In this episode, host Steven North welcomes singer and global artist Filomena Croce to trace a creative journey that weaves continents, cultures, and spirit through sound. From the first spark of trust to a finished five-track EP, they discuss how guidance, intuition, and synchronicity informed the music—and how listeners report palpable shifts in presence, emotion, and connection.

What you’ll hear

• The origin story of Nights of India: East‑inspired textures (harmonium, tabla, sitar) meeting layered devotional vocals

• How intention, crystals, and vibration infuse the recordings, including Steven’s amethyst channeling on Red Tara’s Earth at the Melbourne Mind Body Spirit Festival

• Filomena’s vocal approach: breathing motifs, multi‑part harmonies, and the “vocal ensemble” effect built from many layers

• The making of Mantra of the Three Realms and the decision to use an authentic mantra that can point to past–present–future or earth–atmosphere–beyond

• Creative trust over timelines: allowing projects to mature through health, life, and inspiration

• Filomena’s South China tour (Zhuhai, Macau, Shenzhen): performing jazz/Brazilian standards and originals with new bands on minimal rehearsal—and what stage presence feels like as moving meditation

• Live performance ideas: arranging stems so Filomena can sing lead while harmonies remain in the track

Key themes

• Sound as a vessel for consciousness and prayer

• Music as a remembering—opening gateways through frequency, breath, and devotion

• The divine feminine current of Red Tara/Guanyin and the path‑setting energy of Shiva

• Audience experiences: from sudden stillness to felt presence and tears of love

In this deeply reflective and soul-stirring episode of The Insatiable Lust for Life, Steven North reunites with poet, energy healer, and spiritual guide Janine Keall for a powerful exploration into the role of the mind in modern life.

Together, they unpack the question: “Why has the mind been made the master?” – diving into the impact of societal conditioning, the influence of the ego, and the soul’s longing to be heard beneath the mental noise.

Steven also shares a channeled perspective from his spirit guide, Amy North, offering insight into how humanity’s relationship with the mind has been shaped over time — and how we can return to heart-centered, soul-led living.

This conversation flows through topics like:

• The illusion of control and the fear-driven ego
• Childhood conditioning and the domestication of intuition
• How to quiet the mind to receive divine guidance
• The path to rebalancing inner authority
• Embracing humility, curiosity, and spiritual flexibility

Janine closes the episode with one of her potent, heartfelt poems — a reflection on the dance between mind and soul.

This is a call to awaken, to question, and to return to the stillness where our deepest truth lives.

Takeaways

• The mind is often a master of limitation rather than a servant of creativity.
• Negative thinking patterns are often born from conditioning and unresolved beliefs.
• Fear generated by the mind can delay our destiny and corrode intuition.
• Awareness, forgiveness, and surrender are key to reclaiming sovereignty over the mind.
• Living in the present moment allows for a deeper connection to joy and simplicity.
• The heart and mind can conflict, leading to disconnection from the soul.
• Trusting the process and surrendering control can lead to unexpected support.
• Limitation can be a gift that opens new avenues for growth and exploration.
• Forgiveness is a powerful tool for letting go and starting anew.
• Embracing playfulness can help us reconnect with our true selves and find joy.
