The Mind, Body, Energy Experience Podcast SaMut Angela Scott/MamaYogaWellness Seeking to inspire healthy living, spiritual connectedness and the use of skills and practices that balance personal power, radiance and magnetism Pathways To Surrender Michael Warmuth Surrender to our authentic self is one of the primary goals of spiritual practice and a key aspect of human evolution and awakening. These guided meditations cover a wide range of spiritual topics and human issues, but always gently guide and remind the listener to let go of that which is not true and surrender to the higher truth within them. These guided meditations, led by Michael Warmuth, originate from a higher source, a place of deep connectedness and a more unified state of mind. They speak both to the conscious mind and to that deeper awareness within each one of us. Visit pathwaystosurrender.com for more information about these meditations. Sister Science Stories Jill Novak The Sister Science Podcast is a place where we talk about that sacred mind.body.spirit connection and how we can practice that in our day to day lives. We discuss lifestyle choices, mindset, patterns and beliefs. Creating a place where acknowledging our connectedness to each other, nature, and the divine is normalized and lived. We honour being deeply supported, confident, and in-tune with our our own remarkable wisdom. We promote taking radical responsibility for how you move, sleep, eat, and manage energy. Learning to trust in your intuition and the sacred mind-body-spirit connection as you embark on a transformational, healing journey.We talk about how there is an ebb and flow to our ability to do this. The challenges that set us back, the fear that creeps in as we learn to be in the uncomfortable space of learning, figuring it out, trusting ourselves in a new way.
