The Soul Horizon

In this episode, we explore four simple yet transformative teachings that can be used to empower our lives in a deeper and more meaningful way.

For each teaching, I share a quote or insight that captures the essence of the idea and then dive deeper into the heart of the wisdom that's held within each.

The four main topics we cover are: 

1. Satisfying needs (and how to differentiate between real and imagined needs).
2. How to say 'no' and a quick and easy way to determine which opportunities to say 'no' to.
3. Why our most sensitive triggers are the keys that unlock our deepest healing.
4. The quickest and easiest way to soften the voice of fear.

Note: One of the quotes I share in this episode contains a swear word (a gentle one, all things considered), but please beware in case you're sensitive or in case you're listening around little ears!

About a month ago, I was scrolling through Instagram and came across a quote that read,

"Unconditional love does not mean unconditional tolerance."

It got me to thinking... 

Unconditional love is something that's spoken about a lot, especially in spiritual circles. But the loose and flowing nature of its definition has made it susceptible to misinterpretation.

It's imperative that we recognize and honor this distinction between unconditional love and unconditional tolerance—the former fosters unity consciousness whereas the latter can lead us to linger in toxic or even dangerous situations. In this episode, we explore unconditional love, unconditional tolerance, and the vast but often overlooked differences that separate these two distinct energies.

The true function of feelings is to elicit healing. 

They arise within us to inform us. Their sole purpose is to grab our attention so that we can respond with an appropriate healing response. 

This typically isn't how we respond to feelings though. We typically respond to feelings—especially “negative” ones—not by feeling them but by thinking about them...

In other words, instead of feeling our feelings and opening to their wisdom, we react to our feelings by thinking about them (resisting), therefore creating thinkings about our feelings... and more feelings about our thinkings.

In this episode, we'll explore why we do do this and what we can do to stop thinking and start feeling our feelings.

If you feel as if your life as you've known it is imploding and everything you once knew, loved, and identified with no longer feels aligned with who you're becoming, this one is for you. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to be spiritually catalyzed.

This process of inner catalyzation is identified in a variety of ways in spiritual teachings and literature...

Tower Moment
Dark Night of the Soul (DNOS) 
Initiation
Spiritual Transformation 
Ego Death
The Big Hairy Breakdown

Yet, all of these names describe the same thing: A pivotal event or experience that initiates a process of deep inner transformation.

This episode is going to be a check-in and chat in which I'll share various anecdotes, musings, and teachings that I've been contemplating recently. 

That probably sounds very vague! To be more specific I've just jotted down a handful of ideas, questions, and insights throughout the last week. For example, what I'm currently reading, what I'm currently feeling + intuiting energy wise, my perspective on a spiritual question I was recently asked, and the psychological and spiritual practices I'm actively focused on in myself right now.

Each chakra can be thought of as an energy center or doorway that allows energy to flow between the human form and the Soul or Higher Dimensional Consciousness that animates the body.

Each chakra then is an energetic vortex point that connects the physical body to its Higher Dimensional Consciousness or Soul.

In this episode, we'll discuss the energetic container for the chakra system—the Etheric Body. As well as the Nadis, including the Sushumna, Ida, and Pingala Nadis. We'll also take a closer look at each of the nine chakras in the nine-chakra system (while recognizing the fact that our understanding of the major chakra system is currently expanding to include 12 to 15 chakras).

In this mini episode, we're exploring the concept of truth. I'll first give my personal (personality based) take on the topic of truth as I currently understand it, and then I'll share insights that came through during an intuitive Q + A session with my Higher Self. While we could spend many episodes exploring the topic of truth, this bite-size episode will intentionally leave several stones unturned. Keep this in mind as you listen and also as you reflect on whatever thoughts, feelings, and wisdom rise up within you afterwards.

In this episode, we're talking all about 'spiritual bypassing' and how we can't reveal our wholeness when only certain aspects of ourselves are "allowed".

We'll talk about what spiritual bypassing it is, why it happens, and the most common ways it shows up on the spiritual path. We'll also talk about authentic healing and ways to foster deep, transformative spiritual work.

There are many, many forms of psi phenomena but the main forms of psi, referred to as the 'Big Five," are:

1. Telepathy
2. Clairvoyance
3. Precognition
4. Telekinesis
5. Healing

The first three pertain to the transference of information and fall within the subcategory of ESP. The last two pertain to the transference of energy and fall within the subcategory of PK or psychokinesis. In today's conversation, we explore phenomena in the ESP category. In the episode, we examine laboratory evidence, consider how discoveries in the field of quantum physics might be able to explain the existence of psi phenomena, and discuss ways to open to or enhance your own ESP abilities.

Documented accounts of Near Death Experiences date back thousands of years to ancient Greece and Rome. All the major religious traditions include stories of NDEs as do narratives collected from indigenous populations from around the world. The medical literature from the 19th and early 20th centuries also includes NDE cases. (Source— After by Bruce Greyson, M.D.) Although it might seem like an unusual phenomenon, NDEs aren't all that uncommon. In fact, they're described by 10% of people whose hearts stop. And surveys taken in the US, Australia, and Germany suggest that 4 to 15% of the general population have had NDEs. In this episode, we're digging into the evidence on NDEs, looking at two unique and profound experiences, and discussing what the experience of (almost) dying teaches us about life.

There are 7 Veils of Illusions that get layered over our consciousness here on Earth in the physical plane of existence. Each one creates a unique filter of illusion. And it's in lifting the veils, one by one, that we begin to see reality for what it truly is. Once all seven veils have been lifted, we become enlightened. The true and most basic meaning of enlightenment is seeing clearly without distortion.

"But we need to be supermen never to forget the Vision of the Spirit, when matter insists on claiming our full attention." —C. Jinarājadāsa

As humans, we have a funny tendency to spend endless energy believing that tomorrow will be different instead of leveraging that energy to make today different.

Tomorrow-ing, quite simply, is the verb form of tomorrow. It’s what we do when we don’t do things today because we believe we’ll miraculously be more capable or willing to do them tomorrow.

We think tomorrow is the answer when in reality it’s the problem. Too often, ‘tomorrow’ becomes a catch-all for everything our instincts told us to do today.

In this episode, we unravel the 'why' behind tomorrow-ing and pull the rug out from under its supposed utility. We also discuss several practical ways to combat tomorrow-ing and start today-ing.

"Procrastination is the most common manifestation of Resistance because it is the easiest to rationalize. We don’t tell ourselves, ‘I’m never going to write my symphony.’ Instead we say, ‘I am going to write my symphony, I’m just going to start tomorrow.’"

—Steven Pressfield

The Zone of Divine Discomfort is the space we move into when we step just outside our comfort zone into the zone of proximal development to complete purposeful, soul-expanding, service-oriented work.

In order to actualize our purpose to the fullest extent possible, we must first find the courage to claim our power. But so many of us fear our own power. We keep our power at a distance in hopes of conforming or fitting in with outside expectations, as a means of self-protection (blending in is the safest bet in a judgmental world), in order to maintain a sense of control, to attain outside approval, and so on. 

Some of us fear our power because we've come to associate "power" with its ego-driven, hierarchical, and opportunistic counterpart of force. In this episode, we explore the differences between power and force and examine ways we can reclaim our power in a steady, heart-centered way so that we can more fully actualize our purpose.

"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in service of my vision, it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."

Audre Lorde
