Pursuing happiness is at the top of our mind, but do we truly understand the essence of it. What is your source of happiness and how is it affected by variables like money, social media, friends or family as we seek or chase it in the world we live in today?

I'm joined by Fredrik Samanta, a professional coach in Zurich, where we explore this topic further to understand how we experience the joys and sorrows of happiness through personal experiences. 

Look within you, find your genuine motivation and live your own balance. 

You may find ways to understand, unlock and strengthen your source of inner contentment and happiness.

A series of topics sharing insights to become comfortable being uncomfortable!  

Does Spirituality make you feel uncomfortable? In hindsight, I not only looked to distinguished Religion from Spirituality, but also struggled with 'new age' ideas around Spirituality that have become more prevalent. Until I connected the dots and had my 'A-Ha' moment!

I'm joined by Fredrik Samanta, a professional coach in Zurich, and Indira Kennedy, Founder and Director of Conscious Leadership. 

We discuss: 

1. "I am not my Mind or my Brain"
2. Spiritual vs. Sexual Curiosity 
3. Religion and Spirituality
4. Head vs. Heart 
5. Science and Spirituality

Don't believe everything you think or wonder what you will worry about next. When the noise and emotional clear, you will be left with a Still Mind and a Wise Heart.

This was a beautiful conversation. Indira Kennedy, Founder & Director of Conscious Leadership, and I re-visit each of her 8 Elements and summarize how these practices  can truly lead to clarity.

The 8 Elements have been developed through insight and deep consideration to unlock Personal Power through Self-Reliance, Self-Trust and Self-Acceptance. 

Each practice on its own or collectively can serve as a daily ritual and come to our aid when we encounter a challenge, opportunity or dilemma. 

As we bring the weekly series to a close, we hope that the 8 Elements lead you to a Still Mind, Wise Heart. Bring the best of you forward.

Indira Kennedy, Founder & Director of Conscious Leadership, culminates her 8 Elements for Self Mastery through a beautiful conversation on Meditation. 

Meditation is a daily dose of Love. Meditation is for everyone (guided and non-guided) and enables us to develop self-reliance, self-trust and self-acceptance by creating life from the inside out. You focus on the present and release mental and spiritual blocks that heal the physical. 

Indira and I discuss several tips to get started into meditation (environment, duration, time of day, etc.), as well as several reasons why some are reluctant to start meditating. 

Next week, we will bring the 8 Elements together and reflect on the journey towards a Still Mind, Wise Heart.

Indira Kennedy shares her 8 Elements for Self Mastery and conducts a 'live' practice of Attunement. 

Think of it like finding the right frequency on a radio. Once the signal is clear, you find harmony amongst your emotion, instinct and energy. The practice will raise your vibration to a higher level - the result is powerful - you will supercharge your Spiritual Warrior! You will be able to respond with appropriate language and behaviors based on your or another person's emotional state. 

According to Indira, Founder & Director of Conscious Leadership, Attunement builds upon the 8 Elements that we have discussed. 

Indira guides us through an Attunement practice. I invite you to practice it at 30:58 into the podcast or 29:45 into the YouTube video. 

We are white belts and with practice, we can become black belts. The world around us will benefit from your clarity and harmony regardless of external forces. You will get out of your own way. 

Next week Element (8): Meditation.

Our series with Indira Kennedy and the 8 Elements for Self Mastery continues by aligning heart and mind with the right attention through Journaling.

The symbol of Heart and Hand joined in purposeful action is a powerful one. 

According to Indira, Founder and Director of Conscious Leadership, the practice of Journaling is a way to catch inspirations, contemplate change and understandings about life. Among so many benefits that you will discover for yourself, you have a record of your way to measure your progress. 

This practice goes beyond a written or typed 'Dear Diary' moment. How you journal is up to you, but Indira shares how you can be more effective. 

Indira shares her process 

1. Pick your time of day - morning, afternoon or evening. 
2. Grab pen and paper (you learn and retain better through writing instead of typing)
3. Take a few deep breaths and simply write or draw your 'thoughts'
4. Reflect, process, and learn. 

As you write, you will clean your slate, bring hindsights into insights to greater foresights and build self trust. 

The book you carry under your arm will become your wisest teacher.

Our weekly series with Indira Kennedy and her 8 Elements for Self Mastery continues as we delve into deeper thought with Contemplation.  

Would you rather have a way of exploring your thoughts in ways that actually lead you out of the maze of possibilities and straight to the richest answers? The process is simple, the practice is mastered over time! 

According to Indira, Founder and Director of Conscious Leadership, the practice of contemplation is key to leadership. It starts with thinking and then goes beyond it. Contemplation uses the skills of Mindfulness to ask for deeper answers beyond the rational brain by going into the Knowledge of the Heart. This Knowledge is pure wisdom.

Indira shares and encourages a simple process to bring this to life: 

1. Think of your dilemma and spending time WRITING out all the details - what is the real dilemma?
2. Create a question that will help you crystallize the answer to your dilemma - go deeper and beyond. 
3. Sit quietly and be STILL. BREATHE. WRITE down what comes to mind.
4. Repeat steps 2-4 at least 3 times - you may receive a different answer. The answer from your heart is usually the truth. 
5. See what the answer means to you and how you apply it to your original dilemma - journal and decide what action you will take.

It may sound simple - it will become so. Practice this over time, ensure you set aside quality time to do it and as you improve, you will be ready to link it to the other Elements in moments of calm or storm.

Our weekly series of Indira Kennedy's 8 Elements for Self Mastery continues as we discuss Energy.  

Energy is needed to put Intention into feeling, feeling into thought and thought into action. Your levels of energy go beyond the physical energy of how much stamina you have each day to the quality of the energy you emanate from your very being.

There is an endless source of energy available to you when you focus on its Source. 

Indira, Founder and Director of Conscious Leadership, brings the element of Energy to life through  

1. The Four Qs (Quotients): Physical / Environmental, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual
2. Energy vs. Anxiety: Low/High Energy vs. Negative/Positive Emotion
3. Mapping Energy throughout your day / overlay with colleagues to maximize your effectiveness 

Without energy, your are lost to your innate Power, and as a leader, your Power is your strongest ally and guide to success.
