LightSong School of 21st-Century Shamanism and Energy Medicine Talking Stick Podcast

S2 E7 Talking Stick Podcast – 12-20-25 – Emotional Regulation and Divinity In this reflective episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, Micah Schwader and Jan Engels-Smith begin with a beautiful invocation, calling in benevolent allies, opening the blessing fields, and inviting listeners into a global circle—heart to heart—so the conversation can unfold from the wisdom of the heart. From there, Micah shares a breakthrough sparked by a leadership program: the idea that we often "have what we want" because we've been unconsciously creating it, driven by hidden attachments and "mind-chatter story." A deep values exercise reveals something surprising—Micah's top values include financial freedom and creative expression—and that insight exposes an internal mismatch: pushing away clients wasn't failure… it was an unconscious attempt to make space for his next chapter. Jan expands the teaching through a spirit-led story about manifestation, reminding us that we live in an attraction-based universe—what we focus on (even what we don't want) grows. Together they explore attachment, "unraveling" old dreams, and reclaiming energy from outdated identities so it can fuel the new. The episode then turns toward emotional regulation as the practical companion to spiritual growth: the "swirl" of daily chaos, the snowball effect of frustration, and the importance of pausing—breathing, sweeping energy off, shifting from sympathetic fight-or-flight into parasympathetic flow. They discuss how quickly we can change our broadcast, how stories harden into identity, and why true transformation begins with self-awareness. The conversation closes with encouragement to know thyself, honor the medicine wheel's full cycle (including the West and North—introspection and letting go), and create space for solitude, journaling, and inner listening. Jan offers a blessing for the new year—"Miracles come quick in 2026"—inviting listeners to choose differently, step into alignment, and welcome the next evolution. 25 hashtags (no numbers): #LightSong #TalkingStickPodcast #JanEngelsSmith #Shamanism #EnergyMedicine #Invocation #BlessingFields #SpiritualAllies #Manifestation#MicahSchwader  #AttractionBasedUniverse #MindChatter #SneakyBeliefs #SubconsciousBeliefs #Attachment #ValuesExercise #FinancialFreedom #CreativeExpression #Alignment #MedicineWheel #KnowThyself #EmotionalRegulation #NervousSystem #Breathwork #SpontaneousEvolution For more information about Micah's memoir, Stumbling Into Grace: The Adventures of a Transgender Shaman, visit ShamanSezz.com/stumbling-into-grace-the-book/ Gratitude donation- If you would like to make a donation to Jan Engels-Smith and keep Manifesting Miracles active please use Venmo @Jan-Engels-Smith or contact Jan with other payment options [email protected]     Manifesting Miracles:  This podcast is in a series of gatherings that are held bi-monthly on zoom calls.  Participants from around the world that are interested in making positive changes in their life: career, relationship, health and finances are on this call.  Jan starts this series with the most important tips in conscious manifestation.  If you want the world to change, if you want your situation to change you must change within.  You must become an energetic match for the things that you desire.

S2 E5 ReCreate: The 21-Day Super Self Transformation — Markers, Miracles & Whole-Brain Living This episode is offered as an extra feature for our ReCreate Manifesting Miracles community. The group practiced the Super Self Meditation for 21 days, giving their right brain consistent "airtime" to experience true vibrational shifts. What emerged were profound transformations, energetic markers, emotional breakthroughs, and deep personal insights. In this heartfelt, expansive follow-up gathering, participants share their real-life experiences of shifting realities, dissolving fear, healing relationships, increasing joy, and learning how whole-brain living can elevate every aspect of their lives. Jan offers teachings on markers, vibrational alignment, memory and ego, the power of love over tools, ancestral fear patterns, past-life imprints, and the lifelong lifestyle of right-brain engagement. It is a rich, intimate conversation about becoming the new human — whole-brained, heart-centered, and vibrationally aware. Lifestyle vs. Practice Jan emphasizes: This is not a 21-day practice. This is a lifestyle of vibrational awareness, choice, intention, and right-brain airtime. Every challenge is an opportunity to evolve and rise.   Link to the SuperSelf Meditation https://www.lightsong.net/product/superself-meditation/  Gratitude donation- If you would like to make a donation to Jan Engels-Smith and keep Manifesting Miracles active please use Venmo @Jan-Engels-Smith or contact Jan with other payment options [email protected]     Manifesting Miracles:  This podcast is in a series of gatherings that are held bi-monthly on zoom calls.  Participants from around the world that are interested in making positive changes in their life: career, relationship, health and finances are on this call.  Jan starts this series with the most important tips in conscious manifestation.  If you want the world to change, if you want your situation to change you must change within.  You must become an energetic match for the things that you desire.

Talking Stick Podcast — "Right Brain, Left Brain, and the Ego: Becoming Whole-Brained Humans" – 11-15-25 In this thought-provoking episode of the Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah "MJ" Schwader explore the balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain—and how this balance influences creativity, intuition, and spiritual connection. The episode opens with a beautiful invocation from Jan, guiding listeners to rise above the densities of worry, frustration, and doubt into the realms of pure light, love, and truth. From there, Jan and Micah discuss the wisdom of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, whose groundbreaking insights on brain hemispheres validate what shamanic teachings have long known: energy work isn't "woo-woo"—it's whole-brain living. Highlights include: How modern culture's left-brain dominance limits our spiritual and creative potential. The relationship between the ego and the left brain, and how ego stories keep us in fear. Ways to reawaken the right brain through shamanic journeying, writing, art, and presence. The link between heart consciousness and right-brain awareness. Why imagination, intuition, and emotion are not illusions—but vital spiritual faculties. Reflections on psychedelics, plant medicine, and alternative paths to expanded awareness. Practical ways to live as a whole-brained human, integrating logic with intuition, and self with spirit. Jan and Micah remind us that wholeness begins with awareness—that our natural state is one of presence, gratitude, and connection to the living field of creation.
