Trans4mind Podcast

Today Peter Shepherd looks at the subjects of freedom, creativity and being yourself... starting with an article by Philip Humbert about deciding what you truly want to do in your life. Jafree Ozwald then explains how the average human being can access a limitless resource of creative potential that will fuel them forever. If you believe that you are what you feel, then life truly stems from your thoughts and emotions. Finally Josh Richardson presents 10 powerful affirmations that can change your life for the better.

Peter Shepherd looks at topics connected with transforming the mind today... starting with how we interpret what we perceive. One person may do so in a very different way from another. We create our own reality internally, and through our influence in various ways, that in turn affects the external. Peter Shepherd then shares a transformative experience from his own life, excerpted from his book, Transforming the Mind.

Quotes, poems and writings of Gibran about love, marriage, parenthood, living from the heart and work. Alongside a very practical article by Linda Sapadin explaining how to bring more excitement, passion and romance to a relationship that is feeling stale.

Peter Shepherd covers the subject of inner guidance. To determine our path, we need only ask: Is this guided by love? That always points to the true path ahead. Then Joyce Shafer writes about empathy as a form of appreciation, best expressed by genuinely listening. Finally Alan Zimmerman says you can have almost everything you want in life... if you know how to set goals and then implement the correct steps.

Three topics to be discussed today are character, connectedness and wisdom. Your character is more important than your talent, says Alan Zimmerman. People with talent often make it into the limelight, but without a strong character, they rarely stay there very long. Philip Humbert writes about being self-reliant in a connected world... Live your own life, based on your own ideas, strengths and resources. And at the same time, learn to be a valued contributor in a vibrant, connected and multi-cultural world. And then Charlie Badenhop says learn from your past, rather than being defeated by it! Knowing ourselves, along with realizing our connectedness, is a basis for wisdom.

Love will always be at your core, it is a vibration which sparks the light of consciousness within you and you cannot change this. What has grown over and on top of it through the years is the veil called the mind, which can be filled with judgments, impositions, demands, and beliefs that hide this purely enlightened state. The topics we are covering this week - riding the ups and downs of life, letting life unfold, and being of service - are best understood in this context.

Jafree Ozwald says it may be time to turn your heart upside down and take a big risk to get the most out of your life. Joyce Shafer describes the trap of self-importance and recommends we ask ourself what it is we want to contribute while we're here, what we want our personal legacy to be. And Harold W. Becker tells us there's a paradigm shift underway upon the earth and in its wake we shall know a new reality.

A set of articles by Peter Shepherd are featured this week, about change and transformation. If there's one thing guaranteed in our lives it is that change will be upon us, sooner or later; usually sooner. If we are open to change, and are willing to learn whatever is necessary to predict and adapt to it, we can even become its master and control its direction. Self-directed learning is therefore key to mastery over life and to the creation of the life that we want.

An in-depth look at intuition this week, with Angela Artemis, who describes intuition as intelligence for your life - to discover your true calling in life, your right mate, your true friends and whom to avoid, the right business venture, the right time to move forward with something and when to wait, and so on. And then in a profound article, Mick Quinn explains why awakening to values, intentions, and destiny is essential in order to be truly free.

Barrie Davenport describes how the life can be sucked out of us by conforming to expectations - and what we can do about it. And then Rick Hanson explains how we can be more objective and drop the 'shoulds' that often dominate our thinking. Finally Jafree Ozwald recommends us to love ourself and others so fully, that we become completely overflowing with joy and lightness.
