Moojibaba offers a clear, potent deep dive into his core pointings, highlighting the problem of personhood, and revealing the space of Being. "The best way of using the mind is to observe it, but with detachment. Observe what arises, emotionally, energetically, mentally, but try not to log into them. And it may take a while to settle, because so many things will come knocking at your door. But just leave them. Don't fight them. Don't wish anything. Don't desire anything. Just be, and unfold into formlessness." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 19 September 2025

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____New Year comes with a loud promise: new goals, new habits, new you. But real change does not come from flipping the calendar. It comes from changing the lens you look through, especially if your brain defaults to “I'm behind,” “I'm failing,” or “I should be better by now.”In this episode, let's break down the simplest framework that explains why you feel stuck: your thoughts create your feelings, your feelings drive your actions, and your actions create your results. When an ADHD brain gets caught in rumination, catastrophizing, and “monkey mind” loops, it can feel like you are working on the problem when you are really just flooding your system with fear.You will also learn practical ways to step out of that spiral, including mindfulness basics and the STOP skill (Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Proceed) for regulating your nervous system in real time. Learn how to use intention, visualization, and positive emotion in a grounded way that actually supports ADHD brains, plus why the goal is not “never feel negative,” but learning how to guide your mind back to safety so you can move again.Resources: Website: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  https://tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?

In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I'm bringing back a good friend of the community, Jim Oliver, one of the world's foremost authorities on Infinite Banking and the founder of CreateTailwind. Jim has 38 years in the financial trenches, 12 of those under the late R. Nelson Nash, the pioneer of the Infinite Banking Concept®. Together, we break down how to take back control from traditional banks, keep more of the interest you're giving away, and use properly structured whole life policies to fund cash-flowing real estate and businesses instead of Wall Street.     We talk about the big problems with indexed universal life (IUL) being sold as "infinite banking," why guarantees and design matter, and how to vet a real Infinite Banking coach. Jim then gives a simple, clear explanation of how banks actually make money off your deposits, how Infinite Banking makes you the depositor, bank owner, and borrower, and the three biggest mistakes people make when they start.    We finish with a powerful conversation about escaping the 9–5, changing your identity to "investor," and designing a 2026 vision where you stop exchanging time for money and your assets pay you instead.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:49 What's new in the Infinite Banking world? 02:06 The IUL problem: when "infinite banking" gets bastardized 03:48 Whole life vs. universal life for Infinite Banking 04:12 Chasing short-term optics with low base / high PUAs 05:26 How to vet a real Infinite Banking mentor 08:22 How Infinite Banking really works 10:47 The problem with traditional banking 11:48 Why use a whole life policy as your "bank"? 12:50 How to reach Jim & what working with CreateTailwind looks like 13:58 3 biggest mistakes people make with Infinite Banking 16:17 Entrepreneurship and escaping the 9-5 grind 18:07 Identity & environment: two levers to pull for 2026 19:37 Observe, assist, lead, then teach 20:34 Media, markets & the danger of the herd   Quotables   "The problem is that we finance every single thing that we buy. We either pay interest to someone else or we give up interest that we could have earned somewhere else."   "Any time you have a nine to five, I don't care if you're making millions of dollars a year, you're in captivity."   "If you're in the herd, you're in the majority.

“My sister, my spouse.” — Song of Solomon 4:12 Observe the sweet titles with which the heavenly Solomon with intense affection addresses His bride the church. “My sister, one near to me by ties of nature, partaker of the same sympathies. My spouse, nearest and dearest, united to me by the tenderest bands of love; […]

The New Year is just around the corner along with the tradition of making resolutions, which are usually promises to do something "more, better, or different." Most of us start the New Year with the greatest of intentions, yet by March (or even by the second week in January) we may not find ourselves so resolved. We revert back to old patterns and beat ourselves up for not sticking to our resolutions. Could there be a way to ring in 2026 that serves us better? YES! And it has been my New Year ritual for the past fifteen years. Many of you have joined me in this ritual, which is a co-creative process of reflection and intention setting over the years. The night of December 31st will come and go (and no one will remember what you wore) so instead of just trying to plan an epic evening, set your sights on co-creating an epic year!! I invite you to follow this step-by-step process and amend it any way that inspires you: PART ONE: Completing 2025 On December 31st (or around that time) carve out at least an hour of uninterrupted time for yourself. Create the mood – get comfy, quiet, light a candle, put on some music. Begin by writing in a journal your "Year in Review." Month by month recall events that happened, people you met, places you visited, lessons you learned, accomplishments, blessings, struggles, funny moments and so on. What is so great about looking at the year in this way is that you are able to notice how you have grown and express gratitude for all your learnings. After you have gone through the year, consider the behaviors, beliefs or habits that you'd like to leave behind. We all have our regrets, bad habits, and learning experiences; yet, a lot of us tend to cling to them much longer than we need to. On a separate sheet of paper, write down what you would like to leave behind in 2025. For example: being obsessed with an ex, bad eating habits, going to bed too late, limiting beliefs, repetitive/disruptive thoughts, overuse of social media, consistent self-scrutiny, road rage and so on. When you complete this list, burn it or rip it up into tiny pieces to really let it go! If you so choose, share your year in review with someone close to you. See what they recall, reminisce, and share a couple laughs. (Optional) Make a toast to the end of the year. Say a prayer of gratitude for 2025, declare you are letting it go, and toast to releasing anything that no longer serves you. PART TWO: Co-Creating 2026 Begin to co-create/manifest 2026. Light a new candle, set the mood. Meditate for at least five minutes using the guided meditation included in this episode. Meditation is important to do before you begin to manifest so you create and visualize from the authentic self rather than the ego. After your meditation is complete and you are tuned into your most authentic channel, you are ready to start visioning your 2026! Begin by getting a blank sheet of unlined paper. Write at the top: "This or something better for the highest good of all concerned. And so it is." Without thinking or analyzing, write down anything and everything that comes to mind that you would like to co-create/manifest in 2026. Be specific, be creative and think big; however, your list should be at least 70 percent possible and believable. Write until your brain is empty – don't worry about being greedy! The Universe loves to be generous!!! Important: write everything in present tense using "I am" and use verbs to enthusiastically and specifically express what you want. For instance, "I am joyfully and easily securing a new job that is professionally fulfilling and offers me the opportunity to do what I love." Include how you will FEEL - this is crucial because we're actually chasing the feeling, not just the goal. Choose a place to display your list where you can see it regularly and treat it as something sacred. Better yet, record yourself reading your list aloud with feeling and emotion - your own voice is hypnotic. Listen to this recording daily, multiple times a day if possible. Create a playlist of 3-5 songs (at least 20 minutes) that make you feel enlivened, connected to your purpose, and energized for the future. Choose forward-thinking songs that uplift you, not songs that make you nostalgic or sad. Listen to this playlist frequently - ideally while taking a walk and listening to your recorded manifestation audio. Frequently throughout the year, review your list (every day is ideal). Read what you wrote aloud and feel free to add to it. January 1st is not the only day of the year in which you can call in what you want! Believe in the possibility of your manifestation power. Observe with gratitude as things in your life begin to manifest. Celebrate AND do not beat yourself up or get discouraged over what is not happening. Focusing more on what is abundant in our lives ALREADY is the best way to generate more abundance. Remember that sometimes our timeline and the Universe's timeline may be different. Resolve to live your life in alignment with what you truly want to manifest. Rid yourself of any emotional, mental, physical, or interpersonal clutter so that you can get out of your own way. Co-creating and manifestation takes action as well as thought and belief, so resolve this year to take steps to truly LIVE your best life. Love, Christine

This week, I'm talking about what real growth looks like when a practice outgrows its space, and how the next move feels both exciting and terrifying. We're preparing to move, so I'll take you through what it's like expanding into a new building, the hidden costs that come with change, and why progress often shows up disguised as stress first.I also revisit the early days: delayed openings, unexpected obstacles, and the relentless hustle required before a single patient ever walks through the door.Sometimes you have to pause, reflect, and ask: where did this all start, and where could it go next?What you'll learn about in this episode:What inspired the decision to expand into a significantly larger clinic building.How major clinic moves commonly create short-term drops in patient volume.Why operational changes can disrupt established systems and daily workflows.How repeated staff training becomes essential during periods of rapid transition.Scheduling strategies that reduce patient disruption during a condensed moving timeline.How early licensing and regulatory obstacles delayed our initial clinic opening plans.The emotional realization of success occurring before patient care officially begins.Why acknowledging progress strengthens resilience during demanding growth phases.The long-term vision that extends beyond daily adjustments and clinical routines.How hiring challenges increase as clinic scale and operational complexity grow.What behind-the-scenes systems support sustainable multi-location expansion plans.How year-end reflection can help out clearer goal setting for the coming year. Our website: https://pathtovictorychiro.com Our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victoryspinalcare  

The holidays can be dazzling and demanding at the same time—lights and laughter on the outside, pressure and mixed emotions on the inside. We tackle that paradox head-on with simple, compassionate mindfulness tools you can use in real time to steady your nervous system and protect what matters most.We start with family dynamics, where old patterns and sensitive topics often intensify stress. You'll learn mindful listening that lowers reactivity, silent loving-kindness that shields your heart without excusing harmful behavior, and practical boundaries that let you say no or leave early when you feel drained. We also share a quick “mindful escape” you can use during any gathering to re-center in under a minute.From there, we shift into the money and meaning of the season. Explore mindful giving that starts with intention, mindful receiving that honors care even when the gift misses the mark, and mindful consumption that aligns spending with your values. Before you click buy, try a single breath and two questions: Is this needed, and does it match what matters? Those tiny pauses can prevent debt-fueled stress and restore a sense of peace.To make mindfulness easy and portable, we teach the STOP technique—Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Proceed—as well as a sensory reset that encourages you to smell the pine, taste the first bite, and listen to one song without multitasking. We close by highlighting the most generous offering of the season: your full presence. Put the phone down, make eye contact, and truly listen; that attention becomes a gift that outlasts any box or bow.If this conversation helps you breathe a little easier, follow the show, share it with a friend who might need it, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools.

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self.Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life.Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness.The Key Elements To Freedom:Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker.New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

These words hit hard when my husband and I realized my son would not be home for Christmas this year. In his third year of college, he has a girlfriend and wants to spend Christmas with her and her family. While we love who he's with and want him to have a good relationship with her family, it hurts us deeply that we won't get to see him during one of our favorite times of the year. For me, my favorite part of Christmas is not opening presents for myself, but watching my children open their presents on Christmas morning. It just won’t be the same without him. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one or a loved one won't be at Christmas like you'd hoped, you are not alone. Many of us will have a different type of Christmas this year. Sometimes it's because family and loved ones can't make the trip to see you. For others, it's a financial issue, and relatives can't afford to buy presents like they used to. A great way to make the most of the holidays, even if they don't look like you remember, is to create new traditions. While it's OK to have feelings like anger and sadness over the loss of years past, the best way to forge ahead is to make new memories in this new chapter in your life. For us, it means making the most of having our daughter home in the few remaining years she has left with us. It also means connecting with our son through Zoom or phone so we can be together for the holidays. It is difficult to hold on to hope when it seems like all is lost. The above verse tells us that when we hold out hope for something that seems far beyond our reach, it can feel as if our life is falling apart. However, God is a God of miracles. He can turn any situation to his advantage. Above all, he can respond to requests, even the most difficult ones, in a moment. The verse above reminds us not to give up hope. Keep on praying. Keep on asking God to answer your prayer request, even if it has been years. Christmas is a time for miracles! Our ability to still pray for situations that seem nearly impossible tests our faith, stretching and growing us spiritually. God wants us to rely on him and ask him in faith for anything. Although we may not always get what we ask for, it is essential that we still ask and pray, trusting that God will allow the situation to turn out exactly as he wants. Consider new ways to make the most of your holiday. Make contact with your relatives who won't be able to make the trip. Offer to pay for gifts for a loved one who is financially strapped this year. Observe the true meaning of the season by being the hands and feet of Christ, especially during the holiday season. Although the holidays are meant to be joyful, they aren't for everyone. Sometimes people grieve deep losses during the holidays. Just because someone is suffering doesn't mean you can't help them make the most of it. If you're the one grieving, lean on others for help. Don't be afraid to ask for prayer or for help from those who can offer it. It may mean your family members bring the side dishes while you provide the main entree for the holiday meal. Perhaps it means not giving gifts this year. Whatever you need to do, do it to make your holiday the best it can be. Even if it's not the way you hoped, do what you need to do. Christmas ultimately is not about gifts or extravagance. Instead, it is about spending time with loved ones who are near you. It is also a great way to connect with those who are far away. If your relatives can't come to you, go to them and make the effort to see them. Pray and ask God for everything, even the situations that seem hopeless. Don't allow your heart to be troubled. Instead, make the most of your holiday season and do what you can to connect with loved ones and observe the real meaning of the season. Father, let us be people who remember who you are and what the holiday season is for. Let us remember that Christmas is not about gifts, but instead about being connected to family. Let us reach out to communicate with family members who cannot make it this season. Amen. Intersecting Faith & Life: Is there a loved one - someone you haven't seen but would love to connect with - this holiday season? What is one step you can take to make that connection happen?

Is everyday stress quietly rewiring your child's brain? Learn how chronic stress reshapes the nervous system, affects emotional regulation, and how small, practical lifestyle changes can protect your child's brain health.Parenting a child whose emotions swing from calm to chaos can feel overwhelming. Everyday pressures—school demands, social tension, family stress—can quietly rewire your child's brain, pushing it into a constant state of survival mode. But the good news? You can change these patterns.In today's episode, we break down how chronic stress affects brain development, why your child may seem "overly reactive" or withdrawn, and practical tools you can use to build emotional resilience and calm.Why does my child overreact to small stressors?Your child's brain is highly responsive to repeated stress, especially those with trauma, neurodivergence, or sensory sensitivities. Chronic stress strengthens fear circuits in the amygdala while weakening prefrontal cortex control, making your child more prone to anxiety, meltdowns, or overreaction.Takeaways:Frequent stress rewires the brain: the more your child experiences stress, the stronger the fear pathways become.Behavior reflects the brain: meltdowns aren't misbehavior—they're signs of an overactive stress response.Small moments add up: transitions, noise, or school pressures can overflow your child's stress cup.Real-Life ExampleJess noticed her son melting down every afternoon. By adding a quiet snack and a two-minute decompression before homework, she saw his meltdowns reduce within a month.How can I tell if my child's nervous system is overstimulated or under-stimulated?Overstimulation looks like constant movement, big emotions, defiance, sleep troubles, and hyper-reactivity. Under-stimulation shows as daydreaming, zoning out, sluggishness, or excessive caffeine use in teens. Both reflect dysregulated stress response patterns.Tips for parents:Observe daily patterns in behavior and energy.Offer micro resets: 1–2 minute stretches, humming, tapping, or deep breathing.Track stressors to notice triggers and early warning signs.Quick CALM™ gives your child fast, simple tools to reset their nervous system and regain emotional control in moments of stress. With easy, science-backed techniques, it helps kids stay grounded, focused, and calm—so you can reduce meltdowns and boost everyday resilience.What can parents do to protect the brain during stressful moments?Regulate first, teach second. Your calm acts as the anchor for your child's nervous system. Predictable routines and lifestyle changes—hydration, sleep, magnesium-rich foods—help balance stress hormones and protect brain structure.Action Steps:Incorporate short, frequent nervous system breaks.Prioritize predictable schedules and safe environments.Co-regulate for connection before correction—behavioral learning happens when your child feels safe.

I talked to Ethel Tan about confidence, early red flags, choosing partners with intention, and how our upbringing shapes the way we date. We got into what makes relationships last, why observation matters before commitment, her journey from theater to stand-up, and my own path from stripping to coaching. If you've ever questioned how to pick the right person—or how to stay true to yourself while dating—this conversation will help you see things differently.

He brought the vessels into the treasury of his god. 3 The king told Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, [2] to bring some young Israelite men from the royal family or from the nobility. 4 He was to choose young men who had no blemish, who were good looking, who had insight into all kinds of wisdom, who possessed knowledge, understanding, and learning, and who were capable of serving in the king's palace, in order to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. [3] 5 The king assigned them daily rations from the special royal food and from the king's own wine. He ordered that they should be trained for three years. At the end of training they were to serve the king. 6 In this group of young men were the Judeans Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 7 The chief of the officials gave them new names. He gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar, Hananiah the name Shadrak, Mishael the name Meshak, and Azariah the name Abednego. The Young Men Are Steadfast in Their Faith 8 Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the special food of the king or with the wine that he drank. So he sought permission from the chief official, so that he would not have to defile himself. 9 God made the chief of the officials favorable and sympathetic toward Daniel. 10 Then the chief of the officials said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink. Why should he see your faces looking less healthy than those of the other young men who are your age? You put my life at risk before the king.” 11 Daniel said to the superintendent whom the chief of the officials had placed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days. Tell them to give us only vegetables, and we will eat them and drink water. 13 Observe our appearance and the appearance of the young men who eat the special royal food. Then deal with your servants based on what you see.” 14 So he listened to what they said about this and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of ten days, their appearance was noticeably better than that of the others. They were healthier than any of the young men who had been eating the special royal food. 16 So the superintendent permanently took away the special royal food and the wine they were to drink and gave them only vegetables. 17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and insight into all kinds of literature, as well as wisdom. In addition, Daniel also understood every kind of vision and dream. 18 At the end of the time which the king had set for them to be brought to him, the chief of the officials brought them before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king spoke with them, and none of the others were found to be comparable to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they served the king. 20 In every matter concerning wisdom and understanding that the king sought from them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians [4] and spell casters in his entire kingdom. 21 So Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus. Footnotes Daniel 1:2 That is, Babylon Daniel 1:3 The term may refer to eunuchs, but it is not limited to this meaning. Daniel 1:4 The Chaldeans were the ethnic group ruling Babylon. Daniel 1:20 The distinctions between the various kinds of occult practitioners are unclear. #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

Maxout Your Mind Masterclass Ep. 6 | Finding Gratitude in the Fire. Have you ever realized that the quality of your life is really the quality of what you choose to notice? In this masterclass, I take you into one of the most profound shifts I have ever made in my own life. It is the shift from rushing through life to observing it, from living in reaction to living with awareness, and from focusing on what is missing to recognizing the blessings that have been with you all along. This lesson is about learning how to find gratitude even in the fire and discovering the strength, clarity, and peace that shows up the moment you start paying attention. In this episode, I share how becoming an observer of my life completely transformed how I think, how I feel, and how I make decisions. When you deepen your awareness, everything changes. Your relationships become richer. Your intuition sharpens. You begin to feel more connected to yourself, to God, and to the people around you. You start to notice the beauty in the smallest moments. I break down how something as simple as holding your gaze a few seconds longer, paying attention to your breathing, or putting your phone away can unlock a level of gratitude and presence you may not have felt in years. You are also going to learn the seven questions I use to regain control of my emotions when life feels overwhelming. These questions help you shift meaning, redirect your focus, release what you cannot control, and find a perspective that strengthens you instead of breaking you. When you master these internal questions, you master your emotional world. And when you master your internal world, your external world begins to change with it. I also walk you through a powerful reminder about your lineage and the thousands of lives that had to exist for you to be here today. You are not a random accident. You are the result of generations of courage, sacrifice, and survival. When you understand that, your challenges take on new meaning, your blessings become clearer, and your life becomes something you honor instead of something you battle. There is purpose in your pain and power in your presence. You just have to hold on long enough to see it. This week, I want you to slow down. Observe. Notice. Hold the gaze a little longer. Tie the knot and hold on for one more day. You are being rebuilt. You are stronger than you think. And the gratitude you find in this fire will become the fuel for the next season of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS How becoming an observer of your own life increases gratitude, peace, and clarity Why presence is the foundation for better decisions, deeper relationships, and emotional strength The seven questions that instantly shift your emotional state and reframe stress The power of redirecting your attention from what you lack to what you possess How perspective, lineage, and faith give meaning to your challenges Why tying a knot and holding on for one more day can change the trajectory of your entire life

You did the therapy. You read the books. You know your childhood patterns. So why do you keep running into the same toxic situations?Here's what I've discovered after six years of coaching divorced women: the awareness you need goes deeper than you think.Yes, you know your family-of-origin patterns. But there's a second layer most women miss—the conditioning around how women "should" behave in relationships with men.Think about it. You match with someone on an app, and the moment he shows interest, something shifts inside you. You feel pressure to prove your loyalty. To respond on his timeline. To show gratitude that he chose you.That's not your childhood trauma. That's decades of programming about what women owe men.This conditioning affects how you see your body, how you feel about dating multiple people, and how you respond when a man expects access to your time and attention.The path forward? Notice without judgment. Slow down. Observe your knee-jerk reactions. Ask yourself: what belief drives this behavior?Then decide what works for you—not what society dictates.Self-compassion matters here. Shame will surface. That's okay. Love yourself through it. Adjust without beating yourself up.You hold the power to create new patterns that lead you to the right person.Ready to break free from the patterns that hold you back?Schedule a dating consultation call with me and let's map out your path to a relationship that works for you.
