A Meaningful Life By Design

Are you going crazy, or having a spiritual awakening..? Seriously have you suffered a mental health crisis or had a psychic shift? Today we discuss shades of awakening and what really causes a consciousness shift, is it our neurology, biology, environment, is it god or the universe?

Today, to answer these big questions I am honoured to have an incredible guest on the show, Josh Burkhart.

Joshua is a holistic life coach with a private practice at Paths of Transformation as well as a partnered practice at the Living Free Institute. His passion for transformation began with his own need to heal and change after a mental break-down in 2009, a bipolar diagnosis, addiction, and a history of trauma.

After failed attempts with conventional psychology he set about to find his own path and eventually found a spiritual path and mentor. Since then he has been trained and certified for Peer Wellness Support for both mental health and addictions treatment with S.A.M.S.H.A., the United State's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services. He has undergone hypnosis and coaching training with Positive Changes where he worked for a year and witnessed the overwhelming number of clients whose struggles originated with their trauma. Recognizing that the underlying condition of their challenges was going untreated he opened up his own practice where he could better work with people in their dynamic wholeness in mind, body and spirit.

Along the way Josh has healed from his own bipolar symptoms, anxiety, addiction, and much of his trauma. Listen in to this incredible podcast to learn more around healing mind, body and spirit, finding the gifts in mental health challenges and opportunities to self-heal.

However, his life lacked a focus on giving back, on impacting the human experience on the planet. Skip to 2020 and Jerone is very clear how helping people in need is was the reason he was put on this earth. I met Jerone recently in coordinating relief efforts to face the crisis in Bali. His social enterprise, Social Impakt, provides high-impact ceramic water filters to improve access to clean drinking water for rural communities in Indonesia. They do some amazing work. If starting a social enterprise or simply pursuing a more purposeful career is of interest, this is a must-listen podcast. Jeroen kindly shares the smart process he employed in researching and founding a social enterprise.

Sarah is Yoga & now meditation teacher, Slow Fashion Ambassador, Workshop Facilitator & Interview Host and has a background in fashion.

Her mission is to share yoga beyond the confines of the yoga studio. as she believes, and to quote here "Yoga is a lifestyle and a more harmonious way of approaching culture and social dynamics.

Yoga's ethics and values system can be applied to business environmentalism, plant-based diet & food choices, politics, slow fashion, Yogic Consumerism and more."

The most important message that Sarah shares is 'Yoga should not be contained to the mat'. The rich teachings and ethical grounding it offers is designed to be bought into the 'real world'. Sarah applies her knowledge to activism, workshops, Masterclasses, event organisation, teaching both virtually and online) and spreads tools of education for self-empowerment.

I was firstly introduced to Jason's work on Insight Timer, the meditation app, I am in fact one of his 81.7 thousand followers and one of the 2.8 million people listening to his Morning Ritual meditation. His guidance on how to heal the deep shit is kind and profound.

Jason is a meditation and Reiki teacher and Energy Healer, he is all of these things but also so much more.

In today's podcast Jason generously, kindly and beautifully shares his wisdom. We talk about how you can walk away from fear and find the truth within (in fact how we can move from fear to love in ten minutes). We talk about how the darkest of times can deliver incredible Wisdom & happiness.

And the real gold from his show, Jason gives us an introduction into a way we can "Heal the Deep Shit Lightly". Today, we learn, or are reminded, how suffering is illusionary, how to experience spirit, step out of patterning, understand our own truth and Jason powerfully reminds us how often we don't have to do the hard lifting to find a way forward to a life off ease and grace...... and I'm going to stop there before I give the whole podcast away, lol, but trust me there is more gold within.
