Hi everyone, Michael Sandler here, your host on inspire nation. Today we have a fun short meditation for you that I do quite frequently when I want to ground myself, plug back in, and keep the world from spinning. In other words, when things get too busy, of I feel like I’m being pulled multiple directions at once, this is my go-to meditation. With that said, you can do this meditation anytime of the day, and virtually anywhere, though I always want you to focus on the road, NOT a meditation, while you’re driving. If you like this meditation please do us a HUGE favor and rate and review it on iTunes. And Check out today’s re-airing of our FIRST show with Michael Samuels, on The Secret and The Law of Attraction for the New Year. You can find it, along with more meditations by me and our guests at www.InspireNationShow.com. I send love. I send light. And many, many blessings your way. Namaste. Okay, you can do this meditation sitting, standing, or laying down, though my preference is upright in a chair, with bo

It was the ultimate twist of fate that a famous neurosurgeon who taught at Harvard, and would tell patients and students alike that the soul is merely an illusion of the mind, would be struck down with what should have been a fatal brain disease. Dr. Eben Alexander spent a week in a coma, brain-dead with cerebral meningitis, with doctors suggesting his wife pull the plug. They gave up on antibiotics and waited for him to die. But after 7 days without any signs of brain activity, he miraculously came back, and with the most incredible near-death experience to share. This is a truly life-changing interview. Here’s a doctor who’s entire life was built around a premise that there is no afterlife. And yet when he returns, he shares a completely different story. If you believe his story, and it’s hard not to, then it completely changes, or affirms, everything we think about life, about death, and where we’re going from here. It can’t help but get you thinking, and quite possibly living your life a different way. Th

Hi Everyone, Michael Sandler here, your host on Inspire Nation. Today I’d planned on sharing with you a meditative journey of the Christmas walk I took with my wife and co-host Jessica Lee, but then we received a text from a dear friend on Maui where we lived for many years. He was visiting an ancient Heiau, pronounced (Hey Ow) on Maui, or holy temple grounds of the Hawaiian ancestors. It was a place we’ve been to many times ourselves, over Christmas, or New Years, or Solstice. A place to reconnect, to say our prayers, and to make our well wishes for the days ahead. It’s also been a tremendous place to say prayers for healing, and watch them come true So today, as a special Christmas treat, I’ll take you on a short Hawaiian adventure, to a heiau, on the northwest side of the Valley Isle of Maui, one of the youngest islands on the chain.

If so, then this inspiring interview with the incredibly successful film-maker and producer of the award-winning movie What the Bleep Do We Know is for you! Betsy shares her journey to meteoric success with What the Bleep, and then how she cracked, and how her world then fractured apart. People thought she had ALL the answers. She was considered spiritually enlightened, paid thousands for motivational, spiritual gigs, and even opened for Deepak Chopra. She thought she had all the answers too. Then she cracked, and found she had none! But out of this came a shiftin of her beliefs, that helped her put her life back together again, and to live the life of her dreams. She shares a key secret to life, that happiness is an inside job. She also shares how we can find this inside of ourselves. She helps us become more mindful, culture greater awareness or consciousness, and helps us learn to

Today we have a very special meditation for you. It’s Christmas around the world, and for me, I love celebrating with family, with friends, and with special sacred time in nature.

Want to attract greater happiness, health, success, wealth and love into your life? Then this interview with self-love expert and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Kamal Ravikant author of the runaway bestseller Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It, is for you! Kamal wasn’t always a self-help expert. He was a successful tech start-up expert until the last company he started completely blew up. He lost friends, investors, his savings, his health, determination, and everything he had. Depressed and dejected, he holed himself up in bed in a dark room, saying “feeling depressed was on my better days”. But then one day, he couldn’t take it anymore, and crawled to his journal, where he made a sacred vow with himself. That vow would transform his life, and the lives of countless others. His life rebounded, his health took off, relationships improved, and even his finances dramatically turned around. Then he wrote a book on it which became an overnight sensation! In this inspiring interview you’ll learn about his sac

Are you a Facebook fan, a tweet-aholic, hooked on your youtube, or maybe your amazon prime? Or are you just permanently connected, almost fused at the hip or at the ear to your smart phone?

We’re coming back to a topic today we’ve talked about a little bit recently, overcoming fear and anxiety. It’s particularly prevalent this time of the year, but I’d argue it’s there all the time, perhaps just more in the background, keeping us from achieving, feeling, or performing at our best, or sapping away our energy or happiness. If this sounds even remotely familiar or within the realm of 'perhapsability', then have no fear, Inspire Nation is here! Today we’ll talk with fear and anxiety expert Dr. Friedemann Schaub, author of the Fear and Anxiety Solution. I want to get to the heart of the matter today, why fear may be silently ruling our lives, where it comes from, how it manifests, and most importantly, what in the world we do to let go of it for good and to find some inner peace! Questions and Topics Include: How we begin to un-create our fear and anxiety How Dr. Schaub moved from Cardiology to Psychiatric Medicine The nocebo affect (a term from Deepak Chopra) vs. Placebo affect Are we all strugglin
