“Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become reality.”-Earl Nightingale

In the second part of this interview with Mariana Ardelean, author of the book “Your time is now, claim your ultimate potential”, we talk about the power of the subconscious mind, and most importantly about the the power of awareness, and how this one is key in our process of transformation. Becoming aware of what’s not working in our life, and of the thoughts and feelings we nourish, initiates us in our path of change, and of actually living life to our fullest potential. This is a powerful conversation we can all benefit from!

Mariana also shares with us one of her favourite (and very easy to follow!) strategies to work through moments of stress. We also talk about her book, and how you can get access to it and learn more about strategies that can support you straight away!

Enjoy the second part of this conversation with Mariana!

Every single second in our life, is a new opportunity to live the life we want. In this lifetime, we are given the power to choose what we want to experience, and what perspective we want to bring to those experiences. A fascinating topic, that touches us all, since we are the creators of our own reality, and the creators of change within and around us.

In today’s episode, I have the opportunity of chatting with Mariana Ardelean, author of the book “Your time is now, claim your ultimate potential” (available on Amazon & Kindle) and founder of Empowering Strategies, about living a life by choice, in which we learn to take responsibility for our decisions and, therefore, create the life that we truly desire. Mariana has a wonderful ability to helps us see how we can stop living on autopilot, and instead move into a more fulfilling and true way of living by exercising choice, and by getting to know our values.

This is the first part of this conversation, so stay tuned for the second part released next week!

Hope you enjoy this episode!

One of the things I hear consistently is: “I am not able to relax, or “I can’t ‘stop’ my mind when I actually want to relax”. This is natural, especially if we have been teaching our mind to run fast, to multitask, and to never slow down. The thing is that when we make a habit of this, we usually tend to crash, and this can feel like anxiety, burn out, depression, dis-ease, among other things. However, we have the power of changing this. We have the power of bringing awareness to what’s not working well, and of going into the tool-box (that we all have) of what we already know, to help us create a habit of stopping, slowing down and relaxing. We also have the power of learning new tools to support us, of finding the right environment to nurture ourselves, and of letting go of habits, people & beliefs that no longer serve us.

It’s time we make our priorities right. We cannot expect the world outside us change, if we are not willing to look within, to take care of ourselves, and, from that place, make an impact in this world.

In this episode I leave you with two exercises you can start doing right away, to bring awareness to how you can start helping yourself slow down, and make time for you!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it for you!

Very big hug your way!

Laura

Have you ever wondered why others might not get you when you are trying to communicate an idea? Or have you ever thought “OMG, I have no idea what this person is trying to tell me”?

I think it’s safe to say, we’ve all been there. Yes, we are all different, and what’s more fascinating is that we actually have different ways to learn from what happens around us and to express ourselves. Learning about this can help us improve our relationships, as well as our response to stress, and most importantly, help us get to know ourselves better, which ultimately, is the key to a fulfilled life.

So, you are in for a treat!

My guest today is Angelica Olaya, she is a Business strategist, coach & mentor to many, and today we are going to talk about something called Representational Systems, what they mean, what they are, how they work, and... you will also get to take a test to find out what your Representational Systems are!

I hope you enjoy this value packed episode made with lots of love!

When it comes to health, the new normal seems to be experiencing pains and niggles all the time, without an apparent reason. It’s as if we had lost touch with our own body, mind and emotions. But, is that really 'normal'?

In the second part of this interview, Rachael Haley, registered Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist based in Sydney, shares with us how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can helps us get that connection back and feel once again in tune with our body. Rachael also shares with us some of the effects that long term stress can have in us, the types of techniques TCM can help us with and why symptom relief is just one aspect of healing.

I hope the second part of this conversation brings you great value!

Have a gorgeous week!

For most us, our current lifestyle involves living in a city where everything is provided for us (the good and the bad!), from plentiful of foods from around the world, no matter what season we are in, to other not so desirable things such as pollution, constant stress, and the effects these can have in our health.

This, in my opinion, has helped us look again at ancient remedies, and at the wisdom of past cultures that have provided us with the solutions (and support) to be able to reclaim our natural state of balance and harmony. And what a better place to start than talking about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture! Oh yes!

In the first part of this interview, Registered Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist, Rachael Haley, from rachaelhaley.com, will be sharing with us what in TCM is considered a balanced or neutral place, how a pattern of disharmony is identified, how this is related to our health and general wellbeing, what Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can do for us, and of course, we’ll we touch on the role of our nervous system and stress!

Enjoy part 1 of this chat, the second part of this interview will be released next week with lots more for you!!

Big hug,

Laura

Self-care is essential for us, and it can take many forms. However, there is something in particular that can really assist us in experiencing a healthy body, and of course, harmony in all levels of our being. That is, paying attention and supporting the natural flow of life energy in our bodies.

In today’s episode we are going to talk about a beautiful modality that can help us with that and, in fact, enhance our whole experience of life! My guest today is Larissa Spence, founder or Spring Willow Healing, an experienced Shiatsu Massage therapist, bodyworker and healer, and we are going to be talking about the wonderful benefits of Shiatsu Massage, it’s origins and philosophy, and why this type of therapy is much more than a massage.

So, take a deep breath in, and let’s dive into this conversation! Enjoy!

Wow! What? 25 Episodes? Yes! Yay!! Wohoo!

As you can tell, I’m on celebratory mood today! ;)

Reaching 25 episodes means 25 weeks of pure podcast love, and of being head over heels with bringing you lots of wisdom, informations, tips, ideas and new people to your awareness. I’m so grateful for you, and for this opportunity! Thank you for being part of this project, thank you for listening!

My goal is, and will be, to introduce you to topics that perhaps you knew a bit about (or maybe not) that can show you a new perspective and provide you with new tools, so that you feel empowered and supported in moments of stress, anxiety, overwhelm or simply, living your day to day.

So, as way to celebrate this achievement, I’ve made a mini compilation of the first few episodes of the podcast. I hope it serves as a reminder and refresher of the first few topics we talked about in this podcast and, who knows, maybe have some powerful a-ha moments! ;)

Ps. YOU are my daily inspiration. And I am grateful for you.

In today’s episode:

Enjoy!!

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” - Dalai Lama

Compassion, juts like LOVE, cannot really be defined by words. We can have an idea of what it is, but it’s only when we start consciously developing it in our hearts that we get it! And when we do this, when we practice it, our inner and outer world changes for the better!

Last year, I had the opportunity to learn from a wonderful human being, and a great teacher, Lama Tendar. It was by being in his presence when I finally comprehended what compassion really is, and of the ability we all have to develop it. I learnt that compassion goes beyond feeling sorry for someone else, and it steps more into the realm of detachment, releasing suffering, acceptance and kindness, leading us, ultimately, to open our hearts to experience LOVE for ourselves and for others.

So, when Lama Tendar said yes to being interviewed, I wanted to ask him about this topic, I wanted us to chat about compassion, so that you may experience this too. I invite you to listen to this interview a few times, as there is a message that goes beyond the spoken words.

Enjoy!

"In a choice between love and fear, choose love" - Marianne Williamson

In times of crisis we are called to step up, and move from fear into LOVE. We are called to raise in awareness, to elevate our consciousness and our frequency, and to connect once again, with one another, and with the whole of creation. We are called to LOVE.

I know that sometimes we can fall into patterns of fear, such as resistance of what’s happening, judgement of others, blame, anger, feeling powerless, among other things, and even though it’s natural to feel this way, it is our duty to break the pattern and take positive action. Action that can create a ripple effect, not only here in Australia, but around the world and beyond.

We are powerful beings, and our hearts are very wise, we know the way already! So, how can we help?

In this episode I share with you 5 different ways in which WE can make a difference right here, right now. I felt inspired to record this episode, and it is my intention that it brings you immense value and an opportunity to reflect too. ;)

Sending you a very big, loving and squeezed hug!

Laura
