What if the fastest way forward is first to sit still? Our conversation with spiritual coach and master healer Cheryl Stelte begins with a startling beachside vision and unfolds into a practical blueprint for transforming stuck energy into real momentum. Cheryl shares how low, steady breathing below the navel can surface subconscious material, why building safety in the root chakra is the keystone for lasting change, and how to pair inner work with accessible movement rituals to feel stronger, clearer, and more at home in your body.

We dig into the mechanics of breath-led meditation, the science of trauma storage as sensations and emotions, and the way neuroplasticity accelerates once emotional charge is released. Cheryl explains her energy work framework—reading chakra flow without theatrics, transforming what’s already yours instead of importing “healing energy,” and returning it cleared so the nervous system can stabilize. The Five Tibetan Rites take center stage as a compact, organ-massaging sequence you can build from three to twenty-one reps, supporting sleep, lymph flow, flexibility, and everyday vitality. Power walking emerges as an underrated movement meditation that rebuilt stamina and bone density while reinforcing identity shifts that stick.

You’ll hear vivid case stories: throat and shoulder pain easing when old truths are finally voiced, hip tension releasing as a lifelong burden gets set down, and a client rediscovering excitement after decades of depression. Cheryl’s books—especially her throat chakra guide and From Blocked to Powerful—offer a workbook-style path to becoming your own energy worker with meditations and practices that meet you where you are. The throughline is clear: safety first, inner truth always, and small, consistent rituals that turn healing from a concept into a lifestyle.
