S2 E2 - Intuition, Prophecy & the Language of the Soul

Episode Title: Intuition, Prophecy & the Language of the Soul

In this deeply heart-centered episode of the LightSong Talking Stick Podcast, co-hosts Jan Engels-Smith and Micah Schwader explore the many dimensions of intuition—its spiritual roots, psychological clarity, and poetic beauty. The conversation begins with a grounding invocation as Jan guides listeners into breath, presence, and the welcoming field of divine support.

From there, Jan and Micah open a rich dialogue about intuition as the "quiet language of the soul," sharing their personal stories, shamanic experiences, and teachings on how intuitive knowing shows up in everyday life. They discuss:

• Three perspectives on intuition—spiritual, psychological, and poetic—and how they all point to the same inner truth.
• Right-brain intelligence and heart knowing, and why intuition bypasses logic to land as a calm, instant understanding.
• Prophetic dreams and shamanic guidance, including Micah's profound visions preceding Hurricane Katrina and his mother's passing, and Jan's experiences with claircognition and spirit-led dreaming.
• The repression of intuition and imagination throughout history—especially through patriarchal structures and the Inquisition—and the modern reclaiming of these innate "superpowers."
