Rocks, stones, and crystals are a great addition to any spiritual practice. They can help ground you if you are anxious or agitated, can be used in meditation or to manifest abundance, love, and health, and can help balance your Chinese Astrology elements or improve your home's feng shui.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss the many uses and benefits of various rocks, stones, and crystals and how they use these Earth elements in their everyday lives.

Medical Intuition is the process of using one's intuition (on ourselves or others) to obtain information about the physical and energetic body, the existence of potential imbalance, illness, or disease, and the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that may be impacting one's physical or mental health.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss how medical intuition works (we think), how certain mental and emotional patterns can contribute to physical ailments, Julie's early experiments with medical intuition, and how medical intuition could used to improve the health care delivery system.  We hope you enjoy!  Follow us on Instagram @metaphysicalnomads Resources:   Anatomy of the Spirit, Caroline Myss (1997) The Science of Medical Intuition, Caroline Myss (2002) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

We can all appreciate the spiritual counselors, teachers, and mentors who show up in our lives and help us evolve as individuals and spiritually.  A "guru" is a type of spiritual teacher from the Hindu tradition, but has been adopted in the West to refer to various spiritual teachers.  But, what if a spiritual counselor or guru does not act with the best intentions and uses their influence to manipulate, assert control over, or even harm their followers?  Now we have a cult leader!  A cult is a social group that is often defined by an unusual set of religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, with devotion towards the cult's leader.  Join Julie and Halle as they discuss their experiences with their spiritual mentors, their fascination with cults, and the "red flag" warnings that you in fact may be dealing with a cult.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

It seems like psychics are everywhere--bookstores, street fairs, strip malls, and even available by telephone or internet.  But, can psychics really predict the future?  Are they more intuitive than the rest of us and, if so, is intuition something that we can develop and trust in ourselves?  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss what it means to be "psychic" and share stories of their experiences with psychics and how we can all use our own intuition to improve our day to day lives.   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

Finally--a Metaphysical Nomads podcast that is backed by science!  There are many benefits of meditation, including stress reduction, emotional health, self-awareness, enhanced mindfulness, a feeling of connection with others.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss their experiences with meditation and why you shouldn't get stressed about the "right way" to meditate.  There are many different ways to take advantage of this practice and there is no "one size fits all" approach.  Find out what works best for you and enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

A "Walk In" is a soul that has entered into a contractual agreement with another soul to take over the first soul's human body for some period of time, usually for purposes related to each soul's evolution.  This may be temporary or for the rest of the human body's Earth life, and two souls may even share the same human body.  This transition is said to happen when the departing soul's human body experiences some trauma or near death experience and the person's personality may undergo drastic changes as a result.  So, is this is really a soul walk in event or just signs of neurological damage as scientists would like us to believe?  In this podcast, Julie and Halle share their understanding of "Walk Ins" and Julie tells her favorite Walk In story -- that of T. Lobsang Rampa (aka Cyril Henry Hoskin).  We hope you enjoy! Resources: The Third Eye, T. Lobsang Rampa (1956) The Cave of the Ancients, T. Lobsang Rampa (1963) You Forever, T.

Ever wanted to attend a "spiritual" retreat?  These retreats typically involve a gathering of like-minded people, with a spiritual leader, and activities, events, and exercises designed to help encourage personal and collective healing, release, and spiritual growth.  In this podcast, Julie shares her introduction to and experiences at these retreats, including a yoga retreat in Costa Rica that wasn't quite as "spiritual" as planned.  We hope you enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

Chinese (or Eastern) Astrology is a practice used to explain, interpret, and predict events and human behaviors. It uses a person's date and time of birth to determine their characteristics, described by four (out of 12) animals on the Chinese Zodiac, their balance of natural elements (fire, earth, wood, metal, or water), and whether they express the yin (less aggressive ) or yang (more aggressive) aspects of each sign and element.  Chinese Astrology can also be used together with Feng Shui to create and maintain balance in one's life.  In this episode, Julie and Halle talk about the 12 Chinese Astrology signs and why they prefer it to Western Astrology.    Resources:  https://www.fourpillars.net/online4p.php https://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/TDB/AnimalSign.asp?SunYear=1967&SunMonth=6&SunDay=12&B1=Find+Your+Birth+Chart+Signs  The New Chinese Astrology, Suzanne White --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

Who says we can't have everything we want?  Manifesting is the concept that you can create something real in your life through meditation, intent, belief, action, attraction, or even gratitude.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle talk about their attempts at manifesting and share stories of when it actually worked.  You'll never guess what happened when Halle manifested being a student at Hogwarts! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

Divination tools are items that can be used to predict the future, provide perspective, offer support, or help with decision-making.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss various divination tools that they have used throughout the years, including Runes, Tarot Cards, Oracle Cards, Pendulums, and let's not forget the ever-popular Magic Eight Ball!

In this podcast, Halle shares her understanding of Starseeds, Forerunners, and Earthlings and why she thinks she is a Pleiadian Starseed.  The concept here is that our souls originate or gravitate towards certain places in the Universe.  Starseeds have spent most of their time (and incarnations) in other star systems, while Earthlings are souls that have spent most of their time on Earth (and usually only Earth).  Forerunners are advanced Earthlings, having learned important lessons during their many lives on Earth or from visiting other star systems.  If you want to know if you are a Starseed, watch the video below!  Resources:  Hayden Crawford, https://numerologist.com/astrology/12-signs-starseed/  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss Mediums.  The basic concept is that we never really "die" and when we leave our physical bodies, our soul or spirit/energy body resides in another plane of existence.  Mediums are people who can access this non-physical realm and receive and share messages from the departed (and vice versa).  Mediums have been featured on television shows such as "The Long Island Medium," "Crossing Over with John Edwards," and "Life After Death with Tyler Henry."  With all the media attention and credible stories, there must be some truth to it (at least we hope so)!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

Astral Projection is an out of body experience (OBE) in which one's "subtle" energy body leaves the physical body and can be projected to, and experience, different locations and dimensions. The individual projecting the astral body is fully conscious and will have full recollection of the experience.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss their desire and various attempts to experience astrally project and what happened to Julie when it finally worked!   Resources:  Exploring Your Inner Reality:  A Guidebook to Astral Projections and the Out-of Body Experience, by Jonas Ridgeway (2016) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

Everyone seems to talk about "Chakras" these days, but are they really?  In this podcast, Julie and Halle discuss these "spinning wheels of energy" in the human body and their location, color, and purpose.  Halle shares her process for balancing and clearing Chakras, which can promote both physical and emotional healing, while Julie questions whether there are really only seven Chakras, as many believe. Regardless, they are an interesting concept and an important part of energy healing work.   Resources: For additional information on Chakra balancing and energy work, listen to our podcast, "Reiki and Energy Healing" --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

The Akashic Records are said to house every soul's entire journey -- past, present, and future.  A person can access their soul's records directly or through a trained Akashic Record practitioner.  The information gathered may be used to benefit the person in this lifetime, for example, by providing a higher perspective on relationships, healing past traumas, and enhancing spiritual growth.  In this podcast, Julie and Halle will walk you through how to access your Akashic Records and share their very different "Akashic Record Massage" experiences.   This is one episode you don't want to miss! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metaphysicalnomads/message

Reincarnation is the religious or spiritual belief that our non-physical essence (or soul) may experience multiple lives on this planet, in human, animal, or possibly another form.  Some believe that a person can access their past lives through past life regression techniques, which can benefit the person in this lifetime.  In this episode,  Julie shares her initial skepticism and experiences with past life regressions. Julie and Halle then share their favorite reincarnation stories and favorite TV show on the subject. Regardless of your beliefs, reincarnation is fun to think about and makes for excellent party conversation.
