S1 E35 - Breath, Belief & The Quiet Power of Kindness - Manifesting Miracles

Manifesting Miracles Host: Jan Engels-Smith

In this heartfelt gathering, Jan opens with a guided, intentional-breathing practice—inviting listeners to “bring in the new, let go of the old,” and to embody gratitude as a felt sensation rather than a thought. What follows is a living conversation about raising personal vibration through small, consistent acts: smiles to strangers, opening a door, pausing to notice beauty, stepping outside, and using simple cues—chimes, post-it notes, repeating numbers, crystals, even a watch set to buzz—to return to presence.

Community stories flow: how kindness disarms polarization, why connection dissolves loneliness, and how neighborhood resilience emerges after storms. Jan frames adversity through a shamanic lens—dismemberment that precedes renewal—and revisits the Medicine Wheel as a spiral of growth.

Manifestation is grounded in practice: match your inner broadcast (gratitude, coherence, love) with your intentions, and train focus with imagination and daily reminders. A thoughtful Q&A explores health worries, “blind beliefs,” and the Course in Miracles idea that there is no hierarchy in healing. The episode closes with a practical 21-day challenge to anchor new habits and become the “new, healed self.”

Episode highlights

  • Guided breathwork to reset and embody gratitude
  • Tiny acts of kindness as exponential vibration-raisers
  • Community, connection, and the antidote to loneliness
  • The Medicine Wheel: moving from event to meaning to growth
  • Manifestation = imagination + focus + felt gratitude
  • Shamanic view of illness: finding and changing “blind beliefs”
  • A simple two-week/21-day practice to lock in new habits

Perfect for anyone ready to step off the hamster wheel, re-center in love, and recreate themselves—quietly, consistently, and together.

 

Manifesting Miracles is a bi-monthly gathering on Zoom that brings together participants from around the world who are committed to creating positive change in their lives—whether in careers, relationships, health, or finances.

Each session begins with Jan sharing the most essential teachings on conscious manifestation. Her core message: If you want the world to change—or your circumstances to change—you must first change within. You must become an energetic match for what you desire.

Drawing from over 30 years of teaching experience, Jan offers her wisdom in intentional manifestation and shamanism. Every gathering is interactive, with Jan teaching, guiding discussions, and answering participant questions.

S1 E34 - Soul Retrieval: Reclaiming Divine Essence - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast

LightSong Talking Stick Co-hosts Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader

In this heartfelt and illuminating episode, Jan Engels-Smith, founder of the LightSong School of 21st Century Shamanism, joins host Micah Schwader to explore one of the most profound and ancient shamanic healing practices: Soul Retrieval.

Jan begins with a beautiful invocation—an invitation to call home the scattered parts of ourselves that may have become lost through conflict, trauma, or simply the busyness of life. From there, she guides listeners through a rich, grounded explanation of soul loss and retrieval, bridging ancient shamanic understanding with modern psychology.

Together, Jan and Micah discuss what it means to “maintenance the soul,” how illness and emotional distress can stem from energetic dissonance, and why the reclamation of our own divine essence is essential to personal healing. Jan shares her decades of experience performing soul retrievals, describing the ceremony, preparation, and aftercare with deep reverence—and Micah reflects on two of his own transformative retrievals, including one that coincided with his transgender awakening.

Their conversation flows from the deeply personal to the universally spiritual: from the practical ways we can call ourselves back each day, to the vision of a worldwide soul retrieval—a collective healing for humanity and the Earth itself.

 Highlights include:

  • Guided invocation to call your energy home
  • What “soul loss” looks like in daily life
  • The connection between energy, illness, and wholeness
  • The role of divine timing in healing
  • Jan’s stories of working with ancient traditions and modern seekers
  • Micah’s powerful reflections on identity, presence, and personal transformation

A tender, insightful episode for anyone drawn to spiritual healing, self-integration, or the art of living with more light and connection.

Listen in and reclaim the parts of yourself that have been waiting to come home.

S1 E33 - Aligning with the Divine - Manifesting Miracles

Host: Jan Engels-Smith

In this inspiring episode of Manifesting Miracles, Jan Engels-Smith invites listeners into a circle of spiritual connection, intention, and healing. Opening with a powerful invocation, Jan guides participants into heart-centered awareness—a space where the logical mind softens and divine alignment begins.

Through storytelling and deep dialogue, Jan shares the legendary tale of a shaman in Machu Picchu who extinguished raging fires not through action, but by finding perfect inner alignment. From this sacred teaching, the conversation expands into practical and spiritual lessons on how inner harmony transforms outer reality.

Listeners are drawn into heartfelt exchanges exploring topics such as:

·       • The power of alignment and trust as tools for manifestation.

·       • Transmuting negativity into light, using intention rather than fear.

·       • Pre-creating experiences through conscious energy work and belief.

·       • Living unwoundable—releasing judgment and holding compassion even in chaos.

·       • Grace, divine timing, and trust during illness and challenge.

·       • Miracles in motion, including real stories of weather shifts and healing energy.

As participants share their personal breakthroughs—ranging from navigating relationships to transforming fear into empowerment—the circle becomes a living testimony of spiritual practice in action.

Jan closes the session with warmth and gratitude, reminding listeners that we are divine beings with the power to shape reality through love, trust, and energetic awareness.

S1 E32 - Hidden Beliefs & the Power of Frequency - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast

Attention: There is an error in the advertisement for Recreate Yourself in this recording.  The correct name of the course is: Recreate Yourself: Become a Quantum Human and Live in True Freedom. Taught Live Oct 5, 2025 but available On Demand at anytime.  https://www.lightsong.net/recreate-yourself/

Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader

In this heart-opening conversation, hosts Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore how our blind or unseen beliefs quietly shape our lives—and how to uncover and transform them.

The episode begins with a grounding invocation, guiding listeners through breath, light, and chakra cleansing to create a sacred container for exploration. From there, Jan and Micah dive into the ways “blind beliefs” and “but statements” sneak into our subconscious, affecting prosperity, self-worth, and even our ability to manifest what we desire.

Through stories, shamanic insights, and practical tools, they reveal how beliefs are stored in the body, broadcast through our energy field, and mirrored back through our experiences. They discuss journaling, shamanic storytelling, and the power of gratitude as keys to rewriting those patterns and embodying new truths.

Whether you’re curious about shamanism, exploring your spiritual growth, or looking for practical ways to shift stuck patterns, this conversation offers guidance, resonance, and hope.

Highlights:

  • Guided invocation to align with the quantum field
  • The hidden role of “blind beliefs” in shaping reality
  • Why affirmations sometimes backfire—and what to do instead
  • Using writing and shamanic journeying as tools for soul retrieval
  • Gratitude as one of the highest, most sustainable frequencies
