Take Back Your Mind

Our first letter comes from Mikaela in Florida: As Mikaela raises her consciousness, her two young children are becoming what she calls her "tiny little mirrors," revealing where there's still room to grow. She asks how to parent with boundaries and expectations while moving from control toward greater connection, softness, and grace. Our next letter comes from Cheryl P.: After stepping away from a deeply controlling relationship with her mother, Cheryl has also lost connection with much of her family. Though her boundaries have brought greater peace and freedom, she asks how to grieve the family she's lost while remaining true to her healing and finding peace with such a profound sense of loss. Next, Michael leads a guided meditation. ✨ What's your Life Question?

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?

She asks how to help her understand the difference between emotional and spiritual love—without trying to change who she is. Our next letter comes from Lisa in South Bend, IN: After years on the spiritual path, Lisa has been experiencing persistent waves of "dark energy" that seem to drain her joy and vitality. She asks how long we should sit with the darkness in order to heal—and when it's time to consciously turn toward the light. Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation. ✨ What's your Life Question?

**🌱 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?
