Beyond politics lies our shared humanity. When we witness each other as complete human beings - not just political views - we can break free from fear and anger.
Jill's 'aha moment' came when she learned to separate people from their politics. She realized she could release the knot in her stomach, step back, and view differences with objective kindness. She was no longer held hostage by fear.
We all have the capacity to enjoy and respect each other when we look past political labels. The key is becoming a compassionate witness - seeing each other's full humanity while holding space for different perspectives.
The path forward isn't about eliminating disagreement. It's about refusing to let politics override our ability to connect as people who can be friendly, understanding, and kind to one another."
"Beyond politics lies our shared humanity. When we witness each other as complete human beings - not just political views - we can break free from fear and anger.
This transformation begins when we start asking different questions - not 'How can I prove them wrong?' but 'What experiences shaped their view?' Not 'Why are they so misguided?' but 'What hopes and fears do we share?' When we approach each other with curiosity instead of judgment, we create space for genuine connection beyond the political divide."
Dreams—what do they mean? Do they link us to alternative realities? How can we access and interpret them?
How can we access and pay attention to our dreams and find the messages we need to hear? What information can come through, and how does it allow us to become one with our whole? How can we reach out to gain this information? What can we do to record and not forget and analyze our dreams? Many messages come through, but so many of us lose the information that comes through as we wake.
How can we discover or remember our dreams by changing our brain waves to access dreams and our inner wisdom? What is the healing aspect of dreams?
How do we deal with the unexpected in our lives? Something is happening; our cards are in the air, and we must decide what to do. How do we pick them up? We are responsible for what is in front of us. Treat it not as a nasty joke but as a game. Pick up the last one; where does it go? How do I pick up the unexpected challenges in my life and deal with them? We can pick them up individually; otherwise, we get overwhelmed.
When we can't find which way to go, be flexible and ready for the next thing to drop. What do I do now? Flexibility is the key. Discover how to be flexible with everything, including what is happening with our bodies. Remember, it's your choice what you do and how you pick up the cards on the floor. Look at what we chose and where we want to go. We have the power in some way. If we stay flexible, we will find a way to do things differently; we can choose to change it's our choice, our mind.
As long as we accept responsibility for our choices and do not blame ourselves, we can find unique ways to live our lives.
Drop judgment of ourselves; when we sit in judgment of ourselves or others, we close down, and then we can't change. We are here on Earth to make choices. 52 pick up is a great concept. We are here to experience and pick up the cards we have thrown up in the air. A whole process is happening. Jill says that even though she has had so many health challenges, including cancer. She picks up the cards and always finds humor in situations. Humor gives us joy, and laughter heals powerfully. Jill always finds going to humor lightens everything.
Do what we do with appreciation. We can get lost in what we have to do rather than appreciate it. Whatever we can do to make our earth walk lighter and happier for ourselves and others is the most beautiful feeling.
Why have so many of us lost the sense of belonging? Essentially, we belong to ourselves. We lose the ability to know that as children. Let's explore how we can re-find this wonderful and complete place within.
How can we stop looking outside ourselves to others? When we do, we'll find a smoother, more peaceful path in life.
"If we have no peace, it's because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." Mother Theresa. We are a part of everyone and everything, not just our close or immediate family or loved ones. When we realize that we are one people belonging to the earth, we know that we naturally belong. We have forgotten our pathways to our source or oneness; it's easy to feel scared and needy to belong to someone or something. We can become desperate to find someone or something to attach to. Taking time to connect to our inner peace, joy, and stillness, we realize that we always belong to that place within.
Let's explore how we can find our space of completeness that lets us know that we are always a part of everything and everyone. When we use the heart exercise of breathing love over everything and everyone, we recognize that we are all one.
Keanu Reeves shared how he lost depression when he realized that he was not alone.
Finding peace through cancer. How can we find peace, humor, and kindness as we travel through cancer treatment? Jill has had cancer for many years now; she shares her wisdom and suggestions for those with cancer.
Jill asks, "Who are you suffering for, yourself or others." She shares that it is time for you to decide who is around you and stop trying to do what others want you to do. She shares what has worked for her and how she finds humor, peace, and kindness, moving beyond the fear of dying and suffering. There is nothing to fear when we know how to change how we look at our lives and who we have around us. We begin to know that we are the ones to make the choices if we can or decide who can help us with the choices we need to make.
Jill has the best sense of humor and feels that laughter is everything when we are ill, although finding the energy can sometimes be hard. Laughter eases pain, heals relationships, and makes the process more bearable.
"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself if I would want to do what I am about to do today, and whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know that I need to change something." Steve Jobs.
If sometime during the day we don't have a smile on our face, we know that something needs to change.
Looking in the mirror and letting go of thoughts can bring us to a source, help us re-find our life path, and discover what makes us delighted. We often get lost in what others want or think we should do. There are so many stressors on us to be what everyone else wants us to be.
Where would we start? How can we work with what we have and make small changes? We can start with minor changes; we can change within where we are, like reinventing our house or relationship. We can bring in a creative change; how can we shift it around so that it brings delight?
How can we do this? We explore how we can change our lives with little changes. Grounding and being with nature can help us to get clarity in our lives.
A Sundance Maka Waconi: Circle of Life in South Dakota Jill and her husband's journey. The power of change and the adventure of transformational experiences. They decided not to follow a map but to follow their senses. They took no freeways or highways, just a sense that guided them. They used their senses and intuition on this fantastic journey. This trip became an empowering and transformational experience.
A feeling of freedom comes when we are not afraid of change. We are all in a state of change; when we approach these changes with a heart base rather than a state of fear, we can experience significant transformation, joy, and peace.
Give into the flow of change, and you'll be surprised.
Relationship break ups. Relationship break ups. How to move beyond the pain. What can we do? How can we find greater wisdom and peace through this process? How do we navigate relationship break ups, family, or partners?
Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? This is a question we must ask ourselves when we face a breakup. It's time to take a walk, a train ride, a bus ride, or a road trip so that we can step. The key is, what was my part in this? We need to step out of the circle of argument and judgment and go where we can step back and step into our innate wisdom.
But what can we do, and how can we get to that place? Lets explore!
What is success, and what is failure? Why are we so focused on both? How do we succeed and fail? Does success bring us happiness? When we are dying, it is not about success or failure. We have to stop the comparison. Let's explore what success is in different countries and how success is so different in so many places for so many people. What is success for you? When you are dying what will success be for you?
In the end, it's not about what we have, but rather those that we've loved and how we have loved.
Steve Jobs said, I have succeeded, and it doesn't matter; it's about our loved ones, how we have loved, and how we have shown up. Success is getting what we want, happiness is liking or not judging what you have.
What are we pursuing and why? We have to stop the comparison.
Success is getting what you want, happiness is liking what you have. Ingrid Bergman
How to live, thrive, and find peace with dementia. Dementia is a process of losing our rational mind, and yet we can support the individual in moving into places beyond the mind. The person's essence we know is always there, but the person we love and know is often disappearing. How can we support them and find a place of acceptance and ease?
Many of those with dementia get fearful as dementia progresses; how can we support individuals in finding meaning and depth in this process?
As caregivers, we must take breaks and do things we love to maintain a sense of self. It isn't easy, but we share ideas to help. We are all affected by dementia; when a family member has it, the whole family is affected.
We share stories, tools, techniques, and ideas to allow us to move beyond the fear of the mind and body changing. How can we help them feel safe in a changing world?
