The Spiritual Voice

The Spiritual Voice podcast is a show about spirituality from all walks of life, designed with the inquisitive soul in mind. While we might feature a guest or two with backgrounds in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Zen, or Taoism, from priests to psychics, these interviews don’t tread familiar ground. Our goal is to empower self-discovery and personal development by presenting useful practices, techniques, recommendations, and resources from a panoply of traditions, cultures, and sociological perspectives. Mysticism, Sufism, meditation, yogic, mantras & tantric traditions, alchemy, shamanism, divination, ancient wisdom traditions, angels, trance, God/god, art, tarot, psychedelics, minimalism, karma, spiritual pilgrimages, travel, the awakening process, and even a dominatrix are just some of the points of view we’ve brought to listeners interested in exploring how and why they believe what they believe. Host Pol Cousineau, a CPA, Marketing and Technology Expert, and Spiritual Health & Leadership Mentor, asks the big questions, getting his guests to offer up sometimes surprising and always inspiring answers.

This interview with Ram Bhakt unloads the term ‘meditation’ and offers you a deeper understand as to the nature of karma.

Simply, meditation is anytime that you step outside of your regular routine to reflect and connect. When you practice meditation, you turn on parts of your brain that are higher centers.

This helps you to make choices and take actions that are in alignment with the direction you truly which to take in your life.

A lot of people make decisions that they regret because they are guided by passion, emotions or a lack of stability within their selves. Meditation provides you with a solution to these patterns, to avoid making choices that you could regret.

Karma can be perceived non-linearly as well as a form of perception. Karma itself is action or work. Our expert refers to the Sutras of Pantajali when unpacking this concept.

Ultimately, the only thing that is real is the present moment and your perception of it. Meditation offers you a path to see more clearly and refine your perception.

Ram offers you an alternative to reacting to the circumstances dictated by our choices. Karma is both something that is moving in time yet it is also non-existent as the spirit moves through lifetimes unchanged. When you sit to meditate, you can include both concepts to go beyond the theory.

When you meditate you can observe your reactions to your actions yet you can also realize that nothing really changed. The witness or spirit is the same being that is within you.

Early stages of meditation will give you a tool to learn about yourself and improve your life. As you continue a practice the objective often becomes a practice to commune with a higher dimension of your being and yourself.

Listen to the interview for advice on overcoming challenges towards a consistent meditation practice, learning about surrendering, appreciation and the environment for your spiritual practice.

In this interview with Chris Burns we merge games, fun and consciousness to help you reach your peak potential and level up your experience of life. Together we cover the reset button, rules, cheat codes and power ups for your life.

You’ll hear examples of how you can gamify life, spirituality and consciousness. This involves challenging your beliefs; cold showers are optional.

Can you be anything? What if you could remove limitations through games?

Once you’ve created a game for yourself, you can find out if you are winning through reviewing your track records and examining how you shifted. This practice involves awareness and introspection.

As part of your game making process, you’ll be designing milestones which can be apply to all areas of your life, including spirituality.

Life and spirituality is about creating meaning. How do you choose to create meaning?

Chris provides you with specific examples of gamifying consciousness by using the example of connecting and listening to the elements.

Another example and key area of development is making eye contact. This is about being able to see the beauty through looking at the other people in the eyes.

Listen to the conversation on The Spiritual Voice Ep.0090 to learn how to shift, bend, break and create new rules about your reality.

Sexuality and spirituality are deeply interlinked topics that we explore with our expert Tamara Powell on The Spiritual Voice Podcast.

Couples that can discuss religion and sex tend to be the most successful ones. Tamara proposes healthy safe ways for you to engage in conversations around these subjects.

Our expert explains the importance of the first sexual encounters you’ve had. During periods of arousal the brain creates stronger imprints. By discussing your first experiences with your partner you can each become aware of the other’s sexual scripts.

This fun interview dances back and forth between sexuality and spirituality as we make parallels between them.

Religion may come with a set of beliefs that doesn’t agree with our sexual expression. How can we start exploring new sexual beliefs and practices in a way that doesn’t turn us away from our religious groups and teachings?

Listen to the interview to get practical advice as we talk about safety, mirroring, belief sharing, detachment, pan-spirituality and debriefing after a sexual experience.

Love is the answer to awakening the heart and stepping into true authenticity. Zoe Davenport shares her perspective on the need for honoring our bodies, self-care and love as the answer from what we have been shut off from for years.

During this interview Zoe pulls materials from her new book Love is the answer to open a space in your heart to expand into love. The process of stripping down lower vibrational energies is explored for us to return to the core of our being.

The spiritual journey requires us to take a massive leap of faith, to let go of our identity and open ourselves to new possibilities.

Our expert offers you techniques to walk the path, such as daily affirmations, meditation, self-care, self-love, self-appreciation and monitoring of the inner dialogue. The goal is to provide you with many options as anchoring a spiritual practice in every day existence requires you to discover what resonates with yourself.

Zoe shares a personal story of being stripped down to the bare bone essence of herself which led her to a stage of limbo prior to taking on an expansive trajectory. This is a story of loving our ego which is our protective barrier and mechanism.

We end on a lighter note as we share on forgiveness, fun, creativity and joy which comes through our inner child.

Listen to the show to learn what happens after the stripping down process.

You can access clarity by exploring the meaning and function of past life work with us. Katie gives you a specific example from a past life she discovered to better explain the concepts.

Perhaps you’ve been wondering, how do you find a good spiritual practitioner, teacher or guide?

This is an important question to be answered as you might be stepping into this role or have been desiring the guidance of others.

Listen to the interview to take charge of the next step of your journey.
