Episode 32: Awakening the Illuminated Heart, teachings and workshops offered with John Thode

Hello sweet soul, welcome. In this episode John shares with us his passion of Drunvalo Melchizedek's teachings and the amazing workshops he and his beloved, Waveney offer to those who feel called.

 

BIO:

Most of my life I have been a spiritual seeker.

This seeking continues to this day, until eventually, in 2012, I found the books of Drunvalo Melichezedek, who, in my view, was best able to iterate my understanding of Spirituality and open doors to so much more.

My wife Waveney and I decided we would like to train as teachers so we travelled to Mexico in 2013 and spent 2 weeks at Lake Chapala with 120 other teacher trainees from around the world. Since we returned we have held over 25 workshops in both Australia and New Zealand.

My other passions are plants and nature, and my employment for most of my life has been designing and building gardens and running a plant nursery. I also love the sea and sailing and have spent much of my life on the ocean.

Currently we are living on 6 acres in Mangawhai, we run bio-dynamically. It has 200 fruit
trees, beautiful native bush, and a river running through the middle.

We have all chosen to incarnate in planet Earth and live in these remarkable and pivotal
times and we all have a part to play.

In the One Heart, John

 

Transcription:

John's spiritual journey @ 1:22

John shared his lifelong spiritual journey, starting from being exposed to spiritual books as a teenager through his mother. In the 2000s, he discovered the work of Drunvalo Melchizedek and attended his "Awakening the Illuminated Heart" workshops, which had a profound impact. John and his wife later became certified teachers of this work and have since facilitated over 25 workshops in Australia and New Zealand.

The heart vs. the brain @ 5:00

John explained Melchizedek's teachings on the difference between the brain/mind (associated with duality) and the heart (associated with unity consciousness). The workshops focus on helping participants enter the heart space and create from a vibration of love, rather than from the dualistic mind.

Activations and abilities @ 6:50

The workshops involve various exercises and meditations to activate the third eye, the light body, and the pineal gland. John shared that Drunvalo has recently provided new information on using the pineal gland for telepathic communication, which they plan to incorporate into future workshops.

Personal passions and the current times @ 9:18

In addition to his spiritual work, John shared his lifelong passion for plants and nature. He discussed how he previously ran a landscaping business and now maintains a small nursery on his property. John sees the current times as an exciting opportunity for people to awaken and share their unique gifts to assist others.

Recap and closing @ 36:38

Jacob and John concluded the discussion by emphasizing the importance of grounding in nature, connecting with the consciousness of water, and embracing the changes happening both within and without. They expressed excitement about John and his wife's upcoming workshops and the opportunity to share these transformative teachings.

 

Thank you all for listening in today. Gratefully appreciate you all. Much love, Jacob.
