Hold the Light

Today's guest is today’s guest: Rev. Liliana Barzola, renowned spiritual intuitive and founder and CEO of Lotus Lantern Healing Arts.

She’s been a psychic intuitive since childhood and uses her gift to help people and organizations find clarity and directions – and has conducted over 20,000 in-person and phone intuitive sessions, and has taught over 600 students since 2002. 

As she says, “Oftentimes, ‘psychic sensitives’ are the most in need of healing and support.”

And that she likes to think of herself as the healer’s healer.

Among other things we talk about in this conversation, of course, we talk about energy: why it gets stuck in our bodies and how it manifests. I was curious: what does stuck energy look like? Liliana shares how to clear our energy, how to ground ourselves, and also how to tap into our intuition.

In this solo episode, I share my thoughts on the statement "Courage over comfort." It's been one of my guiding lights this past year, but I had an interesting encounter with someone who didn't like that phrase. I'm sharing my story here -- and I also ask, who are we to know what's best for others? How can we strengthen our internal guidance system so that we make choices in our life based on our inner knowing and intuition.

As Esther and Jerry Hicks (of Abraham-Hicks) says:

“Others cannot understand the vibrational content of your desires, and they cannot understand the vibrational content of who you are, so they are not in any way equipped to guide you. Even when they have the very best intentions and want your absolute well-being, they do not know. And even though many of them attempt to be unselfish, it is never possible for them to separate their desire for you from their own desire for themselves.”

If you’ve been listening to Hold the Light these past weeks, you know that I’ve been sharing pieces of my conversation with Carissa Schumacher.

In case you haven’t heard those episodes yet, a quick introduction:

Carissa, who is one of my spiritual teachers, is a Forensic Psychic Medium, an empathic intuitive, a Sacred Ceremony Facilitator and a full-body Channel for Yeshua, with whom she co-created the book The Freedom Transmissions.

You may have ideas when you hear the name Yeshua, and I did too. So, I wanted to hear from Carissa who Yeshua is to her. What is her definition?

What she describes was so helpful to me – and I know to others who heard the full conversation – because there is such clarity – and beauty – in her answer.

If you’ve been listening to my podcast, you know that I recently spoke with Carissa Schumacher. Carissa is a Forensic Psychic Medium, an empathic intuitive, a Sacred Ceremony Facilitator and a full-body Channel for Yeshua, or Christ Consciousness. She’s also one of my spiritual teachers.

When we spoke in our original conversation, Episode 23, one topic we discussed was how do we find peace and hope at this point in time? What can help us right now as we move into a new era and a new cycle on our planet? 

In case you haven’t heard that conversation yet, I want to share this excerpt with you because it feels important and necessary and expansive. As she says, "Be the moral, not the story."

For those on a spiritual growth path, or for those who are curious on how to cultivate this path, we often wonder how we can weave spirituality into our day-to-day lives. In a recent conversation on this podcast I asked my spiritual teacher Carissa Schumacher this question. I wanted to know: how can we hold the light and build it into a daily practice for ourselves? What structure is most conducive to opening our channel so that we can stay connected to our spirit and to the unseen? Especially when our lives can get consumed with a lot of doing, instead of simply being.

Carissa, who is an intuitive psychic, medium, channel for Yeshua (or Christ Consciousness), and co-creator of the book The Freedom Transmissions has several suggestions for what could be helpful. She says to take what serves you and leave the rest behind. 

Something to keep in mind as you listen, Carissa mentions the vertical and the horizontal in this conversation. If you haven’t already listened to my full conversation with her on Episode 23 where she discusses this in detail, here are some crib notes: the vertical is our being or our consciousness – it’s that part of us that is Spirit inhabiting form.

And the horizontal is our human lives, our egos, our identity constructs, and the societal norms that are placed within that. It’s basically our day-to-day lives, based in the realm of the doing.

To listen to my full conversation with Carissa Schumacher – which of course I highly recommend – visit the show notes or find Episode 23 here on Hold the Light podcast.

Carissa Schumacher is a world-renowned Forensic Psychic Medium, an empathic intuitive, a Sacred Ceremony Facilitator and a full-body Channel for Yeshua.

Carissa is a facilitator who is willing to walk the walk. She has an incredible gift as a channel – and it does seem otherworldly – she embraces her human self and shares that with us. There is a lot of laughter and joy in her presence.

So, while this episode is longer than usual, there is so much goodness shared here. I know that many of you listening are cautiously curious about The Freedom Transmissions and Carissa’s work. So keep an open mind and an open heart. This work is Universal… there’s something for everyone.

Here we talk about what it means to hold the light; Carissa offers context and definition to Yeshua, as well as the vertical and the horizontal; she shares how people can create a daily structure to help them connect, or stay connected to their spiritual selves; and we cover so much more. There is great wisdom in this conversation.
