June 25, 2021 Projected Patterning: The Journey Back to Our Authentic Self with Suzanne Reilley
When we each embrace our personal journey throughout life, we each get to uniquely become the authors of our own story. Its a narrative that only we get to chose, unless we surrender this role to others.
The unknown is too vast to live within known unhappiness. We remind ourselves- We are all important parts of a much larger system, pieces of the universe’s puzzle that would not be complete without us.
As we launch into this journey to find our way back to our authentic self, There comes a time to consider the possibility that there is a self—a part of us that is real, unique, and essentially us; an us which can be seen as distinct from what we’ve incorporated as an identity based on others' projections, rejections, actions and reactions towards us.
Our guest today is Life Transition Coach, Suzanne Reilley. Suzanne and I share a conversation discussing how projected patterns of belief often hold us from aligning and being our authentic self.
Tune in to find out how to break the pattern, and re-engage with the authentic you on this episode of The Light Inside.

June 17, 2021 The Quiet Mind: How Intermittent Silence Recharges and Rewires our Brains with Krishna Bhatta
"He who is rooted in oneness realizes that I am in every being; wherever he goes, he remains in me.” -Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna
Yet, as human beings, we are often disconnected, not only from the oneness that is self, but also the oneness that is the universe surrounding us.
Until we reunite the two - we remain simply ; at odds.
Our minds are our greatest tool, and when empowered, an become our greatest asset. But often our minds are cluttered with distraction, causing us to lose our focus and connection to the source of this energy.
The antidote- silence.
When we quiet our mind, we recharge our energies. Yet many of us fear this silent reprise. Silence isn't empty, it's full of answers.
We must remind ourselves, as in the immortal words of the poet Rumi- "The quieter we become, the more we learn."
Our guest today, Dr. Krishna Bhatta, is here today, to share how intermittent silence serves as the doorway to meditation and recharging our minds! His meditation app RELAXX is an advanced program for achieving peace, happiness, tranquility and relaxation through understanding of body, mind, and what Krishna calls The Flame of consciousness.
