Whether we live by faith or we follow science, it all leads to the same conclusion- there is negative and positive energies at play. This is the nature of existence.

We are hard wired to see, remember and look for negativity. This is the survival programming, the negativity bias that we can rewire with consistent positive actions, choices, thoughts and behaviours.

Heart coherence can only be found in positivity, and it is this heart coherence that has the power to shape our reality, create our dreams, improve our cognitive function, lower stress and raise our immunity.

Moment to moment, choice by choice we rewire our brains and recondition our bodies, hearts, minds and souls to thrive.

This week’s pod is about Spiritual bypassing, a term coined by John Welwood in the 1980s that he used to define as when we use spiritual ideas, practices, or language to avoid facing painful emotions, unresolved wounds, or real-life responsibilities.

We want to be healed and therefore rush to perform healing, integration and alignment at the expense of true healing. It is a performance, a shiny coat of oneness, surrender, light and love we cover our grief, anger, shame, or trauma with instead of actually working through them.

Spiritual bypassing is a survival mechanism, it is avoidance of our shadow, unhealed, human parts and it gets in the way of true healing, authenticity, vulnerability, connection with ourself and others and true freedom. It is disempowering and exhausting.

When we allow ourselves to truly feel and heal, we find safety in ourselves and therefore safety with others and the world around us.

This weeks podcast is about cycles, and how change is all that is constant. As we head out of summer and towards autumn, I reflect on the cycles of life, and the invitation changing seasons give us to explore change and impermanence.

Change is life.

SEASON 4 IS HERE!!

This week I talk about quality of life. Society conditions us to believe quality of life is bought, outside of ourselves, in organic food and products, or the size of our house, the education of our children, or the clothes we wear.

Quality of life starts within. We cannot truly be healthy, vital, and free when we are still running on survival programming and our nervous systems are deregulated and in a state of fight and flight. Our nervous systems inform almost every system in the body.

The invitation is to practice feeling as good as if you are on holiday right here and now. Feel your shoulders soften, breathe deeply, let the corners of your mouth lift into a gentle smile.. that is a nervous system shift. That is the state we can appreciate and strengthen the quality of our life.

To celebrate Notting Hill Carnival, this episode explores its history and how the carnival is a beautiful example of joy as resistance, of the power of community, and of celebration as revolution.

Divided we fall, united we rise. May we continue to promote unity in all areas of our society, may we continue to rise together and to amplify the voices of the oppressed.

May love always win.

I define integration as when our body, mind , heart and soul form a cohesive whole, and are in integrity with one another. When all these four pillars that form our ‘self’ are in alignment with our truest self, with our innate truth, goodness, wholeness.

This week I talk about the body, mind, heart and soul and how when we lean on one and ignore the other three, we are out of alignment with our self.

This is the work I love, and this alignment transforms not only the health of our own lives, but the health of our entire world.

We are conditioned to externalise our worth, to measure ourselves against others, to base our value on our productivity, our wealth, our beauty. We are conditioned to rely on the validation of others .

When we dissolve these illusions, all that remains is truth- you were born worthy, you woke up worthy, you are worthy now and always just for being.

Worth is not earnt, it is remembered.

Time is an illusion we use to avoid change.

We weaponise time against ourselves when we buy into and live by the constructed false belief that it takes time to heal, change, or grow.

We are conditioned to avoid discomfort, pain and change but these are the routes to freedom.

Now is power, now is possibility, now is when we change.

We are conditioned to perform, to please, to seek approval, to belong. We spend so much time and energy performing kindness, or tidiness or perfection. It distracts us from investing energy in ourself, and in actually being any of things we hope others think we are.

Through deep self enquiry, self acceptance and self love we become unapologetically ourselves, authentic and free. We become safe, we love freely, and we meet ourselves and others in neutrality, free of judgement, shame and competition.

What we judge in others, we are denying in ourselves.

We judge others to feel better, superior, to relieve our own inner judgement, if only fleetingly.

Judgement is playing God. There is no right or wrong, good or bad, there is only what is. It is our shame based thinking that measures people, circumstances and experiences on a judgement scale conditioned into us and fuelled by our lack of worthiness, lovability, our own shame.

It is in leaning into this shame and its discomfort, getting curious about its roots, and going deep into our emotions that we liberate ourselves of all judgement, both of ourselves and others.

Non-judgemental relating is safe, giving and loving without conditions. It is fuelled by self worth, self trust and discernment forged in the shedding of conditioned thinking, inherited identities, and rigid beliefs.

We connect when we drop out of judgement and into allowing what is to be what is.
