Your Breath Is Your Medicine with Niraj Naik
Take Back Your Mind
Niraj Naik is a former U.K. pharmacist who left the pill-for-every-ill treadmill after a debilitating autoimmune illness forced him to rethink healing from the ground up. He restored his health through breathwork, meditation, music, and nutrition—and founded SOMA Breath, a method that fuses ancient pranayama with modern science and rhythm-based music to reduce anxiety, boost resilience, and reconnect people with purpose. With protocols now under study at Cambridge University, his mission is to awaken the body’s “inner pharmacy,” one breath at a time. Note: This episode includes a...

Today, Michael welcomes Colette Baron-Reid. Colette is an internationally respected author, artist, educator, spiritual intuitive, medium, and oracle expert. Her best-selling books and oracle cards are published worldwide in 27 languages. She is the founder of Oracle School, a global online learning platform with students in 35 countries, where self-empowerment, co-creation, and ancient oracles meet in a modern, contemporary way. She’s also the creator of the energy psychology technique, “Invision—The Total Mindshift Process.” Her latest book, co-authored with Anna Denning, titled The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality, was recently released through Hay House.
Conversation insights include:
-Colette’s origin story: childhood claircognizance, inherited trauma, and the path from addiction to nearly 40 years sober through spiritual practice
-Discovering the “neuro-arts” and how drawing engages new brain circuits so the body “knows it’s real”
-Avoiding the “is it here yet?” trap; celebrate as if it’s happening now and surrender the timing and form
-You keep what you become. Visioning asks: Who must I be? What vibration must I hold to stabilize my results? Plus, a “how to doodle your destiny” live demo
-Rewiring expectation: your brain looks for what you believe—this is where practical mysticism meets neuroplasticity
-Breaking the matrix of fear by radiating compassion where you live and carrying your own “atmosphere”
-With practice, joy becomes your baseline—events pass through but your awareness remains steady
-Collette’s Oracle School: Four-month training using oracle cards for reflection and “next right action” (not prediction)
-Spotlighting *The Art of Manifesting* book with Colette and Anna Denning
Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on choosing joy, feeling ‘all needs met now,’ and giving thanks.
