Summary
Join Michael at his New Year's Meditation Retreat in Costa Rica! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/awaken-to-a-new-year-of-possibility/
Our first Life Question comes from India (a person, not the country 😊). India, who recently left a relationship, wants to know how do you honor your needs when you've been conditioned to put yourself last?
Next, Patrick from Long Island, NY asks what to do when your spiritual practice starts to feel like a checklist to do in order to chase enlightenment.
Finally, Michael leads a meditation on facilitating inner growth and unfoldment.
