This guided practice of Pratyahara is the purposeful directing the mind and the senses inward ~ so that one can internalize consciousness and realize the true 'Self.'Pratyahara consists of two Sanskrit words, prati and ahara.Prati means away or withdrawal and ahara means food. Here, ahara means anything that the body and mind consume.Therefore in the context of yoga, it is the process of withdrawing from the objects that nourish the sense organs. The goal of pratyahara is to withdraw from the external objects and to go inward.Pratyahara is one of the Eight Limbs of Yoga laid out by mystic, sage, and philosopher Patanjali more than 1,500 years ago in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.The Sutras collect spiritual wisdom into an organized guide for living a yogic life.Music Credit: Deep Relaxation
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.
A beautiful heart-opening mantra to open your heart to the love that lives within you...."This day and all of its sacred moments I live in the perfect dwelling space of my heart. This frees me to live pure; to see the light in all others; to witness their need to do good. I encourage them with my kindness and words and my kindness is always returned to me tenfold.For more 'I AM' Mantra Meditations and Prayers.... visit The Wisdom Archives: https://dorothyzennuriyejuno.com/wisdom-archives-meditations-mindfulness-mental-health/
If you’ve wanted a mantra to help you shed the parts of you that are not truly who you are, use this mantra. As you say the words aloud, feel the vibration of each word and visualize what you are releasing into the light.
When we have our intentions aligned with our purpose and actions, change can exist instantaneously.
MANTRA: “I release the parts of myself that I no longer wish to hold; that no longer serve me – that never served my highest self and the parts of me that are of light.”
In this episode we do some very cool shape-shifting towards living whole and of your authentic self.
In many cases, all that is needed is for you to decide to shed the inauthentic parts ~ that is, the aspects of yourself that have been learned through observing others and through what was taught via countless repetition and the modelling by others ~ many of which carry the weight of previous generations’ traditions and beliefs ~ and which may not align with your own values, beliefs, and choices.

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.

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! 🙏

Podcast Theme Music: 'Aura' from the Album, Illuvia by Eternell www.eternell.net/album/illuvia
Sending you great 💜 love...
Namaste!
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.

How Honest Are You Willing to Be?
It’s a question that arises often in our work together 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 they are going to challenge you to face your fears, to step up, to be more, to live easier and to feel happy naturally - because in the moments.
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.

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.' -- dorothy ratusny

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 is necessary for the change that becomes our personal transformation. Join me!

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?

Podcast Theme Music: 'Aura' from the Album, Illuvia by Eternell www.eternell.net/album/illuvia
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 formal 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.
*The name of my client has been changed to maintain confidentiality. His story is real.
Sending you great 💜 love...

Podcast Theme Music: 'Aura' from the Album, Illuvia by Eternell www.eternell.net/album/illuvia
When a love relationship has ended, even if we knew full well that it wasn’t the right relationship; nor the right person - it still hurts. Rejection hurts, endings can be difficult, yet much less so if you rely on yourself for your happiness.
To overcome the fear of singlehood and even as you may already be single, find your footing as you discover who you are. Likely you will have lost some, perhaps much of your confidence in the weeks, months, even years of remaining in a relationship and with a person that is not the right fit for you.
Listen on and discover how my client Bobby overcame his resistance of being newly single and what he needed to do to build a relationship with the most important person in his life - Bobby.
Find the complete Season One and Season Two of The WISDOM podcast right here: https://www.dorothyratusny.com/wisdompodcast/ and wherever you listen to podcasts.
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?'

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.

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.
In this podcast episode Q & A ('ask dorothy'), I share my client Neela's story as she visits her ailing father and how she relearns the beauty of living in each precious moment of life; here and now.
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.

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.
At the level of the fifth chakra, our attention moves from the physical plane into the subtler etheric fields commonly known as the aura.
This etheric field is generated by the totality of internal processes – from the energetic exchange of subatomic particles, and the firing of neurons; to the digestion of food in our cells, our current emotional state, and on to the larger rhythms of our outer activities.

The Sacral or Swadhisthana Chakra 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, by 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.
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-European 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.
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.
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.
In this episode, dive in with me and the story of Sara; her heartbreak; and the love that she found for herself.
Listen to The WISDOM podcast here and wherever you listen to podcasts. 🎙
When your root chakra is in balance, energy flows in two directions. The chakra releases energy downward, like a lightning rod, while at the same time drawing energy upward from the earth. As a result, you feel secure and safe. Life is stable, but filled with active, positive energy, and your patience and sense of community brings rewarding relationships.
Some of the characteristics of this chakra in balance: good health, vitality, being well grounded, feeling comfortable in your body, having a sense of trust in the world, and a feeling of safety and security; being able to relax and be still, stability, prosperity and right livelihood.

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.

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.

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.

The Best Part About A Breakup 'ask Dorothy' | The WISDOM Podcast | S2 E65 by Dorothy Ratusny
This is a wonderful question that comes from Ionnie as she writes about her experience in my Audio Meditation Course: The 10 Sacred Habits of Meditation. You can find it in The School of Wisdom https://theschoolofwisdom.dorothyratusny.com/ and it is also featured on Insight Timer.
The Question: "Your explanation about letting thoughts occur helps me experience a more clear understanding of what the meditation experience is about. I am grateful." 😊
"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?"
My Answer... Ionnie your question suggests such a wonderful level of awareness and self-reflection. To notice one's thoughts in daily life is an example of being mindful, self-aware and observant.
In meditation, we are taught to allow our thoughts presence but to not be distracted by them; rather to return our point of focus unto our breath or another object of focus each time we become distracted. This practice is to help train the mind outside of meditation to release thoughts that are unwanted and untrue.

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.

Have you have been struggling to build your confidence? Has your low self-esteem caused 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.
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). Find the School of Wisdom here: https://theschoolofwisdom.dorothyratusny.com/
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.
What parts of you do you keep hidden away; afraid to reveal these aspects or traits at an inopportune moment perhaps when you let your guard down or feel ‘too’ comfortable; of your secrets; of what you may say or do that you dislike or self-loathe? What is this dark side and the part of our self that we must vanquish?
“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.” - dorothy ratusny

If you have ever wondered what it really means to live aware, awake and in the present moment, this episode is for you.
“All of the moments of your life that you live fully are lived in the now.”
In this episode, I share the experiential practice of mindful presence of breath, and several life hacks that will help you enjoy the full experience of the present moment; to do one thing at at time; to devote your attention completely to this and to take in the experience with awareness using as many of your senses as you can.
You may always decide to refocus in now, quieting the mind as you find your breath; as it leads you into full attention of the present moment.

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 who helped her live (far more) of the time, in the present moment.
An estimated 275 million people suffer from anxiety disorders. That's approximately 4% of the global population. About 62% (or 170 million) of those suffering from anxiety are female, compared with 105 million male sufferers.
The best cure for anxiety (Yes, I said ‘the best’!) and it also happens to be natural and free; is to return your focus into the present moment each time you feel anxious.
Metaphorically, death in a relationship occurs when one (or both) members are mistreated; where there is a lack of respect, honor, and honesty; when there is deception and lies; and when actions cause hurt and suffering whether one intends to hurt the other or not and without change, without remorse.
For this, there is no saving of a relationship. The relationship is already over.
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.

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.

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 experienced; 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.
In this interactive journey into what clinical 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.
It now must be because of you. You must now learn to love yourself – 'for yourself' (and to integrate healthy self-care and self-love back into your life).
We’ll talk more about this as we go through the 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.

Self-honesty for my client meant learning how to rewire herself to acknowledge when she was feeling anxious rather than ignore and attempt to suppress the symptoms.
The plan we discussed was for her to pause whenever she noticed symptoms of anxiety including and especially, the pains in her stomach; and to intervene using one of the several techniques that we practiced together, to help her address the situation and the cause of her anxiety in a healthy and productive way.
One of the strategies was to determine if these intrusive thoughts were accurate and real or thoughts of worry that were unrealistic as she focused on a worst case scenario, or an untrue or irrational fear.
Honesty means that you have to look inward first; to examine the thoughts that you tell yourself because what you tell yourself, you believe.
It may take a bit of practice to re-write the thoughts that you tell yourself; but in the end it means that you are seeking self-honesty as a virtue and also an enlightened way of being which then makes it easier for you to “live your truth.”
Please use this link for a best practice to help you to challenge and change the thoughts you hold, so that your thoughts reflect what is accurate and true. This will help you to change how you feel, first as you ensure that your thoughts are based in truth. https://www.dorothyratusny.com/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-cbt-to-challenge-and-change-your-thoughts-therapy-best-practices/

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

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.
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.
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!

If you have ever wondered what a session of therapy could do for you; sit back and take in this message.
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.
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).
I’ve listed three reflective questions to get your started in your inner work here, in a free downloadable pdf. https://dorothyratusny.us19.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=1052139b368be5fb71755fe5a&id=063f5bb7ca
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.

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.
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.
Here’s a question for you. "From where do you derive peace?"
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.
It is in what you do for yourself that allows you to exist in peace; and to not be easily stirred or roused out of this state.
“Live in the beauty of life adorned of your peaceful presence.” - dorothy ratusny

In the early days and weeks of this new year, I encourage of you to begin a practice that will shift your mindset; that will open you to find and live of your authentic happiness generated by kind and thoughtful action and the willingness to live from your heart.
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?
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 truly matters 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.

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, begin with all that you already are.
Use your innate goodness to wield more; to rediscover your innate 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 to walk the planet knowing that you are far more incredible and amazing that you have ever known.
This time, this year, your life begins with the wisdom of your heart - for all good.
In this new year of your life, the word needs to be "YES!" “Yes, I’ll do what’s best for me.” “Yes I will honour myself and my needs.” “Yes I will take action rather than sit back and wait for things to come to me.” “Yes to all things beautiful and plentiful.” “Yes, I will ask for what I want.” “Yes to the abundance that I am impassioned by.” “Yes, I will get up that extra hour earlier and meditate, journal, say affirmations, read, image, pray, be with the presence of myself.” “Yes to the discovery that I can always do more than I think I can.”

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
We do not always have the kind of relationships that we would like. Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it; and at times it is because the other person is not able to meet our needs; our needs of honesty, of trustworthiness, of kindness, of integrity that the relationship is limited.
Acceptance is the allowing for others to be on their own path and journey through life; and to release your attachments to what you can accept is not possible; not as the result of your unwillingness, rather the acknowledgement and acceptance that another is unwilling or unable – or both.
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.

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 enjoy being alone with yourself and to not feel lonely.
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 in many parts of the world; coupled with the accumulated months of continued social distancing and self-isolating. But does loneliness have to be our existence?
If you are someone who has been suffering 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 can you do to eradicate this?
To instead feel connected; to have social contact that is meaningful and nurturing, and to discover and know the joy in the time in which you are alone, because being with yourself has the propensity to be what you look forward to as much as the social connections and the meaningful relationships you have with others.

"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, 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."

In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I have written a prose to offer light and liberation at a time when several parts of the world was in the midst of a lockdown due to the pandemic (July 2020).
For whenever you listen, let yourself feel the depth of what this prose is offering as guidance and wisdom; at a time in which you are seeking more for your life and for how you live each moment.
In the dawn of a new awakening; a new moment, a new time; you feel the expansive nature of what you are.
Allow yourself the blissful moments of your nature, your quest, your knowing - as the perfection of what you are; as your soul consciousness - your inner being - your spiritual self.
Let the freeing nature of what you are be the unleashed form of you. Let yourself build upon a practice of expression - of truth - of knowing; that who and what you are is the most divine and sacred consciousness; it is what you are in the freedom of your expression - your inner knowing - your faith - your love.
Unleash yourself from what has kept you contained, suffering...
In your heart, let your wisdom speak; begin to follow... listen, acknowledge, be with what you discover, then 'repeat'. 💜
Please enjoy this prose as a spiritual gift of awakening; to remind you to follow your heart's wisdom. Namaste! 🙏🏼

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
When you use your heart intelligence, you are literally dropping into your heart center and asking and receiving sensory feedback from your heart brain.
Your heart and its more than 40,000 sensory neurons, of which are the same kind as the neurons that are found in the brain are always providing you with information largely of a felt sense or intuitive wisdom; a perceiving of the world using cardioelectromagnetic communication.
In the new field of neurocardiology, scientists have discovered that the heart possesses its own intrinsic nervous system—a network of nerves so functionally sophisticated, it has earned the description of a “heart brain.” With its over 40,000 neurons, the heart has the ability to independently sense, process information, make decisions, and even to demonstrate a type of learning and memory. Source: heartmath.com
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.
Sometimes we may need to access our heart wisdom immediately; for decisions that are not driven by analytical processes and so we may use our feelings to navigate what is the right and best choice.

"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’.
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.

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!
In this BONUS episode of The WISDOM podcast, I am sharing what I wrote earlier this summer; 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, 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. Namaste! 💜

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

Podcast Theme Music: 'Aura' from the Album, Illuvia by Eternell www.eternell.net/album/illuvia
Accompanying Music: Eternell 'Maram' and 'Embrace'
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
In this episode, you use the power of the mind and the heart to experience love towards parts (and all) of your body and to witness your body in its ideal state, functioning optimally.
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.
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.
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.
'BODY LOVE' NOW is a meditative tool to illuminate appreciation and care of all that your body does to support and nourish you in each moment. It is a powerful practice for facilitating inner healing and recovery and as you may hold personal goals of well being and optimal health.
Experience it for yourself. Let this be a practice that supports and nourishes you deeply; for the rest of your life.
There are going to be things that happen to us in childhood that are irrevocably damaging; and not because we are in any way deserving of this and so it becomes the question, “How will I examine this in such a way that I can rise up? ...that I can somehow overcome and prevail and allow this to strengthen me further, incite me with knowledge – allow me to be empowered not only because of it but because I choose so.”
Welcome to this series of 'ask dorothy' and the real-life clients that I share with you; in hopes that you will feel helped and healed as you listen; as you may share some or much of the same circumstances with my clients; and that you feel encouraged and hopeful to heal whatever situations and circumstances of the past you may continue to carry. Namaste!
"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.

Podcast Theme Music: 'Aura' from the Album, Illuvia by Eternell www.eternell.net/album/illuvia
Accompanying Music: Eternell 'Lethe', 'Haven', and 'Spiraling Light'
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?
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 https://www.dorothyratusny.com/theultimateselflovetoolkit-wisdomtools/
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.
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. 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 30 minutes – 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

Namaste!
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!

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!
This is a story of gratitude. This is my story. I hope that in sharing it with you it inspires you to see the world through eyes of hope, love; and with forgiveness and acceptance of what is, and of course gratitude for the many blessings that life offers you as you choose to forgo the labels of right or wrong; good or bad and to instead consider each experience as important and of meaning. This will help you to find deeper significance and meaning in it this way. This part is the story is the part of acceptance; of allowing for what has already happened; without blame and finger pointing; without the need to have answers, but instead to seek to understand from a perspective of what choices you now have as you comprehend what is most important now.
I chose to hold gratitude for what I had control over; that is what I would be able to do from that moment forward. I chose to heal completely; to have gratitude for my life and for being here; and for choosing to experience what my life is now; as important and meaningful. I chose to learn from this experience; to decide what I was being shown to look at and change; to be the best version of myself possible.
My life has forever changed since this story; everything has been for the better; to remind myself that the life I lived up until that moment was no longer the same life. When we focus only on what is in front of us, we can lose sight of what we are still manifesting and we become distracted and discouraged.
As I took each step forward, there were many opportunities to be grateful. Gratitude reminds us of what good we can pay attention to that we might otherwise take for granted. Without gratitude there can be a tendency to wallow, to disapprove, to be a victim. This does not help your capacity for what is most wanted.
For a PDF that you can download with Tips and Best Practices for Your Written Gratitude Practice, click here:
I share two client stories as we begin this episode; in order to discuss reliance and self-responsibility; to no longer give away our power to those who are truly not responsible for it and to make new choices that will honour our integrity and authenticity over greed, ego, and a fragile and fear-based model that has up to now dictated to us what we should do.
TRUTH SERUM: There will continue to be uncertainty. You must become certain about what you want and how you wish to live your life.
A-HA MOMENTS: This time is a time of freedom – freedom from what has held you hostage from yourself. What you will choose to be a new set of practices and beliefs that you will hold; will allow you to rebirth yourself into something more, something better.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: You need this time to awaken; to set in motion this new stage of your life. You already have everything that you need for this.

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
In this episode I want to remind you of the power that you hold to choose for yourself the right and best relationship, and how you can stay clear of relationships that are damaging and abusive.
I also wish to illustrate how living with abuse, perpetuates a cycle of dependency and the eradicating of one's self-worth and sense of self; and I will share the story of my client 'Beth', and the four strategies to prevent you from finding yourself in an abusive relationship and enable you to leave.
TRUTH SERUM: There are many forms of abuse. Abuse is, by definition, the mistreatment of another; whether intentional or as a facet of one's consistent actions that one may not be self-aware of.
A-HA MOMENTS: Abuse in the traditional variant forms that we categorize as physical, emotional, and psychological all originate with one's thoughts and beliefs; that is what one tells one's self and justifies in being discriminating, hurtful, and disrespectful towards another, and how one's misguided intentions can lead into a situation and a relationship that is both damaging and abusive.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: We know that relationships that are unhealthy and abusive are also complex and complicated. We stay in these relationships for different reasons; whether because we have convinced ourselves that there is something of benefit to us in staying; or we anticipate the enormous effort it will take to execute our decision to leave. We stay because we tell our self that the "relationship is really not that bad"; that maybe "we deserve how we are being mistreated"; and in some cases, we may tell ourselves "we don't care."
Here is a link to download a PDF with episode notes and questions that I encourage you to ask of yourself that will help you to mobilize yourself to take action. 💜 https://www.dropbox.com/s/yauhht8d2edj1xs/How%20You%20Find%20Yourself%20in%20an%20Abusive%20Relationship%20-%20The%20Reasons%20You%20Stay%20and%20What%20Will%20Help%20You%20Leave%20For%20Good%20S2%20E10%20The%20WISDOM%20podcast.pdf?dl=0
If you are listening to this episode because something deep within you is yearning for help, guidance, and perhaps validation of what you know but have been afraid to believe, I hope that in listening, you will allow your inner voice to become louder, and to rely on it for what you know is true.
Be willing to care for yourself first with the knowledge that you are not alone, that you will get through this; that you will feel better, happier, and stronger; and that if and when you choose it, you can and will find the right partner and the love that you truly want.

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
Here, I share with you the ultimate self-care guide ; the very best habits and routines that will forever be how you care for your individual needs.
You might not yet realize just how important self-care is, until you experience for yourself just how much better you feel, how self-sufficient and resilient you become when you give back to yourself, and its how you do this that is so important.
TRUTH SERUM: Self-care is how you nourish and sustain yourself. It is these practical habits that ensure that you have what is needed to care for yourself in the best possible way.
A-HA MOMENTS: With the world ever-changing to support a new way of life for us all; of bringing to the forefront the need for self-care and practices that support and sustain our health and well being, now is the perfect time to invest in taking care of our every need.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: With many personal services that we had come to rely on still closed at the time of writing this, we are being made to re-examine how we have been caring for our self; and what we can do now rather than wait, to bring into our life what important and even sacred self-care practices will nourish us; and to know that in providing this to our self, we feel more capable, self-sufficient, and in control because we can give this to our self. As we apply self-care and also self-love practices, we ensure that we are living at our best, we boost our confidence and self-esteem, and the value that we hold in our self.

This is our global awakening; this is our new world. This is your opportunity, your time, your free will that will choose what will be. When you feel uncertain; and there is much that is still unknown, remember to decide what is in your power to choose; to reclaim, to live awake, because in this time everything that you have ever wanted and desired now is before you. It is of your choosing.
Only you can choose this.
You are not alone, everyone has their own path to walk forward in. The life that you once lived is forever changed. You embrace the present. You may witness all of the moments of your life as you look forward and feel grateful of these many joys that are possible because you choose this. Everything becomes significant. Everything becomes a possibility and something worth asking for. Your life and what you live begins now. Choose your life. Live in peace. Begin this now.

What we are reminded of in the world at this time is a global pandemic of a different nature and one that is equally important.
We are reminded of how intolerance, rage, suffering, violence... spreads. It is a disease - a virus of its own nature, if allowed to persist. This brave new world that we are being thrust forward into is a world that must be founded on the protection of love and kindness. Kindness is Love.

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
You may have thought about it; or even attempted it; but have you ever completely unplugged from technology for o n e d a y? This means not reaching for your phone or tablet as one of your first habits of the morning; choosing instead to contemplate what you are most aware of; what thoughts you want to hold - and how you want to feel? - even as your senses may be highly acute - and yearning for a deliberate dose of something. But what? - comfort? meaningful connection? curiosity? validation? escape?
What is the experience of a day in your life - best enjoyed - without the comfort and luxury of the internet, phone calls, emails, texts, and anything else that keeps you tightly enmeshed in the matrix? How will you live off the grid for an entire 24 hours? Why would you want to?
TRUTH SERUM: One of the greatest contributors to our global levels of worry, stress, and sadness is the result of not having time alone with your self; whether in a solitude activity or for several moments of regular inner contemplation and reflection. You may experience a degree of discomfort that you find released - soothed from choosing to use your unplugged time to be with you - and to establish a nourishing and positive relationship with your inner self.
A-HA MOMENTS: The advent of personal cellular devices and our increasing reliance on being 'plugged in' has many benefits. However, your 'technology free' day may be an important step in seeking to know yourself better - and to question some of the perpetual habits that may keep you in a cycle of choices that do not serve you.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Notice what you discover about yourself; your desires, and what reminds you of the importance of unplugging regularly. 20 minutes a day might be perfect - to be with yourself - to identify and nourish your needs and perhaps to know what greater meaning is revealed here - in the present - away from any need to 'do' or 'accomplish' - instead holding attention, patience, and love - directed inward.

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
In this week's episode, I wish to share with you a special meditation on hope. Hope for the new conditions of our lives that will move us into a kinder and more compassionate world; hope for each one of us as we surge forward, our lives ultimately changed and that we may embrace what change can be for the better, to lead us deeper into our selves and to the oneness of our beautiful nature as love in action.
Hope that as you are guided through this prose meditation; and as you settle in to a comfortable posture, let yourself be guided by my words and notice what impressions and insights arise for you.
As much change as we are all experiencing right now, and during this time of a global pandemic; this meditation reminds us that hope needs to be present for the deliberate teachings of our heart; stirring, rising up; to be the messages that we honour for our new lives; for our lives always.

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
My client Mackenzie described it as a flash of light - and the feeling of being wide awake; able to witness herself in the true aspect of who she is.
This is called 'awakening' - moments of lucidity and clarity - where, as Mackenzie describes - she is able to see everything as it is and instantly is aware that the opposite - the absence of clarity - is akin to "being in a coma".
Sometimes referred to as 'sleep walking through life'; at first glance it would appear that we are functioning in a reasonably effective way, but when we look deeper, we see that there is much that we are doing on automatic pilot; without contemplating, without being attentive to how we feel and without asking our self if the choices that we continue to make are indeed the right ones for who we are.
When you are not fully present and awake, you actually forgo your free will choice and you are not able to live your awakened ideals.
Mackenzie described how much she enjoyed the feeling of being able to see everything with clarity; and admitted that she eagerly awaited the next flash of light that she hoped would come soon. At this stage, she believed that it was something beyond her control; something that happened 'to her'. I was about to explain how awakening was indeed - a conscious choice.
Each time that we make a conscious effort to look for and see what 'is' (true), we shift ourselves into present moment awareness; that is, we become awake and aware - mindful - for as long as we choose to live in this state. This is akin to choosing whether you experience your life fully attentive or go through the motions of it and the feeling of not being fully in control.

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
In this episode we continue to discuss the importance of this time in your life. (If you like, you may wish to listen to last week’s episode of Season 2, or any of the bonus episodes that closed out season one as we continue to navigate this new future that we are now stepping into.)
Even as this episode is released months into this global pandemic of 2020, the messages that I share are omnipresent and incredibly important for when you listen; because now is the future.
For however you have been living your life up until this moment, you must realize that you have been choosing your future. What I want to emphasize and inspire at this time and in this brave new world that we are all being “rebirthed” into; is the absolute need for greater conscious choice; to wield the freedom that you hold, to inspire what you deeply desire; and to live fearless of this as you go and slay this; because you now understand that you are able to have everything that you have always wanted.
Everything that you will attain now comes with work and effort; but it is most possible. It comes with desire that must be steadfast and laser focused, and of course belief in your deserving of this. All of these ‘conditions or factors’ (if you will) are completely within your reach.
Everything that you want begins with a thought, an idea, and then resolve – the decision to not look back; to focus on what is wanted; and to live this now with kindness and love in your heart as this will always be your greatest power. Dive in with me to this week’s episode and let me share with you what is most important right now; your future is in your hands. Namaste! and much love, dorothy

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
In this episode of the wisdom podcast, we dive deep; we do some serious questioning to reveal what is most important for you right now. Because once you have decided what is most important; what you truly want for your life; and for how you want to be in your life; then you can slay it; you can make it happen.
This episode reminds you that you need to decide; and your decision must be absolute; clear, certain so that you can make what you have decided - your new reality. How you employ the universal law of attraction; how you manifest anything is by first deciding. In this time of uncertainty, confusion, fear, perhaps grief and sadness, stress and anxiety; its time to begin making the decisions that will allow you to rise up; to live the rest of your life empowered, free, and in the full experience of your innate happiness – because you are choosing it. Namaste! and much love, dorothy

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
In this first episode of a brand new season, I have something special to share with you. As we are in a time in which the world is continuing to pause; to take a step or two back to hold our breath as we anticipate the future, this is a perfect time to consider that we are living in a time of spiritual awakening.
For this we must look within for our 'right' knowing; to remember how our individual actions affect each another and the planet; and to honour and respect all living beings as we live in peace.
This episode of The WISDOM podcast offers a guided journey; one that invites you to open your mind and heart; to witness your inner wisdom and to ask the questions of yourself; of how you may 'rebirth' into this new life we are being called to live.
As you listen, you may wish to record some notes as you answer the questions, and as you witness the presence of your highest self in communication with you.
TRUTH SERUM: This future; the future of your heart and your instinctive yearning to create; to pursue your interests and to live of these; to forge a path; to no longer wait; to begin now; and to believe in your self. All of these require a vision and a willingness to live true to yourself.
A-HA MOMENTS: You have been given a time of rebirth, a restart, a return to what is infinitely important. An awakening is what you open yourself unto. It is a re-examination of how you have been thinking and living up until now, and the permission to step into a new way of being; leading with your heart.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: We lead with a guided visualization to open your mind and heart. Let this be the path for you to rebirth yourself; to continue to awaken, and to be of love, compassion, and kindness unto yourself, others, and all of humanity. Use this practice often; as a meditation, and guided visualization, that prompts you to answer the questions that will allow your inner voice to rise up and assist you.
In this episode, I guide you through the progressive steps of bringing your consciousness to life; with questions that will open your mind and heart towards what is most wanted.
I want you to feel the confidence of what is possible as you then take each step. I hope that you will return to this practice daily as it becomes a tool for visioning your future; your choices, and the means by which you will rebirth yourself and awaken.
Namaste! and much love, dorothy

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
Here, I share with you the research-based knowledge of how to alleviate fear and how you may choose to live as love in far more moments of your life. Namaste! xo In this health pandemic, there is a lot of information that can heighten your fear; the overloading of information some of it inaccurate, some of it truthful; can still cause you to feel fearful when you have not previously. Sometimes, as you seek to have all of the right knowledge and information; focusing on the finding and having of facts can cause hypervigilence - acute focus on this problem even if your facts can now offer ideas for what you need to do. It is only when you are fixated on a problem that worries surface: your mind directed towards what is unwanted and what causes you to suffer. TRUTH SERUM: There is a great deal of luxury in fear. In fear you are not focused on improving your life, because your focus is on what you do not want and what you believe will be a worst case scenario. You tell yourself "What if..." and complete this sentence with the “what” that you don’t want to have happen. Fear keeps you locked in feelings of powerlessness; your worry of the future causes you to ultimately lose your life in the present moment; unaware of the power that you have to focus on what is wanted. A-HA MOMENTS: I want to show you how to alleviate fear; and to explain how you may move from a place of fear about anything, into one of knowledge, truth, and a focus on what is desired and wanted, and then to build upon this further into a state of love; of calm, knowing right action, and perseverance (of a plan and the steps that are needed to help you stay on course towards what you desire, and to feel confidence (as you mobilize yourself and take right action), and of purpose (of accomplishing constructive behaviours and feeling the relief of fear). This is possible for each one of us – of all ages; to do for our self. PRACTICAL WISDOM: This is not about conquering your fear. We need to feel fear because it has a purpose if experienced for the right reasons. The ‘right’ reasons include a real threat that then allows you to mobilize yourself in safety and care. Perceived or imagined fears are psychological and are not necessarily based in real and factual information. When you experience the feeling of fear based upon your worries of a future moment that has not yet or may never happen; the feeling is real, although the fear is not based in absolute truth. And there is a difference.
This podcast is dedicated to all of the people who ceaselessly work in medical care around the world, who are committed to their service and care; and the best possible treatment of all people who have been affected by the Coronavirus and all other illnesses that they help with on a daily basis. We commend you. We could not survive in the world without your help and care of the greater whole.
As you are home with your children; as you are social distancing; that is, avoiding as much as possible all contact with others who do not live in your home and as some of you have been self-isolating in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. These next several weeks in front of you can remain a challenge for as long as you focus on what is lacking.
As you are together with your family at home, consider this time as one of immense blessing.
You raise your level of consciousness by first being aware – mindful – of your family dynamics.
Are you interacting in harmony? Is there a sense of ease and enjoyment when you are all together and in the present moment for whatever activities and dialogue is occurring; and even as each member of the family may be enjoying different things. Are you co-existing with enjoyment of one another?
If not, what can you do to practice acceptance, inclusivity, and connection?
This time is an opportunity for all of you to find each other; to learn about and know one another in ways that you have not, or in ways that are new and different.

TRUTH SERUM: "You will always find formative information to support your fears; the challenge is to instead seek the truth." - dorothy ratusny
A-HA MOMENTS: Faced with a global health crisis such as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) your latent fears are tested. If you are someone that lives in the experience of anxiety and fear on a daily basis, this global pandemic outbreak has likely exacerbated your level of fear immensely. How you continue to react, and the thoughts and perceptions that you hold, become heightened responses of your existing predisposition to fear.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: To alleviate fear you must first challenge the thoughts and perceptions that evoke fear. You do this by holding factual, reliable information, as you wield the power of your mind; visualizing with certainty what is most desired; together with the action steps you take towards this.
We all have a fundamental need to be safe and healthy. We also need to believe that we have real and tangible ways in which to ensure our well being. Thus, this current health crisis, challenges us to seek factual and reliable information; to not be distracted and overwhelmed by fear mongering, to seek out evidence to disprove any irrational fear that arises, and to continue to act in a way that ensures we make the best and safest choices.

Perhaps one of the greatest sources of happiness and well being comes directly out of our ability to love our self and to be able to receive and internalize the positive words and actions of others; to allow the love and kindness from others to be felt deep within our being. After all, we thrive in knowing and feeling that we are loved.
In this episode, we examine why it is so important to be able to feel loved by others and unto our self and how can we be much better at this. I invite you to find a comfortable place where you can listen taking in the ideas, the concepts and feeling the importance of what it means to receive the love that others have for you and to have it also for yourself as the most definitive means of feelings and knowing your wholeness. Let’s dive into this together.

///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Eternell - 'Aura' https://eternell.net/music
In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I'd like to explain why a sankalpa is different from a typical resolve or declaration of intention and how it can specifically help direct you on your chosen path with reverence towards what is most wanted and important for your life fulfillment. I also want to share how a sankalpa helps you to uphold with clarity and greater ease, the ways of being that support you in living as your highest or ideal self.
TRUTH SERUM: What makes a sankalpa different from the kinds of intentions, goals, or new year’s resolutions that you may have set previously - is a single factor - the power of a sankalpa (this profound intention or 'vow') is transmuted through the deepest yearnings of your heart. It is also suggested that it is your soul in direct communication with you that inspires you towards greater action and to live awake and on purpose. This makes the determination that you hold for your sankalpa of the upmost importance, mobilizing you towards an outcome aligned with your highest level goals, beliefs, and values; and for all of who you desire to become.
A-HA MOMENTS: “With your sankalpa, you live in alignment with what your inner wisdom, your heart's desire is compelling you to act upon.” - Dorothy Ratusny
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Think of your sankalpa as a call to action. It is designed to be results-driven, aimed towards fulfilling a particular life goal.
Namaste everyone! xo dorothy

Namaste!
There will always be words that we want to say - that we are compelled to speak - words that we have to hold back because the speaking of these will cause tension, distress, upset; and yet how we can not communicate our true feelings - at times unwavering in our mind and often fuelled by the compulsion to make a situation better; to have relief - to solve a problem, or to pose a new one.
Communication is everything. Yet how can you become better at speaking your truth so that you can reveal the true essence of what you need to say - what you must say - without hurting another, without causing damage to a relationship - while still giving yourself a voice - a stand - an opinion? It matters what you say.

Where you will find the most comfort is 'in the love' - in its depth, its power - its potential for creating your perfect life; for realizing that beauty is in all things - it is your perspective that determines 'what' you shall see.
The love that you hold and share will be the love that you feel - that you live with. Your life will be the epitome - the example, the freedom of love - held in the comfort of all things mystical, divine, of the blissful nature of you - as love - in all moments.

Fatherhood teaches you so much about yourself; it will illuminate your strengths and your character and it will also highlight your insecurities and your weaknesses. It will require of you to be self responsible; to lead by example - to impress not by your words but because of what you consistently do and how you are with others.
Here I share the 8 Most Important Things a Father Needs to Be.

The intentional act of forgiveness will require your heart to open; to feel a 'letting go' of what you have held and harboured for so long. In being willing to forgive all of what has caused you to suffer, you begin the important healing of your body, your mind, your soul - and you realign with your highest self - the perfection of what you are as energy. You realize that the experiences of your physical life are never meant to hold you hostage; to keep you in a state of perpetual suffering; they are but experiences that in the larger scheme of your life are - a means to an end - a catalyst - a lesson - what changes and shapes you into something more. You can remain in the experience of suffering or the repetitive behaviours that continue to cause your pain - or you can acknowledge that the experience - whatever you may wish to forgive is just that. As traumatic and difficult as it was or as you made it to be, it is not the end goal. What you need to focus on is what you do with what happens to you.

Meditation teaches awareness; we learn to be mindful of how we are feeling - and for how we want to feel.
Use this gentle meditation for changing your current mood state; for acknowledging the feelings that may typically be unavailable to you - with greater ease; and for choosing how you want to feel - and to feel this now.
This is a helpful practice if you suffer from mood disorders, depression, or anxiety as it reminds you of your free will choice to choose how you most desire to feel and the process for deliberately experiencing this new state of being (in the present moment and as you connect in synergy with the energy of your heart centre).
Let this simple meditation be one that you use often to remind yourself of your free will choice to choose how you feel - and to choose this now. xo Namaste!

The greatest moments are those in which you can be present as you are doing whatever you love; as you are in the presence of this - and attentive to how it feels to be so privileged, so blessed - that you are nowhere but right here - in this moment; in the enjoyment of this moment - in the experience of what you love most - of what is so blissful. The secret is to find many of these blissful moments; spontaneously as you become aware of them - as they penetrate your being; as they offer insight and wisdom and glory. It is these moments that you are fully present in - that serve you; that excite you; that inspire you with beautiful wisdom and glory that you hold as moments of greatness; of pleasure, of joy - moments that remind you of your ability to be present with all that is - as it is.

You witness the world as your playground; your space of adventure - fun - and the true nature of life and who you are. But what is the result of your decisions when they are not following a path that honours your truth?
When you are not honest with yourself - it is because you are wishing or wanting something different from the reality of what 'is'.
Embracing you is how you formulate the greater confidence that helps you pursue a path that is unique to your talents and abilities, your interests, your passions - your loves. This is what makes you great. Living the outer expression of yourself in the fullest capacity is what brings the most joy. Anything less is withholding, limiting, settling, sacrificing.

Joy is ...the natural expression of your soul.
Joy is ...the blissful happiness that you feel as oneness with your inner being - your soul consciousness.
The experience of JOY is your authentic - natural state; sometimes it is buried beneath many layers - mostly these are layers of thought energy and the physical sensations that keep you far away from experiencing the joy of your true nature. Best enjoyed with your eyes closed!! :))

You thrive in self-discipline. Self-discipline is personal power. It is a discernible and distinctly present force that helps you to accomplish what is desired, to make the best and right choices, and to live exuding confidence and self-respect.
TRUTH SERUM: On a daily basis, self-discipline is what you harness that gets you into the gym, it is the voice that says "no" to a choice of eating what food is not healthy; and it is what mobilizes you to seek more for yourself through conscious and deliberate action. But suppose you wanted to wield greater self-discipline easily as a success habit in the daily ever-present moments of your life; and where you need it the most.
A-HA MOMENTS: Because we are the culmination of every conscious or unconscious choice; every thought, every action, every feeling; we need self-discipline to thrive at the highest level; to optimize balance and to propel ourselves along a path of our choosing; where we can feel certain and fulfilled in our choices; and in our destiny; and because self-discipline is what we must teach our children, we must first be this, and in all areas of our life.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Your self-discipline is what sets you apart from others; it is what makes the difference between getting something finished and doing remarkable work that is beyond what you thought was possible. Self-discipline at this level requires conscious decision-making and the resolve to see all of your goals and dreams realized.
If you wish to have the habit of self-discipline ever-present in your life in a way that you have never felt it before, then I invite you to listen on; and to contemplate the 3 secrets that make self-discipline possible as a consistent optimal life habit that affirms your ideal self. Let these 3 secrets reveal the true purpose of self-discipline and its ever relevant place in your life... and in your heart.

Forgiveness is possible as you love yourself and others, unconditionally. When you choose to forgive another or yourself, it is because you wish to let go of suffering; to free yourself to live in the present; and to dream of the future because you have completed the work of 'for' 'giving', for releasing your attachment to the past. The past was never in your control. If you are forgiving another, it is so that you can have a relationship with them in the present if you so choose. In this episode, we discuss what it means to forgive; how you know that you have forgiven completely; and how you can do this so that you are no longer carrying the weight of the past with you.
TRUTH SERUM: A new way of thinking about forgiveness that transcends all world religions and is the most direct path to inner peace: Forgiveness comes from Love.
A-HA MOMENTS: Forgiveness is: (Hint: break it into two words) forgiving yourself the freedom to let go of the past and whatever has happened including what you or others have done that is not a true portrayal of who you are. Forgiveness is 'for''giving' acceptance to what has already happened; and what you have no power to change, only the power to live from the present moment.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: You will know when forgiveness has been completed because you will be able to think about the other person, yourself, or the situation and no longer feel the hurt, anger, (or self-loathing) that was once present. You will instead feel an ease and lightness in your heart centre, and you will be able to identify the feeling of unconditional love and acceptance that comes about from making peace with what 'is'. Namaste everyone! xo dorothy

If you've ever felt a looming dread on Sunday that falls upon you much like clockwork; as your mind anticipates Monday morning, the week ahead, and what you may wish you could avoid; then you likely know all too well what 'That Sunday Feeling' feels like...
New research from The Sleep Judge (an organization that helps people get a good night's sleep) showed that an astonishing 81 percent of people said they experience an elevated sense of anxiety on Sunday in anticipation of the week ahead. 15 percent of people polled in the study reported feeling dread first thing Sunday morning, 29 percent in the afternoon; and the majority - 57 percent of people reported feeling especially stressed on Sunday evenings.
Releasing each episode of this podcast on Sunday evening, was a decision inspired by this real phenomena that millions of people experience every week. If you or someone you know has experienced dread, anticipatory anxiety, panic attacks, a depressed mood, and disturbed or restless sleep on Sunday; wishing that you did not have to go to school or work, and a job or career that is unfulfilling and stressful and into the grind of another week that leaves your stomach turning with nausea and anxiety; then this episode is for you.

You encourage authentic happiness and self love in your children by encouraging them to appreciate their unique and natural talents and abilities and by reinforcing your child's belief in their inherent value and worth.
This podcast is relevant for parents who recognize the importance of instilling healthy self esteem and self worth in their children - from an early age; setting them up to feel confident, and to be self reliant on their feelings of worth, knowing that they are always 'good enough'.
I also discuss how to build self worth and esteem as an adult. Even if you have experienced cumulative life situations in which your self worth was diminished, you can rebuild your sense of self and your ability to love and value who you are.

/// BACKGROUND MUSIC: /// PODCAST THEME MUSIC: 'Aura' by Illuvia (https://eternell.net/album/illuvia)
How do you take an idea, a thought, something that you desire deeply, and turn it into a reality in the physical world?" How do you do this repeatedly and for all of what really matters to you? We're talking about manifesting; bringing a thought, an idea, a desire - into physical form.
Is there a deeper secret to why some people seem to have so much abundance and privilege in their life? It can’t possibly be just luck?
If there is one secret that may inspire you to listen on, it is this: We all don’t manifest enough.
You could be manifesting so much more each day, simply by having more clarity of what you want and knowing how to deliberately put this into motion so that you can witness its arrival – its manifest – in your present life.
I think that this is such an important topic both for realizing how much you are in control of your destiny and also because to manifest reminds us of our powerful nature as we use our free will to decide and then receive all of what we want. I couldn’t be happier to share with you these simple, yet imperative three secrets to help you manifest all things.
In this episode, I explain how manifesting is done successfully, and why it is that we sometimes bring into our life precisely what we don't want. I also share three secret life hacks that will make manifesting consistently effective ...and easy!

If you’ve always looked to successful and confident people and wondered what their secret is – this episode is for you.
What makes a person confident? How can you raise your confidence levels? Where exactly does confidence come from? And how can you hack it to help you live the life you want?
In this episode: Learn how to retrain your brain with 3 confidence-hacking strategies that will supercharge your self-esteem.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Learn how to program your inner dialogue so it becomes sacred messaging that you live by. Implement simple habits to help you foster a daily practice that nourishes you.
A-HA MOMENTS: Shift the inner landscape of your thoughts to empower rather than diminish your abilities.
Learn 3 simple strategies to retrain your mind using the techniques of affirmative language.
TRUTH SERUM: Follow a path that is inspiring and true to who you are.
When you are tuned in to your truth, confidence flourishes along with the inner wisdom that drives healthy self-esteem.
A relationship ending can cause us to doubt our ability to be desirable and worthy. It also has the potential of highlighting our fragile nature - causing us to examine what aspects of our self we may lack confidence in. Therein begins our work - to deepen our knowledge and confidence in who we are and that we are more than enough.
If we enter into a new relationship continuing to doubt our worthiness, to feel less than secure in who we are, or to question our desirability and attractiveness, being fearful of not being 'enough', then we will not attract the kind of partner that we truly want. It matters first that you feel secure in who you are and confident in your value and worth; otherwise you will likely find yourself feeling the same insecurities again in your new relationship.

TIMESTAMPS: Introduction to Self-Love: 2:11 | The First Self-Love Practice: 3:40 | The Second Self-Love Practice: 7:38 | The Third Self-Love Practice: 9:44 | One Additional Benefit to Your Self-Love 'Work': 10:50
In this debut episode of the Wisdom Podcast, I share the three practices of self love that teach you how to have greater confidence, appreciation and love of yourself; and to feel autonomous and self-empowered because of what thoughts and feelings you choose to hold.
Our rearing may have taught us to look to others for approval and to feel loved, valuable and worthy. We may also look to our existing love relationship to feel complete and to validate that we are desirable and good enough and we look to our partner to love us in the same and familiar ways that we have been shown and accustomed to.
Yet how good are we at practising self love? Consider first answering these questions: Do you look for others to love you? Are you able to love yourself first?
Join me in this debut episode as we uncover new and innovate thought paradigms for practising self love as a daily habit; and discover three self love practices that will teach you how to curate love from within. Namaste! xo

In this podcast, I explain this very real, very widely experienced phenomenon: 'The Imposter Syndrome' and how it can become a prevalent theme in our life; causing us to doubt in our abilities to be successful, and to instead 'feel like a fraud'. I also share the five strategies you'll need for overcoming the phenomena of feeling like an ‘Imposter’.
In addition, please experience the BONUS Guided Meditation that accompanies this podcast. It works beautifully to retrain your mind and is worth practising daily for a time. You will begin to experience events which once triggered you to dwell on your untrue core belief, now having a different impact on how you see and value yourself.

In nature and in life we experience the rhythm of birth and rebirth; 'new' beginnings and the gentle outpouring of what is also on its way to us - what we are 'manifesting'.
In each moment you are also a new version of yourself. This is the most powerful way to live your life - with the knowledge - the true knowing that you have free will choice in each moment.
*Rain is a universal symbol used to symbolize birth and rebirth. I liken it in this meditation to the inspired idea of using our free will to choose each moment.
During this meditation, I hope that you will allow into your experience, all that comes into your awareness - so beautifully....so perfectly. namaste! xo

TIMESTAMPS: Two Important 'takeaways' from this Episode: 2:15 | The Four Ways to Build Emotional Connection and Intimacy: 3:24 | The Definition of Emotional Connection: 5:38 | How Emotional Connection Happens: 6:23 | One Assumption You Might Have About Love: 10:08 | The Two Questions to Ask Yourself Which Determine Whether You Have Emotional Connection In Your Love Relationship: 12:04 | Emotional Connection is Not The Same As Sexual Chemistry: 13:35 | My Clients' Story - 'Meghan and Danny': 17:46
One of the most important elements in determining the longevity of a mutually loving and healthy relationship is the depth of emotional intimacy and connectedness.
Emotional connection in a love relationship is built on the intimate sharing of who we are, the personal details of our life (past and present), and our future dreams and aspirations.
Connection and intimacy is cultivated out of our discerned liking of someone and our genuine interest and desire to know more about the other person and to willingly reveal our honest and true self. What is unique about the experience of emotional connection and how it actually happens, is the mutual willingness of both people to reveal their truth.
In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I share the truth about how emotional connections are formed (and broken), and what it takes to uphold emotional intimacy in a love relationship.

What do you do to self-soothe? The ritual of self-soothing continues throughout our life and it is an important predictor of the behaviours that we rely on to calm and relax us. Self-soothing tendencies may be a healthy form of self-regulation and a means of creating optimal balance between mind and body. Yet not all self soothing behaviours are helpful or healthy.
In this podcast, I explain how some of many ways in which we self-soothe can become addictive; and what you can do to replace habits that are not helpful, with healthy and positive self soothing practices.

TIMESTAMPS: Podcast Intro: 0-1:32 | Intro to Episode: What is your Greatness? 1:33-3:31 | What Does It Mean to Live Your Greatness? 5:38 | How to Begin Your Journey of Greatness: 8:36 | A Bonus Strategy for Tapping into Your True Potential Now: 10:10 | My Ideal Self ('bonus guided meditation'): 11:36 | The Importance of Living Your Life's Purpose: 6:57
What is greatness? How do you live your greatness? G R E A T N E S S is both your incredible potential for what you are becoming and what you already are. You live your greatness most readily by being your - authentic - self. Your authentic - or genuine - self is another way of describing your truth - your true nature. You live your greatness when you are living as your ideal or highest self - the purest aspect of what you are - and often referred to as your soul, the god or goddess within you - consciousness. You live your greatness through deliberate acts of service, genuine kindness, compassion and being loving without boundaries or expectation.
"You live your greatness through acts of love."
"Know who you are. Know your greatness. Your greatness is not your ego nor what your ego mind tells you; your greatness is what you are as a being of love; when you reveal this to the world then you are living your greatness." - dorothy ratusny

Do you sometimes struggle to feel confident about yourself? Do you at times, dismiss what is positive - focusing instead on self critical or self loathing inner dialogue? Do you often compare yourself with others that you deem to be more successful or better in some way?
In order to build a more confident YOU, it's important to be able to witness all of who you are - from a perspective of loving kindness. We can all benefit from using kinder words in how we think of our self. We can practice speaking words of encouragement and kindness to our self - and holding belief in who we are as being more than good enough, capable, intelligent, and any other adjective that describes what is true rather than what we might currently tell our self.
To build confidence, regardless of how confident you currently are, its important to be mindful of what you say to yourself; what words you choose to speak both inwardly and aloud to yourself and also what beliefs you hold.
Confidence grows with encouragement and kindness. You must be willing to see all of your "goodness" - and to acknowledge what makes you uniquely different, special, and talented.
We all deserve and can have a high level of confidence. Confidence is not ego - but rather the positive feelings that come with believing in your self and your ability. Being encouraging and kind towards yourself will empower you to try new experiences, and to make changes of yourself and how you live life that will support and grow your confidence further. This happens as you choose to acknowledge and remind yourself of your value, your worthiness and that you are more than capable of whatever you choose to do.
*If you would like to acknowledge and live your greatness... and to live a far more confident version of yourself, please ...let me help!

///BACKGROUND MUSIC: Eternell, 'To See' ///PODCAST THEME MUSIC: Aura by Illuvia (https://eternell.net/album/illuvia)
TIMESTAMPS: Podcast Intro: 0-1:32 | Introducing the Story of Michael and Tara: 1:37 | How Therapy Helps to Heal the Past and Present: 7:46 | Your Awakening Moment: 9:17 | How We Teach Others How to Treat Us: 10:20 | The Rest of 'Their Story' - Michael and Tara: 11:26 | What Honesty Gives You: 13:42 | Advice for Offering Feedback to a Loved One: 14:22
Our personal growth always comes out of our willingness to see things as they are (realizing that things are not always how we would like them to be). Here I discuss the power of being self-honest in sharing the true story of both members of a couple who were able to speak their 'truth' - and then to delve deeper - to hear and honour the words of their partner spoken to them.
The more honest you can be with yourself, the easier it is to make the changes you seek and need - and the easier it is to live happily.
Honesty also serves as a foundation for mutual trust and for being able to hear and honour each other's truth.
We can be in a love relationship and yet this doesn't mean that we are skilled at it. A relationship requires ongoing attention, effort, and the willingness to give of yourself in loving kindness. It also inspires personal growth and the desire to become a better version of yourself.
In this episode of the WISDOM PODCAST, I share one couple's story as helpful guidance for how we can become better at complete honesty, for living our truth; and of looking inward to correct and improve our self rather than point blame and find fault with our partner (and others).
*If you would like my help to make the positive changes that will help you communicate with honesty OR if you need to find the courage as Tara did to leave an unhealthy relationship, please reach out to me.

The science of Meditation and Mindfulness reveal how effective a short 5-minute practice can be for controlling anxiety and reducing one’s perception of what is stressful, for feeling relief and comfort, for reclaiming presence, for focusing the mind and lengthening attention span, for positive emotional health and enhanced self-awareness; and for gaining a different or more accurate perspective. Stress reduction is one of the most common reasons people practice meditation and mindfulness.
Especially if you are new to these practices or if you are wishing to develop a habit of mindfulness and meditation as a regular part of your life; these 5-minute life hacks will enrich your present moment experiences, offer insight, enhanced awareness - and build the habit of holding presence - in each moment that you choose this.
