Beautiful Work Beautiful Life

Often when we meditate we use breath or another tool to bring our attention to a single focus. Because our attention is often narrowly focused throughout the day, this open focus meditation is wonderful opportunity to create a sense of openness within oneself, to relax the attention in a way that opposes that narrow focus, while also stilling the mind. In this open focus meditation we use imagination, attention and awareness to become connected with the space inside and around us.

There can be unpleasant consequences to speaking words when we are in an emotional turmoil or unclear about what we are seeking as an outcome to any conversation. In order to become clear, to gain power in our speech and confidence in how to address what might be a difficult conversation, we can turn to the power of unspoken words to help us begin the process of self-expression in a productive and non-violent manner. You'll hear lots of ideas about the value of unspoken words in this episode as well as strategies to employ these techniques in your life. 

Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration.

Criticism never feels good to be received and if we're honest, it doesn't feel good to deliver, when one wants to be a supportive, compassionate person. So how do we have conversations where we share what we really think and feel without criticizing others? This podcast discusses ways to address this topic in relationship with others, beginning with the relationship with yourself. In order to have the healthy and positive relationships that most of us want, taking time to build our communication skills can be a worthwhile endeavor. Some examples of how to handle specific situations are shared.

When you aren’t making the progress you want, the first thing to work on is your inner dialogue. This conversation begins with a discussion about behavior change and why it can be so difficult to make the changes you want. Adele Michael joins the hosts to discuss the critical nature of self-talk, the importance of acknowledging and rediscovering the power of your body, your subconscious mind, and your inner dialogue. She explains how getting the body into a relaxed state, a state many can't seem to achieve, is often the key to making the change you want. Your inner dialogue can be a portal to discovering how to open portals to the real change that will bring success and satisfaction.

Use this guided meditation to employ your breath and your awareness to bring full presence to all of your body, awakening the major aspects and organs to work more fully with all you encounter throughout the day. Based on the theory of Chinese Medicine and utilizing visualizations, you’ll be guided to connect consciously with different parts of your physical form and consider the work they engage autonomically and energetically to process your life in a moment-to-moment way.

What does it mean to raise your vibration? And how can this make your life better? Do you desire a life that feels more connected to God or the Divine? How can you go about having that quality of life? This podcast goes about addressing these potent questions and more.

Often there are more questions than answers when we work in the energetic realm, and at the same time, questions seem to have simple or different answers from what we expect. This podcast shares conversation and stories to bring the listener into experiences that involve letting go of the rational mind to enter into mystical events that the mind often cannot "figure out" but that our hearts understand without explanation.
