#156 How Arts, Creativity, and Spirituality Are Interwoven With Annalisa Burello

Following a fifteen year career in Investment Banking, Annalisa Burello retrained as a visual artist, attaining a BA in Photography at the University of Westminster in 2019. Currently, she is completing a Master’s degree in Anthropology – Religion in the Contemporary World at the London School of Economics. In 2021, the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology published her paper Awakening Experiences in Non-religious Contexts: Expanding the Ontology of Spirituality to Art and Nature as an independent scholar. In March 2022, with two other collaborators, Annalisa launched the Spirituality and the Arts Special Interest Group, a new initiative under the aegis of the International Network for the Studies of Spirituality. The aim of this initiative is to deepen our scholarly understanding of the relationship between the arts and the spiritual realm.

Annalisa discovered her thirst for spiritual learning after reading the book The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron, where the author makes an explicit and direct link between artistic creativity and spiritual exercises. These investigations brought her to inquire and later adopt meditation and yoga as a body-mind practice to access, release and sustain her own creativity. Her mission now is to promote the spiritual dimension of artistic practices for the general public and to support the creativity of budding art students through spiritual practices. 

In today’s episode, Annalisa Burello shares her insights on the beauty of art, creative energy, and the important role it plays in fostering a connection to our spirituality.

#150 Learning the Reality of the Afterlife on the Other Side of the Veil

I have the incredible honor of having Sonia Rinaldi on today’s episode. Sonia shares her evidential findings of the afterlife and the transformative impact this information can have on the consciousness of humanity. This episode contains a visual presentation which you can find on our YouTube channel through the following link: https://youtu.be/9QQfkjyR89c

Brazilian researcher Sonia Rinaldi, M.S., is helping people connect with loved ones in the afterlife by recording their voices. Having audio and video recordings of people living in the afterlife alleviates the bereavement of parents, spouses, and other loved ones grieving for someone who has died. And the tangible records of the voices and images of people now living in the afterlife provide compelling evidence that life continues after the body dies. That realization changes the people who hear and see their deceased loved ones and their attitude toward the normal life transition called death. As more people experience connecting with loved ones in this way, and as the audio and video recordings are broadcast and disseminated, people will realize that life doesn’t end at the transition from the earth. That realization will change people’s attitudes toward themselves and others and eventually change humankind.

#148 Somewhere Over the Rainbow With Renowned UK Medium Bill Thomson

William Thomson bio:

I was born and raised in Glasgow, and have been aware of the spirit world from the age of 10. My introduction into Spiritualism was through a friend’s mother who was a medium. I went to my first service at Kilmarnock Spiritualist church when I was 12 years old.

Until the age of 16, I stayed most weekends at my friend’s home and there had my introduction into how the spirit world communicates, firstly by being taught how to use psychometry, which is the reading of an object and then later connecting with the spirit world.

I left Glasgow at the age of 16 and joined the army where I stayed for 14 years.

After the passing of my parents, I returned to Glasgow and joined the Glasgow Association of Spiritualists where I develop my abilities as a medium. I served on the committee for many years as a member, vice president then President.

As a Minister of the Spiritualist National Union, which is the highest appointment within the SNU, I have achieved a great variety of awards of the Spiritualist National Union, holding Diplomas in Teaching, Public Speaking and academic B - Foundation, as well as Certificates of Recognition Teaching, Healing, Public Speaking and Demonstration. Long Service Award.

I am a Course Organiser and approved tutor of the Arthur Findlay College in Stansted near London.

My passion is in the teachings of Spirit, and helping others to experience this joy by carrying out services, seminars, private readings and private healing. My reward is working with others and seeing the joy in their faces as they develop an understanding of the mechanics of their mediumship and feeling the spirit world close to them.

I have a very special conversation with renowned UK medium, Bill Thomson on today’s episode. Bill shares with us how the events in his life unfolded that ultimately led him to a powerful connection with the spirit world and the beautiful soul lessons he has learned along the way. His message is inspiring, beautiful, and most of all, healing.

#147 Celebrating the Wisdom and Magic of Our Young Children With Jenny Adams

Jenny’s bio:

I’ve been a Shamanic Wellness Practitioner and Transformation Coach for over 15 years. It is my honor to guide you into Divine Self remembrance and reclaim Sacred wisdom that may have been forgotten in the amnesia of Earth Culture.

Shamanism? Really? How did that happen?

I was born in Perth, Western Australia as a highly sensitive empath and naturally held an understanding of the 'non-physical’ realms of consciousness. In my early teen years, my family moved to the United States and life began to unravel with the onset of family trauma. To emotionally survive, I tried to ‘turn down’ my intuition by funneling all my energies into competitive gymnastics. Sport became my life raft. But, at age 17, I suffered a broken back in a gymnastics competition and my life raft began to sink. Once unable to exercise, my body morphed into 'the fat suit' and I found myself in the war zone battling depression, anxiety, shameful thoughts, and deep in the binge/starve cycle of eating disorders. In an attempt to heal, I decided to reject expected scholarly pursuits and instead went on a spiritual walkabout to heal my soul's wounding.

In the years that followed, I trained with Priestesses and Shamans from many indigenous traditions, transpersonal psychologists, hypnotherapists, neuroscientists, and breath workers. As my own healing progressed, I began to channel different Goddess frequencies and developed a system of healing called The Feminine Frequency. This work guides individuals to release the conditioned pain/shame body, reclaim the shadow, and maximize the feminine-masculine balance within their own psyche. As an experienced transformation coach and facilitator, I draw upon my diverse training and life experience to look deep into your Soul plan, distill practical tools for self-transformation, and reignite authentic soulful living practices.

Together we peal the layers of the non-self through cutting edge nutrition therapy, guided dynamic breathwork, pointed and powerful meditations, Soul Regression hypnosis, and get your higher self back in the driver seat of your life.

LIVE ON PURPOSE

Education:

• B.S Neruo-Psychology & Comparative Religious Studies - University of Colorado

• Master Gardener, Permaculture Design

• Holistic Nutrition Counselor - Institute of Integrative Nutrition, New York

• Certified Soul Regression Hypnotherapist (PLSR & BLSR)

• Experienced Reiki Master and Teacher,

• Experienced Shamanic Wellness Practitioner

• Certified Massage Therapist - MTIC, Colorado

• Biodynamic Breath work and Trauma Release System - Level 4 Facilitator

I have a beautiful conversation with Jenny Adams on today's episode about the wisdom children bring into the world and how we as adults can learn to reconnect with our inner child essence.

Lisa has also written Cante Bardo, Veil, Diet for a Broken Heart and Lessons in Lullabies.

'WORDS AT THE THRESHOLD' BY LISA SMARTT, MA

A person’s last words can often be enigmatic, confusing or powerfully meaningful; they can also offer tantalizing clues about the ultimate fate of the human soul. Until now, no author has systematically studied end-of-life communication by collecting and analyzing the final utterances of the terminally ill. When her father faced his final weeks, linguist Lisa Smartt began transcribing his conversations and noticed that both his language and personality underwent inexplicable changes. Smartt’s father, a skeptical man with a secular worldview, developed a deeply spiritual outlook in his final days — a change reflected in his last words. Baffled and intrigued, Smartt began to investigate the near-death utterances of others, collecting over a hundred case studies with interviews and transcripts. In Words at the Threshold, Smartt decodes the symbolism of those last words, showing how the language of the dying points the way to a transcendent world beyond our own.

In today’s episode, I am incredibly honored and humbled to interview Dr. Raymond Moody and Lisa Smartt. They so beautifully share with us a glimpse into their extensive research and the evidence that has made them believe in the continuity of consciousness.
