Michael D'alton was a mechanical engineering student fighting asthma and eczema that steroids couldn't touch. After a two-year wait to see a specialist ended with "you have eczema" and nothing else, he stumbled into a bioenergy healing session — and by day three, his symptoms were gone.That was 33 years ago. He's spent the decades since training thousands of people in the practice, building an international healing school, and appearing on Oprah's network, BBC, and outlets across Ireland and the UK.Oto and Michael go deep on the difference between Reiki and bioenergy work, the biofield and how frequency shapes the body, why identity is the real obstacle standing between people and their health, and what happened when COVID shut down the 27-year-old school that had become his whole sense of self. It closes with Michael's answer to Oto's signature question: two minutes, a million people, one thing to say before you drop the mic.DISCLAIMER: NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.

Michael's read is that people don't stay sick because of the illness itself — they stay sick because being sick has become who they are, and changing that requires a different sense of self, not just a different treatment.The COVID years form the hinge of his own story. He talks candidly about the identity crisis that hit when his 27-year-old healing school shut down overnight, and what it took to find out who he was without the stage.CONNECT WITH OTO:Instagram – https://instagram.com/otogomes Website – https://otogomes.live GUEST LINKSWebsite — https://www.daltonsbio.com Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/michaeldaltonbioenergy/
What if science is finally catching up to the supernatural?In part 2 of our episode with Dr. Helané Wahbeh (Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and author of The Science of Channeling) she takes us inside the cutting edge of consciousness research, revealing what science is uncovering about channeling, psychic abilities, energy healing, telepathy, and the non-material aspects of reality.As one of the world's leading researchers studying psi phenomena, Dr. Wahbeh explores where the evidence stands, why mainstream science is beginning to take these topics more seriously, and what it could mean for our understanding of consciousness itself.Dr. Wahbeh breaks down:- How scientists actually study channeling and just how common channeling really is- Why respected scientific institutions are now researching channeling, telepathy, psychic phenomena, and consciousness, and what this says about the shift beyond a purely materialist worldview- Can channeling be used to contact extraterrestrials? What evidence would actually be required to prove it scientifically- Fascinating common themes reported by people who claim to channel extraterrestrial intelligences- Groundbreaking telepathy research showing surprising results between emotionally bonded pairs, and what it may reveal about nonlocal consciousness- Why our current definition of scientific proof may be too narrow when investigating paranormal and supernatural experiences- Latest research into energy medicine and Reiki, including studies suggesting measurable physical changes that may help explain how energetic healing works- Do spirit guides play a role in energy healing?- What's really happening during exorcisms, spirit attachments, and the clearing of negative entities?- Can energy work help heal or even reverse intergenerational trauma?- How Dr. Wahbeh's own openness to psi phenomena has transformed her daily life, worldview, and even the way she parents- Could the world's religions eventually expand to include scientifically studied psychic and extrasensory abilities?- What a future science of consciousness might look like, and whether we're moving toward a comprehensive explanation of the non-material worldThis conversation explores one of the biggest questions humanity has ever asked: Can science investigate experiences once dismissed as supernatural?Whether you're fascinated by channeling, telepathy, consciousness research, psychic phenomena, extraterrestrials, energy healing, spirituality, or the future of science itself, this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown offers a rare look at where rigorous research and extraordinary human experience intersect.If you've ever wondered whether consciousness extends beyond the brain, or whether science is on the verge of redefining reality, you won't want to miss this conversation!Go to https://alyahealth.com/ and use code BREAKER for 20% off your first order.Go to https://helixsleep.com/breakdown to receive up to 30% off your Helix mattress.Visit https://drinkag1.com/BREAKDOWN and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order.Learn more about IONS: https://noetic.org/breakdown/IONS free live webinars: https://noetic.org/experience/connections-live/IONS peer-reviewed papers: https://noetic.org/science/publications/Participate in IONS research: https://noetic.org/science/participate-research/IONS Research Prize on UAPs: https://noetic.org/prize/Dr. Helané Wahbeh's book, The Science of Channeling: https://noetic.org/explore/science-of-channeling/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this inspiring episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, international bestselling author and screenwriter Michaelbrent Collings shares a deeply personal story of resilience, reminding us that obstacles don't have to define our future.Michael recounts the unexpected twists in his own journey — from leaving a successful legal career to care for his wife during a serious illness, to rebuilding his life as a writer after losing his job during an economic downturn. Along the way, he also faced profound personal challenges, including major depression, suicidal thoughts, psychotic episodes, and even waking one morning unable to move from the neck down. Despite these hardships, he continued creating, writing, and finding purpose.Rather than offering shortcuts to success, Michael shares three practical principles that have helped him continue moving forward. First, he encourages us to focus not on being the most successful person in the room, but on being the kindest and most professional. Kindness builds relationships, creates opportunities, and leaves a lasting impact far beyond any achievement.His second lesson is to embrace curiosity. Michael believes one of life's greatest strengths is the willingness to admit, "I don't know," and then ask questions with genuine interest. By remaining open to learning, we continue to grow, adapt, and discover possibilities we might otherwise miss.Finally, he reminds us of the importance of surrounding ourselves with supportive people—and becoming that source of encouragement for others. In difficult seasons, a caring community can make all the difference, offering strength, perspective, and hope when we need it most.Michael closes with an uplifting reminder: you've already overcome more than you may realize, and with perseverance, kindness, curiosity, and support, you are capable of going even farther.About Today's GuestMichaelbrent Collings is an international bestselling author, award-winning screenwriter, and speaker known for his suspense novels, screenplays, and inspiring message of perseverance.

When Ben was in treatment, he had a signature move. He would flip on some music, put on his headphones, and check out. Not in a sad way. In the way of a boy who had discovered, long before anyone taught him the term music therapy, that sound could carry him somewhere the chemo could not reach. He was five years old when he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. He was eight when he died. And in between, he wore a Michael Jackson curly wig and a sparkly glove to the grocery store, demanded Olive Garden in Times Square after immunotherapy, and once stood up on a procedure table before a bone marrow biopsy and told his doctor, show me all your supplies first. He was never defined by his illness. He was just doing cancer, as his mother Wendy puts it. Because that was what was there. The rest of the time, he was dancing through the city. When the news ran their memorial piece after Ben died, they described him as having lost his battle with cancer. Wendy wanted to scream. He didn't lose anything. He got dealt a crappy hand in this life. And then he inspired a community, countless people, people she will never meet. How do you call that losing? In the years since, Wendy has channeled everything she learned in those three and a half years of treatment into the Benjamin Goldberg Foundation, which advocates for what she calls the healing arts in healthcare. At Sloan Kettering, a dance therapist had walked into Ben's treatment room one day and changed everything. His blood pressure dropped. He needed less medication than the other kids. The nurses came in and danced. And Wendy thought, I want to bring this home. She did. Today, every child who walks into their local children's hospital in Virginia has access to music therapy, art therapy, dance therapy, yoga, and Reiki, because of Ben. Because of one little boy with headphones and a heart full of music. The foundation has since expanded into social prescribing, partnering with a regional health system to explore the formal prescription of music and art to reduce anxiety, depression, and hospital visits. And Wendy has written it all down in her book, Mom's Book: It Was Never About the Grief, just published last month, because that is the whole truth of it. It was never about the grief. It was about Ben. And Ben is still in every room. You can find Mom's Book wherever books are sold.

How do you tell the difference between spiritual guidance, fear, and your own overthinking? In this episode, Robyn Benelli and Danni Smith break down how intuitive discernment actually works in daily life. Learn how to tune into your physical body to recognize fear-based mental spinning, shift out of emotional matching, and anchor into grounded truth with micro-practices like Gassho and the Reiki Ideals. Key Insights: The Somatic Check-In: Real guidance carries a calm, grounded weight in the physical body. Fear, worry, and intrusive thoughts typically present as urgency, repetitive spinning, tension, and a racing mind. When unsure, a simple breath or placing hands in Gassho allows the body's spiritual muscle memory to reset. Energetic Entrainment & Empathic Disentanglement: Highly sensitive people often match the emotional frequencies of those around them, mistaking external anxiety for intuitive direction. Dropping back into your authentic center and returning to the Reiki Ideals helps untangle your true guidance from collective or interpersonal noise. Navigating the Field of Possibilities: High-creativity daydreaming and wishful thinking can mimic intuitive inspiration. By pausing in the "Field of Possibilities" to ask for your clear next step, you can look beneath surface daydreams to reveal the authentic soul need, such as unstructured creative expression or self-care. Discernment Is a Practiced Skill: Spiritual discernment does not require immediate, 100% certainty. Intuition is a skill built over time through repetition, boundary-setting, and practice rather than a magical gift reserved for a select few. People Also Ask (FAQ) How can I tell the difference between intuition and fear? Intuition registers as grounded awareness in the body, even when addressing difficult situations. Fear and anxiety feel frantic, urgent, and mentally repetitive, creating physical tightness or a spinning sensation in the chest and stomach. What is Clair Intellect in spiritual guidance? Clair intellect is the intuitive ability to receive guidance directly as clear, spontaneous thoughts and problem-solving. While powerful, it requires discernment practices, such as Gassho and somatic body checks, to ensure insights are not being confused with overthinking or worry. Can spiritual discernment and intuition be learned? Yes, spiritual discernment is a skill that is developed through consistent practice rather than an innate gift reserved for a select few. By using regular meditative anchors, Reiki self-practice, and somatic awareness, anyone can train their spiritual muscle memory to trust intuitive insights Connect with Robyn and Colleen Website: https://reikilifestyle.com Podcast: https://reikilifestyle.com/podcast/ Community: Join our next Distance Reiki Share: https://reikilifestyle.com/reiki-share/ **DISCLAIMER** This episode is not a substitute for seeking professional medical care but is offered for relaxation and stress reduction, which support the body's natural healing capabilities.

Are you tired of second-guessing whether an intuitive download is authentic spiritual guidance or just fear and overthinking? In this guided Reiki journey led by Danni Smith, you will bring a specific decision, hunch, or concern into sacred space to test its energetic tone and physical somatic response. Learn how to recognize the felt difference between steady inner knowing and urgent mental pressure while anchoring deep self-trust without needing immediate certainty. Key Insights Somatic Tone vs. Mental Urgency: Authentic spiritual guidance registers as steady, spacious, and clear, even when asking you to do something challenging. In contrast, fear, old stories, and overthinking typically present as physical heaviness, tightness in the throat or chest, and a frantic demand to act immediately. The Expansion Test: Real guidance offers curiosity, options, and room to take a manageable next step. Fear contracts your energetic field, making you feel small, anxious, and locked into only one rigid, acceptable outcome. Trusting Without Total Certainty: Discernment is a living practice rather than an instantaneous final verdict. By pausing, muscle testing, and placing Reiki around the sensations, you learn to trust your inner knowing and stay in motion without needing 100% certainty. The River of Flow and Synchronicities: Once you release the pressure to fix or evaluate guidance right away, clarity naturally unfolds through divine timing. Guides often confirm aligned steps through everyday messages, license plates, songs, and the smooth flow of the River of Peace. People Also Ask (FAQ) How does genuine spiritual guidance feel in the body? Authentic spiritual guidance feels steady, grounded, and open in the body, even when delivering a difficult truth. It provides space and curiosity rather than physical tightness, heaviness, or frantic urgency. How can I tell if a thought is coming from fear or intuition? Fear demands immediate, pressured action and creates a sensation of closing down options or repeating old patterns. Intuition unfolds with calm clarity, offering possibilities and inviting you to take one aligned next step at a time. Do I need total certainty to trust my intuition? No, spiritual discernment rarely requires 100% certainty before taking action. Practicing self-trust involves pausing, listening to somatic cues or muscle testing, and allowing momentum to build like a flowing river.

Flower essences represent the spirit of the plant, offering a safe and effective method for emotional healing and self-discovery. They can help you gently navigate life’s transitions, ease anxiety, calm a restless nervous system, and deepen your self-trust. How Colleen Came to Work with Flower Essences Colleen Schaffer has been passionately curious about flowers and plants since she was a little girl. She recently left a 20-year career in corporate real estate to work with flowers, plants, and offer energy healing full time. While looking at my intuitive Edge website to prepare for this episode, Colleen realized “This is literally why I left my career. You have to remember how magical you are.” Her favorite place to be is still outside. She loves looking at plants and seeing what’s popping up. As she says, “there’s a lot that we can learn just through observation.” If you look closely at a plant, she insists you can often get real clues about its healing properties. What Is a Flower Essence? A flower essence represents the spirit of the plant. Colleen explains that it’s made by placing fresh flowers into water, creating an infusion with sunlight. From there, you dilute the essence several times, so it works like a homeopathic remedy. In a way, what remains is the electrical or energetic information of the flower, which is the highest expression of the plant. This kind of remedy works well with your own energy and electrical system. It’s a very safe way of healing and working through emotional issues. As Colleen puts it, flower essences are great for people learning to heal themselves and trust their own intuition. You really can’t go wrong with them, take it the wrong way, or take too much. They are so gentle. The mother formula is preserved with alcohol and for this, Colleen usually reaches for 100-proof vodka. Others prefer to preserve it with brandy. For the dosage bottles she sends home with clients, she often uses a red shiso base instead. This is a plant-based alternative for anyone sensitive to alcohol. When Flowers Talk Back Before making an essence, Colleen sits with the plant to get to know it. She doesn’t feel like she receives messages from angels or spirits — but she does get insights from the plants themselves. “It sounds like my own voice in my head,” she says, “but it’s smarter than me and way more insightful.” I have my own version of this. Over 30 years ago, setting up pots on my first front porch, I was about to plant dahlias when I heard, “Plant me in a big pot because I’m going to grow big.” There was no effort made to communicate with plants. I’d never heard a plant talk before. The Findhorn Garden in Scotland open this amazing even more for me. In the late 1960s, the founders — broke, having lost their jobs in hotel management, working land that wasn’t built for growing anything — were guided to plant a garden anyway. One was drawn to nature spirits and elementals, one received messages from God, another talked with what she called the overlighting angels of the land. They’d need wood, and it would fall off a truck in the road. And the garden grew cabbages that weighed 40 pounds. Reading about this sent me down an enchanting rabbit hole of nature-spirit stories. I also read The Elves at Lily Hill Farm, which is about a vineyard tended by unseen helpers. Working with any plant can bring back that same childlike wonder. How does a maple tree know how many leaves it needs? How does a little whirling seed become a whole tree? One year, I noticed my maple trees had flowers. They were tiny green ones I’d never spotted before. There’s a lot to learn if you can settle yourself, relax, and actually open your eyes. How Colleen Works with Clients When Colleen works with Reiki clients, the essence that person needs will come as a vision or its name will come to mind. That’s what guides the personalized bottle she sends home with them afterward, pulled from hundreds of formulas she’s built over the years. Sometimes one essence is the most powerful thing you can use. Other times Colleen blends two to six. Some commercial formulas go much further like Green Hope Farm's anxiety blend which uses close to 30 different flowers. According to Colleen, plant medicine is intelligent enough to go where they’re needed, the same way energy work does this. What’s meant to find you will find you. I was drawn to Wild Oat, during a stretch of feeling a little lost about my direction. Colleen loves working with this essence too. She had one client stay on it for months, feeling calmer while she worked through a big decision. Colleen compares the way Wild Oat feels to, “a bowl of oatmeal that's warm and comforting.” Flower Essences vs. Tinctures – Not the Same Colleen also makes tinctures, which is an herbal remedy meant for something closer to a medicinal response. An alcohol-based tincture gets into your bloodstream faster to address a physical issue and often use of the plant than just the flower. Flower essences are a different tool entirely. They’re made to address emotional situations and peel away the layers beneath the surface. Rescue Remedy (and the related Five Flower Essence formula) is the most common first flower essence people use. These remedies are created to help with something urgent and even safe for kids and animals. I watched my friend calm her fear of heights while on a tram that climbed to the top of a mountain. A few drops worked beautifully! There are lots of remedies for anxiety, like Bach flower Rescue Remedy lozenges. Tulsi tea soothes your nervous system. So does skullcap, which I've taken before bed to settle the nervous system and sleep better. When you start looking up what helps with anxiety, lots of options will surface. Where to Start Colleen’s advice for anyone curious but new to all this is to start by going outside. Not necessarily with flowers from a garden center. Feel free to connect with the weeds coming up behind the shed or whatever’s growing through a crack in the sidewalk. Find something you don’t recognize and look it up. A simple Google image search works, or an app like PlantNet. From there, think about the emotional situation you’re in, then look up a remedy that fits. Colleen believes in using your intuition as the real backup, but you can also search the books. While she has plenty of references material, the final check is always with herself. Even holding an unfamiliar bottle in your hand for a minute will tell you something. Notice how you feel. Do you feel relaxed? That's probably a good match. Feeling buzzy or uptight? That's probably not the right remedy, at least not right now. If you've ever listened to my podcast or read my newsletter, than you know I'm all about trusting yourself. Whatever comes to mind first — don’t question it. That’s the answer, so go with it. Key Flower Magic Takeaways Flower essences work on the emotional level, not the physical one. They’re for feelings, not symptoms, and you genuinely can’t “take them wrong.” You don’t need a garden to start. The weeds behind your shed or coming up through the sidewalk carry just as much information as anything from a store. The Bottle Test: Hold the flower essence remedy bottle and notice how you feel. If you feel relaxed, that means it’s a match. Buzzy or uptight means keep looking. Rescue Remedy is the simplest place to start if you want something for an urgent, in-the-moment situation and it’s safe for kids and pets, too. Your first instinct is almost always the right one. Don’t talk yourself out of it. FAQs What are flower essences? Flower essences are energetic preparations made from flowers and water.

Lori Sill has been through cancer twice. When she reached her last treatment the second time, she couldn't ring the bell — she'd rung it once already, and it hadn't meant what everyone said it would mean. In this episode, Mechelle finally brings her best friend of more than a decade to the mic. Lori talks openly about what she's living right now: the recovery nobody prepares you for, the years it took last time to get her strength back, the mental gymnastics of every new ache, and why going through it a second time was harder because she already knew what was coming. She also shares what changed in round two, from how she handled the medications to the boundaries she's holding now around her work and her energy. Their friendship runs underneath all of it. They go back to the hike neither of them wanted to be on, the gas station drinks that became a lifeline, and the time on the couch when a quiz from a book pulled the blinders off Lori's marriage. Lori is also the reason this show exists — she went first into the oils, into Reiki, into the shamanic work, and left the door open behind her every time. Then they pull four Glow & Tell cards — Mind, Spirit, Body, and Soul. Lori answers what thought pattern she had to unlearn, how she explains the unseen to someone who only trusts proof, what her body does when it feels truly safe, and the difference between forgiveness and simply moving on. If you're in the after — the part where everyone thinks you're fine — this one's for you.Watch the video version in the wholeness library.Explore The Wholeness Library App FREE!Apple:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wholeness-library/id1545002697 Android:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thewholenessnetwork.thewholenessnetworkOn the web https://www.thewholenessnetwork.com/Follow ushttps://www.instagram.com/thewholenessnetwork/https://www.facebook.com/thewholenessnetworkLeave us a message! tel:646-883-3350Information is intended for entertainment only

What if a belief you've seen all over New Age spirituality has a history you've never been told?This week we're diving deep into the origins of Starseeds and following the trail from Lemuria and Theosophy to William Dudley Pelley and the ideas that shaped modern Starseed culture.We explore how a scientific theory about lemurs became a lost civilization, how racial hierarchies became woven into spiritual teachings, and how those ideas evolved into beliefs about advanced souls, alien races and even reptilian beings.This isn't about shaming anyone who has connected with Starseed beliefs. It's about understanding where these ideas came from, recognising the history they carry, and deciding what we want to take forward in our own spiritual practices.Resources Mentioned:Joel A.

Wise Divine Women - Libido - Menopause - Hormones- Oh My! The Unfiltered Truth for Christian Women
What if midlife isn't a crisis at all—but an invitation to become more fully who you are?In this inspiring episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine welcomes holistic health and wellness coach Erin Dougherty for a powerful conversation about reinvention, menopause, the mind-body connection, energy healing, and learning to trust yourself through life's transitions.Erin shares her own winding journey from an 18-year career as an English teacher to clinical research and eventually holistic health coaching. After experiencing severe burnout during the pandemic, Erin made the courageous decision to leave teaching at age 47 without knowing exactly what would come next.That leap became the beginning of a new chapter.Erin reminds us that when we reinvent ourselves in midlife, we are not starting from zero. We carry our lived experiences, education, wisdom, challenges, relationships, successes, and failures with us. Every experience can become “fodder for your next move.”Dana and Erin explore why women in perimenopause and menopause often need more than another one-size-fits-all wellness plan. Hormonal changes may collide with chronic stress, changing bodies, aging parents, children leaving—or remaining—in the home, career transitions, relationship changes, and years of putting everyone else first.Erin's whole-person approach begins by asking deeper questions: What is happening in your life? What do you value? What do you truly want to change? And perhaps most importantly—why does that change matter to you?Rather than focusing only on numbers such as weight on the scale, Erin helps women connect their health goals to the life they actually want to live.The Mind-Body Connection in MidlifeThis conversation also explores two of Erin's therapeutic tools: Reiki and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping).Erin shares how grief originally led her to Reiki after the sudden loss of her best friend. After experiencing a profound shift in grief she had carried for years, she became a Reiki practitioner and eventually a Reiki Master.She also explains EFT tapping, a technique that combines tapping specific points on the body with intentional language and thought patterns. Erin uses EFT to help clients explore emotional blocks, repetitive thought patterns, stress, setbacks, and beliefs that may be keeping them stuck.During perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal fluctuations may coincide with anxiety, overwhelm, disrupted sleep, changing emotions, body changes, and increased stress, reconnecting with the body can become an important part of wellness.Wordds of Wisdom“Wherever you go, there you are.”Erin encourages women to stop trying to escape themselves through the next house, job, relationship, goal, or version of the future. Instead, begin meeting yourself where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and love.If this conversation speaks to you, share it with a friend, sister, or woman in your life who needs the reminder that midlife can be a rebirth—not a crisis.

Send Us a Message!Badassery isn't a vibe. It's a practiced relationship with your own energy, your body, and your boundaries. We get real about what it looks like to move from years of people pleasing, second-guessing, and overgiving into a grounded “unfuckwithable” steadiness that still stays heart-open and human.In this episode we'll explore:
In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, acclaimed jazz keyboardist, composer, author, and mentor John Novello reflects on the remarkable journey that led him from a small-town musician to performing alongside some of the biggest names in contemporary music — and the inner guidance that shaped every step along the way.John shares stories from a career that includes serving as musical director for A Taste of Honey, performing with legendary artists such as Al Jarreau, The Manhattan Transfer, Donna Summer, and Rita Coolidge, and discovering that success is often born from unexpected moments. A chance snowstorm in Erie, Pennsylvania, brought a renowned record producer into the lounge where John's band happened to be performing, resulting in his first record deal. Although that opportunity unexpectedly dissolved, John explains how what felt like failure ultimately redirected him toward an even greater purpose.Throughout the episode, John encourages listeners to trust the subtle guidance of intuition. He recalls a vivid childhood memory at just three years old when an inner voice prompted him toward music—an experience he now recognizes as the beginning of a lifelong relationship with what he calls "The Invisible Architect."Rather than seeing intuition as something mystical or reserved for a select few, John describes it as the quiet wisdom that continually guides us toward our life's purpose. Whether we call it our higher self, divine guidance, or inner knowing, he believes this voice is always inviting us to become the fullest expression of who we were created to be.John also explores one of the central ideas from his bestselling book: that lasting change begins within. Instead of focusing on changing external circumstances, he encourages us to examine our thoughts, beliefs, and inner dialogue. As our inner world changes, our outer world naturally begins to reflect it.The episode concludes with an invitation to pay closer attention to those moments of intuition, curiosity, and inspiration that often appear throughout our lives. They may be pointing us toward a path we haven't yet imagined—but one that has been waiting for us all along.Learn more about John and his work at:www.johnnovelloauthor.comYou can also find The Invisible Architect on Amazon and other major booksellers.Thank you for listening—and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.

Discover how to clearly recognize your inner guidance and take your next aligned step using Reiki and intuitive awareness. Colleen Benelli explores practical tools to move beyond self-doubt, access your unique clairsenses, and align the perception triad, head, heart, and gut, into physical reality. Learn how microdosing Reiki in your busy daily life opens the door to your authentic spiritual direction. Key Insights: Guidance in Busyness (Microdosing Reiki): You do not need absolute quiet or rigid rituals to access intuitive wisdom. By "microdosing Reiki" on the fly, taking a breath and activating Reiki while walking or working, you clear mental clutter and allow guidance to highlight what matters in real time. The Perception Triad & 5-Brain System: Authentic guidance integrates the head (practical logic), the heart (possibility and desire), and the gut (soul-level instinct). Expanding this system to include the Divine brain and Earth brain creates a vertical channel from the cosmos and Moon down through the Soul Star, chakras, and Earth Star. Your Clairsenses Are Unique: Intuitive perception does not look the same for everyone. Whether you perceive through clear seeing (clairvoyance), clear hearing (clairaudience), clear physical feeling (clairsentience), or sudden inner knowing (claircognizance), Reiki helps heal old beliefs so you can validate your natural channel. True Guidance vs. Rumination: Clear inner guidance arrives with a grounded, calm resonance in the body, even when warning you to avoid a path. If a thought causes repetitive, anxious cycling, evaluate it, activate Reiki to the question, and consciously dismiss fear-based noise. People Also Ask (FAQ) How can I tell the difference between spiritual guidance and my own overthinking? Spiritual guidance registers as a calm, highlighted recognition or a clear physical shift in your body. Overthinking typically involves repetitive looping or rumination; when this arises, activate Reiki to ground into your body and dismiss unproductive mental noise. What is the Perception Triad in Reiki? The Perception Triad is the energetic alignment of the head brain (practical logic), heart brain (emotional truth and openness), and gut brain (soul memory and instinct), working in harmony with divine and earthly energies to receive accurate intuitive direction. Do I need total silence and meditation to hear my spiritual guidance? No; intuitive guidance can be received during everyday activities through "Reiki on the fly" or microdosing Reiki. While dedicated stillness is valuable, Spirit regularly provides insights in busy settings, during walks, or in the shower.

Step into this guided Reiki journey to clear intuitive blocks, release comparison, and reconnect with your authentic spiritual guidance. Travel across the Bridge of Light to the River of Life and the sacred Tree of Life to unify your divine mind, human self, and higher consciousness. Learn how to align your Perception Triad, head, heart, and gut, to receive clear, grounded direction for your next step. Key Insights Surrendering to the River of Life: The river moves effortlessly without needing to see the entire bend ahead. When you stop trying to control every outcome from the riverbank and step into the flow, Reiki dissolves the fear of making a mistake and opens the channel to receive. Clearing Old Stories at the Riverbanks: Intuitive blocks often stem from past disappointments, feeling inadequate compared to others, or demanding proof before trusting your inner knowing. Surrendering these expectations into the River of Life creates clean energetic space for your authentic voice to emerge. Unification at the Tree of Life: At the Tree of Life, heaven and earth meet, unifying your divine consciousness with your practical human reality. Spiritual guidance is not reserved for a select few; it is a grounded, learnable skill developed through consistent listening and everyday practice. The Perception Triad Integration: Returning to the physical realm requires anchoring guidance through the Perception Triad, asking what the head brain (practical logic), the heart brain (emotional truth), and the gut brain (instinct and soul memory) have to say about your next step. People Also Ask (FAQ) How do I practice automatic writing during a guided Reiki journey? Automatic writing involves holding a pen to paper after activating Reiki and allowing thoughts, words, or symbols to flow without editing or judgment. It allows your higher self and guides to communicate directly through your hand, bypassing analytical overthinking. What is the Perception Triad in spiritual practice? The Perception Triad is the alignment of your head, heart, and gut brains. Rather than bypassing logic or instinct, this framework integrates practical reason, emotional desire, and deep soul knowing into unified action. Why do I feel blocked from receiving spiritual guidance? Blocks usually arise from self-doubt, fear of being wrong, comparing yourself to others, or expecting guidance to look like dramatic visions. Guided journeys help wash away these false expectations and attune you to your natural clairsenses.

Cat Wagner kept seeing the phoenix — in meditation, in birds, in everything — until one day she became it. That was the moment she finally named her business and stopped waiting for permission. In this Wholeness Guide conversation, Cat and Mechelle get into what it actually looks like to hold multiple healing modalities at once: Reiki Master training, shamanic technique, angelic healing, tarot and oracle, runes, the I Ching, and human design. Cat teaches full time, reads for clients online, and weaves these tools together based on what a person actually needs in the moment. We go into the question Mechelle has been sitting with: if human design says your energetic blueprint is fixed, and Reiki says energy is fluid and can shift — how do both stay true? Cat's answer is one of the clearest we've heard. She also walks us through what runes and the I Ching are and how to work with them, why she never picks the deck for you, and the most common mistake people make when they start reading for themselves — asking a question they've already decided the answer to. (Mechelle owns having done exactly that. Cat pulled the Tower. Twice.) If you've ever wanted a reading but worried you'd be handing over your own authority, this one is for you. In this episode:— Why the phoenix arrived before the business did, and what had to burn first— Holding a fixed blueprint and fluid energy at the same time— Runes and the I Ching, explained plainly— Why the Tower card isn't the bad news you think it is— Where to start if you want to read for yourselfConnect with CatRising Phoenix Website: https://risingphoenixehs.com/Instagram: @risingphoenix.ehsEmail: risingphoenix.ehs@gmail.comWatch the video version in the wholeness library.Explore The Wholeness Library App FREE!Apple:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wholeness-library/id1545002697 Android:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thewholenessnetwork.thewholenessnetworkOn the web https://www.thewholenessnetwork.com/Follow ushttps://www.instagram.com/thewholenessnetwork/https://www.facebook.com/thewholenessnetworkLeave us a message! tel:646-883-3350Information is intended for entertainment only
What happens when your intuition is wrong, and is being wrong actually the worst thing that can happen?I have a story for you that started when my friend was coming over for dinner at 7:30 pm. At 7:30 pm, my doorbell rang, so I yelled “come in!” from the kitchen and kept doing what I was doing, except no one came in. When I went to check the door, no one was there, so I went back to the kitchen and a few moments later the doorbell rang again, but once again, no one was there.Then things got weird because my doorbell started ringing over and over again, aggressively, for almost an entire minute, and yes, I have the video, so you can go watch the whole thing happen on Instagram.When my friend finally arrived, we immediately started trying to figure out what had just happened. Was it spirit trying to get my attention, was it someone coming through for my friend, was it someone for me, or was August 11th an important anniversary that I was supposed to recognize?Then another thought popped into my head. Was someone passing away and coming to say goodbye?That thought sent me into calling my family, putting everyone on high alert, and trying to figure out what my intuition was actually telling me.Was my intuition right, was I picking up on something that was actually happening, or was I completely wrong about the entire thing?This week's episode is about why trusting your intuition is worth it, even when there is a chance you might be wrong. What is actually the worst-case scenario of following your intuition and getting it wrong, and how does that compare to the worst-case scenario of getting an intuitive hit, ignoring it, and finding out later that you should have listened?Sometimes being wrong is still worth it if it means continuing to listen, practice, and trust yourself, and this story was a very good reminder of exactly that.__________Register for the Strategic Business Planning Masterclass 2027 happening virtually on October 10:BUSINESS MASTERCLASSSign up for the monthly Mediumship Practice Circle (September & October):MEDIUMSHIP PRACTICE CIRCLESThe Medium in the Middle website:www.themediuminthemiddle.comFollow along on social media:Click here for the Free Facebook group for developing mediums and sitters:MEDIUM IN THE MIDDLE FACEBOOKMEDIUM IN THE MIDDLE ON INSTAGRAMMEDIUM IN THE MIDDLE TIKTOK Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this conversation, Gail Donohue and I sit down with Jessie Marcheski, founder of Soul Serenity, for her first-ever podcast interview. Jessie's path moved from medical massage into oncology massage into Reiki and energy work — not by planning it, but by noticing what her hands kept doing without her consciously intending it. We talk about distance Reiki, animal Reiki, boundaries, and the pattern of being a giver who struggles to receive.

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster Life Purpose, Intuition, and the New Hollywood with Brianna Brown Keen Ken D Foster sits down with actress, producer and philanthropist Brianna Brown Keen, founder of The New Hollywood and Manifesting Your Mission, for a wide-ranging conversation on finding life purpose, trusting intuition, facing fear, and healing the body and mind. A Show Built Around Life Purpose Ken D Foster opens the Voices of Courage broadcast the way he often does, asking listeners to consider what might still be missing even after they reach a hard-won goal. He tells his audience that the answer, for many people, is a clear sense of life purpose, and that fear is usually the force keeping that purpose from surfacing. Foster explains that without a defined mission, a person tends to end up living everyone else's agenda instead of their own. He then welcomes his guest, actress, producer, entrepreneur and philanthropist Brianna Brown Keen, introducing the episode under the title The New Hollywood: Changing Lives With Purpose. Keen immediately connects the title to her own nonprofit, The New Hollywood, which she founded more than twenty years earlier, and the two agree the alignment was unplanned. From the first minutes, the conversation is framed less as a Hollywood career story than as a discussion of mission, intuition and service, setting up everything that follows. From Minnesota Suburbs to Screen Credits Keen describes growing up in the suburbs of Minnesota with no family history in the arts, moving to Los Angeles at nineteen after landing representation, and being told by her parents to sink or swim. She says she never chased fame for its own sake and would have taken a more strategic route if she had, and that acting drew her instead through a love of character and psychology. Over more than 350 film and television credits, she found the work increasingly self-focused compared to theater, which pushed her toward community with other artists who wanted more than a solo spotlight. That search produced The New Hollywood, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and its sister project Manifesting Your Mission, which now includes a coaching practice, a guidebook, a podcast and retreats. Keen tells Foster the organization's current focus is the TNH Accountability Program, which pairs formerly homeless single mothers with schooling grants and mentorship, turning what she calls gifts and hard circumstances into something constructive for others. Journaling, Intuition and Slowing Down Foster and Keen turn to how purpose is actually located day to day. Keen calls herself faith-based in a non-religious sense, describing a still small voice she has learned to trust, and credits her Reiki Master training with sharpening that intuition. She explains the structure of her Manifesting Your Mission guidebook, which walks readers through annual goal-setting, quarterly check-ins on what worked and what did not, and journaling exercises for moving through emotional triggers. Foster shares his own experience nearly passing over Keen's publicity materials before an instinct pulled him back to read them closely, calling it a live example of the intuition they are discussing. He tells listeners he has preached slow down to succeed for years, citing Paramahansa Yogananda's line that stillness is the price of greatness and Leonardo da Vinci's remark that isolation is the price of greatness. Keen agrees that consistency, not motivation, is what most people actually lack once they identify what they want. Facing Stage Fright and Naming Fear The conversation shifts to courage, which Foster defines as an energy that only appears once someone steps into the unknown. Keen answers with her own history of severe stage fright as a middle schooler, so crippling she could not finish a line and was cut from a school play cast as a tree; bullying around age thirteen or fourteen later pushed her back toward performing, and she says the anxiety persisted into her twenties even as a working actress. She frames overcoming it as simply getting repetitions and doing the thing despite the fear, so long as there is no real physical danger. Foster matches the story with his own childhood fear of speaking in front of a room and a memory of standing at the edge of Half Dome in Yosemite while a hiking companion panicked on his behalf. Both agree that naming a fear precisely, rather than staying vague about it, is the necessary first step before anyone can decide to work through it. Health, Healing and Staying Grounded Keen connects purpose to physical health, saying that fatigue and chronic illness are often the real reason people cannot sustain a long-term goal, which is part of why she built the Wellness Babes program with a functional nutritionist around testing, mindset and recipes. Foster responds with memories of grandparents whose rheumatoid arthritis and weight gain slowly took away their mobility, and says he set staying pain-free as a personal life mission, crediting Reiki and a functional-medicine doctor who told him disease progresses through stages, from self-healing to needing a practitioner to needing more. Both hosts argue for combining Western and Eastern approaches rather than choosing one, with Keen citing acupuncture that helped heal her back during a period on disability. Foster mentions witnessing what he describes as roughly two hundred unexplained recoveries at a chapel in Arizona over three years, a claim he offers without further evidence. Keen adds that unmanaged stress and poor boundaries, especially for women, often drive autoimmune illness. Community, Family and Giving Back As the hour closes, Foster and Keen discuss reactivity learned from performing and reality television, and how conflict avoidance through addiction of any kind stalls emotional development. Keen says most of the women in the TNH Accountability Program lack a consistent parental figure and lose the social connections that keep people housed, echoing a San Diego shelter founder Foster once interviewed who told him isolation, not substance use, is the true root of homelessness. Both stress that family, more than clients or colleagues, has been their sharpest teacher. Keen closes by directing listeners to manifestingyourmission.org, wellnessbabes.org and thenewhollywood.org, mentioning her September 19 Pouring Into Yourself retreat in Sonoma, a six-week Wellness Babes transformation program, and an October 2 fundraiser for the nonprofit reachable through faith@thenewhollywood.org. Foster thanks her warmly, mentions a future speaking connection with his wife's Women's Wisdom event in San Diego, and signs off encouraging viewers to subscribe on YouTube so they do not miss future episodes.

Healing in midlife doesn’t need to be on anyone’s timeline but your own. Reiki master Tracy Searight joins us to discuss what happens when you stop rushing your recovery and learn how to harness the healing wisdom you already carry. After losing her sister suddenly in 2020, Tracy felt completely broken, unable to teach or trust her own voice. In this conversation, she explains how the energy modality of Reiki became the tool that helped her regulate grief, rebuild her confidence, and eventually start over completely at 50. We talk about the challenges of being an empty nester, moving cross country and starting a whole new business. And Tracy discusses why she believes so many women sabotage their own healing by comparing their recovery to everyone else’s. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “behind” on your own life, this conversation is for you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why grief in midlife often shows up as sudden waves of overwhelm and simple ways to regulate your nervous system in the moment What Reiki actually is (and isn't) — clearing up the biggest misconceptions before you try it How comparing your healing to someone else's timeline quietly keeps you stuck Why trusting “your season” isn't just a nice idea; it's a practice you can build your confidence around About My Guest Tracy Searight is a Reiki master and teacher of multiple Reiki systems. She’s also the founder of Feather Sister, host of the Ready Set Reiki podcast, and co-host of the Laughing Lightworkers show on New Reality TV.

You manifested the thing. So why doesn't it feel like you thought it would? In this episode of the Manifestation & Money Podcast, Jen welcomes Jessica Ann for a conversation about sustainable manifestation—and what it means to receive, enjoy, and feel at home in the life you're creating. A registered nurse, Reiki practitioner, and founder of Somatic Energetics Academy, Jessica shares her journey through divorce, raising young children, working two jobs, and building a business. Along the way, she began exploring the connection between her beliefs, emotional wellbeing, and the changes she wanted to make. Together, we explore: ✨ The difference between a quick manifestation and lasting fulfillment. ✨ Jessica's perspective on worthiness, identity, and receiving. ✨ What somatic work means and how it brings the body into the conversation. ✨ Why you don't need to feel positive all the time. ✨ How to meet self-doubt with curiosity and compassion. ✨ A simple two-hour check-in to help you step out of autopilot. If you've been doing all the things while putting your own needs last, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with yourself.

What exactly are the Akashic Records, and if everyone experiences them differently, how can we know the information coming through is actually true?Daniel is joined by Stefanie Ruth, host of When Spirit Talks, Reiki practitioner, and Akashic Records reader, for a conversation about spirituality, religion, intuition, and the mysterious idea of a spiritual database containing information about our lives, past lives, and possible futures.Before diving into the Akashic Records, Stefanie shares how her Catholic upbringing shaped her relationship with God, Jesus, and spirituality, and why she eventually moved away from the more rigid aspects of organized religion without abandoning the beliefs that still resonate with her.From there, Daniel and Stefanie explore what the Akashic Records might actually be, how someone accesses them, and whether different people could be receiving different versions of the truth. If the experience is filtered through our own consciousness, where does genuine spiritual information end and imagination begin? And how much confidence should we place in information that can't be objectively verified?Stefanie also shares how she approaches Akashic Records readings, why she believes discernment and personal responsibility matter, and an experience in which information she received about someone's past life appeared to mirror circumstances unfolding in that person's present life.The conversation eventually gets even more philosophical: Are the Akashic Records fixed, or are we constantly contributing to them through our choices? Can the future ever truly be predicted? And if the Akashic Records exist, who or what created them in the first place?Stefanie's links:YouTube & IG @iamstefanieruthWebsite https://www.liveandbreathereiki.com/

Kathleen Baker's BIO: Kathleen Baker (Nandin) — Flutist, Composer & Meditative Music Guide There's a moment in every Nandin performance when the room seems to exhale. That's the gift Kathleen Baker has spent a lifetime cultivating. Raised in Calgary and classically trained at the University of Calgary and the Royal Conservatory of Music, Kathleen began her career on symphony stages—performing with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and studying under flute masters Robert Aitken, Marcel Moyse, Julius Baker, and Jeanne Baxtresser. But her path soon widened beyond the concert hall. For decades Kathleen—known to her students and listeners as Nandin—has woven together music and stillness. She's taught at Universities, recorded with beloved artists like Deva Premal & Miten, Manish Vyas, Chinmaya Dunster, and Harry Manx, and created cherished albums, including Zen Spa, Celestial Spa, and Reiki Meditations. Her healing path runs just as deep. Nandin trained directly with B.K.S. Iyengar in India and became an accredited Iyengar Yoga teacher, later studying Reiki, Shiatsu, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, and Emotional Freedom Technique—practices she now folds into the events and performances she offers. Today, you'll find her leading "Meditative Music Making" sessions, crafting original guided meditations, and sharing her Experience Oneness workshop with audiences worldwide—most recently at the 2025 National Flute Convention in Atlanta. Nandin invites you not just to listen, but to arrive—fully, gently, present. In this episode, Virginia and Kathleen talked about: Laura's journey from marketing to mentoring Building genuine referral relationships Creating trust before asking for referrals Why networking is a long-term strategy Using authenticity to strengthen relationships Takeaways: You have to really be there to play.

September feels like a gateway month into the mystical, spiritual unknown. In this place, doors are opening and new beginnings are ready to arrive with the full completion of an old karmic cycle. Listen for the full update:
In this episode, renowned neurosurgeon, author, and compassion researcher the late Dr. James Doty shares the remarkable true story that changed the course of his life. (He shared his story in an interview with Mark in 2020.)Growing up in difficult circumstances, Dr. Doty recalls being a 12-year-old boy filled with anger, fear, and hopelessness, convinced he had no future. Everything began to change one summer afternoon when he wandered into a small magic shop and met an extraordinary woman whose kindness would alter his life's direction.She greeted him with a genuine smile, treated him with dignity, and created a sense of psychological safety that allowed him to be seen—not as a troubled child, but as someone with unlimited potential. Over the following six weeks, she introduced him to practices that were virtually unknown in the West at the time: mindfulness, self-compassion, and the power of reshaping the stories we tell ourselves.Dr. Doty explains that our minds naturally cling to negative experiences, creating an inner narrative that can limit our lives. By learning to replace thoughts like "I'm not good enough" with beliefs rooted in self-worth and possibility, he began to see both himself and the world differently.He describes how changing his inner dialogue transformed every aspect of his future—from believing he could attend college and medical school to becoming a Stanford neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, founder of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, and author of the bestselling memoir Into the Magic Shop.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Doty reminds us that mindfulness and self-compassion are not simply feel-good practices—they literally help us access our innate capacity for resilience, purpose, and connection. As we become kinder to ourselves, we begin to recognize that everyone carries a story, everyone experiences suffering, and everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.He closes with a powerful reminder that each of us has the opportunity, every single day, to make one person's life a little better.Dr. James R. Doty was a neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. He founded the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford, an internationally recognized center exploring the science of compassion, mindfulness, and human flourishing.His bestselling memoir, Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart, has inspired readers around the world with its message that compassion, intention, and self-belief can transform lives.Although Dr. Doty has since passed away, his work continues to influence medicine, neuroscience, education, and the growing field of compassion research.Thank you for listening—and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.

Discover how to connect with your inner authority, and clearly recognize your spiritual guidance using practical Reiki tools. As major astrological shifts move us from outside authority to personal sovereignty, Robyn and Colleen Benelli share how to listen to subtle signs and take your aligned next step with confidence. Key Insights: Moving to Inner Sovereignty: We are moving away from relying on external authorities and remembering how to access our own inner truth, autonomy, and Divine Spirit to guide our daily lives. Guidance in Everyday Life: Spiritual guidance does not require rigid dogma; it appears through intuitive insight, trusted friends, nature (like trees or stones), and everyday moments when we pay attention. Taking the Next Step: Guidance is meant to be applied. Rather than needing the entire long-term plan mapped out, tune into your guidance to take just one aligned, practical step forward. Microdosing Reiki for Clarity: Activating Reiki in short, focused bursts throughout the day, or intending "I receive Reiki," helps clear mental noise, ground your energy, and restore focus. People Also Ask (FAQ) How can I tell if I am receiving spiritual guidance Spiritual guidance comes through your personal intuitive style (clairsenses), practical life insights, and everyday synchronicities, whether from words spoken by a friend, messages in nature, or a sudden inner knowing. What is 'microdosing' Reiki?Microdosing Reiki is the practice of activating Reiki energy in brief moments throughout the day simply by intending "Reiki on" or "I receive Reiki" to restore calm, clear the mind, and maintain energetic alignment. How does Reiki help in taking the next step? Reiki helps clear mental clutter, balances the throat and mind, and connects you to symbols of compassionate action and grounding (such as Kriya and Rama), allowing you to move forward with practical confidence.

TODAY'S QUESTION: To my favorite trio of advice professionals, I have been with my wife for ten years and married for six years. I love her dearly and try to make sure I always have her back. She is smart, talented, and supportive. She also believes she was put on this planet to help and heal people. One of the many things I love that about her. The problem is, her version of healing relates less to medicine and science and more towards energy work and spirituality. She wants to start a business that is part reiki healing and part body energy work. We're not destitute, but we definitely don't have that ‘pursue a seemingly volatile business idea' kind of money either. Especially in a time where everything feels like it's on fire and extra money for these types of services seems to be at a premium. While I'm not completely against her pursuing these healing opportunities, how do I stay supportive of her dream while very much not supporting this specific business idea? Keep up the good work, fellas Sincerely, Stuck in #@%-@$$ Douglas County LINKS See the Grawlix live at the Bug Theatre on Saturday, September 26th with Dave Ross and Chris Walsh!

In this contemplative episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, spiritual teacher Michael Monk introduces listeners to one of the foundational practices from his Awakening Course — a meditation he calls The Mirror Meditation.Michael explains that we are all reflections of one another, making every encounter an opportunity for greater self-awareness. In this guided practice, he invites listeners to use his face as a mirror, gently focusing on both of his eyes with equal attention. This balanced way of seeing is designed to quiet mental activity, harmonize the brain's two hemispheres, and encourage a deeper state of presence.As the meditation unfolds, participants may notice subtle shifts in perception. Some experience changes in light, color, or the appearance of an aura. Others may observe facial features seeming to soften, change, or even dissolve. Michael emphasizes that these experiences are simply invitations to relax, remain present, and become more aware of the energy that surrounds us.Perhaps the most meaningful part of the practice comes after the meditation itself. Michael encourages listeners to repeat the exercise while looking into their own reflection. By meeting ourselves with openness instead of judgment, we begin to cultivate a deeper relationship with our own inner wisdom and intuition.His closing reminder is both simple and profound:"Remember to love what you see."It is an invitation to approach ourselves with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance—recognizing that peace begins by seeing ourselves with new eyes.About Today's GuestMichael Monk has been teaching spirituality, metaphysics, and energy mastery since 2011. Through meditation, intuitive development, and consciousness practices, he helps students cultivate greater presence, spiritual awareness, and personal transformation.To learn more about Michael and his work, visit:www.michaelmonk.bioMichael 's Facebook pageMichael's IG: https://www.instagram.com/michaelmonkavatar/On YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLhiIVwHdt6F1Kym6nj4h0AThank you for listening — and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.
