Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari

In the ever-spinning tapestry of our lives, today’s episode presents an enlightening return of Sara Landon, a revered spiritual teacher and channeler. With an essence that bridges the realms of the mundane and the mystical, Sara brings a unique perspective that resonates deeply with those seeking higher understanding. Her journey, marked by profound insights and transformative experiences, serves as a beacon for those navigating the intricacies of their spiritual paths.In our conversation, Sara Landon delves into the essence of channeling, an ability she believes lies dormant within all of us. "We all have a gift," she asserts, likening the process to the natural flow state experienced by artists and athletes. For Sara, channeling is not an esoteric skill reserved for the few but a natural expression of our higher selves. It's a harmonious alignment with source energy, a state she describes as being "in the zone," whether one is engaged in a creative pursuit or a heartfelt conversation.Channeling, as Sara explains, comes in many forms. Some may find their expression through automatic writing, while others might connect through art or music. There's even a rising recognition of light language, a unique form of communication she touched upon in our last discussion. This diversity in channeling methods underscores a universal truth: each of us is uniquely equipped to tap into and express this divine connection.One might wonder how to differentiate between the mind’s chatter and true guidance from a higher source. Sara offers a simple yet profound insight: "The voice in our head is usually judgmental or critical, condemning at times. When you really start tuning into your Higher Self, it's this unwavering love, this reverence for you, this compassion for you." This loving guidance, she emphasizes, stands in stark contrast to the self-critical voices we often mistake for our own thoughts.As we navigate our conversation, the topic of discernment naturally arises. How do we trust that the guidance we receive is not just a fabrication of our own mind? Sara encourages a practice of tuning in and trusting the messages that come from a place of love and alignment. This, she believes, is a lifestyle—a continuous relationship with our higher wisdom that guides us through both the mundane and the mystical aspects of life.The discussion then flows into the practicalities of living as a channel in today’s world. Sara candidly shares her journey, from the initial skepticism to embracing her role as a verbal channel. Her path, though not free of challenges, is a testament to the transformative power of trusting and following one’s higher guidance. It's a journey that has led her to not only profound personal growth but also to helping others awaken to their own gifts and potential.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSTrust the Unwavering Love: The guidance from your higher self is always rooted in love, compassion, and reverence for you. When in doubt, tune into the loving nature of the messages you receive.Channeling is a Universal Gift: Whether through art, writing, or conversation, everyone has the ability to channel. It’s about finding your unique expression and cultivating a relationship with your higher wisdom.Integration Over Judgment: Embrace all parts of your journey without judgment. True integration of your experiences, both past and present, leads to wholeness and a higher state of consciousness.As we draw our conversation to a close, Sara leaves us with a powerful reminder: "When we really take total responsibility, that we are creating our life, at least from the perspective of creating how we react to things, how we view things, our perspective on things... Now, I would expand that to say we do create our reality." This realization, she explains, is where true freedom lies. It’s an invitation to step fully into our power, to create not from a place of lack or fear, but from a space of love and limitless potential.Please enjoy my conversation with Sara Landon.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Today's guest is a writer, director, producer, actor, and indie filmmaking legend, Edward Burns.Many of you might have heard of the Sundance Film Festival-winning film called The Brothers McMullen, his iconic first film that tells the story of three Irish Catholic brothers from Long Island who struggle to deal with love, marriage, and infidelity. His Cinderella story of making the film, getting into Sundance, and launching his career is the stuff of legend.The Brothers McMullen was sold to Fox Searchlight and went on to make over $10 million at the box office on a $27,000 budget, making it one of the most successful indie films of the decade.Ed went off to star in huge films like Saving Private Ryan for Steven Spielberg and direct studio films like the box office hit She's The One. The films about the love life of two brothers, Mickey and Francis, interconnect as Francis cheats on his wife with Mickey's ex-girlfriend, while Mickey impulsively marries a stranger.Even after his mainstream success as an actor, writer, and director he still never forgot his indie roots. He continued to quietly produce completely independent feature films on really low budgets. How low, how about $9000. As with any smart filmmaker, Ed has continued to not only produce films but to consider new methods of getting his projects to the world.In 2007, he teamed up with Apple iTunes to release an exclusive film Purple Violets. It was a sign of the times that the director was branching out to new methods of release for his projects.In addition, he also continued to release works with his signature tried-and-true method of filmmaking. Using a very small $25,000 budget and a lot of resourcefulness, Burns created Nice Guy Johnny in 2010.Johnny Rizzo is about to trade his dream job in talk radio for some snooze-Ville gig that'll pay enough to please his fiancée. Enter Uncle Terry, a rascally womanizer set on turning a weekend in the Hamptons into an eye-opening fling for his nephew. Nice Guy Johnny's not interested, of course, but then he meets the lovely Brooke, who challenges Johnny to make the toughest decision of his life.The film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival. While he was releasing that film, Burns wrote, starred, and directed Newlyweds. He filmed this on a small Canon 5D camera in only 12 days and on a budget of only $9,000. Newlyweds Buzzy and Katie find their blissful life disrupted by the arrival of his half-sister and news of her sister's marriage troubles.In his book, Independent Ed: Inside a Career of Big Dreams, Little Movies, and the Twelve Best Days of My Life (which I recommend ALL filmmakers read), Ed mentions some rules he dubbed “McMullen 2.0” which were basically a set of rules for independent filmmakers to shoot by.Actors would have to work for virtually nothing.The film should take no longer than 12 days to film and get into the canDon’t shoot with any more than a three-man crewActor's use their own clothesActors do their own hair and make-upAsk and beg for any locationsUse the resources you have at your disposalI used similar rules when I shot my feature films This is Meg, which I shot that in 8 days, and On the Corner of Ego and Desire which I shot in 4 days.  To be honest, Ed was one of my main inspirations when I decided to make my first micro-budget feature film, along with Mark and Jay Duplass, Joe Swanberg, and Michael and Mark Polish. Ed has continued to have an amazing career directing films like The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, The Groomsmen, Looking for Kitty, Ash Wednesday, Sidewalks of New York, No Looking Back, and many more.Ed jumped into television with the Spielberg-produced TNT drama Public Morals, where he wrote, directed, and starred in every episode.Set in the early 1960s in New York City's Public Morals Division, where cops walk the line between morality and criminality as the temptations that come from dealing with all kinds of vice can get the better of them.His latest project is EPIX's Bridge and Tunnel is a dramedy series set in 1980 that revolves around a group of recent college grads setting out to pursue their dreams in Manhattan while still clinging to the familiarity of their working-class Long Island hometown. He also pulls writing, producing, and directing duties for all the episodes.Ed has continued to give back to the indie film community with his amazing book, lectures and his knowledge bomb packed director commentaries. Trust me to go out and buy the DVD versions of all his films. His commentaries are worth the price of admission.When I first spoke to Ed he told me that he had been a fan of the podcast for a while. As you can imagine I was floored and humbled at the same time. Getting to sit down and speak to a filmmaker that had such an impact on my own directing career was a dream come true. Ed is an inspiration to so many indie filmmakers around the world and I'm honored to bring this epic conversation to all of you.Please enjoy my conversation with Edward Burns.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In the tapestry of the cosmos, there are those who can read the stars and decipher the divine language of the universe. On today's episode, we welcome the insightful Pam Gregory, an esteemed astrologer whose journey began with a serendipitous encounter and has led her to unravel the mysteries of the celestial bodies. Pam Gregory offers a profound perspective on how the stars and planets influence our lives and the collective journey of humanity.Pam begins by sharing her belief in an impending metamorphosis for humanity. She envisions a future where we will transform into beings of light, shedding our dense physical forms and embracing a more telepathic and healing existence. This shift, she explains, will not be a gradual evolution but a significant leap in our state of being. "I think we're going to become beings that we have never been before, we're going to change our state of being there's going to be a complete metamorphosis," says Pam, painting a picture of a beautiful, light-filled future.Our conversation delves into the historical and practical aspects of astrology. Pam recounts her early encounter with astrology in Canada, where a chance meeting with a Jamaican astrologer changed her life. This encounter ignited a lifelong passion for studying the stars, a journey that has been as much about self-discovery as it has been about understanding the cosmos. Pam's ability to read a birth chart, which she describes as a unique sheet of music, allows her to provide insights into an individual's psyche and life path.Pam's description of astrology as a language is particularly enlightening. She compares it to learning French or Spanish, emphasizing that it is not about belief but about understanding and interpreting the archetypes and geometry of the planets. This approach demystifies astrology, presenting it as a practical tool for navigating life. "It's just a language," Pam explains. "It's literally a language so it's just like learning French or, or Spanish or whatever."In discussing the future, Pam highlights the significant astrological events shaping our world. She speaks of the transition from heavy earth and water signs to lighter air and fire signs, which will accelerate technological advancements and societal changes. Pam predicts that by 2026, we will witness a significant new beginning, a renaissance of creativity and spiritual awakening.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSMetamorphosis of Humanity: Pam foresees a leap in human evolution, where we transform into beings of light with heightened telepathy and healing abilities. This transformation will take place over the next decade, leading us to a more harmonious and connected existence.Astrology as a Language: Understanding astrology is like learning a new language. It provides a framework to interpret the archetypes and geometry of the planets, offering insights into our psyche and life path. It is not about belief but about mastering a complex and nuanced system of knowledge.Shift in Energies: The transition of outer planets into air and fire signs marks a shift towards faster, lighter energies. This change will bring about rapid advancements in technology and a shift in societal structures, moving away from top-down hierarchies to more collaborative and grassroots movements.Pam's insights extend to the broader societal transformations we are witnessing. She speaks of the Pluto return for the United States, a time of significant upheaval and rebirth, affecting the country's values and political system. This period, she suggests, will lead to a redefinition of what it means to be a nation, emphasizing grassroots movements and community-based governance.In this profound conversation, Pam Gregory offers a roadmap for navigating the complexities of our times. Her wisdom encourages us to embrace the changes ahead with an open heart and a willingness to transform. As we stand on the brink of a new era, Pam's insights remind us that we are all part of a larger cosmic dance, guided by the stars and the divine intelligence of the universe.Please enjoy my conversation with Pam Gregory.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In the realm of spirituality and Zen Buddhism, today's guest offers a unique blend of insight and experience. We welcome Brad Warner, a Zen Buddhist teacher and author of the profound book, "The Other Side of Nothing." Brad Warner has traversed a fascinating journey from the material world of entertainment to the deep, contemplative practices of Zen, bringing a fresh and accessible perspective to these ancient teachings.Brad's spiritual path began in an unlikely place—Africa. As a child, he was captivated by the vibrant religious iconography of the Indian population in Nairobi. This early exposure led him to explore Eastern religions, culminating in his study of Zen Buddhism at Kent State University. It was there that he encountered the transformative words of the Heart Sutra: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form." This revelation marked the beginning of his deep dive into Zen practice.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Essence of Meditation: Meditation stands at the core of Zen Buddhism, a practice that Brad insists is indispensable. "Meditation was the easiest way," he explains, drawing on his teacher's wisdom. This daily practice is not about achieving bliss but about engaging fully with the present moment, free from the constant pull of future desires.Understanding Non-Duality: Zen teaches the concept of non-duality, the idea that there is no true separation between the self and the universe. Brad likens individuals to puzzle pieces, each one essential to completing the whole picture. This view fosters a sense of interconnectedness and shared existence.Letting Go of Desires: A significant part of Zen practice is learning to let go of desires. Brad shares how meditation helps in this process, allowing practitioners to release each desire as it arises, making way for a more peaceful and centered life. "The best way to get any of those benefits is to forget about trying to get them," he advises.Brad's exploration of Zen is deeply rooted in the teachings of Zen masters who emphasize the practice as "good for nothing." This phrase, which may initially seem off-putting, encourages practitioners to engage in meditation without the expectation of future rewards, thereby embracing the present fully.Throughout our conversation, Brad sheds light on complex concepts like karma and reincarnation. He describes karma as action and reaction, a principle that highlights the interconnectedness of our actions and their consequences. Reincarnation, he explains, is less about individual continuity and more about the flow of life, similar to the lighting of one candle from another.Brad's unexpected journey from a career in the entertainment industry to becoming a Zen teacher underscores the unpredictable nature of spiritual paths. Initially resistant to teaching, he ultimately embraced it as his calling, recognizing it as his contribution to the world. "It seems to be what the universe wants from me," he reflects.In this profound conversation, Brad Warner offers practical insights while inviting us to explore the deeper mysteries of existence. His teachings remind us that the ultimate purpose of life may simply be to engage fully in each moment, responding to the needs of the present with awareness and compassion.Please enjoy my conversation with Brad Warner.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In the realm of spiritual journeys and divine encounters, today's episode offers a glimpse into a life filled with profound experiences and mystical insights. Paramahamsa Vishwananda graces our conversation with his presence, sharing the essence of his spiritual path and the encounters that shaped his life. From a young age, he was drawn to spirituality, experiencing visions and divine interactions that set him on a unique course.Growing up in a Hindu family, spirituality was a natural part of Paramahamsa Vishwananda's life. He recalls how, as a child, he was found in temples, drawn to divine spaces. A pivotal moment in his journey occurred when he encountered a mysterious figure, later revealed to be his master, Babaji. This encounter was not just a meeting but a profound spiritual awakening, where a simple question, "Do you see the light?" led him to witness a radiant vision. "Amazingly, there was a ball of light, like the sun, with a halo of light around it," he recalls.As he grew, these divine experiences became more frequent and significant. At the age of 14, a transformative event marked a new chapter in his life. Paramahamsa Vishwananda describes a night when a picture of Sai Baba of Shirdi emanated light, leading him into a deep meditation that lasted three days. This event was more than a vision; it was a deep dive into spiritual consciousness, altering his perception and guiding him towards his life's mission.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSDivine Encounters Shape Us: The encounters with Babaji and other divine figures in Paramahamsa Vishwananda's life were not just mystical experiences but guiding lights that shaped his spiritual path.Spiritual Awakening Can Happen Early: His journey illustrates that spiritual awakening can begin at a very young age, setting the stage for a life dedicated to spiritual growth and enlightenment.Transformative Experiences Are Powerful: The three-day meditation experience underscores how powerful and transformative deep spiritual experiences can be, often leading to significant changes in one's life and mission.Paramahamsa Vishwananda emphasizes the importance of devotion and the presence of God in every action. His teachings on Kriya Yoga, infused with devotion, highlight the need for a continuous awareness of the divine. He believes that true spirituality is not about external practices alone but about internal transformation and the realization of one's divine nature. "Devotion means everything that you do is with a remembrance of God," he explains.Our conversation also delves into the intersection of spirituality and science. Paramahamsa Vishwananda points out how ancient spiritual texts often align with modern scientific discoveries, particularly in quantum physics. He notes, "What was written 5,000 years ago is now being discovered by scientists." This convergence underscores the timeless wisdom of spiritual teachings and their relevance in today's world.In discussing the role of a guru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda stresses the importance of finding a master who can challenge and guide one towards self-realization. A true guru helps the disciple look inward, confronting their own limitations and leading them towards spiritual growth. "The journey from outside to inside is not an easy journey," he remarks, highlighting the transformative nature of true spiritual guidance.The episode concludes with reflections on the nature of bliss and enlightenment. Paramahamsa Vishwananda describes bliss as the ultimate state of love, a state that transcends ordinary experiences and infuses every aspect of life with divine joy. "The combination of love is bliss," he says, explaining that this state is higher than love itself and is the essence of enlightenment.In a world often filled with distractions and superficial pursuits, Paramahamsa Vishwananda's insights remind us of the deeper, more meaningful aspects of life. His journey is a testament to the power of devotion, the importance of divine encounters, and the transformative nature of true spiritual practice.Please enjoy my conversation with Paramahamsa Vishwananda.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In the boundless journey of the human soul, we often encounter guiding lights who help us navigate the complexities of existence. On today's episode, we welcome the luminous Suzanne Giesemann back to our podcast. With a heart full of wisdom and a spirit deeply attuned to the divine, Suzanne offers profound insights that resonate with our collective quest for understanding.Suzanne begins by reminding us that our spirit guides have mapped out our lives before we arrived here, much like a paper map guiding us along a planned highway with various exits. She eloquently compares this spiritual map to the choices we make, which sometimes divert us from our path but ultimately lead us back to our intended journey. This analogy is a gentle reminder that our passions and repeated interests are clues to our true paths. "What's your passion? What do you find yourself coming back to over and over in your life?" Suzanne asks, inviting us to reflect on our deepest callings.In our conversation, Suzanne and I delve into the energetic differences we feel when interacting in person versus through virtual means. The energy in the room with Suzanne was palpable, a testament to the presence of her spirit team. This exchange leads us to discuss her latest book, "The Awakened Way," which aims to help readers shift to a divinely guided life. Suzanne shares that readers have been moved to tears within the first few pages, feeling the book's energy resonate deeply within them.Suzanne offers a nuanced perspective on the so-called spiritual battle humanity faces, emphasizing the importance of words. She reframes the concept of negative energy, suggesting instead the term "not positive energy." This shift in language helps us see societal divisions not as a battle, but as a dynamic flow of differing vibrations. Suzanne encourages us to move beyond the story of conflict and see these energies as opportunities for growth and understanding.One of the most profound takeaways from our discussion is Suzanne's practice of shifting beyond the story. She teaches that by stepping into meditation and moments of presence, we can connect with our true selves beyond the roles and stories we play. This connection allows us to observe life's conflicts with compassion and patience, ultimately guiding us towards a more harmonious existence. Suzanne's advice to "shift beyond the story" serves as a powerful tool for navigating life's challenges.Suzanne also speaks to the importance of engaging with our experiences. She shares her personal journey of connecting with her stepdaughter who had passed away, highlighting how a single-minded focus can deepen our spiritual practices. By listening and engaging with the messages from beyond, Suzanne learned to recognize the voices of spirit guides and angels, transforming her meditation practice into a conduit for divine wisdom.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSEngage Beyond the Story: Shift your focus beyond your current narrative through meditation and presence, allowing you to see conflicts with compassion and patience.Words Carry Energy: Be mindful of the language you use, as words shape your perception and energy. Reframe negative concepts to understand them as part of a dynamic flow.Follow Your Passion: Repeated interests and passions are clues to your true path. Reflect on what you continuously return to in life to discover your divine purpose.In this profound conversation with Suzanne Giesemann, we explore the depths of spiritual wisdom and practical guidance for living a divinely guided life. Suzanne's insights remind us that we are not alone on our journeys, and that by engaging with our experiences, we can uncover the divine guidance available to us at all times.Please enjoy my conversation with Suzanne Giesemann.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In the vast tapestry of the cosmos, where the threads of existence weave through dimensions unseen, we find ourselves once again graced by the profound presence of Robin Jelinek. A returning guest, Robin is a channel for the Athena group, sharing timeless wisdom from the higher realms. Her insights guide us through the labyrinth of life, death, and the spiritual journeys that lie beyond.Our conversation begins with Robin’s reflections on recent celestial events, particularly the solar eclipse. This cosmic phenomenon, she explains, has stirred a resurgence of old emotions and unresolved issues. "The universe is now doing that for you," she says, highlighting how celestial movements can trigger deep emotional responses, pushing us toward healing and transformation. The eclipse acts like a Kundalini rising, creating magnetism that forces us to confront and release our emotional entrapments.Robin’s journey as a channel has evolved, allowing her to blend seamlessly with the divine flow. She shares that as one’s Kundalini energy rises and meets the crown, it unifies the soul and body, creating a natural, effortless flow of wisdom and knowledge. "You recognize that you are the one that either allows or denies things in your experience," she explains, emphasizing the power of self-realization and divine connection in navigating life’s complexities.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSEmotional Healing Through Cosmic Events: Robin's insights into the solar eclipse reveal how celestial events can trigger emotional healing. These cosmic occurrences mirror the process of Kundalini rising, pushing us to confront and resolve our deepest emotional wounds.Unified Soul and Divine Flow: Robin explains the unification of the soul and body through Kundalini energy, creating a seamless flow of divine wisdom. This connection allows us to live in harmony with our higher selves, channeling divine knowledge naturally.Power of Self-Love and Compassion: Robin emphasizes the importance of loving oneself and embracing one’s emotions. By offering compassion to our human experiences, we align with the divine and facilitate the flow of positive energy and abundance.In a particularly enlightening segment, Robin channels the Athena group to discuss the often misunderstood topics of death and the afterlife. The Athena group assures us that the transition from the physical body to the spiritual realm is seamless. "When you transition from your body, you don't miss a beat," they say. This transition brings full awareness of where we have been and where we are going, dispelling the fear of death and reinforcing the continuity of existence.The Athena group also provides comfort regarding our deceased loved ones. They explain that our loved ones use various signs to communicate with us, from birds knocking on windows to the inner sense of knowing their presence. This communication is a natural extension of our connection with the divine. By speaking to our loved ones as if they were still with us and trusting in their responses, we can maintain a meaningful connection beyond physical separation.One of the profound messages from the Athena group is the power of our focus and intention.
