Creating Good Luck with the Serendipity Mindset • 153
We will learn:
How to open your mind to become more attuned to serendipity
How to turn unexpected encounters into opportunity
How to better foster your connections to turn them into something meaningful
Have you ever noticed that some people just seem to have really good luck? Do they have like cosmic signals attached to each of them that tells the universe how to respond? Or are they approaching the world differently?That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Christian Busch. He’s an internationally known expert in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship. He is the Director of the Global Economy Program at New York University’s Center for Global Affairs, and also teaches at the London School of Economics. And He’s a cofounder of Leaders on Purpose and the Sandbox Network.His most recent book is called The Serendipity Mindset. And his main message is that serendipity isn’t about luck in the sense of simple randomness. It’s about seeing links that others don’t, combining these observations in unexpected and strategic ways, and learning how to detect the moments when apparently random or unconnected ideas merge to form new opportunities.This is action and data driven knowledge from a practical expert, with a clear blueprint for how we can cultivate serendipity to increase innovation, influence, and opportunity in every aspect of our lives.'Show Notes: mindlove.com/153

The Purpose of Suffering • X18
We will learn:
How suffering prepares us for enjoyment and happiness
The first step to finding our way out of our mental suffering
How to navigate the emotions and thoughts that are surfacing right now both inside ourselves and within our personal relationships
Whether you’ve gone through something big and traumatic, or just feel overwhelmed by the day to day hardships, we all suffer. Even those that seem to have everything handed to them on a silver platter will find a way to create their own suffering.
What if the number one thing you can do to ease your suffering is to figure out how to love yourself… actually realizing who you are at your core and understanding how to meet your own needs on a moment to moment basis.
Our relationships with ourselves are the most important relationships we have and ironically the ones that tend to be the most neglected.
Until we start connecting with ourselves and finding our own center, we’re going to continue to be thrown by everything happening around us.
So that’s what we’re talking about today.
Our guest is Blake D. Bauer, the author of the international bestselling book You Were Not Born To Suffer. He is a world-renowned teacher and speaker with an extensive background in psychology, alternative medicine, nutrition, traditional healing, and mindfulness meditation.
His expertise comes from his personal experience overcoming deep suffering and addiction as well as what he’s learned helping over 100,000 people worldwide.

The Ego and God are One • X17
We will learn:
How can you open your mind and heart to what is holding you back
How to open yourself up to the psychic dimension
How to integrate the ego for a more unified self
What’s your relationship to your ego? We get a lot of mixed messages about ego. I think the first things I understood about it was just what it means to have a big ego, or to be egotistical.What if instead of shunning the ego, we integrate it. We acknowledge its intention, even feel grateful for it, but just understand there are more pieces to the puzzle that need to be considered before just act on the ego’s impulse.Thinking about the ego this way can be a pretty big step in self love. And moving away from separation and towards unity. Because how can we really feel unity with our full selves if we’re resisting such a big part of our own humanity?So that’s part of what we’re diving into today. Our guest is Vincent Genna. Vincent is known as the “tell-it-like-it-is” and a truly authentic Spiritual Teacher and Psychic Therapist.Vincent also teaches all levels of psychic and mediumship skills, including communicating with animals. He’s got a big personality and is such an amazing story teller so this will be a fun episode.Sign up for Mind Love Premium here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Subtle Energy Healing for Trauma, Stress or Chronic Illness • 150
We will learn:
The energies beneath our challenges
Healthy vs unhealthy fear and the main causes of both
How to connect with the center of your heart chakra to gain power and insight
The biggest oversight we make in our spiritual journeys is to bypass the man experience.We think we can just overshadow any pain or negative emotion with positivity. Or shun our ego out of existence. Or we deny that we have any fear at all, because somehow fear is the opposite of love.Right now, we are experiencing a collective trauma. Healing really involves both our human and spiritual selves, to fully integrate what we’re going through into who we are becoming.If we bypass the human side of it, like denying our sadness or our pain, and trying to just overpower with the positive, or if we deny the spiritual side of it, like not paying attention to where energy may be blocked in the body, we don’t clear our the unresolved trauma. We miss half the lesson either way.So today we’re talking about our subtle energy bodies and how they affect our physical realities.Our guest is is Cyndi Dale. She’s an internationally renowned author, speaker, healer, and business consultant and the author of 27 books about energy medicine, intuition, and spirituality.Show Notes: mindlove.com/150

Meditate Like a Buddhist • X16
Sign up for Mind Love Premium for the full episode here.We will learn:
The 3 causes of mental suffering: desire, aversion and delusion
What we should be paying attention to during meditation
How to apply non-attachment to everything we do
I believe every religion, philosophy, school of thought, way of life… has something to teach. I like to go into ideas with the mindset of “what can I take with me from this?”So today, we’re going to take some lessons from Buddhism. Without knowing much about Buddhism, it quickly started to positively affect my life, sometimes with something as simple as a quote. There are so many good ones: “Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.”“Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.”“If you propose to speak always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.”There are just so many nuggets of wisdom that you can directly apply to basically every area of your life. If you’re a student of meditation, or you’re curious about it, it actually originates with the Hindu culture and Buddha was a Hindu.So today we’re diving into the Buddhist teachings we can all benefit from, specifically with inner self talk, meditation and just processing our lives.Our guest is Cynthia Kane. She’s the bestselling author of How to Communicate like a Buddhist, Talk to Yourself like a Buddhist, and How to Meditate like a Buddhist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She’s a 7-figure entrepreneur, a speaker, best-selling author, and wellness coaching expert. Her podcast is Hungry for Happiness and she started her focus on emotional eating and body love and then moved into breathwork, all things that have to do with reconnecting with our bodies.Show Notes: mindlove.com/149

Declutter Your Mind through Organization and Tidying Up • X15
Have you ever noticed that your mind usually reflects your environment? When my house is a mess, or just full of clutter, it’s like my mind takes on that energy… scattered, chaotic, all over the place.This isn’t just an observation. It’s science.Studies show that clutter can affect our anxiety levels, sleep, and ability to focus. It can also make us less productive and here’s the real kicker for me… it can trigger coping and avoidance strategies. So all that’s bad enough, but our physical environments can also influence our cognition (so our ability to understand things), it can affect our emotions and behaviors, even including our relationships with others.That’s a lot at stake for a messy home.Today we’re talking to AnnMarie Brogan and Marie Limpert. These two friends quit their corporate jobs to become professional organizers and now they’re the author of the book Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living.We will learn:
How clutter affects the mind
Useful tips for how to approach organizing without overwhelming yourself
How to create a vision for your space
