from To Be a Mystic · host Rev. Marcella Velandia Ciccotelli, M. Div, M. A. Ed

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." — Annie DillardWhat happens when we realize our phone is leading our Soul? In this episode, Marcella tells the story of her "wild experiment"—a 100-day journey that started with deleting a favorite app and ended with finding a sacred frequency she didn't know she was missing.If you’ve ever felt "fractured" by the digital glow or noticed your body tightening at the sound of a notification, this conversation is for you. We explore the "Human Experiment" of replacing digital streaks with stillness and how to bring our heart, mind, and body back into sync.In this episode, we discuss:• The Icon Swap: Why Marcella replaced her most addictive app with a meditation tool and what happened 100 days later.• The Science of Soft Fascination: How nature (the "First Bible") physically resets our nervous system and lowers cortisol.• The Integrated Soul: Using the Dallas Willard model to understand why we feel "out of sync" when our attention is divided.• Sacred Listening: Creating the "trustworthy conditions" where your intuition can finally speak.The Grounded Soul Challenge:Ready to find your own quiet frequency?
