In this masterpiece, Maharishikaa deconstructs traditional approaches to neo advaita, non duality, spiritual awakening, and surrender, bringing clarity to Christina and Peter as they grapple with their respective dilemmas. While Christina struggles with the contradiction between surrender and the premise “I am the Soul,” Peter seeks to understand the connection between surrender and karma (action). Guiding Christina through the logical flaws inherent in a spiritual practice dominated by the statement, “I am That,” Maharishikaa explains that the very act of making such a declaration proves the existence and role of the body. She attributes identification with cosmic Soul—‘That'—to transcendental experiences that arose during the post-Vedic spiritual explorations of the cosmos, which influenced the philosophy of enlightenment and led seekers to experience a loss of personal identity. Ushering in a groundbreaking perspective, Maharishikaa unveils a radically new practice, revealing that the future of spirituality lies in This-ness. She explains that this practice begins by acknowledging, “I am This,” and embracing everything the body is and does. The ‘I,' now rooted in grounded identity, surrenders to the Soul within. Maharishikaa brilliantly illustrates the duality in surrender through the Leela—the divine dance—between Radha and Krishna (the seeker and the sought), where one surrenders to the other. This sacred play would cease to exist under the premise, “I am the Soul.” She invites Christina to reflect: if she identifies with the Soul, how does surrender come into play, and what is the purpose of embodiment? Compassionately addressing Christina's realization that her prior concepts and practices no longer align, Maharishikaa guides her toward true surrender, which ultimately leads to discovering the Soul within. Addressing Peter's perception of surrender as non-action, Maharishikaa explains that surrender is rooted in action. Peter, as the ‘I,' actively bends in surrender to the Soul, especially in moments when the ego seeks control. The more he acts based on the Soul's Impulse, the more joy he experiences; the more he resists the Truth, the more suffering he experiences.  Maharishikaa unmasks the origin of the pride Peter frequently experiences—uncertainty stemming from fear. She propounds that fear dissipates when one is connected with the Truth. She urges him to take up this practice of surrender and discernment, approaching it with love, yearning for Truth, and the intent to be its instrument. Maharishikaa assures him that as he surrenders to the Truth, he will experience profound joy. #Maharishikaa #NeoAdvaita #NonDuality #Enlightenment #Philosophy #IAmThis Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.

Anxiety can creep into our minds, bodies, and lives in the sneakiest of ways. From chronic bouts of anxious thoughts to full blown panic attacks, anxiety can wreak on our internal and external worlds. And although we often think that we should be able to conquer anxiety just by pushing it away or taking a prescription pill, I've found, as a clinical psychologist, that anxiety tends to get worse-- often much worse--until we mindfully address the underlying issues. And when it comes to healing anxiety, research shows that CBT--cognitive behavioral therapy--yields top-notch results. Join Dr. Carla and Dr. Joel Minden, leading psychotherapist, educator, and author, who offers expert advice on how to become the boss of your anxiety. Topics discussed include anxiety, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), obsessive thoughts, intrusive thoughts, betrayal, trust, affair, infidelity, cheating, romantic relationship, divorce, dating, avoidance, repetitive thoughts, adaptive behavior, cognitive flexibility, tolerance, panic attacks, fear, avoidance, compassion, self-compassion, understanding, thought distortions, distorted thinking, thinking errors, emotions, fight or flight response, hypervigilance, and anxiety treatment.

In this engaging conversation, Joy McCarthy shares her personal journey from struggling with health issues to becoming a nutritionist and skincare expert.  She emphasizes the importance of self-worth in health, discusses her experience with rosacea, and highlights the role of diet and lifestyle in skin healing.  Joy also delves into her philosophy on skincare product development, advocating for a simplified routine that prioritizes hydration and skin health.  The discussion concludes with insights on community support and the ongoing journey of health and wellness.   Takeaways Joy's journey into wellness began with her own health struggles. Self-worth is crucial for making lasting health changes. Many people tolerate poor health due to a lack of self-worth. Healing is a continuous journey, not a one-time fix. Diet and lifestyle play significant roles in skin health. Rosacea is a common but often misunderstood condition. Skincare should focus on hydration and maintaining the skin barrier. Natural products can still irritate sensitive skin if not chosen carefully. Community support is vital for health and healing journeys.

In today's episode of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast, I sit down with psychologist, professional speaker, and author Dr. Matt Zakreski to explore the concept of neurodiversity and how to create a more supportive world for neurodivergent individuals.

Today, we're diving into a topic that's both challenging and transformative. Our guest today is Dawn Albert, CEO and founder of Courage to Answer, a coaching business dedicated to helping white people build racial resilience so they can be true advocates for racial equity. She shares her views on understanding and unlearning the biases that shape people's identities, particularly as people with privilege. Dawn's story is one of courage and growth. She shares how unconscious biases influence our lives. And she outlines her simple yet deeply profound techniques for how to combat your own unconscious biases on your own. Together, we'll discuss how bringing hidden thoughts to light can lead to meaningful change—not just within ourselves, but in the world around us. We'll also explore how to step into greater self-awareness with kindness and compassion. And why self-love is about acknowledging the thoughts we've inherited, sitting with them, and choosing to grow from them. | ABOUT THE PODCAST: This minimalist wants more.

“Regardless of those people who depend on you, it is possible for you to be true to who you are. Compassionately, ruthlessly true to who you are. . . true to the open heart.” The most common question Gangaji receives at the end of a retreat is, “How can I trust myself to be true to the truth of who I am while living my daily life?” How do we raise children, pay the bills, go to work, or sustain a marriage and be true to who we are? Is it really a question of trust? In this episode, Gangaji speaks to what is actually closer, and more essential than trust.   Learn more about Gangaji, her schedule of events, and programs at gangaji.org. 

Have you ever had a person you deeply care about go through a terrible loss and you didn't quite know what to say or how to help? In our culture here in the United States, grief is so misunderstood. People often are very well-intended, but say things to their friends, co-workers, and family members in an effort to help that ultimately leads to greater isolation for the person in grief. In this week's episode, Elizabeth Mintun shares the “do's” and “don'ts” on how to best support someone experiencing intense grief. She offers details and actionable steps that will hopefully support anyone wanting to be there for someone who is currently grieving. Key Takeaways: Advice-giving and attempting to “cheer someone up” is typically not helpful (and even potentially damaging) to someone in the grieving process. Everyone's experience of grief is unique; one person's grief cannot be compared to another's. Offering to step in either to simply compassionately listen or to offer acts of service to lighten the load for the griever tends to be the most helpful. Telling a griever to “call me if you need me” isn't usually helpful because that puts the work on the griever to reach out at a time when they're exhausted and in survival mode.

Episode Summary: Susan Duke's entrepreneurial journey began in her mother's retail business, planting the seeds of her desire to own a business. Despite initially majoring in business administration, she found her true passion in English and history, eventually leading her to pursue a law degree.

Have you ever experienced a downward spiral? Those moments that knock you off course, and then it's all downhill from there?  We all have our triggers that can set things in motion... what we don't always realize is the spiral can be traveled in two different directions.  In this episode we're going to talk about spiraling up, not down, and how understanding the spiral nature of our own growth can help us live with more compassion for ourselves and others. 

Welcome back to my new series “I'm the problem, it's me,” where I call bullshit on myself for the self-sabotage and mistakes I keep on making, because that's the stuff that teaches us the most. Today is a vulnerable one. Remember that recent “show me you at 21” trend that circulated on social media? Well that deep-dive through old photo albums and Facebook timelines sent me into a certifiable spiral. Reflecting on who I was in my teens and early 20s, I was confronted with a tidal wave of self hate over how I looked and dressed, how much I drank, how obnoxiously and overly-sexualized I present myself, and how disconnected I seemed to be from who I really am.The judgment and shame towards my past self was overwhelming, until I realized that my current self is in fact the problem. It's easy to be critical in hindsight, but when we were young, we were almost always doing the best we could with what we knew. I've spent a good chunk of adulthood resenting the versions of myself that came before this one. So it's me, Gill, I'm the problem, it's me. And in today's episode I'm rewriting my relationship with my past, and choosing compassion. Join me as I dive into: Why looking into my past brought up so much shame How accepting our past selves can lead to more confidence and compassion Aiming for neutrality and acceptance VS unconditional self-love The power of inner child work The tools I'm using to build self-compassion and change my self-talk Why you should write letters to your past self Learning from the versions of ourselves that we've outgrownWhy growth and change can go hand-in-hand with griefI hope we can all learn to love the past eras that brought us to this one, and in the meantime, know that I love you. Our show is produced by:Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & EditorOlivia Nashmi, Audio EngineerKyla Killackey, Digital EditorCarolyn Schissler, Designer & Web ProducerFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Generosity - Giving more of something of value or virtue, than is strictly required or expected.Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Hebrews 13:16 ESVWhen someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required. Luke 12:48 NLTGenerous living and giving are how we operate as a family at 828 Church.And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. Acts 2:44-45 NLTBring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Malachi 3:10 NLTBy giving yourself completely to GodThe earth is the LORD's, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. Psalm 24:1 NLTWhen you belong to God, everything you are and have is His. We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints, and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us. 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 ESVGenerosity is the only right response to the limitless love we have been given by God. Strategically - Generosity requires strategic and intentional choosing. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace. 1 Peter 4:10 ESV One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Proverbs 11:24 ESVThe generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25 NLT The more we try to hold on to what we have the less we have to hold on to.If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. Mark 8:35Confidently trusting in GodDon't worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:31-33 NLT Without Jesus wealth is not a treasure, it's trouble.You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 NLTGenerosity has more to do with our faith than our finances. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” 2 Corinthians 9:8-9 NLTCompassionatelyUnless your heart is engaged in your giving you won't give for long. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion, how can God's love be in that person? 1 John 3:17 NLT Unconditionally - Surrender is the only path to true Christ-centered generosity. For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 2 Corinthians 9:10 NLTTo live generously is live and give your life back to the God who gave you life in the first place.

As BCBAs, part of our job is to target challenging behavior. Here, we discuss how to do so in a compassionate way so that our learners feel safe. Sometimes, our learners just need our empathy and support after a rough day. As behavior analysts, we have to shift our focus from a follow-through perspective to how to best support those we work with. The best solutions to challenging problems often come from providing a safe, welcoming environment.Having a trauma-informed approach is key, and pushing through sometimes makes challenging behaviors worse. Creating the foundation of a solid relationship should come before we place any real demands on our learners. Our conversation includes how to reframe our perspective to a more compassionate approach, how to build trusting relationships, and how to make environments more enriching and fun.What's Inside:How to create a safe environment for our learners.How to make the learning environment more enriching and fun.How to reframe our perspective to a more compassionate approach.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramEpisode 061: 7 Steps to Instructional Control with Robert Schramm

We are called to love others. Jesus demonstrated this. It is one of the main markers of a true believer. It is easy to talk and think about loving others, but the fruit is measured by action. This is where the rubber meets the road. In this episode, we look at what true kindness is—that giving ourselves to others doesn't obligate them to us. It is a sacrifice to God.

*Vocab below Hi everyone, I hope you're all really well. Today I'm going to be talking to Adam about a really important topic; psychology and mental health. We actually recorded this episode last year (apologies for the delay in publishing) just before Adam made a very long and difficult journey from Gaza to the Netherlands in order to start his studies at Han University. I'm mentioning this a) because Adam is a remarkable person b) he is currently running a GoFundMe to support his studies in International Social Work. Adam has been blind all of his adult life, but this has never stopped his determination, especially for helping others with disability. He is studying International Social Work in order to be able to develop a career in this field in order to have a positive impact. As he is in some financial difficulties at the moment he is fundraising to support his tuition fees and living expenses for the next few years. If you would like to read more about Adam (whose real name is Ahmed....Adam is a nickname) and check out a personal video from him, then you can check this link here https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ahmed-studeren-en-zijn-droom-waar-te-maken?utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=chat&utm_source=whatsapp&utm_term=undefined Many thanks and enjoy the episode!

As we begin to wrap up our week on being used by God, today we'll explore what it means to live compassionately. This radical way of living will transform the people around you and expose them to the beautiful nature of Jesus. After we experience his great compassion for us, may we have no choice but to mimic that with others. Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 4:32, and today's worship is I am Loved by Mack Brock.  -- Thank you so much for listening to today's devotional.  As you head out into the rest of your day, seek to maintain an open heart with others around you. One of the most helpful realizations in having compassion for others is that we judge ourselves by our intentions, and others by their actions. Try and see past the words and actions of others today, to look at their heart. And as you live openly today, allow the vision to the heart to produce true compassion.    Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe. Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
