In this episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, hosts Cinthia Varkevisser, your unapologetic Spiritual Shit Disturber, and Michelle Walters, hypnotherapist and coach, dive deep into the energy of the third and fourth chakras.

💛 Third Chakra – Personal power, confidence, emotions, and boundaries. How arrogance, low self-esteem, or hurt feelings can show imbalance.

💚 Fourth Chakra – The great balancer of all chakras. Rooted in the present, love, integrity, and authentic connection.

Together, Cinthia and Michelle explore:

• How healers can balance leading, witnessing, and guiding clients.
• The dangers of rushing into judgment vs. practicing present listening.
• When to empower, when to be direct, and when to step back in healing sessions.
• Why integrity matters in both mystical and practical work.
• Stories from real sessions that reveal the pitfalls and breakthroughs of chakra imbalance.

This is a powerful, practical, and soul-stirring conversation about healing, listening, and stepping into authentic integrity.

What this episode is about

Food as medicine meets energy as strategy. Ingrid shares how she reversed severe illness, supports type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance with low-carb, five-ingredient cooking, and uses Ayurveda to balance the solar plexus chakra (personal power + digestion). Michelle adds mind power tools and hypnosis; Cinthia connects the mystic lens and chakra wisdom.

You’ll learn

• The solar plexus chakra: why confidence, metabolism, and digestion live here
• Ayurveda in plain English: elements, doshas, and “opposites balance”
• Food as medicine: low-carb, gut-friendly, 5-ingredient meals anyone can cook
• Label-reading essentials to dodge hidden sugars and industrial additives
• Gut–brain truth: how microbiome shifts mood, focus, inflammation, and energy
• Real-world wins: triglycerides down, weight loss, energy and joy up
• Mindset & mystic: reclaiming power, reframing “why me?” into purpose
• Prevention > cure: stopping prediabetes from becoming diabetes

Try this (simple starts)

1. Build plates from real food first (protein + non-starchy veg + healthy fat).
2. Read labels—check added sugars and ultra-processed ingredients.
3. Walk + breathe daily; short meditations to “drop in” to your power center.
4. Cook one 5-ingredient meal this week (air fryer/slow cooker count!).
