In this episode of the LightSong School of 21st Century Shamanism and Energy Medicine Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the timeless role of ritual and ceremony in shamanic practice—and why these sacred acts still matter so deeply in our modern lives. From the gentle power of blessings placed like luminous “sticky notes” upon the soul, to the primal heartbeat of the drum resonating through every culture, Jan and Micah share stories that reveal how ritual alters our energy, grounds us in community, and opens the doorway to spirit. Together, they discuss: The difference between rituals, ceremonies, and traditions—and how each shapes our spiritual lives. How everyday acts, from making tea to blowing out birthday candles, carry sacred resonance. Why ritual provides safety, belonging, and connection in a time when loneliness is epidemic. The way ceremony changes our energetic blueprint, anchoring us into new versions of ourselves. How ritual can reprogram the mind, raise vibration, and invite magic into the everyday. With stories from Indigenous traditions around the world and personal memories from decades of teaching, this conversation is both practical and deeply inspiring. Whether you’re lighting a candle before meditation, journeying with a drum, or placing a morning blessing on your family, you’ll discover how ritual and ceremony create sacred containers for healing, transformation, and joy. Come listen and remember: the magic lives in the ritual. Visit www.LightSong.net for more information about Jan. Visit www.ShamanSezz.com for more information about Micah.    

In this powerful episode of the Manifesting Miracles, shamanic healer and spiritual teacher Jan Engels-Smith guides you into the energetics of true manifestation—not from the mind’s agenda, but from the deeper, resonant wisdom of the heart and soul. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Heart-Centered Manifestation: Learn why intention alone is not enough—it's the frequency you hold that shapes your reality. Your Soul as a Magnet: Shift your internal vibration and naturally attract experiences that match your essence. Reverence, Worthiness & Receiving: Understand why manifestation requires self-trust, inner alignment, and becoming the person who can receive what you're calling in. Clearing the Field: Explore how limiting beliefs, unhealed trauma, and outdated stories block your ability to manifest—and how to clear them. The Process of Becoming: Move from “How do I get what I want?” to “Who am I becoming to align with this reality?” Real-Life Examples Include: Reframing job manifestation as an embodiment of purpose and confidence Attracting divine partnership through inner mirroring Dissolving old patterns of overgiving and self-doubt This episode supports listeners in becoming a quantum version of themselves, aligned with their highest truth—not through striving, but through resonant transformation.

Careers. Relationships. Health. Finances—it all begins within. Jan’s Core Teaching: "If you want your world to change, you must become the energetic match for what you seek. The shift begins inside."

This episode opens with an invocation to rise above daily “densities” into a protected space of purity—love, truth, beauty, healing, and community—and flows into a rich conversation on practical manifestation. Listeners share lived examples while Jan and Amber Jane unpack why feelings (not just thoughts) drive results in an attraction‑based universe, how to create energetic boundaries, and what it really means to be a match for what you want. Core Themes • Safe & Sacred Space: Begin by elevating out of worry, doubt, and mental noise into a protected circle—only the divine, benevolent energies have access. • What Are “Densities”?: The lower‑frequency patterns (internal and external) that distort our perception and mute our magnificence. • Manifestation Fundamentals: We are always manifesting—whatever gets the most “airtime” (attention + emotion) wins. Clarity matters; journaling organizes scattered thoughts into intention. • Feeling > Words: You can’t trick the universe—felt states override affirmations. Become an emotional match for what you want (gratitude, appreciation, joy). • Specific Beats Vague: Be clear and specific with your intent, then add “this or something better” to allow a greater outcome than you can imagine. • Attraction‑Only Universe: Energy attracts like energy. Worry attracts obstacles; appreciation attracts ease and aligned outcomes. • Let Go Without Collapse: Non‑attachment isn’t apathy—hold your vision, release tight grip, and stay in trust (gratitude when it arrives, grace when timing reshuffles). • Energetic Boundaries & Empathy: Highly sensitive folks can learn to discern “mine vs. not mine,” return what isn’t theirs, and ground excess energy through nature and somatic practices. Practices & Prompts Mentioned • Journaling as Intention Architecture: Turn thousands of random thoughts into a clear, concise request. • Pre‑Create the Scene: Visualize the outcome and bathe it in feelings—gratitude, appreciation, relief, joy. • Mantra for Openness: “This or something better.” • Airtime Check: Notice which emotions get the most broadcast in your day. • Boundary Cue: “Anything not mine in this moment, I return to where it came from.” • Grounding: Touch earth, hold a plant, or walk barefoot—ask nature to transmute excess energy. • Know Your True‑Self Frequency: Meditate on how you feel at your essence (often easiest to remember from childhood moments of freedom). • Celebrate Evidence: When something manifests, anchor it with gratitude to reinforce the pattern. Memorable Lines • “Whatever gets the most airtime wins.” • “You can’t trick the universe—feeling overrides the words.” • “Be a match for what you want.” • “Non‑attachment lets timing reshuffle without collapsing your faith.” Call to Action Try the “airtime check” today: for five minutes, jot which emotions you’re broadcasting most often. Choose one desired outcome, pre‑create the scene, and flood it with gratitude. Close by returning any energy that isn’t yours and grounding with nature.

  Episode Title “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players” I'm excited to share some insights on this podcast episode, titled "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." This famous quote from Shakespeare's *As You Like It*, spoken by Jaques in Act II, Scene VII, beautifully captures a message Jan received years ago from the Spirits. The message is about the essence of life as a play, where we all take on various roles and navigate different "acts" throughout our journeys. Who are the players in your life and why did they take on the roles that they did? Conceptualizing this concept helps reframe some of our most difficult relationships, making room for healing, celebrations, and awe of the magnificence of the universe and life. The podcast also focuses on personal success, guiding you toward achieving your heart's desires. In this episode, we'll feature guests who share their unique success stories and how they applied manifesting principles to their lives. We'll also explore the immense value of community and how our manifesting miracle community fosters a supportive environment that multiplies results.  Key topics for discussion will include: Divine Timing: ** Understanding that timing is not a delay but a part of divine orchestration, and how there is a perfect time for learning and growth. Trusting the Process: ** Learning to trust the journey and glean wisdom from every circumstance. Fate, Destiny, and Free Will:  Examining whether our lives are predetermined by fate, destiny, or pre-birth contracts, and how free will plays a role when we have agreements with others.  Catalysts in Life: ** Identifying the individuals who help us fulfill our purpose.  (the players in the play) Beyond Appearances: ** The importance of not judging a book or a person by their cover, as everyone has interesting stories to tell.  Unconditional Love: ** How to recognize when you are loving unconditionally. I believe this episode will offer valuable perspectives and inspiration.  For personal attention on how to make lasting changes in how you manifest, please join Jan with her ON DEMAND series, ReCreate YourSelf: How to See Between the Worlds  This class will be taught live on Zoom in the fall of 2025   https://www.lightsong.net/recreate-yourself/#op3-element-vs7fN29v  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 Jan@lightsong.net  Manifesting Miracles: This podcast is part of a series of gatherings held bi-monthly on Zoom calls.  Participants from around the world who are interested in making positive changes in their lives: careers, relationships, health, and finances are on this call.  Jan begins this series with the most essential tips for 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.

Quantum Fields: Shamanism Meets Science Episode Description: In this expansive episode of The Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the mysteries and possibilities of the quantum fields—and how these concepts align beautifully with shamanic practices. What happens when we enter the space of all potential realities? Can we collapse time, rewrite our stories, and transform our lives by stepping into a new energetic frequency? Jan offers a powerful invocation to begin, grounding us into the heart and the right brain—what she refers to as the entry point to the quantum field. From there, the conversation flows into deep territory: clair-senses, timelines, non-linear healing, manifestation through imagination, and the observer effect. Micah shares personal stories from Vision Quest experiences and what it means to live as a “blended being”—a state of conscious presence between realities. Together, they offer insights into how the quantum and the shamanic can work in tandem, not just for personal transformation, but for collective healing. Whether you’re intrigued by metaphysics, energy medicine, or simply feel the pull to live in alignment with a greater mystery, this episode invites you into the sacred field of all possibilities.

In this deep and heartfelt episode, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the spiritual paradox of surrender—not as giving up, but as letting go of the illusion that we were ever in control. Through personal stories, Vision Quest experiences, and teachings from the Lakota tradition, they reflect on how spiritual breakthroughs often come not through strength, but through surrender, trust, and deep humility. Jan shares vivid stories of illness, injury, and discomfort during Vision Quests that pushed her beyond ego and into the hands of Spirit, while Micah reflects on the difference between control and true trust—from financial surrender to the surprising peace that comes when you stop wrestling with the universe. Together, they unpack the semantics and stigma around “surrender,” revealing it instead as a sacred practice of receptivity, presence, and alignment. This episode invites listeners into an honest inquiry: Do I truly trust Spirit? Can I surrender to the unknown without fear? With humor, depth, and grace, Jan and Micah offer a blueprint for living in flow—even when life doesn’t go according to plan. “When we finally let go of the need to be in control, the real magic begins.” Tune in for soul medicine, laughter, and two wonderful storytellers.

Jan starts this thought-provoking podcast with an Invocation- to clear your mind, connect you to the quantum fields, and create a sacred container for all the participants.   The discussion starts with a participant who uses Jan’s Super Self meditation daily.       She talks about the huge results she is having. She is feeling wonderful but also feeling light-headed. What should she do not to feel this way?   Here is the link for the meditation https://www.lightsong.net/product/superself-meditation/   Questions from Participants Can you focus on multiple things to manifest at once, or do you need to focus on just one thing? What does it mean to “Embody” feelings and what does this embodiment do for you? What do we do about obstacles that keep presenting in life?  The participant explains that she is trying hard to improve her life but there are many obstacles.  How should she handle these obstacles and why are they happening? Are obstacles that present themself as deterrents to your spiritual growth directly related to your beliefs, if so How?   What’s the difference between rote repetition of a mantra or prayer and visualization with feeling for the same prayer? The topic of Soul Retrieval was discussed in great detail.  When do you do a soul retrieval, Can you perform a soul retrieval for yourself? If so, how often? What creates illness in someone’s body from a shamanic perspective? Jan talks about her book Becoming Yourself: The Journey from Head to Heart   and Through the Rabbit Hole: Explore and Experience the Shamanic Journey and Energy Medicine     For personal attention on how to find your blind beliefs and make lasting changes in how you manifest, Jan promotes her ON DEMAND series, ReCreate YourSelf.  This class will be taught live on Zoom in the fall of 2025   https://www.lightsong.net/recreate-yourself/#op3-element-vs7fN29v   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 Jan@lightsong.net  Manifesting Miracles: This podcast is part of a series of gatherings held bi-monthly on Zoom calls.  Participants from around the world who are interested in making positive changes in their lives: careers, relationships, health, and finances are on this call.  Jan begins this series with the most essential tips for 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 with Jan Engels-Smith & Micah Schwader Episode Title: “The Pattern Is the Message” What if the struggles that repeat in your life aren’t accidents—but invitations? In this powerful episode of the Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the sacred and sometimes painful reality of patterns—those recurrences in life, thought, behavior, and circumstance that Spirit uses to get our attention. Through personal stories, shamanic insight, and spiritual inquiry, they illuminate how patterns are not just habits—but are often messages in disguise. Micah shares a striking experience: a face-first fall during an allergic reaction that eerily mirrored a nearly identical accident two decades ago—at the same kind of life crossroads. Was it coincidence? Or a spiritual “board to the face,” as Jan lovingly puts it? From this moment arises the episode’s central question: What do our repeating patterns reveal about the choices we’ve made—and the ones we’re being called to make now? Together, they unpack: ·       How emotional, physical, and spiritual patterns act as mirrors of unprocessed truths ·       The role of resistance in keeping us stuck—and how awareness begins to free us ·       Nature’s uncanny ability to speak through omens, animals, numbers, and synchronicities ·       The illusion of having to choose between paths (career or calling, logic or intuition) ·       How embracing our full spectrum—spiritual and practical—creates wholeness Whether it’s hawks circling overhead, 11:11 on a clock, or repeated emotional loops in your journal, this conversation reminds us patterns point the way. They show us where we’ve been—and where we have the power to grow. The episode closes with a gentle invitation: surrender doesn’t mean giving up; it means opening up to something greater. Listen in—and ask yourself: What patterns are asking for your attention?

Talking Stick Podcast with Jan Engels-Smith & Micah Schwader Episode Title: “Dreaming as Power: A Shamanic Approach to the Nighttime Realms” What if nightmares aren’t omens of doom but invitations to reclaim our soul’s strength? What if that dream you can’t shake is a message from the spirit world asking you to step into your full potential? In this heart-opening episode of the Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader dive deep into the realm of dreams—not through the lens of Western psychology, but from the perspective of shamanic wisdom and spiritual empowerment. Their dialogue explores how dreams can reveal our hidden power and how our left-brain analytical tendencies often distort the meaning and potential of these right-brain, spirit-driven experiences. With vivid stories of their shamanic experiences, Jan and Micah illuminate how dreams, daydreams, and imagination are all sacred portals into the quantum field of possibility—and how aligning with this frequency can profoundly shift not just your nights, but your days. This is more than a conversation about dreams—it’s an invitation to remember your innate magic. Tune in to discover: ·       The difference between left-brain dream analysis and shamanic interpretation ·       How to re-enter and reshape difficult dreams to reclaim personal power ·       Why “daydreaming” can be more effective than traditional prayer in manifestation ·       The connection between dream frequency and daily life outcomes ·       How imagination is a form of spiritual communication and creative healing 🎧 Listen now, and step into your dreaming power.

“There is an Elephant in the Living Room” How energy workers handle the state of the world in a good way. During our Manifesting Miracles gathering, a question arose regarding the "Elephant in the Living Room," specifically concerning the pervasive discord in the USA. How to stay positive when facing difficult situations.       What are some practical strategies for maintaining a positive outlook in challenging circumstances?      Could you please outline the process for manifesting one's dreams and transitioning to a different desired reality?       How do we as healers and energy workers perceive our politics and what is happening in the USA?       What can any of us do to make a difference in the USA or the world?        There seems to be so much fear, anxiety and distrust.        What can we do about this? This discussion was the theme throughout this broadcast. We had a conversation about anti-energy. We touched on how it often intertwines with feelings like disgust, rage, fear, and even hatred toward the object of opposition. We also discussed how anti-energy operates on the same energetic frequency as the very problem it seeks to address and can negatively impact manifestation efforts.
