Take Back Your Mind

Today on Take Back Your Mind, Michael Beckwith welcomes Jeffrey Allen—spiritual thought leader, Mindvalley author and speaker, and a pioneer of online energy training. Known for practical, powerful **energy healing** tools, Jeffrey's mission is to make **higher consciousness** accessible so we can release conflict and pain and live with passion, purpose, and meaning. Through Mindvalley, he's introduced over a million people to personal energy work that improves relationships, deepens spiritual connection, and boosts presence, happiness, and impact. Based in Tokyo with his wife, Hisami, Jeffrey co-created **Awakening Your Spirit Mind**, a transformational course and community that teaches "Spirit Mind Living"—how to reconnect with your true essence, understand how consciousness really works, and open to a new mindset and lifestyle for navigating today's massive collective energy shift. If you're ready to switch from the material mind to the **spirit mind**, this conversation offers clear practices for intuition, compassion, and genuine transformation. See below for Jeffrey's Free Gift for Take Back Your Mind listeners! Conversation Highlights include: * Jeffrey's origin story—from math/CS and shared lucid dreams to a purpose-driven path in **energy healing** and service * The simple model of **two minds** (material vs. spirit) and how asking "which mind?" changes reactions, choices, and outcomes * "Code = energy": how **beliefs** set rules for reality, why clarity of desire matters, and working the subtle layer first (manifesting 101) * Spotting **spiritual ego** and quiet judgment—then replacing them with compassion for past versions of yourself and others * The **Breath of Love** micro-practice: use the natural pause at the top/bottom of the breath to access timeless, peaceful awareness * Inside **Awakening Your Spirit Mind**: tools and community for stabilizing spirit-led living amid the planet's energy shift; and more! Finally, Michael closes with a **guided meditation** to "wake up to your glorious nature," integrate love into action, and carry that frequency into your day. 🪷 Get Jeffrey's Free Gift, "Five Days to Calm Your Mind and Meet Your Spirit" course, here: https://www.spiritmind.com/a/2148202101/daUxDwii.

Our first Life Question comes from Jade in Alexandria, VA: After years of suppressing childhood pain, Jade is now confronting the truth about her father's long-standing dysfunction—infidelity, alcoholism, and a toxic blended family. She wants to have a healthy relationship only with him, but how can she navigate authenticity, boundaries, and spiritual growth when family pressure runs deep? Next, Shay wonders whether it's possible to feel both genuine gratitude and genuine dislike at the same time—especially when her new home, while a blessing, also triggers feelings of lack because it wasn't the house she truly wanted. Does her mixed emotions sabotage her spiritual practice? Finally, Michael leads a meditation on focusing on the Real and Eternal You that is untouched by time and the human experience. ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind? This podcast grows through your support.

Our first Life Question comes from "MMM" in South Africa who asks a big-picture question at the heart of our show: What exactly are we "taking back" the mind from? Is it conditioning, distorted creativity, or something like The Matrix? Next, Holly, who's never experienced a moment of feeling safe or loved, wonders how to enter meditations that begin with that visualization. Finally, Michael leads a meditation on coming into a level of coherence around the fundamental harmony of the Universe. ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind? This podcast grows through your support.

Bring a Friend, Save $200 @ Michael's New Year's Meditation Retreat in Costa Rica: https://events.agapelive.com/awaken-to-a-new-year-of-possibility/ After a profound spiritual awakening, Gugu is learning to love her fundamentalist Christian family as they are—yet struggles to comfort them during crises without betraying her own soul's knowing. How can she be truly compassionate when the language of her heart no longer matches their doctrine? Next, Becky wants to believe in God beyond the "man in the sky," but wonders how to pray to "a vibration"—and whether such a Presence can really answer. How can she really know what God is and how to reach It? Finally, Michael leads a powerful meditation in the sacred silence that leads to inspired thoughts and 'real thinking.' ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind? This podcast grows through your support.
