In this soul-soothing episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians Present, Will invites us on a serene journey into the heart of mindfulness through a touching story called “The Mindful Fisherman,” drawn from the transformative book The Monk and the Butterfly by Kai T. Murano.

Set in a quiet coastal village, the tale follows Esau, an old fisherman who lives with deep intention and quiet reverence for life. Unlike the other villagers rushing to sea, Esau moves slowly—not because of age, but from mindful awareness. When a young man from the city, worn down by the noise and pressure of modern life, encounters Esau, the two embark on a day of fishing that becomes far more than a simple boat ride. 

✨ Along the way, Esau imparts profound wisdom:

• “The sea is like our minds—sometimes calm, sometimes stormy. But always, it is the sea.”
• “Fishing is not just about the fish—it’s about being present with every sense.”

Through the ebb and flow of the ocean, the young man rediscovers something he thought he had lost—his peace. And in doing so, he learns that true tranquility isn’t found in the escape from life, but in the presence within it.

Why You Should Listen
This episode is more than a story—it’s a meditation in motion. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the speed of life, this beautifully told parable will remind you of the power in slowing down. It offers a timeless lesson: peace is always available, if only we stop to notice it.
 
Whether you’re listening during your morning commute, a quiet walk, or while sipping your evening tea, “The Mindful Fisherman” will anchor you in the present moment.

If intuition were a college course, would you pass with flying colors—or accidentally sign up thinking it was Intro to Italian Cooking?
 
In this eye-opening and hilariously insightful episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with the “Dean of Spiritual Awesomeness” herself—Beau Maxwell—a professional medium, spiritual teacher, and creator of the award-winning Sage Method. Once a self-proclaimed skeptic with a degree in math and a deeply logical mind, Beau’s world was turned upside down by a jaw-dropping spiritual experience that cracked her wide open to the intuitive realm.
 
Now, she’s on a mission to teach others how to connect to their intuition in grounded, practical ways—no crystal ball required. From understanding the difference between intuition and imagination, to navigating the real reason men may have a harder time accessing intuitive gifts (hint: it’s not their fault), Beau delivers both wisdom and wit in equal measure.
 
You’ll also learn:

• Why your “third eye” might be more open than you think.
• The real reason you see things out of the corner of your eye.
• What to do if Spirit shows up… while you’re in the bathroom. (Yes, it happens.)
• How to tell the difference between imagination and a true intuitive hit.
• The wild story of how her grandmother’s spirit literally appeared to her—and changed everything.

Plus, discover Beau’s transformational 7-week Sage Method course (and its lighter, free version) designed to declutter your energetic channel and reignite your spiritual connection.
 
Whether you’re a full-on metaphysical maven or a curious skeptic, this episode just might be the nudge you’ve been waiting for to trust your inner voice—and finally learn how to hear it.

What if a tiny patch could unlock pain relief, vision improvement, younger-looking skin, and even help your pet bounce back from old age? In this Skeptic Metaphysicians episode recorded live at Spirit Fest USA in Dulles, we sit down with Kimberly Hartke, a distributor of Lifewave’s revolutionary stem cell activation patches. She shares firsthand stories of transformation—improved eyesight, diminished scars, and renewed energy—that sound almost too good to be true.
 
Kimberly walks us through the science behind the X39 patch: a non-invasive, light-reflecting wearable designed to stimulate the body’s own stem cell production—without injections or high medical bills. We dig deep into the technology, testimonials, potential applications (including for pets!), and what skeptics should know before trying it for themselves.
 
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, signs of aging, or even Hashimoto’s thyroid issues, this conversation might just plant a seed of curiosity… or send you racing to try it yourself.


Topics Covered:

• What stem cell activation patches actually are—and how they differ from medical stem cell injections
• How the X39 patch works through light and body heat to reactivate dormant stem cells
• Real-life results: improved vision, reduced scarring, boosted energy, and balanced hormones
• Why Kimberly believes it’s a lifestyle choice, especially as we age
• How the patches interact with medications or medical conditions
• The surprising benefits seen in pets using used patches (!)

What if the dead could talk—and answer back in real time?
No static-filled guesswork. No ghost-hunting gimmicks. Just clear, intelligent, two-way conversations with voices from beyond the veil.
 
In this mind-expanding episode, Will & Karen welcome Tony Rathman, founder of Entity Voices Paranormal Investigations and creator of Staticom, a revolutionary spirit communication device that’s turning white noise into a literal hotline to the afterlife. Using filtered broadband noise and real-time processing, Tony captures voices with crystal clarity, bringing through answers to questions he hasn’t even finished asking.
 
Once a devout skeptic, Tony shares his jaw-dropping journey from scientific doubt to direct dialogue with disembodied consciousness. From haunted hospitals to home-based spirit sessions, from historic ghost voices to conversations that seem to know your thoughts, this episode pushes the boundaries of what’s possible when it comes to life after death.
 
Oh—and yes, according to the spirits, they have jobs. (Karen is not okay with this.)

What if the cure to your burnout isn’t a beach in the Caribbean—but a breath?
 
In this raw and refreshingly real solo episode, host Will Rodriguez opens up about hitting rock bottom—mentally, emotionally, and energetically—and the unexpected thing that helped crack the pressure: his own outbreath.
 
No, not the calm, serene breath you take at a yoga retreat. We’re talking full-on, primal, “scare-the-neighbors” screaming into the void. And it turns out… it helped. A lot.
 
🎧 In this episode, Will shares:

• Why burnout had him dragging himself out of bed like a zombie in flip-flops
• How a spontaneous scream became his spiritual pressure valve
• The science and the soul behind why exhaling is so healing
• The link between breath and emotion in ancient cultures—and your daily life
• A gentle guided moment to reconnect with your breath (without needing a passport or a guru)

🧘‍♂️ Why You Should Listen:
If you’ve been running on fumes and craving relief, this episode offers a powerful, practical, and downright cathartic tool that’s completely free and always with you: your breath. You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you’ll definitely want to try this surprisingly effective technique—though maybe not in your open-plan office.
 
💬 Listener Challenge:
Have you ever screamed into the abyss and felt better afterward? We want to know! Leave a comment, send a voicemail at skepticmetaphysician.com, and let Will know if this primal outbreath helped you, too. Who knows? You might be featured in a future community episode!

What does it really mean to be?

This week on The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we plunge headfirst into the cosmic rabbit hole with Dr. Val Rytova, a brilliant behavioral neuroscientist who fuses science and spirituality like it’s nobody’s business.
 
She’s got degrees in neuroscience, immunology, and anthropology, but don’t let the academic chops fool you—Dr. Val is here to talk about the metaphysical study of existence itself: Ontology.

From rewiring the brain and changing our DNA expression to navigating fear, awakening consciousness, and dancing with the mysteries of Being (with a capital B), this episode is the ultimate intersection of science, soul, and the slippery nature of time.

💥You’ll discover:

• What ontology really is—and why it matters for your spiritual path
• How neuroplasticity can reprogram fear, anxiety, and even catalyze spiritual awakenings
• Whether you can access past lives, parallel timelines, and higher dimensions (yes, really)
• How to make personal transformation stick using brain science
• Why conversations (yes, even awkward ones) might be the secret sauce of enlightenment

If you’ve ever stared at the stars while questioning your lactose intolerance—or just want to know who the heck you are and why you’re here—this episode is for you.
 
🧠🎧 Listen now and redefine what it means to BE.
