It’s said to work on the whole body, mind and spirit. The way it works is a reiki practitioner “lays hands” as they call it, which really means they hover their hands about an inch above different parts of your body for a given period of time. And in doing this they help to move energy through your body, or even act as a channel and transfer energy from themselves to you.   In most spiritual beliefs, our energy is responsible for a lot in our lives, so this type of energy healing can alleviate pain, reduce symptoms of almost any disease, promote relaxation, decrease stress and anxiety. There’s a growing number of cancer patients that swear by it. Even hospitals like Johns Hopkins have star

We will learn: How the story you’re attaching to your breakup makes it that much more painful The difference between feeling your emotions and feeding them How to set a new standard for love Why is it that breakups hurt so badly? We have a tendency to base our value on feedback from the outside world so rejection in a relationship can feel like rejection of who we are… rather than for what it is… just simply incompatibility.Breakups can feel like more than just losing a partner, it can feel like you’re losing your friends, your routine, the future you’ve been imagining, maybe your identity, and sometimes, even your living space or your dog or whatever you’ve shared together.So how do you start pulling yourself together when you just feel like a broken mess?And how do you make sure that each relationship is a stepping stone to something better, rather than just repeating the same mistakes over and over again?That’s what we’re talking about today.Our guest is Amy Chan.

  We will learn: How to change your mindset about something while still honoring your emotions How to reverse hardwired patterns of negative thinking Simple tools for creating a beneficial mindset that even a child can learn   Self growth isn’t just about finding the right tools… it’s about finding the right tools that work for you.   And those might change as you change.    Whenever I start to feel like I’m making things more complicated than they need to be, I get back to the basics.   “I am not my thoughts.” “My thoughts are habits.” “What I give energy to is what will grow.” “I always have the power to change my perspective.” A simple shift in perspective has the power to change my reality.   Simple but powerful truths. And we need to keep them simple because complicated doesn’t work when we’re overwhelmed.   So today we’re simplifying some of the most powerful mindset tools. Our guest is Barron Steffen. His story is so moving. He lost his wife unexpectedly and at the time he was already deep into a spi

Or maybe, there was a time you felt motivated but you just can’t figure out how to tap into that again. What if motivation is not one-size-fits all, and we just haven’t yet figured out our unique motivation code? That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Todd Henry, author of Motivation Code among other brilliant books. he helps people access their brilliance through speaking, writing and his company Accidental Creative.  His book motivation code isn’t just his own anecdotal findings.

There’s also more people on earth than there’s ever been before, but somehow, we’re lonelier than we’ve ever been. How do we come back to connection? What are we missing? I think we’re all so busy broadcasting our opinions and perfectly curating our images online that we don’t really get to know people or let people get to know us… and I mean the real us, not the Instagram versions of us. But here’s the thing… just like with everything else in life, that change starts with you. And me. To be the kind of listeners that cultivate deep and meaningful connections, we have to know how right?   So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Terri Lonowski, She has a Masters in

We will learn:  How do we know if we haven’t healed from a betrayal The 5 stages of betrayal - including emotions and mental symptoms A 4 step process to start to trust again This episode has an accompanying worksheet for MEMBERS ONLY.

Why does it feel so unexpected even when often there were plenty of warning signs? And most importantly, what do we do afterward?Betrayals shatter our worldview, whether coming from a boyfriend or a friend or a family member, it cuts deep. And because of this there are some serious repercussions if we don’t learn to deal with it. Betrayals can cause us to callous over so we don’t feel that kind of pain again, but in doing so, we also harden ourselves to love and intimacy and those Sex in the City kinda besties.And if we let that happen, the betrayer wins.That’s what we’re talking about today.Our guest is Dr. Debi Si

We will learn: How our personal struggles actually influence our biology How to examine the 4 points of your personal compass Why letting in is just as important as letting go It seems the most interesting, complex and inspiring people I know have all been through something really hard. They’ve struggled somehow.Struggles help us develop resilience. Often in order to survive, we start searching for things – help, resources, conversations, maybe something inside ourselves like our own strengths. But not everyone who struggles finds their light. Some stay in the darkness. Some feel beaten down by their experience and just can’t seem to find the strength to get up and out of it. They feel like the world is against them, or they’re a victim of their own circumstance. So what’s the difference? Why do some people’s struggles seem to make them, while others break them?So how do we start to find that meaning? How to we start to recognize the wisdom in our own achievements?

We will learn; How to take bold moves before you have it all figured out How trauma passes down and how to move through it How to push yourself to not just survive but to succeed   Humans have a co-existing need for individuality and belonging. We want to be our own people, and we want our unique identities to be know, but we also want to fit in and belong.   Now imagine being a refugee… you had no choice but to leave your country… you don’t speak the language well, you already feel displaced, and you end up somewhere that doesn’t exactly make you feel welcome.    How would that affect you?   How would it change the way you viewed yourself and the world?    Today’s episode tells the journey of a refugee and how her struggles affected her daughter.   Our guests today are Lan Cao and her daughter Harlan Van Cao.

Or maybe when it starts to get serious you pull away. Or maybe you don’t set any boundaries and then suddenly snap and lash out.Where do these patterns come from? That’s what we’re talking about today, specifically Attachment Theory.

We will learn: How suffering prepares us for enjoyment and happiness The first step to finding our way out of our mental suffering How to navigate the emotions and thoughts that are surfacing right now both inside ourselves and within our personal relationships   Whether you’ve gone through something big and traumatic, or just feel overwhelmed by the day to day hardships, we all suffer. Even those that seem to have everything handed to them on a silver platter will find a way to create their own suffering. What if the number one thing you can do to ease your suffering is to figure out how to love yourself… actually realizing who you are at your core and understanding how to meet your own needs on a moment to moment basis.   Our relationships with ourselves are the most important relationships we have and ironically the ones that tend to be the most neglected.    Until we start connecting with ourselves and finding our own center, we’re going to continue to be thrown by everything happening around us.   So t

We will learn: The elements of behavior change and how to approach it How to use emotion to create lasting habits How to form communities to help make change a lot easier You know how devices like your phone and computer have a power-saving mode? Your brain has one too. It’s the autopilot system that takes over when you’re doing repetitive tasks, like driving to work or brushing your teeth. Your body and brain work in perfect harmony, almost like everything you do is carrying out a mission with total efficiency so you to perform better without even thinking about what you’re doing.The catch—this system is super valuable, but it’s also what makes it so hard to change our habits! Today, we’re going to talk about the actionable science behind building and breaking habits. The tips and tricks for real lasting change.Today we’re talking to BJ Fogg. He’s a Behavior Scientist and founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University and he founded the Behavior He’s not only a researcher, he also teaches industry

We will learn: How can you open your mind and heart to what is holding you back How to  open yourself up to the psychic dimension How to integrate the ego for a more unified self What’s your relationship to your ego? We get a lot of mixed messages about ego. I think the first things I understood about it was just what it means to have a big ego, or to be egotistical.What if instead of shunning the ego, we integrate it. We acknowledge its intention, even feel grateful for it, but just understand there are more pieces to the puzzle that need to be considered before just act on the ego’s impulse.Thinking about the ego this way can be a pretty big step in self love. And moving away from separation and towards unity. Because how can we really feel unity with our full selves if we’re resisting such a big part of our own humanity?So that’s part of what we’re diving into today. Our guest is Vincent Genna. Vincent is known as the “tell-it-like-it-is” and a truly authentic Spiritual Teacher and Psychic Therapist.Vincen

We will learn: The energies beneath our challenges Healthy vs unhealthy fear and the main causes of both How to connect with the center of your heart chakra to gain power and insight The biggest oversight we make in our spiritual journeys is to bypass the man experience.We think we can just overshadow any pain or negative emotion with positivity. Or shun our ego out of existence. Or we deny that we have any fear at all, because somehow fear is the opposite of love.Right now, we are experiencing a collective trauma. Healing really involves both our human and spiritual selves, to fully integrate what we’re going through into who we are becoming.If we bypass the human side of it, like denying our sadness or our pain, and trying to just overpower with the positive, or if we deny the spiritual side of it, like not paying attention to where energy may be blocked in the body, we don’t clear our the unresolved trauma. We miss half the lesson either way.So today we’re talking about our subtle energy bodies and how the

I like to go into ideas with the mindset of “what can I take with me from this?”So today, we’re going to take some lessons from Buddhism. Without knowing much about Buddhism, it quickly started to positively affect my life, sometimes with something as simple as a quote. There are so many good ones: “Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.”“Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.”“If you propose to speak always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.”There are just so many nuggets of wisdom that you can directly apply to basically every area of your life. If you’re a student of meditation, or you’re curious about it, it actually originat
