EP 46 - Baaaccck from the Shadows!

EPISODE NOTES:

In this episode, Susan discusses:

• Happiness is truly a choice, but not that simple and not as simply as “just choose.”
• Detaching and surrender isn’t as scary as you may have been taught to believe, but it is also not as easy when you’ve believed it was for so long… simply takes practice. 
• Changing your story narrative and discovering who you really are paramount to happiness and having the ability to choose. 

Key Takeaways:

• Choosing happiness isn’t just choosing – it’s releasing attachment to old stories, conditioning, expectations, and roles so you can surrender into you… then you can choose whatever you want. 
• Surrender and detachment is going from the internalizing place of it's about me to the externalized place that it’s not about who we are, or what we do, but about the perspective and lens we’re viewing things through that is born from our conditioning. 
• Knowing self at the core is critical to choosing happiness and letting go of past conditioning.

STEPS TO DETACH AND SURRENDER:

1. Look at Who You Are – the core of you, without the roles that you play.
2. What do you like/love about yourself? The qualities, traits, strengths, positives?
3. What do you dislike/want to change about yourself that don’t represent the best and highest version of you – the parts of you that aren’t fully expressed? The qualities, traits, weaknesses, and negatives?
4. Identify your IDEAL – whether it’s a partner, YOURSELF, a job, a home, a geographical location, a dream… anything that feels like it is holding you back – what is your ideal?

"It’s important to identify the narratives that are triggering you into holding back a part of yourself and live in a place of attachment and unhappiness. Detaching from those past conditioning stories, and surrendering into uncovering who YOU are, is critical to being able to choose happiness from a place that resonates for YOU and not based on who you think you ‘should’ be."  —  Susan Dascenzi

In this episode, Susan discusses:

• Changes and how they're constant and we can learn to not be pulled out of our comfort zones when changes happen.
• The fact that comfort zones do not actually exist (just like "buttons" people say can be pushed) and they are simply feelings and a mindset that one can learn to shift in order to handle changes well.
• Changes are nothing more than a set of unknowns and one can learn how to "know" the unknowns. 

Key Takeaways:

• Changes affect comfort zones because they're unknowns and we can learn how to know the things that seem scary with the change. 
• The "buttons" people talk about pushing are the same as the "comfort zones" we believe we have, yet they're nothing more than triggers, thoughts, feelings, and mindsets that are being reacted upon versus responding to - automatic vs choice. 
• Taking baby steps and learning to know what you perceive is a total unknown at the moment of the change is the key to managing the change without feeling as though you're out of your "comfort zone." 

"The unknown is only scary, and can rock your comfort level, when you fear learning to know what you can about this unknown change or situation. Taking a breath, hugging yourself in your mind's eye, and making a plan will dissolve that uncomfortability and return you to comfort when you're willing to look at what you don't know you truly DO know!"  —  Susan Dascenzi

In this episode, Susan discusses:

• How she came back from the shadows that caused health issues over the last 3 years and began a different level to her healing journey.
• How to face your own shadows and illuminate them in such a way as to honor your authentic self.
• How we can integrate the shadow parts of us and live the life we truly desire as our own true visionary.

Key Takeaways:

• Shadows, obstacles, walls that we put up, the fears of our ego may trigger a lot, but it truly is not as scary as it appears when we shine a light on them.
• By shining a light on our shadows, we are able to transcend into a new level in our healing journey because we then have no choice but to face the shadow and learn to integrate it.
• Our ego and the emotional triggers are simply a warning sign that there is a shadow we must illuminate if we are to live as a full authentic expression of our divine essence.

"You are a divine being living in human form and shadows are a part of the illumination process... our healing process. We must shine a light on our own shadows so that we may integrate them and shine our light even brighter - ultimately showing the world how to illuminate their own shadows." —  Susan Dascenzi

Eps 45 - CREATING THAT AUTHENTIC VERSION OF YOU

Designing your authentic life and self with Susan:

• Defining authenticity as it relates to yourself and your life.
• Past conditioning robs you of your authenticity.
• Exercise activities to aid you in uncovering who you are and what authentically living means to you.
• The authenticity journey begins with you knowing what is true for you and living your vision… and not someone else’s truth or vision for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Living authentically starts with you speaking your truth, deciding what is important to YOU, and then using your personal power to manifest the authentic self and life you know is aching to be birthed.
• Past conditioning is a gift if you use it to see where you’re not living authentically.
• Uncovering who your authentic self is, and what parts of your life could use an authenticity injection, require you to participate in self-reflection and diving a bit deeper through daily inquiry.
• The pain and fear that sometimes comes with beginning that journey toward living an authentic self and life can sometimes hold you back, but if you persevere, you will be rewarded with a richness and happiness you’ve never known before.  .

"You cannot get to where you want to go if you do not currently know where you are at right now. The “directions” you need for the journey first require knowledge of what is stopping you from getting there, and once you know that, the path will be easy to see and become easier to travel.” —  Susan Dascenzi

Eps 44 - 2022 and a New You!

Creating a NEW YOU for 2022 with Susan:

• The Distraction Disruptors are key if you are going to be successful in meeting your goals and creating a new you in the new year.    
• Self-Discipline is not about doing… it’s about how you feel about yourself.
• Reigniting passion in your life for the things that make you feel alive, joyful, and happy.
• Creating a version of you that makes you fall in love when you look in the mirror.

Key Takeaways:

• Self-Discipline is key to beating procrastination, a lack of motivation and willpower, and apathy, but it’s not what you think. 
• Success comes from building new habits and thought patterns over time - you cannot go from Zero-Sixty in a week and expect to win the race over the long-term. 
• Find the activities that bring you joy, happiness, and make you feel alive and commit to engaging in them regularly.
• Looking in the mirror can be your greatest teacher for it helps you find the areas that want a makeover.  

"2021 was my messy year, yet gratitude still kept me going for I recognized I was evolving, releasing, and becoming a new version of myself that I could deeply love and commit to… 2022 is time for me to live that and time for YOU to create that version you love as deeply as I do." —  Susan Dascenzi

Eps 43 - Holiday and Emotional Diversity

Understanding holiday periods and emotional diversity with Susan:

• There are many different religious and cultural holidays celebrated by people throughout the world during the month of December - what some of them are.   
• December can be fraught with all kinds of fluctuating emotional states for people regardless of their celebrations or lack thereof.  
• Looking through different lenses to dictate your behaviors toward others who may not believe, think, feel, or experience as you do. 
• Practicing kindness and generosity during this time of sharing and giving.  

Key Takeaways:

• Holidays are as individual and unique as each person and even within the same cultural, religious, or geographic area, some people celebrate very differently… it’s important to honor that.
• Recognizing that holiday periods can bring up many negative emotions and feelings and our role is to be an observer of others and lend a hand through love, joy, sharing, and kindness.  
• Practicing kindness, generosity, caring, and giving is easy when you honor that others may be struggling for a variety of reasons and can always lend a hand to brighten their life, ease their struggle, and let them know you care and notice. 

"It is important to practice opening our minds and hearts to the possibility, and reality, that what we believe, feel, experience, and think isn’t the ONLY way. That there are other ways, traditions, holidays, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, feelings, and experiences that people have and our deepest role, as a spiritually expressed human, is to share in that from a place of Love and Joy." —  Susan Dascenzi

Eps 42 - Creating from the Heart with Nid Ra

Sensing, Feeling, and Being to Create from the heart with Susan and Nid:

• Understanding what creating from the heart is, means, and how to apply it in your life.  
• Becoming more aware of the Mind/Body connection and how this can create a Constriction Loop. 
• Inner resistance is normal and can teach you how to relax into your heart.  
• Yoga Nidras take you to the hypnagogic state by going through a rotation of consciousness to your body parts.  

Key Takeaways:

• When you feel something, bring a consciousness to it and allow that mind alertness to bring you into your body - to relax and expand into it. 
• Be the Observer of your own body, mind, emotion, and spirit - allowing yourself to relax and expand into the openness of that feeling so you can connect in a clear knowing, peaceful, and convicted place - even if you’re scared of something… that’s courage. 
• The space between the doing and being is where the magic happens and creation begins.
• The feminine and masculine parts - the Yin and Yang - feminine actually comes first because she creates and then masculine comes in because he implements. 
• Know wherever you are is perfect - you’re not supposed to be anywhere else. 

"It’s the space between our doing and our being - that’s where the magic happens. That’s the creative - that’s the heart and this is the representation for what the universe is. It’s what manifests - it’s LOVE. It’s allowing that intuitive hit to appear - that insight that comes in that space." —  Nid Ra

Show: The Spiritually Expressed Human

Recognizing your inner healing abilities with Susan and Tawny:

• Understanding what the goal is (beyond being pain free). 
• How the brain chooses to understand and produce pain. 
• Hypersensitivity, noticing, and awareness. 
• The need for global learning about chronic pain, fear, and awareness. 

Key Takeaways:

• Most people don’t know what pain is and they are living with an understanding of the old pain model. 
• There is nothing imaginary about pain when the brain produces it, even if it is a psychological, emotional, or spiritual threat, and not just a physical threat. 
• The brain learns by experience, association, and repetition. 
• The more you know, the less you fear. 
• If you avoid the pain and the fear, you will never allow that pain to heal. 

"Pain is 100% produced by the brain, no matter what.  The brain is always scanning for threats and danger. It wants to help you survive. If it decides that something is threatening enough, then it can choose to produce physical pain." —  Dr. Tawny Kross

About Dr. Tawny Kross:  

Dr. Tawny Kross graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 2013.

She has worked in a Veterans Affairs hospital for nearly a decade now. Through the course of her practice, she has developed a very comprehensive and integrative approach to PT, which evolved from the necessity of such an approach in her work with the complexities of those who have chronic pain. This includes nutrition, hypnosis, guided imagery, mindfulness among other practices.

Focusing on mental health and being trauma-sensitive is of particular importance, as many of her clients have experienced military sexual trauma. She helps her clients move beyond pain and fear by connecting them with internal motivations, guiding them to see innate strengths and realize their inner healing abilities.

She recently started her own business, Kross Centered Care - Integrative PT, Health and Wellness in order to bring her expertise to more people.

Recognizing Spiritual Bypassing and the dangers of it with Susan and Bernadette:

• What spiritual bypassing is (and the detriment of toxic positivity).
• The difference between IQ, EQ, and SQ.
• Lessons learned from the spiritual teachers in our lives.
• Paying attention to the whole, not just the self, even in your spiritual journey.

Key Takeaways:

• All change and growth happens when we are not comfortable and when we are not happy.
• True spiritual seekers ask “why” all the time. They want to understand and bring coherence to the rational mind and their emotions.
• When we hold onto peace from a healthy place, we can allow our humanness to be integrated and part of our spiritual journey.
• Spirituality isn’t to avoid - it is to walk through the spiritual fire of the circumstances with peace and knowing that it doesn’t change your values and you can still continue to walk in peace and love.

"Life is messy. And the road to growth usually happens in the messy middle." —  Bernadette Gold

Show: The Spiritually Expressed Human

In this episode, Susan discusses:

• How using excuses (buts) can keep you from moving forward and finding your passion
• Learning to honor the shadow parts of you without letting it have power over you
• How the language we use can help to uncover obstacles that are holding you back

Key Takeaways:

• Honoring the shadow parts of you that are scared, frustrated, confused, or angry will allow you to decide who you choose to have in the driver’s seat of your life vs giving your power away to those parts that are negatively impacting you
• Using the word "but" causes one to hear ONLY what comes AFTER the word "but"...not what comes before
• The impact of the language you verbally use, as well as what you hear in your head, is huge and makes all the difference in how we move through an obstacle or emotion
• Keep track of how many times you use the word "but" throughout your day - you might be surprised at how ingrained it is in your everyday language

"Every piece of language that we use, whether we say it out loud or hear it silently in our minds, can either be a positive or negative enforcer. The positive enforcer drives us to taking the next step on our path. The negative enforcer paralyzes us into inaction and fear. Be aware of the enforcer you're listening to if you want to move toward achieving the goals, dreams, and life you desire." —  Susan Dascenzi
