Justin L. Shaw shares his transformative journey of awakening, healing, and understanding happiness, authenticity, and spiritual growth. Discover insights on overcoming trauma, the power of self-awareness, and living authentically.

 My author bio says, “I’m a little bit Deepak and a little bit Tupac.” I am a former stand-up comedian with an inspiring story of overcoming trauma, emotional/mental issues, and heavy drug addictionthat got me into plenty of trouble and had me stuck in the USA’s “sickcare” system for decades. My backstory is woven with humor, pop culture metaphors, and insight to create a unique healing system inspired by the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. However, unlike AA, the 13 rungs of Sourcery do not discriminate between the symptoms of soul sickness. A Sourcerer recognizes that the overuse of our phones and a hyperfocus on the material world can be just as destructive to the soul as drugs and alcohol. Each specific symptom, such as addictions to gambling, food, shopping, sex, drugs, etc., as well as most forms of what is referred to as “chronic illness,” all branch out from the same root cause: spiritual bankruptcy.

Ali Christos, a quantum hypnotist (Deloris Cannon methods), explores consciousness, the role of hypnosis and meditation, and the interconnectedness of all beings. Discover insights into past lives, higher self, and the evolution of human awareness.

Ali is a Quantum Hypnosis practitioner, author, speaker, meditation teacher, and founder of the Conscious Practitioner Network. After more than 15 years in business and real estate, major life transitions, and years of Vipassana meditation, he began exploring consciousness, identity, and the subconscious mind more deeply. Today, Ali guides people through QHHT and Beyond Quantum Healing experiences in which clients may explore subconscious patterns, symbolic experiences, past-life narratives, and what many describe as the Higher Self. His approach is grounded in curiosity rather than dogma: whether an experience is understood spiritually, psychologically, or symbolically, the question is how the insight can help someone understand themselves and live differently.
