This week's guest is Brandon Bozarth,  the founder of Integrated Somatic Inquiry (ISI), a process that deals with the root cause of our mental/emotional suffering and physical disease. 

Dropping out of college to pursue network marketing, he found success but felt unfulfilled. After experiencing a raft of medical conditions he was unable to resolve, Brandon discovered German New Medicine in his quest to heal. This modality offers a radical new perspective on the nature of disease and recovery.

After an apprenticeship with a renowned mentor, Brandon experienced intense, hands-on healing work. Witnessing profound transformations, he decided to launch his own practice.

Brandon now helps others achieve meaningful change in their lives, with his clients having seen improvements in and have resolved depression, cancer, arthritis, psychosis, anxiety, skin rashes, grief, IBS and many other psycho-somatic symptoms.

I'll be honest: This conversation took me way out of my comfort zone. When I started this podcast, I committed myself to breaking open the range of topics we could discuss in a business context. I never expected that to include talking with angels!

Michael is a highly compelling guest with scintillating tales of encounters with angels of all kinds.

If you want to expand your notion of how this realm might operate and what's really going on in the fifth dimension, this is the episode for you.
