Acerca de esta escucha

 Hi, I'm Nancy Showalter. And this podcast is for you if you instinctively know that there is more to life than what you have been taught and you're not afraid to explore beyond conventional belief systems. Remember how everyone thought the world was flat and if you challenged that you were crazy? Or how people said if we were meant to fly God would give us wings? What about, "civilization is only four thousand years old," but science tells us differently? Very few of us are living to our fullest potential. I believe that is because most of us do not access the divinity within--the part that is one with our Creator. And how do we do that? That, and more, is what this podcast is all about.

  • The Power of Visualization: Imagine It, Live It, Become It

    The Power of Visualization: Imagine It, Live It, Become It
    Jun 24 2025
    Welcome to today’s episode where we are exploring a practice that’s been used by mystics and Olympic athletes alike. For sure, it’s a practice your higher self already understands, even if your mind has forgotten. I’m talking about the power of visualization.What Is Visualization and Why It MattersVisualization is more than just daydreaming. Yes, it uses the power of your imagination but combined with the conscious creation of mental images with the purpose of linking your inner desires to your outer reality. It’s intentional. It’s focused. And when done correctly, it can literally rewire your brain and reshape your life.Saint Germain, in his book Saint Germain on Alchemy, said this:“All that the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of man can achieve through the God flame within.” The God flame is the Divine Spark in your heart that gives you life. And notice he said, “conceive and believe.” Doubt alone can sabotage the outcome.Visualization is how we bring that “God flame” into focus. It’s the spiritual sketchpad for the life you want to manifest.When you visualize clearly—whether it's a healthy body, a thriving relationship, a successful business, or a deeper spiritual connection—you begin to tune in to that possibility. You raise your frequency to meet it. You don’t just think about it—you feel it. And that’s where the magic happens.What Science Is Now ConfirmingNeuroscience now tells us that the brain doesn’t know the difference between something vividly imagined and something actually experienced.When you visualize yourself succeeding—say, giving a public talk or running a marathon—your brain activates the same neurochemical sequences it would if you were doing it in real life. You trigger your motor cortex, your planning centers, your emotional response systems—all from within.They say that this process helps build new neural pathways and rewires your beliefs. You literally create a “new normal” in your nervous system. Visualization also activates your Reticular Activating System, which is like a filter in your brain that starts scanning the world for opportunities that match what you are visualizing and focusing on. Think the law of attraction meets neuroplasticity.The Athlete’s Secret WeaponLet’s bring this down to earth with a real-world example.Michael Phelps, the Olympic swimmer, is a master of visualization. His coach revealed that for years before major races, Phelps would mentally rehearse every detail of his performance—the strokes, the turns, the crowd noise, even the water getting in his goggles.And during the 2008 Olympics, something extraordinary happened. In one of his races, his goggles did fill with water. But Phelps didn’t panic. He had already “swum that race blind” in his mind so many times, he executed it flawlessly—by memory.He won gold.Why? Because visualization was his training. The inner image shaped the outer reality.And many other athletes have said the same thing about rehearsing in their minds before a game or a competition.A Spiritual Perspective on Playful PowerRemember how, as children, we could imagine anything? A cardboard box became a spaceship. A blanket became a cape. That was our divine creative power at work—before it got filtered by fear, logic, and “reality.”Visualization brings that divine play back into your life. It reconnects you to your spiritual innocence and your creative authority.Saint Germain also taught that visualization isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s a command to the ethers. When combined with emotion, it creates form.So don’t just think it. Feel it. See it. Be it. You step into that reality, seeing and experiencing the outcome.How to Start TodaySo if you have never consciously visualized something you wanted to create, accomplish or draw to you, here are some pointers to begin:* Pick one goal. Be specific. Specificity is very important. Let’s say, “I want to confidently deliver my next presentation.”* Then close your eyes and imagine yourself walking up, breathing calmly, smiling, and delivering your talk smoothly. In fact, deliver that talk in your mind.* Then add feeling. Feel the joy, the confidence, the energy of your audience. Feel and hear them laughing when you say something funny or amusing. See them intently listening to your every word.* Repeat daily. Let it become so real in your mind that your body starts believing it's already happened.* Let go of the ‘how.’ Stay open to the divine orchestration of events that will align with your vision. This is your creation.Visualization is a spiritual art as well as a neurological science. It’s how we speak to our subconscious. It’s how we co-create with God.Saint Germain reminds us: “The flame of God never fails. And all that is imagined through the sacred mind of God, and claimed in righteousness, must come to pass.”So, if you're ready to step into your next chapter—don’t just work ...

  • Push My Buttons and I’ll Show You My Shadow!

    Push My Buttons and I’ll Show You My Shadow!
    Jun 10 2025
    Hello and welcome to today’s episode where we skip the fluff, challenge the narratives, and dive deep into the soul work that actually transforms your life.Today we’re going to talk about something you won’t find on most meditation apps or spiritual influencer reels—emotional buttons. I think you know what I’m talking about… those triggers that, when pushed, bypass your logic and throw you into an instant emotional reaction.Someone cuts you off in traffic. Your partner interrupts you mid-sentence. You walk into a cluttered room after a long day—and boom. You're suddenly angry, annoyed, or just shut down. It happens fast, almost like a reflex. But here’s the spiritual truth: No one is pushing your buttons. You’re reacting to your own unhealed stuff.So, let’s talk about how to disconnect these buttons—not repress your emotions, but actually understand, rewire, and ultimately reclaim your power.Know Thy Triggers (Because They Know You)We all have emotional buttons—but they’re not universal. Yours may be triggered by a late text message, while someone else couldn’t care less. That’s the first clue: These reactions are personal. They're built from your own experiences and internal beliefs.The first step is simple but not easy: Observe yourself.Start paying attention. When you get angry, anxious, or offended, hit the pause button. Ask yourself:* What just happened?* Who was involved?* What was said?* What emotion came up?And—here’s the kicker—does this feel familiar? Because chances are, it’s not the first time this button’s been pushed.You’re not crazy or broken for reacting. But you are responsible if you want to change.Getting Real with Yourself (And Maybe a Few Trusted Friends)Self-awareness isn’t always a solo project. Sometimes we need mirrors—people we trust to tell us the truth.Ask a few close friends or family members: “What do you think sets me off emotionally?” You might be shocked. What you think is a “normal reaction” might look like an overreaction to others.But don’t take it personally—use it. It’s feedback and that’s valuable.Then, take what you’ve learned and make a list. Write out your emotional triggers. Don’t judge them, just name them. You can’t heal what you won’t face. This alone can be a revealing exercise.The Hidden Cost of Being TriggeredThe truth is, your emotional buttons are hurting you.They’re not just an inconvenience. They’re blocking your peace, your growth, your success, and even your spiritual evolution. Think about it:* Are your buttons damaging your relationships?* Making you look unprofessional?* Sabotaging your confidence?Every time you react instead of respond, you give away your power. Reacting and responding may seem similar, but they come from very different places within you.Reacting is often immediate, emotional, and unconscious—it's a knee-jerk impulse driven by old wounds, habits, or ego defenses. It usually happens without thought and often leads to regret or escalation.Responding, on the other hand, is intentional. It’s a conscious choice made after pausing, observing, and considering the situation. Responding comes from awareness rather than reactivity—from the higher self rather than the wounded self. In essence, reacting is being controlled by the moment; responding is taking control of the moment.Uncover the Origin StoryNow here’s where it gets deeper: Where did these buttons come from?Childhood? A past betrayal? A controlling parent? A traumatic event?Dig into the why. For example, if being ignored sends you into a rage, ask yourself: When in my past did I feel invisible? That question alone can lead to profound healing.This is shadow work. And it’s sacred.Rewrite the ScriptNow that you have identified your triggers, it’s time to ask:What would a healthy, empowered response look like?Not the spiritual bypass version. Not the fake smile. But the real you—responding with awareness, not reaction.Play out scenarios in your mind. “Next time I feel disrespected, I’m gonna pause, breathe, and speak my truth calmly.”It is possible to interrupt your emotional reactions. Mentally speak to yourself by name, “Nancy, stop, I’m handling this.” Then take a step back, evaluate and respond. And remember, silence is a response if that is what is the best response is in a particular situation.It won’t be perfect at first. But every time you pause instead of explode, you weaken the old wiring.Practice, Fail, RepeatSpiritual mastery doesn’t mean you never get triggered. It means you notice it faster and recover quicker.You’re building new emotional reflexes and that takes time.Be patient with yourself. Your nervous system has to rewire. Your soul is learning to lead. And every time you choose consciousness over chaos, you gain ground.This isn’t self-help stuff. This is warrior-level soul work.Learning your emotional buttons—and choosing not to be ruled by them—isn...

  • Spiritual Intelligence: Awakening the Power They Don’t Want You to Remember

    Spiritual Intelligence: Awakening the Power They Don’t Want You to Remember
    Jun 3 2025
    Hello, everyone, and welcome to today’s episode where we are talking about a kind of intelligence that doesn’t get tested on any standardized exam—yet it’s the most important intelligence you’ll ever develop—spiritual intelligence.To sum it up in one statement, spiritual intelligence is your level of awareness of who you are, of the divine power that resides within you, and how to use that power for constructive change.This isn’t about head knowledge. This is about soul power.And here’s the hard truth: the world we’re living in today—chaotic, distracted, shallow—is designed to keep you from developing this intelligence. Because once you do, you stop being easy to control.So, what is spiritual intelligence really?Let’s define it clearly.Spiritual intelligence is not religion. It’s not being “nice.” It’s not about knowing every verse in the Bible or quoting every Eastern sage.It’s the living, breathing awareness that you are a co-creator with God—and that your thoughts, emotions, choices, and prayers have real consequences, both in the energetic and physical world.It’s waking up to the truth that you are not a victim. You’re not stuck. You’re not small. You’re not powerless. You are a son or daughter of God.Spiritual intelligence means taking radical responsibility for every area of your life—your health, your finances, your relationships, your happiness, your purpose.It’s not about blaming others or getting stuck in resentment over your past.You don’t get to blame your parents, your ex, your boss, your genetics, or the government for the rest of your life.Yes, life can be hard. Yes, injustice exists. But the most dangerous lie is that we are powerless against it.YOU ARE PART OF THE ANSWERThere’s a powerful near-death experience testimony floating around on YouTube—maybe you've seen it. It’s called “I Saw How Prayer Actually Changes Reality .”One moment in that video that was especially relevant to what we are talking about today is when the woman, Alice Carter, said she was told by the angel who was communicating with her—who she called Gabriel—showed her what she described as “a kind of a DNA structure made of light.”Gabriel explained that this structure was the pattern of all possible answers to any given prayer. He said prayer doesn’t change God’s mind, but it does change what’s possible within the framework of Free Will and Divine Law when humans pray. Remember, we’ve been given free will in this dimension and karma impacts Divine Law.Gabriel also said that people praying are not convincing God to act differently. Rather, they’re participating in the process of creation itself. Alice said, “I watched as prayers actually altered these light structures opening new possibilities and closing others. It was like watching a cosmic chess game where each prayer moved pieces in ways that affected countless other moves.”Think about that. You pray for healing, and God may send you to be the one who brings comfort.You pray for peace, and you may be the one who is called to forgive.You pray for change—and you may be the one God uses to carry it out.That’s what it means to be a co-creator. That’s spiritual intelligence in action.It’s about partnering with God to bring divine solutions into physical form—through your own hands, heart, voice, and will.WHAT SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE IS NOTNow let’s be clear—spiritual intelligence is not about running out and joining a protest just because everyone else is doing it. This is not about performative activism. It’s not about getting “loud for a cause” that you barely understand because it makes you feel relevant. True spiritual action comes from deep discernment and understanding, not emotional reaction.It’s guided by the inner voice of Spirit, not the mob. It’s about divine justice—not cancel culture, not virtue signaling. In fact, some of the loudest voices today are fighting for "justice" without the faintest clue of divine law or karma. That’s not spiritual intelligence—that’s spiritual immaturity with a megaphone.Spiritual intelligence is inner government. It’s self-mastery. And when you govern yourself, you can more effectively help heal the world around you.USING YOUR POWER FOR CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGESo, what do you do with this intelligence?You use it.You bless where you used to curse.You speak truth where you used to stay silent.You bring light where you used to project fear.You take up your spiritual tools—the violet flame, meditation, affirmations, decrees, prayer—and you go to work.And when you pray, don’t stop at the prayer.Ask: What can I do to be part of the answer?That’s spiritual adulthood. That’s what the world needs now—not more slogans, not more blame, not more noise, not more hate or violence.But spiritually intelligent people who are awake, aligned, and know how to constructively use the power of the Divine within them.So, I leave...
