The energy was electric at the Oscar Viewing Party, where the night was truly illuminated by the presence of Michael Barrios—a man whose vibrant energy, wisdom, and warmth captivated all who met him.
A multi-bestselling author, holistic healer, and visionary, Michael embodies the intersection of ancient healing traditions and modern wellness practices. His contributions to the literary and wellness worlds are profound, and his work continues to inspire and heal people on a global scale.
Michael is featured in three transformative books with Radhaa Publishing House:
Awakening Starseeds: Dreaming Into the Future, Volume 3: A deep exploration of the cosmic forces guiding humanity’s awakening. Michael’s chapter speaks to the importance of reconnecting with our higher selves to embrace our soul’s purpose.
Energy Healing & Soul Medicine: A transformative collection that offers practical healing tools and insights. Michael shares his wisdom on the healing power of breathwork and energy medicine.
Infinite Cosmic Records: Doorways to Healing & Remembering: Michael’s contribution to this book offers profound insights into how past-life healing and ancestral wisdom can unlock our soul’s deepest potential.
But Michael’s talents expand far beyond being a Best Selling Author—he’s a true pioneer in holistic wellness, seamlessly blending movement, energy healing, and spiritual wisdom to guide others toward total well-being. As a Holistic Lifestyle Coach and Personal Trainer, Michael’s mission is to support individuals on a journey of body, mind, and spirit alignment. He is also co-creating Engkanto Garden Farm, a biodynamic sanctuary where children and adults can reconnect with nature, ancestral wisdom, and holistic healing practices.
Michael’s path to healing was not always straightforward. His early life was steeped in athleticism—he was an elite pole vaulter and cross-country runner, competing at the collegiate and amateur levels. Yet, beneath the surface of athletic triumphs, Michael struggled with deep depression and addiction. At his lowest, he realized that true healing transcends the physical and must address the whole human.
Determined to heal and grow, Michael turned to holistic wellness. His exploration into this realm led him to become a Licensed Holistic Practitioner through the Chek Institute. He furthered his knowledge and training in several transformative disciplines:
- Reiki & Pranic Healing at Holomua Healing Arts (under Britt Yap)
- Filipino Healing Arts at the Kailukuan School of Indigenous Science (under Virgil Apostol)
- Somatic Breathwork & Sound Healing, guiding hundreds in trauma release
- Ancestral & Past Life Healing with Maya Verzonilla (Maya The Shaman)
Through his work with Maya, Michael unlocked past-life memories and ancestral wisdom that reshaped his understanding of healing. These profound revelations laid the foundation for his own unique healing modality—The Breath of Maharlika.
The Breath of Maharlika: A Sacred Healing Modality
In a world where many healing practices focus solely on the mind, body, or spirit, Michael’s Breath of Maharlikaapproach unites all three. It is a heart-centered modality that integrates ancestral wisdom, breathwork, and energy healing to facilitate profound healing and transformation.
By working with this sacred modality, individuals are guided to release deep-seated trauma, honor their emotional sensitivity, and reconnect with their sacred heart. Michael often says:
“All healing begins in the heart and materializes through the mind’s intention. When we release trauma from the body—not just the mind—we can truly allow love to enter.”
Through his journey, Michael discovered that healing is not only a physical or mental process but an emotional and spiritual one. The Breath of Maharlika invites people to address their trauma at the cellular level, allowing them to heal from within.
Creating a Sanctuary for Healers & Future Generations
Michael’s work goes beyond individual healing—he is committed to creating a space for healing, wisdom-keepers, and future generations of healers. Splitting his time between the San Francisco Bay Area and Engkanto Garden Farm in Corona, CA, Michael is cultivating a sacred space dedicated to healing, restoration, and Lemurian knowledge. This biodynamic farm serves as a sanctuary where individuals of all ages can reconnect with nature, ancestral practices, and holistic health.
At Engkanto Garden Farm, Michael’s mission is clear: To help individuals heal their past, so they can embrace love and joy in the present
To nurture and support sensitive, gifted children, helping them step into their sacred purpose
To uplift humanity by restoring ancient wisdom and holistic health practices
This space is more than just a farm; it is a haven for healers, a place where ancient wisdom is preserved and shared, and where the next generation of empaths and healers are supported in their divine work.
Michael’s Contributions to Radhaa Publishing House
Michael’s voice echoes through the pages of several best-selling books published by Radhaa Publishing House, offering wisdom and guidance to those seeking spiritual and emotional healing. Through his work with Radhaa Publishing House, Michael’s message of healing, growth, and connection has touched the lives of many, and his words continue to inspire readers and seekers on their own transformative journeys.
A central focus of Michael’s work is helping sensitive, gifted children—those who possess heightened intuition, emotional intelligence, or spiritual gifts. Michael believes these children are the future leaders and healers of the world. However, in conventional educational and societal systems, these children often feel misunderstood and unsupported. Through his healing practices and teachings, Michael empowers these children to embrace their gifts, build emotional resilience, and step into their sacred purpose.
By offering guidance, love, and support, Michael helps these children flourish, reminding them that their sensitivity is not a weakness but a strength. In his eyes, these children are the visionaries and light-bearers our world needs.
