Episode 009 - Real Meditation Real meditation is not what most people think it is. That elusive quiet mind is not something you can make happen. It is something that happens all by itself when attention is simply open and allowing. When you are thoroughly present (which means simply aware of and allowing of, whatever your body happens to be feeling) the mind stops. Why? Because it has nothing to do.

Episode 008 - Inner Reconciliation At Work G Works With Several People Live One picture is worth a thousand words. On, in this case, one sound. Listen to GP work live with real callers, helping them come to a whole new level of peace and self-acceptance.

Episode 007 - Inner Conflict All Those Voices In My Head (This is a correction to a bad MP3 file that was uploaded last week. Enjoy!) Within all of us are conflicting energies. There are no a mistake. Believe it or not they are essential for life. Without them life is impossible. So all of the self-help or spiritual practice in the world will not get rid of them. They can no more be removed then yu can stop you stomach from digesting or you hair from growing. So what is the answer? Reconcile Them

Episode 006 - Rendezvous with a Bridge Look Closer is my personal story. When I was 19 years old, I thought my life was over. But it wasn't. It was, in fact, just beginning. It happened on a very lonely night, one summer, long ago when, through a very strange set of circumstances, I found myself at the very bottom, confused, alone and angry. Standing on a small bridge, looking down into a horribly polluted river, I first heard the words, "Look Closer". It was then that seed of Inner Reconciliation was planted. It took that seed literally decades to germinate and grow, but this is where it started. It was much more than my life that was saved.

Episode 005 - Believe It & It Will Happen... REALLY? How many things in your life have you believed that have simply not come to pass. This is a very popular saying in some circles, but just a little bit of introspection sends it packing. It is not that it is total nonsense. Of course, there is a connection between what we believe and what we experience, but that is a long distance that thinking all I have to do is believe something and then I will get whatever it is I am wanting. And where is goodness in all of that. Good people say things like that but not everybody has the interests of all humanity at heart. Some would say that in oder to benefit themselves alone. Some even wishing ill on their so-called "enemies". How do things really work? Let us drop all the trivial, ego flattering ideas about the universe being here to serve me up any delight I want and instead find out what is actually true. And let's find out how it is that we can all benefit, at the expense of no one.

Episode 004 - Allowing & Action When to allow things to unfold and "go with the flow" and when to take action, make it happen, be proactive. Most people tend towards one side or another. There is this idea that either letting everything flow or taking it into your own hands are mutually exclusive. In fact, people who are used to allowing things to happen feel very uncomfortable taking action. And the action takers get visibly nervous when you ask them to just wait for things to unfold. As always, neither side is right or wrong. Having the wisdom to know which approach is the right one in this moment is the heart of the matter. That is what Evan and GP take up today.

Episode 003: Self Helpless I often refer to the Self-Help Treadmill. While there is a lot of good material out there, processes, techniques, insight and inspiration, there is also a danger. Too many people get caught up in this perpetual process of trying to fix themselves. We actually develop an identity based on "I am the one working hard to fix myself" but you never actually get fixed. Combine with that a plethora of self help ideas and techniques that are just downright worthless and you have what we are calling SELF-HELPLESS.

Episode 002: You're NOT Broken... Even Though Your Life Sucks There is reason why things are not the way you want them in your life. But it is NOT because you are somehow broken, defective, fatally flawed. Join us as we explore how the nervous system actually works and why it is actually function perfectly.. albeit not the way you want it. Even in Spiritual circles they will say things like "In reality you are perfect and whole, just as you are" or "You aren't a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a divine being having a human experience." So what! My life still sucks. None of that is any help. Let us show you what is.
