    The Space Before the Story, with Candice Ramsey

    How quickly can a few words on a screen change the way we feel? In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, energy healer, emotional intelligence consultant, and Qigong instructor Candice Ramsey invites us into what she calls “the space before the story”—that brief moment between something happening and the meaning our minds give it. Candice begins with a familiar scene: sitting quietly in a coffee shop when a message suddenly appears on your phone. Almost instantly, the body reacts. Your stomach tightens. Your breathing changes. Then the mind gets busy interpreting the words, replaying past conversations, assigning motives, predicting outcomes, and even rehearsing conversations that haven't happened. But what if we noticed that moment before allowing the story to take over? Candice guides us back to the present through simple awareness: feeling our feet on the floor, noticing the warmth of the cup in our hands, hearing the sounds around us, and acknowledging what we're actually feeling without needing to immediately explain it or push it away. She offers a powerful question to bring into everyday life: “What's true right now before I add the story?” Drawing from Qigong's practice of returning to center, Candice encourages us to gather back the attention we've scattered into imagined conversations and uncertain futures. We don't have to silence the mind or deny our feelings. We can simply give ourselves one breath before deciding what something means. In that small space between reaction and certainty, we may discover the freedom to choose what happens next. And sometimes, that's where peace begins. About Today's GuestCandice Ramsey is an energy healer, emotional intelligence consultant, Qigong instructor, and founder of Mahogany Tree Wellness and Mahogany Coaching and Consulting. Her work explores practices for greater awareness, emotional intelligence, grounding, and connection with the present moment.

    Calling Your Energy Back to Yourself, with Nicolette Halladay

    Where has your energy been going today? In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, Nicolette Halladay of Inspired Hearts Publishing guides us through a grounding meditation for stepping away from the noise, expectations, comparisons, unfinished tasks, and future worries that can pull our attention in so many directions. Nicolette begins with slow, intentional breathing and a simple invitation: for the next few minutes, there is nothing to figure out. Instead, we can become present in our bodies and gently notice all the places our attention has traveled—the conversations we're replaying, people we're thinking about, outcomes we're trying to control, and expectations we're carrying. From there, Nicolette invites us to imagine calling our energy back from everything outside ourselves and returning it to the body and heart. Once we become quieter, she offers three questions for reflection: What feels alive for me right now? If I stopped worrying about what I should do next, what do I already know? And what is one small action I can take today that honors what I just heard? The practice reminds us that we don't always need to see the entire path before taking a step. Sometimes we simply need enough quiet to recognize what feels true—and enough courage to act on it. Nicolette closes with an affirmation to carry into the day: “I call my energy back to myself. I trust what I know, and I am willing to honor what feels true.” About Today's GuestNicolette Halladay is with Inspired Hearts Publishing, where her work encourages creativity, connection, and greater trust in our own inner voice.

    The Waters of Chalice Well: A Moment of Peace from Glastonbury

    In this unique episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we invite you to simply pause... breathe... and listen. The gentle sound you'll hear was recorded by Jenny and Mark Stinson during a visit to the historic Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury, England. Rather than words or guided meditation, this episode offers a few peaceful minutes immersed in the flowing waters of one of the world's most cherished spiritual sanctuaries. Nestled at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, Chalice Well has welcomed pilgrims, seekers, and visitors from every spiritual tradition for generations. The Chalice Well Trust describes it as "Many Paths, One Source," honoring people of all faiths and beliefs while fostering a deep connection between humanity, nature, and the spirit of this remarkable place. The gardens themselves offer a refuge from everyday life — a place where visitors are invited to slow down, reflect, and experience the beauty of the changing seasons. Throughout the grounds, the constant sound of the spring reminds us of life's continual flow. One of the most meaningful symbols found throughout the gardens is the Vesica Piscis, an ancient form of sacred geometry representing the union of complementary opposites — heaven and earth, the divine feminine and divine masculine, what is emerging and what has already been created. It serves as a beautiful reminder that peace often arises through balance, harmony, and connection. Whether you've visited Chalice Well yourself or are experiencing it for the first time through these sounds, may this recording offer a quiet invitation to become fully present. Let the flowing water wash away distraction, restore your attention to this moment, and remind you that peace is often found in the simplest gifts of nature. If you'd like to learn more about Chalice Well, its history, gardens, and ongoing work, visit: www.chalicewell.org.uk Closing ReflectionSometimes peace doesn't arrive through conversation. Sometimes it comes through the sound of flowing water... the whisper of the wind... and a few quiet moments spent remembering that we are part of something much larger than ourselves.

    Faith Over Fear: Finding Signs in Unexpected Places, with Naomi Psalm

    In this heartfelt episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, musician and artist Naomi Psalm shares a personal reflection about fear, faith, nature ... and an unexpected message discovered along the Boise River. Naomi describes creativity as her passion and a way of co-creating with God, making music and art that might spark something within others and help them remember who they truly are. As a Florida native now living in Idaho, she also feels a deep connection to water and finds grounding, comfort, and inspiration in nature. On one particular visit to the Boise River with her dog, however, Naomi wasn't feeling peaceful. She was overwhelmed by fear and worry, quietly asking for reassurance and wondering where God was when she needed that presence most. As she tossed rocks into the river for her dog to retrieve, Naomi happened to turn one over before throwing it. Written on the rock were three simple words: "Faith over fear." Among countless rocks along the river, she had picked up one carrying the exact message she needed in that moment. For Naomi, it felt like an unmistakable reminder to stop allowing fear to direct her life and instead place greater trust in what she couldn't yet see. She brought the rock home, placed it on her mantle, and continues to use it as a daily reminder to choose faith. Through this simple story, Naomi invites us to become more attentive to the world around us. Nature can provide space to quiet our thoughts, reconnect with ourselves, and perhaps notice the signs, synchronicities, and moments of meaning we might otherwise overlook. Her reflection also offers a powerful reminder: What we focus on expands. When our attention is consumed by worry, fear can seem to appear everywhere. But when we intentionally look for beauty, hope, possibility, and even a little magic, we may begin noticing those things too. About Today's GuestNaomi Psalm is a musician and visual artist whose creative work is rooted in spirituality, connection, and her desire to awaken something meaningful within others. She describes her life's passion as co-creating with God through music and art, helping people reconnect with their deeper sense of self. Learn more at https://linktr.ee/naomipsalm About the MusicNaomi also provided the soundtrack for her story: an original composition entitled “Celestial,” created in 528 Hz and featuring live sounds recorded in the Hawaiian jungle. 528 Hz is commonly included among the modern Solfeggio frequencies and is often referred to in spiritual and wellness communities as the “love frequency” or “miracle tone.” “Celestial” also incorporates theta-wave binaural beats, which are commonly used to support states of deep relaxation, meditation, and rest. Together, the music and Naomi’s story create an immersive invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and choose faith over fear.

    Filling in Light to Feel Light, Guided Meditation with Tania Ho

    In this luminous episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, meditation guide Tania Ho invites us to slow down, settle into the body, and reconnect with the healing light within and around us. Tania begins by encouraging us to release anything that feels heavy and gently shift our awareness away from the busy mind and into the heart center. From there, she guides us through a beautiful visualization of golden healing light flowing from the universe and into the heart. With each inhale, we receive the light. With each exhale, we allow our own inner light to expand throughout the body. The meditation then creates two grounding connections: one extending from the heart down into the heart of the Earth, and another reaching upward into the heart of the cosmos. Held between these two sources of energy, we are invited to experience ourselves as both grounded and expansive. As the meditation continues, Tania encourages us to imagine golden light reaching every part of the physical body. The light then expands beyond the physical, filling our emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies and the energetic space surrounding us. At the heart of the practice is a simple reminder: You are a divine light being, and you are always supported from all directions. Tania Ho joins us from Museflower Retreat & Spa in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand. Museflower is a cozy, soulful retreat center offering experiences centered around yoga, meditation, wellness, spa holidays, and retreats.

    The Wisdom Within, by Michele Lundstrom

    In this gentle and thought-provoking episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, intuitive shamanic channel Michele Lundstrom invites us to slow down, quiet the noise around us, and reconnect with the wisdom that already lives within. Michele begins by reflecting on those moments when life feels overwhelming—when stress, fear, and exhaustion cloud our perspective. Rather than immediately searching for solutions outside ourselves, she offers a simple yet profound question: "What am I consuming?" Beyond the food we eat, Michele encourages us to consider everything we take in each day: conversations, media, music, books, social media, relationships, thoughts, and emotions. Every experience nourishes—or drains—our mind, body, and spirit. Just as our bodies digest food, our hearts and nervous systems are continually processing the energy of our daily lives. She reminds us that slowing down is not simply about doing less. It is about creating space to release what isn't ours to carry and becoming more intentional about what truly nourishes us. Throughout the reading, Michele highlights the power of curiosity. Rather than judging ourselves or rushing toward answers, she encourages us to gently explore our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with openness. Curiosity, she believes, is one of our greatest teachers because it brings us back to ourselves and opens the door to deeper self-awareness. Michele also offers a reassuring perspective on intuition. Instead of arriving as dramatic flashes of insight, our inner wisdom often speaks quietly—a subtle knowing, a gentle feeling, or a calm inner voice that invites us to pay attention. Learning to trust that wisdom begins by slowing down long enough to notice it. The episode concludes with an invitation to pause, listen to your body, and ask one simple question: "What do I need?" Perhaps the wisdom you've been seeking has been patiently waiting within you all along.

    At the Threshold: An Equinox Meditation, with Stephanie Curd

    In this special Equinox episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, Stephanie Curd invites us to pause at the turning of the season and consider what balance means in our lives right now. As the sun moves into Libra and light and darkness meet in almost equal measure, Stephanie uses the Equinox as a natural moment for reflection. Where has your energy been going? Where have you been giving deeply or carrying more than you realized? What might be asking for your attention, and where are you ready to create more space? Stephanie guides us to imagine standing at the edge of a path, with the months already traveled stretching behind us. There have been things we created, lessons we learned, conversations and changes that shaped us, and experiences that required more of us than expected. Before moving forward, she encourages us to simply acknowledge that we have made it here. From that place, the meditation turns toward what we want to carry into the season ahead. Perhaps it is a stronger relationship, a dream that still matters, a boundary we have learned to hold, or a new version of ourselves beginning to emerge. Stephanie offers two questions to carry into this seasonal transition: What has grown in me this season that I want to keep tending? What would bring greater balance into my life this season? There is no need to force the answers. Give yourself a moment to listen and allow whatever comes forward to be enough. About Today’s GuestStephanie Curd returns to 5 Minutes of Peace to guide us through this seasonal reflection on balance, intention, release, and trust. Her meditation reminds us that a change of season can become a meaningful opportunity to notice where we have been and choose more intentionally where we want to place our energy next. Stephanie's Website Stephanie on YouTube @immersive_spirit on Instagram Stephanie's Facebook page Closing ReflectionAs Stephanie reminds us: I can trust the next steps as they appear. I can choose where my energy belongs. May you release what feels complete. May you carry forward what continues to grow. And may you enter this next season with intention, balance, and trust in yourself. Welcome to the turning of the season. Thank you for listening, and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace. We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others. We're grateful to walk that path with you.

    Moving Forward: Finding Strength Through Life's Obstacles, with Michaelbrent Collings

    In this inspiring episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, international bestselling author and screenwriter Michaelbrent Collings shares a deeply personal story of resilience, reminding us that obstacles don't have to define our future. Michael recounts the unexpected twists in his own journey — from leaving a successful legal career to care for his wife during a serious illness, to rebuilding his life as a writer after losing his job during an economic downturn. Along the way, he also faced profound personal challenges, including major depression, suicidal thoughts, psychotic episodes, and even waking one morning unable to move from the neck down. Despite these hardships, he continued creating, writing, and finding purpose. Rather than offering shortcuts to success, Michael shares three practical principles that have helped him continue moving forward. First, he encourages us to focus not on being the most successful person in the room, but on being the kindest and most professional. Kindness builds relationships, creates opportunities, and leaves a lasting impact far beyond any achievement. His second lesson is to embrace curiosity. Michael believes one of life's greatest strengths is the willingness to admit, "I don't know," and then ask questions with genuine interest. By remaining open to learning, we continue to grow, adapt, and discover possibilities we might otherwise miss. Finally, he reminds us of the importance of surrounding ourselves with supportive people—and becoming that source of encouragement for others. In difficult seasons, a caring community can make all the difference, offering strength, perspective, and hope when we need it most. Michael closes with an uplifting reminder: you've already overcome more than you may realize, and with perseverance, kindness, curiosity, and support, you are capable of going even farther. About Today's GuestMichaelbrent Collings is an international bestselling author, award-winning screenwriter, and speaker known for his suspense novels, screenplays, and inspiring message of perseverance. Through his writing and personal story, he encourages others to navigate adversity with courage, compassion, and lifelong curiosity.
