Spiritual Journey - Path to Awakening

In this guest episode, Nimesh is joined by Mark J Platten for a grounded and powerful conversation about what happens when your soul begins calling you beyond the life, identity or work you have built.
Mark shares his lifelong connection with nature and how the Earth has guided, held and supported him throughout his life. For Mark, nature is not just somewhere we go. It is a relationship. It communicates, grounds us and reminds us that we are never truly alone.
One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is when Mark shares the guidance he received during COVID: you are doing good work in the world, but it is not your soul work. That message became part of a much deeper transition, eventually leading him out of his academic career and into a new chapter of listening, surrendering and trusting what his soul was calling him towards.
Together, Nimesh and Mark explore nature connection, masculine energy, midlife transformation, fear, community, emotional intelligence and why so many people are being called into a more heart-led and soul-aligned way of living.
This conversation is for anyone questioning their path, feeling called into change, or sensing that their soul is asking for something deeper.

In this solo episode, Nimesh explores the current energetic shift and why so many people are feeling unsettled, emotional, in limbo, or unsure of what is coming next.
This episode is a follow-on from the recent conversations around the shift, but it goes deeper into presence. Not presence as a spiritual concept, but presence as something the human self can find uncomfortable when life feels uncertain.
Many of us are used to searching for answers, healing, analysing, planning and trying to understand what everything means. But what if this phase is asking us to stop searching for a moment and simply be with what is here?
Nimesh shares how the space between the old life and the new life can feel like a void. The old version no longer fits, but the new version has not fully landed. In that space, expectations, emotions, relationships, old identities and suppressed feelings can rise to the surface.
This is not a time to bypass what you feel. It is a time to be honest with yourself, release the pressure to understand everything, connect with your guides, and trust that the answers will come in divine timing.
This episode is for anyone feeling emotional, uncomfortable, uncertain, physically sensitive, or aware that something deep is shifting within them and around them.

In This Episode
✨ Why the present can feel uncomfortable during a spiritual shift
✨ The void between the old life and the new life
✨ Why searching for answers can become a form of safety
✨ How to feel emotions without analysing or suppressing them
✨ Building a deeper connection with your guides and soul team

What You’ll Take Away
✨ Presence is one of the most powerful tools during uncertain times
✨ You do not need to understand every emotion before you feel it
✨ Expectations can make the current phase feel heavier
✨ Your guides and higher self are supporting you, even when answers are not clear
✨ Divine timing may bring clarity when you are ready to receive it

In this guest episode, Nimesh and Stacey are joined by Rickie Freedman for a powerful conversation about Reiki, energy management, intuition, self-healing and the power of using your voice.
Rickie shares her journey from physical therapy into Reiki, and how what began as a personal healing path became her life’s work. She speaks about Reiki not just as something you receive in a session, but as a way of living, grounding your energy, staying heart-centred and becoming a healing presence in the world.
Stacey also shares one of the most profound Reiki experiences of her life, when intuitive guidance during a hospital visit helped her recognise something serious happening with her son. It is a deeply moving reminder of what can happen when we trust the messages and energy that come through.
Together, Nimesh, Stacey and Rickie explore self-Reiki, receiving healing as a practitioner, finding someone you trust, and why healers also need to be supported.
Rickie also shares the message she received that she is the voice of Reiki, and how voice, vibration and speaking her truth have become part of her next evolution.
This episode is for anyone curious about Reiki, energy healing, spiritual growth, intuitive guidance or learning how to manage their energy in a more grounded and heart-centred way.

This solo guided meditation was recorded during a Full Moon webinar and is designed to support deep relaxation, energetic release, ancestral healing and spiritual self-awareness.
In this meditation, Nimesh gently guides you into your energy and vibration, inviting you to become present with what you have been feeling, what you have moved through, and what you are now ready to release. You are taken on a journey through the stars, connecting with the energy of the Full Moon, your higher self, your third eye, your ancestors, your soul contracts, your guides and your soul family.
This is a meditation for a time of transition. It supports you in releasing attachments, expectations, past life karma, ancestral energy and anything that no longer belongs in your next chapter. You are guided to connect with your higher self, receive activation through the third eye, integrate lessons and gifts, and step through a powerful doorway into a new reality.
The meditation also invites you to connect with three ancient ancestors and feel the presence of your soul family, guides, ascended masters, archangels and higher-level beings supporting your path. It is not about forcing answers or needing to understand everything with the mind. It is about feeling, trusting, receiving and allowing your energy to shift.
Listen to this meditation when you have space to relax, close your eyes and be fully present. Do not listen while driving or doing anything that requires your attention.
This episode is for anyone who feels they are moving through a powerful energetic shift, releasing an old cycle, stepping into a new beginning, or wanting to reconnect with their higher self, ancestors and guides.
Also available to watch on YouTube.

In this solo episode, Nimesh explores the powerful spiritual shift many people are feeling right now, both personally and collectively.
This is not just another period of change. Many are experiencing more in days and weeks than they previously would have processed in months or even years. Old identities are falling away, soul contracts are shifting, relationships are changing, and the version of life that once felt familiar may no longer feel aligned.
Nimesh shares reflections on the current collective energy, the movement from ego-led living into heart-led embodiment, and the deeper shift from divine masculine into divine feminine energy. This is a time where many people are being asked to stop shrinking, stop waiting, and begin taking aligned action from the soul.
This episode is not about forcing big decisions or needing to know every step ahead. It is about learning to trust what you feel, listening to your intuition, building a deeper relationship with your guides, and taking one aligned step at a time.
Nimesh also explores the difference between a personal shift and a collective shift, and why so many people are feeling uncomfortable, emotional, unbalanced or unsure of what is coming next. Rather than seeing this as something wrong, this episode invites you to see it as part of a deeper awakening and embodiment process.
This is a reminder that you are not here by accident. Your light matters. Your energy matters. Your presence matters. You are being invited to speak your truth, prioritise your self-care, look honestly at your soul family, and stop waiting for permission to become who your soul already knows you are.
