Today on Sense of Soul we have New York Times-bestselling author Laura Day. She has spent nearly four decades helping individuals,  organizations, and companies harness and develop their innate intuitive abilities to create  profound change. Newsweek magazine calls her “The $10,000-a-Month Psychic,” adding “When business people need a crystal ball, they turn to consultant Laura Day, the ‘intuitionist.’” The Independent dubbed her “The Psychic of Wall Street.” A-list Hollywood stars and Wall Street executives praise her ability to predict future events – including the 2008 recession – with astounding accuracy. As Brad Pitt has said, “I believe in the gut, and I believe in Laura Day.” Laura’s work has helped demystify intuition and bring it into the mainstream. In her workshops and presentations, she demonstrates the practical, verifiable, and sometimes astonishing uses of intuition in the fields of business, science, medicine, and personal growth. Laura has been featured in publications that include Newsweek, New York magazine, The  Independent, Bottom Line, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Stella, Forbes, and People. She has appeared on numerous TV networks and programs, including CNN, Fox News, Good Morning America, The View, Extra, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Today on Sense of Soul we have East Forest a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide. He’s a pioneer figure in the psychedelic music space, and is now making his mark in the film industry with, Music for Mushrooms. The documentary documents East Forest’s personal journey, blending his groundbreaking work in guided psilocybin ceremonies with his deep connection to music. A long-time collaborator of the late Ram Dass, East Forest's work seamlessly integrates shamanistic practices with guided psychedelic experiences. These experiences create safe spaces where participants can confront their pain and fears, rediscover hope, and reconnect with their inner selves. For over 15 years, East Forest (Krishna-Trevor Oswalt) has been a thought leader and a grounded voice in the wellness landscape, guiding listeners through long-form compositions that resonate in diverse settings—from community yoga classes to luxury retreats. As the cultural conversation around psychedelics shifts towards mainstream acceptance, with headlines on decriminalization and groundbreaking studies, East Forest’s music has become the go-to soundtrack for this emerging era of exploration and transformation. His multidisciplinary work spans ceremonial concerts, collaborations with Johns Hopkins University's Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research (particularly the neuroaesthetics project), serving as faculty at Esalen, leading meditations, and speaking engagements worldwide. He is also the co-founder of JourneySpace, a platform dedicated to guided psychedelic experiences. As the entertainment industry takes note of the psychedelic renaissance, East Forest’s innovative approach to combining music and sound with personal transformation is leading the way. His work offers not only meditations, retreats, and a weekly podcast (Ten Laws w/ East Forest) but also continues to push the boundaries of how art and science can intersect to create profound healing.

Today on Sense of Soul we have David Hulse. David holds a Doctorate of Divinity Degree from the American Institute of Holistic Theology, certification in Pastoral Psychology, and is the author of "Take Another Look: A Scriptural Review of Traditional Christian Doctrines"; God on Assignment as YOU and “A Fork in the Road.” He is a vibrant spiritual guide who bridges traditional doctrines with contemporary spiritual insights. David has decades of experience as a minister, teacher, author, and healer, and has journeyed from a fundamentalist Christian upbringing to an inclusive spiritual vista that champions love over fear. In his earlier years, David's spiritual awakening was ignited by a profound spiritual encounter that led him to reexamine his inherited beliefs and recognize the divine as truths veiled in parables, not confined to literal interpretations. This "cellular awakening" revealed the potential intelligence in human cells, redefining his perception of divinity and humanity's interconnectedness. David is the Founder and Spiritual Guide at the Academy for Spiritual Awakening where his teachings weave together diverse spiritual traditions with modern scientific insights, inspiring individuals to move beyond mere belief in God toward experiencing the divine within themselves. He integrates wisdom from spiritual avatars across ages, emphasizing the co-creative, transformative power of aligning with divine consciousness through prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Dedicated to challenging conventional religious dogmas, David offers a message of unconditional love, inclusivity, the power of gnosis: direct knowledge from Source. David's teachings uniquely "bridge the gap" between a 3D material world and a 5D spiritual awakening, guiding individuals on a transformative journey toward higher consciousness. He calls upon light workers to embrace their roles as co-creators in this shift, helping humanity transcend the limitations of the 3D matrix. David empowers people to embody their true spiritual potential, fostering a global spiritual evolution. https://www.davidhulse.com https://somaenergetics.com https://www.davidhulse.com https://somaenergetics.com https://youtube.com/@heartlightspiritualcenter www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

Today on Sense of Soul we have Jon Chandonnet, he was on the fast track to success, earning his master's from MIT and leading teams to develop software to launch startups, while also scaling mountain peaks and running marathons. But at 33, his life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For years, Jon lived in denial, ignoring his condition as he pushed himself to even greater extremes. Eventually, his health deteriorated, forcing him to embark on an eight-year journey to understand life's essential elements for vibrant well-being despite his illness. His book Shadow Summit chronicles this inspiring odyssey through denial, suffering, and ultimately healing and wholeness. On this quest, Jon identified seven foundational elements for creating one's healthiest, most fulfilled life. Drawing on his software background, he realized humans, like computers, process daily inputs that shape their outputs. Jon distilled these insights into the 7 VIBRANTs™ well-being system, a holistic framework to mindfully curate the inputs we receive through food, thoughts, emotions and social interactions. This allows anyone to naturally cultivate the vibrant life they desire with greater focus, persistence, joy and ease. Jon is also the author of Shadow Summit, an incredible story of Jon's journey through denial and suffering, to a vibrant life of love, healing, and wholeness that he was determined to make possible. MS knocked Jon down, but it didn't knock him out. It motivated him to become more conscious and intentional about life. Putting into practice his learnings about diet, exercise and spirituality, Jon has reversed his symptoms. Available on here on Amazon. www.vibrantuacademy.com www.senseofsoulpodcast.com
