It's a Choice - S01E0036 - Choosing Your Shame and Guilt

Hey Universe!

In this episode, I talk about guilt, shame, and humiliation. How the tools of shame, guilt, and humiliation, employed under the guise of love, are used as insidious and manipulative leverage to attack our personal sovereignty. How guilt, shame, and humiliation are used to serve the selfish expectations of others regarding how they think we should live our lives.

It's a Choice - S01E0035 - Choosing Your Responsibility

Hey Universe!

In this episode, I talk about how I have recently become aware of some of the things that I am responsible for having in my life; things that I was, until just recently, blaming others for doing TO me. Sometimes a hard lesson is learning: the world doesn't test us, it reflects us. I personally found this one hard only because I didn't like what I saw. :) Thanks for the opportunity to learn and grow, Universe!

It's a Choice - S01E0033 - Choosing Your Blame

Hey Universe!

We've all experienced resentment, anger, frustration or some other negative, low vibe emotion. We've all blamed somoeone else for DOING something TO us. How many of us have taken the time to turn that around and to "effectively blame" those who have "wronged" us?

In this episode I talk about taking those time when we find ourselves blaming someone as opportunities for gratitude.

It's a Choice - S01E0032 - Choosing Your Power

Hey Universe!

How many of us are living our lives in an unauthentic way? Living our lives because we feel loyalty to, obligated towards, indebted to someone else expectations, desires or rules? How does it serve us to live our lives to make someone else feel better or happy? What about the relationship we have with ourselves, what we feel is true for yourself? What about our happiness and honoring that?

In this episode, I invite you all to step into your own authority; to reclaim your sovereignty. I invite you all to stop allowing others to be selfish with YOUR life. We all get what we tolerate in life. Most of us tolerate others telling us how we should live our lives. I invite you to consider what your life would be like if you were to, as Rage Against the Machine says, "Take the Power Back".

That podcast will have weekly interviews where we explore relationships and potential solutions to those conflicts through understanding masculine and feminine expressions.

I then talk about things that came to my awareness today around presence, intuition and ways of BEing.

It's a Choice - S01E0029 - Conversations With Milo v1

Hey Universe!

In this episode I bring on my youngest son, Milo. Milo and I talk about some questions he has asked me as he reads Awareness by Anthony de Mello.

We talk about loving yourself, choosing happiness, death, and the law of attraction.

The second half of this podcast is more natural and free flowing conversation. :)

Episode link on YouTube:
It's a Choice - S01E0028 - Choosing Your Values

Hey Universe!

What do you value? What emotional experiences matter most to you and which to you most avoid? What rules have you made up that define whether or not you experience those emotional experiences?

In this episode, starting around the 10 minute mark, I walk through a practical example of how to find answers to those questions based upon what I experienced at The Journey Within (and also at Date With Destiny).

It has been said that we have a "highway to hell, and a dirt road to happiness". Most of us depend on things that are completely outside of our control to bring us our happiness and our pain.

The great news is: it's all made up bullshit; and once we realize what rules we've made up, we can CHOOSE entirely new rules and change the game altogether.

Sounds too good to be true? Perhaps...try it out though. What do you have to loose? Your addiction to your pain?

How's that working for you? :) It wasn't working too hot for me - I'll tell you that much!

All upsets are rule upsets; when we are upset, we are upset because someone or something is not fitting in to the rules we have around something that we value (what we want to emotionally experience)

Below are the prompts for finding your towards and away values:

Toward Values Prompts:
What had to happen in order for you to feel X?
How do you know you're experiencing X?

Toward Value Rules Prompt:
What had to happen in order for you to feel X?
How do you know you're experiencing X?

Away Values Prompts:
In the past, what has been the feeling you would do almost anything to avoid having to feel?
In the past, which of these feelings would you do more to avoid having to feel? X or Y?

Away Value Rules Prompt:
What had to happen in order for you to feel X?
How do you know you're experiencing X?
