There's not an area in our lives and our society that is not under the microscope of change. Nothing is in more drastic need of a revolutionary remaking than our national politics. Alaska's legendary broadcaster and longtime news guy, Steve Heimel calls in for a history lesson!

The New Design for Living has at its core the principle of oneness, unlike the old design model that is build out of separation and duality. However, in the new way we believe in the scientifically proven interconnectedness of all life. This one change is a massive one and alters everything! When you realize you're one with Nature, you have more reference and respect for Mother Earth and your role as a steward of this precious planet. When you understand deeply that you're one with everyone because we all come out of the same stuff, you realize how deeply the trance of separation runs in our thinking, feelings and actions. This one shift is a game changer for sure. 

"You complete me." 

"I don't think so!"  

In this episode, I talk about one of my most favorite new design models and that's love. This includes self-love, love for others and romantic love. In the old design model, we look for something outside of ourselves to complete us because we're living in separation. However in the new way, we come to our relationships already whole and therefore seek to be complemented. 

We continue our conversation about the importance of having a healthy relationship to change and the human experiences associated with it. Change is the foundational element of The New Design for Living where you are The Architect of your life. We all have some stuck energy around change and this episode offers a crash course in this important topic so you can move more freely in these times of uncertainty. 

In order to reimagine your life, you have to have a healthy relationship to change. In episode two, I talk about the elements of change: chaos, confusion and uncertainty and how to see these natural moments from a fresh perspective.  Such a willingness dissolves resistance and empowers you in new ways. 

The eighteen findings that this experiment yielded represent some of the most insightful, educational and life changing information I've ever received and realized. Without a doubt, they summarize this journey from my head to my heart and beyond. So applicable to life right now as we know it, I started this podcast with this findings. Those "episodes" are different from this audiobook version because back in June I took one finding at a time and talked more about the discoveries found as a result of this 100 day experiment. If you listen to and share anything this week, may it be these nuggets of wisdom that came through me to you. I'm using them daily in my life as I like you navigate these times of outrageous change and upheaval. Turns out, that the only constant in change is our relationship to ourselves, our devotional practices, whatever they may be, that keep us tethered to that centered place within us that is untouched by the craziness in the world around us. 

Thank you for listening to my audiobook! I hope it has been an enjoyable ride. Looking forward to seeing what transpires next week as we return to our weekly episodes of "The Confusion Experiment." Enjoy. 

As I entered the last ten days of my experiment, I was clearly changed by my experience. Meditation allowed me to distance myself from myself to such a degree that I became the observer of everything I am, everything I think and the patterns of behavior I was trapped in. I was learning about self-love, something my upbringing deemed as selfish. Now I saw it as selfless. I transcended my roles of daughter, sister, friend and ascended to the experience of my divine self. Even still, on day 94, I put my meditation off till the evening however this time met it with much more compassion and less judgement. Mostly though, I came to realize how my mind works, the Truth about my thoughts and my thinking and how important the heart is in living an authentic life. Here are the final ten days of my 100 day experiment. Next week I'll sahre with you "the findings" that the experiment revealed. Timely information for all of us. Enjoy. 

There's no doubt about it. My weekend retreat with Michael Beckwith propelled my transformation. As if meditating for one hour a day wasn't enough, I head off into the California desert for two full days of silence. Life changing. As we continue through my 100 days of meditation, there is a noticeable difference in my experience while meditating and you hear it in my sharing. Day 60 starts off with a poweful command to the Universe: I'm ready for change. Little did I know I'd go on to create a transformational program called, "Ready for Change" with now over 85 graduates. Seeds, seeds, everywhere. 

Days 61-75 are no less shocking in their expansive and accelerating personal growth. Letting go of my storyline.  Clearing the storeis that limit me.  I'm letting go of a 53 yaar old story and identity. I'm turning in my victim card. The old skin cannot hold the new wine. All of them are chapter titles! Hold onto your hat, your heart and let go of your mind. The chrysalis phase is nearly complete. Enjoy the ride. 

Here we are at the half way point of my 100 day meditaiton experiment and you can definitely notice how my sharing is starting to shift. The deep space and place to which meditating for an hour every day has brought me is starting to change me. It's certainly changing what I'm talking about as the insights filling my awareness are taking on a higher realm of perspective. In these next 14 days, I am clearly beginning the journey from my head to my heart and what a long strange trip it's been! In fact, Day 50 is entitled, "How can I live from my heart without the dismantling of my mind?" 

What continues to make this story so unique is that the curtain is pulled back for all the world to see! I am on the operating table and I am inviting you in to witness the surgery which includes the cutting away of what no longer serves me and the healing of many issues that were embedded in my thinking. As with any committment of this level, there comes a point when you turn the corner. That turn, that corner is here in this next episode of The Confusion Experiment. Enjoy.
