The Empowered Spirit Show

In this episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, we begin with the intensity of the full moon and the way its light can reveal the hidden places within us that are ready to be seen, released, and transformed. As spring comes to a close, we pause to reflect on what we have been planting in our lives, our energy, and our spiritual practice. Soon, the growth will begin to take hold. The question becomes: are we willing to stop living by the old rules and allow the new season to teach us another way? This episode explores the energy of entering a new room in life, where the old survival strategies no longer work. We look at how the nervous system can continue to follow old patterns even when life is asking us to expand, soften, trust, and receive. The episode closes with an EFT tapping meditation to help release old energetic agreements and begin writing new rules from the soul rather than from survival. The new room does not require you to master its rules overnight. It only asks that you stop letting the old room be the authority. Each time you notice the old strategy rising, pause. Breathe. Tap. Listen. A new rule may be ready to write itself through you. Thank you for joining me for The Empowered Spirit Show. And may you trust the new room as you step more fully onto the path ahead.

In this episode, Terri Ann Heman is joined by visionary author and speaker Adam Apollo to explore the scientific validation of past lives, the profound wisdom of the Akashic records, and our soul's journey through time and space. Adam's work bridges ancient memories with cutting-edge science, providing a roadmap for us to remember who we truly are and reclaim the skills and wisdom from our past incarnations. Main Discussion Points •The Science of Past Lives: Adam discusses how his book, "Lifetimes: Spiritual Explorations of Earth and Galactic Pastimes", makes the exploration of past lives accessible to everyone by laying out the scientific evidence that validates these experiences. It's not just "woo-woo"; it's a real phenomenon studied and proven by many. •Beyond Archetypes: The conversation highlights the importance of moving beyond archetypal past life stories (e.g., being Cleopatra) to uncover the personal, nuanced journey of your own soul. •The Soul Genome: Adam introduces his theory of a "soul genome," a third genetic stream beyond our maternal and paternal DNA that carries the data of our soul's experiences across lifetimes. This could be the mechanism for carrying over skills, abilities, and even physical marks from one life to the next. •Healing and Reclaiming Wisdom: A central theme is that by facing and accepting the wounds of our past lives, we can integrate the wisdom and reclaim the skills we developed. The pain is in the past, but the wisdom is available to us now. •The Continuous Thread of Purpose: Your soul's purpose is a continuous thread that runs through all your lifetimes. While it may manifest differently in each life, the core mission remains the same. •Galactic Heritage: The discussion delves into our galactic origins, exploring why a soul would choose to leave a hyper-advanced galactic civilization to experience life as a human on Earth. This choice often reveals the profound purpose that drives us. •The Power of Remembrance: By remembering our past lives and galactic history, we can bring our full selves into the present, armed with incredible allies, skills, and a deep sense of purpose to navigate any challenge with grace. Key Quotes This is not woo woo. There are many, many, many other people that have done studies on this work with thousands of people proving that this exists. And so you can stop gaslighting yourselves out there and start actually exploring your past lives. It's the wisdom… That's the key. So often we come from these lifetimes with the pain, and then we're holding it in the body. The body remembers and we just remember the pain. But when we go back in and open up the energy and go into it a little more, that's where the wisdom comes forward." "My theory is that you don't just have a mother line in your genetics and a father line in your genome. You have a soul genome." Adam Apollo As Adam offers, "Why would you choose to step down from a hyper-advanced galactic civilization where you essentially lived in heaven on earth?... The answer to that question is extraordinarily profound for almost everyone. It reveals that thread, that beacon of purpose that's within our soul, and that we're willing to actually face hardship at times in service of love." This work of integrating your past lives will give you new skills and abilities and knowledge to face any and every challenge that could come your way and to do so with more grace, proficiency, a more easeful nervous system, and with the allies that you need to have to do your great work.

In this deeply moving episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, host Terri Ann Heiman sits down with Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman, a therapist, healer, and author of the new book, The Eternal Bond: Daughters Honor Their Mothers on the Other Side. Set against the backdrop of a powerful cosmic alignment with Mercury and several other planets in retrograde, this conversation serves as a cosmic doorway to explore the profound, continuing bonds we share with our loved ones after they pass, with a special focus on the sacred mother-daughter relationship. Dr. Roseman shares insights from her research and the 20 moving narratives featured in her book, shedding light on the reality of post-death communication, the importance of honoring your unique grief journey without a timeline, and the ways we can continue to feel the love and presence of our mothers. This episode is a comforting and validating resource for anyone navigating the complex path of grief, offering hope and empowering listeners to embrace the idea that the connections of love are truly eternal. Key Topics & Highlights Grief as a Taboo Topic: Dr. Roseman discusses why our culture struggles to talk about death and grief, often leaving the bereaved without support when they need it most. Supernatural Signs & Connections: The conversation normalizes the experience of receiving signs, messages, and feeling the presence of loved ones who have passed. These are not things to be dismissed but are a common and sacred part of the grieving process. There is No Timeline for Grief: Both Terri and Dr. Roseman emphasize that healing from loss is not linear and has no deadline. They share personal stories to validate the need for individuals to grieve at their own pace. The Myth of "Letting Go": Dr. Roseman passionately refutes the common advice to "let go" of the deceased, arguing that this is harmful and untrue. Instead, she advocates for continuing the bond and the relationship in a new way. Empowering Healthcare Professionals: A key mission of Dr. Roseman's work is to better educate doctors and therapists on the needs of grieving patients, encouraging more compassionate and holistic care that goes beyond medication. Finding the Right Support: The episode provides valuable advice on how to find a therapist who can truly support your grief journey, including the importance of interviewing them to ensure their philosophies align with yours. Notable Quotes Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "Grief is a very difficult topic and unfortunately in our culture, it's also a taboo topic. You know, no one really wants to talk about it... I think they don't know what to say or what to do and it frightens them." Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "It's very normal for people after the death of a loved one, especially someone they were very close to, to have these kind of extra sensory experiences. It's just not something that we talk about." Terri Ann Hyman: "There is no time on grief... I allowed myself all of that time to grieve. And I think that's important for people to hear." Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "I hate the verbiage, you know, like, 'you have to let her go.' I was told if I didn't do that, I was somehow impeding my mother's progress on the other side, which is total bullshit... How do they know what's going on on the other side?" Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "Knowing that that connection is there forever and one doesn't have to relinquish it is incredibly empowering." Resources Mentioned Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman's Book: The Eternal Bond: Daughters Honor Their Mothers on the Other Side is available now. Published by Llewellyn.

Episode 374: Mind Over Magic - The Psychology of Rituals with Richard Kaczynski Episode Description We stand in the most mystical time of the year—the season when the veil between worlds grows gossamer thin. From October 31st through November 2nd, we traverse sacred ground through Halloween, Samhain, All Saints' Day, and Día de los Muertos. In this powerful episode, we shift our focus from the hands-on practice of Reiki to explore the psychology behind ritual and magic itself. Join host Terri Ann Heiman as she welcomes Richard Kaczynski, PhD, author of Mind Over Magic: The Psychology of Rituals, for a fascinating conversation about how our beliefs shape our reality and how understanding the psychological mechanisms behind spiritual practices can help us get the most out of them. Guest Bio Richard Kaczynski is a lifetime student and writer on Western Esotericism and an authority on the life and works of Aleister Crowley. He is the author of Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley and editor of Crowley's The Sword of Song. Richard holds a PhD in psychology with a minor in statistics, and his doctoral dissertation examined the structure and correlates of metaphysical beliefs. His latest book, Mind Over Magic: The Psychology of Rituals, explores how psychological research can illuminate spiritual practices across all traditions. Key Topics Discussed The Journey from Psychology to Magic •Richard's lifelong interest in alternative spiritualities and how it led him to pursue psychology •The disappointment of not finding a "grand unified theory" in graduate school •How 30 years of research revealed a jigsaw puzzle of psychological insights about spiritual practices •The intersection of social psychology, statistics, and esoteric traditions Childhood Mystical Experiences •Richard's childhood encounter with an unexplainable figure in suburban Detroit •How these experiences are actually common parts of human experience, not aberrations •The importance of normalizing conversations about unexplainable phenomena •How transformative experiences can fundamentally change personality and worldview Pattern Recognition and Discernment •Humans as pattern-seeking creatures (Gestalt psychology) •The concept of "agenticity"—seeing agency or cause behind random events •How this cuts both ways: believers may see patterns that aren't there, while skeptics miss patterns that are •Walking the middle path between accepting everything and rejecting everything •The critical importance of discernment in spiritual practice Defining Magic (with a K) •Why Richard chose to spell it "magick" (following Aleister Crowley's distinction from stage magic) •Crowley's definition: "the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will" •Magic as any intentional act—from casting circles to saying grace before meals •How this broad definition encompasses practices across all spiritual traditions •The science versus the art of magical practice The Power of Mindfulness in Practice •Why being present is essential to getting benefits from any spiritual practice •The danger of going through the motions without true engagement •Examples: meditation while distracted, saying prayers automatically, greeting the sun mindlessly •How mindfulness amplifies the effectiveness of ritual work Group Ritual and Synchronous Behavior •Research on synchronous behavior and its psychological effects •How brainwave patterns synchronize when people engage in activities together •The positive evaluation of others when in sync (drum circles, group recitation, etc.) •The unique benefits of both solitary and group practice •Why the real work ultimately happens in private, individual practice= The Psychological Levers of Ritual •How various ritual elements manipulate psychological mechanisms •The role of special garments, implements (bells, wands, tarot cards), sacred space •Creating the "liminal space" where magic happens •Understanding these levers helps us access transformative states more easily •Science explaining what many practitioners have always known Evolution and Transformation •How ritual practices help us evolve into the best version of ourselves •Breaking free from fixed personality traits through transformative experiences •The importance of going within rather than surface living •Recognizing and breaking repetitive patterns •Raising consciousness creates a ripple effect that touches everyone around us The Modern Metaphysical Community •How the internet and social media have made spiritual communities more accessible •The danger of siloing within specific traditions •The importance of attending conferences and events outside your tradition •The challenge of maintaining brick-and-mortar metaphysical spaces •The growth of metaphysical awareness and openness in recent decades Science Meets Spirituality •How psychology validates spiritual practices without explaining away the mystery •The value of scientific understanding for skeptics •Why we don't need to choose between "woo" and science •Using the scientific method to evaluate your own spiritual work •Understanding enhances practice; it doesn't diminish the magic Key Quotes Richard Kaczynski: "By understanding the role of psychology in the practices that we undertake in our spirituality, we can get the most out of those practices. And to the extent to which our spirituality is aimed at inner transformation, raising our consciousness, becoming the best version of ourselves, we can do that more effectively through that understanding." "You're not stuck being who you are right now. You can actually evolve yourself through these practices, and they're transformative." "I don't claim to explain what happens in that liminal space. It's that liminal space where the magic happens. But these psychological tools give us access to that space and make it easier to get there." Terri Ann Heiman: "We each have the power to go within and facilitate our own transformation, and in doing so, we raise not only our consciousness, but create a ripple effect that touches all those around us."

When we're seeking inner transformation—raising our consciousness and evolving into the best version of ourselves—this understanding becomes essential. It allows us to engage more intentionally and effectively with the rituals and practices that serve our growth. This is especially potent during this sacred season when the veil between worlds is thin and we're more open to receiving messages, signs, and the deeper truth of our soul's journey. May this season of darkness illuminate your path inward. Thanks for listening! To your Spirit, Terri

In this episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, host Terri Ann Heiman continues the journey from last week's exploration of the thinning veils by grounding us in the physical transitions of fall. Terri delves into the profound wisdom that nature offers through the cycles of the seasons, particularly focusing on the powerful metaphor of how trees release their leaves. She explores the direction of the West, the Earth element, and the duality of fall as both a time of harvest and release. The episode features a guided meditation, channeled messages for this season of change, and an invitation to let go of what no longer serves us so we can begin anew. Key Topics Discussed The Transitions of Fall: An exploration of the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts we experience as the seasons change and how our Spirit naturally pulls inward from the activities of summer. The Direction of the West: Understanding the West as the place where the sun sets, representing gratitude for life's lessons, acknowledgment of struggles, and recognition of the harvest and abundance available to us. The Duality of Autumn: Embracing both the celebration of plenty and the melancholy of preparation, grief, and the shortening days as fields are plowed and the earth prepares for rest. The Earth Element: Learning how the Earth element grounds us to our physical presence and shows us what can be shed and what we must let go of during this season. Living Trees vs. Dead Trees: The profound teaching that living trees naturally release their leaves, trusting the cycle and preparing for new growth, while dead trees hold onto withered leaves because there is no life force moving through them. This powerful metaphor reveals how we either flow with life's transitions or remain stuck in old patterns. Four Channeled Messages for This Season: •Rethink the structures that have upheld your life •Keep it simple •Give everything a review •Don't even think about apologizing for who you are Guided Meditation: A meditation journey that includes grounding with the Earth element, connecting with the West direction, visualizing the release of old patterns through falling leaves, receiving channeled messages, and setting intentions for the season ahead. Memorable Quotes "Our Spirit begins to pull in from all the activities of summer, and this energy can feel both refreshing and exciting." "The West is a time of gratitude for all of life's lessons. This is the place where we notice our struggles." "Fall is symbolic of plenty, ripening, harvest, and abundance." "The entire autumn season is a time of melancholy, preparation, and grief." "A living, healthy tree naturally releases its leaves when the season changes. It doesn't hold on. It doesn't resist. It trusts the cycle." "A dead tree holds onto its withered, brown leaves. They stay there, stuck, clinging to the branches through winter, through spring, sometimes for years." "When we're truly alive, truly connected to our spirit and the natural rhythms of life, we can release what no longer serves us." "When we're stuck, when we're holding onto fear or pain or the familiar comfort of 'the way things have always been,' we become like that dead tree." "Are you a living tree, willing to release and trust the seasons of your life? Or are you holding onto dead leaves, stuck in old patterns, resisting the very transitions that would bring you new life?" "Rethink the structures that have upheld your life. What foundations are you built upon? Are they still serving your highest good?" "Keep it simple. Let go of the unnecessary complications and find the beauty in simplicity." "Give everything a review. This is a time for honest assessment, not for judgment. Simply notice." "Don't even think about apologizing for who you are. You are a unique and beautiful expression of the divine." "You must release the old so you can begin anew." Resources & Links Schedule a Complimentary Spiritual Upgrade Call. Feeling lost in these transitions? Finding it difficult to let go?

I was not trained to do it... I knew how to learn. A humanities education taught me how to learn. So I just learned on the job." How Lanier Met Lilly •In 2009, when President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, Lanier's husband suggested the story •When Lanier first called Lilly, she was overwhelmed with media attention and said: "I'm up to my knees in alligators" and hung up •Lanier gathered her courage, called back, and interviewed Lilly for a magazine article •This became the beginning of their relationship and eventually the book •Lanier's belief: "As writers, as artists... the universe, I could not have planned that."

I mean, we're just human." •Balance needed: As artists, the creative meditation is valuable, but if it's your livelihood, you also need to consider practical outcomes •Writing and art are forms of meditation and ways to get out of the daily grind while serving a purpose On Being a Writer •Shared quote: "A writer is someone who basically must be left alone to write, but wants a cult following." •"You gotta get out and do the dog and pony show if you get a cult following." •"I need a lot of time to myself, but if it's only for myself, what good is it?"

It continues on. When we can be aware of the past, and how it is affecting us in the present, it can help us to shift and grow with our Soul for our future. The Soul continues on long after we drop the physical body. It is quite fascinating and that is why I work with the Akashic Healing Method for Breaking cycles and bridging the timelines of past, present, and future. We can all discover and grow with the energy of our Soul. Be sure to check out Andy and Reena's work. Want to know how you can get started on your own spiritual journey?
