Discussion: UFOs, Past Lives, Hypnotherapy

Our guest tonight is UFO researcher, experiencer and Quantum Hypnotherapist Martin Rivera. This is a technique first developed by highly regarded author/researcher Dolores Cannon. Martin has been studying the subject of UFOs & ETs for many years. He uses the technique of Quantum Hypnotherapy to help experiencers remember and process their otherworldly encounters. He is certified in Quantum Healing Hypnosis and Past Lives at the Dolores Cannon Academy in Arkansas. He is a co-founder of “Quantum Balance,” a healing arts center with transformational programs based on Long Island, Ny.

He also does past life regression therapy (and sometimes a future life,) sound & light healing, emotional healing therapy, pineal gland activation, connecting with your higher self, meeting your spirit guides, accessing your Akashic Records and Reiki healing. Fluent in Spanish, he’s translated a number of books into Spanish, including Dolores Cannons “The Custodians,” and “Keepers of the Garden” and many others. He has worked with many people, authors and experiencers, aiding them in their journey of spiritual discovery.

As he says, “I help you to connect with your higher self for healing mind-body spirit.” Many people recall past lives reaching back to Atlantis or Lemuria, or even a past-life as an ET. Others recall ET encounters as young children. The possibilities are endless. And of course, Martin has had some astounding UFO experiences of his own. This is going to be so much fun.

Lee is the Host of Spaced Out Radio's "Element 115," Friday evenings from 8pm-9pm Pacific. Lee's fascination with the unknown was sparked in his childhood, growing up in Washington State. Camping and hiking trips with his parents instilled in him a love for the outdoors, while his grandfather, a chief engineer at Boeing, ignited his interest in UFOs with captivating slides of sightings near Washington D.C. Influenced by his father and grandfather's passion for photography, Lee developed a keen eye for capturing life's moments. However, it wasn't until he began experiencing waking dreams that he stumbled upon a new purpose. Seeking answers, Lee joined a Meetup group for abductees and began working with Dr. Janet Colli. This journey led him to SUFON (Seattle UFO Network), where he met Tom Sanger, who gifted him his first night vision camera. Lee's first UFO sighting, captured at Mt. Baker, lasted an astonishing 15 minutes and sparked an unrelenting drive to master camera technology and capture evidence of the unknown.

As a founding member of UFOITEAM, Lee's passion continued to grow. He later branched out to form "Ander and Lee on the Trail," where he pushes the boundaries of innovation, striving to uncover evidence of UFOs and Bigfoot.

Hypnotherapy to help experiencers remember and process their otherworldly encounters. He is certified in Quantum Healing Hypnosis and Past Lives at the Dolores Cannon Academy in Arkansas. He is a co-founder of "Quantum Balance," a healing arts center with transformational programs based on Long Island, Ny.

Tonight, The Light Gate welcomes KAren Swain, Experiencer, Spiritual Teacher, Mentor, Galactic Guide, radio/podcast host, author, inspirational speaker and must more. Karen's life mission is to help enlighten others to recognize the power of their thoughts and beliefs and to live in alignment with their emotional guidance systems. She's had a lifetime of extraterrestrial and paranormal experiences.

Writes KAren, "I've had access to exalted higher perspective all my life. Which meant I was always connected to guidance from my spiritual team. Something I didn't realize as a youngster, as I just called this my common sense. Sometimes I would listen, but most of the time I didn't, and did what I thought I wanted! Which ultimately lead me into much mischief and emotional turmoil. Something I have explored well in this life. I've been able to read people's energy fields, know their thoughts, vibrational stance and see their fears, or dreams unfolding. I know who you are, why you are here and what you fear. I am aware of your soul plan and can communicate with your spiritual guides.
"When I first started meditating in my early twenties, I would see a Big Eye staring back at me as I closed my eyes. It was visceral, in colour and as real as looking in a mirror. I was told this is the all-seeing all-knowing eye, (Third-Eye ®) which has access to broader perspective. I was being shown something about myself I didn't quite understand at the time."

Karen is the founder at Blissful Beings Reminders from Home, Creator at Awakened by Death: Stories of Transformation, ( a book she co-authored with Cyrus Kirkpatrick) and Founder at Sydney Peace Day Festival. She has a growing youtube channel: Awakening and Expanding Consciousness. She resides in Sydney, Australia.

Our guest tonight is UFO researcher, experiencer and Quantum Hypnotherapist Martin Rivera.

This is a technique first developed by highly regarded author/researcher Dolores Cannon. Martin has been studying the subject of UFOs & ETs for many years. He uses the technique of Quantum Hypnotherapy to help experiencers remember and process their otherworldly encounters. He is certified in Quantum Healing Hypnosis and Past Lives at the Dolores Cannon Academy in Arkansas.

He is a co-founder of "Quantum Balance," a healing arts center with transformational programs based on Long Island, Ny. He also does past life regression therapy (and sometimes a future life,) sound & light healing, emotional healing therapy, pineal gland activation, connecting with your higher self, meeting your spirit guides, accessing your Akashic Records and Reiki healing. Fluent in Spanish, he's translated a number of books into Spanish, including Dolores Cannons "The Custodians," and "Keepers of the Garden" and many others.

He has worked with many people, authors and experiencers, aiding them in their journey of spiritual discovery. As he says, "I help you to connect with your higher self for healing mind-body spirit." Many people recall past lives reaching back to Atlantis or Lemuria, or even a past-life as an ET. Others recall ET encounters as young children. The possibilities are endless. And of course, Martin has had some astounding UFO experiences of his own. This is going to be so much fun.

Tonight, the Light Gate welcomes experiencer and podcaster Joyce Aldrich. She has an amazing series of contacts with extraterrestrials.

Joyce was in Ottawa on Wednesday, July 27th, 1955, at 4:00 am, to Irene and Lucien Aldrich, Joyce was raised in a family with a strong theatrical background. She lived a gypsy life with her parents, attending 10 schools, and living in 17 residences in two provinces (Ontario and Quebec) and three cities, Hull, Ottawa, and Toronto, by the age of 17.

Her mother was an actress, singer, and producer. Her father was a commission salesman. They came to Toronto to make her mother's fortune. She eventually landed a 27-year gig (unheard of, nowadays) as 'Rockin' Irene' at Ye Olde Brunswick House, on Bloor...now a Rexall (blech!), but there's a brass plaque on that brick wall with her contribution on it, along with Etta James, Peter Appleyard, Gordon Lightfoot, Loretta Lynn, and others who played there. Her mother never wanted her to sing, but genes are genes, and being exposed to theatre and music her entire life, it was part of Joyce's DNA.

There have been some setbacks in her career, a lot of starts and stops, along the way. It's made her quirky, which is okey dokey, when you're an artist. She also paints, as well as doing the music thing. It's all part of the package, isn't it? Her stuff is on YouTube, and, if you like it, you can purchase it on iTunes.

She's had a litetime of amazing UFO/ET and paranormal encounters and many other incredible adventures. She is also the host of the Joyce Aldrich Show on CHHA 1610 AM, in Toronto, Sundays, from 7 - 9 pm, and many other platforms.

Such an honor and a wonderful opportunity to have Jehan Settaur on The Light Gate. Jehan Settaur is a Certified Hypnotherapist and former musician who helps you break free from subconscious self-sabotage.

With skills in additional healing modalities like CBT, NLP, Mindfulness, and Nutrition, he guides clients to heal deep emotional blocks and live with true authenticity. He's also the host of Boundless Authenticity, the podcast that dives into raw, unfiltered conversations about healing, consciousness, and the hidden truths mainstream culture avoids.

Also he has a facebook group, Boundless Authenticity Podcast, dedicated to sharing love, truth and wisdom on these subjects. He has a book “The Dreamchaser Workbook,” which you can download for free by visiting his facebook page.

His Youtube channel is amazing. He writes: “What if everything you've been told about healing, consciousness, and reality is only half the story? Boundless Authenticity is more than a podcast. It's a raw, unfiltered journey into the hidden truths the mainstream avoids. Each episode unlocks powerful insights from radical thinkers, spiritual pioneers, and fearless healers who challenge the status quo and awaken what's been dormant within you. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more beneath the surface, there is. And this is where you'll find it.”

One of his favorite quotes is: “Life is a great work of art and we don't realize that the reason we never see the full detail is because we are the medium used to create it.”

Tonight, The Light Gate is honored and delighted to welcome researcher and author, Linda C. Powell. Linda is an English writer with a decades-long interest in mid-20th century America. Since 2015 she has been a news editor for The Anomalist.

Her landmark book, “Against the Odds: Major Donald E Keyhoe and His Battle to End UFO Secrecy,” is the first biography of one of the most important figures in UFO history. In this book, Donald Keyhoe, his public and private life before and during his time as the world’s best-known UFO advocate is revealed. Linda not only profiles Keyhoe’s amazing and pioneering research, but reveals a behind-the-scenes look at UFO politics and how the US government has attempted to perpetrate a UFO coverup on the American people.

Leslie Kean calls the book “fascinating & inspiring.” Jeffrey Mishlove calls it, “The most well-researched book in the UFO field that I've ever seen.”

Linda lives near England's east coast and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. In this conversation we explore the early era of Donald Keyhoe's amazing entrance and research into the UFO field. It's a story that everyone interested in UFOs should know.
