Cynthia Rivard shares her journey from executive boardrooms and raising four children to following the breadcrumbs to the spiritual space via channeling this week on Spirit Gym.

The practice of meditation is a safe and gentle way to liberate you from the noise and rebuild your inner peace and calm.

Yet, it takes a lot of work to master it, and what you may learn about yourself once you get there — depending on how much you’ve stuffed down into your unconscious mind — may be painful…

CHEK Practitioner Michael Holt describes some of the uncomfortable truths about meditation that no one will tell you unless/until you do the work this week on Spirit Gym.

You’ve probably heard of chemtrails, those visible white streaks trailing behind planes spewing all sorts of chemical trails into the atmosphere, for a long time.
