Becoming Who We’re Meant to Be: Co-Creating a New Earth Through Mindful Living and Conscious Connection
When the world feels uncertain, what do we anchor into?
When old systems begin to crumble, what rises in their place?
And how do we move through global transition with grace?
In this rich, heart-centered conversation between Michele Rae and host Amy Patti, we are reminded that transformation—while often uncomfortable—is the sacred process of becoming. As Michele shares, we are not only witnessing change—we are the ones co-creating it.
🌍 The Crisis as Catalyst
This dialogue begins with an honest recognition of the times we’re living in. While originally recorded in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the insights are timeless. Michele calls this moment a “birthquake”—a planetary shake-up that’s revealing what no longer serves us and making space for something new to emerge.
We are moving from a fear-based, scarcity-driven paradigm into one rooted in connection, compassion, and conscious choice. Michele highlights this as both a personal and collective evolution, offering a framework that honors the complexity of our inner lives while inviting us into empowered co-creation.
💫 A New Era of Consciousness
Michele draws from her book Living from the Center Within: Co-Creating Who You Are Becoming to describe the three stages of consciousness:
- The Individual Self – Where we view ourselves as separate, striving to be “good citizens” within external systems.
- The Interconnected Self – Where we begin to feel the energy around us, attune to the needs of others, and recognize our place within a larger whole.
- The Infinite Self – Where duality dissolves, and we live in flow—guided by intuitive wisdom and unity consciousness.
These stages are not rigid steps but living invitations. The more we align with our center, the more available we become to receive insight, act in service, and move from love instead of fear.
🌱 The Role of the Modern Healer and Leader
For those called to healing, leadership, or teaching—especially during times of great change—Michele offers grounding guidance. She speaks to the importance of creating containers where the “upper room” conversations can unfold: sacred spaces where those attuned to the new earth can support one another, share insights, and amplify the frequencies of compassion and clarity.
As she says, “We are the transmitters.” When we cultivate coherence and presence within, we influence the energetic field around us. We become acupuncture points for planetary healing—grounding divine energy into the Earth and reflecting a more loving way of being back to the world.
🧘♀️ Mindfulness as a Transformational Tool
One of the most powerful practices Michele shares is mindfulness: the capacity to bring our full attention to the present moment with compassion and curiosity.
Living mindfully allows us to:
- Re-center when we feel emotionally or physically triggered
- Choose our responses instead of reacting from fear or conditioning
- Build resilience in the nervous system through daily presence
- Expand our capacity to feel joy, sorrow, and everything in between without bypassing
Mindfulness is not just a personal healing tool—it’s a portal to unity. Whether it’s through breathwork, ritual, nature connection, meditation, or movement, mindful practices root us in our own center so we can meet the world with love instead of defense.
Honoring the Body as Messenger
Michele and Amy both speak to the importance of embodiment in the transformation process. While the mind may race or resist, the body always tells the truth. By noticing our physical responses—tightness, fatigue, tears, clenching—we gain powerful cues about when we’re out of alignment and what needs tending.
Practices that bring us into the body (such as yoga, dance, or somatic work) help transmute discomfort into awareness, and awareness into choice.
🕊 A Closing Blessing
Near the end of the conversation, Michele offers a guided meditation filled with imagery of resurrection, renewal, and radiant love. She invites us to breathe deeply, release what no longer serves, and open to the divine light that flows in and through each of us. Her words are not only soothing—they’re activating.
And in her closing message, Michele reminds us of something profound:
“Now is the time to live up to your absolute highest potential. It’s not a time to hide or play small. The more you shine, the more you invite others to do the same.”
💖 This Is Our Invitation
This conversation is a call to remember who we are beneath the noise and chaos: lightworkers, wisdom holders, sacred space-keepers, and visionaries. As we become more mindful, more loving, and more aligned, we help midwife a new earth—not someday, but now.
This is not the end of a chapter.
It’s the beginning of a story we get to write together.
