This week on Intuitive Wisdom I sit down with Colleen Quinn — transpersonal psychologist, certified breathwork facilitator, and author of Essence Merging, recently named a Distinguished Favorite in the Mind, Body, Spirit category at the 2026 NYC Big Book Awards.

Colleen has lived through two near-death experiences and the loss of her brother, and she's brought back a rare clarity about what it means to actually meet our own soul — not as a concept, but as a felt, breathing experience.

We talk about:

• Why growth almost always starts from an uncomfortable place, and how letting go of attachment to outcome is really letting go of suffering
• The Hindu and Aztec predictions of a "great awakening" beginning in winter 2019 — right as the world entered COVID
• Why 2026 feels like a love squeeze, and how to hold abundance in your heart independent of what you see around you
• Chakras as energy centers — not metaphors, but real nerve bundles and information hubs in the body
• How slow, circular breathwork becomes a visceral, even cosmic experience
• The twin flame concept and what "essence merging" really means
• What bliss feels like in the body, and why we're all ultimately seeking wholeness
• Colleen's daily practice: red light, breathwork, and a set intention for the day
