EP1: I AM Scottie Gee Hines (Intro)
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Laozi I'm Scottie Gee Hines and this is my podcast. I'm so stoked to be on this journey with you. My soul is expanding. For me it is all about the direction, not so much the destination. I am a spiritualist, television news man, speaker, writer, podcaster, yogi, Ironman, adventurer, happiness ambassador, and recovering emotional trauma hoarder. For the past five years I've been on this whirlwind journey of introspection, healing, aligning with source, and re-scripting my belief system shaped by sexual abuse, sexual assault by a high school counselor at 18, my years of being in the "closet," and alcohol and drug addictions. I’m finally in alignment with my most authentic core. My mask is nearly off and my criteria for beauty today is the expression of the human spirit. We are living in exciting times and entering a dramatic “Shift” of enormous proportions. It’s a spiritual rebirth like no other we’ve ever experienced before. It is time for us to come together in unity and LET GO of all "that has created division, fear, and war." This podcast is a tool to assist humanity in navigating this awakening and to help awaken the conscious love warrior within all of us. The old paradigm and current societal structures are giving way. My intention is to offer you a new way of living, experiencing, and being in the world. The power of gratitude and awareness has been my greatest transformational tools. Together we will tap into our deepest, most authentic self. We will expand our consciousness and explore a more holistic approach to living a life full of wholeness, purpose and meaning. I’m super stoked to connect with the brightest people in the world and to explore topics like love, healing trauma, spirituality, productivity, “flow”, human performance, yoga, entrepreneurship, travel, endurance, writing, plants and holistic medicine and other modalities to help heal our bodies, minds and spirit. 2014 was all about my Ironman Arizona and pushing my body beyond its perceived limitations and the last two years has been about facing my darkness, plunging deeper into my soul and exploring all of it in solitude. One of my favorite reads is “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. I picked up the book during my Ironman Arizona journey back in 2014. Pressfield talks about how fear and resistance is mandatory if our soul is to evolve and he tells us how we can avoid the roadblocks of any creative endeavor, including writing a novel, starting up a business, or even launching a podcast! One of the biggest hurdles I've had to overcome in life is learning to love myself and fully expressing my true worthiness. Our healing is not an event. It's a journey of untying emotional knots and rescripting our belief system. My healing journey is just revving up. There's a path to liberation for all of us and it is "within the depths of our soul" that we emerge "after great struggle, as an expression of divinity in the world."
