In this solo episode, Cinthia Varkevisser shares a full-circle ghost experience in Rockridge, Oakland—inside the Rockridge Improvement Club (aka The RIC). What started as a journalistic investigation into a possible ghost turned into a powerful lesson in energetic alignment, space consciousness, and what really happens when humans and unseen energies come into agreement.You’ll hear how different types of energy showed up in one building—misaligned energy, accumulated emotional residue, vortex-like movement, and a very specific female entity lovingly dubbed The Lady of the RIC. This isn’t a séance. It’s a practical, grounded exploration of how spaces hold memory, intention, and identity.Cinthia breaks down how she works with entities (commonly called ghosts), the three options they’re always given, and why consent and compatibility matter in energetic healing. The episode wraps with a conversation between Cinthia and journalist Liam, editor of The Rockridge News, unpacking the experience—and the surprising real-world results that followed.If you’re curious about ghosts, house healing, energy work, or how aligned spaces create real-world momentum… buckle up.🔗 Learn more about The Rockridge Improvement Club (The R.I.C.)https://www.thericoakland.com🔗 Learn more about The Ghost Experience through the Rockridge Newshttps://rockridge.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/RN.01.26.pdf🌿 Learn more about Michelle:https://www.michellewalters.net🌿 Cinthia can be reached at:https://www.cinthiavarkevisser.comIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a little more calm, confidence, or clarity.#MindPowerMeetsMystic#TrueGhostStory#HouseHealing#EnergeticSpaces#SpiritualShitDisturber#OaklandStories#GhostExperience#AlignedEnergy#MysticLife#TheRIC#RCPC#RockridgeNews
In this solo episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, Michelle Walters shares the story behind the creation of Make My Hypno—a personalized self-hypnosis app designed to make subconscious transformation more accessible, affordable, and tailored to the individual.After years of working one-on-one as a hypnotherapist with clients who had “big fish to fry,” Michelle realized that many more people could benefit from hypnosis if they had something created specifically for them. Not a generic recording. Not a one-size-fits-all meditation. But a session that uses their name, their goals, and imagery that speaks directly to their subconscious.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why generic hypnosis recordings often fall shortHow personalized self-hypnosis supports real behavior changeWhat inspired the creation of Make My HypnoA simple walkthrough of how the app creates a custom recordingA short audio excerpt from a personalized hypnosis session✨ What users are saying:“Make My Hypno turned the few details I shared into something so personal, it moved me to tears. It’s become my go-to whenever I need a moment of peace.” — HollyThis episode is an invitation to explore how gentle, consistent subconscious support can create meaningful shifts—sometimes immediately, and sometimes over time—without pressure or overwhelm.🔗 Create your personalized hypnosis recording:https://www.makemyhypno.com🌿 Learn more about Michelle:https://www.michellewalters.net🌿 Cinthia can be reached at:https://www.cinthiavarkevisser.com/If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a little more calm, confidence, or clarity.#MindPowerMeetsMystic#MakeMyHypno#Hypnotherapy#SelfHypnosis#PersonalizedHypnosis#SubconsciousMind#PersonalGrowth#StressRelief#ConfidenceBuilding#WellnessPodcast
As the year winds down, Cinthia Varkevisser and Michelle Walters dive into a conversation most people avoid: closure.In this episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, we explore why how you end something directly affects what you step into next—whether that’s a job, a relationship, a year, or an identity. Closure isn’t about making things “nice.” It’s about being clean and clear on your side, even if the other person isn’t happy about it.Michelle shares deeply personal stories about grief, loss, and unfinished endings—from the death of her husband, to navigating loss during the pandemic, to learning how incomplete closure can prolong pain. Cinthia brings her signature strategic intuition, breaking down why messiness follows you when you don’t consciously close the door—and how clarity creates momentum.The conversation weaves through relationships, dating, family dynamics, estrangement, grief, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to end things honestly. You’ll hear real-life examples of what clean closure looks like in action—and why you don’t have to wait for December 31st to reset your life.If you’re feeling the nudge to wrap something up, release an old chapter, or make space for what’s next, this episode is your permission slip.Because clean endings create powerful beginnings.📩 Connect with Us:Cinthia Varkevisser: Website | Social MediaMichelle Walters: Website | Social Media | MakeMyHypno🎧 Thank you for listening!

Episode Summary:In this solo episode, Cinthia breaks down the energetic anatomy of your home — the “heart,” the “stomach,” and the homes that mysteriously have neither. She explains how your home mirrors you, how its energy influences your mood, motivation, and clarity, and how you can intentionally create the energetic center your home might be missing.What We Cover:What the “Heart of the Home” really isHow house energy connects to the chakra systemThe difference between a heart house, a stomach house, and a no-center houseWhy your home reflects your inner world (even when you don’t want it to)How to intuitively identify your home’s energetic centerWhat to do if your home doesn’t have oneSimple ways to create or strengthen the heart of your homeHow your home and you are in an energetic agreemenWhy house energy can shift your emotional and spiritual wellbeingCinthia’s House Healing Insight:Your home is always responding to you.Your mood, your stress, your joy, your denial — it all shows up in the energy of your space. When you understand whether your home has a heart, a stomach, or neither, you understand how to work with that energy instead of fighting it. And when you shift your home, you shift your life.Takeaways:The heart of the home isn’t a room — it’s a feeling.A stomach-centered home isn’t “bad”; it’s driven, focused energy.A home with no center can be healed by creating a dedicated energetic anchor.You and your home are in a relationship — it mirrors everything you bring into it.Intuition is your best tool for reading your space.Contact usCinthia Varkevisser: Website | Social MediaMichelle Walters: Website | Social Media | MakeMyHypno
