Every time you say "I am a Christian" or "I am a Jew," are you limiting God in you?Dr. Moshe Daniel breaks down why the Jewish people were chosen to build the vessel for God to incarnate into humanity—and why that mission was supposed to end 2,000 years ago when Christ came. This conversation goes beyond religious debate into the Aramonic impulse keeping us attached to separating identities and why your "I am" statements are either liberation or limitation.What you'll learn:Why the Jewish covenant was meant to break open, not continueHow every identity you attach to "I am" restricts the divine in youThe difference between ego's cage and soul's true natureDr. Moshe Daniel went from Orthodox Jew to teaching the esoteric truth that runs through all wisdom traditions. After severe illness broke down his ego and religious identity, he discovered what Judaism never taught him: that his fundamental nature isn't the beliefs, body, or mind he's inhabiting—it's the pure "I am" consciousness beyond all labels.Find Dr. M

Key TakeawaysMovement is the origin and expression of all psychological experienceYour early developmental movement patterns created the thought stories you're running todayThe rhythm that soothed you as an infant is still your nervous system's languageSmall shifts in posture, gesture, or movement create massive changes in thinking over timeYou can't heal a body you hate, but you can heal a body you feel neutral aboutWhat if everything you think is actually rooted in how you move?You're not stuck because you're thinking wrong. You're stuck because you're moving wrong. The way you learned to walk as a toddler created thought patterns you're still running today. The rhythm that soothed you as an infant is still your nervous system's language. Your posture right now is reinforcing the exact story you're trying to change.This isn't about exercise. It's about understanding that your body holds the blueprint for every pattern you can't seem to break. And the smallest shift in how you move can completely rewire how

In this episode, you'll discover:Why chronic neck and shoulder pain might actually be your heart wallHow your heart functions as a second brain with its own memoryThe connection between forgiveness and unlocking your heart's intelligenceHave you ever felt like your heart was going to break?Not metaphorically. Like, physically felt it. That elephant sitting on your chest. The feeling like you can't breathe.In those moments, when your heart feels like it's breaking, your subconscious does something to protect you. It builds a wall around your heart. An actual energetic barrier made of trapped emotions. That wall doesn't just keep out the pain. It keeps out everything. Love. Connection. Joy.Today our guest is Dr. Bradley Nelson, founder of the Emotion Code and author of the new book, The Heart Code. He's been helping people release trapped emotions and dismantle heart walls for over 37 years.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/432Join the Mind Love Collective here: https://mindlove.com/joinSign up fo

In this episode, you'll discover:✨ Why mistranslations in the Bible kept you from Christ consciousness✨ How your root chakra holds religious trauma from childhood programming✨ The energetic shift happening now for souls completing 3D incarnationHave you ever felt like the God you were taught to worship doesn't match the God you actually experience? Like there's this massive gap between what you were told to believe and what your soul knows to be true?I grew up in a world where God was a checklist. Say the right prayers. Follow the right rules. Fear the right things. And for a long time, I thought leaving religion meant leaving God entirely. I couldn't even say the word "God" without feeling like I was betraying the version of myself that had fought so hard to break free. So I called it the universe instead. The source. Anything but the loaded word that carried so much baggage.But here's what I've learned. Deconstructing your faith isn't the same as losing your connection to something greater. Sometimes you ha

In this episode, you'll discover:How your soul aura reveals gifts, wounds, and lessons you're here to integrateWhy enlightenment is literally about radiating all colors of lightWhat quantum healing looks like when you work with energy directlyWhat if you're not actually a body with a soul, but light energy that temporarily took physical form?I know how that sounds. But stay with me.Most personality systems tell you what box you fit into. Myers-Briggs. Enneagram. Human Design. They're all trying to explain who you are based on behavior patterns. But Helen Plehn's Aura Color Wheel system starts with a complet ely different premise. You're not solid matter trying to be more spiritual. You're literally made of light.Modern physics backs this up. At the quantum level, everything is light, sound, vibration, frequency, and wavelength. Your body isn't solid. It's condensed light moving at different speeds. When you zoom in far enough, there's no "you" in the way you think there is. Just energy pulsing in patterns.Tod

In this episode, you'll discover:Why everything you need for healing is already inside youHow heart intelligence differs from mental understanding and why it mattersThe two-minute breathwork practice that brings you back to centerWhy do we spend thousands of dollars on healing modalities when the most powerful tool we have is free and already inside us?I've been that person. The one collecting certifications and techniques like they're going to unlock some secret level of consciousness. I've paid for energy healings, bought the crystals, traveled to the retreats. And I'm not saying those things don't have value. Some of them genuinely changed my life. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was outsourcing my power. I was looking for someone else to tell me I was doing it right instead of trusting what I already knew. That's the trap so many of us fall into. We think spirituality is supposed to be complicated. That if we're not studying ancient texts or learning complex breathwork patterns, we're not seriou

In this episode, you'll discover:Why survival mode blocks you from your own inner knowingHow to tell the difference between being busy and taking real actionThe three stages of pausing that pull you out of autopilot modeWhat if the very thing you think is making you productive is actually keeping you stuck?I used to believe that the more I did, the more I'd achieve. More workshops. More meditation apps. More morning routines. I was collecting healing modalities like they were going out of style. I was convinced that if I just found the right combination, everything would click. But I kept feeling exhausted in a way that sleep couldn't fix. One day I realized something. All that doing was just another way to avoid being. I was so busy healing that I never had time to actually feel anything.Most of us have confused motion with momentum. We think pausing means falling behind. That rest is for people who aren't serious. But what if the opposite is true? What if you're stuck because you never stop long enough to r

In this conversation, you'll discover:Why your achievement addiction is actually a fear response in disguiseHow play unlocks the creative parts of yourself productivity destroysThe real reason you can't rest (and how to finally stop running) When was the last time you did something just because it was fun?Not because it would advance your career. Not because it would make you a better parent or partner. Not because it would optimize your health or expand your network. Just because it brought you joy.If you're sitting there drawing a blank, you're not alone. Most of us have turned our entire lives into one giant to-do list. We've optimized the fun right out of existence.I realized this recently when I noticed that every single thing on my calendar served a purpose. Work meetings. Kid activities. Workouts. Networking events. Even my "fun" plans were really just relationship maintenance or personal development in disguise. There was literally nothing on there that was pure play. Nothing that existed just be

In this episode, you'll discover:Why being lied to reveals exactly what someone fears mostThe counterintuitive question that makes people open up without feeling interrogatedHow reading comfort shifts unlocks influence without manipulationEver notice how some people just have it? They walk into a room and within minutes, people are opening up to them. Sharing things they normally keep locked away. Laughing harder. Leaning in closer. And you're standing there thinking, what am I missing?Here's the secret nobody wants to admit. Those people aren't more charismatic. They're not better looking or funnier or more interesting. They've just figured out something most of us completely overlook. They've learned to make other people feel like the most fascinating person in the room.I spent years thinking I needed to be more interesting to be a better conversationalist. I'd prep stories, practice witty comebacks, show up armed with impressive facts. And I'd leave every conversation feeling exhausted and weirdly disconne

In this episode, you'll discover:How to tell the difference between your thoughts and your higher self speakingWhy time isn't linear and what that means for healing this lifetimeWhat actually happens when you access the part of you that remembers everythingWhat if you've been having the same conversation across multiple lifetimes, and you just don't remember?Your higher self does. It remembers every version of you that ever existed. Every life you've lived. Every person you've loved or hurt or learned from. It chose the body you're in right now. It picked your parents, your challenges, the exact circumstances that would force you to grow. And it's been trying to talk to you this entire time.Most people think the subconscious is just the part of your brain that stores habits and childhood memories. But Dolores Cannon discovered something else entirely. A level of consciousness that exists outside of time. That can access any moment that ever was or ever will be. She called it the subconscious because she didn'

In this episode, you'll discover:Why some people receive clear spiritual downloads while others hear nothingThe protection filter that keeps negativity out while divine guidance flows in How your religious upbringing might be the exact foundation you neededHave you ever had a thought pop into your head that you knew didn't come from you?Not the anxious spiral. Not the mental to-do list. I'm talking about the quiet knowing that tells you to take a different route home. The sudden clarity about a relationship that's been draining you for months. The download that arrives fully formed, like someone just handed you the answer you've been searching for.Most people write it off. They call it intuition or gut instinct and leave it at that. But what if it's not coming from your gut at all? What if there's an entire team on the other side actively guiding you, protecting you, speaking to you every single day? And what if the only reason you can't hear them clearly is because you've been taught that this kind of c

In this episode, you'll discover:Whether mystical states are just neurons firing or something science can't explain yetWhy human morality keeps evolving and what that means for the stories we call truthHow to use technology to train your focus without losing the magic of transcendenceHave you ever noticed how the though ts that torture you most aren't even yours?They're hand-me-downs. Scripts you inherited from parents who inherited them from their parents. Cultural programming that told you productivity equals worth. That rest is laziness. That your value comes from how much you can do for everyone else. You've been running on these thoughts for so long you forgot they're just thoughts. Not truth. Just noise.Most people think meditation is about becoming calm. It's not. It's about seeing the machinery. The way your brain spins the same stories on repeat. The way it reaches for distraction the second discomfort shows up. The way it convinces you that scrolling Instagram or buying another thing or staying

In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body rebels when you're living someone else's scriptThe third option between toxic masculinity and invisible masculinityHow real masculine power actually improves intimate relationshipsWhat if the price of being the "good guy" is losing yourself completely?I'm so tired of hearing women complain about where all the good men are. You know what I think? They're out there. They're just so busy trying not to be toxic that they've made themselves invisible. We've swung from one extreme to another. Now instead of dealing with assholes, we're dating ghosts.You've got two terrible options in the dating world. Door number one: the obvious red flags who think emotions are for weaklings and leadership means being the loudest jackass in the room. Door number two: guys who are so terrified of taking up space that there's nothing actually there. Sure, they're nice. Sure, they're safe. But they're also the type to suggest going Dutch on the first date because making any kind of move
