Ep 201: How to Make Anything And Everything In Your Life Better

Start Your Transformation Now How often do we find ourselves ensnared by the very things we cling to for comfort and security? This episode peels back the layers of the false illusions we often find comfort in – our careers, relationships, and the societal roles we play. It challenges us to question the very fabric of our existence and what it means to live a life where we aren't imprisoned by external validations. I share stories from my own life, including lessons learned from facing heart failure and a stroke, to highlight the freedom that comes when we detach from the material and societal measures of success. These experiences have taught me that true liberation is found not in the accumulation of achievements, but in understanding and embracing the essence of our soul's journey. Join me as we explore how to navigate the illusions of life that bind us, aiming for a state of BEing that transcends the material and the mundane. We'll examine the traps of defining ourselves by our possessions, our jobs, and even our relationships, and how these attachments can lead to a life constrained by the very things we thought would free us. Listen, apply, enjoy. Transformational Takeaway: Learn how to achieve true freedom through detachment from societal success measures.

Start Your Transformation Now Do you find yourself clinging to the idea of security in life? This episode delves into the deep-seated beliefs we hold about security and its impact on our lives. Reflecting on personal experiences and the nature of security as an evolutionary vestige, we uncover how our pursuit of security is often based on outdated concepts. We also examine the four illusions of security, challenging the notion that it's something tangible and attainable. Instead, what we often chase as security is, in fact, an illusion deeply rooted in fear. Additionally, we discuss how the brain's desire for predictability often leads us to avoid taking risks, and how this limits our actions and life choices, stifling our potential and robbing us of the richness of new experiences. This episode invites you to reconsider what true security means. It emphasizes that the only real security we have is in knowing ourselves at a deeper level, beyond the superficial. By confronting our illusions of security and recognizing them for what they are, we can begin to live more authentically and free ourselves from the constraints of unfounded fears. Listen, apply, enjoy. Transformational Takeaway: Transform your understanding of security and stray away from limiting beliefs.

Start Your Transformation Now Does being smart actually hold you back in life? This episode uncovers the surprising ways in which what we think of as intelligence – our book smarts and academic achievements – can actually hold us back. Reflecting on personal experiences and shamanic teachings, we explore the societal obsession with intellectual performance and its impact. From the pressure to excel in academia to the way we define our own worth based on perceived intelligence, we delve into how these factors can limit our broader understanding and spiritual growth and how they can overshadow other valuable forms of understanding and BEing. We discuss the overrated nature of conventional intelligence and the rich knowledge lost in history, emphasizing the importance of connecting with higher consciousness and the wisdom of the soul. This episode is an invitation to broaden your perspective on what intelligence truly means. It's about recognizing that there's more to wisdom than what's measured by standard IQ tests or academic accolades. It’s a journey towards acknowledging the vastness of consciousness and the depth of awareness that goes beyond the books. Transformational Takeaway: Redefine your understanding of intelligence. Recognize that our accumulated knowledge can limit our perception. Be open to exploring beyond these boundaries for a more fulfilling and enlightened journey.

Start Your Transformation Now Are you caught in a cycle of emotional states that prevent true happiness? In this episode, we tackle the question: What does it mean to truly be happy? Most people don't fully understand what it means to be happy because we often confuse it with a temporary emotional state, but in actuality, true, blissful happiness is a frequency – it's a state of consciousness and BEing. This perspective shifts the focus from seeking external sources of happiness to realizing happiness within ourselves. As I delve into the episode, I explore the difference between higher states of happiness, associated with frequency, vibration, consciousness, and spirituality, and lower states tied to the ego personality. The pursuit of happiness through the ego and personality often leads to a transient and unfulfilling experience. Additionally, I share insights from my brother-in-law, Don Xavier, a shaman who embodies the essence of being consistently happy, regardless of external circumstances. His example demonstrates that happiness is a state of BEing that transcends the ups and downs of life. Transformational Takeaway: Reevaluate your perception of happiness. Understand how you can step into a state of authentic, soulful happiness.

Start Your Transformation Now When you wish to “live your dreams”, what comes to mind? Now what if I told you that you're already living a dream? In this episode I talk about which dream you will live this year. There are three possible dreams that you can live in… One dream, where the majority of the population lives is the dream called a “nightmare”. The other dream (also where a lot of people live) is the “daydream”… and the third and final dream is called the “sacred dream”. The question is which dream are you living? Are you living the nightmare? The daydream? The sacred dream? Like many people, you probably have said to yourself “when i have XY and Z, then I will be happy”. I hear it all the time, and I recognize that I too was once in that position – “when I have this then I will be happy”. I want to help you out of this position, out of living your dream whether it be the nightmare or the daydream. I want to take you to what is called the sacred dream. When you live the sacred dream, that's when the bliss in life comes. Specifically when you're living the sacred dream, that's when you're living your Dharma, meaning the reason you came to the planet. If you're wanting to start living a blissful life and living your dharma… Take a listen. Once you listen, apply. Enjoy. Transformational Takeaway: Shift towards your Dharma for lasting fulfillment by living your sacred dream.

Start Your Transformation Now Do you feel like you don't fully understand reality? Have you ever sensed there might be more to life than what you perceive with your five physical senses? In this very insightful episode, I am joined by spiritual teacher and bestselling author Gary Zukav. Along the way, we have an expansive conversation exploring topics like authentic power, emotional awareness, spiritual partnership, and moving beyond five sensory perception into multi-sensory living. Gary shares profound insights from his spiritual journey and decades of experience guiding others. Gary recounts his journey starting from writing about quantum physics in The Dancing Wu Li Masters to reach a deeper understanding of reality and human consciousness. He discusses key quantum physics experiments and how the contradictory results point to the existence of duality. This leads to a realization that we can only see reality based on how we choose to observe and measure it.  Building on the physics concepts, he asserts that humanity is undergoing an epic transformation from five sensory perception to becoming multi-sensory. He sees this as the next phase of evolution to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose of life. It requires moving from external power based on manipulation and control to authentic power aligned with the soul. Gary touches on his prolific appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, which started organically from a shared sense of spiritual mission. He reflects on how much Oprah resonated with his message around intention and authenticity. He talks about reaching beyond language and labels to connect with universal truths that all traditions point to – light, compassion, inclusiveness, and love. Transformational Takeaway: We’re awakening to deeper realities beyond the five senses. By distinguishing love from fear within ourselves, we can override fearful reactions and act from love instead. This alignment of our personality with our soul creates “authentic power” and profoundly transforms us. What steps can you take today to fulfill this within yourself?  Mentioned Resources: seatofthesoul.com Get Unstuck Challenge Gary Zukav Books Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.

Start Your Transformation Now In this milestone 300th episode, I guide you through a deep exploration of the stories you've been telling yourself and how they shape your life, circumstances, and outcomes. We delve into identifying a challenging situation from the past year and understanding how your internal narratives influenced it. This episode emphasizes a crucial truth: your stories construct your reality. To transform any area of your life, it's essential to change the underlying stories that define it. Here are some things to keep in mind and consider: Everything you tell yourself is a story that influences your experiences Your stories directly create your life circumstances Shift the narrative to reinvent outcomes During the episode, I examine limiting stories that impact relationships, money, health, and more. I stress noticing the repeated tales we accept as truth, though they hinder us. Past events or suggestions from authority figures often plant restrictive assumptions we carry for years. Here are a few more things to consider and evaluate: Relationships suffer when we refuse to confront our self-limiting narratives Health improves dramatically when dropping assumption-laden medical stories Money flourishes for those who edit scarcity-based internal dialogues So, how did we ‘Burn Our Stories’? I lead my listeners through a cathartic exercise – writing down their limiting stories and burning them. This act releases associated emotions while imagining a new reality unencumbered by past constraints. Fire's symbolic purification clears space for crafting empowering narratives.  Here’s what’s KEY about this exercise: Writing down feelings around confining stories brings clarity The ritual burning cleanses energy to enable forward movement Mindfully focusing on releasing the past is profoundly liberating Transformational Takeaway: Our stories shape our worlds and realities. What limiting tales still live within, keeping you stuck? How would your life transform by reinventing these narratives?  Mentioned Resources: Episode Downloads: Burn Your Stories PDF Get Unstuck Challenge Other: DR.

Start Your Transformation Now Have you been feeling overwhelmed and wishing life was just easier? You're not alone. We all face challenges with money, health, relationships, and more. But what if there were some surprisingly simple mindset shifts that could lift the burden? In this episode, I share five powerful lessons and ways of thinking that can make your life much easier. These insights were gained over decades of apprenticing with a shaman and integrating ancient wisdom. Here are a few of the powerful insights I shared: Everything always has been, is now, and will always be fine. Adopting this mindset eliminates worry and fear. You are where your attention is. Your focus and perceptions shape your reality. Fear is the idleness of will.  As creators, we have the power to manifest the outcomes we intend and that is why our self-talk and inner dialogue impact what we create.  The world is this way or that way because you tell yourself it is this way or that way. Your inner assumptions become your reality. There are only two core human emotions: love and fear. The key is focusing on love rather than fear. Transformational Takeaway: These five powerful lessons can truly make your life easier if embraced fully. Let go of worry and fear, become master of your attention, use your will intentionally, change your self-talk, and choose love over fear. What shifts in perspective and habits could have the biggest positive impact on your life right now? Mentioned Resources: EPISODE 221: The Psychology of Doing The Impossible DR.
