Awaken Your Authentic Self

What if the life were taught to chase...is the very thing blocking your soul's purpose?

In this deeply transformational episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, we explore spiritual awakening, ancestral healing, conscious education, and New Earth living with author, former educator, and visionary Queen D. Michele.

After years in the traditional education system, Queen Michele made a radical, soul-led decision: she left her career, moved to Mexico, and began a journey that would reconnect her with her Fula ancestry in West Africa, reshape her understanding of purpose, and inspire her to create a revolutionary AI-driven conscious curriculum for Generation Alpha.

This conversation is for you if you've been feeling:

• Called to leave the "old path" behind
• Disconnected from your deeper purpose
• Curious about your ancestral healing and lineage work
• Concerned about the future of our children and education
• Drawn to the concept of New Earth consciousness

🌍In This Episode, We Explore:

• The spiritual breaking point that led to leaving a 27-year career
• What it really means to move abroad vs. moving inward
• The truth abouth Generation Alpha's mental, emotional, and spiritual needs
• How reconnecting to your ancestral lineage can accelerate healing
• Queen Michele's journey to Guinea-Bissau and discovering her Fula roots
• The creation of a conscious, AI powered curriculum for children
• What "New Earth" actually looks like in everyday life (not just spiritually, but practically)
• How to begin living in alignment with your soul- right now

We are living in a time where:

• Traditional systems (education, career paths, identity structures) are collapsing
• AI is rapidly reshaping how we learn and live
• A new generation-Generation Alpha-requires a completely different level of awareness, support and consciousness

This episode bridges ancient wisdom (ancestral remembrance) with future-forward tools (AI, conscious education)-offering a grounded yet expansive perspective on what it means to live, parent, and lead in this new era.

What if past life regression, ancestral trauma healing, and soul-level hypnotherapy could explain the anxiety you feel today, the relationship patterns you keep repeating, or the sense that you're blocked from your purpose?

In this episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, Host Jessica Rooks sits down with Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist Craig Meriwether to explore how past lives, ancestral patterns, and the soul's journey across incarnations may shape the challenges we experience in this lifetime.

Craig shares insights from over a decade of guiding people through past life regression, life-between-lives sessions, ancestral healing, and spirit guide connections. Together we explore how unresolved experiences from other lifetimes - or inherited generational patterns - can create emotional, mental, and energetic blocks in the present.

In this conversation we explore:

• What past life regression is and how it works
• How ancestral healing can shift generational trauma and family patterns
• Life-between-lives regression and the soul's journey between incarnations
• Connecting with spirit guides and higher wisdom through hypnosis
• The soul's perspective on trauma, anxiety, depression, and life purpose
• How regression hypnotherapy can support deep spiritual awakening and healing

Craig Meriwether is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and founder of Sacred Mystery Hypnotherapy. Through his work, he helps clients access deep subconscious healing through past life regression, trauma healing, ancestral clearing, and spiritual guidance so they can release soul-level blocks and live more aligned with their true purpose.

Spiritual awakening, angel communication, and quantum manifestation are not abstract spiritual ideas - they are skills you can develop. In this powerfull episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, angel communicator, and quantum activation guide Seph Dietlin shares the 4-step angel communication method he has used for over 20 years to receive angel guidance, decode divine messages, and manifest real-world miracles.

After a life-changing moment in 2002 when he demanded the angels prove themselves, Seph began a daily dialogue with angelic intelligence that reshaped his understanding of consciousness, manifestaton, and the quantum nature of reality.

In this conversation, we explore how angel communicaton actually works, how to recognize the difference between intuition and imagination, and how divine guidance can help you collapse old timelines, shift your quantum identity, and manifest a new reality aligned with your soul's purpose.

Seph breaks down his powerful 4-Phase Miracle Method for manifestation and angel guidance:

• Tuning into angelic intelligence
• Receiving angelic messages clearly
• Acting on divine guidance in the physical world
• Staying aligned with higher consciousness and your true self

You'll also discover how empaths and spiritually sensitive people are being called to play a powerful role in the collective spiritual awakening happening right now.

If you've ever wondered:

• How to communicate with angels in a practical, grounded way
• How angel guidance and divine messages really work
• How to manifest miracles through spiritual alignment and quantum manifestation
• Whether your intuition is real divine guidance or just your imagination

...this conversation will open an entirely new way of relating to the unseen realms supporting your life.

This episode explores the intersection of angel communication, spiritual awakening, manifestation, multidimensional consciousness, and quantum identity - and how to apply these insights to create tangible change in your everyday reality.

Are you trying to think your way out of a feeling?

In this powerful episode on Somatic Healing, we explore how to clear energy blockages, release stored trauma, and regulate your nervous system with Chi Master Banya Lim.

If you've been feeling stuck despite doing the mindset work, the answer may not be in your thoughts- it may be in your body. Somatic healing teaches us that trauma, stress, and generational patterns are stored physically in the nervous system. Until they are released, true alignment remains out of reach.

Banya Lim, a multi-generational healer and creator of the Chi Mastery System, joins Jessica Rooks to bridge ancient energy medicine with modern emotional health. Together they explore how clearing energetic blockages can shift your business, relationships, and personal well-being faster than strategy alone.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What Somatic Healing really is and how it works
• How trauma gets stored in the body and impacts your nervous system
• The difference between intuition and anxiety
• Why midset coaching fails when the body is dysregulated
• How to release generational trauma through body-based healing
• Practical somatic tools to clear negative energy and restore Chi
• Banya's personal story of collapse, spiritual awakening, and rebuilding

If you are ready to stop forcing life and start aligning with your body's wisdom, this episode will show you how.
