Listen for free

The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a smart, funny take on consciousness and spiritual awakening for curious minds who want reassurance, not dogma...and a pragmatic way into the unknown.

Join Will and Karen, hosts of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, as they dive into spiritual awakening, ascension, expanded consciousness, and metaphysical mysteries with humor and humanity.

Born from an existential breakdown (yep, the spiritual kind), the show dives headfirst into the wild world of spiritual awakenings, energy work, consciousness expansion, soul growth, near-death experiences, psychic phenomena, manifestation, mysticism, inner work, and the quantum mysteries that connect us all.

Each week, Will brings the wide-eyed curiosity of a seeker reawakened to his soul purpose, while Karen balances the vibe with grounded intuition, mindfulness, thoughtful insights, and just the right amount of side-eye. Together, they create a safe space for exploring spirituality, alignment with your higher self, and the deeper dimensions of wellness without losing your grip on the real.

Whether you're a full-on spiritual explorer navigating your soul journey or just metaphysical-curious about raising your vibration, this show is your backstage pass to conversations with:
  • Mediums & mystics
  • Spiritual awakening coaches
  • Scientists of consciousness and quantum healing
  • Energy healers, channelers & ascension guides
  • And everyday people with extraordinary stories of transformation
Why listeners love it:
It's smart, soulful, funny, and deeply validating. Like having a chat with your most spiritually woke friend who gets both the profound and the practical sides of soul growth… and still knows how to laugh at themselves.
⸻
It's not about blind belief. It's about brave exploration of consciousness, inner work, and remembering your connection to the quantum field of infinite possibilities. Tune in. Wake up. Align with your highest self. And maybe...just maybe...remember who you really are.

  • How Qigong Healed 200,000 People Inside a Medicine-Less Hospital

    How Qigong Healed 200,000 People Inside a Medicine-Less Hospital
    May 27 2026
    You've meditated. You've journaled. You've done the work. So why do you still feel stuck? If that question hits a nerve, this episode is for you. Master Mingtong Gu has a clear and somewhat unsettling answer, and it has nothing to do with your mindset.About This Episode Master Mingtong Gu trained at a real hospital in China where the only prescription was energy, no medicine, no surgery, no supplements, just Qigong practice, all day, every day. The results were documented. The patients were real. And the conditions being healed were the kind conventional medicine had already given up on. In this conversation, Will and Karen sit down with Master Gu to explore what Wisdom Healing Qigong actually is, why most of us are spiritually "trying" from the neck up while completely bypassing the body, and what that disconnect costs us in an age increasingly dominated by AI. His core argument is simple and hard to shake: the gap between knowing something and actually living it doesn't live in your mind. It lives in your body.What You'll DiscoverWhy "incurable" is a statement about a doctor's limits, not yours, and what Master Gu says that means for your healingThe two patterns of energy that explain chronic stress, anxiety, and physical tension in one framework, and why "negative energy" might be the wrong lens entirelyWhat 8 to 10 hours of daily Qigong practice at the medicine-less hospital actually looked like, and why the intensity matteredThe surprising reason group practice produces results that solo practice can't replicate, including what a 30-day energy measurement study foundWhy the AI conversation isn't just about technology. it's about whether we're choosing to remain humanA short embodiment practice Master Gu leads mid-episode that you can do right now, hands on chest, no experience requiredThis Episode Hits Differently If... You've explored meditation, energy healing, or spiritual awakening and still feel a gap between the concept and the actual lived experience. Master Gu doesn't offer another belief system. He offers a way back into your body, where he says the real work, and the real medicine, has been waiting all along. Listen.

  • What the Alien Abduction Community Gets Wrong. A Lifelong Experiencer Finally Sets the Record Straight.

    What the Alien Abduction Community Gets Wrong. A Lifelong Experiencer Finally Sets the Record Straight.
    May 26 2026
    What if everything the alien abduction community has told you about contact is built on a broken foundation? Jeremy Vaeni has been living with unexplained encounters his entire life, and he's spent decades doing what almost no one in the experiencer community does: questioning the story itself.

    In this bonus episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Jeremy breaks down why hypnosis... the tool that built the modern abduction narrative...is a storytelling device, not a memory retrieval tool. He explains why figures like Budd Hopkins actively filtered out experiencer testimony that didn't fit the "alien doctor" script, and why the far stranger, more honest picture looks less like a sci-fi medical drama and more like a lifetime of high strangeness rooted in liminal moments and deep psychological rupture.

    But that's only half the conversation. Jeremy has also been living with active kundalini energy for 25 years. Not practicing it. Not chasing it. Living with it the way you live with weather. He argues that kundalini, like the abduction phenomenon, has been completely misrepresented by the communities built around it. What it actually is, he says, is the will of silence. Ultimate intelligence moving through a body that has dissolved its sense of self.

    In this episode:
    • Why hypnotic regression produces fantasy, not memory, and what that means for the entire abduction canon
    • The trickster theory of paranormal phenomena and why high strangeness clusters around liminal life events
    • What indigenous frameworks reveal that the Western "alien" construct deliberately erases
    • How Jeremy's own encounters changed after his kundalini activation, and why they eventually stopped
    • The three extraordinary kundalini events that led to a full ego dissolution and a direct experience of universal consciousness
    • Why Jeremy is skeptical of the current wave of government UAP disclosure hype
    • His book, Kundalini and the Secrets of Silence, and the practical path from brain to heart he developed involuntarily over 25 years
    Jeremy Vaeni co-hosted the long-running paranormal podcast Paratopia with the late Jeff Ritzmann and has spent his career refusing to let the map replace the territory.

  • Why Everything You've Been Told About Manifesting Is Incomplete

    Why Everything You've Been Told About Manifesting Is Incomplete
    May 20 2026
    What if everything you've ever wanted isn't somewhere out there waiting to be attracted...but already here, broadcasting like a radio signal you just haven't learned to tune into yet? That's where this conversation starts. And it only gets more interesting from there.

    Cathy Heller spent three years studying ancient Jewish mysticism with rabbis in Jerusalem, not on a retreat...during a war. And what she brought back has been downloaded over 45 million times. Her distinction between the Law of Attraction and the Law of Reception sounds subtle. It isn't. It changes everything about how you understand why some people seem to effortlessly move through life while the rest of us are white-knuckling the steering wheel.

    In this episode, you'll hear about the radio metaphor that's been living rent-free in Cathy's head for 25 years, a mole who whispered the secret of the universe to God, what Michael Jordan said to her on a stranded flight in the middle of a snowstorm, and why the moment she walked out of a networking event she could not stand, she ran directly into the head of Apple Podcasts.

    Also: why your nervous system might be the single biggest thing standing between you and the life you want. And what five minutes every morning can actually do about it.

    This one's a frequency shift. Don't miss it.
