  • 163. The Science Behind Hypnosis: What’s Really Going On in Your Brain?
    Nov 18 2025

    Hello friends! Michelle here — the “mind power” half of Mind Power Meets Mystic.

    This week, Cinthia has the day off, so I’m taking the mic to nerd out with you about one of my favorite topics: the science of hypnosis.

    In this episode, I explore what’s really happening in your mind and brain during hypnosis, including:

    • The three foundational elements of hypnosis: dissociation, absorption, and suggestion

    • Why these natural processes show up every day in your normal life

    • How your brainwave patterns shift from beta into alpha and beyond

    • What fMRI studies — especially the groundbreaking 2016 study by Dr. David Spiegel at Stanford — reveal about how hypnosis changes neural activity

    • Common myths about hypnosis and why they’re simply untrue

    • How self-hypnosis and recorded sessions help you create new neural pathways

    • Real stories from clients who’ve transformed sleep, confidence, exercise habits, and more

    If you’ve ever wondered whether hypnosis is scientific, effective, or “real,” this episode breaks it all down in a clear and friendly way.

  • 162. Heart of the Home: What Your House Energy Says About You
    Nov 13 2025
    Episode Summary:

    In this solo episode, Cinthia breaks down the energetic anatomy of your home — the “heart,” the “stomach,” and the homes that mysteriously have neither. She explains how your home mirrors you, how its energy influences your mood, motivation, and clarity, and how you can intentionally create the energetic center your home might be missing.

    What We Cover:
    • What the “Heart of the Home” really is
    • How house energy connects to the chakra system
    • The difference between a heart house, a stomach house, and a no-center house
    • Why your home reflects your inner world (even when you don’t want it to)
    • How to intuitively identify your home’s energetic center
    • What to do if your home doesn’t have one
    • Simple ways to create or strengthen the heart of your home
    • How your home and you are in an energetic agreemen
    • Why house energy can shift your emotional and spiritual wellbeing

    Cinthia’s House Healing Insight:

    Your home is always responding to you.

    Your mood, your stress, your joy, your denial — it all shows up in the energy of your space. When you understand whether your home has a heart, a stomach, or neither, you understand how to work with that energy instead of fighting it. And when you shift your home, you shift your life.

    Takeaways:
    • The heart of the home isn’t a room — it’s a feeling.
    • A stomach-centered home isn’t “bad”; it’s driven, focused energy.
    • A home with no center can be healed by creating a dedicated energetic anchor.
    • You and your home are in a relationship — it mirrors everything you bring into it.
    • Intuition is your best tool for reading your space.

    Nov 10 2025

    In this episode, Mind Power meets big-hearted bold action. Michelle and Cinthia welcome speaker, coach, and community-builder Tracie Root, founder of the Gather Community and host of the Bold and Brilliant Podcast.

    We explore what it really means to build community—beyond Facebook groups and networking mixers. Tracie shares how connection, presence, compassion, and bold forward motion anchor the 4th Chakra (the Heart Center) and create the foundation for thriving personal and business communities.

    We dive into:

    • The origin story of the Gather Community (yes, including its transformation after lockdown)
    • What true community feels like (hint: it’s not just “being in the same room”)
    • Why empathy, support, and shared elevation are the glue
    • The courage it takes to reinvent and actually step into leadership
    • And the fun, playful, creative side of Tracie that keeps everything vibrantly human

    Takeaways:

    • Community is not a platform — it’s people uplifting people.
    • The heart chakra invites presence, belonging & trust.
    • Leadership is simply choosing to show up in your power, again and again.
