In this episode, podcast host CJMiller invites intuitive artists Joe Kresoja and Tonya Henderson to explore how they connect with their inner guidance and higher selves through their creative practices. Joe, a Los Angeles artist, shares how he creates spiritual color codes for clients by tapping into their unique energy, translating it into shapes and colors. Recently, he completed a personal energy portrait for one of his projects, which heightened his self-awareness of his own beliefs and intentions. Tonya, a Michigan-based artist, paints personal energy portraits as well, and both discuss how setting clear intentions can reveal hidden desires and inner truths, beyond surface-level goals like money and success.

Throughout the conversation, CJ delves into practical questions, asking his guests how they maintain this intuitive connection in their daily lives. Joe explains his process of meditation, sitting in stillness until an image surfaces, and then allowing colors and potential obstacles to emerge as he paints. Both Joe and Tonya stress the importance of releasing attachment to specific outcomes and instead focusing on the present moment. Tonya encourages listeners to let go of fear and external expectations, emphasizing that the path to inner freedom lies in shifting from reaction to mindful response. She shares her practice of daily meditation, where she asks for inner guidance and allows images, feelings, and answers to arise naturally.

The discussion further explores the transformative power of intentional thought and quiet reflection. Joe offers the insight that "awareness is the currency of change," suggesting that by observing our thoughts, we reclaim personal power and create space for growth. Tonya introduces forward journaling as a tool to rewrite one’s story, encouraging listeners to assess whether their beliefs serve them or cause pain. Together, CJ, Joe, and Tonya reveal that true freedom comes from within—by peeling away external influences and reconnecting with the quiet, intuitive voice that guides us toward our best selves. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the transformative journey to self-awareness and the power of intentional creation.

In this episode of The Spiritual Artist Podcast, host C.J. Miller speaks with Laurie Seymour, founder of The Baca Institute and host of Wisdom Talk Radio. Laurie shares her insights on raising personal frequency and connecting to the quantum field to harness the power of inner guidance. A master trainer and executive mentor, Laurie introduces listeners to Turaya Touch© and Turaya Meditation©, unique energetic technologies designed to help individuals align with Source and elevate their creative potential. Together, they discuss the concept of “quantum connection” and how it can empower people to master their lives by consciously managing their own vibration.

Reflecting on the post-election atmosphere, Laurie and C.J. delve into navigating challenging moments by asking, "How do I want to respond to this?" Laurie encourages listeners to shift from reaction to intention, finding grounding in their connection to a greater energy field. Through silence, or what C.J. describes as the “hallway” – that liminal space before a clear answer emerges – Laurie suggests tuning into the heart’s wisdom, which provides a deeper level of discernment. She invites listeners to explore their own guidance by remaining present with their sensations and responses, rather than being swept away by external events.

Laurie shares her process for accessing inner wisdom and creative intelligence, guiding listeners to shift their frequency to invite more light and clarity. By focusing on the "feeling body" – an awareness that senses the energy in a statement or question – she teaches awareness as a tool for intuition and guidance. Laurie introduces her Quantum Connection Process, which empowers individuals to align their business and life with their unique creative blueprint, fostering success and well-being. Together, Laurie and C.J. explore how stepping into love and heart-centered wisdom can transform life into a continuous flow of creation, guided by spirit.

In this episode of "The Spiritual Artist Podcast", Christopher J. Miller interviews Tonya Henderson, an artist, intuitive, and inspiring art business coach dedicated to empowering women through her unique approach to art and energy work. Tonya, who originally trained in psychometry, views art-making as a journey, focusing on the joy of creating rather than the end product. Tonya’s classes and workshops are designed not only to teach the technical aspects of art but to nurture everyone's personal growth, helping them tap into their inner wisdom and Creative Intelligence.

Throughout the conversation, Tonya delves into the importance of being fully present in the creative process, emphasizing that there is no right or wrong in art. She believes that the role of a teacher is to ensure students have fun, find their own magic, and trust the flow of creativity. Tonya explains that art often has a way of "creating itself," as it channels through the artist from a higher source. She and CJ discuss how everyone can access the 'Creative Pool,' a space of infinite ideas, by opening themselves up to Divine Intelligence, which, according to Tonya, always brings forth goodness.

Tonya also discusses her intuitive art practice, where she creates Personal Energy Portraits, offering art readings that tap into the unique energy of her clients. She shares her experiences as an intuitive reader, explaining how thoughts and energy fields can influence our physical and emotional well-being. Tonya describes how she connects with Divine Intelligence to bring forward the right message for each client, often discovering deeper meanings in her artwork. Her purpose, she says, is to serve others, recognizing that we are all reflections of one another, adding to the fabric of humanity with each act of service.

In this short clip of my upcoming podcast with Intuitive Artist Tonya Henderson, I share a personal story about my own intuitive experiences and the challenges that came with them. At one point, I felt like I was receiving negative energy or scary thoughts, so I put up a wall and decided it wasn't for me to hear. Yet, I still feel deeply empathic toward the world around me and those in need. I didn't want to turn my back on them because, as Tonya so beautifully expresses, "Anything that doesn't appear as love is a request for love."

Together, we explore how tapping into Divine Intelligence—whether you call it God, Source, or Creative Power—always brings forth something good. It’s about recognizing that even when situations or people seem unsettling, the truth is that this power is guiding us toward love and healing. I share how, when someone enters my space, I always receive the right words, reminding us that love is always the answer, and there is nothing in that divine space that can hurt us. This episode offers a heartfelt look at how we can navigate the balance between empathy, intuition, and love.

In this episode, host CJ Miller welcomes Rev. Michael Gott, Senior Minister at Unity of Houston, to explore the deep connections between creativity, spirituality, and surrender. As they discuss Michael's latest album Be Revealed, CJ asks profound questions about God, faith, and letting go of the ego.

Raised in a fundamentalist, Bible-based tradition, Michael shares his journey of rediscovery, from growing up in a strict faith to rewriting his relationship with God through recovery from alcoholism. He opens up about the pivotal moments in his life, including his experiences in the New Thought tradition over the past 30 years and his evolving understanding of a "Higher Power."

Michael reflects on his creative process and how surrendering to something greater than himself has become central to his art, spiritual practice, and daily life. The conversation touches on the themes of intention, faith, and transformation, with Michael sharing insights from his personal recovery journey and his ongoing work on a memoir.

Key moments in the discussion include Michael's thoughts on the word "God" as a blanket we throw over the mystery of life, allowing people to find their own understanding of the divine. He also delves into the role of surrender in creativity and how imperfections, or "defects of character," can be used for good when we align with the creative energy that flows through us all.

The episode concludes with Michael offering his wisdom: "You are good enough. Do what you're here to do. Don’t let the critic stop you from expressing."

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Carton, an inspirational speaker, teacher, and transformational life coach certified by the Brave Thinking Institute. With over a decade of experience, Kevin has empowered hundreds to break through limitations, rewire their subconscious minds, and trust themselves on a deeper level. Kevin also discusses co-hosting the popular Science & Spirituality podcast with his brother Chris, which has reached listeners in over 113 countries and garnered more than 1.3 million downloads.

In this engaging episode, Kevin Carton delves into the fascinating intersection of science and spirituality. He discusses how modern quantum physics aligns with ancient spiritual teachings, shedding light on concepts like the origins of the universe, quantum entanglement, and the interconnected nature of all things. Kevin emphasizes the role of energy in life and creation, encouraging listeners to embrace both scientific and spiritual perspectives. He highlights the importance of the mind-body connection in healing and creative practices and touches on the wisdom of the heart and its vital role in aligning thoughts with emotions for holistic well-being.

Key Concepts:

• Intersection of Science and Spirituality: Kevin explains how quantum physics supports spiritual teachings, particularly regarding the interconnectedness of all things, tying it to the concept of the Big Bang.
• Quantum Entanglement and Connection: The idea that everything is energetically connected, even across vast distances, mirrors spiritual beliefs about unity.
• Energy and Transformation: Kevin emphasizes that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed, resonating with both physics and spiritual teachings about life and death.
• Mind-Body Connection: Kevin discusses how the body influences the mind and how physical movement can shift energy, affecting emotions and thoughts, leading to mental clarity and creativity.
• Wisdom of the Heart: Kevin highlights the heart's energetic role, influencing clarity of thought and emotional states through heart rate variability.
• Subconscious Power: The subconscious mind, more powerful than the conscious mind, resides within every cell. This deep-seated intelligence governs our physical and mental patterns, contributing to the intricate design of human life.
• Brainwaves and Early Programming: From birth to age seven, children’s brains are primarily in the alpha state, which is akin to a state of hypnosis. During this time, they absorb and internalize information from their environment, forming the foundational programming for their future behavior and thought patterns.
• Western vs. Eastern Cultural Differences: In Western societies, there's a strong focus on the mind and external world, often pulling people away from their bodies and inner selves. Eastern cultures, in contrast, emphasize internal reflection, though both face challenges in embracing body awareness for healing.
• Universal Intelligence: The deep intelligence within all life, from cellular replication to plant growth, shows that intelligence permeates everything. This universal intelligence, whether called God, spirit, or source, reminds us that our creative aspirations are possible.
