In this enlightening conversation, Belén Desirée, an Activator, Priestess, Divine Channel, and Conscious Creation Soul Mentor, shares her wisdom on unity consciousness. She explains how the “I Am” essence splits into masculine and feminine energies, guiding us to divine experiences that ultimately reconnect us to Source. “When we come back into inner union, we come into unity with each other and with Source,” she shares. 💫

Belén discusses the shift from survival to thriving and emphasizes the importance of staying authentic. “Authenticity is a conscious choice,” she reminds us, encouraging us to align with our true selves each day. She views feminine energy as “the conscious, unseen force,” and highlights the significance of sovereignty and discernment in soul alignment.

She also explores the balance between free will and divine orchestration, noting that our souls have already chosen our paths. For Belén, cocreation is about “anchoring divine consciousness by unifying with ourselves first, then aligning with a divinely designed counterpart.”

Join us as Belén inspires us to awaken divine consciousness, embrace our truth, and align with our soul’s purpose.

Carlos also warns against binge-watching, saying, “You’re compromising your sleep.” Instead, he encourages creating a relaxing nighttime routine.

Carlos’s own mornings start at 5:30 AM with meditation and journaling, grounding him in gratitude and setting a positive tone for the day. This practice, he believes, not only boosts his mood but prepares him for restorative sleep by letting go of nighttime worries.
