Episode 29: Health & Consciousness - Smoke from Denver

Guest Bio

This is a solo episode hosted by Smoke, the creator of The Smoke Trail. As a former CEO and entrepreneur turned spiritual guide, Smoke draws from his personal awakening journey, blending leadership insights with consciousness practices to help others navigate transformation.

Setting

Filmed against the backdrop of Denver's vibrant fall colors, this episode captures a reflective moment amid travel. The crisp autumn air symbolizes change and renewal, aligning with themes of health crises as catalysts for awakening. Smoke speaks from a place of vulnerability, emphasizing proactive self-care before tragedy strikes.

Summary

In this heartfelt solo episode, Smoke explores the profound link between health and consciousness, prompted by a close family member's recent stroke and brain bleed. He reflects on how ignoring bodily signals—stemming from past habits like "toughing it out"—leads to energetic blockages and disease. Drawing from personal experiences, including overcoming ailments like gout, high blood pressure, and a severe hemorrhoid through awareness and surrender, Smoke critiques Western medicine's symptom-focused approach. He advocates for raising consciousness to dissolve fractures from trauma, using tools like meditation, journaling, and plant medicines. Referencing David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness, he explains how elevating beyond low-energy states (e.g., fear, shame) fosters natural healing and even miracles. The episode urges listeners to clear stuck energy daily, ask for divine help, and prioritize mindfulness to prevent suffering, turning health challenges into opportunities for growth.

Learnings

• Body as Intelligence: Your body communicates through sensations; ignoring them creates separations that manifest as illness—listen and respond with awareness to restore wholeness.
• Conscious Healing Over Symptom Treatment: Pain relievers and "whack-a-mole" medicine provide temporary relief but don't address root energetic blockages; true healing comes from sitting with discomfort and contextualizing it (e.g., "What am I supposed to learn?").
• Daily Clearing Practices: Journal and release unprocessed emotions before bed to prevent buildup; modalities like psilocybin, MDMA, or therapy can surface deep trauma for integration.
• Surrender and Non-Resistance: By accepting pain without labeling or fighting it, energy dissipates—Smoke's hemorrhoid story shows how this resolved severe suffering in hours.
• Proactive Mindfulness: Develop contemplative habits while healthy to build resilience; catastrophic events are "forced interrupts" that prompt reflection, but prevention through consciousness is key.

Universal Truths

• Health is an extension of consciousness: Physical ailments often arise from unprocessed emotional or spiritual fractures, not random destiny—raising awareness restores life-force energy flow.
• Nothing withstands conscious awareness: Stuck energy (from trauma or suppression) causes disease, but presence and surrender allow it to dissolve, leading to automatic healing.
• Miracles stem from high consciousness: Levels above 500 (love and beyond) access divine power, enabling spontaneous recoveries; group fields amplify this, as seen in saints and documented healings.
• Suffering is optional: Pain is inevitable, but suffering comes from resistance—asking for help from a higher power transforms challenges into growth without unnecessary torment.
• We're sovereign beings in a free-will realm: Life's curveballs reflect our energetic state and karma, but choices like clearing shadows elevate us to attract better experiences.

Examples

• Personal Ailment Clearance: Smoke recounts clearing 25-40 ailments in his 50s (e.g., prediabetes, gout, stomach issues) by raising consciousness—no meds needed, as issues "fell away" naturally.
• Hemorrhoid Healing: Before a major talk, a debilitating hemorrhoid emerged from reliving trauma during rehearsals. By surrendering at 5 AM—accepting the pain, asking for divine help, and contextualizing—it resolved enough by 10 AM to rehearse and deliver the speech pain-free.
• Stroke as Catalyst: The family member's crisis highlights how built-up pressure from unaddressed issues manifests as strokes or cancers, forcing surrender and life reevaluation—early signs were encouraging, like moving from ICU.
• Hawkins' Scale in Action: At low levels (<200), disease thrives; above 500, miracles occur—e.g., being around high-calibrating people can heal others temporarily, but personal work sustains it.
• Daily Journaling: Writing down 5-10 unprocessed events and consciously releasing them before bed clears energy, ensuring a fresh start and preventing accumulation.

Smoke Trail Threads

• Builds on Episode 28 (Dr. Jere Rivera-Dugenio) by linking scalar energy and NDEs to consciousness-driven healing, emphasizing energetic fields for wholeness.
• Echoes Episode 26 (Susan Hassen) on quantum sphere healing and inner child work, expanding how trauma fractures create blockages that awareness can mend.
• Ties to Episode 25 (Andrew Lobo) on questioning orthodoxy, applying it to healthcare—challenging symptom-focused medicine in favor of holistic, consciousness-based approaches.
• Connects to The Smoke Trail’s Guide to Raising Consciousness for Leaders sections on emotional processing and mindset shifts, offering practical tools like surrender for health integration.
• References solo questions from Episodes 1-15, such as those on resilience and forgiveness, as pathways to clear trauma and elevate energy.
