Summary
Welcome to the new Take Back Your Mind Life Question of the Week podcast, a spinoff of Take Back Your Mind with Michael B. Beckwith where each week, Michael will address your Life Questions! The response to the Life Question segment was so incredible that we turned it into its own weekly podcast episode that drops each Friday!
Today’s Life Question comes from a yoga instructor who has been rejected by his childhood friends because they believe yoga is “demonic and goes against God,” and wants to know how to overcome the various challenges this experience is causing him.
If you’d like practical spiritual insight and encouragement around your relationships, finances, life purpose, or understanding world events, submit your Life Question of The Week to [email protected] and it may be featured in an upcoming episode.

| 0:00.0 | Peace and Rich's blessings. I am Michael B. Beckwith, and welcome to the new |
| 0:37.5 | Take Back Your Mind Podcast Life Question of the week. |
| 0:42.2 | What does take back your mind mean? |
| 0:45.8 | The mind at times is hijacked by the world of appearances. |
| 0:49.8 | But there's also a real world of love and beauty and joy that's eternal. |
| 0:58.0 | We want our mind to be flooded with that so that it becomes an avenue of awareness. |
| 1:00.8 | That's what take back your mind means. |

| 1:58.3 | I know it's important not to take things personally, |
