Breath, Pranayama and the art and science of breathwork with Yogi Mark Stephens | GATEWAYS TO AWAKENING
In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with internationally acclaimed yoga teacher, teacher trainer, and author Mark Stephens for a fascinating exploration of pranayama, the ancient yogic science of working consciously with the breath. Mark has been practicing yoga for decades, and his newest book takes a deep dive into the history, science, philosophy, and practice of pranayama. We talk about the difference between breath and prana, how breathing can influence our nervous system and state of consciousness, and why nervous-system regulation doesn't simply mean becoming calm. As Mark explains, a healthy nervous system is flexible: sometimes we need to settle, and sometimes we need to mobilize. The deeper question is how we can prepare ourselves to meet what the moment requires. We also explore alternate nostril breathing, Breath of Fire, breath retention, the bandhas, nadis, chakras, Kundalini, sleep, and the relationship between subtle-energy traditions and modern anatomy. In this episode, we explore: • What pranayama actually means—and why prana is much more than breath • How changing the breath can change our physiological and emotional state • The relationship between breath, consciousness, and the nervous system • Why nervous-system regulation isn't synonymous with relaxation • Breath of Fire, alternate nostril breathing, retention, and other pranayama practices • Kundalini, bandhas, chakras, nadis, and the subtle body • Where ancient yogic wisdom and modern science intersect—and where they don't • Why preparation and gradual progression matter in breathwork • The potential risks of intense or one-size-fits-all breathwork practices • How conscious breathing can help us become more present in our everyday livesWe're now opening a private Gateways Community membership for those interested in processing the podcast and joining live monthly calls to discuss the content.

Finding Your Purpose, Shadow Work & the Unconscious with Tim Kelley | GATEWAYS TO AWAKENING
Dear Friends In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Tim Kelley, a global expert on purpose and author of the book (which just released today) True Purpose. Tim has worked with leaders and executive teams at organizations including Alibaba, Oracle, ING, and PwC, trained more than 1,000 coaches and consultants in his methods, and even explored purpose at the level of entire countries. We explore why so many people struggle to identify their purpose and Tim’s framework for understanding its different dimensions: essence, blessing, mission, and message. We also discuss why discovering your purpose is only part of the equation, and how fear, resistance, and our desire for safety can keep us from actually living it. We also explore projection, relationships, dreamwork, Internal Family Systems, and how to distinguish resistance that tells us something isn’t our path from the resistance that appears because something deeply aligned scares us. You can listen to the entire conversation here: Takeaways: - Purpose has multiple dimensions: who you are, how you impact others, your larger mission, and the message you are here to share. - Fear can keep us from living our purpose, even when we already sense what we are being called toward. - Shadow work brings unconscious patterns into awareness, helping us understand what may actually be driving our choices. - The people who trigger us can reveal our own projections and unconscious material. - Knowing your purpose isn’t enough. Purpose still needs a plan. “Give yourself permission to learn what your purpose is without having to do it. You’re just investigating. You’re just gathering information.” — Tim Kelley We're now opening a private Gateways Community membership for those interested in processing the podcast and joining live monthly calls to discuss the content.

The Fifth Empire, Fernando Pessoa, & the Mystical Energy of Portugal with Tammy Weis
Dear Friends, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Canadian singer, songwriter, and composer Tammy Weis to explore the extraordinary world of Portuguese poet and philosopher Fernando Pessoa, the mystical energy of Portugal, the Fifth Empire, and the synchronicities that can unfold when we become open to receiving. Tammy shares how a chance encounter in Lisbon’s Alfama district led her to Pessoa’s poetry, and ultimately inspired Soul Whisper, her album setting his words to music. What followed were dozens of what she calls “Pessoa miracles”: unexpected encounters, collaborations, and synchronicities that completely changed the course of her life. We also explore Pessoa’s many identities, his vision of the Fifth Empire, dreaming and imagination, presence, intuition, frequency, and why his work feels perhaps even more relevant today. One of the central questions Pessoa’s work continually brings us back to is beautifully simple: “Who am I?” And perhaps Tammy’s greatest lesson from this entire journey: “I’m open to receive.”You can listen to the entire episode here: In this episode, we explore: - Fernando Pessoa and the many selves within us, and why his heteronyms were far more than pen names. - The Fifth Empire, Pessoa’s vision of an empire rooted in language, culture, imagination, intellect, and spirit. - The mystical energy of Portugal and why Lisbon seems to create such powerful experiences of synchronicity and connection. - How to stop overthinking and become more grounded in the body, intuition, and the present moment. - Dreaming and imagination as ways of experiencing realities beyond what is immediately visible. - Synchronicity and resonance, and what can happen when we stop forcing and become open to receiving. - Music, frequency, and intention and how Tammy intuitively heard music while reading Pessoa’s poetry. - Presence before explanation, experiencing life before immediately analyzing or judging it. - The deeper invitation of Pessoa’s work: to question who we think we are and become more open to the mystery of what we might be. Ultimately, this conversation is an invitation to think less, perceive more, and become open to the synchronicities already trying to find us.

Quantum Jumping, the Mandela Effect & How Good Can It Get? with Cynthia Sue Larson
What if reality is far more fluid than we’ve been taught to believe? In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Cynthia Sue Larson, bestselling author of Reality Shifts, Quantum Jumps, The Mandela Effect and Its Society, and High Energy Money. Cynthia has a background in physics from UC Berkeley and has spent decades exploring consciousness, reality shifts, synchronicities, quantum phenomena, and what happens when our experience of reality doesn’t quite match what we thought was possible. She wrote the book about the Mandela Effect, which Cynthia describes as “collective alternate memory,” and why different people can seemingly remember the same events, words, places, or cultural moments differently. “We are the dreamer. We are in the dream.” - Cynthia Sue Larson We begin by exploring what Cynthia calls reality shifts, those strange moments when something appears, disappears, changes, or seems to exist differently than we remember, and her belief that consciousness plays a fundamental role in how we experience the physical world. Throughout the episode, we explore: - What reality shifts are and how to begin noticing them - Whether consciousness can influence our experience of reality - Quantum jumping and moving between possible timelines - Why our internal state and perspective matter - The Mandela Effect and collective alternate memories - Whether the past, present, and future are as fixed as we assume - Individual versus collective realities - Free will, destiny, and conscious agency - Why Cynthia asks herself every day: “How good can it get?” Thank you for listening!

Ancient Artifacts, Sound Consciousness & Remembering Who We Are with Gold Porter & Marza Flowers | Gateways to Awakening
Dear Friends, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Gold Porter, founder and spokesperson for Artifact Guardians, and Marza Flowers, a Stanford scholar of archaeoacoustics and Egyptian sound consciousness, registered nurse, clinical herbalist, medicine woman, and longtime student of ancient civilizations and Indigenous medicine ways. Raised in Indigenous medicine ways, she carries ceremonial teachings connected to the sacred Door of the Ant and works across Egyptian temple studies, vibrational medicine, cymatics, plant medicine, and shamanic traditions. We explore ancient crystalline artifacts and skulls emerging from Mexico and Gold and Marza's experiences of them as objects carrying consciousness or information. Rather than approaching these artifacts through ownership, they describe their work through the lens of guardianship and relationship. Marza shares her perspective on ancient Egyptian sound technology, sacred architecture, portals, and the importance of approaching sacred sites with discernment and proper training. We also explore her views on timelines, the Mandela Effect and CERN, and why she believes humanity is being asked to evolve our consciousness alongside our rapidly accelerating technology. In this episode, we explore: - Ancient crystalline artifacts and what it means to become their “guardian” - Crystal skulls, consciousness and the possibility of information held within matter - Egyptian sound consciousness and sacred architecture - Ancient civilizations, portals and the importance of discernment - Marza's perspective on CERN, the Mandela Effect and overlapping timelines - Indigenous knowledge and our relationship with the Earth - Ancient intelligence versus artificial intelligence - Why our humanity must evolve alongside our technology - Prayer, heart coherence and unified consciousness “Everything for me is that word home—going inward and finding your inner compass.” — Gold “The thing that calibrates our humanity is our heart.” — Marza Thank you for listening!

Near-Death Experiences, Mary Magdalene, Beyond Materialism & the Nature of Reality with David Lorimer
Dear Friends, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with my new friend, David Lorimer, writer, poet, philosopher, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network, and Chair of the Galileo Commission. We recently met in the South of France, while I was on Dr. Nicola Amadora's Mary Magdalene tour. For decades, David has been at the forefront of conversations exploring consciousness, science, spirituality, near-death experiences, and the deeper nature of reality. We begin with David’s lifelong “quest for wisdom” and why true wisdom cannot be separated from love, compassion, discernment, and direct experience. We also dive into the research surrounding near-death experiences, survival of consciousness, and the possibility that death is not an ending, but a transition into another mode of consciousness. David shares decades of experience studying these phenomena and the recurring patterns reported by people who have come close to death. “We have to wake up, and we have to try to use our lives to contribute to the larger common good, and to grow in love and wisdom.” — David Lorimer Key Takeaways - Wisdom is more than knowledge. True wisdom integrates discernment and deeper understanding with love and compassion. - Intuition is fundamental to discovery. Major scientific breakthroughs often begin with intuitive insight before the analytical mind works out the science. - Our current scientific understanding of consciousness may be incomplete, opening the door to a much larger exploration of the nature of mind and reality. - Death may be a transition rather than an ending. Near-death experiences show striking recurring patterns, including peace, out-of-body experiences, beings of light, and life reviews. - We may be expressions of one consciousness, raising profound questions about interconnectedness and the nature of the self. - The mind and heart need to develop together. Intellectual or spiritual knowledge alone does not necessarily create an integrated human being. - Mary Magdalene offers another lens on the Divine Feminine and the integration of sacred masculine and feminine principles. Our lives can serve something larger. The invitation is to wake up, expand our consciousness, contribute to the common good, and continue growing in love and wisdom. Thank you for listening!

The ultimate mantra, sound as medicine, humming, and Ascension Harmonics with Jonathan Goldman
Dear Community, we're opening up a private Community membership for those who are interested in processing the podcast. Learn more here: https://linktr.ee/gatewaystoawakening What if sound is one of the fundamental forces shaping our bodies, our consciousness, and even the world around us? In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with legendary sound healer, Grammy-nominated musician, author, and pioneer Jonathan Goldman, who has spent more than 50 years exploring the transformational power of sound. We dive into Jonathan’s newest book, Ascension Harmonics, and his exploration of the Divine Name, an ancient sequence of sacred vowel sounds he describes as a “hotline to the Divine.” “It is not only the frequency of the sound that creates its effect. It is also the intention of the person making and receiving the sound.” — Jonathan Goldman In this episode, we explore: Why Jonathan believes everything can be understood through vibration How sound may help restore the body to resonance and balance The principle Frequency + Intent = Healing Why love, gratitude, kindness, and appreciation transform the way we use sound The science and practice of humming Why every person is a unique vibratory being The ancient Divine Name and Jonathan’s work with sacred vowel sounds Sound, the biofield, and what Jonathan calls the “Gaia Matrix” Collective intention and planetary healing The relationship between sound, water, and DNA Jonathan’s extraordinary experience of sound becoming light Why silence is just as essential as sound And why healing ourselves and healing the planet may ultimately be the same act Jonathan leaves us with a beautifully simple practice: take a breath, hum, and then become silent. In a world filled with noise, the space between sounds may hold some of the greatest gifts of all. We would LOVE to hear from you! What did you learn?

The Energy Codes, Quantum Jumping, and Becoming Your True Self with Dr. Sue Morter
Dear Friends, I am excited to announce a new monthly membership for listeners of Gateways, called Gateways to Inner Knowing, where I'll be sharing reflections, takeaways, meditations, live calls, occasional guest drop-ins, and more. You can learn more here: In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Dr. Sue Morter, internationally recognized teacher, speaker, bioenergetics expert, and author of The Energy Codes, to explore the relationship between consciousness, energy, the body, and our deeper spiritual nature. Sue’s work brings together ancient wisdom, energy medicine, meditation, and our understanding of the human body to ask a profound question: How do we move from intellectually understanding who we are to actually embodying it? “The body isn't something we need to transcend in order to awaken. It may be the very instrument through which awakening becomes embodied.” - Dr. Sue Morter Big thank you to my soul brother Bruce Cryer for the introduction! We explore why so many of us live primarily from the mind, what it means to bring our awareness back into the body, and how our energetic patterns can influence the way we experience ourselves and the world around us. In this conversation, we explore: What The Energy Codes are and how Sue developed the framework Why consciousness and embodiment must work together What it means to live from the Soulful Self rather than the Protective Personality How energy moves through the body and why the central channel matters The relationship between breath, the nervous system, and consciousness Why intellectual insight alone doesn't always change our patterns How our bodies can carry unresolved energetic and emotional experiences What it means to embody rather than simply understand our spiritual nature We would LOVE to hear from you!

Blindfold Vision, Telepathy & the Future of Human Potential with Dr. Edith Ubuntu-Chan
In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Dr. Edith Ubuntu-Chan, Chinese medicine doctor, consciousness pioneer, founder of the Luminous Human Institute, and one of the leading voices exploring blindfold vision, intuition, and expanded human perception. Dr. Edith shares the remarkable journey that led her into the world of blindfold vision after witnessing children seemingly perceive information beyond their ordinary senses. What began as curiosity evolved into years of research, training hundreds of families, and exploring how these practices may unlock far more than the ability to "see" without sight. Together, Yasmeen and Edith explore the intersection of intuition, telepathy, consciousness, education, and the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence. They discuss why joy, play, coherence, and relaxed awareness appear to be essential ingredients for expanding human perception, and why cultivating our inner capacities may become one of the most important skills of the future. In this conversation, you'll discover: What blindfold vision (or Mindsight) is, and why it's about much more than seeing without eyesight Why Edith believes intuition and expanded perception are innate human capacities How children often access these abilities with remarkable ease The surprising relationship between blindfold vision and telepathy Why coherence, play, and curiosity unlock greater perception How parents are transforming alongside their children through this work What these practices reveal about education, consciousness, and human development Why our greatest challenge in the age of AI may not be technological—but deeply human How cultivating our "inner technology" may become one of the defining skills of the future Whether you're curious about intuition, consciousness research, telepathy, education, or the next frontier of human potential, this conversation invites you to consider a profound question: We would LOVE to hear from you! What did you learn?

Mary Magdalene, Shadow Work, A Return To The Sacred Feminine & Embodied Spirituality with Nicola Amadora
I'm celebrating my 300th episode today! I am also launching the ⁠⁠Gateways to Awakening Patreon community ⁠to share behind-the-scenes voice notes and live monthly online gatherings to process the episodes. [Just launched!] I just returned from one of the most profound experiences I've had in years, a pilgrimage through Southern France exploring the teachings of Mary Magdalene with Dr. Nicola Amadora, renowned spiritual teacher, holistic psychologist, women's leader, author, and speaker. I was so deeply moved that I knew I had to invite her onto Gateways to Awakening. In this conversation, we explore what it truly means to embody the Divine Feminine. We talk about why so much of modern spirituality has become disconnected from the body, our emotions, relationships, and the fullness of our humanity, and why awakening isn't about transcending our human experience, but learning to inhabit it more fully. "You don't become enlightened by escaping your humanity. You become more fully alive by inhabiting it." - Dr. Nicola Amadora "Take your meditation cushion into the world." - Dr. Nicola Amadora Nicola shares a radically embodied perspective on spirituality, reminding us that the sacred isn't somewhere "out there" waiting for us to find it, it's already here, alive in our bodies, our hearts, our relationships, and the natural world. We also dive into the life and legacy of Mary Magdalene, her role as a teacher, healer, leader, and embodiment of the sacred feminine, and explore the history of the Cathars, the Way of Love, and why these teachings feel so relevant in the world today. Dr. Nicola also spent time with Mother Teresa, Amma, the Tibetans, Thich Nhat Hanh, and so many wisdom teachers, and is truly one of the most embodied teachers I've met. In this episode, we explore: What the Divine Feminine actually is, and why it's so often misunderstood Why embodiment is essential to authentic awakening The relationship between spirituality, shadow work, and emotional healing How to move beyond spiritual bypassing and fully inhabit your humanity Mary Magdalene's teachings and her role in restoring the sacred feminine The Cathars, the Way of Love, and their extraordinary legacy Why love isn't something we transcend into, it's something we embody Dr. Nicola Amadora is an internationally renowned spiritual teacher, holistic psychologist, women's leader, author, and speaker who has spent more than 30 years guiding thousands of people worldwide in the revolutionary path of love, liberation, and embodied spirituality. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the feminine and the teachings of Mary Magdalene, her retreats, professional trainings, and transformative programs invite people to awaken their deepest life force and live from greater authenticity, courage, and compassion. She is the author of Love Unleashed and the founder of a global movement dedicated to the rise of the feminine, inspiring profound personal transformation and a more heart-centered world.

[Just launched!] What if reality is far more malleable than we've been taught?

Water, Frequency & Remembering Who You Are with Aiylah Valkyrie | Gateways to Awakening
Dear Friends, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen sits down with Aiylah Valkyrie, water priestess, ascension guide, and channel, to explore the deeper intelligence of water, the power of remembrance, and what it means to live in alignment with your soul’s path. This conversation moves beyond traditional spirituality into something more embodied, intuitive, and elemental. Aiylah shares her perspective on water as a living consciousness, how it holds memory, and how we can begin to co-create with it in our daily lives, as something we are in constant relationship with. Big thank you to my soul brother Kevin for the introduction! We talk about the following and so much more: - Water is not just physical—it is a living, intelligent field that holds memory and responds to intention - True knowing comes from remembering what is already encoded within you, not just learning externally - Your thoughts are frequency signals—what you hold consistently shapes your reality - Sovereignty means aligning your life fully with your soul’s mission and removing what is not in resonance - Simple daily rituals (with water, breath, or nature) can restore balance and connection - Light language is a non-verbal, energetic transmission that transcends traditional communication - The elements (water, fire, earth, air, ether) are pathways to deeper consciousness and embodiment - Time is not linear—it is fluid, cyclical, and accessible through awareness “When it’s a thought, it’s already a thing.” - Aiylah Her IG is here: https://www.instagram.com/alleyvalkyrie/ Tune into Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, scientists, mystics, entrepreneurs, and consciousness pioneers exploring the future of human potential.

Alex is known for his immersive trainings that help ordinary people experience telekinesis, remote viewing, extraocular vision, and telepathic communication firsthand. Together, we explore what happens when belief, perception, and consciousness begin to influence reality itself. Alex shares remarkable stories from his workshops, including people moving objects with their minds, magnetizing metal, teleporting coins, and developing telepathic abilities that challenge conventional assumptions about space, time, and human potential. The conversation also dives into the deeper implications of these experiences: What do they reveal about the nature of reality? Are we living inside an informational universe? And how might telepathy transform society by creating greater empathy, transparency, and human connection?You can listen to the entire episode here: We talked about the following and so much more: - The difference between telekinesis, psychokinesis, telepathy, and remote viewing - How random number generators have been used in scientific consciousness research - Why belief plays a critical role in influencing reality - The "Sheep and Goat Effect" and what it reveals about consciousness - How people learn to move objects and influence matter through intention - The surprising relationship between hypnosis, psychology, and extraordinary abilities - Why children often access intuitive abilities more naturally than adults - The connection between telepathy and emotional intelligence - How telepathic communication could reshape human relationships and society - The role of intuition, presence, and non-judgment in developing psychic perception - Why telepathy may be the next stage of human evolution - How small shifts in belief can create entirely new realities "We're not waiting for some future generation to change the world. Every one of us has the ability—and the responsibility—to expand what's possible for human consciousness." — Alex Stefan This conversation is ultimately about much more than moving objects or reading minds. It is about possibility. It is about questioning the limits we've accepted, exploring the nature of reality, and discovering what becomes available when we move beyond fear and into curiosity.

Your Mind Is Not The Enemy, on Psychedelics and More with Richard Louis Miller
In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen sits down with clinical psychologist Richard Louis Miller, who has spent over 65 years at the intersection of psychology, consciousness, and psychedelic medicine. He is the founder of Wilbur Hot Springs in the Bay Area. Together, they explore the full spectrum of psychedelics, from their profound therapeutic potential to the often-overlooked psychological risks. This conversation goes beyond the hype, offering a grounded and transparent look at what these medicines can truly unlock, and what they can destabilize if approached without care. We talk about the following and more: - Psychedelics are facilitators of healing, not the healing itself; the real work happens through integration - Set, setting, and dosage determine whether an experience is supportive or destabilizing - A “bad trip” can be a gateway to confronting unresolved inner material, and ultimately, growth - We are in a mental health and connection crisis, amplified by isolation and disconnection - Small, consistent acts of connection and self-kindness are powerful tools for real transformation. This episode is an invitation to approach these powerful tools with discernment, and to remember that healing is ultimately about how we live, relate, and integrate. “These medicines are not therapy, they are facilitators of therapy.” - Richard Louis Miller Tune into Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, scientists, mystics, entrepreneurs, and consciousness pioneers exploring the future of human potential.

The Hidden Intelligence of Water, Light & Fascia With Dr. Catherine Clinton
Dear Friends, What if health isn't just biochemical, but energetic, informational, and deeply connected to our relationship with light, water, movement, and even our thoughts? "The body isn't broken. It's sending messages. It's out of coherence. And there are so many roads back to coherence, but some of the most beautiful roads are so simple." - Dr. Catherine Clinton In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Clinton, naturopathic physician, educator, and author of Optimize, to explore the emerging field of quantum biology and what it reveals about healing, coherence, and human potential.

The Spiritual Dog: Why They Choose You and What They’re Here to Teach with JJ Flowers
Dear Friends, What if your dog is not just your companion… but a spiritual guide? In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with author and spiritual teacher JJ Flowers to explore the deeper, often unseen relationship between humans and dogs. Based on her book The Spiritual Dog: Emissary of Unconditional Love and Healing, JJ shares a powerful perspective: that dogs are not companions, but intentional beings who enter our lives to support, heal, and evolve with us. Together, they explore the idea that dogs are carriers of unconditional love, operating from a level of awareness that most humans have forgotten how to access. From telepathic communication to emotional mirroring, JJ explains how dogs constantly read our energy, reflect our inner world, and in many cases, transmute what we cannot process ourselves. The conversation moves through grief, healing, and the unseen realms, as JJ shares her personal journey of loss and the spiritual awakening that followed, opening her perception to a deeper connection with both the animal kingdom and the energetic world beyond the physical. Yasmeen and JJ also explore practical ways to deepen your connection with your dog, including simple techniques for intuitive communication, understanding your dog’s behavior as energetic feedback, and how practices like breathwork and meditation can strengthen your sensitivity to subtle energy. Special shout-out to my adopted dogs, Goose and Lucky. Love you both so much. :) And to all the dogs that bring us so much love. We love you. In this episode, we explore: - Why dogs may choose us—and the idea of soul contracts across lifetimes - How dogs mirror and absorb human emotional states - The role of unconditional love as a healing force - How to begin communicating with your dog intuitively - The energetic and spiritual anatomy shared between humans and animals - How grief can open the doorway to expanded awareness - Why connection—to animals, to each other, and to something greater—is at the core of healing - This episode invites you to see your dog—and perhaps all of life—through an entirely new lens Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

The Courage to Be Seen: Service, Purpose & the Call to Lead with Geeta Sidhu-Robb | Gateways to Awakening
Dear Friends In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Geeta Sidhu-Robb, a dynamic entrepreneur, founder, business strategist, and transformational coach, for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, piercing, and profoundly important. Geeta shares her origin story as the first non-white woman to stand for Parliament in the UK, the deep childhood influence of Sikh tradition and Seva (service), and the inner duality that has driven her life: a fierce intolerance for injustice alongside real fear—both voices present, both equally loud. From founding Nosh Detox and helping commercialize the cold-pressed juice movement to coaching powerhouse leaders, Geeta’s path has been defined by relentless clarity and the courage to be visible. But in 2023, just as she planned to finally rest, a court transcript about workplace sexual abuse jolted her back into activism—leading to the creation of W Corporation, a certification designed to help companies build workplaces that truly support women’s biology, leadership styles, and lived reality. “I’m a very powerful woman, and I like that about myself.” - Geeta Sidhu-Robb Key Takeaways - Seva “service” as a leadership compass: how service can become a lifelong strategy for courage and impact. - Why workplaces are structurally “male by default”—and what it actually looks like to make them fit-for-purpose for women. - The W Corporation model: a practical certification process that rewards workplaces that support women across caregiving, perimenopause, promotion dynamics, and more. - “Women are not small men”: why women often need to be invited into promotions, and why job ads and workplace reward systems frequently disadvantage them. - Visibility as a power skill: how being willing to be seen changes what you can build—and what you can influence. - One metric can change the world: Geeta’s bold goal to move UK venture funding to women-led teams from 2% to 3%, and why that single shift matters. - Relentlessness over perfection: why Geeta doesn’t wait for a perfect plan—she commits to the mission and lets reality organize around it.

You Are Living Multiple Lives at Once: Light Language, Hall of Records and Energy with Patricia Walls | Gateways to Awakening
Dear Friends, What if your life is not linear… but happening across multiple dimensions at once? In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Patricia Walls, author, teacher, and founder of Earth Woman LLC, to explore the nature of multidimensional reality, light language, and the hidden architecture of consciousness. Patricia shares a radically expanded perspective on time, revealing that past, present, and future are not separate, but coexisting experiences. Together, we explore what it means to live across timelines, how intuition operates beyond logic, and why so many people are beginning to awaken to a deeper, more expansive awareness of reality. The conversation moves into the Hall of Records—an inner space where your soul’s experiences are stored—and how accessing it can allow you to release contracts, shift timelines, and reclaim your agency. Patricia offers a live, guided experience into this field, opening a doorway into self-inquiry and energetic sovereignty. We also dive into light language as a universal, pre-verbal form of communication—one that transmits frequency, healing, and information beyond words. Patricia explains how it works, why it affects everyone differently, and how it reconnects us to a more original state of being. In this episode, we explore: - What it truly means to live in a multidimensional reality - Why time may not exist the way we think it does - The role of free will in shaping timelines and outcomes - How fear blocks higher possibilities and aligned decisions - What the Hall of Records is and how to access it - Releasing energetic contracts, patterns, and subconscious imprints - Light language as a frequency-based, universal communication system - How to strengthen intuition and trust your inner knowing -Energetic sovereignty, boundaries, and working with unseen forces You can learn more about Patricia here: https://patriciawalls.net/ Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

I recently wrote the book A Glitch In The Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become The Main Character of Your Life, which is available in print, kindle and Audible (in my own voice). Here is Patricia’s Prayer for Sovereignty I stand in full authority of my being. I claim my body, my mind, my energy, and my field as my own. No force, seen or unseen, no influence, agreement, or attachment has permission to override, manipulate, or diminish me. I release all agreements—known and unknown— that were made in confusion, fear, survival, or unconsciousness. They are null and void now. I call all of my energy back to me— from every person, place, timeline, and experience. Clean, clear, and restored. I return all energy that is not mine to its rightful place, without attachment or entanglement. My field is sovereign. My will is clear. My presence is anchored. I choose alignment with truth, clarity, and integrity. I choose to stand in my own knowing. Only what honors my highest good may enter, connect, or remain. Everything else dissolves. I am self-led. I am self-sourced. I am sovereign. And so it is
