Rocks, stones, and crystals are a great addition to any spiritual practice. They can help ground you if you are anxious or agitated, can be used in meditation or to manifest abundance, love, and health, and can help balance your Chinese Astrology elements or improve your home's feng shui.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss the many uses and benefits of various rocks, stones, and crystals and how they use these Earth elements in their everyday lives.

Medical Intuition is the process of using one's intuition (on ourselves or others) to obtain information about the physical and energetic body, the existence of potential imbalance, illness, or disease, and the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that may be impacting one's physical or mental health.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss how medical intuition works (we think), how certain mental and emotional patterns can contribute to physical ailments, Julie's early experiments with medical intuition, and how medical intuition could used to improve the health care delivery system.  We hope you enjoy!  Follow us on Instagram @metaphysicalnomads Resources:   Anatomy of the Spirit, Caroline Myss (1997) The Science of Medical Intuition, Caroline Myss (2002)

We can all appreciate the spiritual counselors, teachers, and mentors who show up in our lives and help us evolve as individuals and spiritually.  A "guru" is a type of spiritual teacher from the Hindu tradition, but has been adopted in the West to refer to various spiritual teachers.  But, what if a spiritual counselor or guru does not act with the best intentions and uses their influence to manipulate, assert control over, or even harm their followers?  Now we have a cult leader!  A cult is a social group that is often defined by an unusual set of religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, with devotion towards the cult's leader.  Join Julie and Halle as they discuss their experiences with their spiritual mentors, their fascination with cults, and the "red flag" warnings that you in fact may be dealing with a cult. 

It seems like psychics are everywhere--bookstores, street fairs, strip malls, and even available by telephone or internet.  But, can psychics really predict the future?  Are they more intuitive than the rest of us and, if so, is intuition something that we can develop and trust in ourselves?  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss what it means to be "psychic" and share stories of their experiences with psychics and how we can all use our own intuition to improve our day to day lives.  

Finally--a Metaphysical Nomads podcast that is backed by science!  There are many benefits of meditation, including stress reduction, emotional health, self-awareness, enhanced mindfulness, a feeling of connection with others.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss their experiences with meditation and why you shouldn't get stressed about the "right way" to meditate.  There are many different ways to take advantage of this practice and there is no "one size fits all" approach.  Find out what works best for you and enjoy!

A "Walk In" is a soul that has entered into a contractual agreement with another soul to take over the first soul's human body for some period of time, usually for purposes related to each soul's evolution.  This may be temporary or for the rest of the human body's Earth life, and two souls may even share the same human body.  This transition is said to happen when the departing soul's human body experiences some trauma or near death experience and the person's personality may undergo drastic changes as a result.  So, is this is really a soul walk in event or just signs of neurological damage as scientists would like us to believe?  In this podcast, Julie and Halle share their understanding of "Walk Ins" and Julie tells her favorite Walk In story -- that of T. Lobsang Rampa (aka Cyril Henry Hoskin).  We hope you enjoy! Resources: The Third Eye, T. Lobsang Rampa (1956) The Cave of the Ancients, T. Lobsang Rampa (1963) You Forever, T. Lobsang Rampa (1965)

Mystical creatures are spiritual creatures of myth, legend, and lore.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss whether mystical creatures such as dragons, fairies, elves, unicorns, and mermaids exist, whether on Earth or in other dimensions, while Halle shares her passion for the subject and the role various mystical creatures can play in our everyday lives.  

Everyone dreams and everyone has stories of strange, scary, enlightening, or even recurring dreams.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss the various types of dreams, dream symbols, how to interpret dreams, and why they like to hear about other people's dreams (or not).  Enjoy!

Ever wanted to attend a "spiritual" retreat?  These retreats typically involve a gathering of like-minded people, with a spiritual leader, and activities, events, and exercises designed to help encourage personal and collective healing, release, and spiritual growth.  In this podcast, Julie shares her introduction to and experiences at these retreats, including a yoga retreat in Costa Rica that wasn't quite as "spiritual" as planned.  We hope you enjoy!
