Prosperity On Air

Self love is the foundation of your single, most important relationship - that with yourself.

"Something inside you emerges... an innate, indwelling peace, stillness, aliveness. It is the unconditioned, who you are in your essence. It is what you had been looking for in the love object. It is yourself". - Eckhart Tolle

Today is Valentine's Day and I could not not to devote an episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast to the most important relationship of our life.
Self love is win-win for all. It gives you with inner happiness, confidence and peace regardless of what you are going thought in your life

It enables you to make healthier and better choices in every area of your life.

It allows you to avoid comparing yourself to other people and to be happy for other people's fortune.

It enables you to be more loving towards others and to be of greater service to your dear ones and your customers.

And these are just some of the benefits of being committed to loving yourself

This is the topic of today's episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast. It's a solo episode, so there is just me with no guests. I wanted to make it an "intimate" episode, where I can have this personal conversation with you, my audience.

And since today we celebrate love, I wanted to offer you a little gift: a special self love meditation that starts at 24':30'' of the podcast recording. So if you want to use it in your daily meditation practice, your can head directly there.

“You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.” – Deepak Chopra

Living in the present moment, accepting yourself and surrendering to your intuition and to a greater power: this is living an inspired, spiritually guided life.

Marketing and promoting yourself: this is something too many coaching, healers, therapists and artists struggle with. They would rather spend all their time doing sessions or running classes. However, if you are not being seen, new potential clients won't be able to find you.

Luckily there are people like my guest today, Louise Green, that love spending their time understanding technology and finding the best solutions to help their customers' businesses grow.

This is what we cover in today's episode:

- How to become more visible on the Internet

The human brain is one of the most complex structures in the universe. I have read there are as many neurons in the brain as there are stars in the Milky Way. Imagine the complexity.

And for ages this 3 pound human muscle has been a mystery.

Thanks to science, particularly neuroscience - the multidisciplinary science that is concerned with the study of the structure and function of the nervous system - the mysteries surrounding the human brain have been largely unveiled , showing that "(...) we are hardwired to be a certain way for the rest of our lives, and we are not doomed by our genes - rather, we are marvels of adaptability and change" (Joe Dispenza, Foreward to "Mind to Matter" by Dawson Church).

Becoming aware of how we think and of our communication style through understanding tour neurological preferences  strongly influence the way we are, our behaviour, our relationships, our life.

To talk about this topic, I have invited an expert in neuroscience: the joint Managing Director of MyBrain International, Gill McKay.

This is what we'll cover in this episode:

- How neuroscience helps to take people inside their brains, which is both beautiful and liberating
- How neuroscience enables people build self-awareness and understand why they are who they are
- The physiology of the human brain and how it relates to human behaviour
- The scientific evidennce showing that intuition and hunches are not "woo woo" stuff after all
- The importance of being aware of your personality type in your personal life and in business
- A brain-based model of personality types
- Gill's book "STUCK: Brain Smart Insights for Coaches" on how she used neuroscience to help people unlock their challenges

Confidence in teens is important as it allows them to try new things, take healthy risks and solve problems.

When you are confident, you take pride in your accomplishments, you accept frustration and deal with it responsibly, you accept challenges, you don't need to please others to feel valuable.

Unfortunately, low self-confidence is very widespread among young people, especially young girls. They are under continuous pressure from the media, society, expectations from the adults in their life and bullying from their peers.

Luckily there are amazing people like my guest in today's episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast, Confidence Coach Stella Maher, who are creating special programs to help and empower these young girls so that they see the greatness in themselves and develop their potential.

“Meditation is not spacing-out or running away. In fact, it is being totally honest with ourselves.” – Kathleen McDonald

Meditation is a spiritual practice as Reiki is. When I mention the word "spirituality" to my clients, I often see a skeptical look on their faces. Most confuse spirituality for religion, whilst it has nothing to do with it.

So I looked up a definition of spirituality in the English dictionary and here it is: "The quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things."




To me spiritual practices - like meditation and  Reiki - are tools that help us re-connect with our most important, truthful and authentic source of knowledge, inspiration, creativity, intuition: our inner, spiritual self or our soul.

Accessing this source to get the information you need to live better, less stressed, in harmony and to make the right choices and decisions in your life and business is very simple: it only takes as little as 5 minutes a day, to begin with.

The benefits of these practices are immense and you experience them in every area of your life when you make spirituality an integral part of your life and of your business or career too as shown by many scientific studies. For example, "The Harvard Business School along with INSEAD—Europe’s leading business school—have concluded from their research that the two most effective business tools for twenty-first century executives are meditation and intuition. The benefits of meditation in the workplace are cumulative; they build on one another, starting with the individual and from there, positively impacting the performance of the business as a whole." (The Chopra Center)

In today's episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast my guest, Debo Kalley, speaks about how meditation and Angelic Reiki have changed her life and how they are helping her clients.

This is what we cover in today's episode:

- How Reiki changed Debo's life
- What Usui Reiki is
- The difference between Usui Reiki and Angelic Reiki
- How intuition lead Debo to meditation first and then to Reiki as a spiritual and healing practice

- Self love: the most important form of love
- How to deal with the thoughts that inevitably come up during meditation
- How morning meditation makes a difference on how you start and experience your day
- The benefits of coaching to improve one's life and wellbeing
- Debo's experience in a Buddist monastery
- The importance of stopping and doing nothing to find space for yourself and connect with your inner self to get the guidance you need

Digital Marketing, something we cannot do without in our business and that can be very overwhelming, especially when you are starting out.

But knowing who your audience is and where it hangs out on the Internet can be very difficult, especially when you are just starting your business.

In today's episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast my guest, Marta Ceccato, will shed light on some aspects of digital marketing that can be a riddle to you when you are new to the online business world.

Job success and a meaningful job is what everyone - millennials as well as younger and older generations - are looking for.

I don't remember who said that "work ennobles man". True, if he feels happy and fulfilled in his job. However, how many people choose a wrong career - a career where they feel unhappy, dissatisfied and unheard - for the wrong reasons or for deep-rooted beliefs about having a job and financial security.

This is what we’ll cover in today's episode:

- How the breakdown in communication leads to problems in relationships
- How to improve communication in the workplace
