    EP030 - Bob Burns Swan song and lucid dreaming

    EP030 - Bob Burns Swan song and lucid dreaming

    Bob is the first return guest. You can find his previous episode, way back at EP4 here to save yourself from having to look through the old ones to find it.

    Bob Burns talks with Lance about the swan and its voice, evidenced-based hypnotherapy, fixing people, the wall, scripts, lucid dreaming, and so much more.

    The swan is somewhere between a hypnotic process, a suggestibility test, a hypnotic phenomenon, an ideomotor response and just something else. It is a truly unique way to speak to the parts within the subconscious!

    You can find out more about the Zoom workshop in July here: http://branchesofhealing.com.au/events/swanclass

    If you like the swan, I also have a book on Amazon to aid in engaging with your swan: https://branchesofhealing.com.au/swan

    EP029 Animal Magnetism with Lee Gerrard-Barlow

    EP029 Animal Magnetism with Lee Gerrard-Barlow

    Lee is a hypnotherapist, NLPist, and for the main focus of this interview, an Animal Magnetist (or Mesmerist). There are very few of us out there that dive deep into this niche subject of energy and hypnosis. 

    Animal Magnetism is a healing art that is the precursor of hypnosis, founded by Anton Mesmer in the mid to late 1700s. Because Mesmer was working with an unseen energy, or magnetic fluid as he called it, he was discredited and deemed a charlatan. However, this art was explored by many and didn't disappear then due to its genuine power and efficiency. It has now been mostly replaced with verbal hypnosis, but the two are very different.

    Enjoy our conversation about this healing art, and a presence-building exercise.
    You can find out more about Lee and his work at the below links. I strongly encourage anyone in the UK to book in for his classes.

    For those of you in Australia, Lance hosts his certificate of hypnosis every 6 months and includes Mesmerism within that class, and every now and then hosts a class just on mesmerism. You can find out about these all at:

    If you enjoyed this and would like more on the subject, I had Rick Collingwood on for Episode 20, here:

    EP026 Lance Baker - Reiki History

    Welcome to the anniversary episode! Thanks for joining me for the past year, I said I was going to do weekly episodes... as you can tell by this episode number... I got halfway there lol. let's say the past year has been very different since I first decided to start a podcast, and I needed to put my health, family, clients, and students first while doing the best not to make this suffer, or just put out junk interviews and waste your time.

    This episode is from today's Reiki class and is the story of the history of Reiki as a thank you to the thing that changed my life and made August 5th a day I now respect rather than fear.

    I hope you enjoy.

    If you want to find out more about reiki and learn a little I have a free mini-class up at www.branchesofhealing.com.au/attunement

    EP024 Lance Baker - Remote Healing

    EP024 Lance Baker - Remote Healing

    This episode of Akasha Talks is more like a free lesson in remote healing. At a time where many of us are isolated at home, I feel the ability to do healing at a distance is a valuable gift. So I am giving you all that gift!

    Prior to watching this, I would recommend you check out my free Reiki one attunement video lesson series at: www.branchesofhealing.com.au/attunement

    Doing this first will help you understand the fundamentals of energy healing and feel the energy a little more.

    This episode also includes some elements where I show you things on a visual dimension, so I would also recommend you go watch this episode rather than listen at www.akashatalks.com/remotehealing

    This week we talk with Francesca Panzironi from Aṉangu Ngangkaṟi Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation (ANTAC) about their traditional healing work and her Hand in Hand report.

    "Indigenous Peoples have the right to their traditional medicines and to maintain their health practices, including the conservation of their vital medicinal plants, animals and minerals"
     
    United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, article 24.1
     
    The recognition of Indigenous Peoples' right to their traditional medicine under international human rights law provides the foundation on which the Aṉangu Ngangkaṟi Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation (ANTAC) is established.

    The ANTAC Vision is to support the maintenance and practice of the 60,000 year-old Aboriginal traditional medical knowledge system in the XXI century.

    The ANTAC Mission is to create a platform for the recognition of Aboriginal traditional medicine and Aboriginal traditional healers as legitimate traditional health care practitioners. They operate as a not-for-profit social enterprise to achieve the following goals:

    Create a sustainable employment pathway for Aboriginal traditional healers in today's clinical settings;

    EP020 - Rick Collingwood - Mesmersim

    Rick Collingwood joins me to talk about Mesmerism or animal magnetism as it was originally named by Anton Mesmer. Mesmerism is the non-verbal the energetic origins of hypnosis, we talk about this and some of his strange and interesting experiences.

    Below you can find two links to some videos of mesmerism in action, the first is one we talked about in the podcast where Rick drops Tim's brainwaves with just his gaze and you can see the effects of the EEG in the background to watch the effect on his brain. The second is one where I put Chel into a trance with mesmeric fascination and then clear her energy and if you watch closely you will see me move her neck back and forth without touching, just using the mesmeric energy.
