In this deeply moving episode of Mindful Mastery, Vanessa Ooms is joined by counselor and Akashic Records reader Carissa Brockman for a rich conversation about healing, transformation, and the wisdom available to us through higher consciousness.
Together, they explore how spiritual practices like the Akashic Records intersect with psychology, embodiment, and everyday life — especially during moments of grief, loss, and profound change.
This episode offers a grounded, compassionate look at channeling not as something abstract or “otherworldly,” but as a practical tool for insight, creativity, and emotional healing.
Carissa shares her experience of opening the Akashic Records and what it truly means to channel guidance with clarity and integrity. Rather than bypassing human emotion, this process invites deeper presence, responsibility, and discernment.
The conversation highlights the importance of clear intention, energetic boundaries, and staying embodied while accessing higher wisdom.
Channeling is also explored as a creative act — one that opens pathways for expression, intuition, and meaning. Vanessa and Carissa discuss how spiritual insight often arrives through creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to listen rather than force answers.
This section of the conversation invites listeners to soften their approach to growth and trust the natural unfolding of insight.
A powerful theme throughout the episode is the role of discomfort in healing. Carissa speaks to the necessity of staying present with challenging emotions rather than rushing to fix or transcend them.
Growth, they reflect, often requires moving through discomfort — not around it — with compassion and self-awareness.
The conversation gently weaves in somatic awareness and internal family systems, exploring how the body holds memory, trauma, and wisdom. Carissa shares insights into protector parts and how understanding them can lead to greater integration and safety within the nervous system.
This embodied approach allows healing to happen organically, without force or judgment.
One of the most tender parts of the episode centers on grief — particularly the grief of losing a beloved animal companion. Vanessa and Carissa speak openly about how animals support our emotional and spiritual evolution, and how grief itself can become a doorway to deeper connection and expansion.
Rather than something to “get over,” grief is honored as a necessary and meaningful process.
As the episode draws to a close, the conversation reflects on how breakdowns often carry the seeds of transformation. Spiritual awakening, they suggest, isn’t about avoiding pain — it’s about learning how to meet life with curiosity, openness, and trust.
This episode is a reminder that healing unfolds in layers, and higher wisdom is always available when we’re willing to listen.
