How Our Struggles Influence Our Biology • 154
We will learn:
How our personal struggles actually influence our biology
How to examine the 4 points of your personal compass
Why letting in is just as important as letting go
It seems the most interesting, complex and inspiring people I know have all been through something really hard. They’ve struggled somehow.Struggles help us develop resilience. Often in order to survive, we start searching for things – help, resources, conversations, maybe something inside ourselves like our own strengths. But not everyone who struggles finds their light. Some stay in the darkness. Some feel beaten down by their experience and just can’t seem to find the strength to get up and out of it. They feel like the world is against them, or they’re a victim of their own circumstance. So what’s the difference? Why do some people’s struggles seem to make them, while others break them?So how do we start to find that meaning? How to we start to recognize the wisdom in our own achievements? Instead of just the details of our own stories?Our guest is Kirsten Beverley Waters. She is a Yoga Medicine teacher, fitness coach, author, and motivational speaker. She credits the low moments in her life with enabling her to find her voice and harness her powers. And today she dives deep into an exploration of personal experience and how our individual stories and struggles help shape our biology, giving breath to our individual superpowers.Show Notes: mindlove.com/154

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.

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.
