The Universe Within Podcast

Hey everybody! Episode 100 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Mallku Aribalo. I first saw Mallku in an excellent documentary a number of years back called The Revelation of the Pyramids. I was really impressed with his knowledge and when I realized he lived in Cusco I knew he would be a great guest. We got into a lot of topics that really fascinate me such as ancient cultures, Andean cosmovision and the Incas, archaeo-astronomy, the power of the sun and it’s initiatory impact, plant medicines and wachuma, the modern world, relativism and optimism, and the modern path of power and the warrior. I really respect Mallku and the work he as done learning and teaching himself through direct experience of the ancient Andean sites, power places, and cosmovision, and I hope and trust you all will gain a lot from his wisdom. We just touched the surface of these topics and I look forward to having him back on to go deeper into them. And speaking of archaeo-astronomy, it was quite auspicious that he came on the 100th episode and we happened to shoot this on 11/11/22.

Hey everybody! Episode 99 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Bettina Fischer. Bettina was recommended to me by two friends and colleagues, Marta and Allen, who I also interviewed in episodes 16 and 13 respectively. They both have worked with Bettina and both spoke very highly of her. Bettina describes herself as an energy worker and as a channel. We got into some really fascinating discussions about her life, her work, her journey in spirituality, star beings, ancient civilizations, the changing world, and how she finds the three pillars of self-love, self-responsibility, and self-expression to be vital in these changing times. I really enjoyed speaking with Bettina and think she has a really unique voice and perspective.

Enjoy!“I was born 1966 in Germany and worked most of my life in the office of our family business. Since 2016 I have been self-employed as a spiritual consultant.Even as a child, I have always been sensitive to energy. Born an empath, I often had difficulty to discern between my own feelings and those of the people around me. In order to understand how the universe works, I began studying holy scriptures at the age of 12. At the time, there was not a lot of esoteric books available. My career in energy work began with Reiki in my early twenties.Reiki opened channels and connections to the spirit world. I stepped through this door into a greater universe and began my journey through many different spiritual approaches and healing modalities. Over time I have integrated techniques and information from many different sources, took what resonated with me and customized it to apply for the benefit of the Earth, nature and the people who come to me for help.For many years I have done and continue to do a lot of free-lancing with the Arcturian High Council and the Ashtar Galactic Command, mostly focused on helping our beloved planet with the Ascension Process. I am still primarily working for Earth, helping to stabilize the magnetic grid and releasing tension where needed. I have also been called upon to share my gifts with others so that as many people as possible can be supported in taking their next step on their own, individual path of Ascension.”To learn more about or contact Bettina, email her at: bettinaundnike@gmail.com or visit her YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@Bettina_FischerIf you enjoy the show, it’s a big help if you can share it via social media or word of mouth.

Hey everybody! Episode 98 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Marc Aixalà. Marc is a psychotherapist and has worked in collaboration with a very good organization called ICEERS (International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service). ICEERS worked in collaboration with a large ayahuasca center where I worked for many years (the Temple of the Way of Light) doing research on the therapeutic benefits of ayahuasca. We share a mutual friend, Irene Perez (who I interviewed in episode 36), who was doing the research on the ground for ICEERS. Marc recently published a book called Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness. It was great for me to sit down and talk with Marc as he is doing really good work in this field. As this emerging field of psychedelic therapy becomes more common, voices like Marc and resources such as his book are a vital part of how this work will be integrated and accepted into society. I hope and trust you all will get a lot out of this interview and the wisdom Marc shares.

Hey everybody! Episode 97 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Tomas Frymann.

Tomas is a clinical psychologist who recently completed his doctorate at Columbia University. He has worked as an ayahuasca facilitator, has worked with veterans working with iboga and bufo alvarius, and recently completed a Bwiti initiation in Gabon working with iboga. We spoke about all of these as well as his ideas of Interbeing, inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh. Tomas is a really good guy doing great work and has a varied experience of life which gives him a really interesting perspective. It was a pleasure for me to sit down with him and have him share, and I think you all will get a lot out of this interview.

Hey everybody! Episode 96 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza. Rosa is a Peruvian-born and USA/Peru-based chemical biologist, storyteller, conservationist, National Geographic Explorer, and artist. It was a pleasure for me to have Rosa on and talk about her ongoing work in the Peruvian Amazon mapping the microbial life of the boiling river near the jungle city of Pucalpa. I think this is really fascinating work as the microbes that can live in such extreme conditions potentially may give rise to a better understanding of life, lead to new medicines, and help to bring balance to the climate, all issues that Rosa spoke about.

Enjoy!“After a career that scaled the heights of corporate success as a CEO of global companies, I reached a turning point in my life – material success and trappings had not necessarily made me really happy or fulfilled. I had a big degree, a big job, and success that most people aspire for, but I was not happy. I decided to completely change my life and embarked on a journey of self-exploration and meditation that took me from working with Mother Teresa’s mission in India, to the jungles of Peru in search of finding meaning in life and fulfillment beyond the material demands of society today. Through seeking to transform my own life to live with a higher purpose, I made a life-changing commitment to helping others in their search for peace, harmony, and happiness. During the last 10 years and my transformative journeys across Asia & South America, I had rare opportunities to study and meditate with master healers and teachers of all faiths. I am trained in Shamanism, Reiki & Medical Reiki, Sufi Healing, Sound Healing, Meditation, Herbalism, and Breathwork. …In 2015, I opened The Sanctuary Healing Center on my property in the Catskills where I do in-depth work with my clients, host workshops, and cultivates the land for organic vegetable farming, medicinal plants, and honey bees.” To contact or learn more about Angell and The Sanctuary, and to read his full bio, visit his website at: https://www.thesanctuaryheal.com/If you enjoy the show, it would be a big help if you could share it with your own audiences via social media or word of mouth.

Hey everybody! Episode 92 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Linda Christine Adams. Linda was recommended to me by a mutual friend of ours, Kylea Taylor, who I interviewed in episode 59.

She channels high frequencies of Light from the Cosmos and Healing Love from the Great Mother through her voice and through her remote work. She is a passionate guide in healing our separation from Earth and in the reweaving of earth based culture. When I was 19 I received a very clear message that my life path was to be of service.At 20 she had an accident that left me unable to walk. This was the first initiation on her path as a healer, and how she met her first teacher and regained the ability to walk.Since that time healers, teachers and shamans from many places and many traditions have mentored and initiated her and the process continues to this day.Her studies have called her to the far corners of Earth, from Vietnam to the High Andes, the Amazon Rainforest and beyond.A near death experience in 2017 opened her capacity to channel the Light frequencies of the Cosmos and shortly after this she received a visitation by the Great Mother Herself. All of this wisdom and experience is integrated into all that Linda offers.Through her interactive remote work Linda specializes in integration of non-ordinary experiences, working with core wounds, healing through ancestral lineages, and helping to clear blockages to awakening and the expression of our true gifts.”To learn more or to connect with Linda, visit her website at: https://www.intotheheartoftheworld.earthIf you enjoy the show, it’s a big help if you can share it via social media or word of mouth.
