#021 This episode is dedicated to artist, world-renowned photographer, and journalist Layla Love. She is a progressive thought leader, a visionary, a luminary. She uses art as an alchemical process to illuminate the human consciousness. Layla speaks about 'The Rise of the Butterfly' an anti-human trafficking nonprofit organization.
Layla says: "Art paired with purpose loses its ego."
She captures life as a series of adventures and expeditions into the unknown, returning always with a greater sense of what it means to be human. After studying journalism and global communications at Richmond International University in London she realized that visual imagery has the greatest impact on our modern communication process. At 21, she began a five-year photojournalism tour to war-torn and compromised regions with a focus on the plight of women. Love sees a world where art changes people, and people change the world.
Love's photography has been exhibited worldwide including a photographic selection to the White House permanent collection in 2008. She has shown at Paris Photo, Art Basel, the MoMa sponsored AiPAD Photography Show in New York. Ms. Love has participated in over 100 photographic exhibitions. Love's image the Fullest Bloom was adapted individually for over 30 Tiffany & Co. Diamond Showrooms worldwide attesting to Love's attention to detail and mastery of fine art printing."

#020 Christel shows how she spontaneously opened up to animal slaughter, and to the voices of the animals that want to be heard. Driving in a car up a hill brought her in this other state that allowed her to perceive the cry for help. It was more intense every time: animals screaming, images, visuals that seem to be appearing out of nowhere of blood, pain, cruelty, slaughtering, and their question: 'Hear Us! See us in our intelligence, in our aliveness, in who we truly are.'
This experience was terribly painful, but at the same time, Christel describes how she went beyond the denial around it, beyond the unconsciousness, the way in which we block things out.

#019 Christel speaks with Laura Lentz, an international respected author, creative coach and writing teacher living on Kauai. She is the co-founder of the Literati Academy and the StoryQuest community. She speaks about 'Syncreation': the magic that happens when writing together in a group: How writers become in synch with each other when writing together.
"Deep listening is a practice," Laura says, something we don't learn in school. It is about how to respectfully listen to another person and holding the space for the truth in it.
Laura reveals: Story is going to save the world. In these intense times, story is how we are able to perceive each other's differences, it gives us a bridge to understanding each other.
Laura's new book Story Quest is a workbook about the Hero's journey. It is for writers to understand the writers personal journey inside of the collective journey. Laura discusses how the hero's journey shows up in our lives and in literature.
#018 In the last episode Christel wrote from the intimacy of the last act, how the last time she was intimate with her partner who was dying, was like being robbed from all her money in the bank account of their connection.
After the last episode, Christel interviewed other people, who had lost their partner to disease. They all described similar experiences, being in survival mode, a state of shock, and a sense of void that they were left with. Sometimes for a long time. Speaking about it now, was very liberating.
In this episode Christel writes to her partner that she lost over a year ago, it is like she is there with him, in a cave with dripping water. (he was a well driller in his life) and he starts to speak.
It is an example of telepathic writing, she says:'It is as if we are released from the story we created together.'

#017 of the Telepathic Writing Salon Podcast. The reality of sex and intimacy upon dying.
Episode #010 of the Telepathic Writing Salon Podcast was about losing your virginity as the most precious act. Having sex for the first time, how it could have been such a beautiful thing, but mostly it isn’t, it is clumsy, overwhelming, a sense of losing your innocence, crossing a big threshold.
And the same is true for making love for the last time. Something which is hardly spoken about: is sex and intimacy and dying.
When 2 partners have shared a wonderful intimacy and then…one of them departs: is dying. And they know it. And their lovemaking and intimacy as they had it has to die too, at least at a certain level.
And I believe this could be a most beautiful thing, but also the ugliest
And that is what I am writing about today.
I had a lovely relationship with my last partner, who passed away last year. For 7 years to the day, we were together. And we shared many wonderful, intimate moments, the lovemaking was always good, or multilayered, honoring, expansive, uplifting, creative, and multisensory, so much beautiful exchange.
But then got sick. The cancer spread to his whole body. And he did not want to die. He didn’t want to acknowledge that he was dying it. He was desperately trying to fight it.
But then there were these actions, that showed that he knew it was the end of his life, and he would act upon it in desperate ways. One of which was our last intimate moment together, three weeks before he passed away.

#016 This is Part 2 in the story about Clea, and her dance between living and dying as it came out in her journey through cancer.
In episode 15, Christel read pieces about Clea's process, pieces that Clea never heard before. Now we hear Clea's side of the story, how she relived the experience again, how she felt the depth of it and felt how close she was to dying.
Christel and Clea have known each other for a long time, and Christel always believed in Clea's ability to heal but at some point, even that got compromised.
Christel tells how underneath it all she could aways feel this part in Clea that was always so vibrant and alive, but there was now also hope being swept away, swept away by the morphine that Clea took to deal with her incredible pain.
At some point, the cancer was metastasized everywhere in her body and she was in a hospital bed unable to move.
‘If you want to heal you need to stop the morphine’ Christel told her, when that came out in the writing. Clea stopped cold turkey. They did two Dreamwalks together, a process to go to the root of the choice to live. These were incredibly healing as Clea describes from that moment her body started to heal and the cancer markers in her blood that were very high before now decreased dramatically.
We hear Clea describe the different phases in her cancer and what ultimately healed her, what her advice to other people would be, and what she would like to tell the doctors.

#015 This is the first episode in an intense series of two with host Christel Janssen about her dear friend Clea, who had breast cancer. It is a heartbreaking story about a terrible disease, about the connection in a deep friendship, about hope and losing hope and reclaiming the choice for life, about 'dreamwalks,' about the way different realities play out in our body.
In 2007 Clea was treated with radiation for cancer in her breast, but a few years later it came back. And it spread throughout her whole body, eventually making her almost paralyzed in a hospital bed. Christel has always been her advocate, believing in her, believing in her choice against conventional methods, and in her ability to completely heal her self. Christel did a few 'dream walks' with her, which comes down to deeply asking the question: do you want to go back to your body and become fully alive, which has a tremendous effect on our ability to heal and create a miracle.
Clea had so much pain at some point that she needed morphine. Christel describes how she realized how morphine takes away the ability of the body to heal itself.
Christel writes from these experiences and the many layers that Clea went through, from looking for a cause of the disease, to completely reclaiming herself.
"I am meant to be a miracle" she whispered in her hospital bed.
Witness in this first episode the many worlds and dynamics behind the reality of cancer as Christel writes and reads from these states. In part two of Dancing at the Edge of Living and Dying Clea will be the guest in the Telepathic Writing Salon podcast and she will reveal her intense journey, and how she got through it.
#014 Christel wrote a large part of her book, Forty-Nine Days, on the music from the film Interstellar. The film's score is from Hans Zimmer. Now it is six years later, and she sees the movie for the first time and it touched her deeply.
She is stunned that one of the messages in the movie is the same as in her book: that interdimensional communication is possible, and that love is the only thing that can transcend space and time. In this episode, she describes why Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan, really touched her, and how the scientific explanations in the movie validate her experiences.
She shares one experience in her book, in which she describes how telepathy with her lover in a coma took place.

#013 Christel speaks about the state of in-between, and how fluid time is. As a young child, Christel would visit Italy each summer and spend four weeks camping on the sea.
And each year, the moment they entered Italie, she would get sick, really sick. Each vacation she would spend in bed. Delirious, and hallucinating.
Now Christel looks back and writes from this state of in-between and realizes how wonderful those times were, that being sick and delirious brought her in these other states that gave her access to whole other parts of her life. She discovered she was able to move forward in time and already experience older parts of herself.

#012 In this episode, Adikanda shares a beautiful but very tragic example of Telepathic Writing. It is part of her amazing body of work called the Oonah transmissions.
In 2004 a nine-year-old girl went missing in Toronto and there was a call for anybody who had any kind of information. When Adikanda’s daughter insisted to her mother to connect to her, Adikanda gave in and received a transmission. The parents recognized a connection to their daughter and for weeks Adikanda then received many transmissions from her.
At some point, the little girl died and the nature of the transmissions changed dramatically and became expressions of beautiful wisdom grace and awareness far beyond what a little girl would have known. They became teachings.
The girl asked to be called Oonah, which later appeared to be the name of her favorite aunt.
The one that she shares here is called: “the River…” and gives meaning to this whole experience for all of us.
It was received on July 23rd, 2004.
“… The River…it is about life… not that it is over, not that it is lost, but that it is a force of vitality beyond loss that sleeps inside of us all, ready at any moment to be awakened by our willingness to see.”
