#255 Ancestral Trauma and Mediumship with Isabella Skrypczak

Host Johnny Burke interviews Isabella Skrypczak, a light worker, channeler, and founder of Iza Clara Healing, about mediumship and how unprocessed ancestral trauma repeats across generations and resurfaces in modern conflicts. Isabella describes sensing spirits since childhood, including great-grandparents and later broader ancestral lineages and “ghosts of the lands,” and explains that unresolved emotions can remain as residual energy in the family field and also pass physically through epigenetics. She links somatic therapy to energy work, describing how unprocessed emotions can lodge in the body and contribute to issues like liver problems, asthma, stiff hips, and depression. She discusses visions tied to World War II suffering in Poland and translating her grandmother’s memoir about deportation to Siberia in 1940, framing her work as clearing ancestral trauma, guiding earthbound spirits to the light, and following guidance and “downloads” about escalating European conflict and her focus in North America in 2026. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:34 Early Spirit Encounters 02:12 Ancestors and Land Energy 03:36 How Trauma Lingers 06:36 Somatic Healing Tools 08:34 WWII Visions in Poland 12:50 Siberia Memoir and Gulags 14:58 Releasing the Family Field 17:13 Guides and Soul Contracts 18:42 Earthbound Spirits and Places 21:26 Past Lives and Karmic Clearing 22:51 Prophetic Downloads and Europe 27:40 Mediumship Styles Explained 28:59 Masculine Feminine Healing 31:28 Ancestral Patterns Today 34:21 Why This Work Matters Now 35:16 Celestial Help and Closing  https://www.izaclarahealing.com/ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2319930/support]

#254 Kundalini Awakening, ET Contact and The SoulPod app with Crystal Cassidy

Host Johnny Burke interviews Crystal Cassidy, a scientist-mystic and founder of Soul Pod, about blending science and spirituality through her spiritual wellness app. Cassidy describes her analytical background in biochemistry, toxicology, and biotech alongside lifelong meditation that led to Kundalini/central channel activation and “oneness” experiences, which she parallels with surrender during her 2020 illness and near-death experience. She recounts premonitions before the pandemic, hospital quarantine, out-of-body states, and an encounter with a powerful, loving guide who worked on her energy centers, after which her intuitive abilities and ET contact accelerated. Cassidy explains Soul Pod as a personalized, structured 21-day journey using breathwork and meditation for nervous system regulation and consciousness development. She frames “New Earth” as a collective awakening into humanity’s interdimensional nature, with ET contact unfolding through grassroots individual relationships and “love and above” frequency. 00:00 Welcome And Guest Intro 00:30 Science Meets Mysticism 02:04 Kundalini And Oneness 03:01 NDE Parallels And Surrender 04:31 What Is Soul Pod 05:46 Building The App Journey 07:36 New Earth And Ascension Shift 09:13 Illness And Near Death Story 13:32 Abilities After The NDE 14:25 ET Contact Begins 15:25 Disclosure And Contact 18:31 Love Frequency Vs Dark ETs 22:18 Who Are The Guides 23:44 Modes Of ET Contact 25:26 Galactic Origins And Ancient Links 27:34 Wrap Up And Where To Find Crystal  http://soulpodapp.com  [http://soulpodapp.com] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2319930/support]

#253 My Near-Death Experience: Why Death Is an Illusion with Lorraine Kane

Host Johnny Burke interviews elementary school teacher, Reiki master, and author Lorraine Kane about her near-death experience after a head-on collision and how it reshaped her beliefs and work. Kane describes dying in the car, encountering a brilliant light and a voice that said “ take my hand“, rising above the accident scene with no attachment to her body, experiencing wordless oneness, a life review met with unconditional love rather than judgment, and being given a choice to return after seeing an image of her children. She recounts dying again en route to the hospital, undergoing extensive surgeries, and later hearing guidance and angelic music while recovering. Kane says the experience led her from born-again Christianity to energy healing, past-life regression experiences, and intuitive messages during Reiki sessions, and she argues fear fuels beliefs about death, which she views as a return “home.” 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:36 The Day of the Crash 01:01 Healing Journey and Reiki 01:59 Impact and Leaving the Body 04:24 Dark Voice and Calling to God 05:25 Light Hand and Out of Body View 07:17 Oneness and Life Review 09:02 Choice to Return and Resuscitation 11:44 Hospital Ordeals and Dying Again 12:51 Angelic Music and Clear Guidance 15:27 God vs Guides and How It Changed 17:03 Early Angel Encounter and Past Lives 19:54 Orbs and Mediumship Awakening 22:59 Reiki Messages and Validations 29:03 Death Is an Illusion 30:56 Where to Find Lorraine https://lorrainekane.com/ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2319930/support]

#252 Journeys Into Past Lives with Jonathan Robinson

Host Johnny Burke interviews certified hypnotherapist and Reiki practitioner Jonathan Robinson about his work in past life regression and spiritual hypnotherapy to uncover root causes of fears, anxieties, recurring emotional patterns, phobias, and unexplained birthmarks. Robinson describes how Reiki led him into hypnotherapy, how clients often access past lives (including off-planet experiences), and how sessions can include healing traumatic scenes and exploring the “life between lives,” spirit guides, and the higher self. He shares examples involving an energy-being origin, the Atlantis flooding and migration to Egypt, and a future-life progression set in 2110 featuring advanced transportation and technology. The discussion touches on parallels with near-death experiences, perceptions shaped by familiarity in the spirit realm, and beliefs about UFOs and disclosure. Robinson shares where to find him, his training offerings, and an upcoming hypnotherapy app. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:43 Why Past Life Regression 01:49 Reiki Meets Hypnotherapy 03:32 First Wild Regression Story 05:39 Time and Parallel Lives 06:23 Off Planet Past Lives 07:57 Atlantis, Egypt, and Lemuria 11:07 How Sessions Actually Work 12:41 Jonathan’s Own Past Life 14:51 Soul Groups and Life Planning 16:29 Between Lives Spirit Guide Temple 18:26 NDE Parallels and Life Review 19:37 Pastors as Channelers 20:26 Lost Psychic Abilities 22:17 Fear and Demonization 24:02 Demons and Deities 24:42 Spirit Forms and Readiness 26:21 Higher Self vs Guides 27:15 Future Life Progression 28:53 UFO Tech and Disclosure 32:25 Lessons from the Work 35:51 Finding Jonathan Online 38:16 Final Wrap Up https://journeysintopastlives.com/ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2319930/support]

#251 Somatic Alchemy and Waking Up From The Matrix with Elizabeth Stauder

Host Johnny Burke interviews post-trauma growth coach and “somatic alchemist” Elizabeth Stauder about integrating somatic trauma reprocessing neuroscience, shamanic ritual, and energy medicine to restore balance and “wake up from the matrix.” Stauder explains somatic alchemy as body-based transmutation of symptoms across physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual levels, and links it to dreamtime consciousness and lucid-like agency to work with chaotic dreams. She discusses shamanic initiation dreams, including a “great snake” dismemberment dream, the three worlds (lower/subconscious, middle/waking, upper/higher perspective), and “shaman’s sickness” as initiatory crisis that reveals weaknesses to be strengthened. As a transformation doula, she emphasizes facilitating clients’ own intuition rather than dependency. She shares an ancestral lineage healing example tied to her great-aunt’s death, and describes her neuroscience-based “organic intelligence” training as sustainable, threshold-aware pattern unwinding akin to “psychic surgery,” framing matrix release as shedding old patterns by reintegrating soul. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:34 Somatic Alchemy Explained 01:53 Dreamtime and Lucid States 03:16 Making Sense of Chaos Dreams 06:49 Shamanic Initiation Dreams 10:52 Three Worlds and Shaman Sickness 15:20 Transformation Doula and Sovereignty 18:36 Spirit Guides and Early Mysticism 21:04 Ancestral Lineage Healing Story 26:45 Beyond the Matrix Through Healing 32:46 Organic Intelligence and Thresholds 37:04 Animism and Dreamwork Revival 38:59 Closing Message and Where to Find Her https://www.bodyandsoulsanctuary.com/ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2319930/support]
