Podcasts about group practice

Ali Boehm has learned a lot about what makes her happy since starting out as a solo massage therapist. First, she grew a successful group of 15 outstanding providers with retail, classes, staff training and more.  That itself came with it's share of challenges, and wins - all of them important.But then, when the time was right, she walked away from it all, opening the door to an even better business and a happier life - a decision that took tremendous courage.In this interview, we explored what it really means to build a business that fits your life, even when your life changes. Listen, and you'll learn…How to stand out creatively in a well established field, with many ways to bring in revenue.Why she started hiring for attitude, and how she developed her staff internally.Why not all clients are created equal and what that means for your practice. The importance of boundaries…and the many and varied ways this plays out in a business.How sometimes the toughest times can lead to an even better business.Such a great conversation we had! Enjoy!~Wendy  xoxoP.S. “Okay Wendy - THAT was interesting….!“ If that's what you find yourself saying as you listen, would you please share a little love with a 5 star review and a few words over on Apple Podcasts or Spotify? Your reviews help us get this in front of those who need it. Thank you! _______________TODAY'S GUEST:  ALI BOEHMAli Boehm, of the Massage Business Mama, is a licensed massage therapist and certified herbal therapist in Steamboat, Colorado.

"Everyday I say to myself, today I will begin." - St. Anthony of the Desert Today, we begin.  This very moment, we begin... remembering that we ARE what's appearing as this moment, we are the substratum of the Now, we are the  Christ.  We celebrate the birth of Jesus today, the birth of the awareness of the Christ among us, and now, the birth of our awareness of the Christ within us.  Repeat this mantra by Herb Fitch, "I am not man or woman, I live the day as I, Spirit", and notice how you're already, effortlessly detached from the body.   There's some space (t)here, naturally.  You, as Awareness, don't have to try to detangle your Self from the body, you already are the witness.  You already are Love.  Be That, by feeling It and remembering to feel It all day.  "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being."

You're feeling absolutely fantastic this morning! But not for the reason you think. You don't feel good because it's Christmas Eve. You don't feel good because you know what's under the tree, or even because you're off work or have no professional Zoom meetings tomorrow (likely for a whole week!), or that your favorite food is being prepared, or that your playlist is FIRE and the Temptations are going in on ‘Silent Night'.All of these things may very well seem to be happening, but they're not causing that quiet-Joy you're aware of. You're just presently in alignment... allowing yourself to feel good, to experience God. You're currently BEing your true Self! This is your natural state— one of uncaused joy, ease, love, relaxation and peace. What people call ‘The Christmas Spirit' is your original nature, and you can feel this way even on your first day back to work, if you give yourself permission.God didn't come closer this morning, and It won't get further away next week. We just changed the way we are living in this moment. And now we must keep living this way... remembering to recognize that the Light is ALWAYS on inside. That we are this Light.If you can stop waiting for special occasions to remember this background Joy, to feel Go(o)d, to be yourSelf, your life will change drastically from the inside out and very rapidly. I promise you. #MerryChristmasWith you in and AS Christhood,@curlynikki▶▶LOVE CHARGING STATION, Live, Daily, Group Practice-  6:30am ET (and Forum!)https://forum.curlynikki.com/▶▶Join our new forum, GoOD Friends and enter the Mala Giveaway!Support the show:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings________________________________________Today's Quotes:"We all think of the Lord when troubled,never when at peace.But if we held our faith during peace,there would be no trouble."-Kabir Ke Dohe via IG“This is the supreme meditation, this is the supreme worship: the continuous and unbroken awareness of the indwelling presence, inner light or consciousness. While doing whatever one is doing— seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing or talking— one should realize one's essential nature as pure consciousness. Thus does one attain liberation.” - The Yoga VasisthaSupport the show

Like Rumi said, you've been knocking on this door,chanting your mantras,practicing your breathing, reading scripture,sitting for meditation,you've been knocking,praying, ceaselessly, and finally,the door opens...and you see that you've been knocking from the inside. You're already inside,in Herein Himwith me,we're here together, as One.And the world is new.  I Love you, Niknikki@curlynikki.com ▶▶LOVE CHARGING STATION, Live, Daily, Group Practice-  6:30am ET (and Forum!)https://forum.curlynikki.com/▶▶Join our new forum, GoOD Friends and enter the Mala Giveaway!Support the show:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings________________________________________Today's Quotes:“I have lived on the lipof insanity, wanting to know reasons,knocking on a door. It opens.I've been knocking from the inside.”-Rumi"In oneself lies the whole world, and if you know how to look and learn, then the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either that key or the door to open, except yourself."-J. Krishnamurti"The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life."-Eckhart Tolle."Real death is death of the ego.Real birth is to dwell in one's natural state."-Ramana Paravidyopanishad "Your mind will tell you go somewhere else, go do this and go do that, keep searching, keep looking. It will never tell you there's nothing to look for. It will never tell you there's nothing to do. It will never tell you just be yourself, awaken.It will put you through all kinds of trials and tribulations. It will even make you believe that the more you suffer, the greater the value. But if you're wise, you will simply observe, and watch your mind telling you all these things. You will not fight, because your mind will always win.You will simply dissolve your mind through observation, through becoming the witness, or by asking "to whom do these thoughts come?" And the mind will grow weaker. But it will really fight you. It will cause you to observe many dastardly things in this world, and perhaps some upheavals in your life also. To make you believe in your mind and its power. I guess that's what Jesus meant when he said "Get thee behind me Satan!"In other words his mind was trying to tell him things are wrong, you're wasting your time. So he named his mind Satan. And told it "don't bother me, don't come up with all these things: I don't believe in you, you're a liar." That's exactly what you must do. Let the mind show us the worst. Allow the ego to do what it wants.But you be the observer, the witness. Hold on tight to the 'I. And follow the I thread to the heart. And you'll start laughing for you'll come to the conclusion, there never was a mind, there never was an I, there never was an ego, there never were problems, there never was a world, there never was a personal God, there never was karma, there's no such thing as enlightenment, there's no such thing as awakening. You are already That.  So be it."-Robert AdamsSupport the show

Remember who you are when you're in that airport, or doing that last minute shopping trip. When you find yourself in line, find this Peace in that line. Find your smile in that line. Remember (t)His truth in that line, and It will relax your shoulders, It will relax your stomach, It will relax that belief that you're the one standing in that line. That line is happening in you. That store is happening in you,and then you are the Light of that store. Keep catching yourself, and letting yourself go. Catching yourself, and letting yourself go. Catching yourself believing in the world, catching yourself believing in others, catching yourself in fear, catching yourself in worry, catching yourself pretending to be what you're not.You are the Light of the world.  You are Amazing Grace.  How sweet, Your Sound.

All of you who are patiently waiting,take me to your Self.Don't dismiss me from your mindand don't let your inner voicesdespise me; don't forget me at anytime or place; be watchful..."-Alan Jacobs, 'Thunder' from The Gnostic Gospels"When we close our physical eyes we see darkness inside but as we cross this void of darkness following the meditation practice of the Saints, there is Light. Beyond the silence there is Sound."-James Bean via IG @santmat"Be within your body. Light the inner lamp that your within and without may sparkle with Radiance Divine. In Its brilliance let the shadow of your karmas fade.  The NAAM help you steer through this ocean of life and death."-Kabir"I Am the Light of the world," declared Jesus (John 8:12), but he also said, 'you are the Light of the world. (Matthew 5:I4). A paradox? Or, perhaps, insight into the essential unity between Christ and creation that forms the foundation of the mystical life?The light that shines in us is the light of Christ shining through us. This is not something we have to make happen; it is something we must allow to happen. Not something we achieve, something we receive.Yet to bask in that Christ-light within, we need to open ourselves to receive it.The sunflower turns over the course of the day so that its blossom always faces the sun. Likewise, mystics continually recalibrate their lives to embrace the Divine light.

Or they're parked in our garage. Or we live in them.Don't put your hope into things that change- relationships, money talents, beauty, even health. Set your sights on the one thing that can never change: trust in your heavenly Father."-via IG @patridance_starfire144 The Holy Spirit is more real to me then you are!-Kathryn Kuhlman"When people smile, it doesn't mean they are doing good, it means that they have chosen to smile. If someone's happy, that doesn't necessarily mean everything is going right in their life.  It just means they've chosen to shift their attention to their blessings and derive the strength to face and fight their problems."-Gaur Gopal Das"Let your heart constantly beat with the thought, "God, God, God" - God all the twenty-four hours of the day, God as Love, God as Light, God as Omnipotence, God as Omniscience, God as Peace, God as unlimited Happiness, God as infinite Blessedness, God as an all-seeing Presence, God as an all-loving Father, God as an indestructible, Eternal, Absolute Truth, God as Beauty, Protection, Strength. Let your heart constantly beat with these words. This is the shortest way to God-experience."- Swami Omkarananda"Learn to live in such a way that those who know you, but don't know God, will come to know God because they know you."-St Teresa of Calcutta"This peace that the Teacher offers us is a seed. After it has taken root in good soil, it still must grow.  We are not yet in peace, for this peace is a process of becoming, a work that we accomplish—or rather that we allow to be accomplished—within us. Nowhere else will it be found, and no one can sell or rent it to us. There may well appear merchants of happiness with pacifiers that can calm the troubles of our days and nights for a while. But there are no merchants of beatitude. There is only a Presence that is to be discovered, and allowed to grow, in the very core of ourselves."-Leloup, Jean-Yves.

Every time you become aware of a worry thought about tomorrow or next week, pause and pray. Pause by listening for Silence instead of to the worry thought.  Remember that you're not thinking that worry thought.  That thought isn't yours.  You're simply listening to it... and you can choose to believe it or not.  You can choose to claim it or not.  You can choose to listen to Silence instead!And you pray by recognizing and feeling Go(o)d in the Silence.  You pray by repeating (hearing or becoming aware of) the above mantra, the truth that it isn't you that must face these problems, but God in you.  You pray by remembering that God in you has no problems, knows no problems, sees no problems. You pray by reaching and feeling for even 2% of the Love that is fully present in and AS that moment and by watching your experience of the moment and the seeming moment itself, shift.The awareness to pause and pray is the miracle, and it manifests as such.I Love you,Niknikki@curlynikki.com▶▶LOVE CHARGING STATION, Live, Daily, Group Practice-  6:30am ET (and Forum!)https://forum.curlynikki.com/▶▶Join our new forum, GoOD Friends and enter the Mala Giveaway!Support the show:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings________________________________________Today's Quotes:"Sometimes God challenges youto find strength you don't have.Only like this will you go beyondyour imagined limits.You must be pushed so farthat you are forced to be humble.Only then, when your prideand arrogance are crushed,will you discover muscles that are not yours.You will find and use the muscles of God.When you completely abandon yourself, your ego,this miracle becomes possible."-Mooji"Repeat this under your breath:It is no longer ________ (your name) who lives, but Christ who lives in  _________ (your name) who is going to boldly face and conquer any kind of problems." -@ThePrayingFashionistas via IG Support the show

If the house is on fire you will simply get out of it. You will not lose a single moment. You will not search for the teacher, you will not consult the scriptures. And you will not try to choose in what ways one has to come out, what means have to be adopted, and which door is the right door. These things are irrelevant when the house is on fire. When you know what attachment is, the house is on fire. You can put it aside.  There is no need to ask how. It is absolutely a fire, a hell. You can jump out of it. This sutra says: 'Toss attachment for body aside, realizing I am everywhere.'  And the moment you toss aside the attachment, you will realize you are everywhere. Because of this attachment you feel you are limited by the body. It is not the body which is limiting you; it is your attachment to it. It is not the body which is making a barrier between you and the reality; it is your attachment to it. Once you know what the attachment is not there, there is no body to you. Rather, the whole existence becomes your body; your body becomes a part of the total existence. Then it is not separate."-Osho. The Book of Secrets (p. 929). Osho International.

Esther Hicks said, 'the way you get the missing piece, is by not focusing on the piece that's missing.'Instead of focusing on your intention,focus on the Peace you have. Focus on Love. Focus on Presence.You focus on on what you already have an abundance of,  like the Name.Every time you notice an intention ,notice the Name,chant the Name of God, your chosen one,and in that moment you become the Chosen One, again.

Towser"How aligned you are, how you sit, stand, and breath, determines how your body functions and for how long it will function."-Sadhguru"If you walk into a very pristine forest where hardly any human beings have moved, if you just go in, close your eyes and sit, it is like you are sitting in a temple; you can actually feel this. There is a phenomenal amount of energy which supports you because the whole life process - from a microbe to a worm, to an insect, to a bird, to an animal, to a tree, to a plant - every one of them is living with this intention: they want to be something more than what they are right now. That intention creates a kind of consecration of its own, it creates a certain sacredness of its own. If you allow the planet to be just the way it was, and if you simply sit here or sleep, you will find the whole place will become like a consecrated space...This is the reason why yogis always withdrew into forests and mountain caves.  Because just sitting there, the intention of nature is crystal clear to you. The main thing is to grow beyond all limitations which are restricting you right now. That intention is being expressed by every grain of soil out there - don't miss it! If you become without intention, you will feel the intention of the Existence. When you become one with that, you travel so much more easily in that direction."-Sadhguru The Name I chant is Ram.  Support the show

Set to work while there is yet time and try to kindle the inner light.  In the hearth of the mind, ignite the fire of Self-inquiry or the fire of God's Name; fan it into a blazing flame by associating with the Holy and Wise, by prayer and meditation.  Little by little, this light will grow bright and steady and illumine you both inwardly and outwardly; thereby the path to Self-realization will be made easy."-Anandamayi Ma"At all times keep your mind immersed in the thought of God, so that there may be no possibility of straying into a path that leads to misery."-Anandamayi Ma"Another level of you will begin to be born, a level of you which faces the apparently solid world around you. You'll find your Soul replacing your mind. You'll find the senses bump into your Soul instead of your mind which acquiesces and your Soul says, "uh-uh, no, no."

From one Word proceed all things and all things tell of Him.  Love the Word better than the world."-The Imitation of Christ (remember the Word is the Divine Sound Stream) "As we pause on this second Sunday of Advent, let us be conscious that God is with us even as we "wait for the coming". God is close as the breath we breathe. We do not need to "get close to God"; we want to be conscious of how close God is to us. Isaiah, in the Hebrew scriptures, tells us, "By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your strength lies." (30:15)Prayer: Good and gracious God, teach me to trust and to wait for you to speak to me in the everyday events of my life. Open me to your presence in me and in those around me.  Amen."-The Assisi Institute "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."-Prov.3 Verses 5 to 6 "When the Lord God, the Holy Spirit, visits us [he says] and comes to us in the fullness of his ineffable goodness, then we have to stop praying and refrain from prayer itself. The praying soul speaks and offers up words, but at the descent of the Holy Spirit it must be utterly silent so that it can clearly hear and truly understand the words of eternal life which the Spirit condescends to bring to it."-St. Seraphim"There is a silence of the tongue. There is a silence of the whole body. There is a silence of the soul.  There is a silence of the mind, and there is a silence of the spirit." -Abraham of Nathpar, Syriac Mystic"Go deeper ...Past thoughts into silence.Past silence into stillness.Past stillness into the heart.Let Love consume ALL that is left of you.-Kabir"We've all seen those time-lapse movies that show flowers unfolding, and blooming very quickly.  Sometimes when I was sitting with my guru, I would catch him looking at me in a certain way, and I could sense that he was watching this flower of my being unfolding, just like those."-Ram Dass(Ram, mentioned as a mantra or chant in this episode is a Name of God in Hinduism)Support the show

Peace is the experience that strengthens our being yet confronts our lives in so many ways. Peace is the original state of the great quiet. When we learn how immense the Peace is, it flows in like a stream of light. Peace can seemingly come crashing down upon our lives if we do not know how to receive it. Peace can knock over our lives and all the walls we erect to protect ourselves from it. Peace can be very gentle, like waves lapping at the shore. But the power of peace can be frightening, at least in the beginning, for those who become aware how separate their lives have been from the presence in the silence. True peace can open questions about everything in our lives that is not peaceful.   With peace as our desire, sooner or later we may have no choice but to make peace with everyone and every part of our life." - Dr. Bruce Davis,  Monastery Without Walls: Daily Life in the Silence "And I am higher in.

See this entire moment, including these words, as a reflection of your Self... your consciousness... the invisible, Loving Awareness that you are.  You're looking from It, at your reflection that we call 'the world'.    We don't change the world/reflection by choosing and practicing new thoughts... the thoughts are the reflection!  We do it by recognizing that we are Love.. by choosing, feeling, and BEing Love.

That's why you see the seeking mechanism can't provide the unconditional love that we seek, because the unconditional love that we seek is actually who we already are."-Jeff FosterJeff Foster reading via IG-- https://www.instagram.com/p/ClazIk3s82E/?hl=enI've read and LOVE and highly recommend all of his beuatiful books, but this one is a great place to start if you feel like stopping :) -- The Way of RestBut this one, 'An Extraordinary Absence' was one of the books that kicked off my journey more than 10 years ago!

Let it. Adaption is necessary in this new state of flow. Allow the energy of your surroundings to be organic. What comes is as a result of your vibe. What goes is as a result of your vibe.

You don't have to perform well in order to receive My Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from Me, toward some sort of Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry: worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don't measure up to your expectations.Shift your focus from your performance to My radiant Presence. The Light of My Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love.  Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank Me for everything; trust in Me at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to My loving Presence.- @jesuscalling.daily via IG "Where we see waves we havea God who makes highways.Where we see dead ends, we havea God who makes a Red Sea Road.The brave trust Him unwaveringlyand know that it's okay if thingsfeel kinda unsteady when yourheart's fixed on Him because:Faith feels like waves.And your heart takes a deep breath,smiles wide, takes its own wildleap of faith and believes:The brave ignore waves."-Ann Voskamp"I  was a black ant,on a black stone,on a dark night,but God has found me."-Sufi ProverbSupport the show

View your mind like traffic that has nothing to do with you. Traffic that's on the other side of the road.  The kind of traffic that makes you say, 'whooo! Glad I'm not going that way!"  Don't get involved with it.  You're not stuck in it.  You're simply watching it. Every time a thought approaches, ask yourself, 'to whom does this thought come?' And pause... listen.  The answer is the silence.  The mind stops and leaves you in the remembrance, in the recognition that you were never out of Love... you weren't living in the outskirts of the Kingdom.  YOU ARE THE KINGDOM.  You're Home, in the City of God. And as long as you're feeling Love inside of you, you'll be consciously aware of Love manifest all around you... as you.

Never hold a thought, never drop the Thread.Watch and listen to your mind.  Notice when it's doing what it does.  Notice its judgements, criticisms, projections, conclusions.  Don't react. Don't respond. Don't try to stop them.  Just notice.  And then notice what else is present.  Listen to the Silence that the thoughts are coming and going in.  Feel that Silence... Joy, Love... the Bliss of the Self.  When you feel this Bliss, It puts the thoughts on transparency mode (like your noise canceling headphones).  Now you're no longer hypnotized by thinking... It's not the only thing you can hear.  Now you can also hear the Silence!  You can feel the Thread.  And It feels good.

You have the right; it's your inner domain. But instead of finding silence, you're going to listen to incessant chatter: “Why am I doing this? I have more important things to do. This is a waste of time. There's nobody in here but me. What's this all about?”Right on cue, there's your roommate. You may have a clear intention to be quiet inside, but your roommate won't cooperate. And it's not just when you try to be quiet. It has something to say about everything you look at: “I like it. I don't like it. This is good. That's bad.” It just talks and talks. You don't generally notice because you don't step back from it. You're so close that you don't realize that you're actually hypnotized into listening to it. Basically, you're not alone in there. There are two distinct aspects of your inner being. The first is you, the awareness, the witness, the center of your willful intentions; and the other is that which you watch. The problem is, the part that you watch never shuts up. If you could get rid of that part, even for a moment, the peace and serenity would be the nicest vacation you've ever had."-Singer, Michael A.. The Untethered Soul (p. 17)Support the show

Sounds strange but true. It's a blessing in disguise, believe it or not. If you handle it in the right way, and you work through it by not reacting to it, it will turn into something so beautiful you can't imagine. I can assure you of this.

Which means you have to, with eyes open, be able to keep your heart open in hell... And what it involves is bearing the unbearable. And who you really are can do it. So that who you think you are has to die in the process."-Ram Dass “Many misunderstandings and false beliefs about Christ will clear if you realize that there is no past or future in Christ. To say that Christ was or will be is a contradiction in terms. Jesus was. He was a man who lived two thousand years ago and realized divine presence, his true nature. And so he said: “Before Abraham was, I am.” He did not say: “I already existed before Abraham was born.” That would have meant that he was still within the dimension of time and form identity. The words I am used in a sentence that starts in the past tense indicate a radical shift, a discontinuity in the temporal dimension. It is a Zen-like statement of great profundity. Jesus attempted to convey directly, not through discursive thought, the meaning of presence, of self-realization. He had gone beyond the consciousness dimension governed by time, into the realm of the timeless. The dimension of eternity had come into this world. Eternity, of course, does not mean endless time, but no time. Thus, the man Jesus became Christ, a vehicle for pure consciousness. And what is God's self-definition in the Bible? Did God say, “I have always been, and I always will be?” Of course not. That would have given reality to past and future. God said: “I AM THAT I AM.” No time here, just presence.”- Excerpt From, 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle and Now...And NOW :) I Love youuuu!  Support the show

The transition to our realized Christhood changes our life from one of getting to one of letting. we let that mind be in us which was also in Christ Jesus: we let "the imprisoned splendor escape."  The whole purpose of our life changes as this enlightened awareness lifts consciousness. the kingdom is within not outside to get.  Through meditation we enter that kingdom and let it flow out from our conscious oneness with god. we are then a blessing to all we meet. we are no longer in bondage to getting: we are released into the joy of letting. "-A message for the ages - Joel Goldsmith " As you sit with me in the space of deliberate influence I will highlight the direction I have intended for you to travel. I will guide you clearly and precisely as you allow the influence of my spirit to make its mark, without resistance or opposition. I know sometimes you resist unknowingly and unintentionally. I know sometimes you resist, not because you want to resist my will, but because you do not recognize what I am saying. You do not recognize my voice, ways, or timing so you unintentionally resist what I'm giving you.Understand as you walk with me and continue to abide with me, all of these interactions will become more and more familiar as they happen more and more frequently. You will recognize My signature, and will see it clearly without question, and will do so from a greater distance. And with this capacity to discern more quickly and more accurately, you will be poised to cooperate with me more and more, operating with less and less confusion and misunderstanding, and more and more clarity and precision with the wisdom, discernment, and understanding I have given you."-Neil Vermillion, Daily Newsletter  @neilvermillion via IG "If you are irritated byevery rub, how willyou be polished?"- RumiSupport the show

This itself will  put you on the right track."-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"Regardless of time or place, one who chants the Holy Name, even while eating or sleeping, attains all perfection."-Chaitanya Mahaprabhu "Sleep while awake."-Ramana Maharshi "No matter what your impulses dictate, let nothing sit on the throne of your heart but God. If you love this creation of God's more than Him, you will be disillusioned. God first, God in the middle, God last."-Yogananda "You should not be carried away by the dictation of your mind, but the mind should be carried away by your dictation."-Srila Prabhupada"Let there be no boundaries. When you lose all sense of self, the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul” - Rumi"In this world full of shapes, there you are with no form."-Rumi "Japa is not a battle with the mind but an emotional connection with Krishna."-Mahatma Das"There is a silence in you.It is always here, constant and unmovable.It is not doing anything. Be aware of this.It is simply here but it didn't arrive.You are not a person here. In the silence itself,you are without history, name and form.Recognise that space here now which simply is.It underlies all activity, but it itselfdoes not participate in any activity.Notice and confirm this now,and stay in your beautiful rest."-Mooji "You've been seeking a drop of water when God has the ocean written for you."-Maharajji My mantra and its benefits- Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare HareSupport the show

At that moment, what sort of face did you carry? Make that experience and expression the baseline of your life.  You should not come below that high that you already know. You can only exist above that benchmark. Make the high point of your life the base for the future! The tools for transformation are there. You are at the right time in history. This is a great time for blossoming into your fullest. When I am here, you should not aspire for the mundane. Your goal should be nothing less than the Ultimate."-Sadhguru Before outer conditions can change, your reaction to them must stop, for it is your reaction that perpetuates them by giving truth to the lie.  Refuse to do something about nothing. Reacting to thoughts about the material world is like a hypnotized stage subject swinging at an imaginary opponent.  The secret to non-reaction is in remembering that you are already infinite God-consciousness.  We are to let thoughts pass out of us and thus uncondition our mind. As they are passing out, don't pull them back by thinking about them. The only reaction you should have is to omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence; that reaction being awe and gratitude that you are one with all that is. God-consciousness is always acting, never reacting."-Joel Goldsmith "Fear says 'what if'Faith says 'even if'"-@prayerteam via IG "WHENEVER HE LOOKS AT YOUGod sees nothing in us that He has not given,Everything is empty until He placeswhat He wishes into it.The soul is like an uninhabited worldthat comes to life only whenGod lays His headagainst us.The delight a child can knowtossing a ball into the air,my Lord confessed He experienceswhenever He looks at you.God sees nothing in usthat He has not given."-St. Thomas Aquinas, Love Poems From God by Daniel Ladinsky“Smiling can be a deliberate, intentioned act. When it is that, it becomes an act of creation, and a powerful tool. Be quick to smile, and quick to share your smile with others. You will light up your heart and light up the room.”-Neale Donald Walsch“When you are in readiness, you are in wakefulness. A smile can take you there. A simple smile. Just stop everything for one moment, and smile. At nothing. Just because it feels good. Just because your heart knows a secret. And because your soul knows what the secret is. Smile at that. Smile a lot. It will cure whatever ails you.”-Neale Donald WalschSupport the show
