    How People-Pleasing Undermines Your Intuition

    How People-Pleasing Undermines Your Intuition

    We all want to be able to increase  our intuitive abilities and much has been said about what we need to do to open up and enhance our intuition.

    But the blocks posed by our own psychological conditioning are often not discussed and these blocks must be addressed also if we hope to really strengthen our intuitive muscle.

    People pleasing is well understood these days as a psychological conditioning response to relational trauma and in this episode I explore just how it undermines our ability to develop and strengthen our intuition.

    Physical Activity As A Spiritual Practice

    Physical Activity As A Spiritual Practice

    When people think of spiritual practices, most often what comes to mind is a vision of meditation, prayer, maybe some study of spiritual texts...but another powerful and often less thought of mechanism for strengthening our spiritual connection with our selves and source is physical activity.

    Join me in this episode as I explore the ways in which physical activity can serve as a spiritual practice and is an essential step towards helping us to integrate all 4 levels of our being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - and facilitate their ability to work in unison.

    You only live once....or do you?

    You only live once....or do you?

    When grappling with whether or not to do something we may want to do, we are often encouraged to YOLO - the millennial catchphrase encouraging us to do all the things, as after all, 'you only live once'!!

    But the ever growing body of scientific evidence surrounding the concept of reincarnation is painting a very different picture. It suggests that not only do we not live once, our essence gets to live many, many lives.

    In this week's episode I explore this notion and discuss some of the available evidence and the implications it poses for our understanding of our spiritual essence and how we navigate our current lives.

    For those of you who are curious to know more about the available research, I encourage you to explore the journal articles and resources that can be found in the DOPS website (Department of Perceptual Studies) of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Virginia:

    How to spot a False Spiritual Teacher

    How to spot a False Spiritual Teacher

    The world is living through a very challenging period at present, where there is a lot of chaos, confusion and many of us are suffering.

    When we are at our most vulnerable, we will often seek answers from those purporting to have them, and this creates a ripe environment for unscrupulous characters to exploit the vulnerability and suffering of others, by enticing those vulnerable people to work with them with promises of having the answers to how to create abundant, perfect lives.

    There are many in this space who legitimately seek to help to empower people, however there are also many who seek to exploit them.

    Join me in this week's episode as I discuss and outline some clear identifying signs that will help you recognise that you may be dealing with a false spiritual teacher and what to look for instead.

    The power of self-transcendence

    The power of self-transcendence

    In this week's episode I explore the power of self-transcendence and service to not only enable us to access the untapped personal potential we all posses, but also to transform the world at large.

    Join me as I explore:

    - how a culture of prioritising individualistic pursuits has led to increasing rates of suffering and disconnection
    - how cultures that centre their societies around the greater good of the collective are seen to thrive
    - additional insights about Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' and how later in life he came to understand the need for self transcendence was the true pinnacle of human potential
    - how a mind blowing experience of spoon bending reinforced the power of service to unlock our potential and those of others

    How To Raise Your Vibration Without Spiritual Bypassing

    How To Raise Your Vibration Without Spiritual Bypassing

    Even if you haven't ventured too deeply within Spirituality, you most likely would have heard expressions such as, 'raise your vibration', 'be high vibe' or 'good vibes only'...

    But how exactly do we raise our vibration? Often when this topic is discussed in spiritual circles, there is a tendency to suggest the best way to raise one's vibration is to avoid or steer clear of people, situations and feelings that make us feel bad or negative - Anger? Big No! Fear? Nope again!

    But this takes us dangerously close to spiritual bypassing territory, because many of these challenging situations serve a crucial purpose in our process of growth and spiritual evolution, and to avoid or suppress these emotions, leads to us being inauthentic - ironically one of the surest ways to lower our vibrational state and cause ourselves harm.

    Join me in this episode as I explore these concepts more deeply and discuss ways to genuinely elevate your vibration, whilst honouring your authentic emotional and mental needs for truly embodied alignment with your soul essence.

    If avoiding death were an option, would you take it?

    If avoiding death were an option, would you take it?

    We often encounter articles or news reports announcing some new study findings that have found ways to reduce the risk of death.

    And whilst science hasn't yet mastered the art to avoid death completely, it is an interesting thought to imagine what living forever would be like?

    In this episode I explore just that - the benefits, the costs, but most importantly, how we can make the most of the life we have while we're here, by living in accordance with our values and being fully present in everything we do.
