The Skeptic Metaphysicians | A Pragmatic Guide to Spiritual Awakening, Metaphysics & Consciousness

A Chemistry Professor's Case for Why Energy Healing Is Real - Spirit Fest USA Special

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen "sit down" with Doron Shalev, a chemistry professor, crystallographer, and self-described skeptic who found his way into energy healing through an unlikely source: a stack of pandemic reading that started with crystal science and ended with a Reiki master teacher certification. Doron makes the scientific case for "woo," walking through the statistical thresholds researchers use to validate findings like the Higgs boson, and why many energy-healing studies actually clear a higher bar of statistical significance than science is willing to credit. The conversation turns personal when Doron describes healing his own arthritis through distance Reiki, a technique he says works better on himself than hands-on healing ever did. He also shares his shift from traditional Reiki symbols to Kabbalistic healing, using one of the 72 names of God in place of the Cho Ku Rei symbol, and describes how he reads chakra energy to figure out whether what he's sensing is emotional or physical. It's a rare conversation between a scientist and two skeptics-turned-believers, all circling the same question: what happens when the data starts pointing somewhere science hasn't caught up to yet. Guest: Doron ShalevFind him: https://doronshalev.com and at https://modernmysticproject.podia.comNew Reality TV is where this conversation lives alongside hundreds more just like it.

Why Isn't Your Money Mindset Working? The Energy Shift Nobody Tells You About

Most of us have tried to fix our relationship with money from the neck up. We've done the affirmations. We've read the books. We've tried to think differently, speak differently, believe differently. And yet the fear is still there. The guilt is still there. That low-level shame that shows up every time we look at our bank account, still there. What if the problem isn't your mindset at all? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Sarah McCrum, author of “Love Money. Money Loves You”, and one of the most grounded and genuinely surprising voices in the money consciousness space. Sarah isn't coming at this from a law of attraction angle, and she's not selling a manifestation formula. She's a Cambridge graduate and former BBC journalist who arrived at this work through personal loss, a business collapse, and one very strange afternoon where her pen started writing things she says she didn't come up with herself. What came through that pen became a book. And that book has quietly transformed the financial lives of more than twenty thousand business owners, investors, and families around the world. What Sarah discovered, and what this conversation unpacks in real time, is that money isn't a neutral force we can manipulate with the right thoughts. It's an energy. A powerful one. And like any relationship, the energy you bring to it determines what you get back. If you've ever caught yourself saying "I can't afford that," "people like me don't make that kind of money," or "I want more money but something about having it feels wrong," this episode is going to hit differently. Because according to Sarah, those aren't just thoughts. They're commands. And something in the fabric of how abundance moves through the world is listening. In this episode:What money consciousness actually means, and why it's fundamentally different from positive thinking or the law of attraction.Why trying to fix your money blocks at the mindset level is working against yourself, and what to work on instead.The automatic writing experience that changed Sarah's life at her lowest financial moment, and the first message she received: "I would like to tell you to love me."How your relationship with money mirrors every other relationship you have, including the unhealthy patterns.Why judging people who have money may be one of the most overlooked abundance blocks of all.The surprising connection between Chinese energy principles, acupuncture, and financial healing.What Sarah calls the three core instructions from money itself: relax, enjoy, love.Why the desire for prosperity isn't shallow or materialistic. It may be one of the deepest soul desires we carry.Enjoyed this episode? Leave us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

Words Are Magic: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Ritual Behind This Perfume House

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Amiee Gibson of The Hidden Court of Heka, a luxury ritual perfume house built entirely around one Egyptian concept: that words, spoken, written, or simply held in the heart, are magic.Amiee walks through her three "chambers," each a scent world built around a different sense of belonging, from resin-and-rose blends to a dream-enhancing floral chamber of blue tansy and jasmine. She explains why her perfumes age for eight to twelve weeks before they're ready, how a jojoba-oil base gives them a two-year shelf life, and the small ritual trick that can stretch a single application to last all day.The conversation turns personal and a little spooky when Amiee describes her handmade spirit boards, each one warded, engraved with an original incantation, and designed to be used alone rather than with a group, a deliberate departure from the Ouija boards most people grew up fearing.It's a conversation about intention, craft, and the old idea that what you speak, you become.Guest: Amiee Gibson, The Hidden Court of HekaFind her: hiddencourtofhekka.comThe Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

Ancient Minerals, Modern Healing: What the Old World Knew About Staying Well

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Clint Greenlee of IESA Healing Arts and Soundworks to talk about Ormus — sometimes called "the philosopher's stone" — and the ancient mineral wisdom his Heal the World Project is built around. Clint breaks down why even a "perfect" diet may only get you 70% of the way to real health, how copper deficiency quietly blocks your body from absorbing magnesium and iron, and why he believes healing should be radically simple: just a few single-ingredient tonics rather than a cabinet full of supplements. The conversation moves from Ormus tinctures and topical applications to Shilajit, castor oil, and the body's own capacity to detox, rebalance, and regulate the nervous system — including a live moment where Clint offers Will a hands-on remedy for his neck-related migraines. It's a conversation about going back to basics: minerals from the ocean and volcanic ash, the wisdom of ancient healing traditions, and what it actually takes to let the body heal itself. Guest: Clint Greenlee, IESA Healing Arts and SoundworksFind him: https://www.iesahealingartsandsoundworks.com/The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.
