*Turn meditation from something you do into something you live. Sign up for Michael’s 5-week course, “Meditation 2.0: The Evolution of Consciousness,” here: https://agapemasterclass.com/meditation-2-0/*
Today, Michael sits down with *Tannaz Hosseinpour* — relationship coach, registered psychotherapist, and host of _Minutes on Growth_. Tannaz integrates psychology and spirituality to help people build safe, healthy relationships through nervous-system regulation, inner-child and parts work, and practical communication skills. Her approach is deeply somatic and heart-centered, showing how breath, micro-practices, and community restore wholeness and belonging.
*Conversation Highlights:*
-What mind–body–soul integration really looks like in daily life—and why healing is less about suppressing pain and more about gently clearing what the body has been carrying
-How a painful back flare-up in the middle of grieving became a wake-up call, revealing that unprocessed emotion can settle into our tissues, and how somatic practices help it move again
-Why connecting with others in person helps regulate the nervous system, allowing us to feel seen, safe, and part of something bigger than our worries
-One-minute micro-practices—pause, breathe, stretch, check-in—that make stillness feel safe and keep you steady when life gets loud
-A simple 4-in/8-out breath to stimulate the vagus nerve so the body can shift from “on guard” to “I’m okay” in real time
-Why thinking harder doesn’t help when we’re triggered, and how pausing to feel sensations brings the clear, wise part of the brain back online
-A kinder way to meet big feelings—dropping “good/bad” labels and listening for the message (boundaries, alignment, desire) each emotion is trying to deliver
-How to say what you need without drama; using I-language, clear roadmaps, and timing conversations for when both people are regulated
-A “same team vs. the problem” approach to conflict so love stays at the center, even when opinions differ
Finally, a closing guided meditation that pairs a gentle smile with paced breathing and silence to reset the system and carry gratitude into daily life.
