The Angels Can Heal Us

Spiritual intuitive and author Dr. Alisha Das joins George Noory for a deeply personal conversation about angels, faith, and the unseen forces she believes guide and protect us. Since childhood, Alisha says she has communicated with angels in what she calls the “angelic language” — and she shares the extraordinary experiences that shaped her life’s work, from a warning she credits with saving her from a house fire at eighteen, to her account of recovering from aggressive cancer, to the story of her Pacific Palisades home during the Los Angeles wildfires. George and Alisha explore the difference between guardian angels and archangels, the question of free will, and what she believes separates the angelic realm from the fallen, including Lucifer. Alisha explains the practices she teaches for sensing and connecting with angels — spiritual sensing, surrender, and simply asking a question — and discusses her book, Your Angelic Ancestry. Along the way, George recounts his own unforgettable encounter with a mysterious rescuer, and the two reflect on why nearly seven in ten Americans say they believe in angels. A moving, thought-provoking journey into faith, consciousness, and the possibility that we are never truly alone.

The Magic of Plasma with Dana Kippel

Author and filmmaker Dana Kippel joins George Noory to make an unusual case: that the universe runs on plasma, and that people can consciously tap into it. She tells George the whole idea arrived in a single meditation — an experience she was too embarrassed to talk about for years, convinced she was going crazy — and that she only began writing after her father died.nnDana wrote the book broke and grieving in her mother’s guest room in Florida, and she is candid about the human side of it: the days she feels disconnected, the relapses, the fear of slowing down that she traces back to an unstable childhood. She and George walk through where the science actually touches the metaphysics, including the fact that astronomical plasma was named after blood plasma by physicist Irving Langmuir in 1928, and the work of authors like Robert Temple who argue plasma will reshape how we understand the cosmos.nnGeorge shares his own story of a friend who has passed on, and the two explore how plasma relates to belief, abundance, health, and what Dana calls her higher self. Her message, in her own words: you are never alone.
