Episode 14 - Creativity & Higher Consciousness w/ Special Guest Author Robert T. Norton

When we started his show, we did so unattached to any particular outcome other than to spark thought and contemplation around a broader perspective; how a shift in perspective can affect meaningful change in our lives - individually and collectively speaking.

 

Fast forward to a year and a half into the SHIFT - 30 episodes! - and we want to be more intentional with the direction we are headed, for ourselves and our growing listening community.

 

Sometimes in order to move forward with intention,  we need to pause, purposefully... being present in that pause, so we can move forward with  deepening purpose and impact.  

 

And if you have been tuning in, you'll know a primary thread woven into our message has always been taking the time to reflect and understand what we are doing, how we are operating in our day-to-day lives and why we are doing it - or are we upholding the status quo simply because it's what we have always done... perhaps because it is easier than being a bit uncomfortable with something we have never done before.

 

 

The more we can understand ourselves, the better equipped we are to navigate these times of constant change.  However, we need to carve out time in order to apply the wisdom gleaned along the way.

 

On this episode we will expand on all of that and more... and how we're taking some of our own advice too.

Our power to change collectively begins and ends with each of us individually, so let's do this together!

 

The SHIFT STARTS NOW!

 

**********************************************************************************************

 

On the SHIFT, we use multiple perspectives to effect positive change within ourselves and our communities.  We create a reframe on traditionally accepted norms to generate personal freedom, empowerment, self-love and self-care.  We discover new wisdom and learnings by stretching our existing understanding of social protocols, health and spiritual practices, personal belief systems, celebrations and cultural influences.

 

Viewing life through multiple perspectives helps us find new tools and teachings that can support us in healing, in understanding ourselves better, and realizing the potential in our self-actualization. As we journey through perspective, we learn ways to reclaim our power from where we have historically given it away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can't fully see something when we are in it. Whether the "it" is a situation, environment, relationship dynamic, belief systems, the stories of illusion we live in, or something else.

 

When we are enmeshed in something, the perspective is not always clear. 

 

There is an attachment emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually or any combination of these. We might remain in situations that are not serving us any longer because we have created a story we hold on to that makes us feel better about something that isn't really good for us, and isn't in alignment with who we are now.  

 

We simply can't see it because we are in it.

 

“ Attachment is root of all suffering:”-  Buddha

 

That attachment is what sometimes keeps us stuck, and often we can make something more difficult than it truly has to be... we get in our own way, and in the process give away our power and agency over our own being.  

 

Often the simplest thing is the most difficult because it might be uncomfortable to do something we haven't done before, and it is easier to just stay where we are.  When we do that, we perpetuate our own suffering.

 

In this episode, we'll talk about the perspective shift that letting go of the attachment gifts us, and how we can reclaim our power within. And we'll share some tips and questions we can work with to "let go."

Nothing changes if nothing changes. 

 

Nothing changes If we keep doing the same things, expecting different results - or not doing anything at all and expecting some else to take action.

 

Picking up from our last show, we'll talk about taking personal responsibility through our actions around environmental sustainability.

 

Will talk about some ways we can enhance our environmental connection and care for the Earth.

 

 

Bearing personal responsibility through the decisions we make, the actions we take, is more critical now than ever.

 

We can't wait to be told what to do or for someone else to do something.

 

We are the change we need right now.

 

 

What are we doing on a personal level to affect positive change in our own lives, our communities and on a broader scale?

Last year at this time, our show was about independence, and celebrating independence - why do we celebrate and what are we celebrating when not everyone has the same freedoms?

 

Are we simply going through the motions because that's how we have always done things? So as not to disrupt the status quo? Or are we actively choosing how we are living life and taking personal responsibility to create a better world with the individual choices we make on a daily basis?

 

A year later we can feel that encroachment on "freedom" reverberate in our lives even moreso. 

 

Nothing changes if nothing changes. 

 

Nothing changes If we keep doing the same things, expecting different results - or not doing anything at all and expecting some else to take action.

We are going to talk about taking personal responsibility, what that means, why it is essential to navigate the current environment  and the constant change. 

 

What are we doing on a personal level to affect positive change in our own lives, our communities and on a broader scale?

In this episode, we'll continue our conversation about the transformation that occurs when we immerse ourselves in nature  - the act of "naturing" - and what wisdoms we can glean about ourselves, the way we live, anllowing some deeper truths to surface that can help us heal, evolve and grow.

 

There is a difference between going into nature and being immersed and connecting with it as part of us.

 

We are nature. And so immersing ourselves in nature expediates the process of remembering who we came here to be. Nature is our medicine. 

 

When we immerse ourselves in it... when we are "naturing", we can experience a shift in our being - being present, listening and observing.

 

This is our original and natural state of being.

 

Naturing is the process of remembering that which we came here to be, being open to being reminded of that in a multitude of ways in our dailiy lives, and uncovering what has been buried within us - individually and collectively speaking.

This is the first show of our 2nd season and we are so excited to begin anew with a conversation about the transformation that occurs when we immerse ourselves in nature - Release, Refresh & Recharge and immersing ourselves in the wilderness.

 

There is a difference between going into nature and being immersed and connecting with it as part of us.

 

We are nature.

 

When we immerse ourselves, everything shifts from the trailhead to the top and back again - being present, listening and observing...

 

There is an energetic exchange happening... being in our own wilderness, releasing and resetting our energy, building our intuitive muscle.

 

This opens the space for more of our intuition to flow - and the more we strengthen that inner knowing, the more it opens us up to endless possibilities for creating the life we desire!

 

Join us as we launch season 2 of the SHIFT Podcast!

 

Our power to change collectively begins and ends with each of us individually.

WHAT? 

"This is our 24th episode? Really?  Man this last year has flown by!"

 

In this celebratory episdoe we will literally shift our perspective in real time by going behind the camera with our producer, Jacob Kappes.

 

Jacob has a passion for storytelling and believes every person has a story worth telling and that every story deserves to be heard.

 

We'll be featuring some of the stories told through music by Jacob and his band Tons & Tons

The production team is vital to Transformation Talk Radio's high quality output that you listen to every day.  In this episdode, we'll give you the listeners/viewers some insight to the the behind the scenes magic that brings all our shows to life.

 

What do they see and hear as shows develop? 

What are their take-aways that have shaped their perpsectives both behind the camera, and in real life.

 

Creativity and Finesse- that's what it takes to create a radio show.  Coincidently, they are also the things we need to get through life!

 

Creativity is critical to our individual expressions of humanity.  It's what allows us to take risks and make statments about who we are or who we want to be.  Creativity helps bring balance between our work lives and personal lives and Finesse is how it all comes together regardless of who is watching, what lens they see through, or what meaning they attach to what they see.

 

This is going to be fun episode! Don't miss this...

We are coming up on our one-year anniversary of the SHIFT Podcast - Perspective and Our Power to Change, and we're taking a look back, embracing the pause and reflection on where we have been this past year.

 

We'll talk about where we have been, what we have discovered.... the lessons - what we have learned, what we have learned about each other, and how our perspective has shifted doing this podcast together.

 

We are ambracing the pause... the chance to reflect on where we have been, bringing things into awareness,  so we can be more empowered in where we are going - wherever that might be!

 

Positive change begins with each of us individually.  Together we create a collective SHIFT.

It's episode 22!  On this episode of the SHIFT, we are going to continue our last conversation about questioning everything.

 

We will talk about the WHY and HOW... specifically around shifting our perspective to fuel our power to change our inner world so that we can see/feel/experience that impact in our outer world.  

 

Why are we talking about cultivating a connection with our soul and inner wisdom? 

 

Why are we inviting ourselves and our listeners, our friends, our families, our communities, corporations and agencies to engage in a different way of being?

 

Why is it important, and especially so with the state of our current world?

 

And how it begins, how we begin... by questioning everything.

 

 

What are the deeper wisdoms that have been buried and how does this apply to our individual ives?

 

 

Join us for another meaningful conversation, as we discuss real-time, real-life experiences that can be a bridge to a new way of being through shifting our perspective and reclaiming our power to effect change to bring us back into alignment with our inherent nature.

 

Let's lean into our inherent, divine wisdom and embrace this new and unknown territory, together.

In our last few episodes of the SHIFT, we have been developing conversation around the journey inward - being curious about our resistance to that journey, leaning in, and discussing methods and practices we can use to cultivate a deeper inner dialogue and connection with our soul, and then bridging that awareness into action.
