Forgiveness is an Inside Job for Inner Peace & Personal Growth

Forgiveness is an Inside Job for Inner Peace & Personal Growth

Forgiveness is an opportunity for personal growth we all experience at some point. We get to choose what we do or don’t do with this energy. Do we hold them prisoner to their past self? Do you lock yourself up in a prison of pain prevention? You cannot bypass this important process, nor should we hold onto the suffering. Through ancient wisdom and ascended masters, we can learn to transmute this suffering by understanding the spiritual reason we have come to learn this very poignant lesson. Mistakes are a rite of passage to discovering who we are not, while forgiveness is the sacred journey to move beyond the pain so you can know inner peace.

In Times of Polarity, Unite

In Times of Polarity, Unite

Step out of polarity and away from divisive manipulation. Like puppeteers wrangling the marionette, people are being put against people using long-practiced motives by agencies as high up as it goes. Let's reset our humanity and walk out on the most toxic paradigm of our time. It is time to seek your inner compass to guide us as individuals out of this old world system and into the unknown - where things we haven't yet known can be created - where unity will be waiting.

Conversations with Kids About Sex, Body Image, Shame & Guilt

Conversations with Kids About Sex, Body Image, Shame & Guilt

We're talking healthy body image and sex education for children and parents with special guest Maylia who is 14 years old. Our youth are being used for the sexual dysfunction of adults. Through the toys that they play with, the media distortion of body image, the readily available pornography, and the online access to people beyond your control, our kids are seeing things and doing things that rob them of their youth and will have negative effect on their future relationships. Where does this start? How are we teaching self-respect and sacred intimacy if we are in a society that creates body image shame and guilt? We discuss this and more.

Change Starts from Within: 2020 - RISE up

This TIME we are in needs "us" to rise up more than ever before.
With chaos and corruption from
politics

- racism

division

... We can see major healing needs to happen.


What is our part in all of this?
What are the solutions?


Let’s have conversations, and let's move past social engineering on every topic that herds us into more division. Let’s be about the solutions.


We have a powerful opportunity to be on the planet right now. How can we individually make the greatest impact which permeates into the collective field?


2020 what are you here to teach me?
2020 how might I show up and be of service?
2020 let me rise in my purpose - it matters more now than ever!

Overcoming Fear During Uncertain Times

Overcoming Fear During Uncertain Times

How might we show up in times of fear and uncertainty? You are more capable and equipped with far more resources and wisdom than you might have thought. In a world where we are bombarded with fear and no solutions, where do we go for answers? Let's all have a discussion and unravel the programming, upgrade internally, and be curious what is beneath fear. Underneath fear is some of our greatest insight on how to show up bigger and brighter than ever before.

Detox Your Thoughts - New Year Resolutions

Detox Your Thoughts - New Year Resolutions

Do you know what is more important than your resolution to "_______" insert anything here?
.
Change the way you think about "it" first! Detox your thoughts!
.
January's frequency is all about change, and the best way to hold onto these resolutions you seek is to change your mind about it completely.
.
"I want to stop feeling fat and unhealthy." This is what I hear from clients often. What they don't expect to hear is that the resolution can be immediate even though they often think it will take much time and a lot of work to resolve their state of "fat and unhealthy."
.
The more consistently they change their mindset, the more their behaviors align with their desired outcome.
.
You see, you can't exercise till you drop, eat #veganuary, journal because you're told to, restrict your favorite things, or change anything from anything less than "love" as your driving force.
.
From ***already*** loving yourself so much, you eat healthy and delicious foods.
.
From so much gratitude for it, as it is today, you move your vessel (your body) in healthy ways consistently.
.
From the emotions you'll feel once you reach "this goal," you visualize already having completed it.
.
Rather than focusing on all that you "don't want any longer" or "don't have but really want" - feel, think, speak, and act from the place of already being there.

A Lesson on Forgiveness

A Lesson on Forgiveness

Whether this story describes an actual event or not is unknown. However the lesson it teaches is tremendously beautiful and important. In essence, the story reminds us that nobody is perfect, and everyone is continuously changing and progressing in their journey of spiritual growth. Therefore we should not be quick to judge others and take things personally, but realize where they are coming from and handle them with a compassionate attitude no matter if they have treated us badly in the past.

We must normalize this conversation! In this episode, we discuss holistic ways to self evaluate and evolve your mental health.

Energetic Healing - understanding the mind-body connection

In this episode, we uncover how your emotions, thought patterns, and personal history impact your physical body through symptoms and 'dis'ease. We discuss the mind-body healing components necessary to releasing symptoms such as where grief lives in the body and what symptoms that might be causing. If you do not address the emotional underlying causes, then no matter how much you supplement, change your diet, or work on the physical issue, it may potentially come back or not fully heal. Conquer the mind, it's where Healing begins and ends.

Conscious Living with Kids - Maylia

Conscious Living with Kids - Maylia

Hear what 13-year-old Maylia has to say about creating consciousness as a teenager. Gain insight from a parent of 3 girls about how to create consciousness in our children. The very nature of the world around us creates anxiety that we must fend off on a daily basis or else it will build up and lead to illness and 'dis'ease. Kids are often left to be entertained by social media and technology, which further detaches them from conscious living and the tools needed to process everyday stress.

Basics of Astrology for Self-reflection

Basics of Astrology for Self-reflection

How many times have you wished your child came with an instruction book? Or your relationship came with a guide book? Or yourself, came with a book of reason?

Thankfully, it does and it is in the sky. Astrology is your blueprint from which you can better understand yourself, your children, your relationships, and everyone around you.

It is an excellent tool for @theselfstudyproject as it will enable you to create understanding and go with the flow, rather than continue to swim upstream.

This podcast covers the basics but each month we will move along the chart and delve deeper.
