The Derek Loudermilk Show

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the channel and medium, Jackie Van Campen. As a medium, Jackie can talk with those who have transitioned over, or who have passed on. As a channel, she gets information from beings from higher dimensions.



Jackie also happens to be my cousin-in-law. We were sitting next to each other at a family reunion recently and I got really excited about her work as a channel and wanted to bring that experience to you!



In this episode, we dig into the world of channeling. To those who are unfamiliar, the practice of channeling is when a person’s voice/mind/body is allowed to be a vehicle for another conscious being - in Jackie’s case, Beings of Light, for the purpose of communication.



Here, Jackie takes us through an actual channeling and you to experience it with her. We get to listen to the message about stepping up, finding our purpose and doing our part, and the value of empathy towards others.



If
you haven’t experienced channeling, then this is going to open your eyes to a
new world of possibility.



This
is a very fascinating episode. In the first half, Jackie will walk us through
what it was like for her to start experiencing channeling and how she accepted
that these other beings are able to interact with and speak through her. In the
second half, we are going to hear Jackie go into her channeling state.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How
Jackie describes channeling.* How
Jackie began channeling and what her influences were that led to her channeling.* The
ways to learn channeling and how many people out there are also channeling.* What
happens when Jackie channels.* What
it is like to be the person who is channeling.* A
message and conversation with the Beings of Light that Jackie channels.



Quotes:



* “I
think we all have this ability, it’s just a matter of, are we open to allow our
self to channel.” – Jackie Van Campen



* “Become curious about your role. What are you being asked to do at this time? Sit with this question every day.” - The Beings of Light* “This is an opportune time to step up and to stand in your power.” - The Beings of Light* “Let go of your small thinking. Let go of the fear that you are not enough to make a difference.” - The Beings of Light* “The ultimate truth is that human beings are being called to dispel the cloak they’ve been wearing, the cloak that keeps them hidden from their own potentiality.” - The Beings of Light* “It is important to be aware of what is to come so that you can position yourself in ways to help your fellow human beings.” - The Beings of Light

The Offbeat Life

Sometime I can't believe Billionaires will go on a podcast with a shirtless guy on the cover...



We
are celebrating Episode 300!



When I first started this podcast, I said I was going to make 300 episodes. Now, it has been about six years, and I can hardly believe that it's finally here!



What I have Learned From 300 Episodes



My
identity and the identity of this podcast have been intertwined when I first
came up with the name, The Art of Adventure. It started with the blog. I
talked about it with people and they started associating me as "Mr.
Adventure". That forced me to become more adventurous.



This
show has evolved and progressed. Back when I started, I was trying to learn how
to travel the world, live abroad, and earn a living- basically live a life
of adventure. The podcast started with me, interviewing my friends, and
eventually developed a cohesive model and created a well-defined show with
guests who talk about adventure, metaphysics, peak performance, and business.



In
the beginning, I did not really know how to interview, how to produce a
podcast, and how to find the right guest. I had to learn as I went. If
you track the changes in the world and the changes in my life, and you overlay
that on the podcast, there are all these different phases of life that I
experienced while we had this continuity of a podcast through 300 episodes. You
might be able to see where I'm coming from as the host, in what questions I ask,
and the kind of guests I'm bringing on the show.



What
is cool is that I don't really know what I'd get from these podcasts. I have
taken so many ideas from guests. I am now a business coach, because of the
influence I had from a guest. From a cycling coach, to a podcast coach, I
finally decided on expanding to be a business coach. A guest also suggested
that I turn the ideas I get from the podcast and turn them into a book, which,
eventually became the Superconductors. Right now, I am working on a book with
adventure stories, taking some of the greatest and wildest adventure stories
from the podcast. I have grown my Instagram account from ideas I got from
guests, too. I also learned to ask more and more audacious things and make
"unreasonable requests" in asking for big things.



These
guests have brought so many ideas that I have incorporated in my life, travels,
business, family, and relationships. It has been such an amazing access point,
as the host. I hope it has been as well, for you, because when you apply these
ideas, such big and dramatic things happen for you and your life. The really
important part is that you don't have to get it perfect, but you do need
to go and try it. You can learn these concepts, but until you go and
try using them, you don't really know the knowledge, or understand how
everything works.



Right
until you go through the experience, you can't ever know what it's like until
you do it.



Now
I can say, I'm a podcaster and I’m not planning on stopping. This is one of the
best parts of my business and of my life. I am motivated to continue improving
the show and getting these guests on. I want to take this a step further and
look at what kind of collaborations and win-win scenarios I can create with my
guests. Most of my guests have some mission trying to make the world a better
place in their own unique way. If we approach with the idea of how can we
co-create together and look at creating win-win scenarios, then I think that is

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is a spiritual business coach, and my good friend, Beth Weinstein. Beth is of the leaders in the world of plant medicine and psychedelics - and how we can use these to anhance our lives and business. She is the founder of the groundbreaking conference, “Psychedelics, Sacred Medicines, and Purpose”, along with the world experts on the field.



In
this episode, Beth talks about the huge exploding potential and rebirth of
psychedelics. She shares how she was able to start talking more publicly about
her trips and experiences and get to freely share about the medicine path. She
also dives into how she helps people utilize her spiritual knowledge and
experiences for their business growth.



Beth
will also take us through her personal journey – how she first became an
entrepreneur. She was in the design world, and her first business had nothing
to do with coaching at all! Beth is a great storyteller and you are going to
love her perspective on how her life and career progressed and evolved as she
opened up and followed her spiritual path.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How Beth started as an entrepreneur.* How Beth knew that it was time to publicly speak about psychedelics and plant-based medicine in her business.* How Beth helped other find their true purpose and thrive in their business.* Beth’s experiences before she accidentally fell into coaching.* Beth’s memorable travel experience on dieta in the jungles of South America

* "If you don't change, the universe will do it for you"* "The way it works is that the medicine gives you what you need"* "There is no more reason to hide behind a mask"

Today’s
guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the astrologer, teacher, and
sojourner, Dara Dubinet. Here, Dara talks about astrogeography or
astrocartography – the astrology of a place on the planet. Dara also shares
about the north node and how you can find your purpose in life by learning
about it.



Dara
explains that each person has their own astrology. Wherever the planets are,
they affect us at the moment of our birth. These astrological bodies also
affect us wherever we are. Intuitively, there are times that you don’t want to
go to a certain place. With the study of your own astrogeography, you will
understand why you have that feeling. Conversely, you will also understand why
you always dream of going somewhere. Now you know that a certain place holds a specific
energy for you.



In
this episode, Dara reads my astrogeography. Through this, she will enlighten us
that each person has his or her own astrology and when combined with your exact
location on the planet, you are going to experience a different set of
vibrations. It is actually a map or record of what you would be experiencing as
you pass through different fields on the planet.



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* How
astrology works and the science of astrology* An
introduction on astrogeography and how it works* How
we are affected by astrology and our specific location* What
the north node is* The
application of astrogeography on the things that you want to achieve

Today’s Interview on the Art of Adventure podcast is part of our series on cutting edge modalities, health metaphysics, and peak performance. Our guest is the founder of the Neurotherapy Center of St. Louis, Dr. Ashley Wiegand. According to Dr. Wiegand, her brain-based approach on counselling addresses the underlying biological patterns related to the individual’s concerns, while also looking at habits, perception, and interpersonal environment.



Dr.
Wiegand uses the specialized treatments of biofeedback and neurofeedback to
help shift away from stuck patterns towards better functioning, growth, and
change. Neurofeedback can be used for performance enhancement in healthy individuals,
but it can also be used for dealing with dysfunctions like PTSD, anxiety, and EDD.
It basically helps your brain spend more time in a desired state.



In
this episode, you’ll hear about my experience with Dr. Wiegand because I
recently went to have a visit with her. We picked a protocol that I could use
to enhance my performance. Right now, we are in a point where we are starting
to understand the brain more and we are developing this technology in
monitoring the brainwave activity and being able to pinpoint what’s going on in
there.



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* What neurofeedback and biofeedback are* The exact protocol we used when I was in Doctor Wiegand’s laboratory.* What my experience was with neurofeedback and the results* How you can apply and take advantage of neurofeedback and biofeedback * How to achieve peak potential, push your limits, and optimize your brain, applying this modality



Quotes:



*  "Neurofeedback will help you shift into a state as desired" - Dr. Ashley Wiegand* "Fire flickers in a delta frequency - that is why it is so calming" - Dr. Ashley Wiegand

The Morning After The Snowstorm



This is the story of what I learned from
getting caught in a snowstorm when things could have gone seriously wrong.



The sun has just set, it’s a snowstorm. We’re
at 10,000 feet, it’s getting dark, the snow is sticking to our skis. We don’t
have a map and we were still several miles from the fire tower that we are supposed
to be staying for the night. We are in the middle of the Montana wilderness and
we have just dug ourselves out of another hole because we have fallen off the
trail into neck-deep snow.



This was about ten years ago in Montana and
the reason we were caught in this situation in the first place was because of a
comedy of errors. They say accidents don’t happen because of one mistake, but
it is usually a series of little mistakes that lead to a big catastrophe. We
were very close to a big catastrophe!



We had to drive a couple of hours into the
mountains. We rented skis and found that they had given us two right boots. It
was far too late to head back to town to return the boots and come back to the
trail head and head to the fire tower.



We were committed to making it to the fire
tower so we decided to go ahead with the mismatched boots. We took the 15-mile
route to the mountains. Everything started off great.



When you are in shape and a seasoned outdoor
person, sometimes you overestimate your abilities and you don’t come prepared.
I was not prepared! We didn’t have a map and we had the wrong equipment. I far
overestimated our ability to get to the top. I estimated, three to four hours,
with breaks, to get up there. But, after six hours, we were still halfway! We
also knew that the fire road was going to end and we were going to have to do
the last three miles across open terrain to get to this fire tower.



This perfect storm of bad things started
happening. One, the snow was coming down. It was causing our skis to become
sticky with snow. All of a sudden, the skis became heavy. So, we had to take them
off and walked on the snow but it was not a good solution. We slowed down to
one mile an hour. The sun was setting and we couldn’t see the trail anymore. Luckily,
snowmobilers had gone and packed down the surface of the snow a week or a day
prior. So if we stayed within this narrow three-foot wide path, we wouldn’t
collapse down into the snow. And if we took one step off, we’d fall down into
this deep powder, which was exhausting. It was very treacherous. It was very dark,
and things were getting really dicey.



Here’s what was going through my head that
time: whenever I would think about getting stuck out there, we could build a
snow cave or we could just wait it out until morning. Or what happens if one of
us gets injured, or if we would run out of food and water? I was starting to
get worried. So, I forced myself to not worry. It helped showcase my thought
pattern in a really treacherous situation.



I often refer back to this thought patterns when
I am testing myself and taking risks, whether in business, or socially. I’m
thinking back on that really tough physical challenging situation. I knew that
I was fit and well-trained as an athlete, so I was confident that my body could
keep going if only I could manage my energy well and I kept a positive
attitude. So I was consciously directing my thoughts to keep myself in the
present moment and that really was just keeping one foot after the other trying
to stay on this little trail.
