S1 E36 - The Bigger Picture - LightSong Tlaking Stick Podcast
In this illuminating episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader invite listeners to rise above the noise of daily life and glimpse the bigger picture—that vast web of connection, energy, and meaning that shapes our experiences beyond what the eye can see.
The episode opens with a grounding invocation that lifts us from the "densities of Earth" into the frequencies of light, love, and awareness. From there, Jan and Micah explore how every challenge, synchronicity, and belief carries purpose—threads in a much larger tapestry of the soul.
Through stories drawn from Jan's decades of shamanic healing and soul-retrieval work, she reveals how unseen energetic patterns—vows, attachments, and forgotten choices—can quietly influence health, relationships, and abundance. Micah reflects on his own lifelong awareness of signs in nature, the patterns revealed through writing and reflection, and how perspective transforms hardship into insight.
Together they weave shamanic wisdom, storytelling, and personal experience into a rich conversation about karma, energetic law, and human evolution—reminding us that what we perceive as coincidence is often divine design.
Highlights include:
Whether you're navigating personal change, exploring energy medicine, or simply seeking perspective, this episode is a reminder that there is always a bigger picture—and you are part of it.
