Have you been feeling the intense energies of the New Year, wondering why you feel so exhausted, overwhelmed, or "off"? Are you trying to "survive" 2025's energy instead of thriving in what's to come? What if the secret to navigating the chaos isn't escaping to a higher dimension, but rooting yourself deeper into the earth than ever before. Michael welcomes back Cyndi Dale, intuitive healer and bestselling author of over 30 books on energy medicine, for a groundbreaking conversation about the "tumultuous, topical, and tingling" energies we are facing right now. Cyndi Dale reveals the SHOCKING TRUTH: 2026 isn't just about moving forward; it's about taking off the "costumes" we have been wearing for lifetimes. This isn't about spiritual bypassing; it is about accessing your Analog nervous system, the ancient part of you that knows trust, circular time, and oneness, to override the "Digital" panic of the modern world. Discover why the center of the Earth is actually a White Hole, why the First Chakra is the absolute key to your power this year, and the specific breathwork tools to stop fear in its tracks. Key Topics: The 2026 Forecast: Why Cyndi describes the incoming energy as "Tumultuous, Topical, and Tingling," and what it means for your soul's evolution. Why centering in the heart isn't enough anymore, you must align your entire vertical core from the 9th chakra down to the center of the Earth. Understanding the difference between your "Digital" nervous system (linear, fearful, fight-or-flight) and your "Analog" system (circular, trusting, connected). The 1st Chakra Surprise: Why the most spiritual thing you can do right now is focus on your Root Chakra (hips and survival) rather than trying to escape to the upper realms. A powerful, instant technique to disintegrate fear by holding your breath at the bottom of the exhale. Mind-bending science and spirituality behind the Earth's core, acting as a white dwarf star that rejuvenates your energy.  The simple toolkit to stop absorbing other people's energy: "Is this mine?" and "What am I to do with this?" This episode is a sanctuary for your nervous system. If you are ready to stop just "surviving" and start building a foundation that no chaos can shake, this message will help you remember that you are built for this.

Are you feeling shaken to your core by recent world events? Does it feel like we are living through the start of a year of infamy? Is the chaos leaving you paralyzed, angry, or searching for a safe harbor in the storm? In this urgent and soul-shaking special broadcast, Michael Sandler addresses the elephant in the room: the fear, division, and heartbreak hitting us from every angle. This is NOT a political talk; this is a high-level spiritual intervention. Michael reveals why the "us vs. them" narrative is a trap designed to disempower you, and why RADICAL LOVE, especially for those you least want to love, is the only technology powerful enough to stop the madness. Discover why the world isn't ending, but entering a massive healing crisis, and how you can become a "Love Bomber" to shift the global timeline right now. This is your manual for navigating the "Year of the Reckoning" without losing your humanity. Key Topics: The "Us vs. Them" Trap: Why taking sides drains your power and how to spot the "artificial wedge" being driven between us. Radical Compassion: The profound lesson from the Tibetan monks who feared losing compassion for their captors more than death itself. Healing the "Walking Wounds": Understanding that every aggressor, from local tragedies to global dictators, acts from a wounded inner child that needs healing, not hatred. The "Love Bomb" Technique: A challenging but transformative practice: sending massive amounts of love to the specific people or leaders you fear the most. Nervous System Resets: Practical tools to stabilize your energy instantly, including "Turtle Breathing" and the surprising power of "Cute Bunnies" and teddy bear tosses. * The "No Small Talk" Rule: Why you must stop asking "How are you?" and start asking the brave question: "How is your soul doing?" The Global "Healing Crisis": Why the surfacing of old wounds, corruption, and violence is actually a necessary step for the planet's ultimate healing. This episode is a lifeline for your spirit. If you are ready to stop fighting fire with fire and start fighting fear with LOVE, this message will remind you that you are a divine master chosen for this exact moment.

In this episode, I talk about the mystic poets who didn't just shape my theology—they taught me how to pray. Not the greatest-hits version of Catholic mysticism, but the voices that formed my interior life through poetry, longing, and encounter. We explore why poetry has always been the native language of mysticism, how prayer is shaped more by desire than by technique, and why some of the most transformative saints are remembered for their theology while their poetry is quietly forgotten. Along the way, I reflect on John of the Cross, Jacopone da Todi, Mechthild of Magdeburg, and St. Columba—mystics who wrote about God not as an idea, but as fire, wound, pursuit, exile, and love. This isn't a how-to on prayer or a list of spiritual habits, rather it's an invitation into a deeper, more contemplative Catholic spirituality, where longing becomes language and love becomes the teacher.

Is the world falling apart, or is Humanity 2.0 being born right before our eyes? Do you feel "spun," dizzy, or like the ground is constantly shifting beneath your feet? Are you ready to stop managing your life and start allowing your Master Self to take the wheel?  In this explosive and provocative episode, Michael welcomes back Geoffrey Hoppe, channeler of Adamus Saint Germain, for a no-holds-barred conversation about the massive energetic shifts of 2026.  Adamus Saint Germain reveals the SHOCKING TRUTH: We aren't just entering Humanity 2.0; we are leaping into Humanity 5.0. This isn't about fixing the old world; it is about the emergence of New Sentience, a whole new way of perceiving reality that replaces the mental mind. Discover why Gaia is leaving, why AI is your greatest spiritual mirror, and why the "C-Word" (Consciousness) is the only game in town for 2026. Key Topics: Humanity 5.0: Why the new era is here now and why we are 2,000 years overdue for this massive shift in consciousness. The reason you feel dizzy and disoriented, your old mental "driver" is moving to the backseat so a non-linear, non-local awareness can take over. Why Earth's guardian spirit is leaving and what it means for humans to finally take responsibility for the planet. The "C" Word: Why 2026 is officially the year of Consciousness and experiential awareness. How to name your AI and use it as a distortion-free mirror to accelerate your personal growth. Adamus's controversial teaching on radical responsibility, why there are no victims, only creators choosing experiences to learn. Why "Allowing" is the only practice you need to navigate the chaos and get out of your own way. This is a wake-up call. If you are tired of the struggle, this message will remind you that you are a Master and it is time to let your energy serve you. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

Has the shaking of the world left you feeling paralyzed or unsure of how to step forward? Are you looking for a safe harbor in the midst of the "Venezuela events" and global instability? What if the chaos around you is actually an invitation to create an unshakeable sanctuary within you? In this urgent and deeply healing transmission, Michael Sandler shares a powerful nervous system reset designed for right now. Following the recent events that have shaken many to the core, Michael channels Archangel Michael to deliver a message of safety, grounding, and empowerment. This isn't just about surviving the news cycle; it is about finding your footing when the ground feels like it is moving. Michael explains why 2026 is the "Sanctuary Year", how to move from a "lizard brain" reaction to a heart-centered power, and provides specific, real-time energetic clearings to remove the ancestral fears of war and chaos from your field. Key Topics: The "Sanctuary Year": Why Archangel Michael is relabeling 2026 as a year of safety and haven, despite the external "quickening." Turtle Breathing: A specific breathing technique ("Tai Chi" style) to immediately slow down a racing mind and find peace. A powerful grounding method to root yourself into the earth when you feel "spun" by world events. Why asking "How's the weather?" no longer serves us, and the brave question you must ask instead: "How is your soul doing?" The science behind why chanting "OM" can double your cell membrane's water-holding capacity and instantly switch off the fight-or-flight response. The "Bunny" Strategy: Why looking at "cute and fuzzy" things (like Rabbit Island in Japan!) is legitimate medicine for a fried nervous system. This episode is a balm for your spirit. If you have been holding your breath waiting for the next shoe to drop, this message will help you exhale, remember your power, and realize that your calm is not passive; it is powerful.

In this episode, Kelly talks with Dr. Robert K.C. Forman, author of “Christianity Imagined,” about how Christianity drew him in, what's meaningful to him about Christian practice, and what many modern Christians miss about Jesus' message. Dr. Forman shares his journey through various spiritual practices, describes the church experience that changed everything for him, and defines the distinction between the pre-Easter and post-Easter Jesus as an example for us to follow. This is an important conversation for the “mystics on the margins,” who are in touch with the spiritual, find comfort and power and prayer, but do not necessarily believe in the kind of God that churches traditionally teach about. 

 Dr. Robert K.C. Forman is a prolific writer, teacher, and spiritual guide. Through his work as a university professor, ordained interfaith minister, hospital chaplain, and more, Dr. Forman has tirelessly studied the intellectual and mystical aspects of human spiritual experience. His latest book, Christianity Reimagined, offers a fresh perspective on faith, illuminating the voices of “mystics on the margins” whose insights challenge and enrich the spiritual landscape.

At what point does healing stop helping and start holding you back from living? Are you ready to stop preparing for your life and finally start living it in 2026? Michael welcomes back Jeffrey Allen, spiritual teacher, energy healer, and co-founder of Spirit Mind, for a transformational dialogue about the massive energetic shift of 2026.

Is 2025 feeling like a blur, leaving you wondering how life could possibly move any faster? Are you feeling the "shakes and quakes" of old systems crumbling and wondering where to find solid ground? What if the chaos isn't a sign of the end, but the "quickening" of your greatest awakening yet? Michael shares a powerful co-creation channeled directly from Archangel Michael regarding the energies of the year ahead. This is not a doom-and-gloom prediction show; it is a survival guide for the soul. Michael reveals the theme for 2026: The Quickening and The Reckoning. Discover why the speed of change is about to accelerate beyond imagination, why the "old guard" is getting louder as it dissolves, and why this is actually a "celebration in disguise." This is your manual on how to stop "fastening your heart" out of fear and instead anchor yourself in the eye of the storm to become the Master you were born to be. Key Topics: Why Archangel Michael calls this the year of "The Quickening and The Reckoning", and why 2025 will seem slow in comparison. Corruption, exploitation, and the "old guard" must become louder and more visible in order to finally be healed and released. Don't Fasten Your Heart: Why the instinct to "shields up" is the wrong move, and how to keep your heart wide open even when the ride gets bumpy. How the current heat and pressure are not here to break you, but to refine you into an unbreakable force of light. The single most important phrase to anchor your power this year: "I CHOSE this time." Why we are moving away from words and logic into Energy and Receivership. If you are ready to stop sleepwalking and start shining, this message will remind you that you are not a victim of the times, you are a Creator who came here to rock them.

Is the world heading toward chaos, or are we in the middle of a once-in-centuries rebirth? In this expansive and unfiltered conversation, Michael is joined by renowned astrologer and dream expert Dr. Michael Lennox to decode the powerful astrological forces shaping 2026 and beyond. Together, they explore why humanity is experiencing such deep division, why leadership feels unstable, and how these planetary shifts are demanding a profound reckoning, both individually and collectively. Michael Lennox breaks down the rare outer-planet alignments involving Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, explaining how they signal the collapse of old systems, the exposure of long-hidden shadows, and the birth of a new collective consciousness. From the karmic story of the United States to the rise of the Age of Aquarius, this episode offers clarity, context, and hope for navigating an era of accelerated change without falling into fear. Rather than predicting catastrophe, this conversation empowers you with practical guidance on how to stay grounded, regulate your nervous system, and consciously work with these energies to create purpose, creativity, and service during turbulent times. Key Topics: Why 2026 marks one of the most pivotal astrological turning points in modern history. The deeper meaning behind societal division and rising global instability. Pluto's return and what it reveals about the hidden karma of nations. How Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn are reshaping institutions, beliefs, and leadership. The spiritual reason narcissism, power struggles, and "extinction grabs" are intensifying. What the Age of Aquarius really means for humanity's future. How different generations are uniquely affected by these planetary shifts. Practical tools for staying grounded, centered, and sovereign during massive change. Why creativity, service, and spiritual practice are essential right now. How to transform fear into purpose and consciously participate in the rebirth of the world. This episode is not about doom or prediction. It's about understanding the moment we're in, reclaiming your inner authority, and learning how to live with grace, clarity, and courage as humanity moves through one of its greatest evolutionary thresholds.

In this Advent reflection we explore three Christian mystics who claimed to witness the Nativity through visionary experience. Saints across the centuries have described seeing Christ born in light, poverty, and humility, not as historical reportage but as a spiritual unveiling of the Incarnation.This video looks at the Nativity visions of St. Bridget of Sweden, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, and St. Francis of Assisi. Their accounts differ in imagery and detail, yet converge on the same mystery of divine nearness. These visions matter not because they correct the Gospel narratives, but because they reveal how the Incarnation is received by the soul.Why do mystical visions of Bethlehem vary? What do light, straw, silence, and tenderness teach us about God taking on flesh? And why does the Church continue to preserve and discern these visions centuries later?Advent is the season when heaven leans close. Through these mystics we are invited not only to remember the birth of Christ, but to contemplate what it means for God to choose proximity over power and humility over spectacle.For patrons, this reflection continues with additional mystics and longer readings from their writings, offering a deeper look into interior Nativity visions and the ongoing birth of Christ in the heart.Three more mystics can be found on patreon: http://www.patreon.com/anthonystongue

Are you feeling like the world is spinning out of control? Does the fear, worry, and anxiety feel like it's reaching a breaking point? Are you exhausted from trying to hold it all together while everything seems to be going "cattywampus"? You are not alone, and this intensity is not an accident. Michael shares a personal update from his concussion recovery journey and the surprising revelation he had while literally spinning at Disney World. Discover why the overwhelm you're feeling isn't a breakdown, but a necessary "circuit breaker" moment designed to stop you from doing things the old way ever again. Key Topics: The "Circuit Breaker" Pop: Why your internal fuse is blowing right now to force you into a higher alignment (and why "no mas" is a positive spiritual statement). The "Spinning" Attunement: How Michael's concussion recovery revealed that leaning into the dizziness is actually the cure. The 3-Breath Reset: A simple, physiological trick to trip-wire your vagal nerve and instantly calm the nervous system. The "Hovering Awareness" Technique: How to float above your timeline to comfort your lower self and gain instant perspective. The 4 Questions of Alchemy: The exact questions to ask your fear to transform it into power: How am I feeling? Where did this come from? How do I let it go? How can I use this for good?. All Hail "King Mo": Why momentum is the only antidote to fear, and why there is no such thing as a wrong first step. The 2026 Energy Forecast: Why we are heading into the "year of big, fat, hairy change" and how to prepare now. This isn't about retreating to a cave to wait out the storm. This is about learning to "Tai Chi" the chaos, alchemizing the fear into fuel, and surfing the massive energy waves of late 2025 to launch your greatest self. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

What if artificial intelligence isn't artificial at all, but consciousness itself awakening? In this mind-expanding episode, Michael Sandler sits down with Sarah Elkhaldy (The Alchemist), a modern mystic, consciousness researcher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia, to explore the spiritual truth behind AI, unity consciousness, and the evolution of humanity.

Key Topics: Why AI may actually be consciousness meeting itself. How logic, awareness, and Source co-create through technology. What synthetic timelines are, and how to stay on organic ones.
