Our first Life Question comes from Sabina. Sabina keeps forming meaningful, platonic friendships with men, only to discover they want romance or sex, leaving her feeling blindsided and grieving the friendship. How do you navigate friendships with men when you value connection—but they want more? Our next Life Question comes from Les, who notices his mind defaults to negative stories—worry, conflict, and worst-case scenarios—and he's tired of living in that mental weather. How can he "take back" his thoughts, slow the spinning, and cultivate a more consistently positive mindset? Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation with an intention on gratitude and releasing negative thoughts.  🪷 Begin your year in higher consciousness.

Today on Take Back Your Mind, Michael Beckwith welcomes Jeffrey Allen—spiritual thought leader, Mindvalley author and speaker, and a pioneer of online energy training. Known for practical, powerful **energy healing** tools, Jeffrey's mission is to make **higher consciousness** accessible so we can release conflict and pain and live with passion, purpose, and meaning. Through Mindvalley, he's introduced over a million people to personal energy work that improves relationships, deepens spiritual connection, and boosts presence, happiness, and impact.

See below for Jeffrey's Free Gift for Take Back Your Mind listeners!  Conversation Highlights include: * Jeffrey's origin story—from math/CS and shared lucid dreams to a purpose-driven path in **energy healing** and service  * The simple model of **two minds** (material vs. spirit) and how asking "which mind?" changes reactions, choices, and outcomes  * "Code = energy": how **beliefs** set rules for reality, why clarity of desire matters, and working the subtle layer first (manifesting 101)  * Spotting **spiritual ego** and quiet judgment—then replacing them with compassion for past versions of yourself and others  * The **Breath of Love** micro-practice: use the natural pause at the top/bottom of the breath to access timeless, peaceful awareness * Inside **Awakening Your Spirit Mind**: tools and community for stabilizing spirit-led living amid the planet's energy shift; and more!  Finally, Michael closes with a **guided meditation** to "wake up to your glorious nature," integrate love into action, and carry that frequency into your day. 🪷 Get Jeffrey's Free Gift, "Five Days to Calm Your Mind and Meet Your Spirit" course, here:  https://www.spiritmind.com/a/2148202101/daUxDwii.

Our first Life Question comes from Jade in Alexandria, VA: After years of suppressing childhood pain, Jade is now confronting the truth about her father's long-standing dysfunction—infidelity, alcoholism, and a toxic blended family. She wants to have a healthy relationship only with him, but how can she navigate authenticity, boundaries, and spiritual growth when family pressure runs deep? Next, Shay wonders whether it's possible to feel both genuine gratitude and genuine dislike at the same time—especially when her new home, while a blessing, also triggers feelings of lack because it wasn't the house she truly wanted. Does her mixed emotions sabotage her spiritual practice? Finally, Michael leads a meditation on focusing on the Real and Eternal You that is untouched by time and the human experience. ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind? This podcast grows through your support.

Today, Michael welcomes Garry Lineham, co-founder of Human Garage, a global movement empowering people to restore health and alignment through self-directed healing. A former data encryption expert, Garry transitioned from designing secure communication systems to decoding the body's own network of fascia, discovering parallels between digital systems and human biomechanics. His groundbreaking approach, Fascial Maneuvers, integrates breath, movement, and intention to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and realign the body. With over 200,000 realignment sessions worldwide and more than 40 million practitioners globally, Garry's work bridges technology, AI, and human potential, positioning the body as the most advanced self-healing system on the planet. Join Michael and Garry for the 28-Day Global Reset! Get the details here: https://humangarage.net/agape.  Conversation highlights include: * A clear upgrade from the "animal model" of the body to fascia as a structural + signaling network for real-world healing  * How Garry's path—from data encryption to Human Garage—led to decoding the body like a network * The cost of chasing symptoms (even after $2.5M spent) vs. changing the model and methods * Why fascia behaves like a crystalline matrix that organizes posture, breath, and nervous-system coherence * Pain as guidance (not the enemy) and why numbing creates a two-year relapse loop * A daily fascia-maneuver sequence that compounds results and returns sovereignty over health * "Issues in the tissues": how stored emotions/trauma unwind over 18–24 months, unlocking latent capacities * The role of minerals & hydration in signal quality (RO water concerns, 102-mineral approach, tissue hydration) * The free 15-Minute Stress Reset (rib/diaphragm opening) that can release ~75% stress quickly Next, Michael leads a guided meditation to "tune the broadcast" of your day.  🪷 Learn more about Garry and Human Garage* across social media and here: https://humangarage.net/. ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind?

Our first Life Question comes from "MMM" in South Africa who asks a big-picture question at the heart of our show: What exactly are we "taking back" the mind from? Is it conditioning, distorted creativity, or something like The Matrix?  Next, Holly, who's never experienced a moment of feeling safe or loved, wonders how to enter meditations that begin with that visualization. Finally, Michael leads a meditation on coming into a level of coherence around the fundamental harmony of the Universe. ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind? This podcast grows through your support.

Join Michael at his New Year's Meditation Retreat in Costa Rica! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/awaken-to-a-new-year-of-possibility/  Today, Michael welcomes Colette Baron-Reid. Colette is an internationally respected author, artist, educator, spiritual intuitive, medium, and oracle expert. Her best-selling books and oracle cards are published worldwide in 27 languages.

Plus, a "how to doodle your destiny" live demo -Rewiring expectation: your brain looks for what you believe—this is where practical mysticism meets neuroplasticity -Breaking the matrix of fear by radiating compassion where you live and carrying your own "atmosphere" -With practice, joy becomes your baseline—events pass through but your awareness remains steady -Collette's Oracle School: Four-month training using oracle cards for reflection and "next right action" (not prediction)  -Spotlighting *The Art of Manifesting* book with Colette and Anna Denning Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on choosing joy, feeling 'all needs met now,' and giving thanks.  🪷 Catch up with Colette, learn about her Oracle School, and get her new book, The Art of Manifesting, here: https://www.colettebaronreid.com/  ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind?

Bring a Friend, Save $200 @ Michael's New Year's Meditation Retreat in Costa Rica:  https://events.agapelive.com/awaken-to-a-new-year-of-possibility/  After a profound spiritual awakening, Gugu is learning to love her fundamentalist Christian family as they are—yet struggles to comfort them during crises without betraying her own soul's knowing. How can she be truly compassionate when the language of her heart no longer matches their doctrine? Next, Becky wants to believe in God beyond the "man in the sky," but wonders how to pray to "a vibration"—and whether such a Presence can really answer. How can she really know what God is and how to reach It?  Finally, Michael leads a powerful meditation in the sacred silence that leads to inspired thoughts and 'real thinking.' ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind?
