  Manifest What You Believe with Gabrielle Bernstein 16.09.2026 57min

  Press play for a powerful conversation on why manifestation begins with healing—and how spiritual practice helps us return to the worthiness, guidance, and inner alignment already within us. Today, Michael welcomes Gabrielle Bernstein. Gabby is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, spiritual teacher, speaker, and host of the Dear Gabby podcast. For nearly two decades, she has helped millions deepen their spiritual connection through books including Self Help, The Universe Has Your Back, and Super Attractor. Recognized by The New York Times as a model for a new generation of spiritual seekers, Gabrielle brings together practical self-help, spirituality, and personal healing to help people live with greater faith, embodiment, and inner freedom. Conversation Highlights Include: -Why spiritual practice is not a one-time achievement, but a moment-to-moment way of living that strengthens faith, presence, and connection. -How technology, constant feedback loops, and the addiction to scrolling can interrupt our frequency and deepen the feeling of disconnection. -Michael's reminder to "touch your soul before you scroll," and why beginning the day with spiritual practice can shift the entire atmosphere of your life. -Why information alone does not heal, and how true transformation requires practice, embodiment, and the energy behind the words. -A conversation on protector parts, inner wounds, and how patterns like control, perfectionism, rage, or addiction may be trying to keep us safe. -Gabrielle's four-step practice from Self Help for checking inside, getting curious, creating compassionate connection, and returning to the energy of Self. -Why manifestation cannot bypass healing, and how worthiness, self-love, and inner alignment make it possible to sustain what we are calling into our lives. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on waking up to your glorious nature, becoming present with your intention, and moving through the world as a sovereign being. 🪷 Connect with Gabrielle at https://gabbybernstein.com/ and across social media.  Watch her podcast, Dear Gabby, on her YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/@gabriellebernstein. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Raising Conscious Kids Through Connection, Not Control with Dr. Shefali 09.09.2026 1t

  **🌱 Inspired by this conversation? Join us this Sunday, September 13 at Agape as Michael, Dr. Shefali, and special guests continue the dialogue on Raising Conscious Children in The Digital Era. Reserve your seat: https://donate.agapelive.com/an-afternoon-with-dr-shefali *** What if the real work of parenting isn't raising perfect children, but allowing our children to awaken the parts of us still waiting to heal? Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Shefali,  a New York Times bestselling author, clinical psychologist, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement, widely known as Oprah's Favorite Parenting Expert. Trained at Columbia University, she integrates Western psychology and Eastern philosophy to help parents and individuals break free from unconscious patterns and live with greater presence, authenticity, and connection. Her newest books, Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons, offer a timely blueprint for raising emotionally grounded, resilient children in today's anxious world. Note: This episode contains some explicit language. Conversation Highlights include: -Why parents don't need to chase perfection, and how guilt can become another form of self-focus that keeps us from true growth. -How children reveal the unconscious patterns, wounds, and reactions that adults may never see until parenting brings them to the surface. -The difference between raising children through control and raising them through connection, presence, emotional safety, and inner work. -Why today's digital world has created new pressures for children, from social media comparison to online isolation, beauty pressure, gaming, and distorted ideas of masculinity. -How parents still have power in the middle of technological overwhelm by choosing healing, presence, and conscious engagement instead of outsourcing their influence. -Why boys need movement, purpose, physical expression, and healthy initiation into their energy rather than being forced into silence or disconnection. -How girls need space to practice their voice, self-trust, authenticity, and strength before taking that confidence into the wider world. Michael then closes the episode with a guided meditation on beginning again, receiving the blessing already present, and anchoring Heaven on Earth through intention, gratitude, and inner stillness. 🪷 Join us online or in person at Agape on September 13 for Raising Conscious Children in The Digital Era—in-person tickets include a copy of either or both books: https://donate.agapelive.com/an-afternoon-with-dr-shefali Explore Dr. Shefali's current book tour dates in other cities, her courses, podcast, and offerings here:  https://www.drshefali.com/ and follow her across social media. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  From Sacred Silence to Real Thinking—Your Unfoldment with Michael B. Beckwith 02.09.2026 1t 1min

  *** 🌱 Join Michael, Dr. Shefali & special guests for a powerful conversation on Raising Conscious Children in the Digital Era—September 13 at Agape! Reserve Your Seat: https://donate.agapelive.com/an-afternoon-with-dr-shefali ***  Season 3 begins with a powerful invitation: stop rehearsing old thoughts and start receiving Real inspiration! In this solo episode, Michael explores the difference between "thinkingness" and Real Thinking—the difference between conditioned mental patterns, and inspiration that arises from Sacred Silence.  Much of what we call thinking is actually inherited thought, repetitive belief, fear, doubt, and perception moving through awareness. Real thinking, however, is sourced from the Presence that is never an absence. Through teachings on fertile consciousness, soulful artistry, excellence, meditation, and intention without attachment, Michael invites listeners to break free from inner prisons of belief and become available to inspiration, realization, and the unfolding of their True Nature. Highlights Include: -Why much of what people call thinking is actually "thinkingness"—conditioned thought forms, inherited beliefs, doubts, worries, and perceptions moving on repeat. -How prayer, meditation, Life VisioningTM, affirmations, and spiritual practice are not about begging for a blessing, but stepping into the realization of what is already within you. -A powerful teaching on fertile consciousness and how gratitude, love, appreciation, worthiness, joy, and dynamic peace become the inner soil where new possibilities unfold. -The distinction between feeling and emotion, and why a true feeling-tone arises from connection with Source rather than from old thought patterns with energy behind them. -Why every person carries a unique soul signature and cannot reveal their gifts by comparing themselves to someone else's path. -How Real thinking arrives as inspiration, capturing you with an idea, insight, or creative impulse that comes from beyond conditioned mental activity. -A reminder that excellence can be practiced in any circumstance, from ordinary daily tasks to professional life, friendship, service, and contribution. -Why sacred silence is not filler or escape, but a way of touching base with the sacred and becoming available to guidance, wisdom, and unfoldment. -The ocean analogy that helps distinguish between consciousness itself and the temporary content moving through awareness. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on sacred silence, intention, awakening to your glorious nature, and learning to witness what passes through awareness. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Consciousness First with Michael B. Beckwith 24.06.2026 52min

  In this Season 2 final episode before our summer break, Michael explores what it means to live Consciousness First — to recognize that true transformation begins not by changing outer circumstances, but by shifting where we are living from within. He teaches that we are not our thoughts, emotions, or conditions, but the awareness in which they arise. Through reflections on intention, perception, Divine intelligence, and the power of living from inner guidance, Michael invites listeners to remember that Consciousness is the starting point of a meaningful, intentional life. This episode is a reminder to stop being driven by external demands, reconnect with the Presence within, and live with the essential question: What does Life want to express or become as me?   New Season Starts September 2nd! Highlights Include: -Why "Consciousness First" means remembering that your real identity is awareness itself, not the thoughts, emotions, or beliefs moving through you. -How changing your consciousness begins with clearing the inner film of inherited beliefs, social conditioning, fear, superstition, and old perceptions. -The importance of living intentionally instead of letting circumstances, media, emotional contagion, or external noise decide where your attention goes. -A powerful ocean analogy that helps distinguish between consciousness itself and the temporary content passing through your awareness. -How awakening begins the moment you realize you are not the thought, opinion, belief, or emotional state moving through your mind. -Why God consciousness is not about becoming religious, but becoming increasingly aware of the vast presence moving in, through, and as you. -How perception determines experience, and why spiritual practice helps clean up perception so you can see life from a higher awareness. -A teaching on the strange attractor field, the future self, and the greater version of life that is always calling you into fuller expression. -Why emotions are not the arbiters of truth, and how attitude, character, and willingness shape destiny more powerfully than karma or circumstance. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on smiling inwardly, realizing Oneness, awakening to your True identity, and allowing consciousness to transform the content of your life. ✨ What's your Life Question?

She asks how to build genuine spiritual confidence—and trust her own worth—in a world that often measures value through status, race, and hierarchy. Our next letter comes from Christie L. in Northern California: Christie is holding a vision of justice for a loved one caught in a painful legal battle, but as time passes, doubt and impatience creep in. She asks how to trust the vision without feeling naïve—and whether true faith means holding steady even when circumstances suggest otherwise.

  The Anatomy of Awakening with Dr. Sue Morter 17.06.2026 1t 15min

  Join Michael at his Mt. Shasta Summer Retreat, July 30 - August 2! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/mt-shasta-summer-retreat/.  Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Sue Morter.  Sue is an internationally acclaimed speaker, Master of Bioenergetic Medicine, and thought leader bridging science, spirituality, and human potential. As the founder and CEO of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, she teaches how to reprogram the body's electromagnetic energy flow through embodiment, self-healing, and higher consciousness. Her latest book, The Anatomy of Awakening, explores the hidden codes that help unlock the truth of who we are and live from our divine destiny.  Conversation Highlights Include: -Why awakening is not about fixing yourself, but remembering the divine wholeness that has always been who you truly are. -How embodiment shifts spiritual practice from trying to leave the body into fully inhabiting life with presence, clarity, and purpose. -A deeper look at the "God body" as the energetic bridge between the physical self and the higher consciousness we are learning to embody. -The importance of rewriting your identity so you stop seeing yourself as separate from Source and begin living as an expression of it. -How the body uses sensations, tightness, emotion, and energy to guide you back toward the parts of yourself that need awareness and integration. -Why spiritual practice is not meant to be an escape from life, but a way to bring your true self into relationships, family, work, and the world. -How bringing attention back into the body helps reclaim energy, soften old protective patterns, and expand your capacity to live authentically. -A powerful reframing of Love as the organizing force of the Cosmos, not just an emotion exchanged between people. -Why heaviness, sadness, anxiety, or fear can become doorways into healing when you follow them inward with breath, presence, and compassion. Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on the inward smile, gratitude, divine identity, and remembering that everything you need is already within you. 🪷 Connect with Sue, get her social media links, and purchase The Anatomy of Awakening at her website: https://drsuemorter.com/. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Build a Joyful Mindset Now with Dr. Paul Conti 10.06.2026 1t 2min

  Join Michael at his Mt. Shasta Summer Retreat, July 30 - August 2! Sign up by June 14 to receive Early Bird Savings! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/mt-shasta-summer-retreat/  Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Paul Conti. Dr. Paul Conti is a celebrity-endorsed psychiatrist, renowned author, and President of Pacific Premier Group PC, a comprehensive mental health clinic providing therapy, coaching, and consulting services to individuals, families, and businesses in the United States and abroad. He has been featured on leading podcasts with hosts including Tim Ferriss, Andrew Huberman, and Mel Robbins. In his latest book, What's Going Right , Dr. Conti offers a paradigm-shifting approach to mental health, highlighting the brain's "generative drive"—the innate force that fuels creativity, connection, purpose, and resilience. Rather than focusing on what's wrong, he provides practical tools for cultivating peace, contentment, emotional well-being, and ultimately, a more joyful life. Conversation Highlights include: -Mental health is not a matter of being either healthy or broken, but an ongoing practice that requires the same care, attention, and maintenance as physical health. -A powerful shift in perspective reveals how focusing exclusively on "what's wrong" creates blind spots, while beginning with "what's going right" opens the door to honest self-awareness and lasting change. -An exploration of the three core human drives—assertion, pleasure, and the generative drive—and why creating goodness, meaning, and contribution is essential for a fulfilling life. -The importance of approaching yourself with compassionate curiosity rather than shame, criticism, or fear when uncovering patterns that no longer serve your well-being. -Why cynicism often develops as protection against disappointment, yet ultimately blocks connection, joy, trust, and the ability to recognize goodness in life. -A practical framework for understanding the structure and function of self, offering a roadmap for personal growth, emotional healing, and greater resilience. -A discussion on meditation as a pathway to mental clarity, emotional regulation, inner peace, and a healthier relationship with your thoughts. -Insight into how recurring challenges—especially in relationships—can reveal unconscious patterns that become opportunities for deeper self-understanding and transformation. -The concept of life narrative and how many people unconsciously define themselves by failures and disappointments while overlooking their resilience, strength, and successes. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation centered on empowering questions that activate possibility, shift perception, and invite the mind to discover evidence of abundance, health, and goodness. 🪷 Get your copy of Dr. Conti's book, What's Going Right?, at https://drpaulconti.com/ and learn more about his practice at https://pacificpremiergroup.com/.  ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Life Question of the Week, 6.5.26 05.06.2026 20min

  Today, our first letter comes from Heather B.: After years on a spiritual path, Heather feels drawn back to the teachings of Jesus and the Bible in a deeply meaningful way. She asks how to embrace her love for Christ while still honoring the Truth and divinity she sees present in many spiritual traditions. Our next letter comes from Lara: Lara wonders about the nature of Oneness, spirit guides, and the soul's journey. As she comforts wounded parts of herself, she asks whether we are, in some sense, our own guides—or if loving spiritual support also exists beyond us. Next, Michael leads a guided meditation.  ✨ What's your Life Question? Have questions about your relationships, finances, life purpose, or how to understand  world events through a spiritual lens?

  Come Home to Your Body with Master Mingtong Gu 03.06.2026 1t 8min

  In this episode, Michael welcomes Master Mingtong Gu. Master Mingtong Gu is an internationally recognized teacher of Wisdom Healing Qigong, founder of the Chi Center and the Wisdom Healing Qigong community, and a leading voice in energy healing, mind-body medicine, and embodied spiritual awakening. Drawing from ancient Chinese healing traditions and decades of personal practice, his work helps people reconnect with the body as a source of healing, consciousness, resilience, and transformation. His latest book, Coming Home to Embodied Awakening, explores how returning to the body restores wholeness, inner peace, and human connection in an age of distraction and AI.  Conversation Highlights Include: -A powerful exploration of how modern life keeps people trapped in the mind, disconnected from the body, and separated from their deeper humanity. -Why so much suffering comes from living externally—searching for love, peace, fulfillment, and healing outside ourselves instead of within. -An honest conversation about embodiment as the practice of returning to the body again and again, especially in an age of distraction, technology, and AI. -How healing begins when people stop resisting what they feel internally and start meeting the body with compassion, presence, and awareness. -A profound reframe of the body not as a machine, object, or "rental vehicle," but as a sacred expression of life itself. -What happens emotionally and spiritually when people reconnect with their bodies and begin to experience groundedness, wholeness, self-love, and inner peace. -A beautiful reflection on meditating in the middle of Times Square and discovering stillness, presence, and sacredness within chaos and noise. -The story of a childhood near-death experience, forgotten trauma, asthma, and the realization that the body remembers what the mind forgets. -Why healing is not linear, but a spiral of awareness, growth, detoxification, and returning to deeper levels of Truth and consciousness. -A practical framework for transformation through acceptance, activation, and appreciation—moving from inner contraction into embodiment, empowerment, and gratitude. Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on presence, observation, embodiment, sacred silence, and anchoring  Heaven on Earth through awareness. 🪷 Deepen your practice with Master Mingtong Gu's bestselling book Coming Home to Embodied Awakening , and receive a free bonus collection of teaching videos when you order at https://chicenter.pages.ontraport.net/t?orid=272899&opid=4. Follow Master Mingtong here https://mingtonggu.com/ and across social media. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Our first letter comes from Beu: After the birth of her daughter, Beu found herself trapped in survival mode as stress, exhaustion, and relationship strain overwhelmed her nervous system. Now that the relationship has ended, she asks how to discern whether it truly ran its course—or whether fear and postpartum survival shaped the outcome. Our next letter comes from Lori H. in Canada: Despite years of meditation and inner work, Lori feels shaken by the suffering and injustice she sees in the world. She asks how to stay rooted in love, hope, and spiritual clarity without becoming consumed by anger, helplessness, or despair. Next, Michael leads a guided meditation. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Radical Self Love & Liberation with Oneika Mays 27.05.2026 1t

  Today, Michael speaks with Oneika Mays. Oneika is a meditation teacher, yoga practitioner, and writer whose work centers on mindfulness, loving kindness, and compassionate living. After leaving a successful career in retail leadership following profound personal loss and transformation, she spent more than a decade bringing meditation and healing practices into spaces often overlooked—working with individuals and communities who have felt judged, forgotten, or alone, leading her to working on Rikers Island with incarcerated individuals. Her book, Sit With Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation, explores grief, self-compassion, unconditional friendliness, and the courage it takes to truly face yourself. Conversation Highlights Include: -How profound loss, career upheaval, and a canceled wedding became the catalyst for a completely different way of living. -Choosing discomfort and transformation over staying trapped in a life that no longer felt aligned or authentic. -A deeply honest reflection on grief, and learning to hold sadness and joy at the same time without denying either experience. -Why asking better questions creates expansion, self-awareness, and curiosity instead of emotional shutdown and certainty. -An invitation to "sit with yourself" by meeting discomfort, shame, fear, and uncertainty with tenderness instead of avoidance. -How real freedom often begins in the moments we stop running from difficult emotions and allow ourselves to fully feel them. -A powerful conversation about loving people you may never agree with, like, or understand, while still recognizing their humanity. -What more than a decade of teaching meditation inside Rikers Island revealed about judgment, compassion, trauma, and human connection. -An honest look at prison systems, accountability, restorative healing, and why true transformation requires support beyond punishment. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on introspection, remembering your True nature, awakening to Divine Presence, and living from expanded awareness. 🪷 Follow Oneika and get a copy of her book, Sit With Me, here:  https://www.oneikamays.com/ and across social media. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Malcolm in the Desert: A Spiritual Awakening with Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz 20.05.2026 49min

  Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz. Ilyasah is an award-winning author, educator, and social impact leader dedicated to advancing the legacy of her parents, Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, through literature, public scholarship, and community leadership. She serves as Chairperson of the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center and teaches at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Worcester State University. Ilyasah is the author of several acclaimed books, including Growing Up X and X: A Novel, and her latest release, Malcolm in the Desert: Wisdom from the Spiritual Transformation of Malcolm X, which explores her father's spiritual evolution, pilgrimage to Mecca, and enduring message of compassion, consciousness, and liberation. Conversation Highlights Include: -Why this moment in history called for a deeper exploration of Malcolm X's spiritual transformation, compassion, and evolving understanding of humanity. -A powerful reframe of Malcolm X not only as a revolutionary leader, but as a deeply spiritual seeker whose activism was rooted in love and moral courage. -How Malcolm's pilgrimage to Mecca expanded an already compassionate heart and transformed the way humanity, race, and liberation were understood. -An inspiring reflection on Dr. Betty Shabazz and the strength, resilience, and devotion it took to raise six daughters after an unimaginable personal loss. -A conversation about pilgrimage not simply as travel, but as an inner journey of slowing down, asking deeper questions, and remembering who we truly are. -How sacred disruption often arrives through grief, uncertainty, divorce, loss, or major life transitions that force us to grow beyond the familiar. -A moving exploration of grief as a messenger that strips away the illusion of control and invites surrender, healing, and transformation. -An honest conversation about surrender as a practice of deep listening that helps people stop resisting reality and begin evolving through it. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on self-examination, awakening from unconscious living, reconnecting with your True nature, and living with spiritual intention. Please note: This episode was recorded prior to Ilyasah's book's release; the launch event mentioned has since taken place, coinciding with a special celebration honoring her father's legacy. 🪷 Connect with Ilyasah here - https://www.ilyasahshabazz.com/ and across social media.  Malcolm in the Desert is available everywhere books are sold. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Today, our first letter comes from Meagan: Meagan resonates deeply with oneness and embodied experience, but struggles with traditional ideas of "spirit" and individual identity after death. She asks whether her understanding is missing something—or if Spirit is something far more expansive than a separate self. Our next letter comes from Crystal: After being kept from her husband in his final days, Crystal is carrying deep anger, grief, and a sense of betrayal. She asks how to truly forgive, release the pain, and reconnect with love—even when the hurt still feels overwhelming. Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World with Barnet Bain 13.05.2026 1t 7min

  Today, Michael welcomes Barnet Bain. Barnet is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and teacher known for exploring themes of spirituality, consciousness, creativity, and human connection. His film credits include the Oscar-winning What Dreams May Come, Homeless to Harvard, Milton's Secret, and Jesus, one of the most widely viewed films in history. His latest book, How to Be a Friend (in an Unfriendly World), explores friendship as a spiritual practice and a path toward deeper awareness, compassion, and authentic connection. Please scroll down to find out how to receive Barnet's free gift!  Conversation Highlights include: -A powerful exploration of friendship as a spiritual practice that invites awareness, growth, empathy, and emotional maturity. -Why modern culture conditions people to react quickly, dominate conversations, and avoid the discomfort of true understanding. -The importance of slowing down enough to notice emotional reactions, inherited programming, and the stories shaping our relationships. -A breakdown of the "first, second, and third story" of life, and how awakening begins when we move beyond transactional living. -How authentic friendship becomes a portal into self-awareness, compassion, uncertainty, and spiritual evolution. -A conversation about why modern relationships often become transactional, performative, or rooted in personal validation rather than connection. -Why we can only love others to the degree that we have learned to love and understand ourselves. -A beautiful reflection on honoring another person by allowing yourself to be changed through the relationship rather than trying to control them. -Why deep listening, presence, empathy, and civility are disappearing from modern culture—and how reclaiming them transforms human connection. Finally, a closing meditation guided by Michael to help you return to stillness and awaken to your True nature. 🪷 Explore Barnet's work and his films, get your copy of his book, and receive a Free copy of The Friendship Field Guide, the mini-companion to How to Be a Friend (in an Unfriendly World) with short practical ways to strengthen your connections and bring more kindness into everyday life at https://barnetbain.com/. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Life Question of the Week, 5.8.26 08.05.2026 36min

  Today, our first letter comes from R. Lon in Grandville, MI: R. Lon reflects on how much of his growth has come through struggle and asks: is suffering necessary for transformation? He's seeking a way to guide others toward growth without glorifying pain—and a grounding practice to navigate life's hardest seasons. Our next letter comes from Darla: Darla has always believed in a loving, all-encompassing God—but recent conversations and a startling personal experience have left her questioning the nature of evil. She asks for clarity on whether "demonic" forces are real, or simply expressions of misaligned energy. Next, Michael leads a guided meditation. ✨ What's your Life Question?

  Embody Your Magic with Aycee Brown 06.05.2026 1t 9min

  In this episode, Michael welcomes Aycee Brown. Aycee is a psychic medium, astrologer, spiritual guide, teacher, and the host of the popular podcast Is My Aura On Straight?. Through her work, she helps people break free from inherited identities, trauma patterns, and limiting beliefs so they can live fully expressed, intuitive, and aligned lives. Aycee's book, Embody Your Magic , offers practical tools for healing, self-discovery, and stepping into your true power.  Conversation Highlights Include: -Growing up with intuitive gifts and how early validation created a sense of safety, even when the outside world didn't understand. -A grounded definition of "embodying your magic" as living fully, meaningfully, and making an impact in everyday interactions. -Finding joy, presence, and connection in simple moments, and why those experiences are more powerful than they seem. -Why healing requires action, not just understanding, and how doing the work creates real transformation. -The "canyon" as a metaphor for shadow work, and why going deeper—not avoiding pain—is where true healing begins. -How uncovering your origin story brings clarity, validation, and the ability to finally release what was never yours. -Seeing generational and ancestral patterns as a through line that can be understood, interrupted, and transformed. -Reframing painful experiences in a way that frees you from shame, abandonment, and inherited emotional weight. -Understanding intuition as a natural ability that returns as you heal, clear emotional blocks, and reconnect with yourself. -Moving from survival into a life of intention, joy, and expansion by taking small, consistent steps forward. Next, a closing meditation guided by Michael invites stillness, awareness of the breath, and a deeper connection to your True nature. 🪷 Connect with Aycee, listen to her podcast, and get her book, Embody Your Magic, here: https://www.ayceebrown.com/ and on socials. ✨ What's your Life Question?
