In this episode, Guy talked with Michael Sandler and
they explored the profound journey of embracing one's mystic nature
by overcoming fears and following the pulls of the heart. Michael
shared his experiences about the importance of surrender, the
lessons learned from his spiritual practices, and the joys and
challenges of being an empath. The conversation covered topics like
balancing spiritual insights with daily life, maintaining personal
boundaries, and practicing gratitude and love. They also discussed
the impact of life experiences, such as becoming a parent and
navigating professional pivots, on spiritual growth and
authenticity. Michael invited listeners to join his School of
Mystics for a transformative journey in expanding their
consciousness and living authentically.
About
Michael: Michael Sandler is the co-host of the popular
Inspire Nation Show, a transformational, self-help, spiritually
focused podcast and YouTube channel, along with his wife, fellow
coach, and teacher, Jessica Lee. He is a best-selling author,
speaker, entrepreneur, visionary, coach, and the co-creator of
Inspire Nation University and the Automatic Writing Experience
online course.
Having been a world-class athlete and coach, competing at the
international level in cycling, along with being a competitive
speed skater, Ironman triathlete, and runner, Michael has applied
those same training skills to being a life coach to teachers,
leaders, and visionaries. He is a life-long meditation practitioner
and meditation teacher. Two near-death accidents led to the
conception of the Inspire Nation show, the creation of the
Automatic Writing Experience, and the writing of this book. These
devastating accidents led Michael to a much deeper understanding
about the world, of Spirit, and of our connection to something
greater than ourselves. He calls this “getting the big picture” and
from that this book emerged.
Once driven purely by performance and results as an endurance
athlete, Michael survived the near-fatal accidents that cracked his
heart open and helped him discover a kinder, gentler way of moving
through life, one that arguably makes an even greater impact on
others and the planet. That’s what he calls being an open-hearted
warrior, and to his mission to elevate consciousness, shift
humanity, and help people truly discover their greatest self.
Despite twin titanium femurs and hips, as a result of the
accidents, he continues to run, skate, bike, and play in the
mountains or explore the world with Jessica, their daughter Hana,
three kitty cats, along with Roo Roo the Wonder Rooster, always in
prayer, always connected to Spirit.
