We will learn:
Multi-sensory healing - your senses are the portals for your awareness
Why strong women often feel empty and disconnected inside
How to stop outsourcing your authority
Do you believe you can have it all? Or does a part of you believe that having it all is actually a little selfish?
As women, we’re given mixed messages, about pretty much everything. Thankfully we live in an era of female empowerment so there are plenty of stories of women being successful and raising a family.
But what I’ve found is that when it comes down to it… like when women are faced with the logistics of what it takes to have both, the choice becomes a little murkier.
We wonder if it’s selfish to outsource our parenting, or if it makes financial sense or what we’re depriving them of, or if we’ll have the energy to succeed and still be a good mom.
So today we’re talking to someone who has done it all.
Cherie Burton is a pioneering spiritual psychologist whose mission in life is to transform women into authentically embodied and empowered leaders.
She is also a mother of six, an author, an international speaker and host of the Women Seeking Wholeness podcast.

Would you consider yourself mentally strong? Do you even know what that means? Most people though equate mental strength with mental health. But according to the dictionary mental health is just the absence of a mental illness. Often it’s our struggles that motivate us to develop mental strength because we realize that the pain of change is less than the way things are.But here’s the thing, we don’t have to wait for things to get so bad that we’re forced to make changes in our lives. We can choose to consciously create our lives based on what we want out of it, rather than just based on what we don’t want to happen.Well today we’re going to learn how to develop the mental strength that will help us lead our best lives.Our guest is Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and the host of the Mentally Strong People podcast.

Work through Anxiety and Embrace Struggle • X27
We will learn:
How to release our resistance around things we can’t change
How to identify subconscious patterns that drive our behavior in subtle ways
How to relieve a panic attack in the moment
The holidays can be stressful, especially if you’ve been financially impacted this year.There’s all the gift expectations and shopping and cooking and planning… or maybe sadness because you can’t gather or trying to figure out how to make this season special for grandma.Anxiety is really just a feeling of worry or unease about the future. And how your mind and body manifest that unease might be different.There are a few mindset shifts that I think have played a huge role in my being able to overcoming my anxiety quickly.First, I don’t identify with it. It’s temporary and this step is critical to trusting yourself to move through your feelings.Second, train yourself to look within instead of placing blame outside of yourself. This also puts the power back in your hands because you can change how you’re approaching the moment, but you usually can’t change other people or events.Once your brain is primed that you have more power than you used to give yourself credit for, then you have all sorts of tools for dealing with anxiety in the moment.And that’s what we’re talking about today.Our guest is Jean Walters. She is a Transformational Coach and Best Selling author of 5 books specializing in spiritual and personal empowerment. She has been teaching metaphysical techniques and performing Akashic Record readings for 40 years.

We will learn:
How to stop resisting our stress
How to turn stress into an opportunity
And how to stop being bitter and remember why you’re celebrating
Stress is inevitable… especially as we’re right smack in the middle of the holidays, still navigating a pandemic, unemployment for a lot of people… and we know that stress has a pretty huge negative impact on our health… so … are we all screwed?No, not if we’re willing to examine our stress a little and change our relationship with it.It is actually possible to never have another problem for the rest of your life. This is because events are not problems; they’re just events. Your resistance to them is what causes the problem. But then the question becomes how do I do that? How do I step into a new mindset? How do I use life to let go of all my impressions of how things should be so I can also let go of the stress they create?Well, you have to become very conscious, especially of that mental voice that starts resisting whenever you think you don’t like something.And that’s what we’re talking about today.Our guest is Dr. Dravon James. She is the founder of Everyday Peace and the author of Freedom is Your Birthright. Her whole goal is to inspire others to build the life of their dreams no matter what shows up in their lives- good, bad, or otherwise.Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/161

Energy Healing with Reiki • X25
Sign up for Mind Love Premium here.
We will learn:
How to bring more awareness to the energies within our bodies
How to set an intention to hold space for someone else’s energy instead of being affected by
Some reiki techniques we can do on ourselves
Today we’re talking about an energy healing technique called Reiki. It’s said to work on the whole body, mind and spirit.
The way it works is a reiki practitioner “lays hands” as they call it, which really means they hover their hands about an inch above different parts of your body for a given period of time. And in doing this they help to move energy through your body, or even act as a channel and transfer energy from themselves to you.
In most spiritual beliefs, our energy is responsible for a lot in our lives, so this type of energy healing can alleviate pain, reduce symptoms of almost any disease, promote relaxation, decrease stress and anxiety. There’s a growing number of cancer patients that swear by it. Even hospitals like Johns Hopkins have started incorporating it and patients have reported faster recovery times.
So today we’ll be discussing is how to take the things we learn from reiki and apply it to our lives.
Our guest is Nathalie Jaspar is a Reiki master with over a decade of experience. She's a graduate teacher from the International House of Reiki. She also trained in Zen meditation and Buddhism and she’s the author of Reiki as a Spiritual Practice: an Illustrated Guide and the Reiki Healing Handbook.
