Most people are just plain wrong about how to be happy. And that's sad and kinda ironic because it's one of the things people want most. In this episode, we're going to be talking about the myth of happiness, where true, lasting happiness comes from, and the little secret you need to know to have it sneak up and blossom in your life without even really intending it to. The Group Frequency Calibration® (GFC) associated with this episode will help you to begin to come out of your head and more into the present moment, and for a moment amplify that resonance of completion so you can begin to realize that you're enough exactly as you are, which amazingly, is the only floor of happiness. Without clearing these layers it can be easy to believe that happiness is something “out there” that you have to chase, and that there's something that you must obtain or achieve in order to get it.

The "wrong" way you've been wanting to practice Reiki might actually be the revolutionary approach the healing world desperately needs. This episode dismantles the mainstream narrative that perfect protocols equal powerful healing, exposing how rigid structures often block the very Spiritual wisdom they're meant to channel.In this transformative episode, you'll discover:• Why your internal battle between training & a new way forwards isn't a flaw – it's your Spiritual sovereignty emerging through protocol conditioning, signaling you're ready for the next evolution of your practice• The Protocol Paradox explained – how the systems designed to connect us to healing energy become the exact barriers blocking its most profound expression (and why clinging to them out of fear creates energetic resistance)• The critical difference between being a protocol technician vs. a sovereign vessel – and why one client said after 12 years of receiving Reiki, working with a Spirit-led practitioner was the first time they experienced spiritual revelation FOR themselves, not TO them• How to honor tradition while pioneering your unique expression – understanding that Usui and other masters created starting points, not ending points, and would, I imagine, celebrate your evolution beyond their frameworks• A practical experiment for exploring sovereign healing – specific steps to release protocol dependency and document what emerges when you trust your direct spiritual connection over memorized methodsThis episode is essential listening for Reiki practitioners feeling restricted by traditional methods, those whose hands want to move "wrong," and anyone ready to transform from mechanical energy transfers into sacred collaborations with divine intelligence.Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Free on demand workshop: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Free community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/You'll find me most @reikiredefined TT and IG

In Minnesota, Native Americans experience homelessness at a much higher rate than other racial or ethnic groups. Many Native people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Minneapolis live in encampments, which have been criticized as areas ripe with violence and drug use.

The issue has risen to the forefront again following a shooting earlier this month at a homeless encampment in south Minneapolis that left one dead and six others injured.Joe Hobot is the CEO and president of the American Indian Opportunities and Industrialization Center in south Minneapolis and has a doctorate in education from Hamline University. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share his perspective.

Passionate about inspiring others to face fear with courage, Diane shows how even life's deepest losses can become gateways to growth and renewal.Throughout this episode, she shares how traveling alone through Ireland's winding backroads—often lost and confronting challenges like driving on the opposite side of the road—forces her to confront fear, grief, and self-doubt.

What if our understanding of repentance makes it harder than it needs to be?This insightful exploration of teshuvah (repentance) unveils a revolutionary approach, transforming this seemingly daunting spiritual task into something remarkably accessible. Drawing from the Torah's promise that this mitzvah "is not too baffling for you, nor beyond reach," we discover that the path of return might be closer than we ever imagined.The episode introduces the profound wisdom of Rabbi Shlomo Hoffman, whose psychological and spiritual insights have guided thousands through the complex terrain of genuine change. Through a powerful parable of a driver heading north instead of south, we learn that teshuvah isn't about reaching the destination; it's about recognizing your wrong direction and making the turn.Most remarkably, Jewish tradition offers competing models of repentance. The one we're encouraged to follow—Rabbeinu Yonah's approach—is surprisingly gentle. Yom Kippur atones not for those who have completed their transformation, but for those honestly engaged in the process of returning.For anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the demands of the High Holiday season, this perspective offers profound relief. The first step—honest self-awareness about what needs to change—is already considered teshuvah. This clarity, this moment of recognition, places you firmly on the path of return.As Rosh Hashanah approaches, allow yourself to embrace this compassionate understanding of spiritual growth. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step—or, in this case, a simple turn in the right direction.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

In this episode of Real Estate Success: The Whissel Way, Kyle Whissel and Bryan Koci dive into a topic often overlooked in discussions about scaling a real estate business—culture.

They unpack how to recruit and retain the right people, handle cultural misalignment (even with top producers), and develop deeper relationships with your top agents. Whether you lead a team of 5 or 120, this episode will give you the tactical insights to build a culture that fuels growth instead of fighting it.
