Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari Alex Ferrari

In the timeless dance of existence, where spirituality meets the everyday, we find ourselves in today's episode welcoming the radiant Emily Fletcher. Emily's journey from Broadway performer to meditation teacher is nothing short of transformative. Her transition, born out of necessity and curiosity, has led her to discover profound truths about the human condition and the potential for growth through meditation and self-awareness.Emily begins by sharing her unlikely journey. Once a Broadway performer, she faced the high demands of understudying multiple lead roles, leading to severe stress and insomnia. “I meditate,” a fellow performer confided in her, sparking Emily's initial skepticism. Yet, desperation led her to try it, and on the first day of her meditation course, she experienced a profound shift in consciousness. This newfound practice cured her insomnia, stopped her from getting sick, and reignited her passion for her career. She felt a calling to share this life-changing practice with others, leading her to train intensively in India and ultimately start her own meditation school, Ziva.Emily Fletcher eloquently explains the essence of meditation and its common misconceptions. Many people believe that the goal of meditation is to clear the mind, which can be daunting and seemingly impossible. She emphasizes that meditation is not about achieving a quiet mind but about accessing a unique state of consciousness where the body can rest deeply and heal itself. “We meditate to get good at life, not to get good at meditation,” she asserts. In this state, the body releases accumulated stress, which she likens to a deep, cellular cleanse.A significant portion of Emily's teaching revolves around the concept of pleasure and its often misunderstood relationship with spirituality. She discusses how our genetic code is influenced by our epigenetics, which are changeable based on our lifestyle choices. Activities such as meditation, exercise, and even laughter can turn on healthy gene expressions, while stress and unhealthy habits can have the opposite effect. By embracing pleasure as a form of self-care and spiritual practice, individuals can transform their lives and enhance their well-being.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Meditation is a tool for life: Meditation is not about achieving a perfect state of calm but about giving the body deep rest, allowing it to heal and release accumulated stress. This practice can profoundly impact both personal and professional life, enhancing overall well-being.Pleasure as a pathway to spirituality: Embracing pleasure through activities such as meditation, exercise, and even sex can turn on healthy gene expressions and improve overall health. Viewing pleasure as a sacred practice can transform one’s spiritual journey and personal fulfillment.Overcoming worthiness issues: Meditation helps to cultivate a sense of worthiness by reconnecting individuals with their innate divinity. Recognizing that desires are not about fulfilling a void but about nature expressing itself through us can shift perspectives and enhance self-worth.Emily also delves into the topic of sexual energy and its potential as a spiritual tool. In a society often plagued by misconceptions and shame around sex, she encourages a reframe. By viewing sexual energy as a potent force for manifestation and connection to the divine, individuals can reclaim this aspect of their spirituality. She speaks candidly about her personal practices and how dedicating her pleasure to the divine, such as the goddess Isis, has deepened her spiritual experiences.In conclusion, Emily Fletcher’s journey and teachings remind us that spirituality is deeply intertwined with our everyday experiences. By embracing practices like meditation and viewing pleasure as sacred, we can transform our lives and enhance our spiritual growth. Her story is a testament to the power of self-awareness, the courage to change, and...

In this vibrant journey called life, we often encounter moments of struggle and triumph, darkness and light. On today's episode, we welcome the enlightening Nataly Kogan, a beacon of hope and a guide toward finding happiness and fulfillment. Nataly, once entrenched in the shadows of unhappiness and burnout, now dedicates her life to helping others discover the joy within themselves.Born in Russia, Nataly's early life was a tapestry of struggle and resilience. Her family fled as refugees to the United States, bringing only a few suitcases and a couple of hundred dollars. The transition was challenging, filled with cultural barriers and the sting of alienation. Nataly candidly shares, "I grew up where struggle and suffering were elevated to godly status. My natural inclination was to see life as a constant struggle." Despite these early hardships, Nataly's journey led her to a profound realization: happiness is not found in external achievements, but within ourselves.Nataly Kogan's transformative journey began in the depths of burnout. She describes this period as a time when her "flame went out," leading her to seek help from a spiritual teacher. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of her quest for inner peace and emotional fitness. Nataly's path was not a straightforward one; it was filled with stumbles and sideways movements, as she humorously recalls Googling "how to be more spiritual" and discovering the teachings of Ram Dass. This exploration opened her eyes to the importance of looking within for happiness, rather than constantly chasing external validation.In our conversation, Nataly emphasizes the significance of emotional fitness, which she defines as creating a more supportive relationship with our thoughts, emotions, and others. She draws a parallel to physical fitness, explaining that just as we train our bodies, we must also train our minds. "Your brain is mostly concerned with your survival, not your happiness," she notes. This understanding is crucial in shifting our focus from external achievements to internal well-being.Nataly’s insights into the human condition resonate deeply with the universal quest for happiness. Her journey from struggle to self-discovery is a testament to the power of looking within and embracing our true selves. She challenges us to shift our focus from external achievements to internal fulfillment, reminding us that we are enough just as we are.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Self-Acceptance as the Foundation of Happiness: Nataly teaches us that happiness begins with being at peace with ourselves. This doesn't mean we stop striving for improvement; rather, it means we approach life from a place of self-love and respect.The Power of Self-Compassion: We often treat ourselves harsher than we would a friend. By practicing self-compassion, acknowledging our mistakes, and supporting ourselves through them, we can reduce suffering and motivate ourselves to keep moving forward.Reframing Our Thoughts: Nataly encourages us to view our brains as scared children rather than adversaries. By understanding that our negative thoughts stem from fear, we can better manage and redirect them toward more productive outcomes.In conclusion, Nataly's story is a beacon of light for anyone seeking happiness and emotional fitness. She inspires us to embrace our unique journeys, cultivate self-compassion, and find peace within ourselves. As we part ways with today's episode, let us carry forward the wisdom and insights shared by this remarkable guest.

For those on a quest for their divine connection, Matt offers sage advice: "I think that people think that either looking for your beloved, is going to be what causes you to find them.

He shares a significant realization, saying, "I went through an experience a couple of years ago... where the past lives I did remember, the wisdom has been integrated, the wounding has been healed. And I actually live as this, as if this lifetime is my first and only lifetime."

In the labyrinth of ancient mysteries, we find ourselves drawn to the tales that unravel the enigma of human origins and cosmic connections. On today's episode, we welcome the insightful and eloquent Paul Wallis, a distinguished researcher and author delving into the profound narratives that challenge our conventional understanding of history. Paul Wallis, renowned for his work on ancient scriptures and the enigmatic Book of Enoch, offers a compelling perspective that bridges the chasm between ancient myths and modern discoveries.Our conversation begins with a reflection on the anomalies within biblical texts. Wallis recounts his journey into ancient translations, revealing how fundamental meanings of key words can transform our understanding of these stories. "In my book 'Escaping from Eden,' I take the reader through the process of retelling these stories using the root meanings," he explains. This approach led him to uncover connections between the biblical accounts and the Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, and Assyrian narratives, suggesting a shared ancient origin.Paul Wallis introduces us to the fascinating Book of Enoch, a text left out of the mainstream biblical canon but preserved in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. He describes the Book of Enoch as containing themes that were "off-syllabus" for forming the imperial department of religion, which sought to control narratives. The Book of Enoch, with its rich descriptions of ancient watchers and their interactions with humanity, offers a more complex worldview, hinting at ancient encounters and hybridization between humans and otherworldly beings.The notion of ancient contact continues to captivate as Wallis discusses the concept of the Anunnaki, sky gods mentioned in both the Book of Enoch and Sumerian texts. These beings, he suggests, played a role in human evolution through genetic engineering and cultural exchange. Wallis highlights the recurring motif of hybridization and the transfer of knowledge, seen in the teaching of agriculture, crafts, and other advanced skills to early humans. This narrative of ancient visitors and their influence on human development is echoed in various cultures worldwide, reinforcing the idea of a shared historical memory.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Reevaluating Ancient Texts: Wallis encourages us to revisit ancient scriptures with fresh eyes, using fundamental translations to uncover deeper meanings. This approach can reveal connections between seemingly disparate cultures and their shared narratives of creation and contact.Acknowledging Ancient Knowledge: The stories of the Anunnaki and other ancient beings remind us that humanity's history is interwoven with cosmic influences. Recognizing these ancient connections can expand our understanding of human potential and our place in the cosmos.Embracing Conscious Evolution: Wallis's insights into ancient contact suggest that humanity's journey involves not only physical evolution but also the development of consciousness. By exploring these ancient narratives, we can unlock deeper aspects of our own spiritual growth and potential.Throughout our conversation, Paul Wallis emphasizes the importance of understanding our ancient origins to grasp the full spectrum of human potential. He points out that stories of ancient contact, hybridization, and technological exchanges are not merely myths but encoded memories of humanity's past. By decoding these narratives, we can reclaim lost knowledge and insights that can guide us toward a more enlightened future.In conclusion, the profound wisdom shared by Paul Wallis invites us to explore the depths of our history with curiosity and an open mind. His work challenges us to question the established narratives and to seek out the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface of ancient texts. As we embrace this journey of discovery, we move closer to understanding the true nature of our existence and our...
