The Infinite Potential of Being Human

I'm delighted to offer you an interview with a beautiful multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide, East Forest. He has just released "Music for Mushrooms," a feature-length narrative documentary showcasing the transformative power of psychedelics, music, and community. Since 2008, East Forest's “lush” (Rolling Stone) and “blissful” (NPR) music has blended ambient, neoclassical, electronic, and avant-pop to explore sound as a tool for inner journeys and consciousness expansion.  East Forest's  approach promotes non-religious, accessible spirituality. He's a faculty member at the Esalen Institute and has collaborated with institutions across social justice, mental health, science, music, and creative fields, including Google, Johns Hopkins, UCSF, Stanford, and TED. In this episode, we discuss the power of music and mushrooms in the process of maturation and evolving as human beings. We also invite you to sign up and watch “Music for Mushrooms” online on December 12th, as well as to listen to the” Official Documentary Soundtrack” on your favorite streaming platform.  What is Covered:  - East Forest's background as an artist and consciousness explorer - Building spiritual resilience at the time of collapse and learning to sit with uncomfort - The story behind the creation of the “Music for Mushrooms” documentary - The transformational power of music as a bridge to higher consciousness space - Why the potential of music has been overlooked today when it's all-present everywhere - East Forests relationship with psychedelics and what he has learned from it - Being in the driver's seat as opposed to surrendering to the flow of life - When and where you can see “Music for Mushrooms”  Resources:  - Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: ⁠https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/⁠ - Learn more about the “Music for Mushrooms” documentary https://musicformushrooms.com   - Watch the “Music For Mushrooms” Trailer - https://youtu.be/8zC-FwDBdBQ  - Follow East Forest on IG: http://instagram.com/eastforest  - Follow East Forest on YT: http://www.youtube.com/eastforestmusic - Listen to East Forest's music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0okmfBroVgFuvvljnUbqPW?si=GmLomL_ZQTGtCSXYBw4Dzw - Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/  - Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/  - Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation  - Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender 

Currently, I'm going through a major transition in life. My old world is in the process of dissolving and completing, while simultaneously birthing the new one. In this phase of in-between, we are still with one foot in the old world that no longer fits, and one foot in the new world and the future. The experience is uncomfortable and awkward, but it is one that all of us have to go through multiple times during our lifetime. So in this episode, I'm going to unpack a little this state of in-between, why it is necessary in order to create a new future, what learning and awareness we can gain from it, and how we can get closer to honesty and alignment with the truth of our heart. What is Covered: -The transition that is currently happening in my life-Why the in-between phase is the only way to create new reality-The necessary work of completion of the old before we fully step into the new-Why is it that we don't tell ourselves the truth? -The power of the survival mind and why we perceive freedom as threatening-Understanding the heart as the home to truth-The process of maturing from the original heartbreak to returning to the heart-A journaling exercise to explore your untold truths Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

The quality of communication is a fundamentally important piece to having nourishing, safe, conscious and present relationships. Whether that is in love, in friendships, with family members, co-workers or teachers, the quality of our relationships is what brings us the most fulfilment in life.But why is it that we struggle so much with relationships? And why is communication the number one problem in failing relationships, a piece that breaks down trust, intimacy and connection? Let's dedicate this episode to the power of communication. We're going to dive deep into conscious listening, conscious speaking, and how we can get better at it to allow ourselves to experience more love, more compassion, connection and peace in our relationships. What is Covered: -What we are doing when we are communicating-The most common problems we experience in our relationships-Why most people have no idea how to listen to another person-How our past experiences shape what we hear when we're listening-What conscious, present listening is-What makes us say what we say when we are speaking-A journaling exercise to help you bring more consciousness to your listening and speaking patterns Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

I cannot tell you how many people say to me: “I'm ready for divine love. Why do I keep ending up in relationships that are disappointing, with people who betray me, are narcissists, don't see me, where I feel unloved and unwanted? Why do I keep repeating the same old stuff no matter what I do, when I'm so ready for my divine love?”And my answer to that declaration is, are you REALLY ready? In this episode, we're going to dive into the source of patterns that keep repeating in our relationships. And we're going to learn why taking 100% responsibility for our complaints is the only way that will bring us closer to the love we seek. What is Covered: -Recognising the familiar repeating complaints in our relationships-Recognising the common element of all the complaints-Why we so often identify with our suffering and pain-What happens when we take 100% responsibility for our repeating patterns-How to overcome the fear of detaching from our patterns-Journaling prompts to help you work through your relationship patterns Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Today, I'm going to share with you all about my journey with my body transformation. Since October last year to today, I have lost almost 40 pounds, and I am only 5'3”, so that's a lot of weight that I was carrying as a very small Asian woman. Although I have worked really intentionally to get here, I've hesitated to share this story. One of the reasons is because I don't want to feed any part of the human psyche that obsesses with external perfection, believing that if we achieve it, then we'll finally be free of the unworthiness that we feel. I also don't want to say that the solution to that is to just put on loads of weight and tell ourselves that we're still lovable and worthwhile, and that we don't need to shape ourselves. I actually want to go way deeper into this story and share, from an ontological context, how and why I got overweight in the first place, and what kind of transformation has taken place in order to release that weight and everything that I carried with it. What is Covered: -How I got 40 pounds overweight-The connection between our external and internal shape-What kind of emotional weight our external weight may be hiding-Why my weight persisted even though I ate healthy and exercised regularly-The events that led me onto the journey of my body transformation-The moment when the weight actually started dropping off my body-How releasing the weight created more space for love and light to enter my BodyMind Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

The level of chaos on our planet right now is extreme. There are intense levels of chaos happening between countries, between political parties, between religions, between parents and their children. And let's not forget the chaos that is happening inside our own selves. So chaos is very prevalent, but is somehow eradicating it from our lives the only way we can have peace? Or if we are addicted to chaos, can we feel alive at all without it? In this episode, I want to talk about how we can transcend our current old paradigm of relationship to chaos, so that we don't have to live a life free of chaos, but that we can be with chaos and be free. What is Covered: -Why chaos is perceived as a threat to our survival-Examples of childhood experiences that can affect our relationship to chaos-Why we are not equipped to have an empowered relationship to chaos-Why chaos on our planet is increasing -How the Earth's electromagnetic field affects what is happening internally in our BodyMind-How we can transcend the increasing chaos externally and internally Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Today, we're going to dive into identity politics. And if you are in the US, you cannot deny that it is happening everywhere in the political landscape. But what I want to do is blow up that whole system altogether and look at what's keeping us trapped in the same familiar form of suffering no matter what side we choose. Currently on our planet, the different worldviews that we identify with are so rampant in the battles we are fighting against each other. In fact, we are currently in a war - the war on the human mind. What's winning that war is not the “right” viewpoint, but the fact that we as a species don't realise that we are trapped in a particular set of blindspots. So that's what I'm going to unpack in today's episode, and invite you to feel more compassion for yourself and someone else who is of a different self-worldview than you. What is Covered: -The essence of identity politics and why they keep us trapped-Is there the “right” belief and the “right” viewpoint?-Why nothing seems to be changing no matter which worldview we choose-The blindspots that keep us trapped in the paradox of identity politics-Paul Levy's teachings in “The Quantum Revelation” -What self-worldview is and why we can't see our own context-How we can be manipulated if we are not conscious of identity mechanisms-Why we feel so threatened when our worldview is challenged-How we can start gaining more consciousness, more power and cultivate more compassion towards different self-worldviews Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-“The Quantum Revelation”, a book by Paul Levy https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Revelation-Radical-Synthesis-Spirituality/dp/1590794486 -Episode 017 What Creates Reality?

When we are experiencing challenges in our lives, whether it's with health, or relationships, or just what is true for us, one thing to consider is asking ourselves where we can be responsible. When we are stuck in pain and suffering, are we blaming someone else for our experience, or are we ready to learn and grow and mature from it? Because the hard part to understand is that we actually get to choose how our reality appears to us. In this episode, we're going to first dive into this attachment to suffering, and explore what we are magnetising and emanating right now. We're going to look into the things that keep repeating in our lives, bringing consciousness to what we are actually emanating, in order to arrive at what we want to be emanating. What is Covered: -Why we tend to be so addicted to pain and suffering-The split way of being and our oscillating between opposing desires-How to be honest with ourselves without blame, shame and guilt -How the world that we are seeing is created moment by moment -Understanding emanation and what you are emanating right now-Journaling exercise: what do you want to be emanating?

Whether they are running their own business or working in a company, one of the hardest pieces that I see people struggling with is their relationship to their work. So, we either love our job, but we burn out doing it. Or we feel pressured in it - we love it, but it also makes us feel trapped. Or we work in jobs where we feel unfulfilled, or we find ourselves repeating the same patterns in jobs, no matter how many times we change jobs or change industries, or change our behaviours when it comes to running our own businesses. It seems like the way that we're in relationship with business and work has a familiarity to how we are in relationship with ourselves. So I want to use this episode to dive into our relationship with business and work from an ontological context. What is Covered: -The connection between the way we are in our work and our original family dynamic-Why we seem to always end up in the same job and the same team regardless of the company or the industry-How our mind as a pattern recognition device acts in work environment-Why we can't recognise our parents in our bosses and coworkers -How to begin solving the repeating work patterns -Journaling question: what is your biggest struggle in work at this moment? How familiar is that to your original family dynamics?

Today I have one of my favourite humans, and by far one of the most creative people I've ever met on the podcast. Nicholas Onken is known as the photographer of some of the world's most highly acclaimed entrepreneurs like Jay Shetty, Lewis Howes, Gabby Bernstein and more. Nick is a Creative Alchemist whose professional and commercial repertoire has no template or limits. His portfolio of photographed personalities includes Justin Bieber, Usher, Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba, and Tony Robbins, to name a few. He has been commissioned by top-tier brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and publishers such as Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller, and Marie Claire. He designs incredible hats that are worn by artists, thought leaders and creatives. Identity Alchemy, a concept coined by Nick, is a powerful mix of personal growth and personal branding. In this episode, we talk about Nick's inspiring personal journey, the concept of aesthetic intelligence, our upcoming joint mastermind, and why we need to take ownership of both our internal and external expression to create the impact and influence that we desire in the world. What is Covered: -How I met Nick and his incredible background story-The journey of Nick's breaking free from the strict religious conditioning he was brought up with-How he started photographing and made it big as a photographer-What happened next and why Nick's identity as a photographer became unsustainable-What Identity Alchemy is-What aesthetic intelligence is-My own experience of working with Nick and transforming my personal brand-How the external expression of a brand impact the human brain and decision-making-Nick's journaling prompts to explore what you want to emanate to the world Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Follow Nick Onken at https://www.instagram.com/nickonken/ -Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

If you've been in the world of self-development or if you're new to it, you would have heard the term boundaries, and why they are important. But today I want to take the conversation around boundaries a little deeper. I want to create a distinction of what boundaries actually are, what happens when we set them, where we start with setting them, what happens when we don't set them, and why they are a true act of love and a gateway to compassion. What is Covered: -What boundaries are and how they create clarity-Boundaries and self-awareness-How to honour and take action on our boundaries-Why we don't set boundaries and what happens then-How resentment and anger can lead us to recognise where we need to set boundaries -Why setting clear boundaries is an act of love-How strong boundaries can make us more compassionate Resources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Surrender and let go - that's what we hear all the time nowadays. But how do we fully surrender? What does it even mean to surrender? And why is that such a profound and important piece of our ability to outgrow, mature and heal? I feel like my whole life and my personal journey of maturation has been dedicated to asking this question, how to surrender. I even wrote a book about this subject. So in this episode, I'm going to dive deep into the topic of surrendering, why it is important and how we can start going through this process. What is Covered: -The story of how I wrote a book about surrender-My first experience with what it means to fully surrender-The definition of full surrender -Consciousness and alignment in surrender -How to loosen the grip of survival mechanisms and why surrender is a counterintuitive act-Two choices that we have each time we come to a crossroad in life-A journaling exercise to help you bring awareness to the things you're holding on to that may no longer serve you Resources:-Check out Nicky's book "Surrender" https://nickyclinch.com/book/ -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

If you feel like you're too fat, too skinny, too dumb, too smart, whatever it is, do you notice that there is always the other that is the right one? Or when you're clinging on to your reality and your perception being the right way, that there is always ‘the other' that is the wrong way?This episode focuses on the mentality of ‘the other, and the right and wrong mentality which is inherent on our planet. This mentality causes enormous pain in relationships, in families, between friends, between bosses and employees, as well as between different sections of society and different countries. When there is a “someone”, there is always “the other”. You cannot have one without the other. So in this episode, we're going to start dissolving “the other” mentality and point the way of healing the split and coming home to the state of wholeness. What is Covered: -The construct of ‘the other' and how it creates horrific violence on our planet-Why this construct is an unsolvable vicious circle-The stages of human development and how the split between “me” and “the other” is created-The pain and consequences of “the other” mentality-How to start resolving this right and wrong mentality Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Today's episode is about the distinction between fantasy and creation. We will dive into what fantasy is so that we can start to see it with new awareness, because awareness is what heals and allows the process of maturation to take place. Fantasy feeds from the human condition. The current paradigm in the world that we're in also feeds our fantasy in a continuous vicious cycle. Part of what is keeping us all stuck in a state of suffering is that hopefulness of fantasy, that one day when we get somewhere, then we will finally be free from whatever we're struggling with right now. But the problem is that it never really happens. So today we'll explore why that is and how we can start turning fantasy into creation. What is Covered: -Why fantasy is like a drug-Getting high on fantasy vs being empowered in the present-Why so many relationships are founded in fantasy-Fantasy as a reaction to the past -The hopefulness of fantasy vs creating in the present moment-What is the alternative to fantasy-What is creation and how to create the future -Journaling exercise to explore your fantasies Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Episode 017 What Creates Reality?

Are you one of those people that has watched yourself sabotage something that you know you want, and yet something in you is blocking it or even actively pushing it away? Why is it that when you finally receive the love, the nourishment, the care, the fulfilment, the success, the money, the attention, the connection that you want, having it is so threatening that before you know it, you're finding whatever way you can find to get rid of it? It doesn't make any logical sense to reject a beautiful opportunity, but you still say no. And you're watching yourself and you know what you're doing, but you can't stop it. Why is sabotage so common in human beings, and why is it a cause of so much of our pain and suffering? And what could possibly be a solution to that? This is what we're going to dive into in this episode. What is Covered: -How we normalise the pattern of sabotage in our lives-Why sabotage is a blind spot and why we can't stop it-Survival vs. living and why we remain stuck in survival-Looking at the pain and shame of sabotage from an ontological perspective-What's the alternative to sabotage-Are you living to win or are you living to not lose?

I'm sure that this is not the first time you are hearing the word vulnerability. But most of the time, I don't think many of us know what it even really means, and how powerful and sacred vulnerability is. Vulnerability is not just an emotion or a state of being, it is actually a gateway, a doorway into being able to connect with each other deeper. It is a space within the heart, within the space of consciousness and truth of human beings that allows us to connect universally with each other, with ourselves and with the present moment - all of which I believe is a universal longing and want. So how do we go from the head into the heart to experience the state of sacred vulnerability? What is Covered: -Connection and disconnection - our greatest wants and greatest regrets -Why vulnerability is the only gateway to experience deeper connection with others-Original heartbreak and why everything begins and ends with the heart-How sitting with the heart's ache enables us to be more present-Journaling prompt for exploring your vulnerability Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

This week's topic is not an easy one. First, because it's a significant blindspot to how we experience reality itself, how we experience ourselves and each other. And second, because it's the root to some of our greatest attachments in survival, so it may bring up a lot of activation for you. So we're talking about the greatest human addiction of all - the human story. We human beings are storytelling animals, and the mind itself is a storytelling mechanism. These stories not only define how we think and know of ourselves, but they literally colour and give us our entire experience of our reality, the stories of our family, of our ancestors, of our countries, of love. So let's unpack this great human drug that are the stories that run us. What is Covered: -Why we need stories and how they are connected to our survival-How our attachment to stories block our longing for connection with others-Whose stories are running us and how we absorb them -Identification with stories and the illusion of identity-The alternative to holding on the stories and why we avoid it-The stories of countries and how they create our shared reality-Why we can compare stories to drugs-How we can begin to come out of this blindspot Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

This week, I want to dive deeper into blindspots and explore how blindspots actually blind us. I'll talk about how blindspots work and how they colour the appearing reality that we get. And then I'll discuss why that is such a significant dilemma to the human species, and why we are stuck in our blindspots. In previous episodes, I talked about what blinspots are - a way of seeing or a context from where we are seeing, that colours how we see and that we don't even know that we don't know that we don't know! So we don't know we have a blindspot until the very moment the blindspot reveals itself. So how do we become conscious of our blindspots and how do they stop blinding us? What is Covered: -Why blindspots are so powerful in colouring our reality-How we can perceive and dissolve our blindspots-Jean Piaget and his research of blindspots in child brain development-Blindspots that are consistent to the entire human species-Why we keep repeating the same patterns and cycles-How blindspots work in our perception of reality-Why blindspots are such a big dilemma for the whole world-How a different and more mature world can look like Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Ep 02 The Body, the Mind and the Identity https://player.captivate.fm/episode/d09b2639-ae85-42c8-a892-aa9dc4629dc8 -Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

This week's topic is on curiosity, which I believe is the cure to fear. But we cannot talk about curiosity without first speaking about fear. Fear is the number one piece that keeps us human beings stuck in survival. It's the catalyst, the food to our survival mechanisms, and the suffering at the root of the human condition. Fear is like addiction. Survival cannot survive without fear. It is the human experience that keeps people from really living their life. So how do we go beyond fear, and what is the alternative to the paradigm of fear? In this episode, we're going to talk about this alternative. What is Covered: -Why fear is much more than just a feeling and why it keeps us stuck-The connection between fear and the function of the human mind-How perceived death can mean different things - rejection, betrayal, humiliation-How fear leads to disconnection from living our lives-Why curiosity is so counterintuitive to human mind-How to engage in the process of curiosity and live from the paradigm of curiosity-Why curiosity is the cure to fear Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Episode 017: What Creates Reality?

We are opening a competition to celebrate the entering into a new phase of this show! In order to participate and win a valuable prize, you have to listen to all the episodes this week. Stay tuned to get all the information! Today, I am speaking about living and creating in flow. Flow is a big topic nowadays, but it's often presented as something that we can get outside of ourselves. In fact, flow is a state of being, and a paradigm from which we are coming from and creating from. It's not something to hold onto. It's not an object that we can find somewhere, that will somehow solve the dissatisfaction, pain and emptiness that we are currently in. So how do we start to experience more flow, and learn to live and create in flow? What is Covered: -Why we remain stuck or get stuck even deeper by searching for flow-Flow as a natural state of being-Why the function of our mind is the complete antithesis to flow-How to access and experience flow-Unexpected life experiences that can help us understand flow better-How to uncover our points of resistance to flow Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Episode 0002 The Body, the Mind and the Identity https://player.captivate.fm/episode/d09b2639-ae85-42c8-a892-aa9dc4629dc8 -Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

This week we're diving into emotional bleeding or emotional dumping versus emotional maturity, and the distinction between the two. Emotional bleeding or dumping is rampant, if not even supported, and sometimes even celebrated in our society and social media culture today. We live in a public culture where there's an opportunity to instantly be exposed and expressed. We are teaching the younger generations that being an emotional bleeder with no boundaries, no center, no ability to hold themselves and communicate in mature emotional ways, is normal. And it's a toxic culture, causing a devastating impact to the person themselves who are stuck in the pattern, as well as so much pain to the people who are on the receiving end of emotional dumping. So in this episode, we're going to talk about how to recognise and understand emotional dumping, and how to make steps from it towards emotional maturity. What is Covered: -What emotional bleeding or dumping is and the root of it-How emotional dumping shows up in relationships-Why emotional dumping is so damaging to all sides involved-The hunger that drives this behaviour and why it can't be satisfied-Why emotional bleeding sometimes hides behind hyper-independence-Emotional bleeding, narcissism and gaslighting-How society feeds and celebrates emotional dumping-What emotional maturity is and how we can be mum and dad to our own selves-How emotional maturity shows in relationships -How to approach an emotional bleeder and set clear boundaries Resources: -Join my FREE 1-hour masterclass 'Gateway to Wealth: Discover the Secrets Of Universal Wealth With The BodyMind Maturation Method™' on 15th May at 7.30pm BST / 2.30pm EDT: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/gatewaytowealthmasterclass/-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Episode 034 Healing the Mother Wound https://player.captivate.fm/episode/73727d8f-3fd5-4bf1-98ac-6f1e15e6225a-Episode 035 Healing the Father Wound https://player.captivate.fm/episode/2cd6bbed-99ab-4147-b0ad-07348cd20c4e -Episode 021 Trust Vs.

Last week, I spoke about healing the Mother wound and the impact that our relationship with Mother has on our sense of self, on our relationship with our own bodies, with the planet, with intimacy and with each other. This week, I am going to dive into healing the Father wound, the masculine side of our family field. We always have some kind of relationship with Father. Even if Father is absent, if Father was never there, we have a relationship with him, and it manifests in how we get a sense of ourselves. Because it's really important and powerful to gain more consciousness on what we absorbed and inherited from our family field, from these two mega poles that have shaped who we think we are. The exploration of the Mother and the Father wound is not for our physical parents, even though they also benefit from it. It's for us, for our own peace and freedom, and for our own ability to be authentic and true to who we really are. So let's dive in. What is Covered: -When in childhood we start to develop the relationship with Father-How it's possible to have a relationship with an absent Father-Two ways in which the relationship with Father shows in our life-How an unhealed Father wound shows up in our relationships with the masculine -What areas of our life and identity are affected by the relationship with Father-Why some men try hard to not be their fathers and why it's harmful to them-How to begin the process of healing the Father wound Resources: -034 Healing the Mother Wound https://player.captivate.fm/episode/73727d8f-3fd5-4bf1-98ac-6f1e15e6225a -028 Money, Intimacy and Maturation https://player.captivate.fm/episode/f71bc423-ebba-4f9c-8398-9f40c527a390 -020 Rage: Unpacking and Alchemising Our Rage https://player.captivate.fm/episode/55e5e406-6c1e-48bb-86f6-a5600dc6b275 -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Everything in human life begins with Mother. Mother is the core, the root, the creation, the entry point to our relationship with the 3D world, with body, with self and with being a human being. Our relationship with Mother is the most fundamental relationship that we could ever have at all. Yet I haven't yet met or worked with a single human being that doesn't have some unresolved pain around this topic. So today's episode is on healing the Mother wound - healing our relationship that is incomplete and un-whole with Mother. This is a big and challenging topic, but it is also the gateway to extraordinary healing and our deepest maturation. What is Covered: -Why it's essential to complete our relationship with Mother -How our relationship with Mother affects our sense of being in this world-The impact of Mother on our sense of embodiment and the relationship to our physical body and the planet-The difference between “mother” and “Mother”-How our unresolved Mother wound manifests in our other relationships-Gaining more power, freedom and consciousness through healing the Mother wound-Journaling exercise to explore your relationship with mother Resources: -016 The Power of Completion https://player.captivate.fm/episode/1c76f795-dd65-4076-bcdc-6bebfdd264dd -003 The Vicious Circle of Human Condition https://player.captivate.fm/episode/8e8ad72d-35e6-43de-ba91-b2ae583b097a -008 Radical Ownership and Responsibility https://player.captivate.fm/episode/f7178d89-ecdb-42ab-98ed-b20900df1769 -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Burnout is just rampant on our planet today. Shockingly, the current statistics for burnout show that the biggest percentage of the population suffering from this are the youngest generation, the Gen Zs. Burnout is a huge issue in society and it is also increasingly correlated with depression. Why is it, when there is more content than ever before in history, offering the answers to our problems such as anxiety and depression, that those problems are actually getting worse? It doesn't logically make sense, but it's happening. So in this episode, I want to explore what burnout actually is, the blind spots that are driving the roots to burnout, and what is happening to our younger generations.What is Covered: -The prevalence of burnout in today's world -What kind of behaviour burnout is-The roots of burnout -Childhood experiences that can lead to a sense of unsafety and dissatisfaction-Looking at burnout from an ontological perspective-How to start changing how you see yourself and your identity-What problem are you trying to solve by burning out?

This week I want to focus on the BodyMind experience of confusion. Confusion is when you really don't know something, but your mind is telling you that you should.So why do we freeze from this experience that grips us? What is the root to this pattern? How may it be shaping who you think you are as your identity and your behaviour? And how do you begin to outgrow and become free of it? In this episode, I'm going to dive into this common human experience, how it's connected with your childhood and past trauma, and how you can gain power over confusion. What is Covered: -What happens in your BodyMind when you are gripped by confusion-How confusion drives your behaviour and impacts your life-The power of confusion vs. the power of being with confusion -How children experience the world and how confusion gets created in childhood-How to start overcoming confusion and allowing yourself to now know-A journaling exercise to bring more consciousness into the experience of confusionResources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/ -Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Why is it that when we change our partners, we end up somehow with the same partner in a different outfit? Why is it, that even when we've done a lot of work on ourselves, it does not seem to be enough to create a fundamental shift in how we experience love, intimacy, and ourselves in a relationship? It seems like all the understanding of our childhood trauma and our relational patterns, all the information about attachment theories and human design that we have is not giving us the peace, freedom and maturity to have a nourishing and fulfilling relationship that we are longing for. So in this episode, we're going to dive into this topic and look more deeply at what it is that is running the show in our relationships, and how we can begin to shift it for good. What is Covered: -Why relationships are so important for our spiritual evolution-What kind of patterns keep repeating in our relationship-How childhood relationships shape adult relationships and identity-Why understanding alone is not sufficient to create fundamental shifts in our relationships-The paradox of trying to solve past problems in current relationships-How to take ownership of relationship patterns in order to begin to shift them-Why we need to learn to be together in relationships and in the society as a whole-A journaling exercise to examine how you experience yourself in a relationship Resources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Episode 18 What Shapes Our Relationship with Intimacy? https://player.captivate.fm/episode/08ea66b9-6013-46a1-a8d2-33d859558f97 -Episode 019 What is a Relationship? https://player.captivate.fm/episode/760a96e3-b6b3-4540-ad7a-8ceb5b271574 -Episode 28 Money, Intimacy and Maturation https://player.captivate.fm/episode/f71bc423-ebba-4f9c-8398-9f40c527a390 -Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Why is it that we sabotage ourselves in our lives, even though we know what's better for us?Unfortunately, most of us are stuck in a vicious cycle of self-sabotage. The more we go for what we really want, the more the mind activates survival mechanisms that prevent us from being successful. In this episode, I'll talk about that difference between survival and living, and I'll also share why people will always have something that's preventing them from receiving the things they long for. What You'll Learn:-What is self-sabotage?-Why we sabotage ourselves-The difference between survival and living -The childhood trauma that's keeping you stuck-What gives you the perception of who you are-Why survival has nothing to do with living-How to start loving your life-The root cause of the sabotaging behaviour that's keeping you stuck-Understand that the human mind is not personal-How to shift the relationship you have with self-sabotage-Ways to bring consciousness to your self-sabotaging behaviour Resources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Are you thinking or are you “being thought”?You may be surprised to learn that you are not actually thinking; you're "thoughting". You're being thought by the past. So, does that mean we cannot change our thoughts? Well, we cannot change them unless we outgrow the one that is having those thoughts. In this episode I'll break down the complex topic about changing our thoughts. I'll share why it's almost impossible to stop thinking, what the greatest human addiction of all is, and how the temporary moments of reprieve are keeping you stuck. What You'll Learn:-Can you really change your thoughts?-The greatest human addiction of all-Why the temporary moments of reprieve are not good enough-How to enter the domain of true freedom -Why we cannot change our thoughts -The problem with positive thinking-How your thinking creates your reality-Is the little voice in our heads the root of all suffering? -Why it's impossible to think unless you're thinking in the present moment-How to start tracking the thoughts that are continuously repeating in the mind-How to tap into your infinite potential Resources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Most people think that money is the problem. But money in itself is not bad. Money is just a story. We could go and meditate in a cave for the rest of our life, or we can acknowledge that our real contribution on this planet is to play the game of life. And money is part of that game of life. In this episode, I'll discuss how our relationship with money directly mirrors our relationship with intimacy. I'll also cover why you need to start caring about money, how to fix your relationship with power, and ways to play the game of life from a new level of maturity. What You'll Learn:-How our relationships to money and to intimacy are connected -Why money is such a triggering topic-The three topics that activate people the most -What shapes our original relationship with intimacy-The effects of rejection in childhood-Ways to fix your relationship with power-How to uncover the blindspots in your relationship with money -The dos and don'ts of caring about money-How to create the type of impact this world needs you to create -Why having money is not a bad thing-Why you need to outgrow you original relationship to power and intimacy Resources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Psychedelics have become a very popular piece of society and culture today. It wasn't like that at all when I first went to Amazon and started working with ayahuasca. It was almost like an underground secret for the ones seeking something beyond normal. But nowadays, plant medicines are being used by many, and they have become integrated into the surge of self-evolution that is taking place on our planet. In today's episode, I want to dive into an inquiry around psychedelics. In particular, I want to create the distinction of the beautiful marriage between psychedelics and maturation, and why I see it as fundamental to work on both. I'll share how psychadelics gifted me with acceleration of healing and evolution, but I'll also unpack why their popularity is not all good and how they can be misused. What Is Covered: -My story and my experience with psychedelics-Using plant medicine to escape vs. to integrate the change into your life-How maturation and psychedelics can work together powerfully-How plant medicine affects our boydmind and consciousness-Why it's crucial to be guided by a master teacher when working with psychedelics-Different kinds of plant medicine and their characteristics-How to avoid misusing psychedelics in survival ways -The importance of taking responsibility when using such a powerful tool-Why maturation is fundamental to turning lessons from plant medicine into your reality Although I do believe that plant medicines are part of our future, I also believe that we don't need to take them to experience other states of consciousness. So if you are thinking of working with any plant medicines, please do your research first, make sure that who you are choosing to facilitate you has profound levels of experience, and be ready to fully commit to the possibility of changing your reality.

I believe we can agree that we are not doing very well as a species at the moment. In fact, we are suffering so much that self-improvement is becoming a trillion-dollar industry. But the question is, are we getting caught in a journey of endless fixing or are we actually in a process of healing? In this episode, we'll discuss the difference between healing and feeling better. I'll talk about the broken nature of the wellness industry, the ways to mature into a new way of being, and simple strategies you can use to uncover the root of your suffering. What You'll Learn:-The difference between healing and fixing-Why self-improvement has become such a lucrative industry-Reiterating what the paradigm is and what it means for our way of being-Ways to create a paradigm shift from where you see from right now-How healing allows you to mature, evolve and grow-The transformational process of healing vs. the survival nature of fixing-Why it's okay to go back to the beginning and start again-Why the wellness industry is broken in its nature-How to fix the mess and heal the root of your suffering-Why you should not confuse self-improvement with freedomResources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Did you know that every single action you take is first led by an experience moving in the body? You don't just move the cup. Something that moves through your body drives you to move the cup. There is no single action ever taken by a human being that isn't first led by a human experience. Today, I'll be speaking about the alchemy of the human body. I'll break down how all creation happens because of the body, the power of what creates our world, and how your past experiences can be a hindrance or an advantage to your future. What You'll Learn: -Understanding the alchemy of the human body-How we're evolving as a species-The new kind of human being arriving on this planet-Is it true that the body keeps a score? -Why you cannot separate the body and the mind-How to break the chains of generational trauma-How your past is contaminating your present-The difference between knowing and being-Why people keep repeating the same negative patterns-Is the body the biggest hindrance to our spiritual evolution?-How to release and dissolve everything you're carrying in your bodymind Resources:-Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender-The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/-How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett https://www.amazon.com/How-Emotions-Are-Made-audiobook/dp/B01MZJ08US/

Have you noticed how shameful you feel when you don't know something? Knowing has become the next addiction.

Manifestation is very trendy right now. We see a lot of people that are able to manifest, and there's no question that we seem to be a species that has the capability to transform field into matter. You are already creating and generating the world that you've got. But here's the question: are you conscious of who is the one that's actually manifesting?Today's topic is focusing on the power of manifestation, but from a maturation context. I am going to reiterate what maturation is, and then I'll start diving into the process of manifestation. I'll also propose a journaling exercise for you to explore who, actually, runs your world. What You'll Learn: -What maturation is not, and what it is-How manifestation gets confused with power-What power really is and how we can access it -Why it's fundamental to work with maturation if we want to manifest-The pitfalls of manifestation and how to recognise what you really want-Maturation as the process of outgrowing our survival mechanisms-Two questions for a journaling exerciseNext week we're going to dive even deeper into the topic of manifestation, vision, and transforming field into 3D matter.

We live in a world where the word potential is often misused. But the truth is, realising your potential is more than just achieving more things. It's inviting a complete paradigm shift of who you are being.So, what exactly does it mean to "reach your potential?"In today's episode, I'll talk about potential and redefining the relationship that we can have with it.

Almost everybody is in a relationship, yet we don't know how to define one. We live as if we know what a relationship is, and then spend the rest of our lives looking for what we think we want in a partner, not knowing that the purpose of a relationship is not to meet your unmet needs. So what even is a relationship? In this episode, I'll unpack what a relationship is from a deep ontological level, and explain why the best relationships are never picture-perfect fairy tales.What You'll Learn:How to define a relationshipWhat 12 years of being married taught me about relationships What a relationship is NOTThe blindspots of being in a relationship When does a relationship between two people really start?Why your relationship is sufferingHow being in a relationship can be the greatest catalyst for your growth and healingHow to build a healthy, long-lasting relationship The path to unlocking a new level of love and commitmentWhat the greatest act of love is There is no human being in the world that can make you happy Resources: Ep 18 What Shapes our Relationship with IntimacyAccess your free gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/gift-btc/Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

The quality of relationships seem to cause a lot of pain and suffering on the planet right now. Long-lasting, committed, intimate, authentic relationships such as marriages, but also friendships or working relationships seem to be rarer these days. Why is that happening, and what is it that shapes our relationship with intimacy? In this episode, I want to go deep to the root of what drives attraction, behaviour, speech, thought, and even what we see as human beings. Where are we actually seeing from, that gives us our experience of intimacy? If you have struggled to find partners to be in any kind of relationship, or if you are in relationships and are struggling, this episode is for you.

These two questions from the title actually go hand in hand. You cannot have a reality without a paradigm from which reality is appearing from. But who or what creates those? Is it just given to us? There is a consistent human blind spot that the reality that we get is already there; we just happen to have to wake up every day and work at how to live in it. But reality itself is actually not a fixed thing. And in this episode, I've decided to tackle this complex topic, to unpack how the current paradigm and our view of reality came to be, how it's starting to shift for us as the species, and how we can deepen our understanding of this process.What You'll Learn: The way enough collective agreement creates a paradigmWhat is the old paradigm created by science of that timeWho started to challenge the dominant scientific paradigm firstWhy we need to include human consciousness into our relationship with realityHow the fixedness of how reality appears for us becomes destabilisedThe importance of our power to take responsibility for our own realityQuestion 1 - What is it that you are now ready to question?Question 2 - What do you think could be possible if you are really responsible for how reality appears to you as an individual?

When I say completion, I mean the intention, the choice, and the consciousness to bring repeating cycles to a close. Life flows in a cyclical manner and unless it is brought to some form of completion, those cycles will continue to repeat. Today's episode is on the power of completion and wholeness. I'll talk about the four main steps on the journey to completion, what happens in the body-mind when completion takes place, and how to develop a strong ability to outgrow your suffering.

Most of the planet is living in time. Morning, afternoon, evening. Past, present, future. We're either thinking about the future or trying to escape the past. We allow the seconds, the minutes, and the hours to give us the structure of how we live our lives.In this episode, I'll discuss how we can learn to dissolve time, live in the present, and create beyond time and identity. Because creation can only exist in the present moment, and if you already know what you're doing, you're not creating; you're just mechanically repeating things.What You'll Learn:Time and its impact on the human experience How to start creating beyond time and identityThe concept of time that keeps us stuckHow to get a better perspective of your past, present, and futureUnderstanding time as a man-made constructAccessing flow when you're stuck in timeHow your past shapes your presentWays to change your experiential relationship with time Why understanding something is not enough to drive change Resources: Access your free gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/gift-btc/Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Intuition has become a massive buzzword in the world of healing and self-improvement. However, many people still cannot understand things intuitively without needing conscious reasoning. In this episode, I'll talk about intuition and how to differentiate it from mechanical repeating patterns.

What makes you, you? Is it your accomplishments, facial patterns, job title or something intangible like how you respond to the ups and downs of life?Your personality is the unique set of experiences, behaviours, thought patterns and feelings that define you. Although this may change over time, who you truly are remains fairly consistent and is shaped by your past survival mechanisms. In today's episode, I'll dive deep into the topic of personality, what it is, how it shapes who we truly are, and the survival mechanisms that are keeping you stuck.

You're either blaming or learning; you can't have both. Which one do you choose? As a species, we are naturally wired to blame other people or circumstances when things don't go according to plan. However, no good comes from blaming others. You'll benefit more from learning from your mistakes and using those mistakes as teaching moments, not blaming moments.In today's episode, I'll discuss how you can fix your relationship with blame and completely commit to letting go of the blame mindset. I'll also share how the victim mindset is born and how you can learn to stop blaming others and be 100% responsible for your life.What You'll Learn:How to get unstuck from the vicious cycle of blameWays to overcome your addiction to blaming othersHow the victim mindset is bornHow to move from the blaming domain into the learning domainThe blindspots keeping you in survival modeTips for conscious livingWays you're giving away your power and how to stop doing thatResources: Access your free gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/gift-btc/Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Most people think authenticity is something we do so that the people around us can perceive us as authentic. But authenticity is not an action. It's the ability to experience yourself fully, honestly, and truthfully. And from that place, others can experience you honestly, fully, and truthfully. In this episode, I'll discuss authenticity and why most people don't let themselves be who they really are. I'll also share ways to uncover your true authentic self, overcome imposter syndrome, and release yourself from what you are not.What You'll Learn:The human need to find our true, authentic selfHow to begin the search for your authentic selfWhat to do when you feel disconnected with yourselfWhere our sense of self comes fromIdentity and specific ways to know who you areHow to see yourself as you really areIs imposter syndrome real?Ways to release yourself from who you are notResources:Access your free gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/gift-btc/Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

How can we have mature and intimate relationships with each other when we cannot even listen to each other?Listening is the one thing most of us do daily. You'd think we'd be good at it, but we are not. As a species, we are still running on a very basic level of communication with each other. We hear noise, we make noise, and we think that's it. In this episode, I'll discuss how you can enrich your life and better connect with the wonderful world around you by becoming a better listener. I'll share what it takes to develop the skill of deep listening and why deep listening is the greatest shift to better communication.
