Modern Science and Sacred Practice

We’re living in a time where ancient practices are now being explained by modern science - and its changing our modern world. In this episode, I’m joined by Myranda Heipel, founder of The Yogi Social, whose mission is to bridge yoga’s ancient wisdom with the neuroscience behind it. We talk about what happens when you understand the why behind a practice, how visualization, breath, sound, and movement reshape the brain; how safety and stillness regulate the nervous system; and why the same mechanisms that make hypnosis work are alive in yoga, meditation, and every embodied ritual humans have ever done. This is a conversation about integration — between logic and intuition, science and spirit, body and mind. It’s about the tools we’ve had for thousands of years… and the language that’s finally catching up to explain them.

Astrology & The New Paradigm: A Deep Dive with Sarah Basha

What does it mean to live in alignment with cosmic timing? In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Basha, astrologer, mentor, and doula for the new age—for a wide-ranging conversation on astrology as a tool for navigating the current shift in consciousness. Sarah shares how astrology can serve not just as a lens for insight, but as a framework for faith—a way to trust the unfolding of your life and understand the deeper architecture of both personal and collective evolution. We explore Pluto’s transition into Aquarius, Saturn’s movement through Aries, and what these larger archetypal shifts reveal about the moment we’re in. Throughout the conversation, Sarah speaks to the power of the hermit year, the rise of feminine leadership through the lens of Chinese astrology, and the practice of reclaiming joy—even amidst collapse, uncertainty, and rebirth. We also talk about the role of community, the importance of finding your people, the magic of synchronicity, and how to use your astrological chart as a living map for healing, direction, and alignment. Whether you’re fluent in astrology or just beginning to explore it, this episode invites you into a deeper conversation—about time, self, and the new paradigm we’re stepping into together.

The Power They Tried to Bury: Reawakening Divine Feminine Leadership: Ep 15

What if everything you’ve been taught about leadership, productivity, and success… was based on a masculine model that women were not designed to follow? In this episode of Out of the Trance, I sit down with Philine Kok- emotional alchemist, entrepreneur, and founder of Mmm Cacao for a deep, soul-level conversation about Divine Feminine Leadership and the reawakening of long-suppressed wisdom. We trace the thread from burnout and body betrayal… to remembering the forgotten template of feminine power…the one that’s rising again. We talk nervous system regulation, real-time emotional alchemy, and what happens when you stop performing… and start listening. Inside this episode: * What The Secret got right (and what it left out) * How to stop recreating success that drains you * Why your rest is your revolution and your greatest business strategy * Why most women are still afraid of their own power (and what to do about it) * Emotional alchemy as a fast path to freedom—and the nervous system as our new business coach * Co-creation, spiritual responsibility, and the fear that arises when we remember how powerful we truly are * The long-buried wisdom of Mary Magdalene, and the Nag Hamadi texts found in Egypt If you’ve been feeling the call to lead differently- to lead from love, intuition, and deep body wisdom- this conversation will feel like a homecoming.

Breaking the map: Why hypnotherapy is the tool we all need now-Ep 14

This one goes deep. I’m joined by Anthony Kaprielian —fellow hypnotherapist, podcaster, and someone who’s been in the trenches helping high-level performers, politicians, and everyday humans wake up from the mental programming that keeps them stuck. We talk about what most people don’t realize: You’re already hypnotized. You’ve been following a map that may have nothing to do with who you really are. And in a world increasingly shaped by AI, algorithms, and external influence, the ability to reprogram your mind intentionally isn’t just powerful—it’s essential. This conversation unpacks what happens when you shift your identity at the subconscious level—and why so many people are burning out, self-sabotaging, or silently screaming for more… because they’re running on outdated code. We cover everything from victim consciousness and internalized authority to subconscious healing, nervous system rewiring, and the kind of confidence that only comes when you stop living someone else’s story. If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts aren’t entirely your own—or like you’re stuck in a loop you didn’t choose—this one’s for you.   Time Stamps: 00:00 – Getting started + meeting of minds 00:22 – The chaos before clarity 01:21 – Coaching meets hypnosis: why it matters 03:22 – Identity, reality, and subconscious maps 05:38 – High-level stories of radical transformation 11:38 – Healing through the mind-body connection 19:17 – Reclaiming confidence by clearing blocks 25:56 – How shifting identity shifts everything 29:33 – Overcoming mental cages + stuck states 30:50 – Subconscious reprogramming, decoded 32:53 – From victim mode to inner authority 41:56 – Authority is an illusion.

From Breakup to Breakthrough: Minimalism, Freedom & Self-Discovery with Dave Danzeiser - Ep 13

In this episode of Out of the Trance, I sit down with my friend Dave David Danzeiser —my first guest of Season 2, set in Bali. Dave’s journey is anything but conventional. A decade ago, he walked away from a future in biomedical engineering, propelled by an eye-opening mushroom experience that set him on a path of travel, entrepreneurship, and radical self-inquiry. We explore his transition to minimalist travel, the profound lessons from a life-altering heartbreak, and the serendipitous encounters that shaped the work he does today. Dave shares how he now helps high-achieving men navigate heartbreak, rediscover purpose, and cultivate emotional freedom through intentional living and journaling. We also dive into the power of embracing change, seeking guidance, and practicing gratitude—and how these themes overlap with my own work in hypnotherapy, regression, and inner child healing. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on breaking free from societal scripts and designing a life that aligns with who you truly are. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time Stamps:  02:02 The Mushroom Experience and Life Changes 07:11 Planning a Year-Long Trip 08:52 Creative Ways to Fund Travel 16:06 First Steps in Affiliate Marketing 29:01 The Power of Journaling 41:38 Exploring the Unknown: The Power of Self-Reflection 42:24 Intentional Practices for Personal Growth 42:39 Helping Men Through Heartbreak 45:34 Connecting Mind and Body: The Role of Somatic Awareness 48:25 The Journey of Self-Development 52:50 The Power of Asking for Help 58:49 Collapsing Time: A New Perspective on Healing 01:09:28 Freedom and Purpose: Living Your Dharma 01:13:30 The Importance of Somatic Guidance 01:21:45 Conclusion: Embracing the Journey ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where to Find Dave: 🔗 Dave's website: https://www.thequestforawesome.com/offer 📸 Instagram: / journalanyway Connect with Me: 🌐 The Process Hypnosis https://www.theprocesshypnosis.com 📸 Instagram: / theandreadebellis
