and healthy) joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studios (powered by Sennheiser) to talk trusting your gut and the challenging path of a tech entrepreneur, and Chan offers Kasumu an intuitive reading.Starting Lyle, getting healthy, and a father’s inspiration
Kasumu discusses the moment he decided what he wanted to do, how he wasn’t crazy about his consulting job and started reading articles, building a tech news product, which then started getting some activity, but users kept coming back to read articles on nutrition as many as five times a day. How Kasumu realized maybe there is something in that. He reached out to readers to find out their biggest pain point, learned that people wanted to be told what to do, so came up with another app to help read nutrition labels which had challenges. How he discovered that successful entrepreneurs always did something unconventional, and made list of those entrepreneurs then emailed all of them. He told them he had two failed startups in London and asked if he could shadow them for free. Kasumu found that nobody talks about body shaming for men, he wrote a article while at Greatest which got a lot of traction, so he decided to start an app to help men be healthier. Lyle is an AI powered weight loss app for men, which interacts with you like a dietician would. The focus is more on nutritional value than managing calories, with a high protein-based diet based on lifestyle. Getting ingredients, understanding nutrition better and motivating men to live a healthier life; being conscious of what you’re consuming and connecting to a creative mindset—about the way people should live. Plus, the significant influence of his morbidly obese father.An intuitive reading, navigating by knowing, and an octopus
Chan offers Kasumu and intuitive reading which brings images and metaphors of the use of limbs like an octopus that help map his environment, the ability to sense things that are external to his own body, and how he must trust that he is sensing these things. Also, the ability to sense detail, which allows him to navigate world with knowledge and knowing. He shares how he does have a strength in reading rooms and people, is a good networker and knows how to approach certain situations. Trusting your gut feeling, constantly moving obstacles out of the way, and how his business might have changed if he had trusted himself. Plus, the courage it all takes.Future vision, people of color in tech, and a year in India
Where metaphor can take Kasumu in 5-10 years, how he believes Lyle will be enormous and helping million of guys become the best version of themselves. The deep issues men face that people aren’t talking about, and how this platform can be part of the solution and beyond weight loss with the effects beyond the individual. Being a person of color as a founder in the tech industry, and whom he’d like to have a conversation with. Also, why Harvard, Y Combinator, and living in India for a year would be important experiences.

Finding hope and possibility in the Philosophy of Maybe…
Allison Carmen, author of “The Gift of Maybe” and a business and life coach joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.A stressed-out attorney, losing control of one’s mind, and a fable that changed everything
Carmen discusses her background as a stressed out attorney addicted to uncertainty, how a fable led her to the philosophy of maybe, getting away from the need for certainty, releasing one to greater happiness and fulfillment. Being always worried that things won’t work out, how she “wrote big story” she was going to become a lawyer and worked so long and when she reached that point, there was uncertainty again. How she couldn’t control her mind, couldn’t sleep, started to get sick, tried changing life on the outside and it didn’t work, then one day heard fable and learned that change doesn’t mean doom.Moving to the open place of maybe, the danger of staying positive, and handling fear
How she went to the open place of maybe, many possibilities, freedom, liberation. How it keeps you open, hopeful, and how people are fearful. How does maybe relate to surrender? The danger of staying positive, having to be OK with the unknown. Steps toward hope include writing one’s biggest fear down, and all the problems that can stem from that, whether we know 100% the bad things will happen. But one realizes it won’t definitely happen, you can write maybe statements down. Maybe one will be OK no matter what. How maybe connects to action, fear leads to doing nothing. Maybe is the step before the action, handles the fear. And giving people hope, so they take action.Having hope, retraining the mind, and using maybe in business
Carmen had no plan after graduation, as she was determined to be in her next school or nothing, she was so fixated on something happening. We still have hope if we have a philosophy of maybe. If overwhelmed by fear and negativity people say “what can I do”, but as a maybe thinker, “if I don’t know the answer, what happens next, I can do anything”. The need to retrain minds, that all things are possible. How adults are the ones who lock children down into the “you need to know” mindset, despite coming from love and thinking about keeping them safe with knowledge. Using the maybe mindset in a business mindset, an example of how the idea of maybe gave a client hope and changed his life, how with a maybe mindset one can be adaptable and see what is going on in surroundings, see other ideas, and the quality of life changes if mindset changes. Being more present, and seeing ideas and possibilities more if you are in the moment.

Understanding yourself and the way the human system actually works with GP Walsh…
GP Walsh, Founder of Master HEART Institute, speaker, author, leader, spiritual teacher, meditation master, EFT expert and composer, joins Julie Chan at the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.A gloomy cloud, one fateful night on a bridge, and hearing a voice
Walsh discusses his tough childhood with a missing father and mentally ill mother, being under a gloomy cloud, joining a rock band, became darker and more cynical, and how 45 years ago at 19 his closest friend ended their relationship. How Walsh was a horrible person, played rock and “got wasted”, and was going nowhere. One night with hashish that was filled with terror when he thought he was going to die and was happy about it, standing on a bridge looking down at polluted river, and hearing a voice saying “Look closer” and “all the light”.The myth of getting rid of the negative, showing the brain the war is over, and the power of the ego
The disconnect between our life and wanting to contribute, the things that get in the way of it, trying to get rid of all that stuff and getting rid of the negative. Everything has a purpose, everything is generated from the nervous system, how the natural expression of who you are runs into something in the environment that says that’s not OK, and how most self help is that there is something wrong with you and you need to be fixed—instead Walsh does the opposite. There’s nothing wrong with you, show the brain that the war is over, a transformation is quickly made, the independent power of the ego that is manufactured by the mind. And who you are vs. a momentary reality.The future, transformation, and an incoming mass shift
The future of holistic wellness, how the nervous system’s whole purpose is to stay safe and stay whole. The reality of transformation, how we’re waking up the reality of who we are. And what science should show for another mass shift, and how the influence of love and acceptance will be demonstrated to be physiological.

Angie Byun, Head of International – Innovation Collection at Conde Nast, joins Julie Chan for a conversation on being an Asian woman at a high level in a competitive field, using mindset to maximize success, the power of giving to others, definitions of spirituality, victory poses, and personality tests, along with an intuitive reading. Recorded in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.Climbing the ladder, a thick skin and body language, and a museum is church
Byun discusses her background and what brought her business skills at a high level, her work at Jones Apparel Group, then moving to Conde Nast as a lawyer, becoming involved more, stretching herself, and 10 years later overseeing international business development for companies like Golf Digest, and the Conde Nast innovation collection (mostly men’s titles). She talks about being a woman and being Asian in this particular field, the need to develop a thick skin, how communication including body language is key, why you should not let other people peel the onion, what defines a spiritual feeling for her, and why going to a museum is like going to church.Victory poses, being an expert, and the power of giving
She touches on victory poses, teaching at Fordham Law School, providing value as an in-demand speaker, how young people ask about career advice, why it is crucial to become an expert in something, and why how you present yourself, a firm handshake and eye contact are all crucial to success. Being savvy and sophisticated, how it is all about follow up, why giving is how you build true meaningful relationships, and why you benefit more when you give more.An intuitive reading, constancy, and personality tests
Chan offers an intuitive reading with clouds, serenity, constancy, joy, awe, and how one’s own perspective makes it appear you are not moving when you are. Getting lost in the moment of constancy. Being enthralled in the play of internal and external, and being distracted from awe, discovery and wonder. Plus, personality tests such as Meyers Briggs, extroverts vs. introverts, intuitive vs. sensing, and more.

Making a mark in the world with leadership, dignity, purpose, service, team, social responsibility, awareness, connection, excellence, making a difference together…
Michelle Jeovanny Lopez, CEO of Dignity Universal and Dignity University and Certified Transformational Trainer, Life Coach, Program Designer and film writer, visionary and innovator, joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.Discovering spirituality and identity, emulating parental patterns, discovering purpose
Jeovanny Lopez reveals her spiritual experience growing up, speaking to extraterrestrials, realizing there’s more to the world, everyone is chosen but not everyone chooses, being in business of awakening herself, how we are all an extension of each other, how the spiritual foundation is everything, praying for death at a young age, hearing a voice that she’s not alone and hearing that voice again, and having out of body experience. Starting to run away as a girl, running away to NYC at age 17 with only a fanny pack, having a sense of a presence that she wasn’t alone, getting into college and telling no one of her experiences, and how spirituality took a back seat in college. She didn’t want to graduate so she did triple major, got a job in stock exchange but was miserable, then lost job and began to feel again a presence and sense of purpose.Gifts vs. magic, three companies, and focusing on the good
She discusses how prayer sets in motion a turn of events, how we resist them but they are meant to happen. What are gifts, what is magic, reverse engineering success and visiting patterns that kept them in cycle. How Jeovanny Lopez founded three companies: Dignity University (empowering youth to thrive, use their voices, see themselves as the solution), Acid Love (raising funds to support women victims of acid attacks) and a coaching practice, to incubate space to create a year from inside out. How a mentor helped Jeovanny Lopez narrow down what angered her around the world is seeing people not living to their potential, since she has intuition on people’s potential. How we tend to focus on the bad, because of the way our brains are wired. The importance to focus more on good things.Manufacturing meaning, intention and free will, and The God Particle
How experiences as woman and Latina shaped her, how acknowledging boundaries and values create a space where we can have mistakes and learn from them, realizing we are adding meaning to situations and then allow that meaning to run our day, then all these illusions and stories have won our day. The value of seeing people anew every day, approaching people with curiosity and interest instead of them showing up with who you say you are, when we become victims to circumstances, we forfeit power to transform them. The importance of intention, free will, how whatever you agree is true, principles will show in your reality, starting the day out with right intent, surrendering to the day, being the vessel and a channel. Plus, The God Particle.

Fighting sensitivity-based anxiety and depression with yoga and meditation…
Alexandra Macias, cofounder of The C3 Method (a three-step process that promotes making a choice, taking a chance, and experiencing a lifestyle change to reduce stress and increase morale — using a conscience approach and providing a customized wellness program in the workplace and a mindfulness curriculum to students K-12) joins Julie Chan for a conversation on yoga, meditation, healing, and anxiety and depression caused by high sensitivity and intuition. Recorded at the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser. (Macias’ profile)A troubled childhood, drawn to the spiritual world, and a prayer and a promise
Macias discusses why yoga is important in terms of healing from depression and anxiety and feeling ostracized, reconnecting with body, how she medicated from age 12, healing with anxiety and depression but depending on pill to get by every day, being sensitive and highly intuitive since she was very young, having a good upbringing and going to Catholic school, having gut feelings and then that thing would happen, parents got divorces at 9 years old, high levels of anxiety, having a premonition a week prior to her parents’ splitting up, being ten years old when she started getting asthma and not being able to breathe, a first major panic attack that was terrifying, how anxiety is like an addiction, how she became claustrophobic and with OCD tendencies, wanting to deny it, assuming people think she’s crazy, and then getting suicidal thoughts and trying to commit suicide, and being scared every day. Her difficult journey, feeling drawn to the spiritual world even at four years old and feeling weird, wondering whether she was causing own conflicts, and relapsing in depression when a friend died. Moving from LA, she could have tried to put this behind her no one has to know, and praying to God to get her through this, promising she’d dedicate her life helping people get through things like this.The C3 Method, higher productivity and lower costs, and engagement
Starting The C3 Method because of panic attacks, how she was put on stress leave twice, why companies take the C3 Method on and evaluating ROI, evaluating how it is helping a company in productivity and saving money on health care costs, how healthy and happier is more productive with less stress leave, and more engaged and healthier employees. How the biggest decisions are how it saves money for companies and how easy it is. The C3 Method brings everything into the office, and customizes the service and experience. Dealing with people chained to desks, so engagement is key, along with switching up the modalities.What young people need to learn, starting school programs, and voicing feelings
As a society we have failed to teach young people self-care and self-love over work ethic, requiring a mind shift to prioritize this. Employers are more commonly noticing mental health issues, and the importance of creating programs for young people, giving them a moment to be themselves. Don’t have resources or proper attention. And how programs in schools started with a free one from The C3 Method. Macias shares a wish list to support the program, a wish to be a part of every school’s program, and a chance for kids to be able to voice how they feel.

Vedic Meditation…
Rick Little, Organizational Consultant & Meditation Teacher, Co-Founder of The Spring, and former Vice President, Administration & Strategic Projects for Friends of the High Line, joins Julie Chan for a discussion Vedic Meditation, spirituality, and being complete. Recorded at the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.Discovering the practice, Vedic Meditation in the workplace, and spiritual vs. non-spiritual practice
Little discusses how he was first introduced to the practice of Vedic Meditation by former boss Robert Hammond, a caution against participating in mediation without proper instruction, and the experience of having a boss speaking with employees about meditation and modalities. Meditation as a spiritual practice and as not being one, how it aligns with what employers want employees to be, and meditation was one way, not presented to staff as a spiritual practice, and why spiritual aspects are not what meditation teachers usually lead with.Origins, scanning for the most attractive things, and a fourth state
How Vedic Meditation comes from The Vedas in India (which also produced yoga), which is 5-10,000 years old. How to live one’s life in alignment with nature, mantras, how the mind is scanning for things it finds attractive and moving towards it, following it down as the mantra becomes fainter, leaving the mind in a place where it isn’t thinking conscious thoughts. Transcendental Meditation vs. Vedic Meditation, and meditation as a fourth state if consciousness, or wakeful hypometobolic state, and meditation on the subway.Becoming complete, the right instruction, and The Spring
How meditation is not something that can only happen under a specific set of circumstances, learning to meditate with someone close to you, and why meditating gets us in touch with the part of us that makes us see that we are complete. Instruction in meditation should be seen as important just like any other new skill in life, and why it is best learned on an individual basis. And, how Little is collaborating with several other mediation instructors to open a new New York City studio called The Spring.

Schultz reveals how she fell into a teaching job, why this was a field she is passionate about, how she is working on memoir “Memoir a Twinkie”, went to South Korea, and wrote first person piece for NBC news to explore her adoption. Meeting the OBGYN who delivered her, and growing up in Long Island and then visiting the “motherland”. How she knew she was different, decapitating white Barbies, and customizing her American Girl dolls because none of them looked like her. How Schultz experienced racism as a child and feared going to school, beginning her writing by sharing experiences and not being in it by herself, sharing her victim mentality and learning it is not personal, and being ready for, and priming herself for, building inner strength.Abandonment issues, inner child work, and the value of getting help
Schultz shares her efforts trying to understand why she was given up for adoption, being careful with the language she uses, and trying to forgive her birth parents. Dealing with abandonment issues all of her life, her “inner child work”, facing challenges trying to connect with her birth parents, hiring a private detective, and how it is OK to have two sets of parents. The importance of recognizing the value of getting help with a life coach, therapist, meditation, faith, and more, and how a little goes a long way – and how what’s inside (abandonment, rejection, abuse, etc.) affects all areas of your life.An intuitive reading, duality, and helping others
Acknowledging something is an issue and getting help with that. And Chan shares an intuitive reading about joy and lightness of pineapples, the how the bright yellow color, sweetness, and sudden tartness are in a dance. Recurring patterns, the duality of inside and outside, recognizing the whole, trying to hide the uniqueness to fit in, and appreciating the dualities that are existing as friends. The beauty of going through the journey, a love to educate and inspire, and helping others to make sense of their adoption narrative.

Coach, consultant, healer, energy healer, entrepreneur in various industries, and podcast host Sam Liebowitz (The Conscious Consultant) discusses taking a different approach, from a more energetic perspective, patterns, and underlying energy. He joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.Spoon bending, the journey to becoming a conscious consultant, and being served by the Universe
Liebowitz talks about his online radio show (podcast), training for shamanic work, and helping people integrate experiences. Spoon bending, his scientific way of looking at life, being open and questioning, a background in tech, aerospace, real estate, and buying an acupuncture business, discovering the law of attraction as a spiritual practice, how all things are an excuse to feel good and raise your vibration, and how getting things doesn’t matter as much as the change in energy while pursuing them — not about the material stuff, but it is about shifting energy, living consciously and that the Universe is here to serve us, not fight against us.Living a happy journey, shifting energy, and changing our mindset
Living more aware, awake and alive, and living a happy journey. A spoon bending workshop, evidence of a physical transformation before your eyes and physical experience of what it means to shift energy, and how our mindset needs shifting from Newtonian physics. The relational field with all people at the spoon bending workshop, and shifting energy in life, and presence.Silence, presence, and those 2 Billion bits of information
How cultivating presence with yourself allows you to be more present with others, starting to feel things before a person says it, and how being open to information allows us to register more. Liebowoitz says that our brains take in 2 Billion bits of information/sec, but our conscious mind only registers 2,000 of them, so we’re not aware of so much information in relativity. Most judgment is self-judgment, people are a mirror for us, and in a perfect universe, there are no accidents.

Social missions and business success…
Steve Little, founder of Zero Limits Ventures and an entrepreneur specializing in accelerating valuation growth and creating highly successful exits who runs a boutique investment banking firm (profile), joins Julie Chan for a discussion of the meaning of real success, why businesses need to be bigger than their businesses, the pathway of love and contribution, and Hawaiian clearing technique. Plus, an intuitive reading hits home. Recorded at the MouthMedia Network studios in New York City, powered by Sennheiser.A superpower, Ho’oponopono, and the Amazon
Little discusses his personal superpower, the ability to quickly understand the dynamics and potential of a business, as there are many intricate aspects of building a successful business which are often ignored. He recalls being so unhappy and crying on the way to work every day despite tremendous business success, while having no way to move in his own life, despite the superpower and despite a luxurious life. He talks how he decided to quit in order to survive and to be happy, with no new plan in place, and how this put him on a spiritual journey. He reviews self-actualization, self-realization, and how he studied so many things and connected with Dr. Hew Len, teacher of the Hawaiian technique Ho’oponopono, clearing technique based on entire experience is based on beliefs, which determine how you experience life. How mentioned how you have multiple ways of reacting, knowing everyone is expressing the highest level of love of available to them. How this keeps him balanced throughout the day, getting past things that are disruptive, and being on a pathway of love and contribution. How things become visible and revealed, via techniques to get more clarity. Little reveals how he studied with an indigenous tribe in the Amazon, learning a sense of openness and as part of his discovery of techniques around the world. He relates how he was led to creating The Perfect Biz Finder Program accessed by more than 200,000 people, and how your business has to be about something bigger than your business.
Social missions in business, a vision of contribution, and influencing family
A unique approach looking for companies with a social mission, and imparting spiritual principles to Little’s children, knowing what you want to do with a business success, and seeing that as success. Being focused on developing that vision of contribution in the network of human passions, how there can be a significant correlation between valuation and mission orientation, and the mistake of a social mission when specific as a marketing strategy to drive business. And how exposure to Little’s coaching of executives of socially conscious firms led his daughters to grow up with those sensibilities and view of the world including empathy and spiritual tendencies.A waterfall, a journey with a Shaman, and awareness
An intuitive reading from Chan bring images of standing at the base of a waterfall with a powerful force, being unscathed despite the danger and excitement being so close, testing boundaries, understanding what it means to stand safely, and deciding between peace or access to the world. Finding the location of respite, an experience with the Shaman in the Amazon, and Little going on a journey and finding his space spot — and being in that space. A duality between peacefulness and raging power, an ill-advised fearlessness, and keeping going, not being dissuaded. Plus, how blending spiritual principals as part of business becomes a multiplying catalyst, and the impact of awareness.

Psychic readings and channeling texts…
Paul Selig, psychic and award-winning author of channeled texts from Tarcher/Penguin (profile), Paul Selig offers channeled workshops internationally and serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, joins Julie Chan for a conversation about his work as a psychic and author, the physical toll of the job, and his journey from spiritual awakening to the present. Selig holds a Master’s degree from Yale University and serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute. Also a noted playwright and educator, he served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years. He directed the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Goddard College for many years, and he now serves on the college’s Board of Trustees. Recorded at MouthMedia Network studios, powered by Sennheiser.Beginning clairaudience, being like a radio, and taking care of oneself
Selig describes how he started his journey in 1987 a year out of a Masters program at Yale, while working on an opera. How Gideons leave books in a drawer and he reached for a book, beginning a journey out of necessity, hearing a voice telling him to “get his act together”, and his beginning of a clairaudience. How Selig was an open conduit, and how he operated like a radio when he channels he flips the station a bit then has access to other info. When in 2009, after working with a group in his apartment, he began recording and transcribing what the guides delivered as books, with six so far, and how the books are transcripts of sessions and require virtually no editing. Taking care of oneself, and balance. The demands of travel and work, how he is missing the order, schedule, and community and finding the audience more transient. How his current pace and lifestyle is not sustainable, the guides are not tired when he’s tired, how he takes on the physical abilities and issues of those he channels, and how most have a lack of awareness of divinity in so many things, despite that all is holy. His hope is that if teaching continues it will result in a realization for all that can move the process forward.
Revealing as a psychic, transient vs. truth, and the physical phenomena
What it’s like to be in the field, revealing himself as a psychic, and how there was not as much pushback as he expected. How Chan was inspired by his story and being a psychic is not sexy—they are simply scribes. Being invited to channel at a research symposium of scholars and experts, and how that resulted in his book being published. Selig is not a good new-ager, how there are people showing up, transient vs. truth, and who his guides are. For Chan, channeling feels like vibrations, how channeling results in physical phenomena, how it is tangible and why that helps, and the reality that it is there to be felt.Working interdimensionally, the need for dialogue and research, and the limitations of language
How the point of the teaching to realize what operates in a higher way, how he thoughts when stepping into other people that he was traveling, but really he was working interdimensionally, how the coordinate is a way to channel in, how health is changed by the connection to mind body and spirit, and health care is a band aid. A hypothesis of the need for a dialogue about energy and how it affects the mind and body having informed people who understand how the psychic world works, what can be researched, that more research can move things somewhere meaningful, and how there is no need to hide. We rely on a limited language we have inherited. The limitations of language, because when something unknown appears, we ask it its name instead of trying to name it from what we know. There may be another spectrum for us to access. We want everything to match what we have known historically. The tendency to commercialize things, and how humanity itself is on the verge of a leap. How Selig believes that telepathy will be more common in future generations. And what’s next.

Andrew Roth, Film and Television actor and producer (website) joins host Julie Chan to talk abuse, addiction, acting, empathy, spirituality, being accountable, method acting, and the challenge of his upcoming memoirs. Chan provides an impactful intuitive reading. Recorded at the MouthMedia Network Studios powered by Sennheiser.An empath, a verifiable self truth, and purity in meditation
Roth covers his career journey, how theater found him, how believing himself as an empath was a problem and led him to addiction, having present “moment to moment awareness”, discovering empathy in the first time he was hit from father, picking up more on strangers and people he senses are aggressive/dangerous, the role of martial arts for him, and protecting those he loves. The need to be careful in giving advice, and how we all need our own verifiable truth. Being four years sober, real and pure meditation, his sense of spirituality, holding oneself accountability for the words one uses, and being truly alone vs. being universally connected.
Ego vs. higher self, method acting, and support systems in entertainment
Receiving feedback and information from the universe and a higher power, and being willing to discern between the ego and higher self and to feel connected. Acting and spirituality, separating oneself so one won’t feel those emotions, and the danger of not knowing yourself that well. Comparisons in dangers of method acting to Dustin Hoffman and Jared Leto and why method acting isn’t for everyone, how support systems in entertainment work only when help is wanted, how Roth’s parents never gave up, and tools and techniques keep him still and pull him back into himself.An intuitive reading, a memoir, and nobody wants to see a tough guy
Chan delivers an intuitive reading about a thunderbolt that is true and perfectly ok, having a sense of being out of control, and a sight and experience to behold. A crack in a tree to be remembered and traced, measured tracing as a reminder, sudden and with aftermath. Reflecting on what has been sudden and left a mark, and knowing there is no real damage despite an impression, and being something to be remembered by. A memoir to perform, raw and about abuse, addiction, and sadness. The need for men to talk about things like this, the need for Roth to recognize the destination and what he’s doing with the information, and the ability to be OK. Nobody wants to see a tough guy, and the importance of vulnerability. Changing perception, standing with your mark showing, and allowing people to engage in the way they want. And a new tree-and-roots inspired imagery for the branding for Roth’s memoirs. Plus, Roth shares an experience with the Akashic records in a flotation tank.

Listening to the stories of others…
Helena Dea Bala, professional listener, former lawyer, and Storyteller and Listener at Craigslist Confessional, joins Julie Chan for a discussion about the privilege, impact and price of listening to others so they can share their stories. Chan also shared an intuitive reading (profile). Recorded at the MouthMedia Network Studios in New York, powered by Sennheiser.From Albania to Slavania, peace and strength, and a homeless man inspires
Bala shares her upbringing, moving from Albania to Slavania with a lot of moving around and instability, working as a lawyer and lobbyist in DC, and listening to people tell stories they never told anyone else, hoping to provide everyone the idea that whatever they are going through there are others who have as well. The peace and strength in sharing that story, not following a linear path, following a gut feeling instead. How the work is scary but fulfilling and a growth experience. How Bala wanted work that felt more like flow than work. And the way a homeless person named Joe reminded her of how people want to ignore difficult situations, and inspired her to listen to other people to help her figure out her path.
The Craigslist ad, the floppy gray hat, and the one exception
How Bala started using a Craiglist ad to find new people to share their stories, with the invite that she would listen to anything they wanted to get off their chests, with the condition that it must be their story. The floppy felt gray she wore to be identified, why people answer the ads, something that goes along with experience of being an anonymous face in a mass of anonymity desensitizes people, telling a story helps people get away from the now of their lives. People reach out to break out of fear and isolation which helps to know there are other people out there who may also be going through the same thing. People don’t want to see the person they confess to again. And, the one exception.An intuitive reading, ocean waves, and the knowing it will happen
Chan offers an intuitive reading of Bal, including serenity, waves crashing in, a moment in time, a memory, peace and longing. Being, watching, observing, staring at the waves that will always reach her feet. Inevitability, reflecting on rhythm. The sense of inevitable reaching and connection. Finding the meaning of home, the feeling of the need to do more, the need to recover, the need to give the people who tell her stories the feeling of home. How Bala is at a tipping point right now, which leads to despair. She heard in the reading that that it will happen for her, with patience. The lack of regularity to her days, the need to strive for rhythm, structure. Being a vessel for people to pour their hearts into.

Social justice, yoga and mindfulness…
Leslie Booker (profile) (a.k.a. Booker), who brings her heart, wisdom, and compassion to the intersection of social justice, yoga, and mindfulness, joins Julie Chan in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.An inclination to help, working with vulnerable populations, and three poisons
Booker discusses mapping that went back to Ronald Reagan, seeing people experiencing homelessness, and how her heart is inclined toward needs for help. How sense of groundedness and peace in yoga and meditation fits into helping with issues. How meditation helps bring things up and to our truth and gives us tools to work with. Work with vulnerable populations, making note of when body comes to rest, creating boundaries to take care of ourselves, working with staff now, training others to do what she was doing, activism because of crazy world, and how we live in a culture founded on the three poisons — hatred, greed and delusion.
The delusion of power, dharma, and incorporating activism
Taking a pause, and seeing humanity in others allows freedom from holding on to others. How we’ve been trained to be competitive, that power is a delusion, and our habit of squashing another to get there. “Power over” vs. “power with”. “This and also” vs. “this, not that”. Leaning into relationships and listening. How people are scared of what they think they already have, that fighting against doesn’t work and the meaning of dharma and why she loves it. A rolling retreat for the March for Racial Justice, her time during the Occupy Wall Street movement, listening to people’s stories, and being involved in many of teachings down there. How she had taken a long time away from activism, and wanted to incorporate activism with her practice and realized people need a space to be human. The expectation in activism to be a martyr, pushing for the movement, but people are exhausted with often a 24hour way of living.Reclaiming energy, taking action, and lifting up together
How Booker and others would offer meditation in the park to bring them back to humanity, bring compassion and love for themselves, reclaiming energy. How she started project to support sustainability, so people could be deeper into their bodies – she realized something about integration of mindfulness and activism. How she learned suffering isn’t something we just have to live in and how to navigate working with vulnerable populations. Taking action. Mindfulness in America, dharma, social justice, yoga and mindfulness. Working with people who are learning how to meet with people who are trying to harm us. And how lifting up together we can get where we want.

Martial arts and your best self…
Sherry Zhang, Founder of Tai Chi Solution and a Wushu Master (profile), joins Julie Chan for a conversation about Tai Chi, wushu, Qi Gong and the impact of martial arts, along with a demonstration. Recorded at the MouthMedia Network Studios, powered by Sennheiser.Starting at six years old, counterbalance, and slow motion
Zhang discusses meeting Chan at Bamboo Moves in Queens, how she started martial arts at six years old in spite of a passion for dance, internal vs. external martial arts, how Tai Chi is slow and deliberate movements, slow breathing, health aspects, looking for counterbalance, and using opposite elements. She shares information on the focus of slow motion as a great benefit for health and how it helps relax.
Scientific research, energy flow, and Chi Gong
The use of slow breathing and correct posture, and a scientific research background on martial arts. Theory and benefits, happy and joy, and when the energy is flowing. How the goal in practicing Tai Chi is looking for energy flow through body. Qi Gong spends time on that, body posture and movement, and meditation is key. And a brief in-studio exercise, and the challenge being too much in your head.Increasing energy, staying grounded, and finding harmony
Integrating philosophy and lifestyle of Tai Chi into her own life, increasing energy level to decrease negative energy, dealing with objections, not letting other people get you down, the need to be grounded, how there are so many distractions and the incoming information overwhelming, and finding harmony. Being surrounded by positive people, exercising, community, and great energy. How Tai Chi creates harmony, and Zhang’s desire to inspire and encourage people to take control of their health and lives.

Tarot cards and intuitive healing…
Virginia Mason, Reiki Master, psychic healer, and founder of Fleeting Connections (a wellness company offering private services, events, and content designed to connect you more deeply with these experiences in your own life, shake you from the stories that hold you back and open you to your most fulfilling, magical life – (profile)) joins Julie Chan for a conversation about intuitive healing, tarot cards, and the intersection with science. Plus Mason gives Chan a tarot card reading that reveals some big news. Recorded at the MouthMedia Network Studios, powered by Sennheiser.Discovering tarot, Buddhism, and anthropology
Mason laments the issue with the word psychic, describes her background in science and physical anthropology, how she was strict Atheist, and went from non-profit to real estate, realized her life outside of these things in alternative wellness modalities, and found she had so many dreams that came true. How she was struggling with diseases, and all of symptoms went away. What was a primary driver to her exploring, when she was introduced to “When Things Fall Apart”, and she finally identified with Buddhism and got into meditation, Shambala. Crossing into the healing, how more and more evidence built, and creating space for whatever wants to come in to come in. Interest in anthropological factors from culture to anatomy, what’s fueling all of it, how she spent a lot of time in philosophy classes in college. Looking at people, pulling from different perspectives to figure them out, and another lens. The tarot as a form of divination using cards, tied to a game in the 1400’s.
Overcoming skepticism, tarot as a mirror, and seeing patterns
How she originally thought tarot was weird, but was into trying things, felt connected to pictures on the cards, and telling a story. How tarot creates a boundary, pulls from information that’s flowing. How mason is able to give intuitive reading without cards, but it is less draining to use the cards. Skepticism, and the way you’re supposed to receive your first tarot cards. The way tarot acts as a mirror, helping you see context or a story. Overcoming skepticism, applying skepticism to her own tarot experiences, seeing patterns helped eliminate her skepticism, and how it is not her job to alleviate their skepticism. Something is happening with the cards, but when you see something they are a mirror, and show you what you need to see. Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy? Bringing attention to something, is that all there is or is it that attention needs to be brought to it? How Mason feels there is something happening in the world, and see it in the patterns and wishes science could explain more thoroughly.Staying open, physical healing through tarot, and a tarot card reading brings a revelation
How people take the info—prescriptive as only a path forward vs. guidance. People are scared of the cards, but there are choices we make in our free will. Nothing is rigid, and when people are rigid is when it doesn’t make sense. Staying open is important. And the most important advice in receiving a tarot reading. Card guidance, what science could and should look at with tarot. Plus, physical healing through tarot and meditation? Is tarot connected to health care? A tarot card reading for Chan reveals some huge news. A pursuit of balance, peace and connections. Action oriented creative ambitions. A conflict, from career to domestic life, and loving the mother card. And the role of intuition in interpreting favorite cards, something important is confirmed, and a product line on the way.

Being open to challenges, intuition, and a Mother’s Day inspiration
Being open about spirituality with business, not being afraid of hitting a wall, sharing experiences to inspire others, books that inspire, sharing with others, how spirituality and sharing is a big part of her, how everyone has intuition, and a Mother’s Day celebration leads to an important psychic reading about seeing an accessory, and then a business inspiration.An intuitive reading, considering various states of being, and a re-launch
Chan provides an intuitive reading about a a perfect single coffee bean holding secrets, being ordinary and unforgiving, using tools to seek juices and how it becomes something different, what trips Mason up is only looking at the exterior of things, focusing on he current state of being and how she forgets that it changes states. But relishing in the transformed state, enjoyed it for flavor. Re-launching and re-branding Bootights to Socktights, expanding into other products and demographics, and new partners helping her keep focus. Metaphors on how you can’t drink a coffee bean, the coffee analogy, and a new partnership with Bottomless Closet that helps women who are entering the work force but can’t afford professional attire.

Purpose readings for companies starting with Open Source Business…
Open Source Business co-founders Rob Sanchez and Pavan Bahl join Julie Chan for a look-behind-the-curtain and a trip down memory lane in a revealing conversation about pivoting a business, business ethos, team communication, couples counseling, and whether a new business name is the right choice — all in this super-sized special episode.
Chan sat down with two of the three Open Source Business co-founders in 2016 in Bahl’s apartment to discuss their business, along with some new changes in direction, to give insight into the name of a new business entity, and to provide purpose readings to Sanchez, Pavan, and about the business as a whole. This conversation also served as a kind of test to decide whether the company’s new podcast network would add a new show, which ultimately became “All Possibilities” to its roster.
After reviewing the recording again recently, despite that it was specifically intended to ever be aired, the Open Source Business team and Chan decided the conversation and its insights would be of value to listener in hearing a candid discussion about a new and growing business, about the strengths and challenges of some business owners, and to share an inside look into how a purpose reading for a company can be of value.

Chan reviews Alvarez’s prior purpose meeting with five to six pages of channeled text of blocks, actions, thought impressions, and images made up of something like a metaphor resembling streaming video. Chan’s reading includes images of a seer of truth and detail, seeking transformation, finding wisdom, truth, and value potential that no one else can see and helping them to bring it into fruition, zooming into what is causing the pain, the white light of love, and a ball of dark light, and asking where is your light.Fighting ego, a need to blend in, and audaciousness, vulnerability and leadership

Plus, being held accountable, prioritizing values, the defaults for sabotage, and knowing one’s goals will happen.

And she explored and learned new tools. She studied in India and Thailand and South Africa, and more, understanding how the world works, and gaining a new perspective on life. And her own darkness started to lift. Spirituality and shamanism, and beliefs and methods unusual for a psychiatrist. About the direction medicine and psychiatry are going. When someone is acutely mentally ill, they may need medication, but that s a minority. Most people come in with a more spiritual approach or psychiatric approach, more patients are finding medications have side effects and they want to have alternatives.
Reconnecting with the soul, living authentically, and biologic and environmental factors
How it is a beautiful thing when a patient is empowered enough to be ready to do this. Medications often help with symptoms but don’t go to the soul level. A frequent cause is a disconnect with one’s own soul. Reconnecting with purpose and living more authentic lives. Identifying this, and communicating this to patients and having them accept it. Biologic propensities and environmental factors, and how everyone can do soul work and how it benefits everyone.Soul work, the shadow side, and addressing skeptics
Soul work includes authenticity, soul correction and connecting to part of something greater. Living according to your own authentic self at the soul level. How people correct their soul, opening doors to be the best person and being in the best position to help others. The shadow side, what happens when we push something away, and claiming a personal power. The intersection of business science and spirituality. Addressing skeptical psychiatrists, and how science is coming out showing how powerful spirituality is in the human process.

Mindful entrepreneurs meetups, ways to meet people and deeply connect, eye gazing and connections and messages, balancing the emotions of looking for the next paycheck, and the contrast of being around people vs. the solitude of being a freelancer.Jelly beans, trying everything, and relishing each moment
Chan shares a mini intuitive reading, aligning with one is on a soul level, the metaphor of jelly beans different flavors with colors so similar, life like a jar of jellybeans, each with own flavor, eating a handful, combining into a new singular flavor, or eat one and savor, tripped up by the hunt for the one best jellybean, which doesn’t exist. Being in the state of discovery, reflecting on when Richardson might assume she’d react a certain way without knowing the actual result, and being open. A child telling others what to do and being bossy as a child, being perceived as very smart. How the reading reinforced that the way she’s leading her life is not wrong. Being brought up being a very good job candidate, now working for herself. Jelly beans as things on her life that she could be doing, not shunning anything, trying everything and seeing what resonates best. Relating this to a romantic life, if jelly beans were men, her experiences in summer camp for adults, when the brain and heart connect, and relishing each moment that does exist.Being present in discovery, being the happiest, and stepping away from technology
The image of a small child methodically lining up jelly beans, how that influences the people around Richardson on the choices she makes, doing new things while living in the moment while doing them, instead of doing something and thinking about the next one. Being present in the discovery, and what is joy for Richardson, the idea of community and who she surrounds herself with, and what makes her the happiest she’s ever been — and how The Joy List relates to this. Stepping away from technology and bring present with whom you’re with, and the joy found without technology.

Recorded at the MouthMedia Network Studios.Wall Street vs. the Universe, quieting the mind, and not using guided meditation
Bravo discusses the importance of having proper barriers, having to be mindful at all times, working on Wall Street and embracing logic by day, then being open to the universe at other times. For legality purposes, leaving each world in its own, with no blame, no credit, and just being a “tool”. The key is quieting the mind. Why Bravo does not use guided mediation so that the mind can be quiet, letting whatever is going to come in, come in. How we hold ourselves back in psychic abilities, and it is a passive process, and the need to just feel and know things. Everyone has intuitive ability.
Trusting voices in your head, practicing intuition, and the responsibility of psychic predictions
Trusting the voice in one’s head, not throwing a moment away. Bravo poses a challenge to the listeners for the next 30 days to be aware of thoughts and stop for a moment. The more one practices the stronger one gets, always in motion weaker or stronger, and that leads to more trust in oneself, toward those abilities becoming normal then natural. Bravo comments on psychic predictions, and how the position of a psychic is very powerful, and having to be careful how psychic abilities and predictions can affect someone, protecting the client from themselves, and the importance of getting other opinions.Bravo’s better model, improving the industry’s reputation, and kindness as a cause
Some psychics want you to rely on them, why clients get to see Bravo only once a year, and why his model is a better model for a psychic as more of a life coach and therapist. Negative connotations of the word “psychic”, creating a positive connotation for the word psychic. “Coming out of the closet” as a psychic. The importance of consideration for the field as a whole. Explosion of awareness of psychics via TV, how the government has failed people and that has led to people turning to the psychic industry in the absence of other faith. And kindness as the greatest cause. Plus, Bravo gets emotional when given the opportunity to share.

Putnam Delaney discusses her background in financial tech, how she was originally committed to be a an archeologist, a passion for underwater archeology then antiquities art law, then a transition into financial tech, then immersed in the startup scene, a background in payments processing, a love of data, the study of people, and finding something personal inside data. The value of a diary, embracing spirituality, undertaking the Camino Santiago Decompostela, how sharing leads to confronting, an intimacy with people on that journey, and why she didn’t take contact information of some of her fellow travelers.
An Intuitive reading, blueberries, and change
Chan provides a mini intuitive reading with blueberries, green leafy branches, the process of picking and juicing, dreading what comes afterwards, staying on branch before being changed and transformed, retaining identity, how we’re all in this together and being taken to processing and being smushed and juiced, how the resulting juice still blueberry but in different form, trying to hang on to fading memory of something beautiful and sweet. Reflecting on a beautiful memory and trying to hold on to it. How it is OK to keep that on her mind, and a lingering presence.Something ruined, creating something new, and democratization vs. accessibility
Putnam Delaney reflects on how, when diving on vacation, an inappropriate diver made her nervous and ruined something she loved, her idiosyncratic background, and how perhaps she’s not acknowledging it and doing enough with it, love and passion vs. logic. Blueberries as unpicked and still growing vs. the harsh sterile processing after picking. An ironic confession, “Blueberries for Sal”, an identity tied to blueberry juice, changing physical states, and where the metaphor stops. Grapes vs. wine, taking singular options and give them time to ferment and the complex concept and the process as creating something new. Finding a way to let that flow into this life. How Putnam Delaney has been wanting to write a white paper on democratization vs. accessibility. Plus, an image can drive and inspire you.

A way of being fleeting, of causing and creating a mark on the world, a shadow, and interplay of light that just happens. How a cloud can be remembered, forgotten, and can pass by without anyone noticing it existed, feeling like a child waiting for a rainbow to appear after a thunderous storm, focusing on an opening of light that has always been there can peek through, but it is what is invisible that moves it all in the first place. The fight to live the way she wants to live, a lot of fear and sacrifice, and getting past darkness and self-doubt.

The wide range of applications in schools, socioeconomic situations, businesses and to affect the personal and corporate bottom lines. Career transitions and the fears one has to face, how Posner felt pigeonholed in his previous job, making a transition into his own business difficult, worrying about being judged, and a tough road to being able to communicate what he did in mindfulness.

He knew it was time for big change, lost a lot of weight, ran his first marathon, now training for an Iron Man, and aiming to take it to the highest level possible and being the person he was born to be. Recalling how the moment of discovery was during the Charles Dickens process, knowing why you want to do things, visualizing his own death, breaking a lot of unhealthy habits, seeing his children crying over his grave, growing up Catholic and being very spiritual, until a priest violated him and he allowed himself to take his own faith away, evaporating faith. Being successful and doing well, but not feeling it inside. Carmody felt he would steal his life from his children, that he’d be a thief. The ability to go back to the moment of spiritual awakening like a flash, and how he now believes in an interconnected web of existence, and disassociating spirituality from the priest incident as a child. Trying to find how to integrate that with his business world, using the loss of a major client as an opportunity to begin a new chapter, focusing on things that really matter, and just “being here”. Mini intuitive reading, gold in the river and diamonds in the words, and being kind to ourselves while giving to others Chan provides a mini intuitive reading to Carmody, focusing on how communication is not sterile, it is a living entity, words are prized possessions, packets of diamonds, and how the way Carmody communicates with himself that can use a boost. How words to himself are not prized possessions, and he should be delivering goodness to himself, a river, debris, gold in the river and in the debris, how everything has a use, and reflecting on life and communication style. How through writing, Carmody was able to have experiences and relationships, serving the audience when authentically giving of himself. The next chapter is more speaking and writing. How we err in allowing ourselves to be nasty to ourselves. Having positivity externally and internally.Reflecting on the reading, evaluating abundance, and learning from one’s children How debris is getting in the way of distributor of more diamonds, the need for nourishment, the debris is carrying the gold, creating a soft nest. Opportunities might seem like debris, and are containers for the true essence of the gold you wanted to collect. Evaluating abundance and whom you can share it with. Being present, and how Carmody makes sure his kids pickup his values, and how they can teach him.References: The Difference by Subir Chowdhury Tony Robbins

How he found himself on stage, wondering if is this all he was called to do in life, with the answer growing louder. He discusses public speaking, how the body shows up to the event of speaking, working with a school in southern Kenya, an LGBTQ activist organization in southeastern Africa, working with women in business to help the with their voice, and endeavoring to arm fearless communicators across the planet to speak about things that can make a difference. Placer reveals how he is an introverted extrovert, the opportunity to discover the power of you through sharing through those with less self-confidence having an empathy different than someone who is a natural. Breathing and tension, the universal inner dialogue, and a charge to communicate A conversation on where the voice is located, finding one’s voice, breathing and tension, and relieving jaw tensions and stretching. Intention, outcome and result, who are we being when speaking, what is the audience experiencing and feeling, and then the result. How we can choose to not be at mercy of inner dialogue we have of not being good enough, and how that dialogue is universal. Purpose and mission is being called to speak, we all have something important to say, are the unique person to share that, and present to that power. If the focus is on oneself, that focus is in the wrong place. Finding one’s voice, “powertalk”, and how to give amazing presentations. The movement of a supreme love community, radical supreme love. How when one does not have one’s voice and not speaking up makes one disappear. Our charge is to communicate, and how commitment must be bigger than concerns.Following up on an intuitive reading, a feline duality, and leading the pride A follow up since the full intuitive purpose reading with Eduardo, being the lion, understanding where he stands in the chain of life, how his ferociousness can be overwhelming when unleashed, how the duality of being a lion and timid cat is his theme, battling the two and learning how to embrace the two. Eduardo reflects on what reading was like, how it has impacted, fearless sharing vs. timid sharing, moved out of scarcity context and moving into an abundance context. Leading the pride, just standing in the space of not being a selfish lion, needing the support of the pride, being unapologetic and owning the power, leading from a place of selflessness and abundance, showing up to serve, and making a difference.Reference: The Muslim Jewish Conference
Balance, pace, and positivity in entrepreneurialism… Veronica Owens, Co-Founder of TiM (a web based digital on-boarding system for the entertainment industry – bio) joins Julie Chan for an emotional and revealing mini intuitive reading, interpretation and coaching at the MouthMedia Network Studio at Voyager HQ.Fixing a problem, loss, tragedy and challenges, and an Inner Empowerment Tool Kit Owens discusses how work in film production made her and her business partner realize how inefficient the on-boarding systems were, no one would complain or solve the issues, so they risked everything to try to solve it. Freelancers work long days, no one feels responsible to fix problem because no overarching system, moving job to job, not really “your problem” to fix it. Their system allows the same crewmember to fill out what normally would be massive physical paperwork by submitting with a few clicks. She stresses that TiM wasn’t fully and solely their idea, but instead “everyone’s idea”. Creating something from scratch is challenging and rewarding, startups are soul incubators, scary and empowering that it can stop existing at any moment, anything is real if you believe in it, having to let go of external things you define yourself with, everything around you can crumble to bits, but finding strength in yourself no matter what‘s crumbling around you. A pivotal moment of loss, tragedy and challenges. Losing everything around her, she hadn’t nourished her own happiness. Everyone has the power to create and shape their future, remembering what you love outside of work, needing to be able to believe in yourself first. Anything can change in a moment, but one’s own strength can’t be taken. An Inner Empowerment Tool Kit, chanting, Buddhism, yoga, how she found that kit and how she lost it. Needing to get them back, easy to be hard on yourself, easy to be sad. Eating right helps with stress too, and support from others is important. Buckets of water, rhythm and gravity, and working as one with the universe Chan shares an intuitive min-reading based on what is the highest guidance for Owens at this time, to align with who she is and move forward, balancing buckets of water, flowing, circular, some will be lost that’s acceptable, like a dance matching the universe, keeping water in. Working with the universe allows speed. Reflecting on life to see where it feels too slow and steady that causes inner angst, approach it all as a dance, and how rhythm and gravity work in favor. Being grateful, positivity, seeing things as blessings. How you can remake the world if you remake yourself, how struggling can help one find balance, wanting to dance and have what was seen as weight as choices instead. Being one with the universe, believing in purpose, spending every day present and honest with yourself about who you are instead of being distracted. Intense focus on how much water was there in the reading imagery, so easy to lie to oneself. Step One is catching a negative thought, changing the subject and letting go, walking forward and focusing on the journey. Working as one with the universe, believing in your own power. And stop accepting less.
Being present and in the moment… Derek Garlington, filmmaker, mixed martial artist ad MMA fighter, and author of “Souls of the Kindred Flame” (bio), joins Julie Chan for a mini intuitive reading and discussion on enjoying moments and allowing creativity to flow.Meeting Derek, a moment of quiet, and beating writer’s block Garlington discussed how he was inspired to go down the spiritual path, an extraordinary experience with very rare white and purple shells covering a pier as a spiritual experience out in the open, and when writing becomes reality. His book “Souls of the Kindred Flame” as a spiritual mystery story, how you have more internal power than you think, and the worth in examining it. How mixed martial arts and the motion of the body being active have been keys for him, and taking a moment of quiet. Being in the moment in mixed martial arts, being outside of the body, and in whatever you’re feeling make sure to focus that effectively and use that. The way martial arts and writing get him in spiritual mindset. And, strategies for writers block. Mini intuitive reading, feeling at peace, and moving vs. hovering Chan shares a mini intuitive reading, revealing birds, a shared serene moment, looking at life and relationships and driving things forward, respecting and honor moments, presence and joy. Resonating, Garlington shares about making a universe together, enjoying the moment instead of driving forward, and feeling at peace just by being with someone. The bird moving forward, or the bird hovering, being in something vs. outcomes.Questions Answered, being conscious of purpose, and connecting to flow Looking at the Akashic Records and how the information comes through. Lessons from past lives, being conscious of purpose to keep expressing on a plane of joy, leading to synchronicity. How Julie started noticing and looking for signs of abilities, inspired writing, and how best work comes when connected to flow.
