True Spirituality with Ange

Ange de Lumiere

Welcome to True Spirituality with Ange, the podcast where we explore spirituality on our own terms, free from preconceived notions or dogma. Growing up, I never felt like I fit into the two spiritual extremes of my family: either cynical atheism or devout Catholicism. I wanted something in between, and that"s what I hope to offer with this podcast. Join me in creating a bespoke version of spirituality that resonates with you and lights up your world, from home to work and everything in between

EP 34 Is Tarot Evil?

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/04/29

There is a lot of things that religious people find evil and tarot is definitely one of them. The question I want to explore is: are they right? This is the first of a series of episodes on the tarot as I would like to share the wisdom I have acquired about the tarot in the eighteen years that I have been studying and practising as a professional tarot reader. I started the episode by sharing some definitions of evil and of tarot. I want you to know that as far as I am concerned, people who use

EP 33 Mindfulness taught by a surgeon with Nimisha...

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/04/25

Nimisha's story of how she came to be a mindfulness teacher is memorable. About ten years ago, she was not able to perform her job as a surgeon, due to not being able to enter the operating theatre. She felt physically sick when she approached it. Her boss forced her to take some time off and had her go through a battery of tests to find out what was going on. They found nothing wrong with her body. But she often had friends and family comment on how high strung she was. She thought it was a good

EP 32 The Gentle Art of Manifesting

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/04/18

The most prominent teacher of the Law of Attraction is Esther Hicks, who channels a collective of souls called Abraham. When I first came across her book, Ask and It Is Given, I could not go past chapter one. It went against so many of the beliefs I had been taught by my parents that I could not digest its content. It actually took me years to go past chapter one. I would try, fail and put the book down. Then try again, fail again, and put the book down again. And then one day, years after my first

EP 31 The problem with waiting for someone to save you

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/04/10

Messianism is the belief in the advent of a Messiah who acts as a savior of a group of people. It is at the core of Christianity, the Messiah being Jesus Christ. You may say that this idea does not apply to you because you are not religious but if the dominant culture of the country you were born in rests on Messianism, then it is likely that it forms part of your core beliefs, albeit unconscious. It's likely to have seeped into books, films and songs and having shaped your thinking, even if you are

EP 30 The Ancient Chinese Art of Feng Shui

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/04/01

I have been a big fan of Feng Shui since the year 2000, due to a mind blowing personal experience with it. For this reason, I wanted to do an episode about it on the show. The reason I am doing it now is because I followed the signs and it seemed to be popping up a lot in my world. I do a form of space clearing, but I no longer call it Feng Shui for many reasons that will become apparent in the episode but that has to do with the fact I have never trained in it. I was tempted, but didn't. What is

EP 29 Health, Illness and Spirituality with Emma Turton

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/03/25

Emma Turton is a medical intuitive with a health professional background and the founder of the Medical Intuition School, a pioneer space where science meets spirituality. I have interviewed Emma Turton many times, in particular for the True Spirituality Summit in July 2023. In this interview, however, she answered questions I had never asked her before. We started off with her spiritual beliefs, which she articulated in a great deal of nuance, all leaning towards inclusivity. I asked her what

EP 28 Is helping other people a spiritual thing to do?

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/03/18

You may say right away, of course it’s the right thing to do to help. And you would not be alone in thinking this. I am here to share with you that things are a lot more nuanced than that. Of course selfishness is to be discouraged, if we are to have a kind society. There are countless articles that list the benefits to you in helping others. There is a part of me that wonders why do they have to list benefits for you to want to help others, but I am not going to make a huge issue out of this. What

EP 27 Does sunbathing count as meditation?

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/03/13

I am going to say it upfront: the spiritual mantra that you need to meditate in order to be spiritual or progress is rehashed ad nauseam to the point that it tastes like gum you have chewed all the flavour out of. It is also incredibly elitist and it can be an ego trap. So, yes it can be beneficial to meditate, for some. And yes, it can help you progress on your spiritual path. But no, it’s not the only way. And for some people, especially those of us who suffer from anxiety, depression or PTSD, it

EP 26 My Father Who Art In Heaven

2024/03/05

This week marked the tenth anniversary of my father's death. Some of you might consider this morbid, but actually to me, it's very special. I asked my dad if he wanted me to mark the event with some sort of celebration and he said yes and asked if I could run my treasure hunt, which I am. He has given me so many signs, it's unbelievable almost. And my treasure hunt is here to help people understand signs, their power and their meaning. We have been having so much fun, in the FB pop up group and

EP 25 Let It Be

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/02/26

"When I find myself in trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be..." Famous lines. I certainly heard them over and over again and yet, it is only when I fully embraced my spiritual journey that I started to understand their true meaning. I guess the first way that this was put in motion is when I learnt about karma. If the Big U was in charge of keeping scores, then it was no longer my job. What a relief! I no longer had to get outraged every time I thought someone did

Chantal Vanderhaeghen is a Mind Body Spirit Therapist, who has been writing a memoir called Deep Dive for the past year, and who I wanted to interview on the show because she has much wisdom to share with the world when it comes to embodied spirituality. Chantal and I have known each other for years and I admire her courage at sharing her story, which is something that took a long time for her to do, as sadly it was cloaked in shame. Now in her sixties, she is a beacon of wisdom and joy for all to

EP 22 Why Do Spiritual People Lack a Sense of Humour?

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/02/05

I know this is going to be a controversial one, but today's podcast answers the question why do spiritual people lack a sense of humour? And why they should embrace it more. I did find Christian comedians, for example, they call themselves "clean" but in the bout of research I did (I watched quite a few videos) they did makes jokes but not one of their jokes was about God or Jesus. Why? Whilst researching, I found what I consider a pretty hilarious anthology of George Carlin on religion that you can

EP 21 How to be a better person

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/01/29

I wrote an article on Medium on how to be a better person in December last year where I talked mostly about being a better listener. It talked also about the prejudice we carry towards groups of people that maybe have been known to have conflict with your own. In this episode, I go further than that and examine what we, as spiritual seekers, can do to stop some incredibly damaging practices that are commonly carried out by our peers and take a stance. I am talking mostly about cultural

EP 20: How can you find true love with Eleanor McDonald?

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/01/23

Eleanor is an Intuitive Love Coach. Eleanor was raised by two parents who were spiritual seekers who became Buddhists in their 20s and her parents talked about things other parents did not talk about, such as past lives, enlightenment, meditation, compassion and all of those topics. But because there was a disconnect and her childhood household environment was volatile, she moved away from Buddhism and into New Age practices such as the use of tarot cards, crystals and other modalities. This led

EP 19 Do Spiritual People Get Angry?

2024/01/18

I wrote an article on medium about this back in November but wanted to expand on the topic. I realised the reason why I felt I needed to wait so long before doing the episode was probably my intuition as it turns out that someone whose work I admire a lot, Caroline Strawson, is literally running her first Rage Release Retreat as we speak to help victims of narcissists deal with their repressed anger. https://carolinestrawson.com/ For years, I never got angry and I believe, wrongly may I add, that

EP 18 Can Lawyers Be Angels?

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/01/08

I didn't give much thought to angels growing up. I left church at twelve because the Catholic teachings made me cringe. So you can imagine my surprise when a psychic told me in 2003 that I had angel dust coming out of my hands. What? I wasn't amused, but in a way it planted a seed in my mind that earth angels might exist, just not me. Fast forward a year or so and I decided to train in reiki. I attended a reiki one workshop and a girl who trained with me claimed she was an earth angel. She was

EP 17: Goals, Intentions and New Year Resolutions

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2024/01/04

What is the best way to achieve your dreams in 2024? Is it through intention setting? Goals? New Year Resolutions? Or maybe even the Law of Attraction. In this episode, I explain the difference between these four modalities and the pluses and minuses of them all. For me, Goals tend to be purely action driven and are often rooted into what our minds believe we should be doing. They lack the energy of co-creation and can be a big rigid. They can also compound our feelings of failure if we are

Dr Lulu is a paediatrician and coach who works with LGBTQIA+ families, as well as an activist. I asked her to come on the show to discuss how we can create more inclusive spiritual spaces. Although she retired as a physician a little over two years ago, she is now coming back into medicine with a new angle: offering gender care for transgender individuals. She is passionate about rectifying the myths and misinformation around what gender care really is. But Dr Lulu is also a member of the LGBTQIA+

EP 15 How to Have the Best Christmas Ever

True Spirituality with Ange ·

2023/12/19

Christmas time can be very stressful in the Western World. Whilst everywhere we see images of happy gatherings, the reality can be very different. Everything gets a little frantic. People spend time buying presents and of course there are the family gatherings. Everyone wants everything to be perfect. And I sometimes wonder, if the same pressure exists in other religious traditions such as Diwali, Hanukkah or Yule. Personally, it's too much pressure and if you add to this a relative level of
