Drawing from the Gospel of Thomas, mystic traditions, and insights echoed by Eckhart Tolle, CJ explores the difference between belief and realization, form and essence, doing and being. When presence becomes primary and effort softens, coherence emerges—and the Field of Creative Intelligence reveals itself. Want to learn more about CJ Miller? Check o...

Together, they explore what it truly means to live as a spiritually independent person—not as an idea or belief system, but as a way of being in the world. Rabbi Rami speaks candidly about 12-Step spirituality, surrender, and the...
In this Rewind episode, CJ reflects on what stayed with him after his recent conversation with intuitive artist Cameron Cohen. While re-listening to the interview, he shares a new morning ritual of doodling and how it deepened his understanding of body-led intuition. CJ explores key lessons from Cameron’s approach to energetic sensitivity and her ability to feel and register emotional information through the body. The episode weaves into CJ’s evolving somatic framework, asking simple but powe...
In this deeply embodied conversation, CJ is joined by Cameron Cohen, a Los Angeles–based intuitive artist known for her Manifestation Paintings—custom works created as living tools for clarity, alignment, and intention. Together, they explore why words often fall short and how the body becomes our most reliable guide. Cameron shares how she listens for a full-body Yes through sensation—tingling, warmth, chills, and goosebumps—and how those signals guide both her life and her art. For her, the...
After the recent events in Venezuela, I noticed my mind looping and my body tightening. I’ve always considered empathy a strength—but every strength has a shadow side. When sensitivity turns into over-identification, it stops being a gift and becomes a burden. In this video, I share a simple awareness framework: noticing thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotional tone—without becoming them. You are a drop of Spirit, not the whole ocean. You can care deeply without carrying the weight of the w...
In this special podcast episode, CJ turns on the record button during one of his real counseling sessions with breathwork and Somatic Experiencing specialist Jonathan Schechter, offering listeners an intimate look into embodied healing in real time. Together, they explore how we’re often taught to view life—and healing—through a strictly material lens, while our medical system is far less equipped to address emotional states, stress, and the nervous system. Jonathan encourages listeners to be...

He speaks openly about “hitting the wall” when chronic pain entered his life, and how choosing to share his struggle created unexpected openings. By practicing presence instead of isolation, CJ found himself in deeper relationship with others. He describes trying countless approaches to find relief—medications, exercise, physical therapy, breathwork and more. While nothing offered a quick fix, t...

Today’s guest is Tina Jacobson, a lifelong artist and spiritual explorer from Australia whose creative journey weaves art, intuition, and healing. Raised on an animal-filled farm by creative parents, Tina has spent her life immersed in design, murals, and illustration. Her coloring books, including The Colorful Life Colouring Book, invite readers to reconnect with creativity as a gentle, spiritual practice rather than a task to complete. Through years of self-discovery, Tina learned that heal...
In this deeply moving episode, CJ Miller talks with Nancy Amlin Watson, a yoga instructor who turned to her mat after the devastating loss of her child and discovered that yoga was one of the only things that made her feel “maybe not better, but just a tiny little bit less shitty.” A devoted practitioner for more than 25 years and a teacher for the past three, Nancy now helps others navigate life’s many forms of loss—whether through death, divorce, illness, job change, or even the loss of a b...

After a recent argument, I woke up with a deep ache in my chest—an emotional pain that felt stronger than the chronic pain I’ve been carrying in my hips. It reminded me how the body holds emotion, how tension can live in us for years if we don’t give it space to move. That morning, I turned to painting. I played the saddest song I could find and let the emotion pour through my brush. Painting became my way to release. When we create from that raw place, creativity becomes a healing modality. ...
How to Trust the Voice of the Heart. The heart is the most powerful portal we have. When we open it, intuition becomes our guide, leading us toward love, freedom, and authentic self-expression. In this episode, CJ Miller speaks with Natasha “Tash” Sumner, author of Accept Who You Are, whose journey from corporate burnout to spiritual coach is a story of courage and alignment. Natasha shares how she learned to step out of performance, drop the weight of people-pleasing, and instead live from t...
We’re living in a time of radical resentment — where even when people or companies change, some voices still say, “I won’t forgive them even if they change their ways.” This posture leaves no room for growth, no chance for transformation. In this episode, I reflect on how forgiveness is upheld across the world’s great faith traditions — from Christianity and Islam to Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Sikhism, the Bahá’í Faith, and Jainism — and how Shinto and Taoism teach us that forgiveness can a...

What happens when art is created not just with the hand, but from the heart? For contemplative abstract painter Chad Glazener, painting has become a spiritual practice—one that grew from his past life as a pastor and now anchors his present as an artist. His layered compositions and organic marks emerge from silence, forming a visual record of presence that invites viewers to pause, turn inward, and encounter wisdom in new ways. Rooted in a background of theater and movement, Chad brings an e...
My new book, Spiritual Parable As a Daily Practice: Modern Stories for the Spiritually Curious, invites you into a 40-day journey of alignment and inspiration. Each story was received through my connection with my higher self—spiritual lessons “downloaded” in the form of modern parables. These are not bound by religion or dogma; they are timeless truths that help you return to presence, release fear and judgment, and realign with Creative Intelligence. Just as I’ve learned to align before p...
What does it mean to create your own personal theology? In this episode, CJ Miller sits down with author and spiritual explorer Larry Jordan to review and unpack his book The Way and to discuss the journey of questioning, searching, and embracing a wide spectrum of wisdom traditions. Raised Catholic in Western Pennsylvania, Larry found himself in midlife asking life’s biggest questions: Why are we here? Where do we go when we die? His search led him through Christianity, mysticism, Eastern fa...
What if your creativity was already written into the rhythm of the Earth? In this conversation, Spiritual Artist CJ Miller sits down with visionary guide Moon Tucker, whose past work with the Spiral Return reawakened a living remembrance field carried by the Earth.

Podcast Host CJ Miller shares how both the body and the planet carry within them an incredible, built-in self-healing mechanism. Drawing from his own journey with back pain and insights from a neurosurgeon, CJ explores how Creative Intelligence restores balance when we learn to step aside and remove obstacles—whether those obstacles are false beliefs, unhealthy habits, or the ego’s need for control. With simple examples, like how a Band-Aid doesn’t heal but only protects, CJ reminds us that h...
