Laura Moseley: It’s Not Loyalty That Keeps Us In Bad Relationships. It’s Unhealed Trauma. Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

Laura Moseley is a single mom of three, a grandmother, and the courageous survivor of more than 23 years of both sexual and domestic abuse. She is currently involved with social services work, she is a domestic violence advocate, she is a public speaker, and she has a blog called "The Walking Wounded." The "Walking Wounded" are the victims of domestic abuse who hide their pain behind smiles and their bruises behind well-placed garments and accessories. They live their lives in such constant chaos that mental health professionals have reported that their brain scans look almost identical to those in the military who have experienced and survived combat situations.

Kari Hohne: Things That Seem Bad Can Ultimately Reveal A Silver Lining. What Challenges You Not Only Makes You Stronger But Reveals Aspects Of Your Unique Path Aug 10, 2022

Show notes

Kari Hohne is a dream analyst, an expert on the recurrent symbols or motifs that inspire our dreams and oracles, the author of 7 books, and a translator of ancient texts such as the Tao te ching and I Ching. As a child, Kari had Out of Body Experiences at the onset of R-E-M, which is the recurring sleep state during which dreaming occurs. This brought her an early understanding of the metaphorical nature of dreams, and it later inspired her to study comparative religion and physics to enhance that understanding. In 1991, Kari had a life changing Out of Body Experience and in 1993, she was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. The diagnosis did not diminish her experience of connecting to other realms, and the seizures stopped when Kari began to follow her calling.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

Kari’s out-of-body experiences
Nature is changing everything to be stronger, better, faster, and more effective
Dream interpretation – unpacking our dreams
The 24-Hour Mind

SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS KARI:

What is your unique approach to spirituality?
Do you believe that people's deceased loved ones come through to them in their dreams?
How does acceptance return us to gratitude?

Rohini Moradi: Did You Know That The Akashic Records Are Like A Spiritual Database Where Every Thought That Can Be Used As A Guide For Life's Toughest Decisions? Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Spiritual teacher Rohini Moradi is an Akashic Records specialist, a healer, and the creator of the Magic Inclined community, a private community for people who want to learn to access the Akasha. Rohini was born in Tehran, Iran, when her father ran the only Hindu temple in the city but a massive religious-military upheaval in Iran altered her life path. After her father’s temple was seized, her family fled to the United States in 1989 as refugees. This uprooting disrupted Rohini’s connection to her higher self and evaporated many deep understandings from her childhood. But a short stint in jail in her late twenties served as a wake-up call and soon after, Rohini stepped into her journey toward self-healing and rebirth.

 

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

Rohini’s journey from bartending to owning a bartending school to becoming a spiritual teacher
Rohini’s out-of-body experience during her daughter’s birth
We are conduits for our children who are beautiful souls on their own journeys
We all have our own personal magic, these different energies that gets dimmed when we try to be like each other

 

SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS ROHINI:

What was your out-of-body experience about?
What did you experience when you started to heal?
What do you mean when you speak of peace beyond understanding?
