In this heart-centered episode, CJMiller sits down with singer-songwriter Eugene Kurolap, whose most recent release, “Nothing is Free,” reveals a cinematic evolution in his music. Eugene shares how songwriting isn’t something he forces—it arrives through antennae mode, a deep listening to the universe. The first half of a song, he says, is pure intuition. The second half? That’s when the mind steps in to shape it.

From early choir days to strumming a guitar passed down by his father, Eugene discovered that music was always his Creative DNA. Today, he travels in an old laundry truck, playing wherever the road calls, intent on helping people slow down, breathe, and be present through sound.

CJ and Eugene explore:

• What inspires a song
• The power of presence in performance
• Balancing words and sound in the creative process
• The influence of artists like Trevor Hall
• His listener-led “Genie Club” music experience

In this episode, CJ Miller explores a deeply personal question: How do we respond to negativity without losing our center? After sharing a joyful video filled with light and love, CJ received a few unexpected negative comments. Rather than reacting, he chose to reflect—and here, he invites you into that process.

He discusses the spiritual cost of people-pleasing, the importance of creating from a space of love, and how to hold your focus when others try to pull you off balance. You’ll hear about the power of sacred space, the role of community, and why we must ask, What is mine to do?

This episode is a reminder: you can’t control how others receive your gift—but you can choose how you give it. Stay in your joy, focus on what lifts your energy, and keep creating with love.

In this episode, CJ welcomes artist, musician, and spiritual creator Ariel Basso, whose entire life is devoted to following the breadcrumbs of Spirit. Ariel lives nomadically, led by inner guidance and a mission to create sacred, healing spaces through art, sound, and vibration. From painting symbolic language to playing ancient wind instruments like the didgeridoo, Ariel’s work becomes a living dialogue with the Divine.

He shares his transformative journey from grief and depression to a powerful spiritual awakening in his teens, which launched a “spiritual boot camp” of meditation, prayer, stretching, and journaling. That period gave birth to his lifelong vow: to create only what celebrates unity and Spirit.

Ariel discusses his show at Northwood Art & Music House, his philosophy of vibrational sound therapy, and how circles in ancient mysticism have shaped his meditative art practice. He and CJ explore themes of joy, creative flow, and listening to Creative Intelligence in the moment—whether painting, performing, or simply breathing.

Whether you're an artist, a seeker, or someone longing to reconnect with sacred expression, this conversation is an invitation to listen deeply, create bravely, and walk your own path guided by Spirit.

In this soul-stirring episode, CJMiller dives deep into the heart of originality in the creative process. Sparked by a listener’s comment that struck a nerve, “Little CJ” makes an honest appearance—offended, vulnerable, and ready to set the record straight.

CJ shares why he refuses to teach style mimicry—and how his method is rooted in helping artists discover their unique mark. Through music, mindfulness, somatic movement, spiritual asemic practices, and even back-and-forth dueling exercises, he guides students into the sacred space where true originality lives.

He also opens up about a painful past experience with a teacher who insisted that everyone paint like him—and how that moment shaped CJ’s commitment to honoring creative individuality.

This episode is a rallying cry for trusting your inner voice, not the loudest voice in the room. Whether you're an artist, seeker, or spiritual traveler, it’s a powerful reminder:

You don’t have to copy anyone to be great.
You already are.

In this inspiring episode, CJ Miller shares a deeply personal story about waiting for a sign from Spirit—and the pivotal lesson he learned about the power of setting an intention. Guided by Dr. Petra’s wisdom, CJ realized that Spirit knows our gifts, but as co-creators, we must choose and ask.

Reflecting on Matthew 7:7-8 — "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" — CJ explores how intention activates the creative process. He encourages listeners to claim their desires with clarity and participate fully in co-creation.

Through mindful creative practices and the art of self-discovery, CJ reveals how we are all spiritually connected—and reminds us that there are as many possibilities as stars in the sky. The episode closes with a simple yet powerful visualization to help you set your own sacred intention today.

In this soulful episode, CJ Miller speaks with contemporary artist Victoria Tara, whose captivating paintings emerge from meditation, healing, and devotion. Raised by the Sea of Azov in southeastern Ukraine and now rooted in Miami, Victoria blends Eastern and Western traditions to create visual meditations—paintings that act as portals to inner peace.

She shares the moment her artistic path became clear while participating in Kumbh Mela, the world’s largest spiritual gathering at the sacred river Sangam, where dualities dissolve and Oneness is remembered. In the river, she received a vision and a word: Yantra—the ancient Hindu symbol of divine geometry. Today, she leads workshops where participants paint yantras as intentional meditations.

Victoria and CJ explore the role of stillness, the symbolic power of the lotus flower, and what it means to paint from a place beyond thought. Her work invites us into the space between the sounds, where the essence of light—beyond any name—reveals itself.

Art becomes the practice. The painting becomes the prayer.

Belief systems can get in the way of recognizing that we are love, and that Creative Intelligence operates through us naturally—if we let it.

In this episode, host CJMiller explores how limiting beliefs block our creativity and spiritual flow. He shares personal stories, including a conversation with a friend who reminded him of the simple but powerful practice: Release and Replace. If you believe “I’m not worthy” or “I’m not an artist”, Spirit—Creative Intelligence—can only reach you as far as you allow.

Even that lunch conversation, CJ notes, was an example of Creative Intelligence speaking through another.

CJ also reflects on his upbringing in a critical family, learning to recognize old habits of focusing on what’s wrong and choosing instead to replace that focus with gratitude—a practice that serves both in life and in the art studio. The message? Notice what’s working.

This isn’t just about painting. It’s about how you move through life, how you speak to yourself, and how you believe in your own creative power.

If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m not an artist”, this episode invites you to release that belief—and replace it with something like:
“I am a creator. I get better and better every day.”

CJ also shares details about his upcoming Spiritual Artist Retreat, where participants will walk a labyrinth to practice releasing a limiting belief and making space for something new to emerge. For more on labyrinth walks, check out this video: Watch here.

In this episode, I share a real-life moment of being emotionally triggered after a phone call from my mother—and how that experience became the perfect opportunity to walk through the Receptivity Chart, a visual model I use in my coaching and retreats. Rather than getting stuck in reaction, I used this moment to check in with myself: Where am I on the chart? What’s blocking my ability to receive guidance from Creative Intelligence?

Our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and old pain patterns—what Eckhart Tolle would call the “pain body”—can cloud our inner channel and disconnect us from flow. When I find myself blocked, I pause. I surrender to what’s happening, speak about myself in the third person to get perspective, write it out, and ask: Do I still believe this? Is this mine, or something I inherited? These practices gently clear the static and return me to presence.

If you’d like to follow along visually, you can download a copy of the Receptivity Chart under the Practice Guides tab at spiritualartisttoday.com. It’s a powerful reminder that while we can’t always control being triggered, we can choose how we return to alignment.

At the end of this episode, CJ does a short guided meditation to ease you through a triggering experience.
