Join the quest: Enthusiasts and Professional Practitioners
Welcome to MindstreamConnect.com! It’s still early days here, but we are committed to helping seekers, healers and the curious connect for authentic mind-body-spirit experiences.
We define “mind-body-spirit” as complementary, alternative and natural health practices, and spiritual growth and personal development disciplines that are considered holistic as they affect the whole human system (physical, mental, emotional, etc.) in ways that are recognised empirically, if not yet fully proven clinically.
Since science is making great headway with research — but still hasn’t caught up to finding evidence for ancient medicine and healing methods — we’ll be bringing the science and the history and first-hand accounts to light so you can understand options and explore them to find the right fit for your goals.
We’ve started by covering news in the holistic wellness sector — from aromatherapy, crystals and energy healing to intuitive communication, sound therapy and more — and publishing essays on insights, values and life lessons. Our podcast episodes highlight major trends, challenges and opportunities in mind-body-spirit, and also deep-dives into topics with experts. You can catch up on previous episodes by listening here or on your favourite audio platform or read the full transcripts with links. You’ll learn actionable tips and fascinating wisdom from the likes of Andrew Johnson on meditation, UK wellness leaders on the scene here, and Caroline Watt, Ph.D., who heads parapsychology research at the University of Edinburgh.
Whether you are simply curious about the metaphysics of day-to-day life or believe supernatural powers are natural powers, the information presented here hopes to inform, inspire and, perhaps, enlighten. The goal is to help us understand how mind-body-spirit solutions can lead to greater health and happiness — for all.
Please join me this journey! And let me know how I can help you connect mind, body and spirit by contacting me here or via social media.
Love+Light,

Mind-body-spirit disciplines on growth track as people seek to improve quality of life
Society is continuing to shift attitudes and behaviours toward holistic wellbeing, and just-released evidence shows it’s both a bottom-up and top-down movement. Concepts and practices previously juxtaposed as incongruous – such as Eastern and Western medical practices, the interplay between mind and matter, science versus spirituality, or modern technology and ancient wisdom – are increasingly being embraced by the public and the health establishment as compatible approaches to wellness.

Podcast (Ep. 3, Part I of II): Valuing professional work that springs from natural gifts
In Episode 3 of The Mindstream Podcast, we’re discussing the money mindset of professionals who draw on their natural gifts as a vocation, like healers and creatives — those for whom the value of the goods and services they generate are initiated by tapping into their own natural or, some might say, supernatural abilities and expressing them for the benefit of others.
