The Conscious Diva

In this episode, I’m joined by Banafsheh Sayyad, visionary creator of Dance of Oneness®, a powerful path of spiritual embodiment that weaves together movement, healing, and the sacred intelligence of the elements.

We explore her new book, Dance of Oneness: Embody Love and Luminosity to Transform Your Life – this is truly a remarkable book, going far beyond choreography.

Banafsheh shares how the elements come alive through different dance traditions, from the fire of Flamenco to the expansiveness of water in Tai Chi.
Together, we explore how dance becomes a doorway back to ourselves, and a way of listening, feeling, and ultimately remembering that we are all divinely connected.

Joining me in this episode is Pamela Downes, a gifted trance channeler and messenger for The Great Council of Light. Pamela is known for delivering profound insights and divine guidance.
In this episode, we explore:
- Pamela’s experiences with Ayahuasca and how this sacred plant medicine became a catalyst for deep healing.
- How her journey into spiritual awakening began with one powerful shift… learning to let go of fear and step into loving awareness.
- How Pamela moved through past life imprints to release those patterns in this lifetime, and learned to raise her vibration to open her channel to receive guidance from the Great Council of Light.
- The story behind the creation of Spirit Calling - her online global community that inspires spiritual growth, transformation, unity, and awakening.
And toward the end of this conversation, Pamela and the Council share a channeled message… one that you’ll feel, not just hear.
This episode is an invitation into expansion, and to remember that what we fear is often the threshold to a deeper truth.

Today on the pod, I’m joined by Jeremy David Engles, author of Mindful Democracy, a thought-provoking and deeply timely exploration of what it means to bring awareness, compassion, and presence into our collective life. 
Jeremy’s work is inspired in part by the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh. 
In this conversation, we explore:
·     What democracy truly is and what it isn’t. 
·     We look at how our inner landscape shapes the outer systems we participate in, and why the quality of our attention may be one of the most political acts we have.
·     We also dive into the distinction between mindfulness as a practice—something we do—and Buddhism as a path—something we live. 
·     Jeremy shares how even the smallest shifts, like cultivating an “inner smile,” can soften reactivity and open the door to deeper connection, both within ourselves and with others.
·     And we touch on the beautiful and transformative practice of Metta, or loving-kindness meditation, as a way of relating to ourselves, to others, and even to those we struggle with, through a lens of compassion rather than division.

Welcome back to The Conscious Diva Podcast, today, I’m joined by Aja Daashuur, spirit guide coach and creator of the Spirit Guide Archetypes Oracle Deck. 
In this conversation, we explore:
·       What spirit guides actually are, and how to begin working with them in a way that is true for you and empowering. 
·      Why energetic protection is the sacred boundary that allows this connection to deepen with clarity and trust. 
·      The creation of this groundbreaking oracle deck, and the process of translating channeled guidance into hand-painted artwork. The stunning, lifelike illustrations on each card were communicated to the artist by the guides themselves.
·      I share my personal experience working with Aja’s deck… and how the archetypes began to reveal themselves in ways that felt both potent and incredibly accurate.
And stay with us until the end, because Aja pulls a card for all of you listening… a message meant to find you exactly where you are.

On today’s episode, we explore the human journey of spiritual awakening through Scott Guerin’s latest book, Awkward Awakening: Finding Your Way Home.
Rather than portraying awakening as a sudden moment of bliss or enlightenment, Guerin offers a refreshingly honest perspective: awakening can be messy, confusing, and even uncomfortable.
Throughout the book, he explores themes such as identity shifts, spiritual growth, emotional integration, cosmic contact narratives, extraterrestrial intelligence, and the challenge of staying grounded while your inner world is evolving.

✨ In this episode, we explore:
• Why awakening often feels ulike an nraveling
• Identity shifts and the challenge of integrating spiritual growth
• Emotional healing and staying grounded while your inner world evolves
• Cosmic contact narratives and curiosity around extraterrestrial intelligence
• How awakening invites us to rediscover who we truly are
