Episode 48 - Don’t You Worry ’Bout a Thing
Friday Feb 08, 2019
Friday Feb 08, 2019
Worry seems to be part of the human condition. We worry about relationships, work, money, the future, health and more. And yet most of what we worry about never happens! When we need to make something happen, persevere, overcome, heal or create, worry blocks us. In this episode we talk about how we release worry (and striving) and what we can be assured of, no matter what.

Episode 47 - The Alchemy of Spiritual Understanding
Friday Feb 01, 2019
Friday Feb 01, 2019
In light of the recent media buzz about the encounter between the Covington Catholic boys, the Native American drummer and the Black Hebrew Israelites on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., here we enter into dialogue on the transmuting power of Spiritual Understanding. Understanding is our ability to know the Truth that stands underneath what we see and see beyond biases and preconceived ideas. We take a look at our own lives and discover how we can move with ease and grace through triggering moments and uncomfortable situations, and bring a higher vibration to our world.

Episode 46 - What Are You Thinking?
Thursday Jan 24, 2019
Thursday Jan 24, 2019
What do you say when you talk to yourself? It's important to watch because our thoughts form our world. In this episode we explore what single limiting thought are we ready to release. It's very often hard to find because we tend to stop at our feeling or a much broader thought than the core driving thought. This is an important first step in creating the lives we truly want to live.

The 2019 Cecil B. deMille award recipient at this year's Golden Globes was Jeff Bridges. His acceptance speech was epic, fascinatingly authentic and replete with joy and wisdom. He inspired everyone to be who they were created to be and reminded us that we can make a huge difference in small ways. In this episode we share our experience of the wisdom of "Tag, you're it!" and living as a trim tab.

Episode 43 - Entering Joy
Sunday Dec 23, 2018
Sunday Dec 23, 2018
Joy is a state of well being that already exists deep inside us. It is a Divine gift - an infinite well - which we can experience independent of circumstances. It is an internal quality and a mystery, because we can actually live in Joy when things are pretty darn awful. We don't look for people, places and things to satisfy our expectations in order to experience Joy. We just need to enter into it. Joy comes from a place of deep connection to Spirit/Source/Higher Self/God. And when we live in Joy, we can share it with the world.

Episode 42 - Choosing Love
Friday Dec 21, 2018
Friday Dec 21, 2018
We see and hear a lot about love in novels, pop music and movies. It is often wrought with angst, longing, loss of self, and attachment. This is otherwise known as romantic love, and is a distinct part of Western culture. But Real Love endures. It is unconditional and has no boundaries. Real Love frees. It is something that we do, not something that we feel or elicit. Love is the theme of the third week of Advent.

Episode 41 - Establishing Peace
Saturday Dec 08, 2018
Saturday Dec 08, 2018
In order for Peace to be, it must first be established in our consciousness. It is not something we can make happen by any external activity. When we establish Peace and Harmony in our consciousness, we are okay with life as it is AND we hold the power to calm its storms. Peace is the theme of the second week of Advent.
