    EP 131 What if businesses had souls?

    I specialise in Business akashic records which are the records of the soul of a business. i was shown about ten years ago that every business has a soul independent of its founder and they have a soul contract. The founder or founders agree to bring the business to life, and the business chooses the founders for the characteristics that they bring to the business. It starts as a perfect match, although the founders might think it was their idea. Spirit works in a different way. If you don't know what akashic records are, I invite you to listen to EP 57 The Akashic Records. Businesses, governments, buildings and generally entities have souls. And because they do, they have records. At the start of a business, the relationship between the founder and the business is like any relationship. It's the honey moon phase. Over time, however, the two can become misaligned. I link it back to Simon Sinek's book Start with why. A business has a very strong why at the start. And if it looses its connection with its purpose, then it becomes less purposeful effectively becoming soulless. I find it fascinating that a business consultant like Simon Sinek can come to the same conclusion as I do even though he is not spiritual. Imagine what would happen if he was and he knew the tools that I know to align or realign a business owner to its business. The soul quality of charitable organisation is easier to accept because intrinsically, they are here to do good, but it's not reserved for the non-profit sector. Commercial companies can also be soul driven. Once you connect to the soul of your business, it can show you exactly how you are supposed to do business, what brand colours to use, what offers, what pricing, what funnels. All these things that can confuse us and take months if not years to hone, we can receive the information almost instantly when we open the records of a business. And most business owners and entrepreneurs tell me that they knew this was what they were supposed to do but they lacked the confidence in the vision they had received. If you would like me to read the records of your business, why not book a session with this link.

    EP 130 The World Needs More Conscious Leaders Now

    With the world going to hell in a hand basket right now, with incredibly rich and powerful people being listed in the Epstein files whilst other leaders are playing battleship in the Middle East, we need conscious leaders more than ever. In this episode I define the three quality that I believe conscious leaders have: They are here to serve They value democracy They want what is for the highest good I also talk about when leadership does none of these three things and use our current Labour government here in the UK, which sadly has fell to alarmingly high levels of corruption - as highlighted by Transparency International, an organisation that publishes the Corruption Perceptions Index. The situation is so bad that we are now at risk of this becoming an embedded culture here in the UK. Paul Holden's book, the Fraud, is an eye opener. Although I have not read the book myself, I have listened to his interview on the Bold Politics Podcast and I encourage you to do the same. Here is a link if you wish to do so. This being said, I invite you to use the law of attraction to focus on the conscious leaders of this world and send them the energy that they need to make this world a better place. For me, at the moment, it is Zack Polanski, the new leader of the England and Wales Green party. I would love to know who it is for you, so feel free to share on my website on the show notes. But if you can't see one where you live, perhaps this is the nudge that you need to step up. I can help. I have recently stepped up myself and have used my EPIC framework to scaffold that experience and prevent myself from burning out.

    EP 129 Druidry as a Nature Path to Spirituality with Nyx Vera

    My guest his month is Australian based Nyx Vera. She was kind enough to share her personal experience with Druidry. We think of druids as these ancient sages with long beards and personally, I was heavily influenced by my childhood comic Asterix, to the point where I took for granted the idea that druids had always existed in Europe and that they were somehow connected to my ancestors, as a French born person. I found out thanks to Nyx's book recommendation that entire myths had been created by a couple of authors in the 1700s in the UK that were sometimes plucked out of thin air for the author's ulterior motives. The truth is that due to the fact that Druidry used to be a purely oral tradition, like most indigenous traditions, very little is known about them. A lot more is known about Modern Druidry however and Nyx was kind enough to direct us to two books that can give us a lot of information about this practice. One called World Druidry by Larisa A. White and one called Australian Druidry by Julie Brett. What I found fascinating from my chat with Nyx is that Druids come from all sorts of backgrounds and not only from tree hugging individuals, however endearing that might sound. There are scientists, artists, and so many more who are all united by a devotion to nature and the land. There is no formal authority and no requirements to become a druid. Some druids choose to study and if they do so, there are usually three levels of studies that can take at least one year to complete. In our discussion with Nyx we explored the following questions: is there an intersection between paganism, druidry and witchcraft? Is it possible to practice druidry in a city environment? The most common misconception people have about druids? And so much more. What struck me is how inclusive the world of druids seems to be. To connect with Nyx, click here.

    EP 128 The Energy of Money

    Is money good or bad? In this episode, I explore what we attach to money and what we make it into. I have an interesting background because on my dad's side they came from money whereas on my mum's side they were working class. This has given me a rich tapestry to observe people's beliefs and attitudes towards money. Perhaps this has led to me seeing that money in itself is neutral. How people see and use money, however, isn't. We need to observe every belief we have around money and question it to we can free ourselves from the bond we have with it. Money likes to flow, like water. In and out. When we try to stop it from moving, we are going against its nature. What I have realised when I lost my career as a lawyer is that certain professions have a relationship with money that differs broadly from other professions. When I was a lawyer, I felt secure in my relationship with money and didn't think I had money mindset issues. And yet I did. I deflected money by giving it away as if I didn't deserve it. I invite you to listen to EP 28 that explores the question of whether it is a spiritual thing to help others. The moment I became an artist and a healer, my relationship with money changed entirely. It felt like with the job came a poverty consciousness that I never realised was there, which derives from the myth of the starving artist. That poverty consciousness found a part in me that I didn't even knew existed, that doubted my own self worth. It took me years to shift that part of me. My invitation in this episode is to challenge your beliefs around money and change your relationship to money. When you come across a belief around money, use the four questions of the work, by Byron Katie, to challenge that belief. Go back to EP 97 to see how the process works. And conclude the exercise by writing a letter to money.

    EP 127 The Energy of Your Home

    The energy of your home can affect you in profound ways. There are two reasons. First your home has an energy of its own. But second, you leave an energetic footprint to your home through your emotions and your thoughts, which, if not cleaned regularly, can build up thought forms and energetic clouds. Once the energy become strong enough, it then becomes harder to get rid of it. In the episode, I share with you a simple practice that can help you break up that energy and start to get rid of it. I would also like to invite you to listen to previous episodes about this topic: EP 30 The Ancient Chinese Art of Feng Shui EP 70 A Fresh Start for You and Your Home I talk about decluttering and give you my best tips on how to get started. I give you my definition of what clutter is and how clutter creates energy drains. If you need help, why not book a house clearing session (if works for flats too).

    EP 126 Energetic Black Holes

    Due to the release of the Epstein Files, I have been asked to do an episode on how to protect ourselves from what I would like to refer to as Energetic Black Holes, which represent the darkest side of humanity. Up until now, I have been talking about several different energy vortices: EP 115 The energy of the news and politics EP 122 The energy of flags (UK) EP 123 The energy of war and peace EP 124 The energy of songs But none of these episodes looked into the darkest side of humanity. We are being exposed to this right now, not because it has never existed before, but because it has to be exposed and to come into the light for healing. However, I am urging you not to dive into that energy unless you are a very experienced lightworker - a term I use very seldom. Not every reiki master is an experienced lightworker. I have had reiki masters tell me that if you are "of the light" then that sort of darkness cannot touch you. They are misguided. That sort of naivety is dangerous and could lead you to put yourself in danger. I also want to warn against using words such a sociopath, psychopath and narcissist lightly. This is very harmful to the community of people who suffer from mental illnesses. Nasty people are usually powerful energy vampires but this is another level entirely that has a purposeful device added to the dark energy that is designed to syphon your energy if you come into contact with it. Just like you shouldn't run into a house on fire to save people in it unless you were a fully trained firefighter, the same goes here about these dark energies. I was shown by my spirit team that Epstein was so dark that his soul was terminated. To give perspective, Hitler soul hasn't been terminated, although he is in a very dark place right now. In the episode, I share an intention you can set which I have borrowed from Amanda Ellis, to whom I want to give credit. I have however, attached a caveat to it, which you will find out if you listen to the episode. These energies are like black holes and just like black holes, when you engage with them there is what is called a "boundary of no escape" - which, if you cross it, will require professional help to recover from. And the sad thing is, you can cross that line so easily from just going down a rabbit hole after seeing a post on social media, which you weren't even necessarily looking for.

    EP 125 Spiritual Practices for the New Year with Helen Plehn

    Our guest this month is Hay house published author, artist and spiritual teacher, Helen Plehn, who has trained in an impressive number of spiritual modalities. Her book called Aura Colour Wheel presents a radical system of looking at the aura and the chakra system in the light of our soul path, lessons and wounds. We started the discussion by talking about Feng Shui as I wanted to honour Helen's Chinese heritage and knowledge of Feng Shui, and the image for these show notes was taken whilst we recorded the episode in zoom when Helen excitedly reached out for the compass that was used by her grand mother and handed down to her dad, then to herself as a third generation Feng Shui master. Helen also shared about her kundalini energy experience and how this suddenly allowed her to see spirit through the opening of her third eye but also how it took her a couple of weeks to integrate the energy with the support of her spiritual teachers, particularly to learn to close her third eye to be able to function in the 3D world. We talked about her mother's recent cancer diagnosis and healing that she calls a miracle as it happened on the back of her mother releasing the anger she held against her own parents, which was stored in her solar plexus, and that had created liver cancer. Helen explained that her mother does not believe in any of the angelic and spiritual teachings of her daughter but that this helped her nevertheless. Even though the Aura Colour Wheel is complex, this does not deprive us of our free will. You can find out more about Helen and take her quiz on her website www.helencreatesbeauty.com. If you purchase her book, which is available on all the platforms where books are sold, you will receive three bonuses that you can claim here. So make sure you keep your receipt so you can enter the details on her website. One is a personal reading that will allow you to start the year with a bang by knowing a very important personal number that will help you find out about your prosperous direction. The second is access to Helen's facebook community. And the third derives from the second as Helen does monthly live Q+As in that community. If you buy Helen's book and you enjoy it, you can vote for it in the Conscious Life Expo Book Award with this link. No purchase required though. Helen has also started a podcast on her YouTube Channel at the start of January 2026 which you can watch live every Monday at 10 am Pacific Time called the Aura Evolution Podcast.

    EP 124 The Energy of Songs

    Songs can carry a mix of energies and because we listen to them in a state of semi-hypnosis the lyrics and that mixed energy can unduly influence us in our beliefs. In order to demonstrate this, I went through what are considered to be the top 10 most popular songs in the UK and I deconstructed them to prove my point. All of Me - John Legend I Will Always Love You - Whitney Huston The Power of Love - Jennifer Rush Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran I don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars Angels - Robbie Williams Everything I do, I do for you - Bryan Adams My heart will go on - Celine Dion The problem that I have with most of those songs, except perhaps Bruno Mars' song (although it's problematic in a different way), is that they have less than ideal messages wrapped up in a pretty box with a bow. That pretty box is a fine tune or a lovely melody and often it comes with a beautiful voice, but the message is still problematic. There are of course wonderful songs and I have a playlist called High Vibe. Some of the songs you can find in there are: Mr Blue SKy - ELO Thank you - Bliss Here comes the sun - the Beatles Intuition - John Lennon Happy - Pharrell Williams W.i.t.c.h. - Devon Cole If you have a favourite high vibe song you would like to share with us, why not share it in the comments on the podcast show notes on my website. www.spirituallawyer.co.uk/podcast-2
