Listen to the stories of four women who recently journeyed thorugh my small group mentorship experience, the field.  They all joined for different reasons and had different experiences yet as you will hear, their core values remain the same. The field is currently open for enrolment. Explore all the details and apply here - https://www.felicitydavies.com.au/thefield Jenna joined the field to get back into riding vs solely caretaking. What unfolded was a deeply healing journey that amplified her self-trust. Bianca realised her horse was mirroring so much back to her. Through the field, she softened, listened, and let her horse guide the way - taking their relationship to a whole new level. Gemma joined the field to deepen her connection with her mare Freya - and they've gone from strength to strength, even playing at liberty with what she calls “energy circling.” Tina was caught in a cycle of trying to fix her mare and constantly second-guessing herself. Joining the field shifted everything - it didn't just change her relationship with her horse, it changed her life.

How often do we criticize others for their spiritual blindness while missing the glaring blind spots in our own lives? This eye-opening message explores the uncomfortable truth that even mature believers can be "blind to their own blindness."Drawing from 2 Peter 1, we discover seven essential qualities that prevent us from being "useless and unfruitful" in our walk with Christ: goodness, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. Each virtue represents an area where believers commonly develop blind spots—from integrity gaps to wisdom deficits, from impulsiveness to conditional love.The truly transformative revelation comes when we understand that developing these qualities isn't about striving through our own effort. As Peter explains, "His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him." Like an all-inclusive resort that provides everything needed for a perfect vacation, Jesus has already supplied all we require for godly living.The key to accessing this provision? Deepening our knowledge of Christ through intimate relationship, not mere intellectual understanding. As J.I. Packer powerfully stated, "Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord."This message challenges us to examine which of these seven qualities might represent our personal blind spot, while reminding us that our motivation for growth should spring from love and gratitude rather than guilt or shame. When we understand all Christ has done for us, our response becomes "Lord, I want to serve you, I want to follow you, I want to honor you"—not to earn favor, but because we already have it.What blind spot might the Holy Spirit be gently revealing in your life today? And how might addressing it transform your relationship with God and others?

What if your relationship struggles were actually doorways to deeper connection? Aaron and Greer, the heart behind Intimacy for Couples, dive deep into what truly transforms relationships from mundane to transformational.Their journey began unconventionally—as friends for a year before romance entered the picture, allowing them to establish radical honesty without the expectations and attachments that often complicate partnerships. When they finally came together romantically, Aaron was thrust into a profound identity crisis, shifting from "solo bachelor" to suburban dad virtually overnight. Meanwhile, Greer navigated ending her previous marriage while parenting two young children. This crucible of challenge became the fertile soil from which their relationship philosophy blossomed.At the core of their approach is individual shadow work—the courageous exploration of unconscious patterns driving our behaviours. Aaron vulnerably shares how burnout forced him to confront deep-seated "not-enoughness" and learn to receive love based on who he is rather than what he accomplishes. Greer reveals how her father's illness catalysed her commitment to radical truth-telling, creating a partnership where honesty trumps comfort.Their practical tools transform abstract concepts into actionable wisdom. They introduce somatic awareness—tracking body sensations during difficult conversations—as a concrete pathway through emotional storms. Their simple phrase "I choose to come back to love" serves as a pattern-interrupter during conflicts. Perhaps most revolutionary is their approach to forgiveness: "Most of the time, forgiveness comes with realising there's nothing to forgive." When we truly understand another's conditioning and perspective, judgment naturally dissolves.Rather than avoiding triggers, they invite couples to use them as opportunities for healing. By witnessing each other's inner children and wounds in safe containers, relationships develop a compassion that fundamentally transforms daily interactions. This approach allows for both individual missions and deep partnership—proving that true intimacy doesn't require enmeshment, but thrives when two whole people choose to grow together.Ready to transform your relationship from surviving to thriving?

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We continue our series of meditations and talks exploring the foundations of contemporary Buddhist practice. We begin by reviewing last week's talk on the basic model of Buddhist meditation, identifying three aspects of practice. These three are (1) developing samadhi or concentration; (2) cultivating three modes of liberating insight--into impermanence, dukkha or reactivity, and not-self; and (3) opening to awakened awareness. Then we focus on a crucial, central, and not always developed dimension of contemporary practice, especially for the vast majority of Western Buddhist practitioners who do not live in monastic contexts--bringing practice to everyday life. We identify nine ways of deepening daily life practice. The talk is followed by discussion.

What does it really mean to be friends with God—and how can that friendship fill our lives with lasting joy? In this uplifting episode, we talk with Faith about how intimacy with God shifts our desires, strengthens our faith, and sustains us through hardship. We also explore how to take that next step into deeper friendship with Him, and what it practically looks like to live each day knowing God as both Father and Friend. Plus, don't miss details on our journal giveaway over on Instagram @awesome_marriage! Episode Highlights: Friendship with God sparks joy in our lives. Joy is referenced over 400 times in scripture. Our default mode is to find joy in God's presence. Joy is not just a moment but a continuous state. The fall of humankind began when joy was sought outside of God. Joy is deeper than happiness; it encompasses peace and confidence. Every season of life has its own joy to discover. Jesus is the source of our completion and joy. Enjoying the Holy Spirit alters your desires. Acknowledging God in daily life fosters intimacy. Practicing the presence of God can be done in all activities. Friendship with God is accessible through salvation. Questions for Reflection: How would you describe your current friendship with God? What moments in your life have made you feel closest to God? What did those times have in common? What spiritual disciplines or habits help you feel more connected to God on a daily basis? Are there any areas where you feel distant from God right now? What might be contributing to that? Are there any distractions or habits you might need to let go of to prioritize friendship with God? Quotes from Today's Episode: "We can be friends with God." "Jesus is where my completion is." "He does the heart work." "Acknowledge Him in all your ways." "God's got answers for all of us."

Have you ever found yourself starting something with excitement… only to drop it a few weeks later?Or maybe you push yourself obsessively for quick results—only to burn out and walk away?You're not alone. In this week's episode, I unpack one of the most powerful books I've read on personal growth: Mastery by George Leonard.Through the lens of emotional mastery and relationships, I explore the 5 key lessons that transformed the way I think about progress, success, and why we give up too soon.In this episode, you'll learn:Why there's no such thing as an “expert”… only lifelong learnersThe 4 ways people typically approach learning — and which one leads to true masteryHow to reframe plateaus, resistance, and slow progress as signs of deep integrationAnd what it means to love the process so much that you don't want it to endBecause... mastery isn't about arriving. It's about deepening. Over and over again.“If you are truly passionate about something and you want to gain some level of mastery in that, your first order of business is to set aside this notion that you're going to arrive somewhere, and to take on the identity of a lifelong learner.” ~ Dr. Kavetha SundaramoorthyAnd if you feel inspired—let me know:What are you a lifelong student of?

Hi all! Please keep in mind that this episode was recorded a few months ago, and the intro was recorded early last week. I want to hold space for anyone affected by issues occurring globally - especially for the immigrants that make this country what it is and for fellow Iranians waiting to hear from loved ones as they flee their home.To introduce this week's guest: Dr. Trevino is a Texas-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist whose private practice specializes in men's mental well-being and relational therapy. He is also the Director of Clinical Training at Antioch University Seattle's Couple and Family Therapy Program, where he is dedicated to shaping the next generation of mental health professionals. Passionate about breaking down stigma, Dr. Trevino leverages his social media platforms to normalize mental health discussions, encouraging honest and open dialogue that empowers individuals to prioritize their wellness.In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of men's mental health, diverse representation within the mental health field, and cultural stigma around vulnerability and seeking therapy. We explore what it can look like to find the right therapist fit, one that either can resonate with your lived experience or approaches it with genuine curiosity. We also discuss the importance of culturally competent care and the responsibility of therapists to address larger societal issues that impact their clients, rather than avoiding them.FOLLOW DR.

What happens when communication goes beyond words and into the soul? In this episode of Beyond the Reiki Gateway, Andrea welcomes Stephanie Banks, an intuitive channel, mentor, and author who specializes in soul-to-soul communication with both the living and those in spirit. Stephanie's journey began in a deeply human way, navigating her mother's dementia. What unfolded was a powerful discovery of how channeling can heal, reframe, and transform our most sacred relationships. Stephanie shares what it really means to channel living people and why our greatest guidance often comes from within. She and Andrea explore the role of the higher self, how animals serve as spiritual mirrors, and how we can all begin to access this divine connection for ourselves. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about conscious channeling, energetic boundaries, and the soul's desire to evolve through love, even in the most challenging circumstances.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – A soul agreement interrupted: Stephanie's transformational message from her mother 02:00 – Meet Stephanie Banks: intuitive channel and soul communicator 03:15 – What is channeling vs. mediumship?

This sharing draws from teachings of Andrew Olendzki's lovely short article, What's In A Word, Sati, from Tricycle and Bhikku Analayo's book, Satipatthana Meditation, both of which make clear that our usual understanding of the word mindfulness is inadequate for opening the true radical transformative potential inherent in the opening of a "mindful" mind. (Please excuse my misnaming of Bhikku Analayo as Ajahn Analayo in the talk. thanks!)

"You must resist the temptation to go back and to cling to what you know because it's comfortable". What do you do when nothing makes sense anymore, when you've let go of who you were but haven't yet become who you're meant to be? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, I explore the void, that sacred, often painful space between life chapters where transformation is quietly unfolding. Maybe you feel stuck, tired, uninspired, or disconnected. You're not broken. You're not lost. You're simply in the space between stories. I'll guide you through how to embrace the unknown, trust the timing of your soul, and stop forcing clarity before it's ready. The void is not the end, it's the sacred pause before the beginning. Tune in and learn how to navigate the void with grace, surrender, and trust, so you can emerge renewed, realigned, and ready for your next level. Timestamps: (00:05:34) - What is the void, and why does it feel so terrifying. (00:07:25) - The ego's temptation to cling to the familiar. (00:09:47) - The void as a sacred space of transition. (00:12:09) - Differentiating the void from depression, burnout, or failure. (00:15:10) - The void is not a punishment, it's a portal. (00:17:05) -  Why the void is so intense: ego panic, identity loss, warped time. (00:18:08) -  The nervous system's reset and transformation during the void. (00:20:34) - Practical steps to navigate the void: rest, grieve, feel. (00:23:59) - Deepening your spiritual practice during the void. (00:25:37) - The void is not the end, it's the space before the beginning. Some questions I ask:  What is the void, and why is it such a sacred yet uncomfortable space? Why do we resist the void, and what happens when we try to rush through it? How can we navigate the void with trust, grace, and spiritual depth? What are the practical steps we can take when we're “in between” lives? In this episode, you will learn about:  What “the void” really is, and why it's one of the most sacred and transformational spaces in your life. Why the void can feel terrifying, confusing, or unproductive, and how to navigate it without losing yourself. How to resist the ego's urge to cling to the past or rush into action just to feel safe. Why the void is not a punishment or failure, but a powerful pause where your soul rewires and resets. How to honor the emotions that arise in the void, grief, confusion, fatigue, and process them with compassion.

Have you ever heard a piece of advice that just hit you straight in the soul? Like, something so profound and simple that it instantly shifts the way you see the world? Yeah, that happened to me recently, and I couldn't keep it to myself.In a world driven by screens, deadlines, and digital overload, meaningful advice can often get lost in the noise. But one piece of wisdom from 2025 stood out for its simplicity and truth: “Spend more time with God-made things and less time with man-made things.”This advice comes from my friend Ryan Levesque, a highly respected entrepreneur, bestselling author, and CEO who has built a $100M+ business while maintaining a deeply rooted lifestyle with his family on a self-sustaining farm. His words speak to a core principle many of us forget in our busy lives: real fulfillment is often found not in what we create but in what already exists around us.God-made things refer to nature, the human body, love, spirit, animals, and organic food—elements that were here long before modern conveniences. Man-made things include screens, buildings, processed food, social media, and digital noise. While technology has its place, overexposure can create imbalance, disconnection, and burnout.Here are three practical ways to apply this advice to your daily life:Start a Nature-First RoutineIntegrate natural elements into your morning and evening habits. Instead of checking your phone first thing in the morning, step outside, walk barefoot on the grass, or enjoy a quiet moment in the sun. Pair a nature-based habit with an existing routine, like drinking your morning coffee under a tree or journaling on your porch. These small shifts can increase your sense of calm and connection.Practice a Digital SabbathTake one day a week off from screens entirely. No emails, no social media, no notifications. Use that day to read, spend time with loved ones, cook, hike, or reflect in silence. Disconnecting from digital noise, even briefly, allows the mind and body to reset. To make this sustainable, plan ahead by scheduling your content or communication so you're free to unplug without stress.Prioritize Soul-Centered ConnectionMake intentional time for relationships that nourish your spirit. This could be having an uninterrupted dinner with family, going for a walk with a friend, or simply sitting in prayer or reflection. Real connection is increasingly rare in our fast-paced lives, but it's also where fulfillment lies. Deepening these bonds enhances both personal and professional well-being.The best advice often isn't revolutionary—it's a return to what matters. By choosing nature, connection, and stillness more often, you create space for clarity and joy. The balance between ambition and well-being doesn't come from doing more but from choosing better.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Luke 24:46–49And with that, the earthly mission of Jesus was completed and He ascended into Heaven. Or was it? Was His mission completed? Yes, but only in the sense that our Lord's work of destroying death and offering new life was accomplished by His life, death and resurrection. Human nature was now invited to share in a new life of grace.Prayerfully imagine standing on the mountain of the Ascension with our Lord. As you gaze upon Him, imagine that you were also present with Him throughout His public ministry. Imagine witnessing His many miracles, the way that He converted the hardest of hearts, the authority with which He spoke, His arrest, torture, death and then His Resurrection. Imagine seeing His hands and feet, once pierced, now radiating glory from those wounds. As you see our Lord in this way, imagine Him looking at you with love and saying to you that He has chosen to send you forth to the world to be a witness to Him and to all that you have seen and encountered. You are to go forth sharing the Good News of His life, death and resurrection with all whom you come in contact with.First, our Lord has, indeed, shared His entire life with you. By reading the Gospels, you become a firsthand witness to all that Jesus did and accomplished. His Word is alive, and it reveals His very Person to you, just as it did to His first followers. Second, Jesus does call you to go forth and to share this living Gospel with the world. Therefore, it is important to ponder how you can do such a thing. How can you give witness to the Resurrection of Christ? How can you change lives? How can you continue the mission of Jesus Himself?The promise given by our Lord to the disciples on the mountain of the Ascension is also a promise given to you. He is promising to send the Holy Spirit upon you so as to clothe you “with power from on high.” Only by receiving that power and using it fully will you be able to accomplish the mission that our Lord has given to you. Therefore, will you open yourself to the Holy Spirit and commit yourself to the continuation of Christ's mission?If we were to fully understand the mission we have received from Jesus, it would fill us with a holy fear. But too often the realization of what God wants of us fills us with an unholy fear instead. We think about evangelizing others, sharing our faith, witnessing to the truth by our actions, loving our enemies and living for the Gospel alone, and it can appear overwhelming. If that is the case with you, then know that this form of unholy fear can be dispelled so that the gift of holy fear can take its place. Holy fear is a gift of the Holy Spirit that inspires us to sense the awesomeness of God and the mission we are given by encountering it firsthand. It motivates us, encourages us and leaves us with wonder and awe. From there, this and every other gift of the Holy Spirit enables us to fulfill the unending mission of Christ.Reflect, today, upon the particular mission that God has given to you. Prayerfully look at Jesus as He stands on the mountain of the Ascension and looks at you. As He does, let Him reveal to you not only His very Person but also your particular sharing in His ongoing mission of sharing the Good News to the ends of the earth. Receive that mission with courage, joy and holy fear. Reverence it, savor it, ponder it and accept it. Commit yourself to this glorious sharing in the life of Christ by committing yourself to become a witness to Christ until the end of your life on earth. My ascended Lord, as You entered body and soul into the full and glorious presence of Your Father, You handed on to your disciples the duty of completing Your mission on earth. I hear Your call in my life, dear Lord, and commit myself to the glorious task of continuing that mission on earth. Please use me as You will and fill me with power from on high so that I may help share Your saving Word to the ends of the earth. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Paolo Veronese, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
