From Oprah & Larry King Live to Prison: What Melvin Morse MD Learned That Changed His Life
If you’ve ever wondered how the most wretched times in our lives can become our greatest gifts, this is a can’t-miss episode of Messages of Hope.
Imagine you are a well-known, accomplished, physician with a New York Times bestseller. You’re an associate professor of Pediatrics at a major university. You’ve been interviewed on Oprah, Larry King Live, in Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Times, and many other outlets.
And then you are convicted of a crime and sent to prison for two years of hard time.
This is Melvin Morse’s life. And he is filled with gratitude for every minute of it.
Join me this Sunday to hear how prison life changed Dr. Morse in the most unexpected and remarkable ways.
After an intervention by his fellow inmates, Dr. Morse gained tremendous insight into human behavior. He went on to teach remote viewing and meditation to other prisoners, learning more than he expected in return
This is a fascinating, uplifting, love-filled, honest interview that will touch your heart and may very well change how you view the world.
For more about Dr. Morse - whose medical license has been reinstated and who now works with The Recidivism Prevention Group which he co-founded, check out his website: www.melvinmorsemd.com/
We will all be interacting LIVE in the comments on the day of the premiere. Hope you'll join us.

I just found Suzanne video's I've been addicted. I had a experience on Wednesday and of course questioned it. And today I believe this video was my validation. Thank you all Suzanne Bev and Lynette this has changed everything for me. ❤️
I am having trouble with this video. It really bothers me that a 250 lb man could “rinse” his 60 pound anorexic step daughter in the tub. While I get that he has been convicted of child endangerment and he has transformed, just hearing that story triggers me. I, like many others in your audience come here for your messages of hope at a time when I am already grieving this one brought me down. I see many people had great value in it and that is good. I see you were touched. That is good. If I were able to get through it perhaps I would too. I am just stopped in my tracks with that visual and cannot hear it all. Suzanne I love your work. This was a hard, impactful, and triggering episode for me. It really surfaced how vulnerable I felt as a child, step child and still. Luckily I was never abused in that way but did have a lot of alcohol and violence surrounding me. I am sharing this comment not to influence your content production, rather to speak to perhaps just that one who was also triggered and let them know they are not alone. Looking forward to your next episode.
@@mmiller1011 Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. As a former abuse investigator at a child crisis center, I understand that this could be difficult to hear for many people who’ve had those experiences. It’s okay not to listen. This a unique video among Suzanne’s work, AND there are many people for whom it could be transformational. Forgiveness of self and others is something many of us struggle with in this lifetime. Please know that Suzanne would not have had Dr. Morse on Messages of Hope if she had not felt into his heart and soul. Blessings to you, dear one.
@@lynettesetzkorn1205 I totally agree. I wanted to speak my thoughts for others as much as myself. It clearly is transformational for many.
I found Suzanne back in October and I’ve been addicted since as well. ❤
I'm so happy I found Suzanne!
Scarlett Lewis was your guest who redefined forgiveness for you. The mom of Jesse who was killed by a school shooter. Later, Scarlett started the Choose Love curriculum (which is amazing- I implemented it after hearing that interview until I retired from the classroom.)
I’ve listened twice and weeped each time! I just appreciate so much how you brought this man and his story to us. 💙💙🙏🙏
This is my favorite interview to date! Profoundly what humanity needs to hear and know. ❤
“For us to transform as a society, we have to allow ourselves to be transformed as individuals. And for us to be transformed…we have to allow for the incompleteness of any of our truths and a real forgiveness for the complexity of human beings.” ~ Angel Kyodo Williams
Anger could be grief...Now THAT hit me.
Wow! I am in awe of Dr. Morse. What an amazing being! There is so much we can all learn from Dr. Morse, hope we continue to hear from him.
Thank you to all of you very very very very very much for this video I sincerely hope that it will be viewed by millions and millions of people. The message and the experience you share really deserve it!
We are all connected! I started meditating and acupressure last year. It changes you internally. God is in the details of our lives! 🙏❤️
The world so needs this story and these lessons. I love what Dr. Morse is saying about meditation. And, fundamentally, we all need to see and acknowledge our shortcomings AND accept and appreciate ourselves as we are.
I love this interview! It made me think about prison reform and also about the kids from the adolescent TX center I worked with. There are some that ended up in prison and turned their life around by taking responsibility for why they were there in prison. And others that didn't and could not forgive themselves or others for their situation. There is so much more to say...thank you!❤
Someone was visiting you in prison, Dr. Morse, and writing posts to keep us all updated. I was fascinated by all you were doing to help the men in your area of the prison. I admire you greatly for this act of respect and caring for these men. I had read at some point that your daughter had recanted her accusation. I was so thankful to hear this as I had not believed you would "water board" any child. We are all grateful the truth came out and you are free and had your license restored. Also, as you said, your experience in prison opened you to a lesson you didn't know you needed. Welcome out and welcome home.
i would like to watch more Q&A sessions! There are so many questions in my mind and I have watched all of the Q&A videos already! Hope you can make more and I m sure so many people love them more too! Thank you!
We will definitely do more. If you have questions you'd like to submit, use the contacts info on my website and put "QUESTION for next Q&A" in subject line.
25:55 to 30:00 are probably the most helpful minutes and words I’ve ever heard. The essence of meditation, the owning of controlling your thoughts, and the shortness of the time it takes to do it were gold. Thank you. Listening to what IS around you…the internal narrator vs the internal Source… grateful. ❤
I could not wait to watch this Podcast! I only just started watching it but just had to say that Dr. Melvin Morse's first book was the beginning of my journey and thirst for NDE's and all that the Spirit and Afterlife (across the veil) can teach us. It awakened in me that inner knowing and remembrance of our "true home". This was over 30 years ago. This is the first I am "listening" to or aware of all that has happened in Dr. Morse's life since I first read his book back in the 90's! I cannot wait to finish watching this podcast and cannot thank you both enough for this. I am sure I would write a "mini novel" of gratitude and more once I finish watching it. Blessings to you both, much love and light!!!! You are both amazing Souls whose "light" and wisdom is so needed in our world today!
❤❤❤ Thank you all and many blessings.
Gracias Susan por la labor que llevas a cabo. Un feliz 2024, greeting from Spain!!!
Thanks to both of you😇😇 I'm 88 and have already rewound over and over😍🤗 I will listen to this may tines😂
Susanne you truly are a messenger of god bringing such amazing conversations to the forefront ! Thank you so much for bringing Dr Melvin on ! God bless you both
I loooooved this interview!! Thanks so much ❤
What a profound talk, so insightful and goose-bumpy all the time. WOW and HOW indeed. Thank you for that!
Thank you for opening up our hearts to all of humanity!! I think that is the greatest lesson of our time. ❤
Profoundly humbling and moving. Thank you to all involved!
This man's story reminds me of a book I read years ago by a man named Starr Daily and his experiences in prison. These experiences do happen and they do transform. Spirit knows and some of us need to be hit over the head many times before we 'get it'. Thanks for inviting this man on your platform. ❤
Dr. Morse, I’m a nurse who read Raymond Moody’s book “Life After Life” in 1975, met him at our hospital in Suffern, NY in early 1976, and he changed my life forever. (Hospice!). I’ve been reading about you in admiration for your studies for decades. But I have to say, after learning about your time in prison tonight, my admiration has multiplied. Thank you SO much for telling us about your spiritual teachings for the angry and forgotten ones, in prison. Your teachings should be implemented across the country - God bless you! ❤️🌟
This changed my life. I am so grateful to have recently found Suzanne
This was fascinating. Very useful descriptions and tips about meditation. It sounds like we make it more complicated than it needs to be. We need to focus more on rehabilitation and teaching new skills such as this and other skills related to emotional intelligence in prisons. I have a friend who helps with a running club in San Quentin Prison that has been life changing for many. I was unfamiliar with this story until now. Thanks to you both.
WOW! That's all I can say! Thank you so much Suzanne and Dr Melvin ❤. Grief has caused me so much pain for so many yrs. I'm going to try to meditate for 1 min 3 mins etc.. Finally forgiveness is my biggest priority. I needed this so much. Thank you with all my heart 🙏💖✨️
I appreciated the comment That went something like get off the main stage and up into the balcony and be the observer. Great visual thanks for that
So much gratitude for this interview
What beautiful and deep lessons of Love. Thank you soooo much❤
What a beautiful enlightening interview. Have watched it twice today. Lots to learn about love and judgment
Yes! this was a very informative interview. Thank you, Suzanne. I think we will start seeing new interventions involving this love approach including forgiveness. And that you will start sharing more of this within your lessons on a different level. We (I) need to hear more of this about remote viewing (this is a new approach) and look forward to what YOU do with this new approach of loving ourselves and others. I also look forward to Dr. Morse's book. Thanks so much, Suzanne!
Wonderful idea for this interview ❤
People need to know that you can come back from anything! This video is more proof of it!
I loved that he got it and is now sharing everything he learned. This was great, Suzanne. Thank you. ❤
@paulohlsson27 I'm having a great day. I know people who have been in prison, and they still have the victim mentality and anger. Thank you.
@paulohlsson27 Today, I am going for a walk to meditate.
@paulohlsson27 I love reading and cooking but haven't had the opportunity to travel. Lately, I have been continuing to learn more about my abilities. I do love to the ocean it's very peaceful there. I hope you are having a great day!
@paulohlsson27 Not much these days, I am hoping to find a partner to do things with.
@paulohlsson27 I don't have a favorite color, I love all happy colors. I do have a color I don't care for, and that is blue. As for music, I love most all of it except for jazz. Favorite flower I think they are all beautiful but I prefer to buy the ones that I can enjoy for one or two weeks. What state are you in?
I appreciate you both deeply. Thank you for this. I will be rewatching with this again and again.
Great, great, great show. He’s an amazingly authentic individual.
What a beautiful message of Hope 🙏🥰❤️❤️💯❤️💯🙏🙏
Such a great interview! I think it was Scarlett Lewis who had that great definition of forgiveness: She was the Sandy Hook mom who made a choice to forgive her son's killer. ❤
Oh my God! This was one of those SAVE TO WATCH AGAIN AND AGAIN interviews that just totally captures your heart! I was a little skeptical to listen at first after I heard about the accusations against Dr. Morse, but I knew that Suzanne had a very intentional purpose for this interview so I knew to trust HER. I can't tell you how deeply this touched me. I am going to start it all over again right now, because I'm sure I can gain even more from these lessons. I'd absolutely love to take part in the Med cruise this fall but not sure it's financially in the cards for us at this time, but I think that, for anyone who is in a position to partake, your life will CHANGE as you awaken more and more to the truths about life and everlife that Suzanne and Sanaya share with you! Do this for yourself!
Thank you for sharing this message great eye opener!!! Love gratitude!!!
I tried to comment on the chat, buy could not find the window to comment.
Very insightful. Thank you 🙏🏼
🙏wow so incredibly powerful learning and messages 🙏❤💫😇🌱Thank you 🙏
Wow, so powerful Suzanne!!! Thank you for this remarkable interview!
What a profound experience Dr. Morse shared with us. I can't help but reflect how relevant self-awareness is to allowing one to reach personal forgiven in the journey of growth, especially when significant life lessons are being processed. I was truly humbled by his words and his strength in recognizing we still must bare responsibility for our actions; not through finding fault or being judgemental, simply accepting responsibility and understanding the suffering of another. And what a significant observation to mention the necessity of reforming our penal system in readdressing how we treat inmates and prepare them for a life beyond their sentencing. This is definitely a video I will watch repeatedly. I am filled with such gratitude for this video.
So beautifully said❤
Beautiful interview 🙏💛
What a profound session!
Incredible. Thank you all. ❤
Not sure what that is Sydney Australia time. Hoping to be awake. LOL. Big black crow like birds called Currawongs are singing magically, and colourful native parrots called lorikeets are raucously calling each other in the background as I type. Hope you come here one day. We can do a traditional backyard BBQ, with steak , we rarely do prawns what you must call shrimp. Fun to dream!! xx
To watch Live in Sydney, tune in at 4am Monday, January 8th. East Coast time in the US is 16 hours behind Sydney. ❤ Love to you from America ❤
This was so AMAZING!! Thank you so much for all the truths you spoke and the insights you shared. Love love love makes the anger , grief, pain go away so wisdom, forgiveness and love in us can bloom!!! Blessing and love to you both!!!❤
@@paulohlsson27 hi it is a beautiful day! How is your day going?
@@paulohlsson27 I love the outdoors, pickleball, horseback riding, gardening, hiking, walking. I like cooking but I like to keep it simple for the most part. My spare time is spent doing art projects such as painting, planting plants, reading and meditating. I have a question I usually do not respond to comments that get a response as in the response from you. Does everyone see this?
I’d love to see Suzanne as a guest on one of Oprah’s super soul Sunday podcasts❤
Thank you so much for sharing that powerful story! I learned a lot ❤
A very special interview! God bless you both, I love these lessons.
This is so beautiful on many levels 🙏 Thank you both, for your honesty and wisdom ❤️
A wonderful interview wit Dr Morse Suzanne. Thank you so much for it as he went certainly has very profound learnings for us all. 😀😘🙏
Beautiful interview
Thank you so much for this video.. such humility. This is a profound conversation and has helped me enormously to understand a “wrong” I believed was “done” to me. I now see my part in it. Very synchronous for me! I do hope this teaching can go further into prisons.
I'm so glad this was helpful and healing for you.
If a safe and quiet space to meditate and listen to our higher self/universe/spirit (or whatever the preferred label) was encouraged and provided to us all from childhood, how would our world be different?❤
Thinking of what “would be if” gives me a sense of loss. Poor us the lost generation. Look what we could have become if only we were given something. Instead of focusing on what would be I rather think of how wonderful it is that we are the ones that are discovering those things now. How wonderful that we are the ones that can start doing it and become the change we are hoping to see in the world. We are the ones that can provide that to the next generations. We are a part of the change. Isn’t that wonderful? And look… we apparently don’t need the “quiet and safe” space for it. If people in prison can do it (hardly a quiet and safe space) what is our excuse?
Thank you for sharing. X
A very important Morse code message❣️😇
Powerful message! However, very challenging to listen to due to poor audio quality. 😇
Thank you both. 🦋
Thanks for the interview!
Thank you Suzanne for this wonderful interview. So many beautiful, kind teachings in it. Thank you 🙏🏾
This talk was so wonderful!!! I love you both. ❤ I have finally started feeling goosebumps and tingling. I thought I was broken 🤣😂 but now it's happening. I watch your videos, or teachings everyday. Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤
Great podcast 🙏🏽
Thank you❤🎉
Thank you
Yes! So true.
Yes! 🎉
Thanks, lovely interview! (Note: If you find listening to his voice difficult, try raising the speed up just a bit to smooth it out…. 1.25x or 1.5x .)
Thanks for the tip, it helped !
Excellent content! however I wasn’t able to clearly catch everything he said; on a technical observation, Dr. Morse might have too much noise suppression enabled in his video chat software - it seemed to either adversely cancel-out his voice or take too much time to recognize that he was speaking. Or perhaps try a dedicated condenser microphone or one capable of adjusting input level. That aside, thank you both for an insightful conversation!
I turned on closed caption which helped a lot!
Italian psycotherapist Roberto Assagioli said in the 1950s, "I have thoughts but I am not my thoughts I am the One who is aware."
Most profound thing he said was as a upper middle class white physician can not imagine......
In your Part 2 (hope!) I wonder if there are any issues or questions for which Dr Morse could NOT lend forgiveness… or could own a certain thing that they said wow… but I’m not able or willing to get to the how of forgiving…
I'm not sure why, but I had trouble watching this video straight through. Suzanne, I noticed that it seemed like you were fidgeting and you had to take what seemed like extra breaths... like you were overwhelmed or something... I hope you are well. Anyway... I'm determined to finish it... I'll do that tomorrow. I love all the work you are doing... and Dr Morse as well. Thank you ❤️
It was hard and triggering.
DR Morse... like the re-incarnation of a young Mel Brooks! but in a heart-warming way!
What is the name of the compassion meditation he referred to?
Tonglen. 🙏🏻
@@SuzanneGiesemann thank you!
I am sure that if he can loosen the tie around his neck, his voice would be less hoarse, but much clearer.
internet says three years in permission not two
What w/ so many M.D.s raised w/ this god-like status in Western societies, it's a wonder he wasn't groveled to in prison. Heroin addicts counseling an M.D.? Truly humbling. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." I believe that's from the bible.

I knew him when he worked with Dr. Christopher. I did not like him. Newspapers lie and there is more to the story yes, but he WAS found guilty of Child Endangerment. It sounds like he has reformed. He said he takes responsibility.
beautiful interview, thank you
