Life Mastery Wisdom with David D McLeod

Most people have a difficult time thinking of themselves as divine beings. This is mainly because of the overpowering influence of an ego-mind that insists on being in control. But the truth is that divinity is really no more than a heartbeat away, and everyone can have access to their innate divinity relatively easily. Listen in and learn the value of connecting to your own divinity within.

It seems that gratitude is not uppermost in our minds except during the Holiday season. It’s too bad, because gratitude is a powerful force that can make almost every aspect of our lives not merely tolerable, but downright delightful. When we learn how to express gratitude regularly for the obvious gifts in our lives, then very soon we begin to see gifts where we may not have seen them before—even in the darkest areas of our lives. Let’s learn how to make the expression of gratitude an ongoing practice in our lives—and reap the many benefits as we do so.

The ego-mind is not a bad thing, although it can get out of control and try to run your entire life, usually in the form of an inner critic that seems intent on pointing out all your flaws. But if you can quiet the ego-mind and tame that inner critic, then you can bring yourself into a place where you connect with your inner sage. And that is when everything will change for you. Listen in and learn how to connect to your inner sage.

Everyone has beliefs that are dysfunctional or disempowering, and when we do some reflection on them, we may discover that they are also irrational because they are not based in truth. Unfortunately, since most beliefs of this type are beyond our normal awareness, we may continue to abide by them unconsciously. Rather than be at the mercy of such dysfunction, we owe it to ourselves to review our beliefs periodically, and to release the ones that no longer serve us. Learn how in this episode.

The most common symbol of success is almost certainly money. Many people spend most of their lives achieving, accomplishing, and building up their material wealth, but by the end of their lives, most of them confess to being unsatisfied or unhappy even with what they have attained. In this episode, we consider a missing ingredient, Compassion, and look at how life can be improved immensely when we add that ingredient back in.

Most of the fear you experience in your life is much like the roar of an old lion whose teeth have begun to fall out, and who no longer has any power over you. While the roar may still be loud and scary, it is really all just bluster—and mostly harmless. The time has come to stop allowing the old lion to scare you with its toothless roar. Instead, it’s time to start facing the roar and stepping courageously through it to face your fear directly. Silence the lion, take your power back, and fearlessly choose the way you will live your life.

It is easy to fall into the pattern of being a people-pleaser. While this may initially seem like a good way to get along better in the world, in the long run it is actually very disempowering personally and can have a strong negative impact on your enjoyment of life. In this episode, we’ll consider some ways to break the pattern so that you can reconnect to your real self—without creating any kind of chaos or disharmony.

Everyone experiences broken agreements from time-to-time. You may be the one who fails to honor the agreement, or you may be the one who has to deal with it from the other side. Either way, addressing a broken agreement itself can be uncomfortable if you don’t have the right tools for the job. In this episode, you are introduced to three different techniques for dealing with a broken agreement in a way that preserves the sanctity of your relationship.

There is nothing more important in life than knowing the truth of who you really are. Unfortunately, many people become confused after going through years of childhood conditioning that shapes their beliefs about what to think and believe, and how to act and be. The story of the blind men and the elephant is used here as a metaphor to help us wake ourselves up to the truth. Listen to the recording and learn a great practice for bringing that truth into every experience.

If you’ve ever created a vision board, then you have some idea of the power of visualization. It’s a great way to help you enhance the meaning and desire of a particular goal or objective—which often accelerates its manifestation into reality. But you can supercharge the power of a vision board by incorporating the Visionizing process—a form of meditation that involves relaxation, intentional focus, and directed visualization.
