Here's a real honest episode, as if they aren't all so honest and raw it makes you uncomfortable.

Not really sure how this one is gonna go over.

I'm considering quitting the podcast and it's not because I'm not getting the following I want, this isn't about success or failure.

You'll see if you listen, but basically it's just becoming weird for my mental health and I think I may be better off not doing it, so that's what I'm leaning towards.

Trigger warning: suicidal ideation is mentioned in this episode

In this episode of Hevenly Integrity you'll hear about Matilda's personal experience with her current and past religious beliefs and how these affect her mental health.

Fear is often a driving force but not the end of the matter. Changing the way we view our experience can allow us to keep believing in what empowers us and let go of what doesn't!

You'll also hear Matilda's viewpoint on hell and how she disagrees with what has been taught in mainstream Christianity about eternal torment.

This episode is not all doom and gloom, in fact it has more to do with empowerment and an honest look at mental health. When one does face overwhelming thoughts, what to do, how to see it. Habitual thoughts create these easy to slide into thought processes that can be overcome with meditation, breathing and prayer!

Furthermore, the main focus of this episode is to draw our attention to the changing aspect of our beliefs and how we are always only on the journey and never in any fixed place. Just because we don't know exactly what to believe doesn't mean we cannot find peace with where we are.

Self-actualization is mentioned as a tool to ground us in the process. We can use it in our metacognitive adventures!

Where does one find this "Joy of the Lord" or "Inner Peace"?

How do I hear from God?

These are the top 2 questions that have been on my mind lately, join me as I dive into them here.

Joy can't be forced or faked.

I touch on heaviness (sadness) and the age-old question of "Where are you God?"

Then I get into how our focus effects our ability to experience God and the joy that is found there.

Getting close to God requires something out of us: Trust.

Being able to hear from God requires us not only to quiet our mind, but also to listen, tune in and listen up with clear spiritual ears!

What keeps us from being able to hear from God? The heaviness, all the worries, the distrust.

I really like this episode and I think you will too!
