Podcasts about neutrality

Send us a textEver find yourself saying things you don't mean… or going completely silent because it feels like nothing will help?You're not alone. When emotions run high, we don't default to communication, we default to survival.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most important (and overlooked) relationship skills: how to regulate your emotional state before you try to “fix” the conversation.You'll learn:The two emotional survival modes we all fall into, Control and Collapse, and how to recognize yoursWhy communication tips don't work when your nervous system is in overdriveWhat the “Window of Neutrality” is, and how to stay inside itThe real reason your conversations keep going sideways (it's not what you think)

Nesta conversa comprovei minha percepção de que em nosso planeta não existem fronteiras. Ao remover todos os bloqueios históricos e ideias equivocadas que nos afastam de culturas, povos, idiomas e crenças diferentes, podemos de fato abraçar terras estrangeiras que nos acolhem e viver integralmente as belezas de uma jornada de patriotismo global. Convido a todos para conhecer David Saunders, um inglês com espírito livre, fez uma carreira lindíssima nas Organizações das Nações Unidas, gerenciando importantes projetos em diversas áreas para o desenvolvimento econômico e social, integração e bem-estar de populações no Sudão do Sul, Albania, Cazaquistão, Bosnia e Herzegovina, Kenia, Malasia, Uganda, Oman, Qatar, Paquistão, Brasil entre outros. Depois dessa breve introdução, nos resta sentar com calma e curiosidade para tentar aprender lições de resiliência, humildade, sagacidade e empatia de quem viveu 500 anos em seus reluzentes 60, agora aposentado em terras Portuguesas se dedica aos prazeres refinados dos jogos de tabuleiro, a mesa de bilhar, uma boa cerveja na pressão e a conversar com seus amigos multi-nacionais. Neutralidade, simplicidade, amizades e bons relacionamentos e identificar o mito que afasta da missão são chaves para o sucesso sempre. Venha navegar pelas ondas das nações distantes dos eixos turísticos para entender o que é de fato ser Expatriado, trabalhar, viver, entregar-se a rotina de países exóticos, entender o significado da palavra missão, quando e onde o valor das coisas simples amplificam o significado do bem-estar individual e coletivo. (EN) LIVING ABROAD, FROM EMPLOYEE TO RETIRED In this conversation I confirmed my perception that Earth hasn’t had borders. By removing all historical bias and mistaken ideas which separate one from another cultures, peoples, languages ​​and beliefs, we can truly embrace foreign lands that welcome us and fully experience the beauty of a journey of global patriotism. I invite everyone to meet David Saunders, a British with a free spirit, who made an outstanding career in United Nations, managing important projects in various areas for economic and social development, integration and well-being of populations in South Sudan, Albania, Kazakhstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kenya, Malaysia, Uganda, Oman, Qatar, Pakistan, Brazil, among others. After this brief introduction, we can only sit down relaxed and curious to try to learn lessons of resilience, humility, sagacity and empathy from someone who lived 500 years in his shining 60s, now retired in Portuguese lands, dedicating himself to refined pleasures of board games, pool table, good draft beers and chatting with his multinational friends. Come sailing the waves of nations far from the tourist hubs to understand what it really is living as an expatriate, working, dedicating yourself to the routine of exotic countries, understanding the meaning of “mission”, when and where the value of simple things amplifies the meaning of individual and collective well-being. Neutrality, simplicity, friendships and good relationships and identifying the myth that takes you away from your mission are always keys to success.

The reality of what we need to do to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 but are we our own worst enemy when it comes to getting the job done. The Irish Academy of Engineering has, today, published a report - The Energy Transition - What is the 2050 Action Plan and Timeline? Speaking to Pat this morning was Eamonn O'Reilly, Chairman of the Energy and Climate Action.

Some believe the world is a 'neutral' place.But they're wrong.The world is filled with light and shadow; good and evil, angels and demons.The world is not neutral. It is spiritually polarized.And that's just what Jesus told His disciples in John 15.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate. Ensuring that the information which people receive is accurate and not biased is a critical component in the fight against antisemitism and hate. Wikipedia has become a go-to source for information as the largest online encyclopedia, which available in over 300 languages. It is one of the most visited websites globally, with over 4.4 billion unique visitors last month alone. Unfortunately, a new ADL report has also found extensive evidence of a biased, coordinated campaign on Wikipedia related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This podcast focuses on what ADL has uncovered and ADL's recommendations for fixing this issue. Daniel Kelley is the guest for this podcast. He is the Director of Strategy and Operations for ADL's Center for Technology and Society. This center spearheaded the research into Wikipedia.

This conversation was recorded for podcast in April 2025.

Jeremy Au sits down with Jeffrey Lonsdale to unpack the US-China trade standoff, the Taiwan flashpoint, and how Southeast Asia is adapting to global shifts. They explore how tariffs are reshaping supply chains, the risk of trade wars escalating, and the difficult position countries like Vietnam and Singapore now find themselves in. The conversation also looks ahead at how governments, investors, and founders should think about resilience in a volatile world. 1. Tariffs as a political and economic tool - Trump uses tariffs not only to protect US industries but as a form of domestic consumption tax, shifting behavior and revenue like a GST or VAT. 2. Escalation breeds popularity - Politicians in countries like Canada, Mexico, and parts of Europe gain domestic support by opposing Trump era tariffs, encouraging confrontational stances. 3. Two futures for the US economy - A positive outcome involves cutting red tape and reindustrializing; a negative one sees trade wars, inefficiency, and geopolitical instability, especially if China moves on Taiwan. 4. China-Taiwan conflict would ripple globally - Supply chains are tightly linked—any flashpoint could halt key components, expose Western dependency on Chinese manufacturing, and cripple downstream industries. 5. Southeast Asia's mixed upside - Countries like Vietnam and Indonesia benefit from the “China plus one” shift, but they're also at risk if rerouted exports from China trigger new US tariffs. 6. Neutrality may not last - Singapore's attempt to stay neutral could break down in a Taiwan crisis; facilitating trade with China could be interpreted as taking sides. 7. Southeast Asia's long-term growth hinges on reform - Vietnam and Indonesia need policy upgrades, power reliability, legal trustworthiness, and governance improvements to fully capitalize on global shifts and avoid investor skepticism after scandals like eFishery.

What if the money you want isn't far away—it's just outside of your current identity? In this episode, I'm sharing the newly expanded five-part Spiritual Investor Method. This isn't a linear process—it's a circular framework designed to collapse time between when you desire wealth and when you actually receive it. I talk about what money neutrality really is (and isn't), how to stop recreating the past with your financial decisions, and how to break the structure within yourself that's keeping wealth at arm's length. This isn't about waiting for money to come—it's about becoming the version of you who already holds it with ease. If you've been feeling frustrated with your income or like you're on the edge of something big but can't quite access it yet, this episode will help you realign with the next level of you. Because you don't need more plans—you need a different relationship with time, energy, and who you believe yourself to be. Learn more and join us at TheSpiritualInvestor.com

#70 [Inside the Mind] Jody Martins: Progress versus Perfection, Reframing Failure, and Staying Focused Amid Countelss Distractions Today, I'm joined by Mental Performance Coach and Host of The Performance Formula Podcast, Jody Martins.  In today's episode, you'll learn: How to create a meaningful morning routine that sets the tone for your day. Why copying someone else's routine—like Tiger or Bryson—isn't the answer. The difference between striving for progress vs. striving for perfection. Practical strategies to break free from negative self-talk during a round. The power of mindfulness and micro-moments to re-center your focus. How to reframe failure as feedback and an essential step toward mastery. How to develop a "smart bomb" focus to stay on track amid external distractions. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Jody From the earliest days as a coach, Jody has had a deep fascination with performance. His coaching journey started as a cricket coach and very early on he realised that performance is not just about having good skills and fitness. He learned that the mind (thought and feelings) or rather lack of mind during performance is a far greater indicator of performance. Now he partners with athletes who want to understand themselves and in doing so, design and build the lifestyle and processes that allow them to show up as their best consistently. www.jodymartins.co  @realjodymartins @performanceformulapodcast Play to Your Potential On (and Off) the Course Schedule a Mindset Coaching Discovery Call Subscribe to the More Pars than Bogeys Newsletter Download my “Play Your Best Round” free hypnosis audio recording.

Connect your habits to your long-term goals, like improving focus or building resilience. Perfection Is the Enemy of Growth: Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for consistent improvement. Learn from your mistakes rather than fearing them. Fail Beautifully, Learn Relentlessly: View failure as feedback. Each missed shot or poor round holds valuable lessons if you're willing to reflect. Redirect Your Focus with the W.I.N. Acronym: When distractions arise, ask yourself: "What's Important Next?" This helps you stay grounded and present for your next shot. Self-Awareness Builds Confidence: Notice negative self-talk and consciously shift to neutral or positive thinking. Practicing mindfulness helps you catch and redirect unhelpful thoughts. Choose Your Experience on the Course: Decide how you want to feel during your round—calm, focused, or joyful—and set the intention to create that experience, regardless of your score. Small Moments of Stillness Lead to Big Changes: Incorporate micro-moments of stillness—like focusing on your breath or tuning into the sound of the wind—to reset your mind and stay present. Key Quotes: "Routine becomes easier when it's tied to something bigger than yourself."  "Perfectionism breeds mediocrity. Progress is the real pursuit."  "The inner game drives the outer game."  "Choose the experience you want to have before you step onto the course." "Failure isn't final—it's feedback."  "Self-awareness is like upgrading your smart bomb—it improves your accuracy in life."  "Neutrality in your thoughts helps you build positive momentum over time."  Time Stamps: 00:00 Morning Routines and Their Impact 09:49 The Pursuit of Perfection vs. Growth Mindset 20:12 Choosing Your Experience in Sports 25:13 The Journey to Self-Awareness 29:05 Meditation and Focus: A Path to Clarity 35:41 Harnessing the Mind: Strategies for Course Correction 42:34 What's Important Next: A Focused Approach to Performance

Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, yet he chose to placate the people rather than release Him. But the courage he lacked, you can show today. Notes: Focus verses - John 18, 19 By definition, a coward is someone who lacks the courage to face difficult or painful things. Pontius Pilate saw an angry crowd that threatened his position.He was more afraid of the consequences than he was of God. #1 The Prefect Meets the PerfectJohn 18:28-38 Jesus, the PERFECT Son of God stands before Pontius Pilate, the Roman appointed PREFECT Governor of Judea. Prefect Governor means he was a military focused governor. The religious leaders knew exactly what they were doing when they brought Jesus to Pilate. The man known for using power harshly becomes hesitant and weak when confronted by Jesus. “What is truth?” Jesus was the incarnation of truth. Read verse 37.Jesus came to bring truth. Truth divides. Like Pilate, we all must make a decision regarding Jesus. Neutrality is not an option. Pilate attempts to appeal to the crowd logically, in an attempt to get Jesus released. #2 Pilate BlinksJohn 18:39-19:6 Just like Neville Chamberlain blinked in the face of tyranny, Pilate blinks in the face of Truth. He knows Jesus is innocent.But instead of releasing Jesus, he tries to placate the people. Pilate offers the crowd a choice: Jesus or Barabbas. No better picture of the gospel than this right here. The cross Barabbas was to die on was already constructed, the arrangements were made, and he had hours left to live. Barabbas was guilty, but Jesus was innocent. This is what Jesus has done for us.We’ve committed a crime by violating God’s commands, we’re guilty, and the penalty is death. But God made a way for us to be delivered out of death, out of our guilt, and that’s what Jesus ultimately did on the cross. 2 Corinthians 5:21 Jesus took Barabbas’ place on that cross. The crowd chooses Barabbas. Pilate didn’t need any Passover custom to release an innocent man, he just needed to do what was right. When the crowd decided against Jesus, he thought he might have one more trick up his sleeve. He released Barabbas, and scourged Jesus in hopes it'd satisfy the angry crowd. Pilate brought Jesus out one final time. He thought that if he give the crowd a little bit of what they want they’ll be happy, they’ll change their minds, they’ll reverse course.Pilate blinked. He thought he could use diplomacy and compromise to get himself out of a difficult position. Compromise doesn’t calm the mob, it fuels it. Compromise is part of life.But when it comes to THE Truth, when it comes to Christ, compromise should not be part of the equation. To compromise on who Jesus is, is to invent another Jesus. Only the real Jesus saves. Pilate’s appeasement of the crowd is not just a political failure—it’s a picture of what happens when leaders, Christians, and even churches try to compromise truth to satisfy the demands of culture. If you play both sides, offering a little truth, softened by a lot of concession and mix in some human empathy, and you end up with the crucifixion. A complete and utter rejection of everything Jesus is and was. We cannot untether EMPATHY from TRUTH. Just because someone feels a certain way does not mean we abandon truth. As Christians we are called to offer COMPASSION not COMPROMISE. Let’s bring this message to a close now. Read John 19:12–16 #3 Pilate judged the Judge. Pilate crucifies Him.The fear of man outweighed the fear of God. Jesus threatened to disrupt Pilate’s cushy role, and so he gave in to peer pressure and he judged the Judge. In Revelation 20 at the Great White Throne judgement, the judged will face the Judge. Pilate symbolically washed his hands of Jesus.But you cannot wash yourself of your sins. You either receive Him or reject Him. “You are either for me or against me.” Have you trusted Jesus as Savior and made Him the Lord of your life? The courage that Pilate lacked, you can show today. Jesus said "Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32 NLT) We are just like Barabbas.Guilty and headed for judgement.But Jesus came in, not accidentally, but intentionally and took that punishment we deserved and He died on a cross for our sin. Like those soldiers around Jack Lucas, he dove on those grenades and absorbed their destruction, that’s what Jesus did for us!He absorbed God’s righteous judgement and drank the cup of His wrath that was going to be poured out on us because of our spiritual rebellion against God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

In an effort to recover from the blowback of having taken public positions on political and social issues, institutions of higher education are seeking refuge in the shelter of institutional neutrality.  By wading into the contentious fray of current events, institutions have learned the difference between being an impartial facilitator dedicated to fostering open discourse and an active advocate of specific political, social and moral issues.  Many have found the latter posture to be both uncomfortable and injurious. In this episode I'll examine how institutional neutrality is faring and what the future may hold. EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast network.

LUMARI- 04 Streams of Conciousness - Neutrality by Richard Dugan

Send us a text with feedback, questions, or topics of interest!What if the events in your life held no inherent meaning—until you gave them one?In this potent episode, we explore the transformative power of neutrality as a tool for QUANTUM JUMPING. Rather than reacting from a place of judgment or emotional charge, neutrality invites us into a space of unconditional love, vibrational awareness, and higher perspective --- which allows us to access a NEW REALITY! Topics covered:

Neutrality and Indifference by Ordinary Mind Zen School

| Devotional by Lydia Dillaman (based on the book “40 Days of Decrease: A Different Kind of Hunger, A Different Kind of Fast” by Alicia Britt Chole) : Day Twenty-Four / 40 Days Of Decrease Fast  Matthew 26:24 “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their crosses and follow me.' In this passage, God clearly shows us that we need to choose what we are going to follow in this world. As you fast “neutrality” pray for God to reveal the things you need to give to him so he can replace it with His plans for you.

From Joshua's perspective, the balance of energies coming in now combined with all of our  collective pre-birth intentions, means everything unfolds perfectly for everyone. We are energetic beings, and the experiences in this physical reality, including challenges and negative emotions, are explorations intended before birth to expand our consciousness. These explorations, such as experiencing separation, loneliness, or unworthiness, are unique to this reality and drive that expansion. Difficult experiences, like back pain, can be understood as a  partner designed to reveal unexamined limiting beliefs. By shifting perspective, embracing neutrality, and understanding that each one of us is the creator of our own reality, we can move beyond victimhood and toward higher states of being.   Neutrality gives us greater access to inspiration and intuition, while judgment and attachment to polarities (good/bad) create emotional rollercoasters that distract from inner guidance. While we all came to explore duality, cultivating neutrality allows for a deeper understanding of the perfection and balance inherent in all experiences. Ultimately, realizing that nothing outside of us can cause us to feel negative emotion, we can embrace the role of creator. This empowers us to release blame, process limiting beliefs, and take inspired action to manifest our true desires. Inspiration will lead you along this journey to unimaginable experiences and a deeper connection to your true self. Get the new Manifestation Event form here. Take the Life-Area perspective quiz.

In this conversation, Nate and Ashley explore the importance of listening to one's inner self and the evolving needs of the body and soul. They discuss the challenges of navigating fear and cultural conditioning, emphasizing the need for self-awareness and intuition. The dialogue delves into breaking free from self-imposed limitations and the significance of taking risks with a playful and curious mindset. They highlight the importance of embracing nuance and grace in personal growth, ultimately leading to a journey of self-acceptance and freedom.

 Defend Neutrality.If truth be told the long standing claim of neutrality by the southern Irish state is not all its made out to be. It is a fact that successive Irish governments have turned a blind eye to American war planes using Shannon as a stopping off point for attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as carrying munitions to Israel for its genocidal war against the people of Palestine.  US planes carrying political prisoners to interrogation and detention sites, where they were tortured, stopped at Shannon to refuel. A breach of international law. The government did nothing.In recent months a significant and increasing number of articles have been published in the mainstream Dublin based media claiming that neutrality was fine in the past but is not fit for purpose in the world today. It is ‘morally degenerate' wrote one writer. Getting rid of neutrality would make the Irish state appear more ‘grown-up' said another. The language has become increasingly belligerent as the demand is made for a substantial increase in spending on weapons and for the Irish government to join the NATO alliance. Support the Occupied Territories BillLast week An Taoiseach Micheál Martin is reported to have told an Israeli lobby group in New York that the Occupied Territories Bill is not on the legislative calendar. He is sticking rigidly to the line that there are constitutional difficulties that require the Bill to be significantly redrafted. The end result of this prevarication is that the Occupied Territories Bill remains in limbo.While Micheál Martin stonewalls meaningful action against Israel that state's genocide against the Palestinian people is unrelenting. Israel has clearly breached the January ceasefire multiple times. Since 15 January Israeli forces have killed over 150 civilians in the Gaza Strip, including women and children, charity workers and journalists. For almost three weeks now Israel has imposed a blockade on desperately needed aid from entering the devastated region. It has also turned off Gaza's electricity preventing the desalination plants from providing water for the besieged residents. Beannachtaí na Féile PádraigSt. Patrick's Day is an opportunity for the Irish people and diaspora to celebrate being Irish. In some parts of the world St. Patrick's Day morphs into a week of celebrations. I hope you enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day/week wherever you are.This year Friends of Sinn Féin published an advertisement in several US based newspapers, including the New York Times urging Irish America to speak out on the right of the diaspora to vote in Irish Presidential elections and called on the Irish government to prepare for Irish Unity.

On Free State today, Joe and Dion look at how countries throughout history have been organised to prepare for war. They trade on anxiety and fear to push towards increased militarisation. Joe looks at Simon Harris's recent interview with RTÉ about Israel and why the government is looking to retreat from whatever position it said it would take.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

In the past decade, China has ramped up its engagement in the Middle East, a region which is far from China geographically, but carries growing importance in China's foreign policy. Economically, China is the biggest importer of the Middle East oil, particularly from Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Chinese state-owned enterprises have invested heavily in the region under the Belt and Road Initiative with an emphasis on physical and digital infrastructure, including telecommunications, 5G connectivity, submarine optic cables, and security information systems.  Diplomatically, China played a role in brokering a deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran, two longstanding regional rivals. Beijing has also been instrumental in expanding the BRICS multilateral mechanism to include four Middle East countries. Securing access to vital natural resources is a key driver of Beijing's intensified engagement in the Middle East. But China's interests are broader and encompass economic, geopolitical and strategic considerations.To further discuss China's interests and evolving role in the Middle East, Michael Schuman joins host Bonnie Glaser. Michael is a nonresident senior fellow at the Global China Hub of the Atlantic Council and an author and journalist with more than 25 years of on-the-ground experience in Asia.  He is the co-author of a recently published report by the Atlantic Council titled China's Middle East policy shift from ‘hedging' to ‘wedging.' Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:06] China's Interest in the Middle East[04:23] Evaluating China's Strategy of “Wedging” [06:51] Evaluating China's Position of Neutrality[10:17] Factors Driving China's Middle Eastern Strategy [13:46] Chinese Bilateral and Multilateral Engagement [16:08] China's Energy Ties with the Middle East[19:41] Implications for the United States[24:19] Limits to Chinese Engagement

I'm so glad to be here, Michelle.   Michelle (00:06) Well, I love having you. We just had a whole long pre-talk. We just always connected. I always connected with you like from day one. So, and I love just seeing how you're progressing as a practitioner. And also as I was reading her bio, I mean, I really feel very aligned with how you see your healing, how you approach things, how you are staying in your truth with the   connection that you feel to spirit and also acknowledging how important that is in the healing process. And I think that, and we talked about this, there's this whole science versus this, it could be both. And I think that now we are moving into a place where we're actually bridging a lot of what has been shown that is sort of, it's being revealed almost like all the things that the ancients have been talking about for thousands of years.   is now starting to become revealed through science. And it's kind of interesting how that is happening right now in this time that we're living. We're starting to see a lot of things, even that the heart houses the mind through heart math, those kinds of things about coherence and how our heart is the the creative center and all of these different things, which I'm sure you're also very into. So I would love for you to just a quick   I mean, you've been on here before, but just a quick like background on you and how you got into this work and how you also in your own spirit, your own journey, connected with spirit and realized the importance of that when it comes to healing.   Lindsay Goodwin (01:51) Yeah, well, Michelle, thank you so much. And absolutely, I couldn't agree with you more. We are definitely so aligned and I absolutely love the work that you're doing as well. And it's absolutely wonderful to meet other practitioners, healers, providers that are on the same path and are here to really help so many people that need it. So thank you so much. So really about how I got started. Well, I'm actually born intuitive medium. So as a child, I...   was very in tune almost as if I could hear people's thoughts. I just knew things that were much greater than what a three year old child because I remember about back when I was about three should know at that age and I also would see energy orbs. I just would know things about people know a lot about their emotions just was very intuitive. And so then as a child I grew up I run the age of seven is generally when we start to be conditioned and that's really when   The subconscious mind really starts to form is around the age of seven So that's when I kind of lost it and I started to try to fit into society like most of us And then when I was going through a divorce in my late 30s, I had a spiritual awakening I was actually robbed at gunpoint and during that experience I had an out-of-body experience   and I met what I refer to as God or universal energy, source energy, whatever you prefer to call it. And I was wrapped in gold light. It was almost like time had stopped. And the energy that was in the room, I do remember that it was radiating from behind the gunman that had the gun to my back. So the universe was also protecting them. So it was not only protecting me, but everyone because we are all connected. We're not separate. And so   It was really interesting to me. And there's also that saying, know, the universe. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty crazy. The universe always has your back. So, you know, I see things very I see things symbolically, but also that was very literal, like that saying the universe always has your back. I had a gun in my back, but there was this energy that was protecting me and the gunman. So during that time, I was not thinking about what you normally would think you would think about when you're going to lose your life.   Michelle (03:45) That's interesting.   Lindsay Goodwin (04:10) I wasn't thinking about my family. I wasn't thinking about my dog that I had at the time. I was only thinking about what I was seeing and I was seeing angels as well as this energy that I am speaking of this gold light. And I saw one of my spirit guides, his name is Bill. He was there and he had just transitioned out of his body back into spirit about six weeks before this had happened. And I saw my grandparents. And so I was told at this time,   that you need to wake up, you need to do what you're supposed to be doing, and you're gonna go back and you're gonna do this work. And so I remembered that, wow, I remember all these things, what I would experience as a child. It was like this beautiful kind of bittersweet sort of experience that happened because it woke me up. So after that, I really just all the intuitive stuff started coming in. I started taking a really strong interest in numerology.   consciousness and it just has opened up. And then I started getting a lot of messages from the babies. So I was a acupuncturist at the time. was and I still am an acupuncturist. And I was getting a lot of messages from babies and whether they would be in the aura of the person that I was treating, or they would actually be in the womb space and I would get messages from them.   I have regular dreams from what I call spirit baby guides that will come and share information with me about how to help people as well as people that I am working with. And so it's been very apparent and made very apparent to me what my job is. And I do not only treat fertility, I work with people on a just a very   helping people across the board with helping them really understand themselves. But fertility is a big part of my job. probably about 50%.   Michelle (06:08) Amazing. so spirit babies have always really intrigued me. And what is it that you feel orbs or what exactly do you feel when you see those spirit babies attached to your patients?   Lindsay Goodwin (06:25) Yeah, absolutely. So they can be sparkles. I see a lot of sparkles. The orbs of colors that I generally see will be blue, white, gold, sometimes purple, sometimes I will see pink. There have been times I have seen green. But the colors are specific. I haven't quite figured out why I only see certain colors.   Michelle (06:47) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (06:48) but they're very beautiful. They're like, if someone is sitting in my office or if I'm doing a virtual session because I work with people globally, that I can actually see these sparkles that will actually start to just come off of them or around them. And that could be a spirit baby. It could also be a passed on loved one that is guiding that particular person on their journey.   Michelle (07:03) Mm.   Lindsay Goodwin (07:11) But we're talking about spirit babies today. So definitely just the spirit in general could have that sort of sparkly sort of energy that I'll see in the person's energy field, which could also be known as biofield, which would be more of a scientific term if we're talking about auras. And then I just, see a lot in my third eye. So your third eye is right between your eyebrows. If people know about chakras, I know that you do, Michelle.   And so I get these thought forms. Sometimes they'll actually be words that will come across. Other times they'll be visuals like I will see the baby. I actually will see what they look like as well as their gender. They will show me different artifacts or objects that relate to the person that I'm reading so that that person will know that I'm actually telling them something that they can link up to and I'm not just making it up.   So that's one thing I've realized over the years with the spirit babies and just the spirit world in general is that things will come through that will resonate with you to confirm with you that you're not alone.   Michelle (08:18) Right. That's amazing. And what do you find or what are the messages that you get for people who are struggling to conceive yet they have a spirit baby around them? Like what is the holdup for the spirit baby coming through?   Lindsay Goodwin (08:33) Well, that's a very common question and there could be a bazillion different things, but I'll tell you some common areas that I see. There could be, you know, it could be that maybe subconsciously, this is where the subconscious mind comes in, which is really powerful. You're into that as well as also a certified hypnotherapist that our subconscious mind will create energy blocks and will make it so that we're thinking things under the radar.   Michelle (09:02) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (09:02) that could   be patterns about, maybe I won't be a good mom, maybe I won't be a good dad, maybe I won't be a good parent. And it could relate to some sort of traumatic event that happened. Maybe you had a mother that was emotionally unavailable. You couldn't speak your truth. You know, not necessarily saying that your parents were bad. It could be that maybe they just were dealing with their own things that were going on. And so you could be carrying around that trauma and not even realize that you're carrying it around. So...   Michelle (09:08) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (09:32) People often ask me, why is it so easy for some people to get pregnant, but it's difficult for me? Why have I had so much loss? Or maybe I have never even had a pregnancy or maybe I have secondary infertility. And the answer that I often get is that I remind people and letting them know that everybody's journey is different. And when we sign up to have these human experiences, we're coming in and we're creating different experiences.   Michelle (09:51) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (09:58) based on what our soul wants to learn in this physical 3D reality. And so if we're comparing our lives to other people and that, well, this person over here got pregnant really easily. Why is this person getting pregnant that doesn't even want the baby? Is this because everyone's journey is different as well as your spirit baby's journey is different. And so it could be a good example would be is that maybe you're someone that wanted to have a   lot more wisdom before you became a parent. Maybe you're someone that didn't want to be like your mother with your child. Maybe there was a lot of healing that needed to happen before your child actually would show up physically because you wanted to be in the best version of yourself to be able to give this child the life that maybe you didn't have.   Michelle (10:30) Mm-hmm.   Yeah. I mean, there's the thing that I find is that, and I've gotten these ideas and downloads through meditation, through even going to Joe Dispenza events, because you're so immersed that you get these downloads, is that we are just simply not aware of the big picture. And we try to make conclusions based on parts and those parts of our life. so it's very hard to make a very   big picture conclusion when we don't have the big picture in front of us. And so part of that is really trusting that there's something else that does see the big picture that we're connected to and being able to surrender that. And that's another thing too that I've noticed is the surrender part. I think we're so conditioned to go after it that sometimes I like to kind of like think about, you know, the Chinese,   Lindsay Goodwin (11:26) Yeah.   Yeah.   Michelle (11:49) handcuffs or the finger cuffs or whatever. The faster you pull, the more you pull tightly and forcefully, the more you get stuck. Creating that kind of flow in your life will allow you to get the lesson faster, I feel like, and then you move faster. That's what I've noticed. Have you picked up on that?   Lindsay Goodwin (12:14) yeah, absolutely. I mean, I have a client that I've been seeing since August and we've got some really good news yesterday. Her AMH went from a 0.44 or something like that to over 1.1 something. Yeah. And it's amazing. I just, it's yes, yes, absolutely. And she's in her forties. And I just, told her, what I tell my clients is you did that.   Michelle (12:31) Wow, that's amazing. That's great to hear for people to hear.   Lindsay Goodwin (12:44) You did that. mean, of course, supplements help acupuncture, but you did that because you have learned to let go of things that are no longer serving you. You're starting to really trust yourself. Your body is saying, yes, yes, yes, because your mind is saying, hey, I know my worthiness. I know that I deserve to be a mom because if I didn't deserve to be a mom, I wouldn't desire it.   Michelle (12:45) Yes. Right.   Lindsay Goodwin (13:10) Okay, and so she is really now believing that this is truly happening for her. It's a knowing now rather than it just, I'm looking for hope, I'm looking for encouragement, will this happen? She's actually knowing that it's happening and her body is responding to it because of her mind power. So I, you know, to get back to what you were talking about, you know, with surrendering, I often tell people with manifesting, whether it's a baby, because babies are manifestations.   Michelle (13:10) Mm-hmm, right.   Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   Lindsay Goodwin (13:40) It's a partner, it's a business, it's a new house, whatever it is, it's better health. What we do, and this is challenging because we're not taught this, but as little kids, we know this. We put out into the universe that, okay, I'm gonna manifest this. You have to almost take it and put it up on the shelf and leave it there. You have to be unattached. Yes, exactly, you have to be unattached.   Michelle (13:40) Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah.   Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You almost have to forget about it.   Yeah.   Lindsay Goodwin (14:10) to the how, the when, what it's gonna look like. And you're living your life and you're enjoying your magic and your light and your family and all the things that make you happy. I mean, when our perspective shifts, our whole world shifts. You can look at something one way or you can look at it another way. If you're looking at things and that things are abundant or you're looking at things of what I don't have,   Michelle (14:13) Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.   True.   Lindsay Goodwin (14:38) That's a very different feeling. And we know that the universe is responding to how we feel.   Michelle (14:44) yes. Yeah. It's the feelings. Yeah. The feelings really make a huge difference. And that's what they found actually in the research that Joe Dispenza does is because the researchers come up and talk and they say the two things that they saw, you know, the combination is thought emotions and emotional state. So that's one of the reasons why he focuses a lot on the heart and also this joy and the love.   Because when you feel those emotions, you can feel those emotions in very challenging times, yet you still can be very elevated. And I can tell you this, I I went through the loss of my father and it was a very challenging time to see him go through the transition. I knew he was gonna transition. I knew that I was witnessing to that. At the same time, I was able to get into a state of such love.   Lindsay Goodwin (15:38) Yeah.   Michelle (15:39) that   I felt more alive than like ever before. It felt like such a pivotal and sacred time, even though it could be judged as like this bad, dark time. And yes, it had very difficult, painful aspects to it, but the way I'm describing it now is it's a more neutral way. So you could look at something and acknowledge the pain in a more neutral perspective.   rather than looking at it and saying, this is good, this is bad. Because ultimately by doing that, or saying something's bad, you're limiting yourself. We were talking about that before. You're limiting yourself to that aspect of it. And that will impact your energy and how you're able to really show up in your life. And the energy impact can for sure impact the AMH. So all of these things that suck our energy throughout our life,   and mentally in the background are going to definitely impact the energy that can go into procreation. So it's this whole big picture.   Lindsay Goodwin (16:46) It really is. And you know, I love what you're saying. It's about giving meaning to things. know, once we give meaning to things, then it takes on its own energy. neutral is a very powerful way of explaining it. And I know that that can be challenging as a human being because we're encoded with emotions. It's part of the experience. But when you can learn, like the Buddha says, and I'm not Buddhist, but just, know, I love   Michelle (17:07) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (17:16) history and there's a lot of philosophies that are great, is that when you can live in that middle place, you know, rather than being too up here or too down here, you're just neutral. That's really when the manifestation happens. That's really when the happiness, that's where the joy is, because you're not attached to anything.   Michelle (17:23) Mm-hmm.   Yep. Yeah.   Yep.   Yes, it is. It's that golden path. know, Eckhart Tolle refers to that as the present moment. And Chinese medicine can refer to that or Taoism as flow. You know, that is that golden path that is, it's neither one extreme or the other. It's here in the center. It's that neutrality.   And many different ancient cultures have been pointing to that. And many different spiritual teachers refer to that because that is the portal. And Eckhart Tolle says that that present moment is the portal really to the endlessness. So it's, it's when we're able to really let go and, know, also not the, not get hung up on the past and hold on to all of that and not get too identified with the future.   just really being in that center moment. If you think about that, if you truly, truly get into that state, you're very free. You're free. And when you're free, energetically, you're able to really connect to a wealth of power and energy to create whatever you need to create.   Lindsay Goodwin (18:47) Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I have to add to that, you know, I don't know if you ask yourself this, but I find it quite interesting if we're just talking about Chinese medicine. How is it that ancient philosophers of Chinese medicine came up with everything that they knew about the internal parts of the body and the spiritual energy with no diagnostics, no MRI machine, no ultrasound, no ability to look at the blood. They were channeling.   They were channeling energy.   Michelle (19:19) 100%. 100%. They were connected to that wealth of intelligence that we all have. We all are connected to. And I love that you mentioned that because you and I are both interested kind of like in the scientific research of the spirituality and like really understanding that because it's a great tool and it could be used as a great tool. However, they didn't have that back then.   Lindsay Goodwin (19:21) Thank   Absolutely.   Michelle (19:45) And so that just shows, and it's actually being proven just by itself, that just shows that there is an intelligence that we are connected to, that we can connect to without necessarily having to dissect it.   Lindsay Goodwin (20:02) Yep, absolutely. And I say this often too, if science was a silver bullet for everything, are people not able to get pregnant with IVF?   Michelle (20:12) Right. my God, such a good point.   Lindsay Goodwin (20:16) I mean, it works for a lot of people. I'm not anti Western medicine or modern medicine at all. I think it's great. I believe in integrative medicine. Yeah, absolutely. And that's, think what makes what we do so powerful too. We can see both sides of the coin and really help people to understand their bodies, but also understand that, wow, we've got this energy part that can't always be proven. Right. And so   Michelle (20:19) Mm-hmm. Yeah.   Me too, yeah.   Yes, 100%.   Yeah.   Lindsay Goodwin (20:44) you know, it's just that's, that's what people want. That is where we are going as an energy collective as integrative. It's not, you know, one side, one sided, you know, this is an integrative process that's happening because science is great. mean, there's so many wonderful, just advantages to live in this time where we have science, because for example, if someone has   Michelle (20:52) Mm-hmm.   Yes, yeah, it's whole.   Lindsay Goodwin (21:13) Say they have a partner that has some sort of DNA issue with their sperm and if they get pregnant naturally, they've had several miscarriages and that's painful to go through. IVF would be a great option because then we can create an embryo that is healthy and then we have a healthy baby. They're not going through that emotional roller coaster. It's not just that. I'm just giving one example.   Michelle (21:20) Mm-hmm.   Correct.   Lindsay Goodwin (21:43) Okay, but when we're just saying that it's just one way or the other, it's making it very limited for people. And I don't think that that's fair. This is my opinion and I know that you're on the same page too. But like, this is what we are going to see further that we go into just where we're headed as just humans. People want more of the energy.   Michelle (21:43) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (22:11) options in health in general. You're moving away from being, I'm going to take this pill and that pill and I'm going to, you know, people don't want that anymore. I don't want that. I mean, you and I haven't been wanting that for years because we wouldn't be where we are if we did. And again, I'm not, I'm not knocking. I'm not talking bad about science. I think that, like I said, it's, it's wonderful. It does wonderful things.   Michelle (22:13) Mm-hmm. Yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah.   Lindsay Goodwin (22:38) but we have to open our mind a little bit more to things.   Michelle (22:41) For sure. There's definitely a place   for everything. And I think that as you're talking about that, I'm thinking about the neutrality aspect of it, looking at it objectively and saying, Hey, you know, this is one tool and then this is another tool. And sometimes this tool is a tool that can be very beneficial, but it shouldn't be the only tool because there are other tools like energetic that we don't necessarily see that can be very beneficial. And in fact, sometimes can enhance the, maybe the medical tools.   Lindsay Goodwin (22:49) the   Yeah, absolutely. Well, they have found studies, know, Harvard Medical School for, it was not contemporary medicine, but it's the alternative side of the medical school. They did a study where they found that they had two different groups. And the one group that followed a mind body, which what was included with that was meditations, mindfulness, as well as visualizations.   Michelle (23:38) Yeah.   Lindsay Goodwin (23:38) Hypnotherapy,   medical intuition, mean, all these energy modalities, they had a 55 % success rate of healthy babies, where the other group that didn't follow that particular program chose not to do it or just didn't do it the way that it was designed for them had about a 20 % success rate. So we really are seeing that when we are integrating, like you just stated, these mind-body techniques that   Michelle (24:07) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (24:07) they can   really enhance these medical therapies that people are using with Western medicine like IVF.   Michelle (24:15) yeah, it is so powerful and I'm glad that finally there's attention put on it because I think that because it's so abstract, a lot of these visualizations or visualizations being different than what you just said, like which is more mindfulness, but in general, like getting into the state of our being that is more abstract. It's not something that we can easily dissect or it's not as tangible as others.   And I think for that reason specifically, it can be very easily ignored. So I love the fact that there is data showing the evidence of that working because it's powerful and I think it'll get more people on board to do that. And not only will it help their fertility, but it's also going to help their life.   Lindsay Goodwin (25:04) Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, because you know, it's I have a lot of vivid dreams, one that I had earlier this year. And I'm not religious in any way. But I get messages in there what they are. And the message was is the kingdom is within you. And we all know that if people read the Bible, or they've seen that. And again, I'm not necessarily a pusher of the Bible by any means, I'm a spiritual person. So I don't push any sort of religion. So very open.   Michelle (25:22) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (25:34) But, you know, it's interesting to me because when I was having this dream, it was a presence, it was a consciousness. And again, I think that this was source energy God, which is all of us anyway. It's we're not separate from that, like you stated. And so there was these all these lapis lazuli stones that were coming out of what I know to be my body.   Michelle (25:48) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm. Yeah.   Lindsay Goodwin (26:04) And I did not know, but in the Bible it states that Lapis Lazuli was made, that was what the throne of what God, I guess in the Bible, was actually made from. So it was very powerful and that shook me up. If the robbery and the out of body experience didn't, that one did, that we're all so powerful.   Michelle (26:04) Mm-hmm.   wow.   Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (26:33) And you   don't necessarily have to be having dreams like I do. I'm here to share these dreams. I'm here to share this information, just like you, to help people to realize that you have the power to create and be anything that you want. You have the power to heal yourself. And by no means disclaimer, am I recommending that people stop taking their medications or stop their treatment? But you do. You have the power, but it's   Michelle (26:55) Yes. Yeah.   Lindsay Goodwin (27:02) really starting to believe that and that can take some healing work, know, working with someone that can help you with that. But I always tell people when they work with me, we're not meant to work together forever. We're meant to get the work done that we're meant to do together and then you're going to be better and you're going to find your own magic. And then you're going to be able to help other people by you just being you. Yeah.   Michelle (27:04) Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   Mm-hmm.   Yes, it does happen often.   And then what are some things, because we talk about the mind body and obviously there are certain techniques, like we talked about mindfulness. What are some techniques that people can look into that can help them utilize this incredible force of their mind?   Lindsay Goodwin (27:47) Yeah, absolutely. So techniques that I use would be hypnotherapy, which I know you use as well, Michelle, and neuro linguistic programming, which is NLP, which is being able to tap into the subconscious mind. It also is the study of body language. So it's the study like the FBI uses it to be able to solve cases and be able to tell if people are telling the truth or not.   Michelle (28:07) Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (28:11) Now that's a really powerful way to be able to work with somebody too, because sometimes you could even be lying to yourself, not even realize that you're doing it. So I'm able to see really, and it does not, we can be virtual, does not necessarily have to be in person. Energy has no barriers with us being across the world or across the country like you and I are. And so we can use these tools to be able to tell what's going on in somebody's subconscious mind.   Michelle (28:17) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (28:39) probably are not consciously aware of. So then what we do is I use different tools to be able to help them to learn how to reprogram those behaviors because the subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between real and fake. So if you're constantly unconsciously telling yourself, like I was stating before, that I don't know if I'm going to be a good parent. I don't know if this is going to work out for me. What if I've had clients, for example, that have had maybe their   Michelle (28:41) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (29:09) their mom had secondary infertility and they heard about that. I have one actually that's happened to and she did not even realize this. And then when she started working with me, we identified that her mom had secondary infertility when she was trying to have her. So she'd been constantly telling herself since she was about 12 years old that she was gonna have infertility, infertility, infertility. I have another client I worked with years ago that did IVF.   Michelle (29:23) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (29:36) And she had some of the lowest AMH that I've ever seen on somebody that was young. I mean, she was under 30. And she we identified and figured out that her aunt had infertility. And she had been telling herself over and over again, she was a little girl that she was going to have infertility. Well, she did one baby with IVF, all the other ones like three more three or four more came naturally. So once she got over that   that subconscious belief that she was going to have trouble with having a baby, then she just had babies naturally. So was something that she needed to get over in her journey. So NLP, Neuro Linguistic Program is really powerful. Visualizations are really powerful, mindfulness, meditation. I do a lot of visualization with my clients as well as helping them with their chakras, which are the energy centers located in the spine.   to really identify also my medical intuitive so really identify where there's imbalancing happening and then figuring out what emotions are attached to that what sort of traumas are attached to that for example a lot of women have a blocked throat chakra which when we have a blocked throat chakra yeah it is yeah yeah exactly that will block up the womb space   Michelle (30:47) Mm-hmm.   Yeah, and lapis lazuli is good for that.   And it's interesting how the thyroid impacts reproductive, organs and health.   Lindsay Goodwin (31:08) Yep. It's the biggest one. It's the biggest gland in that endocrine system. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, we could go into endocrinology and the spiritual. That's always fun. Yeah.   Michelle (31:19) Yeah, but also expression, know, so that expression   opening up the heart, heart opening up the uterus. I mean, there's so many aspects and that's the thing too with chakras is that yes, they each have their own indication and behaviors and patterns, but they also have an interlinking workings with each other.   Lindsay Goodwin (31:42) Yep. It's all connected just like the Chinese philosophers of Eastern medicine.   Michelle (31:48) Yeah. Amazing. This is so interesting. mean, I can talk to you for hours. I can keep talking about like everything, but I wanted to ask if people are interested. I know you have a new podcast, which is awesome. And so talk about your new podcast and also talk about how people can reach out to you if they want to work with you.   Lindsay Goodwin (31:53) same.   Yes.   Yeah, absolutely. So new podcast is fertile frequencies. I created that. Thank you. I created that because I really wanted to bring more of an integration of the unseen energies of the energies of spirit babies, energetic, spiritual fertility, which by the way, is not religious, it is spiritual, it's energy. Often that's a question that people will ask me about. That's kind of why I call it more energetic spiritual fertility. So people kind of understand this from an energy standpoint.   Michelle (32:13) I love that.   Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (32:40) And so really talking with people, giving you the encouragement on your fertility journey, knowing that this is manifesting for you, understanding more about your physical body, but knowing that your fertility is way more than just your physical body. So we do get into some of the dynamics of things like egg quality, as well as IVF, talking about nutrition, different supplements.   I do talk about that, but I'm more about the energy. I feel like there's a lot of information out there about the physical side of fertility. So a lot of great content creators, like people, and of course you have a great podcast as well, that are already doing that. So there's not enough of the energy. So yeah, so that is a lot if you're into that, which if you listen to Michelle's podcast, I'm sure that you are into the energy side of fertility.   Michelle (33:07) Mm-hmm.   Yep.   I agree.   Mm-hmm.   Lindsay Goodwin (33:31) And so just started that, I'm gonna have some really great experts on there. I'd love to have you on there as well. That's coming up. So it's definitely getting bigger than I think I was expecting it to. I think it's just time. It's time for this message to be out. Yeah, it's aligned, exactly. I do have a fertility program coming out as well. Of course, it's coming out in this month.   Michelle (33:46) It's time. It's aligned. time.   Lindsay Goodwin (33:56) And then I do have a VIP fertility program where you can work one-on-one with me and I do design a unique fertility program for you that has the physical aspects in it, but I do walk you through, help you with changing some of those subconscious patterns, helping you to really manifest the healthy pregnancy that you're looking for. And if you're interested in that, I do offer a 45 minute call where we can go through the program and I can meet you and we can answer any questions. I can answer any questions that you have.   and see how I can help. I'm only going to work with people that I know I can help. So I'm very honest about that as well. I think integrity is a huge part of this. So first step is seeing if we're a good fit. And then I also have some free resources as well. If you'd like to, I have an ebook on fertility, some seven essential steps to download, an ebook download to help you with some of those essential steps getting started on your fertility journey, or if you're someone that   Michelle (34:30) Mm-hmm.   Yeah, for sure.   Lindsay Goodwin (34:55) has been trying for a while. That would be helpful as well. And I do have a fertility affirmations and meditation available that you can download that is a free download as well. definitely I'm now on Insight timer. So you can download it on there. Yeah. So yeah.   Michelle (35:09) Mm-hmm. awesome. Cool.   That's great. And all of Lindsay's information will be in the episode notes in case anybody wants to find it. Lindsay, I absolutely love talking to you. I feel so aligned with your way and method of teaching and also your perspective on fertility and health.   So it's always a pleasure talking to you. Happy new year. Well, right now it's, by the time this airs, it's going to be way past new year, but it is January 1st today. So thank you so much for coming on.   Lindsay Goodwin (35:34) you   Yeah.   Thank you so much, Michelle, and thank you to all of your listeners and so much love and encouragement. And just know that it's all happening for you.
