Today we are joined by spiritual teacher and highly attuned empathic healer, Matt Kahn, to discuss the nuances of spiritual awakening and moving from the head to the heart. Matt explains this journey of becoming our truest selves as one where we must learn to balance the mind and the heart, navigating the fallbacks of ego as we move forward on our spiritual path. He provides a very useful framework for how to move through this with grace and in turn unlock a higher state of being. He and André discuss the spiritual ego, transforming trauma, the power of forgiveness, and navigating the balance of grace and boundaries.

Back before corporations acquired (and systematically destroyed) rock radio by playing the same 10 songs on perpetual repeat into the dirt, radio disc jockeys used to actually have some control over their “playlists” and would sometimes throw on a song that wasn’t a normal rock radio favorite: maybe something that wasn’t a “hit single”, or something for which there was no “music video”; something longer, something unusual, something off the beaten path: we call these Deep Cuts. That’s what us Metal Nerds call “The Good Stuff”. And when it comes to Black Sabbath, it’s ALL Good Stuff!!! There’s just one problem: because WE THE NERDS here at Metal Nerdery are already so intimately familiar with what shall be henceforth known as “The First Six”, it was kind of a challenge for us to each pick our favorite 6 deep cuts from The First Six Black Sabbath albums. There were a few that overlapped on our respective listicles but we tried to go as deeply as we could to give those of you who are only familiar with side 1 of ‘Paranoid’ a nice sampling of what we call “That GOOD Sabbath”. JOIN US after you’ve finished your bowl (of breakfast cereal) as we discuss our favorite “deep cuts” from our favorite first 6 albums by our favorite First Godfathers of Metal, Black Sabbath.

I had an experience recently that really made me rethink whether or not I was on the right path, and had ask myself... Does the Universe have a better plan than yours? If you feel blocked, stuck, or like you're trying and failing... watch this episode! The post Does the Universe Have a Better Plan Than Yours? appeared first on Katie Campbell.
My Two Cents – Ep. 31 – Abundance Hack – Are You Confusing the Universe? Have you ever wanted something, thought about it incessantly, only to proclaim at a later time that you don’t? What if I told you that that action alone could be preventing you from multiple things – from a car to a successful business? “Everything you do, say and think is manifesting something physical. It’s creating a result.” Any hands up in agreement? I’m guessing I have a few skeptics. So before you think I’m getting all “woo-woo” on you, let me frame it from two different perspectives. No. 1 – If you’re a believer in the Law of Attraction, you understand and likely support this theory. Your energy attracts other like energy. No. 2 – You either don’t believe in this theory or you’re just unsure of it – and that’s OK! What I have to say will still resonate because what you think and say directly affects your subconscious and what you do (and how it affects your financial results). When your thoughts and statements are contradicting one another – you are ultimately holding yourself back. Let me give you an example… In your heart, you like nice things, but when you’re talking to your friends, you tell them that you don’t. Or you would love a new luxurious car, but again, you downplay it by saying it doesn’t matter, you just want to have a car that “gets you from point A to point B.” If this sounds familiar to you, you’re not alone! Everyone, at one time or another, has done this very thing. We do it to fit in or justify where we’re at in life in this very moment. But ultimately, your mixed messages are confusing the hell out of the Universe. “When you tell these little lies to feel happy for 30 seconds, they’re actually robbing you of lasting happiness for years to come.” And you may be turning away future success, too. I mean, what successful person is going to want to partner or help someone who doesn’t welcome/attract success themselves? It’s not until we start to live more unapologetically and make a habit of being honest with ourselves (and those around us) that we will start manifesting what we want in our financial picture. Let’s start getting you what you really want by giving the Universe a clear message.

Neil deGrasse Tyson was asked by the Templeton Foundation to answer the question "Does the Universe Have a Purpose". Then he read his answer aloud and I drew some pictures for it.
