On this episode of New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce's A.R.E., hosts Karen and Will welcome Suzanne, the Prison Services Coordinator at the A.R.E. Suzanne shares how the program builds bridges of hope and compassion for incarcerated individuals through mentorship, study groups, and access to Cayce's work. With the help of dedicated volunteers, every prison guest is paired with a mentor, letters are carefully processed, and donated books are stamped and sent to prison libraries across the country. Many inmates also send artwork and reflections, which Suzanne features on the podcast as a reminder of the beauty that emerges when connection and service meet. For Suzanne, who first discovered the A.R.E. as a teenager, this work is more than a role—it is a calling. After a diverse career and raising her family, she felt drawn back to the organization to help extend the wisdom and compassion of the Cayce material to those who need it most.
On this episode of 'New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.', host Karen and Will dive into intuitive gifts and psychic development with featured guest, Happy Ali. Happy is the author of The Intuition Bible: How and Why to Tap into Your Inner Wisdom and the Charisma Within. With a BA degree in psychology from UCLA, he is a generational prophetic dreamer and intuitive, certified master NLP practitioner, certified master clinical hypnotherapist, and host of the Happy Insights podcast. His spiritual journey began in 1995 when he dedicated his life to the exploration of metaphysical disciplines after a near-death experience that inspired a dramatic awakening. Now, Happy teaches and shares the Subconscious Manifestation Methodology he created globally. Trusting your intuition means choosing to honor the quiet, immediate knowing that arises within you and allowing your inner voice to lead without logic or proof. It's a sacred act of self-belonging, recognizing that your soul already knows what your mind is trying to figure out. By listening deeply, responding to subtle cues, and acting on the guidance you receive, you signal to the universe and to your own spirit that you are ready to naturally begin awakening your spiritual and psychic gifts.
On this episode of New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce's A.R.E., hosts will Karen and Will are joined by psychic, healer, and teacher Echo Bodine. Echo first discovered her gifts as a teenager, and later—as a young hairstylist—found herself delivering profound messages to clients without them realizing she was reading them. Over the decades, she has grown into one of the most respected voices in the field of psychic development. Echo shares the story of how a psychic first revealed that her entire family carried these abilities, how her gifts became stronger in her twenties, and what she has learned after more than sixty years of practice. She emphasizes why developing psychic gifts takes patience, why a spiritual coach can be invaluable, and how learning to interpret intuitive "pictures" is a lifelong journey. In this conversation, Echo reflects on her path, her passion for teaching through her Tuesday Night Talks and classes at The Center for Spiritual Development, and why she believes intuition is a skill anyone can nurture with time, trust, and openness.
On this episode of New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce's A.R.E., hosts Karen and Will welcome psychic medium and spiritual counselor Kimberly. A fourth-generation intuitive, Kimberly has spent over twelve years working with Spirit through Tarot, Oracle, and Mediumship to help seekers gain clarity and guidance on their journeys. Kimberly shares how Tarot can be a powerful tool for learning but explains why mediumship requires no cards or external aids—only trust in Spirit. She emphasizes that there are no "bad" cards in Tarot, the importance of cleansing your energy and space before a reading, and how messages sometimes arrive days before she knows who they're meant for. For her, Spirit is not something to fear, but rather a circle of friends who honor her with their visits. She reminds listeners that psychic and mediumship gifts are not reserved for a few—they live within all of us, waiting to be developed with patience and practice.
On this episode of New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce's A.R.E., host Karen is joined by Mark Anthony, JD Psychic Explorer® (the Psychic Lawyer®). A fourth-generation psychic medium and Oxford-educated attorney, Mark blends his background in science, history, and theology with his extraordinary ability to connect with the unseen. In this conversation, Mark shares how he first realized his psychic gifts, how the passing of his mother became a turning point in embracing his mediumship, and the profound lessons he's learned through his own near-death experience. Together, they also explore the different types of near-death experiences people encounter, and what these stories reveal about the mysteries of life, death, and the afterlife. Mark is the author of three bestselling books—Never Letting Go, Evidence of Eternity, and The Afterlife Frequency—and co-hosts the livestream show The Psychic & The Doc. His work continues to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, guiding others to understand the continuity of the soul and the healing power of connection.

Host Karen welcomes historian and researcher Jim Windisch, owner of Heroic Moments Sports Memorabilia and a lifelong explorer of ancient history. Jim's fascination with the mysteries of the past began in childhood after reading Chariots of the Gods and visiting excavation sites in Illinois, including Nauvoo and Dickson Mounds. These early experiences sparked a lifelong quest that has taken him across the Americas in search of evidence for lost civilizations. Jim shares his journeys to sacred sites—from North America's indigenous mound complexes to the precisely carved stone walls of Peru—where the energy and craftsmanship suggest a reality beyond conventional history. Influenced by works such as Fingerprints of the Gods and deeply inspired by Edgar Cayce's readings on Lemuria, Jim believes this ancient spiritual civilization left lasting imprints on humanity. He encourages seekers to explore both Cayce's writings and James Churchward's research for deeper insights into our collective past. In this conversation, Jim reflects on how these mysteries have shaped his spiritual growth, why he believes Lemuria truly existed, and what its enduring influence reveals about the evolution of the soul. Jim will also be a featured presenter at the Unveil the Truth: Ancient Mysteries and Cosmic Connections conference, taking place October 2–5, 2025.

Exploring this guidance, conversing with your higher self, and recalling past lives through regression hypnosis may help define what to work on and what to let go of. Curious about pre-life planning sessions, soul pods, unfinished business, and the tools necessary to resolve karmic debt?
