Eye Opener Society

This week, something special is happening on the Monday morning slot.
Instead of a traditional Eye Opener Society episode, we are featuring Without a Candle, where Gary Dean appears as a guest with hosts Karlie and Carla for an unfiltered deep dive into trauma healing, meditation, Reiki, metaphysics, conspiracy research, and the future of spiritual community-building.
From a 2022 mental health crisis to launching Third Eye Meditation and ultimately founding Eye Opener Society, Gary shares the raw and transformative journey that reshaped his life. He opens up about trauma-focused healing, the Reiki session that reignited his purpose, daily meditation discipline, oracle card work, Akashic Records exploration, and his ongoing studies through the University of Sedona.
This episode explores:
• Mental health breakdown and spiritual awakening• Reiki healing and trauma recovery• Daily meditation practices and energy work structure• Oracle cards, Akashic Records, and intuitive development• Certification vs. lived spiritual experience• Ethical business practices in the metaphysical field• Setting energetic boundaries and practitioner aftercare• Waitlists, intake processes, and professional spiritual services• UFO encounters and personal sightings• Spirit-release work and non-human attachment cases• Building a global metaphysical community
Gary also reflects on the evolution of Eye Opener Society and the powerful relationships formed with collaborators including Lizzie (energy.by.lizzie), Jennifer Miller, Melissa, His stepdaughter Hannah, Elaine Arcana (Elaine’s Arcane Tarot), Ann Lund (Haunted and Waiting), Sunset Child of Sunset Childs Out There Podcast, and Hannah Rose of The Sound Within.
And stay until the end.
Because Gary makes a major announcement — revealing plans to launch a non-denominational, no-dogma spiritual and metaphysical church designed to bridge meditation, education, retreats, ethical energy work, and accessible community healing.

Join host Ann Lund of Haunted and Waiting on the Eye Opener Society podcast for a chilling and thought-provoking deep dive into scrying — the ancient occult practice of gazing into dark reflective surfaces to access visions, messages, and sometimes disturbing imagery.
From black mirrors and obsidian stones to still water, candle flames, smoke, and crystal spheres, this episode explores how cultures across the world have used reflective surfaces as portals into altered states of perception.
Ann opens with a haunting personal account: a friend who stared into the black water beneath an oak-tree-shaded mountain lake and began seeing faces emerging from the darkness. Was it imagination — or something deeper?
🏺 Ancient Origins of Scrying
Long before modern paranormal investigation, priests and mystics practiced forms of divination through reflection:
Mesopotamian rituals using bowls of oil and water
Greek hydromancy in sacred springs and early psychomantia
Celtic wells and darkened battle shields
Medieval church opposition to reflective divination
A key historical figure discussed is John Dee, advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, who famously used an obsidian mirror for spiritual communication — a practice both influential and controversial in Renaissance England.
🧠 Science, Psychology & the Paranormal
Ann bridges ancient occult tradition with modern research, including the work of Raymond Moody, who recreated a “psychomanteum” chamber where participants reported vivid visions without hypnosis or suggestion.
This episode examines:
Trance states and perceptual filtering
The brain’s role in symbolic imagery
Why staring into darkness alters consciousness
Modern reports of faces appearing in phone screens, mirrors, windows, and skylights
Whether scrying reveals hidden perception rather than creating fantasy
Is scrying paranormal… psychological… or both?
📖 Pop Culture & Fear
From medieval superstition to modern fiction, reflective divination has always carried mystery and danger. Ann references the palantír from The Lord of the Rings, demonstrating how scrying lore continues to influence storytelling and our collective imagination.
🎙 Key Takeaways
✔ How to safely begin scrying (tools & gentle methods)✔ Why so many cultures report similar experiences✔ What neuroscience says about trance and vision✔ The risks and rewards of reflective divination✔ Why scrying sits at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and fear
Listeners are invited to share their own mirror visions, water-gazing experiences, and unexplained encounters. Visit Haunted and Waiting’s blog and social channels for transcripts, resources, and additional paranormal case studies.

What if meditation wasn’t about sitting still?
In this powerful installment of the Eye Opener Society Guided Meditation Series, host Gary Dean teams up live with co-host Lizzie for an experiential session designed specifically for high-energy minds, restless bodies, and anyone who has ever said, “Meditation isn’t for me.”
This episode challenges one of the biggest meditation myths: that inner peace requires complete silence, rigid posture, and zero movement. Instead, Terry demonstrates how meditation through movement can unlock stillness naturally — without forcing it.
Perfect for beginners, skeptics, overthinkers, runners, busy parents, creatives, and anyone with an active nervous system, this session introduces practical, accessible techniques including:
Gentle breath awareness
Subtle weight shifts and grounding through the feet
Shoulder rolls and natural arm swings
Shaking out stored tension
Placing hands over the heart to feel the heartbeat
Allowing thoughts to pass without chasing, judging, or fixing them
Gary guides Lizzie in real time, tailoring the practice to someone whose energy prefers motion. Listeners experience how movement releases stagnant energy and becomes a gateway into authentic stillness — not by suppressing energy, but by honoring it.
After the guided portion, Lizzie reflects on the emotional and physical shifts she experienced, sharing how movement-based meditation revealed new perspectives and a deeper sense of calm she didn’t expect.
Key Takeaways:
Everyone can meditate — even if you “can’t sit still”
Balance comes from honoring your natural energy
Movement can be a doorway to inner peace
Regular practice strengthens emotional regulation and clarity
Meditation is adaptable, practical, and global
This episode blends compassionate coaching, practical techniques, and candid conversation — making it ideal for international listeners seeking stress relief, nervous system regulation, mindfulness training, emotional resilience, and modern meditation practices.
Whether you’re new to mindfulness, exploring breath awareness, or looking for alternative meditation styles, this session proves that stillness isn’t the absence of motion — it’s what emerges when energy is allowed to move.
Listen, move, breathe — and discover how meditation can finally work for you.

In this powerful continuation episode of Eye Opener Society, the host reconnects with longtime collaborator Lizzie to dive deeper into the evolving landscape of modern relationships — from marriage and romantic partnerships to friendships and chosen community.
Following last week’s conversation, they explore what happens when relationships reach a breaking point — those intense “tower moments” that shake foundations and demand restructuring. Are these endings… or invitations to rebuild stronger?
The episode opens with gratitude for recent collaborations and a transformative visit to Appalachian Rootworks, along with heartfelt acknowledgments to:
Haunted and Waiting host Ann Lund
Sunset Child
Hannah Rose of The Sound Within
Arcane Oracle and Elaine
From there, the conversation expands into deeply relatable territory:
✨ Why treating relationships as ownership creates suffering✨ How modern life is shifting us toward a community-based mindset✨ The danger of relying on one person to meet every emotional need✨ How platforms like Marco Polo can open doors to new perspectives and authentic connection✨ Financial, legal, and emotional entanglements in marriage and separation✨ Parenting, partnership evolution, and redefining commitment
Lizzie and the host speak candidly about radical honesty, emotional accountability, healthy boundaries, and protecting your inner authority without trying to control others.
They also preview an upcoming adult-themed episode exploring intimacy, sexual connection, and the emotional wounds that surface in the bedroom — with plans to invite professional perspectives for a deeper discussion.
This episode is for anyone navigating:
Marriage struggles
Relationship conflict
Separation or divorce contemplation
Communication breakdowns
Emotional growth within partnerships
Building healthy community alongside committed love
Listeners will walk away with practical tools:✔ Reassess your communication channels✔ Expand your support network✔ Pause during emotional chaos✔ Decide consciously whether to rebuild or release✔ Honor both independence and sacred partnership
As always, Eye Opener Society delivers raw, compassionate, unfiltered dialogue designed to challenge perspectives and inspire conscious living.
If you’re feeling the shift happening in your relationships, this episode may be exactly what you need.

In this powerful Saturday bonus episode of Eye Opener Society, Gary Dean shares an emotional and transformative weekend at Appalachian Rootworks in Cynthiana, Kentucky — a sacred metaphysical space dedicated to community, healing, and spiritual growth.

✨ The importance of spiritual community in 2026✨ Breaking stigma around witches, Wiccans, pagans, and spiritual practitioners✨ Finding your tribe in a divided world✨ Owning your intuitive and empathic gifts✨ Standing in truth despite persecution✨ Supporting local metaphysical businesses and spiritual spaces
Gary reflects on the emotional energy exchanged during the recordings and highlights a deeply personal moment: his wife Melissa — a natural empath and healer who has traditionally stayed behind the scenes — courageously stepping forward to appear on Without a Candle. Her vulnerability and authenticity serve as a reminder that sharing your spiritual gifts can inspire healing worldwide.
Without a Candle continues to amplify voices within the metaphysical, witchcraft, and pagan communities, helping normalize spiritual exploration across cultures and countries.

In this powerful Guided Meditation episode from Eye Opener Society, we blend focus meditation and guided meditation into a deeply grounding and transformative experience centered on the flame of a candle.
Using the candle flame as a focus point, this meditation guides you into a state of presence, calm, and inner awareness. The flame becomes a symbolic extension of your soul outside of your physical body, allowing you to observe yourself with clarity, compassion, and intention. As the meditation unfolds, the flame also serves as an energetic incinerator, gently burning away stress, anxiety, fear, and all forms of negative energy that no longer serve you.
This session continues with a powerful visualization of the universe being absorbed within you, reminding you that you are never disconnected from wisdom, strength, or higher awareness. No matter what challenges you face in daily life, you carry positive energy, universal knowledge, and inner wisdom within you at all times.
This guided candle meditation is ideal for:
Stress relief and emotional release
Focus and mindfulness practice
Grounding and spiritual connection
Inner healing and energy cleansing
Meditation for clarity, peace, and balance
Find a quiet space, light a candle, get comfortable, and allow this meditation to guide you inward—where calm, strength, and universal wisdom already reside.

Welcome back to Eye Opener Society, where curiosity, consciousness, and real conversation meet. In this powerful solo-hosted episode, the creator of Eye Opener Society is joined by Sunset Child of the Out There Podcast for a deep, open-minded discussion exploring spirituality, consciousness, and emerging narratives shaping today’s collective awareness.
Together, they examine widely discussed alternative healing concepts, including med beds and regenerative technology, and the belief that advanced healing systems may have been hidden or restricted by elite power structures. The conversation expands into extraterrestrial and off-world narratives, touching on claims of moon and Mars bases, underground tunnel systems, and the idea of a broader galactic presence interacting with humanity.
Beyond conspiracy and speculation, this episode grounds itself in inner work and discernment. Sunset Child and the host discuss meditation, frequency, and sovereignty — emphasizing that personal truth, awareness, and higher consciousness are cultivated from within. Topics such as planetary ascension, timeline shifts, fifth-dimensional awareness, and global disclosure are explored through the lens of spiritual responsibility rather than fear-based absorption.
Listeners are encouraged to observe without attachment, strengthen intuition, and reconnect with their higher selves through intentional meditation and inner listening. This episode speaks directly to seekers navigating a world of information overload, inviting grounded awareness over blind belief.
