    110. Why Isn’t Everyone Lucid Dreaming? with Mia Lux

    What if your dreams weren’t random… but rehearsal for awakening?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with lucid dreaming teacher Mia Lux for a rich and provocative conversation about dream yoga, shadow integration, trauma healing, and preparing for death.

    Mia shares how her fear of death led her into lucid dreaming and how the practice became one of the most powerful tools for integrating trauma, working with PTSD, and accessing deeper layers of consciousness.

    Rather than dismissing dreams as meaningless, Mia invites us to see them as an accelerated path of self-inquiry. A way to work directly with the subconscious. A laboratory for transformation that requires no substances and no intermediary.

    Key Moments:
    00:00:00 — Dream yoga and dying before you die 00:02:10 — Why we ignore one-third of our lives 00:05:20 — Shadow integration through dreaming 00:08:15 — PTSD and trauma healing 00:18:00 — Lucid dreaming vs. Hollywood fantasy 00:36:00 — Medicine work without medicine 00:48:10 — How to begin practicing 00:58:00 — Integration and closing reflections

    If you’re curious about consciousness, healing, or what becomes possible when you stop dismissing your dreams, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight.

    For Those Feeling the Call to Go Deeper

    The integration Mia speaks about — nervous system capacity, shadow work, sustained awareness — is the foundation of Ziva Level 3.

    Ziva Level 3 is for practitioners ready to embody what they practice. To move beyond peak states and into stabilized integration.

    Applications are now open.

    ABOUT MIA LUX

    Mia Lux is a lucid dreaming teacher who integrates Tibetan dream yoga, modern psychology, and trauma-informed shadow work. What began as a personal journey to heal her fear of death evolved into a powerful methodology for psychological integration and spiritual awakening through conscious dreaming.

    Through her work, Mia teaches that dreaming is not escapism. It is direct access to the subconscious mind — a laboratory for healing, self-transcendence, and preparing for death while fully alive.

    109. Why Isn’t Everyone Practicing Tantra? with Ma Anand Sarita

    What if awakening wasn’t something you reached for, but something you softened into?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Ma Ananda Sarita, a world-renowned Tantra master, for a quiet, deeply embodied conversation about devotion, presence, and awakening with and as the body.

    Rather than approaching Tantra as philosophy, technique, or sexuality, Sarita shares it as a lived path of devotion to life itself. A way of being in relationship with breath, sensation, emotion, eros, grief, and the simple truth of what is present. Awakening, she reflects, is not about transcendence or ascent, but about arriving fully into this moment.

    Together, Emily and Sarita explore what it means to slow down enough to actually feel, to allow life to move you rather than trying to control or optimize your experience, and to trust the body as a source of intelligence and love. They speak about tenderness, surrender, and the feminine way of awakening that unfolds through receptivity, listening, and intimacy with what is real.

    This episode is an invitation to soften your grip, deepen your presence, and remember that the sacred is not elsewhere.
    It is already here, waiting to be met.

    Key Moments

    00:00:00 — Opening the space: presence, reverence, and intention
    00:05:40 — Devotion as lived relationship, not belief or hierarchy
    00:10:30 — Awakening with and as the body
    00:16:15 — Slowing down enough to truly feel
    00:22:45 — Staying present with grief and tenderness
    00:29:10 — The feminine path of remembering
    00:35:20 — Allowing life to move you
    00:41:00 — Trust, surrender, and embodied listening
    00:47:30 — When practice becomes how you live
    00:53:10 — Integration and closing reflections

    For Those Feeling the Call to Go Deeper

    The themes in this episode — embodiment, nervous system capacity, devotion, and lived integration — are the foundation of Ziva Level 3.

    Level 3 is for practitioners who feel ready to move beyond peak experiences and into sustained, embodied leadership.

    108. Why Isn’t Everyone Expanding Their Capacity to Receive? with Suzy Ashworth

    What if growth isn’t about pushing harder, but about letting go more skillfully?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with coach and author Suzy Ashworth for a grounded, activating conversation about identity shifts, pivots, and what it actually takes to receive more in life and business.

    Together, they explore why true transformation doesn’t come from strategy alone, but from who you’re willing to become in your body, your nervous system, and your sense of self. Suzy shares how the most powerful pivots in her life and work didn’t come from forcing outcomes, but from releasing attachment to timelines, outcomes, and the need to prove.

    They unpack the difference between desire and striving, why pleasure and joy create magnetism, and how detachment becomes a superpower when it comes to manifestation and receiving. This conversation reframes success as an internal orientation first, and an external result second.

    This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a change, sensing that the next level requires less effort and more trust, and learning how to open themselves to receive what’s already available.

    KEY MOMENTS: 00:00:00 — Identity as the starting point of transformation 00:03:15 — Setting the energetic field: invocation, coherence, intention 00:07:00 — Why the pivot matters more than the plan 00:11:20 — Joy and pleasure as stabilizers for growth 00:18:10 — Choosing who you become when life forces a reckoning 00:24:30 — Resilience, failure, and expanding emotional capacity 00:27:00 — Detachment as a manifestation superpower 00:31:00 — Faith plus action: alignment without exhaustion 00:34:00 — Identity before income and external results 00:46:00 — Integration: when the work becomes how you live

    About Suzy Ashworth

    Suzy Ashworth is a coach, speaker, and bestselling author of Infinite Receiving. She is the founder of the Quantum Leap Your Life & Business certification and works with leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to shift identity, expand capacity, and build success that is both profitable and sustainable.

    107. Why Isn’t Everyone Living by Natural Law? with Sarah Elkhaldy

    What if spiritual growth isn’t about belief, manifestation, or bypassing reality — but about understanding how reality actually works?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sarah Elkhaldy, mystic, teacher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia, for a clear, rigorous conversation about free will, karma, destiny, and spiritual evolution.

    Sarah explains how ancient mystery teachings were designed to initiate real changes in consciousness, not to comfort or inspire. Together, they explore how free will operates between fate and karma, what sovereignty truly requires, and why responsibility is central to spiritual growth. This conversation bridges mysticism and natural law, offering a grounded framework for understanding evolution beyond spiritual aesthetics.

    They also discuss the concept of homo luminous, the next stage of human evolution, and why presence in the simplest moments can become a profound initiation when awareness is fully engaged. Throughout the episode, Emily and Sarah examine discernment, embodiment, and why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcomes.

    This episode is for anyone who feels called to move beyond inspiration and into a deeper understanding of how consciousness evolves through choice, presence, and responsibility.

    Key Moments

    00:00:00 — Free will, fate, and karma explained through natural law 00:03:40 — What mystery teachings were actually designed to do 00:07:14 — Free will as the space between destiny and karma 00:12:50 — Childhood mysticism, imagination, and early initiation 00:16:04 — Presence as spiritual practice (the tea teaching) 00:19:22 — Human evolution and the concept of homo luminous 00:24:58 — Why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcome 00:31:10 — Discernment, responsibility, and conscious initiation 00:38:40 — What sovereignty actually requires in daily life 00:46:15 — Integrating mystery teachings in the modern world 00:54:30 — Embodiment, service, and living the teachings 01:01:40 — Closing reflections on evolution, choice, and awareness

    Where This Work Continues

    If this conversation resonated, especially around sovereignty, discernment, and embodied awareness, this is the kind of inquiry explored inside Ziva Level 3.

    Level 3 is an advanced mastermind focused on integration, responsibility, and living these teachings in real life, with immersive experiences and pilgrimage work in Greece.

    106. Why Isn’t Everyone Remembering the Power of the Divine Feminine? with Alana Fairchild

    What does it actually mean to work with the divine feminine as a lived force?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Alana Fairchild, spiritual teacher and oracle creator, for a grounded, illuminating conversation about Isis, feminine power, truth, and rebirth.

    Together, they explore the divine feminine as a source of creative intelligence, spiritual authority, and radical honesty. Not something symbolic or abstract, but something that requires courage, embodiment, and responsibility. Alana shares how archetypes like Isis and Kuan Yin carry distinct medicines for our time, and why real transformation asks us to love what is being revealed rather than bypass it.

    The conversation moves through sacred sexuality, shadow, initiation, and the difference between power that dominates and power that restores. Midway through the episode, Emily and Alana open a shared prayer and oracle transmission, inviting listeners into a direct experience of reflection and remembrance.

    This episode offers a deeper understanding of how feminine wisdom works, both personally and collectively, and how to stay rooted in love as truth surfaces.

    If you are navigating change, revelation, or a sense that something ancient is returning, this conversation will help you meet it with clarity and steadiness.

    Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Opening devotion & how Alana’s work became a living teacher 00:07:12 — The origin of Alana’s oracle work & feminine transmission 00:15:42 — Isis as power, rebirth, and uncompromising truth 00:24:30 — Sacred sexuality, wholeness, and feminine authority 00:33:10 — Shadow, initiation, and remembering who you are 00:45:10 — Live prayer & oracle transmission for listeners 00:54:12 — Truth being revealed — personally and collectively 01:05:40 — Loving what’s unveiled instead of bypassing it 01:17:10 — Closing reflections on devotion, resilience, and rebirth

    105. Why Isn’t Everyone Living Their True Purpose? with Sadhvi Bhagawati

    What if your purpose isn’t something you need to find, but something you remember by letting go of who you thought you were supposed to be?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sadhvi Bhagawati, spiritual leader, humanitarian, and longtime resident of Rishikesh, India, for a conversation that spans identity, dharma, devotion, service, and the quiet joy of surrender. Sadhviji shares her journey from a successful Western life to answering an inner call that led her to the banks of the Ganges more than three decades ago, not as an escape from the world, but as a deeper way of being in it. Together, they explore what dharma really means beyond career or calling, why success so often leaves people feeling empty, and how purpose emerges naturally when we stop striving and start listening. The conversation moves into the profound collective experience of the Maha Kumbh Mela, where hundreds of millions of people gather not around identity, politics, or achievement, but shared remembrance. Sadhviji explains how these ancient gatherings dissolve the illusion of separation and offer a lived experience of unity that can’t be understood intellectually, only felt. Emily and Sadhviji also explore the Vedic understanding of immortality, not as something physical, but as the wisdom of knowing yourself beyond the body, the story, and the personal narrative. They talk about releasing identity without abandoning responsibility, how service becomes effortless when it’s aligned, and why happiness isn’t something we earn, it’s what remains when we stop resisting life.

    This episode is not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you already are.


    In This Episode, We Explore: • What dharma really means beyond career or productivity • Why success often fails to deliver fulfillment • Surrender as strength, not passivity • The Maha Kumbh Mela and collective remembrance • Identity, ego, and the freedom of letting go • Immortality as consciousness, not the body • Service as a natural expression of alignment • Finding peace without bypassing responsibility


    About Sadhvi Bhagawati: Sadhvi Bhagawati is a spiritual leader, author, and humanitarian based in Rishikesh, India. She is President of the Divine Shakti Foundation, Secretary-General of the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, and a key organizer of the Kumbh Mela. She is the author of Hollywood to the Himalayas and Come Home to Yourself, and is known worldwide for bridging Eastern wisdom with modern life through service, devotion, and interfaith leadership.


    Where This Work Continues The themes in this episode — dharma, embodiment, service, and lived wisdom — are central to the work we do inside Level 3, an advanced mastermind designed to support deep integration, regulation, and spiritual leadership, with initiatory experiences that include pilgrimage in Greece.

    104. Why Isn’t Everyone Feeling Safe in Their Body? with Dr. Dave Rabin

    What if the missing ingredient in healing isn’t effort, insight, or intensity — but safety? In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and stress researcher Dr. Dave Rabin for a deep, grounding conversation about trauma, healing, psychedelics, and the nervous system.

    Dr. Dave explains why the body must feel safe before real transformation can occur, how vulnerability is not a weakness but a biological gateway to healing, and why many modern approaches to growth fail because they bypass the nervous system entirely. Together, they explore the science behind touch, oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and the body’s innate pharmacy — and why regulation, not catharsis, is what allows change to last.

    This conversation bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with ancient wisdom, reframing healing as a process of listening, softening, and restoring trust in the body. If you’ve been doing the work — meditating, journaling, therapy, breathwork — but still feel tense, guarded, or dysregulated, this episode offers a radically compassionate reframe.


    In This Episode, We Explore: •Why safety is the foundation of all healing •How the nervous system responds to touch and presence •What ā€œpsychedelicā€ really means (beyond substances) •Why vulnerability is biologically necessary for change •The role of oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and regulation •Ancient medicine meeting modern neuroscience •Learning to trust the body over external metrics


    Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Why vulnerability is the gateway to healing 00:04:18 — Redefining ā€œpsychedelicā€ through neuroscience 00:09:42 — Why safety must come before transformation 00:15:36 — Touch as the fastest language of the nervous system 00:22:14 — Oxytocin, trust, and the biology of calm 00:29:08 — Why willpower doesn’t heal trauma 00:36:41 — Eastern wisdom finally validated by Western science 00:43:27 — Self-touch, co-regulation, and restoring agency 00:50:12 — Listening to the body vs. outsourcing intuition to devices 00:57:19 — Building safety as a daily practice 01:04:03 — What real integration actually looks like 01:11:22 — Healing as remembering how to feel safe again


    About Dr. Dave Rabin Dr. Dave Rabin is a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience. He has spent over 15 years researching chronic stress, trauma, and non-invasive healing modalities, including MDMA-assisted therapy, touch-based regulation, and nervous system resilience.

    103. Why Isn’t Everyone Taking a Power Pause? with Neha Ruch

    What if stepping back wasn’t failure, but strategy?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, I sit down with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause, for one of the most validating conversations I’ve had about ambition, identity, and motherhood.

    Neha names something so many women feel but rarely have language for: the tension between wanting a meaningful career and wanting to be deeply present with our children, without burning ourselves out or betraying ourselves in the process. She reframes the idea of a ā€œcareer pauseā€ as an empowered, intentional choice, not a step backward, but a recalibration.

    We talk about why motherhood has been intellectually and culturally diminished, how internalized capitalism keeps women stuck in guilt loops, and why the most ambitious thing you can sometimes do is choose what matters most right now. This conversation is honest, nuanced, and deeply relieving, especially if you’ve ever felt like you were failing at something when you were actually just listening to your intuition.

    If you’ve ever felt pulled between ambition and presence… this episode is for you.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why motherhood has been ā€œdumbed downā€ culturally • The concept of the Power Pause, and why language matters • How to make intentional choices without shame or guilt • Ambition vs. intuition (and why it doesn’t have to be either/or) • Internalized patriarchy and capitalism in working motherhood • Seasonality, boundaries, and redefining success • Why presence matters more than hours

    About Neha Ruch

    Neha Ruch is the founder of Mother Untitled, a leading platform for ambitious women navigating parenthood, and the author of The Power Pause. Her work is reshaping how society understands stay-at-home motherhood, ambition, and identity. Neha has been featured on Oprah, USA Today, and beyond.

    Where This Work Continues

    This episode touches on questions we explore more deeply inside Level 3 — how to redefine success, work with seasons instead of against them, and make choices that actually support the life you’re living now.

    Level 3 focuses on the inner practices that help those choices feel steady and sustainable.

    102. Why Isn’t Everyone Tripping With Their Family? | Lauren Taus

    What if healing didn’t have to be solitary?
    What if family — messy, imperfect, deeply conditioned family — could actually be part of the medicine?

    In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, I sit down with Lauren Tauss, psychedelic facilitator, teacher, and one of the clearest communicators I know in this space. Lauren has a rare ability to bring humor, rigor, compassion, and responsibility into conversations that are often either sensationalized or sanitized.

    We talk about why ā€œlife itself is psychedelic,ā€ how healing is inherently relational, and what becomes possible when we stop treating transformation as something that happens in isolation.

    Lauren shares her own deeply personal journey — from anorexia and control to surrender, embodiment, and trust — and how psychedelic-assisted therapy helped rewire her relationship with her body, her family, and life itself.

    This conversation isn’t about glorifying substances or breaking taboos for shock value. It’s about maturity. Integration. And learning how to say hello to yourself — instead of checking out.

    If you’ve ever been curious, cautious, skeptical, or quietly fascinated by psychedelic healing… this episode will meet you with intelligence and heart.

    In this episode, we explore:
    • Why Lauren says ā€œlife is the biggest psychedelicā€ • The difference between using medicine to say hello vs. goodbye • How relational healing changes family systems • Why shame, addiction, and ā€œdrugā€ culture need a language upgrade • The connection between meditation, surrender, and psychedelic work • Healing body image, control, and fear at the root
    • What integration actually means (and why it matters more than the experience)

    Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Why isn’t everyone tripping with their family? 00:03:35 — ā€œLife is the ceremonyā€: redefining what psychedelic really means 00:06:26 — Hello vs. goodbye: the two reasons people partner with substances 00:07:47 — Compassion over judgment in addiction and numbing 00:09:15 — Lauren’s first ayahuasca experience and healing anorexia 00:12:27 — ā€œIt’s time to retire your extra-small lifeā€ 00:14:41 — Body as gift: remembering the blessing of being alive 00:15:49 — Why meditation is surrender school (and prepares you for life)

    Where This Work Continues

    If this conversation stirred something in you, especially around integration, relationship, or embodiment, you may feel drawn to Level 3.

    Level 3 is where we focus on building the inner stability, nervous system resilience, and daily practices that allow deep experiences (psychedelic or otherwise) to actually change how you live.

    101. Why Isn’t Everyone Seeing the Sacred Geometry That Shapes Reality? with Robert Edward Grant

    This episode is a transmission. Recorded live with a studio audience as part of our pilgrimage preparation, this conversation with Robert Edward Grant is a distilled journey into the mathematics of consciousness, the intelligence encoded in sacred sites, and the way reality reshapes itself through collective coherence.

    Robert is a true polymath — mathematician, inventor, artist, and explorer of ancient technologies — whose work bridges geometry, music, consciousness, and the mystery traditions. In this conversation, he reveals how pyramids function as mirrors of human awareness, why math may be the original language of God, and how sacred structures were designed to activate future timelines. This isn’t about believing anything new.

    100. Why isn’t everyone returning to ancient ritual? with Isis Indriya

    For our 100th episode, we’re bringing you a rare and deeply sacred conversation with ceremonialist, teacher, and ritual artist Isis Indriya — recorded live with the participants of our Egypt pilgrimage container. This wasn’t just an interview; it was a transmission. A remembering. A reorientation back to the technologies, rituals, and embodied wisdom that humans have used for millennia to become living temples.

    Isis is one of the most devoted students and teachers of Kemet, divination, and ancient ritual arts that I’ve ever known. Her command of lineage — and her humility within it — is breathtaking. In this conversation, she guides us into what it truly means to be in devotion, to walk as a sacred vessel, and to build an inner architecture strong enough to hold the frequencies we’re calling in.

    If you feel the pull toward Egypt, toward ancient remembrance, or toward rebuilding your own inner temple… this episode will speak directly to that place inside you.

    In this episode, we explore:

    Ā· Why devotion is a technology, not a performance Ā· How to build the inner architecture required for mystical work Ā· The difference between ego-based spirituality and lineage-based service Ā· Why ritual, prayer, and offering were central to ancient Egyptian life Ā· How to listen for your assignment — and how to prepare your body for it Ā· How to become a vessel strong enough to carry the frequency you’re seeking

    Key Moments:

    00:00:00 — Opening the space & inviting Isis to pray us in 00:01:05 — What it means to hold wisdom with humility and lineage 00:04:30 — Devotion as a living technology 00:12:44 — Building the ā€œinner templeā€ as preparation for any spiritual path 00:22:51 — Why ancient Egypt was designed as a multi-layered initiation path 00:41:10 — How to discern between ego desire and true spiritual assignment 00:57:32 — The role of ritual in strengthening the nervous system 01:10:48 — Listening to land, lineage, and your body’s knowing 01:32:20 — What it means to carry Egypt inside you
