We will learn: How our personal struggles actually influence our biology How to examine the 4 points of your personal compass Why letting in is just as important as letting go It seems the most interesting, complex and inspiring people I know have all been through something really hard. They’ve struggled somehow.Struggles help us develop resilience. Often in order to survive, we start searching for things – help, resources, conversations, maybe something inside ourselves like our own strengths. But not everyone who struggles finds their light. Some stay in the darkness. Some feel beaten down by their experience and just can’t seem to find the strength to get up and out of it. They feel like the world is against them, or they’re a victim of their own circumstance. So what’s the difference? Why do some people’s struggles seem to make them, while others break them?So how do we start to find that meaning? How to we start to recognize the wisdom in our own achievements? Instead of just the details of our own stories?Our guest is Kirsten Beverley Waters.

We will learn: How can you open your mind and heart to what is holding you back How to  open yourself up to the psychic dimension How to integrate the ego for a more unified self What’s your relationship to your ego? We get a lot of mixed messages about ego. I think the first things I understood about it was just what it means to have a big ego, or to be egotistical.What if instead of shunning the ego, we integrate it. We acknowledge its intention, even feel grateful for it, but just understand there are more pieces to the puzzle that need to be considered before just act on the ego’s impulse.Thinking about the ego this way can be a pretty big step in self love. And moving away from separation and towards unity. Because how can we really feel unity with our full selves if we’re resisting such a big part of our own humanity?So that’s part of what we’re diving into today. Our guest is Vincent Genna.

We will learn: The energies beneath our challenges Healthy vs unhealthy fear and the main causes of both How to connect with the center of your heart chakra to gain power and insight The biggest oversight we make in our spiritual journeys is to bypass the man experience.We think we can just overshadow any pain or negative emotion with positivity. Or shun our ego out of existence. Or we deny that we have any fear at all, because somehow fear is the opposite of love.Right now, we are experiencing a collective trauma. Healing really involves both our human and spiritual selves, to fully integrate what we’re going through into who we are becoming.If we bypass the human side of it, like denying our sadness or our pain, and trying to just overpower with the positive, or if we deny the spiritual side of it, like not paying attention to where energy may be blocked in the body, we don’t clear our the unresolved trauma. We miss half the lesson either way.So today we’re talking about our subtle energy bodies and how they affect our physical realities.Our guest is is Cyndi Dale. She’s an internationally renowned author, speaker, healer, and business consultant and the author of 27 books about energy medicine, intuition, and spirituality.Show Notes: mindlove.com/150 Learn more about your ad choices.

Sign up for Mind Love Premium for the full episode here.We will learn: The 3 causes of mental suffering: desire, aversion and delusion What we should be paying attention to during meditation How to apply non-attachment to everything we do I believe every religion, philosophy, school of thought, way of life… has something to teach. I like to go into ideas with the mindset of “what can I take with me from this?”So today, we’re going to take some lessons from Buddhism. Without knowing much about Buddhism, it quickly started to positively affect my life, sometimes with something as simple as a quote. There are so many good ones: “Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.”“Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.”“If you propose to speak always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.”There are just so many nuggets of wisdom that you can directly apply to basically every area of your life. If you’re a student of meditation, or you’re curious about it, it actually originates with the Hindu culture and Buddha was a Hindu.So today we’re diving into the Buddhist teachings we can all benefit from, specifically with inner self talk, meditation and just processing our lives.Our guest is Cynthia Kane.

We will learn: How stress and trauma disconnect us from our bodies The link between the body and emotions How to reconnect to the body to heal stress and trauma A powerful breathwork exercise you can do every day We’re forgetting what makes us human, we’re cutting off important people because of their beliefs that by the way are shaped by their own unique life experience.So with all the divisiveness, accepting people and seeing the good in their intentions no matter what their beliefs is critical to healing the planet.I’ve found the best way to do that, is to notice when I’m living in my mind and use that as a trigger to move into my body.We’re talking to Sam Skelly.

Have you ever noticed that your mind usually reflects your environment? When my house is a mess, or just full of clutter, it’s like my mind takes on that energy… scattered, chaotic, all over the place.This isn’t just an observation. It’s science.Studies show that clutter can affect our anxiety levels, sleep, and ability to focus. It can also make us less productive and here’s the real kicker for me… it can trigger coping and avoidance strategies. So all that’s bad enough, but our physical environments can also influence our cognition (so our ability to understand things), it can affect our emotions and behaviors, even including our relationships with others.That’s a lot at stake for a messy home.Today we’re talking to AnnMarie Brogan and Marie Limpert. These two friends quit their corporate jobs to become professional organizers and now they’re the author of the book Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living.We will learn: How clutter affects the mind Useful tips for how to approach organizing without overwhelming yourself How to create a vision for your space Learn more about your ad choices.

We will learn: How we limit ourselves in the present based on past experiences How to expand our perception from 3D to 5D Our roles in the collective conscious What if all your pain came back to one thing… all of our depression, anxiety, loneliness, addictions, anger, relationship problems, self-destruction, racism, the division in the world… it all comes back to separation.Separation on the macro and mic levels. When we go through a trauma, a part of us becomes fragmented and that healing process is about integrating this big painful thing that happened with who we are now.And I think the big pursuit in our human journey is to remember who we truly are. To find unity with the divine within all of us, within every thing we see.  But then the question is… how do find unity? And what are we being called to do? So today we’re diving into this with Jessie Herman.Jessie Herman is a transformational coach and pranic energy healer living who is also the channel through which the non-physical entity group known as ‘Vagrein’ flows. You know ho much I love my channels.She offers Vagrein’s balance of love and wisdom to the world with the hopes of transmitting their message of unity consciousness and self acceptance.

We will learn: How even little traumas get stored in the body Why is it necessary to deal with anxiety cognitively as well as physiologically Useful tools for self-regulating emotions, including an easy “hack” for activating the parasympathetic nervous system We all have triggers. No matter what’s going on in the world. Learning to manage you triggers can be incredibly helpful for a happy life.Expecting everyone else to cater to your triggers is just not realistic, nor is it really their responsibility. Your triggers are your responsibility.You can either go through life limiting your experience to make sure you stay in your safe little bubble, or you can start to develop some resilience.When we start to uncover these things we realize that often the thing we think is the problem, is just a symptom that’s going to keep coming back until we figure out what’s really underneath it.So that’s what we’re talking about today.Our guest is Dr. Nima Rahmany. He specializes in helping people get to the ROOT CAUSE of their physical and emotional challenges.

With all these changes in the world, feeling like you’re struggling is totally justified. But that doesn’t make it easier.Maybe you have full-blown everyday depression, maybe just depressive episodes that hit you unexpectedly, or maybe even just like a dull cloud that follows you around.Either way, it can be hard to talk about.
