Soulstreams – Everyday Souls

Interview One

Daniel Aitken
CEO & Publisher, Wisdom Publications

I’ve had the honour of offering Reiki to Daniel—a person who carries an inner strength so rooted yet moves through the world with a lightness that is rare. He is someone I’ve always been able to share expansive conversations with—the kind that stretch the edges of what you thought you knew and gently guide you into deeper reflection.

This series is called Soulstreams - Everyday Souls. Through four thought provoking questions, I invite people who have inspired, mentored, or simply walked alongside me to share from their essence—not their accolades. Their insights ripple outward, gently shifting the way we relate to ourselves and the world.

Daniel’s answers are both grounding and expansive. May they stir something in you, too.

1. Tell us who you are, not by title but by your essence.
Someone curious about this incredible experience we are all sharing

2. What simple shift or practice has had the most positive impact on your life, and how can others embrace it to feel more aligned?
The mediative practice of relaxing into your experience

3. When you feel challenged, how do you realign to keep your energy flowing?
I uplift myself by slowing down, feeling the earth under my feet, taking a deep breath, and then connecting to something meaningful

4. How can others support or connect with your work?
You can listen to the Wisdom Podcast, where I have the privilege of speaking with leading thinkers from the Buddhist world. Each episode explores spiritual ideas in a grounded, relatable way. You can also explore our books and online courses at WisdomExperience.org.

Gratitude is a powerful currency—one that cannot be commodified. May this series inspire you to reflect on the souls who have helped shape your journey. Perhaps it’s time to reach out, say thank you, or simply send a blessing their way.
