Do you feel you have less time to get things done? Do things affect you more intensely than before?

Throughout this episode, you'll hear about the importance of community, connection, and consciousness in our fast-paced world.

Every person who crosses our path does it to teach us something, and we must be grateful to them for that. Even those who hurt us the most? Especially those who hurt us the most.

In this episode, our conversation at the virtual campfire revolves around the challenges of deception and authenticity in personal relationships and the freedom to follow our true call and liberate ourselves from what anybody thinks.

"If you find flowers, cut them. You don't pull it by the roots. You cut the flower, offer a bit of tobacco, and say: Thank you. And as you go around, you ask; you don't just take, you ask. Ask and drop your offering. Only take a few of each thing that you're taking. If it's something on the ground, like a pine cone, I feel like everything has an energy, everything is alive, you still ask, even if it is a rock." - Tina Zufelt.

In the mid-90s, Dr. Masaru Emoto conducted an experiment to prove water's "skill" to transport words' vibrations. The results were remarkable: he observed high-vibration words like love or gratitude formed beautiful patterns on frozen water and low-vibration words like war or hate did the opposite.

How do words affect a body that is 70% water, then?

In today's episode, in another soul-to-soul conversation, I invite you to reflect on the power of words, the ones we use to talk to ourselves, to others, about ourselves and others, and the ones we use to describe what happens in our lives.

Throughout this episode, you'll hear about language's impact on our thoughts and lives, relationships, and the reality we create for ourselves. You'll also hear about how to reframe the perception of adversity, and how handling life challenges with grace can create a more peaceful existence for us and those around us.

• Think about your words, be kind to yourself and others (51:20)
