What happens when a neurosurgeon—trained to believe the brain creates consciousness—has a profound near-death experience while in a seven-day coma from severe bacterial meningitis?

In this episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie Edmonds is joined by Dr. Eben Alexander, neurosurgeon and bestselling author of Proof of Heaven, to explore how his worldview shifted after his coma and why he believes consciousness is not produced by the brain, but filtered through it. Dr. Alexander shares the early moments of his NDE, what he describes as “ultra-real” awareness, the concept of life reviews, and how love, compassion, and our choices may be more deeply woven into reality than we realize.

He also breaks down how meditation and binaural beats have become a core part of his daily practice—and shares resources for anyone who wants to explore these ideas more deeply. Dr. Alexander invites listeners to visit his website to access his free 33-day Journey (an email series that introduces key concepts from Living in a Mindful Universe), plus a community of thousands of participants who share reflections and experiences along the way. He also points listeners to Sacred Acoustics (including the Whole Mind Bundle, which he says is available with a free-access option), and Inner Sanctum Center, where he and Karen Newell host consciousness resources, free interviews, and practitioner-focused material.

If you’ve ever wondered about near-death experiences, meditation, consciousness beyond the brain, or how science and spirituality might fit together, this conversation will expand your perspective.

In this episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie sits down with Dr. Lisa Black, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Grove Integrative Psychology Institute and Sylvie Integrative Health, to unpack what integrative, whole-person healing really looks like.

Together, they explore how ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can support healing for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, and why ketamine isn’t “magic” on its own — the real transformation happens when insight is paired with the right therapy tools and behavioral change. Dr. Black explains how ketamine can quiet fear-based “survival brain” responses (like an overactive amygdala), boost neuroplasticity, and help clients access new perspectives faster — especially when combined with modalities like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), neurofeedback, and integrative care.

You’ll also hear:

• Why balance + boredom matter for mental health (and creativity)
• How brainwaves connect to regulation, focus, and burnout
• Why ketamine can help create new pathways — but your environment and habits determine if they last
• What Dr. Black’s approach looks like (including at-home low-dose ketamine paired with therapy)
• Why there’s no bypassing healing — and how community changes as you do

What if the future of mental health isn’t about managing symptoms… but actually healing at the root?

In this episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie Edmonds sits down with Dr. Ryan Phillips, a naturopathic physician and public health-minded healer whose work bridges integrative mental health, mind-body medicine, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Dr. Phillips shares his surprising journey—from growing up on a corn farm in rural Indiana to spending over a decade doing public health work in remote Himalayan villages—before returning to the U.S. and stepping into the front lines of today’s mental health crisis.

Together, Julie and Dr. Phillips explore:

• Why psychedelic-assisted therapy is not “just another medication”
• How psilocybin and ketamine may support healing through neuroplasticity + neurogenesis
• The real difference between a “good trip” and a therapeutic journey
• Why preparation, set/setting, and integration determine outcomes
• Microdosing vs macrodosing—and what people commonly get wrong
• Why this medicine should be approached with humility, respect, and proper guidance

What if just three recurring thoughts were silently driving chronic stress, inflammation, anxiety, and even cardiovascular disease?

In this powerful episode of Channeled: Tapping Into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie Edmonds sits down with Dr. David R. Vago, a leading contemplative neuroscientist and former Harvard-affiliated researcher, to explore how our thoughts shape the brain, body, and long-term health. Drawing from over two decades of research, Dr. Vago explains how beliefs like “life is unfair,” “I’m losing control,” and “I’m not good enough” become wired into the brain through the Default Mode Network, influencing anxiety, depression, identity, and stress-related disease.

Together, Julie and Dr. Vago dive into:
•How meditation, breathwork, and awareness change brain networks
•Why anxiety and depression become part of identity
•The neuroscience behind neuroplasticity and mental rewiring
•How mindfulness reduces stress, inflammation, and cognitive decline
•Why consistency matters more than quick fixes
•The role of connection, oxytocin, and community in healing
•How meditation may help preserve brain health as we age

This conversation bridges modern neuroscience with ancient contemplative wisdom, including insights from Dr. Vago’s work with the Mind & Life Institute and dialogues with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. If you’re curious about how to step out of autopilot, soften anxiety, and create a healthier relationship with your mind, this episode offers both science and hope.

What if connecting with your spirit guides could be simple, grounded, and actually useful in everyday life? In this Season 2 episode of Channeled: Tapping Into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie sits down with Lola Singer — intuitive artist, tarot reader, and creator of Spirit Guide Portraits — to talk about spiritual awakening without the fluff. Lola shares how meditation, breath, and even humming helped shift her nervous system out of fear and imbalance, how light language first opened for her, and why the real spiritual journey isn’t “love and light” all the time — it’s healing, self-awareness, and learning balance.

They explore how tarot can be a powerful tool for self-reflection (not fear-based fortune telling), why guides don’t intervene until you ask (the “bouncer and velvet rope” metaphor), and how to build a practical daily practice for receiving support — through intention, trust, repetition, and simple rituals that feel natural to you. Lola also explains how her Spirit Guide Portraits work, why guides show up in styles that match the person they’re supporting, and how you can use a portrait (screensaver, bedside, coffee maker) as a gentle energetic anchor in your day.

Dreams aren’t random: they’re your subconscious communicating in symbols, emotions, and patterns that can reveal what’s really driving your anxiety, trauma responses, habits, and identity struggles. In this episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie sits down with Jesse Lyon, licensed mental health counselor, clinical hypnotherapist, and globally known dream interpreter, to break down how dreamwork can become a powerful therapeutic tool for healing PTSD, complex trauma, nightmares, and subconscious blocks. Jesse explains why you always dream (even if you don’t remember), what it means when dreams shift from literal nightmares to metaphorical healing, how hypnosis and dream interpretation overlap, why the brain gets “stuck” after trauma, and how lucid dreaming fits into the science of consciousness. If you’ve been asking “what is my subconscious trying to tell me?” — this episode gives you a clear starting point and a practical way to begin using your dreams for real transformation.

What if your manifestation system was working perfectly… but you were accidentally programming it with the wrong instructions?

In this powerful episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie sits down with Heather Alice Shea, founder of Atmana Academy and creator of a seven-figure intuitive coaching company. Heather breaks down the science and soul of intuition, quantum energy, and manifestation in a way that finally makes it all click.

You’ll learn:
•Why you are manifesting 100% of the time—accurately
•How your future self, not your past, is actually shaping your reality
•The 8 “buttons” of manifestation: emotions, thoughts, beliefs, actions, intention, will, desire, imagination
•What your energetic body and electromagnetic field have to do with intuitive guidance
•How to start hearing your intuition when you’ve spent years ignoring or doubting it
•The real reason you feel blocked, stuck, or “out of alignment” (hint: it’s about disconnected parts of self)
•Heather’s process to find it, feel it, friend it, and free it so you can reintegrate lost parts of yourself
•Why you don’t manifest what you want—you manifest what you are
•How to step into the identity your soul already sees: author, leader, healer, entrepreneur, creator

If you’ve ever asked, “Why isn’t this working?” or “Why do I keep recreating the same patterns?”, this conversation will help you understand how to stop saying ‘Why me?’ and start embodying ‘Try me’—from a deeply intuitive, grounded place.

What if the fear you feel is actually an invitation to grow, not a stop sign? In this episode of Channeled: Tapping Into the Wisdom of Your Soul, host Julie Edmonds sits down with intuitive visionary artist and lightworker Dominique Hurley to talk about how to actually live a guided life by listening to your intuition and following the signs from the universe.

What if one of your biggest blocks isn’t food, money, or work… but an addiction to drama you inherited generations ago?

In this episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, host Julie Edmonds sits down with Eric Hoffer award–winning author and filmmaker Weam Namou to talk about ancestral trauma, feminine power, spiritual healing, and why drama can be just as real an addiction as anything else.

Weam shares her journey as a Chaldean (neo-Babylonian) woman who fled Iraq as a child, rediscovered her ancient Mesopotamian roots, and became the author of 20+ books and the award-winning feature film Pomegranate. She explains how connecting with Mesopotamian goddesses, working with teachers like Lynn V. Andrews, and doing deep shadow work helped her heal her addiction to drama, reclaim her feminine lineage, and step fully into her purpose as a writer and spiritual teacher.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What it means to have an addiction to drama and how to recognize it in your own life
• How ancestral patterns from the Middle East and beyond can live in your body and behavior
• The hidden history of Mesopotamian goddesses and the first recorded female writer, Enheduanna
• The four aspects of self: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual – and why all four must be in balance
• Weam’s powerful “wheel” exercise to process triggers, clear patterns, and shift energy for you and your family
• How to let go of what doesn’t serve you (social habits, inner addictions, old stories) so your spiritual practice actually works
• Why so many people feel called to write a book but never finish – and what’s really blocking them
• How investing in your spiritual growth and mentoring can unlock your creativity and your message

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles, drawn to chaos, or unable to start the book or project you know is inside you, this episode will give you both insight and practical spiritual tools to change the narrative for yourself and future generations.
