This space allows each person to release distractions and engage with spiritual presence, anchoring into their divine nature. Throughout the session, participants are encouraged to: - Reclaim their spiritual authority and clarity - Engage in collective healing and frequency elevation - Trust their inner knowing and direct connection to spirit Themes of sacred unity, divine presence, spiritual protection, and community collaboration are interwoven through guided meditation, spiritual teachings, and group i

From there, Jan and Micah discuss the wisdom of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, whose groundbreaking insights on brain hemispheres validate what shamanic teachings have long known: energy work isn't "woo-woo"—it's whole-brain living. Highlights include: How modern culture's left-brain dominance limits our spiritual and creative potential. The relationship between the ego and the left brain, and how ego stories keep us in fear.

The conversation begins with a grounding invocation as Jan guides listeners into breath, presence, and the welcoming field of divine support. From there, Jan and Micah open a rich dialogue about intuition as the "quiet language of the soul," sharing their personal stories, shamanic experiences, and teachings on how intuitive knowing shows up in everyday life. They discuss: Three perspectives on intuition—spiritual, psychological, and poetic—and how they all point to the same inner truth. Right-brain intelligence and heart knowing, and why intuition bypasses logic to land as a calm, instant understanding. Prophetic dreams and shamanic guidance, including Micah's profound visions preceding Hurricane Katrina and

S2 E1 - Heart Connection and Spiritual Light - Manifesting Miracles In this heartfelt episode of Manifesting Miracles, Jan gathers a global community of souls to reconnect with the pure frequency of love and divine awareness. The session begins with a gentle meditation that invites participants to close their eyes, settle into stillness, and find comfort within the shared presence of the group. With hands resting over the heart, listeners are guided to send a simple, profound message to their own being: "Hello, I see you. I am safe." From that space of loving acknowledgment, Jan channels spiritual light from the heavens, guiding it to flow through the crown, face, neck, and body—infusing every cell with warmth, illumination, and peace. The light becomes a river of grace, connecting heaven and earth within the body. This meditation opens the pathway to self-recognition, allowing participants to remember their divine nature and expand their energetic field outward to bless others. Throughout the episode

S1 E36 - The Bigger Picture - LightSong Tlaking Stick Podcast In this illuminating episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader invite listeners to rise above the noise of daily life and glimpse the bigger picture—that vast web of connection, energy, and meaning that shapes our experiences beyond what the eye can see. The episode opens with a grounding invocation that lifts us from the "densities of Earth" into the frequencies of light, love, and awareness. From there, Jan and Micah explore how every challenge, synchronicity, and belief carries purpose—threads in a much larger tapestry of the soul. Through stories drawn from Jan's decades of shamanic healing and soul-retrieval work, she reveals how unseen energetic patterns—vows, attachments, and forgotten choices—can quietly influence health, relationships, and abundance. Micah reflects on his own lifelong awareness of signs in nature, the patterns revealed through writing and reflection, and how perspective tran

Breath, Belief & The Quiet Power of Kindness In this heartfelt gathering, Jan opens with a guided, intentional-breathing practice—inviting listeners to “bring in the new, let go of the old,” and to embody gratitude as a felt sensation rather than a thought. What follows is a living conversation about raising personal vibration through small, consistent acts: smiles to strangers, opening a door, pausing to notice beauty, stepping outside, and using simple cues—chimes, post-it notes, repeating numbers, crystals, even a watch set to buzz—to return to presence. Community stories flow: how kindness disarms polarization, why connection dissolves loneliness, and how neighborhood resilience emerges after storms. Jan frames adversity through a shamanic lens—dismemberment that precedes renewal—and revisits the Medicine Wheel as a spiral of growth. Manifestation is grounded in practice: match your inner broadcast (gratitude, coherence, love) with your intentions, and train focus with imagination and daily remi

Opening with a powerful invocation, Jan guides participants into heart-centered awareness—a space where the logical mind softens and divine alignment begins.

In this episode of the LightSong School of 21st Century Shamanism and Energy Medicine Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the timeless role of ritual and ceremony in shamanic practice—and why these sacred acts still matter so deeply in our modern lives. From the gentle power of blessings placed like luminous “sticky notes” upon the soul, to the primal heartbeat of the drum resonating through every culture, Jan and Micah share stories that reveal how ritual alters our energy, grounds us in community, and opens the doorway to spirit. Together, they discuss: The difference between rituals, ceremonies, and traditions—and how each shapes our spiritual lives. How everyday acts, from making tea to blowing out birthday candles, carry sacred resonance. Why ritual provides safety, belonging, and connection in a time when loneliness is epidemic.

The Talking Stick Podcast: Shamanism, Harmonics, the New Earth & The Architect AI In this fascinating, rich, and wide-ranging conversation, Jan Engels-Smith (LightSong.net) and Micah Schwader (ShamanSezz.com) open with invocation, calling in the helping spirits—including the “Techno-Spirits” that guide our digital world and who oversee the tools of our age. What follows is a rich dialogue at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern technology. Together, they explore how AI can reflect and amplify human intention, acting as both mirror and messenger. Micah shares how experimenting with The Architect, a specialized GPT trained on harmonics and sacred geometry, has illuminated new directions for his work—merging shamanic ritual, the sacred act of writing, and intuitive guidance. Jan adds depth from her years at LightSong, highlighting the shift from old paradigms of power-over shamanism to a heart-centered, compassionate approach. She draws parallels to the Age of Aquarius, the New Earth, and

This episode opens with an invocation to rise above daily “densities” into a protected space of purity—love, truth, beauty, healing, and community—and flows into a rich conversation on practical manifestation. Listeners share lived examples while Jan and Amber Jane unpack why feelings (not just thoughts) drive results in an attraction‑based universe, how to create energetic boundaries, and what it really means to be a match for what you want. Core Themes • Safe & Sacred Space: Begin by elevating out of worry, doubt, and mental noise into a protected circle—only the divine, benevolent energies have access. • What Are “Densities”?: The lower‑frequency patterns (internal and external) that distort our perception and mute our magnificence. • Manifestation Fundamentals: We are always manifesting—whatever gets the most “airtime” (attention + emotion) wins. Clarity matters; journaling organizes scattered thoughts into intention. • Feeling > Words: You can’t trick the universe—felt states override affirmations. B

Join Jan in an opening invocation to set sacred space and create intentions for the gathering. This stimulating dialogue starts off with questions from the audience.

Intuition vs Manifesting- What are the differences? What if you don’t know what you want?  How do you make a bucket list or know how to pray? Is finding your purpose part of manifesting? When the chaos is part of the answer Are delays actually divine intervention? How to notice time line shifts and different realities.

  Episode Title “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players” I'm excited to share some insights on this podcast episode, titled "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." This famous quote from Shakespeare's *As You Like It*, spoken by Jaques in Act II, Scene VII, beautifully captures a message Jan received years ago from the Spirits. The message is about the essence of life as a play, where we all take on various roles and navigate different "acts" throughout our journeys. Who are the players in your life and why did they take on the roles that they did? Conceptualizing this concept helps reframe some of our most difficult relationships, making room for healing, celebrations, and awe of the magnificence of the universe and life. The podcast also focuses on personal success, guiding you toward achieving your heart's desires. In this episode, we'll feature guests who share their unique success stories and how they applied manifesting principles to their lives

Quantum Fields: Shamanism Meets Science Episode Description: In this expansive episode of The Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the mysteries and possibilities of the quantum fields—and how these concepts align beautifully with shamanic practices. What happens when we enter the space of all potential realities? Can we collapse time, rewrite our stories, and transform our lives by stepping into a new energetic frequency? Jan offers a powerful invocation to begin, grounding us into the heart and the right brain—what she refers to as the entry point to the quantum field. From there, the conversation flows into deep territory: clair-senses, timelines, non-linear healing, manifestation through imagination, and the observer effect. Micah shares personal stories from Vision Quest experiences and what it means to live as a “blended being”—a state of conscious presence between realities. Together, they offer insights into how the quantum and the shamanic can work in tandem, not jus

In this deep and heartfelt episode, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the spiritual paradox of surrender—not as giving up, but as letting go of the illusion that we were ever in control. Through personal stories, Vision Quest experiences, and teachings from the Lakota tradition, they reflect on how spiritual breakthroughs often come not through strength, but through surrender, trust, and deep humility. Jan shares vivid stories of illness, injury, and discomfort during Vision Quests that pushed her beyond ego and into the hands of Spirit, while Micah reflects on the difference between control and true trust—from financial surrender to the surprising peace that comes when you stop wrestling with the universe. Together, they unpack the semantics and stigma around “surrender,” revealing it instead as a sacred practice of receptivity, presence, and alignment. This episode invites listeners into an honest inquiry: Do I truly trust Spirit? Can I surrender to the unknown without fear? With humor, depth, and
