“Ignore the bulls**t that’s happening in your current reality, and focus on what it is you want– your desired reality. It’s going to take discipline, commitment and f**king delusion.” Raven explains how to brainwash yourself in order to manifest your desired reality.In this episode, Raven talks about the importance of auditing your thoughts since they inform our beliefs and influence the actions that create our reality. She then takes us through the six steps to brainwash yourself, starting with making the empowered decision to do so. Raven explains that our perception creates our reality and that we have the power to change our perception of reality itself. She talks about the importance of reinforcing the new neural pathways we’re creating by setting reminders, repeating affirmations and staying disciplined. Raven shares how to raise your vibrational frequency by going on an “energetic diet,” the differences between high and low vibrational frequencies, and how tuning into your emotions can clue you in on your vibrational frequency. Raven explains how censoring negativity, seeking positivity and cultivating a gratitude attitude can help keep your energetic channels clear. She tells us why it’s crucial to ignore your current reality in order to effectively manifest your desired one and why it requires “living in delusion.” Raven shares the habits she’s incorporated in her daily routine in order to reinforce the brainwashing process.RESOURCES AND REFERENCES:Download the “Mind of Manifesting” guided digital journal HEREDownload affirmation cards for manifesting HEREBuy “Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting” by Dr. Wayne Dyer HEREBuy “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle HEREStream “The Matrix” HEREStream “Divergent” HEREStream “The Secret: Dare to Dream” HEREConnect with Astrocandy:Website: astrocandypodcast.comInstagram: HEREJoin the Astrocandy Social Club HERESign up for our free weekly newsletter HEREAbout Astrocandy:Host Raven Brinson invites you on a mission of self-exploration and discovery through spiritual and mystical topics like astrology; holistic healing and wellness; manifestation; mindfulness and meditation; human design; chakra balancing and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astrocandy--4556333/support.

“Entities need a feeding source. Like attracts like in a vibrational reality, which is what we live in. Entities exist at a specific energetic frequency, so they look for a host that is carrying that specific energetic frequency.” Spiritual teacher and Akashic Records expert practitioner Emily Logan Lewis, aka Emily The Mystic, joins the show to discuss clearing malevolent entities, negative energies and closing portals.Emily Logan Lewis, aka Emily The Mystic, is an intuitive mentor, an Akashic Records expert practitioner and teacher, an intuition development coach, and a galactic channel.

“There are so many rules and masculine structures that are still rampant in the health and wellness and spiritual spaces. And I’m here to break all those rules.

“Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. Don’t let your doubt creep in. Trust in your talent, skills and ability and let them guide you.” Radio personality, podcast producer and singer Emily Sklar returns to the show to talk about the hidden cost of chasing your dream.After 11 years hosting shows on top radio stations like Detroit’s Channel 955 and Washington D.C.’s HOT 99.5, Emily stepped away from the industry full-time in the summer of 2022 to explore her other passions and interests (listen to the “Bet on Yourself with Emily Sklar” episode to hear what led to her decision). With a microphone and a dream, Emily moved from D.C. to L.A. at the beginning of 2023. Since the move, Emily has achieved some of her biggest dreams: appearing on the nationally syndicated “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest,” working at 102.7 KIIS-FM and with the iHeartRadio podcast team, and performing live in venues around the LA-area.In the second part of this two-part episode (listen to the first part if you missed it), we discuss the dichotomy of living in the present while looking forward to the future and the importance of spending your life how you want instead of how you think you should. We share our experiences relying on tenacity and true grit to get us through tough times and surviving the ego death that comes with starting over.

“I’ve always been someone who can’t let go of those [childhood] dreams. I want to make that inner child in me happy at all costs.

“I really try to make [tarot readings] as anchoring and grounding as possible. This is a healing experience; it’s not meant to make you fearful or anxious.

“Numerology can tell us a lot about our lives. Did you know your house address has a vibrational frequency? So does your life path number, your birthday and your personal year number.” On this week’s episode, we discuss numerology and what to expect in 2024 based on your personal year number.According to numerology, each number (1-9) has its own unique vibrational energy. Depending on how these numbers show up in our lives, they give us insights on our personality, life path and destiny.
