Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

This episode is from the interview Michael Stone did with me for the Shaman Wisdom Summit with The Shift Network in 2022.

In this interview I'll take you on a healing shamanic journey to meet the Dark Goddess, who will help you transform old wounds, so you can awaken your inner magic, power, and ancient wisdom, and discover the soul gifts you are meant to share with others.

In this session, you’ll discover:

The Dark Divine Feminine is the source of all life, as she is the one who births the light
As you start your healing journey you realize you're the light, but then you're called to go deeper into the sacred darkness
As you journey into the sacred darkness, you heal deeply by birthing the golden medicine of your own inner sun

How My Heart Became My Teacher 7:33

1 day назад7:33

7:33

In this short snippet from my book Your Heart Knows How to Heal You I’m sharing about how my heart sent me an invitation to step through a doorway into a deeper wisdom found in the feminine. This invitation came on a full moon, on a cold November day, and it would forever alter me. My heart took me on a healing journey of transformation, magic and rebirth, awakening my inner Wise Woman – this ancient feminine magic and power that is embedded within our bones, flowing through our veins and wired into our DNA. This snippet is also featured in the longer podcast episode called Your Heart Knows How to Heal You. To find out more about the book, visit cissiwilliams.com/yourheartknowshowtohealyou…

Stars Cannot Shine without the Darkness of the Night 5:12

Just as stars cannot shine without the darkness of the night, a diamond can't be formed without pressure being exerted upon it. You are meant to develop your inner diamond so that you can share your light and unique gifts with others. And for your inner diamond to form, you may need the pressure of various challenges coming into your life. These can often be experienced as periods of intense darkness. For many of us, this darkness is like an invitation from our soul, urging us to go deeper on our healing journey—so instead of avoiding this darkness, we are being invited to journey into it. This short snippet from my new book is also featured in the longer podcast episode called Your Heart Knows How to Heal You.

Your Heart Knows How to Heal You 30:06

30:06

In this episode I’m sharing with you an extract from my book Y our Heart Knows How to Heal You – The Sacred Medicine in the Four Chambers of the Heart . In this book your heart becomes your teacher, taking you on a journey of healing, transformation, magic and rebirth, where you awaken your inner wise woman. This is the journey my heart took me on, when I had a heart attack – an event which was a doorway into a deeper wisdom – a wisdom found in the ancient feminine – a wisdom that I discovered was already embedded within my bones, flowing through my veins and wired into my DNA. A wisdom that also lives within you. In this episode I'll be sharing how your heart is like a wise teacher that knows your highest potential - and to help you reach this potential it may send you challenges as spiritual opportunities, to help you go deeper. While the outside world might see these challenges as 'bad', they may be exactly what is needed for you to become all that you are meant to be. I'll also share how I started my own healing journey, where I initially healed my mind (which helped me heal from a deep depression and eating disorder). And then, on a full moon in November, I received an invitation from my heart to step through another door of an initiation that would lead me into the magical realm of the ancient wisdom found in the feminine. A journey that would guide me into the sacred medicine found in the four chambers of the heart - a medicine of healing, transformation, magic and rebirth.

Shamanic Healing Series: Your Body is a Portal 1:08:42

25 weeks назад1:08:42

1:08:42

In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling that her body is her enemy, and how this is stopping her from living a life. It’s also stopping her from stepping into service to the world, as she is unable to tap into her full power. Through our linguistic part of the session, we start to see how this is a pattern of a deeper conflict between the mind and the body, the masculine and the feminine. In my tracking, I can see how this energy is linked with how the feminine has been trapped in layers of abuse, suppression and violation from the masculine, from patriarchy. Through our shamanic healing journey, she begins to release this, to shed this, so she instead can embrace the power and light of the feminine - which in this session appears as a similar energy as the Valkyries from the Norse tradition. This episode was recorded as a demo on the Shamanic Energy Medicine training , so you are going to hear how we are very embodied as we move through the shamanic healing (the students then later practice this type of shamanic healing with each other). I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us , as this healing session may also bring up things that you may want to witness and transform and heal within you - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal too. Please note that this session is only a short session - my normal sessions are up to two hours, so we then go much deeper - but two-hour sessions would be way too long to share on the podcast 😊 Also please note, that when I'm embodied in a session , so I float inside the energy we are releasing, I'm being held by Spirit, so I'm just a conduit. It's Spirit that guides the session all the time, and my body is used as an instrument, and also as a tuning fork, picking up information on what's going on in the mythical landscape of the soul of my client. This is how I can journey with the client, guiding her deeper into the healing and transformation that is waiting for her. It's because this guidance is not from me, but from Spirit.

Shamanic Healing Series: Walking with Giants 49:06

49:06

In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling attacked, where she gets the blame although she hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s as if she’s being persecuted. Now, an energy within her is beginning to rise, telling her that this is no longer acceptable. This is the energy of the feminine, and it’s longing to RISE within her. In my tracking, I begin to witness how this problem energy is affecting her in the mythical landscape of her soul. It’s an energy that’s revealing the deep wounds in both her inner masculine and feminine, and we are being taken on a very magical journey, where she moves through a deep transformation and healing. In the end, her inner feminine transforms into a giantess, and her inner masculine becomes a giant - so as she continues on her path through life, following her heart, she now has two giants walking beside her (plus her whole Spirit Team). This episode was recorded as a demo on the Shamanic Energy Medicine training , so you are going to hear how we are very embodied as we move through the shamanic healing (the students then later practice this type of shamanic healing with each other).

Shamanic Healing Series: Awaken Your Soul's Ancient Wisdom 1:02:34

1:02:34

In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling really tired, and with a heavy sadness in her heart, causing her heart to contract. She’s terrified of walking her path - the path where she’s helping others in a deep way - but in order for her to walk this path, she has to wake up to the truth of who she truly is. In my tracking (which this time is of the Tree of Life), I can witness how she’s buried aspects of her soul’s light in her roots on the left (feminine), and how she needs to WAKE HER UP! As she moves through the shamanic healing journey, she awakens her feminine power and ancient wisdom, and she also begins to realise the Mighty Beings that are walking beside her. This episode was recorded live as a demo on the Shamanic Energy Medicine training , so you are going to hear how we are very embodied as we move through the shamanic healing (the students then later practice this type of shamanic healing with each other).

In this episode you’ll meet a lovely lady, who's longing to follow the path of feminine magic, but she feels her mind is stopping her. It’s as if something is holding her back. Through the linguistic part of our session, she discovers that she has a deep fear of stepping into her feminine magic, because she fears how it can be misused, and to protect the purity of this magic, she’s buried it deep within. As I track what's going on in the mythical landscape of her soul, I can witness how there’s an energy holding her in a tight grip, preventing her from moving on to the path of her Highest Destiny - which is the path of feminine magic! It’s so clear that this is what her soul really longs for her to step into. I can see the steps we're meant to journey through so she can meet the Ancient Loving Witch from her own ancestral lineage - a Loving Witch of Magic who holds the medicine, light and love that she’s now meant to embody again. We then set off on our shamanic journey together, where she begins to realise that it’s now safe for her to awaken this powerful, ancient feminine magic within her , so she can create more light and goodness in the world. I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us , as this healing session may also bring up things that you may want to witness and transform and heal within you - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal too.

Shamanic Healing Series: Reclaiming Your Soul's Light 1:15:35

1:15:35

In this episode you'll meet a lovely lady, who’s feeling trapped and really stuck - as if she can’t move forward in life. She’s frustrated, and at times she feels helpless and totally drained of energy. Through the linguistic part of the session, she discovers how this is like an old story that’s been passed down to her. She begins to see the threads of this old story that are now poisoning her, and also the positive threads she wants to weave into the new story of her life - threads she's now choosing. As I track her (where I witness what’s happening in the mythical landscape of her soul) I can see how she’s being held in a bind - a really strong one - and as we go on this shamanic healing journey together, she begins to release this, so she instead can embrace the medicine that's waiting for her. She also moves through a soul retrieval , where she gets her soul’s light, magic and voice back. I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us , as this healing session may also bring up things that you may want to witness and transform and heal within you - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal too.

Shamanic Healing Series: Finding Your Magic 1:07:26

1:07:26

In this episode, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling pretty stuck in a dark place, and disconnected from her loved ones. She’s in a lot of pain, and through the initial linguistic part of our session, she starts to discover what it is that she needs to connect with in order for her to shift, transform, and heal this. I then track the problem energy for a few minutes, where I discover how this energy is holding her in a bind, and I also track the steps we need to journey through in order for her to heal this. I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us , as this healing session may also bring up things that you may want to witness and transform and heal within you - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal too. In this session you’ll hear me use linguistics, both during the questioning and in the shamanic journey - these linguistics are not from my mind. Instead, they are from my soul and body, as I track through my body throughout the session what is going on in my client. In that way, I’m able to witness what’s happening in the mythical landscape of her soul, so I can better guide her on this journey we are doing together. Please note that this session is only a short session - my normal sessions are up to two hours, so we then go much deeper - but two-hour sessions would be way too long to share on the podcast 😊 For more information on shamanic energy medicine visit Nordic Light Academy of Energy Medicine.

Shamanic Healing Series: Marrying the Mind & Soul, Feminine & Masculine in a Shamanic Session 14:34

30 weeks назад14:34

14:34

In this episode I'm sharing why we structure a Shamanic Healing Session into four parts - questioning, tracking, shamanic healing and mythic mapping. The questioning part of the session is to help the client find more clarity in their mind. The tracking part of the session is for the shamanic practitioner to find more clarity in what is going in the mythical landscape of the soul of her client. The shamanic healing part of the session is when the practitioner guides the client into her body, into the domain of her soul and the feminine. The mythic mapping part of the session is when the client now can weave a new map for her future, which holds all the medicine, resources and gifts she has received during the shamanic healing session, and her understanding of these. By moving through all four parts in a session, we're marrying the mind and the soul, the masculine and the feminine.

In this episode in our Shamanic Healing Series you’ll meet a lovely lady who’s feeling dizzy, loss of balance and disconnected from life. As we dive deeper, we discover that she has a fear of stepping into her light, and how this fear is linked with an old wound held in her ancestral lineage, going all the way back to the witch trials. In this particular session, we're just using healing linguistics, so there’s no shamanic healing. I'm sharing it here on the podcast as it shows how, by getting us to question what is actually happening within us, by getting us to witness what it is that our body is trying to communicate with us, we can start to tap into the medicine that will help us heal. I recommend you listen to the episode with your eyes closed, so you can come with us on this journey, as we discover the medicine she needs so she can stop hiding in the shadows and instead step into the light.

Welcome to this new Shamanic Healing Series, where I’ll be guiding you into the amazing and magical world of shamanic healing. Some sessions will just be using shamanic healing linguistics in order to guide someone from a stuck place to finding her own inner resources and medicine, so she has more choices available to her. And in other sessions I’ll first be using linguistics, and then I'll track the energetic component of the problem energy and how it's holding the client. After that I’ll guide her into the shamanic healing part of the session where we together journey into the mythical landscape of her soul. I hope that this Shamanic Healing series will inspire you to really feel the power, magic and wisdom that’s available for each and every one of us when we start to make this journey into the domain of our body and soul, where all the medicine and resources we need are available to us.
