Buddhism's path to overcoming isolation and finding connection Have you ever felt like you're the only person in a crowded room? Like you're surrounded by people, but still feel a sense of isolation?Buddhism says that thinking we're all separate is just us being delusional. This delusion is one of the "Three Poisons" that keep us stuck in a cycle of suffering, or Samsara. So, the way out is to break down that illusion and see that we're all interconnected.So, what if that lonely feeling is actually a sign? A nudge to look deeper and see how we're all connected? That's what we're diving into today: Loneliness, Love, and Human Connection, all from a Buddhist perspective.Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, is a renowned thought leader, author, Zen teacher, and Jungian psychotherapist.

We will learn: The roles that both genetics and society play in perfectionism The three types of perfectionism... one of which is very surprising The damage that perfectionism really does, and how to begin to undo it Have you ever found yourself paralyzed by the pursuit of perfection?

So if we know that, then why are we still fooling ourselves?What if the key to unlocking your best performance lies in letting go of perfection? What if embracing the beautifully flawed process of creation could lead you to create things you didn't even know you could?Today, we're talking about The Curious Relationship Between Perfectionism and Performance. Our guest is Tom Curran.

We will learn: How to embrace and ground sensitivity How to understand defense mechanisms and the intelligence behind them How to use our energy to help children navigate fear and stress We are always co-creating, so when we talk about understanding our emotions better, it's not just for us. It's for everyone around us, too. When we're more in tune with how we feel, we can better understand others, and that's something the world really needs right now.So today, we're talking about how to attune to our relational energy fields. Our guest is Thomas Hubl.Thomas Hubl is a teacher, author, and international facilitator who finds beauty and fascination in both the realms of science and mysticism. He believes that these two parts of his identity reflect his inner self, with a deep love for both the rationality of science and the mystical processes that shape our inner beings. Thomas refers to this combination as "inner science," as he sees the connection between the contemplation and spiritual practices of mystics throughout history and the scientific experiments conducted in the pursuit of knowledge. He embraces the duality within himself and seeks to integrate these forces for a more holistic understanding of the world.Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/313 Become a Mind Love Member for high-value Masterclasses, Growth Workbooks, Monthly Meditations, and Uninterrupted Listening FREE 5-Days to Purpose Email Course Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspired Support Mind Love Sponsors Learn more about your ad choices.

We will learn: How to handle the pressure to conform How to stay open to different ways of experiencing spirituality The concept of eternity as the opening to oneness When was the last time you questioned something so deeply rooted within you that it felt like a part of your identity? Maybe it's cultural or the values of your family.Or maybe the religious beliefs you grew up with, or the spiritual path you were told was the right one. But what happens when those rules or beliefs don't sit well with you?Our spiritual paths are incredibly individual, shaped by our experiences, lessons, and what our souls came to this lifetime to learn. What didn't resonate with you might be exactly what someone else needs. It might be their stepping stone to spiritual growth or precisely the lesson their soul seeks.And here's the beautiful part: We can walk our paths and let others walk theirs. We don't have to agree. We don't even have to understand. We just have to be okay with letting others find their way, just like we're finding ours.So today, we're talking about embracing Diversity in Spirituality. Our guest is Mark Nepo. He is a poet and philosopher who has taught in the fields of poetry and spirituality for over thirty years. He's also the author of several books including, “The Book of Awakening,” and “Surviving Storms.”Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/312 Become a Mind Love Member for high-value Masterclasses, Growth Workbooks, Monthly Meditations, and Uninterrupted Listening FREE 5-Days to Purpose Email Course Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspired Support Mind Love Sponsors Learn more about your ad choices.

When was the last time you felt the thrill of the unknown?Most of us are creatures of habit. We like knowing what's around the corner. The unknown is scary and uncomfortable. It's... well, it's unknown.The problem is most people don't even realize their so-called comfort zones are actually quite uncomfortable. They're kinda miserable, but at least they know what to expect.But if you look into the tunnel of the unknown with a different mindset, you open up to, "What if I completely transform my life? What if I discovered a joy I've never accessed before? What if I change a life? What if I change a lot of lives?”So today, we're making friends with the unknown. We're choosing to see it as a playground of possibility instead of something to be afraid of.Our guests are Nathan and Susannah Furr, the authors of The Upside of Uncertainty.

We will learn: The secret sauce behind the mindset of great sellers and the two pivotal questions that kickstart their journey. The intriguing concept of "The Unsold" and the lessons we can learn from them. How intentional ignorance can be a surprising game-changer in your sales strategy. Have you ever stopped to consider what it truly means to sell?Most people see sales as a necessary evil, a grueling task to be endured. They're stuck in the status quo, viewing sales as a zero-sum game where one person wins, and the other loses. But what if we could redefine what it means to sell?Whether you're a teacher inspiring students, a parent encouraging your child, or a friend offering advice, you're selling. You're selling ideas, beliefs, and possibilities. And the better you are at it, the more impact you can make.That's exactly what we're going to explore in this episode. We're going to dive into the concept of the "Unsold Mindset" with Garrett Brown and Colin Coggins. They're here to challenge our preconceived notions about sales and show us how it can be a force for good, a tool for transformation. They've been on a quest, picking the brains of the best - CEOs, athletes, artists, you name it. And guess what? They all had a unique take on selling, breaking the mold of what we think a salesperson should be. They were all unsold on the traditional sales script and unsold on fitting into a box.Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/308 Become a Mind Love Member for high-value Masterclasses, Growth Workbooks, Monthly Meditations, and Uninterrupted Listening FREE 5-Days to Purpose Email Course Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspired Support Mind Love Sponsors Learn more about your ad choices.

We will learn: How self-inquiry can help us see ourselves more clearly How crisis and disaster can be liberating How our shadow parts can be a guide for growth You know that feeling, right? When you're stuck in the loop of worries, imagining all sorts of disastrous scenarios, and feeling your anxiety rise. Or when you find yourself catastrophizing, blowing the tiniest things completely out of proportion.There's an ancient wisdom that's been around since the time of the ancient Greeks that might help you rewire this negative thinking. It's about altering our perspective for the better, just as we like to do it here at Mind Love. This wisdom finds its roots in Stoicism, and it's a little thing known as "premeditation." But, it's more than just a trick - it can be life-changing.So today, we're diving into all that Stoicism has to offer us with Mark Matousek. He is an award-winning author, teacher, and speaker whose work focuses on transformative writing for personal, professional, and spiritual development.
