How To 'Take Back Your Mind' with Michael B. Beckwith

Take Back Your Mind

03/01/23 • 50 min

In this debut episode, Michael explains the theme of the show and what it means to take back our mind. So what is the mind? The mind is a set of programs impacted by and conditioned through our parents and family dynamics, society, civil and social culture, the media, social media, etc,. which tends to shape our perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, world view, and our experiences. Oftentimes, these thoughts and emotions are repetitive, and have a tendency to be rooted in fear, worry, doubt, shame, and guilt. So to take back the mind means to break free from the present formation of these thought-forms through being dedicated to the spiritual awakening to our Real Self that is emerging and embracing the next great vision and version of ourselves.

Each week, Take Back Your Mind features guests who, in their own unique way, are on the leading edge of human expansion and evolution.

But first, Michael starts off each show with a Life Question of The Week from listeners and viewers where he offers practical spiritual insight and encouragement around relationships, finances, health, life purpose, or in understanding world events (you can submit your question to [email protected] ). This week, Michael answers a question from a woman who is grappling with the death of her husband from cancer, despite him living, what she believed, was an ideal spiritual and physically healthy lifestyle.

And, each episode ends with a brief guided meditation that embraces the energy and teachings of the interviews.

So join Michael on this journey of spiritual discovery each week! Subscribe and set an alert to receive notifications when new episodes are available. New episodes drop each Wednesday! And if you like what you hear, please leave a review!

The Energetic Power of Certainty: How Subconscious Programming Can Change Your Life with Julie Morin

Take Back Your Mind

02/12/25 • 63 min

Today, Michael welcomes Julie Morin, a respected meditation and mindset coach whose life story is a testament to the power of resilience and self-transformation. After overcoming a chronic illness that left her unable to walk for four years, Julie has made a full recovery and now dedicates her life to guiding others on their paths to wellness. She co-founded Envol, a holistic platform dedicated to helping individuals tap into their inner strengths, reclaim their power, and transform their lives. Through Envol, she inspires countless people to embark on their own healing journeys and realize their full potential.

Highlights from Michael and Julie’s rich conversation include:

-Julie’s experience of coping with an initial diagnosis (which turned out to be a misdiagnosis!) and losing the ability to walk at age 25

-The steps she took to manage her diet and sleep and optimize her physical environment to boost her healing capacity—yet it was watching the HEAL documentary (featuring Michael) that truly opened the door to the hope and possibility of a full recovery

-The transformative impact of meditation in greatly reducing Julie’s physical pain, and why shifting from saying, "I hope I will heal" to "I know I will heal" is essential in any healing journey due to the energetic power of certainty

-Julie’s journey from her seeing chronic illness as a burden to embracing it as a gift; the powerful role that visualizing her dream life and stepping into the emotion of “healed Julie” had in her healing; why trusting yourself and having faith in your own capacity is key; harnessing and amplifying the power of belief until it becomes embodied; insights into her Envol platform, and so much more!

Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on joy, peace, and gratitude.

The Science of Spirituality with Bruce Lipton

Take Back Your Mind

04/05/23 • 64 min

On today’s Life Question of the Week Michael answers the existential question: “If I chose to be here on the planet at this time and picked the parents that I have, how come I couldn’t have determined the outcome for my life, or have it turn out better than it did?”

Next, Michael sits down with Bruce Lipton, stem cell biologist, the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles, and an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit whose breakthrough studies in the 1980s and 90s on the cell membrane gave rise to one of today’s most important fields of study: the science of epigenetics, which has since been validated in many subsequent papers by other researchers.

In this episode, Michael and Bruce discuss Bruce’s spiritual epiphany which transformed his life as well as his understanding of and approach to his cell biology research; how our mind/consciousness/energy field affects our body chemistry, genes, and how we experience life; and how we can retrain our consciousness to create healthy beliefs for a healthy life.
