Episode 8: Spring Equinox, Rebirth & Second Chances

About this episode

The episode explores the significance of the spring equinox, discussing ancient beliefs, personal experiences, and scientific concepts related to life, death, and rebirth.

Spring isn't just a season — it's a threshold. This week we're going deeper than vision boards and fresh starts. We're talking about what every ancient civilization independently agreed happens at the spring equinox: the veil between worlds gets thin. We cover the science of near death experiences, quantum immortality, and time dilation — and Sasha shares a personal story about driving off a cliff at 45mph and somehow not hitting the ground. We also get into synchronicities, Jung's scarab, grief and the dead returning, and Ian Stevenson's forty years of reincarnation research that nobody talks about enough. Plus listener stories that don't have clean explanations — and maybe don't need one. Happy Aries season. Trust the charged air. 🌸 📚 References & Further Reading Grimm, J. (1835). Teutonic Mythology.
