The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny

Dreams, Orbs, Animal Souls, Remote Viewing, and the Energy Behind Manifestation

Julia Cannon Opens The Metaphysical Hour

In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, hosts Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Tiffany welcome listeners back for a live question-and-answer conversation about energy, dreams, spirit communication, remote viewing, manifestation, and QHHT. Julia begins by explaining that the previous week had been unusually draining for her energetically, and Tracie connects that to the possibility of solar flares, moon energy, and larger energetic shifts. The hosts check in with the audience, ask listeners to share where they are shining their light from, and frame the show as a global grid of people strengthening their energy together.

Energy Shifts, Sleep, and Forward Movement

The opening conversation focuses on how the hosts are personally feeling. Tracie says she feels more optimistic, as if a stagnant or paused energy has finally begun moving again. Julia agrees that things feel better than the previous week, especially because she has been sleeping better. The hosts emphasize the importance of sleep for the body, even if the soul itself does not need it in the same way. They describe the current energy as one of gradual forward movement, after a period of waiting, limbo, and low vitality.

Orbs, Colors, Shadows, and Trusting Inner Feeling

The first questions involve the meaning of gray or black colors around orbs or people, and why crossed-over pets may sometimes appear as dark shadows. Tracie suggests that gray may indicate cloudy or depressed energy, while Julia says it could also reflect a partial disconnection from the body or a state of trauma, depending on the context. They both stress that the person seeing the orb or shadow should trust their own feeling. If the experience feels loving or curious, that matters; if it feels fearful, the viewer should check whether the fear is coming from the situation or from their own uncertainty about the unknown.

Animal Kingdoms and Collective Souls

The hosts also discuss the idea of collective souls in the animal kingdom, connecting it to Dolores Cannon’s teachings about animal group souls. Julia explains that animals are part of a collective or group consciousness, but when a person brings an animal into their personal life, gives it love, attention, and a distinct personality, that relationship helps develop the animal’s individuality. Tracie adds that this relationship gives the animal soul an opportunity to evolve. The conversation presents human-animal relationships as spiritually meaningful, because love and connection can help an animal soul become more individualized.

Remembering Dreams and Understanding Dream Symbols

Another major theme is dream recall. The hosts recommend writing dreams down as soon as possible after waking, because details disappear quickly if people wait until morning. Tracie shares that she does not always write dreams down, but certain dreams have stayed with her for years because they felt more like visions than ordinary dreams. Tiffany recalls childhood dreams about “killer rolling pulleys” wearing Converse shoes and sunglasses, which leads the hosts to discuss how strange dreams may be visits to other worlds, symbolic experiences, or reflections of other lives. They also recommend using dream books, especially Betty Bethards’ The Dream Book, while reminding listeners to trust what resonates personally.

Dreams, the Veil, and Shadow Beings

Julia and Tracie explain that some experiences after sleep, such as seeing shadow figures or having sleep-paralysis-like visions, may happen because the soul is not fully reconnected with the body yet. In that transitional state, a person may see through the veil into another dimension and interpret what they see through fear. Julia says some people assume they are seeing dark or evil entities when they may actually be seeing guides or other beings in a form the conscious mind cannot fully process. The hosts encourage listeners to remove fear and judgment, pray or call in their team if needed, and remember that not everything unfamiliar is harmful.

Fear, ETs, and Learning to Stay Centered

The hosts spend time discussing fear as one of the major energies people come to Earth to experience and learn from. Tracie shares a memory of a mantis-being dream or encounter in which she kept checking her solar plexus to see whether fear was present. Because she felt no fear, she stayed with the experience. Julia says extraterrestrial beings and other-dimensional beings often work to approach humans in ways that do not immediately trigger fear, because fear interferes with communication and growth. The hosts explain that fear can sometimes be protective, but living in fear keeps people from expanding.

Manifestation, Soul Contracts, and What Really Needs to Be Created

A question from Instagram leads to a discussion about manifestation and soul contracts. The question asks whether manifesting can work if the soul has already planned certain lessons. Julia and Tracie explain that if a desired manifestation would interfere with a soul path, it may not happen. They use the example of someone trying to manifest a lottery win when the deeper desire may actually be freedom, travel, ease, or playfulness. They suggest focusing on the feeling or experience behind the desire rather than the specific outer object. They also caution that manifestation cannot control another person, because each soul has its own path and free will.

Remote Viewing, Remote Healing, and Energy Connection

The hosts then discuss remote viewing and remote healing. Tracie says remote viewing has been coming up more often and that beings such as the mantis beings have been working with people on telepathy and remote perception. Julia and Tracie explain that because everything is energy, people can practice remote viewing by connecting with a person, place, pet, or situation through the energy field. They share examples of remotely checking on animals and of a group remote-healing exercise during a trip to Egypt, where participants attempted to perceive and send healing to someone at a distance. The lesson is that energy connection does not require physical proximity.

Colors, Auras, Sound, and Expanding Perception

A listener asks about seeing colors while sending love and light. Julia and Tracie say this could be the person’s aura, spirit energy, guides, or the energetic field responding. They explain that energy has color, sound has color, and as consciousness evolves, people may begin seeing more colors, auras, and dimensional overlays than before. Julia connects this to expanding perception, DNA activation, and humanity becoming a vibrational match for frequencies that have always existed but were not previously visible to most people.

QHHT, Santa Fe Retreat, and Closing Reminders

The episode closes with reminders about QHHT, where listeners can find practitioners, ask deeper questions, and become practitioners themselves. Julia directs people to QHTOfficial.com, while Tracie mentions the coupon code The Magic Is Real for the Level One course. They also promote an upcoming retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, scheduled for September 3–7, with the discount code 5DLOVE. The show ends with the hosts thanking the audience, encouraging listeners to continue exploring their intuition, and reminding them that energy, dreams, fear, manifestation, and spirit communication are all part of the larger process of awakening.

Teri, a renowned coach, author, and speaker, will inspire and uplift us with her gift of encouragement, alongside her husband Dave, a special witness for Jesus Christ.

Pastor Joe Schofield Opens Raising Expectations

In this episode of Raising Expectations, host Pastor Joe Schofield welcomes listeners and introduces the program’s faith-centered mission of raising expectations through Christ, family, freedom, finances, and encouragement. He notes that Stefanie Thayer and Dr. Craig Thayer are not present for this episode, while Dr. Paul Hall, Ron Greer, and Melba Schofield join the conversation. Pastor Joe also welcomes returning guest Teri Werner, describing her as part of the Raising Expectations family and highlighting her work as a transformative coach and author of Train Wreck to Triumph.

Teri Werner Reflects on Father’s Day and God’s Loving Kindness

Teri opens the main discussion by reflecting on the approaching Father’s Day season and the spiritual importance of fatherhood. She shares how deeply her own father shaped her understanding of God’s loving kindness, describing the biblical idea of loving kindness as covenant loyalty, mercy, forgiveness, grace, unconditional love, and steadfast affection. Teri explains that many women told her that getting to know her father helped them better understand the Heavenly Father, because he gave them a visible example of godly love, strength, and care.

Fathers, Daughters, and the Formation of Identity

A central theme of the episode is the powerful influence fathers have on daughters. Teri says daughters often see themselves, the world, and future relationships through the lens their fathers give them. If a father shows love, respect, attention, and honor, a daughter is more likely to expect those things from others. If he withholds them, she may become comfortable with neglect, disrespect, or emotional distance. Teri also discusses how girls who do not know their importance to their father by adolescence may later search for validation through overachievement, overproduction, or unhealthy relationships.

Ron Greer on Fatherlessness and Social Breakdown

Ron Greer responds by drawing on his years of ministry and research, including work with prison ministry and men’s discipleship. He says the absence of a biological father in the home is strongly connected to many social problems, including incarceration, gang involvement, school dropout rates, suicide risk, sexual assault, and cycles of family breakdown. Ron emphasizes that the damage of fatherlessness can continue across generations, affecting children, grandchildren, marriages, and spiritual identity. He argues that nothing is more important than a biological or godly father figure who reflects the character of the Heavenly Father.

The Struggle to Understand God as Father

The group also discusses how painful father experiences can make it difficult for people to understand God as a loving Father. Ron explains that when he trained people for prison ministry, he warned them to be careful using phrases like “loving Father,” because many inmates had no positive concept of fatherhood. To them, “father” could mean abandonment, hurt, harsh discipline, or distrust. Teri adds that hopelessness can enter when a person cannot trust an earthly father and then struggles to trust God. The conversation frames healing as a process of separating God’s true character from wounded earthly examples.

Gender Identity, Masculinity, and the Family

Dr. Paul Hall raises the question of gender identity and how it may connect to father absence, family confusion, and cultural instability. Ron responds that many identity struggles are tied to the lack of strong father figures and the destruction of biblical masculinity. He argues that Satan’s attack on manhood, marriage, and family begins in Genesis and continues today. The discussion also touches on feminism, the cultural shifts of the 1970s, abortion, the Ahab and Jezebel spirits, and the ways both men and women can abandon or distort their God-given roles. Teri stresses that these issues are not simply about blaming one gender, but about recognizing spiritual patterns that damage families.

Mentorship, Spiritual Fathers, and Restoring Young Men and Women

The conversation then turns toward solutions. Ron describes resources from Man in the Mirror, including tools for spiritual fathers, mentoring, and discipleship, designed to help older men pour wisdom into younger men. He says men do not need to be trained theologians to mentor; they simply need life experience, scars, humility, and willingness to be transparent. Teri asks how similar mentoring could be created for women, suggesting that women also need trusted guides who can help them grow in identity, faith, and emotional health. The group agrees that mentoring must be built on trust, transparency, and real engagement rather than lectures or shallow church activity.

Churches, Leadership, and the Need for Relevance

The hosts and guest also discuss the need for churches and denominations to become more engaged with real-life struggles rather than relying on old formats, dark stages, loud worship, institutional meetings, or surface-level programming. Teri argues that leadership is a skill requiring intentional study, engagement, and the ability to connect with people where they are. Ron adds that many pastors themselves grew up in an era affected by fatherlessness and may not have been trained in biblical manhood or discipleship. The group says churches need to return to making disciples, not merely drawing people into buildings, and must provide meaningful guidance for young men and women searching for significance.

Transparency, Brokenness, and the Cross

Near the end, Dr. Paul Hall points to brokenness and the necessity of the cross, saying people must understand that they were bought with a price and fiercely loved by Christ. Teri adds that real connection comes through emotional intimacy, trust, and transparency. She says people are changed when leaders are willing to be honest, vulnerable, and Christlike, not when they simply perform or try to be popular. Pastor Joe closes by emphasizing that painful experiences can become sources of strength, peace, and purpose when brought under Christ’s healing. He thanks Teri, Ron, Paul, and Melba, previews next week’s guest Brad Stine, and encourages listeners to lift their expectations to the Lord and trust Him for a cure rather than a temporary bandage.
