A Little Thing We Like to Call... Consent

A Little Thing We Like to Call... Consent

In this episode Lisa and Laurea discuss consent as it relates to energy work, physical touch, and spiritual practices and begin by asking whether energy should ever be sent to someone without permission, and agree that consent is essential. The ladies talk about examples from yoga, Reiki, and other healing settings, including adjustments or interventions that can feel invasive when they are done without asking. They also share personal experiences of receiving work without consent and how unsettling that felt. Laurea then extends the conversation to animals, babies, children, and people who cannot consent directly, such as someone in a coma. In those cases, she suggests asking permission from caregivers and from the person’s higher self or subconscious, and both note that they do this before offering any healing or communication. They also discuss mediumship and spontaneous messages from spirit or animals and say that when information comes through unexpectedly, you still need to be careful about whether and how to share it, and first ask the living person whether they want to receive it. Another topic is working with someone’s subconscious during energy sessions and checking whether a person actually needs help at that time, and Laurea shares an example where the subconscious indicated that no further work was needed and the body was already processing what it needed to process. Lisa brings up the topic of using energy in spaces or situations, such as cars, conversations, or yoga classes, to support clear communication or safety and they close by emphasizing personal space and the importance of asking before touching anyone, including in medical settings.

Sacred Shamanism with Valarie Zuvuya

Lisa and Laurea speak with Valarie Zavuya, who has more than 25 years of experience in shamanic energy healing, mediumship, past life work, herbal medicine, Reiki, and related practices. They discuss her background, the range of certifications and trainings she has completed, and how she came to this work through early experiences with spirit communication and past life readings. The trio discuss what a shaman is, how different shamanic traditions vary around the world, and the common themes Valarie sees across them, including compassion, sacred space, and helping clients release pain. She also describes her work with Lakota teachings, pipe carrying, sweat lodges, and other Native traditions, as well as her approach of working carefully and respectfully. They explore the kinds of clients who seek Valarie's help and the issues they bring to her, including spiritual distress, ancestral patterns, curses, hexes, and soul fragmentation. Valarie explains how she approaches these situations through present-moment work, remote sessions, and what she describes as ancestral healing that can affect both the client and family lines across time. Valarie talks about integration after sessions, including soul retrieval and the period clients may need to absorb the work. She describes how people sometimes recover lost memories, interests, or creative abilities after these sessions and overall changes people may notice afterward.

Talking Dogs, Ghostly Girls, Water Signs and a Nosey Owl: Animal Communication with Lindsey Ashcraft

In this episode Lisa and Laurea speak with Lindsay Ashcraft, an Emmy award-winning former TV news producer who now runs an animal communication business called Paws and Listen. They discuss how they each approach animal communication sessions, often starting with only basic details, and how impressions can come through as felt senses, inner knowing, images, or words. They also talk about self-doubt, the importance of trusting first impressions, and how different practitioners can receive different parts of the same situation. Each of them share examples from sessions involving a dog afraid of an owl, a horse that indicated its preferred name, and other cases where animals seemed to communicate health concerns or ask for help. They also discuss the idea that animals communicate through energy rather than human language, and close with a few lighter stories from sessions, including one about a dog reacting to music and another involving a deceased dog described as being with other pets in a meadow.

Energy Healing & Angels: After Near Death Experience with Thomas Gates

Thomas Gates returns to discuss the healing abilities he says emerged after his near-death experience, including a first healing case with his girlfriend’s ankle and the method he later termed “Healing Spectrums for Health and Wholeness.” He describes seeing color as frequency, acting as a facilitator rather than a healer, and viewing emotions and trauma as physiological processes that can be addressed through stillness and specific brainwave states. The conversation with Lisa and Laurea also covers his beliefs about angelic presence, including healing angels, a watcher angel, and a guardian angel he says protected him in a dangerous situation. He concludes by saying his healing sessions are safe because they do not force change, but instead support coherence in the body and consciousness.
