A recent review on apple podcasts that said “remember where you came from” sparked a memory of some song lyrics that has resonated with Heath for many years. Our scars that we accumulate are sometimes covered up for one reason or another. We feel like we need to hide our scars, both physical and mental, so that we don’t appear to be “damaged goods” to the outside world. When in all reality, we need to wear those scars like a badge of honor to show off what an amazing finished product we are. Heath talks the Japanese art of Kentsugi, and touches on appreciating his scars by celebrating his milestone of surviving 10 years since his second fight with cancer. We need to view our scars from a place of appreciation, and what they taught us from that experience- rather than looking at it from a perspective of loss.

Do you have a dream? This was a question asked of Heath recently by a colleague, and for the first time he had to ponder what that really meant. Many of us have goals that we set, but are they dreams? Are we aiming for the top of the mountain when we could be aiming for the stars? Heath poses the question to the listeners, what is your dream, when did you last have a dream of what your life could be like, and are you allowing yourself to dream in your life? We stop dreaming at a young age, but why? What could happen if we not only started dreaming again, but if those dreams started to come true?

In today’s episode, Heath welcomes one of his first mentors in spirituality; sound healer extraordinare- Ben Carroll. These two crossed paths when Ben was a Universal Records recording artist for the band Ra, and Heath was a fan in the crowd. When the band went on hiatus, Ben migrated in to a much more spiritual path and found his way into using his professionally trained music talent to redefine a unique genera of music. Ben blends his knowledge of the science of sound and its effects on the body and mind to create a one-of-a-kind sound healing experience. His talents have been sought after from people around the world, and he even placed #6 on the Billboard charts for his category in late 2019 with his third album “Becoming Light”. Ben talks to us about his unique journey, growing up Massachusetts and his studies at Berklee College of Music, to touring with major bands around the world, to his newest venture as a renowned sound healer. He discusses the lessons that the rock life provided, and how the success of his newest venture seemed to divinely unfold in ways he couldn’t have predicted.

In this emotional episode, Heath talks about his view on the 5/25/2020 murder of George Floyd, a black man in Minnesota who died in police custody while a white police officer knelt on his head and neck. Heath speaks from a place of authenticity as a former police officer for 18 years and a politician who now oversees and creates public policy. The questions were posed to him several times this week “how do we improve our situation” and “where do we go from here”. Heath explains there is no single easy answer, but a lot of what needs to change starts within the police culture-scape itself.

We continue our journey through the New York Times Best Seller and world renowned book, “The Power of Now” brought to us by Eckhart Tolle and Namaste Publishing. This chapter focuses on the unmanifested no-thing, the space, the oneness of non -existence that must exist for anything to exist. And how without something to exist in that no-thing, there is nothing to observe. This chapter is pivotal in understanding how we must be present in the observation of our space and place within that space to understand where we are going and what is possible to manifest out off the unmanifested.

The things that we think we want most in life may not be what will ultimately lead to our highest path. In this episode, Heath talks about the realization that he has had several times on several hugely disappointing events in life that he thought were holding him back, when in fact it was like an arrow being drawn back so it could be shot forward!

Only a few days after a very challenging week of negativity and focus on all that was not progressive- Heath changed his perception and focus back to what lights him up, and in turn- a new set of conversations and realizations crossed his path in the last few days. One of which was a fascinating theory on the concepts of “levels” within consciousness. We all come up in life in the base level where the world defines us, and many never realize that there is another level, much like the fish never realizes its in water. But when we awaken to the potential of more to reality and how our consciousness operates within it- our lives have doors start to open that we may have never seen.....since we weren’t looking for those doors in the first place.

F.E.A.R.= False Evidence Appearing Real. The times that we are living in right now make it easy to focus on the negative, fearful and distrustful way of existing. Even those who seem to view life from an elevated perspective can get dragged down into the depths of chaos. Heath talks about his recent struggles with focusing on the “what if’s” of the pandemic, the challenges that the negative views have brought into his life recently, and how he helped those closest to him overcome roadblocks in life to head in the direction of their dreams during this challenging time. We discuss how important it is to monitor your focus now- since the saying “where your attention goes, energy flows” is an all too prevalent truth, no matter what the circumstances are in life. A clip from Dr. Joe Dispenza brings it all together.
