Gateways to Awakening is a gateway for your own spiritual journey.

Today, people are suffering from stress and anxiety like no other time in history. Mental illness is on the rise, and people are either self-medicating or numbing out with a variety of distractions. In one on one conversations with leading experts in wellness and spirituality, Gateways to Awakening will share best practices and offer a gateway to help those who are interested to expand their awareness and consciousness.

We’ll be asking these questions and more:

How can we become more connected to ourselves and bring greater awareness to our lives?
How can we connect with our own voice and intuition and be on the highest life path possible?
Is there a greater intelligence, a primordial, intuitive intelligence, beyond just what we can access through our five senses today?

For the modern-day seekers, Gateways to Awakening asks these questions and explores conversations with experts in their fields. I’ll be talking to a variety of guests from Ph.D. academics in Reiki, Shiatsu, binaural beats, Chinese medicine practitioners, mystics, and even one of the leading experts on The Secret. I ask that you stay curious with me, as we navigate these questions and more with our guests. This is your journey, so pay attention to what makes you feel expansive and lighter.

    How to hack your mind for happiness with Sean Webb

    How to hack your mind for happiness with Sean Webb

    Today’s episode is with Sean Webb who wrote a book about hacking happiness.
    Figuring out how to explain how the human mind works has had some interesting side effects. It turns out that the same model Sean uses to explain the human mind to MHH students also has some amazing applications in the world of Artificial Emotional Intelligence. Using his understanding of mind and deep mind, Sean has developed the first ever Algorithms of Human Emotion that are not reliant on biosensors.

    These will soon to be used to not only create simulated Turing test passing emotional responses in artificial personalities (think; C-3PO), but they will also be used to help create functional empathy and compassion in computer logic and their applications. This will not only make computers more user friendly and emotionally intelligent, it may also just save us from a rogue artificial general intelligence from accidentally or intentionally bringing an end to the human race. Either way, if Sean knows the human mind well enough to help computers understand how our minds work, he can certainly help you learn how to hack yours to your greatest personal benefit.

    We talk about the following and so much more:
    ✅What inspired him to write a book about mind hacking and happiness?
    ✅His personal journey and motivations?
    ✅ "Mind Hacking Happiness Vol I," and the key concepts it explores.
    ✅ How is our mind “hackable”?
    ✅ The "Code of the Human Mind." - what this code is and how it influences our happiness and well-being
    ✅ How understanding the neuroscience of happiness helps individuals improve their overall quality of life
    ✅The importance of "inner control" and "emotional regulation."

A gem of a podcast, jump in and start discovering!

I recently discovered and started listening to this podcast, which spans an incredibly wide range of topics from spirituality, dating, music, psychedelics, healing and psychology. Yasmeen is an amazingly gifted interviewer and speaker who shares the characteristics of the best: 1) wide-ranging and genuine curiosity about her interviewees and the subjects, 2) empathy and compassion, and 3) eloquence and conciseness in her questions. She asks short, simple, incisive questions and gives her interviewees space to answer. 160+ episodes might seem intimidating but just browse and pick a subject that intrigues you, I promise you will learn something about the topic that you’ll be able to use in your every day life to manifest change and improvement!

It’s Melissa ,

It’ll stop you in your tracks and change your life

This podcast has the magical ability to tell you exactly what you need to hear, in the moment you hearing it. What I love about Yasmeen’s interviewing style is she pushes her guests for actionable takeaways everybody can implement. She asks each guest to drill things down in simple steps. So you leave each podcast with a plan you can try and a call to action where you can read/watch/find more info.

Yasmeen’s voice is so soothing. Her guests are extremely interesting. The energy this podcast gives us exactly what the world needs right now.

If you are looking for more out of life, but you don’t quite know what or how, this is the podcast you need.
