Joan Pancoe’s experience as a gifted trance channel, karmic astrologer and spiritual teacher in private practice in New York City since 1976 gives her a unique perspective in reading the soul’s secrets and helping people remember and get on track with why they’re here.

She created Psychic Therapy™ in 1982, an innovative ten-session intensive which utilizes altered states to help release karmic blocks and experience and integrate the soul level of consciousness and beyond.

Joan appeared in 2012 in the A&E/Biography channel documentary series, The UneXplained, demonstrating past-life regression therapy for healing karmic issues.

She is the author of Openings: A Guide to Psychic Living in the Real World and Cosmic Sugar: The Amorous Adventures of a Modern Mystic, under the pen name, Leela Jones.

In addition, Joan is a teacher of Tantric and Taoist energy arts and has had three solo shows of her art in New York City.

The earth plane is one of many schools for soul evolution. Each lifetime is a different class. In-between incarnations, any unresolved karmic baggage weighs our souls down and keeps us from flying high in other dimensions. In other words, we’re bound by the wheel of karma which pulls us back into countless incarnations to learn the lessons which can only be taught from within the human experience.

Imagine the earth plane as pristine and untouched before souls began incarnating here. Through time, each action of every soul has caused an equal reaction which needs to be brought into balance, so we ultimately leave the earth plane as pristine as we originally found it. If we multiply this by an almost infinite number of souls incarnating, one catches a glimpse of the universal karmic law of cause and effect in action. With this concept in mind, cultivating a very long-range perspective about the whole earth game allows us to relax and enjoy the show much more.

The Taoist view of going with the flow is helpful in diffusing the goal-oriented tactics of the ego/mind and allowing events to unfold with equanimity and peace. Buddhist philosophy is also valuable, as it sees all that happens here as an infinite simultaneous arising of form out of formlessness. And, in Vedanta, this reality is Maya, i.e., illusion, and our true eternal nature is in that which is beyond duality‒formless and unchanging: Sat Chit Ananda: Pure Being, Consciousness, Bliss.

Adding to this is my favorite screen through which to witness reality, which is derived from the most ancient tantric teachings of India: All is Leela, i.e., cosmic or divine play. This means that our relative plane of duality‒with all its creations, including us‒is a manifestation through which the creative Source energy of the universe seeks to express and know itself. In other words, we’re in a perpetual game of cosmic hide-and-seek.

So, how do we get off the wheel of karma or, as some of my clients ask, “Why would we even want to?”

This brings us back to how free we are when not incarnate to fly in higher frequency planes of consciousness. And, not only that: The less karmic baggage we carry, the more our souls can shine through more easily while we’re here. Then, our little self, ego/personality becomes a translucent tool that the Soul, aka the Witness, can utilize as needed to function skillfully in the earth plane.

With each successive incarnation in which we choose to evolve rather than devolve, (and yes, we always have a choice), this allows us to have more free will in choosing a higher quality incarnation the next time around.

Yes, that’s right. We get to choose the circumstances of our birth. From the soul perspective, we tend to be very courageous in choosing very challenging conditions and quite difficult lives where there is the most potential for burning karma and growing our souls. The more life pushes against us as a form of spiritual resistance training‒the stronger we grow.

One of the trickier parts of the game is at the time of our births. That’s when a portion of our soul consciousness enters the baby’s body as it’s coming out through the birth canal. There’s a moment when our consciousness becomes locked in for the ride of this incarnation. This is what I call the “Oh, shit, what have I done! moment” when we’re struck with the enormity of the task we’ve taken on. Immediately following this moment, comes the “master erase” when we’re moved into “deep cover.” In other words, we’re on assignment, we’ve just forgotten what it is‒and the game of cosmic hide-and-seek begins again in earnest!

At any given time, the vast majority of the human race is under deep cover. After we die, when we drop our bodies and our soul reviews the incarnation, we just left to see how we did with our original intentions. There’s a lot of metaphorical head-smacking and saying, “Shit, now I’ll have to do it all over again.” Accordingly, our karma continues to wind and the wheel turns. Not surprisingly, since the deep cover rule applies until we become awakened to our true identity and purposes while in an incarnation.

Adding to this, every time we don’t fulfill our mission, not only do we have a “do-over,” but the laws of karma dictate that the next life becomes a little more difficult by giving us a little less to work with, as an added incentive to encourage us to get on with our lessons.

My function (and bliss) in this incarnation is in assisting souls in remembering why they’re here when they’re here. In other words, I’m a catalytic agent for awakening from deep cover. All my offerings to clients are to facilitate this on different levels.

My role is also in cultivating the optimal trans-personal emotional tones in myself and others. These are: enthusiasm for the adventure of awakening to our true nature which is Source, or home in the game, joy in Being and an embracing of Leela, in which all forms are aspects of Divine Being and becoming.

From the soul perspective, we’ve chosen all our circumstances, no matter how challenging‒from our astrology charts to the factors of our birth and childhood‒as perfect vehicles to activate our karma so it can come up to be healed. Now, how empowering is that?

Once we accept responsibility for our life circumstances, there’s much less resistance to making karmic healing and soul growth our first priority. Then, everything becomes grist for the mill, and the alchemical gold of awakening to our true nature becomes our sustenance.

To the degree that we accept responsibility for our conditions, to that degree are we free within them. Beyond this, what else is there to do, but pass it on and enjoy?

I cannot tell all the truth I know. If I did, if I said that all at once, the whole city would throw me out. When something must come out, I let it come. Even though everyone is telling me, “Don’t say it! Don’t do it!” It might be a thousand years before these words can be heard by those who are meant to hear them.
–Shams Tabriz

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
–Robert Frost

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
–Henry David Thoreau

In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today, he’d have a talk show.
–Timothy Leary

You don’t tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds.
–Richard Bach

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
–Khalil Gibran

Knowing constancy, the mind is open.
With an open mind, you will be openhearted.
Being openhearted you will act royally.
Being royal, you will attain the divine.
Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao.
Being at one with the Tao is eternal.
Though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away.
–Lao Tzu

If you are fully present in the moment with the object of your desire, then it’s yours forever. (paraphrased from a talk)
–Ngak’chang Rinpoche

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances. If there is any reaction, both are transformed.
–Carl Jung

A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman’s life and exalts habit into partnership with the soul’s highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.
–George Eliot

The pain later is part of the happiness now. From the movie
–Shadowlands

Pleasure or pain, loss or gain, praise or blame─all the same.

The only difference between you and I, is that I remember my past lives.

–Abraham Maslow

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is unique as his specific opportunity.
–Victor Frankl

The last of human freedoms: The ability to choose one’s attitude in a given set of circumstances.
–Victor Frankl

The forms are many in which the unchanging seeks relief from its formlessness.
–Samuel Beckett

My commitment is to truth not consistency.
–Gandhi

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.
–Gandhi

A human birth is hard to win, humanity and rest in the great spirit is hard to gain, and excellence in the path of wise law [dharma] is hard to win. Hardest of all to win is wisdom.
–Shankara

Wise beings can be peaceful in the midst of chaos, experiencing delight in the changing play of forms.
–Ram Dass

Emptiness is not really empty. Emptiness is full of everything. The “everything”─ just isn’t manifest.
–Ram Dass

We are in the perfect circumstances for our Souls to learn whatever they designed this whole game to learn.
–Ram Dass

What is freedom? It is awareness not trapped in attraction or aversion.
–Ram Dass

As we get closer to the inner gates of freedom, of enlightenment, of liberation, the subtle clingings will be fanned all the more and the opportunities for gratification keep increasing.
–Ram Dass

Each person gets their karmuppance. We get everything we want sooner or later, if not in this incarnation, then another. And often when we finally get it, we don’t want it. As the process of karmic fruition speeds up, our lives get freer and freer from attachment and we create less and less karma.
–Ram Dass

If we come back into form from having merged with God, what the Buddhist call nirvana, we are in the world but not of it. We play the cosmic sport. We fill the forms though there is no one home, it is just more lila, the dance of God.
–Ram Dass

If we can give up attachment to our roles as helpers, then maybe our clients can give up attachment to their roles as patients and we can meet as fellow souls on this incredible journey. We can fulfill the duties of our roles without being trapped by over-identification with them.
–Ram Dass

If you are a therapist, work on yourself, because your “patients” will be as free as you are. Therapy is as high as the therapist is.
–Ram Dass

Someone once asked a great sheikh what Sufism was. “The feeling of joy when sudden disappointment comes.” Don’t grieve for what doesn’t come. Some things that don’t happen keep disasters from happening.
–Rumi

Those that make you return, for whatever reason, to God’s solitude, be grateful to them. Worry about the others, who give you delicious comforts that keep you from prayer, friends are enemies sometimes, and enemies friends.
–Rumi

There is an animal called a porcupine. If you hit it with a stick, it extends its quills and gets bigger. The soul is a porcupine, made strong by stick-beating. So, a prophet’s soul is especially afflicted, because it has to become so powerful.
–Rumi

The body is a device to calculate the astronomy of the spirit. Look through that astrolabe and become oceanic.
–Rumi

Many actions which seem cruel are from a deep friendship. Many Demolitions are actually renovations.
–Rumi

Let body needs dwindle and soul decisions increase. Diminish what you give your physical self. Your spiritual eye will begin to open.
–Rumi

Any love based on physical beauty is not love.
–Rumi

He’s like a pearl on the deep bottom, wondering, inside his shell, Where’s the ocean?
–Rumi

Which is worth more, a crowd of thousands, or your own genuine solitude? Freedom or power over an entire nation?
A little while alone in your room will prove more valuable than anything else that could ever be given you.
–Rumi

I am the slave of the moon
It’s the only thing I’m interested in.
So don’t talk to me about anything other than the moon, the candle, the sweetness of sugar.
–Rumi

Don’t ever speak the word “trouble” out loud.
Talk to me only of treasure.
–Rumi

They say the excitement of love is not part of soul growth. They say all this talk of love is sentimental mysticism. Those are the worst lies.
–Rumi

For the early years of my psychic development, I owe a debt of gratitude to Gene Hardesty, Dagmar, the initial psychic groups, my first therapy clients, Suzanne Mauer, Irene Politis and, above all others, for his continuing love and support, James Rush.

“What I liked about the work I did with Joan in Psychic Therapy was, not only was it the deepest shit I have ever experienced in my life, but also that she did not make me dependent on her to keep coming. Sometimes it was scary as hell as I was experiencing the Oneness of all Souls in a vast ocean of consciousness not only the first time, but every time. At this level, the past-present-future are all happening simultaneously. It was magical and liberating and often I would come out of a session in such an exalted state that I wouldn’t know which way 2nd Avenue was. Joan would just smile and point. She is a very unique spiritual teacher.” November 2017

Empowerment Practices

HORIZONTAL PRACTICES:

These psychic energy practices were initially channeled to Joan for her personal use.  Over the years, she fine-tuned these techniques by teaching them to hundreds of therapy clients.  In the last 20 years, she began offering them to psychically and emotionally sensitive children and adults as the need became greater.

When we’re surrounded by negative and toxic energies, these practices are the first line of psychic self-defense. They protect us by sealing the etheric body horizontally from harmful influences and reversing the flow of energy so that we’re fed vertically from Source.

Developing confidence in our intuition and discriminating mind may take practice, but it’s crucial in determining when it’s healthy to be open to receive energies horizontally, such as when we’re in nature or with heart-centered beings, and when it’s best to psychically seal ourselves.  Most sensitive beings already have this development intact; it just needs to be activated.

In fact, when Joan taught these practices to children who were like “psychic sponges” out in the world and, because of this, almost non-functional in the “normal” sense, they were able to accurately read the energies of anyone around them quite easily on a scale of very nurturing or “yummy,” to very toxic or “yucky” and empower themselves by sealing and reversing the Flow at will. Many of these children, who were home schooled, are now college graduates and out in the world enjoying Life.

When Joan taught these practices to sensitive adults who had a difficult time being out in the world, their response was a lament: “Why didn’t anyone ever teach me this as a child?”  After only one session, they were able to function better, without medication─some for the first time ever. If there were mystery schools for children, these psychic empowerment practices would be taught as “How to function on planet earth 101.”

So, if you’re sick and tired of being drained, assaulted or bombarded by lower frequency vibrations, empowering yourself with this training will dramatically improve your quality and enjoyment of life.

VERTICAL PRACTICES:

We’re on the threshold of the next Great Age in the sign of Aquarius, which will last for over 2000 years. Aligned with this, higher frequency galactic energies are bombarding us more than ever before to kick-start the next stage in the evolution of human consciousness. Joan calls these energies the Quickening.

Some of the side-effects of this intense download of energies include:  overtaxed nervous systems, strained psychic circuitry, disturbed sleep, overactive dream states, unexplainable fatigue and exhaustion, feelings of structural instability, irrational anxiety and brain fog.

In the vertical training you will learn:

Taoist practices to ground our bodies to the Earth to help stabilize and strengthen our nervous and psychic systems to more comfortably acclimate to these energies.

Psychic techniques to calibrate and step-down these energies as they move through our vertical channels so that we can become transducers and transmitters of these transformational frequencies.

These practices will radically improve your ability to function on Planet Earth in the years to come.

For children and adults in NYC or by phone:

For new clients: $330. for the hour

For established clients: $275. for the hour

TESTIMONIALS

“I have so appreciated and benefited from the generosity of Joan’s newsletters over the years. It is the first email I read when it arrives. There are times in my process when I forget who I am and wish another of Joan’s newsletters would hurry up and come through to remind me. The brilliance of the artwork, the wildness of the colors and the profound perceptiveness of Joan’s visions have revived and encouraged further resoluteness on the path repeatedly. Her work is of enduring value.” December 2017
–Janel Beeman, Spiritual Seeker, Age 80

“Since I met Joan in 2008, I consult her on every new business venture. She runs my yearly transits and does synastry charts for any new business or personal partner I may be considering. Her past life regression therapy has helped me immensely to remember to integrate all aspects of my character in my daily journey.” December 2017
–Jay Sikora CEO, theoutageexpert.com

“What I liked about the work I did with Joan in Psychic Therapy was, not only was it the deepest shit I have ever experienced in my life, but also that she did not make me dependent on her to keep coming. Sometimes it was scary as hell as I was experiencing the Oneness of all Souls in a vast ocean of consciousness not only the first time, but every time. At this level, the past-present-future are all happening simultaneously. It was magical and liberating and often I would come out of a session in such an exalted state that I wouldn’t know which way 2nd Avenue was. Joan would just smile and point. She is a very unique spiritual teacher.” November 2017

COSMIC SUGAR: The Amorous Adventures of a Modern Mystic
By Leela Jones (pen name of Joan Pancoe)

Imagine what your romantic life would be like if you remembered your past lives and loves. Leela Jones has that gift. Leela Jones, an in-demand professional psychic and self-professed slowly recovering hedonist, felt split in two between her desire for pleasure and her passion for soul growth. She chose Tantric and Taoist sexual and spiritual practices as her path to wholeness.

Cosmic Sugar takes you on her hilarious ride of excess that leads to the funhouse of wisdom. Through diving deeply into the river of life, Jones realized that the separate banks of Eros and Spirit became one at the ground of her being.

Her ongoing immersion in this flow creates a new archetype of the Divine Feminine which opens the heart into a space of boundless sweetness and joy. Cosmic Sugar blows the mind wide open by viscerally transmitting an expanded state of consciousness that can change your perspective on love relationships forever.

Leela Jones is a spiritual teacher with a very private practice in New York City for over thirty years. She believes that the earth plane is one of many schools for soul growth and each lifetime is a different class. The body is the vehicle, desire the motivating force, experience the curriculum and refinement the lesson.

NEW AND IMPROVED REMASTERED RECORDINGS FOR 2020!

Joan offers these two foundation-level teachings in a customized private session in NYC for $250. Now, these practices are available as a special offering to all:

Please note: The standing chi gung practice is suggested as the optimal preparation before working on the more subtle levels of the sitting meditation.

“Before I’ll even work with many of my clients, I insist they take a standing session with Joan. This MP3 is a watershed moment, because it makes her teaching much more accessible and affordable. I firmly believe that if we all did 20 minutes of standing chi gung daily, strengthening our immune systems and lowering stress hormones, the national healthcare crisis would be virtually non-existent.” Rik Longenecker, Nutritionist

“Joan’s hypnotic voice leads one through these practices to a state of Being that is a direct transmission of clarity, inner stillness and oneness with the Tao that is wonderful to feel.” Jay Sikora, Engineer

Joan Pancoe’s YOUTUBE CHANNEL provides audio versions of current newsletters as well as other channeled info of timely and timeless interest, for those of you who prefer to receive your consciousness-expanding downloads by Joan through listening to her hypnotic voice. Along with each reading, Joan will share a visual slideshow of her art and other images to enhance your listening pleasure.

Joan Pancoe appeared in the A&E/Biography channel documentary series, The UneXplained.

In this show, you’ll get to watch Joan doing past-life regression therapy over the course of ten months with a 380-pound man with a chronic weight problem. He reconnects with his inner warrior and releases his karmic attachment to a larger body-type than what is needed for this life. You will see him dramatically transform himself with sparing and kick-boxing as he frees up his energies to expand and conquer the business world instead of struggling with extra poundage.

Here’s a 22-minute video of Joan’s episode entitled:
“The Weight of His Past.”

*HEALING YOUR BODY KARMA: THE MISSING LINK IN THE WEIGHT-LOSS SOLUTION

We all know the major contributing factors we need to address if we want to maintain optimum health, weight and body-image:

1. Genetics and brain chemistry
2. Childhood and environmental influences
3. Emotional, physical and sexual abuse
4. Food addictions and allergies
5. Unhealthy food choices and lack of exercise
6. Portion control and bowel hygiene
7. Liver and gallbladder cleansing

But what if we’ve been consciously working with all of the above for years and STILL feel challenged in maintaining a healthy weight and self-image?

Then: It’s time to consider that, even though all these factors are essential components in the weight-loss solution, they are, in actuality, simply the tip of the karmic iceberg.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the soul-level perspective that each lifetime is a chapter in the soul’s story and that to understand and make sense of our body challenges in this life─we’ll need to look into the preceding chapters.

Joan will share case studies from over thirty years of past-life regression therapy to explain how:

In past lives, psychic attachment to a larger body type was created for legitimate reasons of physical and emotional safety and security.

These limiting karmic beliefs and fears are then carried into the present life to be healed.

The core issue in allowing for a healthier self-image and weight to manifest is through releasing this karma in the cellular memory of the mental, emotional and psychic bodies.

In closing, Joan will offer psychic mini-readings on this theme. 

IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PREVIEW OF THIS WORKSHOP, please read:

“Why is This Happening to Me?”

And watch my TV video of past-life regression therapy with a 380-pound man to see if his chronic unsolvable weight problem started before his life began.

2. Seal our energy body from toxic or negative energies.
   3. Reverse the flow of energy, so we are always fed by Source.

* 3. HEART/MIND EMPOWERMENT:

We may be powerless over our thoughts and emotions arising, but we DO have power over what we choose to do with them once they arise.

In this workshop, we’ll learn how to empower ourselves mentally and emotionally by working with Tantric, Taoist, Zen and psychic practices.

For clarity, psychic mini-readings on habitual karmic emotional and mental patterns will be offered to those participating.

*4. KARMIC/SOUL LEVEL EMPOWERMENT:

Come learn how to transform EVERYTHING in our lives into lessons for karmic healing and soul growth, especially our deepest bonds.

Tonight, we will learn seven stages to help us release unresolved emotions, such as blame, resentments, and judgments in our relationships with ourselves, others and life itself.

Releasing ourselves from karmic bondage is the foundation of liberation. Forgiveness and gratitude are the master keys. We’re our own karmic judge and jury, and ultimately the parole board as well─we just forgot.

Joan will channel soul-level mini-readings on this theme to facilitate our empowerment. A print-out of the channeled SEVEN STAGES OF KARMIC HEALING is included with this workshop or MP3.

Would you rather fall in love, which is always ephemeral─or rise in love, tapping into the eternal? Come join Joan as she shares her unique perspective on how these ancient practices allow us to merge with the Tao or the Divine directly or through the vehicle of our intimate partnerships.

We’re all born with sexual co-creative energies that need to be expressed and ultimately transmuted through the heart and soul. Sooner or later, we realize that denial or repression of these primal life force energies keeps us from experiencing joy and contentment in our lives and releasing them solely through the sex center or lower chakras is an eventual dead end.

The only way out is through learning how to raise the frequency of these energies . . . and we might as well enjoy the ride!

This introductory workshop is appropriate for anyone wishing to cultivate their receptivity to Divine communion, as well as: couples desiring to move deeper into intimacy, women seeking to own their yin power, and men who support feminine empowerment.

(A reading list is included with this workshop or MP3 recording).

EMPOWERMENT PRACTICES

How to:
1. Develop our intuition to determine the nature of the energies surrounding us.

Are you ready to be proactive and empower yourself to move to the next level of your evolution? We will learn seven stages to help us release unresolved emotions, such as blame, resentments, and judgments in our relationships with ourselves, others and life itself.

Left unresolved, these attachments weigh us down, slow our growth and diminish joy in being. Over time, these negative energies, if left to fester, can form a toxic emotional stew that may somatize into physical dis-eases.

Releasing ourselves from karmic bondage is the foundation of liberation. Forgiveness and gratitude are the master keys. We’re our own karmic judge and jury, and ultimately the parole board as well─we just forgot.

INTRO TO KARMIC ASTROLOGY

We will be working with our natal charts as we learn the basics─karmic assets, challenges, and life direction.

WORKING WITH THE TRANSITS OF THE OUTER PLANETS AS VEHICLES FOR SOUL GROWTH

How much free will we have is partially determined by our level of conscious evolution. We will explore how to empower ourselves by becoming more conscious, allowing life to be our guru and learning how to use circumstances as opportunities for growth.

INTRO TO TAOIST WATER-METHOD MEDITATION

An experiential taste of this ancient spiritual practice that gently dissolves blocks in our physical, emotional, and psychic bodies and allows fresh chi to replenish the being and taking us to that unchanging and peaceful place in each of us.

JOAN PANCOE’S experience as a gifted trance channel, karmic astrologer and spiritual teacher in private practice in New York City since 1976 gives her a unique perspective in reading the soul’s secrets and helping people remember and get on track with why they’re here.

She is the creator of Psychic Therapy™, a ten-session intensive that utilizes altered states to help release karmic blocks and experience and integrate the soul level of consciousness and beyond.

Joan appeared in 2012 in the new A&E/Biography channel documentary series, The UneXplained, demonstrating past-life regression therapy for healing karmic issues.

She is the author of Openings: A Guide to Psychic Living in the Real World and Cosmic Sugar: The Amorous Adventures of a Modern Mystic, under the pen name, Leela Jones.

In addition, Joan is a teacher of Tantric and Taoist energy arts and has had three solo shows of her art in New York City.

BOOKS

Joan’s most popular offerings are her life-changing Soul Readings, Karmic Astrology Readings and Psychic Counseling. When prospective clients can’t decide which service to start with, she asks them: “Do you want to wade into the shallow waters of the Cosmic Ocean of Consciousness or dive into the deepest waters?”

Based on their response, she recommends Karmic Astrology or Psychic Counseling for the cautious ones and Soul Readings for the more fearless (or desperate) seekers. And, since Soul Readings are only offered in NYC, she has created a Combo session available by phone, combining Astrology with a mini-Soul Reading, which has become her most in-demand long-distance reading for her clients around the globe.

Joan encourages clients who are in therapy to share their readings to help them move faster and deeper into their core issues. And, it is usually the case that many of these therapists then come to Joan themselves after hearing an MP3 or reading a transcript of their patients’ sessions.

Any of Joan’s writings, newsletters or artwork may be shared with others as long as her website is credited as the source.

INTERVIEWS

Joan Pancoe: Portrait of a NYC Psychic

Author’s Bio: Adele Ryan McDowell, Ph.D., is a psychologist, teacher, and channel, who likes looking at life with the big viewfinder.

This interview originally appeared in 2009 in: ReligionandSpirituality.com (no longer available)

Are you a curious type? Do you ever wonder how someone becomes an intuitive, and what their life has been like?

Allow me to introduce you to Joan Pancoe, a psychic, trance channel and karmic astrologer in New York City since 1976.

Recently, Joan gifted me a good portion of her afternoon to quiz her about her life, times, and spiritual journey. After walking through her apartment where her original works of art adorn the walls, we settled ourselves amidst the surprising greenery and playful statuary of her secret garden, deep within the heart of NYC’s East Village.

I wanted to start at the beginning. Did Joan grow up in a home where the paranormal was the norm? Like many intuitive types, did she regularly commune with the other realms as a dreamy, spaced-out kid? Did she blurt out psychic hits to the neighbors?

The short answer is no, to all of the above. Joan’s trajectory and development are anything but the norm.

Born in Chicago in 1953, Joan was a chronically crying, hyper, red-faced, didn’t-sleep-didn’t-eat kind of infant. Joan, now, attributes those early years as reflective of a personal law (learned through rebirthing sessions) that stated, “I don’t want to be here; it’s not safe.”

As a child, Joan was unusually tiny; she describes herself as “cute, but monkey-like” and adds “there was arrested development.” She was unable to talk until speech therapy intervened at age 4 or 5. She was unable to read as well, until her desire kicked in at age 7, and she picked up the TV Guide and read her first words, “The Danny Thomas Show.”

This was a critical moment in her life: her first shift in consciousness. Joan remembers, “Reading tests within months went from 0 to 12th grade. There was acceleration. At the age of 7, there was some sort of release, and I came mentally online. I was off-line; here, but not here. That’s my story: sequential cycles of not here and, then, more here. It is the process of coming into this incarnation. Recently, over the last few years, I have come in for a landing and been more embodied.”

A relentless student in honors and A.P. classes; the teachers’ chosen artist with an aptitude to draw exact replicas; popular, even with glasses and braces; and a cheerleader until side-lined with an injury, Joan stormed through high school.

The combination of the cheerleading injury, the Zeitgeist of the 60s, and hormones brought another great shift. Joan went from “good girl to not so good girl.”

Almost overnight, Joan became a hippie chick, atheist and pothead. She smoked pot from the time she got up in the morning, between classes and all through the evening. She let her hair grow half way down her back; wore rose-colored glasses and T-shirts emblazoned with “LOVE”; became “hyper sexually precocious” aided and abetted by a gifted vibrator; and vowed her only desire in life was to be a hedonist.

Hedonism and pot notwithstanding, Joan graduated salutatorian of her high school class.

In 1971, Joan headed off to Barnard College in New York City. On February 19, 1972, in a West End bar, she met James Rush, the single greatest influence of her life and the person who gave Joan her psychic wings.

When Joan was 19 years old, her world exploded when Jim offered her a tab of windowpane acid. The ensuing trip resulted in Joan’s third eye seal breaking wide open. She was unlocked psychically. Joan says, “I experienced my eternal nature and everyone else’s, and I never fully came back from that trip.”

Joan’s early adult years were like a thousand bottle rockets being launched at once. Joan dropped out of college and had a wild and wooly relationship with Jim. She went to art school in Europe, partied heavily, endured migraines and fed her sexual appetites. She returned to the US and, ultimately, stopped running and surrendered. She accepted her psychic abilities, stopped having migraines, and entered a 12-step program. Once she became sober, peace of mind became her priority in life.

The juicy details of her wild ride are detailed in Joan’s second book, Cosmic Sugar: The Amorous Adventures of a Modern Mystic, which is published under the pen name Leela Jones, and explores how Leela looks to reconcile “her desire for pleasure and her passion for soul growth.”

In the early to mid-80s, Joan was energetically rewired for the first time─-an experience she details in her book, Openings. Joan reports that it felt like she was undergoing brain surgery for a couple of days as she was fitted with an energetic funnel cap in her 6th chakra. The funnel became her transmitter and, as a result, she no longer needed to travel out to various planes of consciousness; now, the readings came into her.

Concomitantly, Joan, also, realized that she needed to find substantial ways to better ground and root herself. Psychics can burn out because they run a great deal of current through their systems. Joan was feeling the reality of this. There was too much energy coursing through her present-day wiring. There was no grounding wire, and she was not insulated enough. Joan was seeing acupuncturists and healers on a regular basis, but knew she had to find a more lasting solution to prevent a major meltdown.

Philosophically, Joan has been a Taoist since her late 20s/early 30s and opted to pursue that direction. She sought out teachers and practices to help her deal with her energy overload and discovered tai chi and chi gung. For 13 years, Joan apprenticed herself, sequentially, to two different masters of two different lineages.

When Joan looked down at her small, tight, size 5.5 feet, she knew, without a doubt, that her feet had been bound in past lifetimes. She, also, knew she needed to open up her feet to be able to ground her energies more effectively. Pancoe chose tui na massage work, a kind of chi gung which, in this case, was a painful process. The result was a leap to shoe size 8W, and an ability to ground her energies more deeply.

For over 20 years, Joan has maintained her daily chi gung practice. A natural outcome of her years of practice is that Pancoe now offers Taoist and Tantric practices and meditation to her clients.

Joan credits her Taoist pursuits and daily practice with the ability to physically withstand energetic rewiring upgrades from the cosmos. Joan has concluded that she is rewired on a 12-year cycle; the astrologer in her notes that is, also, a Jupiter cycle.

Her last major rewiring came during an all-night, new moon ceremony at a qigong camp in northern California. Everyone was chanting. Joan went to the causal plane, then, the galactic and, then, the void. Joan shares, “The Taoist system has infinite levels of the void; form arising out of formlessness at every moment simultaneously.”

To Joan, the energetics of the rewiring were akin to gigantic yellow snakes invading her body and entering through her crown chakra. Understandably, she was freaked out with this enormous push of energy. These energy “snakes” travelled down her central channel. Joan felt “stretched open on all levels simultaneously,” and, then, the energy “snakes” popped out through her feet. Joan was excited when she realized she had received major insulation (think yellow casing on electrical wires) and had been, once again, rewired.

Initially, Joan channeled her information from the Akashic Records. Now, as a result of her latest rewiring, Joan channels from the Galactic Forces, and they exacted a conscious commitment from Joan. The commitment required was that Joan’s primary relationship had to be with them. (When Joan asked for clarity, the Galactic Forces allowed this did not preclude Joan from having “consorts,” mates, or intimate relationships.) In return for her commitment, the Galactic Forces said they would take care of Joan. She willingly agreed.

As a result of the rewiring, Joan was having more fun with her life. One book had come out; another was being written. She was “doing her daily practice, aligned, making the most of this incarnation, moving at high speed, open, and the emotional tone of her being was changed.”

Joan’s primary tone became one of joy in being─being in this moment, in this body, in this lifetime, in these experiences. Her primary message is “Enjoy the ride.”

But like all of us, Joan has learned through experience: “When I was going through my divorce at age 33, I realized my worst fears of being open, vulnerable, and hurt. There was huge pain that I had been avoiding. Literally, he tried to kill me. I was sitting in my home group [of a 12-Step meeting] and realized that even though I was hurt, I never felt more alive.”

These days, when it comes to pain and suffering, Joan does not indulge or feed her demons. She is able to let those feelings move through her, and she knows her core is stable. Throughout the years, Joan has been a student of higher consciousness and studied with a wide range of teachers.

In 2005, Joan went on a pilgrimage to India with her spiritual teacher, a Naada master. There was much chanting, meditation and visitation of temples. Simultaneously, Joan was awakened to hundreds of past lifetimes in India, many of which found Joan homeless, destitute, and despairing. Joan concluded, “All of these lifetimes had been sealed until I got there. There is joy, now, because I know I really paid my dues.”

Joan’s says her spirituality is what gives meaning and value to everything in her life. It is her bliss.

I asked Joan to share three pearls of wisdom for those on the path. This is what she had to say:

1. Validate your inner journey as much as your external accomplishments because society won’t do that for you.

2. The thing you fear and resist the most is the direction that you need to go in because it’s probably why you are here [from a karmic standpoint].

3. If you don’t cultivate a tone of joy in being or at least have equanimity about your journey, you are probably going to have a karmic do-over.

Remember the aforementioned James Rush, who offered the LSD that cracked open Joan’s psychic seal? When Jim was alive, he would continually taunt and ridicule Joan about her sobriety. Once he passed over, Jim apologized; he allowed that he now understood: Joan was a clear channel because she had no alcohol or smoke in her system. And her greatest gift was not the clarity of her channel, but “her tone of enthusiasm for the adventure.”

Joan and Jim’s relationship, a huge soul contract for them both, continued and deepened throughout the years. Even after Jim’s death, 12 years ago, they remain in contact. Jim comes through with messages, and he has guided Joan on a number of big, multidimensional trips and continues to help her expand her consciousness.

Today, Joan’s expanded concept of herself and what she feels she is becoming is that of a “galactic dakini.” Wikipedia describes a dakini as a tantric deity; the term is translated as “a female embodiment of enlightened energy,” “she who moves in space,” and “sky dancer.” The Galactic Forces would concur: this is where Joan Pancoe is going.

The UneXplained: How a NYC Psychic Ended Up Doing Past Life Regression Therapy on Television

Author’s Bio: Adele Ryan McDowell, Ph.D., is a psychologist, teacher, and channel, who likes looking at life with the big viewfinder.

This interview originally appeared in 2012 in: ReligionandSpirituality.com (no longer available)

Joan Pancoe is appearing in the new A&E/Biography channel documentary series, The UneXplained. Her episode “The Weight of My Past,” premiered on Saturday, September 15th, 2012.

In this show, you’ll get to watch Joan doing past-life regression therapy over the course of ten months with a 380-pound man with a chronic weight problem. He reconnects with his inner warrior and releases his karmic attachment to a larger body-type than what is needed for this life. You will see him dramatically transform himself with sparing and kick-boxing as he frees up his energies to expand and conquer the business world instead of struggling with extra poundage.

Joan Pancoe’s experience as a trance channel, karmic astrologer and spiritual teacher in private practice in New York City since 1976 gives her a unique perspective in reading the soul’s secrets and helping people remember and get on track with why they’re here. She is the creator of psychic therapy, a ten-session intensive that utilizes altered states to help release karmic blocks and experiences and integrate the soul level of consciousness and beyond. Joan is the author of Openings: A Guide to Psychic Living in the Real World and Cosmic Sugar: The Amorous Adventures of a Modern Mystic, under the pen name, Leela Jones.

In a follow-up to our July, 2009 interview, I caught up with Joan as she prepares to debut on television.

Adele: How did an East Village Psychic end up on the Biography channel?

Joan: I hung up on them when they initially called me in July 2011. I thought I said, “No, thank you” and hung up. But the producer, Johanna Baldwin, informed me later, with much laughter that I just hung up on her! (I guess my reflexes were a bit off─and had mumbled, “No, thank you,” after I’d walked away from the phone.)

But then, after two clients volunteered to be regressed on camera and encouraged me to call the producers back, we had a sit down to discuss filming past-life regression for their documentary series. The vibration felt right and in the Flow─and, most importantly, aligned with my soul assignment of coming out of my psychic shell. So, I green-lighted myself!

I’d never envisioned that I would need to appear on TV as part of my journey of karmic healing and soul growth. It has been and I’m sure will continue to be terrifying and exhilarating simultaneously. There’s nothing like confronting your absolute worst karmic fears of all time to make you feel more alive and in the Flow than ever before.

The only reason I was even able to do the show was by using my own past-life regression techniques to deal with these fears. The PLRT sessions allowed me to understand that the terror I felt about going public with my psychic power was quite legitimate when viewed from a soul-level karmic perspective. The awareness of where the fear came from allowed me to feel the fear and take the action to move through it simultaneously. My daily mantra to help with this is: “That was then───and this is now!”

Adele: What do you want your viewers to come away with and what would be their take-away from watching your episode?

Joan: After a year of filming hundreds of hours that have been edited down to 22 minutes for a half-hour show, I have absolutely no idea what the final result will look like and have had to sign away any control of how my work is going to be presented. However, the executive producers, Russ Stratton and Doug Liman (The Bourne Trilogy and Mr. and Mrs. Smith) maintained complete integrity and respect of my therapy process throughout the shooting, and from the episodes I’ve seen that have aired to date, I’ve been very impressed with the production quality and editing to get the main story across in an impactful way.

I can only hold the faith that those who are meant to find me through the medium (haha) of TV will have an easier time of it once this show airs. As, before I had a website, you had to know someone who had been to see me and use their name as a referral─otherwise I tended to not be so available. I jokingly called my psychic work a very private practice.

But, joking aside, what I hope for most is that people who watch my─especially those who are feeling stuck and powerless over some inner or outer condition in their lives and have done everything they could to deal with it─experience at least a glimmer of hope of turning their situations around.

I am continually amazed by the shift I see in clients once they have been through past life regression therapy, a soul reading or psychic consult. They get this lightning-bolt moment of awakening as they remember other chapters in their soul’s story that legitimately explain why they have the stuck condition─which I call a karmic rut─and what they need to do to heal it.

Knowing that there is a justifiable reason for their condition from past lives─and that it is not from anything specifically they’ve done in this incarnation to cause it─creates a major shift that turns around their whole relationship with themselves and with life to one that is much more empowering.

From a soul perspective, all circumstances from one’s birth on are just the tip of the karmic iceberg. The way it works is that it’s usually only after a karmic condition has been activated, played out and bottomed out on that there is a willingness to seek understanding from a higher perspective of what soul qualities are needed to be developed to get the lessons inherent in the karmic challenges. Only then can there be a conscious free will choice to release karmic attachments for identity to specific conditions or body karma.

The great thing is how well PLRT works on all types of stuck situations or circumstances─from body karma to krazy-glue karmic bondages. I’ve seen incredibly dramatic results in the before and after places clients get to within themselves. Not only is it very empowering to gain the karmic perspective, it’s also a very forgiving process that releases any residual anger at self or Life for what has seemed unfair or insurmountable.

My final hope is that once viewers get the pertinent past life information for themselves and have that “AH HA!” moment─either from someone like me who can act as a middleman between them and their Higher Selves or through their own inner journey of discovery─they can consciously own and integrate this higher perspective and move to the next level of their karmic healing and soul evolution.

Adele: Thanks, Joan. This is very exciting. You know I am a huge fan of soul work and this takes healing to a whole new and much needed dimension. Just think of the applications and possibilities!
