    EP 111 – A Journey Beyond the Veil with Michael McAdams
    2025/05/06
    To watch the video of this podcast, please go to: https://youtu.be/DWFB7aM-GBo Have you ever received a message that felt like it came from beyond — something too clear, too wise to be just coincidence? What if the voices we silence or label as imagination are actually spirit teachers trying to guide us? Can a message from spirit truly transform your life and mental well-being? In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Michael McAdams, a lifelong seeker of truth and the author of An Angel Told Me So. Together, they explore the often-misunderstood realm of spirit communication and how it intersects with personal healing, mental health, and spiritual development. Michael shares his personal story growing up in a religious family, his early mystical experiences, and the extraordinary collaboration he had with his mother, who received profound written messages from spirit teachers over the course of 22 years. Dr. Adriana and Michael challenge common mental health paradigms by inviting a deeper inquiry into what is often dismissed as psychosis or delusion — and instead honoring the possibility that spiritual communication is a natural and healing part of our human experience. In this episode: • The difference between spirit guides, angels, and disembodied beings • How to discern between imagination and divine messages • Why affirmations and intention are key to spiritual protection • What is the difference between spiritual experiences and psychosis • The importance of belief systems and free will in shaping our spiritual reality • Practical tools to begin or strengthen your connection to spiritual guidance Resources mentioned in this episode: Michael’s website: https://www.spiritspeaks.com Michael’s book An Angel Told Me So: https://a.co/d/f4P58p7 The Urantia Book: https://a.co/d/4KRv3sP Message from Spirit Teachers: Spiritual Parchment Prints on SpiritSpeaks.com About Michael: Michael McAdams is a lifelong spiritual seeker and the author of An Angel Told Me So, a collection of profound spiritual messages received by his mother, Wilma Jean Jones, over the span of two decades. With a background in traditional Christianity and a deep passion for metaphysics, Michael bridges faith and spirit communication through his work. He shares a personal journey of awakening, divine communication, and the sacred role of spirit teachers in guiding us through life’s challenges. “We are not alone. We are constantly being guided, helped, and supported — but we have to ask, and we have to be willing to listen.” – Michael Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

Can suppressed emotions contribute to chronic inflammation and illness? What’s possible when we work with the body’s natural intelligence to heal? In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by holistic trauma specialist Veronica Merchak to explore the connection between trauma, inflammation, and healing. Veronica shares her unique approach to helping clients process trauma, combining modalities like BodyTalk, Trauma/Tension Release Exercises (TRE), and her own method called Quantum Field Talk Therapy.

She offers hope, perspective, and practical tools to support healing and transformation at all levels, empowering us to look at what’s possible when we reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom. In this episode: • How unresolved trauma gets stored in the body and contributes to chronic inflammation • The role of the nervous system and cellular memory in trauma • An introduction to BodyTalk and how it helps the body communicate and heal • The power of TRE and the body’s natural shaking mechanism for trauma release • Quantum Field Talk Therapy • The importance of healing collective and intergenerational trauma Resources mentioned in this episode: Connect with Veronica on Instagram: @veronica_lets_talk Email: veronica.letstalk@gmail.com Learn more about BodyTalk: https://www.bodytalksystem.com/ TRE Information: https://traumaprevention.com/ About Veronica: Veronica Merchak is a holistic trauma specialist, presently based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

He believes self-intimacy is essential for genuine connection with others. Many develop protective strategies for their hearts that later hinder the intimacy they seek. The Center helps clients overcome these barriers and build deeper connections. To address healthy sexuality and issues like compulsive behaviors and betrayal trauma, Gary studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute, joined the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, and became a Certified Sex Addiction and Partner Trauma Therapist through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals. He has also trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, and EMDR to address trauma stored in the body. Before his current practice, Gary spent over 20 years in education and as a rabbi. “If I’m not willing to see the parts of myself I’ve been avoiding, I won’t ever allow someone else to see them.” – Gary Katz Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?
