Dear Community,

This episode is a little different—in the best way.

Host, Yasmeen Turayhi, hands the mic to her friend Bella Shing for an intimate, real conversation about Yasmeen’s new book, A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life —a practical guide to waking up from unconscious patterning and stepping into conscious authorship.

Grounded in 15+ years on the personal development path and 250+ interviews on Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen distills what she’s learned into 10 core Energy Codes designed to help you shift your identity, reclaim your energy, and create from coherence rather than conditioning.

Together, Yasmeen and Bella explore what a “glitch” actually is: the moment you see the program running your life—and realize you don’t have to keep living it. They talk about the “Matrix” as a cultural agreement built on conditional worth and performance, how people unknowingly give their power away every day, and why identity is the real engine behind long-term change. The conversation also moves into energy mastery—presence, embodiment, intuition, nervous system capacity—and why levity, play, and humor are not distractions from the sacred, but often the doorway into it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living on autopilot, this episode is a transmission back to your agency.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. What a “glitch in the matrix” really is—and how to recognize it in your own life
2. How the “Matrix” functions as a dominant cultural program built on conditional worth
3. The most common ways we give our power away (and how to call it back)
4. Why identity is the reason most people don’t change—and how to use identity intentionally
5. How intuition differs from fear (and what “nonlinear knowing” feels like)
6. Why embodiment and nervous system capacity are essential for real transformation
7. How karma, resonance, and energetic “accounting” shape what comes back to you
8. The role of humor and play in spiritual maturity—sacred doesn’t have to mean serious

About the book: A Glitch in the Matrix is Yasmeen’s love letter to the world—an accessible, grounded framework for energy mastery, presence, and conscious creation, written for anyone ready to stop sleepwalking through life and start living from inner authority.

About the guest host: Bella Shing is an artist and creator living in Lisbon. In this episode, she also shares what she’s building next, including her new app Daily Miracles, designed to help people track serendipity and train attention toward what’s working.

If this episode resonates, share it with someone you love—and let it be your reminder: your life is not a dress rehearsal.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen sits down with Michelle Masters—internationally acclaimed bestselling author, transformational facilitator, and founder of Wired for Magic—to explore the deeper energetic and subconscious roots of money.

Michelle shares how she went from having no real interest in money to creating her renowned Money Magic workshop and book, Money Magic: Clearing Your Path to Money, Time, and Happiness. She explains why most money work fails when it stays at the level of mindset and strategy, and shows how our core money patterns are actually laid down in the womb and early childhood, often entangled with our parents’ trauma and our ancestral field.

“We will not let ourselves have more than we think we deserve.” – Michelle Masters

In this episode, we explore:

• Why money, at its essence, shows up as the energy of blessings

• How core beliefs about safety, worth, and “being too much / not enough” form before age three

• The difference between changing a behavior and changing an identity

• How ancestral grief and parental overwhelm can become our money story

• A powerful question to unlock a new future: “Even if it’s not rational or reasonable, what would I most love to experience?”

• Practical ways to start revising old wiring and inviting in more ease, abundance, and support

• If you feel scattered, overwhelmed, or not fully here, this episode is for you.

• On this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I speak with Maria Christina Owl, author of Planetary Ascension: The Purpose of 3D and the Choice We Face, spiritual mentor, ceremonial leader, and teacher of indigenous wisdom technologies and energy medicine. For over 25 years, Maria has helped people break trauma patterns, reclaim soul fragments, and reconnect to the living web of life.

  We explore what it actually means to be a multidimensional human—through dreams, astral travel, intuition, and quantum DNA—and how many of us are unknowingly living inside “false timelines” that pull us away from our authentic soul path. Maria explains how to recognize when you’re off your true timeline, how fragmentation occurs through trauma, and how to begin calling your soul parts back through the body, somatic awareness, and loving adult consciousness.

  We also dive into:

  • Working consciously on the astral plane: silver cord, solar plexus portal, and why nightmares are often a recall mechanism

  • Reversal grids, the “inverted pyramid,” and shifting from over-giving to receiving support from the universe

  • Psychic interference and entities—and why Maria lives by the mantra “I have no enemies”

  • Planetary ascension, solar light, changing Earth grids, and what acceleration in 2026–2027 might really be about

  • Grief as a teacher and how being forged in the fire of loss can open us to deeper compassion and embodied love
    

  If you’ve ever felt like you’re in the wrong reality, stuck in loops, or exhausted by unseen energies, this conversation offers both language and practice for coming back to your highest timeline—through love, sovereignty, and wholeness.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen speaks with transformational guide Sascha Haert to explore the deeper architecture of intimacy, embodiment, and authentic relating.

Sascha works with women leaders who have achieved external success but still feel disconnected from themselves. Together, they unpack why relational patterns repeat, how to build partnerships rooted in truth rather than performance, and what it means to live from your deepest intelligence, the intelligence of the body.

This conversation illuminates the subtle ways we abandon ourselves, how to reclaim our needs with integrity, and why intimacy always begins with honest self-resonance.

“Intimacy only works when you stop performing and start telling the truth — not the dramatic truth, but the embodied one.” — Sascha Haert

Key Takeaways

• Why many high-performing individuals struggle with intimacy and self-connection

• How the nervous system shapes our ability to stay open, present, and receptive

• The two pillars that Sascha believes every relationship needs to thrive

• How to express truth without collapsing into reactivity or performance

• Why sensuality is a doorway to self-awareness, not just pleasure

• How polyamory can act as a healing phase — and where it becomes a bypass

• Practical tools to speak the unspoken and build authentic connections

• How to recognize and stop subtle self-abandonment in real time

• The difference between compatibility and resonance

• What it means to live from “yes” instead of fear, obligation, or pattern

In this extraordinary episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen sits down with evolutionary astrologer and Vastu gemstone master Tashi Powers, whose decades of experience reading charts for luminaries, from the Rolling Stones to Brad Pitt to Nobel Laureates, have made her one of the most respected astrologers in the world.

Together, Yasmeen and Tashi explore the hidden architecture of reality through Vastu, gemstone astrology, and evolutionary astrology—revealing how our homes, bodies, and birth charts are encoded with cosmic intelligence.

“Your home is a living organism. When you align your space with your planetary blueprint, the universe begins to conspire with you—fast.” — Tashi Powers

“These remedies aren’t symbolic. They’re vibrational technologies that have been working for 10,000 years.” - Tashi Powers

Tashi explains how to personalize Vastu using your birth chart, how gemstones communicate with planetary frequencies, and why your home is a living organism that can either harmonize or distort your destiny. She shares astonishing stories about space clearing, planetary remedies, and the Deva realm, and breaks down how colors, deities, sacred geometry, and gemstones can transform your relationships, career, creativity, and emotional harmony.

This episode also dives into:

- How Vastu aligns your home with your planetary blueprint

- Why gemstones work—and how to use them for love, money, empowerment, and protection

- How the days of the week correspond to planetary energies

- What evolutionary astrology reveals about your karma, purpose, and soul path

- The power of the moon, Venus gates, and the sacred geometry of the cosmos

- How to work with natural law, intuition, and the seed cycle of the zodiac

- The importance of the galactic center and why some souls come in with a “galactic mission”

Yasmeen and Tashi also announce the relaunch of their personalized Vastu app, Vastu Feng Shui, which turns an ancient $500-$2,000 consultation into a modern, intuitive tool for anyone to use—complete with personalized remedies for love, health, prosperity, and emotional harmony.

Dear Friend, In this powerful and far-reaching episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with writer, historian, musician, and esoteric scholar Ronnie Pontiac, one of the most important living voices on Western mysticism and hidden spiritual lineages.
Ronnie’s life was shaped by decades of work at the crossroads of hermeticism, occult philosophy, Rosicrucianism, and alternative American history. From 1981–1987, he served as research assistant and designated substitute lecturer to the legendary teacher Manly P. Hall, gaining unparalleled firsthand access to the inner currents of Western esoteric thought.

We explore his latest book, The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society. We explore the Invisible Schools, illuminating the mysterious lineage that has quietly shaped philosophy, science, art, politics, and spirituality for centuries.

“The universal reformation begins with personal reformation. You cannot transform a society if you have not already transformed within yourself.”
— Ronnie Pontiac

Together, Yasmeen and Ronnie explore:
• The hidden metaphysical roots of America and why much of U.S. history has been misunderstood, and how esoteric currents quietly shaped early American philosophy, science, and political life.
• Rosicrucianism beyond the myth - Who the Rosicrucians truly were, why their manifestos electrified Europe, and how their vision of a “universal reformation” still echoes today.
• The alchemical process of inner transformation, a rare, grounded look at how real alchemy was practiced and what its steps mean for modern seekers.
• The Hermetica, ancient Egypt, and the metaphysical revival - Why astrology, sacred geometry, and ancient esoteric philosophy are resurging today
• The battle between America’s spiritual openness and its shadow - A candid exploration of Christian nationalism, pluralism, and the long-forgotten mystical side of America’s origins.
• A profound personal story of grief, love, and spiritual revelation

Ronnie shares the moving, intimate account of losing his wife and lifelong creative partner and the extraordinary experiences that unfolded afterward, reshaping his understanding of consciousness, death, and the continuity of the soul.

After spending a decade in India under the direct guidance of Sri Kaleshwar, where she earned her PhD in Soul Doctorism, Marcie shares the sacred knowledge of the Holy Womb Chakra — an ancient spiritual system that awakens the creative power within every soul.

Together, Yasmeen and Marcie explore:

✨ What the Holy Womb Chakra truly is — and how it serves as the source of divine creation

✨ The mantras and yantras (sacred sounds and geometries) that purify karma and open the channels of creation

✨ How healing the womb can dissolve ancestral patterns, clear past relationships, and call in soul-aligned love

✨ Conscious conception rituals that invite high vibrational souls to incarnate

Hey Friends,

This episode was spectacular. In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Jennifer Hough, best-selling author of UNSTUCK and founder of The Wide Awakening, to explore what it means to become a “cosmic instigator”, someone who catalyzes quantum leaps in love, business, and consciousness.

Jennifer unpacks the science and spirit of holographic seeing, describing how we can perceive reality beyond linear time, and how thriving—not surviving—becomes the entry point to expanded awareness.

“You can’t imagine something that doesn’t already exist. Imagination is simply the door to a parallel reality that’s waiting for you to step into it.” -Jennifer Hough

We talk about the following and so much more:

• What it really means to “quantum jump” into a parallel reality

• Why paradigm shifts can rewrite hundreds of beliefs at once

• How resistance is simply feedback guiding us toward flow

• The role of biology in attuning to new dimensions of being

• The illusion of control — and how to partner with universal intelligence instead
