S1 E8 - What is Derailing Your Efforts to Manifest Your Desires? - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
Participants explore pivotal questions on the path of conscious creation:
• How does time influence manifestation?
• How do the beliefs and energy of others impact your ability to manifest?
• What do you do when you believe — but fear still rises up?
• Where are you in your understanding of manifestation? What are you practicing?
Together, the group unpacks these questions with honesty and curiosity, learning how to navigate doubt, stay aligned with personal truth, and hold vibrational integrity even when external influences challenge it. Jan offers grounded spiritual tools and energetic perspectives to support each person’s evolution.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that manifestation is not just a technique — it is a practice of courage, clarity, and returning to your highest vibration again and again.
This is the seventh gathering in the Manifesting Miracles series — a bi-monthly global community dedicated to conscious manifestation, personal transformation, and aligned living. Participants from around the world come together to shift their inner landscape so their outer world can change in powerful, meaningful ways.
As always, Jan Engels-Smith anchors the session with the foundational truth of this work:
If you want your life — and the world — to change, the shift begins within you.
Manifestation unfolds when your energy matches what you desire to call in.
With over 30 years of experience in shamanism and intentional manifestation, Jan creates a space where wisdom, curiosity, vulnerability, and spiritual growth meet. This session includes lively discussion, real-life examples, deep reflection, and supportive guidance.

In this episode, Jan and Micah take an inspired deep dive into the art and energy of intention.

S1 E6 - Parallel Realities, Shamanism, and Quantum Mechanics - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
This session centers on the powerful role beliefs play in shaping reality — especially around money. Participants share personal stories about the ways limiting beliefs blocked their desires, and how transforming those beliefs created new opportunities and outcomes.
Key topics include:
• How faulty beliefs interrupt manifestation
• Real-life examples of belief shifts and the results that followed
• Understanding money as energy rather than a fixed resource
• How your money beliefs respond to your inner frequency
• The impact of family money beliefs — and how to stay aligned when others aren't
• What to do if you were raised in poverty — and how to rewrite those energetic patterns
• Practical ways to instill new, expansive beliefs around financial abundance
This episode is an empowering deep dive into financial energy, personal history, and the spiritual work of rewriting your relationship with money so it becomes a supportive, flowing force rather than a source of fear or limitation.
This is the sixth gathering in the Manifesting Miracles series — a bi-monthly global community committed to conscious manifestation and personal transformation. Participants from around the world bring their intentions to shift careers, relationships, health, and finances, while learning the energetic principles that make true change possible.
As always, Jan Engels-Smith reminds us of the foundation of manifestation:
To change your life — and the world — you must first shift within.
Your energy must match the reality you want to create.
With over 30 years of experience in shamanism and energetic manifestation, Jan guides this session with teaching, open discussion, and supportive insights.

SS1 E5 - Beliefs and How They Control Your Life - Manifesting Miracles
JHost: Jan Engels-Smith
Jan explores foundational truths about belief, energy, and the realities we operate in:
• Beliefs shape your life — they are the blueprint of your experience
• Energy can shift instantly — when intention and belief align
• Manifestation flows from your inner truth — not effort alone
• We live in multiple realities — the physical 3D world and the energetic reality revealed in meditation, ceremony, and expanded awareness
• Patterns reveal your limiting beliefs — learn to recognize the loop that pulls you back into limitation
• Intention sets energy in motion — clarity creates momentum
• Your soul requires maintenance — tending your energetic body is spiritual hygiene
Through teaching, discussion, and Q&A, Jan offers guidance on how to break free from belief patterns that keep you anchored in 3D limitations and step into the realm of possibility, potential, and aligned creation.
This episode invites you to examine your beliefs, choose conscious intention, and honor your soul’s energetic well-being — the foundation of true manifestation.
This is the fifth gathering in the Manifesting Miracles series — a bi-monthly global community dedicated to conscious manifestation and spiritual growth. Participants from around the world come together to transform their lives in meaningful ways: in career, relationships, health, and finances.

If you want your life — and the world — to change, you must change from within.
You must become an energetic match for what you desire.
With over three decades of experience as a shamanic teacher and practitioner, Jan Engels-Smith shares wisdom, energetic principles, and practical tools to help you shift your internal belief systems and align with your soul’s potential.

S1 E4 - Raising Your Vibration: Using Shamanic Wisdom to Embrace Your Divine Truth - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
This episode of the Manifesting Miracles series continues our bi-monthly global circle dedicated to conscious transformation and intentional living. Participants join from around the world to explore how to create more fulfillment, connection, and purpose in their lives — starting from within.
In this gathering, Jan Engels-Smith explores how shamanic principles can help you live a more aligned and joyful life by shifting the energy you carry each day. Negative emotions like anger, frustration, or resentment don’t just change your mood — they lower your vibration and pull you out of alignment with your highest self.
Instead of treating these emotions as failures, Jan teaches us to view them as invitations. When seen as catalysts for growth, they can help us release limiting beliefs, dissolve energetic blocks, and step more fully into our soul’s coherence and perfection.
Jan explains how to work with shamanic tools — including energy practices, reflective awareness, and intentional language — to change the patterns that keep you stuck. As you explore the connection between wounds and gifts, she shares three powerful metaphysical principles:
What you energize multiplies
What dominates your thoughts strengthens
What you believe becomes your reality
When low-frequency beliefs enter the energetic system — including the chakras — they distort our broadcast and shape unwanted outcomes. Through awareness, release, and intentional re-alignment, we can transform these patterns and return to a balanced, empowered state of being.
This episode offers spiritual insight, grounded practices, and encouragement for anyone ready to shift their inner world — and watch their external world transform in response.

S1 E3 - Whole-Brain Living & Expanding Human Potential - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
This episode is the third gathering in the Manifesting Miracles series — a bi-monthly global Zoom community dedicated to conscious manifestation and personal transformation. Participants from around the world come together to shift their lives in meaningful ways: career, relationships, health, and finances.
In this episdoes, Jan explores the idea that many of us operate from a left-brain-dominated state — analytical, linear, and conditioned to logic above all else. While useful, this mode alone can limit our creativity, intuition, and ability to manifest change.
Jan discusses:
• The functions and tendencies of left-brain-dominant living
• How societal conditioning reinforces imbalance
• The “magic” of right-brain activation — intuition, creativity, and energetic perception
• How integrating both hemispheres supports powerful manifestation
• Practical ways to awaken and embody your whole brain
• How whole-brain living leads to harmony, alignment, and expanded possibility
This conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn’t only about mindset — it’s about expanding how we perceive, feel, and experience the world. When both hemispheres of the brain work together, we become more aligned with our purpose, more capable of co-creation, and more attuned to the frequencies of what we seek to call in.
Jan once again returns to the foundational truth at the heart of this work: If you want the world to change — if you want your life to change — you must first shift within.
Manifestation begins with becoming an energetic match for what you desire.
With over 30 years of expertise in shamanism and intentional manifestation, Jan offers guidance, teaching, and heartfelt answers to participant questions. Her approach blends ancient spiritual wisdom with modern energetic understanding.

S1 E2 - Creation Laws of Attraction - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
This is the second gathering in the Manifesting Miracles series — a bi-monthly global community call for people ready to reshape their lives through conscious manifestation. Participants from around the world join to cultivate change in the areas that matter most: career, relationships, health, and finances.
In this episode, Jan expands on the core principle introduced in the first session:
If you want the world to change — if you want your life to change — you must first shift from within.
Transformation happens when you become an energetic match for what you desire.
With over 30 years of teaching experience in shamanism and intentional manifestation, Jan offers grounded wisdom, practical tools, and compassionate insight. She teaches, shares stories, and responds to questions from participants in real time.
Key topics in this episode include:
• Free will vs. manifestation — how they interact, not compete
• Tips for aligning your energy with your goals
• Understanding vibrational resonance:
– Anger attracts fatigue and disappointment
– Hatred attracts rage and violence
– Appreciation attracts love and generosity
– Gratitude attracts harmony and connection
• Why you cannot trick energy — your feelings must match your words
• How to identify energetic blocks and shift them with awareness and practice
Jan reminds us that manifestation isn’t about performance — it’s about coherence. You can’t speak abundance while vibrating with fear. You can’t call in love while holding resentment. And you can’t create peace while cultivating inner conflict.
This is a gentle yet powerful invitation to align your emotions, beliefs, and intentions so that life can meet you at the level you are calling it in.

S1 E1 - The Foundation for Meaningful Manifestation - Manifesting Miracles
Host: Jan Engels-Smith
Manifesting Miracles kicks off a bi-monthly global gathering dedicated to conscious creation and personal transformation. Participants from around the world join these live Zoom sessions with one shared intention: to shift their lives — in career, relationships, health, and finances — by shifting their energy.
In this first episode, Jan lays the foundation for meaningful manifestation. With over 30 years of teaching experience in shamanism and intentional living, she shares core principles that go far beyond trend-based “manifesting hacks.” This isn’t about wishing — it’s about energetic alignment, emotional integrity, and becoming the person who can naturally receive what you desire.
As Jan reminds us: If you want the world to change, if you want your life to change, you must change from within.
Manifestation isn’t magic; it’s resonance.
Through teachings, discussion, and thoughtful Q&A, Jan guides listeners to:
• Understand what it means to become an energetic match for your desires
• Recognize the internal shifts required to create external results
• Harmonize shamanic wisdom with practical manifestation tools
• Build a mindset and energetic foundation that supports ongoing growth
Whether you’re new to manifestation or deepening your practice, this episode offers grounded wisdom, soulful insight, and actionable guidance to help you step into the life you’re ready for — one conscious choice at a time.
