The Self Study Project

Life is a mirror and it is always showing us what we need to see - about us and others.

A very important question to ask at this time is, Are we deflecting Or reflecting?

Perhaps we feel stuck.

not progressing. not healing.

 In this episode, we share how reflection and seeing life as a mirror is not only powerful for greater growth but essential for transformation. The pieces of the puzzle are many to creating wholeness. To see life as a mirror allows a direct route to personal growth and wellbeing .

We're talking healthy body image and sex education for children and parents with special guest Maylia who is 14 years old. Our youth are being used for the sexual dysfunction of adults. Through the toys that they play with, the media distortion of body image, the readily available pornography, and the online access to people beyond your control, our kids are seeing things and doing things that rob them of their youth and will have negative effect on their future relationships. Where does this start? How are we teaching self-respect and sacred intimacy if we are in a society that creates body image shame and guilt? We discuss this and more.

This TIME we are in needs "us" to rise up more than ever before.

With chaos and corruption from

politics

- covid

- racism

- media -

division

- medicine

- injustice

... We can see major healing needs to happen.

What is our part in all of this?

What are the solutions?

Let’s have conversations, and let's move past social engineering on every topic that herds us into more division. Let’s be about the solutions.

We have a powerful opportunity to be on the planet right now. How can we individually make the greatest impact which permeates into the collective field?

2020 what are you here to teach me?

2020 how might I show up and be of service?

2020 let me rise in my purpose - it matters more now than ever!

2020 we love you even though you are teaching us tough lessons,

We love you because you want more for us.

2020 we are listening. With our minds, with our hearts and with our souls.

The Self Study Project podcast has a big message to consider in this Crucial time. There is a necessary uprooting, looking at hard truths, and getting uncomfortable. Discomfort and uncertainty is the catalyst for change. The revolution is compassion and it will lead us beyond the limitations we now know; From fear to love is the elevator of progression. We discuss the importance of fear's underlying message, which calls us into safety.

We invite you to reflect and together we may rise. Please email us questions at [email protected].

How might we show up in times of fear and uncertainty? You are more capable and equipped with far more resources and wisdom than you might have thought. In a world where we are bombarded with fear and no solutions, where do we go for answers? Let's all have a discussion and unravel the programming, upgrade internally, and be curious what is beneath fear. Underneath fear is some of our greatest insight on how to show up bigger and brighter than ever before.

What is Truly Integrative Healing? Can you heal your life addressing only the body? Only the mind? Only the spirit? We ask retired Family Nurse Practitioner, Paula Vetter, who has more than 40 years combined experience in Traditional Western Medicine and Holistic Medicine these questions. From her unique perspective we discuss what a truly INTEGRATIVE approach to wellness looks like. Listen to this extra special episode on what integrity and harmony of body, mind, and spirit means to somebody who knows both sides of what sometimes feels like opposing opinions.

Do you know what is more important than your resolution to "_______" insert anything here?

.

Change the way you think about "it" first! Detox your thoughts!

.

January's frequency is all about change, and the best way to hold onto these resolutions you seek is to change your mind about it completely.

.

"I want to stop feeling fat and unhealthy." This is what I hear from clients often. What they don't expect to hear is that the resolution can be immediate even though they often think it will take much time and a lot of work to resolve their state of "fat and unhealthy."

.

The more consistently they change their mindset, the more their behaviors align with their desired outcome.

.

You see, you can't exercise till you drop, eat #veganuary, journal because you're told to, restrict your favorite things, or change anything from anything less than "love" as your driving force.

.

From ***already*** loving yourself so much, you eat healthy and delicious foods.

.

From so much gratitude for it, as it is today, you move your vessel (your body) in healthy ways consistently.

.

From the emotions you'll feel once you reach "this goal," you visualize already having completed it.

.

Rather than focusing on all that you "don't want any longer" or "don't have but really want" - feel, think, speak, and act from the place of already being there.

Whether this story describes an actual event or not is unknown. However the lesson it teaches is tremendously beautiful and important. In essence, the story reminds us that nobody is perfect, and everyone is continuously changing and progressing in their journey of spiritual growth. Therefore we should not be quick to judge others and take things personally, but realize where they are coming from and handle them with a compassionate attitude no matter if they have treated us badly in the past.

Every year, we offer a Women's Wellness Retreat in Yosemite, and this year, our 4th annual offering was transformative for us as practitioners and our guests. We explored the depths of energetic healing and really sat with the question, what do we need to release? Also, where are we stuck? This podcast offers opportunities to learn more about self-study and our Retreats are the physical implementation of the tools that we continue to learn and implement to do just that. Join us for this episode to hear about the retreat that sold out in less than 48 hours for 2020 and about future Retreats such as Kauai. www.KolibriRetreats.com

Do you know the state of your mental health? Do you take the time for self evaluation as to be aware of your current state of mind? We are often so busy in our lives that we don't take inventory but instead react and emote. Depression, anxiety, stress, and otherwise unprocessed emotions are experienced by all. We must normalize this conversation! In this episode, we discuss holistic ways to self evaluate and evolve your mental health.
