https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wfg4f-dd762f Learning Takes Place Only in This Moment Quite often I’m frustrated by the fact that I seem to return over and over again to a “problem” that I thought I had a handle on. Over time I’ve come to realize that the degree to which I came to solve that issue has brought me to now, and this moment, and this deeper level of presence that I need to bring to the issue at hand. We are never finished with our core essential life challenges. We are just learning to be present to the more subtle and refined aspects

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-3968v-dd7618 Saying Thank You to Your Grumpy Self We are so used to judging ourselves for being “less than.” Thus, it’s a very challenging practice to truly listen to those parts of our self that whine, judge, emotionalize, traumatize, and/or mentalize everything. This podcasts supports and encourages you to listen to that part of you that perhaps had expectations of how the world would be and is in a constant state of grief for having it be otherwise. Anger, sadness, depression, despair, blaming, shaming…. Listen in and then please share your perspective with me on my Facebook page! – –

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-93dqx-dd23dd Simple But Not Easy Many spiritual leaders emphasize the simple steps it takes to get to spiritual enlightenment. Many forget, however, what it was like to discipline themselves to study, train, and be present to all the multiple dimensions that need to be attended to as one who aspires to, if nothing more, emerge from suffering and the agony of humanness. Like any endeavor, one needs to have passion to even start to create the dedication and discipline required to make progress. Spiritual evolution is no different. It is grueling work. The rewards, though, are so worth the effort!

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-v9jbv-db414a Dark Night of the Soul – It Occurs for All of Us! Dark Night of a Soul is a process every human being goes through at some time in their lives – maybe even more than once. You are not alone, though you look around and wonder why nobody seems to be in the same degree of agony that you are in. Though it is sometimes tremendously difficult to be immersed in the Abyssness of the moment, please know that you are not alone, and this too shall pass.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-fu4xn-db4129 Karma – The Best Teacher in the Universe Karma isn’t something we have to be afraid of. Nope. Actually, karma offers us opportunities to be true to ourselves, to our principles, and to our values. Karma gives us the opportunity to question the reality we’ve created thus far, and the ability to see things differently if we wish too.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-apu34-db3ed7 It’s Like Getting a Rocket Ship Off the Ground The momentum it takes to begin a spiritual journey is enormous. The trajectory is set – you know you are on your way, and yet, it feels like there isn’t enough energy to get you off the ground. Like a rocket ship, initially it takes a lot of energy to get off the ground. But once it’s out of reach of the gravitation pull of the Earth, it’s easier to move closer and closer to your trajectory. Listen in and then please share your perspective with me on my Facebook

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-f74wi-d9861d Three Steps Forward, Seven Steps Back As I mentioned in a previous podcast, we have assumptions and expectations about what will occur because we are choosing a spiritual path. One of those assumptions is that if I do the work I will make continual progress. This is true! However…. Doing the work may require revisiting dark, dank, and gooey places over and over again. That’s right, those places you thought you were already “done” with have more to teach you, and, oh, there is so much to learn and experience in those dark and dank places. They are so

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-5tiyr-d985d4 Outer Directed – Inner Directed Our consensus view of reality strongly encourages us to look outside ourselves for our values, principles, and the How-To’s of life. Most spiritual traditions, on the other hand, which may be different than religious dogmas, encourage that we find the truth within ourselves. In fact, we are encouraged to know that truth, trust that truth, and to defer to no one else for the truth! There is no right or wrong, good or bad in this process of discovering what’s true for you. As for me, from the time I was a child, I

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-zdgj4-d985a2 The Leap of Faith Cultivating the capacity to take leaps of faith could be seen as similar to learning how to master the art of flying through the air, leaping from one trapeze to another. You may not be surprised by this episode to hear that the process of taking the plunge in this spiritual immersion process will require you to take leaps of faith. But don’t worry, I’m not talking about huge leaps like from one trapeze to another. Actually, even the slightest shift in thinking or doing might feel as though you are crossing a great chasm

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-279n7-d9856e What Should I Expect to Get by Taking the Plunge? Part of every spiritual journey requires letting go of expectations and attachments to desired outcomes. Well, you might ask, “what’s the point of such a process if I can’t look forward to having what I want?” This has been a challenging one to wrap my head around. I’ve been so addicted to doing in order “to have” that to perceive this any other way seemed crazy-making. However, over time, I let go of doing in order to have, and only “do” for the sake of living in my highest
