<p>Happy New Year, podpals!</p><br><p>We’re stepping into 2026 by asking a deceptively simple question: Is mysticism actually good for you?</p><p>In this episode of <em>The Telebabad Tapes</em>, we sit down with energy practitioner and martial artist David Montecillo to talk about the bright promises and darker corners of modern woo. We unpack how narcissism sneaks into spiritual spaces, why “healing” can sometimes become a performance, and how indigenous practices have found new life among Gen Z seekers.</p><p>Expect grounded insights, skeptical laughter, and plenty of thoughtful sidebars as we navigate belief, ego, and the human need for meaning.</p><p>Get comfortable, grab your favorite crystals, sip on your cacao, and tune in, dear listeners.</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
