Authentic Living

The process of self-healing must, at its most effective, include mindfulness. Our guest for this week is Sue PattonThoele, author of the book The Mindful Woman, along with several others, is here to talk with us about what it means to be mindful. The process of mindfulness is exactly that, a process. And its most important feature is the ability to look within without judgment. This means we don’t label our thoughts, feelings, beliefs or even our life events and our responses to them as either good or bad, wrong or right. We simply see them and even learn to sit with them. Sue’s work is mostly for women, but the same process applies to all genders. Would you like to learn more about how you can apply this peaceful process to your life? Don’t miss this show.

When pigs fly, right? The reason why we don’t consider this a real possibility is not because we are inherently evil people who are striving to be good, but can’t quite pull it off. It’s because we believe we are separate from the Divine. We sit around blaming the Divine for the way things are, praying for the Divine to fix it, when we ARE the Divine! We’ve been taught that it is blasphemy to consider ourselves Divine. And this belief has built our churches to Babel heights. But what if we’ve never really been separate from the Divine? What if the only real blasphemy is in ignoring our inherently Divine nature? Tune in and find out how to wake up, be born to your own “Christ” nature this Christmas.

Are you frustrated because you can’t quite get yourself to do, think, say, be the things that you desire to do, think, say and be? What or who is standing in your way? We hear lots and lots of talk about the law of attraction and yet here we are in this recession waiting for the other shoe to fall. We have so many dreams that are yet to manifest and we are trying—oh, we are trying so hard—so why hasn’t it happened yet? What we tend to do with questions like this is turn them into an opportunity for self-flagellation, as in “What’s wrong with me?” We interpret a lot of life that way, don’t we? Well, this week we are going to do away with self-flagellation and mindfully removing the blocks to your authentic life. Don’t miss this show!

There are so many self-help books, seminars and conferences out there which provide us with a technique, or two or three, meant to be used to heal us, and bring us happiness. But the real keys to healing and happiness are found right here inside of us. Through her own inner journey of healing, Trish Bishop has come to understand this concept and present it to others through her new book, “The Question Journey,” in a way that allows them, not to come to the experts for answers, but to find their own answers. We do seem to resist this—we really do want others to be held accountable for our lives. But the truth is that no one is accountable but us, because no one can take the journey but us. Further, there is no journey outward, for only the one inward is real. Trish’s new mission, after serving as an IT consultant for Fortune 500 companies, is to educate and inspire others to wake up and choose to live consciously.

No matter what anyone says, the biggest deal is finding your own way. We can get so confused by the external voices yammering for affirmation within us. But, here’s the thing: Unless you can affirm it internally—it’s not true for you. So this week, we are going to explore how you can come to terms with your own radical revelations, while maintaining your sanity. Such explorations involve learning how to walk safely into the hazardous terrain of the unconscious to find that deep, melding internal bliss of uniting the opposites. But in order to do that one has to be grounded in the solid, earthiness of life right here on planet earth. Spirituality is a “both/and” kind of perspective, one that doesn’t live in the nether regions of some ether realm, particularly one plotted out for you by someone else. Rather it plants itself firmly on earth, while reaching inward for heaven. We are going to learn how to do both, simultaneously. Don’t miss this show!
