Our guest, Lori Joan Swick, author, poet, professor, and mystic thinker, reveals how dreams act as messengers from our deep consciousness, guiding us toward healing, self-awareness, and ancestral wisdom. From ancient rituals of dream incubation to women\u2019s hidden role in dream interpretation, Lori helps us rediscover dreaming as a sacred art that bridges the divine and the human. This conversation challenges the Western dismissal of dreams and invites listeners to reclaim the forgotten feminine wisdom that has always flowed through dreamscapes.\nAbout the Guest\nLori Joan Swick, Ph.D. is an author, poet, professor, and spiritual historian. With expertise in world religions, mysticism, and women\u2019s spirituality, she wrote Dreaming: The Sacred Art to help readers transform dreams into tools for self-discovery and healing. Through her teaching, writing, and video blog series She Started It, Lori highlights the untold stories of women in religious and spiritual history.\nKey Takeaways\n\n\nDreams are sacred messages from the deep psyche and can be tools for healing and self-discovery.\n\n\nDreaming traditions across world religions and indigenous cultures reveal powerful practices for connecting to spirit.\n\n\nWomen have historically been recognized as dream interpreters, prophetesses, and wisdom figures, though their contributions have often been silenced.\n\n\nRituals such as bathing, candle lighting, and setting dream intentions can activate sacred dreaming.\n\n\nLucid dreaming and dream journaling deepen awareness and open portals to ancestral and divine feminine wisdom.\n\n\nDream practices create a feedback loop: the more we honor our dreams, the richer and more transformative they become.\n\n\nReclaiming dreamwork is also reclaiming women\u2019s lost voices in spiritual traditions.\n\n\nDreams can reveal prophetic insights, visitation experiences, and creative inspiration when consciously cultivated.\n\n\nConnect with the Guest\nWebsite: lorijoanswick.comFacebook &amp; Instagram: Lori Joan SwickVideo Blog: She Started It (featured on her website)\n\nWant to be a guest on Inner Peace, Better Health?\nDM on PodMatch \u2013 Send me a message\nCHECK PODCAST SHOWS &amp; BE A GUEST:\n\n\nTune to all our 19 podcasts: Listen here\n\n\nSubscribe to Newsletter: Join here\n\n\nJoin Community: Connect here\n\n\nOUR SERVICES\n\n\nBusiness Podcast Management\n\n\nIndividual Podcast Management\n\n\nShare Your Story With World\n\n\nSTAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!\n\n\nMedium\n\n\nYouTube\n\n\nInstagram\n\n\nFacebook\n\n\nLinkedIn Page\n\n\nLinkedIn\n\n\nTwitter\n\n\nPinterest\n\n\nSHARE YOUR REVIEW\n\n\nLeave a Google Review\n\n\nSubmit a Video Testimonial\n\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n#podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #podepisode #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/9ff941b2-c1de-4621-8434-9d436107732d/ogy0os5qcgc.jpg"}
