How to Overcome Fear, Master Your Subconscious Mind and Live in the Present | Marvin Wilkerson

What if the fears holding you back aren't real — and your subconscious mind is simply running an outdated file? In this episode of Journey to Purpose, Philippa sits down with Marvin Wilkerson, master astrologer and hypnotherapist based in Nashville, Tennessee, for a fascinating exploration of the mind, the body and the invisible forces that shape our lives.Marvin explains how the subconscious mind treats unresolved stress as a threat to survival — filing it away and replaying it until we actively intervene. Drawing on the work of Dr. David Hawkins, he shares how negative thoughts can drain up to 50% of your physical strength, and why every fear you experience is ultimately one you've created yourself.The conversation also covers the power of living fully in the present, how dragging the past into today creates anxiety while projecting into the future creates fear, and why gratitude and spiritual practice are the antidote to both. Marvin also introduces his work in astrology as a tool for self-realization.A thought-provoking episode for anyone ready to stop letting their mind run the show.About Marvin WilkersonMarvin Lee Wilkerson (CH., CI., CM.NLP) is a Master Astrologer and lifelong seeker of truth about life's psychologies and mysteries.
