• Life Between Lives And Past Lives

  Have you ever wondered what lies beyond this lifetime or what wisdom your soul may carry through the ages? That was the heart of our extraordinary conversation on Life Between Lives and Past Life Hypnotherapy, where curiosity, skepticism, and hope intertwined to reveal a path toward healing and transformation.Walt opened the space not just as a host but as a seeker, welcoming abundance teacher and money coach JodieLynn and seasoned hypnotherapist Melanie to explore these profound dimensions. The question at the center, “What really happens between lives?”- was more than a philosophical musing. It was an invitation to courageously ask, “How can healing transcend the boundaries of this lifetime?”Melanie’s journey began with skepticism. “I thought I’d never do past life work. There’s enough to deal with in this lifetime. Why go looking into the past?” Yet, as she recounted, real stories changed her mind. One client’s chronic stomach pain led to a past life memory, a gunshot wound on a bridge, the pain repeating across incarnations. “Every symptom he experienced the moment of the shooting was a description of the symptoms he was experiencing now.” Healing occurred not just by remembering but by energetically releasing the wound, finally closing a chapter that spanned centuries.But what about the space between lives? Walt, echoing common confusion, asked, “When we say life between lives, what do we mean by that?” Melanie illuminated: “When we’re not in a body, we’re not dormant. We’re with friends. We’re with our guides. We’re visiting a whole other world.” The intense, loving humor of guides who “laugh with so much love” reminded us that we’re never alone and that healing can be light-hearted as well as profound.Jodielynn brought a candid vulnerability, wondering, “How do you know which session to do first?” Melanie’s answer was practical and compassionate: newcomers start with a past life journey to gently open the doors of memory,  those longing for deeper answers bring questions for their guides. “Most people come in asking: What am I doing here? What’s my purpose?” The answers, she shared, are often not about grand destiny, but about becoming “more of who we are expanding love and light, raising the vibration wherever we are.”Excerpts from the session’s quotes shimmered: “Our soul may be traveling away from a permanent home but our journey is a collective one.” And, more simply: “Pursue joy, not approval.”Transformation radiated through client stories and personal reflection. As JodieLynn observed, “I’ve seen it from a personal level, channeling and talking with guides has changed my life.” Melanie affirmed: “I see transformation on clients’ faces—the lightness, the openness, the sense that something has been lifted.”In the end, the most beautiful lesson was also the simplest. “Let there be peace on earth. Let it begin with me.” Healing, purpose, and connection don’t lie in far-off mysteries but in the daily courage to be kind to oneself, feel joy, and let go.LOA Today Episode Page: https://www.loatoday.net/life-between-lives-and-past-livesMelanie Smithson's Website: http://www.smithsonclinic.com/Follow the LOA Today podcast:  https://www.loatoday.net/follow#lawofattraction#manifesting#vibration#podcast#deliberatecreators#Q&A#waltthiessen#jodielynncraven#loatodayapp#YourDailyDoseOfHappy#PastLifeRegression #LifeBetweenLives #UnconditionalLove #SpiritualAwakening #Healing #Guides #SoulJourney #Transformation #Consciousness #LOAToday

• Adler vs. Freud

  In a candid and deeply personal conversation, Walt and Joel swept through the heart of psychological healing by comparing the monumental theories of Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler.Their discussion wasn’t just academic, it was a journey through lived experience, confronting trauma, growth, and the real meaning of moving forward.The conversation began with Walt asking, “Why is it that while almost everyone has heard of Sigmund Freud, so few know of Alfred Adler?” Joel’s answer went beyond history. “Adler saw the world from a different angle,” he shared. “While Freud believed the past defined us, Adler taught that our future can pull us forward.”This became a running theme: Freud’s focus on unending cycles of trauma versus Adler’s determination to move beyond hurt.Joel opened up about his own practice, saying, “I use Adler’s concepts often in my work—cognitive behavioral therapy, moving towards improvement and the right mindset.” Walt pressed: “Is this a controversial stance?” Joel didn’t shy away. “There’s a belief that focusing on action ignores the victim’s pain, but I see moving forward as honoring healing, not erasing suffering.”A striking question from the dialogue: “Does talking about the same trauma for years help, or does it trap us?” Joel recounted a case where a woman spent fifteen years in therapy over an unverifiable trauma. His approach: “Why don’t we pick a side and focus on fixing your life now?” This cuts to the core of the issue, can endless searching for causes actually debilitate our present?Walt and Joel agreed that trauma is real, but its definition does not have to become our identity. “Are we supposed to wear our diagnoses as badges for life?” Joel asked. They shared stories of young clients who could only describe themselves through disorders, missing out on their true selves and joys. “What do you enjoy? Who are you beyond your diagnosis?” Joel’s compassionate questioning broke through defenses and uncovered hope.Another emotional highlight: the struggle of those who simply aren’t ready for help. Walt shared advice given to a new therapist: “It’s not your job to fix them; you provide the tools, they must want change.” This compassionate boundary reminded listeners that healing is a partnership, not a rescue mission.The dialogue wasn’t just about psychology, it was about action, self-definition, and courage. “Why is it so hard to let go of pain?” Walt wondered. Joel responded honestly: “Sometimes people aren’t ready. But no one else can heal for us. We need to want it, and be willing to do the work.”Their conversation closes with a hope that more people, and more practitioners, will blend the best of both worlds - honoring past wounds but never being trapped by them. It’s a call to action for anyone who feels defined by yesterday, offering the promise: today, you can begin a new chapter.LOA Today Episode Page: https://www.loatoday.net/adler-vs-freudFollow the LOA Today podcast:  https://www.loatoday.net/follow#loatoday#lawofattraction#manifesting#vibration#podcast#deliberatecreators#Q&A#waltthiessen#joelelston#EmotionalHealing #TraumaRecovery #AdlerVsFreud #GrowthMindset #TherapyJourney #MentalHealthMatters #PersonalGrowth #PsychologicalHealing

• Awakening the Universe Within: Raj Khedun’s Journey to Ending Insomnia

  In today’s world, millions silently battle the sleepless nights and restless minds of insomnia. Yet, sometimes a single conversation can light up a path to healing.In an inspiring, deeply personal episode of LOA Today, host Walt welcomed Anne Marie, co-host and poet, alongside Raj, a transformed relationship coach, to explore a journey from insomnia’s grip to holistic well-being.Walt began with warmth: “We are so happy you decided to join us today.” The subject: insomnia. Anne Marie quipped, “You actually learn how to turn your insomnia into a gift.” But the core question echoed early on was insomnia a curse, or could it become a doorway to transformation?Walt asked, “Did this all start because you had insomnia?” Raj paused, a smile in his voice, “This is where it gets colorful and interesting.” He shared a pivotal memory: a trip at age three to the library, where he picked up books on planets and dinosaurs—powerful early seeds of curiosity about evolution, existence, and the mind’s capacity.Yet Raj’s life-changing turn began at age eighteen: a soul-shaking journey to India, led by his spiritually open mother. He described meeting a real-life “avatar” whose words stung but awakened: “You think you know something because you read a few school books. You know nothing. You don’t know who you are. You don’t know why you’re here.” Raj recalled, “I had to be metaphorically slapped, eat humble pie, and become humble.” That encounter sent him into “monk mode” for a decade—a silent retreat into introspection, Vedanta, yoga, Kabbalah, and inner search.When Walt asked about the connection to insomnia, Raj’s answer was profound: “The thing that is common to all of us is breath. The breath is the most important fuel for humans, yet we never talk about it.” He explained how breath, not medication, can unlock happiness and well-being: “Breathing helps your focus, clarifies, and if taught from the beginning, society would be in far better shape.”Raj introduced his “three, three” breath method: “Breathe in three parts through the nose, then three out the mouth.  It unlocks serotonin, dopamine, and the bliss molecule anandamide.” Anne Marie tried it, describing a “wonderful head rush, clarity, and less congestion. My whole head now feels clear.” Walt echoed: “Anytime you oxygenate yourself, you’re going to feel a rush.”Raj shared the ripple effects on his health: “I haven’t been sick for 25 years. People ask, ‘How do you do that?’ It’s so easy—anyone can do this.” The conversation illuminated a path away from meds and sleeplessness—a path toward peace, joy, and empowerment.Walt wrapped up, thanking Raj, “on behalf of those people you’ve never met. Thank you for making a difference.”This heartfelt discussion shows that hope and healing are often just a breath away.LOA Today Episode Page: https://www.loatoday.net/raj-khedunRaj Khedun's Website: https://33insomniahack.com/Follow the LOA Today podcast:  https://www.loatoday.net/follow#lawofattraction#manifesting#vibration#podcast#Q&A#waltthiessen#annemarieyoung#YourDailyDoseOfHappy#Insomnia #HealingJourney #Breathwork #SpiritualAwakening #HolisticHealth #MentalWellness #Transformation #LOAToday #Mindfulness #SleepSolutions

• When Stillness Sparks Creation

  In a world obsessed with wealth and material success, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. But what if the key to happiness, healing, and even our future as a society lies less in accumulating riches and more in cultivating connections with ourselves, one another, and the planet?This was the transformative question at the heart of a riveting and deeply emotional conversation between author Diana Colleen, abundance coach Jodielynn, and show host Walt.The discussion began with laughter and honesty about life’s unpredictability—whether it’s roofers pounding overhead or the chaos of live broadcasting. But soon, the real noise faded, replaced by the raw journeys each speaker shared. Diana, whose new speculative fiction book “They Could Be Saviors” forms the basis for the meeting, spoke openly about her darkest moments and how underground psychedelic therapy gave her back not only her will to live but a sense of deep connection. “I was very fortunate to find an underground psychedelic-assisted therapist who I believe saved my life through psychedelics. I found spirituality and tools that kept me alive, like meditation,” Diana revealed.Walt drew out the bigger questions: “Do you see billionaire-ism as a mental illness to be treated? How do you change the story that society tells about money, wealth, and success?” Diana’s answer was bold and vulnerable: “I want to change the narrative. Right now, society looks at billionaires as successful. I want to change that to it’s a mental illness that can be cured with psychedelic therapy, billionaire hoarding is affecting all of us and the planet.”JodieLynn brought warmth and practical wisdom, challenging attendees to reconsider the real power of money. “Money is just a piece of paper; it’s backed by belief. We put billionaires on a pedestal, but having money isn’t an absolute guarantee of happiness or wholeness.” Her coaching is grounded in abundance, but also in personal responsibility a theme echoed by Diana: “I am responsible for my entire story, even the parts I didn’t write the only person responsible for how I move forward is me.”The conversation cracked open our collective scarcity mindset, confronting beliefs inherited from centuries of competition and hierarchy. “We live in an abundant world,” JodieLynn reminded everyone, urging us to shift from scarcity to connection and contribution.As the episode closed, there was a sense of hope - a belief in the ripple effect of healing, vulnerability, and authenticity shared. Diana’s offer to join book clubs and respond to reader emails underscored the desire for true human connection. Walt’s gratitude summarized it all: “On behalf of those you’ve never met but have helped, thank you. You’re making a difference.”LOA Today Episode Page: https://www.loatoday.net/diana-colleenDiana Colleen's Website: https://www.dianacolleenauthor.com/Follow the LOA Today podcast: https://www.loatoday.net/follow#lawofattraction#manifesting#vibration#podcast#deliberatecreators#Q&A#waltthiessen#jodielynncraven#loatodayapp#YourDailyDoseOfHappy#HealingJourney #AbundanceMindset #PsychedelicTherapy #ConnectionMatters #SocietalChange #AuthorSpotlight #PersonalGrowth #WealthRedefined #HopeInAction

  Have you ever found yourself asking, “What am I even doing here?” It’s a question that came up in a recent deep-dive conversation between Walt and Joel, one that echoed not just in their stories, but in the hearts of anyone who’s worked a job they didn’t love or lost their passion along the way.Walt opened the discussion by sharing greetings and reflections, setting the stage for what unfolded: a frank and thoughtful exploration of what it means to pay attention in a world overflowing with distractions, expectations, and, sometimes, jobs that “tear you apart.”Joel, drawing on his experience as a life coach, challenged the standard narrative of ADHD and distraction. “I don’t have a deficit of attention. I have an abundance. My problem is, where does it go?” he reflected, highlighting how society’s labels often misplace the root of struggle. “Who decides what the right thing is?” Walt pressed, probing deeper into how we judge ourselves and how others judge us for what we focus on.The conversation moved like a river, sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent. They shared stories of people stuck in lucrative but unfulfilling careers. Joel recounted a client working 6.5 days a week in a data center job he hated, staying only for the paycheck, and mapping out small steps to reclaim his passion for education. Walt mirrored these struggles with stories from his IT days: “I didn’t really love it. It was as if my soul was being ripped apart. But I stayed for the money.”Personal stories drove home a universal truth: too often, we find ourselves chasing security at the expense of happiness, passion, and even health. “Is your happiness more important or the financials?” Joel asked. The answer isn’t always simple, but the process is: Break it down into steps. Take micro-actions. Try new things, even for a single day or hour, to discover what excites you.Walt found new passion in artificial intelligence, a field he’d ignored for years—proving that sometimes, a change of perspective is all it takes to ignite curiosity again. Joel described how step-by-step action plans, especially for those with ADHD, can build confidence and momentum. “When you condition the brain to say, ‘I got this done’, instead of ‘I can’t do anything right’, that’s when everything starts to shift,” he advised.The conversation ended on a life-affirming note: the importance of reframing work, passion, even challenges, as opportunities for meaning and self-discovery. “Your perspective dictates your reality,” Joel repeated. Walt agreed, reminding listeners that black-and-white thinking keeps us stuck, but small steps into the “gray” can make mountains feel moveable.This wasn’t just talk, it was a roadmap for anyone searching for purpose, battling distraction, or craving more meaning in their daily grind. The invitation is simple: ask yourself the big questions, take baby steps, and never underestimate the power of a changed mindset.LOA Today Episode Page: https://www.loatoday.net/pronoiaFollow the LOA Today podcast:  https://www.loatoday.net/follow#loatoday#lawofattraction#manifesting#vibration#podcast#deliberatecreators#Q&A#waltthiessen#joelelston#Purpose #FindYourPassion #Focus #PersonalGrowth #MindsetMatters #WorkHappiness #ADHD #CareerChange #StepByStep #LifeCoaching
