Step into the aromatic world of frankincense with this enlightening episode of Surviving Changes. We're exploring the golden tears of the Boswellia tree that have been cherished across cultures for thousands of years – and for good reason.

Frankincense isn't just another pretty scent. These unassuming golden nuggets pack surprising power for both physical wellness and spiritual practice. When burned, frankincense releases compounds that can help reduce stress, support respiratory health, and even offer anti-inflammatory benefits. It's essentially nature's own diffuser, no technology required.

But the magic goes deeper than physical benefits. There's something profound about the way frankincense transforms a space – creating what I call that "why does my house suddenly feel wise" effect. Used in sacred practices from ancient Egypt to modern meditation studios, this resin clears negative energy and enhances spiritual connection. As I share in this episode, burning frankincense before journaling or prayer creates "a deeper groove" for your thoughts, "like turning your mind into vinyl" to capture deeper impressions and insights.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your self-care routine, enhance your meditation practice, or simply want your home to smell like "the back room of a mystical bookstore," frankincense might be the spiritual bestie you never knew you needed. Listen now to discover how to incorporate this ancient wellness practice into your thoroughly modern life, and check out my TikTok shop for all the supplies to get started on your frankincense journey. Stay fragrant and stay curious!

Discover a powerful secret that's been hidden from the public until now—the Living Body Visualization Meditation from the CIA's declassified Gateway Project. This remarkable technique harnesses your mind's natural abilities to identify and heal physical imbalances through conscious energy manipulation.

The meditation begins with centering breath work before guiding you to visualize a pure white light at your heart center. This foundational energy becomes your healing tool as you transform it into a light bar that can scan your entire body. By shifting this bar through a spectrum of colors—blue for calm, green for vitality, amber for mental clarity, and red for grounding life force—you'll learn to identify areas in your body that need attention.

What sets this visualization apart is its practical application. As you move the colored light bar from head to toe, you'll observe where the energy dims or flickers, revealing hidden tensions and potential health issues. These areas become the focus for targeted healing using purple light infused with regenerative qualities. The technique offers a profound way to take control of your wellbeing without relying on external interventions.

This meditation represents the intersection of cutting-edge consciousness research and ancient healing wisdom. I'm sharing these steps openly because everyone deserves access to this knowledge. While I'll be creating a guided version for subscribers soon, you can begin practicing immediately with the instructions provided. Take this opportunity to develop your innate healing abilities and experience firsthand what government research has confirmed—the extraordinary power of your own consciousness to transform your physical reality.

Try this visualization in a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Notice what changes occur in your body and energy after consistent practice. Your healing journey is in your hands—literally and figuratively!

Remember when growing your own food wasn't a revolutionary act? The Surviving Changes podcast takes you on a journey through America's shifting relationship with food production, from Jefferson's vision of independent farmers to today's restrictive regulations that can make planting tomatoes in your front yard an act of defiance.

Food sovereignty—the right to control our own food systems—was once fundamental to American identity. But something changed. Regulations crept in, HOAs began enforcing "aesthetics over agriculture," and in some states, you can be fined for collecting rainwater on your own property. Meanwhile, millions face food insecurity not because there isn't enough food, but because the systems delivering it are broken, expensive, or inaccessible.

Meet Alex from Florida, who transformed a small apartment patio into a thriving mini-garden during the pandemic. What began as a hobby evolved into community support and eventually a $2,500 monthly income from selling homegrown produce to neighbors. When Alex's HOA sent warning letters about "unauthorized planter boxes," they pushed back and won—because feeding yourself and your community shouldn't be controversial.

Alex's story reminds us that gardening isn't just about plants; it's about power, community, and resilience. Whether you have acres of land or just a window box, you can reclaim some independence one seed at a time. Ready to start? Download our Backyard Gardener app for free heirloom tomato seeds (just pay shipping) and join the growing movement of Americans taking food production back into their own hands.

What happens when government surveillance targets ordinary Americans? The shadowy world of fusion centers represents one of the most concerning yet least understood aspects of our national security apparatus.

Built in the aftermath of 9/11 to improve intelligence sharing between agencies, these data hubs have morphed into something far more sinister. With minimal oversight and alarming financial incentives, fusion centers now collect vast amounts of information on millions of Americans – many with no connection to terrorism or criminal activity.

My own experience with fusion center targeting began after I declined a White House invitation and made political decisions that apparently landed me on their radar. What followed was textbook psychological warfare: subtle technology interference escalated to home break-ins where nothing was stolen but personal items were disturbed. Police surveillance became constant. Most devastatingly, people I trusted – even family members – were apparently recruited and compensated to participate in my monitoring and harassment.

This isn't conspiracy theory – it's documented reality. Government reports, lawsuits, and whistleblower testimony confirm that fusion centers have systematically expanded beyond their original mission. They've monitored environmental activists, journalists, and those who simply express dissenting political views. Their tactics, sometimes called "gang stalking," employ sophisticated psychological pressure designed to isolate, discredit, and destabilize targets.

The implications for democracy are profound. When government agencies can secretly target citizens without accountability, the impact extends beyond individual victims to threaten our collective freedom. Join me as we expose this hidden system and demand the transparency that true national security requires.

Have you ever realized your harshest critic is staring back at you in the mirror? This raw, unfiltered episode explores my unexpected journey to self-love after facing betrayal, false accusations, and twelve years of wandering the world with nothing but a backpack and faith.

The turning point came from the most unlikely source - the very person trying to destroy me. While working on Roster Runner, a project I poured myself into, I apologized profusely to Chris (my brother's friend who later filed false charges against me) for not accomplishing enough. His response changed everything: "Don't worry, no one can beat you up more than you beat yourself." This brutal truth forced me to confront my self-destructive patterns. Why was I continuing to harm myself when others had already caused enough damage?

My transformation didn't come from expensive skincare or filters (though my iPhone settings help!). The real change happened during eighteen months away from social media, dedicated entirely to healing. Now when people comment that I look better than I did twelve years ago despite everything I've endured, I know it's because I've broken the cycle of self-criticism. I wake up loving myself each morning, acknowledging my journey, and refusing to be my own enemy anymore. I recognize past mistakes but focus on fixing what I can in the present.

If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: love yourself today and every day. You've been with yourself through everything - you deserve your own kindness more than anyone else's. What might change if you decided to become your own strongest ally instead of your worst critic?

PS this was actually a TikTok post that I thought fit here too.
