Today, Michael welcomes back Kimberly Snyder. Kimberly is a 3-time New York Times best-selling author, holistic wellness expert and nutritionist, international speaker, and meditation teacher. She is the founder of Solluna, a holistic lifestyle brand that offers supplements, meditations, courses, and the HeartAlign System and Meditation, and hosts the top-rated “Feel Good Podcast,” which covers all aspects of holistic wellness.

Her latest book, out now, is The Hidden Power of the Five Hearts: Empower Your Thoughts, Balance Your Emotions, and Unlock Vibrant Health and Abundance.

Brief highlights from Kimberly and Michael’s conversation include:

–What the Five Hearts are–the Dark Heart, the Propelled Heart, the Steady Heart, the Devoted Heart, and the Clear Heart–and why they’re important

–How our Heart Intelligence and Heart Coherence affect our physical health, energy, vitality, emotional well-being, abundance, and success

–Why the heart is the “second brain” (or perhaps the ‘first brain’) and the science behind that

–The maladaptive ways society has taught us to cope with stress and why it’s unnatural for us to be so stressed all of the time

–Kimberly’s work with the HeartMath Institute and how it changed her life; the research and tools Kimberly’s book offers to anchor us through the big emotions quickly; the HeartAlign Meditation Kimberly leads us through—and a lot more!

Next, Michael concludes with a brief guided meditation.

Today, Michael welcomes certified intuitive healer, Akashic Records Practitioner and Teacher, and transformation expert, Dr. Josephine Hardman. In 2017, Josephine left a successful career in academia teaching English Literature to do spiritual work full-time. Her life's mission is to help healers, coaches, and spiritual practitioners heal themselves so they can do their most aligned, most impactful, highest-level work with their clients.

Josephine uses a range of tools including deep self-inquiry, Psychosynthesis, Matrix Energetics, and—primarily—the Akashic Records. She also hosts the weekly podcast “Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast” in which Michael was a guest.

Highlights from Michael and Josephine’s deep-dive conversation include:

-Josephine’s career transition and decision to follow her soul's calling to do spiritual work full-time, and the challenges she had along the way

-What the Akashic Records are, how anyone access them, and how they support the healing and evolution of individuals and humanity as a whole

-How Josephine uses the Akashic Records in her life and for her business, and how working with them can benefit teams and groups like staff employees, organizations, and even countries

-Josephine’s Inner Work Podcast; her free Akashic Records Mini Course (see link below); and so, so much more!

Next, Michael leads a brief guided meditation.

Today, Michael welcomes Henry Shukman. Henry is a poet, author, Zen master in the Sanbo Zen lineage, and is the Spiritual Director Emeritus of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His new book, “Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening,” about his unique approach to the path of meditation and spiritual awakening, is out now. Henry also created “The Way,” a new, first-of-its-kind meditation app that offers a single, long-term path into the deep end of meditation.

Highlights from their conversation include:

-Henry’s childhood growing up in a climate of secrecy then learning later that his parents were Cold War spies

-How Zen meditation allowed Henry to transcend his pain, trauma, and depression and regularly access a profound sense of oneness and love

-How awakenings from meditation don’t always come as some “big cosmic phenomena,” but rather in small shifts that happen over time until you realize you’ve grown and healed

-Henry’s recent bicycle accident and concussion that made him focus more on his heart because “being in his head” literally hurt too much, and how staying open-hearted is the way to being whole-hearted

-The powerful effect of community on healing; the main tenets of his new book, “Original Love” and the ‘Four Inns’ of awakening; his highly-rated new meditation app, The Way; and a whole lot more!

Next, Michael concludes with a brief guided meditation.

Today, Michael speaks with Seano (pronounced “Seen-oh”) McFarland, a renowned therapist and coach specializing in the treatment of chemical addiction, trauma, sex, and love addiction.

He is the CEO of Shell Avenue Venice in Venice, California, a community spiritual hub and residential program. His clients range from top executives, celebrities, iconic change agents, and athletes to gangbangers and parents who struggle with their children’s addiction and everything in between. His podcast, The Seano Show, invites listeners to be a fly on the wall during intimate conversations surrounding recovery.

Conversation highlights include:

-How the traumatic effects of Seano’s abduction, torture, and being used for child pornography at age 12 led to his addiction and drug trafficking, and how he ultimately transcended that and became sober 37 years ago

-Why self-forgiveness is essential in the journey of healing from addiction

-Seano’s founding of Shell Avenue Venice, which he created as a ‘mix of Motown and San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury Free Clinic’ and has a “no shame and no blame in our game” vibe

-The daily practices and rituals both Seano and Michael do to “Take Back” their minds

-Seano’s work and relationship with Mike Tyson, genocide survivors in Rwanda, child soldiers in northern Uganda, and much, much more.

Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on waking up to your Super Soulful Self.
