“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” ― Mother TeresaWhen we lose the connection to our reality we tend to lose our purpose and motivation. Coping mechanisms, like alcoholism, will further disconnect us and drive us on a spiral downwards. Listen to Nick Rothwell's story of childhood trauma pushing him to succeed at any price to finally crash and wake up to his own reality. Spoiler alert, allowing himself to connect with people and nature gave him...

Blocks are your perceptions of your past experiences that prevent you from growth and evolvement“Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.” – Dr. Roopleen, “Words To Inspire The Winner In You”Blocks are whatever in your life is holding you back from flowing with your purpose. These blocks can reside in, and have counter parts, in any of your bodies; physical, mental, energetic, soul and astral bodies. However,...

"The first thing that you can learn as a leader is that you are not working with robots but with emotional beings." - Pooja Agnihotre, "17 Reasons Why Businesses Fail : Unscrew Yourself from Business Failure"What is it that makes us connect emotionally with a business? There are certain conditions that have to be met in order for that to happen. I think we can all agree that the owners making as much money as possible limits the number of people that can emotionally connect with that purpose....

Help your business to become the best version of itself“A healthy business is a collaboration of individuals with matching energies, directing that energy in to their individual passions towards a mutual goal.” – The Alchemy ExperienceConceptualising all elements of a business as energy and any interactions as energetic flow allows us to assess the effectiveness, and ultimately to improve, any business, regardless of age, size, geographic location or industry.

"Take the challenge of your life. Reach out to your goals. There is no limit to what you can achieve." - Lailah Gifty AkitaThe basic foundation of conscious entrepreneurship is to always let your intuition have the last word. I write that with the caveat that you need to be in tune with your intuition and have cleared your energy to be able to have the discernment to be properly guided. Most of the most brilliant entrepreneurs I know were told at the beginning of their journeys that they were...

Become the optimal version of yourself to release your cords“Forgiveness is required to dissolve all the negative energy cords because it releases shame, guilt, anger, hatred, etc.” – Hina Hashimi “Your Life: A Practical Guide to Happiness, Peace and Fulfilment”I define a cord as, “An energetic linki that connects us to a person, place or an event”. It can be conscious or subconscious. If you are not connected with your own energy body, or simply don’t subscribe to the concept, you can see...

Understand the source of your procrastination and you have the road map to resolving it“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choices made for him by circumstances.” – Hunter S. Thompson, “The Proud Highway Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman”Procrastination is a form of self-regulation failure characterised by the irrational delay of tasks despite potentially negative consequences. Mentally it is a result of lacking will power to take action and the the reward...

Expressing emotions to release them“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” – Sigmund FreudWhen we pay attention to our emotions we realise they don’t emerge from our heads, they surface somewhere in our bodies. Those emotions are triggered by external events or our feelings triggered by our thoughts/memories. This means they were always there, but have we always been familiar with them, or are we yet to get to know them? My...

Sensitivity is a human superpower“She had a very inconvenient heart. It always insisted on feeling things every so deeply.” John Mark GreenA Highly Sensitive Person is defined in psychology as someone with a high measure of sensory processing sensitivity, i.e. someone who feels things far deeper than the next person. It is considered a personality trait. It was defined by Elaine and Arthur Aron in the 1990’s and they based their work on Wolfgang Klage’s work in the 1970’s. It is estimated...

Build your discipline to move towards what you want out of life“Spirituality is man’s attempt to shed ties with the various impulses promoting self-destruction” – Patricio Tehman ChincocoloFollow along here: discipline requires habitual practice, but habitual practice requires discipline. So which comes first? I think the answer is either one, but if we have neither we start off with sheer willpower. Discipline is underpinned by: Motivation Willpower Passion Goals Willpower is the starter...

Do you know your own behaviours?“We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviours.” – Stephen M.R. Covey “The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything”Behavioural science is defined as, “any of various disciplines dealing with the subject of human actions.” Our behaviours are based on our; experiences, conditioning, core wounding, programming, karmic energy, perceptions, etc. Most of us go through life asleep at the wheel justifying the behaviour based on our...

Take action with purpose supporting your highest good“The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma GandhiThere are, in my opinion, two types of action; inspired action and re-action. Resorting to re-action comes out of our core wounds and traumatic experiences that remain unhealed. From that, when emotions and fear are evoked and we are stuck in our heads unaware of our process, we react instinctively without control, in the heat of the moment as it were. Inspired action comes from our...

Are your words spreading high or low frequencies?“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.In terms of energy, words are expressed on one hand and received on the other. They hold an energetic frequency charged by our perception and intention. As we well know, we can use words to build up people or tear them down. We also know through such practices as hypnosis and Neuro-linguistic Practices (NLP) that we can...

Are you your thoughts or are you the thinker of those thoughts?“What you you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.” -Maya Angelou “Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now” Thought is energy that triggers chemical and neurological impulses that allow us to perceive the thought. Thoughts are triggered by: Past experiences Future expectations Fantasy and imagination Emotions In contrast to...

Are you awakening to your experiences, or will you hit snooze yet again?“We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.” – Tich Nhat HanhThere are comprehensive books written on the subject of awakening, so let’s not pretend that this article, nor the connected podcast will be the same. However, the intention is to present a basic understanding that anyone experiencing an awakening can resonate with. Actually there are almost 100 hours of recordings in the form of...

Take a good look at your cognitive biases“Oh, the irony. Cognitive Biases prevent us from understanding cognitive biases.” – Eric Barker, “Barking Up the Wrong Tree”Cognitive biases are unconscious errors in thinking that arise from problems related to memory, attention or other mental mistakes. Essentially, how do we attribute these mental experiences? As is pointed out in the initial quote, lacking the ability to reflect on oneself perpetuates the cognitive biases. The list of cognitive...

Learn to see the forest despite the trees“Most of us operate from a narrow frame of reference than that we are capable, failing to transcend the influence of our particular culture, our particular set of parents and our particular childhood experience upon our understanding” – M. Scott Peck ” The Road Less Travelled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth”Narrow framing is “a tendency of people to evaluate a risky prospect in isolation rather than in context with...

What will it take for you to start living your purpose?“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” – Friedrich Nietzsche Our purpose in life is not immediately revealed to us. We may be fed bits and pieces as we go along, but those pieces feel like our purpose in that moment we are pursuing it. However, most of us have our purpose firmly shielded from our conscious purview until we awaken to it. Awakening from our slumber of conditioning and living a “good” life. We go through...

"The only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down." - Stephen Richards "Cosmic Ordering: You Can Be Successful"The wealth mindset nowadays is intrinsically linked with materialistic wealth, but there must be more to it than that, mustn't it? I like to think of it in terms of "abundance" as opposed to "wealth". That shift allows me to be freed from the limitations of societal conditioning. Abundance encompasses all the aspects that make our lives rich; comforts, love, connections,...

"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome." - Isaak AsimovTransition between paradigms is, in my experience, akin to near death experiences. From one day to the next you shed your identity and you have to figure out who and what you are, that is the transition. We all approach transition and a variety of different ways, some seek out coping mechanisms, others turn inwards, some may seek out religion, causes or something else that brings meaning. It is...

"The sequence is, suffering, insight, will, action, change." - Allen Wheelis "How People Change"The process of paradigm shift is through profound change. It is awakening to a desire to discover and express one's authenticity. If we ignore the nudges long enough, the point at which we shift will be immediate and drastic, hitting rock bottom for many. The path we choose is a choice, we can choose to externalise the problem and try to use materialistic things to abate the challenge, or dive deep...

Anxiety can lead you to what you need to heal“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our hearts, we still cling to anything – anager, anxiety, or possessions, we cannot be free.” – Thich Nhat Hanh, “The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching: Transforming Suffering Into Peace, Joy and Liberation”Anxiety, in contrast to Depression, which concerns the past, is a fear about a future event. We essentially feel threatened at one level or another. Our...

What are you taking from and feeding into the Collective Emotions“I came to the conclusion that we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask. Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment” – Elon MuskCollective emotions, is that even a possibility, you may ask. Well, have you ever walked into a room or a party and immediately had a sense of the prevailing energy? I bet...
