·1 hr 8 min·4 clips

Sheila says she had cancer two years ago and chose surgery but not the radiation her doctors recommended.

1. The Spiritual Geek Podcast: Wisdom for Modern Times episode centers on Carol Ann Halstead’s Divine Healing Stories and the idea of healing with Source Energy. 2. Sheila Franzen hosts, and Carol Ann Halstead is the guest, author of Modern Ascension and the second book Divine Healing Stories. 3. The episode asks what divine healing is for and why Carol Ann compiled 10 healers’ stories into one book. 4. Carol Ann says the second book began as a nudge to write about healers after Modern Ascension. 5. She describes working with Laurie Diebold, who channeled Carol Ann’s higher self and told her, "it’s really time for you to do this book." 6. Carol Ann says she then knew who should be included and how the project would proceed. 7. The hosts explain that "divine healing" names work done with higher selves, ascended masters, angels, and guides. 8. Carol Ann says the helpers are "non-visible" and can assist with things as simple as finding a parking spot. 9. Sheila and Carol Ann contrast that approach with the Newtonian model of modern medicine, which focuses on anatomy, physiology, surgery, and pharmaceuticals. 10. Carol Ann says divine healing can be cumulative and can help chronic conditions over time. 11. Sheila reads Carol Ann’s preface defining the higher self as "a vast multi-dimensional being" for each soul. 12. Carol Ann says higher selves design life after life so souls can realize their true nature. 13. The conversation links healing to ascension, karma clearing, and the higher self’s role in releasing patterns across DNA, ancestry, and cellular memory. 14. Sheila argues that healing only happens when the person is willing to receive, and Carol Ann agrees that surrender and humility matter in a session. 15. The episode repeatedly returns to "hope" for people dealing with trauma, accidents, chronic pain, and slow recovery. 16. Sheila shares her own cancer journey from two years ago, including surgery, declining recommended radiation, and choosing energy work instead. 17. Carol Ann says modern medicine is brilliant for emergencies like heart attacks, stents, and surgeries, but it is incomplete without emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions. 18. The tone is conversational and collaborative, with Sheila frequently reflecting on her own experience and Carol Ann responding in a teaching style. 19. Listeners interested in spiritual healing, energy work, and ascension language will likely find it useful. 20. Listeners wanting a strict biomedical discussion or minimal spirituality may skip it.
