Deep dives
The Power of Consciousness
Consciousness is about caring and awareness, caring for ourselves, others in our lives, others in the world, and even the world itself. It can be cultivated by getting out of our own minds and acknowledging our interconnectedness. Four levels of human consciousness are described: egocentric, ethnocentric, world-centric, and spirit consciousness. Cultivating consciousness leads to a more fulfilling life and the ability to positively impact others.
The Significance of Consciousness
Consciousness is often misunderstood and overused. Instead, it should be understood as a measure of how much we care. Cultivating consciousness involves embracing caring relationships, expanding awareness, and recognizing that life is not just about oneself. Focusing on consciousness allows for personal growth and a deeper experience of joy and fulfillment.
The Shift to Consciousness
Consciousness can be characterized in four levels: egocentric, ethnocentric, world-centric, and spirit consciousness. While people may fluctuate between these levels, the goal is to strive for a more expanded and holistic consciousness that goes beyond self-interests and embraces caring for humanity and the world as a whole. Embracing consciousness enhances empathy, understanding, and interconnectedness.
The Power of Food for Healing and Vibrant Living
Using food as medicine, particularly adopting a pre-colonial diet that focuses on unrefined, plant-based whole foods, can have profound impacts on health. Through this approach, chronic illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and infertility can be healed or significantly improved. By reconnecting with nature and ancestral food practices, individuals can experience increased energy, improved wellbeing, stronger relationships, and a positive ripple effect within their communities.
What is consciousness? Consciousness is simply, caring – and in this episode, you'll hear from two business owners who have built thriving companies based on this gift: Nicolette Richer and Andy Ruben.
Inspired by her grandmother from Malawi, Nicolette is on a mission to help people reconnect with the wisdom and awareness of their ancestors to heal disease. Andy, the founder of Yerdle, belives that a circular sharing economy allows us to experience life more fully, while protecting our environment – and that it's even good for business.
