On January 16, 2024 author Ora Nadrich talk “The Great Awakening”, its importance, shifts in consciousness, division and polarization in society, taking wholistic and spiritual perspectives, questioning and investigating things for ourselves, navigating opposition and controversial topics, self-awareness, advice for those just starting their awakening journey, inner and outer change, importance of community, how to serve others, and more
About Ora Nadrich
The Big Idea: Ora Nadrich takes us on an in-depth journey to fully understand what she calls the “Great Awakening” of our times. This spiritual awakening, caused by a global pandemic that catapulted the world into a fear frenzy, created tremendous polarization and dissent, dividing the world into two groups; those who are awake to know the truth behind the fear, and those that are frozen by fear and are in an “unconscious slumber”. Using Mindfulness and emotional intelligence to navigate the extreme changes we are facing, like censorship, government overreach, global elitism, AI and Transhumanism; Ora Nadrich will give you the necessary psychological armor to resist the dangers of our current state of affairs, which are unprecedented.
The Source: ORA NADRICH is a pioneering Mindfulness expert, international keynote speaker and coach, and the founder and president of the Institute for Transformational Thinking. A sought-after expert in the fields of Mindfulness, transformational thinking, and self-discovery, she is the author of Says Who? How One Simple Question Can Change the Way You Think Forever, and Live True: A Mindfulness Guide to Authenticity, named “one of the 100 Best Mindfulness Books of All Time” by BookAuthority. Her new book is Time To Awaken: Changing the World with Conscious Awareness (IFTT, Nov. 18, 2022).

A January 9, 2024 chat had Dean Graves and I discussing a multitude of distortions and what this means for awaking, what awaking even means as well as the terms “hierophant delusion”, “self”, “enlightenment”, “consciousness”, and “mindfulness.” Dean also provides a metaphysical framework from how he sees the bigger picture then goes on to explain his work with the Arcturians, free energy, the influence of negative entities and plenty more like wanting, movement, separation, freewill, unconsciousness, etc.
About Dean Graves
My story is simple and, in many ways, is remarkably unremarkable. For approximately 50 years of my life, I led a typical American life. Around my 50th year, I began to meditate and through that meditation have been able to glean significant information and insight into the topics that I have taught to others for 20+ years. The information isn’t totally unique, in that it has been provided to humanity in various forms throughout humanity’s history but it has repeatedly been systematically distorted and/or lost.
Biography
Dean Graves is a renowned meditation teacher, mental health counselor, and spiritual guide with over 20 years of experience in the field. Through his expertise in mental health and deep spiritual understanding, he provides a holistic approach to healing and growth. With his compassionate and insightful guidance, he has inspired and empowered people from all walks of life to embrace mindfulness and meditation as a path to greater self-awareness and spiritual awakening.
In this seventeenth installment of the ongoing live series with Wendy Nash inquiring into meditation practice on and off the cushion we talk meditative environments and spaces — mostly external via showing images of them — for one’s “personal” (formal) meditation space, group spaces, etc
*There’s naturally an ongoing open call for meditation (related) questions for the (roughly) monthly “Meditation Q & A” either by the various social media means listed; integratingpresence[at]protonmail.com or just showing to type/ask live.*
Background
Regular, current and past visitors to Integrating Presence may recall the monthly series “Ask Us Anything” I did with Denny K Miu from August 2020 until January 2022 — partially including and continuing on with Lydia Grace as co-host for awhile until March 2022.
For a fewmonthsthereafter I did various Insight Timer live events exploring potential new directions and/or a continuation of the Ask Us Anything format while weaving in other related teachings to these events.
Then, after chats with meditation coach Wendy Nash, it became clear to start a new collaboration similar to “Ask Us Anything” simply and clearly called “Meditation Q & A” especially due to the original intent of the Ask Us Anything’s being “discussions about meditation and related topics.”

Biography
Julia Marie was just like you: driven and goal-oriented with a plan for her life. A series of Spiritually Transformative Events (STEs) changed everything.
More than three decades later, she is ready to share what she’s learned so that you can benefit from her hard-earned insight and accelerate your spiritual growth.
She tells the story of her awakening and how she learned to live guided by the Voice within in her book Signals from My Soul: A Spiritual Memoir of Awakening.
Julia Marie is a gifted trans-dimensional healer, intuitive medium, and experienced spiritual teacher. She founded the Academy for the Intuitive Arts in 1997, and the courses and coaching help sensitive women and men as they take the next step in unlocking their Spiritual potential.
She provides spiritual consultations to a global clientele, and looks forward to bringing her grounded, practical approach to spirituality.
About Julia Marie
Julia Marie has over three decades’ worth of stories and interactions with the Unseen World, and the time has come to share what she’s learned.
Julia speaks confidently on topics as diverse as: Past lives and past life regression, Mediums and mediumship, Intuition and intuitive development, Energy healing, Spirit guides and practical ways to integrate more Spirit into your life. (A list of training and experience is below)
Her mission is to help sensitive seekers understand that we are all wired the same, and that the Teacher lives within each of us.
Everything she shares she learned through direct experience, and she wants people to know they have the same capacity to access the Field as she does, they simply need to learn how their unique connection works.
It’s possible to survive, even thrive after a spiritual awakening and that one can have their spiritual path and live a 3D life. The two things are not mutually exclusive.
Her book Signals from My Soul: A Spiritual Memoir of Awakening details her journey from the series of STEs that changed her life to the high points of the next three decades. She tells the stories from the POV of her consciousness at the time she had the experience, and adds her current understanding of those events from the place of hindsight and an expanded awareness of how the Unseen Realm works. This approach provides the reader with actionable suggestions and encouragement on their personal journey of Soul discovery.

This is a clip of my comments to Tony Bernhard about not needing to believe nor disbelieve fantastical accounts from the suttas during “Engaging the Abhidhamma” live event. But most of this is actually my newly recorded follow-up to musings to Tony on the “neither pleasant nor unpleasant” portion of vedanā (hedonic/feeling tone) not seeming to get much mention in Buddhist circles recently
Over the years, from 2007 until 2016 Randi went into explorative and psychic-energetic processes without any forms of mind-altering substances, to find new techniques to amplify my higher order psychic-energetic abilities.
She did so in self-reconstructive energy work, altered state meditation and deep contemplation processes reconstructed from the memories she had of these and added this to her studies of the different techniques described and handed over in the ancient teaching systems
