  Stop Trying So Hard: DIY Spirituality with Faith Freed 19.08.2026 1ч

  Spiritually exhausted? Therapist Faith Freed reveals why your spiritual practice might be the problem, and how to build one that actually fits your real life. What if the reason your spiritual life feels like a second job is because you've been following someone else's job description? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Faith Freed, licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and author of DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path, to explore one of the most overlooked causes of spiritual burnout: doing it wrong for you, not doing it wrong in general. Faith spent nearly two decades in clinical practice, trained at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, and has seen firsthand what happens when people treat their spiritual growth like a performance review. Spoiler: it doesn't end in enlightenment. It ends in a meditation cushion being used as a footrest. What you'll hear in this episode: Will opens up about something he's never discussed on the show before. after years of daily meditation, breathwork, sound baths, energy healings, and spiritual retreats, he still doesn't feel "further forward." Faith's response reframes the entire conversation: the goal was never a destination. It was always just a practice of touching in. Faith introduces her Divine Disco Ball framework, a four-part map of spiritual connection built around body and mind, soul and spirit, infinite source, and the natural world. The framework isn't diagnostic or prescriptive. it's a navigation tool. When one quadrant feels heavy or overworked, you simply rotate to another. Will also has a live breakthrough moment on air. connecting a spontaneous mystical experience he had years ago in the Atlanta airport to a pattern Faith identifies in real time: being alone in a crowd might actually be his spiritual sweet spot. It's one of those genuine, unscripted moments that makes this episode worth the full listen. Key topics covered:Why spiritual exhaustion is more common than spiritual failure, and how to tell the differenceThe "spiritual playlist" concept. keeping what lights you up, releasing what you force out of obligationWhy micro-rituals (as short as 60 seconds) can be more sustainable than elaborate daily practicesThe difference between spiritual presence and spiritual distraction, and how your intuition already knows which is whichWhat "authentic spirituality" actually means when the word has been flattened by wellness cultureHow a phone fast, a solo trip to an amusement park, or simply watching rain can be a legitimate spiritual practiceWhy Faith believes you don't have to do anything at all. and why that's both liberating and surprisingly hardAbout Faith Freed: Faith Freed is a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and the founder of Freed-Om. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and has nearly two decades of clinical experience. Her newest book, DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path (Collective Book Studio, 2026), offers an illustrated, accessible guide to building a personal spiritual practice outside of rigid religious or wellness frameworks.

  A Chemistry Professor's Case for Why Energy Healing Is Real - Spirit Fest USA Special 18.08.2026 12мин

  At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen "sit down" with Doron Shalev, a chemistry professor, crystallographer, and self-described skeptic who found his way into energy healing through an unlikely source: a stack of pandemic reading that started with crystal science and ended with a Reiki master teacher certification. Doron makes the scientific case for "woo," walking through the statistical thresholds researchers use to validate findings like the Higgs boson, and why many energy-healing studies actually clear a higher bar of statistical significance than science is willing to credit. The conversation turns personal when Doron describes healing his own arthritis through distance Reiki, a technique he says works better on himself than hands-on healing ever did. He also shares his shift from traditional Reiki symbols to Kabbalistic healing, using one of the 72 names of God in place of the Cho Ku Rei symbol, and describes how he reads chakra energy to figure out whether what he's sensing is emotional or physical. It's a rare conversation between a scientist and two skeptics-turned-believers, all circling the same question: what happens when the data starts pointing somewhere science hasn't caught up to yet. Guest: Doron ShalevFind him: https://doronshalev.com and at https://modernmysticproject.podia.comNew Reality TV is where this conversation lives alongside hundreds more just like it.

  Words Are Magic: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Ritual Behind This Perfume House 11.08.2026 12мин

  At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Amiee Gibson of The Hidden Court of Heka, a luxury ritual perfume house built entirely around one Egyptian concept: that words, spoken, written, or simply held in the heart, are magic.Amiee walks through her three "chambers," each a scent world built around a different sense of belonging, from resin-and-rose blends to a dream-enhancing floral chamber of blue tansy and jasmine. She explains why her perfumes age for eight to twelve weeks before they're ready, how a jojoba-oil base gives them a two-year shelf life, and the small ritual trick that can stretch a single application to last all day.The conversation turns personal and a little spooky when Amiee describes her handmade spirit boards, each one warded, engraved with an original incantation, and designed to be used alone rather than with a group, a deliberate departure from the Ouija boards most people grew up fearing.It's a conversation about intention, craft, and the old idea that what you speak, you become.Guest: Amiee Gibson, The Hidden Court of HekaFind her: hiddencourtofhekka.comThe Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

  Ancient Minerals, Modern Healing: What the Old World Knew About Staying Well 04.08.2026 14мин

  At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Clint Greenlee of IESA Healing Arts and Soundworks to talk about Ormus — sometimes called "the philosopher's stone" — and the ancient mineral wisdom his Heal the World Project is built around. Clint breaks down why even a "perfect" diet may only get you 70% of the way to real health, how copper deficiency quietly blocks your body from absorbing magnesium and iron, and why he believes healing should be radically simple: just a few single-ingredient tonics rather than a cabinet full of supplements. The conversation moves from Ormus tinctures and topical applications to Shilajit, castor oil, and the body's own capacity to detox, rebalance, and regulate the nervous system — including a live moment where Clint offers Will a hands-on remedy for his neck-related migraines. It's a conversation about going back to basics: minerals from the ocean and volcanic ash, the wisdom of ancient healing traditions, and what it actually takes to let the body heal itself. Guest: Clint Greenlee, IESA Healing Arts and SoundworksFind him: https://www.iesahealingartsandsoundworks.com/The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

  Real Spiritual Awakening vs. The New Age Trap | What Actually Works 29.07.2026 54мин

  Spiritual awakening or spiritual marketing? Shaman Abhay Oyun walks us through why most New Age practices miss the mark—and what real consciousness expansion actually requires. With 35 years of lineage practice and a track record that includes predicting global events, he challenges the skeptics and believers alike on where inner work ends and industry hype begins. A pragmatic deep-dive on authenticity in spirituality.What if everything you've been doing in the name of spiritual growth is actually just... marketing? The meditation apps, the retreats, the affirmations. What if the real thing looks nothing like any of that?That's the question Shaman Abhay Oyun walked into our studio with. He's a Siberian shamanic elder with 35 years of practice, 40 countries, and a lineage stretching back 40,000 years. He predicted the Ukraine invasion before it happened. He performed ceremonies for 2,500 people at the base of Mount Fuji. And he doesn't speak a word of English. This conversation happened through an interpreter.Don't let that throw you. What came through was worth every pause.In this episode, Will and Karen sit down with Shaman Abhay Oyun to explore:Why he calls most modern spirituality "awakening marketing," and what real awakening actually requiresThe Sixth Race. what it means to become an angel while still living on Earth, and why he believes this evolution is already happeningHow shamanism actually works, no Bible, no doctrine, just direct contact with the powers that have the answersWhy your energy is draining and what to do about it tonightThe one thing a 40,000-year-old tradition says modern people are completely missingTwo sisters on heavy medication whose eyes literally changed after 25 sessions of simply sitting and breathing good vibrationHow a Siberian shaman from his lineage once protected an entire village from a wildfire while everything around it burned to the groundWhy humor might be the most underrated energy practice on the planetPlus: Abhay explains the difference between Siberian shamanism and every other tradition using a duck in Paris, a duck in Ukraine, and a duck in America.

  Classic - Did Reality Change Overnight? A Physicist Explains the Mandela Effect 28.07.2026 55мин

  Ever been absolutely certain about something; a movie line, a cartoon character's outfit, a historical event, only to find out the whole world remembers it differently? That unsettling feeling has a name. It's called the Mandela effect, and it might be more than a memory glitch. Will opens with his own real-time reality shift. A boarding pass seat number that changed right in front of his eyes mid-flight, no explanation, no logical fix. Then he and Karen bring in Cynthia Sue Larson, a UC Berkeley-trained physicist, bestselling author of "Reality Shifts" and "Quantum Jumps," and founder of RealityShifters, to make sense of it. Cynthia walks through where the term Mandela effect actually came from, Nelson Mandela's death that never happened, Art Bell's flooded phone lines on Coast to Coast AM, and why she pushed back on naming the phenomenon after him. From there, the conversation goes deep into quantum physics theories, including QBism and "Wigner bubbles," each offering a different explanation for why groups of people can swear they remember the same event happening two different ways. It's a conversation that walks the line between hard science and mind-bending possibility, exactly the kind of topic that makes a skeptic start questioning what "real" even means.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

  What if dying is actually a skill you can practice? In this episode, we explore consciousness expansion and spiritual awakening through Darnella Ford's unconventional journey...one that began with heartbreak, depression, and a breathwork experience that sent her flying through the void.

  Is Hypnosis a Shortcut to Enlightenment? A Hypnotherapist Explains What Really Happens in Trance 21.07.2026 55мин

  Will and Karen sit down with licensed hypnotherapist Cat Cazimi, co-host of Hippie Chicks Live, for a deep dive into what hypnosis really is, and whether it can fast-track you to spiritual awakening. Cat breaks down the biggest myth about hypnosis: the idea that it's a sleep-like state where you lose control. In reality, she explains, hypnosis is a hyper-focused state of receptivity, not unconsciousness, and you can never be made to do or say anything you don't want to. She walks through the difference between a light trance (think scrolling your phone or watching a movie) and the deeper theta state used in therapeutic work, and shares how she works with the most resistant clients, from analytical "monkey minds" who overthink their way out of relaxing, to people who drift too far into sleep. Karen and Will also revisit their own hypnosis sessions with Cat, including a moment that helped Karen finally get consistent sleep, and a lighter memory involving an impromptu "world-class pianist" suggestion. The conversation turns philosophical when Will asks Cat directly: is hypnotherapy a shortcut to enlightenment? Her answer redraws the line entirely, arguing that hypnotherapy ends and self-enlightenment begins the moment you're finally willing to meet yourself. Also in this episode: a listener voicemail from Toronto on the healing power of screaming into the void (walk-in freezers and airport parking lots included), a five-star review from a listener in Portugal, and a live audience Q&A covering who can and can't be hypnotized. Guest: Cat Cazimi, Licensed Hypnotherapist, co-host of Hippie Chicks LiveBook a session: https://hypnohelpsyou.com/The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

  What Actually Happens After You Die — And Why It Matters Right Now 15.07.2026 57мин

  What actually happens after we die? Not the comforting version. Not the tunnel and the light and the everything-is-fine. The specific, structured, verifiable version…mapped in detail by someone who has spent more than 20 years studying the invisible architecture of the soul. In this episode Will and Karen sit down with internationally recognized intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal to explore one of the most profound and underexplored questions in all of spirituality: what the soul experiences between death and rebirth, and why understanding that journey might be the most important thing you can do while you are still alive. Inna draws from her own direct experiences, including witnessing her grandmother's passing in real time and observing the etheric body leave the physical form, and from more than two decades of deep study in the work of Rudolf Steiner and the Anthroposophical tradition. The result is one of the most rigorously structured conversations about the afterlife, soul evolution, and spiritual discernment you will find anywhere in the podcast space. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat the soul actually moves through in the period immediately following physical deathThe three-day separation process and the role of the etheric body in holding the physical form togetherWhy Rudolf Steiner's framework of subtle bodies — physical, etheric, astral, and ego — offers one of the most precise maps of human consciousness ever developedWhat the seven-year communication window is, and why departed souls gradually shift from verbal to gestural contact with the livingHow unresolved ancestral patterns, karma, and soul contracts shape both the life we live and the journey we take after it endsWhy the soul of someone who dies by suicide enters a fundamentally different state than one who transitions naturally — and what loved ones can do to helpHow Inna's clairvoyant grandmother survived the Holocaust by trusting her own perception, and how that gift passed through the family lineThe angelic encounter that predicted Inna's career in precise, testable detail — and the phone call that arrived the same evening to confirm itWhy Inna believes the new age industry has dangerously oversimplified the spiritual journey, and what a more honest framework looks likeHow Rudolf Steiner's predictions, made over 100 years ago, have been verified by modern discoveries in medicine, farming, and human developmentFind Inna:Website: innasegal.comInstagram: @innasegalauthorFacebook: InnaSegalAuthorYouTube: @InnaSegalauthorKey Topics & Timestamps[00:00] Pre-open teaser: The soul's journey between death and rebirth[01:00] Will and Karen intro: The show where the woo meets the "wait, really though?"[02:00] Inna's guest introduction and her million-copy bestselling background[03:00] The stillbirth at 22: Inna's first angelic encounter and the promise of two children[07:00] Healing her own body at 20: direct communication with her physical form and the discovery of her clairvoyant ability[11:00] The second angelic encounter at 25: a career prediction that made no logical sense[15:00] The phone call from Woman's Day magazine that arrived the same...

  Why Killing Your Ego Won't Get You Closer to Enlightenment (And What Will) 08.07.2026 55мин

  What if everything you've ever been taught about the ego has been wrong? For 3,000 years, spiritual traditions have delivered the same prescription: dissolve it, transcend it, kill it. And yet, for most people, no amount of meditation, prayer, or spiritual work has made that nagging disconnection go away.Dr. Nickolas Martin has spent 40 years in clinical psychology watching that prescription fail, and he thinks he knows exactly why. The ego, he says, isn't the enemy. It's a patient. A licensed psychologist, author of five books, and the man who literally invented the field of Egology, Dr. Nick introduces a framework he calls Ego Medicine, and it starts with a truth that stops most people cold: you can't destroy something you don't actually understand. And according to Dr. Nick, almost nobody understands what the ego actually is.In this episode, you'll find out why the ego has no intellect, no awareness of God, and no awareness of itself... and yet still manages to be the single biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you were designed to live. You'll hear about the three dimensions of ego energy, and why being what the world calls "a big ego" and being someone who can't feel their own feelings are actually two sides of the same broken coin. You'll also hear one idea that may quietly rearrange everything you thought you knew about spiritual healing: you were born saved.The question Dr. Nick is asking isn't how you wake up. It's how to stop from waking yourself. This one hits different. Come ready. Resources + Links from This Episode Books by Dr. Nickolas Martin(all e-book versions available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble for $2.99 each) Earthly Resurrection: The Truth of God-Ego-You (Dr. Nick's recommended starting point.

  Develop Your Psychic Abilities. 5th Generation Psychic Medium Shows You How 30.06.2026 55мин

  What if your intuition has been trying to talk to you your entire life. and you just never learned how to listen? In this episode, we sit down with Dallisa Hocking, a 5th generation psychic medium, educator, and founder of Spirit & Spark, for a conversation that turns the entire psychic world on its head. Because unlike most people in her field, Dallisa is not here to tell you what's coming. Her whole mission is teaching you how to develop your own psychic abilities so you never have to outsource your inner knowing to anyone again. What she calls "inner literacy" ...the ability to trust your own perception, recognize patterns, and navigate life from within... is not a gift reserved for a lucky few. It is a practical, learnable skill. And in this episode, she shows you exactly how to start building it. We cover a lot of ground. Dallisa shares the overnight spiritual awakening in 2015 that flipped her life from dating coach to 5th generation psychic medium, why clairsentience may be the most common and most misunderstood psychic ability, how to raise your vibration in 30 days using nothing more than meditation and morning pages, the difference between genuine intuition and fear dressed up as a gut feeling, how to set psychic hygiene boundaries so spirit is not waking you up at 3am, what recurring dreams are really trying to tell you, and the premonition she posted to Instagram days before a fatal helicopter and airplane collision in Washington DC. She also takes live audience questions from around the world. and answers a few things for Will and Karen that had us both a little speechless. If you have ever been told you are too sensitive, struggled to trust your own inner guidance, or wondered whether your psychic abilities are real, this one was made for you. This episode is part of our ongoing exploration of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and the science of the unexplained. If you are new here, welcome. This is exactly what we do. 🌐 Visit Dallisa at SpiritAndSpark.com.

  Why Your Spiritual Awakening Requires Breaking First | Dr. Amy Robbins 24.06.2026 51мин

  What if your spiritual awakening wasn't meant to find you...but to break you? Dr. Amy Robbins, a clinical psychologist with 20 years of practice, received an after-death communication after her aunt passed that shattered her worldview. In this episode, she reveals how life after death experiences rewired her understanding of soul purpose, why chasing enlightenment keeps you stuck, and what actually triggers transformation. A pragmatic guide to spiritual awakening that doesn't require you to abandon science.__________________________________What if the very thing that broke you open was the point all along? That's the question sitting at the heart of this conversation with Dr. Amy Robbins, a clinical psychologist with nearly two decades in private practice who had her world quietly flipped inside out by something she couldn't explain away.When her aunt passed unexpectedly, Dr. Amy received what she now understands was an after-death communication... specific, verifiable, and impossible to dismiss. What followed was a years-long journey that eventually led her to ask a question most therapists won't touch: what if we've been treating people without accounting for the most important part of them?In this episode, Will and Karen sit down with Dr. Amy to explore what happens when science and spirit stop pretending they don't know each other.Here's what you'll hear in this conversation:The story of the ring. Dr. Amy describes giving a reading where she saw a specific ring with a blue stone, only for the sitter's husband to receive that exact ring from his mother two days later. the ring his late father had secretly wanted him to have.Why "psyche" literally means soul, and how modern psychology quietly forgot that. Dr. Amy makes the case that the field didn't just drift from its roots. it left the whole person behind.Purpose vs. essence, and why most of us are chasing the wrong thing. If you've ever felt vaguely unfulfilled despite checking all the right boxes, this reframe will stop you cold.Why 60 to 70% of people say spirituality was central to their healing, but only 5% of therapists are trained to address it. That's a Harvard statistic, and it explains a lot about why so many people feel like their therapy sessions are missing something.What Spiritually Informed Therapy actually looks like in a session. including what Dr. Amy does when a client's deceased loved one shows up in the room.Will's surprisingly honest confession about why readings never seem to land for him. and Dr. Amy's gentle, slightly therapist-y response that had Karen stifling a laugh next to him.Whether you're someone who has sat in a therapist's chair and felt like something important was left out, or someone who has had an experience you couldn't explain and had nowhere to take it, this episode is for you.Dr. Amy Robbins is a Clinical Psychologist, Director of Mental Health at BIÂN wellness club in Chicago, and the creator of Spiritually Informed Therapy. Her podcast, Life, Death, and the Space Between, has over 2 million downloads and counting.Find Dr. Amy at dramyrobbins.com and on Instagram at @dramyrobbins.This episode is sponsored by John Novello, the man who saved a life before 9/11 by following a feeling.

  How to Hear the Voice That Already Knows What Your Life Is Supposed to Be 17.06.2026 57мин

  What if the feeling you keep talking yourself out of is the most reliable thing about you? Today's guest has been listening to a voice most people would have dismissed, medicated, or kept very quiet about. Instead, he followed it for seven decades through a Grammy, a Billboard number one, and a 30-year run with one of the most celebrated trios in jazz history.He also followed it on the morning of September 11th, 2001, when it told him something was very wrong with a flight his girlfriend was about to board.She canceled.The flight was American Airlines 77.It hit the Pentagon.But that's not even the most extraordinary thing John Novello tells us today. In this conversation, we go places most interviewers never take him. We find out what it actually felt like to roll out of his body, see himself lying in bed, and watch his dog flee in terror. We find out what he saw when he floated through the roof and kept going. We find out what his late wife said to him when he found her, and why she sent him back. We also find out why he's lost two wives to the other side. and what one of them said when he visited her there too.Along the way, John breaks down exactly why the Law of Attraction keeps failing people, what the real difference is between being the power and distributing it, and what it means to actually recruit the Invisible Architect into your life rather than just affirm your way into disappointment.This one goes deep. And somehow, it still ends with a Maxwell House joke.Connect with John Novello:https://johnnovelloauthor.com/  - Author sitehttps://go.johnnovelloauthor.com/register - Elite Mentor sitehttps://go.johnnovelloauthor.com/booking - Book a life strategy session with JohnWatch this one on on NRTV: newrealitytv.comThe Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

  SpiritFest USA - What If Sound and Light Could Heal What Medicine Can't? 16.06.2026 13мин

  What if healing didn't require a diagnosis, a pill, or even leaving your house? Will and Karen sit down with Terri Bowden, Guardian of the Virginia Beach Harmonic Egg, during Day 2 of SpiritFest USA, and the conversation quickly goes somewhere unexpected.The Harmonic Egg is a wooden, egg-shaped chamber that uses precisely calibrated light and sound frequencies to work on the body from the inside out. But here's what most people don't know: your session doesn't end when you step out. The egg continues working on you for five full days, whether you're across town or across the ocean.Clients in Kuwait, Italy, and Australia have felt the energy arrive remotely. Karen shares her own remarkable story of coming in post-COVID and leaving with a 104-degree fever she could barely feel, only to wake up the next morning feeling completely transformed. Terri walks Will and Karen through the range of conditions the egg has helped address, from PTSD and anxiety to cancer and chronic pain, often treating multiple issues within a single 50-minute session.And it's not just for people. Remote animal sessions using photographs have helped dogs with cysts, cats with grief, and pets with anxiety.Hunter, we're looking at you.Then the conversation takes a turn into something even more surprising: each egg has its own name and its own consciousness. Terri shares the story of how Anna, the Virginia Beach egg, revealed her identity through a client who had no prior knowledge of her nickname. It's the kind of moment that makes you rethink what "alive" actually means.If you've been curious about the Harmonic Egg, this is your introduction.
