Soul Elevation: Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights

What is energy healing really, and how do you know whether a practitioner is truly aligned?
In this grounded and practical conversation, Kara Goodwin sits down with Joanna Draus to explore how spiritual healing works, what healing can address beyond physical symptoms, and why discernment matters so much in today's energy healing space. Joanna shares her perspective on 5D healing, higher realms, intuitive healing, and the difference between authentic spiritual support and fear-based manipulation.
This episode is especially helpful for anyone who is curious about energy work, unsure how to choose a healer, or wanting to better understand what happens in a healing session. Kara and Joanna also discuss Reiki, certifications, online healing, paying for healing work, common misconceptions, spiritual laws, and the red flags to watch for when navigating the world of spiritual practitioners.
They also share details about their upcoming group healing event on May 16, 2026. Learn more here: https://www.karagoodwin.com/joanna 
In this episode, you'll hear about:
- what energy healing and spiritual healing actually are
- emotional, energetic, and subconscious patterns that can be cleared
- how 5D energies support healing and ascension
- why intuition matters more than certifications alone
- energy healing red flags and green flags
- what to expect in an in-person or virtual healing session
- whether healers should charge for their work
- how to choose the right practitioner for you
- the role of higher self, grace, and the law of oneness in healing
Joanna Draus is an energy channeler, healer, spiritual teacher, and multidimensional guide who supports people in clearing dense energies and embodying more love, light, and alignment.

They want you to feel powerless. They need you to feel small. But your awakening is the one thing they can't account for.
Join Kara Goodwin of Soul Elevation for this livestream conversation about one of the most urgent spiritual truths of our time: your individual consciousness is not small or irrelevant, and the future is not helpless. YOU and your consciousness are one of the most powerful forces operating on Earth right now.
The dark agenda is real. The systems designed to keep humanity distracted, divided, and energetically depleted are pervasive. And looking at the surface of things, it can certainly feel hopeless. 
But here's the cosmic truth the dark forces don't want you to know:
Every soul that awakens strips away another thread of their control. Every person who reclaims their sovereignty withdraws consent from the artificial matrix. Every individual who steps fully into their own power starves the darkness of its very energy source. 
Control only works on a sleeping consciousness.
In this livestream we'll explore:
- Why your personal spiritual awakening is simultaneously a planetary act
- How sovereign, awakened consciousness literally dismantles control systems
- How individual energy withdrawal collapses collective dark structures
- What it practically means to "disengage from the artificial matrix" and how to begin
- Why you are a necessary, irreplaceable part of the Great Awakening 
This message is grounded in the energetics of consciousness, the nature of power, and the cosmic transformation already underway. You are needed. You are powerful. And your awakening is the one weapon the dark agenda never saw coming.
This is the previous livestream I mentioned that will give you more background on this topic: https://youtube.com/live/obXK2waYQ_A

Are you experiencing a strong sense of spiritual awakening and wondering if you are a starseed? 
Many starseeds feel an intense connection to the universe and a deep desire to fulfill their starseed mission. Those who identify as indigo children or crystal children often exhibit starseed signs, such as a strong intuition and a feeling of not belonging to this world. 
As we journey through the process of ascension, it's common to experience a range of spiritual awakening signs, from feeling a sudden surge in creativity to experiencing vivid dreams and visions. If you are a Lyran starseed, Pleiadian starseed, Arcturian starseed, or Andromedan (like me!), you may be experiencing a unique set of signs and symptoms that are guiding you towards your higher purpose. 
In this video, we will explore some signs that could suggest you are a starseed, and provide guidance on how to navigate your spiritual awakening and fulfill your starseed mission. 
Get the insight and guidance you need to understand your place in the universe and fulfill your spiritual potential.
