Connecting with your soul starts with getting quiet
Create a vision by asking, “What does that empowered version of me look like?”

The Connection Between Dreams and Intuition: Dr. Michael Lennox and Mirjam Paninski in Conversation

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 16:42:04 -0800

Dr. Michael Lennox is a psychologist, astrologer, and expert in dreams and dream interpretation. He teaches classes in self-investigation to a worldwide audience and is the host of the weekly podcast, Conscious Embodiment: Astrology and Dreams. He is also the author of Llewellyn's Complete Dictionary of Dreams, Llewellyn's Little Book of Dreams, Dream Sight, and Psychic Dreamer.

A highly sought-after media expert, Dr. Lennox has been seen internationally on many television shows, beginning with the Sci-Fi Network’s The Dream Team with Annabelle and Michael, in January 2003. Since then, he has also been featured on numerous network and cable television venues including NBC’s Emmy award-winning Starting Over, Soap Talk, The Wayne Brady Show, and many others. His radio appearances talking about the power of dreams number in the hundreds.

Dr. Lennox’s expertise has attracted a global audience, with over 120k followers spanning his social media platforms, where he regularly shares his insights including his daily astrological reading segment “Red Robe Astrology”.

Dr. Lennox obtained his Master's and Doctorate in Psychology from The Chicago School. Astrology and Personality, his Doctoral Dissertation, is published by Lambert Academic Publishing out of Germany.

Dr. Lennox and Mirjam discuss many fascinating topics including how to manifest your desired reality with dreamwork. Some people may dismiss dreams as mere figments of the imagination, but they actually hold significant meaning and can even influence our reality. Because they operate at a level below conscious awareness, our dreams provide a unique portal to the workings of our subconscious mind, the hidden powerhouse where the information, beliefs, and experiences that shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions are stored. Through dream work, we can explore the subconscious beliefs that are holding us back from achieving our desires. We can also consciously use our dreams to program our subconscious with positive beliefs and intentions and actively participate in manifesting our desired outcomes.

Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest has an impressive career spanning over 12 years as a medical intuitive, during which she has assisted numerous clients in unraveling their medical enigmas and guiding them to discover and harmonize with their life purposes.

Gifted with innate abilities including clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and mediumship, Dr. Vest diligently cultivated these talents through rigorous training under the guidance of various mentors, both in traditional and formal educational settings. Her practice is an amalgamation of wisdom gleaned from a diverse range of teachers and training programs, incorporating elements from herbal and spiritual healing traditions such as African American, Native American, Jamaican, Trinidadian, and Spiritualist traditions.

This unique blend of qualifications informs her holistic approach to healing, combining intuition, logic, and scientific methodology.

Dr. Vest's capabilities extend to being a developed trance channel and akashic records reader, facilitating out-of-body experiences to visit the pre-incarnation meetings where her clients charted their life paths, selected their lessons, and entered into soul contracts with others. This profound insight allows her to elucidate the spiritual aspects of illness alongside providing insights into the physical and emotional roots of her clients' conditions.

In addition to her client work, Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest has dedicated herself to teaching psychic and healing arts, imparting knowledge in areas such as medical intuition, akashic records, mediumship, and women of color medicine traditions for many years.

Sleep and Mysticism: Philip Carr-Gomm and Dawson Church in Conversation

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 14:48:32 -0800

Philip Car-Gomm is the author of twenty books, including The Druid Way and The Gift of the Night: A Six Step Program for Better Sleep. He began studying Druidry in his teenage years, and eventually became head of the order of Bards Ovates and Druids. He has also trained as a teacher of Yoga Nidra and Mindfulness Meditation. He's fascinated by the intersection of the worlds of psychology and spirituality. He finds that psychology reveals the many facets of our human consciousness. When you add the insights of the Perennial Wisdom Tradition – the ancient knowledge and esoteric teachings passed down through the ages – you enter awe-inspiring transformational territory. He live streams a program called "Tea with a Druid" each week.

Here he and Dawson share about:

The book called The Life of The Buddha
The concept of the spiritual quest
Philip’s background
The phases of sleep
REM sleep for emotional processing
Yoga Nidra
How the eye movements of EMDR echo the reprocessing happening in REM sleep
For a great sleep, you need a safe bedroom, a calm mind, and a relaxed body
