RMP 088 - You Belong To Spirit with Jamie Schuster

Fresh off co-leading the HAKA event on Muscle Beach earlier this month, our Maori brother from New Zealand, Jamie Schuster, is on the show to impart his wisdom on healing, belonging, and getting support. Only when we are truly behind a mission greater than ourselves will we be prosperous and abundant. When we belong, we tend to act in the best interest of the group. This is a much healthier way of being, as the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Just remember, we all have our place in this grand play and will always belong to spirit.
