In this powerful episode of Cosmic Confluence, host Sana is joined by Susan Michel—author, suicide prevention advocate, and a longtime student of A Course in Miracles. Susan shares her deeply personal journey from surviving two suicide attempts to embracing spiritual healing and emotional transformation. With wisdom drawn from her book Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity, she discusses how true joy arises not from avoiding pain but from courageously owning and processing it. This episode dives into themes like trauma, emotional repression, spiritual bypassing, and the transformative power of forgiveness. It’s a raw, heartfelt, and hopeful conversation that reminds listeners: healing begins when we stop hiding our wounds.

About the Guest: Susan Michel is a two-time suicide survivor and the author of Surrender to Joy. Her story is one of resilience, transformation, and deep spiritual awakening through over 30 years of studying A Course in Miracles. Featured on NBC, ABC, FOX, and Yahoo Finance, Susan’s mission is to help others recognize, feel, and release their emotional pain to rediscover their true self.

Key Takeaways:

• Healing starts with owning, not avoiding, pain.

• A Course in Miracles teaches that only love is real—everything else is an illusion.

• Emotional pain lives in the unconscious and needs to be felt to be released.

• Forgiveness is not for others—it’s a gift to ourselves for freedom and peace.

In this spiritually profound episode of Cosmic Confluence, host Sana sits down with author and mystic Blair Abee to explore meditation beyond its popular wellness appeal. Blair unpacks how meditation can become a direct channel to soul contact, higher consciousness, and even the eternal "All." A transformative journey born from personal trials led Blair to create the Higher Consciousness Meditation—a technique designed not just for stress relief, but to awaken the divine within. Discover the sacred roots of meditation, its connection to our collective evolution, and how even the simplest breath can bring you back to your true nature. This episode is an invitation to turn inward, reclaim spiritual truth, and listen when the soul whispers.

About the Guest – Blair Abee: Blair Abee is an author of five award-winning books, a poet, educator, and self-described "ordinary mystic." After a corporate crisis cracked open his spiritual path, Blair tapped into higher consciousness through sacred journaling and meditation. His mission is to make mysticism accessible and to help others connect to their inner truth. Blair’s writings and teachings bridge the gap between timeless wisdom and modern awakening.

Key Takeaways:

• Meditation is not just for relaxation—it’s a portal to soul contact and spiritual awakening.

• Blair’s Higher Consciousness Meditation offers a direct path to experience oneness with the universe.

• Our disconnection from nature mirrors our internal spiritual detachment.

• “The All,” rather than rigid religious views of God, helps foster inclusive spiritual connection.

• Soul-guided manifestation is more powerful than traditional vision boards or goal setting.

• Everyone can meditate—it’s about finding your personal path, whether through stillness, movement, or service.
