Ep-20 Things Happen For You, Not To You

What does everything happens for a reason mean spiritually? What is the difference between good and bad? Maybe it’s just a matter of judgement and perspective.

In this episode we discuss how even when we may judge somethings as good or bad, those “bad” things may actually be good for us and a way to learn and evolve. In fact, petty tyrants and challenges are often the best way for us to grow. Hear some example from our lives…

And you just might learn that the slap up side the head, or the unanswered prayer is actually the best blessing you can have to help you evolve and have exactly what you want.

Ep-19 Your Relationship with Yourself

How do you know if you have a good relationship with yourself? Why your relationship with yourself is so important, and what does it have to do with spirituality?

In this episode we discuss why your relationship with yourself is so important to your emotional and spiritual well-being and why being so hard on yourself can be so damaging, and yet we all do it every single day.

We aren’t talking about having relations with yourself, but we might get a good laugh out of this Eddie Murphy reference during our discussion.

E327 How Long Are You Going to Cry Over Spilled Milk?

You’ve heard “never cry over spilt milk,” but whether you realize it or not you are spilling milk every day of your life. What’s important is what you do when you spill the milk.

Do you clean it up, or let it sit there getting sour, stinky, curdled and cry about it or beat yourself up?

In this episode we take a trip back to the old dairy farm, so when the proverbial cow kicks the bucket, you know exactly what to do. And this episode is safe for everyone… even those of you who are lactose intolerant.

Ep-18 Are You Copying or Creating?

“True growth is not growing inside of someone else’s system of values and beliefs… It is finding and discovering your own.”

In this episode we take Jason’s first impression about the quote and discuss how true growth really happens when we stop copying others and start authentically creating as an artist… and we just may reference Warhol, Monet, the Beatles, and the Beach Boys to help make some points.

Each person’s spiritual path is different. Can you withhold judgement of yourself and others, and instead celebrate and receive inspiration from the artistry of others in creating your own life and path?

E326 Pink and Orange Crayons

Life is choice, and often as adults we are concerned with making the “right” choices… often leading us to freeze and never make a choice, or stop our feet like toddlers because what we see as the “right” choice is not one we have to choose from.

In this episode I use a very childish thing, crayons… to talk about a very adult topics.

Ep-17 Is That Really What You Believe?

“True growth is not growing inside of someone else’s system of values and beliefs… It is finding and discovering your own.”

In this episode we take Brad’s first impression about the quote and discuss how our indoctrination from childhood leads to the values and beliefs we often have now… many of which we may no longer believe or may be questioning, and how living others values and beliefs leaks and gives away our personal power. The spiritual path often leads to questioning these values and beliefs we have been taught and being true to what we actually believe.

It’s Really That Simple

Complexity usually comes with the expensive price tag of worry and anxiety. What would happen if you simplified your life? Would you feel more peace, joy, and happiness?

In this episode we share some examples of how more, and more complication is usually not your best option. And what can happen when you start making little steps to live simply. Most people want a complex checklist of things to do, when often it is the simple that is most powerful.

Ep-16 The Air That I Breathe

“Sometimes… all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you” The Hollies. Sometimes it’s just that simple. In fact, without breath in just a few minutes your body dies so it’s vital to life, and it’s also vital to your spiritual evolvement.

In this episode we discuss how we can be more grateful for the air we breath, the circle of life and connection it creates with the world around us, how it can relax us and remove the monkey chatter in our head, and some simple exercises you can use with the element of air and breath.

And don’t let the simplicity of it fool you. Often the simple things are the most powerful.

Accepting the Is-Ness of the Moment

Can you accept what is, and be present in the moment? Are you judging and calling things good or bad, instead of saying “we’ll see?”

“When people see things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad.” Lao Tzu.

Can you withhold judgement and be grateful for the unanswered prayers and choices you’ve made that have gotten you to where you are today. Maybe that broken leg, bad relationship, person you never got to date, etc… was a necessary part of you becoming who you are today.
