Discover how to build a "cathedral of space" within your consciousness, shift from fear to fluidity, and reclaim your role as the director (not just the observer) of your life’s "big movie."

Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Mindful You Podcast with your host, Alan Carroll. In today’s conversation, Alan takes us on a fascinating journey through the landscapes of consciousness, exploring the intriguing relationship between mindfulness and dreams. He dives deep into the mechanics of our nighttime dreams, lucid dreaming, and how these dream states can transform our daytime behaviors and help us overcome fears.

But the reflection doesn’t stop there. Alan expands the discussion to include the “daydream” of our waking life, showing us how automatic patterns and habitual thoughts shape our experience. He introduces the idea of “space”, the empty, yet full, can of transformation as an essential ingredient for mindful living, powerful communication, and genuine self-awareness. Drawing on personal stories, ancient wisdom, and even a magical encounter with a talking koi fish, Alan invites listeners to become more present, to pause, and to create space for growth, creativity, and love.

Tune in to discover practical mindfulness tools, the art of conscious speaking, and a fresh perspective on what it really means to “be here now.” Whether you’re looking to enhance your day-to-day awareness or simply want to communicate more fluidly and authentically, this episode offers inspiration and actionable advice for your mindful journey.

Ever feel like your own mind is working against you? In this eye-opening episode of Mindful You, Alan explores the ego—not as some abstract concept, but as the invisible force shaping your reactions, beliefs, and even your sense of self. Blending insights from psychology and spirituality, Alan reveals how the ego builds walls out of our complaints, judgments, and stories—and why our brilliant minds often end up trapped inside them.

But here’s the good news: freedom is possible. Alan shares simple yet powerful tools—like the pause, conscious breathing, and the STOP method—to help you step out of autopilot and into the spaciousness of the present moment. You’ll learn how to:

✔ Recognize when the ego is running the show

✔ Create stillness amid life’s chaos

✔ Shift from "thinking" to simply being

If you’re tired of overanalyzing, reacting unconsciously, or feeling stuck in your own mental loops, this episode is your guide to a calmer, more compassionate way of living. Tune in and discover how one breath—one pause—can open the door to true presence.

Returning guest Jeanne Vessard, an intuitive healer and author, discusses insights on the power of personal decision-making, emphasizing that we can choose to rise above external influences and align with our true selves. We explored the duality of human nature, and how faith in our spiritual side can lead to transformation. Meditation, positive thoughts, and connecting with our higher selves were highlighted as keys to spiritual growth. Don't miss this enlightening episode filled with practical wisdom and transformative experiences. Tune in now!

About our Guest:

Jeanne Vessard was a psychologist and a program manager for many programs that served children with special needs. When she began to meditate on a regular basis at 30 years old and also practice mindfulness many new experiences opened for her. She became aware of a deeper reality within her own being and she also had many higher dimensional experiences. She realized she was connected to many higher dimensional beings. She became aware of many resources from beyond this 3rd dimension world.

She had personal experiences with some of the soul groups and her own light group from a high dimension. Those in that light group made many contacts with her over her life. Some of those beings came in groups and others made individual contacts. She was often aware when she saw them that she loved and missed them.

Her first remembered experiences were at 7 years old when she and a younger sister saw and interacted with brilliant light beings from higher dimensions for a few nights. Later as an adult many of those beings made contact with her. The most contacts were made by the ancient mentor of that light group. She was given energy and healings by that ancient mentor and he also assisted her in creative activities by sometimes showing her scenes from higher dimensions that put her in new phrases of creativity.

She often expressed some of those experiences in painting. She recorded many of those experiences over the decades and wrote about them in the book “Visions of a Star Traveler.” by J.M.Vessard available on Amazon and in many other places. There is also another book that will be published in the near future.

Together, Alan and Bob explore the profound insights gained from practices such as Daoism and Buddhism, discussing how these ancient traditions align seamlessly with Christian principles. Bob shares his spiritual journey, which included personal upheavals and a rediscovery of faith, culminating in his book, "I am the way," a blend of Daoist and Christian teachings.

Listeners will be captivated by Bob's dedication to helping others through mindfulness, including his innovative meditation courses designed for at-risk youth and corporate CEOs. We also dive into the significance of observing thoughts and emotions, tapping into Carl Jung’s studies on the I Ching, and the wisdom imparted by meditation mentors like Master Ni.

So, tune in for an episode filled with profound wisdom, practical mindfulness techniques, and heartwarming stories that showcase the transformative power of inner work.

But rather than just sharing an intriguing story, Bob provided actionable insights that can transform our approach to mindfulness and spiritual wellbeing. Here are my top three takeaways:

🔹 Integration of Intuition and Logic: The I Ching, extensively studied by Carl Jung, engages both the intuitive and logical sides of the brain. It helps users connect with their intuition by keeping the logical brain occupied with calculations, paving the way for deeper self-awareness.

🔹 The Power of Observing Thoughts: By practicing stillness and observing our thoughts, we can experience "waking up" moments as described in Buddhist teachings. This conscious observation helps us separate our identity from our thoughts, leading to a more balanced and peaceful mind.

🔹 Blending Spiritual Traditions: Bob's unique journey inspired him to create "I am the way," a book that merges Daoist and Christian teachings, demonstrating the profound similarities between these philosophies. His work not only reconnects readers to the divine but also fosters an inclusive approach to spirituality.

Resources Mentioned:

I AM THE WAY: This book explores interfaith spiritual harmony creating a bridge between Eastern and Christian wisdom, expressing the chapters of the Tao Te Ching in Biblical language, forming a devotional.

🔹 Meditation as a Path to Clarity and Higher Consciousness: Blair introduced an innovative approach to meditation called "higher consciousness meditation."
