Gateways to Awakening

Dear Community, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Elizabeth April, internationally recognized remote viewer, author, and intuitive teacher, for a mind-expanding conversation on quantum reality, timelines, anxiety, the Galactic Federation, disclosure, and the future of human consciousness.We begin by exploring the relationship between quantum mechanics and consciousness, and why Elizabeth believes reality is rendered through observation. From there, we dive into the power of awareness, how small choices can shift us into new timelines, and why so many people are living on autopilot rather than consciously creating their lives.Elizabeth also shares her perspective on 2026–2028 as a pivotal window for collective awakening, why humanity is being asked to choose between love and fear, and what she sees unfolding around ET disclosure, the Galactic Federation, and global timelines.We also explore her powerful framework around past, present, and future anxiety, and why healing anxiety requires understanding its relationship to time, trauma, and our focus on possible realities. This conversation is both cosmic and deeply practical—an invitation to step out of distraction, reclaim your sovereignty, and consciously choose the reality you want to live in.“The most important choice humanity is being asked to make right now is simple: love or fear, unity or separation.” - Elizabeth April We talk about the following and so much more: The connection between quantum mechanics and consciousnessWhy awareness is the gateway to intuition, spirituality, and creationHow to consciously shift timelines through small daily choicesWhy 2026–2028 may be a major turning point for humanityElizabeth’s perspective on the Galactic Federation and disclosureThe difference between past, present, and future anxietyWhy distraction keeps people disconnected from their powerHow to ask for more out of life—and be ready to receive itWhat it means to choose between love and fear, unity and separationIf you’ve been feeling the intensity of this moment, this episode offers a powerful reminder: your awareness is your superpower, your energy matters, and the timeline you live in is more malleable than you may think.Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness. We would love to hear from you! What did you take away from this episode? Tag us and let us know. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT555, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.In this episode, we explore: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).

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Jose Maria Barrera, software engineer, photographer, and author of Dendera: Temple of Time, to explore one of the most mysterious and symbolically rich temples in all of Egypt — the Temple of Dendera.What begins as a conversation about ancient architecture quickly becomes something much deeper: a meditation on language, time, symbols, divinity, and the difference between modern precision and ancient wholeness.Jose bridges two worlds effortlessly — the scientific and the symbolic. As a data architect and lifelong student of Egyptian cosmology, he invites us to reconsider what we think we know about ancient civilizations. We explore:• Why the ceiling of Dendera — with its pristine zodiac — stunned Napoleon’s scholars • How astrology is “science expressed in symbols” • The difference between precision (modern language) and wholeness (symbolic language) • Why ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were considered sacred sounds • The cyclical nature of time — and why linear thinking may limit our perception • The Nile as a living metaphor for life, death, and rebirth • Why the builders of Dendera weren’t building for “future civilizations” — but for eternityJose offers a profound reframe: the ancient Egyptians were not obsessed with death — they were celebrating life in its most finite and divine expression.This episode is a reminder that symbols are not primitive thinking — they are a different lens of intelligence.And perhaps most importantly:The world is not made of matter. It is made of meaning.1. Time is cyclical, not linear. Everything we measure — clocks, seasons, lunar cycles, the Nile flooding — is circular. The ancients lived inside this understanding.2. Astrology is symbolic astronomy. The zodiac at Dendera reflects Babylonian, Greek, and Egyptian synthesis — science encoded through sacred imagery.3. Precision and wholeness are two different intelligences. Modern civilization optimized for precision. Ancient civilizations optimized for symbolic integration.4. Language shapes reality. In ancient Egypt, sounds themselves were divine. To speak was to invoke god.5. Symbols preserve eternity. The Egyptians inscribed images in stone not for “future humans,” but because the symbols themselves were sacred and timeless.6. Life is divine because it ends. The finite nature of existence is what makes it miraculous.“Remember that from the moment you are born until the moment you die, you are the center of the universe. Every moment you experience is at the center of the universe — because everything is around you.”“They (The Egyptians) did not build for future civilizations. They built for eternity.”Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Dear Friends, You wont want to miss this episode, especially if you're tracking what's happening in the Middle East. In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Laura Eisenhower, global alchemist and founder of CosmicGaia.org, and great-granddaughter of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, for a deeply expansive conversation on astrology, collective timelines, and the energetic dynamics shaping our world.Laura shares why she sees linear time as increasingly fluid and why astrology is best understood as a map of cycles and probabilities rather than fixed prediction. Together, we explore the South Node in Virgo / North Node in Pisces axis and what it is teaching humanity about mind–body–spirit integration and learning to trust the body’s intelligence. We also dive into the powerful outer-planet alignments, including Saturn and Neptune, and what they may be dissolving within old authority structures. A key part of our conversation explores Laura’s research into the Iran region as a significant energetic gateway within the planetary stargate framework, and how she believes trauma loops and reversal patterns in key global locations can ripple through the collective field. “We don’t want to lose ourselves to the fear and the outcome — we want to hold what we want to see.” - Laura Eisenhower In this episode, we explore:- The dissolving illusion of linear time and “divine timing”- South Node Virgo → North Node Pisces integration- Saturn–Neptune dynamics and collapsing old structures- Nervous system regulation as a spiritual technology- Discernment in the age of information overload- Iran and the 10th Gate in Laura’s planetary stargate framework- Reversal timelines and collective trauma loops- Planetary grids and global energetic hotspots- Working with water, prayer, and emotional coherence- Choosing love, family, and community in volatile timesIf you have been feeling the intensity of the current moment, this conversation offers both cosmic context and grounded tools to help you stay centered, sovereign, and connected to your inner knowing.Guest: Laura EisenhowerWebsite: CosmicGaia.orgIf you enjoyed this episode we would love to hear from you!

What if gold isn’t just a commodity… but a spiritual technology? In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Zach Zublena, healing artist, painter, transformational breathwork facilitator, and spiritual photographer, whose work centers on what he calls the sacred frequency of gold: a radiant, protective, awakening field that helps people remember their divine essence.Zach shares the surprising journey that began as an artistic experiment in 2016, painting bodies in gold, until a near-death experience reoriented his entire path and revealed gold as a transmission: not about status or wealth, but sovereignty, remembrance, and ascension. Together, we explore why ancient civilizations revered gold as “the flesh of the gods,” how cultures from Egypt and Mesopotamia to the Inca and Vedic tradition approached gold as sacred, and why modern extraction and hoarding distort its original purpose.We also dive into- The lived, practical side of working with gold as a frequency- Gold meditations, energetic shielding, heart coherence, sound/resonance- The way art can bypass the mind and speak directly to the soul.- How his transformational breathwork sessions guide people into theta states where gold becomes an embodied experienceIf you’ve ever felt that gold “does something” to your field, or you’re curious about beauty as a portal, spiritual sovereignty, and the alchemy of matter and consciousness, this conversation will expand your framework.Guest: Zach ZublenaWebsite: ZZGallery.comBook: The Sacred Frequency of Gold (available on Amazon)Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.You can also check out my latest book A Glitch In the Matrix, here.

Dear Friends,In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Doug Hilton, a counselor with over 30 years of experience supporting clients through trauma, addiction recovery, and couples/family dynamics, and a Certified Universal Healing Tao instructor who has integrated Qigong into his clinical practice for two decades. Doug is also the co-author (with Master Mantak Chia) of The Tao of Addiction and Recovery, a book that reframes addiction through a Taoist lens: not as a moral failure, but as a system-level imbalance—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.Together, we explore:- Why Doug describes addiction as an imbalance in the system, and how that insight emerged through Taoist training in Thailand- What Taoism is (and what it is not): a spiritual system rooted in living in harmony with nature, without dogma or forced belief- How addiction develops through natural human tendencies (adaptation, denial, pain avoidance) that can become exploited over time- The Taoist view of recovery as harmony over willpower, and why inner balance reduces the “need to medicate”- A practical, grounding Qigong entry point: breathing into the lower Dantian (“Where the mind goes, the chi follows”)- The Inner Smile Meditation and the elemental organ system—how sequencing (wood → fire vs. water → fire) supports balance- Doug’s work bridging Western therapy and Taoist energetics: EMDR, trauma, and Taoist Emotional Recycling (TER)- A simple guided TER eye-movement practice you can try (when you are not driving) to support emotional clearing- Shame, guilt, relapse, and how restoring flow through the “garden hose” system of energy channels changes recovery outcomes- Why sexuality and sexual energy are often neglected in mainstream recovery—and how Taoist practices help integrate it with care- Doug also shares his personal journey—how Taoism “found him” long before he fully understood it—and why he believes this work matters not only for people facing addiction, but for anyone touched by it.Resources & LinksDoug Hilton: fullcirclehealing.caThailand program: balancerhehab.solutionsBook: The Tao of Addiction and Recovery Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

She shares her signature “soul exercise” for transforming fear, anger, and frustration into higher emotional states like trust and peace, and explains how tuning into the soul’s perspective can clarify purpose, strengthen intuition, and support healing across the body, brain, and spirit.Together, Yasmeen and Cindy explore how external chaos becomes internal noise — and how learning to work with that noise can become a powerful path of awakening, alignment, and self-leadership.In this episode, you’ll learn:How to distinguish between the voice of the personality and the voice of the soulA simple, repeatable process for transforming fear into trust through higher perspectiveWhy we are often here to master just a few core emotions — and how to work with themHow intuition, prayer, and emotional awareness guide purpose and decision-makingThe role of brain health and root-cause healing in spiritual and emotional well-beingTune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Hi Everyone, In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Jason Dilts, a yogi, writer, evolutionary astrologer, and certified KRI Kundalini Yoga instructor, for a wide-ranging, deeply practical conversation on how we evolve, how we liberate old storylines, and how we actually work with energy in a way that changes real life.We explore - What makes evolutionary astrology different (spoiler: it’s not “fate,” it’s a living map), - Why Pluto is the key to the soul, and how the North Node / South Node axis reveals the evolutionary storyline you came here to live. - Jason breaks down the planet, Pluto, through the generations (Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius) and how each cohort is shaping the collective, and what it means that we’re moving into a year where multiple outer planets shift signs, resetting the energetic grid beneath humanity.- Kundalini Yoga as a multidimensional technology. We talk about Kundalini as the yoga of angles and triangles, how mantra moves energy (not just emotion), and why developing a strong nervous system is essential in these times. - Jason also shares a powerful overview of the 10 Bodies system. - We also go into Vastu, sacred spatial alignment through gemstones, yantras, and planetary intelligence, and why building an intimate relationship with planetary archetypes can create major shifts in your home, your nervous system, and your life trajectory.“You are alive at the turning of the ages… and what you do with your gifts helps rewrite the timeline.” - Jason DiltsIf you’ve ever felt the pull to understand your chart beyond “sun sign astrology,” or you’ve sensed that 2026–2028 is a threshold timeline, this episode is for you.​Connect with Jason:Find him on Instagram/TikTok/YouTube at @TegAkaldeepHe offers one-on-one readings and teaches in Los Angeles at Babaje.You can also sign up for our 4-week Beginner Vastu and Evolutionary Astrology class on February 26th with Tashi Powers, which is not to be missed!

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Robert Lee Camp, leading authority on the ancient science of the cards and author of the best-selling book Love Cards and Cards of Your Destiny. Robert has spent more than three decades researching, teaching, and translating this once-hidden system into a practical tool for modern life.Together, we explore what “destiny cards” actually are, why a standard deck of playing cards mirrors the calendar year with uncanny mathematical precision, and how this system works as a form of spiritual psychology that is both predictive and deeply revealing. Robert shares the lineage of the work through his teacher Arnie Lean, and traces the system back through historical sources such as Olney Richmond’s The Mystic Test Book, including the idea that the cards were used as an esoteric framework for understanding fate, karma, and human nature.

Dear Community, This episode is a little different—in the best way.Host, Yasmeen Turayhi, hands the mic to her friend Bella Shing for an intimate, real conversation about Yasmeen’s new book, A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life —a practical guide to waking up from unconscious patterning and stepping into conscious authorship. Grounded in 15+ years on the personal development path and 250+ interviews on Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen distills what she’s learned into 10 core Energy Codes designed to help you shift your identity, reclaim your energy, and create from coherence rather than conditioning.Together, Yasmeen and Bella explore what a “glitch” actually is: the moment you see the program running your life—and realize you don’t have to keep living it. They talk about the “Matrix” as a cultural agreement built on conditional worth and performance, how people unknowingly give their power away every day, and why identity is the real engine behind long-term change. The conversation also moves into energy mastery—presence, embodiment, intuition, nervous system capacity—and why levity, play, and humor are not distractions from the sacred, but often the doorway into it.If you’ve ever felt like you’re living on autopilot, this episode is a transmission back to your agency.In this episode, you’ll learn:1. What a “glitch in the matrix” really is—and how to recognize it in your own life2. How the “Matrix” functions as a dominant cultural program built on conditional worth3. The most common ways we give our power away (and how to call it back)4. Why identity is the reason most people don’t change—and how to use identity intentionally5. How intuition differs from fear (and what “nonlinear knowing” feels like)6. Why embodiment and nervous system capacity are essential for real transformation7. How karma, resonance, and energetic “accounting” shape what comes back to you8. The role of humor and play in spiritual maturity—sacred doesn’t have to mean seriousAbout the book: A Glitch in the Matrix is Yasmeen’s love letter to the world—an accessible, grounded framework for energy mastery, presence, and conscious creation, written for anyone ready to stop sleepwalking through life and start living from inner authority.About the guest host: Bella Shing is an artist and creator living in Lisbon.

For over 25 years, Maria has helped people break trauma patterns, reclaim soul fragments, and reconnect to the living web of life.We explore what it actually means to be a multidimensional human—through dreams, astral travel, intuition, and quantum DNA—and how many of us are unknowingly living inside “false timelines” that pull us away from our authentic soul path. Maria explains how to recognize when you’re off your true timeline, how fragmentation occurs through trauma, and how to begin calling your soul parts back through the body, somatic awareness, and loving adult consciousness.We also dive into:Working consciously on the astral plane: silver cord, solar plexus portal, and why nightmares are often a recall mechanismReversal grids, the “inverted pyramid,” and shifting from over-giving to receiving support from the universePsychic interference and entities—and why Maria lives by the mantra “I have no enemies”Planetary ascension, solar light, changing Earth grids, and what acceleration in 2026–2027 might really be aboutGrief as a teacher and how being forged in the fire of loss can open us to deeper compassion and embodied loveIf you’ve ever felt like you’re in the wrong reality, stuck in loops, or exhausted by unseen energies, this conversation offers both language and practice for coming back to your highest timeline—through love, sovereignty, and wholeness.Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen speaks with transformational guide Sascha Haert to explore the deeper architecture of intimacy, embodiment, and authentic relating. Sascha works with women leaders who have achieved external success but still feel disconnected from themselves. Together, they unpack why relational patterns repeat, how to build partnerships rooted in truth rather than performance, and what it means to live from your deepest intelligence, the intelligence of the body.This conversation illuminates the subtle ways we abandon ourselves, how to reclaim our needs with integrity, and why intimacy always begins with honest self-resonance.“Intimacy only works when you stop performing and start telling the truth — not the dramatic truth, but the embodied one.” — Sascha HaertKey TakeawaysWhy many high-performing individuals struggle with intimacy and self-connectionHow the nervous system shapes our ability to stay open, present, and receptiveThe two pillars that Sascha believes every relationship needs to thriveHow to express truth without collapsing into reactivity or performanceWhy sensuality is a doorway to self-awareness, not just pleasureHow polyamory can act as a healing phase — and where it becomes a bypassPractical tools to speak the unspoken and build authentic connectionsHow to recognize and stop subtle self-abandonment in real timeThe difference between compatibility and resonanceWhat it means to live from “yes” instead of fear, obligation, or patternYou can find Sascha Haert on IG here.

Hey Friends, This episode was spectacular.  In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Jennifer Hough, best-selling author of UNSTUCK and founder of The Wide Awakening, to explore what it means to become a “cosmic instigator”, someone who catalyzes quantum leaps in love, business, and consciousness. Jennifer unpacks the science and spirit of holographic seeing, describing how we can perceive reality beyond linear time, and how thriving—not surviving—becomes the entry point to expanded awareness.“You can’t imagine something that doesn’t already exist. Imagination is simply the door to a parallel reality that’s waiting for you to step into it.” -Jennifer HoughWe talk about the following and so much more:What it really means to “quantum jump” into a parallel realityWhy paradigm shifts can rewrite hundreds of beliefs at onceHow resistance is simply feedback guiding us toward flowThe role of biology in attuning to new dimensions of beingThe illusion of control — and how to partner with universal intelligence insteadYou’ll get a free month's access for the Agents of Awakening course through this link: https://thewideawakening.com/aoa-30day-ac/?referredby1=Yasmeen%20Turayhi.

Dear Friends, I took so many notes during this conversation!  In this illuminating episode of Gateways to Awakening, host I speak with Candice Covington, author of Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice and Vibrational Nutrition and her latest book,  Floral Absolutes: Aromatic Healing for the Physical, Emotional, and Energy Body, about the living intelligence of the plant world — and how food, scent, and essence each carry unique energetic signatures that can shape our consciousness.Drawing from her background in Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and energy medicine, Candice reveals how every plant, from okra to rose, raspberry to pomegranate, holds a vibrational pattern that mirrors aspects of the human soul. She explains how subtle energies from plants can help us restore emotional balance, clear karmic imprints, protect our energetic boundaries, and even catalyze creativity and heart awakening. Whether you’re new to the language of subtle energy or already working with essential oils and vibrational healing, this conversation will remind you that plants are living blueprints of the divine reflections of our own multidimensional intelligence.We talk about the following and more:1) The connection between vibrational nutrition, flower and food energetics, and archetypal forces in nature — showing how plants are not passive resources, but conscious allies in our evolution. 2) Why certain foods call to you at specific moments, how to select oils for emotional healing and protection, and how the act of eating, anointing, or smelling becomes a sacred dialogue with life itself.3) Tangible guidance for empaths, creatives, and anyone seeking to reclaim their vitality and inner sovereignty through plant consciousness.If this episode spoke to you: please share it, tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts — it helps these conversations reach more people. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.
