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 LorimerKey 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! We're now opening a private Community membership for those interested in processing the podcast and joining live monthly calls to discuss the content. Learn more here. If this episode resonates with you, you may also enjoy Yasmeen's work through the ⁠Inner Knowing School,⁠ where she teaches intuition, energetic mastery, multidimensional awareness, and nervous system regulation through private immersions and executive cohorts. You can also explore Yasmeen's latest book, ⁠A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life⁠, available on Audible, Kindle, and in print.

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 vibrationHow sound may help restore the body to resonance and balanceThe principle Frequency + Intent = HealingWhy love, gratitude, kindness, and appreciation transform the way we use soundThe science and practice of hummingWhy every person is a unique vibratory beingThe ancient Divine Name and Jonathan’s work with sacred vowel soundsSound, the biofield, and what Jonathan calls the “Gaia Matrix”Collective intention and planetary healingThe relationship between sound, water, and DNAJonathan’s extraordinary experience of sound becoming lightWhy silence is just as essential as soundAnd why healing ourselves and healing the planet may ultimately be the same actJonathan 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!

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 frameworkWhy consciousness and embodiment must work togetherWhat it means to live from the Soulful Self rather than the Protective PersonalityHow energy moves through the body and why the central channel mattersThe relationship between breath, the nervous system, and consciousnessWhy intellectual insight alone doesn't always change our patternsHow our bodies can carry unresolved energetic and emotional experiencesWhat it means to embody rather than simply understand our spiritual natureWe would LOVE to hear from you!

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 eyesightWhy Edith believes intuition and expanded perception are innate human capacitiesHow children often access these abilities with remarkable easeThe surprising relationship between blindfold vision and telepathyWhy coherence, play, and curiosity unlock greater perceptionHow parents are transforming alongside their children through this workWhat these practices reveal about education, consciousness, and human developmentWhy our greatest challenge in the age of AI may not be technological—but deeply humanHow cultivating our "inner technology" may become one of the defining skills of the futureWhether 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!

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 misunderstoodWhy embodiment is essential to authentic awakeningThe relationship between spirituality, shadow work, and emotional healingHow to move beyond spiritual bypassing and fully inhabit your humanityMary Magdalene's teachings and her role in restoring the sacred feminineThe Cathars, the Way of Love, and their extraordinary legacyWhy love isn't something we transcend into, it's something we embodyDr. 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.We would LOVE to hear from you!

[Just launched!] What if reality is far more malleable than we've been taught?In this special episode of Gateways to Awakening, I'm sharing the opening preview from my audiobook, A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life.This book is the culmination of over two decades of studying intuition, consciousness, kundalini and somatic yoga, meditation, evolutionary astrology, natural law, and human transformation.

It offers a practical framework for recognizing unconscious patterns, reclaiming your energy, and creating a life that is more intentional, coherent, and aligned with your deepest knowing.Whether you're new to this work or have been walking the path for years, I hope this preview offers a glimpse into the ideas that have transformed my own life and the lives of so many students I've had the privilege to work with.If this resonates with you, I'd love for you to listen to the full audiobook and continue the journey with me.Thank you, as always, for being part of this community.

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.” - AiylahHer 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.

[Just launched!] What if telekinesis, telepathy, and intuition are not extraordinary abilities reserved for a gifted few, but natural human capacities waiting to be remembered?In this fascinating episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Alex Stefan, international trainer, researcher of human potential, and founder of Extra-Ordinaries, to explore the frontiers of consciousness, telepathy, psychokinesis, and the hidden capabilities of the human mind.

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 StefanThis 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.
