15 ways to attract positive energy without pretending everything’s fine

You’ve finally turned the lights off, but your thoughts won’t. Conversations replay, to-dos hover unfinished, and random flashes of shame sneak in.

The morning’s no different. You breathe deep, but your chest is still tight. You wonder if your energy’s just…broken.

But it’s not.

According to Donna Eden, the founder of the Eden Method and Eden Energy Medicine, taking on too much from too many people can throw off your body’s rhythm. And without knowing how to attract positive energy, eve...

Master intrapersonal intelligence: 5 powerful ways to live by design, not by default

There’s something admirable about those who tap into their intrapersonal intelligence. They’re able to sit with their inner chaos, call out their own lies, and actually listen to what’s under all that head noise.

You see, you can have ten degrees, run five companies, and meditate in a cave for a year. But if you still don’t understand why you self-sabotage at 2 a.m. with a spoonful of resentment and peanut butter, you’re missing the whole point.

Unfortunately, its importance gets downplaye...

The Monroe Institute: Where neuroscience meets mysticism for real-world transformation

Ever feel like your thoughts are racing and you just want to switch off the noise? Now, imagine stepping into a place like the Kamar-Taj in Dr. Strange. But unlike the on-screen setting, there’s no need for capes, spellbooks or time portal rings—just your headphones will do.

That’s the Monroe Institute’s work for you. Here, you press play on soul-healing sounds, close your eyes, and let your mind open up at will.

For over 40 years, this consciousness lab has helped people navigate their in...

I let my AI clone interview me. What happened next was hilarious (and a little unsettling).

I know this is going to trigger some of you, but I’m about to launch an AI clone of myself.

You’ll be able to interact with a version of me that looks like me, talks to you, answers your questions with patience and empathy, and even compliments you on what you’re wearing.

This AI clone is built from new technology, and we’ll be sharing this technology to show you how you can create your own digital clone at Mindvalley’s AI Summit. 

That can help your clients if you happen to be a coach ...

How Gelong Thubten transformed his life from chaos to calm—and how you can too

His voice is calm and measured, just like someone who has spent years watching thoughts move without chasing them (which he did). There’s a gentleness to the pauses, which makes his wisdom, when shared, so lived in.

Before he ever taught mindfulness to Fortune 500 execs or spoke on stages packed with neuroscientists, renowned Buddhist monk Gelong Thubten was an actor trying to make it big.

For years, he chased applause from one casting call to another… until he burned out. But, as he’d sha...

Anne-Laure Le Cunff on why tiny experiments feel better than forcing clarity

Maybe it starts with a little voice—the one that says you should be doing more. So you squeeze in emails while brushing your teeth. Podcasts replace silence. Rest becomes something you have to earn.

Sure, it feels like momentum…at first. But eventually, it feels like drowning in your own ambition.

Anne-Laure Le Cunff knows the feeling. As a former Googler turned neuroscientist, she watched her own life get swallowed by KPIs and calendar invites. Then she walked out and wrote Tiny Experimen...

The power of your legacy

I’m writing this to you from New York City.

I’m here with my son, Hayden—he’s 17—and we’re scouting universities.

And as I sit in this country, watching him walk through these towering campuses, full of ambition and wonder, I find myself reflecting on two stories I heard recently. Both American. Both powerful. Both true. 

And both soul-stirring. 

One happened in the 1920s.
The other, in the 1940s.
Two different men.
Two violent deaths.
Two lives that, through tragedy, reshaped a nation.

Naturalistic intelligence is the inner genius that blooms in forests, not classrooms

Naturalistic intelligence is the bit of your brain that clocked the rustle in the bushes before we had words for “run!” It’s how humans stayed alive long enough to invent oat milk.

Chances are, you’ve probably felt it standing by a river, staring at clouds, leaning against a tree… Your thoughts slow down, and your body feels like it’s finally been heard.

Listening to nature sounds, bird songs, or flowing water certainly will help most people calm your mind and soothe your emotions.

Ethan Kross’ 5 simple tools that can help “shift” your big emotions in minutes

You’re exhausted from feeling everything all the time.

The simmering tension before a Zoom call, the throb of regret at 2 a.m., or even the way a passing comment hijacks your peace for hours. You try journaling, meditating, breathing in for four, out for six… But still, your emotions barrel through your body like they own the place.

Welcome, as Ethan Kross addresses the first chapter of his book, to your emotional life.

It’s messy and unpredictable. But not unmanageable.

And once you...

Intermittent fasting by age chart to help you fast smarter, not harder

At 25, you skip breakfast, crush a spin class, and somehow survive on iced coffee and hope. At 45, the same routine leaves you foggy, ravenous, and wondering if your metabolism died in its sleep.

The reality is, your body has moved on from the fast-all-day, glow-all-night nonsense that once sort of worked. Metabolism slows, hormones riot, muscle becomes stubborn, and fasting, when done like you’re still in your twenties, starts to backfire.

That’s why turning to the intermittent fasting by...
