    Are You Still Living by Childhood Decisions? | Lisa Aston Michael #45

    Why do some of us struggle to finish what we start, even when we really want to? In this unexpected solo episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa Aston Michael shares a surprising personal epiphany that connected a childhood experience with a lifelong pattern around self-doubt, failure, judgment and unfinished projects. The insight arrived while Lisa was half-awake, seemingly dropping into her awareness rather than being consciously worked out. It took her back to being around nine years old, riding her pony in a dressage test when her mind suddenly went completely blank. Could that seemingly insignificant childhood experience have helped shape the belief: “I don’t finish what I start”? Lisa explores the fascinating connection between subconscious patterns, intuition, personal transformation, spiritual awakening and the Higher Self, and asks whether these unexpected moments of clarity might be part of a deeper process of clearing and awakening. Could an epiphany be more than simply discovering something new? Perhaps we're sometimes just finally ready to see what has been there all along.  In this episode: Why we may abandon things when we're getting close to finishingHow childhood experiences can shape beliefs about ourselvesThe difference between an identity and a learned patternSubconscious processing and intuitive insightThe Higher Self and the “Observer”Could our Guides help us see what we're ready to clear?What “clearing” and “awakening” might actually meanMoving from self-judgment to curiosity#Intuition #SpiritualAwakening #PersonalTransformation #HigherSelf #SelfDiscovery #SubconsciousMind #InnerHealing #SpiritualJourney #EnlightenedConnections SOCIALS: www.lisaastonmichael.com FB: @lisaastonmichaelofficial https://www.facebook.com/groups/enlightenedconnectionspodcast  Insta: @lisaastonmichaelofficial Insta: @enlightenedconnectionspodcast At Enlightened Connections, I share trusted resources, tools, and products to support you and your animal companions.

    Are We Trying Too Hard? The Art of Becoming Receptive to Animal Communication | Lisa Aston Michael #44

    In this solo episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa Aston Michael explores a question many people ask when learning animal communication: Are we trying too hard? Sometimes the connection we're looking for may already be happening in subtle ways, but mental noise, expectations and the fear of being wrong can cause us to dismiss what we notice. Lisa shares her own journey into animal communication, including the unexpected experience with a Rainbow Lorikeet that first opened her awareness. She explores the many different ways intuitive information can be received; through images, feelings, sensations, words, memories or simply a sense of knowing. This episode is an invitation to slow down, become more present with your animals and get curious about those unexpected thoughts, feelings and moments of awareness. Perhaps animal communication doesn't always begin with an extraordinary experience. Perhaps it begins with simply noticing. In this episode: How mental noise can affect animal communicationWhy we often dismiss intuitive experiencesThe different ways information can be receivedWhat animals can teach us about presenceHow curiosity can help us move beyond doubtWhy the smallest moments of awareness may be the beginning of a deeper connection SOCIALS: www.lisaastonmichael.com FB: @lisaastonmichaelofficial Insta: @lisaastonmichaelofficial At Enlightened Connections, I share trusted resources, tools, and products to support you and your animal companions.

    The Hoof That Changed Everything: Holly & Lana’s Story | Holly Burns #43

    Holly Burns returns to Enlightened Connections for a deeply personal conversation about Lana (Lightning Lana), the horse she describes as her heart horse. We last spoke with Holly earlier this year about the physics of energy and conscious creation. This time, Holly shares the extraordinary journey she and Lana have taken together through pain, uncertainty, perseverance, intuition and ultimately healing. Holly is the founder of the Anatomically Correct Trim (TACT) movement, which grew from her own search for answers when Lana suffered years of unexplained lameness. Her journey led her to a much deeper understanding of the horse's hoof, and the vital role that correct hoof care can play in a horse's comfort, soundness and overall wellbeing. Holly is also a psychic medium and intuitive channel, bringing another fascinating dimension to this story of learning to listen; to our horses, to ourselves, and to that quiet inner knowing that tells us there is more to discover. In this episode, we explore: Holly and Lana's extraordinary connectionWhy healthy, correctly balanced hooves matter so much to horsesHolly's journey to developing a deeper understanding of hoof careTrusting your intuition when something doesn't feel rightThe lessons Lana has taught Holly over more than two decadesThe remarkable transformation in Lana's health and soundnessSometimes, the animal we think we're here to help becomes the one who changes us.

    Spiritual Awakening, Divine Connection & The Mastery of Energy | Michael Monk What happens when a single spiritual experience transforms the entire direction of a person’s life? In this profound conversation, Lisa welcomes Michael Monk, a world-renowned healer, spiritual teacher, and founder of the Metaphysical Church of the Tree of Life and Avatar Energy Mastery programs.

This is a deep exploration into spirituality, consciousness, energy mastery, and the journey of discovering who we truly are beyond the physical experience.

    Spirit Guides, Awakening Experiences & The Veil Between Worlds | Craig Meriwether (Part 2) #41

    In this second half of the conversation, Lisa and Craig Meriwether continue their exploration of past life regression, consciousness, and expanded spiritual awareness. Lisa reflects on her own experiences of spiritual visions and unusual perceptual states, and Craig discusses how these phenomena are often temporary shifts in awareness that may support personal development rather than remain permanently accessible. They dive deeper into Craig’s book Past Lives Guidebook, which blends scientific research, cultural perspectives on reincarnation, and CIA remote viewing studies into a non-linear exploration of consciousness. The conversation also highlights the pioneering work of Brian Weiss and Michael Newton, whose research helped bring past life regression into wider recognition despite early skepticism. Craig shares his personal journey from scepticism to clinical practice and explains how he now facilitates remote hypnotherapy sessions via Zoom, working with clients globally across different time zones. Key Topics Lisa’s spiritual vision and perception experiencesTemporary shifts in consciousness (“wrinkles in time”)Past Lives Guidebook and remote viewing researchCultural and scientific perspectives on reincarnationBrian Weiss & Michael NewtonFrom scepticism to clinical hypnotherapy practiceRemote past life regression via Zoom Themes Consciousness and expanded perceptionBridging science and spiritualityPersonal experience and validationRemote healing and global practiceEvolution of regression therapy SOCIALS: https://sacredmysteryhypnotherapy.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@Sacred_Mystery_Hypnotherapy https://www.instagram.com/sacred_mystery_hypnotherapy https://www.tiktok.com/@sacred_mystery https://www.facebook.com/sacredmysteryhypnotherapy https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-meriwether-44286718b/ At Enlightened Connections, I share trusted resources, tools, and products to support you and your animal companions.

    Can Past Lives Explain Present-Day Struggles? | Craig Meriwether (Part 1) #40

    In this first half of a two-part conversation, Lisa speaks with Craig Meriwether about past life regression, hypnotherapy, and the nature of memory and consciousness. Craig explains past life regression as a clinical hypnotherapy process used to access subconscious memories that may influence present-day emotional patterns and life experiences. He explores how unresolved “ancient wounds” can surface and be worked through therapeutically. The discussion moves into the idea of the brain as an energetic receiver or antenna, with Craig sharing perspectives on the pineal gland and how perception may be influenced by frequency-based information rather than purely physical memory storage. Lisa and Craig also share personal spiritual experiences, including expanded states of awareness and phenomena that challenge conventional ideas of reality and dreaming. The conversation highlights the importance of ethical practice, proper training, and grounded therapeutic frameworks, especially when working with deep subconscious material. They also reference pioneers in the field such as Brian Weiss and Michael Newton, and the growing interest in reincarnation research and consciousness studies. Key Topics What past life regression is (and isn’t)Hypnotherapy and subconscious healingEmotional imprints and “ancient wounds”Memory as frequency / antenna theoryPineal gland and perception conceptsEthical considerations in regression workSpiritual experiences and altered statesInfluential researchers in the field Note This episode is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 continues the discussion into deeper case insights and expanded consciousness exploration.

    A Horse, Two Angels & an Impossible Rescue: The True Story of Checote | Tammy Holsey #39

    What if your horse was protected by angels? ** A note from Lisa: This episode is a little longer than most, but I encourage you to listen right through to the end. This story takes you on a journey that will change forever the way you see horses, and their incredible connection with each other and with we humans. In this extraordinary episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa speaks with Texas horsewoman and author Tammy Holsey about the incredible true story behind her book Checote's Angels. After a helicopter startled a herd of horses, Checote suffered a catastrophic injury that veterinarians struggled to explain. Despite losing critical extensor tendons and facing a long, painful recovery, he survived against the odds and went on to compete successfully for years. The story became even more remarkable when an animal communicator accurately described how the accident occurred, revealing details Tammy had never shared. Later, multiple people independently reported seeing two angels constantly accompanying Checote. Tammy also recounts a dramatic rescue mission in which two riderless horses led her to believe a friend was in danger. Trusting Checote completely, she followed him through a hazardous gravel quarry where she witnessed what appeared to be angelic guidance leading them directly to the injured rider. In this episode, we discuss: • Checote's miraculous survival and recovery• Animal communication and intuitive connections with horses• Angels and spiritual experiences with animals• A real-life rescue that defied explanation• Signs from animals in spirit• End-of-life communication and saying goodbye• The lasting bond between humans and animals Tammy also shares the moving story of Checote's final days, the messages he gave her before his passing at age 27, and the ways she still senses his presence today.
