On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about the power of the stories we tell ourselves. When we mentally review them over and over and focus on how things are challenging, hard, or ways we “messed up”, it becomes habitual. Soon it’s hard to tell if we are operating from a place of truth, or just branching out from the same story that focuses on the challenges and missteps of life, rather than an intuitive decision-making place. It also helps us cling to a story out of fear or self-doubt of change.

I also discuss why it’s important to sit with emotions and experiences before jumping directly to positive story or platitude. Part of why we are on the planet is to have human experiences, and experiencing a range of emotions is all part of our growth. If we let the mind jump into explaining all the reasons why something is or isn’t true, we are allowing it to guide a heart-specific process and explain our feelings to us, rather than actually feeling the truth of them.

I also share insights and tips to help you manage day to day and reach a more balanced mindset.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/20326791Thu, 28 Nov 2019 02:38:26 +0000Flirting With EnlightenmentIt’s not easy to explore and connect with gratitude for challenges and missteps, especially if we continue to carry the sting with us as regret or anger.

I also cover the five core things that influence our choice behaviors, and how our past experiences can trick us into thinking we are experiencing (or about to experience) deja vu.

Some might say change is change, and how we get there doesn’t matter, as long as we move through it. And in some ways that’s true.

However, when we make space and time to connect to the voice within ourselves, our intuition, we can see how the energy of change does matter when it comes to how we navigate the experience.

When we take action on inspired change, we are patient and committed, working towards goals and shifts, being as kind to ourselves as possible. This type of willing change is rooted in the desire to transform and break old patterns, putting ourselves on track with something more authentic and empowering for our path.

On the other hand, restless change is ungrounded. It’s similar to an anxious feeling that can’t be satiated. We can also have trouble focusing on the “why” behind the change, because there’s no real purpose; we are just trying to distract ourselves from feeling by projecting bits of energy everywhere, like dandelion fuzz.

On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about why being able to tell the difference between inspired change and restless change is so important to our livelihood, creativity and self-expression. It’s also an essential tool for keeping ourselves grounded and alert to self-sabotaging behaviors. In addition, on the podcast I share a few tips to help build a personal practice of self-awareness around understanding the difference between inspired and restless change.

Part of the reason rules win a lot of the time is because they are mind-focused and make things simpler. We trust the guidelines because they are “seemingly” black and white and guide us to stay “on track”. This means we don’t have to deal with messy feelings. Rules also rarely allow our heart a say, or encourage us to put faith in the fact our inner guidance is moving us in the right direction.

The trick is moving all unnecessary noise out of the way to truly hear what the heart wants us to know.

Aries reconnects us to our passion, reminds us of what we want to create, take action on, and fires up the desire to clean out any clutter that gets in the way. This momentum helps us shake off the old and gain clarity around what we need to move forward, feeling unencumbered and empowered.

However, there is also an interesting way that present moment thinking can distract us from something very important - our fear.

When we have a big choice to make or are hesitant to move forward in life because it seems too scary, it's easy to fall back on dedication to present moment mindfulness and stay stuck in the same spot. After all, we know what to expect here. Nothing gets better, but nothing gets worse. It's a safe zone where uncomfortable emotions, doubt, fear and self-judgment can stay just under the surface, while we hold them at bay by staying focused on the present and what is right in front of us.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/10382119Wed, 25 Jan 2017 08:42:55 +0000Flirting With EnlightenmentOn the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about ways we can see, recognize and honor when we are using present moment thinking as an excuse, and apply it's powerful aspects to dig deeper into knowing ourselves.

Even at our most mindful, it can be challenging to brush off expectations, live in the moment and accept things just as they are, whole-heartedly. And not everyone gets attached or hung up on the same things. Some struggle with expectations on health or relationships, while others can’t seem to escape the need to control all areas of their life.

The trick is to find a working balance of planning and presence that works for your unique gifts, karma and personal tendencies.

At the beginning of our journey as podcasters, Jamie and I had no idea what to expect.

We learned and tested the technical requirements, podcast etiquette and recording equipment. We excitedly planned powerful topics we enjoyed, and sometimes hesitatingly agreed to talk about topics that flared up our own “sore spots”. At times we may have divulged more about ourselves than planned, all for the good of our own healing and as a way to share and connect with others.

And after one year, we still want to make more episodes together.

Through the course of creating Flirting With Enlightenment, we’ve both learned about the power of collaboration, balance in partnership, and the joy and challenges of co-creation. This podcast has also enlightened us about how to tap more thoroughly into our own passions and intuition.

During this special one-year celebration episode of the podcast, we reveal a little more about our personal selves and share a few things you didn’t know about us before we became podcasters. We also tossed in a few extra bloopers from behind the scenes, because life is as much about the polish as the fun you have along the way.

Reminiscing aside, the most important part of this episode, and every episode is you, the listener.

Thank you so much for supporting us along our personal creative/spiritual inner journey and becoming part of it, too. Our hope is that as you listen, learn and explore more of your own inner wisdom, you feel compelled to share it with the people in your life as well.

Be the light you wish to see in the world is so much more than a metaphor. It’s what Jamie and I both want to help others create, one episode at a time, through the Flirting With Enlightenment show.

When taking steps towards living a more mindful or spiritual life, it's common to experience a personal energy shift called kundalini awakening. Some effects are physical and emotional, other impacts can kick-off big changes in your external world.

A small number of people may also experience an intense initiation of this spiritual awakening energy through a single instance, making it hard to go back to life as usual.

Reincarnation is the idea that one life force lives many lifetimes as one soul through many physical bodies. For some, the concept of reincarnation as a reality is a no-brainer. Others feel it’s closer to the plot for a science fiction film.

Yet, we see reincarnation play out within us all the time as we learn, grow, release what we no longer need, then “transform” into something else.

This “intuitive familiarity” from past lives can:

- Draw us to particular people and experiences
- Express itself as a natural affinity for particular skills
- Lead us to reconnect with a lifestyle or specific period of time in history
- Give us clues along our personal growth path
- Allow us to heal and release past karma or unhealthy patterns

On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, we discuss the vibration of the foods we eat and how they can influence our overall energy in a variety of ways. Jamie and I also talk about strictness in food and drink as part of a spiritual practice, and how vilifying certain foods can create guilt and other lower vibration energies.

Join us as we chat about how food, drink and the way we think about or use them in our lives influences our spiritual nature, and why it’s essential to embrace unique health and food needs along your personal path.]]>2797selfhelp,vegan,veganism,vegetarian,vegetarianismcleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/managing-the-energy-of-materialism-during-the-holiday-season--7323309
To stay grounded and unattached to the chaos vibe, it can take a bit of extra personal energy management.

When you are moving towards a more spiritual or intuitive way of life, the energy of materialism and the holidays can feel more intense or uncomfortable than usual, as you build a new relationship with “things” and what they mean to you. It’s also easier to pick up on the frenzied energy of everyone around you as they scramble to meet holiday expectations.

On this episode of Flirting With Enlightenment, we talk about the little ways you can notice attachment creeping into your connection with material things, and explore ways to build in more gratitude for what you do have right now. We also share simple tips to shift judgment around the relationship you (or other people) have with things, and release karma related to using things to chase a fleeting feeling of fulfillment.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/7323309Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:58:14 +0000Flirting With EnlightenmentThe holiday season can seem more like a “buying season” that’s hyper-focused on materialism and presentation, rather than a heightened time of spiritual awareness, connection and sharing.
