| 0:00.0 | We need at our table of awareness, the logician, but equally we need the intuitive, we need the mystic. |
| 0:06.0 | I almost died. |
| 0:07.0 | I was allowed to go to the very precipice of death, of life and death, and look over the edge. |
| 0:13.0 | And I was allowed to behold what was there and allowed to come back. Most people aren't. |
| 0:18.0 | When we talk about being aligned with our self or being aligned with our soul or hearing our |
| 0:23.0 | higher self, that's really what we're talking about is being connected to that divine part of |
| 0:28.2 | ourself, that light-filled part of us, that is connected to God energy, that is connected |
| 0:32.5 | to everybody here and every experience we've ever had. |
| 0:36.4 | If more doctors, more professionals can open up to use intuitive gifts in their work, |
| 0:42.3 | that's really important. |

| 1:08.8 | Today's episode with John Prendergast focuses on his decades of experience as both a psychotherapist and a spiritual teacher. |
| 1:18.2 | I have such reverence for this episode. |
| 1:20.4 | You can hear in his voice how he holds himself as a spiritualist and a deep, deep thinker and a deep spiritual teacher. So I know |
| 1:31.8 | that you will love this episode. He recently had a book that came out. It's called A Guide to |
| 1:38.2 | Embodied Spirituality, Your Deepest Ground. And we talk a lot about grounding and why grounding is so very important in |
| 1:46.3 | spirituality and sometimes the very last thing that happens. So I hope you enjoyed this episode |
| 1:51.4 | as much as I enjoyed just being in the presence of John. He has a beautiful energy and I know |
| 1:57.3 | you will feel it right through the entire podcast. Here's today's episode with John Prendergast. |
