  1. The Girl With the Golden Wings, a story by Crystal T. Harrell

    19H AGO

    The Girl With the Golden Wings, a story by Crystal T. Harrell

    In today’s episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, author, speaker, and mindfulness teacher Crystal T. Harrell shares a powerful original story written during a moment of deep reflection — The Girl With the Golden Wings. Through poetic imagery and soulful intuition, Crystal guides listeners into a meditation on fear, trust, courage, and the inner strength we often forget we carry. This beautifully told metaphor invites us all to consider the edges we approach in our own lives — the places where fear whispers “What if I fall?” and where joy reminds us of our ability to rise. A Meditative StoryCrystal’s narrative follows a girl standing at the edge of her next becoming. She feels the weight of doubt pulling her backward, familiar as an old friend. Fear warns her of falling. Envy’s arrows echo past wounds. The shadows seem safer. But joy — gentle and steady — places a hand at the small of her back and helps her remember: “You can do more because you have become more.” A golden ray catches her eye, revealing her own wings — strong, luminous, and ready. With trust as her key, she leaps. And instead of falling, she flies. Crystal’s story becomes a meditation on resilience, transformation, and the deep truth that growth requires trust — in ourselves, in our journey, and in the unseen joy that accompanies us. Key Themes• Courage at the edge of change • Recognizing fear without surrendering to it • The power of joy as an inner guide • Remembering your innate ability to soar • Passing wisdom forward to others on the path Crystal’s words offer a gentle reminder that the strength of our wings is built through life’s challenges — and that trust transforms those challenges into flight. About Today’s GuestCrystal T. Harrell is a #1 bestselling author, motivational speaker, MBSR instructor, Gates Millennium Scholar, and Yale-trained public health researcher. Her journey from public housing in Alabama to international speaker and educator embodies resilience, healing, and radical self-belief.

  2. Crystal Alignment Meditation, by Cristina MacMahon

    FEB 12

    Crystal Alignment Meditation, by Cristina MacMahon

    In this gentle, grounding meditation, intuitive healing facilitator Cristina MacMahon guides us through a crystal-based journey of alignment, clarity, and inner coherence. Listeners are invited to settle into stillness, soften the body, and imagine holding a clear quartz crystal — a symbol of purity, order, and coherent light. From this place of presence, Cristina leads us through a slow, embodied exploration of the chakra system, using the crystal as an energetic guide. Beginning at the root, we connect deeply with the Earth, cultivating a sense of safety, belonging, and grounding. As the meditation moves upward, each chakra is gently activated and nourished with its corresponding color and quality — creativity, personal power, love, expression, intuition, and spiritual connection. Throughout the practice, the quartz crystal grows and expands, forming a luminous pillar of light along the spine. This steady, harmonious flow links Earth and sky, body and spirit, creating a sense of balance, coherence, and calm integration. The meditation closes with a quiet invitation to return gently, carrying this clarity and alignment into the rest of the day. A beautiful practice for anyone seeking grounding, energetic balance, and a deeper connection to themselves and the natural intelligence of crystals. Thank you for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.

    Create Peace on Earth From the Inside Out, with David Gershon

    In this episode, we welcome David Gershon, internationally recognized as the number one expert on social change and the visionary behind Peace on Earth by 2030. As co-founder and CEO of the Empowerment Institute, David has spent decades helping people and communities believe in their power to transform — and designing the tools to make that transformation real. Today, he brings that same bold hope to the Peace Game, Peace Zones, and the practices that help individuals embody peace in daily life. David's Website In his special meditation, David leads listeners through the Golden Age Consciousness Meditation, a synthesis of seven peace practices used in the Peace Game journey. Meditation Overview: The Seven Peace Practices 1. Empowerment Visualize your heart glowing with violet light. Affirm: I am an enlightened spiritual being. Feel the sovereignty and strength of your true nature. 2. Oneness Fill your heart with golden light. Affirm: I am one with all of humanity. Sense your unity with every person and all forms of life on Earth. 3. Unity Invite white light into your heart. Affirm: I am in harmony with all life. Experience yourself aligned with the rhythms of the planet. 4. Cooperation Surround your heart with green light. Affirm: I cooperate for the common good. Envision working collaboratively—with ease, compassion, and purpose. 5. Abundance Let indigo light expand through your heart. Affirm: I live a life of abundance and generosity. Recognize the universe as supportive, overflowing, and ever-giving. 6. Love Imagine your heart bathed in pink light. Affirm: I love humanity. Feel unconditional love radiating outward to all beings. 7. Faith Fill your heart with blue light. Affirm: I have faith in humanity, and we create peace on earth by 2030. Anchor into trust—trust in ourselves, our communities, and our collective destiny. Golden Age Light Integration David guides listeners to visualize these seven frequencies blending into a single, radiant Golden Age Light—a vibration that permeates the body, heart, mind, and soul. From this expanded awareness, you then: • Send the Golden Age Light to family, friends, coworkers, and communities • Watch peace spread from heart to heart, circle to circle • Envision thousands of Peace Zones forming across the planet • Witness humanity crossing an evolutionary threshold • See yourself in the year 2030—looking back on all you contributed to creating peace on Earth This guided journey invites listeners to step into their highest consciousness and remember that peace begins as an inner state—one that ripples outward into the world. 5 Minutes of Peace is created by The Peace Room, Boise.

    JAN 29

    Opening the Door to Emotional Clearing, Alpha Induction with Kamy Godoy

    In today’s episode, our guest Kamy Godoy guides listeners through an Alpha Induction, the first step in her emotional clearing process. This practice gently shifts us from the left-brain thinking mind into the intuitive, feeling body where deep emotional work becomes possible. Kamy explains that the Alpha state is similar to meditation, yet is intentionally practiced while sitting upright to maintain coherence and access to the subconscious. What You’ll Experience Kamy leads a grounding, centering induction that includes: • Dropping into the body Feeling the heaviness, earthiness, and the quiet shift from thinking to sensing. • Releasing all striving Entering the peaceful state of non-doing — the space where true healing can occur. • Guided breathwork A rhythmic count of inhaling and exhaling to soften the nervous system and deepen awareness. • Visualizing protective light A golden beam entering the body, forming an energized sphere that expands into a strong, protective auric field. • Earth-rooted grounding Drawing blue-green energy up from the center of the earth, releasing negativity back down for neutralization. • Full-body emotional awareness Scanning from feet to head to notice sensations, congestion, or feelings emerging from the subconscious. • Third-eye activation Bringing cosmic light from above and earth energy from below into the center of intuition. • Witness consciousness Gently stepping outside the emotional experience to observe without attachment. She closes by bringing listeners back to full awareness with a slow, steady count from one to five. This induction mirrors the opening process she uses in emotional clearing sessions, preparing clients for deeper work with clarity and safety. About Our Guest, Kamy Godoy Kamy is a multi-level Reiki Master Teacher who co-teaches classes at The Peace Room. Her practice blends Reiki, emotional clearing, and intuitive work rooted in her lifelong connection to nature, animals, and subtle energy. In her words: “Trees are my teachers, stars nurture my spirit, and animals remind me of unconditional love. My path to Reiki emerged from a desire to understand whole-body healing. I believe we each hold the power to awaken the healer within.” Kamy: • earned a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary professional studies • has a certificate in emotional intelligence • holds a certificate in emotional clearing • serves as a volunteer grant writer for a local animal rescue Thank you for taking this journey into the Alpha state with us.

  5. Who’s Driving? The Journey Back to Yourself, with Queen D Michele

    Who’s Driving? The Journey Back to Yourself, with Queen D Michele

    In this powerful and reflective episode, we welcome Queen D Michele — author, blogger, creator, and founder of the Fula History & Genealogy Society in America, as well as a conscious curriculum designed to help middle and high school students cultivate self-awareness, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and conscious decision-making. QUEEN's Website QUEEN on YouTube QUEEN's Facebook page Today, Queen D Michele invites listeners into a transformative inner inquiry with one fundamental question: Who’s driving—your ego or your soul self? From the moment we are born, we are guided by a pure inner voice—the quiet awareness that knows who we truly are. But as we grow, our senses pull us outward. What we see, hear, touch, and experience shapes a new identity, and the ego begins to take the lead. Queen D Michele describes how: Programming, conditioning, and external narratives strengthen the egoWe begin to believe we are the ego—the thought producer, processor, and storytellerThese stories become our beliefsThese beliefs shape our perceptionsOur perceptions construct the reality we live in Meanwhile, our soul self—the truest, most expansive part of us—remains present but unheard. Reflection Prompt from Queen D. Michele Ask yourself today: Who’s driving? Is it the ego with its stories, fears, and conditioning? Or your soul self—your truest, most loving, most awakened essence? Returning to your soul self is not a single moment—it is a practice, a remembering, and a daily choice to live from inner truth. 5 Minutes of Peace is created by The Peace Room, Boise.

  6. The Pure Human Within, reflections from Kelly Jean

    JAN 15

    The Pure Human Within, reflections from Kelly Jean

    In today’s episode, Kelly Jean guides us through an exploration inspired by the work of Gregg Braden — scientist, researcher, and visionary — whose teachings bridge science, spirituality, and human potential in extraordinary ways. The Pure Human Within What does it really mean to be a “Pure Human” in our modern world? Are we limited by our biology … or are we far more capable than we’ve ever been taught? Drawing from Braden’s latest book, Pure Human: The Hidden Truth of Our Divinity, Power, and Destiny, this reflection invites us to reconsider who we are — and what we are truly capable of. Key ConceptsWe Are More Than BiologyBraden describes humans as “soft technology” — beings wired for intuition, creativity, healing, and inner intelligence. We are not only responding to life…we are shaping it. Heart–Brain CoherenceOne of Braden’s central insights is coherence — the harmonious alignment between the heart and the brain. This coherence becomes measurable when we experience compassion, gratitude, or genuine care. When the heart shifts, the entire nervous system shifts. The body reorganizes into harmony. The electromagnetic field changes — subtly shaping the world around us. This is where Reiki beautifully aligns with Braden’s research: Quieting the mind.Opening the heart.Allowing energy to flow with intention.A physiological and spiritual coherence.Peace is not something we wait for. It is something we generate. Excerpt from Pure Human (Chapter 4: Awakening Our Superpowers)Kelly Jean shares Gregg Braden’s discussion of the “little brain in the heart” — the 40,000 sensory neurites discovered in 1991 that form a sophisticated neural network. This research shows that the heart is not simply a pump. It is a center of intelligence, intuition, memory, and communication. When we shift our inner state, even slightly, we unlock creative potential, clarity, healing, and connection. The “Pure Human” is not something we become someday. It is the awakened version of who we already are. Guided ReflectionKelly Jean invites listeners into a simple practice: • Place a hand on your heart • Take a slow inhale • Exhale softly • Feel the rhythm • Sense coherence rising within This subtle alignment of heart and mind becomes a small, steady practice of peace — something we can carry throughout our day. Thank you for joining this moment of connection, curiosity, and coherence — and for giving yourself 5 Minutes of Peace.

    Releasing Stress and Suffering, by Dean Graves

    In this reflective episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we welcome Dean Graves, an experienced spiritual teacher, author, and mindfulness instructor. His work bridges consciousness, psychology, and personal transformation. Learn more about his books, teachings, and workshops at ddeangraves.org. @simpleenlightenment on Instagram Dean's Facebook page Dean on YouTube He joins us to read an excerpt from his book, Edifying Children of a Lesser God, specifically the chapter titled “Stress and Suffering.” Dean explores the roots of human suffering and how our perception of self directly shapes our experiences. He explains that suffering is not an unavoidable part of life, but rather a distortion of perception — a learned belief that can be unlearned through conscious awareness and healing. He illustrates this concept with a powerful metaphor: If everyone were splashed by a sprinkler, all would be wet in the same way — because the water caused it.But when witnessing a car accident, no two people feel the same — because the experience doesn’t create the emotion, our interpretation does. Dean reminds us that our reactions are reflections of our internal condition. As we evolve, we begin to interpret life from a higher, more peaceful state of consciousness — reducing suffering and expanding awareness. Takeaway PracticeDean encourages listeners to begin their journey of healing by: Recognizing the false lens through which suffering is perceived.Releasing the belief that pain is inevitable.Observing experiences as neutral, allowing emotions to be guided by awareness rather than reaction. 5 Minutes of Peace is created by The Peace Room, Boise. Each episode offers reflections, meditations, and readings designed to help you reconnect with peace, love, and awareness — within yourself and the world around you.

    Finding Your Passion, with Janet Attwood

    Today’s episode features Janet Attwood, bestselling author, speaker, passion coach, Transcendental Meditation teacher, Ayurveda advocate, and creator of the globally celebrated program The Passion Test. You can explore Janet’s work and take The Passion Test at: www.thepassiontest.com With more than 20 books and a lifetime devoted to helping people discover what lights them up, Janet joins us to share her wisdom on how to stay creatively inspired, remove limiting beliefs, and live a truly passionate life. Janet is the creator of The Passion Test, a powerful self-discovery process that helps you get crystal clear on what matters most in your life. Through her teachings, Janet empowers individuals to stop living life on autopilot and instead reach into their genius, uncover their gifts, and share them with the world. Her central message: Passion fuels purpose, and purpose fuels joy. In this episode (excerpted from an interview with Mark in 2021), Janet guides us through a reflection on: 1. What Passion Really Is Passion is what you love. What you care about. What gets you out of bed in the morning. What lights your inner fire. And everyone has the desire to live a passionate life because we want to know we are not simply drifting—we want to create. 2. Why Clarity Matters Janet explains that the Passion Test is filled with exercises that help you get so clear on your desires that when you close your eyes, you can actually see the life you want to create. It is an inside-out process—noticing the visions, feelings, and desires that arise when you ask: “When my life is ideal, I am…” 3. Becoming a “Manifestation Magnet” Janet teaches the ancient Vedic principle: “Curving back on myself, I create again and again.” Through intentional reflection — across career, relationships, health, spirituality, lifestyle, and your environment — you begin to see the elements that truly matter to you. With enough clarity, vision turns to magnetism. The people, places, and opportunities begin to appear. The Formula for Living a Passionate Life Janet shares her signature three-step formula: 1. INTENTION Get crystal clear on what you want. Take the Passion Test to identify your top five passions. 2. ATTENTION What you put your attention on grows. Focus your energy on what you choose to create — not what is lacking. 3. NO TENSION Do all you can do…and then surrender. Let go. Trust. Allow something even better to arrive. This is when manifestation accelerates. This is when passion turns into reality.
