Panache's Early Meditation Foundation

Turn meditation from something you do into something you live. Sign up for Michael's 5-week course, "Meditation 2.0: The Evolution of Consciousness," starting January 20th: https://agapemasterclass.com/meditation-2-0/.

Today, Michael welcomes Panache Desai—internationally acclaimed mentor, speaker, and bestselling author featured on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday. Raised with meditation as his baseline, Panache blends ancient wisdom with an everyday, relatable approach to help people accept their humanity, embody oneness, and live from love. He's the creator of the long-running daily gathering Call to Calm, guiding thousands to self-acceptance, breath-anchored awareness, and a compassionate life of service.

Conversation Highlights include:

-Being raised in a meditation-centered home which established stillness and devotion as a lifelong foundation

-A direct experience of Oneness reveals the same love and light at the core of all life

-Saying yes to an inner calling invites active participation in one's unfolding rather than waiting on circumstances

-True spirituality prioritizes self-acceptance over self-fixing; embracing humanity opens the door to the Divine

-Three daily practices—accept, observe without judgment, and rest in the breath—turn ordinary moments into a living meditation

-Self-compassion stabilizes growth and naturally widens compassion toward others

-Growth is becoming who you already are by relaxing defenses and allowing love and support to be received

-Challenging seasons become initiations; surrender and humility reveal unexpected strength and deeper peace

-Panache's simple daily gathering—brief teaching plus a 21-minute sit—offers community, steadiness, and calm

Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on anchoring joy, gratitude, and steady presence as a way of being.
