  • Action: Putting It All Together

    Action: Putting It All Together
    Mar 27 2014
    What if your heart took over the creation of your reality? What would the world be like then? Rumi said, “A prince is just a conceit until he does something with generosity.” So it is with us. We can talk about love, but until we manifest it nothing changes. How can we do this every day? We change our daily actions into consecrated actions. In this episode, we will be reviewing some powerful practices for bringing kindness, love and compassion into our everyday world. These practices are not about gaining merit or approbation. They’re done selflessly and although we are not doing this for a reward, the reward is huge both for ourselves and for those who we shine our light upon.

  • Who Says So?

    Who Says So?
    Mar 13 2014
    There are many paths and systems for doing inner work; for clearly identifying and dealing with our inner demons and for creating changes. We might decide that one great path has everything for us, or we might create an eclectic mix of practices depending on our temperament. On this show we will be discussing discernment. How do we choose the teachers and teachings or find the right path for pursuing our inner work? This can be a confusing process and some guidelines are helpful. No matter what course we choose, it is helpful to ask, “What is it I am really seeking?” We will also be discussing ways to work with our belief system. Margaret J Wheatly says, “So much human behavior is habitual – and behind every habit is a belief – about people, life, the world. We act from the premise that if we can know our beliefs; we can then act with greater consciousness about our behaviors. Examining beliefs can become a compelling process.” In this episode, we will be reviewing an important practice we can use for examining beliefs.

  • The World Within You

    The World Within You
    Mar 6 2014
    John O’Donohue says, “A world lives within you. No one else can bring you news of this inner world.” In this episode we begin our exploration of Inner Work, the third strategy in waking up and learning what your life is trying to teach you. We are going to discuss our inner world and talk about ways we can access it and work with it. We will use an old story as our guide. We will discuss the importance of making time for ourselves to do our inner work. Inner work flows from personal responsibility, and now that we have decided to bring personal responsibility into our lives, we need to know how to use inner work transform it into personal and spiritual growth.

  • The Ocean We Swim In. Personal Responsibility and Fear

    The Ocean We Swim In. Personal Responsibility and Fear
    Feb 27 2014
    In this episode, we begin with a discussion of the good medicine, humor. A sense of humor is one of the major attributes we can possess or achieve in life. Having a good sense of humor and being a thoughtful person are often companion qualities. But humor can be used in a negative way as well. Keeping our sense of humor in a positive manner is our goal. After we talk about the good medicine, we will look further into personal responsibility and fear. In an earlier episode, we saw how personal responsibility and personal power are interrelated. Now, we will investigate some common beliefs about personal power and discuss how these beliefs differ from true personal power. In this segment we will be learning how to manifest true personal power; personal power that does not use fear as its basis.

  • Saying Goodbye to the Judge

    Saying Goodbye to the Judge
    Feb 20 2014
    Judgment is the greatest cause of trouble, harm and discord in the world, and there is no destructive force as intractable as righteous judgment. Despite its drawbacks, and all the pain, suffering and misunderstanding it causes, our world is completely enchanted by judgment. As we begin to learn what our life is trying to teach us, we also begin to see that, when we take up judgment, we are avoiding personal responsibility and stopping our personal and spiritual progress dead in its tracks. If we are serious about personal responsibility and manifesting personal power, we will need to learn to free ourselves from the sticky web of judgment. Learning how to eliminate our judging nature is wonderfully freeing and a very positive contribution to the world. The space that judgment vacates is the ground for compassion.
