Description
Are you on the verge of a radical transformation? Can you feel a spiritual awakening creating a vision for the future? If you’re ready for a rebirth and you don’t know where to begin, you’re in the right place. My name is Levi. I was a meth addict, living a self destructive lifestyle about to lose it all when I had a spiritual awakening that showed me the real power of self love, forgiveness and my oneness with Source. Today, I am a Tony Award winning actor, thriving singer-songwriter and licensed spiritual practitioner. Your journey may be different from mine, but if a path to radical personal and spiritual transformation is calling you, then you are already equipped to actualize that journey for yourself. If you're asking “how do I change who I am”, if you lack the motivation, the discipline or things like law of attraction, mindfulness and meditation seem unfamiliar, even silly to you, then let me help you make it fun, practical and tangible.Spirituality is not that serious. We can learn how to enjoy the process and even find humor in it. I believe that heaven is in the now moment. I make a bold claim when I say that paradise is yours to the degree you can imagine it. But I mean it. Your heaven is now. The moment is now. Start to imagine your paradise today.

Recovering addicts here in San Francisco will tell you first hand there is a direct correlation between homelessness and substance abuse. Local ex-homeless/ex-addicts will attest that 8 out of every 10 people on the street are struggling with addiction. Over 75% of unsheltered have a drug or alcohol addiction and a similar number have a severe mental health disorder. So why are we constantly marketed the idea that this is primarily a poverty problem and housing is the solution? You can build all the housing in the world and get homeless off the street so you don’t have to look at us, but if we are struggling with drug addiction and mental illness, we're just housed dealing with drug addiction and mental illness. In 2020, the death rate among San Francisco homeless doubled. They condone this behavior and even help promote it with harm reduction policies that blur the line between harm reduction and drug promotion. Caroline Shores Thrush is back and we’re giving you a recovering addict’s perspective on the “compassionate” policies she witnessed while working in the non-profit sector with transitional housing here in San Francisco.

Forgiveness is not easy to come by sometimes, but nine times outta ten we are the ones that are still suffering - not them. We are the only ones hurting by holding on to it. Sometimes all the universe needs to hear is that little whisper from us that says "I am willing". Just asking the universe to show us what we need to let go of - to show us who we need to become in order to forgive - it sets things in motion. In this episode, I discuss the experience that informed my song Left Over and encourage all of us to lay claim to our own personal freedom through the power of forgiveness. Support the show
Did you know that those of us who are prone to addiction are a special little breed with a natural inclination towards spiritual transcendence? The problem is that we are seeking that transcendental experience through false substitutes. When we realize that spirituality is the door to that transcendence, something clicks for us and we find a profound power. If we daily invest in a spiritual solution, life can be a daily high that only Spirit can provide. In this episode, I use my song Love In Another Light from my debut album One Of The Ones to tell my own journey from addiction to recovery.Support the show
Emotions are our internal guidance system. They are to be observed and evaluated, but not necessarily absorbed as our identity. Becoming the observer of our emotions creates a healthy distance between feeling and "being" that feeling. "I am angry" vs "I have anger" is notably different vibration. Instead of identifying with every rush of emotion we have, it is possible to become the thoughtful observer of our feelings and follow them down to the fundamental belief that is supporting that feeling. In this episode, discussion is inspired by my song I Should Go from my debut album One Of The Ones. Support the show
