Changeable Podcast

Explore the difference between reality and imagination, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the present sensory experience. Delve into uncomfortable feelings, conditioning's influence on choices, and the mystery of experience.

In this episode, Change Coach Alex Linares and I discuss turning toward everything. Thoughts. Questions. Doubt. Discomfort. Seeking.We explore how subtle, immediate, and complete everything is (which, not surprisingly, is the exact opposite of how thought often portrays it). We feel this completeness when we immerse in it. We discuss how questions, doubts and seeking burn themselves out when we invite them to be exactly as they are.  All experience is safe and complete exactly as it is. I highly recommend hiring Alex if you’re looking for support for something you’re going through, or to explore the nature of experience in a very deep way.

Explore the biased nature of thoughts and why we don't need to rely on them. Question the purpose of holding onto thoughts and beliefs. Delve into the illusion of thought and how it shapes our perception of reality. Discover the impact of being mind-identified and the benefits of quieting the mind.

Change Coach Bill DeKramer and I talk allll about feeling in this episode! Bill shares a metaphor that came to him in his work with clients about waking a sleeping dog and how that relates to how we are with the emotions that arise.We discuss triggers, how every feeling is absolutely perfect, saying YES to all experience, what it’s like to feel what’s here free of any labels, how the inside-out understanding helped Bill feel with far more freedom, and so much more. Bill has some amazing insights about welcoming what arises and we go into this in a deep way in this episode.If you want to see more about Bill, his website is https://www.billdekramer.com/.

Today’s episode is the replay of a webinar I recently held with Rohini Ross on how the way we work with people and the way we mentor others to work with people is rooted in awakening from the illusion of the separate self rather than bettering things for who we take ourselves to be. I discuss the me-and-my-life paradigm that is dominant. From the perspective of a separate me with a life, suffering is inevitable. Huge ups and downs are inevitable. Hope, disappointment, and seeking are inevitable. It can’t really be any other way when we feel like a separate me with a life to manage. There is no winning the me-and-my-life game because everything we’re chasing is constantly changing.Our coaching looks in a totally different direction, toward awakening from that illusion. It’s not agenda-based or about bettering anything. It’s immediate. It’s about waking up to what is here now, in reality rather than in imagination (i.e., someday).Rohini’s sharing is really beautiful in this conversation. Enjoy!The post EP282: Coaching and the Illusion of the Separate Self  appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Do you ever feel like you hate yourself?  And do you sense the stigma around that feeling? When people share with me that they hate themselves, they often lower their voice and look around as if they are about to be hauled away. But who is this self that’s hated and who is the hater? What if feeling self-hatred and inauthenticity is actually super insightful? What if it suggests you’re seeing things quite clearly, actually?***Beginning January 10th, I’ll be leading a brand new course: The Welcoming What Arises Workshop. In the workshop we’ll lean in together, learning to fully embrace the felt sensations of life.

It seems that much of our experience is based on unquestioned assumptions. For example, it “seems like” we’re a separate self carrying ourselves through time and space. It “seems like” we have insecurity issues, or a history of addiction, or that conversation we just had didn’t go well.But what makes it “seem like” that? What are the aspects of that “seems like” experience, and how are they connected?Are they connected, or does it just “seem like” it?***Beginning in early January, I’ll be leading a brand new course: The Welcoming What Arises Workshop. In the workshop we’ll lean in together, learning to fully embrace the felt sensations of life.

The podcast emphasizes the need to be present with feelings of restlessness and aimlessness without constantly seeking a solution or purpose.

Today’s episode of Changeable is a portion of the last LSBC call in this fall’s 6-week course.  In this call, I talk about the difference between reality and imagination.
