This was a great podcast!! Highly recommend :) :) :) Copied from YT Description: What if consciousness isn’t just in your brain, but in every cell of the universe? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Marjorie Woollacott—renowned neuroscientist and leading researcher on consciousness and spiritual experience—shares her personal journey of spiritual awakening. She describes a transformative guided meditation where she felt an electric current flow from her head to her heart, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of love unlike anything she’d ever experienced. Dr. Woollacott dives into the science, the mysticism, and the practical wisdom behind spiritual transformation, including: - Why it’s vital to integrate spiritual experiences into daily life and how she finally merged her academic & spiritual paths after keeping them separate for so long - Neural features in the brain that limit access to extrasensory perception, and why some people are born with “their senses wide open” - Why you don’t need a scientific explanation to fully embrace the positive transformation of a spiritual awakening - Practical tips to quiet your mind & deepen meditation, even if you’ve struggled in the past - How connection matters more than ever in challenging global times - Who is more likely to have psi abilities, and how Near Death Experiences can unlock hidden potential - How some people can go beyond space & time if they believe it’s possible - Why placebo works & how to balance self-agency with surrendering to the universe - Her belief that consciousness exists differently in dreams & alternate states, and how collective consciousness can create real-world change - The incredible story of a doctor's out-of-body experience during hypnotic regression in an NDE, and what it teaches us about the mind and soul - Scientific argument for why telekinesis could be possible - Importance of finding purpose, noticing synchronicities, and staying “open” to life’s hidden signals - Power of prayer & Reiki, and why establishing energetic boundaries between healer & patient is essential

Driving home from the kickboxing studio… sunroof open, music on, just feeling genuinely grateful. Grateful for my career-by-day (corporate recruiting), my company (Ascending Dawn Doula), the flexibility to support my health journey… all of it. A car passes me and the plate says Ikigai. I LOVE that book. If you don’t know about it - then let’s open that convo! And then… not even a minute later… 888 These moments aren’t random!! They tend to show up right after a thought, a feeling, or a realization. I consider this a little wink of confirmation and a solid hello. Pay attention to what was happening right before the sign. That’s usually where the message lives. What signs or synchronicities have you noticed this week? And more importantly… what were you thinking or feeling right before they showed up?

What signs and synchronicities are you experiencing lately? All the norm? Anything unique? I’ll share mine in a bit, but let’s hear what you’re noticing! P.S. reminder of our Rise & Align Connect today at 3pm EST. Check the Calendar Tab for the link. Looking forward to seeing you! Love this song! https://youtu.be/epbOHloSpZM?si=GK8zyQcscM6tjDce

I meditated this morning - asking my team what I need to know today - any gifts of wisdom. Quiet and more quiet and more quiet came through. I said I “had to get going, final chance (jokingly obvs)” and I heard “no need for quick movement or big ideas today. Rest, recoup and flow with the day. Be” Now - this could be in my subconscious from a reading I had with a friend this weekend who was also reminded we are “human beings not human doings”. Or it may have been from a convo on a live from yesterday on a friend’s community here on this platform. But then.. I come across this reminder and have felt the quiet from yesterday to today. No coincidences right? So a reminder perhaps for others here? Be present. It is the present! Thinking of the future and what ifs can influence anxiety. Thinking of the past may influence sadness or depression. Be present today and find the joy. ❤️ Who’s in it with me? Let’s do this!

The family received a group text from my son who was headed to the gym. He drives a Tesla (seems everyone in my local area does - that’s when you know you’re back in the DC metro area after traveling! Hahaha) Anyhoo… we send group texts to each other with sunrises and random funnies. This one though… Alex dreamt about his best friend from high school who transitioned many moons ago. Gage helped my son out during his middle school years. Best buds. Beautiful heart. The two of them were strong together and it made some difficulties easier during that time. Later on we moved back to DC due to several reasons. Both boys became men. Gage had a son (who looks just like him!!!), but also fell prey to the drugs of that area. After getting clean a few times, he fell back into it one last time and transitioned. Flash forward to today - maybe 10 years after his passing, my son had dreams about him and gets a little hello from this cardinal on his tinted Tesla window. Left brain says yes - he sees the reflection and is like “what’s up?!” thinking it’s another cardinal. But right brain may notice the joy in the heart and the connection of this hello. I feel the joy simply by seeing this and remembering Gage. Have you had any recent animal hellos? How about recent hellos from a loved one that has passed away and comes to you in other ways to say hello? Our loved ones are never far away friends… ❤️
