It was one of those conversations that changes the way you see the world. On today's episode, Asil Toksal walked us through the labyrinth of his spiritual awakening—a journey that began not with a whisper from the divine but with the roar of dissatisfaction in an otherwise "successful" life. What stood out most was his faith—not in something external, but in the power of consciousness itself, unfolding moment by moment.Before stepping into the realm of channeling angelic beings, Asil's life was rooted in the structured logic of engineering and the relentless pace of digital marketing. He shared, "I was living someone else's dream life," a revelation sparked during an expat stint in Singapore. That epiphany led him to burn the metaphorical boats and leap into the unknown. For Asil, faith became an anchor in the stormy seas of transformation.His connection with the Elohim—an angelic collective—and Emmanuel, a compassionate ambassador of higher consciousness, wasn’t instantaneous. It required surrender, trust, and an unwavering commitment to the spiritual path. Asil described his first encounter with Emmanuel in a fog-drenched Redwood forest, an event that transformed his understanding of himself and his purpose. "You are finally ready," Emmanuel had said, opening a doorway to a role Asil had agreed to play 3,000 years ago.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS:Faith Within Yourself: Asil emphasized that the most terrifying yet empowering form of faith is believing in your own capacity as a creator. "When you put the power in somebody else's hands, it’s comfortable, but the real growth comes when you anchor that power within yourself."The Earth's Support System: Through his work, Asil and his guides actively maintain Earth's energetic grid, ensuring humanity has a foundational support system during this accelerated awakening process.Expanded Consciousness: Asil explained how each human is more than their identity in this lifetime, describing us as "soul containers" carrying experiences across dimensions and lifetimes. This awareness, he shared, leads to a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness and the divine intelligence at play.The conversation explored not just the mechanics of channeling but its purpose. Asil described channeling as more than just transmitting messages; it’s a profound energetic alignment that benefits anyone open to it, even through digital mediums. He likened it to being a "pillar of light," a steady beacon for those navigating turbulent waters.Our exchange also delved into humanity’s collective awakening, a process marked by exponential growth and unpredictability. "We are at the precipice of maturation," Asil remarked, his voice resonating with hope. He painted a vision of Earth not just as a planet but as a conscious being, supporting and evolving alongside us.In the end, Asil left us with a challenge disguised as a gift: to embrace the unknown and trust in our infinite potential. It’s not an easy path, but as he reminded us, “When someone’s consciousness isn’t ready, they won’t even be able to hear you.” The journey inward is ours to take, one step of faith at a time.Please enjoy my conversation with Asil Toksal.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Life often unfolds in ways we could scarcely imagine, weaving paths that connect science and spirit, intellect and intuition. Shehnaz Soni, our guest on today’s episode, exemplifies this wondrous dance. As a NASA aerospace engineer and a quantum coach, she navigates the intersection of high-tech innovation and metaphysical insight, proving that these realms are not separate but two sides of the same coin. Her story is one of unshakable courage, relentless curiosity, and a fearless embrace of the unknown.Imagine growing up in a culture that limits your questions, a world where inquiry is stifled, and possibilities feel boxed in by tradition. Yet, from a young age, Shehnaz was an outlier, a seeker of truths that no one dared to ask. "If you're questioning it, it's because it is questionable," she tells us. It is this inherent defiance, this determination to understand life’s mysteries, that propelled her from the shores of Karachi, Pakistan, to the cutting-edge laboratories of NASA.Her journey is a masterclass in transformation. As Shehnaz recounts, she arrived in the United States at 21, speaking little English and bound by the constraints of an arranged marriage. But adversity, rather than discouraging her, became her greatest teacher. Her ability to adapt, learn, and persevere led her to a career where she’s not only building the technology of tomorrow but also challenging the paradigms of today. She shares with us how working on projects like the International Space Station and the Artemis Moon mission has expanded her understanding of what it means to bridge science and spirituality.In one particularly poignant moment, Shehnaz reflects on her near-death experience at the age of 12—a moment that reshaped her worldview forever. Pulled into the depths of the ocean and on the verge of drowning, she recalls the life review she experienced: “It was like watching a movie of my life, rewinding all the way back to the womb.” This event, she believes, set her on a path of fearless living, free from the fear of death, and imbued her with the clarity to see beyond life’s illusions.Her spiritual awakening didn’t just fuel her personal growth; it also gave her the courage to challenge societal norms. Despite her demanding role at NASA, Shehnaz devotes herself to raising consciousness, teaching others about the interplay of quantum physics and spirituality. "We are here to live at our highest potential," she says, emphasizing that our limitations are often self-imposed. Her message is clear: we are all capable of creating our own playgrounds of possibility.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSQuestion Everything: Trust your intuition, especially when something feels off. As Shehnaz advises, “Honor the red flags you sense—they’re nudges guiding you to greater awareness.”Integrate Creativity and Logic: Shehnaz speaks about balancing her creative and logical sides, allowing each to enhance the other. “The more creative you become, the quicker you solve problems,” she explains.Life Happens for You, Not to You: Shifting this perspective, as Shehnaz suggests, allows us to see obstacles as stepping stones, not barriers.As our conversation wraps up, one thing becomes abundantly clear: Shehnaz’s life is a testament to the power of embracing dualities. She thrives in a world where rockets and algorithms coexist with meditations and metaphysical musings. Her journey invites us to do the same, to embrace the richness of our multidimensional selves, and to live courageously, unapologetically, and fully.Please enjoy my conversation with Shehnaz Soni.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Life, as we know it, is a canvas draped in the unknown, and within that uncertainty lies the secret beauty of our human journey. On today's episode, we welcome Bree Melanson, a gifted channeler who invites us to step into the fullness of who we truly are. With her unique ability to connect with higher consciousness, Bree guides us through the very fabric of existence—a dance between the seen and unseen, the tangible and the divine.Bree’s story begins in the most relatable way—a quiet knowing buried beneath years of conditioned doubt. She shares how, as a child, her intuition was alive, vivid, and undeniable, yet it was tucked away when the world failed to affirm it. “Every challenge is an opportunity for you to step forth into who you truly are,” Bree Melanson reminds us, inviting us to embrace life’s struggles as sacred teachers. Her spiritual reawakening came when life nudged her through hardship—her mother’s illness and the deep existential questions it stirred. This path, she reflects, is often paved not with ease, but with a series of whispers asking, Are you ready to return to yourself?What makes Bree’s wisdom extraordinary is her ability to bridge the ethereal with the earthly. As a channel, she becomes a vessel through which higher beings and universal truths flow—truths that remind us of our interconnectedness with all creation. “Have you not been living in the unknown all along?” she asks, shattering our fear of uncertainty. For Bree, the unknown is not a void to dread, but the very space where magic is birthed—where love, creation, and transformation arise.Throughout the conversation, Bree offers an elegant reframe of life’s challenges. Whether we call them energetic blockages or unresolved wounds, they are merely signposts guiding us back to alignment. She teaches us that emotions are not obstacles to overcome, but messengers inviting us to release illusion and embody our most authentic selves. By asking, Is this thought or belief true? we loosen the grip of the ego and reclaim the quiet, boundless wisdom of the soul.Bree also shares practical ways to reconnect with intuition, urging us to follow what lights us up. Intuition, she explains, is not a voice outside of us but the language of our own soul. When we align with what brings joy, harmony, and presence, we naturally attune to our higher selves. “You are never fully out of control,” she reassures us, emphasizing that surrender is not about losing power, but about rediscovering it in partnership with the divine flow.In a profound channeling session, Bree allows higher consciousness to flow through her, delivering messages of hope and remembrance. Humanity, she shares, is on the brink of an awakening—a great restructuring where the old, limiting ways of being fall away. It is a time to turn inward, to nurture the light within, and to recognize that every perceived challenge is an invitation to embody our inherent power. The future, she reminds us, is not something to fear, but something we create through the resonance of our own truth.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSChallenges are sacred opportunities. Every struggle reveals where we are disconnected from our true selves and offers us a path back to wholeness.Intuition is the soul’s language. Follow the things that light you up—they are guiding you toward your most aligned and expansive self.Presence quiets the ego. When we fully inhabit the present moment, suffering dissolves, and our connection to source becomes clear and undeniable.As Bree so eloquently conveys, our journey on this Earth is not about escaping the unknown but about embracing it. The unseen realms are not separate from us; they are waiting to meet us as we expand our awareness and step into the fullness of our being. In this unfolding, we remember who we are: creators, light-bearers, and reflections of the infinite.Please enjoy my conversation with Bree Melanson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In today's enlightening episode, we welcome Jonathan Goldman, a pioneer in the field of sound healing. Jonathan's journey into the world of sound began in the late 1970s, playing rock and roll in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. An epiphany struck him as he observed the negative atmosphere his music contributed to in a club. This realization led him to explore the potential of sound not just to create moods but to heal. Jonathan shares, "The power of the music has to do not only with the frequencies and the sounds but also the energy that is encoded in it. Music and Sound is a carrier of our consciousness." Throughout our conversation, Jonathan delves into the profound connection between sound, frequency, and healing. He introduces us to the concept that everything in the universe is vibration, a notion shared by ancient mystics and modern quantum physicists alike. This understanding forms the foundation of sound healing, which Jonathan has spent decades mastering. Jonathan recounts his early days of sound healing, highlighting the importance of intention. "Frequency plus intent equals healing," he explains. This principle, he discovered, is essential in creating the desired therapeutic effects through sound. He emphasizes that the intention behind the sound is just as critical as the sound itself, a belief reinforced by his extensive research and practice. One of the most intriguing aspects of our discussion is Jonathan's explanation of psychoacoustics and vibroacoustics. While psychoacoustics involves sound affecting the brain and nervous system through the ears, vibroacoustics entails sound penetrating the body at a cellular level, affecting everything from molecules to DNA. This dual approach to sound therapy illustrates the extensive reach of sound's healing potential. We also explore the role of silence in sound healing. "Silence is golden," Jonathan asserts, describing it as the yin to sound's yang. In silence, true shifts and changes occur, allowing the body and mind to integrate and resonate with the healing frequencies. In our conversation, Jonathan Goldman reminds us of the ancient wisdom embedded in sound, urging us to harness this knowledge for healing ourselves and the planet. His insights into the therapeutic power of the hum, a simple yet profound practice, provide a tangible tool for anyone seeking to reduce stress and enhance well-being.Please enjoy my conversation with Jonathan Goldman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

On today’s episode, we welcome Adam Schomer, a filmmaker and seeker of spiritual truth whose journeys into the heart of the Himalayas on a motorcycle defy both logic and fear. Adam’s tale is one of daring exploration, not just across treacherous mountain roads, but deep into the soul’s yearning for meaning and transcendence.Imagine standing at 12,000 feet amidst the majestic expanse of the Himalayas, with the stars overhead illuminating the timelessness of the moment. Adam’s journey began with a simple, yet profound question: "What would it mean to fully surrender to the unknown?" Guided by his guru, Anand Mehrotra, Adam embarked on a motorcycle pilgrimage that not only tested his physical limits but unraveled layers of ego and fear. As Adam puts it, “You can’t take on the Himalayas with your ego; it has to break down.”This wasn’t just an adventure; it was a spiritual gauntlet. For Adam, riding motorcycles in the Himalayas with no prior experience symbolized the ultimate act of letting go. The roads were more suggestion than structure—mud, loose rocks, and sheer drops into the abyss below. Early on, fear gripped him as he anticipated every misstep and imagined the worst. Yet, with Anand’s wisdom echoing in his mind, Adam leaned into faith: “Have more love than fear.”The trip was not without its dangers. Accidents and near-misses forced the group to confront mortality head-on. Adam recalled a pivotal moment, riding in complete darkness, blinded by oncoming headlights, where he thought, “This might be it. Do I want to die clinging to fear?” That realization shifted something fundamental within him. It was a choice to embrace the moment, however precarious, and trust the journey.Throughout the journey, Adam witnessed the unraveling of others in his group as their egos clashed with the relentless challenges of the road. Anand’s teachings, though simple, were transformative: "This isn’t about yoga mats and peace. This is about transcending.” The Himalayas, with their raw beauty and ancient mystique, seemed to amplify these lessons, inviting all who dared to climb into a deeper relationship with themselves.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Himalayas as a Mirror: The mountains reflect our innermost fears and desires. To ascend them is to confront the self, raw and unadorned.The Power of Letting Go: True freedom lies in releasing control and embracing the unpredictability of life.Pilgrimage as Transformation: A spiritual journey reshapes not only how we see the world but how we see ourselves within it.Adam’s story reminds us of the sacred power of pilgrimage—not as a destination but as a process of becoming. The Himalayas may have tested him physically, but the true ascent was an internal one, reaching for higher truths and deeper peace.Please enjoy my conversation with Adam Schomer.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In today’s episode, we embark on a profound journey into the spiritual teachings of David Hoffmeister, a modern-day mystic devoted to living the principles of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM). With a deep resonance of joy and an ever-present radiance of inner peace, David offers wisdom that bridges ancient teachings and contemporary challenges. His essence embodies the transformative power of forgiveness, trust, and divine guidance.We begin with David’s reflection on healing as a “state of perfect love and connectedness.” In his words, “What we’re trying to do is let go of all the interference patterns.” This simple yet profound teaching reminds us of the essential work: releasing the past, surrendering egoic attachments, and aligning with Spirit’s guidance. It is not about changing the external world but shifting our perception from fear to love.A significant part of our discussion delves into the metaphysical depth of ACIM, which David describes as a mind-training program designed to align us with unconditional love. The practice of forgiveness, as he explains, is not about pardoning someone for what they did but recognizing that “they did not do it” in the ultimate spiritual sense. This shift moves us from a place of judgment to a realm of divine understanding—a core tenet of the Course that liberates us from the chains of the past.We also explore the idea of vulnerability as a pathway to healing. Vulnerability, David shares, is about shedding the protective layers of ego, much like peeling an onion, to reveal the authentic self. This process can be both terrifying and liberating. In the documentary "Take Me Home," which David co-produced, participants courageously practiced radical transparency, confronting their deepest fears and shadows. The result? A transformative experience of inner peace and spiritual awakening.Central to David’s teachings is the recognition of our perceptual errors—the illusions we hold about ourselves and the world. He likens these illusions to Plato’s allegory of the cave, where shadows on the wall are mistaken for reality. “We need to step into the light,” he says, urging us to release our attachments to the physical and embrace the spiritual. This perspective not only alleviates personal suffering but also fosters a collective awakening.One of the more striking moments in our conversation was David’s insight into fear and love. “Your real fear is a fear of love,” he explains. At first, this might seem counterintuitive, but as he elaborates, it becomes clear that our fear stems from the unknown—the vast, infinite love of God that challenges our limited, egoic sense of self. The spiritual journey, then, becomes a process of unlearning fear and embracing the divine.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSForgiveness as Liberation: True forgiveness involves recognizing that no harm was ever done in the ultimate reality. This shifts our perception from grievance to gratitude.Vulnerability as Strength: By shedding our protective layers, we create space for healing and authentic connection with Spirit.Guidance Over Ego: Trusting inner guidance leads us to a life of peace, joy, and divine purpose, free from the confines of egoic identity.David reminds us of the power of trust and surrender. He calls us to live an inspired life, where joy and discovery become our natural states. Through his teachings and the profound insights of "Take Me Home," we are invited to step beyond fear, embrace love, and remember our true essence.Please enjoy my conversation with David Hoffmeister.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.
