The Art & Science of Wishing with Brownell Landrum
Tue Jan 27 2026
Today I'm joined by Brownell Landrum, author of The Art and Science of Wishing and founder of The Cosmic Wish Experiment. We explore how wishing engages over a dozen different sciences - from neuroscience to quantum physics - and discover the difference between ego goals and cosmic wishes that come FROM the universe, not from our conditioned mind.
About Brownell Landrum:
Brownell Landrum is the author of The Art and Science of Wishing and founder of The Cosmic Wish Experiment, a global grassroots effort to elevate collective conscious energy through a simple, fun, and free process based on solid science.
Her research reveals that wishing is a universal practice woven throughout every culture and faith tradition—one of humanity's most powerful expressions of hope, intention, and survival. As a storyteller, she quotes over 70 scientists, bridging the spiritual and the scientific.
Key Insights from Our Conversation:
Cosmic Wishes vs. Ego Goals
Most goals come from our ego/conditioned self—we think we need X to be happy
Cosmic wishes come TO us when we're not looking—from the quantum field of unlimited possibilities
Access them through curiosity and questions, not forcing: "What is actually aligned for me?"
The Power of Responding to Life
We're here to respond to life - to feel in our body what feels right and wrong. This takes courage because it leads us into the unknown. Most people stay in "false security" instead.
Want vs. Need
Our "wants" come from ego. Our "needs" come from our body, our soul, our inner knowing. Distinguishing between them helps us access what's truly aligned.
The Body IS the Subconscious
Brownell's biggest wisdom: Name your body and communicate with it as a separate identity. Instead of forcing, make it a game: "If we finish by noon, we can have the afternoon off." The body will rally to help you.
Elevating Collective Consciousness
It only takes 5% of humanity to create a ripple effect. If people spend just one minute a day being peaceful, positive, and purposeful, it patterns the brain to do it more.
Favorite Quotes:
💫 "Goals come to me when I'm not looking for them - that's what God wants to live through me"
💫 "Trust yourself over anything - that's God, source, universe speaking through you"
💫 "The body is the subconscious - name your body and communicate with it"

Key Takeaway:
Trust yourself, open to receive, and let the universe guide you toward your highest destiny. It starts with distinguishing between what you want (ego) and what you need (soul)—and having the courage to follow what feels right in your body.
