The Telepathy Tapes: Talk Tracks Ep 4 — Awakening the Mind-Body Connection

Host: Ky Dickens
Guest: Suzy Miller (Visionary educator and founder of Awesomism Practitioner Process)
Date: March 2, 2025

Episode Overview

In this episode, Ky Dickens sits down with Suzy Miller to explore extraordinary mind-body connections, especially among non-speakers with autism. They challenge conventional assumptions about communication—embracing the reality that telepathy and subtle forms of connection are not science fiction, but lived experiences for many. Suzy draws from decades of working with neurodivergent clients, sharing techniques, revelations, and deeply compassionate advice for parents, educators, and anyone seeking profound interconnection beyond words.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Suzy Miller’s Origin Story and First Encounter (02:36-04:28)

• Background: Suzy recounts her early days as a pediatric speech-language pathologist when autism was rarely diagnosed.
• Pivotal Moment: Her encounter with a four-year-old boy, Riley, who used the word "master" upon meeting her and exhibited an extraordinary detachment between his physical and "light" body.
• Light Body Experience: Suzy describes a vivid vision of Riley’s light body floating above his physical form, feeling guided to help "put [his] light body back into [his] physical body."
  • Quote: “I saw his, what I now know was his light body, floating above his physical body. And they were completely detached except for a little tail that was hanging off of his foot and dipped down into his heart.” — Suzy, (03:36)
• After a year of this unique process, Riley became fully verbal.

Regulating Parent & Child as a Foundation (06:14-09:49)

• Subtle World Awareness: Non-speakers with autism are often far more attuned to the "subtle realms"—emotional, energetic frequencies—than to the physical world.
  • Non-speaking children “are more tuned into the subtle world than they are into the physical world.” — Suzy, (06:18)
• Emotional Body Field Connection: The child's ability to regulate hinges on the adult’s emotional state.
  • Advice: Parents (or teachers) must first regulate their own nervous systems—through breathwork, inner child work, or self-compassion—because the child instantly picks up on their emotional state and responds in kind.
  • Quote: “The children who are tuned into every single vibration that’s going on with that parent notice that regulation and guess what happens? They start regulating in their bodies as well.” — Suzy, (07:50)
• Behavior as Communication: Interpreting so-called ‘problem behaviors’ as meaningful information—including clues about the parent or teacher’s own emotional states.

Tools for Integration: Tuning Forks, Color, Environment (10:44-13:09)

• Tuning Forks & Vibrational Games: Suzy shares how Riley, and later other children, requested tuning forks to harmonize their ‘soul’ and ‘body’ vibrations, leading to improved integration.
  • Quote: “My soul has one vibration and my human experience has another… any way in which we can merge those vibrations, that’s great.” — Suzy, (11:25)
  • Children often guide practitioners to the sounds or tones that best support them if given the opportunity.
• Personalized Approaches: Emphasizes that asking the child—telepathically or via spelling—what they need yields the most success.

Every Child Has Potential: Overcoming Doubt (13:44-15:54)

• Universal Capacity: Suzy asserts her belief that every non-speaking/autistic individual can learn to spell and communicate, provided the environment supports presence and regulation.
• Transformative Belief: The importance of truly believing in the child’s or student’s capabilities.
  • Quote: “Absolutely. Again, these kids read minds. It really is helpful just to believe in the capacity...[even] just a few moments a day kind of go, well, I wonder what else is possible. That starts to loosen up the energy...” — Suzy, (15:27)
• Practical Exercise: Teachers and parents should reflect on the words they use about their children, flip negative expectations to positive aspirations, and read them daily to shift the energetic dynamic.

The Role of Parental Self-Care & Authenticity (20:20-26:46)

• Parental Well-being: Professionals rarely ask parents how they feel; Suzy stresses the necessity for parents to take conscious breaks and practice self-compassion, as this ripples to the child.
  • “If that stress is what’s being broadcast from the parent, then the child is going to be a little bit more dysregulated.” — Suzy, (21:17)
• Communication Setbacks as Normal: Periods of ‘cold communication’ (withdrawal or regression) are natural, often part of integration, and should not be feared.
• Owning Emotions: Authentic communication is essential—children on the spectrum perceive internal states deeply; mismatching words and feelings causes confusion.
  • “For a neurotypical kid… it might work… but doesn’t work at all for somebody diagnosed on the spectrum because they’re so privy to our inner worlds.” — Suzy, (25:15)
  • Parents are encouraged to model emotional ownership without blame.

Cultivating Telepathy and Subtle Connection (28:02-34:20)

• Telepathy as Birthright: All humans have telepathic ability, especially with close family, but stress and lack of self-listening block access.
  • “Telepathy is something that is very easy...but again, if we’re stressed, if we’re overwhelmed...how are we going to pay attention to some of those more subtle experiences?” — Suzy, (28:23)
• Opening the Channel: Simply voicing openness ("I’d really like to enter your world…") often initiates subtle or even surprising forms of communication.
  • Quote: “The minute the child knows that you’re open and receptive, I promise you, they’re going to find ways to make that connection happen.” — Suzy, (29:13)
• Feedback Loops: Sharing observations out loud and inviting clarity with curiosity invites reciprocity, even if the child cannot respond verbally.

Teachers vs. Parents: The Difference in Mindset (33:31-35:24)

• Parental Intensity: Teachers often have an easier time establishing telepathic rapport because they have less emotional investment and fewer expectations/fears.
  • “The benefit of having a little bit of distance and being able to look in with a loving and compassionate heart...is to kind of be able to stand back.” — Suzy, (34:34)
• Parents' own anxieties, guilt, or hopes can inadvertently block this deeper connection.

Suzy’s Book “Awesomeism” and Final Thoughts (35:24–38:27)

• About the Book: “Awesomeism” explores the hidden capacities of autistic people, seeking to normalize unusual behaviors as adaptive and meaningful rather than ‘odd.’ The book underscores that these children support human evolution through their unique gifts.
  • “They have capacities that we haven’t yet grown into. They have a level of heart and compassion and patience that I don’t think most of us could even really fathom.” — Suzy, (36:22)
• Collective Learning: Suzy highlights the importance of continual openness, curiosity, and humbleness in learning from these children.
  • “These kids are always going to evolve us… the information they hold as a collective is so much bigger than any one of us.” — Suzy, (37:27)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “Behavior is the highest form of communication, right? … If your child is frustrated, overwhelmed, crying… just gently, compassionately asking ourselves that question: ‘Where might I be that frustrated?’” — Suzy Miller (08:10)
• “We don’t really care how our parents feel. We care that they know how they feel.” — Suzy Miller, relaying wisdom from non-speaking children (08:37)
• “Telepathy is a baseline form of communication for all people.” — Ky Dickens (01:53)
• “If we can stay out of the fear that they’re regressing, then usually they’ll move through that fairly quickly.” — Suzy Miller on ebbs in communication (24:51)
• “As we do that, we can really begin to learn from the kids. Just stay open and stay curious. Ask questions. You’ll be amazed at the ride these kids can take you.” — Suzy Miller (37:41)
