Description

Mark Szymczak: Sedona Quantum Consciousness: Prayer, Breath & the Quantum Field  


What happens when an engineer, mystic, and biohacker all live in the same body? You get Mark Szymczak, founder of the Sedona Quantum Consciousness Center, ancestral health advocate, and guide into the quantum field of prayer, intention, and joy.



In this episode of Awaken Your Purpose, Mark shares how asthma, family challenges, and a career in engineering sales eventually led him to Sedona, where he now runs Sedona Quantum Consciousness, Desert Rose, and Canyon Rose retreat spaces. With more than 15,000 hours of meditation and prayer, a Master’s in Applied Breathing Sciences, and deep training in biofeedback and neurofeedback, Mark bridges spiritual practice with nervous-system literacy and real-world community building.


From his daily 9 p.m. universal prayer practice to Mission Mondays, Frequency Fridays, and his simple but potent advice - “breathe through your nose” - Mark shows how prayer, breath, and ancestral health habits can reset our dopamine, calm our nervous systems, and tune us into purpose.


If you’ve ever wondered how to access the quantum field, live more often in joy, and turn your struggles into fuel for service, this conversation is for you.
