But by the time he was 6 years old, Zachary, Zapharia, Ziadora & Co. had grown silent. Not so today. Since 2000, Harris has regularly communed with the “voice of galactic consciousness”—in books such as the Conversations with the Z's series and Energy Speaks, on his podcast Impact the World, and during a monthly Energy Update on YouTube that taps into what’s happening for the world. Spiritual seekers are listening—and healing and awakening. Harris reaches 2 million people each month through a combination of all his platforms plus his online community, The Portal. The multifaceted teacher spoke to contributing editor KAREN BRAILSFORD about his journey and shared tips on how to connect to one’s guides. At the end of their conversation, some very special guests dropped in with a powerful message for Spirituality & Health readers.
