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

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.

Episode Title: Intuition, Prophecy & the Language of the Soul In this deeply heart-centered episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, co-hosts Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the many dimensions of intuition—its spiritual roots, psychological clarity, and poetic beauty. The conversation begins with a grounding invocation as Jan guides listeners into breath, presence, and the welcoming field of divine support. From there, Jan and Micah open a rich dialogue about intuition as the "quiet language of the soul," sharing their personal stories, shamanic experiences, and teachings on how intuitive knowing shows up in everyday life. They discuss: Three perspectives on intuition—spiritual, psychological, and poetic—and how they all point to the same inner truth. Right-brain intelligence and heart knowing, and why intuition bypasses logic to land as a calm, instant understanding. Prophetic dreams and shamanic guidance, including Micah's profound visions preceding Hurricane Katrina and his mother's passing, and Jan's experiences with claircognition and spirit-led dreaming. The repression of intuition and imagination throughout history—especially through patriarchal structures and the Inquisition—and the modern reclaiming of these innate "superpowers." Telepathy, energy communication, and shamanic tools, from tarot to dream travel to everyday intuitive hits. How creators, writers, and healers access intuition—including Micah's examples of subconscious flow writing and the moment when words arrive from a deeper realm of knowing. Together, they illuminate intuition not as a mysterious gift for a select few, but as an ancient human ability that lives within all of us—one that can guide, warn, inspire, and connect us with spirit, with nature, and with each other. This episode invites you to recognize the intuitive moments woven throughout your life, to trust the quiet voice within, and to remember that you are supported by both seen and unseen allies on your Earth walk. Aho and enjoy the journey.   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.

S1 E36 - The Bigger Picture - LightSong Tlaking Stick Podcast In this illuminating episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader invite listeners to rise above the noise of daily life and glimpse the bigger picture—that vast web of connection, energy, and meaning that shapes our experiences beyond what the eye can see. The episode opens with a grounding invocation that lifts us from the "densities of Earth" into the frequencies of light, love, and awareness. From there, Jan and Micah explore how every challenge, synchronicity, and belief carries purpose—threads in a much larger tapestry of the soul. Through stories drawn from Jan's decades of shamanic healing and soul-retrieval work, she reveals how unseen energetic patterns—vows, attachments, and forgotten choices—can quietly influence health, relationships, and abundance. Micah reflects on his own lifelong awareness of signs in nature, the patterns revealed through writing and reflection, and how perspective transforms hardship into insight. Together they weave shamanic wisdom, storytelling, and personal experience into a rich conversation about karma, energetic law, and human evolution—reminding us that what we perceive as coincidence is often divine design. Highlights include: A guided invocation to raise your vibration into the "purities of light, love, and truth." How recurring life patterns and relationships reveal soul-level lessons. Stories of energy healing, vows, and the unseen roots of illness. Transforming limiting beliefs through conscious choice and "airtime." The medicine wheel's teaching of the eagle—seeing life from a higher perspective. The playful intelligence of the universe and how to recognize its signs.

S1 E35 - Breath, Belief & The Quiet Power of Kindness - Manifesting Miracles Manifesting Miracles Host: Jan Engels-Smith In this heartfelt gathering, Jan opens with a guided, intentional-breathing practice—inviting listeners to "bring in the new, let go of the old," and to embody gratitude as a felt sensation rather than a thought. What follows is a living conversation about raising personal vibration through small, consistent acts: smiles to strangers, opening a door, pausing to notice beauty, stepping outside, and using simple cues—chimes, post-it notes, repeating numbers, crystals, even a watch set to buzz—to return to presence. Community stories flow: how kindness disarms polarization, why connection dissolves loneliness, and how neighborhood resilience emerges after storms. Jan frames adversity through a shamanic lens—dismemberment that precedes renewal—and revisits the Medicine Wheel as a spiral of growth. Manifestation is grounded in practice: match your inner broadcast (gratitude, coherence, love) with your intentions, and train focus with imagination and daily reminders. A thoughtful Q&A explores health worries, "blind beliefs," and the Course in Miracles idea that there is no hierarchy in healing. The episode closes with a practical 21-day challenge to anchor new habits and become the "new, healed self." Episode highlights Guided breathwork to reset and embody gratitude Tiny acts of kindness as exponential vibration-raisers Community, connection, and the antidote to loneliness The Medicine Wheel: moving from event to meaning to growth Manifestation = imagination + focus + felt gratitude Shamanic view of illness: finding and changing "blind beliefs" A simple two-week/21-day practice to lock in new habits Perfect for anyone ready to step off the hamster wheel, re-center in love, and recreate themselves—quietly, consistently, and together.   Manifesting Miracles is a bi-monthly gathering on Zoom that brings together participants from around the world who are committed to creating positive change in their lives—whether in careers, relationships, health, or finances. Each session begins with Jan sharing the most essential teachings on conscious manifestation. Her core message: If you want the world to change—or your circumstances to change—you must first change within. You must become an energetic match for what you desire. Drawing from over 30 years of teaching experience, Jan offers her wisdom in intentional manifestation and shamanism.

Jan begins with a beautiful invocation—an invitation to call home the scattered parts of ourselves that may have become lost through conflict, trauma, or simply the busyness of life. From there, she guides listeners through a rich, grounded explanation of soul loss and retrieval, bridging ancient shamanic understanding with modern psychology.

Jan shares her decades of experience performing soul retrievals, describing the ceremony, preparation, and aftercare with deep reverence—and Micah reflects on two of his own transformative retrievals, including one that coincided with his transgender awakening. Their conversation flows from the deeply personal to the universally spiritual: from the practical ways we can call ourselves back each day, to the vision of a worldwide soul retrieval—a collective healing for humanity and the Earth itself.  Highlights include: Guided invocation to call your energy home What "soul loss" looks like in daily life The connection between energy, illness, and wholeness The role of divine timing in healing Jan's stories of working with ancient traditions and modern seekers Micah's powerful reflections on identity, presence, and personal transformation A tender, insightful episode for anyone drawn to spiritual healing, self-integration, or the art of living with more light and connection.
