During this episode Sunshine discusses what it was like to go from being an atheist to becoming a voice hearer over night and how this has led her on a journey to become a mental health and wellness advocate who is passionate about helping others by normalising psychic abilities. Sunshine now speaks on a global stage to help raise awareness in this area, using her voice to support her with this mission.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When spiritual awakening happens suddenly it can cause overwhelm and confusion, sometimes leading to spiritual emergency.
• It is still taboo in some areas of society to talk about hearing voices, therefore, it is important that spiritual mediums have places to talk about their gifts in a non-judgemental and compassionate way.
• People receive spiritual messages in different ways, clairaudience being one of these.
• The Universe and Spirit present us with lessons for learning and growth.
• People, animals and those in spirit can help us on our spiritual and healing journey.

BEST MOMENTS

·       “I was an atheist my entire life, okay? And three and a half years ago, in the middle of my first Ayahuasca ceremony retreat, I started hearing a voice.”

• “ It was like a million pins stuck in my body and they were vibrating. And, and I tried to connect to my body and ground and breathe. Nothing was working. And this hatch felt like it had opened up to the heavens. And I remember trying all these things, trying to close that damn hatch because that's what felt like it was causing this intense feeling in my body. Anybody who's had a kundalini awakening can probably relate to this. And I couldn't close the hatch. And ever since then, I've been a medium.”
•  "It was embarrassing because I still have wounds as someone who went from being an atheist to a voice hearer overnight. And in a culture that stigmatises voice hearing, I have these wounds over people not believing me.”
•  "And spirit reminded me of that and then said there was this moment on stage where you had this fork in the road. This is me summarizing spirit. Doesn't sound like this exact, but there was this moment where you had this fork in the road. You're standing there on stage, you're feeling unsupported, you're frustrated, you feel alone. And you could have kept your mask on and separated yourself from the audience and pretend like you had your stuff together, but you didn't. You went the right way. You asked for help you, you spoke the truth, and that is the kind of integrity that you need as a medium, to speak, absolutely speak the truth. No matter what's happening.”
•  "I had to like, blow the top off of all of this and come out and just say, look, y'all, I'm a medium and I wanna meet other mediums, because that's how we normalise it.”

• “But you kind of have to train the nervous system in order to be able to hold that increased energy and consciousness and awareness.”
• “Even if it doesn't feel like it's this big intense event, you are, really being challenged in those points of what feels like a plateau. It's really not. It's integration and embodiment of a new frequency.”
• “ You know, especially as you turn on the light of your awareness, you see more. And what you see more of is not just the light, it's also the subconscious. It's the dark. It's those crevices within yourself that you didn't realize were there. And that can be in this lifetime, it can be across lifetimes.”
• “ I would say that you're more powerful than you think you are. I would say that you are the most important, powerful creator that there is. We're just seeing each other from different fractals of experience, and so service. Which is both healing yourself and contributing to others is healing the whole, it all is connected.”

Through providing an open space for healing and discussion, Jean combines her expertise as a nurse with complementary therapies and practices such as gentle touch, sound, deep listening, and energy work, to support individuals, and their families, come to terms with end-of-life experiences.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Soul midwives are holistic, non-denominational practitioners who help individuals who are coming to the end of their life.
• Having a spiritual or religious belief system can help individuals come to terms with the end of their life.
• Soul midwifery is a bridge between clinical and holistic care.
• Having conversations about death and dying is important to help an individual transition from this life, as well as guiding loved ones to understand the dying persons wishes.
• Essential oils, deep conversations, sound, and touch can all assist with coming to the end of life.

BEST MOMENTS

• “ I will absolutely meet somebody where they are. You know, if they have a religious belief or a spiritual belief or nothing, it's just meeting that person where they are.”
•  ”I always believed, when my own father died, I just always knew when he was around me and I just felt there was something more.”
•  ”It's just exploring and demystifying, exploring death and dying. Ideally, we can pick somebody up at palliation or old age. It gives you the time to work with that. We call them friends. They're not patients or clients. We call them friends because the friendship and the trust builds up over time.”
•  ”You can't fix it, you can't make it better. You can just be with that person and be comfortable enough to sit with their acceptance and their challenges and how they are, and just calmly, be present and reassuring with them.”
• “ You know, you get earth withdrawing generally, and I mean that for in general old ages about slips, trips, and falls, the water. As that withdraws, they become more emotional. Let's say with Earth they're less grounded, so they need that, that emotional reassurance. They need somebody around them and just what oils actually help all those transitions. And understanding fire, you know, fire stages towards the last two, three days or maybe just few hours when you tend to get that agitation etc.”
•  ”Because like every birth of a new soul, every labour is different and every dying experience is different.”

Emily, who was an interior designer, had the life changing experience of having a Near Death Experience (NDE) during a period of illness.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I was on a very different path. I didn't really have any particular interest in, or even knowledge on unusual experiences around death. I didn't have any interest in religious ideas or spiritual ideas. I was just really living quite, I suppose, a reductionist life.”
• “ I had been ill. I knew it was pretty serious. I knew something was really badly wrong.”
•  ”And as I came out of my body, all of the feelings of being ill completely vanished. And I started to feel some kind of whole-body euphoria or some kind of, I just felt fantastic.”
• “ Normal reality was like a fog. And I'd started to feel like everything made sense. There was a real clarity, and I understood why humans existed, I understood everything.”
• “I think it's the whole huge expansion of this clarity and sort of the huge feeling of awe and outstanding love and feeling like your whole body is, every atom is full of love. And so it's all about that and it's a real clarity, we understand what everything is all about.”
• “ I love things like this because it’s quite mind blowing really when you start to look into these areas.”
• “When I did my research with the participants they said very similar things, that it seemed like maybe the people who were living were part of a soul family or something that were there to help guide them back onto their path, and also, it made us think about ideas like maybe we are multi-dimensional beings.”
•  ”The question was asked ‘How would you describe dying?’ And somebody said, ‘Oh, I'd say it's death is waking up’”.

BEST MOMENTS

• “ After I had my babies, I was called to do something with postpartum care because that's my wounded healer.”
•  ”So, in China, you're supposed to lay down, aren't you? For 40 days? You're supposed to be looked after for 40 days and in China, they stay in their mother or their mother-in-law's house and get fed and watered and looked after, right? And the whole idea of being in somebody else's house is so that you don't see your own mess.”
• “ I think because my, when I first became a mother, I was just on my own.  I felt like I needed mothering. And so, from that then I feel like I want to do that for other people, in their time of need, whether it be postpartum or whether it be in a transition or after some kind of trauma.”
•  ”But martyrdoms a real thing, you know, crack on. And the women put themselves to the bottom of the pile. And that's societal as well as learnt from the family.”
• “ If we all live together how we should in community, then we'd be looking after each other's babies. We would be feeding each other, you know, we would all be helping each other. So the weight would be less. We wouldn't be holding all, or we wouldn't be holding the whole family on our own shoulders.”

Cathy was first introduced to movement and art therapy as a therapeutic practice after she began to struggle with the responsibilities that came with her role as a community development practitioner. Recognising the benefits she encountered through this healing process she trained to help others.

Cathy believes that the body is a resource and when we connect into our bodies using awareness practices and movement, we can allow our feelings to be heard and expressed, which leads to an increase in resilience and confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Through connecting with our bodies, we can better understand our feelings and needs.
• It is important to take care of our body.
• Our bodies can indicate to us when something is imbalanced within our lives.
• It is important to follow your intuition.
• We have the power to change our thoughts and feelings.

BEST MOMENTS

• “ I guess that we as practitioners recognise our own healing journey and our continuous healing journey and desire to always be, I guess, self-improving or knowing different ways to be in touch with ourselves.”
• “ Throughout my studies and my time working in different projects, I was living incredibly my mind space and was kind of, yeah, treating my body as a bit of a vessel to go from A to B and wasn't understanding the stress that I was feeling from these different experiences and from this level of responsibility.”
• “ I wasn't able to recognize or verbalize what I was actually feeling, but I could feel that there was tension in my body.”
•  ”So, I had these amazing years where I was moving through my own feelings of loss and despair and confusion and anxiety. Using these techniques, I felt like that was really supportive of the big changes and shifts. I feel like it made me more adaptable and realize that the path that I was essentially creating for myself, because there was no blueprint, was led by my intuition and a feeling that felt really good.”
• “I'm becoming less reliant on old coping mechanisms of needing to, I guess, suppress emotions and numb or dismiss feelings and question myself. I think because I've started that dialogue with self and I continually show up to that practice of checking in with my body and feeling my feelings.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Pete as they share their journey of ending their relationship of 19 years. In this deeply personal podcast, Debbie and Pete talk about this process and how they are working to focus on kindness, friendship, and therapeutic healing.

• There is the possibility for relationship endings to transition smoothly.
• Self-awareness is beneficial for navigating relationship endings.

BEST MOMENTS

• ” I think it's easy for anyone to forget that we change and evolve all the time. And just because once you tried to broach a subject with someone and didn't get the response that you were hoping for, it doesn't mean that that subject's always off the table.”
• ”This is why I'm always a big advocate of that it's really important to have therapy. It should be something we do just in the same way as we go to the gym, or we have a healthy diet, or we go to the doctors when we need, we should be doing that self-care.”
• ”Because it's genuinely, for the large part, this is a positive experience. It's really bizarre now that that doesn't mean that I loved you any less or you know, it doesn't take anything away from the importance, the magnitude of our relationship. It was huge and I'm so grateful for the 19 years that I've been blessed with. And you know, there's clearly more years to come because we've got the children and we'll be in each other's lives."
• “ And as much as emotionally, this felt horrible. Mentally, it felt like my head was a complete mess. That intuitive feeling felt like, yes, this is the right thing.”
• ”The only feeling I could ever compare it to was my dad dying.”
• ”I've turned to meditating morning and night. I'm journaling. I'm exercising here and there. I'm being kind to myself. I've modified my self-talk. I'm focusing on being kind to you and considerate.”
• “We can't necessarily control those situations or the external events, but what we can control is how we choose to act and respond.”
• “ It's a massive thing. Like I say, I've been with you all my life, so I'm trying to figure out who am as me.”
• “ You know, ultimately that's a large part of what's got me through as well, is just knowing that I'm always in the right place at the right time.”

During this conversation, Amy highlights the importance of having a safe place to go to as changes to relationships, environments, and belief systems are made, acknowledging that this can take time. However, by working through these issues, Amy wishes to highlight that a better life is possible.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Making sure that physical needs such as getting enough sleep and relaxation can be really important when making changes in your life.
• Support groups can be a safe space to explore healthy relationships and connections.
• It is important to be able to talk and safely express emotions.
• You deserve to feel safe.
• Our core attachments growing up can influence how we act and react in our adult relationships.
• When we can separate our behaviours from who we are as a person, it can help us to heal and grow.

BEST MOMENTS

• “ I think if people feel like they can speak up about how they're feeling, it goes a long way because it can be very disempowering as a person to have to hold everything in.”
•  ”That's the general message is you do deserve to relax. You do deserve to take time out for yourself, and you do deserve to be heard. And eventually, hopefully, you are safe. You can be safe.”
• “ So understanding that what's seen on the surface isn't always reflective of someone's efforts. So sometimes we need to look deeper to be supportive.”
•  ”What are the reasons when people go back to living independently that lead them to find someone like that again? Like, are we teaching enough personal boundaries? Are they integrated in the community enough?”
• “I think more often than not, there is actually, you know, an unhealthy relationship dynamic coming from the core attachment growing up, because we learn our boundaries from that caregiver.”
• “That's kind of like always a theme I think when you're trying to offer support or even education, people have got to want to be ready, you know, to receive the help.”

•  ”I thought, I know somehow I can get through this, and I would hold that guitar close to my body, and feel that vibration, that energy in it, and kept visualizing and meditating that this would be healed.”
• “ I wanted to mention too with nature is when I get up in the morning, I look out the window and what I see kind of tells you how the day is. So, I love reading signs and symbolisms and things like that.”
• “ You can put it all together like the Native American Indians used to do. And they would, they could smell the air, they could smell the earth, they could feel that breeze. And those are things that we've lost and they're so important.”

•  ”I wake up with symphonies and music in my head constantly.”
• “ But we had a lamb and a raccoon and a deer and a German shepherd, and a ferret and an alligator and an African lion all in the house at once. And nobody ate anybody else.”

• “ I've always known I can see spirits but I just assumed that everybody else could as well. So, when I was younger, people would be in my house, people would move things and it was just, Oh, I'll put it back. I didn't think anything of it.”
•  ”I remember once going to see a medium and she did my palm and she said, you could do this, you know, and I thought, yeah, they tell that to everybody.”
•  ”We knew she was in there. We knew she was bothering the dog. We knew that she was touching things, but I thought, well, it's okay. She's fine. She's not causing any trouble. And then one night, she really shoved my shoulder hard. I reasoned in my head, maybe it isn't that, maybe it was just a muscle spasm.”
• “ My mum was dying and I held my mum's hand, I said, Mum, show me who's with you, and I could see everybody that was waiting for her.”
•  ”I was speaking to my nana when I was about nine. I spoke to my mum and said, I've been speaking to Nana. Mum cried, Dad got angry, shouted a lot. I thought, oh, we don't speak about this kind of thing then. So I didn't speak about it again.”

During this episode, Vandana shares her personal family journey of how her and her husband became aware of the Human Regenerator when supporting her mother-in-law with her cancer diagnosis. Upon using this machine, Vandana’s mother-in-law benefitted greatly, which inspired them to invest in a machine of their own, bringing it to Lincolnshire to support others with pain and health issues, as well as for those who want their body to be the best it can be.

So, the state that she was in was quite fragile. She's really low on energy, she was getting really tired, and we just were kind of in a place where we thought we need something to sort of support her, just to give her a bit of a boost.”
• “But then after her second session, the next day, we asked her, mum, you know, how are you, how are you feeling? And she said she felt good. She got off the Human Regenerator and she had a bit of a light on her face, and she felt good. And we did over 20, 000 steps around central London, which was something that she hadn't done in a very long time before.”
• “That's when we decided, you know, we'll get one here up in Lincoln and try and help more people and also support mum as much as we can, just to give her the quality of life that she could have with her limitations. And yeah, that's kind of how our journey started.”
• “They're just happier in themselves and they don't have that kind of the pain or the struggle in the back of their mind and they're able to do more than they think they could have done.”
•  ”And then having the human regenerator on top of that. It's just been a game changer. I feel good. I don't feel tired after a really long day of work, and I don't feel low on my energy or touch would not been poorly for quite some time. So, I think it works as a really good compliment to a great lifestyle.”

•  ”And I just, my consciousness was just literally pulled straight out of my, my body. And I was just moving so fast. Like the speed of light, straight down a tunnel. I would call it a wormhole actually, because I'm big into sci fi. Amazing! So I'm speeding through this wormhole. And eventually, I've no idea how much time passed, but eventually I just popped out somewhere else.”
• “ But I was just so comfortable because there was no, there was no sadness, there was no fear, there was no pain, no pain at all.”
• “ I knew that it was a place that I had been, that it was more real of an experience than this is. Yes. This is the dream. Yeah. If anything, this is definitely the dream in my opinion.”

I had the most amazing support. However, what I found was that once I'd got out and the dust had settled, all the help disappeared. And I was kind of left in this state of being absolutely shell shocked.”
• “I was like, you know what, I cannot live my life like this. I have to sort this out myself. So, I started on this epic journey, fascinating, epic, real hyper focus of studying trauma, the impact of trauma, what happens in the brain, what happens in the body, everything to do with it because I needed to understand why my body was behaving that way, why my brain was behaving that way. I had to find my own route to get better.”.
•  ”So it was a personal journey that gave me this fire and determination, passion to say, no, we're not tolerating this anymore. There has to be a better way.”
•  ”When we actually look at what happens in the brain and we've got these neural pathways that, and I always think they're a little bit like if you're building a road system, you know, you start off with the kind of baby neural pathway and it's essentially like a little bit of a footpath going through the and then if you go over it enough times, it becomes a more definite pathway.”
• “ And I always think it's a little bit like, you know, when you're rolling a snowball, it takes a while to get it going, but my golly, you know, once, once they get going, it's amazing.”
•  ”Just that you're worth it. You are absolutely worth it. And I know it's hard, but I promise you the work is worth putting in.”

During their conversation Matthew demonstrates various scientific concepts, explaining why some of these may contribute to our understanding paranormal experiences, something which Matthew has had numerous encounters with, Matthew sharing these experiences with the audience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Scientific concepts can assist in explaining paranormal experiences.
• Science, at its best, should be open to exploring possibilities.
• Having an understanding of energy can help us to understand how the universe works.
• Paranormal experiences are encountered more frequently than we realise.
• Our intentions have an impact on our reality.
• If working with magic, we should do so in a way that is positive and protective of ourselves and others.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Certainly, it's part of my fundamental ethos, I suppose, and philosophy of science. That to be a good scientist, one has to be open minded and explore the possibilities of an infinite number of possibilities.”
• “But then our keyword nature, if we're going to take the full foundations of nature, that should accommodate paranormal beliefs and paranormal phenomena.”
• “They should read some of the stuff in quantum mechanics and cosmology, which is far more bizarre than the paranormal stuff. Far more bizarre, Debbie. And these things are observable, observable things that we can talk of.”
• “I'm interested in, with respect to paranormal beliefs, i.e. manifestations, ghosts, etc., a lot of cosmological models, and to be fair, quantum mechanical models can explain that phenomena as it were. So that's why I'm interested in cosmology, and I'm interested in a lot of these weird things that exist out there.”
• “Hence, how we can explain the existence of ghosts using that mechanism. We could argue that when you see these phantoms, if you like, or these demons, what you're actually seeing is, you're seeing them in their natural state.”
• “And as we know, black holes suck things into infinite density. The white holes conversely spit things out from infinite density, so they're completely inverse.”
•  "Basically my father died when I was eight and in somewhat tragic circumstances, medical neglect, basically. And I remember my mother took a picture of a television in our room, in our lounge, where my father was physically in our television and this television was off. It was unplugged from the walls. You can't explain that through photoelectric effects or anything like that.”
• “ I had a dark figure follow me around for a long, long time. A very long time. It only went a couple of years ago. And then other paranormal experiences I've had of hearing voices, as it were.”
• “Debbie, I've strayed so far from my path, I can't remember the way back.”

•  "I believe in the soul contract and that they signed up to experience whatever it is they've gone through. They've just forgotten about it and these people are actually coming in to help them to learn their lessons.”
• “ I had one lady come to see me and it was near enough like a scene out The Exorcist, only her head didn't spin 360. So, yeah, so it keeps me on my toes.”
•  "When you're sat upstairs just before you're about to incarnate, and you're sitting there with your team, your guides, and your guardian angels, and you write your story, you star in your film, and you get the T-shirt.”
•  "It may be something simple, like somebody said something to him as a child, but it's stuck in their head that they're thick or they're stupid or they're ugly or whatever it might be, and they've carried that forward into adulthood.”

So, actually, I've been paddling manically, and you can see that clearly, but I'm just not getting anywhere apart from feeling like I'm drowning.”
• “I always think for the new year, well, how can I build upon those positives that I've built throughout the previous year. It's always that building and moving forwards.”
• “I suppose I've finally surrendered to that impatience and just have allowed.”
• “Well, that helps put a different energy into it, doesn't it? So, it's okay putting your thought energy into it. The electrical impulse in your brain firing off and creating that electrical energy, but you also need to put some kinetic energy in to help it go in the direction that you want it to go in.”

It's, I mean, whether you're not, you believe that it's my unconscious, subconscious, mind bringing forward what I need to do next, or whether you believe it's guides or the Universe, it seems to just appear.”
• “And it's been quite fascinating listening to your way of remembering all these different words, because obviously I'm looking at them and I'm like, oh, that's a French word. That's a German word.

• “And one of the things that he said was working on a problem, if the solution isn't beautiful, he knows it's not right. And my journey with this Shungite stone was, it's really plain and black, you know, it's really quite boring. And so, I was like, Oh, we could make it really beautiful.”
• “My heart drives my work. And, it's not often been easy. I've often gone without; I’ve lived off grid in a van for years. You know, my son didn't enjoy that. But it meant that I could be there for him as a single parent. I could take him to after school clubs, we could have the holidays together and I could develop my art practice.”
• So the difference between shungite and a crystal would be that the crystal has a lattice structure. It's absorbing the sun's infrared frequencies, and that is setting the frequency coming out of your crystal. Now, because Shungite doesn't have a lattice structure, it's actually emitting far infrared frequencies.”
• “Someone would come, they'd try, you know, we'd get them playing with things on the day and often they would come back the next day and tell us all these amazing things that happened overnight.”
• “So this is where the resonance of the quantum entanglement of the fullerene molecule in the Shungite is pairing with you, your heart's desires."
• “Keep asking those questions, because that being resonance means you have to ask the question for God, the Universe to bring you the answer.”

And allowing yourself to shed and change and move forwards into what you actually are here to do and feel inside, the easier this transition will be.”

During this conversation, Mike discusses his reasoning for adopting a vegan diet and the benefit that this had on his health, sharing the experiences that those in his study found when they altered their dietary practices. This encourages Debbie to enquire and reflect on her dietary experiences and that of her husband Pete, Mike thoughtfully engaging in this conversation with sensitivity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For some individuals, a change in their dietary practice can increase their spiritual connection and sensitivity to psychic phenomenon.
• Animals have a consciousness.
• There is a connection with vegetarianism and different spiritual traditions.
• Our diet impacts our health and well-being.
• We are all on our own path and we should value our personal experience.
• We are all part of a connected system, and we need a healthy planet to be able to thrive.
• Each of us can make small changes in our diet and lifestyle to help ourselves, each other and our planet.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I mean, I've always been interested in food. I've also always been interested in parapsychology, so it was brilliant to have the two coming together.”
• “I read a really good book by a guy called Graham Nichols called Avenues of the Human Spirit and he basically said ‘Well, if we share our consciousness with animals then you know, we really shouldn't be mistreating them in the way we do because that has an impact on us.’”
• “When I went vegan, I didn't really notice much difference in my health when I went vegetarian, because before I was vegan, I'd given up meat, but I was still eating dairy. When I actually gave up dairy, I noticed a huge difference to my health, you know, I suddenly felt clearer and I had fewer or if no colds or flu, my eczema that I had on my back of my hands and my elbows that just went.”
• “You do need to honour your personal experience.”
• “You know indigenous people who eat meat, a lot of those people, they respect the animal that they've killed, if you'd like. So, there is a kind of spiritual connection. They're very conscious of how that animal has lived.”
• “And I sent them a questionnaire really asking them about how often they had spiritual experiences how often they have paranormal experiences.”
• “So, it does seem that vegetarian and vegans have more of these experiences than those people who eat meat and the same with people who fast.”
• “We're not the only species that use tools. We're not the only animals that have languages. We're not the only animals that have culture. So, I think that there is a great deal of wisdom in a number of different animals, and possibly even plants too.”

• “Actually, I need to accept that this is where I've been. This is what I've gone through. And these are possibly the reasons why I'm eating like I am, or I have the habits that I have.”
• “But it wasn't actually allowing me to express what I needed to express.”
• “We are all the experts of us because nobody else is walking in our shoes. No one knows really how you feel or what you're thinking. So, once you actually help start building their confidence and give them that power back, I think sometimes that's actually really transformational on its own.”

• “And I came up with this phrase of even when there's nothing to see, I can see everything. And that was just that basic, you know, my mind was emptying out, but …I just felt at one with the ground, which is just kind of, I don't know, it sounds really spiritual and that's not really who I am, but it is in the sense of, that’s why I love the whole thing about safaris.”

• “Unfortunately, I did not have a spiritually transformative experience, I did not see a ghost. I did not meet God or anything. It was a simple anecdote narrated by my wife.”
• “Evidence tells us that personality survives physical death...we have... colossal amounts of evidence from about 12 different independent areas of investigation, all pointing coherently and consistently to this survival hypothesis.”

• “I suffered from severe clinical depression for about a year and a half. Frankly, suicidal, and I was cured.”

• “That death is not the end of existence, it's the end of material existence, ourselves, our mind, our memory, our thoughts, our personality, and critically for people who have had a loss, our affections go on existing after the death of the physical body.”

BEST MOMENTS

• “You probably won't meet anyone as joyful and happy as me today.”
• “I grew up in a quite an unusual environment. It was very negative. I was always told that I was never going to be able to attain anything. I was stupid. So, I grew up, basically believing this about myself, which does not help in life.”
• “I went to an ashram for six months in India, away from everything, you know. I mean, this was back in 1999, so we didn't really have social media like we have now. But it was just fantastic to go to this place, and it was like a dream come true, I was meditating every day, and I was doing yoga. I met some incredible people. And I was really able to spend that time to go within myself.”
• “Everyone's different, you know, everyone's individual.”
• “Now you've come to a realisation that you do have choice within situations. How do you get yourself to that point where you recognise that? You know what? It's because my epiphany told me that all of this was illusionary, right?”
• “And once you've broken that loop and you've got that awareness of this, then you have choice.”
• But I have to say, you know, one of the most helpful things that's really helped me along my journey, is positive self-talk and recognizing negative self-talk. I do believe this is a bit of a pandemic in the world today. I believe it's responsible in some shape or form for all psychological and physical ailments. I truly believe it's very overlooked and not talked about enough, which is why I want to talk about it.”

From an early age Nicola discovered that she had the innate skill of communicating effectively with others; something which was nurtured within her professional career, as she acquired skills in personal and leadership development. Through this work she unearthed the transformational power of coaching, assisting people to move, progress and make the changes they want to make both personally and professionally, therefore enabling them to be their best self and reach their potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• High quality coaching can help you action your goals and realise your potential.
• Communication skills are important in all areas of life.
• When you make a commitment to yourself, you can make massive positive changes.
• When those at the top of an organisation are clear about their goals and work on themselves, that has a positive impact throughout the organisation.
• It is important that coaches have worked on themselves so that they can be at their best for their clients.
• Coaching can give you mental flexibility.
• We have the resources within us, coaching can help us access them.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I was asked to manage a team of coaches and that's where I discovered coaching. And, and I just loved it, and I thought, right, well, if I'm going to manage it, I kind of need to know the depth of it. I really want to know what it is that I'm talking about.”
• “When you're dealing with personal coaching, you're dealing with the person's life. So, if you're not skilled, competent, and flexible with the breadth of tools, techniques and the ability to be completely client centred, then you're doing your client a disservice, potentially, because you're muddying it with your lens or your experience or your world.”
• “Sometimes if you're quite people centred, you're quite externally validated.”
• “To have, you know, almost someone telling me that my instinct was right. It was the first time where I ever really tuned in and became more congruent with myself.”
• “I choose to work in the executive leadership space because my belief is if I can use who I am and if I can use my skills to help people, towards the top of the organization, then that's going to filter through the organization, it's going to affect more people.”
• “Many people come to me wanting to thrive, you know, believing, that presupposition that we hold, which is, you know, whatever we think we are, we are capable of so much more, you know, we're so much more than we think we are.”
• “I would say you already have it within you, whatever it is that you want, whatever it is that you think you need, you already have it. Ask yourself what you want and ask yourself a time when you've had it before because it's pretty likely that you've had it before. You have all the resources within you to be who you want to be."

Through his theatre background, John became aware of dramatherapy, a type of psychotherapy; and how the intentional use of drama techniques and ideas could assist in the therapeutic encounter.

• “But in order to do your role effectively, it's going to change in relation to your client. So, the way that you show up for one client is different from the way you show up for another client.”
• “It's much more fun playing the bad guys, playing the people that you're not, right? And you can then present aspects of yourself that are not socially acceptable or they're not potentials that you can bring forward in your everyday life.”

During this conversation Nawab will discuss how he came to learn about the Sufi movement and how this led him to be a seeker of wisdom as he embarked on a process of purification, unlearning preconceptions and dogmas that he had been carrying around with him.

Nawab focuses on the importance of working on ourselves, unlearning the preconceptions and limiting beliefs that hold us back so that we can connect in to love, hope, and joy. A significant aspect of this is through connection to the breath and our intuition guiding us to recognise we are all connected.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The attitudes and assumptions that we learn throughout life can become a barrier to true connection with ourselves.
• When working on the heart it encourages compassion, kindness, generosity and acceptance.
• For our happiness, we need to recognise that we can control our mind, and we can change it.
• Our breath is a current of energy that flows through us which his directed through our words, thoughts, actions and feelings.
•  When we listen to our intuition, we discover a connection that we are part of everything and everything is part of us.

BEST MOMENTS

• “So if we think that Sufi is about wisdom, then it means that it's someone who is looking for wisdom, not somebody who claims to have wisdom, because anybody who says they're wise is obviously a fool.”
• “There's a couple of chronic illnesses that the world suffers from right now. One is that we think too much, or we overthink everything. Another is that we're extremely materialistic. We try to quantify and measure everything, and it's all in terms of our sensory experiences, which is always limited, that can only take you so far. And the third illness, common chronic illness that we suffer from, that the world suffers from, is to have a frozen heart.”
• There's meant to be a stream, a well that flows out of the heart, but you have to dig for it, because often the well has been, you know, there's a lot of sediment in there, and you have to dig down. And if you're willing to do the work and get through the mud that you do encounter when you start to excavate your heart, then in time the stream flows, and that flowing helps to purify the channel.”
• “If you're playing with a child, if the child says something rough or hurtful, well, you wish they would behave better, and you try to teach them better behaviour, but you don't feel crushed because a child says something rude to you. Well, in fact, most of the world, with all love and respect to them, they're still children."
• “The spirit of guidance works on different levels. On the physical level, spirit of guidance, you could say is about reflexes... When the Spirit of Guidance speaks through what we call our mind, we call it intuition. And if we listen, our hearing becomes sharper. We begin to hear more messages.”

• “It's really trying to be a pupil of humans because what you have to do is you listen to people and find out what they want to achieve, what we think they need. And then we try to give them that. It's easy being a teacher, but the truth of it is, you've got to go back and you've got to be a pupil, you've got to study and you've got to study the people that come along to you.”
• “If you can breathe properly, if you can just imagine for a while that what you're breathing in is not just gas and chemicals, but it's an energy.”
• “So you're breathing that energy in. And then you're moving that energy around the body, and you know, and some people take it further, they move the energy around and they give it to other people.”
• “Trust me, your mind wanders off and you have to bring it back. It's one of the most hardest things. So all of this is teaching you willpower to do that.”
• “To get the real benefits, you have to do a little bit very often, a little bit, and the old Chinese masters always say, it's like putting down a piece of rice paper on the ground, put a bit down one day, two days, three days. After a year, you can actually see you've got a pile of paper.
• “So, when you start to think about your thoughts, and then to say those thoughts, you have to have breathe to say the thoughts, to say the words, and that then gives you the impetus for the good deeds."
• “Get to the nuts and bolts of them all and dig deep. You'll find the same message and philosophy going through the whole thing.”
• “Live your life by that, good thoughts, good words, resulting good deeds.”

• “They just see into our souls. And they require us to be authentic because they don't know how to be anything other than that. And they're the epitome of emotional intelligence as well.”
• “That's just something special to be around that kind of energy and what they need from us is for us to get out of our heads and work with our own emotional intelligence and listen to what our bodies are telling us.”
• “They can't do role play. They don't, it isn't on their agenda. They don't know how to do it. So, every interaction is completely genuine and honest.”
• “The horses were where I found my safe place, so I just used to ignore the horrid girls who were picking on me and just go and spend time in a field or a stable with a horse and I was as happy as Larry and they just create that safe space.”
• “We've got a great connection. And so, I kind of feel what they're showing me and what they're telling me, but, and I've always assumed it's just because I've grown to know them.”
• “And that's something that I believe very strongly, that on that energetic level, we are all connected and anything that I do in the here and now ripples out and affects, you know, completely everybody and everything.”
• “I think the main one for me is get out of your head and listen to what your body is telling you about the situations that you find yourself in and the relationships that you find yourself in. Really tune into those gut instincts and listen to your emotional intelligence.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Ana who reads the tarot. Ana, who is from Brazil, was brought up to explore various healing traditions, her father being a healer within their community. From a young age, this opened her up to the complexities of how our energy and intentions have an impact on our wellbeing.

When Ana was first guided to read the tarot, she was initially overwhelmed, unsure as to how this would be incorporated into her life. Over time however she began to find it an insightful tool to create a picture and to tell stories to guide the individuals that she worked with. Over time she developed additional skills such as studying astrology which she incorporates into her readings.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having a reading can help to give confirmation about how we feel and where we want to go within our lives.
• A good quality tarot reading can help to show us what we need to know or what is playing out within our subconscious mind.
• To learn the tarot takes time and patience.
• When tuning in to another’s energy, or giving a reading, it is important that the practitioner is in a good place mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
• Astrology can give a lot of insights into a person’s character, their past and the challenges that they face.
• Tarot cards work best when they are read in conjunction with one another to give a deeper insight.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I think that it was back in 2014, one of my guides said to me, you need to start being very prepared because you are going to be a healer of healers and then I was just like, oh my God, you must be joking.”
• “I think, I believe that it's the most precious thing that I ever came across in my life because it shows exactly what the eyes cannot see, you know? So, shows things about the subconsciousness. It shows like really, really everything that it's behind.”
• “You must be joking. I'm not going to buy tarot cards. And they were like, yes, you are going to buy tarot cards. And then I got really upset. You know what I mean? Because my first deck, I was just open it. And then I was just spreading the cards and I couldn't read anything. And I was just like, why are you doing that to me?”
• “But nowadays when I spread the cards in there, I see as they become like motion pictures.”
• “My father was a healer. So, six years old he was already like initiated me. Nine years old I was already like giving Reiki to people. So, they are like, it's studying and studying. I'm someone that studies a lot, quantum mechanics, archetypes. I study numerology, astrology.”
• “You know, every single card, it's so precious on its own and has its own, like, story to tell.”

During this conversation Zoe highlights that we all have our struggles and difficulties, but we are not taught how to effectively deal with these from being young. Zoe believes that if we were, we would be able to regulate our emotions with increased ease which would in turn improve our connection with ourselves and others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Emotions are there to give us a message.
• When we understand the messages that emotions give us, we can make positive changes.
• Mindfulness based techniques can help us to regulate our emotions and reactions.
• Emotions are transitory.
• We are not our behaviours.
• We can learn from our mistakes.
• Other people feel similar things to what we feel at different times of our lives.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I just think it, for anybody, it can only be a good thing to understand yourself better and be kind to yourself as well.”
• “Just think from my own experience as well, of having mental health conditions from, so I had OCD from when I was six, and it's been a very hard journey for me. And we didn't have the kind of understanding, or it was like, ‘Oh, don't cry’.”
• “We're not alone. We all feel like this sometimes. Because I think that was a huge thing for me, actually, when I was little, I thought I was the whole world, like, and I just felt like nobody understood. I was all on my own, but we all have our struggles, and we all have our things.”
• “I think often we can be so critical and so harsh on ourselves. Far harsher than we would be if anyone else came to speak to us and said they were having a problem.”
• “You can't always control external life events but what you've always got that you can control and keep your power with is how you choose to think, feel and react.”
• “And you just think it's such a shame. I think because of the school system and how I feel really sorry for them because I know they try really hard, the teachers, but obviously there's so many children with different learning styles and different interests and not everybody is going to fit into that umbrella.”
• “Do you need a little cry? What do you need? Why are you here? Is there a reason you're visiting me?”

David initially began his yoga practice for fitness, in time noticing that the benefits went way beyond this, assisting with mental and emotional wellbeing, and spiritual connection.

During this conversation, David discusses the parallels he has made between the medical model and within therapeutic and energetic practices such as yoga and different types of therapy, noting how these can play a vital role in supporting our health and well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is often an overlap between different types of therapies and well-being practice.
• When we resist life’s circumstances, we struggle.
• We have innate wisdom within us to heal and release.
• Acceptance is an important aspect of healing.
• When we take care of our needs, it is easier to make better judgements and decisions.
• It is important to be able to honour and release different emotions.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I see it in the way we respond when we have to go into a particular posture in yoga or one of the asana. This, and a lot of the grounding techniques that we accept, you know, that calm the nervous system, science recognizes them, they have been around for millennia.”
• “I think we still have the wisdom; I think innately we have it; I think it's ingrained. If you look at animals and kids for instance, like if a dog's stressed and it gets away and shakes off, doesn't it? You know, we do that as humans, but we kind of stop ourselves doing it because of the way we might look, you know, or how we're perceived.”
• “I mean the asana, the postures themselves, there's no hierarchy in them. So, I struggle in Sukhasana, which is easy pose. I struggle in that. But these postures I think are meant to represent the challenges in life. You know and completing them isn't the aim, it's how you respond to them.”
• “The most important relationship in the world is with yourself.”
• “And that's what suffering is, isn't it? It's resistance.”
• “And the more we do this, these little maintenance things for our lives, whether it is exercise, sleep, hydration, you know, co-regulation, you know, being with others, these little, tiny things, what that does to you is it affirms you, and you're then able to make better, more well-informed judgments and decisions.”

• “Reiki one was such an enlightenment really because we had case studies to do, basically working on family and friends.

• “I'm so surprised, I never in a million years thought that I would be resolving my stuff from a physiological point of view, coming from the physical. Being one that has really avoided anything to do with exercise over the last 30 years, other than perhaps lifting a guitar cabinet on stage in my previous life as a musician.”
• “We're all unique and we're all different. And I find it fascinating watching everybody's journey and what works for them and what doesn't work for them. And also watching people unfold and change and evolve.”
• “And people still now, they will message me, people that I don't know, to say how my book has impacted their lives, which is just, I never expected that at all. I expected half a dozen friends to maybe read it.”
• “Well, I'm sure maybe I was reluctant to sign up and then they said, ‘Well, I'll tell you what, before you get round to doing all this, we'll leave you a period where you can, play in a band, go on a tour around the world, have beers and food, groupies, and do your little fun bit, and then you've got to do your spiritual stuff.’”
• “She'll tap in with her guides and yes, that's exactly correct, that's the information we need, and we encourage you to go and work on this energy vortex that's been opened or this portal that's been opened.”
• “I'm so passionate about getting people together, to be able to give them that space and time away from their busy lives, just to be able to switch off. I have realized over the years, I'm very good at holding space for people.”

• The body gives us messages when things are not right.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Which I hadn't thought, when I first went into training, I was like oh, I've done a fine art degree, what's this got to do with it? But yeah, over the years I see it as probably one of my greatest assets, actually having that background. And the beauty of doing a fine art degree is that it is a lot about self-expression.”
• “One of my biggest lessons, certainly in the past few years has been around that surrendering into process as well, and that's, you know, and I still journey with that now there is no finished article, is there?”
• “I feel that when my body can let go, my mind then goes, Oh, okay, I’ll follow suit.”
• “Over the last year I’ve had a period with a breathwork facilitator. And that for me has been such a tonic. It's been a real eye-opening journey into my relationship with myself.”
• “You know, you work with one layer and then there's another one and another one, you keep peeling them back. And for me as well, there's something about that. As much as we're learning, we're also doing a heck of a lot of unlearning.”

During this conversation Debbie and John will explore the stress response and how feeling stressed and overwhelmed provide us with a message about what is not working in our lives. They will also explore how they learn, and discuss how the ways we attribute meaning to our experiences can impact how we feel about them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

• “How do you acquire a new skill, a new therapeutic approach? I'd be fascinated to know, maybe you've thought about this, maybe you have broken it down for yourself.”
• “So, as you say, you know, you'll see things, you'll hear things, you'll smell things, you'll feel things. There's a relational aspect to that. So, you're kind of recognizing that all of that's going on and it's going to happen anyway. You don't necessarily need to intellectualize about it or theorize about it.”
• “It's the age-old thing for me of that balance between theory and practice.”
• “But there are all sorts of things in life where actually it then starts to become a little bit more difficult to draw those distinctions and one of them might be you know, what's therapy and what's not therapy?”
• “And very often I'll find myself saying, if we're getting into weird territory, that's usually a really good sign. The weirder it is, probably, you know, the more interesting the territory that we're getting into.”
• “I'm curious about how we bridge those expectation gaps. Because, you know, if we can, there's a way that I think we can reduce the amount of time sometimes we spend helping individuals to acclimatise to ways of looking after themselves or ways of going through a process of change.”
•  "Being open to recognizing that sometimes how we think about something is 99 percent of how something is."

• “But then after that we travelled to see your grandma in a nursing home, and I was a toddler at the time. It was the first time I thought about death.”

• “I noticed a big difference in my personality, which I thought was something that was static. But actually, I realized I'm not this person that I'm being, and I was able to find my way back to myself.”
• “I know that my heart wouldn't be as kind as it was if I hadn't been through the things that I'd been through.”
• “One thing I found really helpful for me is to think back to when you were a child, what did you love doing?”
• “You really do become the best kind of person that you can be when you when you get rid of all those heavy feelings.”

• When developing ourselves spiritually we have to accept the environment that we live in with both the opportunities and constraints it provides.

BEST MOMENTS

• “And for ages I was like, no, I never had this as a kid. It wasn't something where I was seeing dead people at the end of my bed. But then actually looking back on it, I remember the amount of times at home where I'd just get up in the middle of the night and I was just adamant that the TV was left on somewhere because I could just hear a conversation in the house between two people.”
• “I just picked up loads of stuff and you know, one woman next to me, her face just kind of dropped. She went, Oh yeah, that's my grandma. And I was like, Oh, okay, cool. And then after that I was just hooked. I really was just like, I have to do this. I have to do this. This is the most exciting thing I've ever done.”
• “And once you have the connection, it never goes away. That's the beauty of it, is that you'll always have that connection.”
• “I had someone that talked to me about it, a colleague last year and he was kind of asking me about it. And he was a massive atheist. And I just kind of said to him, I was like, I didn't want to change his mind or anything like that. It was just an open conversation about it.”
• “It's just like a massive library full of all their records. Everyone's is slightly different and it's so weird. Some peoples are very futuristic and modern so you know that they're from like a different star system. Some people like you walk in, it's like a jungle. So you know that they've had like a lot of real primal tribal earlier lifetimes that they're really connected to.”

During this conversation Kieron shares the many benefits of floatation and its ability to allow for sensory enhancement and deep relaxation, something which we often fail to obtain in our busy society. Kieron also shares his knowledge in the other services he provides which include using infrared sauna and cold immersion.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• By restricting our external stimuli, it can promote rest and relaxation, as well as deeper connection to ourselves.
• Sometimes discomfort can provide profound shifts and break throughs.
• Experiences such as floatation can relax the body and promote a rest and digest state.
• When we fail to deal with our traumas and difficult situations, they can then manifest into ill health.
• When we stop, it allows the subconscious mind to bring forward all sorts of information and experiences, helping us to process these.
• We are the co-creators of our experiences and reality.

BEST MOMENTS

• “The way I see it, it's more of a sensory enhancement because everything's quietened.”
• “So (technology) it's like a medium that brings us together, but really tears us apart as well”.
• “I think people overlook the self-care a lot.”
• “If you're not tuned up nicely, you're gonna play a horrible chord. Do you know what I mean? You're not vibrating nicely or you're feeling, you're resonating well, even with the intention of doing good, you're probably doing it, you're probably doing it quite messily and not very thoughtful and you're trying to be virtuous rather than being genuine.”
• “We go through a time of darkness in ourselves, you know, like the dark passage of the soul or whatever it is. We go through, we go through a dark time as I did. And that's why I got into this. And that's why I got into floating because I was struggling with my dealing with my mother's death.”
• “I was running away from everything and all I needed to do was just stop.”
• “What the tank delivers for my clients as well, because the experiences, although the premise is the same every time, they're so different every time. You can have a very physical float, you could maybe have a bit of an uncomfortable float, or a very colourful float, or another float where you completely dreamscape the whole session, and you feel like you're travelling around.”

Four and a half years ago, Lou recognised that alcohol had become a large part of her life and had begun to have a detrimental effect on her relationships. She came to recognise that although her life looked wonderful from the outside, she was not her true self.

By using alcohol, she had created an identity that allowed her to hide from others and herself. Upon recognising she needed a change; she started going to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Through this programme she took responsibility for her actions allowing her to express herself in more healthy ways. This helped her to embark on a journey of self-love, humility and peace.

Lou is now a qualified coach and therapist who is passionate about helping executives and individuals in business.

·      Through therapy or self-work new more helpful solutions and strategies can be found.
