Boing

How much of your life do you try to control?
Can you seem overwhelmed by micro-managing every aspect of life?
Do you know where this need for control comes from?
In what aspects of your life do you allow yourself to surrender?
Are you a go with the flow kind of person? 

Episode 11, of Boing, is all about surrender. Through our own life experiences there have been many things we could not let go of, that we felt we needed to manage or control. But through the years, we have been shown time and time again, that the more we allow ourselves to surrender the more we are supported by something bigger than ourselves. Listen to our stories, our struggles, and our learning experiences, do they mirror yours in anyway, are there any tips or insight that you can take away? We really enjoyed this conversation, laughing, smiling, and revisiting the blessings the universe has given us, and we hope you will too!

What were you passionate about as a child? 
Underneath everything you think you "should" be doing, is there a part of you that still wants to do that?
Do you know your astrological signs? All of them?
Do you know your attachment style? Your love language?
What about your Dosha or your human design? 
How about Numerology?
How much time in your life have you spent really getting to know yourself, your whole self, your true self?

In our 10th Episode of Boing, we dive into ourselves on multiple levels. Through years of self study and practice we have learned so much about our life paths, our attitudes, our triggers, and the way we give and experience love. Join us in this conversation exploring the different ways we've come to know ourselves better and the different paths of exploration that we used to do so. 

What is sustainability?
How can we live a sustainable life?
When you think about these questions do you automatically think about recycling and gardening?
Doesn't sustainability seem to be focused around reducing waste?
What about our health, our diet, or work/life balance?
How can we make these more sustainable?

In episode #9 of Boing, your hosts, Kelly and Allen, converse about all things sustainable. This is a really interesting topic inspired by Allen's recent visit to a friends eco retreat center and the possibilities for an amazing permaculture project in the future. We speak about times in our lives that were completely unsustainable and how we made changes to be happier and healthier versions of ourselves, about ways to build sustainable habits and self practices, and yes... Allen goes on a few rants about how amazing permaculture is and how important it is that we incorporate these principles into our lives.

How much do you know about Yogic Philosophy?
Doesn't that stuff only apply to old skinny Indian dudes?
Have you heard of Yamas and Niyamas? 
If so do you know how to incorporate them into a modern lifestyle?
How does yogic philosophy work with different cultures and religions?

In this Episode of Boing, we dive even deeper into Yogic philosophy, as a science and as a lifestyle. We talk all about the Yamas and Niyamas (the spiritual guidelines of yoga) and how we have incorporated them into our lives. Our backgrounds are in traditional yoga, based on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras dating back to somewhere around 250 BC. We both found yoga in different ways but were drawn to the wisdom and awareness that it has opened for our evolution and growth. This is one of our favorite topics we could talk for hours about it, hence the reason there are 2 parts to this topic. Hope you enjoy!
 Namaste!

What does Yoga mean to you?
Why do people do yoga? What is the significance of the practice?
When you think of Yoga do you get the image of a mystical mountain sage sitting in lotus position at the mouth of a cave high in the Himalayas?
Do you think of a studio space full of women in yoga pants performing a series of stretches?
Do you see it as some weird cult like religion with a sleazy man claiming to be an all knowing "Guru"?
Are you biased toward one yoga over another? Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Kundalini?
Or even, goat yoga, wine yoga, aqua yoga?

In this Episode of Boing, we explore a deeper understanding of Yoga, as a science and as a lifestyle. Our backgrounds are in traditional yoga, based on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras dating back to somewhere around 250 BC. We both found yoga in different ways but were drawn to the wisdom and awareness that it has opened in our lives. This is one of our favorite topics we could talk for hours about it, hence the reason it says Part 1 in the title. Join us in an amazing conversation about what yoga means to us, how we started our practices, how it has benefited our lives, and so much more. Namaste!

In this episode we explore triggers, what triggers are, what goes on in the brain when we are triggered and ways that we deal with triggers. Also, we speak about acceptance, compassion, and setting boundaries. We explore scenarios that trigger us and some of the practices we use to build our awareness around them, as well as our abilities to resolve them in positive ways.  This topic was suggested by our friend and audience member, Clair, and we had so much fun speaking about it.

How easily are you distracted? 
Do you have trouble focusing and getting into flow? 
Can you always find a way to procrastinate when trying to accomplish certain tasks?
Do you feel like you are really living a purposeful life?

In this episode we speak all about distractions. There are so many ways to distract ourselves from our higher purpose, or even just from the normal things we need to get done. Both of us have fallen into traps of deep and prolonged distraction in our lives in one way or another. Whether it was relationships that were not serving us, jobs that we stayed in even though it didn't feel right, using alcohol or other substances, or just daydreaming and procrastination, we are both experienced in overcoming these obstacles.  Want to hear some of the tools and tips we use when distraction tries to grab a hold? We've got plenty!
Enjoy!

In this episode we discuss our experiences with manifesting. We have, through years of trial and error, come to a nice balance between setting our intentions, trusting in the universe, taking action steps toward our dreams and letting go of the outcomes. The laws of manifesting dreams into reality have proven themselves to us time and time again, so we wanted to share some of our stories and our knowledge with all of you! Get ready this is our favorite episode yet, ENJOY!!!

We can find ourselves pushing too hard in life sometimes, trying to control too much.  Even with things that can be healthy for us like diet, exercise,  and yoga if we take them to extremes they can be unsustainable and even harmful. In this episode Kelly and Allen speak about finding the practices that work best for them, about being skeptical of different spiritual teachers and teachings, and about incorporating a healthy balance into a modern lifestyle.  Listen and laugh with your favorite hosts, Enjoy!
