The Inspired Being Podcast

Working on yourself, whether through therapy, yoga, acupuncture, and all the other healing modalities, deserves kudos. Great job! But what do you do when you feel like you have completed that work? Now what?
With this listener-suggested topic, Liz and Dave discuss our society's deeply-ingrained hyper-masculine conditioning and how to adjust our mindset to discovering the magic of inspired action.

Please, tell me what I'm supposed to do to be more spiritual! We are both familiar with being asked these questions, but of course, it would not be very spiritual of us to just give you the answers! Listen to find out why this question makes Liz a jerk and how Dave's embodiment of spirituality makes it difficult to discern what even is considered a "spiritual practice" anymore.
After all, isn't simply living a life the ultimate spiritual practice?

From psychology to shamanism, we have all the tools you need to parent your inner child! These young parts of us are often calling for our attention and care - and are likely asserting themselves into our relationships hoping to get the care that they need. Once you get in touch with your inner young ones and hear their story, you can provide them the love, play, and freedom that they seek... thereby freeing them - and you!

In this episode we share “the secret” to manifestation! Just when you thought we left the "toxic and triggered" energy of our recent episodes behind, we discover that once again, we need to pay attention to our shadowed thoughts and feelings  in order to manifest our desires! Lift out of the density of doubt, get in alignment, and join us as we co-create some amazing manifestations!

"Toxic and Triggered" doesn't just make for a great band name - it's also a bunch of lingo we throw around in sessions. After a wonderful time with Love, we dance with what is not-love and toxify ourselves! We wade in some noxious gas and watch how it quietly seeps in through vulnerability, hardens its host, and presents intense challenges to relationships and work environments. Ultimately, the detoxifier must come from within... but perhaps some dark humor may help along the way.

We are keeping the loving vibes of Valentine's Day going with today's chat - after all, love is the energy that heals all wounds!
Of course, we cannot talk about love without exploring the barriers to it. Fear, projections, and conditional love are at the heart (ha!) of our talk today. Liz shares how her awareness of resilient and motivating love is based on her work with the toughest and roughest clients and Dave needs a minute to think about the intrinsic connection between hurt and love.
We hope you LOVE this episode!

We bring it all together today - mind, body, spirit... and beyond. We explore non-physical reasons for physical ailments and the interplay between our minds, emotions, and physical bodies. Discover the deeper meaning of Liz's "pain in the neck," and how acupuncture is a powerful modality to address all things as one.

We hear so much about masculine and feminine energy in both cultural conversations and the world of spirituality. These themes have shown up in many of our episodes already, and will certainly be repeated in the future. With our combined masculine and feminine energies, we explore how these are independent of gender and how they show up both within each of us and in relationships.
Are you dying to know how the episode turns out? Or are you down for the winding journey that we take? Come along for the ride as where we drive past Dave's one-season run with fantasy baseball, make a pitstop with a monk meditating in the woods, and do some loop-de-loops with relationship dynamics.

Today we shed the fear and traditional societal teachings about cannabis, psilocybin, and ayahuasca in order to explore the potential for these plants to be used for medicinal purposes. We have been hearing about these plants from our clients for years, and we are starting to see more news publications acknowledging the potential benefits for mental health. Could these plants really shift from their history of outlawed-shame to become the mental and spiritual health allies that perhaps they were originally intended to be? As a couple of holistic practitioners, we are excited by these possibilities!

** DISCLAIMER: We acknowledge that in many areas there are still legal issues to using these plants so our discussion is based on anecdotal  reports from clients. If you are interested in learning more please find QUALIFIED practitioners and check your state or country's laws. We do not advocate putting yourself at risk of health or legal recourse to explore these plant medicine options. Please talk to your licensed practitioners and fully educate yourself with well-researched data.

If you are struggling with addiction issues to these, or any other substances, you can seek help at Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Hotline at  1-800-662-HELP (4357)
