Sober Yoga Girl || Alex McRobert

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 23:22:50 GMT

Fourteen months after I got sober, I started writing.

I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it.

I just knew that once I began, I couldn’t stop.

It felt like I was digging myself out of a deep, dark hole with every word I put on the page.

What I discovered was I actually wasn’t just a “Former Party Girl” 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ but actually a girl who was really really sad and searching for solutions at the bottom of a bottle.

Step 4 of the 12 step program is to make a “searching and fearless moral inventory” and writing this book was an inventory for me. What are my problems? How have they affected me and others around me? How can I proceed to recovery?

This story started out as a personal project. And then, the deeper I got into my work in sobriety, the more I realized how universal pain is. And how our stories become other people’s survival guides. And so the book took on greater meaning.

I spent one whole year working with @salonilakhia from 2020-2021 on this. I cried and cried over zoom as she dissected my work. After we finished, I then proceeded to let the book sit on my hard drive, which I’m grateful for. In that time a number of conflicts with myself and others came to conclusion that altered the way I saw the world and the message of the book.

I worked with the incredible @smillman0 who dissected this book yet again, and transformed it. Finally with @fuzzyflamingodesign for the final layout. Many friends read the book and gave me feedback. And finally - four years, three editors, 67 chapters and over 115,000 words - Sober Yoga Girl is almost here. ❤️✨ It’s coming soon. If you want to be the first to know when it’s out head to www.soberyogagirl.com and drop your email.

When Taylor Swift released TTPD, she wrote on Instagram, “This period of the authors life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.” ❤️

Her bio:
"Mayara grew up in Brazil and she had to overcome a very adverse and traumatic childhood. She has a history of physical, mental and sexual abuse that led her into an intense dependency on alcohol since her early years. Mayara finally moved to America in her mid twenties when she started her healing process that continues to evolve every day. Today, after a decade of healing work and extensive research on trauma and consciousness, she is a certified Sound Therapist and uses acoustic sound to relax the nervous system helping her clients to release emotions that might be trapped somewhere in the body causing mental, physical, and emotional unbalance and distress."

Topics include:
- poor background
- growing up with a scarcity mentality
- her father passed away at age 37 (she was only 4)

- got into drinking in her early teens
- had a fantasy to move to the USA through movies
- alcohol was a tool to escape

- moved to USA in her mid-20s

'Bhagavad Gita' || JEFF LESTER (Yoga Instructor, Coach)

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 16:10:02 GMT

From Jan 12th, 2022:

Happy 2022 and welcome to Part 5/8 in the 'Jefe Living 8-Part Mini Series' with one Jeff Lester!!
Today we talk about the ancient Hindu scriptures that make up what is considered to be one of the holy scriptures for Hinduism : "Bhagavad Gita".

There is so much practical information that is passed down to us in these scriptures; the information is very much applicable to us, even in our current modern times.

An overall birds-eye view of the book is that the central story being told is one that helps the reader become more aware of their own lives, helping point out the path to 'Ego Dissolve' & the dangers of attachment and ego identification and how selfless acts lead to true abundance in all aspects of life (plus much, much more!!).

This book is highly recommended - there are many different version in both book and audiobook form.
This information is useful at any age and at any stage of your life! There is a lot of replay value...

'Yin & Yang' || JEFF LESTER (Yoga Instructor, Coach)

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 16:10:02 GMT

Welcome to Part 4 of the 8-part-mini-series with Jeff Lester.

Today, we talk about the dualities of life, the darkness & the light, the Yin & the Yang.
Fresh off one of Jeff's Yin Yoga classes we both had the idea to discuss this topic, independent of each other! Clearly it was meant to be.

Jeff releases some of his signature insight and value-bombs on how more "Yin" in your life can really help all avenues and aspects of your experience.

☯️ Yin = surrender, letting things happen, breathing, awareness & observation, resting...
☯️ Yang = exercises such as running, resistance training (weights), thoughts, "get er done" attitude...

Jeff also gives some GREAT suggestions on how to start allowing my Yin into your life, one small step at a time!

'The Water Shaman' || SAMSON LUCE

Wed, 31 May 2023 10:20:01 GMT

This was one of my favourite interviews to do, to date!

I love Samson's energy, his storytelling and his infectious laugh. We discuss dualities & contrasting forces, his turning point from turning a life of partying and working long hours and just generally being unhappy, to turning a full 180 degrees into a being full of space and gratitude!

We discuss gratitude and the power of acceptance...we discuss the influence our environment has on us...we discuss the importance of a morning routine...Samson also shares his upbringing (which includes some very relateable stories of divorced parents and domestic violence, along with moving close to 100 times over his teenage years).

The best stuff on this episode is Samson's stories about his job as a water delivery man in the mountains in Colorado. He literally delivers water jugs of spring water to folks up in the mountains that surround the city he lives in! He talks about how he blesses the water, and always finds the time to pull over and sit down & breathe and feel gratitude for himself and his life.

Great stuff here!!

I apologize for some of the glitchy responses here - for the most part, the signal was good, but there are some intermittent spots where Samson cuts out.

'PAIN: Parents & Addicts In Need' || FLINDT ANDERSEN

Wed, 10 May 2023 16:10:01 GMT

As the Opioid and Fentanyl crisis continues to have a grip on our communities, there are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, moms and dads, whose lives are cut short because of accidental overdoses. Flindt continues the never-ending mission to communicate this reality and create change in a multitude of ways.

Flindt started drinking at age 13. His habit progressed to harder drugs through high school and college, which paved the way to a 23 year battle with Opioids. He was taking 70-80 Vicodin pills daily until his best friend admitted him into the Betty Ford treatment center in 2001. He’s been in recovery since.

In 2009, Flindt founded PAIN | Parents & Addicts In Need, and was awarded 2021 California Nonprofit of the Year. The nonprofit provides unique programs to communities, specializing in rehabilitation services and family support for those affected by substance abuse.

The nonprofit is a certified distributor of Narcan, the Opioid overdose reversal agent, and operator of Sober Living Homes in Fresno, California.

With a desire to have a greater impact on the drug community - especially through the pandemic when addicts were most vulnerable, Flindt opened New Perceptions North in 2020. The multi-facility recovery and treatment center offers a full continuum of subacute care and addiction rehabilitation services. The facilities are based in Central California.

Flindt regularly speaks in the media, addressing the public with information about the drug epidemic. He partners with lawmakers in California as an advocate of new legislation in the fight against drug trafficking - particularly legislation that creates changes in the way dealers and drug suppliers are prosecuted.

To connect with leaders across the globe on a regular basis, Flindt launched the podcast Don’t Hide The Scars. Weekly episodes dive deep into addiction, drug culture, and their effects on families, businesses, sports, entertainment and communities. In 2021, he completed the first episode of the documentary film series Don’t Hide The Scars Project.

Flindt is a life-long Fresno, California resident. He credits his wife of 40+ years and his two sons to his continued successful recovery.

In 2021 Alex left her career as an elementary school teacher to pursue this passion full time.

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 17:10:02 GMT

Justin and I were in the same business mentoring program (Strong Coach).

I really dig what he is doing with his work as a holistic lifestyle coach who specializes in anxiety.

In this episode, we talk about our experience in Strong Coach, his origins in anxiety and what led him to be able to open up after years of avoidance and keeping to himself.

Justin also flexes some of his very capable coaching muscles on topics such as proper eating habits, how powerful breath work can be, and some other anxiety management tips.

We also talk about counselling, support groups, holistic healing and many other topics!

This episode is not specifically to do with alcohol, but there are so many parallels - I imagine you will get a lot out of it!

'Live a Life Worth Dying For' || ROGER DAVIES

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 17:10:01 GMT

Roger epitomizes what I am trying to illustrate here on 'Beyond Recovery'!
This interview is incredible...

"I am Roger Davies and welcome to my Adventure blog – here you will find information about me and my Journey of Recovery from Crime, Addiction and Cancer to Wild Adventures.

On New Year’s Day 2020, I found myself standing in our hallway before two Guinness World Records with ‘Roger Davies’ inscribed on them. Every story has a beginning: mine started at the age of ten, when a surgeon told me I was disabled, never to enjoy physical activities again.

Over time there have been many challenges and demons to fight in my ‘interesting’ roller coaster ride of a life. Through necessity and chance, from a violent criminal and alcoholic, I evolved into an entrepreneur, honorary eccentric, charity worker in Africa and an adventurer. More than half a century later, at the tender age of 71, on Mount Everest, I played in the two highest games of rugby in history, and entered the record books. I relish unusual experiences, from hard core expeditions, pulling my sled over some of the most desolate terrain on the planet, trekking 650 km from Resolute Bay in Canada to the North Pole, to the altitude problems of the world’s highest trek, in the Himalayas, and the fearsome heat of the Sahara. And then there are the extreme rowing challenges, including the brutal and, sadly, ultimately tragic world-record attempt to row across the violent, uncompromising North Atlantic in the world’s toughest rowing race.

I like to think I have done all this with commitment, humour and unbridled enthusiasm. And I only achieved all this by remaining clean and sober, one day at a time, since 2 February 1981. As I have grown older, travelled more and become somewhat better informed, I have come to truly appreciate that time is my most precious resource. I accept that I am trekking, a day at a time, through life – just this once! I choose not to waste the adventure!

Then, at 9.30 a.m. on 29 October 2020, I was given the diagnosis: I had the big C …

And now begins possibly the most challenging and important journey of my life and one which, and I say this with humility, I intend to tackle using the life skills I have acquired in my career as an adventurer. Blessed am I to have the help and support of my wife, close friends, colleagues and an incredible medical team.

As a cancer survivor, I was encouraged to paddle a single kayak across the English Channel from Dungeness, UK to Boulogne, France on 3 August 2021, celebrating six months, to the day, since my last chemotherapy cycle, and on 8 October kayaked the return journey. I smashed it both ways!

While this is my story of transformation, I hope that others (maybe you) will read it and understand that there is no limitation to what human beings can achieve. If there is a message to this book it’s that I’m just an ordinary guy who went out and did extraordinary things."

🌕 Full Moon Event || Cold Moon - December 2022

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 01:32:41 GMT

The final moon of 2022 is the Cold Moon.

Tonight's moon is a Gemini moon which captures the reflection of the past year, as well as the intentions for the upcoming year.

This full Moon has also been called the Long Night Moon (Mohican), as it rises during the “longest” nights of the year, which are near the December winter solstice.
This name is doubly fitting because December’s full Moon shines above the horizon for a longer period of time than most full Moons.

In most of North America, we will see the Moon drift very close to Mars and then obscure it entirely.
This astronomical event is called a “lunar occultation.”

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

'Wood and Spirit' || MATTHEW MORRISSON

Sun, 13 Nov 2022 12:55:01 GMT

Matthew Morrisson joins the show today to talk about many different topics.
Matt is very open and thoughtful about his own mental health issues over the years, and the shifts he has made to get to a healthier place.

Matt was raised to have a curiosity about life and has always found himself interested in a wide variety of things. He spent much of his 20s and 30s going where the winds of life took him, including stints in food service, finance, land surveying, sales, and the Army. For the last 10 years, he has been in the software industry, where he spent most of it training customers and becoming passionate about having an impact on others.

In 2015, he had his own spiritual awakening moment while reading a book he thought he would hate and his life changed course. Since that time, he has developed a passion for learning more about himself, and learning to love who he finds, while empowering others to discover their own greatness.

Matt is open about his struggles with mental health and believes that the key to thriving with these struggles in your life is to shine a light on them. In 2016, he discovered woodworking helps him manage many of those issues and now spends a lot of his free time in his workshop.

Matt is passionate about changing the way he looks at things, and in turn, watching the things he looks at change.

Sat, 08 Oct 2022 11:55:01 GMT

Simon Caruso is a podcaster, coach, and speaker in the area of transition, assisting people in transitioning from mundane and unrewarding lives to one in alignment with their core values and purpose.

A first-generation Australian born to Italian migrants, Simon experienced a cultural upbringing based on strong family connections and a solid work ethic as essential ingredients to a successful life. He inherited these beliefs throughout his childhood and had a strong desire to live up to these expectations and make his parents proud.

Having completed high school without a clear direction, he enrolled in University to fulfill his parents' wishes – by taking advantage of an opportunity they were never afforded in receiving a quality education, getting himself a good job, and ultimately earning good money in a specialized career.

Having dropped out of University after 2 years, he began his career in the telecommunications industry and over the past 20 years has experienced various roles in different industries. His constant feelings of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment led him on a journey of self-development, where he has invested $100,000 and 10,000 hours over the past 6 years to discover how to find his own niche and has ultimately developed a strong passion for educating others on how to do the same.

Sat, 01 Oct 2022 11:55:01 GMT

Marianne McGuire is the creator of Let Go and Know®: How to Let Go of Struggle and Know Who You Really Are.
She guides people to experience the sweet relief of finally living from who they REALLY are; to discover their purpose, and unlock their power and expression, so that they can live the creative, connected and fulfilled life they were born to live, without always seeking, trying to fix themselves, over-giving, or being in anxiety or doubt.

Marianne has a gift for seeing beyond a person's conditioning/personality, to the beautiful truth of who they REALLY are. Her work comes from a direct experience of "being" Awareness. She had this profound spiritual experience when she was six years of age, when she received certain fundamental universal truths about reality and who we really are.

The essence of this experience, this pure information is facilitating her mission: to nudge you into remembrance of the magnificence of who you really are, so that you can stand in your own power and express your Truth, and live from freedom, ease, peace, and joy, be yourself, and live the life you were born to live: your Deeper Destiny.

We are using the New Moon as a leaping-off point, to explain to anyone new in the community, and will be taking up where we left off on October 9th for the next Full Moon!

'Microdosing Magic Mushrooms for Mental Health' || MICHAEL GRISWOLD

Sat, 24 Sep 2022 11:55:01 GMT

On the day before his first anniversary, Michael was driving with his pregnant wife when he fell asleep behind the wheel.
When he woke up in the emergency room, the hospital chaplain told him: “We only brought back one body from the accident”.
Both his wife and unborn son were killed in that accident.
This is the story of how he came back to life after he was very nearly killed by the guilt and grief in the aftermath of that tragedy.

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 11:55:01 GMT

Coach Chase Tolleson and I discuss the making of his debut album - 'Mystical Giants'!

Spoken word over lofi hip-hop, 'Mystical Giants' is truly an album like no other.

"Chase is a men’s life & fitness coach & his Primal Man Pathway Program helps men finally become proud of the man in the mirror – both on the inside & out. With fitness as a staple in his house growing up, he learned the value of daily movement & resistance training at an early age. Directionless & bored in school, he joined the Navy after 4 years of “trying” college. After the Navy, he found his passion in helping people and ran a boutique personal training gym for 8 years. He now serves men online using language and stories to demolish their inner critics and help them build the body – and life – of their dreams."

Bee Magic🐝 || BOGDAN CHUGUNOV (CEO of Bee Magic & Health Republic)

Sat, 17 Sep 2022 11:55:02 GMT

"As a cancer survivor, I passed through a lot.
After it was surgically removed in 2005 my life has turned upside-down.
I changed my business from employment agency to natural supplements distributor and functional foods importer.

Later, I became a brand owner and brought several natural remedies to the USA from around the globe under my own brand names: "Bee Magic" and "Health Republic".

I do believe such remedies directly or indirectly prevent human mutated cells to convert into cancerous.
I've learned a lot about Manuka Honey (I visited New Zealand and became a US distributor in 2014), and now I know how to identify real Manuka honey from fake.
(my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIo7IYRuFhkGiOUxvNz4kfw tells you a little what I mean).

I can tell the audience about common tricks nowadays mass Manuka honey manufacturers use to keep their brand “competitive” in the US market and why FDA does not control the "Manuka honey"."

This is an AMAZINGLY informative episode that covers a lot of the health benefits of Manuka Honey, as well as some overview conversations about holistic health in general!

'Millionaire Mindset' || BRYAN GOUTHRO (Part 2/2)

Fri, 16 Sep 2022 11:55:02 GMT

I am honoured and thrilled to have Mr. Bryan Gouthro on the show today.

Get ready to sit under the Learning Tree of Business!! Bryan basically came on and performed an 80-minute-mic-drop.

Bryan gave so much incredible insight, by way of storytelling, as well as providing some amazing quotes and soundbites :

"If it is to be, it is up to me".

"Systemize what you can".

"Success isn't hard - we make it hard".

"Success takes discipline and routines".

"People are more than their jobs".

"Don't leave things hanging in the air".

"Leadership is a learned skill".

* Bryan was able to leverage his own furniture store into a franchising deal with The Brick; for much of his career he was in charge of 19 locations here in Western Canada.

'Near Death & Near Life Experiences' || JORDAN CHURDER

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 16:47:31 GMT

This is an AMAZING interview! I met Jordan on Kyle Cease's "Absolutely Everything Pass" community.
He has a very uncommon, riveting life story that he shares with me today.

Jordan has agreed to come back for a Part 2 in the future!

"There was life before meditation, psychedelics, and the I AM experience, and there is life after. I worked over 40 different jobs trying to find myself.

I was an actor/stuntman in LA, top server at The Four Season Beverly Wilshire, an estate manager (think huge mansion with a polo field) for the ceo of Windsor Capital Group, graduated Summa Cum Laude from Buffalo State College while studying abroad my senior year in Madrid, Spain, became an owner/operator taxi driver and bought my first rental property after 6 months of hustling (turned a 3 unit into a 4 unit), bought another property 3 years later and transformed it into a 5 bed/5 bath top rated Bed & Breakfast in Niagara Falls, became a hazmat truck driver for a little more than 3 years while running my properties, sold my properties and business during the pandemic, paid off $400k debt and live debt free, converted a van into a RV and have traveled everywhere across America and Hawaii visiting all the great cities and National Parks and Forests since Christmas of 2021.

Now I’m in Bali, beginning a new chapter as a heart-based guide for empaths and creators going through their Spiritual Awakening move from feeling trapped by limiting beliefs to living their dreams."

EP28 - F*ck Up Friday || "I Got This"

Welcome to the first-ever "F*ck Up Friday"!

F*ck Up Friday:
Fail forwards, I always say!
You either win or you learn.
There is no true failure unless it leads to you continuing to make the same mistakes…or outright quitting.

“F*ck Up Nights” are gaining traction, worldwide.
They are events where people share their failures in a safe and supportive space - in order to normalize failure and remove the need to attach shame or hide from their failures.

We all fall flat on our faces.
If failure is not an option - then neither is success.

Please share with us - some of your perceived failures that turned into some of your greatest triumphs!

My F-Up was when I told myself "I got this!" after 3+ years of sobriety in 2015. I attempted to drink in moderation, only to have my old patterns and habits take hold.

Welcome to the Full Moon Event for April! 🌕

Today's Full Moon is the "Pink Moon" and is at its height at 1pm MST - which just so happens to be as we are recording!!

Darci gives us the rundown, as usual :)

Here is a good link for what this moon means:
https://www.nylon.com/life/april-2022-full-pink-moon-libra-spiritual-meaning

"April, famously the cruellest month, has actually been home to 2022’s most psychedelic astrology. Along with historic Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in the dreamy waters of Pisces, April’s cosmic weather also boasts a boundary-less Pisces stellium and an incoming solar eclipse on the Taurus-Scorpio axis. If that sounds like a lot, that’s because it is — but fear not! The universe is doling out some much-needed balance in the form of a full moon in Libra. This lunation, also known as the Pink Moon, operates in harmony, and who among us can’t use an extra boost of Venusian stability?"

Creating Happiness & Action Language

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 00:17:28 GMT

*from our Zoom LIVE Event from March 30th, 2022:

As we enter spring and COVID seems to be winding down, there is a lot of accumulated uncertainty and anxiety over these past 2 years.

There is a lot of anger and division amongst people right now. Carryover from the mask mandates, the vaccines, and everything else the pandemic brought.

How many of you are feeling this uncertainty and anxiety coming out of these past 2 years?

So tonight, we are going to get into some skills that you can use to ensure you are being kind to yourself, as well as the others around you.

These skills are quite simple and easy to integrate.

Matt presents: "Action Language"

EP17 : What-If Wednesday || 3rd Installment!

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 17:40:02 GMT

Time, again, for 'What-If Wednesday'!

What-If Wednesday allows us a chance to practice flipping that into a "Positivity Push-up", as Megan calls it.

The human brain is a problem-identifier
..and the Reticular Activating System of the brain loves to find themes in your thoughts and what you are looking for and experiencing.
So if you're focusing on the negative, you'll find more negative!!

We each take a few minutes and 'what-if' the best case scenarios of our days ahead.
It is interesting how exciting the day can sound when you 'what-if' the best-case scenario.

**Of note - Fear and excitement show up the same way in your body!
It is all about how your brain decides to filter it: are you fearful and full of self-doubt? ..or are you confident and full of curiosity?

EP12 - Mindshift Monday || Breathe

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 16:34:52 GMT

Mindshift Monday's subject? Breath and proper breathing!

Taking 3-5 abdomen breaths can change your state very quickly and effectively.

We live in a world where we are in a mild (or more than mild) stress response all day long, that traps our breath in our chest.

Let's get into why this is and how to fix it!

EP10 - Third Act Thursday || Threshold

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 16:29:54 GMT

Last week we talked about the 3 acts of the Hero’s Journey.

Act 1: The Calling: People who are feeling unhappy and unfulfilled with their jobs, feeling of an unlived life inside them.
There is a movement in the world right now called “The Great Resignation”.
People are betting on themselves more than ever. There are a lot of people disenchanted with the 9-5 pm day job routine, and they are working on their own businesses.
There is a huge influx of entrepreneurs coming out of the pandemic.

Why do you think that is?

Some of my clients and I have been talking a lot about what their values are, their principles..these key beliefs are what make up your threshold.
After this threshold is crossed, or you feel your job is no longer congruent with your principles, your key beliefs - that’s where you’re likely to look elsewhere.
Just like a relationship that is no longer suites you.

The threshold is the 2nd Act in the Hero’s Journey. The point of no return. This is where you start to do some redefining, and some soul searching. Some define it as an existential crisis….who am I? what am I doing here?….and why?

It’s coming up on a year when I decided to follow this path. I took a 6-month sabbatical from my job and followed my calling, past the threshold and I’m having my period of rebirth. And I am ready to go back in for more.

The Hero’s Journey repeats itself throughout your life. As long as you answer the Calling. Your calling.

My call to action on this 3rd Act Thursday?
Activate your greatness and step into the life you were destined to live.
If you need help with that - I am here for you.

EP9 : What-If Wednesday || Fear or Excitement?

EP9 : What-If Wednesday || Fear or Excitement?

Welcome to the 1st edition of 'What-If Wednesday'!

The human brain is a problem-identifier..and the Reticular Activating System of the brain loves to find themes in your thoughts and what you are looking for, and experiencing.

What-If Wednesday allows us a chance to practice flipping that into a "Positivity Push-up", as Megan calls it.

We each take a few minutes and 'what-if' the best case scenarios of our days ahead.

The theme that came up was how exciting the day can sound when you 'what-if' the best-case scenario.

(Of note - Fear and excitement show up the same way in your body!)

The other theme is that schedules are made to be flexible, based on the principles of the person who writes the schedule.
If you surrender to the day and prioritize the right things, based on your principles and values, you will not be so 'achievement focused' and will enjoy the moments more!

EP7- Mindshift Monday || Be > Do

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 03:23:44 GMT

EP7 - Mindshift Monday || 'Be, Rather Than Do''

I had some cool revelations during my meditation this morning:

Be, rather than Do
Explore, rather than Achieve
Respond, rather than React.

I was having this constant thought pattern of "You have to get up and start doing things!!" Around 25 min in I decided to just observe this energy.

EP6 - Soundbath Sunday || "The Inner Calling"

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 03:21:26 GMT

Welcome to the 1st edition of 'Soundbath Sunday'!

I am playing 'The Inner Calling'
composed by Music of Wisdom - Licensed from https://meditationmusiclibrary.com/.'

"As humans, we're often surrounded by negative vibes. We can be exposed to the negativity that makes us irritated and affects our overall wellbeing to the extent that it starts interfering with our routine. If you're going through such an ordeal, no need to worry because we have one of the best solutions for your troubles; sound healing therapy!

Sound healing therapy dates back to ancient Greece. They'd make use of musical instruments to create sounds that are soothing for the mind and put it to rest. We can also find many traces of this therapy among other cultures, such as the Aborigines and the Native Americans.
They all use different instruments, such as a yidaki, to heal the physical ailments of the people in their tribe. Many even believe that singing or chanting it as a communal ritual can bless the entire tribe.

It certainly shows us that sound healing therapy has been in use for years now and is effective.

What Is Sound Healing Therapy and Why Is It Important?
In essence, sound healing therapy makes use of musical instruments to improve your mental and physical wellbeing. It can also open up your blocked chakras and help you reach a stage of spiritual consciousness.

It has become a common practice among spiritual people and healers. Even ordinary people listen to soothing music to promote sleep and soothe pain. You must know that music has a healing effect on each of us, and that is what sound healing therapy does; it allows your mind to relax and open for healing.
Benefits of Sound Healing Therapy
Making sound healing therapy a part of your daily routine helps you improve and rejuvenate as an individual. It starts by opening up your blocked chakras, which in turn allow you to be more alert and more energetic in all senses.

Some of the most important benefits include:
• It restores the mental, emotional, and physical balance of your being.
• It helps in reducing stress and anxiety.
• Improves concentration and memory.
• It improves your sleeping pattern and sleep quality.
• Enhances your immunity against diseases and illnesses.
• Allows you to be more creative and conscious.
• Heightens your spirituality and higher consciousness."

EP3 - 3rd Act Thursday || Where Are You on Your Hero's Journey?

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 03:16:17 GMT

EP3 - Third Act Thursday

The ‘3rd act’ of someone’s life is generally regarded as the period where someone enters retirement.

I want to talk about the 3rd Act as a period in our Hero’s Journey where we are coming out of a stage of growth and discovery - we have done some soul searching, we have made some changes and we are ready to return to everyday life - better than ever before!

A simplified view of the Hero’s Journey breaks it into 3 stages or acts :
1) The calling. The feeling there is more to life.
2) The threshold. Crossing into the unknown, the point of no return. This is the stage (act 2) that prevents most people from entering this journey as it creates a lot of feelings of fear and uncertainty.
3) Rebirth. You have made your way out of the darkness, the soul searching, you have realigned with your calling and created a higher version of yourself.
You have recovered the essence of who you are.

Recovery is a term that speaks to the “action of recovering something that was lost or stolen”.
Are there any events in your life where you felt like you lost sight of who you are, or why you’re here? Was there anything traumatic that happened that created a feeling of your innocence being taken from you?
A divorce, bullying, substance abuse, relationship trauma?

I know for me, personally, I have experienced all the above!
We will be talking a lot about reframing life situations on this show, which will lead to dissolving and resolving any victim mentality you may have.

3rd act means rebirth.
3rd act also means you are ready to share your story with others…a byproduct of this sharing can be helping others get out of their 2nd stage of soul searching - that, let’s face it, can be frightening and create feelings of ‘alone’ and ‘stuck’.

Your 3rd act can be: coming out of a relationship, recovering from an addiction, pivoting careers, starting your own business, going back to school, starting a health & wellness program to transform your body and mind…you get the idea.

The Heros Journey is a cycle we run throughout our lives. Some are big character arches full of deep peaks and valleys of transformation, some are much smaller and more subtle.

Keep in mind - every Hero’s Journey includes a mentor for the protagonist. Luke Skywalker had Obi-Wan, Neo had Morpheus, Sarah Connor had Kyle Reese…

Where are you on your hero’s journey? I am interested to know.
Is there a calling you have that you haven’t answered yet?
Are you a little uneasy or afraid to enter that 2nd act?

I can support you with all of this.
If you need help or guidance, I am just a few clicks away.
I give a free complimentary 90-minute discovery call where we can identify where you are and where you can get to.

Remember: fear and excitement show up in the body the exact same way. It is all about how your mind processes it.
Are you afraid and full of self-doubt?
Or are you excited and full of curiosity and enthusiasm?

The choice is yours.
Red pill or blue pill? ;)
