What's actually wrong with being told to just let it go?Cynthia Abulafia breaks down why letting go might be the worst advice spirituality ever gave us, and why turning toward what activates you does more than release ever could. This conversation goes beyond surface-level mindfulness into the pulsation underneath every trigger, every ego spiral, and every moment you catch yourself performing peace instead of actually feeling it. Cynthia and Melissa get into the goddess as a model for staying in the mess of real life, instead of climbing a ladder out of it.What you'll learn:Why letting go quietly teaches you to disassociateThe real difference between a trigger and an activationHow non-duality gets used to dodge real accountabilityCynthia Abulafia is a yoga therapist and author of Embodying the Goddess: How to Awaken Curiosity and Reverence on the Spiritual Path. She spent 15 years inside direct-path non-duality teaching before turning her focus to why the body, not transcendence, is where the real work happens. Her work maps a way back into the heart that does not require leaving it in the first place.Find Cynthia's book Embodying the Goddess and all links at: mindlove.com/468Ready to turn toward what you would normally push away, with people who actually get it?

In this guided meditation, we cultivate an embodied sense of acceptance, kindness and care—learning to meet each moment with a friendly, allowing presence. Beginning with the breath and a relaxed, awake awareness, we explore the felt sense of an inner smile, allowing its warmth to move through the face, heart, belly and whole body. This embodied friendliness becomes a way of making room for whatever is here, without pushing away our experience or holding on to it. As thoughts, emotions or tension arise, the practice invites us to soften, open and return to a heart-space that can include it all. Rather than needing this moment—or ourselves—to be different, we discover the peace that comes from meeting life with acceptance and care. As poet Dorothy Hunt writes, "Peace is this moment without judgment." This meditation is especially supportive for cultivating mindfulness, self-compassion, loving-kindness (metta), emotional healing, inner peace and embodied presence.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

In this moment, how can you offer yourself what you are truly craving — a kind word, a rest, or a gentle recognition of all that you are?"In this episode, we go deeper into a theme we opened last week — the Mother as a living force — and turn the lens inward. When outer support feels shaky or absent, self-mothering becomes the ground you stand on: a radical, loving practice of becoming your own source of protection, nurturance, and honest validation.In this episode, you'll learn:Why self-mothering is essential in unpredictable times.The three core practices of self-mothering: protection, nurturance, and validation.How embodying the Mother within becomes a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.Self-mothering isn't only personal medicine — it ripples outward. The security and kindness you build within yourself becomes the foundation for healthier relationships, families, and communities. When you shift your inner world, your outer reality shifts with it.Connect & Share: If this episode resonates, it would mean a lot if you left a review, subscribed, dropped a comment, or gave the YouTube video a like.

What does soccer have to do with Zionism? More than you might think. Today, competitive sports feel like an obvious part of Israeli culture. But when Zionism was taking shape in the early 20th century, sports were anything but obvious. Many Zionists actually preferred gymnastics, believing it would build a healthier, more disciplined—and more ideal—Jew. So how did competitive sports win out? In this fascinating episode, Dr Ofer Idels, fellow in Israel Studies at the University of Calgary, takes us back to interwar Palestine, when Jews were debating what kind of bodies, citizens, and society they wanted to create. Along the way, we discover how sports became entangled with nationalism, Hebrew culture, masculinity, capitalism, the British Empire—and the very idea of what it meant to be a "new Jew." And here's the intriguing part: Idels argues that even something as seemingly apolitical as sport can reveal the ideology shaping a society. Read more in his book, Embodying the Revolution: The Hebrew Experience and the Globalization of Modern Sports in Interwar Palestine.

I'm back with another concept that the manifestation / spiritual world glosses over but fails to explain at the depths required to manifest the career, relationships, and success we all desire. Unconditional love sounds nice, but it's so much more than just saying "yeah, I love them unconditionally." When you get the right formula to install this into your creator field, it's pure magic for creating anything you want in life.Embodying unconditional love will help you avoid so many crashouts, handle triggering people in your life in a matter of minutes, and keep your emotions balanced so you can avoid unnecessary reflections.Tune in to start seeing the world how Source sees it, and learn why this is a non-negotiable inside your manifesting toolkit.The Intuitive Advantage Waitlist (Intuition Training)Free webinar replay libraryInstagram: @melissaburkhart_Website: www.melissaburkhart.com

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering? How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy, without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities? In her new series, Engaged Compassion, Sharon delves into these questions and more, engaging in candid conversations with a diverse group of teachers, activists, and changemakers. For the eighth episode in the series, Sharon speaks with Rev. Paul Raushenbush. This is his first appearance on the Metta Hour Podcast. Rev. Raushenbush is President and CEO of Interfaith Alliance.

In this episode, Ruth closes our podcast season on “becoming human,” reflecting on an incarnational spirituality that is lived in the God-ordained reality of our bodies rather than bifurcated from them. She invites listeners to notice what they now know, what questions have surfaced, and how suffering and honest inquiry shape theology and spiritual leadership, calling leaders to stay present to bodily experience in themselves and those they shepherd. Ruth closes with four practices—paying attention to the body, caring for it, praying with it, and biospiritual focusing—and concludes by once again reading Brian Wren's “Good Is the Flesh” as an embodied blessing.   Season 29 is titled Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few.

A growing chorus of psychologists, contemplatives, and systems thinkers argue that most of us, and most of our institutions, are running an outdated psychological and spiritual "operating system," one never built for the converging ecological, economic, and cultural crises we face. Technological and policy responses absorb nearly all of our attention and resources, yet the maturity of the humans making the decisions may be the most needed and least prioritized intervention of all.  Could ancient contemplative traditions, paired with modern psychology, offer a map for the kind of collective growing up this moment demands? In this episode, Nate welcomes Dr. John Churchill, a psychologist and former Buddhist monk, to explore a map of human development that runs from "first-person" perspective of the isolated self all the way to a felt, embodied sense of interdependence with the planet itself. Drawing on decades spent synthesizing Tibetan Buddhist contemplative science with Western developmental psychology, John walks Nate through why our centers of power remain frozen at the level of third-person individualism. John also explains why  "love wisdom" (the integration of heart and mind) may be the missing ingredient in how we respond to our more-than-human predicament. Along the way, Nate presses him on whether this maturation applies to individuals, cultures, or our entire species, and on how a 2,000-year detour through empire and the carbon pulse pushed these traditions to the margins. The conversation ranges from the lost sacred academies of Alexandria to a simple attention practice anyone can do, and it keeps circling back to a single throughline: that beauty, truth, and goodness are load-bearing structures for whatever comes next.  What do beauty, truth, and goodness have to do with finding alternative paths toward a more flourishing humanity? How would it feel to be truly at one with the planet, and how might it change the way we act? And what can an individual do, this month, with the time and resources they actually have, to begin living into that shift? (Conversation recorded on June 17th, 2026)   About John Churchill: John began his in-depth study of Buddhist Psychology while a Buddhist monk at Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland. He then spent 15 years training and teaching in "Great Seal" meditation in an Indo-Tibetan Mahayana lineage under the mentorship of the late senior Western teacher, translator, respected author, and clinical psychologist Dr. Daniel P. Brown. He is also a founding member of the Integral Institute led by esteemed Transpersonal/Integral philosopher, Ken Wilber.  John has received advanced training in: attachment therapy, hypnosis, positive psychology for peak performance, and the "Pointing Out" style of Mahamudra meditation. For the last 25 years, John has developed the Fourth Turning Planetary Dharma which includes: a redesigned Nine Stages of Calm-Staying practice path, and a somatically based contemplative practice path; Embodying the Open Ground, that integrates psychodynamic healing, adult development and meditation. John holds a Doctorate in clinical psychology from William James College, and is a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Meditation is the prayerful practice of attending to God with the heart through Scripture, silence, or sacred words, not to gain information but to be present. Listen in to be guided into an intentional posture of attentiveness to God's presence with Psalm 46:10.

You may never hear a voice from heaven.You may never see a burning bush or a miraculous sign pointing you toward your next step.But what if God has already placed you exactly where you are for a reason?This week, we explored the book of Esther—a story that reminds us that ordinary people, living ordinary lives, can become extraordinary agents of grace. Sometimes faith isn't about waiting for a clearer calling. It's about saying yes to the place, the people, and the moment already in front of you.Because maybe this really is your moment.The book of Esther tells the story of an ordinary young woman who finds herself in an extraordinary moment. With no miraculous signs, no prophetic voice, and no guarantees of success, Esther chooses courage anyway.This week we explored what it means to trust that God has placed us where we are for a purpose. Rather than waiting for a dramatic calling, we're invited to embody the grace of Jesus in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and everyday relationships.Key TakeawaysGod often works through ordinary people in ordinary places.Calling begins with faithfulness where you already are.Courage isn't certainty—it's obedience without guarantees.We are called to become agents of grace.Small acts of faithfulness can become part of God's bigger story.Key MomentsThe story of Esther during the Persian exile."Perhaps you have come to royal dignity for such a time as this."God's work through ordinary people.Embodying grace in everyday life.Communion as a reminder that Christ embodied God's love for us.ScriptureEsther 1–10Esther 4:14John 1:14ReflectionWhere has God already placed you to become an agent of grace this week?ConnectFollowing Jesus isn't always about discovering somewhere else you're supposed to be.Sometimes it's about recognizing that this family, this workplace, this neighborhood, and this season are the very places where God intends to make his grace visible through you.

What happens when you clear away the mental stories, open your heart, and surrender your brain's need to control everything? In this raw, channeled, and deeply personal episode, Emily takes you inside a massive portal of divine activation that completely transformed her week. Recorded right at the powerful Cancer New Moon on July 13th, 2026, this episode serves as a living, breathing frequency transmission designed to open your heart chakra and expand your capacity to receive. Emily shares the cosmic, synchronistic backstory of how a casual visit from animal communicator Tyler Gines unlocked the vision for her new in-person VIP 1-on-1 retreats in Philadelphia. You'll hear how the very first retreat with her private client, Jess, quickly evolved from a restful weekend into a full-blown, high-frequency unconditional love activation. From walking three and a half miles through a thunderstorm on the Wissahickon Trail to receiving profound channeled text from Mary Magdalene and the Divine Feminine council, this episode is a beautiful reminder that everything in your life is unfolding in perfect, divinely interconnected timing. Key Takeaways: - Reflecting on a Year of Healing – Navigating the complex journey of grief, heartbreak, and emotional integration since her 10-year relationship ended in June 2025. - The Birth of Philly VIP Weekends – How a June visit from Tyler Gines sparked the intuitive download for Emily to begin hosting premium, one-on-one, in-person client retreats in her favorite city. - Synchronicities with Jess – The flawless divine timing that brought her private client of two years to Philadelphia for the weekend of July 11th. - Channeled Transmission: Why We Fear Love – Emily reads a profound message channeled by Jess about the Divine Feminine, why the human brain struggles to hold such a high frequency, and how to train the vessel to receive universal love. - Diamond Ray & Rainbow Flame Activations – A look inside the energy healing work facilitated over the weekend, including a breathwork ceremony with Sam Zeph and luxurious high-vibrational integration at the Four Seasons spa. - The Medicine of the Thunderstorm – The magic of hiking the Wissahickon Trail in the pouring rain, testing the nervous system's capacity to hold discomfort, and finding structural geometric loops (spirals) hidden in nature. - Unlearning the Stories of Fear & Lack – Facing the trauma, childhood programming, and past-life conditioning that tell us love is unsafe or will be ripped away. - A Question for Your Higher Self – If you were to have the exact kind of love you deeply desire in your life right now, what are you most afraid would happen? - Embodying the Akashic Records – Emily reflects on moving from a mental understanding of unconditional love to full somatic embodiment at 32 years old. - Entering the Portal of Divine Union – Merging the masculine and feminine, the light and the dark, and reuniting with your multi-dimensional self across timelines. - Live Energetic Transmission – Lean back and receive a powerful heart-opening attunement using the Rainbow Ray and Diamond White Ray to clear structural layers of fear and separation over the next 7 days.

Greetings Dear Listeners,This episode is packed with information, ideas, thoughts and insights for your listening consideration.  It is always an honor and delight when I'm in conversation with my sister-friend, Kathy Harmon-Luber. In today's segment she brings a wealth of insights and knowledge about the "Dwarf Planets"  which are just starting to be recognized in the astrology community.  The importance of their place in astrology is immense.  They appear to be offering a re-balancing  of astrological knowledge, understanding and wisdom, by deepening  the view of the emerging feminine archetype.(Please Note:  At the 40 minute mark, Kathy will be doing a Guided Sound Bath. As you listen please refrain from driving.  Also better listening with headphones when relaxing in the sound bath.)Insights for this New Moon in CancerLunar Theme: This New Moon in Cancer brings a powerful awareness about transformation as we move through the next  6 months and beyond. Questions such as how do we take care of self through more rest, learning more truthful and meaningful connection with others?  The sign of Cancer is endowed with great empathy, emotional resilience, and the capacity to heal the emotional woundedness in themselves and others.  They have another great asset in the form of their unparalleled psychic and spiritual ability for getting the answers they need for living in an authentic and heart centered way. ( This healing includes a  Cancer sign country, in particular, the United States).Cancer is associated with the 4th house, guided by the Moon. This is the house of the “mothering energy”.  The lunar house is at the root and foundation of life.  Here's where the subconscious patterns and beliefs about life  and self are developed. Since Cancer is part of the triad of water signs, this sign brings emphasis to the experience of feeling in tune with life through one's emotions. Each person has a  unique soul journey. How  is this  journey being revealed in each person's life? The following are some prompts to help examine those core experiences that every person has to face. On a personal level how will each of us deal with the life systems that are no longer functioning?  Notice Capricorn energy.  See previous episode, Full Moon in Capricorn.The dilemma of what is  “home”?  This could be the family of origin, chosen family group, more specifically the meaning of home within your own being ?The regard and treatment of our “home, planet Earth” is on the line and how does this impact your view of yourself, and the way you move through the world, the societal collective experience?How are all the inhabitants upon the planet going to reconnect with our“home” and live more equitably with one another?Rebirth and AwakeningThis New Moon in Cancer brings everyone face to face with the question of how to embrace the ability to be self-nurturing, truthful, loving, creative, and willing to take the “high road” in relating to others.The sign of Cancer is the potential to activate self-insight, deep nurturing, and the experience of understanding the emotion of vulnerability. Some Important Questions“How  does an individual embrace, experience and move through the times of energy constriction, inertia, confusion, emotional numbness, physical blockage, psychic delusion, and challenges to the spirit?”This sign is fully available to facilitate big life changes,  because it's operating from the energy of the Moon, the planet(luminary) that provides planetary and Soul guidance. The rebirth and healing is the essential evolutionary paradigm shift that is moving through the entire collective on this planet.  Currently, the massive and pervasive health, socio-political, cultural,  and spiritual crises are indicators that healing can only occur when everyone is included as having value as a human being. The fighting, dissension, and the false belief systems about who is entitled to what, within the world “family”, meaning the collective of humanity, will continue to falter and fall.“Come Home to Yourself” Steps for Embodying the Cancer archetype  which represents the essence of your innermost expression of self.  The lunar energy is the hidden part that is not as obvious as the Sun sign energy,  but just as important.Cancer symbolizes birthing, mothering and nurturing experience.  It represents the roots, home, family, ancestral lineage that provides the foundation for living. As a “feminine” sign, meaning there is an innate receptivity and heart-centeredness that taps directly into the cosmic/universal energy.“Masculine” energy seeks an action oriented, ego expressed and personal hands on approach.This sign is part of the triad of three water signs, which all embody the intuitive ability to sense  life through the emotions. Cancer is the sign that brings emotional comfort to others in a creative and nurturing way. This sign provides circumstances and life situations where they give solace to others. On a physical level, Cancer is associated with nourishment. Food serves as a particular way of showing love. The ability to support and feed others, but choose to deny nurturing and nourishment to others.Cancer represents the remembrance of the ancestral connections. It represents “emotional intelligence”and  the ability to initiate movement using this intuitive awareness.  Along with the other water signs, there is a psychic understanding and awareness of the 6th sensory realm.   The Cancer archetype is revealed as the “I Mother”Principle. This sign possesses the ability to connect through the power of emotional and psychic clarity. Some Words from  Kathy about the New Moon and Dwarf Planets:"Yes, the July 14th New Moon at 21° Cancer invites nourishing self-care and intuition – but the question isn't merely “How do I nourish myself?”. Something much larger is happening. Humanity is standing in a rare evolutionary moment – a Golden Era, a time portended in the ancient prophecies of indigenous peoples of N & S Americas, the Inuits, ancestors from Siberia, Asia, India, Africa, Australia, the world over.I believe each of us alive on Earth at this particularly challenging time is here for an important reason. To shine your unique light. To remember who you are and awaken to your place in the unfolding story. There's only one YOU in the entire universe. Right now, our world needs the unique gifts only YOU were born to share. The July's sky's deeper question is 'Why am I here at this time on Earth? What unique gift did my soul come to bring and how am I meant to share my gifts with the world?' Making this the perfect time for reflecting on what your soul purpose is at this transformational time in humanity's evolution.For many of us, this may be the deepest invitation of this lifetime… the dialogue we have with our soul, the Creator, the Cosmos. If you're not in dialogue with those questions then, as poet Mary Oliver wrote, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild & precious life?” Other notable planetary-cosmic events:Mercury in Cancer, retrogradeFour planets at 4 degrees, described as "Barbault's BasketEmergence of feminine energy through the Dwarf planetsContact for Kathy: Kathy Harmon-LuberCertified Sound Therapy Practitioner | Reiki Master | Award-winning photographer | poet | musicianBest-selling Author, "Suffering to Thriving: Your Toolkit for Navigating Your Healing Journey", SufferingToThriving.comHappy New Moon,MaeRuth Let's have an Astrology Conversation.  I look forward to seeing you.  Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.  As a Creative Depth Coach, I provide guidance, support and soul insights on how to discover, explore and navigate your life by  recognizing your magnificent "Creative Genius".

When the whirlwind took Elijah up into heaven, Elisha didn't just inherit a cloak—he inherited a double portion of a heavy prophetic mantle. If your life currently feels like a series of dry brooks, empty oil jars, or overwhelming spiritual battles, Elisha's ministry provides the exact roadmap to help you find the living water. Summary: In this episode, we deep dive into the masterclass of faith found in 2 Kings 1–13. We move from the final, fiery testimonies of Elijah to the intimate, life-giving miracles of Elisha, tracking how God continues to validate and empower His chosen servants across generations. Passing the Mantle: We break down the beautiful, unwavering loyalty of Elisha to Elijah and what it truly means to receive a "double portion" of spiritual power through humility and close proximity. The Widow's Oil and the Shunammite's Son: We analyze the biology of these miracles, where God takes the tiny resources we have available—a single pot of oil or a small chamber—and multiplies them to preserve life. The Healing of Naaman: We dissect the pride of the Syrian captain who wanted a spectacular display but was commanded to wash seven times in a muddy river. Discover why small, simple things are the hardest for the natural man to accept. Eyes to See: When the Syrian army surrounds Elisha and his servant, we see the ultimate contrast between physical sight and spiritual vision. Learn how to look past the visible opposition to see the mountains filled with horses and chariots of fire. The Power of Elisha's Bones: We conclude with the bizarre and beautiful final miracle of Elisha, where even his dead bones have the power to resurrect a man, proving that our covenant connections to the prophets outlive mortality itself. Call-to-Action:Are you standing at the edge of your own "Jordan River," wondering if the power that was with the giants of the past is still available to you today? What is the "muddy river" the Lord is asking you to wash in right now? Let's talk about it in the comments below.

Welcome to another episode of ADHD-ish, where we explore the lived realities, hidden challenges, and unique gifts of being neurodivergent in business and life.Today's episode is an intimate conversation between friends, colleagues, and fellow neurodivergent entrepreneurs.Returning guest, Dr. Naketa Ren Thigpen, is an expert at the intersection of relationships and entrepreneurship, who has made the decision to forgo a formal diagnosis, while fully accepting her ADHD traits.Together, we explore how trauma, workarounds, and unapologetic authenticity shape both personal growth and professional impact.3 Key Takeaways:Workplace Dynamics Are Deeply Human: So many organizational challenges stem from unresolved personal issues that show up at work. As Naketa says, bringing relational intelligence into organizations is the next frontier for trust, performance, and true inclusion.Diagnosis Isn't Required for Legitimacy: You don't need a formal diagnosis to embrace your neurodivergent identity. For some, building effective "workarounds" is enough to thrive—labels can be empowering for some and unnecessary for others, as powerfully shared.Hyperfocus Is a Super Tool—With Boundaries: Our ability to “hear the words and the music”—to focus deeply and be truly present—is a neurodivergent gift. Guarding these focus states with strong boundaries is key to making the most of them, both in business and personal growth.About today's guest, Dr Naketa Ren Thigpen Dr. Naketa Ren Thigpen is the Architect of Intimacy in Innovation, the world's foremost Balance (and) Relationship Advisor, and Co-Founder and CEO of ThigPro Balance (and) Relationship Management Institute.Embodying her wild & rare nature, she moved beyond traditional therapy into something the industry hadn't seen.Double Board Certified and doctorate-trained in Relationship Dynamics, Dr. Naketa licenses Applied Relational Intelligence Systems to mid-market organizations, certifying their own leaders to reduce turnover, stabilize trust, and accelerate decisions from the inside.Her private advisory, BAR COTERIE, serves a select few bold enough to recalibrate success without regret.

The fastest way to feel stuck is to believe your mind's harshest stories. William goes straight at a different possibility: what if you knew beyond any doubt you are creator incarnate? How would that change your thoughts and actions?You will hear a practical, repeatable method for embodiment: asking your body to vibrate faster and welcoming more of your higher levels forward, so emotional structures and rigid beliefs can loosen. We unpack the “river and rocks” metaphor for judgment and energy flow, then get very concrete about clearing: notice the judgment, see that you have outgrown it, and wave goodbye until it releases. The core takeaway is simple and challenging: the mind can mislead you, but the heart will not.Expanding your awareness allows your uniquedness to be freed. Please click subscribe. Join us next time.

Each Sunday we begin our liturgy with “welcome to Vox as participants and hosts of our liturgy. Liturgy means the work of the people, and this morning we are all invited to care for and serve one another.” On this Sunday after Pentecost, Christopher Mack considers how we work out this “work of the people” in our being and in relationship to one another in a pace and posture that gives our faith legs for the longhaul.  [Genesis 21:7-18; Romans 12:1-8]   Reflection Questions: Is there a situation in your life where you are invited to separate hating evil from loving a person malformed by that very injustice? Where might you invite joy to accompany your sorrow? What is the Work of the People you are being drawn to work out in your own life this week?

This episode sets the stage for a collection of engrossing conversations with experts navigating the ever-evolving landscape of personal and professional transformation. Prepare to embark on a journey where change is not merely inevitable but an opportunity to redefine oneself.As we delve into the theme of reinvention, Myrna draws from her personal experiences and shares compelling stories of transformation.

What happens when profound grief becomes the doorway to spiritual awakening?In this powerful conversation, Julie Cluff shares how the tragic loss of her two youngest children transformed her understanding of God, angels, the afterlife, and spiritual connection.

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus in a culture that feels increasingly corrupted and confusing? Today we wrap up our series on the Lord's Prayer by looking at the final and perhaps most complex petition: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.Join Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and our favorite special guest Seth Erre as we navigate the tension between the joy of summer break and the heavy realities of the world around us. We start the show with some lighthearted updates about Seth's summer school, an upcoming trip to Kings Island, and a surprise for a friend. However, the conversation quickly turns to the importance of creating counter-narratives in a world that often devalues life and marginalized communities.In the second half of the episode, we dive deep into the Greek word peirasmos to understand the nuance between being tested and being tempted. We explore how Jesus re-enacted the story of Israel by succeeding in the wilderness where they failed, and how his prayer in the garden of Gethsemane provides the ultimate model for our own spiritual lives. It is a deep dive into moving from a posture of entitlement to one of gratitude while staying awake to the subversive work of the Kingdom.Chapters0:00 Intro and Summer Break Updates3:15 Kings Island and Band Surprises6:42 Mike's Pickleball Injury and Seth's Kindness9:55 Navigating Political and Cultural Turmoil14:10 Muscular Christianity and Energy Drinks17:30 Counter-Narratives and Down Syndrome Joy21:45 Women in Ministry and Active Peacemaking26:20 Winning vs. Faithfulness in Following Jesus30:45 The Final Petition: Lead Us Not Into Temptation34:10 Testing vs. Temptation in the Bible39:05 Jesus in the Wilderness and the Exodus Story43:20 The Garden of Gethsemane and the Cup of Suffering48:50 Embodying the Lord's Prayer53:15 Modern Testing: Entitlement vs. Gratitude57:40 Staying Awake in Community59:50 Outro and How to Support UsAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

What if your life is not just a series of random events, but a myth unfolding in real time?In this episode of Shifting Dimensions, I sit down with mythologist, author, speaker, and story shaper Allison Steger to explore how mythology helps us understand the deeper patterns of our lives. Allison has spent more than 20 years working with myths, archetypes, ritual, and storytelling to help individuals and organizations better understand the stories they are living and the stories they are ready to transform.Together, we explore the healing power of myth, the heroic journey, archetypes, dream work, ritual, and what it means to turn pain into wisdom. Allison explains how myths are not just ancient stories from the past, but living maps that can help us navigate grief, trauma, identity shifts, spiritual awakenings, creative blocks, and major life transitions.Where to find Allison:Allison Stieger's WebsiteSend us Fan MailSupport the showLove the show?

June is changing the rules. Are you ready for the Return of Magic? After a relentless period of shedding, truth-bombing, and “rip-the-Band-Aid-off” energy, the first week of June brings a massive, fated frequency shift. We are moving out of the cocoon and into a three-point arc of initiation, grace, and new human embodiment. In this episode, Sabrina Lynn reveals the “Return to Magic” arc moving through June 1st–7th, showing you how to stop watching the “avalanche” of the old world and start attuning to the gold veins of abundance available right now. The 3-Point Arc of June 1st–7th: 1⃣ The Nervous System Exhale (Mon-Tue): As Mercury enters Cancer and the Sun sextiles Saturn, a sacred reprieve opens. This isn’t just rest; it's the “landing” required to access your deepest intuitive gold. 2⃣ The Return to Magic (Wed-Sat): The “Grace-Bombing Magicians” (Venus, Isis, Osiris, & Hygeia) are in a high-initiatory conjunction. We explore how to stop watching the “avalanche” of the old world and start attuning to the miracles hidden in the collapse. 3⃣ The Crossroads of Destiny (Sun): Hecate and Mary Magdalene meet on the Nodes of Fate while Uranus squares the destiny line. This is the “Chicken Wings” moment—the choice to stop crawling and finally start using your wings. What we dive into: • The Avalanche vs. The Gold Veins: Why where you place your life force this week determines your next 6 months. • High-Voltage Initiations: Why you might feel “crunchy” or “on the edge” right before a massive breakthrough. • The Mother of Magic: An invitation into the vast mystery school of the Goddess Isis. • Embodying the New Human: Moving from deconstruction to actual frequency embodiment. It's time to move from deconstruction to actual frequency embodiment. Are you ready to claim the magic?

Coming up in September right here in Missouri.Earthprayer!My special offering for May is an Earthprayer series unfolding via the Goddess Magic Mystery School. This series includes weekly live practices, daily posts, inspiring rituals, and FOUR printable card decks for exploring our daily themes.Life's Bits and Pieces:May I remember I am not here to watch from the edges, but to co‑create in the ceremony of life's unfolding.May I choose with wise discernment what I will tend in my cauldron of creation.May I return, again and again, to my own sacred center.And, may I trust that some wishes are meant to wander on the wind,carrying my magic farther than I can see.reading: (to self) Living in Process—while I have a couple of complaints about this book in terms of what feels like missing information/explanation, I am really enjoying the exploration of living in process, remembering the this earth, this world, this life is not static, it is an unfolding and each of us has a process to live and explore.(to kids) Aenir, book three in the Seventh Tower series—I actually finished the second book, The Castle, in between April's newsletter and this one. I'm still enjoying this series, in which everything the main character has thought to be true about his life and world unravels as he discovered how much more lies outside the shadowy boundaries of his life. (listening to with Tanner): Brian's Hunt—the final book in the survival classic series that developed after Hatchet. Since I last wrote, we also listened to The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return. We also continued our Gary Paulsen festival by listening to Northwind, which is about a Viking-era type of boy who has to survive alone on the sea.(listening to by self): Sisters in the Wind—I've barely begun this one, as I only recently finished listening to Warrior Girl, Unearthed. This is the third book following Firekeeper's Daughter, but it actually takes place temporally between the events of Firekeeper and Warrior Girl. I actually liked Warrior Girl, Unearthed more than Firekeeper's Daughter overall, but I was really left frustrated by the many holes in the ending.

What does play mean to you today?Where might you be trying to “straighten” what is meant to be delightfully cattywampus? What would it feel like to bless the imperfect instead of fixing it?Where can you soften in your life—physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually?What rough edges are currently rubbing at your spirit, and how might you soften them?Where do you feel “thin,” leaky, or drained in your life or energy body right now?What fears or resentments are hurting you from the inside out? What would it look like to begin releasing even a little of that today?If your heart could speak freely, what would it say it needs in order to remember how to be whole?What idea, project, or dream are you ready to make manifest in this season?Affirmations:I allow playfulness to enrich my life.I find pleasure in the small moments.I follow what pleases me.I am rich in so many ways.I understand the sacred nature of the cattywampus way.I embrace the tender beauty in imperfection.I am playful.I dance in the love light of a benevolent Mother Goddess.I am rooted in love.I pause and return to center.I breathe deep and listen.I allow myself to delight in the sweetness of life.I am open to ease in the present.I soften and rediscover sweetness.I remember I am already whole.I am fierce and wild.Inhabiting the crossroads…I watch the orioles,orange and black embersagainst a backdrop of green.They do not know what is on my lists.Standing under this sky,this day,I remember:when we let the litany of the undonerun away with us,we forget to inhabit the real.The orioles are here today.Tomorrow is still only a rumor.Sometimes I feel like I've been “camping out” at a long, extended crossroads—combination of midlife re-evaluation, changing family constellations and needs, and simply living in the in‑between on a changing earth.Midlife invites us to recognize and hold the reality that we can't live every possible life and can't say yes to every shimmering door.But you can:+Listen for your own full yes from the wise guide within. +Make peace with the paths that must pass you by.+Trust that new doors appear because you let others close.A mini blessing for today:“May I choose with wise discernment, even when it means letting good things go.”Embodying the Goddess: Guest Video about BeautySo pleased to share this guest video from Cynthia Abulafia, the author of Embodying the Goddess with you as a special subscriber bonus this month!Where the magic is…This is where the magic is, right where we are, where we touchthe mighty mystery,step into the sacred, and ease into the boundless, right where it touches us.Gently, now, we invite ourselves to remember.Bravely, now, we invite ourselves to reclaim.Firmly, now, we invite ourselves to return.We need not seek the absolute or long for the holy,we need only to open our eyes and reach out our hands, right here,right now, we have already arrived.Sending love to all of you.Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.

Improvement efforts stall for reasons every CI practitioner knows by heart: unclear problem statements, missing data, inconsistent teams, rejected countermeasures. Anne Frewin argues those are symptoms. The root cause is the environment leaders create -- and Gallup's data backs her up: 70% of team engagement comes down to the manager.In this episode, recorded as part of the KaiNexus Continuous Improvement Webinar Series, Anne walks host Mark Graban through her LEAD model -- four leadership mindsets that build the psychological safety improvement work depends on. For each one, she offers a single behavior you can put to work right away:Leading with courage means talking about problems, not just making them visible -- moving teams from firefighting to "smelling the smoke." Embodying trust means going to Gemba with real curiosity: standing still, observing, listening to tone as much as words. Anchoring in clarity means communicating so it sticks -- frequent, visual, purposeful, two-way. Driving improvement means inviting ideas and letting people fix what bugs them, using three simple guardrails: Is it safe? Does everyone who needs to know, know? Can it be undone?Anne also makes the case for treating employees as a key stakeholder alongside owners and customers, and shows what changes when you do. Engaged organizations see 63% fewer safety incidents, 21% lower turnover, 32% fewer defects, and 23% higher profitability.The conversation continues into a wide-ranging Q&A on writing better problem statements, creating space for people to surface problems without fear, the limits of ROI thinking, and the hard work of coaching managers who rose through the ranks by being the boss.Anne Frewin is a speaker, coach, and facilitator, and the founder of Employee Centric Leadership LLC. She has more than 15 years of experience implementing Lean principles across healthcare, biomedical, manufacturing, and professional services.Watch the video, view the slides, and read the full recapBrowse 100+ free recorded webinarsTips, articles, and case studies on leadership and continuous improvementLearn more about KaiNexus

In this message, Katherine Sikma Wadsworth explores the holiness of the human body, challenging dualistic theology that elevates the soul while sidelining or shaming our physical selves. Moving through creation, incarnation, resurrection, and ascension, she shows how Scripture affirms that God meets us in and through our bodies, and that Jesus' ongoing embodied life is good news for our own flesh. She closes by offering a blessing over congregants' bodies, inviting them to receive their physical selves as sacred gifts and primary places of encounter with God.

This New Moon in Taurus,  "Soul Worth is Your Core Essence".  This earth elemental  provides a grounding and steadying energy in the life creation process. It is where the “stick-to-it attitude can be seen. This zodiac sign embodies the concepts, ideas and values of creating and building something of worth with lasting value. Taurus is the focal point for bringing ideas into form.  Taurus is the complement to Scorpio, even while referred to as it's opposite sign in astrology discussions.  The basic relationship is that the 2nd house associated with Taurus, is where you begin to recognize your own valued self-possessed resources.  Scorpio, 8th house is how we exchange with others our valued resources, and they with us.  (See previous episode, "Full Moon in Scorpio). One of the key aspects of Taurus is its association with manifestation of physical possessions, and the flow of money as a measure of resources, usable talents, abilities, and skills for exchange. This is the time to reflect on creating both inner and outer heart-centered connections, which offer experiences of personal truth.  Instead of setting intentions from a place of being “not enough or good enough”now is the time to embrace your “Whole Self and Soul Worthiness”.Taurus is the opportunity to express deepest appreciation for being able to live life from Soul awareness. Living in the “Soul Worthiness” way is claiming the ability to be a creator with the Universal Source.  This New Moon in Taurus is an invitation to reshape your mind to create a meaningful, passionate life that will stand the test of time. The Taurus archetype is the awareness of the “spark” animating the physical body.   “I Manifest” principle. The Taurus energy is the nourishing of being through self worth.This New Moon in Taurus brings us into a profound awareness of being a part of Nature.  Of the three Earth signs, Capricorn and Virgo, Taurus brings us into relationship with our physicality.  Every person possesses a unique emanation and energetic life frequency.  When a person actually listens to one's body in cooperation with mind and heart, this comes together as a unique type of intelligence. How do we access our unique personal body intelligence and inner wisdom? Our bodies literally speak to us through the feeling states.  For example,  you get up in the morning and you notice the birdsong, and interestingly, listening to the birds feels calming to you. In fact, you notice your whole body feels rather relaxed. On the other hand, you are walking along on a city street, there are lots people whizzing by, as well as the sounds of heavy machinery drilling, earth moving machines rumbling, and diesel fuel smells are in the air.   Notice how your body sends you signals which are much different from the  relaxation of the birdsong.The sign of Taurus provide us with greater understanding of how our magnificent bodies serve as our central "anchoring" point.  The more we observe, listen and feel our own body-wise connection the more we can live greater heart-centered and Soul led lives.  In essence, we need body/mind/spirit awareness.  During this lunar cycle, the Taurus energy is providing an energetic framework for understanding how to ground and regulate our nervous systems, through tuning into the Earth's frequency.  Currently, on a daily basis millions of people are voicing their feelings about emotional, bodily, mental unrest and psycho-spiritual disconnection.  This New Moon is an invitation from the Universe to seek a quiet space from inside self.  Inevitably the question comes up, "how can I feel peaceful, and where is restfulness to be found? It's inside each one of us, and the guide to self understanding is through our bodies, as the gateways to heart-centered insights. Prosperity and Abundance through Self-WorthTaurus is a feminine and  fixed earth sign. Sound alchemy,  your voice is deeply associated with the sign of Taurus.  Singing, chanting, toning, humming, any sonic activity has a grounding effect, which helps to regulate the nervous system. Dancing, gardening, drumming and movement put us in alignment with our home planet, Earth.This sign represents the ability to create, produce and bring an idea into fruition.  In our astrological map, it's the area of life where a person will persist and eventually achieve success, as a result of embracing one's physical body wisdom, sensual and tactile connection. There's understanding of self-worth, sacred  valuing, and inner soul awareness.This sign is associated with the 2nd house on the zodiac wheel.  It embodies the talents, gifts, abilities, developed skills, resources, feelings of self-worth and self-esteem.  The guiding/ruling planet is Venus which provides the inner awareness of sight, smell, taste, touch, sound, as well as responses to expressions of beauty. The 2nd  house reveals how the core attributes mentioned above are manifested in form, especially through financial flow, lived-values, self worth, sensual pleasure, peace, harmony and the ability to relate to others in all kinds of relationships.The placement of Taurus in your “Star Chart”, is the area of life where you are learning to balance financial security, self-expression, self-worth and clarify how to embrace physical reality.  It is the overall “value center”.  It's important to fully recognize that your self-worth does not depend on what other people say, or tell you who you are, or are "suppose to be".The Following Prompts will help in learning how to use your astrology chart as a guide for connecting deeper with the Taurus energy that will help you be more present for yourself.New Moon in Taurus with Venus Rulership/guidanceJournal Prompts:Natal Venus sign and house placement, and sign on cusp of 2nd house?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Describe 5 important valued self-resources(gifts, talents, skills, inner “treasures)                  Describe Self-Worth and Self-Care rituals that hold importance for you.  (Example: Gardening is often a really important nature and self-care connection for Taurus.)Claiming the Practical Magic of Taurus Touch, taste, smell, wind blowing, and to feel all the sensual pleasures.  In order for the growth process to occur, there has to be a life giving exchange between the Earth and the seed. In other words, this is the sign that reminds us of the energy of growth, of which every nutrient and aspect of life comes from the Earth Herself. This New Moon in Taurus is a powerful time to observe your own way of being connected to Earth, and how to personally contribute to renewal of what needs changing.  Journal Prompt:Describe how you can bring more “earthy magic” into your life.  Create a collage depicting something you value. Let's have an Astrology Conversation.  I look forward to seeing you.  Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.  As a Creative Depth Coach, I provide guidance, support and soul insights on how to discover, explore and navigate your life by  recognizing your magnificent "Creative Genius".

In this episode: appreciation, mindfulness, gratitude practice, self-compassion, intentional livingEpisode SummaryAdam leads the Mindful Fire Legends community through a guided appreciation meditation. Beginning with breath awareness and meeting yourself exactly where you are, the practice invites you to embody appreciation — first for the breath itself, then for someone you deeply love, and finally for aspects of your own life and who you are. The session closes with a reflection on how to carry appreciation into your day and express it to those around you.Resources MentionedFree Envisioning Guide: mindfulfire.org/startJoin Mindful Fire Legends to practice live: mindfulfire.org/joinKey TakeawaysAppreciation begins with the breath — each inhale and exhale sustains your life, and tuning into that simple fact is the foundation of the practice.Bringing a specific person to mind and letting feelings of appreciation "bubble up like bubbles off the bottom of a boiling pot" deepens the emotional resonance of gratitude.Appreciating traits about yourself and the opportunities in your own life shifts the inner lens from self-judgment to self-compassion.The practice doesn't end on the cushion — the session closes by inviting listeners to express appreciation to those around them in small, concrete ways throughout the rest of their day.PS: Introducing the…

Work with Christina: book a human design + nervous system session.https://embody-your-design.com/https://www.instagram.com/embody_your_design——Show Notes:Christina's origin: the 2020 breakdown, finding human design at her lowest, and discovering she was a generator with no energy. "I had to figure out a way how to get out of my bed onto the couch because my body was so drained." Knowledge piled up. Nothing changed.The missing link nobody in human design teaches: the body holds trauma, so "just listen to your body" is a half-truth. Without nervous system capacity, you can't feel your sacral, trust your authority, or live what your chart says you are.Quitting the safest job in Germany on a sacral "hell yes" — and freezing for a year and a half afterward. The decision was right. Her body didn't have the capacity to metabolize the consequences. So she blamed human design. Then she found the nervous system.Human design as experiment, not another box: refusing the ego's favorite trap, "I'm just a generator, so I can't initiate." A chart is a starting point, not a permission slip.A clean middle finger to manifestation culture: "If someone says, you just have to live an abundant life, like, go fuck yourself." You can't manifest your way out of rent. The hated job, frustration as protector and motivator, and the baby-step exit plan that doesn't repeat the freeze.The village of energy types — manifestors spark, generators and mani-gens build, projectors see the big picture and guide, reflectors mirror the health of the whole. Nothing gets built without the full ecosystem.The "I'm just a generator" wound: 70% of humanity, doing the actual building, raised to believe work can't be joyful, which is what kills the sacral. The fire runs on joy. Most generators are running on water.The generator plateau: the level where nothing seems to move, where frustration screams at you to quit, where the actual work is staying. "Sometimes this is life testing if I really want to achieve this goal."Lindsey shares publicly for the first time: she stopped over-functioning last July expecting relief, spaciousness, energy. Instead, less energy, more closed, more irritable, months of emotional flatness. "The romanticized fantasy of, I'm gonna stop over-functioning and it's gonna feel so much better — didn't happen."Christina names the wave: a tribal/individual/collective emotional wave that doesn't build smoothly, it climbs in jagged steps over weeks or months before it crests. "Some things just suck. That's life being a human on this planet." No cure being sold here.Active waiting vs. passive waiting: projectors aren't supposed to sit on their hands; generators aren't supposed to wait for life to knock. Expose yourself, follow what lights you up, even when it has nothing to do with making money.The food example and connection charts: Christina is active digestion, her boyfriend is passive. Without human design, "you never have food when I'm here" becomes a story about being inconsiderate. With it, bring your own snack. The daily nuance that prevents made-up conflict.

Most leaders don't need another strategy, another 10-step checklist, or another theoretical framework to study. What they need is the ability to embody what they have already learned about leadership to have more agency to respond to challenges when the stakes are high. In this episode, we move beyond the classroom and into the "laboratory of the self." You'll hear directly from leaders who have participated in the Roads Less Traveled (RLT) group coaching program —executives and entrepreneurs who realized that "Power Skills" like empathy, intercultural communications, presence, and resilience aren't things you learn in a PowerPoint; they are things you embody in your nervous system. Why Presence Outperforms the Plan In a volatile 2026 landscape, the leaders who thrive are those who have moved from "knowing" how to lead to being the kind of leader they want to be. By listening to those who have completed the RLT group coaching journey, we explore: The Framework Fallacy.

Love is often abstract, and not fully alive. In this practice, with the supportive image and felt sense of a smile, we are guided to awaken loving in our body, mind and whole being.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music  

On today's episode of the CLS Experience, host Craig Siegel sits down with relationship teacher and author Lorin Krenn for a powerful conversation about sacred love, embodiment, and truth in conscious partnership. They explore the idea that you are not here to wake others up, but to awaken your own soul and embody your truth so fully that others rise in your presence. Lorin explains why trying to fix or coach your partner often backfires, and how asking permission to share reflections creates co-creation instead of ego conflict. The discussion reframes relationships as vehicles for evolution, describing sacred love as a refining fire that either burns away illusion or strengthens alignment. They unpack nervous system activation versus chronic emotional inflammation, modern commitment struggles in men, father absence, integrity, shame, and why truth is the highest form of intimacy. The conversation also expands into business as spiritual growth, scarcity versus creation mindset, and a powerful death visualization practice designed to cut through ego and clarify what truly matters. Let's go deep. 3:56 You're Not Here to Wake Others Up8:30 Coaching Your Partner vs Embodying the Change12:21 Sharing Feedback Without Triggering Ego27:59 Radical Self Awareness and Ending Self Deception38:47 Integrity, Shame and the Divine Masculine44:09 Humility, Service and Doing the WorkCheck out Lorin on Instagram HERE: Check out Lorin's Website HERE:Check out Lorin's Book HERE:Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE:To join our community click here.➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796➤ INSTAGRAM➤ FACEBOOK➤ TIKTOK➤ YOUTUBE➤ WEBSITE➤ LINKEDIN➤ X
