Real graduates. Real coaching practices. Real lives changed.

It's quite indescribable I have to say. I went from a depressed, angry, broke and old Man to a peaceful, happy, prospective and very young looking 50 year old. I have so many avenues yet to travel. It's like the beginning for me and not enough time to do it all. I will certainly try of course.

I have quit my job that was no longer serving me, I moved back home with my Mom for the time being and she's in this peaceful sanctuary surrounded by nature, I feel so much more peace, groundedness, stability and wellness. I have gained so much clarity in my patterns and self-sabotage. I am stepping into fun jobs that are truly pure PLAY for me. I have started a YouTube channel where I am sharing my thoughts, insights and my story fluidly and openly. I have made huge progress with my morning ritual practice and I am continuing to move forward with this. I have also started to create an altar in my bedroom for prayer and rituals.

This week has been particularly meaningful for a few reasons. On the 14th of May was the 5th Anniversary of my mum's sudden passing. This was a horrific and tragic death which involved a Coronial Inquest a year later and a lot of emotionally disturbing events that I (and my family) endured. As this is around the same time as Mother's Day, the last five years have been very distressing at this time, not just for myself but my siblings and family. This year, I literally did not feel upset.

I am going to build a business and become a success in my own right. I am excited (and a little scared) at the future, but I have an inner strength now that I did not have before. I am motivated to move forward in my life and fear has become a smaller demon to deal with.

I wake up to my morning meditations and relaxing on my back porch. I take time to ground and think about my day. I sit and set my intentions and say my daily affirmations while working from home. I like to spend time working on my book and reflecting on past lessons. Another thing I enjoy doing is gardening and growing my own food because I believe high vibrational foods have been a huge part of my healing journey knowing where the food comes from and having a more simplistic, intuitive way of eating.

My life has improved 10 fold from even just 30 days ago. I'm waking early everyday, practicing yoga, spending time communing with God, eating really satvic meals based on my dosha and overall being very intentional about how and what I create. My life has really expanded a lot since integrating this powerful information into my day to day; I really feel that I am LIVING these teachings and that I am doing better and better everyday. More space has opened up for magic and endless possibilities.

The 21 Day Challenge changed my life. The idea of applying it to a psychology course suddenly came to me in February when I felt stuck and incapable of finishing anything in my life. For a long time, I had felt the need to complete some university courses to move on in my life. However, I didn't know where to start and had zero motivation. The 21 Day Challenge came to my rescue when I needed help the most, and I'm forever grateful for it.

My life has changed so drastically. I really feel like I did a massive clean up. My house is cleaner, my email/fb relationship is 100% better, no more toxic relationships, I am now facing my challenges with my parents more peacefully, I have quieted my ego a great deal and will continue to breakdown those walls it has created in my life. My past ego was holding me in a place of control, fear, anger, attachment, and pride. During this module I have really worked on releasing those negative energies and will continue to do so. I feel more at peace and I am excited to keep learning, growing and expanding my consciousness.

Oh my goodness Awakened Academy CHANGED my life. I can't even begin to tell you the amount of growth I have experienced through this company. I would say the main thing it has brought me is wisdom. Like deep wisdom that a lot of society doesn't have access to. I can't even begin to express the amount of gratitude and appreciation I have for Michael. Michael says our ego is the cumulative sum of the 5 people we surround ourselves with the most, and Michael is most certainly one of those people for me. My biggest achievement is writing 6 books using Michael's process, which helped make it simple and straightforward. I highly highly highly recommend this program. Deeply passionate about Awakened Academy.

Awakened Academy is a Life transforming program which has elevated my spiritual consciousness while incorporating practical techniques, methods, and teachings co-creating real and lasting change in my 'mundane' life. So many spiritual courses and teaching ignore or downplay the importance of taking practical steps and actions in creating what one wants in life.

Powerful! Brilliant! Inspiring! I have been apart of Awakened Academy for over 8 years. Michael & Arielle have changed my life in such profound ways. I have learned so much from their spiritual wisdom, heart-centered advice, and practical tools to evolve my business so I can serve the world at my highest capacity. I highly recommend Awakened Academy to all who are looking to grow, learn, and excel in their ability to inspire people's lives! Thank you for making my life so wonderful and for inspiring me to continue to positively impact 1,000's of lives!

If I had to encapsulate the gifts that Arielle and Michael have given me into 2 words, I would choose nourishment and inspiration.

I am reflecting on when I first came to Awaken Academy. I had many years of religions under my belt. I knew I had some supernatural gifts and being a nurse I worked in all areas including psychology. Drug programs, alcohol addiction programs. I was interested in the Spiritual Coach certificate. This was in 2023. By the way in July that year I had just turned 70 years old and I had just moved back to California from Charleston SC. I was emotionally drained, broken. Renting a room. Basically starting all over.

Without a doubt this module has been extremely powerful for me. I have realised that I have always been wading through the mud and not working with the gold or the diamonds and therefore, burning out and feeling inauthentic and getting depressed as a result. I know what I need to do NOW!!

I start every morning at 4:40 to 5:50 am and make some tea and then write 3 bullet points of things I am grateful for then I meditate for 20 minutes. When I meditate I try to be in a state of silence and just listen to my surroundings, and or I will practice remembering myself as a soul with the loving rays of the divine shining down on me. After meditation, I begin my studying until 7 am then at 7 am I get ready and go to work. At work, I practice maintaining a peaceful presence, holding the understanding that we are all divine souls upon this earth and that has helped me become more kind and patient with others.

My name is Dina and I wanted to share with you about my experience with Arielle and Michael and Awakened Academy.

The path of spiritual reawakening is the most profound 'magical experience' a seeking soul can ever experience. For the past 20 years, I have been evolving and going deeper and deeper into a realm of consciousness that unearths everything that is not authentic to us and propels us into our powerful energy field.

Joining Awakened Academy was hands-down one of the best choices I have ever made. This course, Michael & Arielle, the group, and everything involved have truly been magical & life-changing.

I have a much better innerstanding of my walk with the Divine, and will never run out of 'AH-HA' moments on this forever walk. My most precious 'AH-HA' moment was learning about just being willing. To be willing is the key to moving past the unknown and into the realm of the known. I still hear the words often, 'Just be willing'.

My name is Wendy and I am currently enrolled in Awakened Academy. I wanted to let you know how the Academy has benefited me since my enrollment. At first, I was a little skeptical, however, I DID feel immediately bonded to Arielle and Michael and really felt in my spirit that they are the REAL deal. They took quite a bit of time talking to me and just getting to know me and vise versa on the phone and via email. I had sooo many questions. I took my time to make my decision, but I knew that if I really wanted to break down the obstacles and barriers I felt were blocking me from moving forward, I was going to have to invest both time and money and die to a few things. I was prepared to do that and I am here to tell you I have not had ONE ounce of regret!

It's been a year now since I decided to become a spiritual life coach and of course I transferred this habit of being active and productive to this new project. I would feel bad and stressed if I felt that I am not progressing enough. Progressing and achieving goals has started to give me a sense of security, that I was doing something useful. Without knowing it, I was always comparing myself to others. I would feel like an underachiever and I would compensate for that painful feeling by achieving goals.

I now work in concert with God and my angels, ancestors and guides to help me in my life which has made my life so much richer. I tend to rely on my spirit senses to guide me which has opened up my world so much and allowed me to slow down and be more in flow with the course my life is taking. I have recognized that I've been in a codependent relationship with my mother my whole life and I'm now setting healthier boundaries and healing from that trauma. I'm putting myself first and I'm beginning to share this work with others that is having a positive impact on their lives. I now go with the flow much more and I'm truly enjoying the journey. I'm also beginning to earn more money by doing less, I'm making healthier food choices and bringing my body into balance by eating healthier and exercising. I'm really becoming me and not an unhappy version of someone else. I'm living life on my terms and feeling more empowered.

Well … Basically … I fell in Love. I feel immense Love in Return. Awakened Academy… A soft place to Land and Grow.

I think that one of the most valuable lessons from my coaching practice, has been able to use my creativity to the fullest, as well as allowing myself to be vulnerable to my own soul consciousness, mostly because most of my practice I have done it out of my comfort zone, while in a moment in which I am also experiencing deep personal breakthroughs that are most definitely empowering me and giving me the confidence that I am in the right path to be a great Spiritual Life Coach and serve others. Now, I feel that I am in the perfect moment of my existence in which I only see myself only as a Light Worker serving others with my talents.

I can't express how grateful I am and how fortunate I feel for having fortuitously stumbled upon Michael and Arielle's work. They have helped me learn to say 'no', take 'me time' and to embrace my introversion. Their openness in sharing past pains with a wide-open heart has enabled me to confront & embrace my pains.

My life has improved significantly because I feel my inner fire and purpose re-igniting. This module really opened me up to remember to believe in myself and my truth and my power. This is what I am here for, to live my dharma and I can go for it!

My life has improved significantly! My home looks better than ever, and we have done some deep cleaning and even attracted new furniture to spruce up the place and have it feel more homey. I realized that when I took on this mission and said yes to this adventure, I really didn't know just how much my life would change. This module helped hold space for me to have the tough conversations, and to be gentle yet consistent about what I needed and wanted and when boundaries were being crossed. I just feel so light, so good, and so cleansed.

I've taken many coaching classes over the years, but it wasn't until I joined Awakened Academy that my coaching truly became transformational for others. The program took me to another level of awakening and up-leveling. Through the first pillar, I gained the confidence to become a coach and even landed my first client. And I've got to say, my life is now pure joy and ecstasy. I love getting up every morning. This has been a complete transformation, and I know this is one of the best decisions I've made so far.

This program has shifted so much in my life, it's been a complete transformation. I use what I've learned in my coaching packages, and I got my first client through the wealth course. All things are possible if you believe. This is a wonderful, life-changing program. There's no other certification like this.

I feel like I have a whole set of tools I've learned to use on myself, and now I can share them with clients, friends, and family. This has been part of an amazing transformation. If you feel called, know that this is the step. The support throughout this journey is incredible, and you'll learn so much about yourself along the way. Just take the leap, you won't regret it.

The quality and quantity of the resources Awakened Academy provides are unbelievable. They over-deliver in every way, and I feel so empowered. This program is unparalleled in its depth and support. I feel more empowered and aligned with my purpose than ever before.

Excellent program for spiritual evolution and figuring out life purpose. Michael is an excellent teacher for meditation and personal development and really helps break down complicated concepts into easy, digestible pieces and teaches us how to make it actionable in our lives. He's also quite funny and loves to overdeliver. A very generous soul and I feel grateful to have him as a teacher and mentor.

The insights I received on the call were exactly what I was looking for, calm, clear, and without pressure. The call was fair, transparent, and exactly what I needed to make my decision. I'm thrilled I took this step.

Joining the Awakened Academy program was one of the best decisions I have made. Michael and Arielle are both loving, supportive, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They have helped me gain my confidence to move forward towards my dreams even when everyone else thinks I'm crazy. This is a MUST-DO program for anyone who is looking to gain inspiration to live an awakened life, take a journey within and connect with your higher self, and show up and make a difference in the world.

I have 14 days left in my 21 days of giving and receiving, and already something that I put on my vision board for the year has come to pass! I put on my vision board that I will own an old Craftsman in 2021. Then the miracle happened….

I would like to share with the Awakened Academy community, a story about the recent reconciliation with my younger sister. She has gone through very dark moments with her teenage daughter and caused friction between the families, to the point that we completely cut off communication. I joined the Awakened Academy quite a while after this, and I was not in a good place, emotionally.

As soon as I began your program on Dharma, my wealth increased; new opportunities, propositions and projects came into my life. It is all really coming together and I am looking forward to everyday like a 'miracle magic day'… and oh how happy I am!

Thank you so much Michael and Arielle! I have been implementing what I've learned from the magic money meaning program and I am experiencing more change for the best in my life than ever before! I feel like I have breakthroughs every day now. I am so inspired from your teachings. Thank you thank you thank you for everything!

I want to thank you Michael for the motivation and let you know that I just had a client sign up to work with me for 3 months for $1,500! Yay! I'm very grateful to you and God I know the momentum will continue! Much Love & Many, Many Blessings my friend.

Michael and Arielle, your work is NOT like the other stuff, the other stuff which was full of empty promises and false truths; stuff I used for a day and gave up forever. Your gifts are entirely relevant, unique, real and profound. It is what my soul always knew, but could never finds words or ways of expression for.

Arielle and Michael are outstanding human beings in the world we share here on earth. They are sincere souls destined by integrity to grow the true light within us all. With their arrival I began to know the ever greatness of awareness and am beside myself with appreciation for the kindred spirit which exists with in and between us. With much presence, patience, and love Arielle and Michael stand as pillars of truth wisdom, and compassion. Thank you so much for your devotion and awakening the devotion in me.

You have given freely of yourself, your knowledge and your time. Every single e-mail I receive these days, including from personal friends, is someone trying to sell something, a product, a service, not one 'real' person asking, 'how are you? what do you need?' I love it that I see YOU offering what spirit has given you to serve and help others… your genuine care makes my soul happy! It is like a soothing balm that you actually care about others… really care! Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos, particularly the one on how to eliminate cannabis from your life… It has helped me tremendously, only three days clean from it, but I am already feeling a noticeable change and am ready for the next shift and chapter in the evolution of my being.

They provide the building blocks to freedom; Freedom from drudgery, freedom from our limiting beliefs, freedom from the lies that we have agreed to.

You were a potent catalyst in propelling me forward and discovering my life purpose. It was easy to be myself without any fears of being misunderstood. I so appreciated your luminous, guiding light.

In June of 2018 is when I found Awakened Academy. I would receive emails from Arielle asking how I was feeling through this process. I remember saying to myself, 'what great timing it is to be receiving these emails from Arielle.' She would say such wonderful words like, 'you are a special soul,' and that they were 'holding me in love and seeing me healed.' Change began to happen unintentionally; working through the Academy course has helped me change without trying to, it's just happening.

In a short space of time, I can see and feel positive changes already. I have completely renewed my intentions so that they are aligned with what I would like to achieve in my life. I am committed to self-care where I nourish my body through healthy foods and sleep, and I give myself permission to rest if needed. I enjoy celebrating my achievements and celebrating my life daily through activities that are soul-nourishing.

Michael and Arielle share powerful insights and crystal-clear techniques for gaining new depths of self-knowledge, clarity on one's innermost landscape of hopes and visions and the courage to take practical daily actions to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges where necessary to ultimately pursue what they fittingly call: the path of the heart. Namely an authentic and purpose-filled life on track with the highest good for all, in harmony with the ways of compassion and true to personal values rather than inherited and solidified roles, patterns and beliefs.

My participation in several of the courses have also contributed to my development. Not only am I more relaxed, but because my awareness has increased, so have some of the practical aspects of my life. The playful and happy attitude this young couple displays, also resonates well with me, as my approach to the world is similar. Some of their teachings have also been of great use to my son who has taken on an academic challenge. I am thankful, and highly recommend the courses.

I just want to thank you from my inner heart for inviting me on to this course. I am so infinitely grateful. You both are so wonderful. Thank you for your gifts to all. I am so excited to move forward with grace and ease enjoying the journey. Thank you, thank you thank you…. Much love, light and gratitude.

It helps you become charged by knowing your own values and visions, and by releasing the things that don't serve you. You come to know what wants to be expressed through our character and our soul, and why it is worth it to be in this worldly experience! Another important point of clarity is to learn we don't have to figure it out just by ourselves. We can ask our divine companion to support us and receive divine guidance (which is very relieving…).

I'm completely grateful for Michael and Arielle. Before I joined the School of Dharma program, I really didn't know who I was or understand what my true calling was. I had no idea what I wanted to do with myself, I had no big goals. My ability to laugh deeply and enjoy the wonders of life had been buried. All of that has changed. Michael's ability to share his infinite knowledge always arrives at the perfect time and Arielle's sweetness and compassion add such tenderness to the program. During my personal struggles there was always wisdom, love and support available to me.

I'm thankful that so many people today follow their truth and stand up for a living planet. Thank you Arielle & Michael for spreading the beauty. Only by reading the words you send out, transformation occurs. It's also transformative knowing there are people like you who have this care and loving approach to life.

Michael and Arielle you are the real deal! You are Leaders. You inspire. You empower. You are kind, generous souls. These characteristics are just a small sample of the many you demonstrate and the page is too short to list them all. The deep knowledge and wisdom that you are sharing with such love and patience is truly a gift for me and to the world. It's an honor learning from you and seeing how my world is changing as I implement your teachings. Thank you for being there for me, showing me the light and reminding me of who I am. You are my Stars!

I feel fantastic! I want to do them all over again so I have a very clear understanding. Thank you!

As soon as I began the Dharma program, opportunities started showing up. It feels less like work and more like the universe is finally returning my own energy back to me.

Only by reading the words you send out, transformation occurs. It's also transformative knowing there are people like you who have this care and loving approach to life.

Your program blew my mind. Within days I was on my path. I love that your genuine care makes my soul happy! It is like a soothing balm that you actually care about others… really care! Thank you!

This is a MUST-DO program for anyone. Joining the Awakened Academy program was one of the best decisions I have made. Michael and Arielle are both loving, supportive, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They have helped me gain my confidence to move forward towards my dreams even when everyone else thinks I'm crazy.

Two years ago I dropped out of university when the Awakened Academy crossed my path… Currently I have touched the lives of over 4,500 people through my coaching and meditation practice.

I am absolutely loving the course. I'm currently at the Hero's Journey section and I'm reading The Big Leap (per your recommendation). My mindset is completely changed since reading the book and listening to the audio. I absolutely love it.

My goal is to complete the course in 2024 and start the authors book writing course.

Thank you so much for your beautiful and profound message. I really appreciate your sincerity, vulnerability, and authenticity, something that is rare and missing in today's world of spiritual teachers and coaches.

The line that hit me: 'Transformation without completion and implementation keeps you in the same place, aware but stuck.' I am speechless. Thank you.

Yes, I am so grateful for this course. It was my pleasure, thank you for everything. I just completed Mission 3.5 Enchanting Offer Coaching and I'm now in the Hero Sessions section. Every step is unfolding beautifully.

Blessings to Michael. Thank you for your beautiful words of encouragement and support. I have spent a lot of my earth time in secret resentment, fear, heart pain, regret and so on. At the same time I have been given so much through this program, and I am learning to let go of all that no longer serves me and step into who I really am.

The videos in the course are really creative and impactful, really enjoying watching them. Many blessings. I truly value your guidance and support and will do my best. Sending lots of love and light.

Michael, thank you so much for it all. Your support means the world and I'm so very grateful to know you see me and are there to help. I'm pushing through. I woke up this morning with so much more clarity. The trauma healing series resonated with me so deeply.

Thank you, Michael and Arielle for the email. I am very grateful to be part of my spiritual soul tribe family with Awakened Academy. That is how much I feel for Awakened Academy and all the love.

I feel blessed to have such support and divine souls around me. It takes collective positive energy to raise the vibration on the planet and release the energetic blockages in our lives. Thank you for being a beacon for so many of us.

I wanted to reach out to you with love and deep appreciation for your dear friend Nick Good, and offer my compassion for the loss you've experienced. He was truly a golden-hearted soul. I'm so grateful you've kept his teachings alive in the way you bring this work to the world.

It was extremely refreshing to finish this module today. This session was just what I needed to get back into the flow of my Awakened journey.

I am ready to receive my Level 2 Certification Certificate. I'm truly grateful, thankful, and will continue on to Level 3. Much love and gratitude.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this uplifting message. Every time I read your message it absolutely warms my heart. Blessings to you and your family.

Namaste. Thank you, beautiful Souls. I'm forever grateful, truly blessed to be a part of a community that is so special to my heart, body, and Soul. Thank you, Academy.

Thank you so very much, Arielle. I am grateful to hear from you. Your kind words are most what I need now.

I loved the exercise on the 21 days of giving and receiving. It was very powerful. I did them separately. 21 days of giving and then 21 days of receiving. It has been a life changer. I have voice recorded the Incantations and can play them anytime I choose. I have learned so much. Especially receiving abundantly. I am a recovering people pleaser so giving has always come easy. I realize now that it came at a price. Receiving has been difficult for me. Feeling not worthy, good enough etc. I now feel the beautiful flow of giving and receiving. It is like a dance. This practice has brought me abundance and joy, and freedom.

Just want to thank you again so much for all you both are and do. I am implementing what I can and finding myself backsliding a bit as my job is busier and I need to carve more time. The things I have implemented in creating the best day ever are truly enriching my life and I have made some progress in moving in the direction of my dream and I am living my dharma. It is an ongoing process, yes, eternal.

I used to struggle with knowing my purpose, feeling like I was good at many things but lacking clarity on which direction to take. Awakened Academy helped me focus and understand my true calling. Their simple yet powerful guidance helped me align with my soul's purpose, and now I live it every day with confidence and excitement.

It is one year since I found your youtube videos, funny, while I was looking for information about a Hawaii medical school for my job. I found your living in magic videos that gave me more than any school and job in the world ever could. As soon as I entered into School of Dharma Magic Money Meaning the wealth thermometer has increased in my world outside, and it is happening ever since, opportunities, propositions, projects, it is all really coming together and I am looking forward to everyday like a miracle magic day. Very clearly I know now for sure that my ground is set, I have landed at perfect timing and place to realize and manifest all the treasures I carry, and I cannot wait to go travel all over the world to share all that I am. I am alive, awake and aware, and every second is precious. To realize I am only 28 yrs old and that I am only getting started brings tears to my eyes out of joy and happiness. Loving myself is the best cure and medicine I ever gave myself.

My spiritual journey has been truly magical, my life has completely transformed, and I'm so grateful for everything. I'm currently in Thailand, experiencing a life I once never thought was possible. Thank you so much for believing in me, it means more than I can express. I did take a little break from studying while I've been here, but I'm really looking forward to diving back into it when I get home. Sending love to you all and many blessings.

I discovered my uniqueness was always right in front of me, and I didn't have to go far to find it. Even though I took the long-way round to reach this point, the insight gained is invaluable. I also have learned I am right where I am supposed to be on my timeline, where I used to think I 'missed the boat' for the vision I was given for my life, I've since started to realize, I've been right on schedule this entire time.

Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement! I am so grateful to be supported by you! Thank you for affirming my title, that means so much to me and I kinda needed to hear that! The book writing course in Awakened Academy is gold! I knew one day I'd write a book, but I had no idea it would be now!

My personal business has made significant head way as a result and I am feeling much more confident in my own abilities.

I learned what I truly desire and my hidden skills as well, some are still developing, some are new but they are inside of myself ready to come out fully. Everything has its own timing and day by day I am becoming who I want to be and what I want to leave behind as well. I am so ready to help and support people throughout their journey!

I have this friend who is a childhood friend for about 48 years now. We have both gone through some horrific things and always leaned on each other. Ever since I started with Awakened Academy, I have been able to go deeper within myself on how to cope with a lot of what I went through. So, I have taken all that I have learned so far, to help myself and my really good friend. It is helping us go deep within ourselves to heal.

I received so much clarity in this module. I learned that I went through some of the traumas I did, and overcame, so I can help others overcome traumas as well! I found my light, and can use my story to help others see their true beauty, and be their authentic selves.

I've learned the importance of keeping my spiritual hygiene in check in my day to day practices by remaining present, positive and true to myself and what I am feeling.

This video is incredible!!! Incredibly supportive, healing, informative, hilarious & beautiful! I am so grateful for you, your light & sharing of your experience & serving others. I feel a soul brother in you (& soul sister in your beloved Arielle) & my soul is sooooo excited to come be with you when the time is right!

This was a journey within the journey! I learned that this is my time to blossom. That everything in my life is going according to Divine Plan. I have so much more faith now. And I can see the wisdom through the lessons! I could also see patterns and cycles that come and go through the 3 years periods! The timeline meditation was AMAZING, scary to take that deep of a dive but amazing revelations came through.

I have learned so much. I had also a couple of Ah ha moments where I reminded myself what I love doing the most, so I started making music again.

As I connected all the dots I learned that my choice of careers and moments have all been aligned with purpose so that I gained the knowledge needed to be aligned with the path I was chosen for at this moment.

When I started the Magic Money and Meaning course I had two visions I had been wanting to achieve to get a 4.0, attract 10,000, and to be an Excelsior Fellow. It is a fellowship program with the New York State government working on research and public policy. This past semester I got the 4.0, and earlier this month I was informed they picked people for interviews, but I wasn't one of those people. Last week, one day before the interview, I was selected but never received the e-mail about the location, my professor on the board e-mailed me and told me. Instead of worrying about making it to the interview I surrendered to the highest good, and a little later received an e-mail to reschedule. Turned out to be Tuesday the 11th (2/11) at 11am on the 2nd floor of the library on my campus. I had a great interview, and my professor informed me that when I left the room everyone had already decided I would fill the 7th and last slot and be an Excelsior Fellow, and this fellowship pays six times the amount I wanted to attract. I just feel so blessed.

If you don't become an awakened leader, you'll slowly die from the inside because deep down you're not doing what you need to do. The whole world gets worse, you won't get paid, you'll feel frustrated and burned out, and you'll have no reason to get up in the morning. People are calling to us for help. We are part of an elite group of souls who are here to change the world. Every little thing we do saves other people's lives. We are changing the world by giving people options and possibilities that they themselves couldn't see before.

I found myself stuck at the threshold of the higher vision, unable to break through. But once I courageously dove into shadow work, accepted what I had long rejected, and gave myself the space to process, the resistances lifted. Suddenly, everything began weaving together, the lower and higher aspects integrating into wholeness. The meditations anchored me deeply, and I realized I could arrive at truth with ease and grace, not just with intense energy. Now, I show up for myself, welcome my deeper parts, and hold space for others with compassion. My life has improved drastically, and I REALLY love this program!

The thing that stood out the most about my timeline is the word 'connection'. It is all I have ever wanted ever since I was a kid and I now understand why I stayed in so many painful friendships and relationships for too long in the past. I was craving the connection and intimacy that my childhood lacked. Now that I fully am aware of the importance of connection to me, I am able to start letting go of this need. I also remembered that Nature has been a huge part of my life ever since childhood and it still is.

I'm on this planet to help others learn how to succeed to overcome their blocks by uniting their physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental selves to find their core self and live from that. My timeline showed me that it took until I was about 40 to truly see my path. My most stressful time taught me many things, probably the most important thing is the knowledge that raising my children has given me. It's an amazing feeling to be able as a parent to teach your children to trust their inner guidance and break free from societal conditioning.

I discovered I am a survivor. I am a soul who chose an extremely difficult path through this lifetime for the best possible growth for my soul path. This journey has enabled me to be of the greatest service to those who are in need of empathy and compassion. I can offer this as I myself have experienced many of the experiences many will come to me for, with the hope I can offer them some relief from suffering.

What a beautiful module full of insights! I liked all of it! The book is great, and I loved the "Being the Moon" audios. Those gave another way to step into that "observer" space, which was very helpful. I also enjoyed the interview with Sister Sharona - what a beautiful energy she has! It was great to learn about a different way to view and connect with the Divine. There were so many ah-ha's about how many layers the ego actually has. '3 Seconds to Being Your Higher Self' was a great book to read. I plan to integrate "The Pulse" meditation to my practice.

The best thing about designing my timeline has been to be able to see and feel my inner strength behind the tough moments and phases of my life, in which I acquired resilience. Before I designed my timeline with the peaks and the lower phases, I used to see my struggles as weaknesses. But now that I have gained such clarity, I can only relate to them as my biggest treasure of Wisdom to help me to help others.

I appreciate your fast response and I'm also very appreciative of you. I know most owners of their programs wouldn't write to their customers personally. I'm very grateful that you do that and stand out above the rest. I feel like I'm talking to a good friend who is down to earth with high vibration and consciousness. Very spiritual and loving. You are an amazing man and soul.

I really did enjoy the course and the deep feelings & love for life & the source, even if I couldn't make it with full commitment and filling out all papers everyday. I was first for now concentrating on the audios and meditations. Anyway it is a process for lifetimes and so no need to rush - I need my own pace. I already feel much more liberated. The course is a powerful, exciting and fun process of getting clear about how anyone wants to spend his precious time in the best way to serve life & be happy and charged by knowing his own values, visions and the things that don't serve him. The fact that we don't have to figure it out just by ourselves, instead we can ask god our divine companion to support us, and so we can always ask for divine guidance (which is very relieving).

A few things I took away from this module is enjoying the now. It really spoke to me because I am always looking ahead and not living in the now as much as I should. I also realized how my intentions can always evolve during this journey and not to have such strict expectations on them. I can already feel my intentions shifting just from this first module. I AM willing to awaken all my power and create the life I desire.

I was having trouble with understanding my blueprint, my soul purpose, my dharma. I was told I am meant to teach large group events. When I thought about this, I immediately felt resistance and fears around this, what am I supposed to teach, how do I teach in public when my fear is based around public speaking. Coaching one-on-one is one thing but teaching large groups is another. But after doing this module and the meditations, my answers came to me.

It is no wonder I am where I am today. Through immense reflection and gratitude, I am definitely able to understand where every turn on my path has led me. I have really overcome a lot of obstacles in life, like really really hard times! But I persevered. I got back up and kept moving forward. Every hardship was a great lesson. Although a lot of these hardships came with a great deal of pain, I grew so much strength. I am really proud of myself.

Wow! What an amazing journey! I really took time and sat with all these questions and it was so worth it! The most exciting part about the whole process was discovering the common theme and that the things I'd happily do for 10+ years, enjoy it and doing it just for its own sake are the same. It felt so liberating. The feeling was beautiful. Something that I was looking for for all those years, doing all kinds of this discovery processes, and it never clicked the way it did right now. I'm feeling blissful and content.

Michael...... once again you speak to me in a way I understand!! You get me and I am eternally grateful.

I love hearing Arielle and Michael speak, that's it. It brightens my day. I can just feel more light tapping into their energy. My favorite was the spiritual practice and also the interview with Sharona Stillerman.

I love this course, I look forward to learning more and more. I dedicate the time and place and it quickly has become my magical time. I feel the smile fill my face when it is "study time". Grateful and feeling blessed!

Where I put my time and energy has been a big one for me. It has brought more awareness to different things. I feel like my presence is getting much better. Being a busy mom it's pretty tricky sometimes to focus on my success, but I have come a very long way and I am being shown that a lot now. Super thankful for this course.

I Really Loved the meditations! These were Wonderful! I haven't done guided meditation in awhile. Sometimes they can be hard to connect and sink into but that was not the case with this week's practices. Michael and Arielle both do an Amazing job at producing beautiful space and energy.

I realized that I am happiest learning and teaching deeper meaning of spiritual awareness. Also helping others find their power, their inner glow. My word is peacefulness.

I would be honored and blessed to work with either one of you. I can't possibly express enough gratitude to God for helping me find you and your teaching. It's been an amazing journey so far and I can only imagine what's next. I'm generally up at 5am, new habit thanks to Michael. With all my heart and soul, thank you for helping me see the Light!

You have great wisdom and it is being received by us out there. I worked with you a couple years ago with one of your programs and what you shared was so powerful and worked for me. When people like you do this work on yourself, I believe it trickles into the collective experience, or 'morphic resonance,' paving the way for others to also receive what you have discovered.

It seems you psychically know me already! ('Just read a book all day long if you want…' 'The time and space you need... some people will say you're selfish…') I have always since I can remember been a book worm. I thank you from the heart for all your own years of searching and untold efforts in following your dreams in entirely unique ways to make this world a more beautiful and integrous and dignified place. The true, gentle and heart-centred nature of your work reflects out.

This lesson has been absolutely instrumental for me. I have realized who my clients will be! Who I am best qualified to serve based on the many many past experiences and most importantly Victory of what could otherwise paralyze an individual in past generational trauma loops!

Thank you again for the knowledge I have gained so far so beneficial I am thinking of going to college for business now! Much appreciated.

I knew that I wanted to do coaching but I never would have thought how passionate I really am to serving others and raising the vibration of the planet one person at a time.

My 'Awakening' to the Truth of my Divinity and Eternal Presence has occurred right on 'time'. In the Eternal Realm of Timelessness all is occurring just as it should. I Am That I Am. I Am the I Am Presence.

I have developed a relationship with God/Higher Power that is meaningful to me. I have a spiritual practice that works and I'm enjoying it and developing it. I can release and let go of negative emotions (I know how to do it). I'm ready to raise my level of consciousness.

I do morning prayer and then 20-30 minutes of meditations. I also do extra meditation on Mon, Wed, Friday for 30 minutes at my Yoga studio before doing 1.5 hours of yoga on those days. I've also been doing yoga on my own, developing my own practice, exploring my breath and new asana's. I've incorporated the practice of visualizing God as my father, the Spiritual Sun in Golden Light above me while visualizing myself as light in a sea of lights bathing in the light of God. I do this visualization when I wake up in the morning. I also noticed that I turn a lot in my sleep and use this practice during those times. I share what I learn with my wife, kids, and family. This course so far has helped me with patience with my youngest, while doing homework with her - its actually helped me make this time fun. I've been really looking at life thru the lens as a Super Hero and its really amazing how fascinating life is and how its such a miracle. I try to follow my throughout the day and I'll do alternate nostril breathing if when I went to get more relaxed. My life has improved because I've been able to observe my patterns more affectively. It seems like its helping me organize my life. Below is the story I posted on Facebook: Hi All, I've been churning and digesting what I've learned regarding the lesson on the "Hero's Journey". This has been so fascinating to listen to - I think I've listened to this section 3-4 times already and I plan to listen to it several times more. Its even more interesting when you apply it to your life and really look at your life through this lens. I wanted to share a quick hero's journey that happened to me this weekend when I was taking my teenage daughter to work this Sunday morning. While driving her in, she negatively commented on how weird its been that I've been filling my days with too much spiritual practices. I was very hurt when she said this. I really couldn't believe that she would hurt me and say what she said. It didn't make any sense to me especially since she seemed to be really receptive and supportive when I announced to her that I was going to take this training and I already had several positive discussion with her on what I've learned in this program so far. After dropping her off at work I realized this was the challenge that was described in the "Hero's Journey" lesson. It came so unexpected and almost immediately following the first listen of the lesson. It was really amazing how this lesson helped me organize what had happened. I was able to identify that my daughter, who I that was supportive, shape shifted into the shadow. Her shadow was cast into me and it caused this anger and pain inside. For some reason I could NOT let this anger and pain go. I decided to investigate and face this anger and pain, the shadow, as the hero instead of the victim and really challenge myself to understand why I was angry with her. It was like taking a hero's journey within a hero's journey. I finally realized and was able to see the truth - that deep down inside she really did NOT or would NOT want to hurt me. She basically had a negative thought and expressed it with her speech. Looking back now it seems so simple. It was the weirdest thing though that it took all day to figure this out. I'm so glad I did though - instead of just trying to ignore the anger and pain and act like nothing happened. This gave me a deeper understanding that if we aren't mindful of our thoughts and speech we all can so easily cast shadows into others lives. We can so easily shape shift into different archetypal characters when we aren't mindful and awake. I'm sure I've been guilty of this before - probably many times (I'm also starting to realize think I've created some archetypal characters internally and externally). Anyhow, I also got a deeper understanding of finding forgiveness for others actions. By apply what I've learned from this lesson into my life I've gained this invaluable wisdom I don't think I had before. I plan to use this wisdom that i've learned in the future. I'm still fascinated as I write this. I have so much to learn and I realize I'm just beginning the bigger Hero's Journey.

My current daily rituals are merely holding ymself accountable by doing things that make me operate in the way i want such as drinking plenty of water and making myself go out in nature and meditate atleast once a day even if its not for long i just have to continue to hold my self accountable because i feel good after! I have started by dedicating myself 15 minutes of everything like exercise, meditation, self care, self reflection, and 15 minutes of dedication to my spiritual work whether that be working with my divinity tools such as this program or my tarot readings!I also dedicate myself to help someone else in my life with advice or a reading or in any positive way that they need if my energy is balanced enough to do so! I learned to give myself to myself before i give to others anymore and i have felt the difference! I use the emergent video as a guideline of the ingredients i need to live my best life! I also read my intentions when i wake up in the morning and before i fall asleep! I have noticed improvement in my self worth and self awareness and my motivation and my people pleasing habits! I also have noticed improvement in my self discipline and learned self descernment! For example I used to start my days late and start with a energy drink and slug my way through the day with stress and unneccesary worry more days than i liked. After really absorbing alot of what i have learned i caught myself asking myslef questions like " Is this helping me achieve my desired goals and feelings I want to experience?" My favorite that stuck with me is" Am I willing to feel good and have my life go well all of the time?" So by asking myself those questions I have put it in the forefront of my mind of what can i do on my part to make that possible? So one morning I asked myself that again and chose a organic tea ober my energy drink i wake up a little earlier now and dont just lay in bed i take a shower and go outside and breath for a minute and ask myself what amazing experiences will i have today rather than what is going to go wrong today! so my mindset has changed which is helping change my habits! Even some old friends asked me to go out the other night to go drinking and partyng and used to i would go even tho it wasnt fun for me but now I do not spend my energy with drinking and partying because I believe I have no more lessons i need to learn from partaking with people i really have nothing in common with or dont see my worth. So instead of going with them I went with A genuine person that i had intellectual conversation and shared stories with. Instead I fed my soul rather than starving it with meaningless interactions. I listen to my feeling more if i do not feel like i can be my true authentic self i will not linger around for my energy to be depleted.

When I realized I was on my spiritual journey and needed to make changes I relocated and I remember sitting with things making the decision if I should keep it or donate it. Well I donated 80% off my house and only took 20% with me. It felt so good to release all these things that I had been holding onto(energy). Now I'm conciously aware of making sure everything has a designated place in my home. About 6 months ago I created a Pyramid my little sacred space within my home where I go to play my singing bowls, journal, mediate sage, etc\.... I feel more focus, free, at peace and happy without all the things and the titles. The Ahha moment I learned from this module is that classical music is high vibe and can have an effect on a low vibrational frequency.

I have decided not to do practise sessions because I have been coaching people for the past 9 years in my guiding work. The way I coached in my guiding work was different and now I have more tools to use from what I have learnt in the course. I am preparing everything to start coaching straight away. My coaching will focus more on transformation than on getting things done because I have realised that once the person has changed, it happens much more easily that they get done what they need to. I have moved the name away from spiritual coaching to transformational coaching. I have set up my German website now and am working on the contract for the coaching sessions. I have decided on my pricing and prepared a session on self care as I find it important for the client to look at how they are treating themselves. I have prepared the coaching tools document so I have it ready when I need it. In my every day life, I can see the clients already approaching me. People are interested in what I do and curious as well. They know I am writing a book and are already waiting for it to be released. The same with the coaching, I seem to encounter more and more people who are interested in my work. Listen carefully what is being said. Take notes and learn from the session. Learn from what works and doesn't. I've realised that I do no longer need to acquire knowledge and wait until I start coaching. Since I have worked without clients before, I feel it is time for me to start. I prepared the documents I need to have available as reminder of the tool I can use. My confidence has grown without me actually doing anything about it. It has just been a change in consciousness. I wrote on my website what I offer and am surprised that I feel confident to help people in this where a few weeks ago I was still feeling doubtful and nervous.

I am very grateful for finally implementing some supportive and more organized habits. I finally created my, even though still free and open, but supportive schedule supporting my new goals in much focused way. - Time with God - Awakened Academy - Money Mindset - Creation (write, art, other) I realized how much unorganized I was and that I was actually wasting my time all around and I couldn't stop it. It was because I didn't know how to create my own schedule to support me and eventually, I wasn't willing to follow any. But those times are history now and I finally made the commitment to do whatever it takes to succeed in my dreams and goals and I finally feel like I am willing to do the hard work and learn to take action - consciously pushing through resistance. As I mentioned above, I'm doing my best to implement all those new shifts and commitments into my daily life. I'm making the effort to work on my limiting beliefs and push through them. I created my schedule and I feel very motivated and happy to tick the boxes. I found it very supportive because I feel like I accomplished something. Before I did this simple act of ticking a box, I was actually doing a lot and working really hard but I always felt like it wasn't enough and it felt like I didn't do anything much. Ticking the boxes helps me see clearly what I actually did and so I started to praise myself and celebrate the tiny little things and it just brought so much more peace and joy. Also, I've been working on checking with my willingness to change and take action and to wholeheartedly commit to taking action and applying what I learnt. I still have not been able to take action in areas that matter the most to me but I'm working on changing and empowering my beliefs first. I am super happy about starting doing Earthing more regularly. In fact I decided to do it every day no matter what the weather would be. And I'm just so grateful for that because it truly calms my mind and brings so much peace and connection with all that is.

I had an "aha" moment that, for me, equates to clarity and thus "improvement". Awakened Academy's process of looking within ourselves deeply has made me aware of something I didn't realize before. Michael and Arielle talk much about living the life you desire NOW. I realized that I already am living much of my intention even now! I am very happy! I have grown so much through the years! I have raised three daughters and am working on my 13 year old still. I have a very happy marriage. I am surrounded by friends. And I am CEO of my own non-profit organization that leads a group of fifty or more women each semester. I long to use my gifts, strengths, and personal growth to help and encourage others. And I have been longing for my husband to come home from his work and do it with me! This deep pondering and re-asking myself the same questions led me to realize that my intentions are for the freedom of my husband from his job. But my husband loves his job! He is happy there! It's like one of my focal points was trying to fix something that wasn't even broken! I wanted him to have what I have - freedom and flexibility. There is no pressure. Life is good\... NOW! But I want to use my life for the blessing and good of others. And I want to create a business of coaching, etc. that produces income for me and brings life to others! Good to get a little clearer on the truth. Though I was already aware of the 80/20 rule to some measure, the exercise of writing down my actions every 30 minutes was pretty eye opening\... and stressful, I might add. :) I found myself saying, "hurry, hurry! It shouldn't take you that long to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_!" I enjoy not "pushing", but rather rolling with the rhythms of life. Something about this exercise made me feel I was "on the clock". Needless to say, accurate journaling from sun up to sun down revealed a lot! The Mud, the Gold, and the Diamond is thought provoking. I am still trying to figure out exactly what my Gold and Diamond are. I spend a lot of time still taking care of my family and home. I intend to spend more time this weekend reviewing my action journal and thinking about my Mud, Gold, and Diamond. I have definitely detoxed, even prior to starting AA. I know I am being led on a new path and have already let go of some things prior to starting this journey. Forgiveness has always been important in my life, but I have definitely learned the practice of meditation since starting AA to help release the negative emotions that arise. This has helped amazingly! Interestingly, the talk about "loose ends" had me cleaning out my husband's and my closet while listening to the talk about making your home a heaven. I'm already a believer of this principle and live it strongly in my life. But hearing Michael and Arielle talk about getting rid of things just had me tossing things without hesitation!

Today (and every day really), I've been receiving beautiful blessings! I always notice these but today was different because I received a 'thanks' and appreciation from one of my students. As a matter of fact, this is happening more and more. The turning point here is that I stopped and felt how wonderful this receiving was; I then sent a big thank you of gratitude to the Universe for this gift I received. On my walk, the scent of my late grandma wafted in the air. I closed my eyes and smiled, thanking the Universe for the beautiful gift. The Universe speaks to me though feathers (biggest one!), repeating angel numbers, and coins. I found a penny and a beautiful feather from a Blue Jay today. Each time, I sent gratitude to the Universe for these precious gifts. I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson! I love to give but feel so awkward receiving. I knew this lesson held special value and insights for me. To let go and allow the Universe to do the heavy lifting make so much sense. We no longer have to worry or fret over the outcome. We can rest easy and be assured all will work out for the highest good for all involved. And if you think about it - that typically how things work out anyway. Sometimes what we perceive as "bad" turns out to be something really amazing, beyond what we could have created or imagined on our own. That's the magic of the Universe. I'm currently reading, The Light-Workers Companion, the following speaks to exactly what was shared in the Giving and Receiving module. "You will get to a stage, if you haven't already, where you remember to stop and smell a rose or feel fresh ocean air. Many human incarnates rush through their days without realizing there have been thousands of priceless situations where they had an experience and yet barely noticed at all." We sometimes miss the very thing we've prayed for because we are not experiencing life. We're merely drudging though it, mindlessly without conscious thought to the wonder, bliss, and blessings all around us. Before my awakening, I barely noticed this stuff at all. However, through my current practice, combined with the tools and resources shared by Arielle and Michael, I can truly say, I notice small things. Unexpected kindness from a stranger, unexpected generosity, unexpected prosperity, or thoughtful gesture I was not expecting, The magic (and wonder) of it all has led me to a delicious place of genuine happiness and bliss! I have felt my connection with Divine grow exponentially which has led to my own personal and spiritual growth. I cannot wait to serve others; I want everyone (who is willing) to shed the stale and experience this fresh, exhilarating and peaceful life. Living their dharma, reaching the highest level of consciousness possible so they too an witness the magic, beauty, bliss and freedom of it all! It be only a small grasp away. In the past, I've been terrible at receiving, but that ENDS today! For some reason it feels awkward and weird to receive. So, I reflected upon this myth. As a child my father was a tough love dad; I did not hear many "I love you," not was there a tremendous amount of affection. While my dad gave (roof over head, food, clothes, tradition support, how to stand on my own two feet), it was not the kind of giving you expect from a father or the receiving I witnessed from my girlfriends father. "People like to give; allow them to give to you - allow yourself to receive." This was incredibly power for me. I never thought of giving in that way. I realized I've been denying those who love me the opportunity to truly give because I could not receive. I'm also very stubborn and have a 'I can do it myself' attitude which needs to be done away with. A whole new perspective! I am so grateful.

My daily health rituals involve stretching, drinking hot herbal tea once or twice a day, giving love to my cat, meditating on my dreams and goals while I am driving, giving thanks to God for providing me with everything I need, eating raw or cooked vegetables, drinking as much water as I can, going to work at the Garden Center that I am so blessed to work at, working on my awakened academy lessons, and working on my new book. These are the main most important rituals that keep me healthy and happy. :)) My life has improved after being educated on the hero's journey because before starting this academy, I had already begun to study my life and its messages and synchronicities and I had been referring to this experience as just that: studying my life. Now I know the official label of the hero's journey and it makes so much sense to me and it is fantastic to finally understand why each day of my life for the past year or so has felt like another day in the adventure/mission of my life. It helps me understand why certain betrayals must happen in life so that we can learn the gift of loss through shadow characters and tricksters. People have taught me that God does not just bless us by giving us what we want, He blesses us tremendously by removing things from our lives, such as shapeshifters, shadow people, and tricksters. They are all supporting characters in my hero's journey and they all did a job and taught lessons.

I go to bed early/wake up early (5AM most days) and I have matcha tea, meditate, journal, read or study (intentional learning). I have a healthy breakfast and begin my day. Every day I get in movement (20 minutes of running or 30 minutes+ of walking in nature); I do yoga once a week or go to a forest preserve once a week (and have incorporated earthing). These rituals help me move forward in feeling good via taking care of my health (emotional, mental, physical, spiritual wellness) and doing an hour morning ritual sets the mindful tone for the day. I would say my life definitely has improved. I ask myself, "Am I willing to prep my food to ensure I am eating clean and enjoying the benefits of healthy nutritious food?" In response, I have said 'yes' and I have also said 'yes' to my willingness to change via drinking matcha tea, simplifying my recipes/food menu and planning out my clean eating meals. I haven't had sugar in 2 weeks and I am feeling very good in my body. No anxiety and I'm pretty sure all my chakras are clear! I've given myself the gift of spending time in nature, going to new walking trails and taking my time to enjoy them. I have even read my notes from the academy as I am walking in the woods instead of telling myself I needed to study inside and then go to the woods 'when I have time.' With my shoes off and odd stares, I know I'm evolving more :) I feel so alive, free, happy, safe, joyful. Everything I am learning, I am also applying with my counseling clients (utilizing my own spice blend/tailoring it to clts level of consciousness/needs/personality, etc.). I think writing out my old story (in 3rd person), recognizing truths, and writing a new story was very helpful. I discovered some upper limit problems in my own life and I think I have freed myself from them, with the help of this module :) I mapped out how I could increase my income over time and I now have bigger dreams that are in the making. I no longer have the same money scarcity mindset.

My dad took his own life at the start of this year. To say it shook me up would be an understatement. I have been processing, and integrating, only to process and integrate some more. Him leaving this world the way he chose to was the most eye opening experience for me, and it has turned out to be a profoundly positive transformation. It has led me to deeply question what matters most: questions like, why any of us are here, specifically why AM I HERE. I began to question what I believe to be true about everything.

Everything has improved! Well other then money but that's coming! I have a purpose! I am writer! I know that Michael had mentioned on our call that I should think of myself as a writer. I think I giggled! Now I have to get cracking!!! I feel pretty awesome right now! Much of this module I have already completed. Since my move in June of last year I removed a good portion of people in my life. So I feel pretty fresh. I got my health on track and I am not currently working. My home is completely gone through and much was tossed or given away. Nothing was weighing me down. Until I was starting to self doubt this whole plan. I should have felt it coming but I didn't catch it. Just nothing felt right. I didn't want to paint or draw or do anything creative. I was starting to miss my clients and that one on one feeling when you help others. I started to worry that maybe I made a huge mistake and I should just go get my esthetician license. That seemed so easy though and nothing about it scared me. And I know if it doesn't scare you a bit it really isn't your calling. But I can't just not do anything. I realize now when I was writing my challenges I was pretty caught up in that mindset. And Arielle so lovingly gave me the next mission and reminded me not to give up. I got the very books she advised and went to tackle some of my lost childhood issues. Going through this was a gift for sure. Soon after this my 17 year dog tragically past away. It was just a horrible situation that I don't want to go into. It was gut wrenching and took me out for a bit. Since I was already releasing leftover bits of my childhood, this loss was a huge hit. I cried for days and days! I realized after I came out of it just how much time and energy I had spent on this little dog. Everyday was spent on making sure she was good. At her age she had been a handful. Since she was with me for those 17 years I just did for her as I would my children. Not realizing how much of my time was wrapped up in her until her not being there. I would have done again in heartbeat.But I have much more awareness about it now.

In general a deeper feeling of relaxation with a growing feeling of confidence, peace, and expanded soul awareness. The regular affirming emails from raja yoga are very nice. And the Best Year of Year Life PDF practice(s) & resources are an amazing gift. Just opening that email I got blasted with Love. This Awakened Detox could not have come for me at a better time. I actually have gone through this section twice in the last year. This year I divorced (9 hearings!) after 35 years of marriage, quit my job of 10 years, move to a new home. I still have 30+ sealed & dated boxes in the garage that I will go through (or not). But my new space is an amazing place for recovering mentally, emotionally & physically from all the changes I went through this year. It is also an amazing space for creating. I think the biggest help in all this has been from the various insights I gained from your raja yoga course & the joy found in establishing an embodied relationship with the Divine through meditation, prayer & journaling & other practices. With it, I have felt a welding/integrating of all my spiritual studies. I love the simplicity and far-reaching benefits of the practice of remembrance. Thank you so much for offering this. Another ah-ha is realizing how much insightful information I missed the first time around in studying this material. I am now re-reading the Golden Life book with new eyes for a second time.

Every morning before I do yoga, I do a breath technique by Wim Hof, then go right into a couple of back to back meditations on light and then abundance. It starts the day off with the right state of mind and with a body full of vital life force. Focusing on myself as #1 at first felt selfish. But now I realize that to love myself fully is the best first thing I can do, then I can fully love the ones that are most important to me. And that is happening. Also, insecurities that I've battled with for a very long time have fallen away.

I am more focused on my goals. I have created a spiritual routine that I find myself actually being consistent with as well as becoming more excited to get the day started. My mindset and how I look at my situation become more positive every day and I am eager to change my thought pattern and see where it takes me. I've learned to let go of limiting beliefs while trying to accomplish a goal. I wrote down everything that has been bothering me and learned what's stopping me from moving forward. As I realize my thought pattern I can transform those old negative thoughts into positive ones while learning to surrender more. I also am seeing more clarity within myself on where my thoughts and pattern originated from and now that I can see that I catch myself when a limiting belief arises and it becomes more easier to accept and change it.

WOW! What a Roller Coaster of breakthroughs and intense moments! I have literally experienced a Hero's Journey with my 2 21-day challenges. So many incredible results!

First thing I do when I wake up is Meditate - then I have my coffee and journal about whatever comes up - Listening to my moduals have become part of my daily routine on the way to work and they make me feel so good - I love to walk my dog at the end of the day and enjoy a meal and company with my husband and friends - Every weekend I rest, sleep and take care of myself to prepare for the next week. I feel like I have mastered some of the tools to feeling more secure with myself, knowing that I already have all of the things I "dream" of having one day and that I will never have to suffer without them because they exist inside. I have been trying to look at my life like its a movie on the heros journey and everything has its perfect place, even the people that I think are there to disrupt my journey have a very special part in this path.

I start off with gratitude and then a prayer on my knees. I read my various scriptures and affirmations while listening to some Zen music. Then I head to the gym. The daily rituals have centered my life and I catch myself when negativity and unwarranted vibes come my way. I am still in the office and when individuals come with a spirit of negativity, I remind myself of how grateful I am to be in alignment with who I am and Whose I am. Prior to this practice, I would be in the head space of letting them have a piece of my mind.

I am not only doing this course to help my clients, but for me to change as well. At the same time, I feel the necessity to go back for meditation, or I need to refresh something from any pillar to make the changes in myself to grow and improve, to better help others. I found this very helpful because I am coaching kids from 4 years old and up that have ADD, ADHD, OCD, Autism, anxiety and panic attack, and this course is good for everybody in any age. I never expect to help children, but I realized that they are absorbing all the energies from their parents at such a young age. Thank you, because all that I learned from you is both helping me and them. Every time that a parent thanks me for my job with their child, I thank God for putting you in my life.

I am the happiest that I have ever been. My life is heaven on earth. I live in this world, but I am not of it. I have never fit in… and this has been my key to Awakening. I have learned how to heal myself, how to love myself, how to allow my Soul to lead my life, my body, my heart, and my mind. I have embraced my differences, knowing that they are gifts to be grateful for. I have learned that I am perfect as I am. I live every moment in a space of presence. I make decisions in each moment and I allow my destiny to unfold perfectly, without knowing what is next. I thrive in the unknown. I am happy & compassionate, and I am living my dharma. I am Awake.

It's who I am. I have to. The past 7 years my Soul has Pushed to Wake my Human. During this time the weight to serve was Enormous! Finally Awaken. Finally An understanding. Finally Can live my Authentic self! Yes, indeed I ask How Can this NOT MAKE MY LIFE BETTER? Spiritual life coach… I mean What better Job than to HELP others in the most Incredible way. How blessed are we to know? I will make a difference because now I'm awake. This is going to Help me Climb to the tallest mountain and be able to scream As loud as possible to spread the word and the excitement that there's more, so so much more! I can't wait.

I am experiencing great success as a Spiritual Life Coach, and I know I would not have been able to achieve this if I had not committed to this program.

Thanks to Awakened Academy I have finally found the courage to live from the heart, and make some big life changes, which has made my dreams possible. A big THANK YOU Arielle, Michael and the team!

My favourite part to this module was creating your Not to do list! How exciting! I am so excited by this. I feel such bountiful freedom and expansiveness. Everyday it is improving, there are challenging days as you filter through things that no longer serve you however I am totally committed to creating a much easier life for myself and flowing with a state of grace to opportunities and connections.

I absolutely LOVE this program and find its value much higher in my life than what I paid!

I'm in the program and it's the best decision I've ever made 🌻 I've been blown away at how this program teaches. Worth every penny.

My life has improved in so many ways during this module that it has been my favorite one yet. It has helped me in facing my fears and confronting suppressed emotions that I had felt the need to heal for a long time.

So much here is world changing! I wish every person and child and teenager had complete this program before taking on life!

I have thought deeply about my true values and what they are. I now have a clear focus on my goals.

This is the most beautiful program that is taught by two beautiful souls. I am just beginning my journey and feel so blessed to be a part of this Academy. The support, love and encouragement you receive from the teachers is absolutely amazing.

Ever since I signed up for this journey, my life has already began to be magical, the synchronicities have been phenomenal! This so far has been a life changer for me. Yes, I have had some challenges, but as I'm learning, or remembering this I can see it everywhere in my life, past and present. I will definitely listen to this one again, because I was stuck on that these archetypes were typically how a person was all the time, but now understanding that a person can have many of these archetypes at different times (not just ppl, that was new to me, but I get it.) I really could see how this works in past situations I have been in. Clarity is what this brings to me.
