In this episode of The New Ashla Podcast, Justin V. Gates and Michael Perry explore what effective prayer really means. Many people think prayer is simply asking, begging, or pleading for the Divine to intervene. But through the teachings of Ashla, prayer becomes something deeper: alignment.

This conversation reframes prayer as the conscious turning of the self toward the Light until thought, feeling, trust, and action begin to move together. Drawing from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, the episode explores how desire, belief, feeling, and inner acceptance shape the deeper mind, and why prayer becomes more powerful when it moves from panic into presence.

Justin and Michael discuss why prayer is more than asking, how desire can become a form of prayer, why the conscious and subconscious must come into harmony, and why prayer must eventually become embodied through right action. Prayer is not about convincing the Universe. It is about becoming receptive to the Light already available within and around us.

At its heart, this episode is about learning to live the prayer. To stop praying from fear alone and begin praying from alignment, trust, and sacred cooperation with the Light.

In this episode of The New Ashla Podcast, Justin V. Gates and Michael Perry sit down with Jenny Marie to explore the mysterious and deeply personal world of soul contracts. Together, they examine whether the repeating patterns, relationships, wounds, and lessons in our lives may carry deeper meaning, not as fixed fate, but as invitations into awareness, healing, and transformation.

This conversation looks at soul contracts through a grounded and empowering lens. Rather than treating them as chains that bind us, Jenny Marie helps open the possibility that these agreements may reveal what the soul came here to learn, heal, complete, or transcend. Justin connects this to the teachings of Ashla, where awareness is the beginning of liberation and the Light reveals what has been hidden so we can become free.

The episode explores the relationship between soul contracts, subconscious patterns, free will, trauma, relationships, intuition, and spiritual growth. It asks powerful questions: Are we trapped by our soul’s agreements, or called to awaken through them? Can old contracts be healed or completed? How do we know when a repeating pattern is a lesson, a wound, or an invitation into a higher version of ourselves?

At its heart, this episode is about reclaiming power. Your patterns are not here to imprison you. They may be here to reveal where healing is still needed, where wisdom is trying to emerge, and where the soul is calling you into greater alignment.

Couples Journal

Episode Summary

Love alone does not create a healthy relationship. Communication, emotional safety, mutual curiosity, and the willingness to understand one another are what allow love to actually thrive.

In this episode, Michael Perry is joined by his wife, Allyson Perry-Turner, for a grounded and personal conversation about what healthy relationships look like in practice. They explore how unspoken expectations create resentment, how silence and emotional shutdown can cause partners to spiral, and why many conflicts are not just about the present moment but about old triggers and stories we unconsciously bring into the relationship.

Through personal examples from their own marriage, Michael and Allison share practical tools for navigating hard emotions, listening without defensiveness, giving and receiving feedback, creating rituals of connection, and building a relationship where both people feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and fully themselves.

Key Takeaways

• Love is not enough without communication. A strong relationship needs language for needs, emotions, expectations, and repair.
• Your partner cannot respond to needs you never express. Unspoken expectations often become quiet resentment.
• Not every emotion is about the present moment. Triggers can distort what is happening and make old pain feel current.
• Healthy conflict is not you versus me. It is both partners working together against the problem.
• Curiosity de-escalates defensiveness. Asking questions creates space where judgment would close it off.
• Small daily rituals matter. Appreciation, affection, quality time, and genuine interest in your partner’s world strengthen the bond over time.
• Vulnerability should be met with care. In an unsafe or abusive relationship, openness can be weaponized, so discernment matters.

Sound Bites

• “Relationships don’t fail from lack of love. They fail from lack of language.”
• “Do you need an ear, a distraction, or space?”
• “Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.”
• “I’m telling myself a story. I don’t know that it’s true.”
• “When there is conflict, it’s not you versus me. It’s us working together to address something in our relationship.”
• “Love is a daily choice.”
• “Curiosity and defensiveness do not work well together.”
• “You do not need to be perfect for your partner. You need to be honest, present, and willing to grow.”
• “The safer you feel expressing yourself, the more you learn to approach yourself with kindness too.”

Is it intuition… or is it fear pretending to guide you?

In this episode of The New Ashla Podcast, Justin V. Gates and Michael Perry explore how to tell the difference between true inner guidance and conditioned fear. Intuition is quiet, clear, and steady. Fear is urgent, loud, and often rooted in old wounds, survival patterns, and insecurity.

Through the teachings of Ashla, the Force, and the path of self-mastery, this conversation breaks down how fear distorts reason, why stillness is necessary for clarity, and how to recognize whether a feeling is expanding you or contracting you.

If you have ever wondered whether your inner voice is wisdom, anxiety, fear, or intuition, this episode will help you pause, listen deeper, and trust what is true within you.

• How conditioned fear can disguise itself as intuition or caution

• Why confusion distorts reason and why urgent decisions are often not aligned decisions

• The importance of pausing before acting when the mind is racing or the body is activated

• How patience creates the stillness needed to hear true inner guidance

• Why intuition feels clear, even when the action it points toward is difficult

• How fear creates overthinking, competing scenarios, and mental loops

• Why truth is essential to intuition, and how fear distorts what is real

• How anxiety creates cognitive overload and pulls us away from clarity

• Why intuition is connection to the Force, the Light, the Universal Mind, or higher intelligence

• How fear reacts from memory, while intuition responds from presence

• Why courage is needed to trust intuition over old conditioning

• How fear clings to the past, while intuition allows us to meet the present

• Why intuition expands us and fear contracts us

• Daily stillness as a discipline for learning to hear intuition more clearly

• A simple calibration practice: ask whether the feeling is calm or urgent, clear or confused, expanding or contracting

• The reminder that intuition is not something we create, but something we reconnect to when the noise settles

What is stealing your attention, and what is actually helping you grow?

In this episode of The New Ashla Podcast, Mike and Justin explore the difference between noise and signal: the habits, distractions, relationships, and routines that scatter our attention versus the ones that bring us back into alignment.

Noise can show up as doom scrolling, binge-watching, overstimulation, emotional avoidance, unhealthy patterns, constant productivity, or even endless self-help content that never turns into action. It may feel engaging in the moment, but over time it can leave us numb, reactive, disconnected, and stuck in autopilot.

Signal is different. Signal is not about doing more. It is about intentional living, self-awareness, emotional regulation, spiritual alignment, and choosing what restores, strengthens, and deepens your life.

Mike and Justin discuss how distraction becomes normal, how passive escape keeps us from facing discomfort, and why awareness is the first step toward real change. They also explore the grief that can come with growth, especially when following the signal requires letting go of old identities, habits, relationships, or versions of ourselves that no longer fit.

This conversation also brings in core teachings from the Path of Ashla, including recognizing improper influences, letting character and hard work become your influence, and understanding that truth does not depend on popularity.

• The difference between noise and signal
• Doom scrolling, overstimulation, and passive escape
• How distraction becomes a way to avoid discomfort
• Why not all entertainment is bad
• Signal as alignment, not productivity
• The grief that can come with personal growth
• Rest as signal and work as potential noise
• Awareness, emotional regulation, and intentional living
• Habit stacking as a practical tool for integration

Exercise

Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper.

On one side, write Noise and list what leaves you scattered, numb, reactive, or disconnected.

On the other side, write Signal and list what leaves you grounded, energized, clear, creative, and more fully yourself.

Then choose one thing from the noise side to reduce and one thing from the signal side to strengthen.

• Where in my life am I using noise to avoid discomfort, stillness, or uncertainty?
• What forms of signal make me feel the most alive, grounded, and consciously engaged?
• What has choosing a more meaningful life cost me, and what has it given me in return?
