The theme and focus of this chapter is taking a look at how we become trapped in patterns of wanting – constantly seeking external validation, possessions, and acceptance to feel complete.

The offering here reveals how these very longings end up owning us through our fears and attachments. We are reminded of a fundamental truth we often forget: we already are whole and complete just as we are. We’re reminded that true liberation co...

In today’s episode, I want to offer some writing prompts based on the chapters we’ve covered so far in our book study series of The Freedom Transmissions.

Since there is a lot of information and wisdom offered within these transmissions, I thought it would be helpful to take a pause and take some time to reflect on what you’ve discovered, realized, or learned so far. Basically, to write about what revelations have been brought into ...

This is a chapter about the energy of BELONGING.

And it can be summed up like this: “What you belong to also belongs to you.”

Here we’ll explore how our choices about where we place our sense of belonging either lead us toward freedom or keep us bound in patterns of seeking and longing.

We are being asked to bring our awareness to this issue since it’s an issue that’s prevalent both individually and collectively, internally and extern...

The message of this chapter is: You reap what you sow.

The question we are being asked to consider right now and in the years to come is: “Will I plant a seed of poison through blame and projection? Or will I plant a seed of light and kindness?”

Because, we’ll be answering to the seeds that we plant, within the void. We’ll get into voids in this chapter as well.

The questions we’ll be considering now are: Will you choose Faith over fe...

In this episode, we take a pause from the book study in order to go over some popular questions surrounding The Freedom Transmissions. In the next episode we will continue with the chapter, Sacred Seeds.

Some of these questions are ones that people have asked me recently, and some of the questions were shared with me by Carissa Schumacher, who channeled this book. These are questions that have been posed to her in the past… and I’ll...

Now we move into Transmission 2. Transmission 2 is called The Wheat and the Chaff and within this transmission, we begin with the chapter Shades of Hope.

The shades of hope are the Light form or the shadow form of Hope. Whether it is light or shadow, they each have their own energy of hope.

So, we’ll talk about this and how our thought bubbles and fears are connected to it. How we choose to think about things matters.

We’ll also look ...

Here we continue moving through The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming in The Freedom Transmissions which we started in a prior episode. In that episode, we talked about how, in our origin story, our soul is woven and stitched into our body, through our DNA, our chakras, bones, blood, and heart.

We also have our sprit body, which is the invisible space around us: the strings, threads and energy that connects us to the great Web of...

Welcome back to the second part of my interview with Carissa Schumacher. This is a continuation from our second chat we had here on Hold the Light within The Freedom Transmissions book study series. If you haven’t yet listened to the first part of our conversation, click here.  We cover a lot of interesting topics there including how to be in communication and partnership with the Divine, and how to deal with needs verses wants.

For this episode and the next, we’re taking just a short book study break from The Freedom Transmissions to feature my new conversation with Carissa Schumacher.  As you most likely know by now, Carissa is a forensic psychic medium, a spiritual guide, and she is a channel for Yeshua. The book The Freedom Transmissions are channeled transmissions she received from Yeshua. 

You can go into this podcast’s archives to listen to the other...

Starting now we move into Part Two of The Freedom Transmissions – our focus in on the offerings that are called The Freedom Transmissions. (Part One was called The Sacred Heart Transmissions.)

If it’s helpful, think of threading and stitching as vibrations and waves. We each have our own vibration that is unique to us – this is our energy. And since everyone and everything is energy or frequency, we are all connected to each other a...

In this episode, we move into learning about the Sacred Heart. This is the final chapter under The Sacred Heart Transmissions, which is Part 1 of the book The Freedom Transmissions.

Here’s why it’s helpful for us to understand the Sacred Heart: because this is the gateway that connects us to our divine self. 

The Sacred Heart is the foundation and structure for embodying greater peace in our lives. 

It’s where we find freedom.

So, what...

In this episode, we are discussing the Three Veils from the chapter The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind in The Freedom Transmissions. In the last episode we reviewed all seven imbalances, so be sure to listen to that first if you haven’t yet.

This next part of the chapter is important to understand because it gives us deeper knowledge about the root or origin of the Seven Imbalances of the Mind. And with deeper insight ...

I’ve decided to break up this chapter from The Freedom Transmissions into two different episodes because of the depth of the content. It’s a chapter that’s really important for us to take some time with, because it helps us to know ourselves and how we’re currently keeping ourselves in density. Essentially, we’re looking at what holds us back from living in our true essence — our true nature — and peace. Before we move forward with...

I like to think of this chapter as a meet and greet with Yeshua.  He introduces himself to us, and then also shares a bit about to expect as we move through The Freedom Transmissions.

So, who IS Yeshua?

Well, as He explains, He is Peace, He is your peace, the Essence of your Be-ing.

When we choose peace, we choose our true selves.

So here, Yeshua is telling us that through the process of going through these transmissions and meditation...

Let me ask you a question: if I were to tell you there’s a pathway that could potentially, possibly, most likely help you move into a feeling of greater peace, balance, simplicity, freedom, forgiveness, authenticity and wholeness in your life, what would you say? 

This pathway helps us to know ourselves as connected to something greater than ourselves, whether you call that something greater the Divine, Spirit, Infinite Intelligence...

Welcome back to Part 2 of my first conversation with Carissa Schumacher in The Freedom Transmissions series. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, pause this and go take a listen to it — and then come back and join us.

In this conversation we talk about how Carissa views The Freedom Transmissions more as a meditation, she shares some of the transformations she’s seen in people since reading it, and she also offers some practical ti...

For a while, I will be using this space in the style of a book study or book review. My first focus will be on the book The Freedom Transmissions. 

In addition to occasional interviews here on the podcast,  I’ll be dropping new episodes where I’ll share my reflections on the wisdom and offerings of the The Freedom Transmissions, chapter by chapter.

If you believe in spirit guides, are curious about spirit guides, or even wonder what it’s like to connect with loved ones who have crossed over, this episode is for you.
