In this episode, we meet an amazing woman who practices vocal reiki. Reiki is an energetic practice to use our natural field to heal the body. Energetic healers are as old as medicine and are viewed positively and negatively by traditional medicine. We all know that our name is the most pleasing sound we know. Sara intones a persona name musically. I experienced her singing my name and it was a wonderful experience. The key here is that there is no end to the ways in which we can love and serve...

In this episode, we talk about our fears around authenticity. It is one thing to encourage people to lean into their divine gifts and be true to their nature. It is quite another to deal with the fear of judgment and rejection that can prevent us from doing just that. So how do we overcome those fears? You have a unique and powerful story. The uniqueness of your experience is never in question. The power can only be created by your willingness to share what you know and feel. What would you do ...

In this episode, we talk about the choices we have regarding authenticity. A favorite phrase I use with clients who are worried about what others think is “It’s OK to be weird.” We are often infected with a debilitating fungus. The WITOT Fungus. That stands for “What I Think Others Think.” Sound Familiar? First of all, we need to be at peace with who we are. You are a divine creation with gifts and talents. Too often we are socialized into a box and we feel our gifts aren’t valuable. You are to...

In this episode, we are treated to a beautiful soul who has made the phrase “Be Schmaltzy synonymous with love, compassion, and service. We all have a daily choice: Be who we really want to be in the moment or be someone who is caught up in external appearances and what others think. Tony is organizing an event for later in 2022 to have people get together and hear from prominent speakers on how to be authentic, how to serve, and how to be lovingly authentic in the world. Every day there are hu...

In this episode, we discuss how to have a bigger influence on the world around you. Many say, “I want to help people.” Or even bigger, “I want to change the world.” That is wonderful and my mission is to help 10 million people discover, develop and serve with their divine gifts. So how do we start? You always start where you are, because you must. So start with what is handy for you. Serve someone right now. Whether it is Covid or the war in Ukraine or some small church or neighborhood project....

In this episode, we talk about a fundamental, and eternal truth. You are awesome. This is not some high-five, drop the balloons awesome, but a deep, truthful statement. You came from somewhere with gifts and talents. You have a celestial glow. Most of us settle for crumbs and live for half a portion. That stops here. You can be, do and have anything you want. You can be happy today. You can have joy today. You can live as a beacon of light, a vessel of love, and a conduit of power right now. Bu...

In this episode, we talk about the struggles we all have. What is heartache? Why does it feel like our hearts will explode sometimes? There is a deep connection between what we think and what we feel in our “hearts.” Our spiritual essence feels and responds. When things are hard or wrong, we hurt. Our body is not threatened, yet we are weak and tired. Heartache can be healed. One way is to just wait and time smooths over many things. But that is the slow and difficult way and it does not work f...

In this episode, we talk to a master energy worker. We all know that everything is energy. All the matter that seems so solid is energy behaving in a particular way. Our thoughts and intentions are also energy. Since all things are energy in different forms, it makes complete sense that they interact. The best way to connect with the energy that is you is through meditation. Learning to still unlock a world of power and knowledge you may not know about. Even if you vaguely know, do you have acc...

In this episode, we have come to the end. Like any journey, you have memories. You saw and heard things. Now, you must decide what to do with them. They can go sit on the shelf in your mind, with all the other shelf help or you can make this the beginning of your own infinite freedom. Your choice. First, don’t procrastinate. Nothing is ever won by putting something off you know you need to do now. The longer we wait, the harder stuff gets. Freedom is on the other side of effort. No one does eve...

In this episode, we talk about the myth that things are beyond our control. It is true that externalities exist. No one asked for illness. We don’t control the weather in the sky or events around us. You do control your life and this is the first and most fundamental realization. Never abdicate that ownership. As the owner, you are free to stay where you are. You can remain the captive of the monsters you have, and no one can prevent that. You are also free to choose another path. Owning that c...

In this episode, we talk about a place we live in way too much. We live in the past. We worry about what did not happen that we wanted to happen, or we worry about things that went wrong. One absolute truth is that you can’t change what has been. So we can live in regret or we can move forward. This is important because when we live in the rearview mirror, we will always crash the car. Being bound by the past limits the present. There are always things to learn. There are sometimes things to “f...

In this episode, we talk about something that happens every day. Things we do or plan turn out quite differently than we want. When that is in the good direction, we feel lucky or blessed. When it is worse, we call that failure. We then assign bad things to failure. To fail is to be bad or to somehow be wrong. Failure is none of that. Failure is just feedback that something we tried did not work. Replace the “good and bad” context with “worked or did not work.” Drop the drama surrounding failur...

In this episode, we talk about this phrase. It usually shows up when things are going wrong, and we feel unfairly picked on by the universe. We feel we are having far more than our share of challenges and even things we thought were under control somehow go south. What is really going on here, anyway? First, think about the purpose of life. Is this life designed to be a walk in the park where we collect fun experiences and then leave? Is there a larger purpose that involves learning important t...

In this episode, we talk about a common disease that causes more health problems, both physical and mental than we even know. That monster is stressed. We live in a tsunami of daily stress. That sad thing is that we are not truly present to the fact the stress is of our own making. It can stop today. What if you could eliminate stress from your life? Would you be willing to take the actions required to get rid of it? Stress is a conflict you feel when you want things a certain way, and they are...

In this episode, we talk about a common myth that affects people everywhere. We believe that some external marker must happen for us to be happy. When we get our driver's license. When we move out of the house. When we find a mate when we make a certain amount of money. You know the drill. The problem here is that this never works. As soon as the imagined thing takes place, we look further and want something else. Satisfaction may come, but it is only temporary. One way to describe this is “You...

In this episode, we talk about our com on stories about time. We believe that somehow, we have less time than others. Or perhaps we think that others have fewer responsibilities or something that “gives” them more time. The truth is that you have all the time there is. You have all the time that exists. The second truth is that you cannot manage time. You can only manage yourself. You get to choose what you do with your time. You own all your time. Period. You are sovereign. If that sounds fore...

In this episode, we learn about inner work for creatives. We all have stories about what is available to us. Most of these stories are based on what we experience early in life. Cami describes her early lessons of cousins and others having limited options, being a waitress and having kids early with no real options. Her own awakening happened as she read a book “Illusions,” which opened her to the reality that life is the creation of our intentions and effort. After this awakening, she chose lo...

In this episode, we talk about an old familiar song. The ballad of not good enough is a top hit in everyone’s mind at different points in our lives. What does it even mean to say, “I’m not good enough?” Usually, it is a self-imposed judgement based on a limiting estimate of our own worth or ability. Sometimes we use a different word. “I’m not ______ enough (smart, cool, old, strong, capable.”) The list goes on forever and always means we are wanting in some important area. This opinion is alway...

In this episode, we talk about walking the dog. Not that walking a dog creates a rotten day. I learned a lesson about rescuing bad days from a walk with one of my dogs. We all have rotten days. Days where everything goes wrong, and no one does what we expect. Sometimes that can be overwhelming. How do we get past that so the whole day isn’t lost? First, we recognize there is always too much to do. Next, we sort out what is ours to handle, and what belongs to others. Then we make choices about w...

In this episode, we talk about habits created by our current “instant everything” culture. There is a myth that we are supposed to be good at everything, always have everything under control and keep everything in tip-top shape. This is a painful lie and an impossible fantasy. Believing this lie will kill you. We all have doubts about our own worthiness and ability. We all have stories about what we can and cannot achieve. The key is to question your doubts and not your potential. We all have s...

In this episode, we talk about a common problem created by our hectic lifestyle. As any given moment you may have limited energy to do a certain thing. The first question to ask is what does this mean? Is the lack of energy a physical situation or something coming from lack of desire to do something? There is so much we allow to be imposed on us that we often feel overwhelmed and powerless to control our own lives. What are the habits you have? Do you allow others to control your daily agenda, ...

In this episode, we talk about a common monster that saps productivity and joy out of many days. The idea of blame and the creation of excuses or reasons. When things do not go as planned or desired, we have an immediate need to blame someone or something. This is not inherent in us. It is learned. We have created a culture of avoiding responsibility and of assigning blame. We learn from early childhood to blame someone else because we are afraid of the embarrassment of punishment. There is so ...

In this episode, we talk about a big one right out of the gate. Procrastination is a master ticket to failure. If we put off doing anything, nothing will ever improve. Obvious, but still a big sticking point. Ruts in the ground cause problems, just ask any bike rider who has crashed while riding a rutted dirt road. Sometimes we put things off because we fear failure. We think we can’t and we don’t want to feel the failure so we don’t even start. Sometimes we sabotage our efforts with stories an...

In this episode, we talk about why change can be hard. When we have learned a particular way of doing things, it can be hard to do it differently. Try to tie your shoes a new way. You can do it, but it can be frustrating and seem complicated. An old method of coping with life can seem impossible to alter. First, you must decide why you really want to change. What is it worth to you? Why would you go through the effort to make it different? Be clear about the reward and visualize the new you. Re...
