Episode 7: Breath as Teacher

Lotus Pond Conversations with Michele Marie

In this tender and powerful episode, Michele Marie explores how the breath is not simply a tool—but a teacher.

When life unravels, when the mind races, or when the heart feels heavy, the breath becomes the quiet voice that says:
“I’m still here. I’ve been here. I’ll stay until you remember yourself again.”

Drawing from yoga philosophy and the Chandogya Upanishad, Michele shares the ancient story of the senses arguing over who is most vital—until only the breath remains, and the body can no longer survive.
It is then that all bow to prāṇa, the life force, and say:
“You are the essence of us all. You are our Lord.”

This episode includes:

• A soulful reflection on breath and presence
• A short guided breathing moment
• A reminder that you don’t have to fix everything—you just have to return

Whether you’re in a season of uncertainty, grief, or transformation, this episode is a gentle companion on your path home to yourself.

“The breath doesn’t promise clarity—but it offers presence. And presence changes everything.”

Scorpio Full Moon: The Soft Power of Release

Lotus Pond Conversations with Michele Marie

Episode Description:

This episode is a guided meditation beneath the sacred waters of the Scorpio Full Moon—an invitation into softness, surrender, and soul-level release.

Scorpio is the sign of transformation.
She governs the unseen, the unspoken, the depths we often resist.
But under her full moon, we’re called not to fear the shedding—
but to trust it.

In this tender 6–8 minute offering, Michele Marie leads you through breath, reflection, and visualization to gently release what no longer serves. With the support of soft music and the violet light of psychic clearing, this meditation creates space for you to let go—without judgment, without force.

You’ll be invited to ask:

• What am I holding that no longer serves?
• What part of me is ready to be released?
• Can I trust the tides of transformation?

Ideal for journaling, moon rituals, or quiet reflection, this meditation supports the emotional shifts of Scorpio’s energy—encouraging grace, presence, and trust in the sacred process of becoming.

“This moon does not fear your shadows. In fact… she welcomes them home.”

EPISODE 6 — Coming Home to the Body

Lotus Pond Conversations with Michele Marie

There was a time I couldn’t move without pain.

Sixteen months of waiting for hip replacement surgery brought me face-to-face with parts of myself I had long bypassed.

Parts I couldn’t rush.

Parts I had to listen to.

In this episode, I share a tender reflection on that season of stillness—when the body became both my greatest teacher and my sacred homecoming.

You’ll also be guided through a gentle body scan meditation—an invitation to soften, observe, and return… without judgment.

This one is for anyone learning to feel safe in their body again.

Anyone healing.

Anyone remembering that presence doesn’t mean perfection—it just means staying.

“This body is not a burden.

It is a bridge.

It is not broken.

It is becoming.”
