Mind Love™ • Consciousness, Spirituality, and Science for Awakening

We will learn: The only true problem humanity has ever faced and how to transcend it. How to go from efforting to aligning. The higher perspective of everything occurring now and what is to come. I’ve noticed that whatever side of any of the many arguments that are front and center in the world right now, all views are based on fear.What if we could all act purely in love? What would that even look like? How would it feel? What would I do? What world would we co-create?The one thing I know for certain is that it’s impossible if we’re all driven by ego.So how do we rise above it?That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Paul Selig.Paul Selig is considered to be one of the foremost spiritual channels working today. His breakthrough works of channeled literature include I Am the Word, The Book of Love and Creation, The Book of Knowing and Worth, The Book of Mastery, The Book of Truth, The Book of Freedom, and the Beyond the Known Trilogy: Realization, Alchemy, and The Kingdom. Altogether he has recorded an extraordinary program for personal and planetary evolution as humankind awakens to its own divine nature.Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/255 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self.  Get Mind Love Premium for exclusive ad-free episodes and monthly meditations.  Support Mind Love Sponsors   Learn more about your ad choices.

We will learn: How a history of trauma affects recovery. How allies can reduce the shame and stigma that can prevent people with substance use disorder from asking for help. How to support your loved ones with the 4 pillars of recovery. Sometimes I wonder, what’s harder… struggling with addiction, or watching someone you love struggle and feeling totally helpless?And maybe we can’t speed up someone’s lessons. Maybe that’s not how it works. What’s trickier is that often the things we do to try to help, actually make the problem worse.So what do we do? How can we help a loved one both before they’re ready to help themselves, and then when they’re starting to see a better way?That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Alison Jones Webb. She’s a recovery ally, advocate, author, and seasoned public health specialist. She’s the author of Recovery Allies: How to Support Addiction Recovery and Build Recovery Friendly Communities.Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/254 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self.  Get Mind Love Premium for exclusive ad-free episodes and monthly meditations.  Support Mind Love Sponsors See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Giovanni Dienstmann, mindfulness expert, discusses mindful self-discipline. Topics include the limitations of habits alone, being goal-oriented and process-oriented, and the three pillars of mindful self-discipline. They also explore the importance of self-discipline in living in alignment with goals and values, the connection between self-discipline and spirituality, and the significance of understanding the deeper why behind goals. Additionally, they discuss living in the present moment, the difference between 'have to goals' and 'want to goals,' and the importance of self-belief and sacrifice in achieving self-discipline.

We will discuss: The slippery slope from alcohol to chronic depression. How to recognize the right time for change. How to support your own recovery with fun and humor, even in the midst of a mental health crisis. If you find yourself questioning your relationship with alcohol, or even just wondering what life or you would be like without it, this episode is for you. What I love about this episode is it’s more of a deep and honest conversation than an interview. We’re talking to Jason Carter. He is a husband, father, and entrepreneur who struggled for decades with depression and heavy drinking before beginning the journey to recovery. In his new memoir, To Hell I Ride: When a Life Examined Became Worth Living, he takes an unflinching look into the darkest corners of his past and how he found clarity—and ultimately redemption—on a family road trip from Texas to Telluride.

We will learn: How to move toward ambitions instead of away from frustrations. How to identify your unique genius. Keys to being more intentional about the creative process. Creativity is a key part of life, whether you’re selling something, leading a team, or trying to figure out something to do with your toddler on a Tuesday afternoon. We are always creating. So you can neglect this fundamental part of being human, or you can lean in and get better at it day after day. And that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Todd Henry. He is an author, international speaker, consultant, and advisor. He is the author of four books, which have been translated into more than a dozen languages. He was on the show back in episode 157 all about the hidden keys to motivation. And now he’s back to coach us through some daily practices to keep ourselves inspired and brilliant.

We will learn: How to break the trance of accumulation. How our filters warp our perception. How surrender opens us up to peace. What would it take for you to feel free? Physically, emotionally, spiritually, or even financially… what does freedom look like to you? Have you taken the time to think about it? For most of us, there’s some thing, or many things standing in the way of our freedom… or so we think. But what I find interesting is that most of the things that we think will solve our problems don’t. People with more money are still suffering. People in loving relationships, or in perfect physical health, or with more skills or with perfect bodies… all suffer. So why is it that we think any of those things will solve our problems? Our guest today is Emilio Diez Barroso. He was a lifelong seeker—seeking recognition, achievement, love, success, and finally, the ultimate carrot: enlightenment. He also has a masters in spiritual psychology and is the CEO of NALA Investments.

We will learn: The biggest mindset shift you can take on when meeting new people. How to deal with conflict in friendships, and how to decide which ones are worth the effort. How to optimize your socializing efforts and keep the friends you meet. Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? Or at least make really good friends. It can seem daunting and a little scary if you haven’t done it before, but the good news: there are specific, research-based ways to improve the number and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory and the latest scientific research on friendship. So today we’re going to talk about a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong, lasting connections with others—and for becoming our happiest, most fulfilled selves in the process. Our guest is Marisa Franco. She is a psychologist, a national speaker, a professor at The University of Maryland, and the author of “Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends”.

We will learn: How to make sure you have the right diagnosis. How to make sure your provider or your medications are the right fit. How to assist in your own recovery outside of therapy. When you’re depressed or struggling, it can be hard to do anything at all, let alone find a therapist, book an appointment, and actually get there… week after week after week. And then there are the medications. Maybe your doctor prescribes you something, but how do you know how to measure if it is effective? How do you know how long to try? Or when to switch? Is that even safe? And then why does therapy work so well for some and not for others? What should you be doing between sessions to feel the benefits? Well, that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Ken Duckworth. He’s the chief medical officer of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and has worked with NAMI since 2003. He is board certified in adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry and is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. His passion for this work comes from his loving dad, who had bipolar disorder.

We will learn: Why trying harder to face your fears, and using willpower to force decisions, simply do not work. Why avoidance reinforces anticipatory anxiety and chronic indecisiveness. The five steps of surrender to overcome indecision. If you look up why people are indecisive, you’ll get a number of answers like people pleasing, perfectionism, or a fear of taking responsibility.. but all of these come back to one thing: anticipatory anxiety. Anticipatory anxiety is essentially getting anxious about the possibility of being anxious. It’s when you basically get hijacked by your own imagination. But the thing is, indecision is not a personality trait. It’s a behavioral problem.The good news is, that means it can be changed. And in order to change it, it’s helpful to understand our personal areas of sensitivity, the patterns we create when we avoid decisions, and the underlying issues that can cause it. So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Dr. Sally Winston. She is a clinical psychologist, a master clinician in anxiety disorders and OCD, and co-author of 4 books with Dr. Martin Seif. She’s also the founder and Executive Director of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Institute.

We will learn: What a brain difference is, and what traits are associated with it.  How to shift your focus from your diagnosis to your potential.  How we can foster the qualities of geniuses and high achievers in our own lives.  Did you know there is an association between creativity and major mental disorders? And did you know this has been known for hundreds of years? The ancient Greeks thought of both as "having been touched by the gods.” And Aristotle said, “There is no genius without having a touch of madness.” So what does the science say? How can we transform the source of our struggles to be the origin of our greatest strengths? That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Dr. Gail Saltz. She is a bestselling author of numerous books, serves as a Medical Expert for the Physicians for Human Rights, and is the host of the podcast “How Can I Help?”. Dr. Saltz is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the NY Presbyterian Hospital Weill-Cornell School of medicine, a psychoanalyst with the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, and has a private practice in Manhattan.
