In Episode 2 of the Maker/Mistaker Podcast, I have an eye opening discussion with Charis Melina Brown. I came across her YouTube channel after searching for information on Starseeds.

Who is Charis? She's an example of someone who is living in alignment with her true soul expression. She's vibrant and in love with life. Charis currently lives in Sedona, AZ and has written a few books and teaches classes and workshops from living your purpose to awakening your DNA. She always seems to inspire me and help me realize that my struggles don't have to be such a big deal. Her attitude is always so positive and upbeat.

She calls herself a modern day practitioner of Magic. She's one of the smartest, most knowledgeable people I know on the subject of spirituality, non-physical energies, aliens and ETs, the nature of reality, dreams, etc. Her excitement for these topics is contagious. You can tell she LIVES this stuff.

From her website, her bio reads:

Throughout history, there have been medicine men and medicine women, shaman, priests, and alchemists who have always played a unique part in society. In today's world, if a child feels the call to grow up and become a teacher, a doctor, a chef, or a businessman, there are role models to provide a path towards that goal. But kids who are innate priestesses or wizards have no real adults doing this to observe.

This is what I do.

I am a "magician" living here in the modern world. I am educated with two master's degrees and chose to leave school and write my own books three months shy of graduating with a Ph.D. I make a good living, I drive my car, check my email, make dinner, and I also rock out amazing rituals under the Full Moon, talk to ghosts, aliens, and elemental nature spirits, and remember my past lives.

You can absolutely do all of it and be a perfectly sane, balanced, awesome person who rocks existence on multiple levels.

My job is to show those who want to learn how.
