What if the most painful moments of your life aren't random suffering, but sacred initiations designed to unlock deeper levels of spiritual maturity? In this episode, Raj and Alex explore the concept of "portals" - those intense transitional periods that feel like they'll never end, whether triggered by heartbreak, loss, or life-altering challenges. Unlike ordinary hardships, portals become transformational when you consciously choose to see them as opportunities for growth rather than just crisis. This shift in perspective transforms you from victim to initiate, moving you through the three ascending levels of spiritual development.What You'll Discover:• The Portal vs. Crisis Distinction - Why some people emerge from difficult times completely transformed while others remain stuck in victim consciousness, and how to consciously step into the portal experience• The Faith → Trust → Knowing Progression - The three distinct levels of spiritual initiation that portals are designed to activate, and how to recognize which level you're currently operating from• The Alchemy of Breakup Medicine - Why relationship endings might be the most potent transformation tool available, and the critical window of opportunity that determines whether you'll access its full healing power• The Art of Ritual During Chaos - Specific ceremonial practices for both releasing what's dying and designing what's being born, plus how to create sacred space even when your world is falling apart• The Hero's Journey Pattern in Personal Crisis - How every portal follows a predictable arc from descent into shadow to emergence as teacher, and why recognizing this pattern accelerates your transformation• Life's Curriculum of Surrender - The profound truth about why challenges keep showing up until you master specific spiritual lessons, and what happens when you finally stop resisting the initiationReady to Transform Your Relationship with Difficulty?This isn't just another conversation about getting through hard times - it's a masterclass in recognizing the sacred intelligence behind your struggles. If you've ever wondered why life keeps dealing you seemingly impossible cards, or if you're currently in the thick of a transition that feels endless, this episode will fundamentally shift how you relate to difficulty forever. Raj reveals why "God won't throw you to the wolves unless you have a wolf in you," and exactly how to access the gifts hidden inside your most challenging moments. Stop seeing your struggles as punishment and start recognizing them as your soul's curriculum for awakening.Connect with Raj:Instagram: @raj_janaSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Join us this week as we dive into a powerful conversation with Maggie Albrow, a special education teacher who brings a unique perspective to autism. Diagnosed herself and raising two children on the spectrum, she shares practical parenting strategies that anyone can use to better understand their child's needs, whether or not they have autism. We'll explore how her ISTJ personality shapes her approach and dive into her son's ISTP traits, showing how personality and autism intersect to create unique parenting paths. Plus, we'll break down the differences between high-functioning autism and a naturally withdrawn personality, offering valuable insights for parents looking to support and connect with their kids on a deeper level." My son Nathan demonstrated some symptoms when he was younger but as an adult he graduated magna cum laude with a pre med degree and  he is about to take the MCAT exam to get into med school. Here are some of those symptoms: Highly repetitive behaviors, such as hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating specific phrases. Unusual responses to sensory input, such as covering ears in noisy environments or fascination with particular textures. Limited eye contact or unusual speech patterns (e.g., very literal or highly scripted language). Difficulty with reciprocal social interactions, like sharing enjoyment or showing empathy in conventional ways. Many people on the autism spectrum tend to score as introverts (I types) on MBTI. Introversion doesn't cause or correlate with autism directly, but the inclination toward internal processing can align with certain experiences of autistic individuals, who may feel overstimulated by social interactions or need time alone to recharge. Social and Communication Challenges: People with autism may find it difficult to interpret social cues, understand nonverbal communication, or initiate and maintain conversations. Fe in backseat, especially INTPs. Repetitive Behaviors and Routines: Many individuals engage in repetitive behaviors, have strong preferences for routines, and may experience distress if these routines are disrupted. Si SJ Sensory Sensitivities: Many experience sensory sensitivities, reacting strongly to sights, sounds, textures, or smells that others may not notice or be affected by. Si, Se How often do sensory issues show up in autism and how do you handle these sensitivities? Intense Interests or Focused Hobbies: People with autism often develop deep interests in specific subjects or activities, sometimes with an exceptional level of detail or knowledge.

She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master's degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids.  Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast. Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography. Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!

Andy Crouch gives readers a plethora of ways to put technology in its proper place in his book, The Tech-Wise Family. "To be a child, teenager, or young adult these days is to navigate a minefield of potentially life-altering choices." His daughter wrote in the forward explaining "...the best part of tech-wise parenting is focusing on something older and better than the newest thing. The key word is better." This better way involves choosing: Character, Shape Space, and Structuring Time.Character develops slowly, daily, as we painstakingly overcome problems. Shape spaces are places in our homes that are device free and packed with supplies to create or practice a skill which could include everything from books to board games and paints to a piano. Structuring time is intentionally setting time aside to rest from devices such as spending intentional time being grateful without instantly scrolling.Change is challenging but worthwhile. "We will have to teach our children, from early on, we're not here to make their lives easier but to make them better."Andy's Ten Tech-Wise Commitments1. We develop wisdom and courage together as a family.2. We want to create more than we consume. Fill the center of the home with things that reward skill and active engagement.3. We are designed for a rhythm of work and rest.4. We wake up before our devices do and they "go to bed" before we do.5. We aim for no screens before double digits. Avoid tethering to the glowing screen as long as you can.6. We use screens for a purpose and we use them together.7. Car time is conversation time. It takes 7 minutes to get a 'real' conversation going.8. Spouses have each other's passwords. Parents have total access to kids' devices.9. We learned to sing together. (Powerful picture book, Christmas in the Trenches, shows the power of song. A German soldier started singing Silent Night, and both sides sang together in different languages. They also shared what little treats they had been sent from home)10. We show up IN PERSON for big events in life. (weddings, births, & funerals)Interesting point, "...the quest to cure boredom with entertainment makes the problem worse, the more you entertain kids, the more bored they will get." When we choose the easy way, we miss cultivating patience. The first people to be bored were the first people who did not do manual labor. Frederick Douglass said, "Without struggle, there is no progress." The last thing learners need is for it to be too easy. Difficulty and resistance press learners forward and make the learning stick. We hope you glean much from the pages of this little jewel to bring your precious family closer together as routines are established and memories are made. Screens are probably here to stay, but our children are with us for but a season, may we live life well preparing them for the road ahead.

Moses Williams is an 18-year-old Social/Self-Pres 5w6 who is also on the autism spectrum. Moses describes growing up feeling that adults were hiding the truth, that essential information was missing, and that everyone else somehow knew how to be human in a way he didn't. We talk about his often obsessive fascination with taboo topics—pornography, sexual deviance, violence—not to provoke, but to answer the horrifying question: “Am I stupid for not knowing this already?” He recounts a personal collapse that left him with three options: become a sanitized version of himself, disappear entirely, or dismantle and reform collective assumptions entirely. This conversation also explores intellectual separatism, the pressure to adapt to norms that feel senseless, and the slow, reluctant emergence of a heart that wants something real. This episode contains references to pornography, sexual deviance, and suicide. Listener discretion advised.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance  TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Have you ever felt so bad over something you did that it affects even your appetite? You can't even enjoy your favorite food or activity or people? And why… who was responsible for this?    Based on the information available from the search results regarding Chase Hughes's views, here are some basic traits and indicators he suggests looking for when trying to spot deception: Changes in Behavior: A key principle is to establish a person's baseline behavior when they are likely telling the truth (e.g., answering simple, non-threatening questions) and then look for changes in their behavior when the topic shifts to something they might be lying about. These changes can include deviations in how they answer questions, their eye movements, hand gestures, and breathing patterns. Stress and Fear Indicators: Deception is often linked to increased stress and fear. Physical signs associated with this can include an increased breathing rate, increased blink rate, and facial touching. "Closed" Behavior: Actions that suggest fear or a need to protect oneself, such as crossing arms or bringing fingers together, can be indicators. Increased Need for Control: As someone engages in deception, their need to control the situation and their presentation may increase. Difficulty with Reverse Chronology: When asked to recount events in reverse order, a person who has fabricated a story in forward chronology may struggle significantly compared to someone recalling actual events. Reactions to "Bait" Questions: Vague, hypothetical questions designed to see if a person shows a reaction even if they don't know if evidence exists (e.g., "Is there any reason someone might have seen you at a certain place?") can elicit a nervous response from someone being deceptive. Cluster of Unusual Mannerisms: While a single behavior is rarely a definitive sign of lying, observing a cluster of unusual mannerisms that deviate from the established baseline can be a warning sign. Chase Hughes emphasizes that there is no single, universal body language signal for lying. Instead, the focus is on identifying deviations from a person's normal behavior and looking for clusters of indicators, particularly those related to stress and attempts to gain control. Raising the stakes of the conversation can also make deceptive behaviors more apparent.     Luke 22:62 Peter denies Jesus and goes out and weeps bitterly.    Bitter: GK Violently felt grief that leaves the soul and spirit tasting bitter.      Peter felt shame denying Christ… but shame is only the RED CARPET leading to bitterness.      Lets clear something up.  THIS IS A POWERFUL INSIGHT Peter did not weep bitterly because of what Christ had said or done…  Why was Peter bitter?  HE WAS BITTER Because he did not respond correctly.  We want to blame our bitterness, unforgiveness, hard heartedness on what others did - but it is actually because OF WHAT WE DID NOT DO!        We typically become bitter not because of what someone did to us but rather because of how we responded and we know it was not Christ like.    Peter denied Christ and wept bitterly? Why bitterness? What did Peter do that made him bitter? *He did not represent Jesus AND He did not love the way Jesus would have loved… and he became bitter because of what he had done.  WE THINK AND SAY: I am so bitter because of what they did. BUT THE TRUTH IS MORE ACCURATE: I am so bitter because of WHAT I DID - Because of the way I responded.      **The right response heals not only us but the other person. Armando- wrapping my arms around him and telling him I loved him and want Gods best for him. He calls me later that night and falls apart.

Increased Need for Control: As someone engages in deception, their need to control the situation and their presentation may increase. Difficulty with Reverse Chronology: When asked to recount events in reverse order, a person who has fabricated a story in forward chronology may struggle significantly compared to someone recalling actual events. Reactions to "Bait" Questions: Vague, hypothetical questions designed to see if a person shows a reaction even if they don't know if evidence exists (e.g., "Is there any reason someone might have seen you at a certain place?") can elicit a nervous response from someone being deceptive. Cluster of Unusual Mannerisms: While a single behavior is rarely a definitive sign of lying, observing a cluster of unusual mannerisms that deviate from the established baseline can be a warning sign. Chase Hughes emphasizes that there is no single, universal body language signal for lying. Instead, the focus is on identifying deviations from a person's normal behavior and looking for clusters of indicators, particularly those related to stress and attempts to gain control. Raising the stakes of the conversation can also make deceptive behaviors more apparent.     Luke 22:62 Peter denies Jesus and goes out and weeps bitterly.    Bitter: GK Violently felt grief that leaves the soul and spirit tasting bitter.      Peter felt shame denying Christ… but shame is only the RED CARPET leading to bitterness.      Lets clear something up.  THIS IS A POWERFUL INSIGHT Peter did not weep bitterly because of what Christ had said or done…  Why was Peter bitter?  HE WAS BITTER Because he did not respond correctly.  We want to blame our bitterness, unforgiveness, hard heartedness on what others did - but it is actually because OF WHAT WE DID NOT DO!        We typically become bitter not because of what someone did to us but rather because of how we responded and we know it was not Christ like.    Peter denied Christ and wept bitterly? Why bitterness? What did Peter do that made him bitter? *He did not represent Jesus AND He did not love the way Jesus would have loved… and he became bitter because of what he had done.  WE THINK AND SAY: I am so bitter because of what they did. BUT THE TRUTH IS MORE ACCURATE: I am so bitter because of WHAT I DID - Because of the way I responded.      **The right response heals not only us but the other person. Armando- wrapping my arms around him and telling him I loved him and want Gods best for him. He calls me later that night and falls apart.

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Selina Maitreya, Spiritual Leader, Author, and Teacher of Practical Spirituality   Introduction:  In this mind-expanding episode of Higher Density Living, host Jason Rigby welcomes Selina Maitreya, a trailblazing spiritual teacher and author of Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life. After surviving a life-altering car crash and channeling a decade of divine downloads, Selina unveils a radical truth: every irritation—traffic jams, rude cashiers, even personal crises—is a secret doorway to oneness. Together, they explore how shifting your frequency, not just your thoughts, unlocks peace and purpose in the messiest moments. Packed with gritty stories and practical tools, this episode is a wake-up call to live spiritually in the real world.   Guest Bio: Selina Maitreya is an internationally acclaimed lecturer, author, and pioneer of Practical Spirituality—a hands-on approach to weaving higher consciousness into daily life. Her latest book, Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life (June 2024), is a workbook born from a decade of pain and divine guidance following a 2013 car crash that left her with a traumatic brain injury. From bankruptcy to breakthroughs, Selina's journey proves that responding to life's difficulties with love transforms everything. She's launching a Raise Your Frequency Transform Your Life Work Study Group in June 2025 to guide others in embodying this wisdom. Learn more at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com.   Key Discussion Points: 1. Everyday Chaos as a Spiritual Doorway Selina: “Traffic jams, rude cashiers—these are gold. They're opportunities to respond from love, not ego.” Jason: “People think spirituality is a cave and meditation, but you say it's right here in the mess.” Spirit's message: Difficulty exists so we can access our higher frequency—love.   2. Frequency vs. Thinking: The Game-Changer Jason: “Self-help says ‘change your thinking.' You say ‘change your frequency.' Why's that the fix we've missed?” Selina: “Thoughts are dense 3D structures—frequency is the building block. Shift that, and the brain follows effortlessly.” Science twist: The brain recognizes frequency, not new ideas—EEGs prove it's alive with energy.   3. Practical Oneness in Action Selina's phone hold story: “I said, ‘If I sound irritated, it's me, not you'—and flipped a woman's terrible day.” Pickle jar moment: Helped a grieving woman in a supermarket, turning fury into kindness. Jason: “That's oneness—your love connects to theirs, beyond the ego.”   4. Ego's Sneaky Trap: Personalization Jason: “Why do we make it about ‘me'—the narcissistic monkey mind?” Selina: “It's conditioning—low frequency lands, and we match it. Love gives a new pathway.” Insight: High frequency (love) kills victimhood; ego thrives on it.   5. Free Will: Saying No to Love Selina: “Free will is choosing yes or no to the divine as guidance—we've said no since kids.” Jason: “That shook me—why do we reject love?” Selina: “Fear's the default until we see the divine's power.”   6. The Brain Injury Book Miracle Jason: “You couldn't type or talk, yet Spirit said, ‘Write a book.' How?” Selina: “Five years of phone recordings, two years typing—seven years blind, trusting the divine.” First read: “I saw it after my editor—it blew me away. These tools kept me sane.”   7. Breakdown to Breakthrough Selina's chaos: Ditched a relationship, filed bankruptcy, moved multiple times—all while writing. Jason: “Most call that a breakdown—you call it a breakthrough. How'd you stay sane?” Selina: “A deep divine relationship pre-crash, plus daily practices like going quiet and asking, ‘What's the higher purpose?'”   8. Pain as an Alarm Clock Jason: “You say pain's not a dead end—it's an alarm. Explain that to someone in a health crisis.” Selina: “It's an alert to choose high frequency—feel gratitude in your heart, person by person, to shift the experience.” Example: Her student with vertigo lessened it through gratitude practice.   9. A Call to Action in Crazy Times Selina: “We're all called now—boots on the ground or shining a light. Respond with love in every moment.” Jason: “That's service—not just for us, but the oneness field we share.” Quote: “If we all responded from love, we'd be in a different place.”   Memorable Quotes: “Difficulty is your chance to shift—thank the cashier, thank the jerk in traffic.” – Selina “Change your frequency, not your thoughts—it's efficient, it's divine.” – Selina “Love's the only energy we all share—ego's pain is different, but oneness is universal.” – Selina “Pain's an alert—choose gratitude, and it's not the same.” – Selina “We're called now—every response from love is service.” – Selina   Resources Mentioned: Book: Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life by Selina Maitreya (June 2024) – Order at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com Work Study Group: Raise Your Frequency Transform Your Life Work Study Group – Starts June 2025, details at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com/work-with-selina/ Website: practicalspiritualitywithselina.com – Explore Selina's teachings and story   Call to Action: Grab Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life and start practicing today!

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  This week, I talk about what happens when I actually let myself feel the tough emotions instead of shutting them down - a pattern that's shaped my life and my struggles with hoarding, self-harm, and eating disorders. After a thought-provoking conversation with Anna Sale on Death, Sex & Money last year, I started questioning whether avoiding feelings has helped or hurt me in the long run and have been trying to process that ever since! I share what it's like to sit with big emotions, experiment with messy ways to cope, and why feeling the feelings might just be a way forward. Avoiding Feelings Realisation that I tend to do anything rather than feel difficult emotions. Recent personal reflection and processing feelings over the past few months. Impact of mental health and a PTSD flare-up on my ability to manage feelings. Connecting Coping Mechanisms to Avoidance Experience with PTSD, self-harm, anorexia, and bulimia as different forms of not feeling or avoiding emotions. Insights from an interview with Anna Sale on Death, Sex & Money that linked these coping together as forms of avoidance. Acknowledgment that these strategies were more than just avoidance - also punitive, protective, and multifaceted. The Cost and Pattern of Emotional Avoidance Compartmentalising as a lifelong coping skill and its negative long-term consequences. Difficulty breaking the habit of not feeling and the impact on my sense of identity. Recognition that suppressing feelings can be as damaging as (or more damaging than) the feelings themselves. Actively Facing and Processing Feelings Engaging in therapy, journaling (both resentful and creative/collage style), and reading poetry to access emotions. Talking more openly with friends as a supportive measure. Forcing myself to do enjoyable activities (like getting outside), which helps counteract avoidance. Community, Connection, and Support Impact of Trauma and Suppression on Daily Life How PTSD and unprocessed sadness began affecting sleep, revealing that suppressing feelings is no longer effective. Discusses the challenge of letting oneself feel emotions, both by choice and when overcome involuntarily. The risks of being overwhelmed and the delicate balance between feeling and avoidance. Learning and Conversations About Emotional Acceptance Revisiting lessons from previous podcast guests about the counterproductivity of suppressing or over-intellectualising feelings. The concept that suppressed emotions may “come out sideways” through other behaviours, like self-harm or hoarding. Nuanced view of coping mechanisms - not labeling them as purely negative since they served protective purposes. Vulnerability, Shame, and Deepening Relationships Gradual willingness to share deeper, more distressing moments with friends. Examining the reasons behind the instinct to hide intense distress. How vulnerability leads to stronger, more meaningful connections. Positive Effects of Feeling the Hard Stuff Discovering that feeling hard emotions increases the capacity to feel positive emotions more deeply. Finding deeper love, joy, and beauty in everyday experiences. Recognising the importance of support systems when exploring difficult emotions. Reflection and Encouragement for Listeners Encourages listeners to be curious about their own patterns of avoidance and coping. Cautions that intentionally feeling emotions is difficult and requires support. The hopeful observation that allowing feelings can be cathartic, gratifying, and healing—even if it's uncomfortable.
