Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well

Ep 039: Today we’re talking about how our words don’t just influence our lives, they create our realities. We've all heard this in some forms, whether the power of affirmations, or that if we talk badly about our selves or others, we'll feel badly about them.There have even been studies showing that people with smaller vocabularies are less able to process emotions or relate to other people... because they don't have the words to conceptualize it. But there's an upside: With awareness, you can start to communicate consciously to create your best reality.Our guest today is Mary Shores, the author of Conscious Communications: A Step-by-Step Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Words to Change Your Mind, Your Choices, and Your Life. She has spent over a decade teaching businesses and individuals how to identify their goals, create new ways of thinking, and take action to create meaningful results. Today we will learn: The neuroscience of how words create our realities The 5 ways we express ourselves A few reality-changing journaling exercises  Show Notes: mindlove.com/039 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.

A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. He's also the author of my 5 favorite books of all time: What really makes this guest special is he didn’t just write these books, he channeled them. He spoke the text aloud, which was then transcribed… with NO EDITING. And for those of you calling bullshit, he did the last two in front of a live audience.Today we will learn: How Paul Selig activated a spiritual awakening that left him clairvoyant Which behaviors may block spiritual channeling What Paul sees as the most important teachings he’s channeled so far   Show Notes: mindlove.com/038 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.

Ep. 033: Today we’re talking about anxiety. It’s been one of my most requested topics, which makes sense because it’s apparently become the number one mental health issue in North America. It’s estimated that 1/3 of the American adult population experiences anxiety-related issues. Anxiety can affect everything because everything is connected. Our minds and bodies have limited stamina so when energy and resources are being funneled into dealing with some chronic issue, it takes away energy and resources for other things like brain function, immune response, general healing, digestion, all… the… things. In learning to overcome anxiety, we learn to rewire our brains which can be used for all the other things we want our brains to do… like form positive habits, think happy thoughts, react better, and even learn faster.Our guest today is Ashley James, a master practitioner and trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy, Hypnosis, and coaching as well as the host of the Learn True Health Podcast.Today we will learn: How and why anxiety affects your whole life How to effectively form new habits 3 techniques to eliminate anxiety, whether it’s around a specific event, the outlook of your day or the span of your life Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/033 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.

Ep. 030: Today’s episode we’re talking about becoming who you really are and we’re going to do that with a little insight into the transgender community. Some people may not think transgender issues necessarily affect them but the energy of a few affects the collective energy of the whole. If some of our people are oppressed or stigmatized, we feel that on an energetic level.We can all relate on some level to having assumptions about ourselves that don’t really feel like us, but what if this assumption was your entire outward expression of yourself? What if being who you really are was stigmatized by the general population, and even worse, the leader of your country?Our guest today is Ryan Sallans, a transgender speaker and author of the book Second Son. He became internationally known after the release of the documentary Gender Rebel, which followed him in the beginning steps of his transition from female to male in 2005.
