Gateways to Awakening

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Dr. Edith Ubuntu-Chan, Chinese medicine doctor, consciousness pioneer, founder of the Luminous Human Institute, and one of the leading voices exploring blindfold vision, intuition, and expanded human perception.
Dr. Edith shares the remarkable journey that led her into the world of blindfold vision after witnessing children seemingly perceive information beyond their ordinary senses. What began as curiosity evolved into years of research, training hundreds of families, and exploring how these practices may unlock far more than the ability to "see" without sight.
Together, Yasmeen and Edith explore the intersection of intuition, telepathy, consciousness, education, and the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence. They discuss why joy, play, coherence, and relaxed awareness appear to be essential ingredients for expanding human perception, and why cultivating our inner capacities may become one of the most important skills of the future.
In this conversation, you'll discover:
What blindfold vision (or Mindsight) is, and why it's about much more than seeing without eyesight

Why Edith believes intuition and expanded perception are innate human capacities

How children often access these abilities with remarkable ease

The surprising relationship between blindfold vision and telepathy

Why coherence, play, and curiosity unlock greater perception

How parents are transforming alongside their children through this work

What these practices reveal about education, consciousness, and human development

Why our greatest challenge in the age of AI may not be technological—but deeply human

How cultivating our "inner technology" may become one of the defining skills of the future

Whether you're curious about intuition, consciousness research, telepathy, education, or the next frontier of human potential, this conversation invites you to consider a profound question:

I'm celebrating my 300th episode today! 
I am also launching the ⁠⁠Gateways to Awakening Patreon community ⁠to share behind-the-scenes voice notes and live monthly online gatherings to process the episodes. [Just launched!]
I just returned from one of the most profound experiences I've had in years, a pilgrimage through Southern France exploring the teachings of Mary Magdalene with Dr. Nicola Amadora, renowned spiritual teacher, holistic psychologist, women's leader, author, and speaker. I was so deeply moved that I knew I had to invite her onto Gateways to Awakening.
In this conversation, we explore what it truly means to embody the Divine Feminine. We talk about why so much of modern spirituality has become disconnected from the body, our emotions, relationships, and the fullness of our humanity, and why awakening isn't about transcending our human experience, but learning to inhabit it more fully.
"You don't become enlightened by escaping your humanity. You become more fully alive by inhabiting it." - Dr. Nicola Amadora 
"Take your meditation cushion into the world." - Dr. Nicola Amadora 
Nicola shares a radically embodied perspective on spirituality, reminding us that the sacred isn't somewhere "out there" waiting for us to find it, it's already here, alive in our bodies, our hearts, our relationships, and the natural world. ​
​We also dive into the life and legacy of Mary Magdalene, her role as a teacher, healer, leader, and embodiment of the sacred feminine, and explore the history of the Cathars, the Way of Love, and why these teachings feel so relevant in the world today. Dr. Nicola also spent time with Mother Teresa, Amma, the Tibetans, Thich Nhat Hanh, and so many wisdom teachers, and is truly one of the most embodied teachers I've met.
In this episode, we explore:
What the Divine Feminine actually is, and why it's so often misunderstood

Why embodiment is essential to authentic awakening

The relationship between spirituality, shadow work, and emotional healing

How to move beyond spiritual bypassing and fully inhabit your humanity

Mary Magdalene's teachings and her role in restoring the sacred feminine

The Cathars, the Way of Love, and their extraordinary legacy

Why love isn't something we transcend into, it's something we embody

Dr. Nicola Amadora is an internationally renowned spiritual teacher, holistic psychologist, women's leader, author, and speaker who has spent more than 30 years guiding thousands of people worldwide in the revolutionary path of love, liberation, and embodied spirituality. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the feminine and the teachings of Mary Magdalene, her retreats, professional trainings, and transformative programs invite people to awaken their deepest life force and live from greater authenticity, courage, and compassion. 
She is the author of Love Unleashed and the founder of a global movement dedicated to the rise of the feminine, inspiring profound personal transformation and a more heart-centered world.

What if reality is far more malleable than we've been taught?
In this special episode of Gateways to Awakening, I'm sharing the opening preview from my audiobook, A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life.
This book is the culmination of over two decades of studying intuition, consciousness, kundalini and somatic yoga, meditation, evolutionary astrology, natural law, and human transformation. Along the way, I've come to believe that the most profound shifts don't begin by changing the outer world, they begin by changing the way we perceive it.
A Glitch in the Matrix explores how our attention, emotions, beliefs, and imagination shape the reality we experience. It offers a practical framework for recognizing unconscious patterns, reclaiming your energy, and creating a life that is more intentional, coherent, and aligned with your deepest knowing.
Whether you're new to this work or have been walking the path for years, I hope this preview offers a glimpse into the ideas that have transformed my own life and the lives of so many students I've had the privilege to work with.
If this resonates with you, I'd love for you to listen to the full audiobook and continue the journey with me.
Thank you, as always, for being part of this community.
