Michele Blood:: I release suffering in the world to let
0:02
people know they're not alone, and that everything is possible
0:06
for them if they will just give themselves a yes to themselves
0:11
to their own life. Yes, I can improve my life. No one needs to
0:15
do it on their own.
0:20
Jim Price:: Hello, I'm Dr. Jim Price, and welcome to The
0:23
Purpose and Progress Podcast. This is the place where we
0:27
explore how purpose can guide our actions, and how growth can
0:31
become a part of our everyday lives. On the show, I talk with
0:35
amazing guests, from educators and creators to everyday people
0:40
with extraordinary stories about the challenges they face, the
0:44
lessons they've learned, and how to keep moving forward. My goal
0:48
is to share conversations that inspire you to live
0:50
intentionally, embrace growth, and take meaningful steps to
0:54
your own purpose. Let's get started.
1:02
Hello everyone. Welcome to The Purpose and Progress Podcast
1:06
show. I'm your host, Dr. Jim Price. Once again, we share
1:10
inspiring stories and inspirational, motivational
1:13
stories of people's journeys in different industries and stuff
1:16
like that. And today, we're so blessed and honored to have such
1:19
a great guest today. She's the creator of Magnet to Success,
1:23
co-writer and creator of over 80 books, audio programs, TV shows,
1:28
videos on positive thought, mind transformation, meditation, and
1:33
more. And she also teaches others how to live mystical life
1:37
and experience divine openness connected to happiness, success
1:41
and purpose. We're blessed and honored to have Michelle Blood.
1:46
How you doing today, Michelle?
1:47
Michele Blood:: I'm wonderful, Dr. Jim.
1:52
Jim Price:: It was such a blessing to have you on the
1:53
show. We are talking a little bit before the show started
1:56
about the differences in terms of school counselor. Here in
2:01
America, we have a lot of services in place to try to deal
2:04
with kids' mental health and stuff like that. And we'll talk
2:07
about some of the backdrops with that. And of course, our paths
2:09
are kind of similar in terms of how we connect with people,
2:12
wanting to have them become the best versions of themselves,
2:15
divine purpose and those kind of things. I'm so glad to have you
2:19
on the show, Michelle. One of the questions that I wanted to
2:23
start is, when do you feel that your journey kind of started?
2:28
What influenced, maybe the point where you'd be like, okay, this
2:32
is what I want to do? How you transitioned into that? Where
2:36
you are in terms of success you have today?
2:38
Michele Blood:: Well, I was a rock singer in Australia. I was
2:41
on TV since the age of five, actually. I worked really hard,
2:47
got the best band together. One stage, we toured seven years non
2:50
stop. We had Time Warner record label, and everything was going
2:54
great. We worked so hard because in Australia back then, you
2:57
couldn't get a record contract unless you already had a huge
3:00
audience.
3:01
Jim Price:: Wow. Okay.
3:03
Michele Blood:: Things are so different these days. You could
3:05
just pop your song on Apple. I had a near fatal car accident or
3:13
truck accident on our way home from a gig, 12 hour drive. I
3:18
still make records, I still sing. That hasn't changed, it's
3:22
just a different area. That's what happened. The truck
3:27
accident, being in the hospital for months, and months, and
3:30
months, and so many long, long operations. I just say, thank
3:34
God for all the doctors that were amazing, and that's when I
3:38
had a sort of a spiritual epiphany, and things changed.
3:42
And here I am. And since then, I've traveled to over 26
3:45
different countries, done events everywhere. Biggest audience,
3:49
50,000 people. Just insane stuff. I worked with Bob
3:53
Proctor, the late great Bob Proctor for 7 years straight as
3:55
well, and we created tons of products, events and everything.
4:01
I ran his business from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. It was just
4:07
the things that have happened, and the things that can change
4:10
once your consciousness changes. The mind becomes very clear, and
4:14
whatever you think about is created. So that's why I say to
4:17
people, you think you're not creating things through your
4:20
thoughts. But through your negative thoughts, it's either
4:23
creating something negative, or it's keeping you exactly where
4:26
you are, which is no one wants to stay stagnant. You're either
4:29
moving forward or back, and you want to keep moving up,
4:32
actually.
4:35
Jim Price:: And I think that's a lot of points that people do go
4:37
through. Just a blessing that you made it through your
4:40
traumatic ordeal with the accident, and where to overcome
4:43
those obstacles to have you do the things that you do today.
4:46
And success, and being respiring others. We always say sometimes
4:50
to other people, you don't know who's hearing your story, and
4:53
how your story will impact and influence others to want to make
4:56
a change, and know that they can overcome obstacles and stuff
4:58
like that in their lives. I'm one that's definitely true to
5:02
that. When I think about my purpose and the way I try to
5:05
inspire people, families, and children in my own way to give
5:09
back, and try to open up those doors to a better understanding
5:12
of self, and having self-awareness, and having those
5:15
aspects of self-love and all the things, I think we definitely
5:20
connected in that way, in that sense, and the way we do things,
5:24
and stuff like that. Thanks for sharing that insightful message
5:27
to open up the doors about your experience, and how you overcame
5:31
those obstacles. I also coincides with what we were just
5:36
talking about. You face these obstacles through your journey
5:39
to get to where you are today. Can you talk about a little bit
5:42
about some of those aspects of coming to terms with where you
5:46
are in terms of where you came to divine purpose and things of
5:50
that nature, and connecting that to your experiences in terms of
5:53
divine purpose, motivation and meditation? And all those
5:57
aspects are part of self-healing and self-growth, could you kind
6:01
of touch on that a little bit?
6:03
Michele Blood:: Yeah. But first of all, I've got to say that I
6:06
can see people very, very well. Their soul type. And you are
6:11
beautiful. What's coming from you, the energy, the frequency
6:17
is incredible. I just have to say it, because it's not often I
6:22
feel it to this extent. It's like, wow, okay, hit me with
6:25
that gorgeous light. Why don't you, Jim?
6:28
Jim Price:: Goodness of life. Hey, hey, I'm always good. It's
6:30
always good to hear people say good thing. Because then, you're
6:34
on your journey, and what you're trying to do is to inspire and
6:38
be on a high, high frequency. High where you get your
6:42
blessings when you're trying to help others and stuff. Like your
6:44
journey right now. We both got still left our journey, but
6:50
being able to, you know, use that as a platform to be able to
6:53
inspire change in that way. But I thank you so much, Michele, I
6:57
appreciate that coming from you. That definitely means so much to
7:01
be good as a light. Thank you.
7:03
Michele Blood:: No, I could just see you bringing the sunshine
7:06
into any room you walk into. It's just obvious. It's
7:09
beautiful.
7:10
Jim Price:: As we go through our journey in life, we look to see
7:14
how we fit into. My niche has always been the children's world
7:19
where I'm inspiring youth and stuff. And your niche, it's the
7:23
same too. It's about those aspects of connectedness,
7:27
meditation, self growth and stuff. Even purpose and
7:31
progress. It's about growth and taking action towards the
7:35
progress so that you can continue to see that growth and
7:38
development happen over time. In terms of your accomplishments
7:42
and stuff that you've had, so so much wonderful blessings in your
7:45
life to accomplish so many things, what would you feel has
7:48
been probably a major most prized achievement for you
7:52
personally? I know you've worked in a lot of different areas, but
7:56
maybe pinpoint a few things that you felt like been kind of peak
8:00
achievements that you really is special to you in your own way.
8:05
Michele Blood:: Well, I feel that after traveling the world
8:07
and doing all the successful things I did, my heart was so
8:10
open. It was like I had heart glow. And Bob Proctor said to
8:14
me, you've got to find an enlightened teacher. He said, I
8:18
had one for you, 3 or 4 years, Leyland in Canada. And so then I
8:23
went on a journey. I didn't know that I was actually looking for
8:27
an enlightened teacher, but I knew I wanted to find what this
8:29
heart glow was that I was feeling. I didn't realize it was
8:32
because all the work that I'd been doing with my affirmation
8:35
pop songs, and that becoming globally successful and all the
8:39
stuff I did with Bob, we created so many products, and it was
8:42
amazing. I loved working with him because I'm high in energy,
8:45
he's high in energy. And when people say it's the weekend,
8:48
we'd say, you don't do things on the weekends. Particularly for a
8:58
rock singer because you're working every day. So weekends,
9:02
I think it's like the aristocrats in England, someone
9:05
would say to them, oh, it's the weekend. And they didn't know
9:08
what a weekend was because they didn't ever work. But anyway,
9:14
but what happened to me was, after 14 years of looking, I
9:19
eventually was delighted to be able to meet in America an
9:24
enlightened teacher. She's about 10 years younger than me. I went
9:27
off the grid for 10 years, took all social media off everything,
9:31
and studied with her all over the world meditation until my
9:36
greatest achievement, which I don't think is my achievement,
9:38
it's because of the light that she could transmit to me, and
9:41
because of my dedication to wanting to find what the divine
9:43
was, my purpose was, so I had an awakening. I had a full
9:48
awakening after years of meditating deeply and deeply,
9:52
and having all these spiritual experiences. So it's not what
9:56
I've created in terms of products and everything else.
10:00
But that was the greatest thing, because everyone is here. Their
10:04
souls waiting in line to be able to get here to this particular
10:09
planet. It's incredibly challenging, but it's incredibly
10:13
beautiful. People don't understand what's also out
10:16
there, but I know what's out there. I'm going to go esoteric
10:18
on you, but this is one of the most beautiful world plan. Even
10:21
though there's a lot of crap, that content, that's a very high
10:24
mystical terminology, crap. Even though there's a lot of stuff
10:28
that goes on in the world, I've worked in so many different
10:32
cultures, and everyone to me, they want to be loved, they want
10:36
to love in return, they want to look after their families, and
10:39
be able to experience really beautiful things in life. And I
10:42
want everybody to do that. The thing is, they can. But
10:46
sometimes, they just don't know how because they're staying at
10:50
the same vibration, and they don't know how to change that.
10:54
So my whole purpose in life now is giving them every tool in the
11:00
huge toolbox of the divine, because everyone's different.
11:04
I've got apps, I've got the Miracle Frequency Podcast, I've
11:08
got all of these products, I've got students that come to me to
11:11
learn meditation. Everybody's different, and so you've got to
11:15
give everybody something that they can uplift themselves,
11:19
whether it's just the affirmation songs they listen
11:21
to, which works so powerfully and so quickly. Because you
11:25
can't get a jingle out of your head, which is where you want
11:27
positive thoughts. So the big basket, I don't have a lot of
11:32
baskets. I don't want to be a basket case. It's got to have, I
11:37
think it's best to have one umbrella and just put a lot of
11:41
eggs into that divine purpose to release suffering in the world,
11:48
and to let people know they're not alone. And that everything
11:52
is possible for them if they will just give themselves a yes
11:57
to themselves, to their own life. Yes, I can improve my
12:00
life. No one needs to do it on their own. And those of you who
12:04
are watching this wonderful podcast with Jim, tell everybody
12:08
about it. About Jim's episodes that he'll be doing, because
12:12
this is something that, like, I talk about in my new book,
12:16
Traveling at the Frequency of Fabulosity, and that's where Jim
12:20
is traveling at.
12:26
Jim Price:: We're all on our journey. As I said, life is
12:29
always a never-ending cycle of growth. You could continue to
12:33
learn. Some people might go to college later in life, and
12:39
that's okay. Everything happens with this divine timing of when
12:43
they're supposed to happen. I always talk about that. Because
12:46
sometimes, they talk about the signs of synchronicity, and I'm
12:49
one who always will see the two two twos and one one. Sometimes,
12:52
try to look into what other things mean in terms of
12:55
synchronicity signs. But a lot of that entails a part of that
12:58
healing journey, and trying to process that. Some people, they
13:02
totally get stagnated and are afraid of change, afraid of
13:07
going outside of the box of themselves to kind of want to
13:10
have better. And most people stay stagnant. You might
13:15
complain about things are happening. But if you have
13:18
breath within your body, you're always capable of making change.
13:22
I think a lot of times, people get caught up with not wanting
13:26
to take that leap of faith and move forward, and be like, okay,
13:30
this is what I'm going to do, this is where I want to go. This
13:33
is the direction I want to go to change my life for the better.
13:36
Put yourself in a positive mindset in that way. All that
13:39
stuff totally resonates, I'm sure, with our audience as well
13:42
as we talk about those ideas of growth, development and pushing
13:46
forward to progress. Everybody's journey is different. But the
13:51
way you get to where you want to go is always going to be
13:54
different for everyone. That definitely resonates with me in
13:57
that way. I also wanted to get into maybe future projects
14:05
moving toward. I know you have a lot that you could talk about
14:07
those elements in terms of the things that you're doing now,
14:11
and maybe things you'll be looking forward to the future.

14:53
Michele Blood:: Well, I'm always creating something. What happens
14:56
is just, it's nonstop. There's always something going on. We've
15:01
got 5 beautiful apps, but we spent years putting that
15:04
together. The True Prayer app that we've just released, and
15:07
it's not religious, it's spiritual. So any person of any
15:14
faith can really benefit from it, because it's me knowing the
15:17
truth for them. I've always loved to pray ever since I was a
15:20
little girl. I went to church every morning when I was a
15:21
little girl.
15:22
Jim Price:: Me too. I know, I was with my mom and my sister.
15:30
Michele Blood:: I went every morning with the nuns. These
15:33
Irish Catholic nuns in the countryside of Blue Mountains of
15:36
Australia, I just loved them. I've always loved prayer. The
15:41
prayers are under a lot of different categories that come
15:43
with affirmations and also guided meditations, it's called
15:47
True Prayer App. Just go to trueprayerapp.com, it's for all
15:51
phones. Howley and Fowler who helped develop it. Johnny and
15:57
Dara and Trevor Rogers, our team. Hundreds of prayers I did.
16:02
I do new categories all the time. I've just done a new
16:04
category for miracles, and a new category for people that are
16:08
sensitive souls that find it hard to handle navigating the
16:12
world. Because when people got negative energy, it hurts them.
16:15
I've done prayers for them. Prayers if of the jealous,
16:18
prayers to heal the people that are jealous of you, mourning a
16:22
pet, mourning a person, every category you can imagine to. How
16:28
to stop self-sabotage prayers to gain self-esteem, prayers with
16:32
no ego involved just to allow your spirit to soar. So that was
16:38
my favorite thing that we've done until recently when we
16:40
started the Miracle Frequency Podcast with Michelle Blood.
16:45
It's more like an app. Almost every week, I talk about a
16:49
different topic just for a few minutes, and then a guided
16:52
meditation, then a prayer, then affirmations, and then one of my
16:57
affirmation songs at the end. So it's just 20 minutes of
16:59
gorgeous, uplifting, beautiful stuff. Two things, the live
17:06
events that I put on, I'm putting on a big one at the end
17:09
of September where people can fly in from all over the world,
17:12
and we're just going to deep meditation, and to really get
17:16
people to recalibrate when it's in person. Because before the
17:21
lockdown, I was doing them all over the world. Live events. I
17:25
love having a whole group of people that just really have
17:29
shown up because they want to change. Just the fact that they
17:31
show up will shift you. Even if you've shown up for the podcast
17:37
today, this is going to shift you in a positive way. I thank
17:42
you for asking me, Jim. Thanks very much. What about you? Oh,
17:45
my new podcast. I think it's called The Purpose and Progress.
17:51
Jim Price:: You were mentioning that it's interesting that you
17:53
mentioned the prayer aspect of everything that you're doing
17:55
too, because I definitely believe in prayer. Any project
18:00
that I put together, I'm always making sure I put a prayer
18:02
before I do anything. I have understanding that because of
18:06
those prayers, a lot of doors open up. All the stuff that's
18:09
happened up to this point, it's just been through the power of
18:12
prayer, and understanding that trying to incite the ideas of a
18:16
positive mindset and inspire others to be positive too.
18:21
You're gonna probably have people be more positive when you
18:26
yourself are that beacon and try to shine yourself in your own
18:29
way of being positive, showing people that there is a way to
18:34
navigate a lot of terrains of trauma and unhealed trauma. All
18:38
the things, my childhood traumas, all the different
18:41
things that entail things that people hold on to. And
18:44
sometimes, never really tackle, and try to actually go through,
18:47
and heal on those actions of themselves so they could become
18:51
more clear, have a clear consciousness and awareness of
18:54
themselves too, as well. I definitely resonate with that. I
18:58
always add prayer, and I definitely do that a lot.
19:03
Michele Blood:: Jim, guess what, we're in synergy, red hot
19:08
energy, positive energy, built into synergy.
19:14
Jim Price:: That's what I'm talking about. Talk about
19:18
affirmation, man. People sometimes don't really look at
19:21
that as aspect for change, healing and stuff. They think
19:25
about just a prayer. But there's a lot of different connotations
19:28
that go with that in a whole. All the stuff you're doing is
19:35
absolutely amazing, Michele. We still on our journey. Still
19:39
pushing and trying to inspire change across the world. And
19:43
with families, children, adults and everybody, I think that's so
19:48
wonderful. All the things that you're doing in terms of
19:50
everything. One of the things I would like to say, and I always
19:53
make sure my guests have the opportunity to really hear, if
19:57
you were to give your advice in terms of people who may feel
20:02
like they're kind of stagnant and have been stuck, what advice
20:06
would you give for those folks to maybe push through that wall
20:10
and get through that obstacle of being in that stagnant energy?
20:15
What advice would you give to those folks?
20:17
Michele Blood:: Well, there's three things. I like the
20:19
question. First of all, I'm going to give away my favorite
20:23
album which they can listen to, that I did with Bob Proctor,
20:29
Songs for Success. So you just listen to it over and over
20:32
again, but got to do some something physical as well.
20:35
You've got to declutter your home. Because if your
20:40
consciousness is looking at clutter everywhere, or
20:43
untidiness, or even cobwebs in your mind, you get cobwebs in
20:50
your mind then. And so it's really important to make your
20:54
place as zen as possible because that will help your
20:56
consciousness so much. You will have huge change if you do that.
21:02
And there are very inexpensive decluttering people that started
21:06
their own little businesses during the lockdown that you can
21:09
hire if you don't want to do it yourself. Oh, I don't know,
21:12
maybe that dress will fit one day. Get rid of it. Get rid of
21:16
it if you haven't worn it. And also to stop complaining. If you
21:21
can stop complaining for 21 days and realize that when you
21:25
complain, it's because you are afraid of losing something
21:29
you've got. Or not getting something you want, and you mask
21:32
it. You mask your fear by complaining about people,
21:36
places, or things. I know that none of you are nasty people, so
21:40
you probably don't feel good when you complain about people,
21:43
places, or things because that's not your natural state. Beauty,
21:48
love, compassion and finding other people interesting, not
21:52
just worrying about if they find you interesting. If you can stop
21:56
complaining for 21 days, and I'll tell you this much, if you
22:00
find you're beginning, you're halfway through a complaint but
22:04
you can stop yourself halfway through and shift your attention
22:09
to something positive to say instead, and if you're at day 20
22:13
and you complain, start at day one again. 21 days of stopping
22:17
complaining will change your life. Your frequency will be so
22:22
much faster. You'll be able to see the opportunities for your
22:25
life that you never saw before that were always there. Divine
22:29
angels. The divine always gives you everything that will bring
22:32
you divine purpose, and help you get out of a rabbit hole no
22:36
matter if it's a rabbit hole of money or whatever. But if you do
22:39
these things, you will absolutely change your life
22:43
within a month. It'll be unbelievable. You won't
22:45
recognize who you were. It's not easy. People complain all the
22:49
time, but don't stop.
22:58
Jim Price:: That definitely is something that happens when I
23:01
was mentioning stagnation and stuff. People complain, but then
23:04
they don't take action to change the dynamics of the things that
23:07
are happening in their life. But they'll continue to complain.
23:09
It's almost like a hamster wheel where they're going through
23:12
these things. Like I said, you got to be able to take action if
23:16
you want true change in your life. And all those things are
23:19
definitely important in that progress and purpose of being
23:22
able to do those kind of things. How can our viewers connect with
23:26
you in terms to all your books and programs? How can our
23:32
audience connect with you? What's the best way for them to
23:34
connect with you?
23:35
Michele Blood:: Well, today, there's 15 years of teachings
23:39

23:42
stop your thought and meditate. That whole audio program is

24:13
It's an amazing thing, students and like-minded people from all
24:18
over the globe. And we have these Zooms together and live
24:21
events. It's just an incredibly happy and lovely way to be
24:26
uplifted and find like-minded souls that do find other people
24:30
interesting.
24:33
Jim Price:: That is so wonderful. The work you're
24:35
doing, Michele, is so much needed in the world. I'm just so
24:39
thankful and grateful that I've been able to share some time and
24:42
actually talk about your journey. Sometimes, people see
24:46
the success, but they don't know the journey that it took to get
24:48
to that success. And that's what I try to add The Purpose and
24:52
Progress podcast to touch upon those things. So Michele, it's
24:55
been such a great honor to have you on the show. We'll put your
25:01
all your websites, link and everything as we get forward
25:05
with everything and all that stuff. But it's such a pleasure.
25:09
And once again, everybody is always about pushing forward,
25:13
making progress through your purpose, and just trying to be a
25:16
better person each and every day. So once again, this is The
25:19
Purpose and Progress Podcast Show with your host, Dr. Jim
25:22
Price. And today, we had a guest, Michele Blood. And we had
25:26
a great conversation here. Don't forget to subscribe to the
