 I have created 6 different spoken word guided meditations that teach you how to activate your innate power and ability to self-heal, energize and release negative emotions or old beliefs that weigh us down or hold us back from BEing our authentic and powerful Self.
These guided meditations are unique because they teach you how to bring yourself into a state of physical, mental-emotional and energetic balance. They teach you how to process and release stored emotions, physical an chronic stress and pain, and how to tap into the neurohormone of love, healing and connection. Individuals learn how to activate key muscles to revitalize and deeply relax.
My background as a physical therapist, healing energy practitioner, yoga therapist and belly dance teacher has inspired me to create a multi-sensory experience through guided meditation. You will “become aware and feel” the innate freedom and splendor that is your natural state of being.
This is why the CD is called Free Yourself.
Try any one or a few of the following tracks daily and notice how they enhance the quality of your life. Comment down below and let me know how they benefit you!

I feel more relaxed and centered and when I encounter a stressful situation, I am better able to respond with calmness instead of panic.I love the meditations so much that I added them to my iPhone so I can listen to them anywhere or any time I need to relax or re-focus my attention.Thank you Michelle for sharing your healing and relaxing techniques with the world!”  Allison Semancik, President of Idea Sprouts Marketing.   www.ideasproutsmarketing.com
