In this episode, legendary spiritual teacher Diana Cooper joins me to explore her transformative book, The 36 Spiritual Laws That Govern All Life. Together, we unpack how these universal principles offer a blueprint for conscious living — providing practical insight into prosperity, happiness, and spiritual alignment.Each law — from the Law of Attraction to the Law of Reflection — is a reminder that every thought, action, and intention carries energy and meaning.These teachings invite us to step out of resistance and into alignment — to see how life is always working with us, not against us.On the pod:How these laws are grouped (Basic Laws of Life; Laws of Creation; Higher Awareness; Higher Frequency) to guide different dimensions of our being. The law of attraction - how it really works.The law of karma - how we are living in a time when we have the opportunity to absolve our karma.How aligning with these spiritual laws can lead to more purpose, balance, and even enlightenment.Whether you’re new to spiritual principles or deeply familiar with them, this conversation offers clear, actionable wisdom. It’s not just metaphysical theory — it’s a guide to living more fully, intentionally, and aligned with your highest self.About: Diana has been working with the angelic realms, the angels, dragons and unicorns, since an angel appeared to her. Her mission until 2016 was to connect 7 million people to their angels.Then, after a near death experience and life review, her life was extended and she was given a new blueprint and life mission.

This episode is all about awe and how we can use awe to heighten our awareness in only a few seconds. Joining me is author Jake Eagle to discuss his latest book, The Power of Awe.  Jake and his co-author Michael Amster, have developed a simple, clinically proven practice to reduce inflammation, stress, loneliness, and burnout while improving overall well-being. The method takes less than a minute. The authors call it “microdosing mindfulness”.  With that, I invite you to experience a little bit of awe in your life today. If you felt inspired by this episode, please write a review and share this episode. Thanks for listening.
