Radiating Love

WISDOM ~ Season 5 Episode 170

~

The heart does not ask us to become more loving.

----more----

Love is not something we wait to receive.
It is a quiet presence that already lives within us, waiting to be remembered, nurtured, and shared. This gentle meditation invites you to reconnect with your heart, allowing love to arise naturally from within and extend effortlessly into the world around you.

Perhaps love is not waiting somewhere outside of you.

Perhaps it has been quietly resting within you all along.

Discover all of what is waiting for you inside Juno.

r e s t o r e ~ A Guided Restorative Meditation with Progressive Muscle Relaxation

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 163

~

In this episode of 'ask dorothy'

Restorative meditations are designed to shift your nervous system into a parasympathetic state, actively unwinding stress and tension.

These practices focus on deep, conscious breathing, mental release, and body awareness.

Instead of requiring active focus or concentration, restorative meditation involves lying down completely supported, scanning your body for tension, and 'letting go of effort' to achieve deep physical and mental renewal.

This style is highly beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, or burnout. It is also widely used as a sleep aid or an afternoon reset, making it ideal for those who struggle with traditional, active meditation techniques.

Healing The Mind: Cognitive Priming for Lasting Resilience

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 161

~

In this episode of 'ask dorothy'

People experiencing mental ill health frequently engage in a style of thinking called “Repetitive Negative Thinking.”

This style of thinking involves the tendency to have negative thoughts about the future (worry) or about the past (rumination), and these thoughts can feel uncontrollable.

In the absence of a cure or effective treatment for dementia, attention has shifted towards identifying risk factors for prevention.

Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) describes self-perceived worsening of cognition despite unimpaired performance on neuropsychological tests. SCD has been associated with an increased dementia risk and steeper memory decline.

Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a transdiagnostic process that manifests across several mental health disorders associated with increased vulnerability to dementia. RNT has thus been proposed as a candidate marker of risk for dementia and, relatedly, could contribute to the manifestation of SCD.

The best measures if you are looking to support optimal cognitive functioning is to begin with your daily thoughts and the underlying beliefs that influence the thoughts you hold.

💗

Here I share the research findings ~ how negative thoughts are associated with a disease of the brain ~ and most importantly what you can do yourself to heal the mind. You can teach yourself new ways of thinking and being. I share several strategies that work - here.

🧠

*I have a science backed 30 day experiential journey ~ created to help you develop the habits of a positive mind. If you like to experience this for yourself, drop me an email askdorothy@dorothyzennuriyejuno.com or follow the link in the description.

This self-directed Masterclass lives inside the Juno app. It includes a vibrant course classroom where you have access to multiple resources, and my guidance and support.

It is one of the features of the Juno app that makes us unique - skill based tools and best practices, courses and Masterclasses ~ all to improve and maintain excellent mental health.

Yoga Nidra, often translated as "yogic sleep" or "sleep with awareness," is a guided, restorative meditation technique. It brings you into a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, allowing your nervous system to transition from a "fight-or-flight" state into deep, restorative relaxation.In this sacred healing garden, experience your 'sankalpa' or heartfelt intention for this practice, the sound garden itself, the traditional rotation of awareness, the breath as it becomes music, the healing fountain, the singing flowers, the tree of resonance, the temple bell and resting in spaciousness, golden healing light ~ all to support your healing journey.

What Do You Overshare?

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 159

~

In this episode of 'ask dorothy'

We've all done it. Perhaps when you've been excited to be speaking with someone, perhaps you notice that you enjoy the attention when all eyes in a group are focus on you ~ maybe its when you have that special someone's undivided attention - or maybe you've overshared as the result of having a certain affinity towards a person you've just met - or someone in a trusted long term relationship.

To overshare is to disclose an inappropriate amount of highly personal, sensitive, or confidential information.

It can be to the wrong people - for example to your boss or a work colleague, in the wrong setting, - in the middle of a job interview, at a friend's party perhaps as you find yourself the center of attention yet you don't really know anyone at the party - or disclosing too much, too early as you are starting to get to know someone in a relationship.

💗

If you would like strategies for navigating the relationships in your life with others who overshare, or if you find yourself oversharing and would like my help, please reach out to me. Thank you!

Transmuting Trauma Into Peace

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 158

~

~ scroll down to play

~ listen to the audio here

Find this Spiritual Healing Talk and an abundance of Spiritual Wisdom inside the Juno app.

~

Choose for the physical manifestations of healing in thoughts and perceptions, beliefs, positive feelings, forgiveness of yourself and others ~ and as you hold privilege in knowing this is possible.

This realization and the infinite knowing that every moment lived through the eyes of spiritual wonder ~ holds light and the real world presence of each glorious moment and the next. The present moment is your healing space.

It is also not without needing to address what physical manifestations of trauma have impacted you.

You may have careful, sacred healing work in your outer life to accomplish, yet remember it always stems from the inner state of peace and love that you must choose to live from. This is not dependent on others, nor their treatment of you - your inner state of peace and love is based on your free will to choose that for yourself.

If you would like my help in transmuting past trauma into peace, please reach out to me:

The 8 Lessons of What a Father Needs to Be

Life Rules for Fatherhood for all of Mankind

If you've been challenged as a father; if you have conflict with any of your children or if perhaps you don't understand or agree with your children's decisions and actions, it may be useful to embrace this list.

Here, I explain the most important and necessary aspects of fatherhood.

This may shine ample light on why you have been struggling ~ why it has not been as easy as it could be ~ and how to have a far more loving and respectful relationship with your child ~ regardless of their age ~ and yours.

Self-Regulation for Your Nervous System

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 155

~

In this episode of 'ask dorothy'

When we speak about regulating the nervous system, we are talking about the ways in which you can intervene when you feel anxious, stressed, sad, or any other uncomfortable emotion - to create relief, comfort, safety and presence.

One of the true mechanisms of regulating the nervous system is to bring the mind's attention to the present.

Here I'll show you how to create your own unique way of self-regulating using breath coupled with another sensory organ. This helps to keep the mind focused in the present moment and it has the additional benefit of actively creating calm for the nervous system.

'Gentle noticing' shifts you out of autopilot, helping you observe the minutiae of daily life and defuse difficult emotions through simple, compassionate awareness.

This particular practice is about giving your complete attention to life before you. Your full and complete attention - nothing spared.

Your whole heart ~ your whole being.

Be amazed at what you notice.

Or Maybe It Is You That Needs To Change

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 63

We are able to identify in someone else - in our partner, in a sibling, a parent, a friend - what needs to change - and we become focused on this and often to the exclusion of asking: What do I need to do differently?

~

Change is fuelled by a deep desire. As humans we often seek change in one of two ways: We are motivated out of a desire for self-improvement and to elevate our experiences and the way in which we live life because we believe that this improvement will benefit us - It will help us further our goals of self-actualization and happiness. Change is also largely motivated out of suffering and the desire to be free of what conditions are undesired.

You are the co-creator of your life. If you are struggling in any of your relationships - with co-workers, friends, your boss, your direct reports, your partner, your children - point the proverbial finger first at yourself and ask: What am I doing here that is contributing to my suffering/ or to the problem as I see it? And then to ask, what do I need to do differently?

The Miracle of Surrender

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 62

What does it truly mean to surrender?

To surrender into the present moment – to love unparalleled is to live with your heart open and full of love – to quiet the noise of the mind in its deliberate efforts to compare and compete and to critique and ---- to acknowledge this as it is occurring means that you can choose to pause – to stop – to be grateful instead for the moments that you are being shown of something that you also want and you will find a way to make it your own and of your light.

8 Rituals of The Heart

'ask dorothy' ~ VIDEO EPISODE

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 59

Rituals are a set of actions or words performed in the same or similar way every time. They cultivate what is experienced as ceremony, celebration or sacred observance.

Rituals are prophetic and deeply significant for they become the ways of being that you live.

~

Hridaya is the place where one experiences their true self. It's a connection to feeling something larger than yourself. It is how you feel love, compassion and inspirational truth.

Here I am speaking of hridaya and the rituals that support your ability to engage in the sacred rituals that are inspired by your spiritual heart.

In this episode of 'ask dorothy' I'll be sharing the eight rituals to inspire you towards greater possibility or living from your spiritual heart.

Perhaps as we go through this list, you will choose any or all of these rituals as your own.

A Meditation of Promise

  • A NEW 30 Day Journey Begins

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 58

Promise is the conviction of your heart's grace.

Promise is the love and sincerity that you begin towards everything bountiful.

This is a Meditation to inspire the conviction you hold to yourself ~ to flourish.

A spiritual practice designed to help you visualize the inspiration and abundance that is possible ~ to live a life filled with the understanding that you are loved, to be all that you can be ~ and to appreciate even more, all that you are.

Love's condition is the promise - it is for me the messages of hope and certainty and love.

In the miracles of love and tenderness, I believe. In the guiding wisdom of my heart, I remember.

All of my life is the path, the world of good that I remember and live and for the journey of life's bounty before me.

The Lies We Believe

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 56

💗

Its each one of us that tells the story of a different nature. It is the story of where our mind goes that begins a slow decline.

It feels like we are losing control - and we are.

When we believe what we tell our self rather than what is actually true.

What thoughts do you believe? What thoughts are actually lies you tell yourself that become the reasons why you don't do something or why you do something that is not truly best and right for you?

In this episode I share the story of my client Caitlyn and the perpetual lies that she told herself - that caused her to continue in a state of sadness, hopelessness and self-sabotage.

*The name of my client ha been changed. Her story is real.

💗

The thoughts of the mind become distinguishable as you live their presence - and as you question what you tell yourself because what you tell yourself you believe.

Sometimes the miracles we co-create and achieve are simply ~ the ability to get out of the way of our thoughts and the self-sabotaging contradictions we create in the mind.

What do you tell yourself and believe that is far from true?

Here I share the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Principles that can help you shift what thoughts and lies you believe.

The truth will set you free.

The Future Is Now

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 55

🌼 🎉 🕯️

The journey is the destination.

Desire is the imagery of light that manifests worlds beyond the present.

What you give your attention to develops in form into a physical reality - whether as you imagine it or something similar.

We are living the real world conditions of everything now imagined, thought, decided - in the present - our future decided or undecided is here in the present - now.

The concept of fluid destiny suggests that our future is not fixed, but it is constantly being shaped by our desires and actions.

Love Will Always Find You

'ask dorothy'

Love with a partner and in a relationship in which you never give up honoring what is truly important to you - what truly matters, means never giving up hope for what could be.

We find a way to make our dreams come true. For as we never stop believing in the power of what is truly desired, we will always manifest the biggest love with the very best person that we could possibly imagine.

I hope for you in listening, you will be inspired to do the same.

In this episode I share three different client stories that help describe how you become ready for love - how important the relationship with yourself is as a priority for knowing yourself well - and how love truly finds you.

*The names of my clients have been changed... their stories are real.

AWAKEN

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 49

💜

~ Living awake is living in full authority of your truth. ~

If life, there are pivotal moments, tipping points, where we are standing
on a precipice.

It is as as if our eyes suddenly open to see everything with clarity.
It is in that moment that we awaken, that we wake up to our life and
what actions we have been engaging in that are not serving our deepest
desires, nor our highest good.
In those aha moments, it is impossible to turn back.
Being able to witness the truth, to have clear knowing of it, means that
we no longer live in darkness. 💗

Each month inside The JUNO app we post curated inspirational messages and wisdom and love - all in support of the month's practice before us.

It is a way for you to experience another aspect of what we offer in Juno - a sacred community is a way to connect with other like-minded individuals and to celebrate life and its sacred teachings.

In this NEW 30 Day Journey of Sacred Ground, we are exploring together the ways that you can live 'Heaven on Earth' now.

Follow the guided prompts and the resources intended to best guide you into the inner journey of Sacred Ground ~ here and forever.😊😁😄

When You Feel Triggered, Do This Instead

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 48

💜

Inside this Episode: 5 things not to do when you're triggered and of course what to do instead.

Make this your go to guide for how you can effectively manage and alleviate a trigger expression.

When you experience a "trigger" – a stimulus that evokes a strong emotional and/or physiological response – the Central Nervous System (CNS) becomes activated, particularly the sympathetic nervous system, triggering a stress response or "fight-or-flight or freeze" response.

This is because your brain comprehends an event or experience in the present as similar to typically a negative (or traumatic) real event or experience of the past.

Sacred Ground ~ Living Your Heaven on Earth

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 46

💜

The Journey of 'Living Heaven on Earth is twofold:

😇 It is first to deepen your spiritual path and the ways in which you bring forth
spiritual study and real life experiences, raising your consciousness as you live both
in the physical and nonphysical worlds (and simultaneously in some moments.)

😇 The second exploration is that of the wisdom 'to be' ~ to experience all of the
beauty of life ~ all of the sacred abundance and love that you can possibly know ~
knowing that it originates within and of you. You ignite this wisdom, in how you
choose to live each moment.

💗 Seeing the world before you with a mindset that is beyond secular experiences ~
and with a new approach that becomes the building blocks for living here and now
as the inertia of love's grace.

😇 All of heaven awaits here and of the present ~ beginning with how you choose
to think and feel.

💗 At the end of this month, I wish for you all of the ways that you have described
#heaven to be ~ and as a constant in your life.

💗 This includes how you have chosen to treat others, how you show up for yourself
and of course how you choose to see all of life.

😇 The visual we are going to build has all of the makings of a 'project' that continues
to unfold and be created.

Are you ready?

You are bringing to life #newsacredground. Let us help you.🤗😇

Join us each day here in our #sacredCommunity and most importantly as you live the
vision you uphold for yourself.

True 'Letting Go' Looks Like This...

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 41

💜

:: episode timestamps ::

Introduction to this Episode ~ 0-1:12 | 'Ask Dorothy' Podcast Intro ~ 1:13 | The Concept of 'Letting Go' ~ 3:25 | Podcast Outro ~ 13:15

~

How do you truly 'let go'?

To let go doesn't imply that you stop caring. When you 'let go' you are able to let go of the thoughts and emotions that cause you to continue in all that creates your suffering.

In this episode of 'ask dorothy' I share the story of my client Valentina and her daughter Kendra ~ their difficult relationship and its damaging effects.

'Letting go' is not agreement with what is hurtful and abusive.

'Letting go' is the realization that despite how much you want and wish things would be different, you are willing to live in the reality of 'what is' and this means grieving the loss of a relationship and love that is conditional.

For what you may need to 'let go' of, begin with acceptance of 'what is', with how others are - as they are - and without creating the narratives of how others should be.

It's possible to 'let go' in healthy ways and to navigate with care the thin line between holding on to what was not possible and 'letting go' to a greater reality of what you choose for your happiness.

*The names of my clients have been changed. Their story and its details are real.

What Is Modern Love?

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 37

💜

:: episode timestamps ::

'ask dorothy' Musical Intro ~ 0-2:14 | The Understanding of Modern Love ~ 2:15 | Worthiness ~ 2:55 | Love Is... ~ 3:41 | The Loving Grace of Forever... ~ 4:27 | The NEW Modern Love ~ 6:04 | The Path Into the Self ~ 8:47 | The Relationship With Yourself ~ 9:10 | Self-Love is Self-Sustaining ~ 9:42 | Love Must Prevail Within You ~ 12:02 | You Must First Be the Source of Your Love ~ 12:58 | Modern Love IS Self-Love... ~ 14:51 | Love In Now is the True Healing Force ~ 15:59 | Podcast Outro ~ 17:47

Modern love is the expression of what lives in the bounds of humanity ~ fraught with endless needs and the relief of nothing. It is what holds us hostage from ourselves ~ for when we look for the solution to feeling happy and whole in another person, we relinquish the ability to find it first within ourselves.

Your potential to love is enduring. It is for you. It is so that you may rely on yourself in autonomy and grace and your willingness to believe in yourself for that is how you support your needs ~ always.

The new modern love is the realization that we need to give love freely ~ to our self ~ and to all others.

It is not a selfish construct for the beauty of love is that it is endless. There will always be more love to give, to receive, to feel.

The magic of love’s pure essence is felt in the full authority of what you know.

What you know is how powerful love can be when it is pure and authentic ~ when it is felt solely for its own purpose ~ to love.

What Decisions Will Always Honour You?

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 32

💜

~ What matters is where you were in that time and space ~ and in that moment in which you decided. ~

How do you know if your decisions were the right ones?

You made the conscious and deliberate choices in tune with what was right and best for you. In a time and a space in which you needed to be safe ~ to heal ~ to be whole.

When you make any decision from a place of honoring yourself, for in the larger scope of what is truly important for your healing, for what you needed to feel peace, this is not what needs justifying.

As you do so, you will find your courage...

How Abuse Informs You

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 31

💜

'The anomaly is the tenderness ~ the grace ~ the light of the soul's awakened state of pure being. ~ dzj

It is about understanding that not all caregivers are careful, not all parents are equipped nor responsible to care for our needs.

~

One of the most powerful ways to open yourself to the light, to grow your power ~ to see and know your worth and your value, is to name all that you have experienced ~ for what is wrong, incorrect suffering of another, unkind, abusive, misogyny, misandry, dishonesty.

Name has been your experiences to bring them into the light ~ to see them as they are, to no longer allow this to be acceptable and normative.

As you do this you awaken. You awaken to your truth. You awaken to know the truth and it is different than what you were taught and told to believe.

This in itself is healing.

What Are You Ready To Forgive?

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 25

💜

Beginning a path of forgiveness helps you take new positive actions.

As you take the steps towards forgiving yourself, it is helpful to examine the situations and life events in which you spoke and acted in a way that was not indicative of your true kind and loving nature.

If you are on a path of self-forgiveness, begin here.

The space for complete self-forgiveness begins with the situations, events, people in which you feel remorse - and in many cases where you have already made amends and where you no longer act and react in a way that would be hurtful and wrongful.

Forgiveness needs to live within you. Forgiveness occurs out of positive change.

If you continue in the behaviors that cause your suffering and the suffering of others and if you are not dedicated to changing your actions, you are also not going to be able to forgive.

Forgiveness is activated out of sincere remorse and the thoughtful new behaviors that you have put in place.

A Manifesto Of Peace

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 21

💜

~ When you choose to exist in as a state of perpetual peace, life unfolds to reveal this - life unfolds in perfect and miraculous ways to reveal this. ~

A state of peace is the nature of all love, all certainty, all wonder here and in the grace of the divine - here and in the perfection of all things and of your inner light.

Peace as the wonder that you hold in the willingness of all of life.

To exist in peace is to exude a state of calm and tenderness outpouring.

Like a beacon of light, peace is the passage. Peace is the power of great oneness with the sanctity of your heart open in love and in the journey of all things that begin with now.

Manifesting Miracles ~ A Bliss Meditation

  • our NEW Content Calendar for December REVEAL🪄💗✨

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 16

💜

A Miracle IS...

~ an extraordinary event taken as a sign of the supernatural power of God.
~ an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.
~ a wonderful, surprising event or thing, a marvel, phenomenon, a rarity.

Can you feel the experience of love and miracles? For yourself, for others?

Can you be the catalyst for love and miracles?


Miracles do live in the everyday moments. They are magical because they exemplify this mystery and fascination and wonder that makes all of life a far more special and beautiful place to live and be.

In your journey with me, give the ever present gift to yourself of life lived in the presence of pure perfection.

See how you may continue to bring the presence of wonder and fascination and miracles into the present ~ into the forefront, because it is what you live and breathe.

You just need to notice.

~ What if we allowed ourselves to bask in the fullness of life's every experience, to open our heart completely ~ to live with our heart wide open? ~

Joy is a heightened momentary blissful state.

It may be best described as great pleasure, intense beauty, thrill, laughter, warmth, presence, excitement, exhilaration, appreciation, and love.

Different from happiness, joy is fleeting and also intense.
Joy is a state of your heart exploding with emotion.

All of these involve the allowing of your heart to be open, to witness, to experience what moves you so deliberately into joy.

Abundant Self-Love

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 11

💜

'The miracle - of abundant self-love is learning how to open the heart at will - in the safety and comfort of you as love unconditional.' - DZJ

Self-love is the holy grail of happiness and self-belief.

When you love yourself unconditionally and as you continue to strive for all that you wish for your life, hold love in your heart and of your being ~ repeatedly and fearlessly loving ~ to self.

We all need to practice self-love. There isn't a human being born that isn't needing to hold the privilege of self-love as a basic and fundamental way of being.

We all have the capacity to love instinctively. You CAN love another even when you dislike or loathe yourself. To love is beautiful. In many ways we crave it. This is why we go in search of someone to love and to love us. We have been conditioned to believe that love happens to us.

You hold love. You are love. You only need to choose this - and in all moments and directed unto yourself.

Enjoy this experiential practice in cultivating self-love.

If you would like my help on your self-love journey, please reach out to me. Let me help.

The Sex You Want To Have Again... And Better

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 7

💜

In a long term love relationship, we ride the waves of personal growth to evolve what was into something far greater.

When couples talk about the diminished or nonexistent sexual life and if you and your partner are committed to improving healing the love relationship and you both are highly compatible and in love - you likely need to first address the basics.

Fundamental to nurturing love and the desire for sex is kindness consideration care loving actions - because sex is an act of love in a healthy monogamous relationship.

It is a sharing of your physical self in an intimate way with another expression of love and tenderness.

How you are with your partner in the day to day moments of your life translates into your sexual life for desire to share of yourself - to give of yourself sexually must be built upon a foundations of expression love in all of the other ways you relate and respond with your partner.

Sex is a privilege. If you are missing a healthy sex life and a loving respectful sexual relationship. begin with how you treat one another outside of the bedroom.

Asking Is Receiving

The WISDOM podcast Season 5 Episode 1

💜

My client Meredith was struggling with immobilizing anxiety. The final three months of the last semester of grade 11 she did not attend in person. She described that she 'almost never left her house' with the exception of attending volleyball practices and games.

This episode is based on the true story of my client Meredith* and her struggles (in silence) with depression and anxiety.

It's about the journey back into healing and wellness that can happen when we are brave enough to ask for help... and to keep asking.🤗

What Is Meditation?

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Bonus Episode 1

💜

The practice is to quiet one's thinking and to exist in a space of pure awareness, presence, attending to each moment.

We need meditation to show us how to create space within our typically busy mind, for being present and as a practice that leads us within; to attune to the openness and quiet that exists as a deeper aspect of our being.

Meditation allows us to soften our mind, to evoke a state of inner kindness that becomes a state of being in which to live from.

Meditation teaches the practice of knowing the self. For it is here that we create a wondrous life out of care and ease and presence.

In your practice you gain greater understanding in who you are, to hold the space for truth, knowledge of what is "right" and "best" for you in any given moment, to experience calmness and tranquility and the opportunity to live present - to experience each moment as it is before you.

All of these things teach you so much about yourself. You will experience the cumulative effect of your meditation practice. It is beautiful. It is sacred. Through Meditation you open yourself to experiencing and living awakened in your life.

I hope the journey for you in meditation is a beautiful transition. Into a glorious new way of living life. Thank you.

A Mother's Inspirational Message

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 118

💜

The healing is symbolic. It is also reflective of your future relationship.

~

In Today's Episode:

My client and her mother are not so different from other mothers and daughters. As I sit before both of them I feel hopeful. A daughter willing to enter into therapy to work on gaining closeness and understanding with her mother and to overcome the hurt of comments and past wounds that she has carried largely in silence.

A mother, not aware her daughter has been carrying shame and self-loathing, and being misunderstood by the same gender parent who is supposed to love you without question. It's likely that my client's mother has also carried the self-effacing weight of shame and self-loathing herself.

Stacey's mother has joined her in this session, willing to be part of a process that she has little knowledge of and certainly no idea of where it will lead.

What makes my clients' story so interesting is the level of commitment that each woman brings to the therapy session that highlights the value they place on one another – on being a family, on improving the way in which they communicate so that words are not spoken without consideration of the other and with the ultimate hope of healing the past so that there can be a new way to experience this relationship and each another – in a way that they can both trust in.

*Both client names have been changed to maintain confidentiality.

~

The NEW Metta Loving Kindness Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 115

💜

Increased compassion for ourselves and others, better relationships, and decreased stress and anxiety are just some of the benefits of 'Metta' ~ or loving-kindness practice

~

Today's Episode:

This Loving Kindness Meditation is an Ancient Buddhist practice that cultivates goodwill and universal friendliness toward oneself and others.

Loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic or appreciative joy (also called positive empathy) and equanimity are rigorous meditation practices, used for the most part to cultivate one-pointed concentrated attention, out of which the powers of these evoked qualities emerge, transfiguring the heart.

Metta meditation, or loving-kindness meditation, is a Buddhist practice for cultivating compassion for ourselves and others through directing loving, friendly phrases and goodwill.

The word “metta” is a Pali word, most often translated as loving-kindness, but has also been translated as universal goodwill or loving-friendliness.

~

Aligned with the traditional practice of Metta bhavana loving kindness, I have curated a 'new experience' of the traditional loving kindness meditation ~ one that is based on the careful witnessing of your heart open, to embrace the deliberate offering of your intentional desire to all others ~ as well as, beginning and ending with yourself.

Miracles Transpired

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 113

💜

Losing a pet teaches us about loss and death.

~

In Today's Episode:

If you are grieving the loss of your pet - it is normal for it to rouse memories and sadness and also trauma events of past experiences of a previous pet's illness and / or death.

You can hold the space in those moments to acknowledge your pet's deeply important presence in your life

  • to feel the depth of love that you felt for them and to remember how dedicated their love was of you.

Let your pain be felt as momentary pause for a life lived with love and in 'being love.'

For it is about how much we can love, how we can love unconditionally and completely that permeates the experiences of sadness and sorrow we feel in our pets death.

In Today's Episode:

When you ponder great love - when you imagine what this could look and feel like and to have it now and before you, what do you wish for?

What is the love that you wish to have?

What is the love you wish to be?

For as many different ways we can show and be love, perhaps none is as important as when we feel our love for another full on and completely.

Love's purity finds you. It envelopes you. You only have to let it in and then to share it in loving ways completely - for the nature of love is the greatest gift you could behold another.

Love and beauty that love offers is religiously, undistinguishably the highest honor you can bestow on another.

The Trauma Mind Needs This

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 105

💜

'Love is the carrier of all healing. You heal through love.' - dzj

If you would like my help on your personal healing journey, please reach out to me.

To be healed is more that possible.

~

In Today's Episode:

Trauma is the experience of a very stressful, frightening or distressing event that was or is difficult to cope with and beyond our control.

It could be one incident, or an ongoing event that happens over a long period of time.

Putting a name to trauma has changed the way we think about what we have lived and endured – bringing to life the systemic generational patterns of living and reliving trauma episodes as a course of everyday life - not to mention the unforeseen life events that impact us deeply.

This episode is about healing. It is about recognizing the need for removing yourself from the conditions and situations that continue to evoke the experience of reliving trauma as well as its numerous physical, emotional, psychological and cognitive effects.

If you or someone you know needs help to create a safe environment so that they can fully heal the past traumas they have suffered, please share this episode with them. It is a starting place to begin and it is a way to gauge your journey of healing.

I begin with a checklist.

This is intended to give you viable ways in which you can soothe and heal the body and mind and to free yourself from the trauma experiences that you have lived.

Consider what you are able to do now and what you know is. necessary for all of your healing.

Persevere With Love💗

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 104

💜

'If you falter, return to love.'

~ ⭐The Ninth Episode in a Series on Living Remarkable🤩 ~

To live remarkable is to step into the highest wisdom of your authority – authority as self-empowered, self-governing, of right action, of honor and grace – and acting with self-control.

This becomes a deliberate example of confidence that builds from personal expertise – of self-knowledge, personal autonomy and a strong sense of self.

It is to live your greatest each and every moment – greatness that is your natural state – as love in action.

To live remarkable is to choose using your free will to live upstanding – to be excellent, to shine beyond, to do your very best – to live by the highest level ideals you can possibly have - now and of this moment.

~

Today's Episode:

As we come full circle in our 30day journey of living remarkable, we land here in Day 30 ~ The prompt in our journey content calendar is to 'Persevere With Love.'

The words can illicit deep commitment, endless resolve and still – how does one live, making an effort to do or achieve something as a course of action even in the face of difficulties or in spite of opposition or discouragement – AND when it takes a long time?

That is precisely the journey of love. It is something we continue in despite challenges and the difficulties we encounter in situations and with others.

But first, what is the alternative? If you do not hold love as the embrace to all situations where does this find you?

You Trigger Me'

How Past Trauma Affects Your Current Relationship

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 102

💜

'The truth is that our new partner will at times evoke emotion that feels similar to a previous event in which we were treated poorly, neglectfully and with hurt or abuse.'

⭐The Seventh Episode in a Series on Living Remarkable🤩 ~

To live remarkable is to step into the highest wisdom of your authority – authority as self-empowered, self-governing, of right action, of honor and grace – and acting with self-control.

This becomes a deliberate example of confidence that builds from personal expertise – of self-knowledge, personal autonomy and a strong sense of self.

It is to live your greatest each and every moment – greatness that is your natural state – as love in action.

To live remarkable is to choose using your free will to live upstanding – to be excellent, to shine beyond, to do your very best – to live by the highest level ideals you can possibly have - now and of this moment.

~

Today's Episode:

You bring into your new relationship all of what you carry ~ all of what you continue to live 'in' and 'as.'

When you speak to the current moments in which you feel triggered, you can then be more attentive to remaining present - and to organizing your emotions in the 'here and now.'

The outcome is typically 'a learning' of both how to self-regulate and how to remain present as an observer ~ as someone engaged in understanding this moment, this interaction, what our partner truly meant and their intentions behind their actions. We can also realize that she or he is not our former partner, nor parent, nor sibling - rather they are the person that we want to build our present and future with.

In this episode I share stories of my client Samantha and my couple clients Karen and Jeff* as they navigate their current relationship when they are triggered of traumatic events of their past.

*All client names have been changed in order to main client confidentiality.

Nourish Your Nervous System

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 101

💜

In deliberate mindful deep breathing, you are signaling the parasympathetic nervous system to switch on – to be dominant.

⭐The Sixth Episode in a Series on Living Remarkable🤩 ~

To live remarkable is to step into the highest wisdom of your authority – authority as self-empowered, self-governing, of right action, of honor and grace – and acting with self-control.

This becomes a deliberate example of confidence that builds from personal expertise – of self-knowledge, personal autonomy and a strong sense of self.

It is to live your greatest each and every moment – greatness that is your natural state – as love in action.

To live remarkable is to choose using your free will to live upstanding – to be excellent, to shine beyond, to do your very best – to live by the highest level ideals you can possibly have - now and of this moment.

~

Today's Episode:

When we experience a stressful situation- that causes us dysregulation the ideal is that we regulate ourselves to return to homeostatic balance.

In today’s world and if we are bombarded with stressors both perceived and actual – our nervous system doesn’t always have an opportunity to return to homeostatic balance before another stressor appears.

The result becomes a chronic state of dysregulation that we live in from the moment we start to read our emails in the morning or as we arrive at work. For some dysregulation occurs as our first thoughts of the day are anxiety-filled.

This is why it is important to actively regulate your nervous system – to in essence – nourish it - and how you do this is to be mindfully attuned to your body and mind so that you can create harmony and ease in how you feel.

Here I guide you in two of the simplest ways to effectively regulate and nourish your nervous system ~ using specific breathing techniques.

Maximizing 'Flow State'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 99

💜

“Flow state is the infinite lived in the forever of now.”

It is casting light into the moments you live now and of the next and the next.

Flow state is a positive experience of attention, alertness, creativity, joy – in whatever the task, the movement, the activity.

~ The Fourth Episode in a Series on Living Remarkable🤩 ~

To live remarkable is to step into the highest wisdom of your authority – authority as self-empowered, self-governing, of right action, of honor and grace – and acting with self-control.

This becomes a deliberate example of confidence that builds from personal expertise – of self-knowledge, personal autonomy and a strong sense of self.

It is to live your greatest each and every moment – greatness that is your natural state – as love in action.

To live remarkable is to choose using your free will to live upstanding – to be excellent, to shine beyond, to do your very best – to live by the highest level ideals you can possibly have - now and of this moment.

~

A well-known phenomenon in research on human performance is “flow” (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990, 2014), a state of full task engagement (that is - a mental/cognitive state in which a person is completely focused on a single task or activity) and with low levels of self-referential thinking (e.g., worrying, self-reflection).

Flow is often associated with athletes, artists, and scientists who are fully task-absorbed in order to achieve peak performance.

Experiencing flow is accompanied with a sense of accomplishment, meaningfulness, and positive mood states (Csikszentmihalyi and Nakamura, 2010), and as such, flow also plays a role in well-being.

Unveiling Our 'Sacred Circle'

and 30 Days of Sacred Devotion

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 95

🪷

In this special episode of The WISDOM podcast we round out our month of Sacred Devotion inside The JUNO app with our NEW #SacredCircle series.

🪷

A sacred circle

...is a vestibule for what more you seek. –

It is a place that is deemed hallowed – sacred – through our adornment and blessing. – It is a place to which we hold space for one another – to meet, to share, all in the dignity and grace of inspired consciousness and to elevate our collective oneness.

The journey is before you. The practices you have put in place are to be continued.

This has been your introduction – 30 days is a beginning – to a new habit – a new set of practices – and a new way of thinking about the importance of what lives within you and what you nurture – that becomes the outer aspects of your lived reality.

-

This month the journey is sacred devotion.

Devotion: is love, loyalty, enthusiasm for a person, an activity and a cause.

How you practice sacred devotion this month and beyond will be up to you. I am encouraging that inclusive of the beliefs you hold in religion and spirituality that you devote this month to an inner journey.

Your inner sacred journey is the careful witnessing of all that is abundant – all that is love – all that is your mystical authority for love in the shadows awaits.

The journey is not forgotten. It is life affirming. It is hope. It is reassurance for what more shall be and for all that you already are.

30 Days of Sacred Devotion

  • 'Your Inner Ashram' Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 87

💜

~ The First Episode in a Series on Sacred Devotion ~

~ "In the heart of devotion lives the self." ~ dzj

🪷

This month the journey is sacred devotion.

Devotion: is love, loyalty, enthusiasm for a person, an activity and a cause.

How you practice sacred devotion this month and beyond will be up to you. I am encouraging that inclusive of the beliefs you hold in religion and spirituality that you devote this month to an inner journey.

Build your inner ashram – a sacred (inner) dwelling space that you cultivate through meditation, prayer, spiritual and religious practices all of which nourish you.

Some of these practices could be time alone in self-reflection and inner contemplation, exploring your feelings through writing, seeking to learn and discover more about yourself through careful observing and in greater self-awareness – allowing for more presence and being – and to be guided the natural outpouring of what moves and inspires you.

Think of this as a retreat of devotion of cognitive, emotional, physical psychological and spiritual sustenance – of journeying deeper into who and what you are so that you may live the outer moments of life more deliberately and in the presence of what you are discovering and in practicing the resounding truth of inner peace, harmony, faith, divine love and the foundational consciousness of sacred practices fueled in the abundance of life’s true authority.

'I Feel Heard and Understood'

The Power of Communicating With Love | 'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 84

💜

~ A Mini Series on The Power of Communicating With Love ~

~

~ The power of communication with love is eternal. ~

💜

When have you truly felt as though someone understood you completely?

For whatever your earlier life experiences have been, know that it is most important for you to first ignite yourself in the experience of your own voice. This happens when you find solace in the moments in which to live in your own presence.

Its when we bring to light our own needs and how we will care for our needs our self that we begin to feel a connection within.

When we feel a need to be heard and understood it can come from a place of not having our needs and desires met. It can be a lack of emotional support or a physical absence of a parent or caregiver or a busy and full household in which our needs and experiences were not validated or deemed important.

When you seek to be heard and understood it is both a natural experience of being in a relationship and it is also driven by a sense of feeling this.

When you look to feel heard and understood in your relationships especially your love relationship, it is a matter of practice the same.

How well are you at listening to your partner – of holding space – of not being reactive rather patient? ~ Listening, present, nonjudgmental.

How well can you rephrase in your own words the messages that you have just heard?

How able are you to practice listening and understanding as you are modelling this behavior to them to practice?

Listen without needing to comment. Listen whilst being present and attentive. Open yourself to what you are learning in pure listening and how you communicate with your heart – that you understand your partner’s words and their needs.

Can you practice in the knowing that your partner will learn the same skills that you hold and you can ask for this with kindness and love in return when you practice it whole heartedly.

~

Living abundant is living life to the fullest. It is about honoring the life you have built and continue to build for yourself. For this is how you reveal all of life’s bounty and goodness that exists in the present and all that is possible for you.

'I Hear You'

The Power of Communicating With Love | 'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 81

💜

~ The Second Episode in a Series on Living Abundant ~

~

~ The power of communication with love is eternal. ~

💜

Indeed one of the most pressing items when I work with couples is to improve communication.

Communication is the culmination of all things. We communicate as the simple and also blessed ways in which we may live in the entirety of our true nature. For all of the ways that we can share of our intimate portrayal of self, communication through spoken and written word and through the miracles of our heart.

In kind actions, unspoken gestures, seeing the other as they are – in the fullness of their complete self as whole and perfect.

We communicate through the everlasting covenant of our heart in great measure – all for the certitude of the divine – all for the greatest measures of life itself – all for the welcomed self -eternal.

Communication is an act of kindness and love. If you remember this then it is going to change the way that you think and speak and listen to your partner and to all others.

~

Living abundant is living life to the fullest. It is about honoring the life you have built and continue to build for yourself. For this is how you reveal all of life’s bounty and goodness that exists in the present and all that is possible for you.

Living Abundant ~ A 30 Day Journey

  • An Affirmation Visualization

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 80

💜

~ The First Episode in a Series on Living Abundant ~

~

~ Living abundant is seeing the richness of life all around you. ~

💜

I am excited to ease into what we are calling a 30 day journey. It is just that. An easeful approach of living abundant.

Living more moments of your life in awe of the abundance of everything.

And to practice holding even more appreciation of what is already in your life – as it is currently.

Living abundant is living life to the fullest. It is about honoring the life you have built and continue to build for yourself. For this is how you reveal all of life’s bounty and goodness that exists in the present and all that is possible for you.

~

An Affirmation Visualization

Notice which affirmations feel most inspiring and notice in your body what is felt when you repeat these words with me.

  • I am abundant.

  • All of what I desire and manifest lives within me.

  • My world is beautiful.

  • I live peaceful. My life is peaceful.

  • I hold within me infinite desires for living an incredible life now and forever.

  • I am capable of feeling more joy every day.

  • I am abundantly loved and I love wholeheartedly and without conditions.

  • I am grateful for so much I have an incredible potential for healing.

  • I am abundantly whole and complete as I am.

  • I am the majesty (authority - power) of my life.

Take a few moments in silence – say your own affirmations of abundant living. You may wish to write these as you say them.

Parenting The Self

You Teach Everything You Are (Part 1 of 3) | 'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 75

💜

~ The Fifth Episode in a Series on REBIRTH and Becoming ~

~

~ Awareness if the first step of your rebirth ~

💜

~

The parenting you give is both a reflection of who you are at any given moment and the culmination of your life experiences and teachings including and especially those lessons that you have ingrained – even if they are not what you believe.

Here in Part 1 of this 3-Part Series on 'Parenting The Self', we dive into both the metaphorical and actual habits and tendencies that predict the way in which you will parent ~ because everything you are is what you teach and reveal to your child.


Parenting will teach you so much about yourself and simultaneously who you have the potential to be.

It will ignite past traumas, your critical and limiting beliefs, your worries and fears ~ and all of your vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

As you take the journey of parenthood – all of the wisdom you gain with one child is helpful for rearing the next and the next.

All of the children you raise will have different imprints because of who you were in those formative years of each of their lives – and who you continue to be.

~

In order to rebirth yourself, you need to be able to let go of the patterned conditioning of the mind.

Like a true rebirth it is about cleansing, releasing, stepping forward and out of what has kept you hostage.

Your first step of rebirth here is to be aware – be aware of the inner dialogue, how you step into drama situations and the drama of others when really you are looking for peace, calm, equanimity, love and to live your life on a path that is truly best for you.

Persistent trauma related intrusive thoughts are common in individuals with post traumatic stress disorder.

Reoccurring drama scenarios can trigger past experiences of trauma and cause anxiety, depression, fear and other debilitating feelings.

As you learn to recognize your learned patterns of reacting to drama, you can begin to adopt new healthy reactions to situations that are beyond your control.

Your spiritual journey exists out daily sacred practices that reaffirm your oneness with the divine and all towards living a meaningful and pure life.

Embodying love and compassion, holding gratitude and appreciation, offering forgiveness and generosity, participating in meditation, holding reverence for all of life and taking care of one’s well-being are all a part of living a spiritual life.

Spiritual journeying is how you explore the world as a sensory being through the expression of love and kindness and the deliverance of living as a oneness with all of life. ~ dorothy zennuriye juno

Join us inside the JUNO app where we have been journeying together in 30 days of spiritual growth.

Spiritual Journeying is an intention. - It is openness to the world beyond your eyes. It is about the desire you hold to ask some or all of the bigger questions in your own life and to use the wisdom you have for receiving your answers.

The beautiful thing about spiritual growth is that there is no true ending point for all that lives in the balance of your life now is a part of the spiritual life you may live.

To have a spiritual life is what truly makes life sacred.

~ Find your way into more of life's sacred moments that live in the ordinary ~ that are destined for greatness. ~

💜

What are the sacred moments you live?

Sacred defined as highly valued and important, special, worthy of reverence and respect, most beautiful in the eyes of the beholder, of a spiritual nature, in love and grace, all towards the sojourn of living awake and aware.

Sacred implies that there is something indeed special and meaningful in the moments that you create through awareness and attention ~ and with an open heart – in the possibilities of the moments before you and in noticing, holding presence to the experiences unfolding.

Sacred is to bring an attention of meaning to the everyday.

It can be an auspicious ceremony in a temple in a faraway country that you have gathered in witness of – and it can also be the way in which you experience the first part of your day in the quiet, solitude of peace, of serenity – of an open heart, of prayer, of meditation, of beingness - all towards living a more meaningful and spiritual life – a peaceful life.

In the moments of now think about what makes your life sacred?

~

Your spiritual journey exists out daily sacred practices that reaffirm your oneness with the divine and all towards living a meaningful and pure life.

6 Success Secrets in Your Therapy and

Life Coaching Journey

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 22

~ The answers to best guide you in your self-directed personal growth and in therapy and life coaching. ~

💜

~ The First in a Series on Therapy and Life Coaching Tools for Self-Mastery and Excellence ~

The Foundation of Brilliance

~ A BLISS MEDITATION ~

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 20

~ To manifest your desires of transformation ~ all that you need is already a part of you. ~

💜

This is the Fifth of Six Episodes in a Series on Personal Transformation.

The experience of love and mystics holds the journey for each one of us.

Love and presence is found here in the life that you live – in the efforts of free will choice and grace that are for you a oneness of everything.

In this bliss meditation, it is ideal if you can re listen at bedtime – each night before you drift off to sleep ~

and as your subconscious mind is most susceptible to the journey – the goals that become the life lived – the messages of spirit and the nonphysical are the true power of certainty in the reflection of now.

As you open your mind and heart to this ~ as you focus on your 3rd eye – the space between your eyebrows this is a place of imagination – of light – of wonder – of servitude for what has come before and of the greatest revelations of all that is before you.

.

-

Bliss meditations came to be birthed in the word out of a true inner calling to help others activate the primordial state of love and tenderness that they are meant to exist as.

Each of these meditations hold within them the sacred measures for all of life.

What you find is a pure and direct path into divine consciousness and the ability to love not only yourself but the greater whole that you are witness to.

My Personal Best ~ How Far Can I Go?

No Limits Self-Transformation

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 19

~ In every moment ~ you all hold a choice. The choices you decide determine everything. ~

💜

~ The Fourth in a Series of Six on Personal Transformation ~

Personal transformation is an ever-changing and uniquely individualized process of expanding consciousness whereby individuals become consciously aware of previous and new self-perceptions and choose to integrate these into a new definition and way of being ~ of self.

To help you get started ~ to provide some of the road map that will set you up for the personal ideals that you can live by ~ be sure to check out my Episode featuring the eight self-transformational tools that become the success habits of your life up levelled. Listen here:

😊

"Personal transformation is the act of rendering yourself what new habits and routines will build the certainty of all that you seek and know and believe to be possible – for there are no measures without the certainty and willingness of personal transformation led by the joy of your desire for more." ~ dorothy zennuriye juno

When you think of personal best ~ are you remembering that it is your best and no one else’s ?

Are you remembering that personal best requires an elevation in your consciousness that is the true catalyst for all that you may achieve?

Because knowledge begins with the embracing of our power and potential to rise above everything we have every known. And as many of you know, change and transformation begin first in the mind and in the heart.

When you include the larger portrait of what deems wholeness, then personal best is the mindset you hold and how you shift your mindset when you feel less positive.

Personal best is the thoughts that become the beliefs you hold and how your thoughts and perceptions determine the kind of person you choose to be as well as how you feel about yourself and the consistent mood state that you deliberately live.

Something else about personal best that is very inspiring ~ you need to choose it. It is not enough to wait, to decide that the steps are too difficult or will take too much time. It is about holding belief in the desires that fuel your happiness and all that you seek ~ and in all areas of life.

Spiritual Joy

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 14

~ Spiritual joy exists when you free yourself from attachments of the past and concerns with the future – to live in the present. ~

💜

Our final and seventh episode in this series on 'Happiness' & 'JOY'

Join me in this episode as I walk us through the sacred meaning of spiritual joy and share a WISDOM Note as you contemplate the practice of living in true abundant joy.

Spiritual joy – is an elevated state of consciousness that is built upon the practices of releasing the mind’s need to build and tell stories (of past or future) and to hold thoughts that are not serving to the nature of joy that you can embody.

This is a journey. It is a practice that I know you will want to embrace, for living the true meaning of joy.

The 'new joy' is spiritual abundance – the abundant nature of your life and the knowledge that all that you are is the perfection of life itself.

Spiritual joy is grace. It is the profound liberation of all suffering because the freedom of joy is in the present moment. ~ You must be here to hold witness to it.

Practical Wisdom:

Whenever you feel an absence of joy, Ask yourself: Am I living in the present?

The Love and Kindness of Happiness

~ A BLISS MEDITATION ~

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 13

~ The grace of you heart open in kindness and generosity become the tools of engagement – of happiness lived in the certainty of the present. ~

💜

Your mantras for this bliss meditation remind you of your fragrant beauty and love – all towards what you seek and live and know.

The kindness of my soul inspires of me to care lovingly and responsibly for my relationships with all living beings (people, animals, plants) and all of nature.

The love I feel towards myself is the love that I easily extend to all others.

“In this bliss meditation you evoke the healing energy of love and kindness. You witness its merciful path into all of the ways that you may live free – gathered by the truth of what is before you and unto the light of your being.”

Bliss meditations came to be birthed in the word out of a true inner calling to help others activate the primordial state of love and tenderness that they are meant to exist as.

Each of these meditations hold within them the sacred measures for all of life.

What you find is a pure and direct path into divine consciousness and the ability to love not only yourself but the greater whole that you are witness to.

“Happiness is the expression of light in the material world.”

"Happiness is the feeling of wholeness as we give in love and kindness to the self and to others."

"Happiness exists when you are kind and loving for there is no greater expression in how you may treat the self."

Your Happiness Mantra:

Peaceful begins with you

Love begins with you

Kindness begins with you

Happiness and Joy are your namesake

Do you want to transform your life?

To make happiness a thriving state in most moments, you begin with a positive mindset, a loving mindset, actions of kindness and love to all others and towards yourself ~ and you practice this.

If living and being happy was not something that was taught to you, you may need to practice living with a new mindset and new ideals.

Look at HAPPINESS (and/or whatever adjective you choose ~ love, peace, contentment, positivism, self-love) AS YOUR NEW NORMAL.

Then to ask yourself the question – How can I make happiness and joy my everyday, every moment state?

When Is It Really Love?

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 7

The seventh of eight episodes in a series on 'The Power of Love'.

"Love is grace. Love is kindness and the actions of love are felt deeply as the soul level ~ even when at times one is giving more than receiving."

~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

:: episode time stamps ::

Podcast Theme Intro ~ 0-1:36 | A Spiritual Definition of Love ~ 1:39 | An Example of What Pure Unconditional Love Feels Like ~ 6:04 | An Experiential Practice of Feeling Loved ~12:17 | Practice Giving Love to Feel Love ~17:04 | Podcast Theme Outro ~ 19:51

Why is this question so important?

How do you know when it is love?

What else could it be?

I share a story here from my childhood and one not of romantic love to describe the feeling that we experience early in life of the feeling of being loved.

You see, we learn what love feels like long before we put words to it and long before we look for and find romantic love.

It is always a feeling first. As you recognize this you begin to know the feeling of love when it is real and when it is another language – a language of deception, lust, greed, selfishness, manipulation.

It isn’t always necessary to identify what the other feeling is as long as you recognize when it is not love.

And simply to know when the feeling of love ~ is presence or absent. It will be visibly, tangibly noticeable ~ just like it was for me that day in the reactions of both uncle and grandfather ~ because love is the most beautiful energy in the world.

As you name this feeling ~ as you know what love feels like within your being, then you know when someone is being loving towards you and when it is not love.

How to Fall in Love Again With Your Partner

Challenge Yourself to Be Different in the Way That You Interact With Your Partner ~ 26:25 | Podcast Music Outro ~ 29:10

In keeping with the practices of self-love that support and foster a loving romantic relationship, I have 8 healthy practices that serve to wield love ~ fully and completely and to invite it into your heart and towards your partner.

  • bonus content (find more inside the WISDOM BLOG post):

There are two necessary criteria for experiencing unconditional and unrelenting love towards your partner. You both must honour one another and the relationship as sacred and thus it requires that: (1) both members of a couple invest time and effort consistently in the relationship and each other and (2) you both must make the relationship a priority ~ not in place of caring for your individual needs, but as the important and discerning practice of reaffirming your decision in choosing a life partner that is both your best friend and the person that you love completely as a life partner.

You fall out of love because you stop loving. You may stop loving because you have so many hurts that you no longer wish to have more.

You may stop loving because you do not feel love or loved from your partner.

You love because the actions of love are so beautiful.

You love because you can and because you want to share out this beautiful energy because to do so feels amazing.

Join me as we dive into the beautiful ways love does last forever ~ and why ~ for a time we may not love....

In the beautiful ways that love endures, how does love last forever?

Healing Is Love

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 4

~ Love is the passage into light ~

💜

The fourth of eight episodes in a series of The Power of Love...

Accept that healing is always occurring for each one of us. Healing and self-nourishment are what guides us forward.

It is what reveals the work of light to enter where there was once darkness and it is healing that reveals some of the greatest gifts we could ever know.

The way that you heal is through love. Self-love.

Healing from the experiences of your past is necessary for the love and peace that you want to live in the present.

The wisdom of the knowledge we hold is the sustaining grace of our future.

How To Heal After A Relationship Ends

Embrace the Possibilities for Growth and Transformation

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 3

:: A Series on The Power of Love ::

~ Healing at the end of a love relationship is necessary. ~

💜

:: episode timestamps ::

The inspiration for this Episode 0 - 1:12 | Podcast Template Intro 1:12 | The Goal of Healing ~ 2:53 | The Need to Cultivate Autonomy ~ 10:06 | The Purpose of Love ~ 12:52 | Healing at the End of a Love Relationship is Necessary ~ 14:31 | An Experiential Practice of Healing and Love ~ 16:01 | The Self-Love Inventory ~ 32:02 | When Do You Begin to Date? ~ 32:29 | The 30-day Challenge of Love ~ 33:07 | Download the JUNO app! ~ 34:22 | Podcast Outro ~ 36:30

What happens when you don’t heal from the hurts of a past relationship? You carry your wounds and your hurts. They can continue to surface and you become skilled at avoiding thinking about these... and in doing so you disavow the parts of you that need your love and attention.

One of the greatest things that love teaches us is about the authority we have to be autonomous, self-nurturing, self-responsible ~ able to care for our needs and to do so in loving ways.

The purpose of love is so many things. It is to heal, to rebirth, to be wise to realize that love is the energy of grace and forgiveness and kindness.

It is to follow a path inward to one’s self knowing that it will be safe to do so.

In my work with clients those who accomplish the most profound healing journey they could ever imagine – do so because of their willingness to open themselves in trust, in the trust in themselves and in me that they will not be alone because thus far and for any of the reasons, they have felt alone or lonely or unloved, ashamed, hurt, betrayed – the brilliance of love is this ~ pure and easeful and forgiving.

Something that I would like you to take with you from this episode is the insight to what you have learned from any of your past relationship endings.

There is so much that life teaches us that become important life lessons if we open ourselves to their powerful messages of healing and self-love.

The idea of romantic love is something that we all seek. We want to love. We want to be loved.

Unconditional love of a partner and especially when this love was not constant or present in our life is what helps us to feel our wholeness, to see ourselves as we truly are - and live our greatness.

The idea of romantic love is to guide us into ourselves ~ to hold us responsible for our ability to be loving and to know the love that we capable of.

The journey and evolution of the wisdom podcast is one that I am both so proud and mesmerized by.

It truly began as an outpouring of the overwhelming need to share the stories of my clients whose courage, beauty, love and willingness to heal surpassed all odds.

If you haven’t already, you must check out the episodes of season one – all sixteen + 3 bonus episodes - are inspired by the true stories of these incredible people who braved the circumstances of their life and never gave up hope for change ~ for love ~ for healing ~ for their destiny.

During season two I added a second episode each week to the lineup and in addition to Sunday’s premiere episode.

Titled ‘ask dorothy’ and dedicated to the healing journey and its experiences as witnessed through the lives of my clients, the ‘ask dorothy’ series had also became a place to answer your questions which I always appreciate receiving. 😉🥰

In love we hold the ability for all things.

In love we find means to heal ourselves and to reclaim our wholeness.

Inside Season Four I imagine that the journey will continue to reveal what inspiration and love matters most because without love and grace the willingness to heal cannot exist.

We are all on a journey of self-discovery and healing even if we are not conscious of this.

When you awaken to your beautiful experience and nature as love, you defy all odds for what miracles exist.

This is the greatest adventure of life itself and one that awaits each one of us.

Thank you for joining me on the journey this far and for stepping into all that this new season shall bring.

In the space of now and as something that I hope you will dive into as you enjoy what is to come, I have prepared a playlist of some of my favourite episodes of Season Three (and there are so many more) than what I have listed here...

I invite you to listen to what is here for you.

The journey is infinite. It is meant to be enjoyed in the fullness of your heart open.

Love is your destiny. It is your superpower. It is always within you.

Join me for an amazing journey as we breathe life into all that is to come! 💜

Self-Love is the Absence of Ego

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 108

~ For you to heal ( with ) self-love it must be embraced without a critical mind and rather in the complete nature of what love truly is. ~

💜

Ego cannot exist in an environment of self-honesty. In the absence of ego you are forced to look at yourself and to see yourself with honesty rather than defensiveness ignorance and unwillingness. And it is a choice.

To live out of your ego is to hold yourself back from the potential that you are and this includes the willingness to see yourself accurately, truthfully, wholly ~ so that you can do what is needed to define your path towards truly living your greatness and not defending mediocrity.

The True Meaning of Self-Love

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 104

'The more I practice being love, the easier it is to love myself and to love others.'

~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

Self-love is the unconditional state of love that you offer to yourself ~ you hold the deliberate inspiration for all of life that leads you here and into the sacred wonder of your heart.

Self-love is how you express divine purpose and intention. It is how you live unstoppable in your belief of all of love that lives here and waiting for you.

Mantra of Self-Love:

‘All of the places of life that I seek to live and know myself best are also the means by which I live in the inspired consciousness of the divine.’

So much of the healing work that I do with clients is the journey of self-love. It is the sacred practices and rhythms that account for all of the ways in which we find peace within.

We feel loved and supported because of who we are and our dignity and we can call unto ourselves all of the ways in which love becomes the truest expression of our lives one moment and the next.

The love required of you is the love of your pure and powerful grace and dignity. It is the love of all miracles. It is the love that awaits you here and of this moment and to each moment thereafter.

The love of grace and wonder and life is the love of pure positive power and the miracles that you see and know forever.

The dignity of all love lives here with you.

How to Cultivate Your Spiritual Practice

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 103

~ Love as a spiritual practice as a sacred rhythm as a true metaphor for what you are learning and seeking. ~

💜

time stamps: What are Spiritual Practices? 0-1:42 | Podcast Intro 1:43 | How to Cultivate a Spiritual Practice 4:09 | Introducing a 4-Week Series on Self-Love (right here) 9:01 | What is a Spiritual Practice for me? 9:40 | The Juno app 10:54 | Podcast Outro 13:00

What we may look for in a spiritual practice is its ability to cultivate inner peace or love or to cherish the moments of pure awakening in what we experience as what it means to live awake and present.

One of the most beautiful expressions of a spiritual practice is its ability to nurture the divine ~ the experience of being a oneness with something much larger than your physical self.

Here I share three ways in which you may best cultivate a spiritual practice.

Look for my series on Self-Love:

4 weeks, 8 episodes of awe-inspiring content to help you master the sacred practices of self-love and for how you can be love in the world.

Samadhi ~ The Secret of Eternal Bliss

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 102

~ The true secret of eternal bliss is to to practice living as your nonphysical self. ~

💜

timestamps: Podcast Intro to Samadhi 0-2:21 | Podcast Intro 2:20 | The Meaning of Samadhi 3:59 | How to Achieve Samadhi in Daily Life 7:52 | A Mantra to Contemplate a State of Samadhi 12:30 | Podcast Outro 15:03

You can live many, many moments of your life in the experience of samadhi as a practice, as a conscious choice, as a way of being that honours the liberation of true destiny because when you build into your life the practices and the sacred teachings of these ancient scriptures (each of the eight limbs of the yoga sutras), you have a basic philosophy and a guide to experiencing all of life’s wonder and bliss and the emancipated (liberated) moments that bring forward the ever present, ever content nature of your life.

One might wonder if the state of Samadhi is relevant in daily life. Is it possible to achieve states of samadhi and to remain here for some time even amidst the daily life situations we experience? The answer is 'yes.'

Here we discuss the meaning of Samadhi and how to experience this blissful state by choice.

MASTERING MEDITATION

and An Elevated State of Consciousness

'ask dorothy' | A Bliss Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 101

“Allow in the experiences of deep meditation. Let these guide you into your

ethereal being ~ your exquisite and blissful spiritual nature.”

~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

In this bliss meditation we journey together. You can decide how trusting you will be of your ability to release expectations ~ to let go of any negative thoughts or self-doubt and to believe that it is simply in applying the skills and techniques of each limb of the sutras that you will find your way to reveal moments of stillness and the practice of an experience of deep relaxation and presence in this moment and a blissful state of calm.

If you hold these ~ stillness, deep relaxation, presence in this moment and blissful calm ~ as the guiding prompts for your journey all will be revealed. And then each time you sit or lie in a practice of deep meditation it becomes the journey you receive. 🙏

Dhyana ~ Unbroken Concentration

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 100

~ ‘Meditation is the continuous and effortless flow of attentive awareness towards the object of concentration.’ ~ Yoga Sutra 3:2 ~

💜

The first four steps of yoga deal with the purification of body and mind. In the pratyahara stage, the mind becomes completely free from the interference of external objects caused by the senses. After the stage of pratyahara, the mind will be ready to experience the higher state, called Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation).

The larger purpose of achieving Dhyana is to take another step towards Samadhi, or complete identification with the Divine, the Universe, or however you like to imagine something that is larger than yourself.

Strategies for Focus & Concentration ~ Dhāraṇā

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 99

~ Concentration of the Mind ~

💜

timestamps:

'ask dorothy' Podcast Intro ~ 0-2:22 | An Introduction to Dharana ~ 2:23 | To Enter Deep Concentration ~ 4:12 | Concentration on the Spiritual Eye ~ 7:47 | Recite a Mantra ~ 9:55 | Bring Your Desire for Focusing Your Mind Into All That You Do ~ 14:06 | Podcast Outro ~ 15:03

In this experiential episode, I share three of my favourite (and most simple) daily practices of Dharana.

Dharana is the sustained practice of focused concentration on a single object. This focus is usually the breath, but it can also be the repetition of a mantra, the visualization of a deity, or the contemplation of a deep truth.

When we practice Dharana, the mind becomes peaceful and it softens or stills. We strengthen the mind by focusing on one area and practicing control of the mind. The mind is like a muscle we can train, and it's not beyond our control that the thoughts just come and take us away with them. We are in control, and Dharana is one way we can practice this control.

Dharana ~ Calm Focusing of the Mind

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 98

~ Concentration is the binding of the mind’s attention (focused awareness) to one particular point (to the exclusion of everything else). ~ Yoga Sutra 3:1 ~

💜

If you’ve been joining me in this series on the Yoga Sutras ~ the eight-fold path of classic yoga, we are in this episode here at the sixth limb ~ Dharana.

Classical Yoga is a system of spiritual Knowledge coming from the scriptures (the Vedas), and handed down by a lineage of teachers.

Calmly focusing the full attention of the mind and consciousness on one point to the exclusion of everything else = this is dharana (concentration).

Dharana comes from the word dhri ‘to hold firm’.

This is not generalized attention where the mind is still engaged in thought-processes but to the yoga technique of ‘one-pointed’ (ekagrata) concentration: a continuous flow of consciousness inwards either on an internal object (antara-visaya), or an externalized object (bahya-visaya).

Here I share the four ways to Achieve Dharana ~ in daily life + have a listen to any of the previous episodes in this series to build the spiritual practices and the teachings of living enlightened.

Pratyahara ~ Mastery of the Senses

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 96

~ You can always go inward for your answers, your wisdom, your truth. ~

💜

In pratyahara the attention is directed inwards. It is to practice engaging in the world within.

Through the practice of asana and pranayama one turns the mind’s attention within, being totally aware of where the impulse to breathe in and breathe out arises.

Total attention and awareness of that is itself pratyahara, or drawing one’s attention into and within oneself.

One of my favourites and perhaps considered the most important – pratyahara is the veil between the first four limbs which rein mind and body and the final three limbs –dharana, dhyana, and samadhi, are the universal or natural states of yoga, and represent the inner journey.

Pratyahara is the withdrawing of the senses, mind, and consciousness from contact with external objects, and then drawing them inward towards the soul.

Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words. Prana means a subtle life-force / energy source (which gives energy to ) of the mind and body, and yama which signifies the voluntary effort to control and direct prana.

You can practice pranayama techniques like this breath visualization for vitality, boosting energy and stamina, for reducing your need for sleep, for relieving tension in your body and enhancing your ability to deal with pressure and stress ~ to boost your immunity and engage the body's natural healing processes.

Pranayama ~ Vital Energy of the Universe

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 94

~ Knowing that each breath affords you life force, would that change or alter the significance you give to breathing? ~

💜

The practice of pranayama is a process by which prana is controlled by regulating the breathing voluntarily. It involves a temporary pause or interval in the movement of breath.

Having established a firm, steady posture, one then regulates the life-force (prana) by natural voluntary suspension of the breath after inhalation and exhalation – this is pranayama. ~ yoga sutras 2:49

Pranayama aids contemplation and removes distraction from the mind so that it becomes easy to concentrate and meditate.

Here join me as we practice Savitri Pranayama together.

Savitri Pranayama: is a rhythmic harmonizing breath using a four-part breath ratio. The inhalation and exhalation are the same and the internal and external breath retention are half that of the inhalation and exhalation.

'ask dorothy' | A Yogic Bliss Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 93

“In the grace of all of life, oneness is the experience of now in the pure presence of stillness.” ~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

timestamps: Bliss Meditations and an Introduction to this practice of Asana ~ 0-2:56 | Meditation begins ~ 2:57 | Podcast Outro begins... ~ 23:45 |

This is also a low guidance which means that you will have space and silence between my directives in which to simply explore and experience and to allow it what impressions and ideas arise.

This bliss meditation is to inspire and encourage what is revealed to you in and of the experience of stillness. The practice of asana is to help you deepen your presence to the oneness that exists in the perfection of now.

Bliss meditations are my signature meditative experiences to help you feel and know a connection with divine oneness. If you have been yearning to know the divine, if you are seeking the path of true liberation from the mind’s internal dialogue, this bliss meditation is to help you awaken in the present space and time of now and in the stillness that transcends the physical world – and offering you love and patience to all that is of pure positive energy of your highest self.

This practice is of the yogic teaching of the sutras and asana the seat of meditation or posture here as you cultivate awareness to the perfection of stillness moment by moment ~ in body and mind.

Enjoy this!

Sending you great 💜 love...Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Asana ~ The Seat of Stillness

~ exploring the third yoga sutra ~

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 92

“Be still and find your infinity.”

💜

Patanjali’s description of asana does not refer to any particular yoga postures rather the ability to hold the body motionlessly still in preparation for and sitting in long periods in, deep meditation.

If the body is restless, then the mind will also become restless. Therefore, in order to ensure that the mind becomes still and quiet, the body needs to be trained, to make it steady with ease and comfort.

‘Posture is mastered by freeing the body and mind from tension and restlessness and meditating on the infinite.' When posture is mastered one is undisturbed by the pairs of opposites (dualities).

Here I guide us in a practice of Asana with stillness for 5 minutes.

As we do so, allow your breath to be the only subtle movement that is naturally occurring with the rise and fall of the chest. This is how you prepare for the higher spiritual practices of concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana) and bliss (samadhi).

Q: Where in your life can you cultivate stillness (or more stillness)?

Q: Do you ever feel the urge to be still? Do you listen to this?

Q: What are you discovering/learning through intentional stillness?

In this episode I reference and take direct quotes from 'The Yoga Book' by Steven Sturgess.

~ Surrender to Your Higher Self~

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 91

"Hold faith in your highest self ~ the true wisdom of goodness and of godliness that lives within you."

~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

The true wisdom of goodness and of godliness lives within us.

When we believe that our power lies beyond us we can feel hopeless and detached.

When we dismiss our true power - relinquishing it to another person or an external deity or god we are left powerless.

The notion of surrender is to feel a deepening of trust and faith in yourself ~ in your 'god source' ~ rather than in something outside of you.

Surrender in it’s truest form is to hold faith in one’s highest self.

Surrendering is freeing yourself of your ego condition and the suffering that this condition causes ~ (e.g. anxiety, sadness, confusion, loss of judgment, condemnation, victimhood.

True surrender is to let go of the ego – to live from the heart ~ and to make your decisions from this place of goodness & faith.

Trust in the value of honour and dignity to lead all of your decisions along a path of truth.

When you look within, when you make this inner dwelling focus a practice and a guiding force of how you choose to live your life, the undeniable acts of love and kindness and compassion that are the true sources of ultimate freedom ~ will light your way to wisdom.

Trust in your inner wisdom and you will realize the power you hold.

~ infinite surrender ~

Engage Fully With Life ~ Live Unstoppable

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 90

“ What do you give your pranidhana (your surrender) to? ”

💜

Ishvara pranidhanais the practice of fully surrendering the self to God, Life Force, to the divine – to the infinitely intelligent consciousness of the universe – to source energy – to whatever chosen word or groupings of words you use to describe the most infinite good ~ and then to know that this eternal good lives in you. It is what you are.

All of the practices of the Niyamas lead us here ~ into the knowledge that we surrender and trust in our infinite nature because we are the god source ~ we are pureness and love. We simply need to choose this ~ and to choose to live as this.

Surrender to a oneness ~ an infinite consciousness ~ as the surrender of devotion to living as your highest self.

'ask dorothy' | A Bliss Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 89

~ “To know the self is to know love.” ~

dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

timestamps: Podcast Intro ~ 0-2:22 | Bliss Meditations and an Introduction to this Meditation ~ 2:23 | Meditation begins ~ 5:19 | Closing words and Podcast Outro begins... ~ 30:40 |

This is also a low guidance which means that you will have space and silence between my directives in which to simply explore and experience and to allow it what impressions and ideas arise.

In this bliss meditation, I invite you to hold the impressions that you receive immediately and instinctively as the idea and intention is for you to connect with the highest source of wisdom that you hold within yourself ~ your highest self ~ your soul consciousness.

Bliss meditations are my signature 'feel the love, hold abundance, seek comfort and safety and presence and manifest all possibilities.' They are an exquisite experience of the divine and all sacred moments of the present.

It is best if you note the initial impressions that come to you from your spiritual self and hold these in your mind and heart, anchoring them to your knowledge and growing wisdom so that you may return to these often and as you meditate again with the image(s) that you receive here.

To know the self is beyond knowing the physical. We can almost never know every physical aspect that is occurring in synchronous harmony. We can know the purest aspects of what we are and then to deliberately hold our gratitude towards this.

I will also encourage you to make some notes after the meditation. To record what you see, feel, sense.

Enjoy this!

Sending you great 💜 love...Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Game Changing Practices for Self-Discovery + Svadhyaya (Self-Study)

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 88

“Each moment becomes a freeing experience in which you appreciate something new.”

💜

Self-study and self-discovery can only truly exist in an environment in which you are wholly honest with yourself and in your life because without this you would not be willing to look at and see what aspects need your attention ~ your love ~ your care.

In this episode we explore the spiritual teachings of Svadhyaya and four game changing practices for living a life of self-discovery and self-study.

Your homework questions from this episode:

Can you live more moments in the purity of self-study and self-discover using the tools of self-honesty and willingness to see what you findings

spiritual discipline as a daily practice

~ towards personal fulfillment ~

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 87

~ What are your spiritual practices? ~

💜

A topic dear to my heart. The idea of developing and living daily spiritual practices or disciplines is how we deepen our commitment to live of our highest self and of our light.

This episode has been inspired by a recent live session. You can find and join me in future 'live' sessions. I would love that.

Spiritual discipline is the embodiment of grace and the resolve to live in loving-kindness in words, thoughts, and in actions ~ in who you are and what you stand for.

A spiritual practice or discipline is a product of a synergy between divine and human initiative.

It is the regular actions and activities for the purpose of inducing or creating spiritual experiences and cultivating spiritual development.

This episode is therefore really meant to offer inspiration to you, to encourage you to follow a path that inspires you because inspiration is the flow of pure consciousness that you invite in ~ that you relish ~ that truly affects and transforms ~ that initiates the desire to witness the sacred, the spiritual the world beyond what you would typically see and touch and notice because this is how we come to know the perfection of life that we can live in each moment and wherever we are.

One question towards beginning or elevating your current spiritual life is this: Ask yourself...

What are the spiritual practices (or disciplines) that cultivate love, presence and equanimity for you?

Your answers will lead you to the joy and the abundance is waiting for you.

Invite this in. This is how we live fulfilled in our daily life.

And if you would like my help in creating or creating more spiritual practices and disciplines to love and live please reach out to me. 💜

Self-Discipline as Self-Mastery

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 86

“ Self-Discipline IS Self-Mastery. Being disciplined is how we get things done. ”

💜

Do any of your desires require greater discipline, self-control, or the fierce passion and unrelenting belief in what is wanted?

We need to remember ~ to remind ourselves that self-discipline is also a guiding approach to everything.

It is holding belief in our ability to manifest ~ to obtain or achieve something that we do not yet see or taste or touch in our material world and it is also the energy we bring to everything that determines our role in what we do and what we live.

If you are at the edge of a precipice in your life – if something is wanted and perhaps you’ve been struggling with this, whether a goal or a new habit or a different way of thinking and being and if you haven’t yet been able to get there, let’s walk through some of the ways that you can approach your desires with the inner fire of discipline.

And I’m also going to share one simple and powerful way that will help you get started ~ now.

But first....a few more questions to help you contemplate what is wanted in a very clear way.

What can you draw from that allows you to feel impassioned with life and with the aspects of your life that you wish to focus upon?

Where can you hold fierce discipline and simultaneously the benevolence (a devotion to do good and to be loving kindness) of living with your heart open to give and receive?

~ Tapas are spiritual practices that often involve a high degree of self-discipline, solitude and periods of deep meditation. ~

Because discipline works best if you are kind and patient yet firm and loving with yourself throughout the process.

What becomes for you a new and refined practice of discipline may be best practised as a spiritual discipline ~ as something that is acquired out of love and servitude to yourself for a higher goal or purpose that is beyond you ~ that is bigger than you...

and the way in which you can approach all of life then becomes a practice of grace.

Love Your Life NOW

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 84

"You must and you can love your life as it is, even as you seek more."

~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

To fall in love with your life also suggests that you are constantly making choices that are aligned with what you truly want ~ and what is wanted.

The secret to enjoying your life ~ to loving your life ~ is enjoying and appreciating the present moments of what your life is now and in the absence of critical or judgmental thoughts.

In appreciating yourself more and as you enjoy more of all of who you are ~ you learn to love who you currently are. This is how you provide the fertile ground to continue your ever expanding desires for more.

Realize that you are constantly choosing your life. Nowhere is that more important than as you seek to live in the perfection of who you are.

Falling in love with your life means that you also appreciate and value yourself even more.

How can you fall in love with your life as it is now?

Sending you great 💜 love...Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Perfection As What You Are . . .

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 83

“ Perfection is not something I attain. It is what I remember. It is what I am already."

~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

My 'ask dorothy' episodes are an opportunity to answer your questions, to share client stories and the wisdom that enlightens our work together.

It's also a place for me to offer insight and guidance for your journey through life.

In this episode of 'ask dorothy' I share a WISDOM Note.

It's to help you consider the way in which you currently think about the idea of perfection and to embrace the teaching that we are all perfect as spiritual beings.

The more we live aligned with this wisdom, the more we realize our goodness and our greatness lives in the purity of what we are.

As physical beings, we can live our perfection as our infinite abundance, as love, as kindness, as generosity and compassion ~ and seeking to find the best and right solutions as comfort in knowing ourselves best and following a path that we feel inspired to live ~ all towards the appreciation of life that we hold.

I hope that in listening, you begin to see and know just how perfect life is as it is ~ even if we do not at first glance think so. The nature of perfection is that we trust in it first and then it reveals itself so beautifully.

Enjoy.

The PURITY of NOW

Live in the Purity of Each Moment

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 82

~ Make the ordinary ~ sacred. ~

💜

You have only the present moment. Sometimes we forget how precious the moments of our life can be. We forget that to live in the certainty of the present is to live in the faith of co-creation.

Everything that we experience can be placed in the realm of the divine ~ our grace and passion for life is what drives the endless flow of abundance that we witness ~ that we receive.

Use this mantra to remember the purity of what you live:

‘All of the present is my fervent (impassioned) wonder. I witness before me the grace of life. I live this grace as beauty, as joy, as gratitude, as abundance, and as love ~ for as long as I continue to acknowledge the purity of all things before me.’

What about a deep dive into the pureness of the present moment?

In this episode we explore the sacred teaching of the first of five niyamas – saucha which translates from Sanskrit as ~purity~

There are eight limbs or paths that comprise the yoga sutras. Niyamas are the second limb and consist of five observances ~ observances or proclamations as ideals for how to live one’s life.

These are akin to living the possibility of something more ~ of better ~ of an ideal ~ ‘a best practice.’

Each of the Niyamas point us in a direction of something better; something more and they are also invaluable as spiritual teachings for living an auspicious and beautiful life. Certainly, you do not have to be on a spiritual quest to appreciate and embody what these teachings bring to your life.

I have here in the description links to recent episodes on the spiritual teaching of saucha.

These make for inspiring listens as you recognize just how much beauty and love is available to you in all moments without you needing anything more than your present moment attention to this.

  • Your Homework Question(s) 💜

How do you feel the privilege of purity? (of living in the purity of life?)

How do you allow yourself to live in the presence and the wonder of each moment?

Sending you great 💜 love...Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' | A Bliss Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 81

“ The love you seek is your own. It is the true source of empowerment to live as love choice."

~ dorothy zennuriye juno

💜

  • Bliss meditations are spiritual practices designed to guide you into a state of beautiful awareness of love and of transformation ~ that you may experience yourself as a being of energy and a being of love *

In my episodes of 'ask dorothy' the premise is simple.

The Question: How can I experience all of the peace and wonder that I am?

There is a certain feeling of love that has the power to transform lives, to enrich each moment, to fill us full with excitement, to navigate a path of certainty and love that supports all that we do.

When you begin each day in a conscious state of love, and as you choose the actions of loving kindness, you transform the ordinary, you focus on the possibilities rather than the problems of life because you recognize that your path in love is peace.

To walk in peace is to begin the journey of love ~ to hold presence in this moment ~ to feel yourself open to the love that you are and then to step forward into this space and time as your wonder and light.

I think about how important it is to approach the day from a state of love and positivism and kindness and this one way to feel uplifted and of light which then allows you to easily experience all of the beauty of life before you.

In this meditation, you will have ample time to sit in the quiet and stillness of now.

As your guide, I will give you the right instructions for calling to light the beautiful messages of your heart here and in store for you.

Freedom of the Mind

How to Detach From Your Thoughts

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 80

~ How can you live free of your thoughts?

Can you instead clearly express the voice and wisdom of your heart? ~

💜

How can we enjoy life to the fullest in each sacred moment – to have freedom of mind that is inspired from our consistent ability to choose our thoughts or to choose the absence of thinking?

In this episode I share three of the very best practices to enjoy the freedom of the present moment, to liberate yourself from the thoughts that cause you to suffer, and to find your joy. Join me!

Resources to Free Your Mind + Episode Highlights:

To hold inspiring thoughts (for example) is to say:

1) How can I be kind and gentle and loving to myself?

and

2) How can I hold a mantra that easily fires up the inspiration that I need to do what I want or need or desire?

Why You Need Self-Love | 'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 79

~ Remind yourself... 'Am I deciding to be love?' ~

💜

Self-love as a daily practice becomes an artful discipline ~ a way of life ~ that you cherish. It is how you are able to be self-sustaining ~ through self-nurturing behaviours that grow your self-esteem and self-worth and reinforce your innate gifts and talents as you pursue all of your highest goals.

A return to self-love is how you feel whole and complete in each moment regardless of whether you are dealing with uncertainty, conflict, hurt or any challenging experience.

Self-love nourishes and reminds you of the power you hold in self-acceptance ~ to know that you are perfect as you are and as you continue to expend and seek more.

To truly love yourself is to be forgiving, generous and kind. To love yourself is to also parent yourself so that you practice self-discipline and live of the highest honour because this is how you grow esteem and worth.

Love is graceful and kind. Love embraces the humour in life’s moments and the ways in which you receive your answers and all that you need. Love honours the teachings that become important life lessons that you seek and create as the beautiful paths before you.

Cultivating Self-Awareness ~ A Spiritual Practice

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 78

“Approach each day and action with a sense of sacredness. Heed the present moment.”

💜

Self-Awareness is the sacred attention you give to yourself in light of all that you are and all that you continue to seek. ~ dorothy zennuriye juno

Now let’s take self-awareness a step beyond...

Sometimes we forget that we are the most ever present source of our own knowledge.

For all that you continue to seek ~ for all that is in the path of your awakened state ~ for all that you bring here and into the present moment, you life becomes the sojourn of your expression.

To cultivate self-awareness is to be present in the moments of your life as they unfold ~ as they hold you near ~ as they reveal the truth ~ the truth that sometimes you are quick to disprove or diminish ~ its possibilities not yet clear.

Instead, the practice is to be willing to look ~ to see ~ to know that what is there ~ what is waiting, what is yours to uncover is ultimately for your benefit ~ your understanding, your free will choice whether to the energy of change you create around this or to let it be as it is.

Seek to know thyself. Know what is yours and what has never been a part of you.

This is the path of wholeness. This is the path to living awake and aware and of discovering the world and your life from a place of true miracles, true messages of goodness, of hope, of dedication, of love that is for you the blessings of life that you live now.

This is a highly interactive episode! – That is, I’ll be asking questions as we go along – to help you to see the ways in which you can live that will nourish and fulfill you beyond what you have known.

I encourage you to have a place where you can make some notes, to write your answers – even to pause the audio where it feels important to ponder my questions. This will be how you get so much more value and guidance from all that is here.

I also have a list of the questions I ask in the description. These are wonderful to use as journal prompts in which to dive deeper ~ to know the value of all that you do to live fulfilled and whole.

What is inner fulfillment? Inner fulfillment is the experience of wholeness of your true self.

It is the myriad of ways in which we find and feel the source of peace and tranquility and love that is our true nature.

Inner fulfillment is made simple. It is for us to remember the beautiful expressions of life that give us desire, abundance and the perfection of the present to enjoy what life’s precious moments have in store for us.

Yet do we base our moment by moment choices and the greater decisions of our life on much of what lives and breaths outside of us? What we are influenced by in the world around us?

On most occasions, our decisions are driven by what fulfills us.

And yet, can you feel fulfilled because of who you are?

Who you are is how you show up in each moment again and again and again. This gives you infinite opportunities to feel fulfillment that is built upon what is sustainable and lasting – you.

Questions for Your Journey of Inner Fulfillment...

  1. What fulfills you?

  2. How do you live a fulfilling life? Why is this important?

  3. Why is inner fulfillment an important value and ideal that when we are deeply conscious of, adds a depth of meaning and purpose to everything we do ~ so that nothing is irrelevant, nothing is ordinary, nothing is unimportant?

The Definition of Fulfillment: to develop the full potentialities, to feel full, to be satisfied

  1. In the spiritual definition of inner fulfillment, “What are the ways that you can live in the unconditional love and wisdom that resides within you?”

  2. What does it mean to live fulfilled? ....in all that you do and all that you are?

  3. What are three actions and habits that you do each day that fulfill and nourish you? What is it about who you are and how you live life that allows you to feel complete, whole, content, happy ~ fulfilled?

  4. How do your choices/actions/beliefs/thoughts fulfill you?

  5. You can ask yourself, what do I love to do most? This is both rewarding and fulfilling for you and it is also a part of what you have to offer the world ~ your contribution ~ your greatness.

  6. How do you experience wholeness?

  7. What makes it possible to feel whole?

  8. What does wholeness feel like?

  9. Can wholeness begin with the knowledge that you ....are complete as you are. You have everything that you need to be and live of pure goodness, kindness and love (living of your highest integrity), as this is what will always feel best.

  10. What can you be aware of that opens your eyes and your heart to the practice of self-fulfillment?

“All of the perfect grace of eternity lives in the beauty of your life in the power of what you know as truth – in the grace and comfort in all things. ~ All moments you seek are the moments of wholeness that live within you ~ that live within each one of us.”

More Love ~ More Inspiration for Your Personal Fulfillment 👌✨💜

I Seek To Know And Become...

The WISDOM podcast Seaso 3 Episode 75

~ The Importance of Living True To Yourself is One of the Greatest Secrets of Life Itself. ~

💜

There are many ways in which we seek to know truth ~ to find it ~ to be it.

Truth is the impassioned ability you hold to acknowledge ‘what is’ ~ (e.g. what is factual).

In this episode (inspired by a recent ‘live’ session), I highlight one of the most valuable practices for knowing your truth ~ for exercising the connection you hold with the source within ~ in which truth lives ~ and to this direct communication with your highest or ‘spiritual’ self.

Sending you great love...

'ask dorothy' | A Bliss Meditation

~ Your natural state of peace is love. When you live by this, it becomes a habit to practice a peace-filled life. ~

💜

Bliss Meditations are a collective of inspired teachings that bring you into the transcendent space and time of your heart's wisdom.

It's best to hold your mind open and to focus ~ in this case ~ on my words and in the impressions and ideas that surface, based upon how you interpret, visualize and sense what I describe.

In this meditation, the directive is to experience peace ~ peace as a conscious choice, peace as heartfelt presence and a state of peacefulness that embodies light and ease and serenity.

The POWER of YOUR PEACEFUL EXISTENCE

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 73

~ You hold the path of light within you as you walk in peace. Peace begins within you. ~

💜

What makes for a peaceful existence? In moments when you feel peace, what is happening?

Are you alone? Are you in nature? Are you happy? Are you grateful?

Can we all live a peaceful life amidst the turmoil and chaos in the world?

Can you live a peaceful life by choice?

Can you be peaceful when others are not this?

If you’re joining me, perhaps you are looking for a means by which you can live far more peaceful in the moments of your own life.

You can find serenity and peace with your own thoughts and in how you respond and react to others ~ and with yourself ~ that hold for you the sacred ground of pure consciousness ~ and in the free will choice to live peaceful.

Peace begins with a conscious choice and a deliberate (sacred) intention*.

I spoke of sacred intentions in a recent podcast episode as the divinely inspired sacred ground of what you are inspired and committed to ~ and I circle back to their importance here again because one of your sacred intentions may be to live peaceful in your words and actions and in who you are becoming.

You hold the path of light within you as you walk in peace. To be peaceful by choice and especially when another is not willing nor able to do the same is the ultimate entry into living remarkably.

You can begin this quest together with me ...and with three questions. Join me as we answer these together!

Sending you great love...

YOUR MANIFESTING 'MOJO'

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 72

~ Live your life as if everything is here already and right before you. ~

💜

The episode is all about love...

It’s about what you need to experience with your heart ~ what is most wanted and what is already in store for you.

Any desire of the mind must activate your heart centre. If you truly want to hone the magic of manifesting ~ as mysterious as it is spiritual ~ you need to hold the grace of what is wanted in your heart.

Let it be here from your heart wisdom that you generate the ideas and inspiration that will easily celebrate all that you hold the potential to be and live.

This is an experiential episode of 'ask dorothy' in which I pose the question to you... Your answers become the inspiration for what you will seek and live most deliberately.

The questions I ask in this episode:

You may wish to place one or both hands onto your heart centre as you connect inward ~ to your true source of power and wisdom.

What is next?

What is most important to me, for me?

What is my heart’s true desires?

What is my heart’s ultimate desires?

What is the next step of my journey?

What else?? 😁

I encourage you to write these questions 📝 and to ask these of yourself again ~ especially if you intend to continue to manifest all that you desire... as an ever-evolving outpouring of your heart's desires. 💜

Sacred Intentions

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 71

~ Sacred intentions are held with the heart’s desire. They become the guiding forces for what makes you remarkable. ~

💜📝

What are sacred intentions? What is their significance?

Sacred intentions are the means by which you choose with love all that you desire.

All that you are choosing to manifest and with great love ~ for love and conviction are the sacred path that fuels desire ~ and that lives in the boundless grace of ideals that are present ~ that are remarkable that are sustainable as the love you seek.

Open your eyes and your heart to the sacred intentions that you live.

What are your sacred intentions?

What are the inspired ways that you are choosing to live that is remarkable?

What are the choices that you make that uphold the goals and dreams that you have set forth as important and meaningful?

What is the path of your heart leading you towards?

It’s about holding yourself accountable to a next level of showing up for yourself and in your life that reveals your greatness.

What are the sacred intentions that become the success habits and behaviours that generously support you for the rest of your life?

What can you live that inspires you to be love in all moments ~ to live honourable ~ to be powerful in confidence and kindness ~ to be certain of the choices that govern every action, every decision because it is your intentions that carry forward the successes you seek and that determine all that you become.

And then, in the pure nature of life all of what you seek becomes the life you live moment by moment.

As you step forward into a new day, a new year ~ for whatever part of your journey you are listening...and as you harness the energy of desire and love for all things wanted. Build your list of sacred intentions.

Make these a part of your daily life.

Decide what is most important to you and why. If not for these then what will you seek and know and love?

You can chose one, or more than one for this moment. Connect within to your heart. Let your heart’s whisper become the perfection of what you seek.

If you would like to work together to carve out your sacred intentions, please reach out and let me help. I wish for you a beautiful week of introspection and cultivating sacred intentions to live now and to live for the rest of your life.

Sending you great love...

To Live Remarkable

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 70

“To live remarkable is to live beyond measure.”

💜

To live remarkable is to experience the beauty of each moment ~ to live wide open to each moment of life as it opens you to discover, to learn, to wonder, to appreciate, to love, to feel compassion for, and to unite in.

‘Remarkable’ is not determined by your list of accomplishments. Each one of us will live remarkable in demonstrative ways that holds us present to our senses – to the experiences of life in front of us and to all of the ways that we feel deeply.

If you are listening because there is a part of your life and how you live it that you want more from, if you want to live more remarkably; if there is more that you can do for yourself that allows you to live purposefully and with a depth of meaning that you bring to everything you do...

if you can be witness to your life in the ways that it is already remarkable ~ to see the extraordinary ~ the wonderful ~ the amazing ~ that is already here and before you and as it continues to unfold, you will have the understanding, the guidance, the recognition of what is possible ~ what more you will become ~ what more you will seek and live and how you will enjoy more completely all of the moments that are now the sacred catalyst for all that you seek...

and as you choose to exist in the pure nature of who you are as love ~ as you witness yourself as remarkable now, you live spiritually abundant, grateful and as heaven on earth ~ here and now. 💜

Come aboard..... your life is awaiting you. Your life as remarkable.... 😉

DHARANA ~ Focus The Mind With The Heart

The Sixth Limb of The Yoga Sutras

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 69

~ “Focus your mind where your heart lives far more of the time.” ~

💜

Dharana, a Sanskrit word meaning concentration is the sixth limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system—also called the eight-limbed path. The goal of dharana is to bind your consciousness to one particular object, activity, place, or idea.

As we explore further the sixth limb of the yoga sutras – and how specifically to apply the teachings of dharana, in this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I would like to offer something quite extraordinary ~ to practice dharana engaging your heart wisdom.

What if you practised the one-pointed focus of dharana of complete and deliberate concentration as you align both your heart and mind toward any of your heart’s desires ~ and to all things ~ that are most wanted?

We do this quite naturally as a function of our heart’s outpouring of desire.

If there is something important that you want that you want, you hold focus and place your attention on your desire and you also engage the physical steps needed to attain this.

Now what if you cultivated the magic and the discipline of one-pointed focus, allowing the heart’s wisdom to guide and influence what you want to manifest.

Let your mind engage with your heart’s true desire. This is how to focus the mind on only what is wanted.

Sending you great 💜 love...Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

The 'Gift' of Love

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 68

~ What do you need of yourself to gift love? ~

💜

This episode highlights my weekly WISDOM Notes ~ offerings of inspiration, guidance and love for the week ahead and for the rest of your life. Here the focus is the how you 'gift' yourself the gift of love that fills your heart and your entire being ~ and inspires you to be loving to all beings.

What do you need to 'gift' love?

Is it patience? ...endless forgiveness?

Is it to uphold clear boundaries and to love someone from a distance?

Is your gift of love transferrable?

Is it going to be in the language that another will understand easily?

Do you need self-care to 'gift' love?

Do you need to feel peace, wholeness, generosity, connection... or the confidence in knowing that your gift of love will be more than enough?

As the true embodiment of the human spirit, it is not only at the holidays or on the commercially-driven customary gift giving 'holidates' throughout the year that we may be inspired to bring love...

True gift giving is the ability to generate love as a currency that effortlessly flows from you to each and every person that you meet ~ that you speak with ~ that you email and text.

Love is the energy ~ the solution that you fill each and every thought and word with. It then becomes incredibly easy and transparent to see.

Love is its own currency. It is the energy we hold to be honourable, kind, generous, forgiving, and trustworthy. It is a simple outpouring of who we are. 💜

:: For the Week Ahead :: Gift yourself the gift of love.

Practice this as what you have decided to be ~ to live and then gift love to every living being because whilst love is free, it is priceless and generous beyond imagine. ~ namaste ~

Need a little inspiration for being love and 'gifting' self-love? Work with me!

DHARANA ~ Concentration

The Sixth Limb of The Yoga Sutras

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 67

~ See without the senses distracting or pulling the mind, ~

💜

Dharana is the practice of choosing what you focus your attention upon rather than being led by the constant thinking of thoughts that you feel helpless to control. Indeed controlling your thoughts is about choosing where you place your focus including what thoughts you will hold in place of the thoughts that are not helpful.

Dharana as concentration becomes a state of being that allows you to let go of restless or anxious thoughts, or the need to solve problems or to worry about something that is on your ‘to do list’ for today, for the practice is in holding focus in what you are choosing now.

Dharana applies to everything in your life. It’s sacred practice is about filling the mind with one single activity or focus for the time that you have chosen to do this.

Join me for this beautiful exploration of the sixth limb of the Yoga Sutras ~ DHARANA.

Sending you great 💜 love...Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

PRATYAHARA ~ Freedom of the Senses ~

The Fifth Limb of The Yoga Sutras

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 66

~ Hold awareness in the absence of thought ~

💜

To be in the presence of each moment is to be wilfully attentive. To act upon your life with discerning choice is to hold wisdom and the skill of pratyahara. To be free is to hold freedom from the senses.In the fifth stage (limb) of the yoga sutras ~ pratyahara, the seeker of a spiritual practice or way of life (sādhaka) goes through a search of self-examination. Pratyahara is truly the ability to act upon life with discerning choice.In some ancient texts, the thinking on pratyahara is to overcome the spell of sensual objects ~ to choose good over pleasure. Yet it is even more than this.

If you allow yourself to be bound by objects of a material nature ~ of thoughts and beliefs that govern, that constrain, that evoke states of sadness, disillusionment and suffering, you are allowing your senses to rule and to overtake the wisdom that you have access to ~ thatmay guide your heart in blissful action.

The wisdom and clear knowing of your heart that is always in communication with you ~ is often a quieter and peace-filled voice.Pratyahara ~ as a practice becomes a pivotal answer to lead us. Pratyahara is a sanskrit word that is translated as: taking away the engagement of our senses with the outside world.Simply, it is the skill we hold for redirecting the focus of the mind within and to our genuine needs which can be fulfilled ease fully.

How does one do this? How do we quiet the mind?How do we recognize better when we have become fixated on the external world ~ looking for gratification, validation and something that you go in search of that is beyond you ~ rather than of you.How do we become better at living out of the pureness of the present moment? Can we live in a state of pure awareness far more of the time?These are the additional questions that I pose for us here in this episode of ‘ask dorothy’. I hope will inspire you as you listen on.

Sending you great 💜 love...Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Love is kindness.

Love is the grace that others bring into your life.

How to Release Anger

  • Guided Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Bonus Episode 2

~ You release anger when you find peace ~ peace that lives within you." ~

💜

'This is a meditative experience within the spiritual teachings of self-integrity, self-love, of peace and tranquility ~ of guiding yourself into the present moment and to your heart and to the sacred presence of what miracles live here.'

Anger itself is a natural emotion to the perception that we are being treated unfair or unkind, we can at times find ourselves helpless to the overwhelming feelings of anger that overtake our rational mind. Anger misdirected and uncontrolled is destructive.

Anger rises up when you perceive you are being treated unfair and unjust. When another is unkind, disrespectful and deliberately hurtful.

Anger focuses your attention onto the injustice and damage that you are witness to. As you continue to dwell in its presence, you perpetuate all of its symptoms: annoyance, irritability, frustration and rage. This is how anger becomes debilitating.

Anger is built upon the experience of hurt. It can be a defence you hold as you perceive others treating you unfairly and unkind. It can be your justifiable reaction to trauma and abuse, and to any words and actions that deny you the privileges you deserve.

Anger itself is a cue (a reminder) to re-examine a situation from a higher perspective ~ one that does not immediately cast blame and to observe your intuition if it incites that another may be unfair in their treatment of you.

There is much that you will benefit from when anger is not your first response.

The meditative practice that I guide you through here is a practice that I use. It is one that I teach. It works beautifully ~ as you hold yourself accountable to releasing anger by choice.

Anger is not meant to be an emotion that you live in. The intentions that you hold for releasing anger are most important.

Let your anger be a cue to look within ~ for honesty and understanding and for you to change the scope of what you think and how you react to all of the situations in which you hold the power to choose what is right and best for you.

The rest of what you wait for is your own. It is the peace and tranquility of your heart returning to love and to this perfect state as love and conviction. Anger is not yours to hold.

Namaste! 💜

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Set Yourself Free

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Bonus Episode 1

~This is a message of healing and personal choice. ~

💜

Maybe it is one of the hardest decisions - to let go of another person and a relationship that you have had all of your life.

Maybe you have deliberated this for some time, and questioned yourself about your decision to step free.

This episode follows some of the earlier content of Season Three on the topic of abuse, of trauma, and of the ways in which we can heal ourselves.

I wrote this episode as a message of healing and to offer you permission to step away; to set yourself free from those who continue to be hurtful and who have repeatedly shown you that they are not ready nor willing to change.

Whether the pattern of abuse and trauma has occurred in your family of origin, or if it has existed in a workplace environment ~ and if you have felt trapped and unable to break free, let this episode offer you both the permission and the viable means in which to free yourself ~ to stand strong on your own ground of what you know is right and best for you.

Remember that you need to choose this because others have chosen to continue in their abusive and harmful words and actions.

There is no blame, only acceptance and permission ~ to live in peace.

I hope that my words here will help you ~ empower you ~ liberate you to live free.

Namaste! 💜

PRATYAHARA ~ Awareness of the Senses ~

The Fifth Limb of The Yoga Sutras

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 65

~ See without the senses distracting or pulling the mind, ~

💜

*Pratyahara is the fifth limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system—also called the eight-limbed path of the yoga sutras—and it serves as a foundation for the practice of meditation.

Through meditation, you can better understand how to hone your awareness, connect to the present moment, and find inner peace or calm.

In the practice of pratyahara you draw your mind inward ~ you release the urge to immediately react to incoming sensation. You approach stilling the mind by shifting the act of sensing from an external to an internal orientation.

Through the practice of pratyahara, you develop concentrative powers that could be called supra ~ above sensory because the act of seeing or feeling becomes heightened to a tremendous degree. It is as though you have new eyes and ears, new senses. You perceive colour more vividly and enjoy your food more, and as you truly wake your senses, you awaken to and value the inner psychological and spiritual dimensions that are the substance and source of what you feel, see, taste, smell and hear.

Your attention in the practice of pratyahara is directed inwards, being totally aware of where the impulse to breathe in and breathe out arises. The total awareness of this itself is pratyahara – or drawing one’s attention into and within oneself.

I liken this to what I call a state of bliss. And yes it is a state of being that you can live in as you practice pratyahara ad as you seek to live this state more of the time – especially during the practice of meditation, mindfulness, inner contemplation, presence in this moment.

Join me for this beautiful exploration of the fourth limb of the Yoga Sutras ~ PRATYAHARA.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Waiting to Exhale ~ PRANAYAMA

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 64

~ Pranayama breathing guides us into the ease of pure existence. ~

💜

Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? Perhaps in anticipation, in anxiety, in the realization that something is not going as you had hoped?

Maybe your hold your breath when you think about what magic lives in store for you and your future - like when you daydream and wish and manifest your heartfelt desires?

Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words. Prana means a subtle life-force / ‘vital energy’ / ‘breath of life’ which gives energy to the mind and body (it is also translated as the substance of the astral world) and ayama which signifies the voluntary effort to expand, lengthen and direct life-force or prana.

Pranayama, therefore, means “extension of life force.”

Waiting to exhale is the other side of waiting to enjoy life’s precious moments because you are focused in the end goal rather than the entire journey and what more you seek and learn from the total sum of your experiences.

The lessons are the magic. They are the ways in which life avails to us the importance of our path ~ of the miracles that continue ceaselessly all around us and in all moments and with our conviction.

What are you waiting for?

What are you wishing to change or have or be that seems far reaching and yet perfect for you to discover and experience now? The perfect basis of your beautiful nature lives inside of you. To seek and know it is the essence of life in its truest form.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force ~

The Fourth Limb of The Yoga Sutras Part 1/2

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 63

~ Pranayama breathing guides us into the ease of pure existence. ~

💜

Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words. Prana means a subtle life-force / ‘vital energy’ / ‘breath of life’ which gives energy to the mind and body (it is also translated as the substance of the astral world) and ayama which signifies the voluntary effort to expand, lengthen and direct life-force or prana.

Pranayama, therefore, means “extension of life force.”

Pranayama is essentially a process by which prana is controlled by regulating the breathing voluntarily. It involves a temporary pause or interval in the movement of breath.

The practice of pranayama according to the sutras helps in transforming the total personality by clearing mental obstructions, purifying the subtle channels (nadis) with prana flow, awakening dormant vital forces in the body, focusing attention, developing concentration and improving overall health and vitality.

Pranayama aims primarily at controlling the mind and suspending the mental activity and ego-consciousness in order to bring about a still mind. When the mind still and the breathing calm, the inner light of the true self shines radiantly.

The light of the self is always pure even though it is affected by the filters of the mind. When the filters (belief systems, mindset, thought, biases) are removed – as it is a state of pure awareness – there is only one pure light ~ the true self.

The Seat of Meditation ~ ASANA

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 62

~ a state of calm and peace from within ~

💜

The hardest thing for most of us is to be still. To hold a posture of stillness long enough that we feel its effects. The mind is a powerful tool that seems to have a life of its own.

We have, competing for our attention, all of the stimuli we consume. Think about all of the social media content ~ the background noise of our constant devotion to our devices, to TV, music, radio that exists in the background as white noise’ and certainly of the bombardment of messages that we give and receive that make it difficult to hear the inner wisdom that lives deep within us.

In a recent episode, we explored together the third limb of the yoga sutras – asana. It is a word that you may be familiar with in yoga as the physical poses that comprise the class experience.

The Sanskrit word ‘asana’ is derived from the root word aasa which means to sit ~ specifically the seat you take for meditation. Originally, there was only one asana–a stable and comfortable pose for prolonged seated meditation.

Asana is more deeply recognized as a state of being between mind and body that can be cultivated as an experience ~ as a preferential choice ~ as mastery in mind and body.

The seat of meditation is a metaphor for sitting in the practice of ~ for being of the present moment. Bring this into everything that you do ~ your posture, your position, your mindset, your courage, your feelings, and all of the moments of your life.

Feel, experience, witness the promise of the present moment. Lean in.

Let the magic you witness here be the metaphor. Find this truth in all that you do and in all that you are.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Your Epic Summer Bucket List!

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 60

~ Your epic summer awaits... ~

💜

This episode is dedicated to my client Kenzie and every teenager who is excitedly planning and dreaming about what will be their epic summer!

As we embark on a new month it’s time for both the thrill and the ease of summer. We’ve earned it. It’s been difficult and challenging to live through a pandemic and as we are in many parts of the world, not yet feeling the certain grounding of life, I hope that we have all learned this important teaching: to be grateful in the simple luxuries we have always had and the ability to live ~ to return to this and something even better.

This summer and after more than two years of living without the freedoms we have all most notably taken for granted; freedom that I hope you will appreciate and not forget – this is your summer to soar – to move in the world with love, and to embrace the idea of limitless possibility.

In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I share with you the first annual summer epic bucket list that happens to be the brainchild of my client Kenzie who graciously said ‘Yes!’ to allowing me to use her first name and to share much of her list ~ to which I couldn’t help but think that at 15, not only is she wise beyond her years for the items that she has chosen on her list, but also most of these items are what you and I would benefit from and enjoy as well.

Kenzie asked me spontaneously during one of our recent sessions if she could share some of her summer bucket list. We then set out to add a few more items and what I loved was her impromptu explaining of why these were important to her.

Perhaps you too will contemplate why the items on your summer bucket list are meaningful to you. When we name the reasons for why something is important to us, it becomes even more special and we are more likely to seek that out.

As I share some of Kenzie’s list here, let it inspire you to create your own epic summer bucket list. Enjoy where your ideals and wish-filled desires lead you – beyond adventure, beyond self-awareness and autonomy and into what magic is in store for you as you reach beyond the typical and as you embrace every moment of summer!

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

The Official Name Change Episode

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 59

~ "Change is needed. Change is inevitable. Change is freedom.” - dorothy zennuriye juno ~

💜

What bold and daring decision have you made a reality?

Do you follow your heart regularly and do you follow it through to where it leads you?

Have you ever done something radically different and then fallen in love with it?

Have you ever felt an inner desire that you gave your attention to that spurred you towards action ~ whether it was to write a book, learn an instrument, build a garden, , move your life to a different geography, have a child, give up an addiction, or perhaps to fall in love with yourself and your life?

There are some of the many experiences of making decisions driven by an awakened voice within you and the conscious desire to evolve and transform ~ to live full on and unapologetically as your true self ~ even if at times, you may not know (just yet) where the path unfolding ~ will lead.

This episode is dedicated to each one of you as you begin the steps ~ a simple yet excitable idea that launches you towards sight unseen, what will become a future revelation of you ~ and at other times the giant and indeed scary leaps forward ~ towards the vision you have always held ~ your heart certain ~ all that you need to do is follow its urging towards something new and always in hopes of a brighter and more compelling life ~ that you are choosing.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

Faith in the Divine

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 58

~ Do you believe? Do you trust that your situation, what challenges you face, and your deepest wishes will all have a way of working in support of you? ~

💜

To heal the fear, to uncover the faith, you must surrender the ego mind.

When you hold yourself in the spirit of grace – when you hold yourself in the willingness of power – all love and comfort is yours.

You do not need to find peace, you become peace. Yours is the most gracious path into all things remarkable and full of love. It is truly what we are given each time we surrender, we let go of the noise of the critical mind as we settle into the inner peace that we hold within.

Grace eases us into faith and our focus may then be towards our greatest ideals. You surrender the worry, the doubt, the fear and you embrace the truth and the freedom that you hold to see this – to live this in all of the moments of your life.

A practical means for releasing, surrendering the noise of the ego is to remember the question I teach my clients: ‘What is true?’

What is factual? What is the correct information and ‘right’ knowledge? What is absolute and certain. Everything else is not needed because as you will open your heart, it will lead you to what is most important, most cherished, and the faith calling you to be and do and experience what becomes a ‘right’ path towards all that you seek.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 57

~ The yogis remind us that we can live in the rhythm of surrender all of the time unless we (as I did) get in our own way. ~

💜

Isvara Pranidhana implies that there is a divine force at work in our lives.

Whether we call it God, grace, guardianship, or life, this force is greater than we are and cares deeply about us.

Isvara Pranidhana is the fifth Niyama or observance that originates in the ancient text of the Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali.

The Yoga Sutras or ‘threads’ (as this word translates from Sanskrit) are a collection of 196 short verses that serve as a guide to attain wisdom and self-realization on how to live in order to advance along a spiritual path towards enlightenment.

Beyond the postures of yoga, the scripture of the yoga sutras provides the disciplines and observances that guide you in a practical and sacred methodology – to bring greater understanding to your life experiences and the guidance for taking ownership of your life, directing it towards the fulfillment that you seek.

Isvara refers to an all-pervading consciousness; pranidhana means “to surrender.” Together, these words may be translated as a “trustful surrender to a higher power to God ~ or the universe.”

The last and most important of the Niyamas, and perhaps the most difficult to embrace, isvara pranidhana is not a process of defeat or of mindlessly submitting to the will of another, rather it invites us to be active participants in our life, totally present and fluid with each moment, while appreciating the magnitude and mystery of what we are participating in.

Ultimately this observance invites us to surrender our egos, open our hearts and accept the higher purpose of our being.

We all have experienced what it means to surrender. Surrender is described as being ‘in the flow’ or ‘in the zone’.

We surrender to the grand and perfect moments of witnessing a constellation light up the night sky, or the simple and perfect moments of breath in the presence of now ~ and as we recognize that there is nothing we need to do to feel our innate happiness except appreciate the beauty that originates in this moment now before us.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

Self-Study IS Liberation

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 56

~ "gnōthi seauton" ~ Know Thyself ~

💜

We live in a society and a world in which we are taught to look outside of our self for answers, for authority, for validation, for friendship, for community; for the ideals that we are taught to strive for and the timeline for accomplishing what is deemed acceptable.

Nowhere is our heart more certain than when we have found another who loves and adores us.

The gaze is always external. Even when we are asked to know ourselves, we still compare what we see with what we perceive to be the inspired ideal.

Self-actualization can be misrepresented. We may have an idea and an image of what it means to experience a state of being in which we have arrived. We are here. We are complete.

In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I answer the question: What are the characteristics and traits of those who self-actualize and who live in liberation and the freedom to be all that they can and more?

If you are here and listening, this is for you. Self-actualized people have an acceptance of who they are and including what I call ‘the ego mind’ ~ the human construct that at times pulls us in to the limited ways in which we think and act and which create our suffering.

When you are self-actualized you experience a drive to be creative in all aspects of your life. This is in fact how you thrive.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

SVADHYAYA ~ Self-Study ~

The Niyamas Series: 4 of 5

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 55

~ The world gives you what you see. ~

💜

In this week’s episode we dive into the discipline of self-study and why this is necessary for self-fulfillment, epic growth, and personal freedom.

Here I share the steps for self-study and the ways in which we can experience our perceptions to invite us deeper into ourselves with love and grace and appreciation and for learning how capable we are.

The Sanskrit word for this is svadhyaya. Sanskrit is the world’s oldest language and it is the ancient and the classic language of India.

'Self-study' or Svadhyaya refers to knowing our true identity as divine consciousness. Think of it like this: This means that you already are ‘good enough’ capable, and perfect as you are.

Svadhyaya is the fourth of 5 Niyamas or observances that originate in the ancient text of the Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali.

The Yoga Sutras or ‘threads’ (as this word translates from Sanskrit) are a collection of 196 short verses that serve as a guide to attain wisdom and self-realization on how to live in order to advance along a spiritual path towards enlightenment.

Beyond the postures of yoga, the scripture of the yoga sutras provides the disciplines and observances that guide you in a practical and sacred methodology – to bring greater understanding to your life experiences and the guidance for taking ownership of your life, directing it towards the fulfillment that you seek.

In this episode I cite and also quote directly from Deborah Adele’s book: . From my research and study of the Yamas and the Niyamas, I’ve found Deborah’s book to be thoroughly enjoyable to read and I love how she has woven personal stories and other wisdom teachings throughout. I will leave a link here for how you can get a copy.

The yogis teach that we, as human beings, are at our core ~ divine consciousness. Around this pure consciousness we have been impacted by our varied experiences, our conditioning, and our belief systems. This changes the way in which we see and identify ourselves, what we believe to be true, our preferences and dislikes, and our fears ~ and imagination.

If you think about the various layers that we hold ~ each informed by country, culture, gender, family history, the groups we belong to, and our personal experiences, it becomes difficult to remember who we truly are.

Who you are is the god consciousness. You don’t need to pray to a god outside of you. You simply need to be your god consciousness far more of the time ~ to live this ~ and to realize how incredible you are as your goodness.

The yogis tell us that we suffer because we forget who we are. We forget that we are really the divine. Svadhyaya or self-study is about knowing our true identity and understanding the experiences that have shaped us. We find clues to this by watching our projections, tracing our reactions back to a belief we hold, and by courageously looking at life as it is.

This process of knowing ourselves creates a path to freedom. The ability to shift the way in which we identify ourselves from our ego to being a witness, and finally to our true identity as the divine itself is what svadhyaya – calls the joy of self-study.

I close out the episode with the practical ways to embrace the teaching of Svadhyaya. Please join me!

Please consider a practice of self-study. Leave a note for me here! Share with me what you are learning in your devotion inward.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Self-Discipline is What Makes You Successful

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 54

~ The discipline supports the benefit. ~

💜

If you want to live more disciplined, if you want to take self-discipline to the highest level to live this easily and to allow it to work for you in creating a life even more successful and satisfying, this episode is for you.

Discipline is a teachable subject. We learn it first as it is modelled by our family of origin and we learn as we seek to be and become more.

Discipline is tenacity. It is strength. It is willingness to take the steps that manifest your goals and dreams. Self-discipline is what drives and also inspires the work that you do and what action becomes habit, routine, normalcy as a way of life.

In this episode of 'ask dorothy' meet my client Gavin who initially blamed his poor choices and his overall unhappiness on his girlfriend and others before the reality check of criminal charges and being on the verge of academic expulsion stirred within him - the fire of 'tapas' and the self-discipline he needed to turn his life around.

  • The name of my client has been changed to protect his privacy. His story is real.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline ~

The Niyamas Series: 3 of 5

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 53

~ "If we choose to walk into the fire, it is perhaps the greatest gift life could offer us." ~

💜

Welcome to the third episode in this series on the Niyamas. Niyama is a Sanskrit word that translates as “rules, guidelines, or observances.” Niyamas appear in Hindu and Buddhist texts, and they are best known as the second limb of the eight limbs of yoga, as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.

These eight steps act as guidelines for how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They serve as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct and principles; they direct attention toward one’s health; and they help us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature.

The Niyamas are an invitation into a radical exploration of possibility. Just how good can you feel? How joyful can your life be? Can you reveal just how amazing you are?

My hope in sharing each of the five niyamas – is to open you further to the spiritual life that you can live in the physical ~ and the absolute beauty and wonder that you may cultivate readily for yourself.

In this episode I cite and also quote directly from Deborah Adele’s book: The Yamas and Niyamas. Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice in addition to other sources that I will list in the description. They if you wish to continue your study.

Tapas - or self-discipline, austerity, perseverance, burning enthusiasm ~ describes a spirit of ‘fierce grace’.

In Tapas we employ physical and mental conditioning to push against the natural resistance our body and mind present. This resistance is what generates your inner fire.

The literal definition of tapas is “heat” – and in this case it is the heat that builds during periods of determined effort. Tapas accompanies any discipline that is willingly and gladly accepted in order to bring about a change of some kind—whether it be improved health, a new habit, better concentration, or a different direction in life.

Tapas is a process of burning through untruths, fears, discomfort, pain, and struggle ~ channelling the fire of that experience into self-disciplined actions that fuel your evolution.

Tapas focuses energy, creates fervour, and increases strength and confidence.

For example, the practice of asanas in yoga is a form of tapas for the body; meditation is a tapas that purifies and focuses the mind.

Tapas is the encouragement to tap into your inner fire as what you draw from ~ as discipline to transform yourself into something else.

I also invite to check out my 5-part series on the Yamas next. These are moral disciplines that transcend all world religions as guiding us to live of our light and our highest self. I will leave links for this series in the description.

Please consider how you can live with greater self-discipline. Allow your discipline to guide you into the fire of fierce grace. Leave a note for me here! Share with me the discipline that you invite into your life.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy'

Fall In Love With Your Life

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 52

~ Live with the perception that everything is (as I remind clients) ~ 'perfect as it is’.

This is 'Santosha' or contentment. ~

💜

In this episode of 'ask dorothy' I ask you the questions. They are questions intended to provoke self-introspection, self-realization and a new dialogue for who you want to be.

What can you hold your heart open to? What can you live in full appreciation and contentment of – here and now?

To say the words to yourself ‘I AM content’ in any moment ~ becomes a visceral and definite reminder of a state of being that you choose deliberately. As you truly align with your words, you are already that much closer to happiness and joy.

We choose contentment because we are present with the experiences of each moment without judging them right or wrong, good or bad.

Something important about the teaching of santosha ~ it calls upon us to acquire the skill of abiding calm – an unshakable centre that exists when you realize that there is nothing missing in each moment. There is nothing missing in your life.

There is also space for you to create whatever you wish for and then to take the steps that will bring what is wanted to you.

If you live with the perception that everything is (as I remind clients) ‘perfect as it is’ – this is the practice of santosha – to allow life to reveal itself to you in each moment without you needing to control or seek or grasp something different. This is the path and the joy of living content.

I remind clients of this who become mired in their focus upon what is wrong with their lives or who require certain circumstances in order to feel content.

For example, they will be happy once their son graduates from high school because right now he is behind one full semester, or they will be happy when their divorce is complete because it has been dragging for several months and draining their energy, or happy when they lose the weight they have gained and lost and gained again because they continue to self-soothe through eating.

If you remove yourself from the opportunity and the experience of contentment because you are not where you want or need to be ~ it is no different then when I decided I wouldn’t enjoy cycling because of the effort of hills to climb without contemplating how one can be content in the moment of the climb.

We climb hills every day metaphorically ~ challenges before us, tasks and responsibilities that need our attention and effort.

If you choose to approach your life content, it will lead you into authentic happiness and it will invite you to experience more of life’s wonder and beauty and it will allow you to be content even if you feel discouraged, frustrated, lonely, or sad.

Join me as we discuss how to live in full contentment of your life. I also share four of the best practices of santosha - contentment for you to live now. Namaste!!

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

SANTOSHA ~ Contentment ~

The Niyamas Series: 2 of 5

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 51

~ "Contentment is falling in love with your life.” - Swami Rama ~

💜

Welcome to this series on the Niyamas. Niyama is Sanskrit for “rules, guidelines, or observances.” Niyamas appear in Hindu and Buddhist texts, and they are best known as the second limb of the eight limbs of yoga, as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.

In Indian traditions, particularly Yoga, Niyamas and their complement, Yamas, are recommended activities and habits for healthy living, spiritual enlightenment, and a liberated state of existence.

The five niyamas the focus of this series ~ are constructive tools for cultivating happiness and self-confidence; the opportunity to practice and live in the balance of each of these arises in almost every moment day.

The five Niyamas are practices to be nurtured and cultivated. They will remain with us throughout our lives taking us ever deeper into the subtle realms of our being, moving us closer to the stillness inside.

The Niyamas as spiritual and practical teachings lead us beyond the body (in our activity and our asanas) and our mind (in meditation). Without them, samadhi ~ a state of joyful calm, or even of rapture and beatitude, in which one maintains full mental alertness and acuity ~ would be an impossible dream.

I also invite to check out my 5-part series on the Yamas next. These are moral disciplines that transcend all world religions as guiding us to live of our light and our highest self. I will leave links for this series in the description.

In this episode I cite and also quote directly from Deborah Adele’s book: The Yamas and Niyamas. Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice. Her wise words guide us into the practical and the spiritual as we explore the significance of the focus of this episode and the niyama santosha or “contentment” as well as “delight, happiness, joy.”

Santosha invites us into contentment by taking refuge in a calm centre, opening our hearts in gratitude for what we do have, and practising the paradox of ‘not seeking’.

'Not seeking' as not needing to be seeking and grasping whilst missing out on what is right in front of us ~ and often what is pure perfection.

While there is always a place and a need to look forward and plan the future, it is equally important to measure this with the balance of enjoying what is right here and now and directly in front of us. This is how we cultivate contentment for ‘what is’.

Along with getting ready for the next thing we seek, we tend to look at people’s lives and then decide what is missing from our own, rather than appreciate what we have.

When we compare ourselves to others and envy them, we move ourselves into a state of lack and disappointment. This moves us further away from feeling contentment, complete, and whole.

Contentment arises out of acceptance—of life, of ourselves, and of whatever life is offering to us in the present.

If you live the practice of Santosha ~ life would instantly be happier, easier, better, and with far more freedom to enjoy ‘what is’.

When we are content, we are happy. Thus—and here is the practice of this niyama—through the power of contentment, happiness becomes our choice.

Please join me in this beautiful practice. Send me a note! Let me know how you are living the practice of santosha in your life.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy'

The Discipline of Purity

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 50

~ What are the ways in which you can seek to live with a pure heart? ~

💜

Patterns of thinking, beliefs, assumptions, and the daily habits of the mind and body that keep us far removed from the precious experiences of our life and the way in which life reveals how perfect each moment truly is and how we can witness this purity with an open heart.

In Sunday’s episode of the podcast we began the journey ~ the first of a series of 5 into the Niyamas.

Niyamas are the second limb or path of the yoga sutras and are the Sanskrit word for observances.

These ancient wisdom teachings impress upon us the gifts of living the sacred possibilities of life ever abundant ~ unfolding in perfect ways and of our inner dwelling appreciation of the relationship we hold with ourselves and to which we seek to live as spirit in action.

In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’, we examine together how life can be sacred, how it can feel special and hopeful ~ and how you can live your daily habits and routines as the most beautiful moments ~ enjoyed purely.

In this Q & A episode I ask you the questions that help embrace what has been missing; what has kept you far removed from seeing the pureness and beauty of life ~ in the simple pleasures and in the richness of living each moment present to the fullest.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

SAUCHA ~ Purification ~

The Niyamas Series: 1 of 5

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 49

~ “Saucha invites us to make full and honest contact with the present moment in all that we do.” ~

💜

Welcome to this series on the Niyamas. Niyama is Sanskrit for “rules, guidelines, or observances.” Niyamas appear in Hindu and Buddhist texts, and they are best known as the second limb of the eight limbs of yoga, as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.

In Indian traditions, particularly Yoga, Niyamas and their complement, Yamas, are recommended activities and habits for healthy living, spiritual enlightenment, and a liberated state of existence.

The five niyamas the focus of this series ~ are constructive tools for cultivating happiness and self-confidence; the opportunity to practice and live in the balance of each of these arises in almost every moment day.

My hope in sharing each of the five niyamas – is to open you further to the spiritual life that you can live in the physical ~ and the absolute beauty and wonder that you may cultivate readily for yourself.

I also invite to check out my 5-part series on the Yamas next. These are moral disciplines that transcend all world religions as guiding us to live of our light and our highest self. I will leave links for this series in the description.

In this episode I cite and also quote directly from Deborah Adele’s book: The Yamas and Niyamas. Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice. Her wise words guide us into the practical and the spiritual as we explore the significance of the focus of this episode and the niyama saucha – purity.

The Niyamas or observances are an invitation into a radical exploration of possibility. How good can you feel? How joyful can your life be? Can you reveal just how remarkable you are?

The first niyama and the focus of today’s episode is Saucha ~ the Sanskrit word for purity and it carries a two-fold meaning.

First, saucha invites us to purify our bodies, our thoughts, and our words. As we purify ourselves physically and mentally, we become less cluttered and heavy. Purification brings about a brightness and clarity to our essence.

Second, this guideline has a relational quality as we relate to one another and to our shared experiences ~ including the clarity to meet each moment with integrity and with childlike wonder.

We become more pure in our relationship with ourselves and one another ~ in each moment through our attention to live in the pureness of each moment as it is and as we cultivate it using the language and compassion of our heart ~ rather than through critical eyes or judgment.

Pureness is to be entirely present in the moments of our life as they are. To do so always offers us the brilliance of the unexpected. To move in flow with life yields the most incredible results.

Please join me in this beautiful practice. Send me a note! Let me know how you are living the practice of saucha in your life.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment ~

The Yamas Series: 5 of 5

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 47

~ Aparigraha is the teaching of letting go – ‘of detachment’ and release. ~

💜

So here we are. This is the fifth and final episode in a series on the yamas – moral disciplines that guide us to a life that is built in grace and harmony – and a conscious path that shapes our honourable choices and a life that is cherished and blissful.

I have truly enjoyed every moment of sharing with you these five ancient wisdom teachings called yamas. Yama is a Sanskrit word for “restraint”. The five yamas in this series include: nonviolence or Ahimsa, truthfulness - Satya, non-stealing or Asteya, non-excess - Brahmacharya, and non-possessiveness - Aparigraha.

The yamas and the niyamas - the niyamas are the focus of the new series we begin together next ~ are both founded on a governance of moral and ethical conduct ~ modelling what teaches us a holistic and reverent approach to living life more fully and deeply – and in a way that honours our needs and desires to seek all that we wish for.

With trust in life to support you, there is no need to hold attachments to things and people. Unhealthy attachments can unconsciously create unrealistic expectations, criticisms, and disappointments all because we forget to have faith in ourselves, in life; and to exist in the present moment ~ to exhale – to let go – to feel full of our own self-worth and self-love.

Like the breath when it is held too long, what nourishes us can become suffocating if we resist the natural flow of receiving and releasing and letting go.

Listen on as I share the three ways that you can practice aparigraha of which honour the values that uphold a most august way of life.

Sending you great 💜 love...

'ask dorothy' | A Real Life Client Story

The Teaching of Impermanence

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 48

~ “This too shall pass.” ~

💜

In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I share a real-life client story (and a little of my own) that speaks to the beautiful nature of the human spirit when we can offer kindness and care to others in the words we speak, in sharing of our chainsaws to help clean up fallen trees and other examples of the actions that convey our oneness.

A grand example of both impermanence and oneness is the world covid pandemic and the fact that 77 countries at this very moment are still deeply struggling as case numbers in this week alone have increased, while in other countries we are quickly choosing to forget the discomfort and personal hardships that we have suffered.

Even as we are in different stages of a shared experience, this global phenomenon is one significant reminder of our oneness as humanity in a way that we typically are not able to see.

In this episode, meet my client Olivia* and how she chose to face the negativity and criticism among some of her colleagues with a teaching of impermanence and connection, and the understanding of oneness.

  • All clients names and some details of their story are changed in order to protect their confidentiality.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Life in Exquisite Balance

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 46

~ Brahmacharya as a moral discipline is how we turn the mind inward and how we balance the senses, leading us to freedom from dependencies and cravings. ~

💜

How do you live in balance? in harmony? with yourself and with all of life? Why is balance and harmony the key for feeling complete, full, and whole?

In a culture of excess, can we enjoy and savour the sacredness of singular moments ~ each moment woven into the next and to which becomes the flow of life and all that we know life to be.

In the last several episodes we’ve been exploring the yamas. The word Yama is Sanskrit for ‘restraint’. It is more commonly defined as a moral discipline and moral code that guides us into self-actualization ~ meaning... to attain our psychological needs for personal growth and development throughout our life and to live a life of meaning and purpose.

There are five yamas that are found in the ancient text: ‘The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali’. The Yoga Sutras are akin to a guide or an instruction manual on how to live and to advance along a spiritual path towards enlightenment.

This episode of ‘ask dorothy’ is a Q and A. It is for you to ponder my questions and to hold reflection whether as you include any of these in your journal writing, or simply as constructs in which to open your mind and your heart.

We all live with excess. Think about the means by which you have and acquire more. Does having more of something fulfill you ~ or ~ is fulfillment the appreciation of the experience or object before you ~ and in its fullest capacity?

Brahmacharya is about moderation of the senses. As a moral discipline it is a key practice for managing our sensory cravings.

The secret to live in the balance – to not need the excess – to moderate the indulgences so they are not in control of you, is to enjoy what is right now ~ what you already have, what exists all around you ~ and here in this moment.

This is what is meant to enjoy fully the pleasure of now. It is to witness the precious nature of each moment in its full capacity without the distractions of looking to something more or different.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-excess ~

The Yamas Series: 4 of 5

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 45

~ Brahmacharya as a moral discipline is how we turn the mind inward and how we balance the senses, leading us to freedom from dependencies and cravings. ~

💜

Welcome to this episode and the fourth of a five-part series on the yamas. Yamas are the first limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system.

The literal translation of the word Yama in Sanskrit is “restraint”. Religious texts of Hinduism and Jainism outline five yamas.

Brahmacharya reminds us to approach each day and each action with a sense of sacredness rather than indulgence so that we may experience and live life in wonder and privilege rather than the misgivings of greed and excess.

Brahmacharya—the moderation of the senses— is one of the key practices for managing sensory cravings. As the fourth yamas, or ‘restraints’, brahmacharya helps us cultivate self-awareness and transform habits that are out of sync with our spiritual aspirations.

Sending you great 💜 love...

All That You Desire Is Within You

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 44

~ To envy or judge, to diminish others’ success or devalue their accomplishments even ever so quietly in your mind - does not make you feel better. ~

💜

This episode of ask dorothy’ is a Q and A. Here I share a question that I am frequently asked from clients and to which contributes to one’s feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. The question: How can I not feel badly about myself/not as good as or ‘less than’ when I look at others who seem to have what I want?

Asteya is the Sanskrit word for nonstealing and it reminds us of an important moral code or discipline in which to live by.

According to the teachings in the Yoga Sutra (2.37), when we perfect the principle of asteya, riches come to us.

Returning back to the original question, we feel badly about ourselves when we judge ourselves as less than and as we look to what others have or do and envy this.

We don’t need to envy or take from others – whether in their time, their energy, or to seek attention and approval in order to feel good about ourselves.

This means that we can be encouraged by the unconditional love and wisdom that resides within us and experience the wholeness of our true self.

From this sense of inner fulfillment, you no longer feel ‘less than’ nor badly, rather everything that you see and are in awe of inspires you to more.

The teaching of asteya reminds us that everything we need to be fulfilled lies within.

The more we give to ourselves, the more we easily and freely want to give. The more we give of ourselves, the more riches of all kinds – worldly and spiritually – we are given.

While material wealth may unexpectedly appear when we need it, true spiritual wealth comes when we’re complete and whole within ourselves.

ASTEYA ~ Non-stealing ~

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 43

~ If you have everything and if you have the ability to have everything, you will never be in need. ~

💜

Welcome to this episode and the third of a five-part series on the yamas. Yamas are the first limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system.

The literal translation of the word Yama in Sanskrit is “restraint”. Religious texts of Hinduism and Jainism outline five yamas.

In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, asteya is described as the emptiness that is caused by a deep loss, unfulfilled desire, and the resulting lack or insecurity, jealousy or resentment that we focus on rather than looking inward ~ which always guides us to what we can and still need to do to support our well being; and to feel fulfilled, content, peaceful, and joyful.

According to the teachings in the Yoga Sutra (2.37), when we perfect the principle of asteya, riches comes to us. Although material wealth may unexpectedly appear when we need it, true spiritual wealth comes when we’re complete and whole within ourselves.

We don’t need to envy or take from others – whether in their time, their energy, or to seek attention and approval in order to feel good about ourselves.

We can rest in the unconditional love and wisdom that resides within us and experience the wholeness of our true self.

From this sense of inner fulfillment, we naturally want to give to others rather than to take from them.

The Truth Sets You Free

'ask dorothy'

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 42

~ Truth will lead you out of darkness because it is in illuminating ‘what is’ that you then may in the very next moment, find your path again and into the light. ~

💜

This episode picks up where we left on last in our discussion of the five Yamas – moral disciplines that are recorded in the ancient philosophical texts of the Yoga Sutras and here I dive into some ‘Q and A’ on the topic of truth.

Truthfulness or ‘Satya’ is the second yama or limb of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and this moral vow holds many secrets for how we can free ourselves from our suffering.

There are many ways that truth finds you. As much as some may avoid truth’s yearnings you can never avoid or deny its huge revelations.

I’m going to let you in on a huge secret to what will always bring joy into your life and for what will always reassure you – to live honourably – to feel supported in your decisions – and to always guide you along a right path.

Satya the Sanskrit word for truth is the definitive ground. It is what supports and upholds all of your faithful decisions. It is truth that compels you to seek change and to honour what you stand for and believe in.

Truth is how you create relations and connection and how you show yourself to be trustworthy and reliable. You need to know ‘what is’ true with accuracy and factual information in order to make the right and best decisions.

Truth is not always easy. It is not always what you want to hear or know especially if what is desired is something different. Let me say here that the truth will always be what you need to know.

You can work with truth. You can find your way to your right answers when you have the correct and accurate information.

Making a decision of any importance needs to rest upon knowing the truth.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

SATYA ~ Truth ~

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 41

~ Satya is a Sanskrit word that is translated as truth. ~

💜

Welcome to this episode and the second of a five-part series on the yamas. Yamas are the first limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system.

The literal translation of the word Yama in Sanskrit is “restraint”. Religious texts of Hinduism and Jainism outline five yamas.

These ‘moral vows’ or ‘moral disciplines’ are considered universal teachings that extend far beyond your yoga mat; these are important and auspicious practices that guide us towards how we may live in the world, yet truly they are intended to offer guidance and the spiritual grace of how to act towards our self.

There are five Yamas in ‘The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.’ In today’s episode we dive into the second yama ~ satya ~ or truthfulness.

Satya is a Sanskrit word that is translated as truth. It also refers to a virtue in Indian religions, referring to being truthful in one's thought, speech and action.

You practice satya by observing reality without judgment. This moral discipline is also the path of freedom from all self-induced suffering.

The philosophical texts ‘The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali’ constitute the foundations of yoga – not only as a physical practice but a way of living life as a guide to reaching Samadhi – which is a state of bliss.

The five Yamas are a wonderful ‘remembering’ of what allows us to live as our best self and of our greatness.

Sending you great 💜 love...

The Violence That We Cause Others

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 40

~ Ahimsa is inclusive of not hurting yourself with negative or critical thoughts or actions and not hurting someone else with your thoughts and intentions, nor with actions or words. ~

💜

In Sunday’s episode we began a five part series and a deep dive into the Yamas –The Yamas are the first limb or path of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and they together with the Niyamas reveal yoga’s ethical guidelines and a foundation to living masterfully.

If you are interested in developing your spiritual wisdom, if you are looking to gain the skills to choose the right attitude and mindset, the right thoughts and actions to live fulfilled and to take ownership of your life, and the right guidance to move effortlessly and with the wisdom that frees you to live both peaceful and full of joy, I invite you to join me for the series on each of the five yamas beginning with that of ahimsa ~ nonviolence.

The first yama – ahimsa – is the Sanskrit word that translates as nonviolence.

Here I share four practices to help you embody a life of nonviolence – directed towards yourself, others, and the world.

As I study each of these yamas in support of my own yoga practice and also in continuing to raise my consciousness, I realize how ahimsa is truly the most important of the five yamas as it is the foundation that directs us to live in a way that first teaches us what nonviolence truly means.

You may feel the significance of this auspicious discipline as something that must be top of mind each day. You may be surprised to learn of the many ways that violence is beyond the obvious physical actions that cause harm or suffering.

Here, let me dive deeper into the everyday challenges of life by addressing what precipitates our tendencies toward violence.

Sending you great 💜 love...

The sutras cover what is known as the ‘8 Limbs of Yoga’ – each limb is considered an aspect of the path of yoga, and offers us guidance for our life and beyond the physical practice of yoga.

Remember yoga is ‘unity’. It is a way of appreciating and living life in unison with the divine and in understanding our human connection to source.

In this series of five episodes we dive into each of the five Yamas. I share with you how those who teach this first limb of the Yoga Sutras make these sacred text relatable and certainly significant as guiding values for living whole, abundance and of loving kindness.

The five Yamas are a wonderful ‘remembering’ of what allows us to live as our best self and of our greatness.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' Self-Discipline Is Your Superpower | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 38 - Self-discipline is you acting on your greater conscience to do the right thing – for yourself and in any situation. -

💜

I think of self-discipline as a superpower because it is precisely what brings the inertia into the present moment for you to take action. It is what stops the chatter of the mind and overrides the old scripts that you replay with new language, the determination that says quite instinctively, “I can do this” and “I am doing this.”

Self-discipline could be exactly what you are missing and what keeps you from living your life in the way that you deeply desire.

So to ask yourself: ‘How self-disciplined am I?’ Be wholly honest with your answer. and ‘Where in my life do I need to be more self-disciplined and how?’ These make great journal prompts for you to better self-examine the areas of your life that need self-discipline.

Self-discipline is so important that it is the single identifying criteria as to whether you get things done and in a timely manner.

Self-discipline stops the procrastination effect and the relinquishing of responsibility and it is the solution if you’ve ever struggled with unproductive or self-sabotaging habits that limit your potential.

In this episode we take a deep dive into the mechanisms that you need to build self-discipline; including how to up level your self-discipline in a way that supercharges your decisions and the actions you take ~ to support you in all of the best practices that you will live.

And if you are a parent, this episode will be helpful as it reminds you of the importance of setting the right example because your children will see the incongruity between what you say and what you do. Your actions speak louder than your words. Your children will learn the habits that you hold including a lack of self-discipline.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

To help you up level your self-discipline, please let me help you live your truth.

Shedding The Inauthentic Self

An Experience Into Wholeness

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 37

~ The inauthentic parts of you are those parts that you are not happy with. ~

💜

Timestamps:

A Mantra: 0-1:56 | Podcast Theme Intro: 1:57 | The Inauthentic Parts Defined: 3:24 | How to Feel Whole and Complete: 5:41 | Reclaim All of Who You Truly Are ~ A Visualization Experience: 6:46 | Podcast Theme Outro: 23:14

This episode begins with a mantra to help you begin the energetic release of the aspects of you that you no longer wish to be ~ as you reclaim your wholeness with the behaviors, attitude, and beliefs that best represent your highest self.

Here we do some very cool shape-shifting towards living whole and of your authentic self.

It’s time to break free from what aspects of yourself are inauthentic ~ that is ~ what has never served you.

We learn so much from the external world that does not serve who we truly are and all that we desire to be.

What traits, behaviours, mindset is not wholly kind and loving is also not authentic.

As humans we all experience moments when we are living out of our dark side ~ the inauthentic part of our self, largely ingrained with the ego’s need to be right, to be in competition with or better than another – and the desire to find approval and importance when really you already have everything you need to be monumental in your life ~ and true to your highest good.

“Release what you will no longer be – the antithesis of something is something better.”

Shedding the inauthentic self is releasing what is not wanted. This is replaced with a return to embracing what you truly are at your core. The new behaviours, mindset, thoughts, and actions all contribute to feeling whole and complete ~ as you are.

In releasing the cycles of your past, you are free to live whole ~ and true to yourself ~ all that is built upon what you are ~ that is pure goodness, grace, kindness, love, inspired to create and to thrive, and the ability to appreciate all of life’s beautiful moments in the present.

If you would like my help in your journey of living authentic, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

'ask dorothy' What is Your Path of Joy? | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 36 - The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honours your heart in light of your moment by moment choices. -

💜

Timestamps:

Podcast Theme Intro: 0-1:32 | An Intro to this Episode and A Memory of 'Joy' of My Life: | What is Your Path of Joy? Question For Your Contemplation: 2:53 | My Client Sarah*: 5:04 | Sarah's Path of Joy: 6:42 | How Joy is Experienced: 9:10 | How Sarah Would Reclaim Her Path of Joy: 9:55 | The One Protocol That Will Always Illuminates Your Path of Joy: 11:32 | Podcast Theme Outro: 13:43

What is your path of joy? How is joy your inspiration; leading you on your journey through life? Where in your physical being do you feel joy? How does joy reveal itself to you?

For my client Sarah, joy became a desired longing and a precious gift the longer that she remained out of joy.

In our session, Sarah reminded herself of her path of joy – of how it felt as the energy of lightness and ease and of the happiness.

Joy is experienced in the simple and deliberate expressions of gratitude and abundance. Joy is always with you. It is easily accessible as you acknowledge its existence and as you hold a place in your heart for its infinite love in the present moment ~ and in your pure witnessing of it.

The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honours your heart in light of your moment by moment choices.

Sarah would need to be wholly honest with herself to reclaim her path of joy. You need to do the same. We all do. Joy is easily accessible. It is the acknowledgement of all that you are in appreciation of, and the kindness you hold in your thoughts and words for yourself and others.

Joy lived in Sarah’s expression of honesty and acknowledgement of what she needed to be happy.

Could you live in your expression of self-honesty? Could you follow what is truly your right path, moment by moment?

*My client’s name has been changed to maintain confidentiality.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

Forgiveness is F R E E D O M

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 35

  • Forgiveness is for giving yourself healing and love. -

💜

Timestamps:

A Place for Forgiveness: 0-1:07 | Podcast Theme Intro: 1:08 | An Intro to this Episode : 2:35 | Forgiveness as a Solution: 3:44 | Change is Always a Conscious Choice: 5:25 | The Formula for Freedom: 5:51 | How to Break the Cycle: 7:20 | Out of Your Choice to Forgive Emerges Freedom: 10:08 | Words to Release Hurt and Suffering: 11:22 | Peace: 14:27 | Forgiveness For Your Own Past Actions: 15:59 | The Greatest Power In Healing: 19:47 | The Universal Law of Cause and Effect: 21:09 | The Spiritual Benefits of Forgiveness: 22:08 | If there is someone that you need to forgive... 24:10 | Forgiveness is Your Willingness to Step Forward: 26:25 | Podcast Theme Outro: 27:23

There can be a place for forgiveness in your heart for the unkind and hurtful actions given by another; for any damaging and abusive behaviour together with the harmful messages that have caused you to hold doubt and a lack of confidence in yourself and of your abilities ~ and for what has evoked within you ~ to question what you know is true and best for your life.

I want you to know that you can find a place for forgiveness in your heart and throughout your being - that leads you out of the sadness and suffering you have felt and into freedom: freedom that releases the hurts of the past, freedom that liberates you into the moments of now ~ and no longer mired in thoughts that ruminate on the extent of the damage that has been caused to you.

"You break the cycle when you liberate yourself from needing to make another person see the truth of their actions and to change, you free yourself to heal, to refocus on your life, and you are able to release your suffering.

You are not responsible for fixing another person nor a relationship.

You cannot change the past.

You must simply make a decision as to what kind of relationship this is realistically able to be based on all that you have been observing ~ of the other person, and yourself."

You may be wondering how forgiveness is a solution; how will it change any of the replete demonstrations of someone’s unkindness, dishonesty, and disrespect ~ or worse - the inconceivable acts of rage and violence from one human being to another.

Something that I want you to keep in mind as we go through this episode is the fact that people who are hurting, hurt others.

As humans, we repeat the cycle of dishonour, disrespect, aggression, and abuse in its many forms as learned behaviours and for as long as we remain unaware of and/or if we refuse to look at these actions with honesty and reverence.

If you would like my help in your journey of forgiveness and healing, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

'ask dorothy' The Cycle of Abuse Stops With You | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 34 - There is no power in abuse. -

💜

Ross’s* story is one of psychological and verbal abuse and the damaging effects that cast a pattern of believing and living as a victim. To live your life entrenched in the sadness and suffering of your past is to carry the baggage of victim hood with you.

This inner and often outer label that you have given yourself imparts confusion and self-doubt. Its mark is one of unworthiness and feeling undeserving of love. You struggle with this because at your core, you know that you are worthy. It is just that it can be difficult to find and feel evidence for this.

The damage inflicted by a repetitive cycle of the trauma of abuse is not entirely known until some later time in our life in which we find ourselves reliving the pattern ~ the experience ~ the rhythm ~ quite innocently.

The nature of abuse that begins in childhood can be concealed with the cursory titles of ‘father’ and ‘mother’ ~ of caregiver, family member, elder, sibling, and ‘family friend’. It becomes confusing when a parent or another caregiver is the abuser because this person is supposed to be a protector of our safety and a nurturer of our care and love.

As you are listening, this episode will help define your experience. Having a name for the behaviour that you were the recipient of, will give you the ability to better understand why this relationship has been so damaging and why you have continued to suffer.

This is how you heal from the damage you have suffered. You heal first as you name the abuse and then as you choose to no longer live it.

I recognize that this is a new way of thinking about what has caused you to suffer. You may in your journey of healing also wish to speak with someone who can help you reclaim your power. If you would like my help as you stop the cycle of abuse and to what you have suffered, please reach out to me. Let me help.

*The name of my client and others, have been changed to maintain confidentiality. The situations of his story are real and truthful.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

'ask dorothy' The Dangers of Self-Sacrifice | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 32 - The path of healing begins when you reclaim your power. -

💜

How do you reteach someone how not to mistreat you? You begin with defining the boundaries that are safe as you uphold self-respect and as you do your best to maintain these boundaries whilst being kind yet firm.

When you sacrifice any aspect of yourself for anyone, you are removing the power that you hold for making yourself happy. You are giving others power over you that they likely will not use well.

In the years spent untangling from the relationship and the bitter and vengeful behaviour that Carrie Anne* witnessed in her former husband as she took the steps to leave, she made a point of putting her daughters needs and wants above herself – of curtailing aspects of her life, her job, and her personality in order to give the girls the freedom and happiness she thought they needed.

Carrie Anne set a dangerous precedent when she allowed her teenage children to influence the decisions she made and as she continued to give them privileges and certain rights that became the expectations that their mother would continue to cater to their every whim.

This is an example of how we give away our power. We make it possible to put others needs and wants as priority and in front of our own because we rationalize this decision as something that will make a situation better ~ will make someone love us or love us more consistently, or out of what guilt or sadness we feel and again in the hopes that in catering to another we are given what we need in return.

No one can decide what is best and right for you. Self-sacrifice can never redeem what has previously happened nor make up for past trauma and abuse.

My client Carrie Anne and I would need to work on her development of self – of how she would live true to herself and be the one version of her – the best version – in all of her relationships – never again allowing anyone to decide for her.

When you don’t respect and honour your desires and needs, others will quickly learn that they can take advantage of this. Whether or not they do is up to you.

Sometimes we don’t fully realize the pattern to which we have been living until it can become so painful and difficult that it is no longer possible to endure.

Your feelings act as reminders that how you are being treated or mistreated is not okay and from that awareness you too – like Carrie Anne will need to ask yourself these questions and then to set upon the steps of your honest answers.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

If you have been struggling with a lack of self-respect, if you continue to self-sabotage thinking it is the answer to feeling loved or cared for, please let me help you live your truth.

Self-sacrifice is not a solution. Self-sacrifice is a lack of self-respect.

Let me help you rebuild the honour and dignity that you deserve. Sending you great love. namaste! 🙏

*The name of my client and her children’s names have been changed to protect her identity.

In this episode, I have curated a formula based on three solutions that will move you into freedom and the release of the behaviours of self-sabotage and self-sacrifice. Find the PDF here: The Formula for Freedom From Self-Sacrifice

The Voice of Trauma

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 33

💜

~ When you give your traumatic experience a voice it means that you do more than retell the story or ruminate on the anxiety and fear from a victim standpoint. If you are ready to release the trauma ~ to transcend it ~ ‘it’ first needs the expression of your honesty and truth. ~

In this episode we look to the importance of giving trauma a voice; of acknowledging the hurt that has been caused to you by another and to give a compassionate and honourable voice to help others heal what trauma you have caused.

“When you acknowledge your mistakes ~ particularly mistakes in which you have caused harm to another whether intentionally or unintentionally, you hold the power to help heal the relationship and the experience of another.

You also free yourself from the hurt that you have caused and you create the opportunity for transformation ~ to no longer cause suffering through your words and actions.”

Trauma is defined as: a hurt and a wound ~ whether emotional, physical, or psychological.

The way out of trauma is through active healing and the choice to no longer live as a victim.

To give trauma a voice is to acknowledge where you are in relation to your experience.

Whether the trauma was fifteen years or three months earlier, it is still not of the present. It’s imprint can only cause you harm if you consciously or subconsciously continue to dwell on replaying the trauma ~ of what is the past and cannot be changed.

To give a traumatic situation a voice ~ is to acknowledge what wrong doing you are responsible for.

For example, if you lose control of your emotions and react with anger and this anger escalates further in your conflict into rage, and as you direct your rage at another ~ is it enough to say “I’m sorry?”

“I’m sorry” is a start. It is in the remorse and empathy you feel together with compassion for the suffering of another that you were responsible for, that you must give voice to.

Your voice is the acknowledgement of sorrow and the admittance of wrong doing. This and any other steps that you can take to help another become the tools of healing for you both.

Trauma for any past situation is the trauma that you need to give voice to ~ to say “this happened”. This happened and then I did this to heal from what happened.

This is how you live empowered to continue your journey of truth seeking ~ and your delivery into who and what you live now.

Sending you great 💜 love...

This Is Enlightenment.

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 31

💜

~ Sometimes the path we seek is the one that we are already on. The path of divine consciousness is the path of your soul in unison with the god source. ~

Here I share what it means to live enlightened. It is one that you birth out of love and the conscious desire to live as your highest self. Your highest self is the most beautiful way in which you merge with the god source.

Enlightenment is true liberation. It is the wisdom you gain through the blissful passage of your heart open to love and to being of love.

The path of enlightenment is the path of pure awareness. It is your decision – your conscious choice in the space and time of infinity = to love as the most important potential you could ever know.

Being love is what opens you to the divine and the power that you hold to create miracles in your life through your free will and the heartfelt desire that mobilizes all of what you live.

To fuel your awakening I've created a gift for you.

It's a free printable 'enlightenment primer' for journaling your way to living awakened (with helpful prompts to guide you).

Download and print the template or use it digitally, as your inner wisdom guides you.

Sending you great 💜 love...

'ask dorothy' The NEW PROTOCOL for Goal Achievement

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 30

~ "Goals are the inner desires and yearnings of your heart that when aligned with the conscious mind, body, and the soul, become the unstoppable force that propels you into your greatness - already awaiting." ~

💜

Two questions that I often hear from clients are:

What is the most successful method to use when goal setting?

Is there a specific protocol I should be following for achieving the best results?

Indeed there is. Let me share my answers with you.

Whether you are working on setting new goals or reaching existing ones; whether you have been on a self-directed journey or we are working in collaboration towards your goals, this is for you.

In this episode, I break down a next-level protocol for goal achievement and the simple tool that will bring you into alignment with what you most desire. This will change how you think about setting and achieving your goals.

How are you standing in your own way?

What one element do you need to step into alignment with to make your goal a reality?

What can make it easier for your mind and body to follow the path you are already on?

Can you allow the soul to guide you and lead your actions?

To help you answer these questions, I've created a gift for you to guide you in your goal setting. It's a free printable worksheet you can use as a tool in realizing your goals by achieving balance of mind, body and soul. Download it here.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

A Love Note to Myself

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 28

💜

Love notes are to remind you of the words that you can choose to live by. They are the wisdom that uphold and support you ~ that mesmerizes with the sacred honesty that you need to live ~ and the reassurance that you are more than enough as you already are.

The idea of Love Notes written ~ and then read ~ spoken silently or aloud are the real ways in which you receive divine communication. It is how you experience loving-kindness ~ it is what you need to feel reassured, cared for, loved unconditionally, supported, and it is the guidance that you need in all moments.

Right now more than at any other time in the history of our lives, we need to make the right choices based on the wisdom of our highest self ~ and with this ~ to be reminded of what is our right choice and the positive actions that will allow us to thrive. For this it is important to know how to access this inner truth and to do so often.

The practice for opening yourself to this divine communication is what I call ‘Love Notes to Yourself’ because they are the words and messages of wisdom and guidance that remind you that you are never alone ~ and that you can always access your inner wisdom for answers, ‘right’ guidance, and the truth that will help you.

Communicating with your highest self (or whatever words you associate with this most reverent and pure and eternal state of consciousness) is how you (how each one of us) may live more confidently. It is how you may know your self more completely and to experience self-love as a natural and ongoing state of being.

If you want to feel self-love, if you want to know what this experience truly is ~ open your heart to the love that exists for you ~ from the eternal source of love.

The idea and practice of writing love notes from your highest self to your present moment self is an ever conscious and life affirming space for you to receive what reassurance, wisdom, kindness, encouragement and the practice of what will be a way for you to receive precisely what you need.

Join me for a deep dive into how to write a love note to yourself ~ to have the most incredible impact on your confidence and self-esteem and to remind you of all that you can be now.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' How to Release the Trauma You've Been Keeping. Emotional Intelligence and Trauma | A Real Life Client Story

Part 3/3 on Emotional Intelligence

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 24

Warning: Sensitive Content ~ Your past trauma does not define you. ~

Here in Part Three of this series, we discuss how trauma impacts emotional reactivity – namely, situations where you are triggered based on a previous trauma - thereby causing the same or a similar heightened emotional reaction.

How well you react in a present moment situation that is triggered by a past trauma is reflected in your level of emotional intelligence.

Since trauma can alter brain functioning and therefore our ability to regulate emotions, we dive into how the brain is impacted by trauma and the importance of neuroplasticity - making it possible to re-wire our brain, to learn healthy coping responses and to change your fear reaction in perceived and real situations of stress.

Thank you so much for joining me in this 3-part series on emotional intelligence. Please share out each of these episodes with a loved one who could be helped by building greater emotional intelligence.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

If you would like my help to build your Emotional Intelligence as one part of your plan to overcome the reactions of a traumatic experience, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Perseverance The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 26 ~ Perseverance aligned with chosen destiny and clear heartfelt desire is where the magic happens. ~

The textbook definition of perseverance is: the continued effort to do and/or achieve something. It is determination, steadfastness; adherence despite difficulty, failure or opposition.

I talk about perseverance because it encapsulates the skills of clarity – of knowing what you want and being willing to pursue this including all of what you learn about yourself in the process.

The skill of discipline is necessary for perseverance; for knowing what it means to show up and to do the work towards all that you desire.

You can be crystal clear about your goals and what you need to do but it is the action together with the discipline for seeing and living this process that awakens you to the challenge of what is needed.

Discipline is also how you boldly complete your action (steps) with conviction because you know that it is the daily actions that become the lifetime of success and rewards that you live.

What do you need to persevere? What skills, positive habits, clarity of mind, decisiveness, resolve, belief?

What is one thing that you are persevering now?

What actions best support you?

What would you define as the skills and the mindset of perseverance?

  • Is it positive attitude?

  • Is it assessment of what is most important to you and why?

  • Is it owning your value and worth?

  • Is it being of love in the world?

  • Is it dedication to follow a right plan and a path – and to always do the right thing?

  • Is it to be unstoppable?

– Is to focus on the end goals – and what you will accomplish today, this week, month, this year?

Why do you need to persevere at this? (at this one thing or many things)

Do you want something? Are you seeking to become something?

If you would like my help as you persevere to complete your goals, and as you wish to live a more spiritual life, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

A Meditation of LOVE and LIGHT The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 23 ~ Trust in the wisdom of your innermost dwelling self. This is the part of you that lives awakened and of your light in the material world. ~

Have you ever wondered what the words 'love and light' symbolize? What is this salutation and greeting and how can these three simple words be the guiding metaphor for you and for each one of us, to free ourselves from the conditions that hold us back from being our true self?

Here and through the experience of guided meditation, embracing all religions and spiritual beliefs, let my words in this contemplative prose help you to discover your inner light and the love that you already are - to be and live in the world.

Love and light are the reminders of what your heart expresses in openness, in care, in love and in gratitude. It is what you exist as now and also what you aspire to.

In love and light you hold the space for yourself to exist. It is both a mantra and a reminder of how each one of us can walk through life in the pureness and grace of what we are.

You are love. You are the energy of love and pure light. If you see yourself as this; if you continue to remember that this is what you are, then you will feel at peace - comforted by your own choice to live as your light and of the playful ways that you are of love.

Now more than ever we thrive in our humanity; in the power of our word and our actions to live honorably - to be self-accountable and to always do the right thing.

In some of the episodes of The WISDOM podcast, I've previously included guided meditation because this is one important means of connecting with your highest self; to experience the energy of your heart, the energy of your being, to exist for a time as the nonphysical - to be aware of what you are beyond your mind and body and to also feel the peace and calm that exists within you.

I share this meditation of love and light. It's the first in a very special series of eight of which each meditation guides you on a journey deep within yourself and to witness the inner world of peace and tranquility, of love and kindness, of grace and the true power that we all hold when we live from this place.

Let your own life be guided by the presence of love and light. Let these words be your mantra for how you approach and live in all situations and of great dignity.

In the comments, I'd love to hear from you as to what you experienced during and after this heart opening meditation. It's a contemplate experience that awakens you to live as your nonphysical self - expansive and free.

Please settle into a comfortable posture and give this time and space to your whole being for the reminder of what you are and the gift of how to live of love and light now and always.

If you would like my help to feel the love and light that you are capable of living and feeling, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

The Intuition You Seek is Right Here. The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 20

This episode is for you if you have been yearning to grow your intuition, to rely on it more than you ever have, to have the confidence in the information that you receive, and to know that your intuition is accurate 100 percent.

The skill sets that I share here will help you become better at interpreting the messages and information that you receive and of course, how to hone your intuition – to have it work for you – and to be able to access it at any time and all of the time.

~develop your ability to access your intuition. live with your heart open, unencumbered by the thoughts of the mind~

In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, we dive into the beautiful expression of intuition.

Intuition is a natural ability or power that makes it possible to know something often without proof or evidence. It is the experience of guidance in the form of ideas, musings, and wisdom.

Intuition is often described as a feeling or inclination that guides a person to act a certain way without fully understanding why.

In this episode we’re going to dive into the practical and also spiritual secrets of how to receive intuition. These are simple and straightforward because intuition is already a part of you life.

We'll discuss what you need to be able to experience your intuition readily and I’ll also guide you in a meditation experience in which I will share two of the most helpful ways to practice setting the environment as well as holding the space within, for being perceptive to your intuition – quite naturally.

"All that lives as grace is already a part of you. Now to witness it in the pure moments of eternity – of life." - dorothy ratusny

If you enjoyed this meditation experience and if you wish to discover more of how you can bring the sacred into the realm of the physical in more of the moments of your life, I encourage you to take my 10 day course: The 10 Sacred Habits of Meditation.

You can also join me in an upcoming live Workshop: The Sacred Practice of Meditation where we explore in depth four sacred practices that, like intuition, will foster a deeper experience of meditation and the means by which you can witness the divine in you - and in all of life.

Thank you so much!!

'ask dorothy' Somewhere Between The Rage and the Silence: Mastering Self-Regulation | A Real Life Client Story

Part 2/3 on Emotional Intelligence

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 19

  • Self-Regulation is one of the five basic competencies of emotional intelligence. -

💜

Timestamps:

Does This Sound Familiar? 0-1:33 | Podcast Theme Intro: 1:34 | How You Learned Emotional Dysregulation: 4:12 | Your Amygdala Hijacking: 5:32 |The Role of Your Frontal Lobes in Self-Control: 6:39 | What Makes You Emotionally Intelligent: 7:48 | My Client Gary and wife Silvana: 9:45 | What is Your Typical Emotional Reaction? 13:13 | The 3 Best Skills of Self-Regulation: 13:34 | 1.

What if you grew up in a household where one parent would lose their cool a lot? They would yell at the top of their lungs whether in general frustration or as a means of calling attention to something that you or one of your siblings wasn’t doing or was doing that you shouldn’t be. What if both parents did that and it became a normative culture to witness raised voices every time someone was frustrated or angry?

What if yelling by one or both parents was taught as acceptable based on the rationalization that ‘yelling is the only way for me to get you to listen.”

Or, perhaps in your home you witnessed one or both parents blaming another person or a situation for how they feel. For example, making an external condition the source of one’s stress rather than looking to one’s thoughts and perceptions as the cause of one’s feelings.

We all have experiences growing up of how difficult emotions were demonstrated. Anger, sadness and anxiety are the three most common emotions that we struggle with.

How you learned to express your emotions is largely a facet of what you were taught; what was shown repeatedly and what therefore became normalized.

Welcome to part two in this three part series on Emotional Intelligence. I would like to set the record by stating we all have learned from our caregivers how to display emotions. Whether inappropriate and unhealthy such as in the examples I cited earlier, or as in some households, at first glance it would seem that no one ever gets angry. Everyone seems so pleasant and calm. In some families difficult and unwanted emotions are rarely shared and expressed openly. You may have learned to choke back what you feel; to store it away; to not let others really know what is bothering you, or how angry you really are.

In part one of this series on Emotional intelligence, I shared my client Anastasia’s story of how one situation – one critical moment became the tipping point that changed her life forever; and that became the precipice for building what was an absence of emotional regulation and other basic competencies such as empathy and self-awareness.

If you haven’t yet, please listen next to part one, and then join me as we wrap up this series in part three and the true story of another client – and how in honing the skills (the competencies) of emotional intelligence, helped to overcome the experiences of their past trauma.

Here in part two, I share the impact of emotional dysregulation as it specifically relates to living in a state of constant amygdala hijacking; and how the psychological stresses (whether real or imagined) can create a feedback loop of reacting to stress.

You are about to meet my client Gary and his wife Silvana. Each member of this couple was in a constant state of dysregulation - and both triggered by the other's reaction to their expression of emotion.

To help, I share the three best strategies (used in conjunction with each other) to successfully self-regulate emotions. If you've ever lost control of your emotions, you'll want to learn these effective strategies!! Join me!

  • The names of my clients (and their loved ones) have been changed to maintain confidentiality.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

If you would like my help as you build these five competencies of EI (emotional intelligence) please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Build A Positive Sense of Self: 8 Wildly Important ‘Best Practices' to Live By The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 18 “You can check in with all of those who love you; whose love is unconditional and unwavering but the true feeling of certainty is born out of the love that you liberate yourself unto.” - dorothy ratusny

Your positive sense of self is the means by which you live - awakened to know and appreciate all of the aspects that define you; in the context of how you witness yourself in the world, self-honest and willing to live honourably – to do the right thing – because this is how you experience yourself as a being of love.

In psychology, sense of self refers to your conceptualization of the collection of characteristics that define you.

Personality traits, abilities and skills, your likes and dislikes, your belief system, your morals and values, what motivates you — how you view yourself in relationships and your perception of how others relate to and receive you. These all contribute to self-esteem and your unique identity as a person.

There are many natural and organic ways that each one of us develops our sense of self beginning with our early childhood. With the known research in neural plasticity, we have the ability to change our sense of self; to develop a more positive and certainly a healthier sense of who we are.

In this episode we discuss what it means to have a healthy and strong sense of self – one that exists because of the relationship you build and nurture with yourself. This is the most important relationship you will ever have. It begins the true awakening of what lies within – what you are beyond the physical and your mind.

Sense of self is achieved by developing the means by which you can be comfortable and content in your own company and to enjoy the companionship of your self.

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' Your Emotional Self Needs to Learn This | A Real Life Client Story

Part 1/3

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 17

  • This may be the missing piece to your life. -

💜

Timestamps:

An Intro to this Episode: 0-2:11 | An Introduction to My Client: 4:50 | Podcast Theme Intro: 2:12 | The Five Basic Competencies of EI: 11:13 | Self-Awareness: 11:41 | Self-Regulation: 14:57 | Internal Motivation: 18:59 | Empathy: 22:18 | Social Skills: 24:24 | Podcast Theme Outro: 27:14

Sometimes the dialogue in a therapy and coaching session takes us in a different direction. That’s important – actually its critical, because it means that we are expanding in whatever wisdom, guidance, help, and reprieve one can receive. And it means that you are being stretched beyond your comfort zone to places that you need to go; you need to learn about and grow.

In this first episode of this three part series, dedicated to learning the skills of emotional intelligence, we dive into the story of my client Anastasia. We also review the five basic competencies of emotional intelligence and the ways in which you can build and strengthen your emotional intelligence, and why you will want to.

Emotional Intelligence was developed as a psychological theory in an article written in 1990 by Peter Salovey and John Mayer which they defined as:

“The ability to perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth.”

In this three part ‘ask dorothy’ series on Emotional Intelligence, I share three very different client stories; each of which highlights what so many of us continue to struggle with: a lack of emotional connection, loneliness and separation from self that can spiral out into other mental health challenges such as, a lack of motivation, withdrawal and isolation, a loss of control, anger, depression, suicidal thoughts, and reckless and risk-taking behaviour including abuse of drugs and alcohol.

Your emotional intelligence is something that you can up-level to be more resilient in times of stress and hardship, to practice more of what you love by choice, to have greater clarity of a situation and of what you need to do; and to be able to better identify and express your true thoughts and feelings.

Join me!

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

If you would like my help as you build these five competencies of EI (emotional intelligence) please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

The Birth of Meditation in Your Life. The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 16 - Your inner sanctuary is what builds and sustains your outer life. -

💜

“Let’s make it official! You’ve just up levelled your meditation experience with me!”

If you’ve been listening to the podcast you know that I cover topics of spiritual and practical wisdom. This podcast is a medium for me to share with you what we might discuss in a client session of therapy and coaching, and what may be a recommendation for a new meditation for you to try...

I’ve also dedicated some episodes just for that – to share a meditation that is meant to evoke the space and the guidance to help you experience quiet moments and moments that are not so quiet because now you are hearing everything that was silenced before.

Meditation opens you to listen more deeply; to the world within. Meditation allows you to calibrate your inner world with the perceptions you live in the world around you. This means that the inner peace that you hold becomes the peace that you live; and in all of your encounters with others.

Meditation is to listen to the space that you exist in; your physical environment – the kids playing downstairs, the neighbour's dog barking as someone walks by on the street; the ambient music playing in the background, the furnace that just turned off. Maybe you have observed your brain – noticing what feels like neurons firing up; you can literally feel yourself awakening to your full cognitive functioning.

It could be the coffee but nonetheless, you are present to it; perceptive in ways that you have not noticed before.

So are you ready? Let's dive into together - let's birth this! Your free form meditation practice experience of 5 minutes is about to ease you into one of the most incredible states of being.

This is your first step. Whether right now with me or after you listen to the rest of this audio, let’s together witness the space and time of now for five minutes. Begin here because in five minutes your whole life can change.

If you would like to experience other guided meditation with me, you must check out The Wisdom Archives: a digital sanctuary of guided meditations, mindfulness musings, spiritual teachings, and best practices for your mental wellness. Enjoy the free content here and then subscribe. Your monthly membership is your access to everything here! New content is added weekly! Namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' Seeking Love. | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 15 - Because knowing your beauty is far more valuable than being told of it. -

💜

This client story may resonate with you because it illuminates an important theme in all of our lives; and perhaps most important for all women who have at one time or another looked to their father or any man for reassurance, approval, acceptance and love.

In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’, I highlight my client’s journey into self-approval and self-love and how she arrived here; her father’s absence in her life and the real experience of abandonment by him that she continued to carry the burden of even though rationally she knew that her father left her mother - and not her.

For my client Samantha, it was about proving herself worthy of love and going above and beyond in each of her love relationships, often to the extent of forfeiting her personal needs in order to find and feel love - love that was always going to be external to her, and love that was often conditional because Samantha was choosing men that unknowingly to her, were much like her father – emotionally unavailable and not skilled in being able to express and connect using their communication of feelings.

As a young girl, a daughter looks to a father for how she is valued and received by members of the opposite gender – not in a sexual way, but rather to feel pretty and beautiful and to be commended for one’s intelligence, confidence, grace, strength, perseverance, and any other of the positive qualities that empower a woman.

If a girl’s confidence is encouraged, if she is supported to use her voice, to stand by her morals, to not settle or acquiesce to other’s ideals, then a father (and a mother) have done well to raise an independent and self-assured female who is confident in her pursuit in life.

Please check out the list of resources below for all of the goods including The Ultimate Self-Love toolkit.

If you would like my help to feel love from within, and to make this your regular state of being, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

This is Self-Love. The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 14 - this episode is dedicated to each and every client that I have been able to help feel the love that exists within; and that they are capable of being -

💜

What if self-love was something that you simply need to open yourself to; and to refrain from what thoughts and then behaviours keep you closed off from feeling its incredible effects?

You may have been struggling with how to feel more self-love, or perhaps you want to live more alive and free in your life; less burdened with the state of your mind and the world.

Could you more easily feel the expression of beauty in life that exists everywhere you look?

I want to share a different perspective of self-love and one that is remarkable because self-love is your optimal state of functioning. It is how you feel at your best and most confident, and in a state of love you also live more authentic and true to who you are; uncompromising, purely creative, and carefree.

I think of it as a natural state of bliss, heaven on earth, and something that we are all able to experience here and now, and yes even in the midst of everything that we all have been living – and especially in the last couple of years.

As you align your thoughts and actions with love, you experience your higher good and your highest self as the pure energy of light.

This is how you feel when you flow easily with ideas, and as you welcome situations and as you are able to think and feel positively about your life and the world. It’s akin to feeling and expressing happiness, joy, and bliss.

So dive in with me. Open your mind and your heart to more of what you already know, or to something completely new that will help you with what self-love truly is, and how easy in fact it can be to live this.

Please check out the list of resources below for all of the goods including The Ultimate Self-Love toolkit.

If you would like my help to feel the love that you have and hold for yourself, and to live as this, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' The POWER of Self-Honesty: How Honest Are You Willing To Be? | The Questions I ASK of You

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 13

  • Think of self-honesty as your superpower. -

How Honest Are You Willing to Be?

It’s a question that arises often in my work with clients and it is a question that I’ve posed and suggested more times than not.

And here are a few others that you will or have already heard me ask...

Is that really true?

Is that completely and wholly honest? and

Are you begin honest with yourself right now?

As I write this I know that its going to land exactly when you need to hear this message. Its one of the most important values of self that you could develop together with loving-kindness, and respectful behaviour that you uphold.

Here’s another thought. You are inherently honest. You learn how to misguide yourself from the truth and it is a conditioned behaviour that you are taught early – largely unknowingly.

It’s powerful to practice self-honesty; to be self-honest because this is how you will make the right decisions, even when your decisions will at times challenge you to face your fears, to step up, to be more, to live easier and to feel happy naturally - because in the moments you have nothing to fear, you always have truth to back you.

Join me in this episode of 'ask dorothy' and a little reveal of the questions that I sometimes, or often... ask of YOU.

And a little story of self-honesty from my life. 💜

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

LIVE AS LOVE. Do These 3 Things The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 12 - a heartfelt plan if you looking to reconnect with yourself, and as you grow along your spiritual path -

These three best practices are to help you begin each day in balance and on the right footing; to shift your perspective and to focus yourself on what is most important.

The beauty of each best practice whether used in conjunction with one another or unto themselves and as their inherent power will return you to your divine state – each and every time you embody these.

If you’ve been wondering how you can bring more joy, more love, more light into your life, these three best practices are the way in which you open yourself to the god source.

You open yourself to live as the divine; as the energy of pure and unconditional love; as you hold deliberate intention and as you open your heart to this.

All of us are on a spiritual path. When you merge your physical reality with your experience as a spiritual being, you embrace the wisdom of the love you hold in your heart as a metaphor for how you live.

Embody the practice of living as love.

Allow the energy of the divine – your soul consciousness – to open you to love and to being love.

And if you would like my help as you navigate this new year in your life; to find and reach your greatness, your goals, your personal triumphs.... please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏

Sending you great 💜 love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

'ask dorothy' What Beliefs Limit You? | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 11

We all hold core beliefs that impact and influence our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Each one of us holds beliefs that are absolute truth, as well as beliefs that we continue to be affected by even though we can discern that the belief is unfounded and untrue; that it is what we have been taught or told or conditioned to model, and yet we know there is no basis in truth for our belief.

If you struggle with a behaviour and you recognize that your action or inaction is limiting you, take a look at what your beliefs are about whatever you are struggling with.

Often there will be a core belief that is untrue or mostly untrue that you have adopted, causing you to doubt yourself, your abilities, and it holds you back from realizing all of your potential.

In this episode of 'ask dorothy' I share the story of my client Cassie, and how two seemingly innocuous experiences of childhood became the unwritten rules of conduct and behavior that kept her small and afraid to speak her truth.

Join me and discover how you can reclaim what core beliefs never served you, and how rewriting your beliefs free you to live authentic and true.

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

'ask dorothy' The Snow Globe Effect: Transformation and Change | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 9 - A special episode for anyone who has faced the ending of a love relationship -

If you are listening because you have recently gone through a life change that was or was not decided by you; it can easily be overwhelming. It can cause you to question your life and what choices you have made and whether you need to rethink everything.

Change is being imposed upon us all of the time. Our lives become more abundant through the change sought through desire, growth, opportunity, new thoughts, and actions. Some change when we label it as: bad, unjust, wrong, only makes it more difficult to accept and navigate as a life experience that is causing us to break open; to think and feel and live beyond what we have - until now.

Therein is the snow globe effect - our world as we know it – shaken upside down for a time; not forever. Then as we watch in anticipation and wonder, we see the snow fall; filling all of the space inside the snow globe, delighting us in the magic of what we are witness to; creating a beautiful scene with nothing more than the simple action of movement; of changing the form of what already is -to reveal so much beauty.

In this episode I share the story of my clients Harold and Delia; and how heartfelt desire and self-honesty is necessary for the change that becomes our personal transformation. Join me!

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

THE HOLIDAY EPISODE: Practical Wisdom for Living The Magic, Wonder, and True Meaning of the Holidays. The WISDOM podcast Season 1 Episode 10 a little love, magic and wonder from Season One....

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Intro: 0-2:09 | Episode Intro & Your Thrive Guide to the Holidays: 2:11 | Do You Attempt to Recreate Magical Moments? 2:54 | 2 Questions to Engage Your Inner Wisdom for Joy and Happiness: 5:07 | Create Your Game Plan; aka Your Holiday Strategy: 7:31 | The Full Thrive Guide Formula: 3 Best Practices: 949 | 1. Be Love: 10:08 | 2. Bring Joy: 15:39 | | 3. Offer Peace: 22:22 | Episode Summary and My Wish For You✨: 27:07 | Podcast Outro: 27:54

The psychology behind our desire to recreate and re-live our most cherished memories of holidays past is to feel that same childlike joy, fascination, and wonder that was magical.

In this episode we dive into The Three Best Practices for cultivating the magic of the holidays in real time; and the strategy for how to do this most successfully. This is your thrive guide for the holidays.

TRUTH SERUM: You decide that something is magical and beautiful because of how you choose to think about it. Let your memories of Christmases past be inspiration as you witness the magic and beauty of life all around you. We sometimes forget our ability to conjure magic in simple things. A-HA MOMENTS: It matters that you find and feel joy in the real meaning of the holidays. Practice being love, bringing joy, and offering peace as you cultivate the present moment experiences of wonder, joy, and enchantment at the holidays. PRACTICAL WISDOM: It is you that co-creates the magic; by choice. This episode offers an experience of high level consciousness and the best strategy for cultivating magic, wonder and love.

Do you aim to recreate the magical moments of holidays past?

Do you imagine yourself at a particular moment in time during childhood where everything was enchanting; surreal, and as if you were living in a fantasy?

We tend to go to moments of our childhood as they evoke imagination and powerful imagery that immediately places us back in that time of innocence, of wonder, and of belief in the magic of the holidays.

Do you think back to memories that evoke pure joy, laughter, and fun, so that you can feel those precise feelings now?

As a child, you may have anticipated what gifts were waiting for you under the tree on Christmas morning or what you might receive on every night of Hanukkah.

As an adult, I encourage you to decide how you will curate magic and wonder by design so that you can experience joy, anticipation, excitement, and of course love because you've opened your heart to it; and because of the actions that you've taken to feel magic through the acts of giving, of being grateful, of loving kindness and of nurturing your relationships with your loved ones.

In this episode we dive into the best strategy for curating the magic of the holidays; and for experiencing joy in the anticipation of new experiences and shared laughter and fun. I hope that you will want to continue using these Three Best Practices as 'the' strategy for how you live life!

Discover new ways to feel the magic and wonder of the holidays by opening your heart; and by being grateful for everything as it is now. What can you say and do to bring joy and comfort to others through your kind words and actions?

Let's begin with a few questions. Right here is a perfect opportunity to engage your inner wisdom. Let whatever intuitive answers that rise up, be what you give your attention to.

Grab some paper and a pen because you are going to want to capture the first impressions and ideas that enter your mind.

These are important and will be worth exploring more as you decide what new actions and thoughts you will hold for what you wish to co-create.

What are your sources of joy? What allows you to feel happiness easily? Write your answers. Point form. Dare to speak these aloud so that you can hear the enjoyment in your voice as you speak your words.

Next ask yourself: How will I feel love, joy and happiness throughout the holidays? The key here is: how will you feel this for yourself. (For example, do you need to to be kind to yourself to feel love? Do you feel joy and happiness when you are doing something that you enjoy?) Take a few moments here and consider this. Let whatever impressions and pictures that come to mind be helpful cues for you. Record your answers so that you can remember this inspiration and implement it.

Your visual prompts and ideas will help you create a game plan.

The notes that you are making right here, right now will help you decide the strategy of the next several days and weeks of the holidays. It may also give you new ideas for the best practices in which to live your life.

As much as we all love to feel enchantment, magic, and wonder; which is often cultivated by reminiscing about a past memory or experience that we associate with feelings of love and joy, I want you to decide how you will evoke these incredible feelings by choosing the specific actions and the attitude that will allow you to feel the way you want to feel throughout the holiday season.

And, and if you've already figured this out, yes indeed - this is about what you can do to evoke these feelings and not what you might wait for or hope that someone will do for you.

We often idealize a situation that we would like but without taking all of the steps that ensures that we may have this. This is how you manifest your reality.

If you haven't yet, please listen next to Episode 8 of the WISDOM Podcast which is all about how you manifest your desires.

In thinking about how you will decide to feel the magic, wonder and love at this time of year, my hope is that this becomes a plan that inspires you to choose how you want to feel and experience life; and to remember that above all else, you always have a choice; and that it is you that defines your magical moments, whether at the holidays or any time because of your ability to hold presence in the moments of your life and to look for and see the beauty, the magic, in most everything; and perhaps in all of life.

Click to Tweet!

What allows you to feel joyful at the holidays? Does happiness and joy originate within you; and with your choice to be joyful, kind, and loving?

What makes the holidays enjoyable, less stressful and chaotic, more nourishing of love and self-care, is a rather simple yet ingenious formula - your thrive guide if you will, consisting of three effective principles or 'best practices'.

First: 'Be Love'. Practice giving love to yourself - first. Honour what you believe in and what is right for you (especially since others have different value systems and beliefs relating to the holidays). Ensure that you have ample time for giving to yourself; for what is important to you, and what nourishes your soul. This will always be healthy practices that allow you to feel 'in-balance', supported, and uplifted. Giving to yourself first is not selfish.

The definition of selfish is to lack consideration for others; and to seek or focus on your own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.

Giving to yourself is self-nourishing, and builds healthy self-worth. It is necessary for your well-being and positive mental state to care for and be loving towards yourself.

As you practice and nurture self-love, it is easier to be loving to others; to give to others of your time and care, because you have first been able to care for your needs.

The questions and visualization we did a moment ago was to reveal to you what you need to feel happiness, joy and the energy of love. Ensure that you take these ideas and implement them daily.

As the holidays approach and then as you become immersed in them, give to yourself as the first task of the day; even if in small ways. To acknowledge love unto yourself will have great payoffs. You will feel more 'in balance', happier, more easily able to navigate stress and challenges, and you will find it even easier to give love to others.

This first principle is also a best practice for how to live life.

Learn to take care of your needs on a regular (moment-by-moment) basis so that you can easily be at your best, and to be this with others. Consider that when you are agitated or in a low mood, it will be more difficult to wear a smile and engage with positivism.

From a positive mood state, it is far easier and less stressful to engage in conversation and to be 'on' for the moments when you are in settings that are challenging. If it helps, repeat the mantra: 'be love' or 'I am love'. It will remind you of your higher consciousness directives and it will help so much with a joyful, loving holiday experience.

How do you become better at the choices that will help you take better care of yourself and do what nourishes your soul? How do you better assess your needs and give yourself more love when there doesn't seem to be enough time in a day for this?

Here are some best practices and the positive mindset that is needed to ensure that you take the best care of yourself because to do so is self-nourishing and self-love.

  1. Self-care and self-love begin as a mindset. It's something that you must decide is important first in order for you to make this a priority in your life. In the questions that you have already answered about what are your sources of joy and happiness, use your answers to inspire a plan for how you will practice self-care, balance, and love directed unto yourself during a time of year in which you may feel more pressure and external demands from others, and especially if you are new to this practice.

This is why it's important to decide and map out in advance, what you are comfortable to do, and what you will decline.

Saying 'yes' to everything may be helpful for some, however if you are honouring your needs and if this includes a need to decline some activities, or to choose how you will participate in something because in doing so, it honours your beliefs, then following this practice of self-care and self-love will help greatly in taking care of yourself.

Discover how you can give to yourself in the ways that will sustain you and allow you to feel inherent joy; and how this is important and not selfish nor self-serving.

"Self-care and self-love is the ability to acknowledge what would make you happiest; what is right and best for you, and to consistently give this to yourself." - Dorothy Ratusny

Second: 'Bring joy'. When you are inherently happy; when you recognize that authentic happiness is an experience that you choose; and based upon the positive feelings that you allow yourself to feel; that are inherently a part of you, you know that happiness is not the result of what others think, say, or do. This means that at holiday gatherings, others may not always be at their best; and you as well may have hurt feelings from unresolved past situations.

Without needing anything or anyone to be responsible for your happiness, you can choose to bring joy; to show up at holiday functions and family gatherings in a positive mood state, and this allows you to spread joy; to observe how your innate happiness is like a feel good experience that is contagious.

One of the easiest ways to feel happiness instinctively is through gratitude and love. If you are being loving, you are also going to feel happiness. When you are thankful for what is in your life; for all of the good that you might take for granted, you will immediately elicit feelings of happiness from within.

Be happy and fully present with family and friends. Practice feeling gratitude and love for all that you have in your life; even as you continue to work on making aspects different or better.

The holidays are a time for many of us to come together for a short while; make this time joyful.

Consider how magical it was for you to feel joy and happiness as a child because of how others wanted so much for you to feel the magic of the holidays. Now, bring joy into the lives of others as you decide to be happy and positive and as you share of yourself fully.

"Important for the success of family gatherings at the holidays is the practice of building and nurturing your relationships throughout the year. Then, when you come together at the holidays or at any family gathering, you will have built rapport and closeness which then makes it more enjoyable and easy to be with loved ones." - dorothy ratusny

What would a healthier relationship look like? What are some simple steps that would improve your relationships? How would having better relationships with family members feel?

Here are a few helpful reminders as you navigate the relationships that are important to you, and how to improve connections, gain a deeper appreciation of a loved one, and to cultivate closeness and a positive and loving relationship:

  1. Practice building and nurturing your relationships throughout the year so that it will be more enjoyable when you gather for festive occasions. Far in advance of the holidays and as a practice for how you live life fully, plan to keep in touch with loved ones, to make an effort to see people that are important family members, and to address disagreements or conflict so that you can resolve what hurts you (and others) are feeling.

This is an important practice that often gets lost in the busyness of our life and yet, we gain so much from making a conscious decision to invest more in our family relationships.

I've seen firsthand how the ongoing effort to reconnect and build closer relationships leads to much healing of past situations, and an opportunity to feel closeness and comfort in being together, so that you can all enjoy this improved relationship at the holidays, and ongoing.

At the very least, prior to gathering with family and other loved ones, if there is an unresolved hurt that may take some time and effort to resolve, a phone call or loving note to your loved one, explaining your desire to overcome past hurts; will go a long way to feeling the love and making a otherwise uncomfortable situation, far more comfortable.

  1. If you are not interesting in the work of building a better relationship with a family member; perhaps because you have tried and this has been one-sided; and you recognize the limitations that exist, do your best to remain neutral; to be in the moment as you are together, rather than to focus on what hurts or bad behaviours have happened in the past. You may give yourself permission to not have a relationship with every person of your extended family.

If your time with this person is limited to gatherings once a year (if that); and if you have made peace with the fact that the person is how they are; that you are not responsible for changing them; then it is important for you to offer peace in your time with them; and not to use this setting to rehash the past or aim to change them.

Practice gratitude for your ability to put in place healthy boundaries and choose instead to offer kindness and peace here in this moment.

----more----

Third: 'Offer Peace'. In situations where there may be a potential for disagreement, misunderstanding or conflict, remember to first offer peace.

Offer peace and kindness because your mandate is to enjoy your time with others as much as possible. You may disagree with a comment or behaviour, another person's belief or value system; but remember that you are visiting (or hosting) for a short time what has the opportunity to be an enjoyable and magical occasion. Offer peace. You can kindly decline to engage in what may be a difficult or unnecessary discussion; and instead shift the conversation to what others will find easy and enjoyable to talk about. Peace is not avoiding speaking your mind and sharing your truth; you can always find a kind way to be honest with someone.

Peace is both a mindset and an action. When you are willing to be peaceful, it matters less if someone needs to be right or to have the last say in the conversation. Peace is the understanding that we all have differences; and therefore it is expected that we cannot possibly agree on everything. Offer peace in the throws of others who may be behaving less than kind and you will also diffuse an uncomfortable situation.

Click to tweet!

"Peace is both a mindset and an action." - dorothy ratusny

"Important for holiday magic is for you to feel at peace.

To be peaceful is to feel calm, mindful, attentive, and contentment. Decide in advance of attending gatherings and social commitments, how you will practice offering peace.

Think about this for a moment right now. You may just want to practice offering peace as a new life habit. " - dorothy ratusny

How can you be peaceful? How can you offer peace to others? Do you need to extend a peace offering to a loved one as part of your desire to be love?

Here is some guidance for offering peace as an action and as a mindset, and especially in moments when you feel triggered by others and have the urge to defend your position, or speak unkind in return; or if you feel hurt by comments that have been made:

  1. The idea of offering peace is twofold: first, to embody the idea of being peaceful when you attend gatherings with family and other holiday events where emotion and behaviour may get the best of some.

  2. The holidays may also be a time in which you decide to make peace or a peace offering to a family member or friend with whom you have not been in contact with.

As adults, there may be no better or kinder inspired magic, then making amends, being loving and forgiving to someone with whom you truly want to have a better relationship with.

Luckily the holidays tweak for most of us this desire to feel the magic and to let go of past hurts, so it may be the best time 'pre-gathering' for you to take a few moments to contact and connect with someone to share the love that we all want to feel at this time of year.

Reconciliation allows for the establishing of a new kind of relationship and one that is built on healthy practices and respectful boundaries.

Practice being peaceful as a best strategy for keeping the peace; and consider in advance of your holiday gathering, to make amends, to ask for forgiveness, to say 'I'm sorry' and to express the importance of another to your life. This is magical in and of itself and a direct way to feeling more love and joy.

I hope that this episode sheds much light for how you may be love, bring joy, and offer peace at the holidays, and for how these best practices may also be the way that you will approach and live life. I wish you all much love, peace, and joy now... and always! Namaste! xo

Kindness as Love, is Eternal

'ask dorothy' | A Real Life Client Story The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 6 Where in your life can you practice greater kindness? What are the specific examples of kindness that would benefit you most?

My client Rosa had been reflecting upon some of the changes that she sought to make with my help. Kindness was first on the list.

Kindness as a life practice; as a way of treating others and yourself are important as overarching themes that we all need to live from.

So how do you practice kindness amidst the daily life challenges that throw you out of balance? How can you practice kindness even when you feel anxious, stressed, angry, or hurt? Can kindness be universal as a life teaching that we all uphold? Is kindness one of the measures of universal peace? And is kindness really love in action?

'ask dorothy' I AM SPECIAL | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 4

My client Jacob was having a difficult time believing that he was special and unique; that in leading with his heart, he was thoughtful, considerate, loving, and kind beyond what was ‘typical’.

We began the topic of what constitutes being 'special' as he expressed his current disappointment in the dating world; and as he lamented his previous love relationship in which, in his words, "despite all that he did" his then partner chose to break up with him.

The definition of "special" is: to be distinguished by some unusual quality; to be other than the usual.

This definition would suggest that each one of us is special as we all have both the inherent qualities that make us unique and different in beautiful ways and we also have the ability to stand out; to go above and beyond in what we do, in what we choose; in how we are different and unique.

When you realize that you are indeed special, your confidence grows as does your ability to feel self-love.

Join me in this episode of 'ask dorothy' and why it's important that you feel special based on what makes you unique and what you offer the world.

'ask dorothy' Overcome the Fear of 'singlehood'| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 2

It is something that we all experience; singlehood. A time in which you are un-partnered, indivisible by one. To be single is to consist as a separate and unique whole.

And still, it may be the most avoided and feared experience together with public speaking and something that most of us would not like to admit - the fear of being alone and ‘un’ partnered as one enters the latter chapters of one’s life.

There is the obvious reason for why so many people yearn to be a part of a couple. We want to experience love and to to be loved; and to love another. It is a part of why we exist.

The love that two people share in a partner relationship has the potential to grow, to evoke and transform each one of us as we enjoy a sacred bond with another.

But if you fear being alone then what you will attract; what you will draw to you; what you will settle for will never be enough because it is chosen out of fear and not love, confidence, desire based on autonomy.

What is it that motivates us to begin looking for the next relationship and a new person to “make us happy” when the truth is... a lack of happiness can only be fixed from within one’s self.

Ultimately happiness is a choice. It is the freedom that you bring to everything you do.

It is the appreciation and love that you hold for yourself, and the choices that you make independent of another person that reminds you that you are enough; you are more than enough.

Bobby admitted to himself and to me that he was afraid of being alone. An only child to parents who themselves had a tumultuous relationship; there were some well-driven fears that were relatable. His father’s unstable mental health was a discriminant factor in what became a lonely and bittersweet marriage that drifted apart early in Bobby’s life. His mother, never remarried and his father’s relationships with women were filled with drama and conflict.

One can understand the desire for not wanting to be alone; for as an only child one can feel alone in the world; and especially after a parent or both passes.

To fear being alone means that you don’t feel the significance of being with yourself. To feel alone is to ignore the relationship with yourself that you have the potential to experience; that is how you learn that you are already complete, already whole.

Join me in this episode of 'ask dorothy' of The WISDOM podcast and why you need to be single for a time; why this time is significant in which to develop the relationship you hold with yourself. Then, with the confidence and self-love you possess, and the clarity of what you want in a partner; you will manifest this.

*The name of my client has been changed to maintain confidentiality. His story is real.

Sending you great 💜love...

The Path of Truth

  • A Guided Meditation

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 1

Welcome to Season Three of The WISDOM podcast. We begin with the premise that you already know what is right for you.

Each time that you follow a path that honours you, that supports what you want; that lifts your spirit; that nourishes your inner being and allows you to live successful to what you have always wanted, there is a certain calmness that is felt. It is a state of inner peace, and the confidence that you have found what is right and best suited for you.

This is your path of truth.

In the accompanying meditation, you are encouraged to find your sacred path into light; into goodness; into doing what is right and best for you – for the situation, and ultimately as the right teaching of your heart.

It's a meditation that is meant to be experienced as a means of starting you along your spiritual path; for deepening your connection within, and for reminding you of all of the truth and wisdom you hold.

Next Sunday at 8pm EST, join me in Part Two of this Three part series in 'How Do I Live My Truth?'

The WISDOM podcast S2 Bonus Episode 3

Here I offer the ways in which to think about presence during meditation and how to live in a state of presence in the moments of your life.

Presence teaches you how to willfully enjoy life’s moments, how to allow them in; to accept what they have to offer; to flourish in the experience of them, and to trust that everything by means of each singular moment is meaningful; each moment is significant.

When you practice presence, you become attuned to what is around you. You become more aware of the inward dwelling space of your inner being; and what allows you to witness yourself – your true nature – as the purest aspect of what you are.

Try this simple practice of presence for a moment with me. Close your eyes. Focus on your breathing. Soften into what you feel. Notice your heartbeat beneath the hand that you gently hold unto your heart center.

Presence is about joining in the moments of your life as they are already unfolding; and riding the wave of each moment; being one with them.

It is in this way that the practice of presence opens you. It draws you into the richness of the life you are living; and for seeing and experiencing more.

Sending you great love....

💜

Namaste🙏

THE NEW CONSCIOUSNESS

The WISDOM podcast S2 Bonus Episode 2

It is here. It is time. Everything flows out of the present moment. Everything flows into the stream of consciousness that lives in now; in the world that you live in your mind and in the choices that follow.

You have this beautiful life; it is yours. To live the most sacred moments is to be overwhelmed with gratitude and honor; honor as the dignity that prevails each time that you live in the blissful nature of your heart and open to love; open to all things beautiful and sacred and of meaning.

In the time and space of this life, the moral compass that you hold determines all things. It conveys to others how you run your life, what is important to you; what is the protocol and systems by which you live in, if you welcome the inspiration of others and if you seek to live inspired by noticing the musing that show up precisely as you need them.

The new consciousness is a new level of evolution that follows the simplest of practices and conditions. Remember that it begins with a choice; a free will choice in which to live as you continue to find your truth.

Join me as I share the three starting points to support what you need; and that provide the consciously driven and forward movement towards the infinite nature of life as you know it.

Sending you great love....

💜

Namaste🙏

'ask dorothy' 'Impermanence'| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Bonus Episode 1

The word impermanence describes the precious nature of each of life’s moments. Impermanence also reminds us of the fleeting nature of life. It reveals itself in the moments when we curiously wonder in relation to the day, the week; sometimes its a month or decade and ask, “Where has the time gone?”

The definition of impermanence is non permanent – transient - witnessed most accurately as the passage of time. It is the precious nature of life that reveals its simplicity; its fleeting power, yet significant moments that reveal what is priceless now and in each moment that we live - our attention to here and now.

My client Neela had just returned from a week visiting her parents on the east coast; her childhood home; and many unhappy memories that were weighted in sadness. For Neela it was the painful reminder of growing up with a Mother who was overly critical and restrictive of love.

Her father’s radiation treatment had been paused for a time; the prognosis was encouraging. He would continue to live indefinitely; the doctors speculated upwards of two years.

Impermanence is a way of deciding what we all must remember in order to appreciate life more; that each moment is here much like each single breath; its precious nature goes beyond the inflow of oxygen.

Breath is our passage from one moment to the next; from the moment that we first breathe of this world and every breath since that first moment; all of which are reminders of impermanence as life. Releasing exhaling breath is a beautiful metaphor so many of us never contemplate. To release breath is to set it free, to let go; to make space for the next in-breath in order to continue to live. You need the next moment as the next moment of your life; to live; to love; to rejoice in – for as long as you choose this.

The name of my client has been changed to maintain confidentiality. Her story is real.

Chakra WISDOM: Your Saharara Chakra

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 84

Welcome to this sacred journey into the chakras. Each of the seven major chakras that we explore together in this series, influence and govern accompanying areas of the body as well as emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual states that impact our path into the self.

The seventh chakra is our connection to our spiritual nature and our capacity to allow spirituality to guide us and to become an integral part of our physical lives. While our energy system as a whole is animated by our soul consciousness, the seventh chakra is directly aligned to seek an intimate relationship with the Divine. It is the chakra of prayer.

It is also the holding place (a state of inner grace) for the energy we amass through kind thoughts and actions, and through acts of faith and prayer. Our Sahasrara Chakra enables us to gain an intensity of internal awareness through meditation and prayer with infinite consciousness.

In your Sahasrara Chakra, you're suddenly able to be free of the constraints of your human brain (what I would call your thoughts, and the stories that you tell yourself and believe), and instead, to immerse yourself in the truth as you transcend and have a connection with the divine source. At this point in your spiritual awakening and development, you are called upon to rededicate your life to what you feel most important: to do what you love; to live in peace and harmony and to practice and teach this by example, to heal, to your spiritual growth and the spiritual growth of others. Take a moment now to think about why you are here and what you are dedicated to.

Here, as with the other episodes in this 7-part series, I take lead from the work of experts, one of whom is Carolyn Myss. She is a medical intuitive and one of my longtime favorite authors. Her book: ‘Anatomy of the Spirit. The Seven Stages of Power and Healing’ is a beautiful read of the chakra system and from where I directly quote and reference much of the teachings for the third chakra; our focus of this episode.

Be sure to take part in the guided meditation that closes out this episode. It is a beautiful experience in balancing the beautiful sacred energy of this chakra. 🧘‍♀️💜 Namaste!

'ask dorothy' When Is It Burnout?| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 83

If you are listening because you have been wondering if what you are feeling is burnout; if the past nearly sixteen months at the time of release of this episode has been some of the most challenging of your adult life; and if you can’t seem to shake the lack of motivation; the dulled or blunted emotions, the constant pressure you have placed upon yourself and what you feel from others; and the chronic emotional and physical exhaustion that has become your new normalcy, here I offer some of the best strategies and novel ideas to help you shake the feeling of exhaustion and burnout that you’ve been living with in one full swoop. The prescription is simple; the challenge will be to make this a new solid habit that you integrate as a lifestyle practice.

Dive in with me to this. You are closer than you think to reaching the other side; to release the symptoms of burnout and instead enjoy the experience of continual rejuvenation, relief, imagination, inspiration and hope.

Listen as I share my client Kim's* story of how she unknowingly crossed over into the zone of burnout and what best practices and strategies were most helpful to change her approach to her work and to the rest of her life.

*The name of my client has been changed to maintain confidentiality. Her story is real.

Chakra WISDOM: Your Anja Chakra

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 82

Welcome to this sacred journey into the chakras. Each of the seven major chakras that we explore together in this series, influence and govern accompanying areas of the body as well as emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual states that impact our path into the self.

The chakras are vertically aligned, running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. At each stage we gain a more refined understanding of personal and spiritual power. Each chakra represents a spiritual life-lesson or challenge common to all human beings. Mastering the lessons inherent in each chakra, we gain wisdom, empowerment and self-knowledge that becomes integrated into our spirit, advancing us along our path towards spiritual consciousness.

Here, as with the other episodes in this 7-part series, I take lead from the work of experts, one of whom is Carolyn Myss. She is a medical intuitive and one of my longtime favorite authors. Her book: ‘Anatomy of the Spirit. The Seven Stages of Power and Healing’ is a beautiful read of the chakra system and from where I directly quote and reference much of the teachings for the third chakra; our focus of this episode.

The sixth chakra involves our mental and reasoning abilities, and our psychological skill at evaluating our beliefs and attitudes. Often referred to as the third eye or mind's eye, the Anja or brow chakra is the command center for your subtle body. Located just above and between your eyebrows, this chakra resonates to the energies of our psyches, our conscious and unconscious psychological forces.

Within Eastern spiritual literature, the sixth chakra is the spiritual center in which the interaction of mind and psyche can lead to intuitive sight and wisdom. Attention and meditation on this chakra bestow wisdom, clarity of vision and increased intuition, allowing you to begin to see life's bigger picture.

The Anja chakra presides over your mind and your sense of self. Although this chakra strictly speaking has no element associated with it, the mind could be thought of as the brow chakra's element, since the mind controls the senses and vital energy. Of all the chakras, the energy here has the most powerful effect on your personality.

This chakra is the seat of your judgment, your emotional intelligence and your notion of reality, rationality and wisdom.

Six spiritual 'powers' are associated with this chakra: (1) unobstructed meditation, (2) perfect concentration, (3) the ability to direct your undivided attention, (4) thought-control, (5) samadhi or the super-conscious state, (6) and the attainment of enlightenment.

Be sure to take part in the guided meditation that closes out this episode. It is a beautiful experience in balancing the beautiful sacred energy of this chakra. 🧘‍♀️💜 Namaste!

'ask dorothy' What's Beneath Your Anger?| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 81

A recent session with my client Hayley illuminated what we have all experienced; and what surfaced during our time together was the simplicity of what you can do to help yourself in situations where you feel an unwanted and uncomfortable emotion. In Hayley’s case, she identified it as agitation, irritation, and a growing feeling of anger.

I dove right in to the question: What’s beneath the anger? Hayley laughed and replied, “Good question!”

Sometimes we just need to stop for a moment and do a deep dive into our self. Our focus can be on getting through something or pushing past an emotion and we may not realize how important it is to stop and acknowledge our feelings. Hayley knew immediately why she was feeling unnerved and – her words: “unraveled”.

The name of my client has been changed to maintain confidentiality. Her story is real.

Chakra WISDOM: Your Vishuddha Chakra

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 80

Welcome to this beautiful series and a journey through the sacred centers of wisdom called chakras.

As I share the sacred wisdom of this fifth chakra, I lean to the resources of teachers that hold a wealth of knowledge in their study of these ancient energy centers. I have directly quoted and referenced their work throughout each of the episodes in this 7-part series and I do so again here. I will leave links in the description for where you can find their books. I am very grateful to each one of these wise women. Thank you Carolyn Myss, Dr. Brenda Davies, and Anodea Judith for your interpretation and collective gathering of this ancient wisdom.

Your VISHUDDHA CHAKRA: Your Communication Centre and The Power of Will

As we enter the etheric level of the throat chakra, we enter a paradoxical realm of great subtlety yet powerful influence. We leave behind the balanced middle ground of the emerald green anahata chakra and reach into the etheric range of turquoise and blue that resonate with the throat chakra.

The element of this chakra is akasha, a Sanskrit term that translates as “ether”, “limitless space” or “sky”. The enveloping element of air still surrounds us, yet we reach beyond it into the unknown ether – the realm of vibrations, sound, communication, and the awakening of creative identity. It is an awakening that stems from a realization of yourself as a separate being from your security in your social environment, and from your desire to make a personal contribution to the world around you.

Communication is the essential function of the fifth chakra. As self-expression, communication is a gateway between the inner world and the outer. Only through self-expression does the outer world get to know what is inside of us. And, we may only know what is inside of someone when they choose to tell us. (We trust they are speaking their truth and in complete honesty).

Be sure to take part in the guided meditation that closes out this episode. It is a beautiful experience in balancing the beautiful sacred energy of this chakra. 🧘‍♀️💜 Namaste!

'ask dorothy' Social Anxiety: What You Don't Want People to Notice| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 79

Have you ever felt anxious or awkward in social settings?

I explained to my client Kara that social anxiety is an experience that happens to us all.

An invitation to a party; work colleagues that you know fairly well but there is also a room of other people that you will have only just met. You arrive late and after a long shift at work; but in honesty you’ve been procrastinating as you got ready and secretly hoped that you could maybe just blow the party off; except you do want to go. When you arrive, everyone is already seated around a large dining table, eating, talking, laughing; and now all eyes are on you. You have difficulty breathing and making eye contact as the host introduces you to each person around the table. You wish you stayed home but everyone seems so friendly, well maybe everyone except her; the woman that staring you up and down. You’ve forgotten what you’ve just said to a question someone has asked, and you don’t know where you should sit and is that an open seat? ...and why is this so difficult?

These are some of the rapid fire thoughts that cross your mind as your heart is racing; pounding so loud that your own voice seems inaudible. You feel self-conscious; you should have worn the other outfit you had lying on your bed; you dressed up way too much compared with everyone else. What have you gotten yourself into?

Join me in this episode as we discuss:

What is a social situation?

When does social anxiety becomes a problem?

The symptoms of social anxiety disorder; and

The best treatment approaches.

Chakra WISDOM: Your Anahata Chakra

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 78

Welcome back to this sacred journey into the chakras.

The chakra system originated in India between 1500 and 500 BC – more than four thousand years ago in the ancient literature of the Vedas. Evidence of the chakras, is also found in the Upanishads, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and perhaps most thoroughly in the sixteenth century by an Indian yogi in a text called the Sat-Chakra-Nirupana.

The chakra system was taught orally by the Indo-Eurpoean people (also called the Aryan people). It was traditionally considered an Eastern philosophy until New Age authors, like Anodea Judith and others, resonated with this wisdom and began writing about the chakras.

If you’ve been joining me in this series, I hope that you’ve allowed yourself to explore the wisdom of these ancient energy centers; these spinning sacred wheels of life. They are believed to hold energetic space within us; and which link areas of the body and psyche with associated metaphysical realms.

Within each episode in this series, I describe how each chakra affects our psychology, and our emotions and behaviours as human beings. Based on the teachings of this ancient wisdom and the modern day authors who bring this wisdom to life, I share it because it is yet another important way to understand the self; your patterns and behaviours; and how you may help yourself unblock and balance the flow of energy that moves through you. You also begin to draw insights and a helpful perspective from the ancient wisdom of the chakras, including what limiting thoughts and beliefs hold you back from living the full expression of life.

Perhaps, most important still, my hope is to give you additional resources and another source of self-healing; for finding and thriving ‘in balance’, and for helping to effect the change you seek – within yourself and of your life.

As I share with you the teachings of your fourth chakra, I reference and take direct quotes from Anodea Judith’s book: Eastern Body Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self and the work of Carolyn Myss and her book: Anatomy of the Spirit. The Seven Stages of Power and Healing. I’ll link up their work here in the description; as both are esteemed experts in this field, and these are great reads if you wish to learn more.

A chakra is a center of organization that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. Based on their location in the body the chakras have become associated with various states of consciousness, archetypal elements, and philosophical constructs. The lower chakras, for example which are physically closer to the earth, are related to the more practical matters of our lives – survival, movement, action. They are ruled by physical and social law. The upper chakras represent mental realms and work on a symbolic level through words, images, and concepts. Each of the seven chakras from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, represents a major area of human psychological health.

Here we dive into your Anahata, your heart center. Since the heart chakra is the middle point in a system of seven centers, balance, together with love and relationship) are the essential principles at this level of integration. This implies both internal balance between various aspects of ourselves (mind and body, persona and shadow, masculine and feminine), as well as between ourselves and the world around us (for example: work and play, giving and receiving, socializing and being alone).

It is important to continue to find and live in equilibrium, for without balance within ourselves it is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve healthy and long-lasting love relationships. The basic right of the heart chakra is to love and to be loved.

Be sure to take part in the guided meditation that closes out this episode. It is a beautiful experience in balancing the beautiful sacred energy of this chakra. 🧘‍♀️💜 Namaste!

'ask dorothy' How Long Have You Waited For Love?| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 77

For so many clients it is in that very first session that we chart a course for the journey deep within; a journey that is often overdue; a journey that will help free them from what hurts and trauma has caused them to doubt in their abilities to feel whole and of peace; a journey into healing, love, acceptance, and approval for whatever was not given freely and without conditions; and of which they (sometimes unknowingly), are now ready to give unto themselves.

How Long Have You Waited For Love?

We are beginning to understand that love must be willingly given to our self; that we cannot thrive in the absence of it; and we do not need to wait for someone to love us; to feel loved. Love as a feeling and a state of being that is experienced out of living in self-love. Each one of us is equipped to love; to give love ceaselessly. We are all hard wired for this; to love our self and to love others, and to do this as the love of one human being to another. It may be that we need to practice self-love; to first learn it and to be reminded of the ways that we already do this. The experience of love directed inward is how we reclaim our power and our wholeness. To direct love inward through words and actions of loving-kindness, is how we walk the planet in perfect oneness; feeling attuned with our ability to feel loved. The names here have been changed to maintain confidentiality. My client’s story is real.

Sending you great 💜love...

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Chakra WISDOM: Your Manipura Chakra

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 76

Welcome to this beautiful series and a journey through these sacred centers of wisdom called chakras. Each of the seven major chakras that we explore in this series, influence and govern accompanying areas of the body as well as the emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual states that impact our path into the self.

On a physical level, these spirals of energy correspond to massive nerve centers in the body. Each of the seven main chakras contain bundles of nerves and relates to major organs as well as our psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being. Since everything is moving, it’s essential that our seven main chakras stay open, aligned, and fluid. If there is a blockage, energy simply cannot flow and we can literally feel stuck in life.

The Symbolic Power of the Seven Chakras Each of the seven energy centers of the human body contains a universal spiritual life lesson that we must learn as we evolve into higher consciousness. I take lead from the work of Carolyn Myss, one of my longtime favorite authors and someone whose work I followed early in my own spiritual development. Her book: Anatomy of the Spirit. The Seven Stages of Power and Healing. is another beautiful read of the chakra system and from where I directly quote and reference much of the teachings for the third chakra; our focus in this episode.

I’ll drop a link for it in the description. It is a classic. If you wish to read more on your third chakra, please check out the reading list I have prepared in the description.

Be sure to take part in the guided meditation that closes out this episode. It is a beautiful experience in balancing the beautiful sacred energy of this chakra. 🧘‍♀️💜 Namaste!

'ask dorothy' Who Do I Really Want To Be?| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 75

To awaken begins the inner journey; a flurry of questions that ponder a deeper longing, that begin to highlight and address what needs to improve; to change; perhaps to end, in order that you may be content and happy, and at peace.

When your questions become a source of deeper longing for change; and of what is both needed and important for you now and for the rest of your life... it is time to know your answers.

Jon’s questions center around a theme of self-examination and the desire for change. It is usually our dissatisfaction and unhappiness with one or more aspects of our self and thus impacting the quality of our life; that makes change necessary.

We can continue to live – and sometime we do – indefinitely – hoping and likely also working to fix or change a situation, a relationship, or how another person treats us; yet in the end, you have control only over yourself: your thoughts and perceptions, how you feel and your actions and reactions.

You are self-governing. If your life situations or a particular person is contributing to your disharmony and sadness, I encourage you to find your solution; to no longer continue in the pain and suffering of what is not fulfilling nor kind and loving.

Begin to ask the questions that will help guide you towards truth and the right solutions that you can then act upon with growing confidence.

It is only when you are no longer willing to continue on a path that is detrimental; that imposes suffering; that happiness can be found again.

Ideally, the goal is to continue to make healthy adjustments and to auto correct all the time. To adjust and reposition, to amend and re-calibrate what you are doing or not doing means that you do not ‘find’ yourself in a situation that is heartbreaking and difficult because you are self-aware and awake.

As you experience yourself in the present moments of your life; and simultaneously a witness to what you see and sense, you are able to determine through self-awareness, what you need and how you need to be. “You fix a problem with the solution; and not by focusing on the problem.”

Ask the deeper questions. Be willing to hear your answers. This helps you to live in your truth. This is the first step to solving a problem; to finding the best solution; to navigating a path and a strategy that will always help you.

Sometimes clients will email me questions. For some clients, our entire session is communicated in an exchange of emails. Such is the case of my client Jon. Next, I share my email reply together with more questions for him to probe deeper. Jon’s real name has been changed to maintain confidentiality.

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Chakra WISDOM: Your Swadhisthana Chakra

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 74

Welcome to this beautiful series and a journey through these sacred centers of wisdom called chakras. As we dive into the realm of our second chakra, we encounter emotions and sexuality. Where the first chakra centers around survival and structure, the focus here is all about movement, creativity, and flow. The Sacral Chakra or Swadhisthana governs the energy of creativity, pleasure, sex, procreation, control and morality. It also presides over dreams and fantasies. The second chakra is located in the lower abdomen. The color of this chakra is bright orange. Its glow fills the pelvis, bathing the sexual organs, enlivening our desire and capacity for pleasure. As I share the sacred wisdom of this Chakra, I lean to a wonderful book titled: The Rainbow Journey: Seven Steps to Self-Healing, Dr. Brenda Davies. Years earlier, I would find a used copy of this book. It was very worn and the spine had let go, and yet I saw it as a ‘sweet’ find and it continues to be a wonderful resource and guide to the chakra system. I’ll leave a link for it in the description. I purposefully use the word ‘sweet’ as the Sanskrit word Swadhisthana has many translations – ‘the sacred home’, ‘the sweet place’ and ‘the goddess’ favorite standing place” because here at the second chakra it is about allowing pleasure and joy in the many experiences of life. As I share with you the teachings of this Chakra, I also reference and take direct quotes from Anodea Judith’s book: Eastern Body Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self and I’ll link up her work here for you also, as she is an esteemed expert in the Chakras. Be sure to take part in the guided meditation that closes out this episode. It is a beautiful experience in balancing the beautiful sacred energy of this chakra. 🧘‍♀️💜 Namaste!

'ask dorothy' What Are My Boundaries?| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 72

The topic of boundaries is a popular theme in therapy and an important personal practice when you are seeking to make your life better and to feel an ease in happiness.

When you have clear and present boundaries that you live by, it makes it easier to navigate your life; it allows you the autonomy to always choose based on your needs and highest values; and others appreciate and respect that you know yourself well and are consistent – in your words and actions.

The definition of a boundary is: something that indicates or fixes a limit or extent.

In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I share one client’s journey to repair the damage of not having healthy boundaries in place with the solution of building those boundaries – now.

If your needs and requests have not being heard nor respected by others; it’s time to get clear about what is okay and what you no longer will continue. Setting boundaries and then upholding them begins with a change in how you think and your willingness to honor yourself first.

If you are unhappy with how others treat you – if you have felt a lack of care and respect in the value that others show you; and if others consistently make demands of you; of your time, help, efforts, and also love – you may be listening because you realize its time to set your boundaries and to better uphold what you decide for how you want to exist in your life; and the parameters for your relationships.

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Chakra WISDOM: Your Muladhara Chakra

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 72

Welcome to this special series and a journey through these sacred centers of wisdom called chakras. Our bodies are a complex configuration of energy. We also have 72,000 "nadis," or energy channels (think of them like highways) along which vital energy, or "prana," travels. When the nadis meet at different points in the body, they form a triangle. The Sanskrit word for this triangle is chakra and literally translates as "wheel" or “disk” referring to a spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column.

There are seven of these wheels stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the top of the head. (image) There are also minor chakras in the hands, feet, fingertips, and shoulders for a total of 114 chakras throughout the body.

The chakra system according to one expert, Anodea Judith (and I will reference and also quote her work throughout) is a seven-leveled philosophical model of the universe. It is the seven major chakras that correlate with basic states of consciousness, and it is these that we will together examine here and in each of the next several episodes.

AFFIRMATIONS FOR THE ROOT CHAKRA: I am a beloved child of the universe and I deserve love, peace, and security. I open myself to receive the abundance of the universe. I love my body and trust its wisdom to keep me healthy. I am open to receive and accept love. I am open to receive and be nurtured by the powerful energy of the earth. I am a physical being and value my physical presence. I resolve to take care of my body and accept it as it is today. I value my body as the physical temple in which I live and I will aim to provide for its needs in terms of healthy food, rest, activity, and general nurturing.

'ask dorothy' How PTSD Happens| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 71

Here I share the story of a client: of whom I continue to work with at the time of writing this. Her name has been changed to protect her identity; her story is real.

Carol – a 26yr old female living and working in North America never knew that the physical, verbal and emotional abuse she sustained in a 3-yr relationship with a boy she met whilst still living in her homeland of China would be the reason for why she has been suffering with PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Let me define first what this is because if you are listening; if you or someone you know has experienced exposure to trauma you – or they – may also be experiencing the ongoing symptoms of this mental health condition that often goes undiagnosed; the focus may instead be on one or some of its symptoms without truly understanding the magnitude of the impact of this disorder beyond the abuse itself.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition in which people experience a variety of symptoms following exposure to a traumatic event. These may include flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, avoidance, and changes in mood and thinking. Symptoms may include re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoiding reminders of the trauma, startling easily, and having negative thoughts and beliefs.

Not every abusive relationship will traumatize someone to the point where they are exhibiting symptoms of PTSD, but it is possible. If you or someone you know has experienced prolonged abuse of any form; whether a witness to this or directly, and perpetrated by someone that was supposed to love and respect you, it is worthwhile to complete a screening tool or checklist for PTSD.

I invite you to use the link that I will place in the description for both an online post-traumatic stress disorder screening tool and a self-assessment tool that can help make sense of why you may be feeling the way you do. I will also leave resources for treatment so that you can begin to help yourself.

What Matters Now. A Rebirth Awaits You.

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 70

‘Reclaim your ability to look within; to live true to your highest morals and values; and to be love’

At the time that I am writing this episode we are well into a fourth wave of this pandemic; and one that experts claim will may impact a younger cohort of the population. Many parts of the world continue to be in various stages of lock down and extended stay-at-home orders. The reported numbers of new cases of COVID-19 and its variants are in many places greater than they have ever been since the onset of this pandemic.

Among the first activities of the day for so many now include an update on the reported new cases of people infected and of how many have died; making this news – this reality - our fervent new normal. The scope of which can distract us further from our self – and from all that is within your power to change; to take hold of; to feel inspired by and for what matters right now; for all that lies within your control including the principles for how you choose to live your life.

I begin here because a planetary pandemic is also a global tipping point and the catalyst for your next steps - and your rebirth. A rebirth – a revival – a spiritual regeneration, a phoenix rising up from the ashes. A metamorphosis.

While we do not know what exactly the future holds; each one of us has control over what our thoughts and actions will be; whether fear or love; whether perpetual self-healing (emotional, physical, psychological, and generational) or the co-creation of more ‘dis’ ‘ease’ through the fear-based thoughts and beliefs that we continue to hold; that cause us to revive and relive trauma – as it relates to our greatest fears in this pandemic and also of our past, and everything that has ever happened to us.

You may continue to focus on the world’s pained struggles to help and heal our population as we experience such an overwhelming plight, and yet will you take more seriously your need to stand tall in your own life; to rise above what you have always done; what has not been in support of you; and what self-sabotaging behaviours you may continue in.

What matters now is for you to examine what you have been living; what you still struggle with; what you know could be better; to align yourself with what you have wanted for some time; perhaps what you have even given up on.

Do you need a rebirth or have you already begun a metamorphosis?

'ask dorothy' I Know The Answer Is In Me| Q and A

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 69

In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I share a question from a client that highlights the struggle to arrive at peace; and the simple and ever so profound means by which peace is always a part of you. This is how it is easily accessible.

This is why I wanted to share this client question because within her question is her answer. It the answer that will also be the right answer in your quest of finding and living in peace.

Peace is what we need to have more than ever; as well as the ability to access it from within; that you may no longer feel ‘lost’ or ‘reliant on something’ to be responsible for your own inner peace.

Please keep sending in the questions. They are amazing! They are so rich and real and helpful for others. I hope that this answer provides a greater understanding as to why it can be difficult in some moments to lose yourself in your meditation practice.

Sometimes we need to be more attentive to our body’s experience and thus mindful breathing will not only dismiss the noise in the mind, it will help relax your body; giving you a different experience of meditation and of what you can enjoy as you feel peace within.

The Four Essential Principles of Meditation

Part Four: P U R P O S E

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 68

Here we are. This episode rounds out this very special ‘how to’ meditation series of the four essential principles of meditation.

These are the foundational elements that will guide you in a successful practice of meditation and these are also the four elements that will lead you into the most beautiful experiences of your life.

If you’ve struggled with how to meditate; how to build a sustainable practice and a beautiful ritual; if you would like to have further gentle guidance that affirms the benefits of meditation and how it helps you in other areas of your life; “these principles are the path and the tools to your holy grail.” They are the masterful, integral elements to guide and support you as you begin your practice or nourish an existing one.

Meditation is something that teaches us how to go within to feel comfort and peace, to reclaim the path home – and into our self; and to quiet the thoughts that stir and rouse; that keep us distracted and far removed from accessing our inner state of calm and Zen - and meditation is one path into your inner wisdom, and the truth that lives within you.

Here in this fourth and final part of the essential principles of meditation, we examine the principle of purpose. As you listen on, consider how this final element is the beautiful accompaniment to the other three principles: that of presence, allowing and will; since purpose is what identifies and ignites the importance for why you choose to meditate; why you develop faith in its cumulative benefit – even if “nothing” seems to be happening at the surface – just yet; and how you witness the greater meaning and purpose of your practice beyond what you experience during meditation itself.

So let’s dive into this fourth principle and its true potential for supporting a beautiful practice and the approach that you bring to all of life. 💜

'ask dorothy' How To Correct The Habits You Keep| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 67

Hannah blamed COVID for the life habits that she had succumbed to; endless hours sitting on her couch watching tv, scrolling through her social media, and eating. But the truth was that these were habits that were already well ingrained. She initially blamed her lack of motivation on living with a sibling who was depressed but now in her own apartment, Hannah had continued in the habits that she had always lived by.

Waking each morning to brewing coffee whilst she went outside on the balcony to smoke. Scrolling through her social media feed and watching random tv as the first activities of her morning were examples of disconnection, emptiness and in her words, ‘toxic’.

We all live by habits; our deep-seated ways of being are often on autopilot so that even the habits that we enjoy; perhaps like brewing freshly roasted organic coffee, or a soothing matcha green tea are experiences that we no longer appreciate nor savor. And if like Hannah you too have found yourself living on autopilot; ‘sleep walking through your life’; what other unhealthy habits do you not even think about that rule your mind, your day and your mood?

If you have been wanting to fix something about how you have been living your life; please listen on. This episode is to help you get unstuck, to eliminate what old habits that have been with you pre-COVID-19, that are continuing to cause you to suffer. It’s no longer enough to continue in what you’ve always done. These simple life hacks are the best practices for how to change. This is your road map back to yourself. 💜

The Four Essential Principles of Meditation

Part Three: W I L L

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 66

In this episode we dive in to part three of a four-part series of the essential principles of meditation.

Whether you meditate daily or every once in awhile; whether you are looking to return to a regular practice that you once cultivated, or deepen the experiences you have, you shall as you embrace each of these four principles, have all that you need to witness and know one of the most experiences of life.

Let these four essential principles be the pillars of your experience, both in meditation and also what you live in daily life for each of these will serve you in the best possible way; to live awake, to be present to the moments of life that exist for you; and to witness using all of your senses.

This third essential principle is so very important for your practice. It sets the tone for what you will experience without pressure or expectation. Will guides the mind and the heart. It is a powerful representation of how you manifest and co-create your life and it offers much abundance to the experience that you will have during meditation.

W I L L is the language of your heart’s desire; of decisions that you make to guide and support you through all things. W I L L is the resolve you hold to see something of value and importance through to completion. It is will that ensures your success beyond intention for will is the dedication and pursuit that is needed to take an idea, a desire, an intention and to transform this into the physical material reality that you live.

Let W I L L be a demonstration of your inner peace; your desires revealed with love and for the betterment of your life.

'ask dorothy' The Best Part About A Breakup| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 65

The breakups that are the most difficult are the ones you have not prepared for. You may know in your heart that this is not the right person for you and yet you are not ready to let them go - to be alone – to be for a time, lonely; to rediscover what it means to be with your self.

You may not yet be ready to fill your life with your own company; to be single; to be rejected, to wonder if you will ever meet someone great or someone at all?

The best part about a breakup is that you are forced to be with yourself; something that may not be easy nor comfortable at first; but if you can stay with this; I promise with my help and guidance, and with your belief that you are worth being with – you will find the most incredible person to appreciate and love – in yourself.

Your breakup, even if it was not what you chose and even as it does not feel so right now, in this moment – it is an opportunity to pause; to examine what was not right for you.

Here, I share my client Anna's story and a wholeness perspective on how a breakup is also a rebirth and a love affair that you have with yourself. Namaste! 💜

The Four Essential Principles of Meditation

Part Two: A L L O W I N G

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 64

In this episode we dive in to part two of a four-part series of the essential principles of meditation.

Whether you meditate daily or every once in awhile; whether you are looking to return to a regular practice that you once cultivated, or deepen the experiences you have, you shall as you embrace each of these four principles, have all that you need to witness and know one of the most experiences of life.

Let these four essential principles be the pillars of your experience, both in meditation and also what you live in daily life for each of these will serve you in the best possible way; to live awake, to be present to the moments of life that exist for you; and to witness using all of your senses.

Here in part two, we dive into allowing and the true benefit of being receptive; to be inclusive of your experiences - both in meditation and in all of life.

In meditation, allowing is the open awareness of all that you observe and witness in the absence of judgment. You can witness something and accept that it is already here in the physical world – unchangeable – and you can choose in the very next moment what you will bring into your life through your deliberate actions and the holding of presence as you focus inward; perhaps unto your heart center or your breath. Out of the present moment you observe yourself in calm – in now.

The principle of allowing teaches you to be inclusive; and to accept what you witness. The choices you make out of this moment empower you; to continue to observe; to learn, to seek greater understanding as when you may wish to sit with what emotions you are experiencing for a time and to take right action towards what is desired.

The teaching of this principle helps you to develop your ability to witness first; and then out of the ability to allow your experience you may then be guided out of this knowledge to choose based on what is right and best for you.

'ask dorothy' Parenting 101: Self-Regulation IS Self-Mastery| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 63

It’s possible that your child will have some or many of the same cognitive, emotional, and behavioral needs as you did when you were young. Still, all children thrive in the presence of love.

My client Samantha* and I spoke about the origin and root cause of her son’s behavioral tendencies; his well-established diagnosis of ADHD, and the latest outburst which led to her six year-old wielding his fist straight at her face. Samantha had a black eye.

Here I would help my client by sharing some of the constructive benefits of self-regulation that I encouraged her to both practice and of course to teach her son Aaron.

With the tools to successfully calm himself, to express his anger in a healthy and safe way, without causing harm to another; to help him process how he feels with cognitive restructuring and problem solving solutions, and of course to help Aaron understand why it is so important that human beings learn to self-soothe and to self-govern their words and actions.

The Four Essential Principles of Meditation

Part One: P R E S E N C E

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 62

Meditation is the art of deliberate focus and attention unto a single point or object. There are different ways that you can meditate.

To meditate is to live in the knowledge and grace of what is here before you; to witness “what is” – in this moment. In the present moment you witness a state of inner peace and calm that is always present within you; and that which you may attune to both during meditation and in other moments of your life. One of the benefits of a regular practice is to more easily return to and live in the inner calm that exists within you.

This is the first of a four-part series designed to help you begin a 10-15 minute self-directed practice that you can lead yourself through with confidence. These four foundational principles are also helpful to inspire your existing practice, and to build further on the skills that you already have.

The first of four essential principles of meditation is that of PRESENCE.

Presence is: the idea of attention and mindful awareness to what you observe here and in each moment

This means to notice when you are thinking about the past or future so you may actively return your attention to here... and now.

When you live in the presence of this moment; and for each moment – as the only moment that is truly important; and in which you are able to effect change; to choose; to take thoughtful and deliberate actions, to feel; to witness life unfolding and to imagine in the present what is desired of the future. There is no other moment in which to live from.

'ask dorothy' "I'm Miserable. I Don't Know Why?"| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 61

In this episode we meet my client Daisy* who is not happy in her job and the Positive Psychology practices that help her change her mindset, give up her unrealistic expectations in place of what is helpful; and to consider what the intention is that she brings to her work. Ultimately, Daisy is reminded of how she is responsible for her happiness; and how she can find happiness now.

The energy you bring to anything is most powerful. It is your intention that drives your experience. If you decide that you will look at every task, every job, every transaction as that which is meaningful and if you give each your attention, care, and love; as you take necessary moments to consider the positive in what you do and why; then everything becomes more purposeful and important.

Think of it as you are imprinting upon all that you do with your personal energy vibration. You can imprint a hurried, anxious energy vibe or an attitude of care and loving-kindness. Your attitude and intention brings value and enjoyment to all that you do.

Self-Acceptance Is The Language of Self-Love The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 60

Self-acceptance is how you move into your heart. It is how you choose to witness yourself in the presence of wonder and great light. If you are listening perhaps you have contemplated what self-acceptance truly feels like; how it embraces all of you; how the majesty of what you are and what you hold becomes sacred.

To live in the acceptance of who and what you are is to live of your spiritual self. It is to hold true to who you are in the face of honoring what you seek to become; and in the presence of right action.

A part of what you will hear in this episode comes out of my 10-day course: ‘The Sacred Teachings of Being Love.’ You can find this course and others in The School of Wisdom. (This course is set to launch in the summer of 2021).

Self-acceptance is one extraordinary element to living whole and feeling self-love. It is intrinsically tied to how you live and respond in the world.

If you have been struggling to build your confidence. If your self-esteem has cause you to doubt your abilities. If your confidence needs to be reflective of all that you truly are, then sit back with attention; you may choose to close your eyes to take in all of my words as you allow this wisdom in to you; to be what you have been in search of.

Acceptance is the value of appreciation and approval. It is the inner felt knowledge that you are more than enough. It is self-love in words and actions that are spoken quietly to yourself and as you speak about yourself in conversation with others.

I share this sacred practice with you as most people struggle to feel true acceptance. It is a part of our inherent desire; to be approved of and accepted by others as a hard-wiring for our oneness. We look for ways to make ourselves better in what measures we believe will be externally valued - by society, media, religion, culture; when true acceptance can only be yours to give to yourself.

You may also seek to become more just to do this because it is important for you and for your personal goals and the desires that fuel your right action. Then, what improvements you pursue, will continue to benefit all of you. Think of self-acceptance as the language by which you speak to yourself as encouragement, as pride, as the methods by which you choose to hold value and self-love.

Here I share the most important builders of self-acceptance beginning with your ability to appreciate and be loving of all that you already are. You do this with gentle and kind words written and spoken and the ever-present appreciation for that which you do not take for granted; and that all that you are capable of.

My hope is that you will dive and take advantage of the skill practices of self-acceptance that I share here as an excerpt from the 10 day course: 'The Sacred Teachings of Being Love.' Self-Acceptance is the topic of Day Two of the course. This is one episode that you will want to dive into with pdf and pen!

Sending you much love....

This is Dorothy 💜

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' Why Do Some People Refuse to Change? | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 59

Even as the whole point of therapy and life coaching is to help someone self-actualize; that is to realize their full potential, in this episode we take a deep look into why some people refuse and reject change. Why they continue in unhealthy and addictive habits; remain stuck in limiting and prejudice beliefs; blame others rather than hold a mirror up to themselves; and choose to aimlessly excuse their actions under the guise of remaining a victim – even when their loved ones point out the root of their suffering and encourage and offer unrelenting help.

'ask dorothy' Where Do I Begin? | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 57

Your answers are waiting for you. 💜

This is a natural response to the idea of beginning therapy for those who have never had the experience. It’s a response that I myself, and the other clinical interns that I trained with all shared as we looked at each other with a blank expression and a little apprehension because after all, what if you had never spoken to someone about something very personal and private; and something that would reveal parts of your life and your upbringing and some of your behaviours were less than ideal.

Unsure of what it will mean; or perhaps not fully read to open Pandora’s box; to look at your life from a perspective of:

‘What was the impact of that experience on me?’

‘How can I reconcile that situation so that I’m not reliving it each time I think about it?’

‘How did those life events, and the way that I was raised shape my thinking, my beliefs, and my confidence?’

‘Is there a way to change what I do so that I’m not feeling stressed, angry, or sad anymore?’

‘How can I improve parts of my life so that I can feel and live happy?’ and

‘Could I possibly fix or heal that hurt or wound of the past?’

There is an answer for each of these questions, waiting for you.

Join me for the answers to where and when you would benefit most from beginning therapy, and the real life story of my client Garret and his wife Dina and how the timing of therapy could have made all of the difference.

*The names of my clients have been changed to protect their privacy. Their stories are real.

How Do I Become Whole? The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 56

“You become whole when you embrace all parts of your self as you seek to heal these parts and to live as the highest examples of authenticity and kindness and love.” - dorothy ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Intro & The Story Of My Client Donovan: :52 | What Your 'Dark Side' Is: 3:37 | Wholeness is.... 7:45 | A Spiritual Perspective on Wholeness: 14:27 | My Client James: 16:15 | What Does It Mean To Awaken? 21:17 | One of The Biggest Responsibilities of Your Life: 22:49 | A Question to Ask Yourself: 25:00 | A Healing Mantra: 25:59 | Podcast Outro: 28:34

In this episode, I share the stories of my clients Donovan and James (their names have been changed to protect their privacy), but their stories are real. Each client that I see, that chooses to begin their inner journey is also on a path of wholeness. To heal from situations and experiences of the past as well as what undesirable behaviours and beliefs one has learned, is to reclaim the fragmented parts of our self that we deny or ignore; that we dissociate from; or blame others rather than accept self-responsibility.

You must be willing to see yourself with eyes wide open; the clarity of what it means to hold yourself accountable as you see what changes are most desired.

Wholeness is living in the pure and certain knowledge that who and what you are is complete; and more than enough and capable to be all that you desire; and that you are already perfect. You must also believe this of yourself.

'ask dorothy' How Do I Let Go Of Thoughts That Are Not Positive? | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 55

‘To notice one’s thoughts in daily life is an example of being mindful and self-aware.’

Q:

"I am working on letting thoughts occur outside of my meditation practice without using resistance to those thoughts that do not serve me positively. Do you have any suggestions on making those experiences flow more smoothly?"

A:

When you notice thoughts that do not serve you; that you may be resisting, notice if these are thoughts that require further exploration and understanding.

Our instinct can be to avoid or disavow thoughts that are unwanted and which cause discomfort, rather than to look at them and discern whether they are thoughts that act as reminders of what is important and needs your attention, or if they hold accuracy and truth; and if not, how you will then replace them with thoughts that you choose proactively.

To live awake and aware is to have the ability to be notice your thoughts; to allow them to pass, and to choose the thoughts that you most wish to hold.

Please join me in this special Q & A episode of 'ask dorothy' as I share the best practices to let go of unwanted thoughts.

To Live As Your Best Self - 'Be Love' The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 54 with Dorothy Ratusny

In this episode I share divine spiritual wisdom in the practical ways that allow you to make it real in its wonderment and the real enhancements of your life.

These are the wonderful new buzz words of modern day. #liveyourbestself #liveyourbestlife. I would add to this list, #liveasyourhighestself #liveawake #liveyourtruth and of course #belove.

All of which illuminate a raising of global consciousness and the prevailing idea that we cannot only improve and transform who we are, but we can do this in real time.

The moment that you make the decision to change your life and if this desired choice is most important, as long as you never give up on this, if you see it through, you will manifest it.

Here I want to help make it easier; to give you the secrets for how you may live your best self; your authentic self; yourself as a being of love.

'ask dorothy' Your Anxiety Is Not You + 'The Goober Effect' | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 53

My client Gabby* initially sought my help for her unmanageable anxiety and the panic attacks that she suffered alone and in shame and silence. Her new job, while with the same financial institution was several levels above what her previous role had been.

As much as Gabby was the right candidate and her current boss and team valued her skills and the honesty and transparency with which she lived; there was no opportunity to relish in her successes because, as Gabby realized through our talks, she was submersed in the depths of her anxiety, self-doubt, and insecurity with each prevailing and uncontrollable thought.

“Would she be successful in this new role?” “How could she do her very best each day with efficiency and without making mistakes?” “Why wasn’t she getting all of her work finished?” “What did others on the team think of her abilities?” and “Would she have to quit if her workload and how she felt if this anxiety and pressure didn’t improve?”

This client story echoes the work of alleviating anxiety for so many who struggle with the world’s biggest mental health problem, and the special friend that helped her live in the present moment.

*The name of my client has been changed to uphold confidentiality. Some of the details of her story may be changed to maintain her privacy.

COVID-19 + 1 Year = Three Positive Life Lessons The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 52 with Dorothy Ratusny

In this episode, I share three immensely positive outcomes that have eternally imparted on us the opportunity for self-evolution, the need for greater autonomy and emotional well being; the freedoms that truly matter, and terms of endearment that we foster through our human shared experiences and love.

In listening, I hope that you feel uplifted and with a newfound sense of awe as you continue to look for and find the good in what this pandemic - one year later – has meant; the good that is within us; the good that reflects what more is to come; the good that results from change that was needed, necessary and now a strictly enforced part of our life; and of course, the good that we have not yet begun to see.

This is not to overlook all of those who have been sick, who have died, who have lost dear loved ones during this past year; and for those of us who may still contract the virus. At the time of release of this episode there has been 115 million cases reported of the coronavirus and 2.55 million deaths.

Here I also three examples of how our lives have veritably, changed for the better. I do not wish to downplay anything of significance or to lessen the severity of these times, rather to account for what we also need to remember and appreciate – one year later and beyond.

'ask dorothy' Love Your Body | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 51

This client story highlights the ongoing struggle of our human condition to accept and approve of our self as we are. This client had made the decision to have breast augmentation surgery in part, she admits, because her partner at the time had made disparaging remarks about her body. She believed that having this surgery and implants would improve her body image and confidence.

Post surgery, she discovered that the size of her implants were much larger than she had anticipated. The words of her surgeon ring clearly in her ears, even to this day: “No one,” he said “is ever disappointed that their chest is too large.”

My client admits that this decision was life altering, but not in the way that she had hoped. She actually took great effort to now conceal her chest (something that she had never done before), because she felt self-conscious and that her implants were far “too large”. What was supposed to help her feel “better about her body” actually resulted in her feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable with the unwanted attention.

I wanted to share the truth of this client’s story as I imagine that other women have also been left to deal with the psychological implications of their experience of breast augmentation surgery, in silence and alone.

Here we are. At the time of release of this episode, it is almost one year to the day that the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed the coronavirus as pandemic. We are discussing a topic this is long overdue, that you may have already been experiencing; that we all need to shed more light upon so that you and others who are suffering in sadness and with depression can heal yourself.

This information is not intended to replace your proactive work and the medical attention that I would encourage you to seek, particularly if you experience any or all of the symptoms that I will describe shortly.

Something that we don’t speak enough about; sadness has a place in your life; not forever, not as a condition that you must live in each day; but as a reminder that you have the infinite propensity to feel; to feel for another living being, to feel the suffering and grief of another, of yourself; and for real and just reasons.

To release what sadness has enveloped you, you must first be willing to let it in; to acknowledge it; to say ‘I feel this.’ ‘I feel sad.’ To acknowledge sadness is to then have the power to do something more with it; and to release the burden of needing to keep what you feel away or hidden; to disavow how you feel, or to feel lost or submerged in its abyss.

In this interactive journey into what depression is and how you can best help yourself, let me also present another theory: prolonged sadness and depression is also the result of a lack of love.

“If love was once conditional or absent, you can still feel loved.” - dorothy ratusny

It now must be because of you. You must now learn to love yourself – for yourself (and to also integrate healthy self-care and self-love back into your life).

We’ll talk more about this as I go through this list The 12 + 1 BONUS Best Solutions for Healing Depression - Naturally.

Beyond what you will integrate of this list into your life (hopefully most or all of it), I also highly recommend that you find a caring and loving therapist that can provide helpful guidance and support as you discover what it means to acknowledge your feelings and then to be willing to release them as you decide instead what you need to feel; and to be willing to do this for yourself.

We’re going to begin your self-assessment with the 'big list'; the official diagnostic and statistical manual (or DSM-5) and the criteria that your physician or psychiatrist would use to make an official diagnosis.

We begin here because this information is the Holy Grail for what constitutes a major depressive disorder (MDD) and it is also completely available in the public realm. It is important that you have the accurate means to self-assess.

Please join me for this valuable dive into what it means to heal yourself from depression.

'ask dorothy' Till Death Do Us Part | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 49

There are always multiple perspectives to any story. One objective in couples therapy is to help both individuals speak the truth; to no longer hold onto what they each have told themselves is permissible or acceptable, for whatever their reasons may be and to examine their part in the relationship breakdown or in this case, final death.

In my work with couples therapy, the attention is also directed towards each individual member so that each may begin to examine themselves in a way that would allow for self-honesty and to be able to make the changes that are necessary to improve the relationship but also to improve upon one’s self and to live authentic and true.

My other client; the husband was lost in his anger; the anger that was exacerbated by feelings of betrayal and his world crumbling around him. The only reason he claimed to remain under the same roof indefinitely, was to secure a means of seeing his children.

When you have dishonesty, secrecy, lies, and deception; regardless of the reasons you tell yourself in order to make this okay, you actually build greater distance from your partner. You also create fragmentation from your authentic self. Every dishonest action, every act of deception builds a fortress of walls, disconnection and lies that forges a wedge; that makes it nearly impossible for you to be transparent. This is also called ‘living a double life’.

This client kept secret his gambling addiction and a large debt he had accumulated whilst the couple was dating. He also kept hidden his binges on cocaine that he convinced himself were allowable and justified in dealing with his wife’s affair.

If you are not able to be truthful and honest in what is the most important relationship you will ever have with another person; if you are convinced that you need to hide parts of yourself, your actions, your choices and to live this double or secret life, then this marks the ending of what you thought you had. Without the ability of both members to be honest and truthful; you cannot have the transparency and complete trust that allows for a love relationship to be sacred.

Consider this for a moment. Do you have complete and whole honesty in your love relationship? Can you be and express yourself without fear that you will be judged by your partner? Do you question whether you have the approval of your partner and do you constantly seek this, because their expectations of you may not be realistic nor aligned with your deepest values and morals? Sometimes we do not even know that our partner has expectations of us (which may or may not be reasonable) until they are unhappy or angry with us for not fulfilling these.

And in this true life client story; as we continued to unpack still more layers of the past; it became apparent that only one member of the couple was willing to come clean; to find their way beyond the deceptions, lies, and dishonesty; and their fear of speaking the truth. The other member at the time of writing this, continued to have an inconsolable need to be in control by seeking power through means of instilling fear; being abusive; in continued secrecy and deception; and the ever-present feelings of hatred and contempt.

Without both members willingness to reveal their whole truth and to stand in the light of what this would mean for what needed to then be healed, there would be no turning back.

There was no fixing this; there would only be the saving of each person’s self in being separate; in examining one’s own actions and the need to find wholeness in living authentic and true to one’s self first.

What you need in order to have a loving relationship that will continue to grow with each person’s own deliberate and continued desire to evolve and improve: is unconditional love and support; whole honesty and truthfulness in all moments, and the ability to be yourself as you are; with flaws, insecurities; with good habits or bad ones; all whilst both members become more.

By definition “more” is about self-awareness and positive change that allows for self-improvement and personal growth. This allows each person to experience wholeness; to heal from what has happened in their past, and to continue to become all of the person that they are capable of; and this includes consciousness (that is self-awareness, observation and self-honesty) and the ability to live awake and aware).

There are many happy endings for couples who decide to uncouple; who admit honestly that their relationship has been unhealthy at best. For this, there can be no judgment, rather the understanding that they must first learn to be with themselves; to have a mutually exclusive and loving relationship with who they are and as they seek to become their best self in so that they may attract the best possible partner.

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

Here and Now "The Magnificence of Breath" The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 48 with Dorothy Ratusny In this episode here I wish to remind you of the infinite power of something we all have and what it can do when we seek to use its power to thrive.

I know this because I live this together with you. I teach the power of breath not only as a helpful means to calm and release anxious thoughts and the physical sensations that immediately follow, but also how to experience one of the most precious and sacred aspects of all of life; that is – how to truly witness and envelope the present moment and how to live in its immense and graceful beauty and how to charge forward in the certain knowledge that you have this very precious and ability of how to live in the here and now.

Join me for this offering of pure enlightenment. I want you to also have the experience of how the conscious experience of breath will change your life as it has mine and so many other. Together you and I witness the pure power and perfection of conscious breath.

This episode, is a reminder in the ‘here and now’ of the intuitive potential of you and of this moment. This episode is about manifesting; its about being clear about what is wanted and it is about the path and the means to which you attain this; all out of the presence of this moment and each moment that you live in full awareness and presence.

Here, I share words in prose to introduce what the brilliance of something that we all have. Use breath as the conduit to hold presence. Use breath to calm and settle the mind; to open the path into your heart for what you know you must do. Let breath be the focus that you may free your mind to hold presence of your intuitive wisdom.

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

'ask dorothy' Be Honest With Yourself | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 47

There is a choice that we make at some early point in our developmental process. It often goes undetected. It is a point and space in time in which we distinctly forgo some or much of our innate confidence and the pure knowing of who we are and what is important to us in trade for what we are being taught in the replete messages in the world and through our caregivers; of how we are to be socially acceptable, how we are to best fit in, and to be approved of by others.

It is at this precipice that we put aside some of what we know to be true and begin a conversation in our mind that preempts what our heart is speaking. If we continue to live here; in the space and time of the world inside our mind and in the thoughts that we convincingly hold; we may build a life, influenced by what others have said and told us we must do, rather than what truth and integrity we hold from witnessing our inner landscape and the intimate portrayal of honesty and integrity that rivals nothing.

We all know how to live in our truth. We as a collective, and as a human race have moved in various degrees away from this; and some of us have dangerously ventured into a space that we have constructed in our mind that makes it okay to behave in ways that is self-governed in dishonest acts.

And yet there is always an inner honing device, called consciousness; that is resistant to what thoughts and convincing beliefs you may hold; that allows you the inner integrity of conscience.

At what age did you begin to compromise your truth to yourself by the thoughts that you told yourself and believed, and perhaps the thoughts that were once the words and messages spoken by others? At what time did you notice this and call it back; to live in the honest truth of what is?

My client is a high performer in every aspect of her life; and excels in all of her courses as well as the game of basketball and soccer to which she plays at an elite level.

As well, this client’s anxiety was a lot bigger than she ever admitted to. The stress of always needing to do her best in everything and to constantly compete with her peers in school and in sport, took its toll on her body beyond what she was able to comprehend.

Recently, she developed gastrointestinal problems that were exacerbated by anxiety. She had recently been scheduled for surgery to repair the damage of her bleeding ulcer.

In our most recent session, this client had an epiphany, when she allowed herself to say out loud, "I'm not honest with myself."

How many of us could or would admit this?

The Love of My Life 💜 The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 46 with Dorothy Ratusny

The release of this episode on Valentine’s Day; a day in which the world is reminded of the significance of romantic love and the ideals for what it means to be in a relationship and to be ‘in love’. For one of my clients who will for the first time in all of her 41 years, celebrate her Valentine’s Day in a love relationship and might I add, one that allows her to be all of herself and in the safety and security of trust that her partner will love her.

Her words echo the sentiment of so many: “I want to make a big deal of this.” We all aspire to love. It is what builds a beautiful and complete life. In the absence of love, of loving another, of loving our self, we wither; we succumb to loneliness, sadness; our mind and heart struggle to find meaning and fulfillment because love is the most powerful energy of the universe.

In this episode, I share the importance of love of yourself on a day inspired by love and at a time in which we are all being called to look beyond what we once put our energy and effort into, and to take stock of what is really important for the success, happiness and abundance that we all desire.

Plus: I share the three questions that you need to ask yourself, to have a great self-love affair:

'ask dorothy' You Are Not Alone | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 45

My client was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 18. Bouts of depression cycling with longer periods of manic episodes that resulted in a six-week hospital stay. There she met a wonderful psychiatrist who she would, some 7 years later, seek out; asking if she could try medication. Her life felt unstable and spiraling; and she did not feel like herself. The young female psychiatrist would help. Therein began a lengthy relationship of weekly or bi-weekly appointments and the ever important task of finding the right combination of medications to which needed my client’s due diligence to adhere to regularly. One of the many supports that my client was encouraged to seek out was Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She reminds me to this day of the story of seeing an article that I wrote for a local paper, together with a brief description on CBT and how it helps.

Fast forward to present day. My support and our work in therapy, together with the foundational pillars of: sleep, exercise, healthy eating, and a balanced schedule which includes 'alone time' and meditation, are what allows this client to live and thrive in the world (with a successful career, the raising of two wonderful teenagers, and the love of a husband who adores her). Many would say that she is a perfect example of how mental health requires ongoing support; of how important it is to have the love of family and friends; and to not feel judged.

Mental health is vital for living a happy and productive life. Many times my client has described how difficult it is for her to think clearly, to feel optimistic, and to be productive when she is in the throws of low affect. What so many of us take for granted; what we find easy and simple, becomes painfully difficult for her. Mental illness is caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Mental illness is hereditary. Support in the sharing of our experiences can help others to feel that they are not alone. It is important to remember that you are not alone; that you can get help; you can call on your tribe to help get you through the difficult moments that seem to last an eternity whilst building on your strengths and your ability to help yourself; to persevere, to find what works best; and to live disciplined to the pillars that reinforce what it means to be healthy. You can share your story so that others do not feel alone; so that you are reminded that your words can help.

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!

What Therapy Can Do For You. The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 44 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Theme Intro: 0-2:02 | My Introduction and What Therapy Can Do For You: 💜 2:03 | My Client's Diagnosis of Bipolar: 3:30 | Therapy is Far More Than Talking About the Past: 4:40 | The Two Positive Outcomes of Therapy That We Will Always Arrive at Together: 5:13 | Even After Healing Has Been Complete... 6:39 | Think of Therapy As a Healing Paradigm: 9:04 | Therapy Teaches You About Yourself: 11:05 | The Tools and Best Practices of Therapy: 18:17 | Three Reflective Questions PDF: 28:06 | Good Therapy Is... 23:22 | My Client: An Afterward: 28:56 | Podcast Theme Outro: 33:00 |

  • If you have ever wondered what a session of therapy could do, this episode is for you. - How does one identify, effectively all of the ways that therapy can be of help? How do we do this without embracing the experience itself when the idea of talking with someone can be overwhelming for some who don’t know where to begin, or how it can truly help?

TRUTH SERUM: In the past, the stigma associated with mental health has been a deterrent to seeking therapy. What we are witnessing now, in this turbulent time of ongoing change and uncertainty, and with millions of people all over the world, experiencing more alone time and isolation than in any other time during their life, the effects of prolonged stress and the lack of support of mental health strategies and skills needed to live a healthy and productive and happy life; make it important to have the best therapeutic practices that are accessible by all people and in all languages and as much as possible - affordable and or free.

REAL CLIENT STORIES: When my client (who was), diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 18, some 20 years later; is in a spell of low affect; when her cognitive ability is challenged; simple processing tasks are impeded. It is more difficult for her to make decisions for example, and to feel motivated to complete daily tasks. Her usual upbeat and larger than life personality becomes submersed in what is now a quiet and somber, depressed version of herself; one that lacks confidence, and is often tormented by thoughts of ‘being a burden’ to her loved ones. Her words to me in these moments as well as when she is feeling ‘like herself’ and happy again, are substantial to us all. She reaffirms the simple truth: ‘Your mental health means everything’. She is right.

A-HA MOMENTS: Therapy is far more than talking about a traumatic childhood event and reliving its scaring impact. In fact, the way that it helps best to deconstruct a past event or trauma is to examine it from an enlightened perspective; to understand the situation and the context in a way that allows for healing, forgiveness, acceptance, peace – and the idea that whatever happened, and for whatever was done “to you”, there are always going to be two positive outcomes that we will arrive at together. (1) The first is a more accurate comprehension and understanding of the situation and the new insights and discoveries that arise out of a search for greater meaning and from that, the ability to come to acceptance. Acceptance does not mean agreement with what has happened, but rather the willingness to acknowledge what has already occurred. This allows you to psychologically move into a place of action; of rendering what will be the action that you need to take whether as an approach to how you think or what physical actions will help support you best. (2) Second, healing occurs when you hold acceptance of ‘what is’; emotional, psychological, cognitive, spiritual, and often physical in the relief of symptoms that were once related to the situation of the past and your perspective of it. This healing is the return to your wholeness that you; that we all - are inherently seeking.

PRACTICAL WISDOM: Even after the majority of healing has been completed, therapy can continue to be a place where one experiences growth in other areas of one’s life; and hence the ripple effect of what it means to learn and discover more (about one’s self, including the different choices one may choose with greater understanding and perspective). As a side note, it’s not about making excuses for someone’s behavior, or disavowing your feelings and how you have been impacted by a situation or another. Rather, examining the past from the vantage point of a different perspective that I or another therapist can help with, brings new insight and awareness that allows for healing and to alleviate some or all of the pain and suffering that one may have been holding onto. ----more----

I’ve listed three reflective questions to get your started in your inner work here, in a free downloadable pdf. You may want to use these questions as journal prompts if you already have a journal writing practice in place. These questions will help guide you to know yourself even better and to take the steps of positive change. Get the PDF here

'ask dorothy' Do You Believe In Miracles? | A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 43 with Dorothy Ratusny

In a recent session, I witnessed a client’s state of pure joy; joy as authenticity and honesty; joy that is of elation and a natural altered state of pure consciousness. It was what I would describe as witnessing abundance; abundance of happiness, of gratitude; of the ability that we all have (and that she so beautifully demonstrated); to see everything in one’s life as significant and of precise purpose; and of the inherent ability to choose based on the deepest desires of our heart. Our session was also a testament to the simplicity of miracles that abound - everywhere. This entire session of 'miracle manifesting' was fun. It was different from the momentary enlightened state that clients often experience during a session; and as they begin to feel relief, inspiration, of purposeful action, and the reclaiming of their self and their life. I always look forward to the ’aha’ revelations and the moments of insight and discovery that fill one’s heart and mind with joy; joy that is found in the appreciation of life’s miracles abundant in all moments. “A shift in feeling; from fear, lack and uncertainty to love is the miracle that we all seek.” Your life, your state of being changes when you hold loving thoughts, kind thoughts, thoughts which allow you to embrace all of the good that you need to see and acknowledge in the world.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? What Is This All For? The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 42 with Dorothy Ratusny

A little disclaimer as we begin... What I am sharing is a belief that I hold and I share it to offer you something to consider. As you take in my answer, notice how it resonates with you. I hope that in listening, what I share can help you to arrive at your own best decisions and the outpouring of your inner wisdom.

This is the question that many of you have asked yourself others; perhaps a spiritual teacher, god, or what deity you believe in and pray to. In asking these questions about life, I believe we all may arrive at an answer that reflects a mutually beneficial perspective that includes kindness, generosity, compassion and love. I AM someone that has asked these questions: “What is the Meaning of Life?” and “What are we all here for?” I would contemplate further at varying times in my ongoing journey of seeking meaning and purpose. I listen and perceive if the answers that come through are different. I take notice; and I aim to live in the best possible way according to the ideals of being good and honourable, of treating others with kindness and care and as how I would like to be treated. Some days I do all of this amazingly; in other moments I falter. I am reminded of my humanness and I seek to make the corrections that are needed for living as my highest self. This is a perpetual goal that inspires a beautiful life. But there is more; the meaning of life – your life – has to come through you. If you are someone who has pondered this question, if you have decided what is important to you; maybe that is to be an engineer, to live and work on a ranch, to teach children, to be a dog groomer, a lawyer, a musician, an artist; then you have already decided some of what life will be for you. Here in this episode, my hope is to help you have even more clarity of the greater landscape - of what it is all for. The greater meaning of life is to live as the fullest expression of who and what you are. You are both physical and nonphysical; life force energy embodied in form. You live as the fullest expression of yourself as you know yourself best and as you choose a path and a vocation that allows you to live this expression through what you do (each day) and in how you choose to share who and what you are as a manifestation of the divine. It’s not only in what you do for a vocation that allows you to live as your highest self; but can you imagine (and many of you have done so) to choose an occupation, a job, a livelihood that you love and that enables you to live in a state of joy as you also earn a living and as you are of service to others. The most perfect expression of your nonphysical nature, actualized in physical form, is to be love. You can be love in any and all moments. You can also live the truest expression of yourself as you choose a job or vocation that allows you to live impassioned and inspired and in the ever constant experience of what you love; as you simultaneously give back to the world through your inherent (or ‘god given’) gifts and talents, and in acts of service, kindness, and grace (disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency).

  • I share a few hours of a story of my life; where the truest form of living to one's full expression made all the difference.

Please join me!

The Miracle of PEACE: A Meditation Experience for Inner Peace The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 40 ~ "From where do you derive peace?" ~

💜

TIMESTAMPS:

My Introduction to This Special Episode: 0-1:39 | Podcast Intro: 1:40 | A Question For You: 3:40 | From A State of Peace, You Become A Voice For Inciting Positive Change and Kindness: 5:02 | Each One Of Us Yearns to Feel Peace: 7:36 | If Peace Is Something That You Wish To Feel Far More: 9:46 | Your Experience of Inner Peace: Try This With Me💜 11:14 | Each Time You Wish to Feel Peace: 20:12 | Podcast Outro: 23:44

There are many examples of why we need more peace in the world; peace between countries and across nations, peace within our homeland; in our communities and amongst the people that we see and interact with daily; and of course peace with our loved ones.

What is needed for all of this to exist is peace in and of your heart; to be the greatest expression of what you are.

You find peace in your heart. You find peace in your heart so that you can walk in peace regardless of what others may say or do.

Here is a thought: 'The world is changing for the better.'

If you believe this then you will see this each time you look into the world; as you witness others; as you read and watch the news and as you find what is positive. From a state of peace, you become a voice for inciting positive change and for kindness.

You find peace first within you. Then, as you walk the planet in ways that illuminate peaceful measures, kind action, words of care, and presence of this moment for what this moment may offer and for what you demonstrate.

Peace originates within you; within each one of us. What if I suggested that peace is your inherent and natural state?

It is from where you make your best decisions. It is from where you hold a plan that is rooted in the certainty of your truth.

A state of peace is from where you may easily do the right thing; (to live in the most honourable and incredible way). From a state of peace you are inspired to always seek more in the context of following a path of what your heart desires and for being willing to do this for yourself.

Join me in this important dialogue and experience with me; a beautiful technique to elicit the inner peace you hold from within.

Be Kind First

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 39

with Dorothy Ratusny

It’s something that we all need to become better at as we seek to grow our consciousness; to live inspired by what fulfills us and evokes deeper meaning and purpose. TRUTH SERUM: When you practice kindness purposefully, you limit the focus on negativity, judgment, and criticism; you open your mind and your heart to what truly matters. For example, it matters far less if you are right or believe to be better than another. What matters is your honour; to be of your word, your light, to continue to do your best, to always seek self-improvement because this is what enables you to rise up; and to do the right thing, even when others may not choose so. A-HA MOMENTS: As you look forward; as you reflect upon the importance of what we all have experienced; a global pandemic, and a virus that is not going away; it is here; an inescapable reminder that we all must share the same values of loving-kindness, of honour and respect for ourselves and all living beings; of raising our consciousness and for being clear that it is no longer “okay” to cause damage; to cause suffering whether in our actions unto the environment and the planet, or in unkind and unloving thoughts, words and actions toward our self or any other living being. PRACTICAL WISDOM: In being reminded of what is most important in your life... choose kindness first. In returning to the importance of kind action, are you ready? Are you ready to seek to live this in all places in your life beginning with your mind influenced by the new thoughts that you choose to hold? Here I share an 'I AM' Mantra to open your heart to give and receive kindness and to help you in the moments when it may be difficult to be kind. Let me show you as we experience this together.

We also discuss the science of why kindness is so important; including its measurable impact on your DNA, your immune system, and the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain.

Join me for the science and the love of why you need to be kind - first.

The True Measure of Success is Your Character: It Is 'Who' You Are The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 38 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

My Introduction to This Episode and to 'Character' in a Rapidly Changing World: 💜 0-3:15 | Podcast Theme Music Intro: 3:16 | What is the Measure of Success That You Live By? 5:16 | Two Questions To Identify the Course of Your Life, Past and Present: 7:44 | The Attainment of Goals is Important: 11:01 | Success by This Inclusive Definition: 12:32 | In This New and Enlightened Approach to Success: 13:08 | To Feel Positive About Who You Are: 17:06 | Something That You Need In Your Toolbox: 21:36 | A Simple Practice to Anchor This New Way of Thinking About Success: 22:54 | The Absolute Ways That Success Makes You Even Better: 24:49 | Podcast Theme Music & Outro: 31:55 |

TRUTH SERUM: “Is it time to re-calibrate how you measure success?” Is your definition of success missing the most important and valuable element?

What if I suggested that to focus on this distinct and intrinsic measure of your success would make a great difference in how you looked at all of your present and future achievements and what would now be the driving and altruistic force behind what you seek to accomplish and why?

A-HA MOMENTS: Consider that the most valuable measure of success is your character, it is who YOU are; your positive beliefs (of which you stand for and live by), how you treat others, your ethics, your ability to be loving-kindness, and what you model and teach your children.

The true measure of your success is your character; it is who you are in all moments. It is these upstanding qualities, traits, and behaviours that impact how you feel about yourself. The beauty of this definition is that you have autonomy and the ability to recognize the moments in which you are not living this, and then to adjust accordingly; to return to this auspicious definition of true success.

PRACTICAL WISDOM: You can continue to strive for all of the typical and learned examples of what makes you successful; but in the end, if you do not like who you are, if you are not a kind and honest being with yourself and all others, how will you feel your inherent joy, your inner peace, your true confidence. How will you experience innate fulfillment, together with satisfaction, meaning, and purpose?

Join me as I share an evolved definition of success and the questions that you need to ask yourself before you set new goals, and as you “level up” to what matters most to you; and of what makes you a great success by the right measures.

This episode is one that you may wish to make some notes of as we go along; and as you formulate what will be your new definition and the model of success that you are excited to live.

Use the Wisdom of Your Heart for GOOD 'NEW YEAR, NEW WORLD, NEW GOODNESS' The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 37 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

My Introduction to This Episode: 💜 0-1:03 | Podcast Theme Music Intro: 1:04 | A Message of Empowerment: 2:59 | In the Decisions That You Make Each Day... 3:38 | Living as Your Authentic Goodness is... 4:29 | As You Pursue A Path That Is Meaningful: 7:01 | As a Spiritual and Practical Teaching: 7:56 | You Have the Power to Help Another: 9:39 | Your Challenge for This Week: 10:23 | A Practical Strategy to Help You Witness The Effects of Your Goodness: 13:32 | Podcast Theme Music & Outro: 16:03 |

TRUTH SERUM: As we boldly step into this brand new year, many of us carry the hope and our deepest commitment to make our life incredibly meaningful. You want to thrive in ways that you have never before; and so here, to open the space for all that you are willing to co-create, I encourage you to begin with all that you already are.

A-HA MOMENTS: Use your innate goodness to wield more; to rediscover your personal power; your dignity, your honour to yourself, to uphold the values that will allow you to live of your inherent goodness; and to teach others as you lead by example, and as you walk the planet knowing that you are far more incredible and amazing then you have ever known.

PRACTICAL WISDOM: This time, this year, your life begins with the wisdom of your heart - for all good. In this week’s episode, I share a message of empowerment; of how you may use all of what you already are, for good.

Living your authentic goodness is about living with honour of what you know to be sacred and true for yourself. It’s about making your life a succession of clear and right decisions that are aligned with truth; truth in what you know to be best and right for you; and to consider that for whatever religious and spiritual beliefs you hold, there is only one right path. You know right from wrong. This is arguably inherent to your innate capacity to live a life of freedom, of happiness and abundance.

All of the most important and desired experiences are derived from living congruent with your innate goodness; innate because this is what we are at our core. We only have to realize this and return to a life of distinct choices and actions based on our ability to be and live of this goodness.

'YES' is Your NEW MANTRA for the Upcoming Year! The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 36 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

My Introduction to This Episode: 💜 0-:32 | Podcast Theme Music Intro: 0:33 | Diving Into "YES!" 2:30 | Podcast Theme Music & Outro: 25:09 |

In this Episode, we boldly step into the New Year with a Mantra and a plan of action, in which you embrace all that is possible; and all that is already on its way to you. Find a comfortable place as you settle in; as you hold gratitude and as you embrace a NEW MANTRA; a new perspective; and a new vision for the upcoming year in your life.

TRUTH SERUM: For wherever you are as you join me, let this new practice of setting mantras, ground you in the witnessing of your life right here, and right now. Perhaps you will close your eyes and allow yourself to take in the presence of this. Take a deep breath bringing it all of the way into your lungs. Anchor these feelings of presence in your body. What are you most grateful for in this moment? One thing... one thing...

A-HA MOMENTS: Say it aloud; let your ears hear your words. “Feel what your gratitude gives you.” Feel the abundance of this feeling throughout your being. Notice the feelings that arise with your gratitude. Now to express your gratitude aloud with the words ‘Thank you’. Say this out loud, ‘thank you’ ‘thank you’ thank you’. Say ‘thank you’ for what you have just spoken. Where within your body, do you feel your gratitude? Know that you are co-creating more of the same whenever you hold gratitude of something.

PRACTICAL WISDOM: Sometimes my gratitude spoken aloud is for that for which is all-encompassing. (For example, to be thankful for my life as a whole). At other times, my gratitude is more specific. "Thank you for the sunshine, the fresh beautiful air that I may breathe; for what I love to do and for what brings me much joy each day." Sometimes your reflections of gratitude can be very precise. For example, "Thank you for this wonderful freshly roasted cup of coffee." or "Thank you for the wonderful day I had making cookies with my sister."

With yourself, grounded, centered, and present; I offer some words of wisdom to guide you in the upcoming year; to say ‘YES’ to more in your life; to more of what you want; to more inspiration and love, to more happiness; to laughter, to presence, and spontaneity. Say ‘YES’ to feeling so much joy and awe that tears run down your face. Say ‘YES’ to your health and to what healthy eating feels like as fuel for your body. Say ‘YES’ to finding the good in others, in speaking of others in ways that leave you feeling uplifted. Say ‘YES’ to self-love, and to the personal growth that you have been waiting to do. Now is the time.

Let me show you how to bring your miracles into the light of day; to do this with all of your 'big ticket items', dreams, and life goals, as well as to manifest what I call “daily miracles”; and the six secrets (and steps) for how to do this. 🌟

A Time of Acceptance The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 34 with Dorothy Ratusny

“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to acknowledge what you must accept and to do your best to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” - dorothy ratusny

How do you practice acceptance in your relationships?

Here I share an important best practice that allows you to have healthy relationships without needing to change or fix another person; rather the impetus is on you giving to yourself what you have been looking for in another. This means that you no longer need to hold expectations of another that they cannot meet.

Acceptance is the understanding; the ability and need to allow another to be as they are; to soften into this and to meet them right where they are choosing to be. This doesn’t mean that you must have a relationship with this person or any other; rather it means that you no longer give so much of yourself in vain.

Acceptance is liberation. It frees you. You free yourself from the need to change another or a situation when your kind efforts have been in vain. Not everyone is ready. Not everyone is willing. Not everyone is able to be relieved from the thoughts that hold them back.

The WISDOM of LIFE + a Prose Meditative Experience

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 33 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Branded Intro: 0-2:10 | Intro to This Episode Experience: 2:11 | A Meditative Prose: 3:46 | Episode Offerings and Your Home Practice: 30:42 | Podcast Outro: 35:41

In this week’s episode, I am sharing something a little different.

Here I have scripted a meditative prose (a prose meditation is helpful to induce creative thinking, inspiration, and self-awareness.) meant to illuminate guidance and to be a spiritual metaphor for this time in your life. I invite you to listen; to take in these words, your eyes may be open or closed, your heart open to receive what insight and love you feel. This is an experiential episode.

You only need to let it touch your heart and your mind in ways that will allow you to open more to all of the perfection of life unfolding all around you. 💜

Life shows you replete examples that you can trust in its perfect nature to provide and sustain all things. For as long as you are here, be in its faithful promise. Your heart, when aligned with what inspires you; is this ever-present miracle that is what you are; and as you witness all of life around you, this becomes the inspiration of your heart.

Nature will always gift you with perfect wisdom; it will help remind you of the nature of life as it exists within you also. This is its solemn wisdom.

Allow yourself to witness all that you need to know through your senses; all that nourishes you daily to act upon; to love, to deeper mystery, to hope and the contemplation of more.

Feel comforted here in the perfect nature of your heart and your longing to witness all of eternity; here in the space, in the light of what you are; in the glorious ways that you love; and in the sacred moments of life that you are willing to appreciate; and all of the bounty and love that you live now.


Let the wisdom of life guide you into the depths of your inner being; to awaken your presence, your light; to marvel at the path you are living by choice; to align yourself with your highest intentions in truth and of your desired goals first seen inside you mind; then witnessed in the gentle outpouring of life that manifests.

If You Don't Like To Be Alone, This Is What You've Been Missing... Three Secrets to Never Feel Lonely The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 32 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Branded Intro: 0-1:33 | If You Are Someone Who Has Been Suffering With Loneliness: 2:22 | The FIRST SECRET to Never Feel Lonely: 3:21 | The SECOND SECRET to Never Feeling Lonely: 11:57 | This Time of a Global Pandemic Has Taught Us... 13:45 | Living is Anticipation; It is Enjoyment: 17:22 | Examples of What Nourishes and Supports You: 18:35 | The THIRD SECRET to Never Feel Lonely: 19:35 | Helpful Resources: 23:30 | Podcast Outro: 25:54

Here I offer valuable strategies, and recommendations to implement for each of these three best practices; so that you will have the secrets to never feel lonely again; because the goal is to always enjoy the experience and the company of being alone (with yourself). Throughout this time of a global pandemic, there have been many illuminating ‘aha’ revelations that you, that I, that we all have come to witness. One resounding and common ‘voice’ that I have heard echoed by so many is the feeling of loneliness that has been exacerbated by the critical state of lock down; now something that we are again experiencing at the time of writing this, and throughout many parts of the world; coupled with the accumulative months of continued social distancing and self-isolating. But does loneliness have to be our existence? If you are someone who has been suffered with loneliness; if you do not like being alone with yourself, I invite you to think about the reasons why. Do you feel loneliness even as you live with others? Have you considered what the psychological and emotional impact is of prolonged loneliness and isolation, and what you can do to eradicate this? Even if you live alone, you don’t have to feel disconnected and lonely. Please join me for this heartfelt and warming reminder of how you don't need to feel lonely and alone. 💜

The Illumination of All Things The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 31 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Introduction to Podcast: 0-1:33 | Preface to the Episode: 1:34 | Episode 31 - The Illumination of all Things: 3:57 | Podcast Outro: 12:40

"Illumination is the light of the world. It is energy alive in all living beings. It is up to us to illuminate the path of true freedom; our hearts open in witnessing the perfection of life." - dorothy ratusny

This episode is particularly special for what it offers of hope, and of the messages in which to renew your life; to awaken to your intuitive voice and to live free. Freedom is not bound by physical movement or a lack thereof, but how you think and feel; how you see everything both with eyes and in sensing using your heart.

This episode is also important to us at this time in our lives when we must not forget what we are capable of as an individual and as a collective. You must illuminate your path in order to walk with confidence towards what is most wanted. You may not have all of the pieces known to you and yet, what matters most is your willingness to live in the freedom of your choice and to decide everything.

Let this prose inspire your choices made with your heart wide open. Let yourself use these words to inspire conscious thought, inner contemplation and to live of your goodness. This is how you live in light and enlightened. "You are this light. Be willing to live of it deliberately."

CONFIDENT DECISION MAKING USING YOUR HEART INTELLIGENCE The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 30 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Introduction to Podcast: 0-1:32 | In This Episode... 1:36 | What I Teach 2:10 | When You Use Your Heart Intelligence: 5:50 | In The New Field of Neurocardiology: 6:29 | In a Session of Therapy or Coaching: 9:11 | Let Me Demonstrate: 10:25 | A Real Life Client Story: 20:30 | Your Heart 'Inspired' Communication: 24:07 | Your Home Practice: 25:21 | Podcast Outro: 26:38

“We need to shed the limitations we hold, driven by our human condition and instead live purely of our heart.” - dorothy ratusny

In this episode, I share how to know what is true and right for you; and how to get clarity of what is wanted and important using the wisdom of your heart, so that you can accelerate the speed by which you manifest.

While I teach the principles of CBT which is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other forms of therapy (such as ACT and DBT), I also use another highly effective means to help my clients connect inward; to listen to and experience communication with their inner being; what I may call their highest self; and to use this inner wisdom as a guiding source of inspiration and light for what they seek. This is a form of enlightenment; the ability to know and be able to access your innate potential as your nonphysical nature and without the barriers of limiting thoughts or beliefs. Read more about therapy here: https://www.dorothyratusny.com/the-truth-about-therapy-top-myths-ending-the-mental-health-stigma/

We hear the word enlightenment and may think of it as associated with a religious or spiritual person living in a monastery or remotely atop a mountain; largely in solitude; perhaps devoted to silence, meditation and prayer; but true enlightenment is the ability to live in your light; in your truth and in the power of this to live awake and aware. This is also what I teach.

This means that you can have an ‘aha moment’ in a session with me – an awakening – a stepping out of the ‘matrix’ and into truth; realization, and the acknowledgement of something that you have or have not been doing; and that this expression; this often literal ‘aha’ that opens you to witnessing what is true; your truth – this is a moment of enlightenment.

It’s akin to flipping the light switch in a room that is pitch black; to now be able to see everything clearly. And, once you see and know what is, there is no turning back or pretending that you do not know; the change has been made; you have this enlightened perspective to use for your highest good.

This form of enlightenment is experienced as seeing everything with conscious awareness; your mind and heart open. You as the observer, are able to witness your thoughts and actions from the vantage point of awareness, insight, and discovery.

Accessing this heart centered inner wisdom may be experienced quite easily; it may take some practice to feel your confidence grow in what you are reading and witness to, however the experience of following your intuition or your heart is something that we have all done; often without naming it as so.

What follows next is the experience of your heart intelligence as I guide you in this technique; much like as if you were in a session together with me. I also share one real life client story of how utilizing your heart intelligence is life altering.

BECOMING 'MORE' The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 29 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Introduction to Podcast: 0-1:31 | BECOMING MORE is... 1:49 | How Do You Become More? 2:17 | We Are Hardwired for Evolution: 7:23 | MORE is the difference Between Doing What You Have Always Done and Doing Something BETTER: 8:29 | BECOMING MORE... 10:00 | Our Nature Is To Expand: 13:35 | You Are Already On A Path Of Being More 16:15 | Practical Wisdom and Tips: 18:07 | Your Homework Practice: 21:03 | Podcast Outro: 22:19

"Becoming more is the expansion of your consciousness.” It is meant to be confidence building; akin to seeking out a new experience that you are excited for. 'Becoming more' is the path of freedom, life fulfillment and perpetual happiness.” It is your ever-present gift and eternal choice to always seek and become ‘more’. How do you become more? What does this mean in a tangible way? Do you think about ‘being more’ as applicable to your life? and Is there a ‘more’ that you wish to be? I believe we’ve all had this experience; of seeking to become better in some aspect of our life, or as who we are. What guides this desire and what perpetuates the motivation and discipline to see yourself through? And of course, what drives your need to be more? ‘More’ is the conscious desire of your heart; to be and live as the very best version of yourself, and in every moment. In my work with clients, it is always a joy to take them beyond what they initially sought my help with. This is of course, completely their choice. But what typically happens after we resolve and complete what initial issue or problem that they sought help for, is the fun of self-empowerment, liberation from what thoughts and beliefs have held back, and the experience of attaining what is truly important. ‘More’ is about not accepting mediocrity. It's not about comparing yourself to others, but rather being inspired by others so that you can set out to be more for yourself. It’s about challenging yourself to be all that you really want and to no longer make excuses that you “can’t”; that it’s “too difficult”; and that how you are “is good enough”. I am not talking about pushing yourself towards an unhealthy or impractical ideal, or to strive towards what you think you need to have because others have this. More is anything that you define to be important enough for you and for your greater happiness and that you are willing to go after. More is a deliberate path of self-evolution that we are all encouraged to live by nature; that allows us to thrive in the world; to seek new experiences, opportunities and yes also material things. Yet the primary reason to pursue more is to like and love yourself first. Namaste! 💜

A Time of Revolution The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Bonus Episode with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Introduction to Podcast: 0-2:11 | An Introduction to What You Are About to Hear: 2:14 | The Episode: 5:13 | Your Directives to Begin Now: 11:15 | Podcast Outro: 11:54

In this BONUS episode of The WISDOM podcast, I am sharing what I wrote earlier this summer. As with all of my free flowing conscious streams of inspiration; this one was written after my own meditation practice and time in nature. However at the time, I put this writing aside. Even the name 'A Time of Revolution' did not feel as though it was yet ready to be 'birthed' into the world - until now. This time in all of our lives, is one in which we are being called to mobilize ourselves to positive action. This revolution is one of peaceful action, joy, the discovery of human connection when we all help one another, and as we have faith in this plan for a better life.

TRUTH SERUM: This revolution is one of kindness; of certainty to our sacred calling as what we choose to do in our lives; to share our talents, to be unwavering in our cause; to be determined in our choices, to live in freedom, and to make the best choices that will honour our human spirit and will set in motion what we are grateful of. This life and what we are being shown is wonderful. When we can get past what feels uncomfortable, we can remind our self of the inherent beauty in what we may appreciate, and in what we choose. A-HA MOMENTS: The revelation is first within. It begins as an 'aha moment' - an awakening - a settling into what our needs yearn for. The revelation is to listen to our heart overflowing in joy, in anticipation, in excitement, in the promise of all things and in the peace that finds us whole and of our inner right. PRACTICAL WISDOM: There is no more war when we all live in peace; when we learn how to work together, to collaborate, to make concessions, to compromise, to be kind and respectful, to find the best possible solution as leaders of a city, a country; and as we come together in anticipation of our wonder and light.You have this knowledge; this ability deep within you; this eternal wisdom that rises up to honour what you have chosen; what you receive, what you offer, and what you choose to love.

The wonder of love; your wonder - your light resides within you. It is also a choice, a sacred and conscious choice that you make each day to live of this light; to shine brightly of this, or to live shrouded in darkness; darkness that has no power except over you - keeping your light well hidden, holding you back from your greatness. This light is what gives you hope; it is what builds for you the greatest source of comfort, knowing how you may access your eternal power; your truth, your privilege to live of this light. This is the revolution that we all might witness now; that we must rise up to; that we must hold deliberate if we are to live a love-filled life in the oneness of what we truly are. Ask yourself this question: Am I ready to live what I have wanted? Ask. Let your truth rise up to give you this answer. Let this truth be the revolution of your heart yearning for more; for greatness, for pleasure in the light of day. The light that you hold waiting to be released, to be transformed into the most deliberate and beautiful form... of your heart.

This revolution and the revolution of love that we all must live is what opens our heart; nourishes our need to be of service and to nourish our self. This revelation is what will sustain our future as we choose to walk the planet in unity and peace, in forgiveness and in raising global consciousness to act of our perfect nature to live in harmony, to rise up to what we have been called to do; to be love in action.

This is our biggest and most affirming quest. This is the revolution of our heart - your heart - open to love and to be of love to yourself and to all others and to be this now.

Namaste! 💜

Spiritual Abundance The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 28 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Theme Intro: 0-2:10 | Our Current Times and Life Will hold: 2:11 | If You Have Been on a Sacred Path to Manifest Abundance: 3:52 | The Episode: 5:22 | A Little More Love + Let Me Help: 13:51 | Podcast Theme Outro: 14:58

In this episode we dive into what makes it possible for you to have spiritual abundance. What does this mean and what does spiritual abundance look like? Why is it important at this time and as you are listening – more than ever before? Namaste! 💜

TRUTH SERUM: I wrote this episode as a spiritual teaching. It is true to form regardless of what spiritual and religious beliefs you hold. It is to help you find your right path and to live in abundance. A-HA MOMENTS: All of us are now navigating a very different life. What welcomes you to what you have always wanted is your consistent desire of it; and of the clarity that helps invite you towards what you seek and what begins a path into self-acknowledgement; that is, you begin to witness the other possibilities for your life that were not before considered. PRACTICAL WISDOM: How do you hold presence for your life? What makes your life this incredible outpouring that renders what you witness as remarkable? All of us are beautifully connected even if we do not always see it as so. Our lives and the interactions that bring new experiences, guidance, help and wisdom are also the most perfect examples of how you treat one another and how you live yourself.

"You Are Forgiven" The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 27 with Dorothy Ratusny

These are the words spoken to offer you a clean slate; to remind you that for anything that you have ever said or done, for whatever has happened, for anything that you continue to blame yourself for – that you are forgiven.

What if this were possible?

Would it change how you feel about yourself?

Would you be able to let go of; to shed some or perhaps all of what has caused you to feel guilty, alone, sad, sorrowful; remorse or regret?

Can complete forgiveness directed towards yourself for every unkind or hurtful word or action, for every envious, angry, critical thought that you’ve held; be a positive step – or even the solution to break free of what holds you back?

I recently tried this experience for myself as an experiment to witness what rises up immediately to the notion that I am forgiven; that complete forgiveness is possible. It is entirely feasible and in fact it is a long awaited secret to healing yourself and feeling whole.

This is what we all intrinsically seek. We all want to feel whole and this is why we go in search of it; whether consciously or subconsciously.

Join me in this Episode for a certain and radical way to free yourself; and to experience self-love and wholeness.

💜 Namaste! xo

'BODY LOVE' NOW A Guided Meditation and Visualization

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 26 with Dorothy Ratusny

"I seek to wish what I have always known; that beauty and love begin in the heart." - dorothy ratusny

TRUTH SERUM: This is an extraordinary way to improve your body image as you hold gratitude and love; and as you awaken the power of manifesting and metamorphosis, and great healing.

A-HA MOMENTS: To truly love your body as it is, begins the journey into wholeness. This meditation on how to love and appreciate your body comes at a time when we all may seek greater presence in the witnessing of our perfect nature as we are; through eyes of eternal gratitude rather than judgment and criticism.

PRACTICAL WISDOM: Even as you may seek to improve upon aspects of yourself, the secret is to appreciate and witness the perfection of your body as it is now.

Experience it for yourself. Let this be a practice that supports and nourishes you deeply; for the rest of your life.

Real Love The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 25 with Dorothy Ratusny

In this episode, we dive into the many reasons why you need love; why we all go in search of it; why it becomes a deliberate focus and calling; and how it enables you to thrive; that you might step out into the world each day, knowing with certainty, that someone; that others - have your back; that you are cared for and important, and that your life matters.

Real love is different from what you typically think of when speaking about romantic or familial love.

Real love is the unconditional and continuous flow of unquestionable care; (care meaning that you care about the other person’s well being and that you hold empathy and compassion towards them for situations that may cause them to suffer); that you are kind, considerate, non-judgmental; that you are respective, forgiving (that is... not allowing someone to continue to hurt you and cause harm, but forgiving as you retain healthy boundaries and choices that honour your needs and safety); and acceptance; of validating the worth of another through your appreciation and encouragement of them because within them exists the same possibility and potential that exists within you.

The idea that we can love another human being or any living being without conditions means that another person is not required to be or do exactly as what we decide they should (or ought to). Real love is the ability to honour the goodness of another; their perfect inner nature and their ability to be love in action.

You can provide perspective, insight and honesty to another to help them on their journey; but with the understanding that they must rise up to live as their highest self by their own free will choice.

This means finding the good in those that you have easily found fault with or who have let you down; or who have willingly harmed you by their words or actions. That's quite a lot to ask of our self; to hold loving kindness towards another whom we may not even like.

In this way, love is love of the present aspects of another; it is love of humanity because we all have the capacity for goodness (even if we do not always choose this). We all have the free will choice that brings us into a state of heightened awareness and to act from this conscious and inspired state that seeks to do the right thing; to live just and honourably because that is how we ultimately feel at our best.

Witness the generosity of your spirit; that you, that each one of us is capable of; to see the good in another even as we may also witness what inner struggles and uncertainty they may also hold.

How you do this is through your conscious decision to love all living beings for their goodness; and to be willing to see the good in others even when at that very moment, they are not acting of their good.

“We all have the ability to live as love; as love in action. It begins with a choice. You must decide it.”

How You Witness Infinite Beauty The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 24 with Dorothy Ratusny

‘Align yourself with your heart. This is how you witness infinite beauty.’ - dorothy ratusny

These words are a brief and beautiful summation of what you will hear in this episode.

Here I share the most simple, yet powerful means of instantly changing your perspective; your mindset and any mood or feeling that is unwanted. It is this: to hold presence and to witness the beauty in all of life circling you.

Many of the topics that I speak about in this podcast have become the poignant messages and timely topic for my videos on YouTube. It can be a helpful to have a listen here and then check out the video on this topic.

In this episode, I build further on the practice of presence that I spoke about last week; and of how you can apply this practice as a way of living life; to help you overcome feelings of anxiety and panic, anger, sadness, fear, and to help you navigate in a productive way whenever you are overwhelmed with the unknown and consistent change that continues for us all.

But here I share something new; a new approach and a best practice, to live your life, and to diminish any and all of the unpleasant thoughts and feelings that you may be mired in.

When you stop and hold presence in this moment, and as you take a mindful look around you; eyes open, senses aware and awake, you find the beauty in what you see.

Wherever you are; it could be in nature in awe of natural beauty; it could be gazing out your window, taking a few minutes from your computer to look up, to notice, to be attentive to what you are aware of; to hold presence in your mind and body to whatever is before you. The strategy; the practice is to hold presence; to allow it to reveal what you need to see; to feel; to know. That’s all.

"Holding presence is one of the most simple acts next to breathing." - dorothy ratusny

This is perhaps the most simple and yet profound means of instilling what beauty is present in each moment of life; if you choose to see it; to look for it; to appreciate it as it finds you in the most simple things. This way of holding presence allows you to feel thankful, gratitude and in appreciation of what you notice.

Finally, I would love for you to experience a guided meditation that helps you to witness the beauty in all of life. I will leave a link in the episode notes of which you can the download the meditation. This meditation titled, The Infinite Beauty Of Life: A Prose Meditation. It also lives on my website in the Wisdom Archives if you wish to listen there.

Your heart open is a simple offering of presence; of witnessing yourself and what is around you and of this moment. It is a way for you to hold peace in your heart as you make your way back into ‘now’. There is nothing else ‘to do’ except return to now.

Here in now, you might challenge yourself to find beauty – beauty in ‘what is’, not in needing anything to be different. Beauty in the simple joys of life; and the simple abundance of all that is. Whenever your mind is preoccupied with so much ‘to do’.

"Presence embodies both mindfulness and a meditative focus that allows the mind to witness; to be the observer of what you become aware of." In this episode of the WISDOM podcast, I dive into the practice of presence; of what it means to experience it; of how to 'hold' presence to what is in front of you; how to become a witness to everything unfolding in the absence of judgment; and to examine presence from the perspective of your nonphysical self.

TRUTH SERUM: Presence is your witnessing of what 'is', in this moment; in both your external environment and the infinite space of what you are as you look within. A-HA MOMENTS: To hold presence is to become a oneness with everything. PRACTICAL WISDOM: Develop a practice of presence as you take stock in what is important right now; and as you allow everything else to be – to be right here for you when you are ready to return to it. Then slowly everything gives away as you focus on the presence of this moment.

A Beautiful Guided Meditation of Self-Care

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 22

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Intro: 0-2:10 | Why Self-Care is More Important Than Ever: 2:12 | You Excel When You Live in Balance and Self-Care: 3:27 | The Self-Love WISDOM toolkit for the Best Self-Care Practices: 3:59 | Honour Your Relationship With Yourself: 4:35 | Experience the Single Most Powerful Tool to Nourish You: 5:25 | Self-Care Meditation: 6:26 | Episode Final Notes: 46:34 | Podcast Outro: 47:23

Right now and for whenever you may be listening, self-care is more important than ever. We need to know the tangible ways in which to nurture and care for our self and to know that this is an integral part of what sustains optimal mind, body, and spiritual health.

You, I, we all... have had moments where our body and mind begins to shut down, whether because of an emotional overload, or because of physical exhaustion.... yet have we done anything to circumvent this by our deliberate action; and because we have been able to sense a need and then to give that need to our self?

TRUTH SERUM: When you shut down, you may look to your well practiced vices for giving you a boost; for allowing you to numb out or escape or push past what is healthy, to continue working hard; but ultimately, and the most successful and high achieving performers in all genres of life; know this; you excel when you live in balance and self-care and the nourishment that comes with the actions of self-love. You can be performing at a high level, but still live in balance; because of care, of attending to what the body and mind and the nonphysical spirit need in order to be in harmony; and to be one.

I’ve developed an entire program – a wisdom toolkit – consisting of the best self-care practices and a self care assessment that delivers the goods on what areas of your life are in need of care and nourishment right now. It is an extensive source of guiding wisdom for you to learn and practice self-care and self-love as an essential part of life. I will leave information on this for you right here: The Self-Love WISDOM toolkit

In a time when we are being asked and indeed forced to spend more time with our self and without many of the typical distractions that cause us to disconnect, self-care is overlooked. It has not been deemed important or truly necessary – perhaps until now.

A-HA MOMENTS: Your most important relationship has always been with yourself. Discover this – honour this, learn this and you will awaken a most incredible source of wonder and inner light that you have ever known.

Here, I invite you to get started. Use this beautiful guided meditation.

PRACTICAL WISDOM: Here, you experience not only the single most powerful tool to help nourish you and to support your body’s infinite capacity for self healing and homeostatic balance, but you are guided into a journey in which to heal right now for whatever your body has needed; for whatever you have been neglecting, for what you need now.

Give yourself this time – this 30min – to witness the power of self-care through visualization, inner contemplation, and acts of self kindness and love. I will be right here with you every step of the way. Give this to yourself.

Sending you all of my love... Namaste! xo

The Experience of JOY The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 21 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Intro: 0-1:31 | JOY defined... 1:34 | Remember What Life Is Truly About: 2:02 | What Joy IS: 3:49 | My Hope As You Listen... 3:40 | Your Childlike Wonder: 5:40 | Connect With Your Inner Child As A Direct Path to Joy: 6:12 | How To Live Each Day In JOY: 9:54 | In Your Life Right Now, You Will Need... 11:33 | Helpful Links and Resources to Open Your Heart to JOY: 13:12 | Podcast Outro: 14:14

"Joy is a privilege that you nestle your heart into; that you live as the sweet wonder of life ever present, ever flowing. It is what you seek to live as; it is the wonder of your presence, your enjoyment, your glory, your love." - Dorothy Ratusny

Perhaps it was the latent effects of summer as I was scripting this episode that reminded of the playful nature of our lives that is always within our reach. In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I invite you to revisit what simple pleasures you may curate in life's daily experiences that will allow you to witness joy; to revel in its beautiful presence; calling you by name; ushering in the gentle reminder that love and joy are your eternal birthright.

Here we dive into just how joy may be witnessed in far more moments of your life; how you may easily go in search of it to fill you with wonder and appreciation, and to remind you of the importance of joy experienced often.

"Your life is meant to be joy. There is joy in appreciation so that even when things happen; as life preambles death; you can still witness the experience of joy deep within your heart. Joy is what you are each time you live out of your heart; each time you allow your heart to guide your choices and decisions." - Dorothy Ratusny

In this episode, I'd like to remind you of how simple it is to witness joy; to be joyful, to change your state of being so that you can witness life through the eyes of your childlike wonder; reminding you of what simple measures it is to witness and curate moments of joy in your life, and in the lives of others.

I'm going to leave some helpful links here to help you practice living "in joy" and to feel your heart open to receive joy. And of course, joy is always so easily found in the yearnings of your inner child; what your inner child - perhaps also your adult self, yearns for. Follow this and it will lead you into joy. If you would like more help with this; with the witnessing of your heart open to joy; please reach out to me. I am always here to help. Namaste!

The Miracle of INSPIRATION + A Guided Meditation

Season 2 Episode 19 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny

timestamps:

Podcast Intro 0-2:10 | What is Inspiration? How do we witness it? 2:11 | What if life could be a playground of innate wonder? 3:09 | Guided Meditation of Inspiration 5:32 | Podcast Outro 32:25 |

Inspiration is what you feel through your senses; through taking in the beauty of life that you are willing to notice; and by allowing your heart open in delight, in wonder, in the deliberate choosing of your soul to be stirred; to cultivate presence, and to flow with the deliberate joy that you are witness to.

In this meditation on inspiration; the sixth and final of this Meditation Series here on The WISDOM podcast, we delve into one of the most pleasant human experiences. Together with the previous week's episodes of hope, forgiveness, compassion, self-love, and peace, inspiration illuminates the path for living from you heart; from living fluid; mind and heart aligned toward the sacred action that will manifest into form; birthing inspired thought paradigms into what creative pursuits become the beauty and inspirations of your life.

I invite you to join me for the next several moments as we settle in and as you allow your heart to live 'wide open' to the miracle of inspiration as I guide you through an experience of awakened light and conscious thought - inspired by the willingness of your soul in constant communication with you.

Hope For All Things Incredible

Season 2 Episode 18 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny

This episode is the 5th in a 6-part special meditation series that I so thrilled to offer you. Perhaps after listening here, you will feel inspired to check out the other meditations in this series and to hold more hope; for what is most wanted of your future; hope for beauty and grace you call into your life; hope that you will hold the courage and dedication that you need to begin a path back into yourself; for feeling inspired, for living authentic and true to yourself.

Hope aspires in us the courage and belief to carry on, to continue; to never give up on what is so important. This is how you ensure it or something better will always show up.

You can have hope, but never take action; or take action filling your life with busy 'ness' and without the guiding hope that brings conviction and lights a path of what matters most.

Your journey into hope begins here. If you have asked for more hope; if you have wished for it; to feel hopeful - to let hope guide and inspire your life as you take what steps are needed to bring you what is most wanted.

Forgiveness IS a Conscious Choice

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 17 with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Intro: 0-1:33 | An Introduction to this Episode: Part Four in a Series of Six of Beautiful Guided Meditations: 1:14 | How Forgiveness Liberates You: 4:26 | A Prose Meditation on Forgiveness: 6:08 | Podcast Outro: 28:07

In this part four of a six-part series of beautiful guided meditations, we journey into forgiveness; we allow it to be a conscious and deliberate choice that frees us from suffering.

Forgiveness ignites the heart to heal the body because when we forgive our self and others, we clear our need for incessant thought, thought that is mired in angst; thought that holds contempt, induces sadness and despair; thought that invokes a nervous response and the bearing of inner turmoil that immobilizes our ability to function.

Forgiveness is freeing. Be clear; it is not about agreement but rather acceptance. We will be in agreement with some of our past actions or the words and actions of others, but you can acknowledge that you are not choosing to repeat this.

Acceptance allows you to find your way into change; into surrender for what you may not change, but to acknowledge that what you choose in this moment is different.

We need forgiveness to thrive; to allow old habits, mistakes, even intentional wrong doings a place to die; to be released from our ether.

Forgiveness reminds us of our ability to shed the past, not carry it; to no longer judge another or ourselves on who we were yesterday, last month or 17 years earlier. Yes, some people do repeat the same behaviours and continue to hold the same limiting beliefs, but you have a choice.

We all can choose to acknowledge what is needed; to change for the better, to be what we are all capable of; that is kindness, love, compassion, goodness and each moment of our lives we are always choosing.

My suggestion is that you choose deliberately not out of habit or as a function of going through the motions, but because you know the power of your free will choice - and you have already decided that you desire to be free; you deserve what it means to hold forgiveness in your heart for yourself; for whatever wrong doings have caused another to feel less than, diminished in importance; hurt by your actions or judgment.

You have the ability to forgive, you need to choose this first. To forgive another or yourself is to liberate you from the pain and damage of what is already past, over, complete.

Now in the present moment you will decide whether you wish to continue to bear this emotional, physical, psychological and even spiritual suffering, or if you will decide that you want to instead feel peace.

Please join me for this very special episode on forgiveness, and for the Guided Meditation that will heal your heart.

Compassion IS LOVE

Season 2 Episode 16 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Intro: 0-2:08 | An Introduction to this Episode: Part Three in a Series of Six of Beautiful Guided Meditations: 2:14 | An Introduction to Compassion: 3:13 | Kindness and Love is so Powerful: 4:09 | When You Offer Yourself Compassion... 4:28 | There are Many Reasons to Practice Compassion: 5:23 | A Prose Meditation on Compassion 9:56 | Podcast Outro: 35:56

In this part three of a six-part series of beautiful guided meditations, I invite you to open your heart and your mind; to witness yourself and the world in ways that remind you of how kind and peaceful your presence can be; how soothing and comforting your actions are for yourself and others, when you choose to walk in your life with greater presence of what it means to hold compassion; to be compassionate towards yourself and all others, for this is how you are 'love in action'.

Special for this series, I have written a new meditation on the practice of compassion; and of how you may instinctively be of compassion to yourself and others.

There is no greater offering when someone is less fortunate or suffering than to be compassionate; to feel for them and their situation because this is how you offer care and kindness.

Compassion is love. It is in being compassionate that others are able to feel your genuine concern for their well being; and to hold even for a few moments, the space and the opportunity for them to know that they are not alone.

Your kindness and love is so powerful. It is this sacred action of compassion that allows others to rise up, to be heard, to heal, to take the right action for themselves. When you offer yourself compassion, you breathe in giving yourself patience to recognize where you are in your life; and you choose to offer unto yourself this gift of kind reverence; of patience and comfort, of understanding, of reassurance that you are not alone; that you will feel better; that kindness directed within is how you help move yourself into a state of peace, responsibility to what is needed and comfort in the knowing of your presence.

This IS a Self-Love Movement

Season 2 Episode 15 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny

In this episode, I've been inspired to share what I am naming The Self-Love Movement; because we all need to reclaim self-love; we need to understand what it means and we need to live it - as one solution for growing our confidence and self-worth and for being willing to live self-sustainably and of our ‘truth’; and in the present moment because this is how we witness our innate happiness.

Here’s an important secret: All of us face the same challenges. You might suspect that our common challenge is related to finances, or whether we are loved; or if we have the right job, or if we have chosen the best partner?

These are also challenges of the physical world that we may have made our reality.

Here’s the thing: Innate happiness is not attached to any ‘thing’. Rather it’s what you feel as you live of the present moment + this feeling is perpetuated as you make a commitment to yourself to live with your heart open, free in giving of your kindness and love to others and to yourself.

Happiness is not attached to a thing, or a person, or to you bank account; to what you own, to what you child says or does; its about acknowledging who you are; and living and loving the being that you are.

This is why we choose to do the work – the inner work – of our self. It’s to free us from harbouring pain and hurt of the past; to make peace with what is; to practice acceptance of what has already happened, and to decide how we will choose to be now and in our future.

If you want to put yourself in a state of happiness, of peace, of joy; if you want to eliminate anxiety, fear, self-doubt – to feel truly alive and to honour your choices and decisions; if you really want to live "heaven on earth"; you must begin here; with what you tell yourself each day and also to make the conscious choice to be happy; among the obligations, the decision-making, of what you may have less control over, and to wake each day deciding to be grateful, to feel happy, practising living present moment awareness and awake to all of the experiences of your life and of knowing what will allow you to be in a state of self-love – for example opening your heart by choice. Because being love is also a choice.

How does being love relate to self-love? As you choose to live in a state of love, gratitude, and happiness; it becomes a natural outpouring of this state to be loving and kind; directed towards yourself.

You may think about self-love as taking care of your needs, of honouring and respecting yourself; of practising loving-kindness directed within and using encouraging self-talk; but when you live in a state of love; your consciousness rises; you live in an enlightened state. The state of love allows for you to instantly experience the feelings and the mindset of pure presence; of consciousness. It is an example of being fully in the now.

This state is what best supports you to freely feel innate happiness. This inspires every other decision and action that you make; all towards living with your heart open and of love.

Join me in this episode as I walk you through a beautiful experience of accessing this state of awareness; a state of love that will empower you to live true to yourself, and mobilize you to have the best outcomes because you are in the right mindset; you are happy, peaceful, content and grateful. This is a practice of being loving, directed towards yourself. Namaste!! xo

Peace Unto Me: A Guided Prose Meditation

Season 2 Episode 14 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny

Sometimes the feeling of compassion can cause you to well up with emotion to feel incredible sadness and sorrow; but it is in those moments that you also fill your heart with infinite love for another or for a situation.

Please don't shy away from evoking compassion. We all need to feel one another's compassion.

For the next six weeks, join me in a series of guided meditations that will guide you into yourself; into peace, self-love, compassion, forgiveness, hope and inspiration.

You will need each of these as you hold presence unto yourself in this brave new world and as you call upon a gentle witnessing of your heart - here in the moments now that will determine for you a most blissful and certain life.

I invite you to close your eyes with me for a short time and take in this experience; each meditation is delivered in a 'prose' format which makes it simple to take in my words; you don't need to have any experience in meditation to feel the effects of this practice. Simply allow the words you hear to find their way into your heart.

Let them fill you with love and support. Join me for this first prose meditation: 'PEACE UNTO ME'.

I will leave a link for you here, to where you can experience this meditation unto itself.

If I can be of any help to you on your personal journey, please reach out to me.
