It seems like disconnection is the disease of our time, and especially disconnection from self. Many people are feeling stuck and living a life on auto-pilot or simply responding to their life as opposed to creating it. But what if there was more to our existence than what meets the five senses or what we were programmed to believe? In one on one conversations with leading experts in wellness, well-being, consciousness and spirituality, Gateways to Awakening is a platform where leaders share best practices and offer a gateway to help those who are interested expand their awareness and consciousness. I’m your host Yasmeen Turayhi, and I’ve spent the last decade exploring the different modalities from the western traditions to the eastern traditions. I believe we need a bridge, and a place for people to access leading voices in the space of cutting edge ideas on wellness, neuroscience, intuition, quantum physics and , near-death experiences, consciousness. In this podcast, I interview a spectrum of guests from leading psychotherapists, Academics in Quantum Physics, Neuroscience, Neuroanatomy, and experts in Emotional Awareness, Binaural beats, Intuition, and more. I’m the founder of Inner-Knowing School (InnerKnowingSchool.com), a school that trains executives and creatives how to train their intuition for higher awareness, and how to manage their energy instead of their time. We ask these questions and more: How can I understand myself and bring greater awareness into my life? How can I connect with my own voice and intuition and be on the highest life path possible? Is there a greater intelligence, a primordial, intuitive intelligence?
