This episode focuses on finding inner peace, achieving emotional balance, and understanding how our internal state ripples outward to affect the people and environment around us.
🔑 Key Concepts & Discussion Points1. The Power of Smiling & EndorphinsMother Teresa Quote: Dina brings up Mother Teresa’s quote, "Peace begins with a smile."
The "Lip Corner" Technique: Fiona explains that physically keeping the corners of the lips turned up—even slightly—triggers the release of endorphins. This physiological response helps reduce negative thinking, relieve stress, and improve overall well-being.2. Inner Alignment vs. External Control
Abraham Hicks Quote: Fiona shares a quote emphasizing that peace is not achieved by attempting to control the external
world, but through internal alignment and accepting where you are in the present moment.
Emerson Reference: Dina references Ralph Waldo Emerson’s idea that "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself," connecting it to Newton's law of cause and effect (every action has a reaction).
- The Ripple (Butterfly) EffectThe hosts discuss how an individual's mood directly impacts others—such as how a customer's attitude at a checkout counter can instantly shift a cashier's demeanor.
Positive energy and peace radiate outward, creating a wider ripple effect in the community.
- Practical Tools for Restoring PeaceFiona highlights several accessible techniques to reset the nervous system when feeling stressed:
Connecting with Nature: Spending time outdoors, touching a houseplant, or simply observing a dandelion growing through sidewalk cement.
Humming: Humming for just 10 seconds helps balance the vagus nerve, which regulates anxiety, stress, and overall bodily organ function.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique / Tapping): A powerful tool to release repetitive negative thoughts or physical tension that disrupt peace.
- Guiding Children Towards Inner Peace Children are naturally born with inner peace, but often lose access to it as they absorb external stress and model adult behavior.
Parents can support children by modeling peacefulness, taking them into nature, and teaching simple micro-practices—like placing a hand over the heart to connect with a happy place, humming, or tapping together.
Key Takeaways & Show Notes
1. The Ripple Effect of Inner PeacePeace Starts Within: True peace isn't created by controlling your environment; it begins with an internal alignment.
The Butterfly Effect: How you present yourself in daily encounters (like interacting with a cashier or server) directly influences the energy of those around you.
2. Practical Micro-Tools for AlignmentThe "Corners Up" Practice: Simply raising the corners of your lips—even without a full smile—triggers endorphin release, lowers stress, and shifts your brain out of negativity.
Humming for 10 Seconds: Vibrational humming stimulates the vagus nerve, helping control anxiety, regulate stress, and balance body systems.
Nature Connection: Taking a moment to notice a flower, listen to bird songs, or sit in a small city park grounds your energy and rebalances your mood.
Sound Healing (Tuning Forks): Using specific frequencies (such as 128 Hz for physical healing/joint pain or 111 Hz for inner peace) helps realign the body’s natural vibrational state.
EFT / Tapping: A powerful tool for unsticking repetitive, negative thoughts that disrupt peace.
3. Passing Peace On to ChildrenLead by Example: Children naturally possess inner peace, but they lose touch with it when they model adult stress. Being peaceful ourselves is the best teaching tool.
Fun, Teachable Practices: Encourage kids to place a hand over their heart, listen to nature's sounds, or hum when feeling overwhelmed.

In this episode, Sabine sits down with Fiona Whitmore to talk about her book Barefoot Enlightenment — and what it really means to be "naturally enlightened." Fiona shares how we all begin in a state of unconscious enlightenment, the wholeness we're born into as children, before life's struggles and disruptions pull us away from it. But those very struggles, she explains, become the path back — not away from enlightenment, but toward consciously inhabiting it. No one has more or less enlightenment than anyone else; the only difference is how aware we are of the light we already carry. It's a conversation about remembering rather than achieving, and about how the hardest parts of our lives can become the doorway home.
You can find this book on Amazon and Kindle.

Key Themes & Topics Covered
Ancient Buildings as Acoustic Phenomena
- Ancient structures — especially the Bent Pyramid — appear to have been designed as sound and acoustic environments
- Chambers in the Great Pyramid, including the Queen's Chamber, have been filled with rubble over time, effectively silencing what may have been active acoustic spaces
- These chambers likely had resonant and vibrational qualities that are no longer accessible in their current state
Luke's Personal Experience in the King's Chamber
- The King's Chamber contains a large granite sarcophagus (approximately 7 feet long)
- When a frequency of approximately 72 Hz is sounded and someone adds a tone of 270–273 Hz, a third pitch emerges — together creating something akin to white noise
- Luke lay inside the sarcophagus during this experiment and experienced dizziness and an altered state
- Afterward, he removed his shoes and socks and placed bare hands and feet on the stone while doing meditative breathing — a visual appeared: a doorway receding into the distance, which stopped when he stopped breathing, and transformed into a blue door before disappearing
- His interpretation: these chambers may have functioned as portals of consciousness or connection — not necessarily to the stars, but to altered states
The Writing Mystery of the Great Pyramid
- Unlike virtually all other Egyptian structures from the 4th Dynasty of Pharaoh Khufu, the rooms inside the Great Pyramid contain no official writings or inscriptions
- Hieroglyphs and texts are abundant in tombs throughout Egypt — but not here
- Even the workers' tombs (which Luke had rare access to) contain no such writings in this context
- This remains one of the great unexplained anomalies of Egyptology
Sound as a Universal Principle
- Cymatics: Sumerian artifacts appear to depict what we now recognize as cymatic frequency patterns — the visual geometry created when sound moves through sand or water
- Everything may ultimately be frequency — a view shared across many ancient traditions
- Royal Rife's theory: all living beings resonate at particular frequencies; health is a matter of maintaining the right frequency, and his device was designed to heal by targeting specific frequencies
- Harvard University is currently conducting research into treating cancer with sound
Ancient Sound Hospitals
- Hakim Awyen has claimed that Saqqara contained a sound hospital: patients lay on a pedestal in the center of a room while a healer placed their head in a stone alcove, using acoustic resonance to promote healing
- Luke visited this site but is careful not to make definitive claims about its function
Sound as a Physical Force — Moving Stone
- German explorers in Tibet documented monks moving large stone blocks through coordinated chanting and sound
- Modern science can now move small objects with sound
- The question Luke raises: could an ancient civilization have mastered acoustic levitation or manipulation of matter at a large scale?
The Possibility of a Lost Advanced Civilization
- Evidence suggests humanity has emerged from "stone age" conditions multiple times
- Göbekli Tepe was deliberately buried thousands of years ago — by whom and why?
- South America contains ancient sites and structures that point to pre-known civilizations
- Beneath the Step Pyramid at Saqqara: 40,000 vessels made of corundum (a material so hard only corundum or diamond can cut it), polished to a high finish with tiny holes — attributed to pre-dynastic cultures because they predate known Egyptian dynasties
- Imhotep later created similar but far less refined vessels, suggesting knowledge was lost or degraded
- In 1500 BC, Assyrian explorers found a civilization they could not identify — we have a long history of not knowing our own history
The Healing Power of Sound — Personal and Universal
- A Tibetan monk sustaining a single tone emotionally broke Luke open — one note, enormous effect
- The bagpipes at his father's funeral released deep emotion — both harmonic and dissonant, a profoundly powerful instrument
- Indian mantras — some of the most ancient known — are available to experience on YouTube and carry similar power
- Indigenous peoples of South America and Egypt remain strongly connected to ancient energies at these sites — Luke describes that connection as palpable and very powerful
The Granite Boxes — Not Sarcophagi?
Hakim Awyan believed that the quartz-granite boxes found in pyramid chambers were not sarcophagi at all, but were designed for people to lie in and absorb the healing frequency the chamber resonated. He noted that sound chambers like those in the Red Pyramid are designed exactly like modern acoustic therapy chambers used by sound therapists today.
Luke's Documentary
- Luke is currently developing a documentary exploring all of these themes: ancient sound structures, healing frequencies, lost civilizations, and the living connection that indigenous peoples maintain to these ancient energies
Key Names & Concepts to Explore
- Royal Rife — frequency-based healing theory
- Hakim Awyen — Egyptian researcher claiming Saqqara as a sound hospital
- Imhotep — ancient Egyptian architect and physician

The Sound Healer You Already Are
"Even if you have no musical ability, we are all sound healers." Jonathan Goldman, pioneer of sound healing.
You are a natural sound healer — and it has been with you since birth.
In this episode of Strive Radio, host Fiona sits down with sound healer and integration coach Sabine Sladek to explore how we can reawaken this ancient, built-in medicine. While children instinctively use raw vocalizations, humming, and chanting to process trauma and pain, modern culture slowly teaches us to silence ourselves as we grow up — convincing us our voices have to sound "professional" or "perfect" to count.
Sabine shares her own journey of using unpolished, unfiltered sound to move through deep grief, and explains why letting out the "weird" or uncomfortable noises is often the exact key to breaking through stuck energy.
In this episode, we explore:
- Reclaiming the Instinct — looking back at childhood to see how sound has been healing you all along
- The "Ugly" Sound Miracle — why effective sound healing isn't about making pretty music, but letting out the raw, disjointed tones of where it actually hurts
- Healing on the Go — simple daily habits like humming in the car, focusing vibration into your hands, or venting into a pillow to release empathic stress and rebalance your system

What is EFT / Tapping?
EFT is a form of psychological acupressure rooted in the same ancient energy meridian system used in traditional Chinese acupuncture — a system that has supported healing for over 5,000 years. Rather than using needles, tapping works by gently stimulating specific meridian points on the body with your fingertips while focusing on an emotional or physical issue.
The result? A natural restoration of the body's energetic balance — and often, profound relief.
Key Voices in the Tapping World
Gary Craig — the founder of EFT — developed the technique building on the earlier work of psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan, who created Thought Field Therapy. Gary has been passionate about the connection between our inner world and outer life since the age of thirteen, recognizing early on that the quality of our thoughts shapes the quality of our experience.
Nick Ortner, author and founder of The Tapping Solution, describes EFT as something anyone can learn in minutes — a practical tool for releasing life's stresses and stepping into the life you most want and deserve. Learn more at thetappingsolution.com
Why Tapping Works
At its core, EFT works by supporting the natural flow of energy within the body. When we experience stress, trauma, or emotional upheaval, that energy can become blocked or disrupted. Tapping gently restores the flow — helping the body return to its naturally balanced, healthy state. It has been shown to provide relief across a wide range of physical and emotional challenges, and is generally gentle enough for almost anyone to use.
Try It Yourself
Tapping is simple. It is accessible. And it works. If you've never tried it before, this episode is your invitation to begin.

Jill's story is deeply moving, and the way it weaves together with the themes of Barefoot Enlightenment is beautiful.
Draft Description:
In this episode of Earth Tribe Radio, Fiona shares the heart behind Barefoot Enlightenment — why she wrote it, and how spirituality has become so complicated that we've forgotten the simplest truth: who we already are.
She and Jill explore the ancient power of sound — the drum as the heartbeat of the earth, the flute, the rattle — and how these simple instruments can wake us up to the gifts and abilities we didn't even know we had. Because the earth's rhythm is already within us. We just need something to call us home.
Jill also shares her own profound journey. After ten years of living with cancer — now spread to her bones and entering a new chapter of radiation — she speaks not from a place of collapse, but of quiet radiance. She has moved into what she calls "the quality of life stage," and what has emerged is startling: she is happier than she has been in a long time.
She talks about practicing having no preferences, about finding something each day that made her laugh, about the gifts of her animals and the wildlife around her. She can no longer travel the world as she once did — so now she travels within. And even as anger and pain exist all around her, she meets each person she encounters with one intention: kindness.
This is a conversation about what it means to stop covering up who you really are — and let the drum, the rattle, and the quiet courage of living fully bring you back.

From Trash to Treasure: The Art of Conscious Living Through Recycling, Reusing & Kitchen Garden Magic
Join us on a transformative journey that proves sustainability isn't just about saving the planet—it's about reconnecting with the natural cycles of life right in your own home. In this enlightening episode, we explore the profound practice of giving new life to what others discard, turning everyday "waste" into abundance.
Discover the Magic of Kitchen Scrap Gardening
Ever thrown away the end of a green onion, the base of celery, or the top of a carrot? What if we told you these "scraps" hold the power to become thriving plants on your windowsill or in your garden? We'll guide you through simple, accessible techniques for regrowing vegetables from parts you'd normally toss—including lettuce hearts, herb stems, potato eyes, ginger root, garlic cloves, and so much more. No fancy equipment needed, just water, soil, sunlight, and a little patience.
You'll learn which vegetables regrow fastest (hello, green onions in just days!), which ones provide the most rewarding harvests, and the meditative joy of watching life regenerate from what seemed "finished." This practice isn't just practical—it's a daily reminder that nothing is truly waste, everything has potential, and nature's generosity is limitless when we pay attention.
The Deeper Practice of Reuse & Recycle
But this episode goes beyond gardening tips. We explore the spiritual dimension of conscious consumption—how the act of reusing and recycling becomes a meditation on abundance versus scarcity, gratitude versus entitlement, and our intimate relationship with the Earth. When we choose to repair rather than replace, to repurpose rather than discard, we're making a statement about our values and our place in the web of life.
We'll share creative ideas for transforming household items into new treasures: glass jars becoming planters or storage, old fabrics finding new purpose, composting as a sacred return to the soil, and the revolutionary act of simply buying less while appreciating more.
A Barefoot Approach to Environmental Stewardship
This is sustainability stripped of guilt and preachiness—just practical wisdom, inspiring stories, and the gentle reminder that small, consistent actions create profound change. Whether you're a seasoned eco-warrior or just beginning to question your relationship with consumption, this episode offers accessible pathways to living more lightly on the Earth while growing more abundance in your life.
Perfect for anyone who wants to reduce their environmental footprint, save money, reconnect with natural cycles, or simply experience the quiet miracle of watching a carrot top sprout new green life in a dish of water on their kitchen counter.
Join us for this grounded, inspiring conversation that proves enlightenment isn't just about meditation cushions and mountaintops—it's also about dirt under your fingernails and the joy of creating something from "nothing."

This episode explores the vital importance of creating intentional ceremonies around sleep and waking. Key practices include avoiding screens, news, and stimulating content for one hour before bed and one hour after waking - the blue light suppresses melatonin. The stimulating content keeps the brain active when it needs to wind down or gently wake up. This is particularly important for brain health as we age.
The episode emphasizes keeping electronics out of the bedroom entirely to avoid electromagnetic interference with the body's natural rhythms. A core teaching is "accept everything, then work out what you can do from this moment on" - if you can't take practical action now, write it down or set it aside rather than worrying, which blocks connection to your source.
The practice of gratitude bookends the day: expressing appreciation before sleep and upon waking creates a comforting container for rest. When sleep is elusive, focus on thankfulness and really feel that connection. These simple ceremonies of digital boundaries, acceptance, and gratitude can transform sleep from mere rest into sacred restoration.

In times like these, when the political landscape feels turbulent and unsettling, it's natural to feel lost, alone, and confused. Many of us are experiencing a kind of collective disorientation, wondering how to hold our center when the ground beneath us seems to be constantly shifting. But this is precisely when our spiritual practice becomes most essential. Finding our center isn't about understanding everything that's happening around us or having all the answers—it's about returning to that still point within ourselves, that place of natural enlightenment that exists beneath all the noise and fear. When we feel scattered by external chaos, we can pause, breathe, and remember that our true nature remains untouched by circumstances. The practice is simple but not always easy: notice when fear arises, acknowledge it without judgment, and gently bring your awareness back to your breath, your body, the present moment. This isn't about bypassing what's real or pretending everything is fine—it's about cultivating an inner stability that allows us to respond rather than react, to act from wisdom rather than panic. In difficult times, our greatest gift to ourselves and to the world is to remain anchored in our own truth, to trust that even when we can't see the path forward clearly, we can take one conscious step at a time.
Here's this rewritten in your voice:
Research is showing us something remarkable: when we open our hearts in compassion, our bodies respond with the same pleasure signals we get from sex, delicious food, or a beautiful holiday by the ocean. Being compassionate isn't just good for the soul—it literally heals our bodies. When we give from this place, we experience what people call the "giver's high"—our stress melts away, our hearts find their natural rhythm, and our immune systems grow stronger.
Real compassion asks more of us than simple kindness. It means we sit with someone and truly feel into their experience. We listen deeply, we ask questions, we let ourselves be touched by what they're going through. Yes, we become emotionally involved—that's the whole point. We don't just observe their suffering from a safe distance. We step into it with them and ask, "What do you need? How can I help?"
This might be sitting with a friend who's facing illness, or being present for someone who's just lost their job and doesn't know what comes next. It could mean holding space for a relative who's grieving a death, or standing beside someone whose marriage is ending. Sometimes it's simply looking a homeless person in the eye and seeing their humanity, asking what would truly serve them in that moment.
This is the practice that transforms us both.
We slowly realize that feeling lost and alone is a road to finding our inner peace.
The Dalai Lama said, "As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings."

Beyond Borders: A Spiritual Journey Home. The Odiyana Project on YouTube. www.Tibetanaidfoundation.org
After a worldwide quest for meaning following personal tragedy, a couple returns to America with newfound perspective. Having traveled through India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, they share profound insights about appreciating American freedom while reflecting on global inequality, spiritual growth, and their humanitarian work establishing an orphanage abroad. This thought-provoking conversation explores what truly matters in life beyond material comfort. A significant portion of the conversation centers on their humanitarian work, specifically the establishment of an orphanage in India through their foundation, the Tibetan Aid Foundation. The project provides shelter, food, education, and hope to children who previously had no future, including a 12-year-old boy they adopted whose parents had been forced to sell him due to extreme poverty.
The podcast highlights themes of gratitude, perspective, the search for meaning, and finding joy in helping others despite personal tragedy. It serves as a reminder to focus on what we have rather than what we lack, especially when comparing the different types of struggles faced by people in wealthy versus developing nations.
Key Points:* The couple's spiritual journey was prompted by the loss of their son and feelings of emptiness despite material comfort in America * They visited India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, meeting spiritual teachers including the Dalai Lama * They gained perspective on American abundance compared to the basic survival struggles in developing countries * They established an orphanage in India that provides children with basic necessities and hope for the future * The conversation emphasizes gratitude and focusing on what we have rather than what we lack
"Paws to Remember: Navigating Pet Loss and Celebration of Life"
When we lose a pet, we lose a family member who provided unconditional love and companionship. Here are some meaningful ways to cope with the grief and celebrate their life. We explored our experiences and how we coped with our many pets' deaths. There are ways to make it less painful and yet still acknowledge the love and connection with them. Dealing with Pet Loss
Acknowledge your grief - Pet loss is a legitimate and often a very powerful experience. We need to acknowledge our grief. Allow ourselves to feel sad, angry, or whatever emotions arise.
Create rituals - Hold a small memorial service, plant a tree, or create a photo album to mark their passing.
Join support groups - Connect with others who understand pet loss through online or in-person support groups.
Take care of yourself - Maintain routines, get adequate sleep, and engage in gentle physical activity.
Seek professional help if needed - If grief overwhelms you, therapists specializing in pet loss can provide guidance.
Celebrating Their Life
Memory box - Collect meaningful items like collars, toys, and photos in a special container.

Welcome to today's episode, where we're diving into something we all experience but often try to hide: our mistakes. Those moments when we stumble, fall short, or completely miss the mark.
But what if I told you that these mistakes might be your life's most powerful wisdom-bringers? Those uncomfortable, sometimes painful missteps could actually be disguised gifts.
As Tryon Edwards so perfectly put it: "Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future."
Think about it. When everything goes according to plan, what do we really learn? It's in the gaps, the unexpected detours, where actual growth happens. That project that failed spectacularly? It probably taught you more than a dozen successful ones.
We're culturally programmed to avoid mistakes at all costs. We're taught that success means getting it right the first time. But this mindset robs us of the rich learning from getting it wrong.
Some of humanity's greatest innovations came from mistakes—penicillin, microwave ovens, and even chocolate chip cookies! The creators didn't just make errors; they paid attention to them.
And here's something we don't talk about enough: mistakes connect us. They remind us of our shared humanity. When we're vulnerable enough to admit when we've messed up, we create space for authentic connection with others.
For many of us, our most transformative life chapters began with what looked like failure. The relationship that ended painfully led to deeper self-knowledge. The career setback forced us to reevaluate our true calling.
So in today's episode, we'll hear from people who've turned their biggest mistakes into unexpected gifts. We'll explore practical ways to extract wisdom from failure rather than just trying to move past it quickly. And we'll talk about how embracing imperfection might actually be the key to living with more courage and authenticity.
Whether you're recovering from a recent mistake or trying to build a healthier relationship with failure, this conversation is for you.
Beyond politics lies our shared humanity. When we witness each other as complete human beings - not just political views - we can break free from fear and anger.
Jill's 'aha moment' came when she learned to separate people from their politics. She realized she could release the knot in her stomach, step back, and view differences with objective kindness. She was no longer held hostage by fear.
We all have the capacity to enjoy and respect each other when we look past political labels. The key is becoming a compassionate witness - seeing each other's full humanity while holding space for different perspectives.
The path forward isn't about eliminating disagreement. It's about refusing to let politics override our ability to connect as people who can be friendly, understanding, and kind to one another."
"Beyond politics lies our shared humanity. When we witness each other as complete human beings - not just political views - we can break free from fear and anger.
This transformation begins when we start asking different questions - not 'How can I prove them wrong?' but 'What experiences shaped their view?' Not 'Why are they so misguided?' but 'What hopes and fears do we share?' When we approach each other with curiosity instead of judgment, we create space for genuine connection beyond the political divide."
Dreams—what do they mean? Do they link us to alternative realities? How can we access and interpret them?
How can we access and pay attention to our dreams and find the messages we need to hear? What information can come through, and how does it allow us to become one with our whole? How can we reach out to gain this information? What can we do to record and not forget and analyze our dreams? Many messages come through, but so many of us lose the information that comes through as we wake.
How can we discover or remember our dreams by changing our brain waves to access dreams and our inner wisdom? What is the healing aspect of dreams?
How do we deal with the unexpected in our lives? Something is happening; our cards are in the air, and we must decide what to do. How do we pick them up? We are responsible for what is in front of us. Treat it not as a nasty joke but as a game. Pick up the last one; where does it go? How do I pick up the unexpected challenges in my life and deal with them? We can pick them up individually; otherwise, we get overwhelmed.
When we can't find which way to go, be flexible and ready for the next thing to drop. What do I do now? Flexibility is the key. Discover how to be flexible with everything, including what is happening with our bodies. Remember, it's your choice what you do and how you pick up the cards on the floor. Look at what we chose and where we want to go. We have the power in some way. If we stay flexible, we will find a way to do things differently; we can choose to change it's our choice, our mind.
As long as we accept responsibility for our choices and do not blame ourselves, we can find unique ways to live our lives.
Drop judgment of ourselves; when we sit in judgment of ourselves or others, we close down, and then we can't change. We are here on Earth to make choices. 52 pick up is a great concept. We are here to experience and pick up the cards we have thrown up in the air. A whole process is happening. Jill says that even though she has had so many health challenges, including cancer. She picks up the cards and always finds humor in situations. Humor gives us joy, and laughter heals powerfully. Jill always finds going to humor lightens everything.
Do what we do with appreciation. We can get lost in what we have to do rather than appreciate it. Whatever we can do to make our earth walk lighter and happier for ourselves and others is the most beautiful feeling.
Why have so many of us lost the sense of belonging? Essentially, we belong to ourselves. We lose the ability to know that as children. Let's explore how we can re-find this wonderful and complete place within.
How can we stop looking outside ourselves to others? When we do, we'll find a smoother, more peaceful path in life.
"If we have no peace, it's because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." Mother Theresa. We are a part of everyone and everything, not just our close or immediate family or loved ones. When we realize that we are one people belonging to the earth, we know that we naturally belong. We have forgotten our pathways to our source or oneness; it's easy to feel scared and needy to belong to someone or something. We can become desperate to find someone or something to attach to. Taking time to connect to our inner peace, joy, and stillness, we realize that we always belong to that place within.
Let's explore how we can find our space of completeness that lets us know that we are always a part of everything and everyone. When we use the heart exercise of breathing love over everything and everyone, we recognize that we are all one.
Keanu Reeves shared how he lost depression when he realized that he was not alone.
Finding peace through cancer. How can we find peace, humor, and kindness as we travel through cancer treatment? Jill has had cancer for many years now; she shares her wisdom and suggestions for those with cancer.
Jill asks, "Who are you suffering for, yourself or others." She shares that it is time for you to decide who is around you and stop trying to do what others want you to do. She shares what has worked for her and how she finds humor, peace, and kindness, moving beyond the fear of dying and suffering. There is nothing to fear when we know how to change how we look at our lives and who we have around us. We begin to know that we are the ones to make the choices if we can or decide who can help us with the choices we need to make.
Jill has the best sense of humor and feels that laughter is everything when we are ill, although finding the energy can sometimes be hard. Laughter eases pain, heals relationships, and makes the process more bearable.
"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself if I would want to do what I am about to do today, and whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know that I need to change something." Steve Jobs.
If sometime during the day we don't have a smile on our face, we know that something needs to change.
Looking in the mirror and letting go of thoughts can bring us to a source, help us re-find our life path, and discover what makes us delighted. We often get lost in what others want or think we should do. There are so many stressors on us to be what everyone else wants us to be.
Where would we start? How can we work with what we have and make small changes? We can start with minor changes; we can change within where we are, like reinventing our house or relationship. We can bring in a creative change; how can we shift it around so that it brings delight?
How can we do this? We explore how we can change our lives with little changes. Grounding and being with nature can help us to get clarity in our lives.
A Sundance Maka Waconi: Circle of Life in South Dakota Jill and her husband's journey. The power of change and the adventure of transformational experiences. They decided not to follow a map but to follow their senses. They took no freeways or highways, just a sense that guided them. They used their senses and intuition on this fantastic journey. This trip became an empowering and transformational experience.
A feeling of freedom comes when we are not afraid of change. We are all in a state of change; when we approach these changes with a heart base rather than a state of fear, we can experience significant transformation, joy, and peace.
Give into the flow of change, and you'll be surprised.
Relationship break ups. Relationship break ups. How to move beyond the pain. What can we do? How can we find greater wisdom and peace through this process? How do we navigate relationship break ups, family, or partners?
Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? This is a question we must ask ourselves when we face a breakup. It's time to take a walk, a train ride, a bus ride, or a road trip so that we can step. The key is, what was my part in this? We need to step out of the circle of argument and judgment and go where we can step back and step into our innate wisdom.
But what can we do, and how can we get to that place? Lets explore!
What is success, and what is failure? Why are we so focused on both? How do we succeed and fail? Does success bring us happiness? When we are dying, it is not about success or failure. We have to stop the comparison. Let's explore what success is in different countries and how success is so different in so many places for so many people. What is success for you? When you are dying what will success be for you?
In the end, it's not about what we have, but rather those that we've loved and how we have loved.
Steve Jobs said, I have succeeded, and it doesn't matter; it's about our loved ones, how we have loved, and how we have shown up. Success is getting what we want, happiness is liking or not judging what you have.
What are we pursuing and why? We have to stop the comparison.
Success is getting what you want, happiness is liking what you have. Ingrid Bergman
How to live, thrive, and find peace with dementia. Dementia is a process of losing our rational mind, and yet we can support the individual in moving into places beyond the mind. The person's essence we know is always there, but the person we love and know is often disappearing. How can we support them and find a place of acceptance and ease?
Many of those with dementia get fearful as dementia progresses; how can we support individuals in finding meaning and depth in this process?
As caregivers, we must take breaks and do things we love to maintain a sense of self. It isn't easy, but we share ideas to help. We are all affected by dementia; when a family member has it, the whole family is affected.
We share stories, tools, techniques, and ideas to allow us to move beyond the fear of the mind and body changing. How can we help them feel safe in a changing world?
How to get through the holidays, tips for navigating these times, and find even more peace and joy. How to maneuver and enjoy the holidays. How do we deal with those we don't want to deal with? How do we enjoy the holidays even if we are alone?
We can discover ways to take moments to refind our balance and inner harmony. How to re-balance yourself in these times.
The holidays are only a day or a few days; we can make it simple and delightful even though we are alone or with people who challenge us. Let go of the 'should' and frustration and accept what is happening. Re-balancing ourselves is the key. Ultimately, it is about sharing and nurturing each other and enjoying ourselves, even in difficult situations.
Holidays can be enjoyable alone or with others.
Fear and how we can move beyond to freedom. How does fear control us, and what can we do to clear it? Handling the moment as it comes dispells fear. We release the need for what is happening to be different, we deal with it and then there is no fear.
Fear feeds on itself, take the time to use tools to take yourself out
"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”
― Jim Morrison
Steps to fearlessness.
Take time outIt’s impossible to think clearly when you’re flooded with fear or anxiety. The first thing to do is take time out so you can physically calm down.
Distract yourself from the worry for 15 minutes by walking around the block, making a cup of tea or having a bath.
- Breathe through panicIf you start to get a faster heartbeat or sweating palms, the best thing is not to fight it.
Stay where you are and simply feel the panic without trying to distract yourself. Place the palm of your hand on your stomach, relax it and breathe slowly and deeply.
The goal is to help the mind get used to coping with panic, which takes the fear of fear away.For example, if you panic one day getting into a lift, it should start to fade if you face it
-
Face your fearsAvoiding fears only makes them scarier. Whatever your fear, if you face it, it should start to fade. If you panic one day getting into a lift, for example, it’s best to get back into a lift the next day.
-
Imagine the worstTry imagining the worst thing that can happen – perhaps it’s panicking and having a heart attack. Then try to think yourself into having a heart attack. It’s just not possible. The fear will run away the more you chase it.
-
Look at the evidenceIt sometimes helps to challenge fearful thoughts. For example, if you’re scared of getting trapped in a lift and suffocating, ask yourself if you have ever heard of this happening to someone. Ask yourself what you would say to a friend who had a similar fear.
-
Don’t try to be perfectLife is full of stressors, yet many of us feel that our lives must be perfect. Bad days and setbacks will always happen, and it’s important to remember that life is messy.
-
Visualise a happy place; take a moment to close your eyes and imagine a place of safety and calm. It could be a picture of you walking on a beautiful beach, or snuggled up in bed with the cat next to you, or a happy memory from childhood. Let the positive feelings soothe you until you feel more relaxed.8. Talk about it.dispels
The freedom to change my mind. We often get stuck in our lives because we think we can't change our minds or don't know how to do it. Let's explore how to change our minds when we get stuck in ideas or concepts that have been layered onto us as children and with which we identify. Perhaps we have become so identified with certain ideas in the view of friends and family that we can't move on. Let's look at the power of changing our minds and how we can do it.
How to ponder our thoughts and ideas and how to question them.
According to quantum physics a particle vibrating due to your sound when you speak can affect a molecule inside a star at the edge of the Universe instantly. This phenomenon is known as quantum entanglement. The greatest illusion then is the illusion of separation.

Heart Math has shared many excellent techniques that help us in all areas of our life.
It is only heavy because you are deciding over and over again to carry it. Embrace change, loosen up your sense of identity, and let yourself walk a new path. You do not have to ignore or erase the past; you just have to wholeheartedly embrace the present and move on.
~ Yung Pueblo
We have our freedom in our hands, when we hold onto who we think we are or who others think we are, we lose our freedom This freedom, our freedom, is who we are, it just gets covered up as we grow into who we feel others tell us we are. Let's release that and as we walk in our present, we feel openess joy, ; openness and have a knowledge who we truly are. We move beyond and need to impress others and stand in the power of who we are.
Leslie Clark travels with the Toureg in the desert. Experiences a wedding, travels with rebels and finds herself alone in the sand dunes miles from anywhere. . A powerful journey. She experiences how the Toureg can travel through the dunes that shift yearly, with no GPS, not maps and with dangers everywhere. They always know how everyone is feeling and have the most extraordinary connections, even though we can't speak the language. They can see into the soul of a person.
There are guides who are Toureg are blind, they are guided by the wind an other phenomena. ; and they can take
Pausing is key to increasing our ability to choose how we respond rather than dropping into robotic reaction. When we don't take a pause between a stimulus and our response we may wind up just reacting which limits our choices. There are so many benefits to taking a pause; it can recharge our energy: help us to gain access to our inner wisdom: and enable us to feel connected and nurtured.
Take a pause and free yourself. Practice the pause. Pause before judging; pause before assuming; pause before accusing; pause whenever you're about react harshly and you'll avoid doing and saying thins you'' regret later. It's a practice that can make our life better. When we can take a moment for a pause we are empowered, rather than dis-empowered.
Help ourselves by practicing taking a pause before we react to someone or something. It gives us a chance to untie the emotional knots within us. Take a little time to practice the pause. Even if we remember after we have reacted, them we can become more conscious for next time.
Practice the pause in an argument, in negotiation, in conversations, as often as we can. We can pause as we think also.

Happiness is not a destination; it's the journey. When we are focusing on the end, the thing we want instead of the process or the journey, we suffer because it makes us stressed. We can have happiness anytime when we focus on the journey.
When we are focused on the destination, like a car, money, we We only suffer when we react negatively to a situation; it's not what is happening; it's our thoughts. We can find happiness anywhere, anytime. When we are happy and share it, then it's truly ours.
The last thing Buddah is said to have said is," Be your own light."Buddha. We are all briightlights, let's discover how to find and be that bright lights.
It's not what you do but how you react that matters. Often we can't change what is happening, but we can almost always have power over how we react. We chat about ideas and tools that can give us power over our reactions.
We, as humans, tend to be robotic in our reactions to what is happening. Push a button, and I'll always react to the same experience.We can discover how to respond rather than react and move through our life with greater ease and peace.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
William Arthur Ward
"The world is nothing but my perception of it; I see only through myself, I hear only through the filter of my story." Byron Katie, If we want to change our lives, we must change our perception. Let's open up our cage to see how else we can see something. We are not our story, but it does control us.
Oor story can limit us or free us, depending upon how we see it and we can move beyond its hold.
Tina Turner mastered her art and life; she moved beyond her pain and illnesses and accessed an inner world of peace and balance. She built a bridge between her outer life filled with, success, but also suffering and pain and found a way to access an inner world of peace and balance.

Many stars and famous people master the outer world and their art but live a life of confusion, pain, and suffering. LIke Michael Jackson, Maria Callas, and Elvis. How was she able to move beyond all of this and keep balance and peace in her life? We explore how she did this and what she needed to do to achieve this.
Being happy is a very personal thing, and it really has nothing to do with anyone else.” Abraham Hicks
Happiness lives within us! Being happy is very personal -and totally internal.
Appreciation can be a pathway to happiness. Happiness does not come from the outside inward. Let's find our personal inner triggers to happiness, then we can find happiness whenever we remember, wherever we are. Let's open ourselves and be open to happiness.
We explore happiness triggers or memories and how to use them throughout the day. Let's find how we can wake up each day and choose how we want to be that day, it's up to us.
Learning can be a great gift, and unlearning can be an even greater gift; transformational and freeing. "Recognize that unlearning is the highest form of learning.” Rumi.
Why do we feel we need to keep filling ourselves with information? Why do we need so much learning? When we take away the unneeded learning, we become closer to who we are and access our source. Let's begin to ask ourselves, where did I learn this, or from whom did I learn this? Let's discover what we need to unlearn, and explore how we can begin to unlearn what we don't need. Exploring our unlearning can enable us to feel free, joyous, and more peaceful.
Let's ask ourselves, when we are learning something, is this making us feel light, compassionated easily, or frustrated, angry, and uneasy? Then we know it's probably something we don't need to learn.
Let's explore unlearning.
Dali Lama "Such my thumb." Jill shares the Tibetan perspective. Why do cultural differences matter, and why are they so hard to understand?
We share our thoughts and experiences about cultural differences, their power, and why we can so easily misinterpret them. We explore travel and other chances to be in various cultures and their differences. Why are there cultural differences? We look at why this happens and how we can open to and immerse ourselves in other cultures even in our local area. Let's jump in and explore different, perspectives.
"Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretense. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” Adyashanti.
Enlightenment is not about what we do or achieve or even find. Enlightenment is who we indeed are. We don't have to be someone special or do something special. It's a destructive process of removing what we have covered ourselves with, stuff we are holding. As soon as thought - emotions go, we are in our natural enlightenment; it gets uncovered when we stop thinking. Destructive means taking away something that is not you in the first place. Enlightenment doesn't have to be a complicated process; it's always within us.
We are all enlightened from time to time; let's explore.
Fearless aging, let's explore how we can age fearlessly. When we are comfortable with who we are everyone else will be comfortable with who we are.
Many cultures celebrate life stages, and in those cultures, aging is respected and valued. When you travel you see people eg, the natural indigenous cultures, you see those who are enjoying their life at any stage.
We are on a path through life that moves toward death, and many have a hard time facing this. There are stages in our life, birth, infancy, childhood, etc, most accept a baby moving to toddlerhood, but are terrified to accept aging. We can fearlessly age only when we accept aging and the amazing gifts it brings us We can still use tools and techniques to keep us strong and vibrant, even use creams, etc to keep our face looking younger. It's about how we feel about ourselves. When we accept aging, we begin to accept who we are, and we can move without fear, without needing approval or anything to stop us enjoying the peace and joy that comes with aging fearlessly.
"I started to be free when I realized the cage was made of thoughts!" Unknown. We create cages for ourselves from our robotic thinking, we aren't aware that we are trapped until we become aware of our thoughts and their patterns. We can free ourselves, but how?
Do you know what you are thinking right now? Many aren't, but it is that awareness that cuts the cage of robotic reactions that create our cage, that trap us. Most of us are living in a cage of robotic reactions, which just go round and round. Push my button and I will react and think in the same pattern every time. What can we do to free ourselves and why is it important to the quality of our life? Let's chat!
We don't need to suffer, we can use techniques, meditations, and tools, that can enable us to move beyond struggle and suffering, no matter what is happening in our lives.
Pema Chodron in her book, "When things fall apart. Heart advise for difficult times," is a great book to sit with.
"The next time you lose heart and you can’t bear to experience what you’re feeling, you might recall this instruction: change the way you see it and lean in. Instead of blaming our discomfort on outer circumstances or on our own weakness, we can choose to stay present and awake to our experience, not rejecting it, not grasping it, not buying the stories that we relentlessly tell ourselves. This is priceless advice that addresses the true cause of suffering—yours, mine, and that of all living beings.
When we resist change, it's called suffering.
The root of suffering is resisting the certainty that no matter what the circumstances uncertainty is all we truly have.
"When things fall apart. Heart advice for difficult times." Pema Chodron
Opening to our creativity opens us and empowers us. The artist Picasso said, "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." You can be creative, let's explore and ponder how!
Maya Angelou, "We are all creative, but by the time we are three or four years old, someone has knocked the creativity out of us. Some people shut up the kids who start to tell stories. Kids dance in their cribs, but someone will insist they sit still. By the time creative people are ten or twelve, they want to be like everyone else." When we lose creativity, we lose a vital part of who we truly are.
The artist Picasso said, "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." "The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.”All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. ” "To draw you must close your eyes and sing."
Reincarnation - let's explore. What is it? Is it real? How do we know? We chat about people who have passed over as well as those who have experienced other lives. You can explore reincarnation and discover your own truth about it. We all can explore for ourselves and even try a past life regression.
"You are not your body; you are not your brain, not even your mind. You are Spirit. All you have to do is reawaken to the memory, to remember."
Brian Weiss
Many believe different things
The Hindu religion has for thousands of years believed their teachings of reincarnation.
"Reincarnation is a key belief within Hinduism. In Hinduism, all life goes through birth, life, death, and rebirth and this is known as the cycle of samsara. According to this belief, all living things have an atman, which is a piece of Brahman, or a spirit or soul. It is the atman that moves on into a new body after death."
Travel lightly, how can we reduce the stressors of travel? We chat about how to avoid the stressors of travel and how to avoid the pitfalls. We share tips, stories, and ideas that can make travel more enjoyable. Often the journey can be the hardest part of travel, particularly in todays world. So what can we do to make it easier?

After all, we're just walking each other home." (quote from Ram Dass) We're all going to the same place, and we're all on a path. Sometimes our paths converge. Sometimes they separate, and we can hardly see each other, much less hear each other. But on the good days, we're walking on the same path, close together, and we're walking each other home.
We are a part of incredible vast whole, which is a part of an even greater beyond whole. Being born and dying is an infinitesimal part of this whole.
"If your everyday practice is to open to all your emotions, to all the people you meet, to all the situations you encounter, without closing down, trusting that you can do that — then that will take you as far as you can go. And then you'll understand all the teachings that anyone has ever taught." Pema Chodron
How can an end can become an adventure: "Never give up - investigate," the Dalai Lama.
What can we do when we seem to be facing an end in our life, the end of a relationship, a job, even death the end of our body?
The photo is of her road into the canyon.
Jill shares how she is managing the disastrous floods and road washing away in the canyon she lives in and how she and her husband, both in their late seventies, are facing this adventure. Jill realized through this that she isn't dying from cancer but rather that she is living with cancer. A powerful realization.
Jill also chats about making New Year resolutions and how they can make us despondent when we can't or don't achieve them. So she suggests that rather than making a weight loss resolution eg, resolve to be stronger and healthier.
What is a Sweat Lodge? Why is it so transformational? How can I do one, and why is it so powerful? A sweat lodge ceremony is a spiritual and physical cleansing ritual from ancient times. Most Native American or First People Tribes have used a similar procedure for thousands of years in the Americas.
This is a place to surrender and to pray in whatever is the most healing and beautiful way for each person. This can be a most powerful and transformational experience when run by an experienced and trained individual. Sitting in the covered Sweat Lodge, we energetically enter the center of the earth and can have profound and powerful life changing experiences. life-changing
I don’t know what good it is to know so much and be smart as whips and all if it doesn’t make you happy. J.D. Salinger. Why do is intelligence so edified? There are so many forms of intelligence, which ones make us happy? Intelligence is thinking, reasoning, and understanding instead of just doing things automatically or by instinct. EQ or emotional intelligence is the ability to have some self-awareness and respond instead of reacting robotically. Let's explore different kinds of intelligence and how and why we react to them differently. How can we focus on the value of the person without placing values on them according to their IQs?
Why is there hatred? How can we move beyond that and how can we deal with others hating something about us, our family, or anyone or anything else?
How does hate grow and develop? What can we do to change, cope with or transform this hatred in our culture? When we don't know who we are we will polarize and begin to think that our way is the only way. What can we do to find out who we are and move beyond hate? The news adds to this polarization, so perhaps we need to question the news. The answer ist o find the love that we are and make choces that come from that love.
Do what you love and everything else will follow. Warren Buffet. When we can do what we love, even if it's just in our spare time, it energizes and inspires us. We feel more alive and more present in our lives. So many of us are doing what we feel we have to and as we live our life part of us begins to get covered up with 'I have to. Slowly we forget what we love and who we are, then when we retire, we don't know what we love anymore. Today begin to ponder 'what I love.?' Then incorporate a little into your life each week. What you love might change often for awhile and that's great. You'll begin to feel more alive and joyous as the weeks go by. Just begin now and it will change your inner and outer life.
Adjustments enable us to live our lives with more balance and harmony. Jill shares how these adjustments are helping her to live her life with ongoing chemo treatments, without feeling angry, lost, or helpless. She shares that adjustments help her to be in tune with herself and the world around her. We explore how to learn to do these adjustments and when to use them in the podcast below. Remember we are available for coaching sessions, both life coaching support in dying coaching. Go to earthriberadio.com to book sessions. In love and light Jill and Fiona
“She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.” ~ Elizabeth Edwards
We are making choices almost every minute! Large and small ones, are these our choices, or are they made from programming from our past? How can we realize how to truly make our own choices, free from our past? Let's explore.
So often, it's easy to blame others for our choices; let's explore how we can take full responsibility for them without blaming ourselves. We find enormous freedom when we make conscious choices from now, rather than from past programming. In every minute of the day, we are making choices. Do I have coffee or tea? Do I want to answer this call? or large ones like do I stay in this job? Become conscious today about how you make choices and make them consciously! Make sure it's your choice!

Doctor Malhotra a doctor in palliative care, shares that if we allow it, death can be our greatest teacher. It has a way of putting things into perspective and making us question our priorities. For me, working in palliative care has been a powerful reminder of what really matters in life. I hope that sharing some of the most common regrets of my patient's, it will inspire you to live life with no regrets. Dr Simran Malhotra
In hearing about the regrets of her patients, Dr. Malhotra says there is a lot we can learn from their lived experiences. "Make time for your loved ones and don't take them for granted," she states. "Life is short, and you never know when it will be your last day with someone."

Fake news is all around us, how do we separate the truth from the untruth? How can we discover how to not be triggered by the news and what might be fake news? What tools can we use to relax through all of this? Let's chat!
Why do we polarize our beliefs and ideas in times of crisis? Rather than getting into arguments, we could honor that, but still do what is right for us. We polarize when we are fearful, and we can be very angry and aggressive in times of crisis. If we are asking someone to be different and thinking that they are wrong...can we be flexible and allow others to have their ways and beliefs and be comfortable in our ideas and beliefs. Let's also look at the difference between my truth and obligation.
Esther Hicks. "Anytime you feel negative emotion, stop and say: Something is important here, otherwise I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want?’ And then simply turn your attention to what you DO want. In the moment that you turn your attention to what you want, the negative attraction will stop, and in the moment the negative attraction stops, the positive attraction will begin. And in that moment, your feelings will change from not feeling good to feeling good."
How can we move beyond all of the "old stuff" and see everyone and everything through clear eyes? How do we listen with fresh eyes and see with fresh eyes? Let's find our how to witness what is happening and speak with clarity and awareness?Rather than going into what we don't want, we can ask ourselves...What do we want and focus on that!
Covid has given us time to re-look at our lives and determine what we have in our lives that is negative and turn them into positives. Build love compassion and kindness. We can turn it all around.
As you realize that you are responsible for your reactions in any moment, others will cease to have any power or control over you. Wayne Dyer
How can we take responsibility for our reactions, without feeling that we are wrong, or judging ourselves. It enables us to feel free and unchained. Can we push the pause button and take ownership of ourselves and the best way to do this is to respond rather than react. Why do we react more to this we love? Let's explore how we can do this?

Stop trying to impress...it can only make you miserable! When we try to impress we lose who we are and any possibility of finding happiness. When we stop trying to impress, we become the wisdom and perfection that we are.
We are all wise, we just have to drop into who we are to channel the wisdom of the Universe. We need to uncover the true essence of who we are and unwind what we have been told about us. We don't need to impress if we are in who we are...because then we are complete and whole.
"The words you speak become the house you live in," Hafiz. Where am I today and how do I walk, with my actions, words and thoughts. Is the violence and hate in the world worse, or has always been there and just covered up? What can we do to change that? Inequality has been here from the beginning of time, we can change our world through becoming conscious of our words and how we use them. When we walk in balance, drop being a victim and blaming others, we can live life in compassion and kindness. This can change our world. Change begins here NOW, with us and with every word we say and think.
We are all responsible for the state of our world on a micro live and we have the ability to change it on all levels on a macro level. Words are so powerful.

If I am trapped how can I find the key to my freedom? How do I trap myself...let's look without judgment. Remembering that we always have the key!
Don't speak negatively about yourself even as a joke, you body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life. Bruce Lee
We listen to every word and Naomi Judd says," Your body believes everything you say." When we hear ourselves saying negative things about ourselves, we have to ask ourselves do we want to live and experience this constantly in my life. Because we will.
When we hear negativity from the outside we can step back from it...but when we hear it from the inside we tend to believe and absorb it.

How to start over...so many of us area having to do this ... how can we do this. Often change can be so hard and starting afresh, yet it open amazing opportunities. We both have had to start afresh many times, in several countries. What are the gifts and what are the challenges, and how can we work with it. When we realize something is over look at the situation and ask, where do I want to be, what do I want to do? How to trust in "things are going to be fine." Reach out and find what assistance is there...there is almost always assistance in your area.
Memories, how can we be awake and mindful when memories arise. Do they catch us and pull us into pain and suffering and the why and why didn't they or why didn't I?
Memories can be amazing gifts of joy and delight or we can get caught in the painful ones. Let's explore how we can move beyond the spider's web of the why's and move into finding the gifts and strengths in our the memories.
What tools can we use to move beyond.
Finding beautiful memories and fill and uplift ourselves with these. Let's make a section of our brain to keep these beautiful memories....and release the painful parts.
Loneliness and being alone. Feeling very lonely is an issue for many today. Loneliness can happen even in relationships, in fact many feel just as alone in relationships as those who aren't.. Join us to chat about what the difference is between being alone and being lonely. We look at how we can move beyond loneliness and how we can access the vastness of our alone space. Carl Jung said,"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”
We rebroadcast this because it is so important at this time.
Our feet...our connection to the earth and hidden part of who we are. Without our feet we can't connect so easily with our feet...how can we love our feet and use them to free ourselves? Accessing the power of our feet enables us to accept ourselves more and enjoy our life even more.
Massaging out feet is so powerful and helps to feel our connection to our body and earth life. Feet are healing forces, reflexology enables the body to heal itself through massaging the feet. This can helps us to destress and heal. We can flush positive ions and gather negative ions through going barefoot.
When we loose the mobility of our feet ..we realize what a gift of healthy feet can be.
Let's focus on our feet and discover how to use our feet to discover new depths in our life.
Feedback...why do we give the feedback we do. Do we want feedback or do we want someone to just listen, can we give constructive criticism rather than venting our anger. Why do we feel that we have to give negative feedback? When we attack we are disconnected, let's bring consciousness to how we offer feedback and how we share our ideas.
Bullying is a part of our culture and is still very apparent in the feedback on the Internet. It only happens when someone is disconnected and feeling small. Perhaps we might feel big for a small while, but then we're back to more confusion. How can we deal with negative feedback and give positive honest feedback, still saying what we need to share. If someone gives us negative feedback we can use tools to go inside, to go within and find the place deeper than our reaction.

Rain, snow...why do we get so upset about the weather? Could it be that it touches our wildside...a part of us that we are scared to access? We are not in control and when we have something that challenges our control ..it means that to living with rather than trying to control. Weather challenges us to "Go with the flow." It's a wonderful chance to explore how we can do that. So, weather can be an amazing tool.
Our problem is not the weather, it's something within us...let's explore.
How do we become optimistic again...through all that we have lost and all that we are going through?

Our heart controls so much of the brain and our emotions...we can find greater ease and joy using these techniques. Through using heart balancing techniques we can balance our brain and emotions and find greater ease. Heart Math has done extensive research into this which you can find on HeartMath.com
"Most of us have been taught in school that the heart is constantly responding to “orders” sent by the brain in the form of neural signals. However, it is not as commonly known that the heart actually sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart! Moreover, these heart signals have a significant effect on brain function – influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. In other words, not only does the heart respond to the brain, but the brain continuously responds to the heart." Heart math
The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.”
― ram dass
We need a marriage of the heart and the brain.

Pressure in relationships. When we feel pressure our soul is saying this is not the right thing for me, right now. How do we deal with this. How do remove ourselves for a minute so that we can look at the situation more objectively, afresh.
When we are in the center of a whirlwind, we can't see what is right for us at this time. We need to remember who we are and what we believe in, what our soul is telling us. We can aim to step back for a minute, or use music to change your mood and thought. We don't have to win, or defend, convince, attack or make someone feel as we do, we need to step within to find our truth.
It's all about taking care of ourselves.
Conversation with my soul. Soul conversations are very empowering. When we are open to hearing them, we begin to access to their wisdom. We are never alone and always loved. Going to sleep at night we are in the energy between times and we can see everything in a different way and discover wisdom. The soul is who we are, but usually the static from our thinking prevents us from accessing. We have access to ur spirit...it makes us feel peace, joy complete in so many ways. How do we give it permission? Why is dusk and dawn so powerful and how can we get the messages from our soul?
What is prayer, why do we do it and how did it begin? People have prayed since ancient times, each religion and belief has had its own unique way to pray. We pray when we give thanks...it's not all about a specific way of prayer, yet they all can work if it connects us to the infinite/god/Universal energy/the oneness.
The truth of prayer in every form is joy, compassion and love. It is free from judgement and "this is the only way". Thankfulness and appreciation before bed sets a wonderful energy for our night and morning.

Change is inevitable is inevitable...why is it often so hard? What you are is what you have been what you will be is what you do now! Where or who I am now is the source of the greatest becoming....we have the ability at any moment to start afresh. When we start new NOW...as if everything is blown away. When we do that we have a new beginning right now. All the changes are an opening to something new...
Every time we bring ourselves back to now we give ourselves a fresh start. It's just our thoughts and memories that keep pulling us back...we become robotic ..when we come back to now we are fresh and new.
Because of fight and flight we'll try to keep ourselves away from change and in what we know. Change things in your life and change will be easier.
We can use self talk to change the moment so that we can be in the NOW.
If I'd known better, I would have done better. We need to remember that we did what we could at the time, with where we were. If I had known what I know now, I could have done things differently.
When we ask ourselves that question, we can move beyond being crippled by our past. We are still responsible for our actions, but find we get less stuck. We can gather consciousness through questions.
We grow, gather light and learn from adversity and what we might call a mistake. Mistakes are great gifts of consciousness!
We don't have to reach enlightenment. We are born enlightened, how do we remember this?
Ram Dass asked When you were born. Who was born?
We don't have to struggle, earn, understand, be worthy of enlightenment, it's who we are and it's right here within us. All we have to do is to use a few easy tools to access it. We are and have always been enlightened, we've just forgotten!
Needing approval is tantamount to saying, ‘Your view of me is more important than my own opinion of myself’– Dr Wayne W. Dyer. The problem is they can change their ideas at anytime, will you change for that also? How can we be okay with who we are and our ideas and also with others ideas and how they are or how they look?
We can't have peace without saying to ourselves, my opinion is right and your opinion is right... what is my opinion of my, of you? Do you share your approval of others, of yourself? Let's explore, it can all be very confusing let's discuss! IN the end it's all about how I want to feel.

"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein. We can live life in awe and it this gives us such joy of life.
Many of us forget that there are so many miracles in our life and in our days. Electricity is a miracle, running water and hot water are miracles. If we can lear how to practice coming into a state of awe, we can get through our stressful or difficult lives. Perhaps look for miracles today, there are miracles happening in so many moments of our day. Let's live a day of consciousness in the miracles in our day.
We are all gifted by miracles when we pay attention.
Post traumatic Growth. New studies show that 90% of people thrive after challenges. Post traumatic growth isn't getting back to where you were before, it's about thriving beyond that point - achieving heightened states of joy and awareness.
It's the struggle that changes the individual, not the event.
This is a concept similar to resilience, but distinct from it. Two psychologist coined this term - Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun. Post-traumatic growth is positive change that occurs in the aftermath of struggling with any major life crisis or traumatic event. Each person is different for each person. Post-traumatic growth is a process, not an outcome, and typically involves developing positive responses in these areas: appreciation of life, enhanced relationships with others, new possibilities in life, newly identified personal strength, and spiritual or existential change.
Dr Calhoun's book is Posttrumatic Growth Theory, Research, and Application.
Change the way we look at problems and creative solutions can come to us. A solution is always out there, if we don't get stuck in the problem . There's always a solution, but if I'm locked into the idea that there is no solution we won't find it.
We can change a problem from being a problem to being a challenge with a change in focus. When we focus on the solution we become empowered. So often, we tend to be tethered into our stuck pathways of behavior and thinking. Change the pathways of thinking and find creative solutions.
We so often say to children, "No it's not possible." When we take their ideas and put it into a different frame, they can help us to find our solutions. When we allow our children to find their own solutions, it makes them strong and confident. strong
Why finding and transforming our core beliefs can help us to find more joy, happiness and consciousness. Let's explore what our deepest core beliefs are, why it's important, how we can find them and what we can do to transform them.
Were you seen, heard, acknowledged, loved? Our beliefs are important, how they are layered and why that can be so frustrating. What you believe about yourself is what you express in the world. How we overcome that and how it brings us gifts when we do. Without judging the people in my life who were unkind, how can I dropping and finding thatjudgement transforms us. All of this has transformed us and makes us lighter.

Forgiveness is powerful. You might not be able to forgive what they've done, but rather their essence which is always light....under all the 'stuff.'

Let's explore how to respond rather than react! Let's go deep within and discover how to adapt to all of the changes that we are facing in these times? Most of us try to avoid change at all costs....it feels safer.

How trees can help us in this time of stressl. Studies have found that spending time around trees, even looking at trees can reduces stress, lower blood pressure and improve our mood. "Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can know the truth." Hermann Hesse. They are here for us in so many ways if we just know how to be with them. and we help them. They are healers, guides and are always ready to help.
These studies show that both exercising in forests and simply sitting looking at trees reduce blood pressure as well as the damaging stress-related hormones cortisol and adrenaline. They soothe us. Think of trees as your friend.
Adyashanatı says, "The truth is you can’t try to let go…trying is the opposite of letting go…to let go is to relinquish trying to let go and is much more like letting it be" Let's explore how we can do this!

We chat about Dr Zack Bush's experience with bringing people back from the dead. These patients found complete acceptance, as if embraced by the Universe. They asked, "Why did you bring me back?" Why is this and how can we find this acceptance and completeness in life?
He shares that most of us are walking around feeling lonely and often isolated. After experiencing death and the complete acceptance many realize that this is within them. We ask how can we find this and what can we do to find this?
Dr Zach Bush shares that death is not an end point, but a transformation. He was head of ICU and was able to bring many back from death and their stories are all so similar.
Only the body dies...let's not run from death, but run to life! Many of us are fearful of death and even though we don't know it, we try to avoid anything to do with it. What we heard and experienced of death as a child can cloud our life. How can we embrace the fact that everything dies, clear away the cobwebs of what others thought or think of death and fully live our lives.
Our idea of death is tied to what we heard and experienced in childhood from our parents, religion, teachers etc. Let's unravel that and begin to realize that we never die - only our body ever dies.
Let's travel with Jill to Agadez and the Sahara in Niger. What does she find and what realizations does it bring to her. She shares her experiences in the desert and how it affected her and the gifts she found through it. Jill experiences being a woman in a generally man's desert world. Breakfast was a bread made in the embers in the desert sand and lots of tea. Finding shade during the middle of the day to rest and then off again as it cools. It's hard to imagine how wonderful canned veggies can taste, when you have nothing else. Being serenaded by Taureg and his guitar as she slept under the stars.
We're going to rebroadcast the other shows we have on Niger soon:)

Once we think we have found a truth we have arrived at a conclusion, we've closedown minds we've stopped seeing the world afresh. We begin judging and evaluating every situation and event according to the conclusion, according to what we believe is true. We then remain in the past. The mind looses it's sharpness, because we think we have the answer. Exploration stops. There is no truth no matter how high minded that is true for everything and at all times. Once this happens this truth owns us rather than sets us free.
When we have beliefs we feel more secure and when we release beliefs we can feel fearful, but in time it frees us. .
Constructs make us feel safe....at least we think. When we release these we can find our true balance and move within into how we are. Where are the constructs in my life and how can I identify them and thenexplore them.
"One of the most responsible things we can do is to become more of a child." Wayne Dyer
How can we live a life in awe, a life now, a life beyond seriousness and back into playfulness. joy and delight in life. When we find playfulness and awe in our day, we can find greater joy, peace and delight in our life. What can I do re-find this ease and delight in my life. Finding fun ways to do what you always do.

She shares that the image of the lonely, cranky senior simply doesn’t match reality. Actually we are happier and more balanced in our older age and we feel more calm, optimistic and full of and thankful of life in our 60's, 70's and on. The younger ones tend to feel more hopeless, restless, nervous and unhappy. " The results are supported by a body of scientific literature showing that happiness is roughly U-shaped, dipping at mid-life and increasing as we age. Aging isn't a curse. But ageism is a serious global problem." Jeannette McClennan
When we are used to following it's hard to be consistently aware. Mindfulness helps us gathering consciousness around what has trapped us into unawareness. When we can 'step back' we can open to greater awareness. How can we move beyond the beliefs we've become stuck in?Politically we tend to polarize and loose awareness. We are lucky to be able to look back as well as looking forward. How do we change ourselves so that we are mindful, not only of ourselves, but also of the planet and others? When we are aware we can change and find ways to heal the planet. Children are more aware than we think...if the aren't numbed down in school or through other things that happen to them. Today ask "Am I conscious of my reactions, how am I affecting to the environment, others and myself?".
Being aware without judging ourselves or others can change everything.
As long as you think that the cause of your problem is “out there”—as long as you think that anyone or anything is responsible for your suffering—the situation is hopeless. It means that you are forever in the role of victim, that you’re suffering in paradise.”
― Byron Katie, Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life
When we question our thoughts it changes everything in our life. What do we still find catching us in our lives. How do we move beyond the patterns and buttons from earlier in our life? How can we expand our minds? Why are some of us treated as scapegoats and become a victim and how can we move beyond? What is real intelligence? Why are we so locked into thinking that intelligence operates in only one way? How can we become spritual warrior and come through being a victim?
How do I adapt to change? Jill shares her journey to the Sundance in South Dakota and the amazing experiences they had. The beginning of adapting to change is awareness and seeing change as an adventure.
Jill and her husband took the blue roads (no highways) and they had powerful and transformational stories when they crossed the Native American Hopi lands.

Russel Brand " We are imprisoned within, hypnotized without. Denying ourselves access to the internal peace and external harmony. Can we execute the perfect jail break when we have become our own jailers?"
Barry Long said that we are robots, push a button and I'll react the same way each time. Can we develop consciousness around our robotic reactions and making them mindful, then we begin to master our reactions.

What is the difference between reaction or reaction? Let's chat about how we can explore this and what we can do to find freedom!

"Drop the notion that you are what you do. Remember this: If you are what you do, then when you don't you aren't" Wayne Dyer.

(You have them even when you don't thing you do) and discover new ways to travel.

Opening up to different perceptions can change so much in our life. we can bring mindfulness to how we see things
When someone meets us they form their idea of who and what we are in the first 90 seconds, because we internalize our judgements and remember people and things rather than seeing them now. How different our world is when we truly see things in a new way now.

Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge… is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.”
― Bill Bullard
We chat about why opinions are only ours and how we can explore why and where our opinions and those of others. Why do we all believe what we do?

Today is full of pseudo spiritual, humanity's need to raise others above us, or to make ourselves above others or put someone above ourselves? What are Masters, Shaman, Gurus'etc, Why do we need brand ourselves as followers or follow others who we think are special, as superior? The truth is we are all special and have unique gifts. U G Krishnamurti, the Indian teacher said, "Don't follow me, I'm lost."
Let's explore how we can discover that vast place within ourselves and still find guidance from people who have gifts that we can benefit from. Mostly we are not okay with who we are and so we have to raise ourselves up or raise others to a place beyond us or others? Yet we all have the same access, if we know the bridges to get there.

"Stop trying to improve yourself." Alan Watts.
Why this can trap us and how we can free ourselves and still enjoy learning and exploring? Let's explore why we feel as if we need to improve ourselves and why we are already who we need to be.
"Our conditioning from a very young age is to believe that we need to become better, new and improved versions of ourselves, even if at first we don’t know exactly how or why. But soon enough we have filled in the why's with our shortcomings and failures, and self-help provides the how-to's with unending methods for self-correction. Armed with our story of deficiencies firmly in place and a surplus of paths toward improvement, we set off on our life mission—namely, becoming someone else. And we are proud of, and celebrated for, this mission. Growing and evolving, becoming a better person—it all sounds so virtuous. Who would turn down such an opportunity? If we boil it down, we keep fixing ourselves in the hopes that we can, finally, just be as we actually are. Once we're fixed, enough, worthy—whether that means more compassionate, more disciplined, or whatever shape our more's have formed into—then we'll be entitled to feel what we feel. We can think what we think, experience what we experience—in essence, be who we are." Nancy Colier in Psychology Today
There is an idea that we are broken or sinners and we feel that we need to improve ourselves, in fact we are enough. We can take classes, discover amazing things, leanr form great teachers, but it's not to improve ourselves, it's
because we are enjoying it or that it will help us to get a better job. Let's explore!
You have your hand on the switch. You are the allower or the resister and your emotions tell you which you’re doing right now. It’s easy once you understand the formula. When you feel good, you’re allowing good. When you don’t feel good, you are not allowing good.
We didn’t say, when you feel good you are allowing good, and when you feel bad you are allowing bad (although it may translate into your experience in that way). There is only a Source of Well-being—which you are allowing or not." Esther Hicks/Abraham
The question is how can I allow the good? Appreciation fist thing in the morning can seriously help. Do you have a hand on your switch? Let's chat about pivoting, how to do that, which helps to find the good.
It's always our decision, but not our fault. We are all governed by our robotic reactions, mindfulness can help us to move beyond these. We can move beyond our past. Let's explore who has the hand on your switch?
Prison, are you in your own prison? Some are in government prison to punish them, we can punish ourselves by being trapped in our prison of mental patterns.
It happens to almost everyone....and it creeps up on us. We slowly get trapped. Let's ask what have I allowed to imprison me?
How can people deal with prison if they have to go? Why do we feel that we have to imprison rather than rehabilitate and why do we make those who have been in prison bad for ever? Let's explore prison.
The devil, dark forces, evil. What do we do when we feel darkness? Let's explore and chat!
The dark space we feel doesn't make us bad, it simply means we have lost the bridge to our light. It's all about us expanding light.
The devil is an absence of our light. We can help ghosts, poltergeists, dark forces to open to the light. We can discover how to be the light behind the darkness. We are the light in what appears to be a dark world, the more we use our tools and bridges to our light, the more we help everyone remember their light.
Let's explore how different cultures empower us and why it's so important to experience them. There are so many cultures doing things in different ways and we can find new vision and power in us through exploring and learning from them. Taking time to travel, through watching travel shows, going to the areas in your town where other cultures sell their goods and foods, or actually traveling to other countries, enables us to see our life and thoughts in new ways. When we interact with individuals from another culture and we are open to their different ways, we are in a sense traveling. Other cultures can enable us to broaden ourselves in so many ways.
"You cannot suffer the past of future because they do not exist. What you are suffering is your memory and imagination." SatdhGuru
When we gather the wisdom from our past but don't dwell in the suffering we've been through, we find the wisdom and light in our life. When you think about it, the past is not happening now and neither is the future. When we can stay in the present and in our body, we can find our natural peace and well-being. Mindfulness can help us to do that.
'I've experienced a great deal of pain and suffering in my life ...... most of which has never happened.” Mark Twain
How do I allow the good in my life...and why is it so hard to do sometimes? So many of us have handed over our life to something or someone and don't have our hand on our own switch anymore. How can we take back our life?.
Appreciation of aspects of our life and setting up our day before we get up is so important. Let's take time to check in with ourselves to see why we're not feeling good and find which tools we can use to find the connection to the good within or our natural well-being. Feeling bad is not our fault...its the speed that our culture works and it can be hard to keep balance in our life.
Esther Hicks says,
"You have your hand on the switch. You are the allower or the resister. And your emotions tell you which you’re doing right now. It’s easy once you understand the formula: When you feel good, you’re allowing good. When you don’t feel good, you are not allowing good.
We didn’t say, when you feel good you are allowing good, and when you feel bad you are allowing bad (although it may translate into your experience in that way). There is only a Source of Well-being—which you are allowing or not."
Lying! What makes us lie, we all do it from time to time. Lying is often a reaction from fear or trying to make people feel better, trying to avoid something, or to make us be the way someone else wants us to be. Let's explore why we or others lie. Why do we lie? We all know in some way that someone is lying. What can we do? Some cultures accept lying as a part of lives. Ask ourselves why am I lying, why is lying considered to be so bad?
Lying is a part of all cultures and yet some accept is more than others. what is your truth about lying.
Let's take the stigma away from lying and find out why we and others lie.
What is EGO? What is an egotistical person and why are they like that? How does our ego evolve and why it's a mirror or consciousness grower. We often judge people as being bad when we feel that they are egotistical. Let's explore what that is and how it enables us to expand our consciousness. The ego helps us to become more conscious.
Why are cats so amazing and so psychic. They're the best companions. Taking time to communicate with them through our hearts is a gift to us and them. Cats are great communicators and communicate in many different ways. They can travel with us into meditation and into the other dimensions and help us to move more deeply into our depths.
As we stroke their softness helps us to go into the alpha brainwaves, which can help us go more easily into sleep.
Dogs, why we love them and the gifts they give us. They are the truest and best friends and companions, who are always loving and loyal if they haven't been badly treated. When we accept and love them, they connect us to our love and the well-being.
Dogs help us to find the joy, love and loyalty within us all. They are so sensitive to our needs and how they can help us and can sense illness, sadness and so much more.Give them a chance and they will be there for us to balance and nurture us. Dogs have been with humans for thousands of years, let's chat about dogs.
Are we running on other people's or other things rhythms...how can we find our natural rhythm? We loose our natural rhythms as we grow in our culture and often we have to re-find our natural rhythms again?
What is your natural rhythm and how can you find it. When we are able to find our rhythm and discover how to to move with that...even though you might not be able to completely be in rhythm, you can move as often as possible...it can really change the comfort and ease of life. Let's explore how to set the rhythm of our life.
Trouble sleeping...join us to discover tools that can help. So many people have problems sleeping and struggle with exhaustion during the day. Join us as we explore tools, ideas and techniques that can enable us to explore our sleep.
We can't sleep go to sleep easily or sleep deeply unless our brainwaves move from beta into theta and delta ...music our bedding and many other things can help...let's explore.
The insight timer is a great resource for meditations for sleep.
Speaking with the dead and how we can do it. Only our body dies, but our energy,vibration goes on and we can communicate with our loved ones through that vibration. Let's explore how we can do this and why it's important.
Most of us are unsure about doing this and question our connections and messages, but after receiving messages that no one else could have told us we become more sure and it is easier. Lets chat about speaking with the dead and how we can find peace with the death of our loved ones.
A great workbook is, "The New Happiness: Practices for Spiritual Growth and Living with Intention"
by Matthew McKay (Author), Jeffrey C. Wood (Author)
If only.... we live our life in so many if only's. When we can stay mindful, be present in this moment and investigate situations, where we have if only's... we can release so much pain and mental struggle.. We can go back and discover the why we said or did what we did and whether the person is alive or not we can release the if only's.
Every experience is a chance for expansion and consciousness. We gather light and greater consciousness through these two little words, it's a consciousness gatherer.
"If our religion is based on salvation, our chief emotions will be fear and trembling.
If our religion is based on wonder, our chief emotion will be gratitude.”
Carl Jung
The great prophets were deeply connected to their oneness and completeness...when trying happens we loose that connection that is naturally ours. How can we leave the trying and re-connect.
Let's explore what the great prophets said and what they might have meant?
The power of weeds, why it's so important to leave a few in your garden. Weeds have very powerful energy and many are medicinal and helpful in our life.
Weeds are only weeds because we feel that they are in a place that they shouldn't be. We can keep a section of our garden for weeds and enjoy the benefits that they bring. Weeds are survivors and carry very strong healing energy. What grows around us naturally is often the plant or energy we need. Nature is a wonderful communicator, when we can communicate through our heart, we can too. Lets chat!
When we try to eliminate something in our life, it can cause resistance. Transform instead using tools and techniques, this can with mindfulness, bring us more freedom. Trying to eliminating causes force and resistance, transforming is about slowing down and gathering mindfulness and consciousness.
Trying to eliminate something in our life like smoking tends to squash us, make us feel as if we're failing and that we have to fight something to make it happen. Transforming allows us to gather consciousness through mindfulness. Relax, take time to be mindful and see how this can change what you want to eliminate so much more easily.
Remember when we try to eliminate something form our life, we are searching to transform, let's explore.
"As long as you think that your problem is 'out there' it means that you are forever in the role of victim." Byron Katie. We often believe our thoughts and they take control of us and rule us and our behavior. We can struggle and feel as if the world is not supporting us, Byron Katie's 4 questions can change this and bring us greater inner freedom. Let's explore our beliefs and ideas and look at a few limiting thoughts we have!
Robert Anthony said: "There are no victims, only volunteers."
Feeling rushed? How to slow down now. Most of us are rushing through our lives and in doing this loosing so much of our life as it passes by. Why it's so important for our health and well being to slow down. Our bodies and minds find greater ease and balance when we take the time to be mindful of slowing down in our day.
Just taking a few moments of slow down can make our life more fulfilling and peaceful...take a few slow down moments now.
What is community? How finding or making community can fulfill so many of our needs and what are the gifts of being in a community? How we can create or find one?
In a world where so many are feeling so disconnected and alone, community brings connection and a feeling as if we belong. We know that someone will be there if we are sick, or need cheering up, or need someone to check on our animals. While extended families and neighborhoods are dissolving, community can take their place. Finding community can be so important in our lives, let's explore how we can do this and how can we find communities in our area or online?
Join us as we chat about community.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without loosing enthusiasm." Winston Churchill. Many feel as if they are losers when they fail at something, if we look at these times as great teachers, we become wiser and stronger.
What did you learn when this 'failure' happened? What growth happened from this experience? We aren't failures when we fail, it's only something that we did or something that happened to us. We can remain who we are if we don't identify with the failure.
When we feel like a failure, we need to find moments of meditation or stillness, to connect us to who we are and the power we gain from this.
Let's explore how we learn and grow from failure and how it can make us stronger.
The difference between neediness and needs. Neediness comes from being empty and seems to never to be truly fulfilled, it controls us and we struggle to try to desperately 'get our neediness filled. Needs are what we might need on a daily basis, for like food and shelter.
Neediness has a struggle and desperation. Unless we have access to the oneness, wholeness, completeness within, it's have to move beyond neediness. Being connected to the wholeness within we fill ourselves and that is one the only real way to fulfilneediness.
Anxiety, how can we cope with it in day to day lives? Does it control us and how can we manage it? So often we are living our lives in anxiety. Mindfulness can change how we cope with anxiety as well as a few helpful tools and techniques, join us as we explore anxiety.
Disappointment. How it can trap us into reactions and how we can reframe our thoughts and words and change our relationships and emotional past.
Relationships can make or break because we hold onto disappointments. Let's explore how we can move beyond disappointments and heal parts of our past.
So often we hold disappointments and they begin to cover the people we love and slowly we loose the ability to see them, only our disappointments with them.
Can we relax enough to see who a person really is when we meet them rather than seeing them as we are hoping they are. Can we see situations as they are, rather than what we think they were. Disappointments can control our actions and reactions...let's chat.
Want to be happy? Why trying keeps us away from the happiness we seek. What can we do to find and grow happiness and discover how it can lead us to joy or depression. Happiness can be a trap or a bridge, which one is it for you. Perhaps it's different on different days?
Trying traps us, keeps us away from the happiness and joy we yearn for.
Discover how to use happiness as a bridge to the states of joy, peace and love
Don't feel like you're a failure when you make a mistake. Don't feel like you're a failure when you make a mistake. Mistakes are our best teachers and we all make them. What is a mistake anyway? Let's explore mistakes and discover what gifts and wisdom we gain from them.
Often we cling to a mistake, because it took a long time making it, when we know that every mistake is an opportunity we can often move beyond! Ask which mistakes can't I let go, write them down and look at what opportunities and wisdom they grew.
Admit when we make a mistake and realize that something isn't working. Rather than judge ourselves look for the teachings and wisdom. Often we can't find that until we let go of self judgement. Let's chat!
What happens if someone doesn't like or approve of me? What do we do when someone doesn't approve of us? We remind ourselves that we have triggered a button in them from their past and they projected this onto us. When we can remain mindful and realize that their buttons come from their past and not from us, we can see them as in a movie and remain in balance.
They can't help this. Breathing from our heart can change their reactions to us and our reactions to them.
We explore why gardening can ease depression and release our happy chemicals - with amazing results. We just have to get our fingers dirty and harvest our own veggies or fruit. New research shows that key gardening has triggers that release serotonin and dopamine, these are our happy chemicals. Gardening stops us ruminating about stuff that bothers us, keeping us in the present and gives us powerful micro organisms that can help.
Research also shows us that an ancient response happens when we harvest food which releases dopamine, into the reward center of our brain, much like shopping does.
Gardening can really ease anxiety, stress and depression and give us a sense of connection.
Plants can bring us a sens of cheerfulness, which is healing and uplifting and you can do it even in an apartment. Let's start today....join us to chat about how.
What is the Golden Rule of all religions,? How can I manage my thoughts and consciously/mindfully speak and act . How can I walk in the Golden Rule that is shared through all religions. Can we ask ourselves, "Are we sending out what we want to get back" in our thoughts, speech and what we do?

Hinduism - Treat others as you yourself want to be treated
Christianity - do unto others as you would have them do unto you

How to deal with aggressive people. What creates aggression and what tools can we use to keep in balance when this happens. Aggression is to do with them, not you, don't take it on it's not you, their aggression is a reflection of the pain within them. It takes time to master. and mindfulness is a powerful tool. Note which buttons it hits in you and self talk can be very helpful
Acceptance, life experiences can help us to discover self acceptance. Why do we all seek acceptance and why do we feel so bad when we aren't accepted? We seek acceptance when we don't accept ourselves. When someone isn't accepting you, what is it within you that is triggering something within them? It's good to realize that you are the catalyst to their reaction and that their reaction comes from some pain or confusion with them. We can explore with someone who is not accepting us why they aren't accepting us. Let's chat about acceptance!
What is the medicine wheel and how can we use it in our day? An ancient tool for transformation and gathering consciousness, the medicine wheel can be made on our bathroom mirror, our desk, in our yard, in our living room, anywhere that we have a small or large space. Jill suggests how we can build and use one anywhere.
There are ancient people's from around the world that have used and still use wheels/circles for ceremony from today to ancient times. The wheel can help us to connect with the universe and every part of us and our life. It helps us to live our lives in greater consciousness, mindfulness and tread gently in our life and on our earth.
Jill shares how the Medicine wheel helped her to move beyond fear into trust. Join us as we talk about the Medicine Wheel.
The disease of more, do we have it and how it affects us. We can get lost in trying to get more to fill us and how can we fill ourselves from within? More prestige, more attractive, more money, more attention...without judging ourselves how can we move beyond the 'more'? We don't have to have it - to have it.
Do I want it or do I need it, or do I want it and need it:) Why do i need more?
"We need a sense of self-worth, one that comes without price tags, and is not based on the value of our possessions." Howard C Samuels PHD He adds "Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
How a woman's journey through the Sahara desert changed her life. The Toureg and the Waadabe communicate without words and are inclusive with those who journey with them, they are confident and seem to truly know who they are. Leslie believes it comes from being completely accepted by their culture and having learnt through the example of their elders and parents, not from formal teachings.
The Sahara sand dunes are legendary and they are known to be transformational for those who travel them .She discovered patience and a knowledge of who she is as she journeyed with the Toureg.
Join us as we travel with Leslie Clark.
Leslie also shares how she established medical and other programs for the Toureg and why it's changing their lives.

Touching is so important for our health and well-being, why is it so hard for us to relax and allow? Let's chat about why it helps us connect to our oneness and open to who we are and why so many people are touch starved.
Hugging connects us to our bodies, to comfort in being in our body, when we can accept a loving hug, it can heal and expand us. Let's explore why we so often connect hugs to sex, sometimes it can be a part of that and it can also be a very loving and caring gesture. This is very important to explore.

Pantheism. The connection to all things and through this we connect to our Great Mystery and our God. We find our power and heart of who we are through nature, also through our conscious appreciative connection to everything around us. The connection to all things enables us to find personal fulfillment and well-being. Let's explore!
Nature brings us the bridges of connection to our oneness. Our energy never dies, it is always a part of everything. Energy never dies, it changes form.
"Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you," Keeanu Reeves. I am the only one who is me, there will never be another like me, I am unique and important, even when no one else has realized it. How do we release comparisons and enjoy who we are, then we can find the gifts we have that are uniquely ours.
Comparison takes away our power and seeing our gifts enables us to find our gifts, how can we find our power and how can we live that.
What are chakras? How can they make your life healthier, happier and more joyous? Balancing them can enable us to find peace and ease in your life and you can do it once a day or whenever you need a 'pick me up', or a bit of a lift in your day. It's amazing how much better you'll feel when you do balance them. Join us in a chakra meditation.
"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” Paul Boese
How can we move on when it's hard to forgive. We don't have to forgive , but if we don't find tools and techniques to enable us to move on, we trap ourselves in that time and situation.
Forgiveness frees us and helps us to find more love, compassion and joy in our lives. Forgiveness traps us in the energy of the situation and thoughts of the situation. We can detach the act from the person and understanding can help us to unwind the pain.
What is paranormal? Why do ghosts, UFO's and other phenomena make us feel fearful? There are so many phenomena that are beyond our understanding and so often because they are beyond our rational mind they scare us. Let's explore why and how we can find strength and new awakenings from them.
Giving, when we give freely, without expectations and with abandon, we expand all areas of our life. When we give without any thought of something coming back magic happens. All aspects of our life can be enriched by giving.
When we want something from giving, we are giving to get and we can suffer when we don't get the results we hoped for. Perhaps we can change our ideas about giving and enrich our lives. Let's chat about the enjoyment and machinations of giving and giving from your heart.
Too fat, too thin! What are the glories of being fat or thin? How does it affect us when we are attached to being thin or fat and why does it matter? How do we live our lives when it matters?
Our bodies are space suits, we are using them for our journey in this life. How can we honor our body and use it with love and respect. Let's honor where we are today, where we are within ourselves and within our body. Join us in our discussion.
The Bodhisattva ideal is not about making the world a better place. It is about helping others find peace and clarity in the circumstances of their lives, whatever they may be. If you hold a utopian ideal, you are lost in belief. As noted below, belief blinds. You are trying to make the world conform to what you hold inside. This is always a recipe for disaster. Among the hells this idea has generated are The Inquisition, The Gulag, The Cultural Revolution, any number of wars and any number of cults (Buddhism, unfortunately, is not immune to cults).
Instead, take a look at your life and see what is out of balance, internal or external. Take steps to address that imbalance. Your life will never be in balance, but you can keep moving in the direction of balance. Note, however, that as soon as you take steps to address one imbalance, everything changes. Now look for the next imbalance to address. Ken McLeod
Introvert, extrovert ...which are you or are we all a little or each. How do move from one to the other? We need to balance outflow of energy and the inflow of energy, but how can we do that and identify what's happening?
Life is a circle, it's not linear the pulling inwards balances our push into our world. We are all trying to balance, or craving a natural balancing of introvert and extrovert parts of us.
How can we enjoy where we are and tools and tools that can help to balance introversion and extroversion. We can create a bridge between the two!
Our story, we all have one or two and they change. How can we honor the story. Our stories morph and change as we revisit them. We know that our stories change each time we think of them, they are living things that evolve. Pulling ourselves back to observe our life can be so helpful.
How can we move from being a victim as we tell our story? Let's re-frame our stories and I am not my story. We can move beyond feeling that if we've suffered enough someone will step forward and love us and give us compassion and caring.
Our stories are living and growing and can give us gifts.
Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid. Everyone is a genius. Einstein. Everyone has an area in their life where they are a genius, where is your area of genius? Do you know, let's explore!
Why IQ tests tell only a tiny part of our genius and why they are so limiting. Where it yours? Suport someone in helping them to find their genius.
We have a purring kitty with us on this interview.
Taking responsibility without judging ourselves and why it's so important to enable us to live the life we want . It's about erasing the programs that aren't supporting us and taking responsibility for our life, our thoughts, our word and our actions. We find a more full life will open from our taking responsibility.
Reactions trap us, actions free us and yet much of the time we are reacting from childhood patterns. Responsibility breaks the cycle of reaction and gives us the ability to stop the blame and frees us.
Alcohol, drugs, foods, sex why do we crave what we crave? Could we be searching for that place of connection to our inner connection to our oneness? How can we find tools to help us to find that inner place of peace, joy and well-being?
These can open us to ourselves and yet there are ways that we can open to that place within using powerful spiritual tools. We are searching for a way to connect with others or with your inner well-being. Is your craving a net that traps you or a net that frees you? What is it that you feel you can find in the substance, that you could find through tools and techniques and mindfulness that can help us to change our lives.
We are the source/God/well-being, but how can we find that natural place that is always with us without substance?
he source, God, Universal Mind, The Oneness what are they and how can we experience them.
What is beyond life, beyond, God, beyond the oneness, the source?
What is beyond Universal consciousness? How can we explore and find what is beyond? Negative energies can be balanced through our balancing ourselves. What is "the darkness?" Tremendous light emerges from tremendous darkness. How do we hold the light.
Jonathan Goldman chakra healing is helpful.
Relationships later in life, why they can be so great! We don't need the other to fill us and we can offer latitude and great comfort. There's a sens of all's well, without trying to change the other. We are complete with ourselves and with each other, we're not looking for the other to complete us. The work when there are issues between older individuals happens with greater ease. They can be the best relationships in our life.
Why changing our view of stigmas can change our world. Bankruptcy, homelessness, being poor, disfigured, without retirement, why are they stigmatized? Is our view of how others should be making us suffer? Let's explore how we can change that.
Every so often, a Count used to come to my parents farm in Africa. They would give him food and a bed and he'd play his violin. He said he became a homeless traveler so that he could be free. There is a new wave of minimalists who are choosing to live a simple life, let's explore! Could some homeless be homeless because they don't want to be in the race the rest of us are in?
Mindfulness, our thoughts, places of power, ley lines of the planet, why do they matter? Join us for a chat with Alisdair Coyne about Stonehenge, St Andrews, Lye Lines, places of power and a whole lot more. He shares his experiences of places of power like Stonehenge and St Andrews as well as others.
We also chat about why our energy and thoughts can change our world, and why there is not hurry!
Did you have a loving or a challenging mother? Join us as we explore how to find the gifts and strengths that we gained from our mothers. No matter how loving or how hard life was with them, there are always challenges and always strengths and gifts we gathered and developed from having them.
Jill and Fiona had opposite experiences, yet both gathered powerful life lessons from their mothers. Join us as we explore life or experiences with our mothers.
Hauntings! Why are we so scared when we encounter other worldly phenomena?Both Jill and Fiona are mediums and have helped many with find closure with loved ones, got messages from those who have passed, or enabled beings to move beyond being stuck.
Because we drop our space suit of a body, doesn't mean that we are gone, we have just moved beyond the physical. There is no death, only the physical body dies.
``` "If someone were to casually give your body away to any old passerby, you would naturally be furious. Why then do you feel no shame in giving your precious mind over to any person who might wish to influence you." Epictitus
```
Why is that, we hand our mind easily to someone on TV, on the internet or other media. We don't realize how damaging that can be for us. The world can control our bodies, but the mind is ours...always and it's our most prized possession. We all have a tendency to go along with everyone else...it's tribal, but today let's ask ourselves to be mindful and take our mind back.
Questions. Don't look for the answers, rather look for the questions. Answers can lock down our minds, questions open them. We feel safe with answers, how would it be if you take a jump and ask new questions?
Investigate, question and it can lead us to new ways to live and new parts of us. Join us for a chat about questions. Perhaps allow peoples answers and investigate why they have these answers.
"When I speak about love and compassion, I speak I do so not as a Buddhist, nor as a Tibetan nor as the Dali Lama, I do so as one human being speaking with another, and I hope that you at this moment will think of yourself as a human being rather than as an American, an Asian, a European and Africa or a member of any particular country." Dali Lama
How can we live our life with compassion, love and be more inclusive rather than exclusive. Travel gives us a view that almost nothing else can
Failure! Why it's so important to be transparent about failure and how it is our most important teacher. Most of us feel embarrassed about our failures and try to hide them. What if we embraced them and realized that they are the greatest gift.
We learn and expand from failure and gather consciousness that makes us and when we make them transparent we can expand our lives. They become stairways to greater consciousness.

"Life is filled with suffering, but it is also filled with many wonders, like the blue sky, the sunshine, the eyes of a baby. To suffer is not enough. We must also be in touch with the wonders of life. They are within us and all around us, everywhere, any time. If we are not happy, if we are not peaceful, we cannot share peace and happiness with others, even those we love, those who live under the same roof. If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace." Thick Nhat Hahn
“Recently, one friend asked me, “How can I force myself to smile when I am filled with sorrow? It isn’t natural.” I told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. A human being is like a television set with millions of channels. If we turn the Buddha on, we are the Buddha. If we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. If we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. We can not let just one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

imagined to be true." Adyashanti

Each day brings us the chance to move between both, but in our western world we celebrate and applaud people who have the most knowledge, have done and achieved the most. How would it be if we also applaud the times when we are simple, the moment watching a cloud or enjoying music.

"Research has found many examples of how doing good, in ways big or small, not only feels good, but also does us good. For instance, the well-being-boosting and depression-lowering benefits of volunteering have been repeatedly documented. As has the sense of meaning and purpose that often accompanies altruistic behavior. Even when it comes to money, spending it on others predicts increases in happiness compared to spending it on ourselves. Moreover, there is now neural evidence from fMRI studies suggesting a link between generosity and happiness in the brain. For example, donating money to charitable organizations activates the same (mesolimbic) regions of the brain that respond to monetary rewards or sex. In fact, the mere intent and commitment to generosity can stimulate neural change and make people happier." Marianna Pogosyan PhD.

My approach quickly gets you to the core of who you are and what you are here to offer the world and guides you to boldly, clearly and passionately bring your leadership into the world."

Born in 1940, Gary has been interested in personal improvement via psychology since age 13. He recognized that the quality of his thoughts was mirrored in the quality of his life.
EFT is based on the natural flow of energy within our bodies. It is similar to Chinese acupuncture in that it allows the body to heal itself naturally. EFT strengthens and moves the body’s energy, which helps restore the body to its naturally balanced state. It often provides relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms and is usually quite gentle." Gary Craig www.emofree.com

"If you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself of all of that cumbersome impossibility of needing to control the world, or control your mate, or control your child. You are the only one who creates your reality.

Ubuntu. I am because we are. We are all connected and how living this can heal our world!
Desmond Tutu describes it as , " A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity."
Nelson Mandela said, "A traveler through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not enrich themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to be able to improve?"
Living kindness, compassion, generosity and love is Ubuntu and with this we can change our micro and macro world.

Death and dying gracefully is a series of podcasts to explore and experience.
