All I can say about this unique, experiential episode is WOW. This week we’re continuing our conversation with spiritual Medium Bree Melanson, who teaches me how to “muscle test,” and you get to follow along at home. Muscle testing can help you intuit where your limiting beliefs lie, using your body as a gauge. This third-eye-opening, centering exercise is so easy to do on your own (not while driving!) and will open your mind and heart to subconscious patterns that may be hindering you. I was so surprised by this wild episode and I’m sure you will be too! --- Not your conventional psychic, Bree Melanson offers accessible and soul-inspiring spiritual straight-talk as a medium and direct channel to help unfold individual and collective potential. Bree uses her personal journey to her inner knowing and her experience of navigating a series of life bumps and trust falls with the Universe as the foundation for supporting others in connecting with their own innate psychic abilities. She offers a real, raw, and contemporary approach to empowering others to live in their purpose through connecting with their guides, clearing limiting beliefs, having real conversations with the soul and experiencing the ease and freedom of living in alignment with their purpose. Now teaching and speaking to international communities online and in-person, and balancing her time in Big Sur, CA, Bree has more soulful tools in her pocket than you can shake a smudge stick at. And, she keeps it human while casually talking to angels and light beings...NBD.   Special Guest: Bree Melanson www.breemelanson.com www.instagram.com/bree_melanson   Creator & Host: Brett Larkin http://www.brettlarkin.com/   Sound Engineer: Zach Cooper www.zmcmusic.tumblr.com   Producer: Benn Mendelson www.sivanaspirit.com www.sivanapodcast.com   Support the Show:   Please consider leaving us a rating or review on iTunes!

Josh, founder of the “The Detox Dudes,” holds nothing back in this episode as we talk about all things detoxification. We cover: colon cleansing, charcoal, avoidance diets, spring versus distilled water, sunlight, and dozens of tips Josh learned in his 4 year journey detoxing from severe mercury poisoning. Josh tells us he’s, “Certain that heavy metal toxicity and parasites are responsible for the massive scale of loneliness, depression, hunger, war, and violence we endure today.” While the idea of detoxing our bodies and our homes can be overwhelming, Josh breaks down the most important action steps he suggests we take. There are lots of gold nuggets about how to best heal our digestive tract (and colon!) in this uncensored episode. --- Josh Macin – “This detox program feels like I am sitting on a pot of gold. Like I’m holding a universal secret and it wants to explode out of me. This universal secret has been a cumulative effort of my own three years of forced schooling, working directly with pioneers in the health world, and from the countless hours studying the public work of several different world-class detox doctors. The amount of cumulative suffering that went into this program is probably equivalent to that of a small impoverished country. The amount of time deciphering the truth runs into hundreds of thousands of hours, and the amount of money spent is well into the millions. Through everything, I have learned that detox is more of an art than a science.”   Special Guest: Josh Macin https://thedetoxdudes.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAge2qdCzQ8DepPl39u-zdA   Creator & Host: Brett Larkin http://www.brettlarkin.com/   Sound Engineer: Zach Cooper www.zmcmusic.tumblr.com   Producer: Benn Mendelson www.sivanaspirit.com www.sivanapodcast.com   Support the Show:   Please consider leaving us a rating or review on iTunes!

I connected with Josh through a mutual friend. After checking out his website and Youtube channel, I knew immediately that his story needed to be shared. Today, Josh shares how he went from competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, winning world championships, to a state of extreme physical pain and suicidal thoughts in the span of only two weeks. After trying all traditional psychotherapies, with extreme physical pain and inflammation all over his body, Josh traveled deep into the Amazon to explore other realms via plant medicines – hoping for a miracle cure. Unraveling the mystery behind his sudden illness will have you at the edge of your chair. Don’t miss this powerful story! --- Josh Macin – “This detox program feels like I am sitting on a pot of gold. Like I’m holding a universal secret and it wants to explode out of me.
