What is the spiritual definition of Divine Masculine energy, and how can it be awakened and activated? Find out on today’s Life Question of the Week.  Next, Michael sits down with Shaman Durek, a 6th generation shaman, author of the bestseller Spirit Hacking: Shamanic Keys to Reclaim Your Personal Power, Transform Yourself, and Light Up the World, and a visionary for the Now Age. Durek’s online Shaman School and his widely popular Healing Temple and Ancient Wisdom Today podcast are instrumental in helping people tap into their personal power and unblocking negative patterns that prevent them from reaching optimal human performance. His work has been featured in Elle, Marie Claire, The LA Times, and The New York Times among others, and he had a recurring spot on CBS’ “The Doctors” where he aided guests in overcoming challenges impacting the connection between their emotional and physical well-being.  During their deeply insightful conversation, Michael and Shaman Durek discuss: -Durek’s growing up in New Orleans learning about his family’s roots and lineage in the Yoruba spiritual tradition and how to hone his own empathic abilities and spiritual insights -His travels around the world studying various religious and spiritual traditions so he could better and more deeply understand people and how they think -The tenets of Spirit shamanism, which is to expand and hold space to understand people from a place of love, and that there’s a shaman in everyone  -What Spirit Hacking is and what it means to live in the “Giant Age” — and so much more!  And as always, Michael concludes with a brief meditation that encapsulates the energy of their conversation.
