Friendships and Relationships: Growing Together or Growing Apart

Worried about Nothing Podcast 35 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 25th October 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about friendship and relationships, and how you can grow together or grow apart within these. How sometimes it can be the best for the friendship or relationship to separate, and potentially come back together at a later stage. How we can sometimes hang so much on the relationship dynamic, that it is unable to stand up to the weight of expectation.

We explored some of the different dynamics that can make up a friendship, whether it be with family members (in this case twins) or others. We talked about how friendships and relationships need to have an element of play, of fun, of joy to endure.

Chasing Happiness

Worried about Nothing Podcast 34 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 11th October 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about chasing happiness. How so many of us can spend our lives chasing an illusory goal of 'happiness when....' something happens, or is achieved, or realised, whether material, spiritual or psychological. And how this happiness is fleeting, as it isn't real, it isn't sustainable, it's based on something outside of ourselves. And keeps us from being present, from living in the moment, as all of our attention is focused on some future point. 

We talked about how the peaks and troughs of misery and happiness aren't real, aren't the true, neutral contentment of being truly happy. We spoke about the link between beauty and happiness, how in this world of surface judgement, so much importance is placed on external appearance, and that true beauty is synonymous with being comfortable in our own skin, and radiates from the inside out, being happy to be ourselves exactly as we are.  

We discussed how, as Arathi Ma speaks of, when the focus goes from seeking ourselves in the infinite mirrors of the world to the inner stillness of who we really are, the chasing and searching falls away, as we find true happiness within.

Stop Trying to Control Everything!

Worried about Nothing Podcast 33 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 4th October 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about control, and trying to control everything in your environment, both externally and internally. How it can so often be a strong subconscious programme that runs your life without your awareness, and how when this comes up to consciousness can be such a relief. And that sometimes even when it is conscious or semi-conscious, it can still be such a strongly engrained behaviour that it continues, as it can be tied up with perfectionism, self worth or feelings of deserving.

We discussed how in these times of great change, everybody is feeling untethered, and the reaction of some can be to try to cling on to an illusory semblance of security and familiarity, by trying even harder to control everything around them.

We talked about the insanity of it, of trying to control and predict everything, and then trying to control our reaction to being controlling, and how this can become a crazy spiral. And how the same triggers or issues can spark our desire to control, though we may feel that we have cleared the issue it arises again and again, on deeper and different levels, needing to be tackled from new and often more sophisticated and subtle angles.

We spoke about forgiving ourselves for being controlling, for allowing fear to make us unyielding, and how the attached self-judgement can keep us stuck. That realising control issues arise, then letting them go, and moving on, can be a much healthier response than holding on and reliving them over and over again by trying to analyse them or judge ourselves for them or adding further layers of story on top of them.

Our Pets and How We Love Them

Worried about Nothing Podcast 32 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 27th September 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about pets, living with them, loving them, their unique idiosyncrasies and unique personalities and character traits and habits, and how they can enrich our lives in myriad ways. How they can open the heart and allow people to love.

We talked about how we can sometimes impose our wills upon our pets, and not give them the freedom to follow their natures and fulfil their needs, and how what we might consider to be love, sometimes isn't in fact healthy or good for them. We spoke about how allowing them to be themselves without over-attaching can be the best thing for them, and how doing this can bring tenfold rewards and much more happiness to their lives and ours. 

Kim talked about why she loves taking photos of animals, and what is involved in a Pet Photography session.

Living From the Heart vs Living From the Head

Worried about Nothing Podcast 31 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 20th September 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about living from the heart vs living from the head. What it feels like to live from both, and the stillness and peace that comes when living from the heart. We laughed about the experience we have all had about the hamster wheel of the mind, racing in a never-ending circle, never going anywhere, yet constantly attempting to change the outcome, to reach a new conclusion or destination - and how that is the definition of insanity.  We talked about how when coming from the heart, life is being lived instead of observed, emotions are felt instead of analysed, and everything is connected. How living from the head produces a loveless life, one of separation and isolation. And that when living from the heart, everything is easier, as the heart guides you without thought, and all is experienced and seen through the lens of love. And when meeting people in the heart, there is no need for words.

Cuties, Netflix, and the Attempt to Normalise Pedophilia

Worried about Nothing Podcast 30 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 13th September 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about the controversial movie Cuties which is being shown by Netflix, in the wider context of the disturbing attempt to sexualise children and normalise pedophilia which has being going on for decades, and how sexual grooming of minors has been taking place in Hollywood and Disney movies for many many years. How #cancelnetflix is trending on Twitter, and how people in their thousands have cancelled their subscriptions in protest (over 600,000 and counting signed a petition stating that they would if Netflix didn't remove the film). 

We spoke about how all of this is part of a larger agenda to neutralise the sexes, cause confusion, and blur the lines of sexual attraction and behaviour, lower the age of consent, and change what consent really means.

We talked about how 'freedom of beliefs' can sometimes be an excuse and cover for atrocities to take place in the name of religion. And how as more and more people are waking up to what is going on beneath the surface, they are beginning to question everything they have been told is true, to dig deeper, and to stand up and say No More.

An Introduction to Permaculture

Worried about Nothing Podcast 29 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 6th September 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today Katya spoke about Permaculture, and about its importance in not only healing and sustaining the land, but also in being in the rhythm of nature and her seasons. She talked about how permaculture principles can be put in place whether you own acreage, a small garden, or even a tiny city balcony, and how it is possible to make nature work with you and for you, rather than fighting against it. She spoke of permaculture being a closed loop, a cycle of regeneration and abundance, which, instead of raping the land and leaving it barren, can provide a bountiful harvest year after year, in a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.

Unite For Freedom Rally, Trafalgar Square 29th August 2020 : A Personal Experience

Worried about Nothing Podcast 28 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 29th August 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about the protests and marches that took place all over the world on Saturday 29th August 2020 against the insane Covid19 rules and restrictions, and Kim shared her personal experiences of being at the London Unite for Freedom rally at Trafalgar Square on that day. Speakers included David Icke and Natural Nurse Kate Shemirani. The event was organised by Piers Corbyn, and was attended by 35,000 to 40,000 people who had had enough of being fed fear-based lies, and of living under a fascist regime of deception and manipulation, united in a collective total rejection of the New World Order.

We do not consent. We must unite. The time for silence is over.

Living With Depression: Finding the Peace Within

 

Worried about Nothing Podcast 27 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 24th August 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about depression. About the different types of depression, how in Ayurvedic terms it can be a Vata or Kapha depression, and how this can be useful to know how best to respond to it.

We spoke of the importance of not pushing it away, not brushing it under the carpet, not denying it, or judging yourself as lacking or failing in any way. Of acknowledging it, and allowing it to be what it is, being tender and loving towards yourself, but at the same time not wallowing in it or being attracted to remaining depressed, or using it to manipulate or chain others to you.  

We talked about the truthfulness that can emerge through depression, and the fact that something sacred can arise when all is stripped away into silence.

Self Love, Chocolate, and Detachment from Over Thinking

 

Worried about Nothing Podcast 26 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 4th August 2020

 

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

 

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

 

Today we spoke about self love, and the mechanisms and comforts we sometimes turn to (like chocolate) when we are feeling frazzled or stressed or otherwise not loving towards ourselves. We spoke about how astrological forces, and collective tides and energies can affect us, and how trying to rationally make sense of it all, or overthink things, isn't helpful or beneficial.
