Changeable Podcast

In this episode, Change Coach Chiara McHale shares some of the insights she’s had in her romantic relationship, and how the things she’s seen have led to a completely different relationship than she had in the past. This is a fascinating conversation about how a relationship can look when one or both people have a deep sense of who they are and how their experience works. Although we talk in detail about Chiara’s personal relationship, what she shares applies to all relationships.

This podcast explores the nature of problems and their existence within thoughts. It discusses the tendency to hold onto problems despite everything changing. The concept of looking at things without preconceived notions and labels is also explored, emphasizing curiosity of the unknown. Mindfulness and its impact on changing thought patterns is discussed. The multifaceted nature of anxiety and the power of being present are also examined.

It can look like there are things in our lives we need to accept. Acceptance is a concept, in this case. We have an idea of what acceptance is and what it looks like, and we’re told it’s a good idea if we don’t want to suffer.When we can’t accept (how do we even do that?), the flipside sometimes feels like resignation. “I can’t accept this health issue so I guess I’m resigned to the fact that this is ‘the way it is’. That feels like resignation (another concept, of course).But what is “the way things are”? How can there even be a “way things are” when this seamless flow of experience is constantly changing? Maybe that’s why acceptance feels so hard…?***On Tuesday, November 14th I’ll be hosting a webinar where you can hear all about the 2024 Change Coach Training Program. I’ll talk about the way the program works, who it’s for, and what people come away with personally and professionally.

Explore the difference between thinking and looking at experiences, delving into the essence of a problem by questioning the unanswerable. Emphasize the importance of looking deeper into our behavior, uncovering underlying emotions and patterns. Connect with the energy and sensations in the present moment, embracing the unknown with curiosity. Release attachments to alleviate suffering and frustration in life.

Chris Neibauer, author of No Self, No Problem, and Dr. Amy Johnson discuss how the left brain interpreter works, detaching from thoughts and embracing reality, the role of the left and right brain, the illusion of the self, leaving breadcrumbs in life, trusting the universe, and reflections on human thinking and spiritual growth.

A vague, ill-defined feeling of uneasiness is behind so much of what we do.  Look for yourself and see–is something we might label “restlessness” there in the background? Is it what gets you up from the couch, doing something “productive” rather than rest? Is it what runs you around from rest to the refrigerator, to your phone, to buy/do/consume/help something?What happens when you sit? When you’re not productive, helpful, or useful, not contributing in any way? Can you even imagine what life might be like if that vague feeling of restlessness wasn’t a problem? If you just sat and felt it? If it had no power to get you up and run you around all the time? The post EP271: Restlessness appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

I often hear parents say these things to their children about emotion:  “You decide how you feel.” “You choose your reactions.” “What other people say has no meaning except the meaning you give it.”We can ask ourselves: Are these things we heard somewhere that seem helpful, or are they our direct experience? Do you–mom or dad or aunt or uncle or teacher–decide how you feel? Or is that just an empowering statement you hope is true?I don’t think we can go wrong when we share from our own direct experience. It’s also worth exploring the flip side of these “empowering” statements. What happens when your child is told they are in charge of their own feelings and their feelings continue to be painful? What conclusions might they draw? The post EP270: What we teach young people about emotion appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

This podcast discusses the concept of staying present and finding contentment in the present moment. It explores the futility of constantly seeking external solutions for happiness. The speakers emphasize the importance of recognizing our own intelligence and clear mind for natural action.

Are you examining the nature of experience in order to see through the illusion of you as a separate, limited self?  Are you trying to “smoke the veil” that has you feeling separate from life? I’ll talk about the ways we do that, plus share a couple stories of how my husband successfully “smoked the veil” on identities and experiences he wanted to shed. ***The Little School of Big Change begins on September 11th.
