In this episode, we talk about reasons to forgive. No one can make you forgive anyone. This is a sacred choice and sacred responsibility. There are three big reasons it is powerful and beautiful. First, it is liberating. When you forgive, you are free from the anger you hold towards others or yourself. Second, it creates growth. There are vistas you cannot imagine until you embrace forgiveness. You can hear about the possibilities like someone describing a beautiful scene of a stunning mountain...

In this episode, we talk about what forgiveness is and what it isn’t. I give a description that will work for our purposes. Forgiveness is not absolution. It is not acting like something didn’t happen. Forgiveness is not putting yourself in harm's way. It is not sweeping things under the rug. It is not ignorance. Forgiveness is allowing reality to be what it is. Whatever has happened to you or whatever you have done cannot be changed. Where do you go from here? Forgiveness is letting the energy...

In this episode, we talk about the other side of the coin. Besides receiving hurt as we grow up, we inflict it also. We are unkind, we get angry, we say and do things that hurt others. Sometimes we hurt others because we have been hurt. The saying “hurt people hurt people,” is true and shows the connection. Sometimes we hurt others by accident. Often we justify actions that hurt others because we want something or because we pretend it is OK. We lie, we cheat, we steal we are unfaithful, we bre...

In this episode, we begin an 18-part series on the critical topic of forgiveness. Next to the word love, forgiveness is the most powerful word in the universe. We often misunderstand this word and confuse it with absolution or forgetting something or pretending something bad did not happen. It is none of that. From our earliest minutes we collect injury, we inflict injury. Often accidentally and sometimes on purpose. These injuries accumulate and become hard to deal with. Likes rocks in a backp...

In this episode, Kellan starts this series on forgiveness. So, the first question is who hurt you? It doesn't have to be physical, although Kellan suffered physical abuse as a child. But, Kellan begins with talking about all of the invisible rocks that we carry around and how forgiveness figures into this. From the first time we fall off the bed as an infant to falling when we learn to walk to scolding, slaps, and spankings we get for misbehavior, we experience pain and injury. Whether well-inte...

In this episode, we explore a similar and related idea. Love is an intentional choice to use your spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental resources to lift and bless someone in their highest and best interest. Sometimes we can’t know for sure what that might be, but it is always clear how to serve if we want to. When you engage in service, what do you do? What actions do you take to intentionally serve those around you? When you do that, how do you feel? Your business can be the highest and ...

n this episode, we follow up on the vocal reiki episode by exploring the sound of love. Whether it is the musical intonation of someone’s name or any other way, what is the sound of love? You have the greatest ability to create love by discovering and using y our unique voice. What does that mean? It means that we each have a unique way of expressing our contribution to the world. Have you discovered your unique voice? What is it? Are you aware of your power and do you choose to use it to love ...

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...
