Health Harmony & Happiness with Cathy

Letting go is essential to every cycle in life, but can indeed be challenging. Luckily nature built in an ideal time to help you do this. 

In this episode, I share with you:

1. How you can use nature to your advantage in making letting go of things a bit easier

2. And I'll guide you through a releasing meditation to help you do so.

Join me on a transformative journey of release and renewal. In this episode, I'll lead you through a powerful releasing ritual meditation to help you let go of anything that no longer serves you.

Whether it's physical possessions cluttering your space, emotional baggage weighing you down, or mental patterns keeping you stuck, I gently guide you in surrendering to the natural flow of life's cycles. Learn how to harness intention and reconnect with your inner self as I invite you to create a sacred space to facilitate growth and transformation.

Grab some paper, a pen, and an open mind as we embark on this journey of self-discovery and liberation. It's time to use the power of letting go to align with the natural rhythms of life and make space for the abundance of health, harmony and happiness that awaits.

In this episode, my guest James Reagan of the How We Feel Project, and I talk about emotional intelligence and what it means to your health, harmony, and happiness, and how using a simple app can help you identify, understand and articulate your emotions rather than ignore them.

Emotional intelligence gives us the ability to read our instinctive feelings and those of others. It allows us to understand and label emotions as well as express and regulate them.
 
We show you how using a simple app can help you

1. Identify, understand, and articulate your emotions rather than ignore them
2. Implement strategies to become your best self even in tough moments
3. Begin to recognize patterns in how you're feeling
4. Deepen social connection with those closest to you while doing so.

Want to know how to use the energy that comes with spring to your advantage so that that feeling of exhaustion you get from going 100 mph, 100% of the time starts to lift?

In this episode, I'll share with you:

1. What the rhythm of spring represents.
2. How the energy of spring might show up in your life.
3. Three ways to invite the rhythm of spring into your life.
4. The one thing you need to remember to do to use the energy to your benefit.

The shift into spring offers up another opportunity for us to celebrate our rhythms and remember to use them to our advantage. Each seasonal shift we experience, just like the lunar shifts and personal cyclical shifts, allows us to not only practice transitioning form one thing to another, but also removes some of the pressure we might place on ourselves because of self-imposed or others' expectations if we place intention around those transitions.

Today in honor of International Women's Day, I want to continue to honor one of the women I admire most in this world.  A woman who has lived a full life with a relaxed ease.  Leading with love and connection rather than fear and avoidance, she is a beautiful picture of what Health Harmony and Happiness is.

In part 2 of my conversation with my 104-year-old friend, Christa Belknap, we dive deeper into her wisdom and perceptive insights on life.   We talk about life amid historical events, her unanticipated adaptability to technology and the profound impact of education. Christa shares her adventurous side, reminiscing of her time in a motorcycle club and traveling with her husband to wistfully recounting the emotions attached to historical events like sending family off to war.

Her contagious spirit of resilience and adaptability combined with her love for others and curiosity in life instills a significant message.

It's time to get back into a routine. The body works in patterns and habits, so when it's spent some time being out of sorts because of schedule changes or downtime, as has been the case for me a lot recently with winter break and an obnoxious number of snow days, how do you return to the sense of normalcy or routine that keeps you thriving?

In this episode, I'll share with you...

1. How to know when you need to invite more routine into your life or back into your life
2. Why routines, patterns and habits actually create expansion and freedom in your life
3. How to balance routine with flow

After a restful break, it's time to rekindle routines and habits for a mindful journey through winter. In this episode I explore the delicate balance between structure and flow, navigating winter's pause while reigniting creativity and self-discovery. Learning to transition through life with ease is what cultivating health, harmony and happiness is all about. I share insights on cultivating wellness, fostering connection, and embracing the beauty of easing through seasonal transitions.

Instead of burning out this holiday season, keep your light shining even amidst the chaos that might seem to surround you. 

It's the season of rush, rush, rush. And because it is, easy to get overwhelmed with worries of getting all the things done--gifts for everyone on your list, coordinating schedules to celebrate Christmas, attending gatherings, and of course, doing the things you want to do just for fun in the spirit of the season. In this episode, I'll tell you:

1. How you can offer up the gift of the present this season
2. What it means to connect with your own light
3. How to protect your light from being burnt out by the New Year

In an effort to clarify how I view the connection between Christianity and manifestation, from my current state of consciousness, and that I didn't share in the last episode, I riff about what it means to be Christian and believe in the power of manifestation.

I believe these concepts can coexist and wasn't completely clear on that in the previous episode.  In my mind both practices revolve around allowing positive energy to flow, fostering abundance for oneself and others.

My intention in sharing this episode is to help bridge the gap between a more conservative Christian viewpoint and the more mystical "woo-woo" beliefs. I believe in using positive energy to create beneficial circumstances for ourselves and others, with the understanding that the force behind this energy is God.
 
Manifestation does not have to been seen as creating something from nothing, but rather shaping circumstances through free will to foster greater well-being. I believe that everything good and positive comes from God, and ultimately, we have to surrender to His plan for our lives, but we can indeed create the circumstances and own our thoughts and actions to live in a way that moves us towards what we want to be inviting into our lives.

*Please note the views and opinions expressed in this episode are a discussion about personal beliefs and experiences of the host and guest.

Christianity and manifestation can indeed go in the same sentence–it’s about allowing the positive flow of energy to create abundance, which essentially what prayer is all about.

I believe that God is the Great Creator...of all.  And with that, we can take the steps to live in a way that aligns with where we want to be in life, but ultimately it is up to God.  

We can't create anything from nothing, it is all God-given.  And yet, there is a way of being or living in this world that also allows for us to create the mindset and open heart to connect with the goodness that the love of God has to offer.

In this podcast episode, my guest, Rachel Bayford, and I discuss the compatibility of Christianity and manifesting. We explore the idea that manifesting is about being open to creative possibilities, making intentional requests, and connecting with inner guidance. The episode highlights our personal stories related to manifesting and emphasizes the importance of positivity and faith in this practice, suggesting that it can indeed align with Christian beliefs.

Here's what you'll learn in today's episode:

1. What manifesting is
2. Why it's OK to manifest even if you're Christian
3. The steps to manifest
4. What manic manifesting is and why it won't work for you.

A little about Rachel:
Having studied Wayne Dyer's work for many years Rachel believes that “everything is perception and when we change the way we look at things, those things we look at, change!” Rachel prides herself in reframing and turning negative emotions into positive feelings and thoughts.
