Quantum Conversations: With Karen Curry Parker

According to noted scientist and bestselling author of The Conscious Universe, Dean Radin, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power with diligent practice. But wait, aren't things like ESP and telepathy just wishful thinking and flights of the imagination? Not according to the author, who worked on the US government's top secret psychic espionage program known as Stargate. Radin has spent the last forty years conducting controlled experiments that demonstrate that thoughts are things, that we can sense others' emotions and intentions from a distance, that intuition is more powerful than we thought, and that we can tap into the power of intention (think The Secret, only on a more realistic and scientific level). These dormant powers can help us to lead more interesting and fulfilling lives. The history of science is rooted in the traditions of magic. Science emerged as a way of understanding the mystery of magic. But science, as a stand alone body of knowledge is incomplete

The wisdom of the Mahavidyas, the ten wisdom goddesses who represent the interconnected darkness and light within all of us, has been steeped in esoteric and mystical descriptions that made them seem irrelevant to ordinary life. The power to heal ourselves lies in our power to understand the story of what is happening to us.Our brains are hard-wired to learn from stories. Young children learn about wisdom and values on the laps of their parents and grandparents in the form of stories and fairy tales. The right hemisphere of the brain is designed to learn from the emotional and sensual essence of stories and the archetypes of the heroes in the tales. We can use the power of archetypes, such as the Mahavidyas and their stories to heal ourselves and see the importance of what our life journey holds for us. In her book, Shakti Rising: Embracing Shadow and Light on the Goddess Path to Wholeness , Kavitha Chinnaiyan, a respected cardiologist who found herself on a spiritual search for the highest truth, shares with

We often make the process of life kind of complicated. Even the teachings of many personal growth and human potential teachers is complex. We have to visualize, hold specific frequencies of energy, think positive - never waiver in our striving to live an evolved life… But what if the path of living a good life is a simple process of untangling the mind and simply being present to the nature of the heart of who we truly are. If Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, and the Divine Mother were to meet in conversation, what would each think of the other's spiritual points of views? In Maresha Donna Ducharme's book, The Way Home to Love: A Guide to Peace in Turbulent Times, she distills down primary teachings from many ancient and modern religions into a simple manifesto outlining how we can return to the heart of our true essence. In this episode of Quantum Conversations, Maresha shares with us how the heart essence - that core inner place of alignment with the true nature of the universe - holds the key to changing

People often lean towards either trusting their gut or relying on their analytical mind. But what if the powerful synthesis of your experience, soul and personality integrated - wisdom gives you deeper, more aligned insights and practical solutions to the choices you need to make in your life? What if you know how to connect to deeper, more fundamental way than you realize? We sometimes forget that we are passengers in this Earth experience. Your soul is simply occupying your life right now - a temporary experience designed with a purpose set in place by your soul. When we rely on the human experience to give us our insights and to help us make decisions in our life, we are reacting to our temporary status instead of pulling from the timeless wisdom of our infinite selves. According to Ellen Tadd, author of The Infinite View, A Guidebook for Life on Earth, Spirit is the God Force that animates and empowers us and suffuses everyone and everything. But while Spirit is conscious and communicative, we haven’t bee

Sometimes we believe pain is necessary to heal. We often don’t have the faith to believe miracles can happen in the blink of an eye. Modern science shows us that there is well….a science…behind creating miracles. We are learning that healing, true healing, isn’t just about treating symptoms. To truly heal we have the change the template, the energy blueprint of what’s going on in our perception of the world. Science also shows that we carry, in our energy blueprint, the vibrational artifact of old pains, traumas and conditioning from experiences that happened to us over the course of the journey of our lives. Not only that, your DNA is influenced by events that happened to your family, sometimes even generations before you were born. These vibrational disruptions in our natural state of well-being are the root cause of pain, disease and suffering. We can treat the pain and the symptoms and feel better, but if we’re going to really heal, we have to also get to the root cause of pain and clear the disruption th

When all else fails, or when we feel powerless, we are taught to get on our knees and pray. It has become common place to say to each other, in times of need, that we are sending each other “Love and Light.” But does sending “Love and Light” or prayer actually work? In a cynical, material world, we often scoff at the seemingly powerless act of prayer. We think the only way to change things - to make things better - is to do the physical work of the world. And that sending prayers is a way to opt out of doing the real work of change. But what if there’s more to making the world a better place than moving the proverbial “mud”? What if prayer is more powerful than we realize? According to Lynne McTaggart, prayer, when done correctly, actually heals, changes lives, supports, nurtures and transforms people… When individuals in a group focus their intention together on a single target, a powerful collective dynamic emerges that can heal long-standing conditions, mend fractured relationships, reduce violence, and ev

There is an intricate web of energy binding us all together under the same sky, unifying us beyond the perceived separateness of our personal human experiences. All of our hearts are beating as One…. Many people think this sounds like wishful thinking. But scientists are now learning is that this statement, is indeed, true.  The heart actually acts as a separate “brain” if you will.  Most of us learned in school that the function of the heart is to pulse and push oxygenated blood through the body via the circulatory system.  But the brain is so much more than that. Scientists now know that the heart possesses its own intrinsic nervous system—a network of nerves so functionally sophisticated as to earn the description of  “heart brain.” Containing over 40,000 neurons, this “little brain” gives the heart the ability to independently sense, process information, make decisions, and even to demonstrate a type of learning and memory. In essence, it appears that the heart is truly an intelligent system. Research als

Quantum physics, was first defined as a body of knowledge in the 1920’s. Not coincidentally, the New Thought and theosophy movement, which includes the work of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, Madame Blavatsky, Ernest Holmes, Rudolph Steiner and even Napoleon Hill emerged around that same time. If our outer world is a manifestation of our consciousness, then it makes sense that as we evolved, our understandings were reflected in the birth of Quantum Physics and the New Thought movement. If we thought we were evolving quickly in the 1920’s, think of the depth and speed at which our consciousness is evolving right now! John Burgos, the creator of the Beyond the Ordinary Show has had a front row seat to this evolutionary journey we are on. Over the last five years John has hosted Lightworkers, Spiritual Teachers and leading-edge Global Change Agents on his show, bearing witness to powerful new teachings, the initiation of new healing codes and frequencies and learning from some of the world’s top spiritual leaders.

If you’ve been on a path of spiritual evolution for any period of time, you’ve probably run across stories about people who have the ability to transcend our material experience and do supernatural things, like manifest an apple out of thin air, levitate or be able to press their hand through hard rock with the greatest of ease. Usually it’s a highly ascended master of some sort, like Jesus, who walked on water, for example, or a highly trained yogi who has spent years meditating in a cave in Tibet. But ordinary, every day people can also transcend the expectations of our physical form and the limitations of our “reasonable” knowledge. There are people who defy the odds and heal themselves from cancer and other terrible diseases, people who are able to change the nature of their lives and transform themselves quickly in renewed abundant ways. What if achieving the supernatural isn’t necessarily about mastering some difficult spiritual mindset - I mean who can really afford to spend 20 years in a cave - but ra

The brain and the body don’t always know the difference between a real event and a memory. When we experience trauma and pain, we can store it in the body and sometimes re-experience it over and over again, paralyzing us and holding us back from fully embracing the joy and love that life can offer us. We are often imprinted by these traumas. Not because we’re broken or dysfunctional but because we are programmed for survival. These traumatic imprints serve to protect us, keep us aware and on our toes, preparing to defend ourselves should we re-expereince these traumas in our lives again. We think that we need to heal our minds. Just change our thinking about events, or even try to not think about traumatic events or losses again. But the imprint in our body overrides our minds and even the most intense attempt at mind mastery sometimes can’t change the impact of the imprint of events on our body. These imprints can keep us in a constant state of low grade stress and stimulate our adrenals causing us eventuall

Since the beginning of humanity, we have looked to the stars for answers. Gifted people can read the stars and help us understand the themes playing out in our own evolution. The stars do not forecast the future, but they carry the themes that help us choose which direction we will take ourselves. This isn’t sorcery. Scientific evidence suggests that our physiology is impacted deeply by celestial movement. When I worked as a midwife, it was common knowledge that full moon energy would bring more babies. Many physicians, nurses and emergency medical technicians, people who aren’t often prone to superstitious beliefs, will swear that the full moon energy brings more intense cases and even a heavier patient load. Many modern astrologers hypothesize that a code for the evolution of humanity is written in the stars and that the energy humanity is wrestling with is part of a bigger scheme, a Universal plan assisting us in creating a new world, a world that will be eventually rooted in the themes of sustainability a

It’s interesting and a little bit ironic that, in spite of our enlightened awareness of the power of love and compassion, we still can struggle mightily in our personal relationships. In my years as working as a psychic medium, one of the most common and often most charged questions people would ask me was, “Is the person I’m dating my soulmate?” Soulmate. What a super charged word. We say the word soulmate and we have fantasies of the perfect relationship with the partner who is our mirror twin, someone who never says “no” to us, never challenges us and gives us a totally perfect union. No fighting. No power struggles. No leaving towels on the floor. It’s interesting that many of us embrace the idea that we need struggle as part of our soul path. Struggle helps us discover what’s truly valuable in life and the depths of our capability and power. But when we struggle in our relationships, we very easily slip into the old pattern of blaming our partner. She’s not “the one”. He’s not my soul mate…. He’s not on

Please join me for this powerful Quantum Conversation with PMH Atwater.  There’s more to life than our day to day existence. We are the infinite parts of an evolving intelligence seeking to express itself through us. Jewish tradition teaches that babies in the womb are all knowing. They know the history and the story of the Universe. Just before they are born, an angel thumps them on the top of their lips making a tiny dent and causing them to forget all that they know. It is the process of living our lives that help us remember who we truly are. Our life is a spiral outward, expressing, experiencing, being that causes us to slowly, sometimes very slowly, remember all that we knew before we were born. People who have journeyed to the edge of life often come back with stories that help us deepen our understanding of who we really are and why we are really here. Sometimes it takes a cataclysmic separation from our human condition to bring us literally and figuratively back to the light. We don’t need to die to

We know we are powerful beyond what we realize and yet, we struggle to fulfill our potential. Many of us use this struggle to reinforce self-defeating patterns, old thoughts and beliefs that keep us from tapping into the truth of who we are. We are all part of an infinite super-intelligent mind that has the capacity to create in ways we maybe can’t even imagine. But our brains - that place where we think our true mind is stored - are actually just organs, no different from kidneys, hearts, lungs and even skin…. The brain is part of the body and, like the muscles you try to work out at the gym, the brain can be trained and conditioned, strengthened and used as a master organ to create vitality, longevity and joy. It takes self-mastery and a willingness to crack open the door to your perceived limitations to begin to use your brain better than you’re using it now. Research shows that you don’t have to be stuck in old stories, limitations and pain any more. The brain and the body remembers and the memories keep

We are innately powerful. Deep within us all lives a fire, a light that is uniquely our own, that longs to shine out into the world. But sometimes life gets in the way of our light. We are deeply conditioned to surrender our light, to fall into place and do the things we think we have to do to fit in, fulfill our obligations, take our adult place in the world… When we give up our fire, it doesn’t go away. It certainly can feel like it’s gone out. In reality the embers still glow, waiting for us to rekindle our inner light… We feel it as discomfort, depression, even physical pain - all signals that our soul sends us to remind us to tend to our inner fire. Sometimes we feel like we’re drowning in a life we didn’t choose, that the circumstances of our obligations take over and we have no choice but to compromise and give in… The warrior within us reminds us of our power. We have to power to disassemble a life that is out of alignment. We have the power to burn away all that no longer serves us and we have within

Edgar Cayce has long been the gold standard of intuitive insights and prophesies. The “Sleeping Prophet” as he was called was able to channel messages and deep spiritual insights that healed people on many, many levels. Cayce left behind a tremendous archive of transcripts and recordings of his private sessions with clients. Through a set of divinely orchestrated event, Dr. Mark Thurston was given the job of organizing and understanding this massive archive of material, giving us the gift of the synthesis of Edgar Cayce’s work as well as his own insights to help us ground Cayce’s insights in our modern world understanding. I find it fascinating that so much of Cayce’s work was devoted to helping people discover their life purpose and that we are still intrigued by the questions of who we are and why we are here. In many of our Quantum Conversations we talk to spiritual teachers and leaders who have created systems to help others discover who they are and why they are here. Dr. Thurston and Edgar Cayce and sha

We think we need to “fight” for peace. We take our anger and push against others who hold different views, different perspectives…we use the language of anti-this or that….we use the word resist and we spend our energy gathering ourselves against others. There is a delicate balance between resistance, fighting for what’s right and using our energy to be fundamentally creative in order to create a true new world order… a new world order where compassion and unity rules. The shift we are experiencing on the planet right now is creating in us deeply polarized perspectives and it’s easy to fall into a mindset of right and wrong, black and white, masculine and feminine…. But what we’ve learned from the past is that anytime we create “othering” of each other, we are at risk of de-humanizing each other. And history has shown us again and again that when we dehumanize a set of people, it becomes too easy to justify marginalizing them or, even worse, hurting them or attempting to wipe them from the face of the planet.

We often operate on the assumption that humans are all the same. We have similar drives, desires and temperament. It’s almost like there’s some kind of earthly blueprint for being human and any variation that we experience away from this blueprint makes us wrong, bad or less than. Many of you may have had this experience. We are raised in families that either feel comfortable to us or families that we struggle to fit in to. I’m not talking about love here. I’m talking about feeling like you belong or fit or are even SIMILAR to the people you grow up with. The truth is, after coaching people for more than 28 years, most people feel like they don’t fit in or that there is something wrong with them. Most people feel like they don’t quite fit in… Ancient wisdom has taught us for centuries that life is comprised of different energies embodied in the elements fire, earth, water, wood and metal and that these elements have different qualities and characteristics. The five elements originated in ancient Chinese medic

Please join me for this powerful Quantum Conversation with Daniel Mitel.  Daniel invites us to literally take a journey into our hearts.  We can’t live in our hearts if we are not in the heart of who we are. I followed Daniels heart imagery meditation from his book, Journeys into the Heart, and saw myself standing in my physical heart.  As I felt the pink, pulsing walls around me, I was blown away by the love available in my own heart.  Just one little visual journey into my heart and my entire perspective on the world changed. Just one little visual journey into my heart and I had a powerful touchstone experience of what it feels like to be in my heart. The love that resides in our hearts is our most creative energy.  It’s also the energy that connects us to each other.  You can not be in your heart and feel the rich, unconditional nature of true love without experiencing tremendous compassion for your divine brothers and sisters. If the magnetic field of the earth synchronizes and connects us through the be

Your ability to make decisions is the most vital skill you have.  You are the sum total of all the decisions you’ve made in your life.   The fear of making a wrong decision and worry about the outcome can make it hard for us to be present to the blessings of our daily life.  We worry.  We’re distracted and we actually shut off our creative capacity and stay in a constant state of low-grade fight or flight.   There is a flow of creativity and resiliency available to us if we can learn to navigate our way through uncertainty and trust ourselves.    But, first, you have to know who you are and how to make choices in the way that’s right for you.   Anne Tucker teaches us that there are seven “soul types” and that each “soul type” has different desires, different goals and a different way of making decisions.  When you live true to your “soul type” you access your flow and making decisions become easier and more aligned with what you truly want for you life.   Please join me for this week’s Quantum Conversation wi
