Have you ever felt imbalanced by giving far more than you allowed yourself to receive?
Have you ever bottomed out in over giving? 

It's not just the holidays that can ask a lot of us. Life does. 

Giving and receiving go hand in hand and they must be balanced in order to be sustainable. 

I've found the receiving part of the equation is where many of us get stuck. There is an art to receiving. Which is why I created, The Art of Receiving course. It's the perfect time of year to feature this course and I just released Lesson 1 on the Co Create app but wanted to give you a taste of this course for FREE here on the podcast. I hope you'll join us for the whole course and end the year with a full heart that still has capacity to give.

Moving beyond a duality mindset is one of the most helpful steps to living your life in more creation. Reminder, duality is seeing the world in black and white and having a perpetual judgement or rejection of one of these polarities. It's right vs. wrong, good vs. bad, worthy vs. unworthy, etc. When you move into seeing in non-duality (from the unconditional love of the heart), you gain the ability to hold space for both polarities to be one. But making this shift towards more love is helpful when you can spot the moments when duality creeps in. In this episode I'm sharing one of the big red flags that tell me when I'm in the ego and seeing from the dualistic mind.

Resonance is a means of Divine communication to guide our life. And it can often feel like a joy or a block in our own relationships. In this episode we are going to explore the different ways that we can change our resonance to help improve our relationships. Most importantly, we will explore how our body is our resonant instrument and how caring for the body is the #1 way to improve resonance and resolve any interference that may be blocking our ability to feel connected to those around us.

Resonance is hard to describe with words because its really all about feeling. And yet, you have likely had the experience of what it's like to resonate highly with a person or idea or activity vs. what it's like to not have resonance with something. We can often judge ourselves or others based on resonance, when really it's not about who's right or who's wrong and more about being a form of guidance and communication from the Divine to help us navigate our path in the way that will bring us the most joy. The more we can learn to follow high resonance and allow low resonance to just be what it is without judgement, the happier we will be.

It's easy to get caught up in black and white thinking. We can see the world in terms of right and wrong, or good or bad. This is the home of the ego and the voice of judgement that lives in our mind. I don't know about you, but this is a hard place to live. Love is conditional, peace only comes when everything is going the way you want it to, and since we don't have control over the external world, this is also a fragile place to live. In this episode I'm going to share a simple story with you that can help us unlearn this dualistic thinking and see the world with more inclusion rather than judgement.

Cancel culture is not my favorite thing. I do admit, there is a sort of thrill the ego gets in being able to cling to what it thinks is right and metaphorically destroy opposition by cancelling someone through unfollows, unsubscribes, or public declarations of rejection. 

But you know what? The thrill is totally short lived. And it's empty. And more importantly, it is a place of contraction not creation.

When you live in duality (black and white thinking), cancelling any voice that is different than your view can be an automatic response. But the more we can expand our mind and heart into non-duality (oneness), the more we can find and retain connection with the beautiful humans around us.

This is most definitely a practice...AND...it's worth every effort.

One of my favorite lessons from Autumn, is the importance of letting go.Mother Nature makes the process look beautiful and graceful, and dare I say, "easy".But is it easy? How easy is it for you to let things go?

It all depends on how attached we are to something. The tighter we are grasping at something the harder it will be to let it go. In this weeks Co Create Podcast I'm sharing a framework that has forever changed the way I view attachments. It comes from author Don Miguel Ruiz Jr, in his book, The Five Levels of Attachment.

We all have a window of tolerance for what we are willing to feel before we go into contraction and block ourselves from going any further. This happens for both ends of the spectrum. We have a window of tolerance for how much suffering we will endure and how much happiness and joy and pleasure we allow ourselves to feel as well. In this episode I'm going to share with you how I personally learned to go beyond my edges when I thought I just couldn't handle feeling more.
