    Tarot Isn't Fortune-Telling — It's a Mirror for Your Soul | with Karina La Puma [Video]

    In this episode, Harmony sits down with Karina for a conversation about the wisdom that's been inside us all along. Karina explains why she never uses tarot to predict the future — instead, she reads the cards as mirrors for the archetypal patterns already shaping our lives. They talk about magnetic creation, the eight-year fear block that kept her new book on a shelf, and the Terma ritual she teaches for manifesting from alignment instead of force. Along the way, Karina does a live tarot reading on air, and the conversation turns to AI, synchronicity, and what it really means to trust your own inner guidance. Guest: Karina La Puma is an author, intuitive guide, Reiki master, and Western astrologer (practicing since 1979). She's the creator of “A Toolkit for Awakening,” an eleven-book series weaving together tarot, astrology, mythology, psychology, and the hero's journey, and the designer of her own digital tarot deck. Her newest book, Awaken Magnetic Creation: Manifesting Your Dreams, is out now. In This Episode Why the wisdom we're seeking isn't out there somewhere — it's already inside us Karina's Sicilian and Calabrese roots, and her family's restaurant-and-bar life in small-town Pennsylvania How curiosity about astrology and tarot in her twenties turned into eleven books Inside “A Toolkit for Awakening” and the tarot deck that took 30 years to finish Karina's daily three-card ritual — body, mind, and emotions What “magnetic creation” means, and how it's different from ordinary manifestation (20:51) The eight-year fear block that delayed her own book — and the broken ankle that finally stopped her in her tracks AI as a creative co-creator: where it helps, and where Karina draws the line A live, on-air tarot reading for a listener facing a creative crossroads The Terma method: a ritual for burying the past, the future, and the present to manifest from essence, not form Archetypes, synchronicity, and what happens when the veil between inner and outer life gets thin Links & Resources Karina's book: Awaken Magnetic Creation: Manifesting Your Dreams Free gifts (Cosmic Codes + 10 Transformational Steps for Flow and Fulfillment): soul-source.org or klapuma.com Follow the show: @findingharmonypodcast Follow Harmony: @harmonyslaterofficial Curious about Harmony's November retreat on the west coast of Canada?

    How to Prepare for Death: A Buddhist Scholar on the Bardo | with Dr. John Campbell [video]

    What if the whole point of your yoga practice was to prepare you to die well? In one of our favorite conversations of the year, Dr. John Campbell joins Harmony Slater and Russell Case for a third time — and goes somewhere we’ve never gone on the show. John is one of the few Westerners certified to teach Ashtanga by the Mysore lineage, finished the Fourth Series, and holds a PhD in Religion from Columbia. He co-founded the Contemplative Sciences Center at UVA and translates Sanskrit and Tibetan tantric texts with Prof. Robert Thurman. Today he teaches Vajra Yoga at Tibet House US in New York. Together they explore the Bardo — the Tibetan “in-between” of dying and rebirth — and how the same dissolution can be glimpsed through psychedelics, deep meditation, and moments of love or terror. Russell shares what an ayahuasca journey revealed about a lifelong fear of death; John recounts a 24-hour ceremony and the integration that mattered more than the medicine; and Harmony reframes asana as the building of a “diamond body” — a vessel strong enough to hold the energy that practice unlocks. They sit with hard, beautiful questions: Why would an enlightened being choose to be reborn? What is the “clear light mind”? Can you really care for someone without carrying them? And is a strong backbend the goal of yoga — or just the prerequisite? This is philosophy, dark humor, lineage, and tenderness in one sitting. Please note: this episode discusses psychedelics, addiction, and death, and is offered for educational and contemplative purposes only — not as medical advice or an endorsement of substance use.

    Diagnosed With Cancer Twice before 21: How One Woman Healed from the Inside Out [VIDEO]

    What does it take to truly heal — not just treat symptoms, but address the whole of who we are? In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and co-host Russell Case sit down with Gena Bradshaw Vitale, a two-time cancer survivor, author, speaker, and founder of Holistic Human Performance. Diagnosed with leukemia as a young child and again facing a cancer scare as a young adult, Gena's journey led her from a conventional exercise-science background into the world of energy medicine, nervous-system regulation, and what she calls the integration piece — the missing link between knowing about wellness and actually living it. She shares the moment her intuition told her to seek a second surgical opinion, the message she received in her car that she'd “write a book one day,” and how she now guides high-achievers and “perfectionists in remission” out of survival mode. Harmony connects Gena's work to her own spinal energetics and elemental embodiment practice, and the three explore the bridge between science and spirituality, the body keeping the score, ancestral patterns, and the profound identity shift of becoming a mother. In this conversation: Why Gena believes science and spirituality are “two sides of the same coin” The five “buckets” of holistic health — mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and the one we forget: energetic How trauma and “survival mode” can quietly shape the body and health Trusting intuition when choosing care — and the second-opinion that changed everything Why health and purpose are directly correlated Motherhood as ego death, rebirth, and a doorway to deeper intuitive gifts The Inner Rejuvenation Codes: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/inner-rejuvenation-codes-mc Join the Lightworker Mastermind:  https://harmonyslater.com/lightworker-mastermind FIND Harmony online: https://harmonyslater.com/ Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/ Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/ FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation

    How Hypnotherapy Helped Me Heal When Doctors Couldn’t | with Peter McLaughlin [VIDEO]

    What if the diagnosis meant to end your life became the very thing that taught you how to live? In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Peter McLaughlin, a certified hypnotherapist, life coach, and founder of Blue Sky Hypnosis. After a rare leukemia diagnosis (alongside Lyme disease) in his 40s, Peter was told there was no known cause and no known cure. That moment sent him on a decades-long exploration of the relationship between the mind, the body, and the spirit — and eventually into training as a hypnotist. Today his Blue Sky Hypnosis YouTube channel has reached millions of viewers, with guided tracks spanning past-life regression, inner-child healing, sleep, and more. Together they explore why hypnosis and meditation may produce the same brain states — and what makes hypnotherapy different; how the subconscious mind has no sense of time, so old trauma registers as a present-moment threat; the “invisible arrows” model of carrying unresolved wounds; and how shifting your relationship to the past (from victim to creator) can change the body’s baseline. Peter also shares how his work draws on naturopathy, shamanic journeying, and a deepening Christian faith. Whether you’re curious about the science of the subconscious or looking for a new lens on what healing can look like, this conversation invites you to consider that the doorway to transformation may not be trying harder — but softening, and learning to access the wisdom that’s been within you all along. Content note: This episode includes personal healing claims and discussion of serious illness. It is shared as one person’s lived experience and is not medical advice. In this episode Why hypnosis and meditation can look identical on a brain scan — and the one thing that makes hypnotherapy different The two “wings” of hypnosis: stage entertainment vs. therapeutic work Peter’s story: a leukemia + Lyme diagnosis, a “spiritual two-by-four,” and the decision to heal himself How “The Secret,” synchronicity, and a naturopath shaped his path Why the subconscious mind has no sense of time — and why that matters for trauma The “invisible arrows” model: carrying old wounds in the body Western shamanism, inner-child work, and rescuing lost parts of the self Fight-or-flight vs. rest-and-digest — and resetting the nervous system’s baseline A live demo: how two short phrases shift your physiology in seconds Subliminal media, marketing, and “we’re being hypnotized all the time” From victim to creator: “What if the cloud is a mirror?” Guest bio Peter McLaughlin  is a certified hypnotherapist, life coach, and the founder of Blue Sky Hypnosis. After a leukemia diagnosis forced him to confront his own mortality, he immersed himself in the connection between mind, body, and spirit, ultimately training as a hypnotist with a focus on the medical and therapeutic applications of hypnosis. Over more than two decades he has helped thousands of people uncover and heal the root causes of emotional suffering through hypnotherapy, trauma resolution, regression work, and subconscious reprogramming.
