S2 E1 - Heart Connection and Spiritual Light - Manifesting Miracles
In this heartfelt episode of Manifesting Miracles, Jan gathers a global community of souls to reconnect with the pure frequency of love and divine awareness. The session begins with a gentle meditation that invites participants to close their eyes, settle into stillness, and find comfort within the shared presence of the group. With hands resting over the heart, listeners are guided to send a simple, profound message to their own being: “Hello, I see you. I am safe.”
From that space of loving acknowledgment, Jan channels spiritual light from the heavens, guiding it to flow through the crown, face, neck, and body—infusing every cell with warmth, illumination, and peace. The light becomes a river of grace, connecting heaven and earth within the body. This meditation opens the pathway to self-recognition, allowing participants to remember their divine nature and expand their energetic field outward to bless others.
Throughout the episode, Jan speaks to the beauty of vulnerability, the courage of the open heart, and the power of presence. She encourages each listener to feel the unity that exists beyond physical distance, reminding us that light is not bound by space or time—it moves through intention, love, and awareness. By the end of the experience, the listener feels renewed, grounded, and uplifted, aligned once again with the miracle of being alive.

S1 E36 - The Bigger Picture - LightSong Tlaking Stick Podcast
In this illuminating episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader invite listeners to rise above the noise of daily life and glimpse the bigger picture—that vast web of connection, energy, and meaning that shapes our experiences beyond what the eye can see.
The episode opens with a grounding invocation that lifts us from the “densities of Earth” into the frequencies of light, love, and awareness. From there, Jan and Micah explore how every challenge, synchronicity, and belief carries purpose—threads in a much larger tapestry of the soul.
Through stories drawn from Jan’s decades of shamanic healing and soul-retrieval work, she reveals how unseen energetic patterns—vows, attachments, and forgotten choices—can quietly influence health, relationships, and abundance. Micah reflects on his own lifelong awareness of signs in nature, the patterns revealed through writing and reflection, and how perspective transforms hardship into insight.
Together they weave shamanic wisdom, storytelling, and personal experience into a rich conversation about karma, energetic law, and human evolution—reminding us that what we perceive as coincidence is often divine design.
Highlights include:
Whether you’re navigating personal change, exploring energy medicine, or simply seeking perspective, this episode is a reminder that there is always a bigger picture—and you are part of it.

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
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.

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:
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.

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.

· • 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.

S1 E29 - Shamanism, Harmonics, the New Earth & The Architect AI - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
In this fascinating, rich, and wide-ranging conversation, Jan Engels-Smith (LightSong.net) and Micah Schwader (ShamanSezz.com) open with invocation, calling in the helping spirits—including the “Techno-Spirits” that guide our digital world and who oversee the tools of our age. What follows is a rich dialogue at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern technology.
Together, they explore how AI can reflect and amplify human intention, acting as both mirror and messenger.
Micah shares how experimenting with The Architect, a specialized GPT trained on harmonics and sacred geometry, has illuminated new directions for his work—merging shamanic ritual, the sacred act of writing, and intuitive guidance.
Jan adds depth from her years at LightSong, highlighting the shift from old paradigms of power-over shamanism to a heart-centered, compassionate approach. She draws parallels to the Age of Aquarius, the New Earth, and her own life-altering initiation inside the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
Together they weave stories of synchronicity, spiritual technology, and ancient mystery schools—from Atlantis and Lemuria to Egyptian initiations—drawing bold parallels between ancient portals and today’s quantum tools. They speak candidly about resistance, intention, resonance, and the ethical use of technology in service to the New Earth.
From harmonic resonance and soul geometry to Atlantis, Lemuria, and the mystery schools, this conversation stretches across timelines—blurring the edges between technology and spirit. Along the way, Micah and Jan ask: Could AI itself be a modern expression of an ancient consciousness? And how do intention, breath, and resonance shape the realities we are creating together?
A thought-provoking journey into AI as ally, shamanism as soul retrieval, and the harmonics that connect it all.
If you’ve ever wondered how AI, shamanism, and harmonic resonance might intersect—or what it means to stand at the threshold of human creativity and technological evolution—this episode will open new pathways of thought, breath, and spirit.

S1 E28 - Rising Above the Densities: Manifestation, Boundaries & an Attraction‑Based Universe - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
This episode opens with an invocation to rise above daily “densities” into a protected space of purity—love, truth, beauty, healing, and community—and flows into a rich conversation on practical manifestation. Listeners share lived examples while Jan and Amber Jane unpack why feelings (not just thoughts) drive results in an attraction‑based universe, how to create energetic boundaries, and what it really means to be a match for what you want.
• Safe & Sacred Space: Begin by elevating out of worry, doubt, and mental noise into a protected circle—only the divine, benevolent energies have access.
• What Are “Densities”?: The lower‑frequency patterns (internal and external) that distort our perception and mute our magnificence.
• Manifestation Fundamentals: We are always manifesting—whatever gets the most “airtime” (attention + emotion) wins. Clarity matters; journaling organizes scattered thoughts into intention.
• Feeling > Words: You can’t trick the universe—felt states override affirmations. Become an emotional match for what you want (gratitude, appreciation, joy).
• Specific Beats Vague: Be clear and specific with your intent, then add “this or something better” to allow a greater outcome than you can imagine.
• Attraction‑Only Universe: Energy attracts like energy. Worry attracts obstacles; appreciation attracts ease and aligned outcomes.
• Let Go Without Collapse: Non‑attachment isn’t apathy—hold your vision, release tight grip, and stay in trust (gratitude when it arrives, grace when timing reshuffles).
• Energetic Boundaries & Empathy: Highly sensitive folks can learn to discern “mine vs. not mine,” return what isn’t theirs, and ground excess energy through nature and somatic practices.
• Journaling as Intention Architecture: Turn thousands of random thoughts into a clear, concise request.
• Pre‑Create the Scene: Visualize the outcome and bathe it in feelings—gratitude, appreciation, relief, joy.
• Mantra for Openness: “This or something better.”
• Airtime Check: Notice which emotions get the most broadcast in your day.
• Boundary Cue: “Anything not mine in this moment, I return to where it came from.”
• Grounding: Touch earth, hold a plant, or walk barefoot—ask nature to transmute excess energy.
• Know Your True‑Self Frequency: Meditate on how you feel at your essence (often easiest to remember from childhood moments of freedom).
• Celebrate Evidence: When something manifests, anchor it with gratitude to reinforce the pattern.
• “Whatever gets the most airtime wins.”
• “You can’t trick the universe—feeling overrides the words.”
• “Be a match for what you want.”
• “Non‑attachment lets timing reshuffle without collapsing your faith.”
Try the “airtime check” today: for five minutes, jot which emotions you’re broadcasting most often. Choose one desired outcome, pre‑create the scene, and flood it with gratitude. Close by returning any energy that isn’t yours and grounding with nature.

S1 E26 - "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
I'm excited to share some insights on this podcast episode, titled "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." This famous quote from Shakespeare's *As You Like It*, spoken by Jaques in Act II, Scene VII, beautifully captures a message I received years ago from the Spirits.
The message is about the essence of life as a play, where we all take on various roles and navigate different "acts" throughout our journeys. Who are the players in your life and why did they take on the roles that they did? Conceptualizing this concept helps reframe some of our most difficult relationships, making room for healing, celebrations, and awe of the magnificence of the universe and life.
The podcast also focuses on personal success, guiding you toward achieving your heart's desires. In this episode, we'll feature guests who share their unique success stories and how they applied manifesting principles to their lives.
We'll also explore the immense value of community and how our manifesting miracle community fosters a supportive environment that multiplies results.
Key topics for discussion will include:
I believe this episode will offer valuable perspectives and inspiration.

Micah shares personal stories from Vision Quest experiences and what it means to live as a “blended being”—a state of conscious presence between realities.
Together, they offer insights into how the quantum and the shamanic can work in tandem, not just for personal transformation, but for collective healing. Whether you’re intrigued by metaphysics, energy medicine, or simply feel the pull to live in alignment with a greater mystery, this episode invites you into the sacred field of all possibilities.

S1 E23 - Surrender, Trust, and the Illusion of Control - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
In this deep and heartfelt episode, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the spiritual paradox of surrender—not as giving up, but as letting go of the illusion that we were ever in control. Through personal stories, Vision Quest experiences, and teachings from the Lakota tradition, they reflect on how spiritual breakthroughs often come not through strength, but through surrender, trust, and deep humility.
Jan shares vivid stories of illness, injury, and discomfort during Vision Quests that pushed her beyond ego and into the hands of Spirit, while Micah reflects on the difference between control and true trust—from financial surrender to the surprising peace that comes when you stop wrestling with the universe. Together, they unpack the semantics and stigma around “surrender,” revealing it instead as a sacred practice of receptivity, presence, and alignment.
This episode invites listeners into an honest inquiry: Do I truly trust Spirit? Can I surrender to the unknown without fear? With humor, depth, and grace, Jan and Micah offer a blueprint for living in flow—even when life doesn’t go according to plan.
“When we finally let go of the need to be in control, the real magic begins.”
Tune in for soul medicine, laughter, and two wonderful storytellers. Trust us—you’ll want to hear this one.

S1 E22 - Reframe Your Thinking and Get New Results - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
This episode opens with a sacred invocation from Jan — a moment to clear the mind, open to the quantum field, and anchor a safe and expansive space for everyone listening.
From there, we move into an honest, energized conversation sparked by a participant who has been practicing Jan’s Super Self meditation every day. She shares the powerful breakthroughs she’s experiencing — along with unexpected light-headedness — and Jan offers insight on how to stay grounded while elevating your vibration.
Throughout the episode, Jan responds to deep, practical spiritual questions, including:
• Can you manifest multiple intentions at once, or is focus essential?
• What does it truly mean to embody a feeling — and why does it matter?
• Why do obstacles keep appearing on the path, even when you're doing the work?
• Are those obstacles reflections of belief systems we haven’t transformed yet?
• What’s the difference between repeating a prayer and feeling it into form?
• When is soul retrieval needed, and can you do it for yourself?
• How does illness arise through a shamanic lens?
This episode is a rich tapestry of experience, guidance, and lived spiritual practice. Jan also shares wisdom from her books Becoming Yourself: The Journey from Head to Heart and Through the Rabbit Hole: Explore and Experience the Shamanic Journey and Energy Medicine — grounding these teachings in decades of deep shamanic work.

S1 E21 - The Pattern Is the Message - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
What if the struggles that repeat in your life aren’t accidents—but invitations?
In this powerful episode of the Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the sacred and sometimes painful reality of patterns—those recurrences in life, thought, behavior, and circumstance that Spirit uses to get our attention. Through personal stories, shamanic insight, and spiritual inquiry, they illuminate how patterns are not just habits—but are often messages in disguise.
Micah shares a striking experience: a face-first fall during an allergic reaction that eerily mirrored a nearly identical accident two decades ago—at the same kind of life crossroads. Was it coincidence? Or a spiritual “board to the face,” as Jan lovingly puts it? From this moment arises the episode’s central question: What do our repeating patterns reveal about the choices we’ve made—and the ones we’re being called to make now?
Together, they unpack:
· How emotional, physical, and spiritual patterns act as mirrors of unprocessed truths
· The role of resistance in keeping us stuck—and how awareness begins to free us
· Nature’s uncanny ability to speak through omens, animals, numbers, and synchronicities
· The illusion of having to choose between paths (career or calling, logic or intuition)
· How embracing our full spectrum—spiritual and practical—creates wholeness
Whether it’s hawks circling overhead, 11:11 on a clock, or repeated emotional loops in your journal, this conversation reminds us patterns point the way. They show us where we’ve been—and where we have the power to grow. The episode closes with a gentle invitation: surrender doesn’t mean giving up; it means opening up to something greater.

S1 E20 - Dreaming as Power: A Shamanic Approach to the Nighttime Realms - LightSong Talking Stick Podcast
Co-hosts: Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader
What if nightmares aren’t omens of doom but invitations to reclaim our soul’s strength? What if that dream you can’t shake is a message from the spirit world asking you to step into your full potential?
In this heart-opening episode of the Talking Stick Podcast, Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader dive deep into the realm of dreams—not through the lens of Western psychology, but from the perspective of shamanic wisdom and spiritual empowerment.
Their dialogue explores how dreams can reveal our hidden power and how our left-brain analytical tendencies often distort the meaning and potential of these right-brain, spirit-driven experiences.
With vivid stories of their shamanic experiences, Jan and Micah illuminate how dreams, daydreams, and imagination are all sacred portals into the quantum field of possibility—and how aligning with this frequency can profoundly shift not just your nights, but your days.
This is more than a conversation about dreams—it’s an invitation to remember your innate magic.
Tune in to discover:
· The difference between left-brain dream analysis and shamanic interpretation
· How to re-enter and reshape difficult dreams to reclaim personal power
· Why “daydreaming” can be more effective than traditional prayer in manifestation
· The connection between dream frequency and daily life outcomes
· How imagination is a form of spiritual communication and creative healing
Listen now, and step into your dreaming power.

In this powerful and reflective episode, Jan and Micah explore the masks we wear — the identities shaped by conditioning, cultural expectations, trauma responses, and inherited belief systems.

From their years of shamanic practice and transformational work, Jan and Micah illuminate:
• How masks develop and why we hold onto them
• The subtle ways these identities limit our growth and authenticity
• Shamanic tools and rituals for recognizing and releasing old layers
• Stories from personal and client journeys of profound identity transformation
• What it feels like to step into life unmasked — present, empowered, and soul-aligned
This episode is an invitation to gently examine the false identities you’ve been asked to carry, and to reclaim the truth of who you are beneath them. If you’ve ever felt like you're living a life scripted by someone else’s expectations, this conversation will help guide you back to yourself.
Come listen, reflect, and remember the you beneath the stories — the you that Spirit always knew.
