LightSong School of 21st-Century Shamanism and Energy Medicine Talking Stick Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Talking Stick Podcast — "Right Brain, Left Brain, and the Ego: Becoming Whole-Brained Humans" – 11-15-25

In this thought-provoking episode of the Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah "MJ" Schwader explore the balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain—and how this balance influences creativity, intuition, and spiritual connection.

The episode opens with a beautiful invocation from Jan, guiding listeners to rise above the densities of worry, frustration, and doubt into the realms of pure light, love, and truth. From there, Jan and Micah discuss the wisdom of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, whose groundbreaking insights on brain hemispheres validate what shamanic teachings have long known: energy work isn't "woo-woo"—it's whole-brain living.

Highlights include:

• How modern culture's left-brain dominance limits our spiritual and creative potential.
• The relationship between the ego and the left brain, and how ego stories keep us in fear.
• Ways to reawaken the right brain through shamanic journeying, writing, art, and presence.
• The link between heart consciousness and right-brain awareness.
• Why imagination, intuition, and emotion are not illusions—but vital spiritual faculties.
• Reflections on psychedelics, plant medicine, and alternative paths to expanded awareness.
• Practical ways to live as a whole-brained human, integrating logic with intuition, and self with spirit.

Jan and Micah remind us that wholeness begins with awareness—that our natural state is one of presence, gratitude, and connection to the living field of creation.

S2 E37 Manifesting Miracles: Surrender, Healing, and the Quantum Power of Belief

✨ Podcast Summary / Description:

In this expansive and deeply inspiring episode of Manifesting Miracles, Jan facilitates a full circle of transformation — beginning with a grounding invocation and evolving into a rich discussion on surrender, spiritual healing, manifestation, and shamanic wisdom. Through real-life stories of miracles, Jan and the participants explore how surrender, trust, and energetic alignment open the gateway for Spirit to work through our lives.

Listeners hear powerful personal accounts — from licenses miraculously renewed, to trees moved by unseen forces, to lost wedding rings returned through divine timing — all illustrating how miracles manifest when we let go of control and align with love. Jan expands the conversation into profound teachings on shamanic healing, the unraveling of energetic patterns across lifetimes, and the laws that govern transformation in the quantum field.

Through every question and story, Jan reminds us that what we focus on multiplies. By choosing trust over fear, gratitude over worry, and curiosity over judgment, we step into co-creation with Spirit — becoming conscious participants in the miraculous unfolding of life itself.

🔹 Topics Covered:

• Opening invocation and breathwork to ground and connect with Spirit
• The power of surrender and trust in manifesting miracles
• Personal miracle stories shared by participants:
• Carmen's healing and upgraded spiritual license
• Rosemary's tree miraculously moved by unseen forces
• Patty's lost wedding ring returned through angelic guidance
• The quantum principles of manifestation — high frequency collapses time
• Energetic repatterning, healing ancestral trauma, and parallel realities
• Shamanic perspective on Newton's first law and energetic unraveling
• Understanding illness and emotional blocks through soul retrieval
• Healing anger, grief, and "blind spots" through shamanic and energetic insight
• Acceptance vs. striving — finding wholeness in the present moment
• Soul retrieval as an ancient path to reclaiming power and wholeness
• How thought, belief, and vibration create our reality
• Practicing gratitude, curiosity, and sacred choice to shift frequency
• "Whatever you add energy to multiplies" — the law of creation

S1 E30 - Manifestation from the Heart: Becoming a Magnet for Soul-Aligned Reality - Manifesting Miracles 

Host: Jan Engels-Smith

In this powerful episode of the Manifesting Miracles, shamanic healer and spiritual teacher Jan Engels-Smith guides you into the energetics of true manifestation—not from the mind's agenda, but from the deeper, resonant wisdom of the heart and soul.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Heart-Centered Manifestation: Learn why intention alone is not enough—it's the frequency you hold that shapes your reality.

• Your Soul as a Magnet: Shift your internal vibration and naturally attract experiences that match your essence.

• Reverence, Worthiness & Receiving: Understand why manifestation requires self-trust, inner alignment, and becoming the person who can receive what you're calling in.

• Clearing the Field: Explore how limiting beliefs, unhealed trauma, and outdated stories block your ability to manifest—and how to clear them.

• The Process of Becoming: Move from "How do I get what I want?" to "Who am I becoming to align with this reality?"

Real-Life Examples Include:

• Reframing job manifestation as an embodiment of purpose and confidence

• Attracting divine partnership through inner mirroring

• Dissolving old patterns of overgiving and self-doubt

This episode supports listeners in becoming a quantum version of themselves, aligned with their highest truth—not through striving, but through resonant transformation.

Manifesting Miracles is a bi-monthly gathering on Zoom that brings together participants from around the world who are committed to creating positive change in their lives—whether in careers, relationships, health, or finances.

Each session begins with Jan sharing the most essential teachings on conscious manifestation. Her core message: If you want the world to change—or your circumstances to change—you must first change within. You must become an energetic match for what you desire.

Drawing from over 30 years of teaching experience, Jan offers her wisdom in intentional manifestation and shamanism. Every gathering is interactive, with Jan teaching, guiding discussions, and answering participant questions.
