Our beliefs shape our reality. Throughout life, starting with childhood, we pick up beliefs from others along the way. We definitely cannot control everything, we actually have little control in life but what we control is our thoughts. The ones we choose to feed and interact with. We can rewire our thinking patterns to empower ourselves and live the life we desire, instead of suffering through life. So how do we revamp our current belief system, clear out our negative beliefs, and shift to the universal truth in order to thrive in life? To answer this question, I invited Hale Dwoskin, New York Times best-selling author, one of the featured teachers of the book and movie phenomenon, “The Secret,” and in the sequel documentary film "The Greatest Secret” by the same director among other features. " He is the co-founder of Sedona Training Associates, an organization that teaches courses based on emotional releasing techniques.

“Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.” – Dalai LamaEveryone has their own way to deal with their pain. Nonetheless, oftentimes, we tend to opt for hitting when it hurts when we are hurt by another person or just hurt for whatever reason. As a way to cope with our pain, we share or deflect our pain on someone else, we point fingers and blame others because it's too much to bear alone. When we can, in fact, choose compassion and healing instead of hatred and reacting from our wounded self. This led me to wonder how self-acceptance and embodying our truest self, help in developing compassion inside of us to bring more happiness into our personal lives and into the collective well-being as well.To help me answer this question, I invited Chris Cirak, the author of the book “Be You: The Journey of Self-Realization”, meditation teacher, and mindfulness retreat leader. Chris teaches living a life of joy and self-realization through empathy, presence, mindfulness, and human values. Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW by learning about -Compassion for self;Self-healing childhood wounds;Letting go of reactivityStopping misusing our minds;Compassion for others;Mindfulness as a universal tool for getting in touch with self; And more ...CONNECTWITH ChrisWebsite: https://www.cirak.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriscirak/WITH MeWebsite: www.consciousmatters.coSay hi on the podcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersSubscribe to Conscious Matters Youtube channelShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.PROFIT  from  ~ Chris' Free meditations: here~ Chris' book:  "Be You: The journey to self-realization": here~ Conscious Matters' free 5-day self-love challenge: here~ Want to be part of the Conscious Matters Community?

At the beginning of the year, many of us have new resolutions usually around health that essentially revolve around our bodies. But we often forget that the state of our body is also a consequence of the state of our mental and spiritual health. I understand being healthy as something transcendental to the body only. We can approach health from a 360 perspective. That's exactly what we expand on in this episode with Kerry Fisher, a lawyer turned author, coach, and teacher for athletes, corporations, and private clients in a variety of disciplines including mindset, meditation, breath work, physiology, and personal development. In this conversation, she also shares some gems from her past books as well as her upcoming one putting holistic health at their center.  So let's fully reboot for this new year and make sure our health is top-notch.Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW by learning about -The all-encompassing approach to health;Health mindset shift;Spiritual wellness to create a life of ease, flow & peak performance;The importance of routines to support our well-being; Being kind to ourselves in the process of reaching wellness; And more ...CONNECTWITH KerryWebsite: www.kerryfishercoaching.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/iamkerryfisherWITH MeAbout me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comMore talks about empowerment through holistic wellness on Youtube: www.youtube.com/@consciousmattersSay hi on the podcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.PROFIT  from Kerry's books: Tools for Extraordinary Living: The Snooze Button Sessions - Check it out hereRoutines for Extraordinary Living: A Manual for Life - Check it out hereREAD the full blog post here: www.wahayu.com/consciousmatters -SUPPORT this self-produced podcast:Leave a reviewSubscribe and Share Support the show

We all want to live the life of our dreams, and I'd say we're very much in our right to want so. Nonetheless, to get to the desired destination we cannot avoid going through the journey of life full of ebbs and flows. I overcame most of the challenges in my life thanks to triple-ling down on mindset work. That journey actually led me to create Conscious Matters platform. As you know by now, I just recently expanded Conscious Matters to YouTube (same name, different content), thus adding another format where I mainly focus over there on mindset work. Utilizing the power of our minds to favor the outcomes of our lives is what we'll be discussing about today with the amazing Elizabeth Thorn, writer, traveler and entrepreneur who used mindset work to completely transform her life in a way she absolutely loves!Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW by learning about -What is mindset work;Coming from rock bottom to living authentically by using mindset work;The balance of spirituality and practicality to manifest our desires;Fixed vs growth mindset;Letting go of control but doing our part; And more ...Get ready for part 2 next month!CONNECT WITH ElizabethWebsite: www.sherpawaymarketing.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/elizabeththornwriterWITH MeAbout me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comMore talks about empowerment through holistic wellness on Youtube: www.youtube.com/@consciousmattersSay hi on the podcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

Have you ever said yes to something out of obligation, guilt, or fear when you really did not want to? Have you ever felt taken advantage of or disrespected to a certain extent?  I've been mentioning boundaries a lot throughout many episodes already but I think I've never fully dived into the nitty gritty of it.

This month we're trying to tame the plague of self-sabotage. Getting our inner critic to go from being our being our biggest enemy to becoming our best of friends. Stopping it to prevent us from growing, expanding, reaching our wildest desires, and truly living the life we aspire to. What better way than discussing this subject in a way that helps us re-frame the scary parts of our ego, from battling with our inner critic to releasing fears to finally taking action while not forgetting to explore the laborious phases of self-doubt, procrastination, and lack of motivation?Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW  by learning about -Battling our inner saboteur;Self doubts craved in our subconscious mind;Procrastination: laziness or copying mechanism? The joy threshold;Uncovering and releasing our fears;Acceptance of the human dichotomy;Processes to overcome self-sabotage;And more ...CONNECT  WITH ME About me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comSay hi on the podcast instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

We're back to talking about depression but from a lighter perspective. Who would have guessed that one of the worst period of your life could actually be a blessing in disguise? That's what I realized when I went through my own depression a few years back which eventually brought me to this path of awareness and this conscious lifestyle. That's also what - New York Times best seller author, recurring Oprah show guest, and the man who spent decades interviewing over 100 of the greatest spiritual leaders of our time to get their take on how to live a happy, peaceful, and meaningful life (including the Dalai Lama, Byron Katie, Oprah, Deepak Chopra, the late Mother Teresa and Ram Dass) - Jonathan Robinson is writing about in this latest book "The Enlightenment project: How I went from depressed to blessed and you can too."

This month we're taking advantage of this new moon right now to clean the slates and start anew stronger than ever but in order to move on healthily and efficiently forgiveness is key. To me, forgiveness is an essential part of your growth, it's about giving that grace to yourself by letting go of a past painful experiences.

Now that the travel restrictions seem to have been lifted in most countries, I asked myself if travel, or money, or the lack of ties or commitments, or any external element for that matter - is it what we define as true freedom? To me, freedom is about liberating your mind first- which means liberating yourself from the inside. Liberating ourselves from our mental prison. We can be free from an external perspective but are we free inside of ourselves? Freeing yourself from the confines of your mind doesn't only give you a sense of freedom but it's extremely powerful. The kind of quiet power that will uplift you and help you get through every storm and ultimately making you stand tall on your on two feet. That's what we'll be exploring today. Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! Episode starts at 2:15 min GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW  by learning about -What is inner freedom; Inner freedom the only true form of ultimate liberation?;Inner saboteur: self criticism, negative thoughts, self doubt, procrastination;The influence of the subconscious mind;Self-awareness; Victim mentality;Dismantling our fears;Steps to personal freedom;And more ...CONNECT WITH ME About me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comSay hi on the podcast instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

Let's talk about a specific modern reality that most of the time hinders our best self. Yes, I'm talking about the one and only star of capitalism (right after money): performance productivity! The one which is often the cause of depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and many more mental and physical health issues. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being busy but here I'm talking about the kind of busi-ness that becomes extremely unhealthy yet the kind that is praised by our society. The one that not only gets you stuck in the rat race but also deters your mental health. Why is productivity even a core value we have as a society? Who truly does benefit from it? When men function on a 24-H cycle, and women 28-Day cycle. Glorified performance productivity is what I want to talk about today. Why as humans, especially the millennial generation, are we crippled with fears that lead us to incarnate a version of ourselves that is far from the reality we want to create and which messes with our mental health?Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! Episode starts at 1:30 min GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW  by learning about -What is glorified performance productivity; The pressure of constantly doing;Distractions vs being present;Overwhelm and its link with depression-anxiety;Self-awareness and mindful as mental health saviors; The had truth of taking responsibility for our mental state;Dismantling your fears;Time vs. schedule;And more ...CONNECT WITH ME About me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comSay hi on the podcast instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

February the month referred as the “month of love”. This specific date … celebrations in general, can be seen as a good reminder to keep on putting out intentional efforts throughout the whole year towards that something that you're celebrating on that day, to keep that energy all year around. Today, I'll be touching on a subject very dear to me that I'd like to show more love for - even if I haven't been vocal about it on here yet. That's why I wanted to do an episode on showing love and affection to our dear planet.  I see the month of love as a good way to start or restart being extremely appreciative of our Earth and be more mindful of our individual impact on it, making sure that we - as lucky humans- are taking care of our home. To help me doing that today, I invited sustainability educator Meg Koch who is empowering others to create impact through her tailored practical and underwhelming approach to green living.Even if we all are responsible for doing our part, for the sole purpose of easing our way to the matter at hand, today we'll stick to individual impact not expanding about the role and responsibility of companies and governments when it comes to the climate crisis.Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW by learning about -The importance of living on a "healthy" planet;the realities were are currently facing because of our current mindless practices;the definition and goal of sustainable living;sustainable living as the only/main solution?the everyday sustainable choices we can make;growing our impact through individual action; integrating sustainability into our lifestyle while conveniently keeping on enjoying comfort;And more ...CONNECT WITH Meg Koch Website: www.discoveryourshadeofgreen.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/discoveryourshadeofgreenWITH ME About me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comSay hi on the podcast instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

I did promise you a last episode on Ayurveda: aligning your soul with Ayurveda to complete the Ayurveda mind-body-soul series. I decided to switch it up by simply taking this Ayurvedic concept of following your Dharma aka your soul purpose in this life and yet still keep my promise. What a better way to start off 2022 than assessing our purpose? Do you think we all have a role to play in our lives? Dharma is a Sanskrit term used in Ayurveda that is generally translated as “life purpose”. Indeed, Ayurvedic philosophy considers that we all have a particular role to play on Earth: a "righteous goal" that will guide our actions and the course of our lives. This is a common thread that acts as a compass in all the situations we encounter. Our Dharma thus becomes like a guiding star to follow, even when darkness surrounds us.Let's dive deeper into the notion of life purpose in a more practical way. Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW  by learning about -Dharma in the Ayurveda philosophy; Soul/Life purpose: what's the big deal? ;Seeking vs Observing your life purpose;Practical tools to guide your life purpose quest ; Cause and effect of living in our path;Dismantling your fears;And more ...CONNECT WITH ME About me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comSay hi on the podcast instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

I usually like taking the last week of December as a good time to take a breath and reflect on the last 12 months, step back, slow down to mindfully close this chapter before jumping into the new year. You perhaps feel the same at this time. Inspired to look back, contemplate and evaluate what has been going on in your life, your experiences, challenges, choices, commitments and desires, and now reassessing if they're still aligned with your path, your growth or if the cycle is done and there's nothing else to do other than to be grateful, detach, release and let them go.In this episode, I'm doing just that.

As Jung wrote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Just like mentioned in the previous episode "Shadow self - Transmuting the unconscious into the conscious" shadow work is about bringing onto the forefront of our mind what has been hidden for the longest time with the aim of being free from hinderances and become whole again to live up to your true nature and potential.Shadow work definitely helps remove any impediments from the relationship you have with others, yes - but more importantly the relationship you have with yourself. Living authentically, is about showing up to the world as the whole you with the positive and negative traits. To get there, you cannot be afraid of self exploring certain aspects of yourself.Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW  by learning about -Finding inner balance through wholeness;Knowing yourself;The shadow as a part of our self-love journey; Reconciliation with all parts of yourself;Practical steps to your freedom quest by exploring your darkness;And more ...CONNECT WITH ME About me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comSay hi on the podcast instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

Taking a little break from the Ayurveda series before the last episode of it and surfing back onto the solo rant wave.  So here I am talking my thoughts out loud to y'all - once again! My today's inner reflection is about the art of letting go. Something that we all need some more practice in, I believe. We get so attached to things, to people, to places, even unhealthy habits that it often becomes detrimental to our mental health or just our overall wellbeing. That probably stems from the scarcity mentality we often carry on from a very young age or merely the over-consumption era we're in but either way it has to go! With Mercury retrograde and World mental health day around the corner, I felt like it was time to reflect and practice some non-attachment, letting go of the unnecessary before diving into the next cycle. I'll share with you what I've learned or actually re-learned being faced with similar situations that I've been confronted to in the past but now practicing another approach. Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW  by learning about -Letting go of material things vs. manifestations' desires;Non-attachment;Societal construct of success; The inner work to process cutting emotional cording;And more ...CONNECT WITH ME About me and my brand strategy & design consultancy agency for companies and organizations driven by improving the world.Website: www.wahayu.comSay hi on the podcast instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.

As I like experimenting with different things, I felt that it was time for me to give  Ayurveda a try. Since the beginning of this year, I've been incorporating few Ayurveda practices here and there. I wanted to take you on my discovery journey of this ancient holistic medicine. Ayurveda medicine is so many things in one. I've got so many questions. Since Ayurveda is all about aligning our body, mind & soul, I'm going to follow this pattern, and make a three part series with three Ayurveda experts. We'll start with the body, follow up with the mind and wrap up with the soul. For part one "Aligning your mind with Ayurveda", I invited Dr. Sheetal Ajmani, Ayurveda expert, Pediatric physician, Yoga teacher, and mindfulness advocate.

In this world there is a lot of miscommunication. Words matter, they’re important and powerful. Like we discussed in the last episode about the subconscious, words are crucial when you talk to yourself. But what about using clear and effective communication that kindly expresses your thoughts, needs, and feelings to others too? What's our why when communicating? How does our communication style impact our relationships ? Are we anchoring in consciousness when it comes to communicating with our loved ones and others? We’re not all created equal when it comes to communication. We’re all gifted differently but one thing that’s for sure is that communicating consciously is a learnable skill. In this episode, I discuss with Taryn Newton-Gill - women empowerment coach, Attachment Style  expert, and founder of Truer Love the coaching practice that guides you to healthy love and relationships - about the influence of this fascinating Attachment Style theory on our ability to communicate consciously which forges our approach to human relationships. In this conversation, we'll uncover the tools and process that make us move from unconscious communication - which  leads to may lead to conflicts or misunderstandings - to conscious communication which shows love, care, and respect. Understanding what's hidden from the view brings more awareness which makes you understand why you interact a certain way and also helps you to improve yourself and bring harmony around you. If you want more healthy relationships in your life, this episode is for you! Listen up to this gem!GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW by learning - IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:The meaning of Conscious CommunicationThe impact of triggers on Conscious CommunicationThe influence of Attachment Style theory on our way of communicatingIs silent communication still communication? The importance of language shifts for relationships wellbeingTaking responsibility of our feelingsConscious Communication vs Effective CommunicationAnd much more …CONNECT WITH TARYNWebsite: www.truerlove.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/_truerlove_ WITH ME Website: www.wahayu.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials. PROFIT from the mentions:Conscious Communication mini-course: www.truerlove.com/offerings-truerloveAttachment Style quiz: https://bit.ly/32TGw74Get a free "love coaching" consult: www.truerlove.com/love-coachingGuided meditation: https://bit.ly/2QGXmUjREAD the full blog post here: www.wahayu.com/blog -SUPPORT this self-produced podcastLeave a reviewSubscribe and Share Donate here Thank you!SONG CREDITS"Innocence" - by my friend Tamaraebi - Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/ConsciousMatters)Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/ConsciousMatters)

"To shift your life in a desired direction, you must powerfully shift your subconscious." - Kevin L. Mitchell author. The famous philosopher, Sigmund Freund, in the 19th century, actually ranked the 3 states of mind: the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the unconscious mind. Today we'll focus on the 2nd one: the subconscious mind. If you have been a regular listener, you know how passionately intrigued by the power of the mind, I am. Looking into neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy materials, I came to understand ha one of the most powerful inner forces of human behavior is the subconscious. Numerous cognitive neuroscientists have conducted studies revealing that 95 percent of our brain activity is unconscious, in other words beyond our conscious awareness. What if we could understand the subconscious to harness its power to our advantage, and consciously design the life we want to live? I invited transformational therapist, hypnotherapist, and Neuro-Linguistics Programming (NLP) Practitioner, Kameka Smith to discuss about the subconscious mind through transformational therapy. GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW by learning - IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:The importance of the subconscious mindTapping into the subconsious during hypnosis and meditative statesJournaling and rerewriting our thought pattern(s)The correlation between the Law of attraction, manifestation, and the subconsciousUX design Rebranding yourself after a transformationThe collective subconsciousAnd much more …CONNECT WITH KAMEKAhttps://www.kamekaism.comhttps://instagram.com/kamekaismWITH ME Website: www.wahayu.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials. PROFIT from the mentionsMarisa Peer guided meditation(s) “I am enough”:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWcHna_Pla5dOGjP1KUmoxohjvb8ZGViBPositive affirmations app “I AM”: https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/i-am-daily-affirmations/id87465691READ the full blog post here:Https:// www.wahayu.com/blog -SUPPORT this self-produced podcastLeave a reviewSubscribe and Share Donate here Thank you!SONG CREDITS"Innocence" - by my friend Tamaraebi - Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/ConsciousMatters)

It's Valentine's day! Yep, we're back at it again and while I love celebrations, to me there is no better way to celebrate love than starting with self-love. I did an episode on self-love last year, go check it out if you missed it. So to follow up, I now want to focus on self-care. We should love and care for ourselves everyday but I see Valentine’s day as a reminder of that in case we’ve been caught up in our everyday life, loosing our love and care for ourselves in the process. But the thing is ... that, even if we all know that self-care is beneficial, it is still quite broad. That's why getting a little bit of help gaining clarity in the framework of how your energy works can not only be a great boost to your self-care but can also be utterly transformative. Who doesn't want that? Today, we'll look at self-care through the Human Design lense with Human Design expert Allison Unruh from Color-Shift. GROW by learning - IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT: What is Human Design?Using a Human Design perspective for self-love/care.How can Human Design nourish our soul/own self-care?Self-care advice for each of the five human design types to implement into their own self-care toolkit. Human Design and the flow of male and female energy influencing self-care practices of the different types.Human Design as a tool to influence your wellness biz branding.Simple daily habits to be and act more conscious(ly) that would apply to all of the Human Design types.And so much more …DRAW your Human Design chart at mybodygraph.comCONNECT WITH AllisonWebsite: www.color-shift.comInstagram: @_color_shift_CONNECT WITH MeWebsite: www.wahayu.comInstagram: @conscious.mattersShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.
