We all have a physical body and we often think that this is who we are... but did you know that we actually have FIVE bodies? In today’s episode Kevin is joined by special guest Dr. Skye Zimmermann to talk about and give better understanding to the 5 bodies of our being. There are many aspects that make up a human being as an operating system. We are spiritual beings having this human experience so how can we operate this system well on Earth? We start with understanding what science has shown and many mystics have known for eons, which is that everything is energy. Everything is consciousness. Listen along to this episode so you can learn: What the 5 bodies of our being are How to take care of these 5 bodies Where to start with evolving your 5 bodies When we learn to nourish and nurture all of these bodies, we become awakened. When we awaken, we step into the ascension process, which is how we let go of things that are false, limiting and not of love. It’s ultimately an experience and part of the experience is choosing love over fear. If you would love to dive deeper into embodying these bodies and consciously creating your reality, then join Skye and Kevin in their upcoming full day LIVE virtual workshop on Saturday, June 26th! http://bit.ly/5DQuantumManifestationWorkshop

We have heard the word compassion and we have a general sense of what that means but what about self compassion? Today we are joined by a very special guest, Dr. Kristin Neff, author of Fierce Self Compassion. She is a pioneer in the field of self compassion research. Listen as she shares her story on how she discovered her work and really her purpose. In this episode you will learn: What self compassion is The major difference between self compassion and self esteem How to develop self compassion What blocks people from building self compassion What you can do to practice self compassion The physiology behind self criticism What is fierce vs. tender self compassion Dr. Kristin shares so much amazing and powerful information in this episode! She really grounds for us that self compassion makes us incredibly strong and resilient. When we feel connected to others, when we feel loved by others, then we feel safe. We naturally do this for those we care about and practicing self compassion teaches us how to do this for ourselves. Dr. Kristin shared some amazing resources and she talked about her book that is coming out June 15th. You can find all this information on her website: https://self-compassion.org/. Please see Dr. Kristin’s bio below. We really enjoyed this episode and hope you did too! Happy listening :) Dr. Kristin Neff's bio: Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed an empirically supported training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored the Mindful Self Compassion Workbook and Teaching the Mindful Self- Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals. Her newest work focuses on how to balance self- acceptance with the courage to make needed change. In June 2021, she will publish Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive.

Quantum Manifestation is a topic that can seem complex, yet when we understand quantum manifestation and how to use it in our lives, we can create what we would love. We are beings of energy and everything is energy. Being able to manifest what we would love into our lives is an experience but we can break down steps to take in order to have that experience. After such a great discussion last week with Dr. Skye Zimmermann about the 5th dimension, we invited her back this week to help us break down quantum manifestation so you can have this experience we are talking about! Listen along to this episode to learn: What is quantum manifestation? How to use quantum manifestation? What can keep us from manifesting what we would love? How we can become addicted to certain feelings? Why support is essential on this journey? Dr. Skye reminds us that this process can feel overwhelming, but we have everything we need within us to do this. It truly breaks down into such simple steps. Ultimately, it’s about unlearning and to simply start somewhere by taking a baby step.

In both science and spirituality, the 5th dimension is a topic that is widely discussed, but vastly misunderstood. While there are complexities to this dimension, there's also a level of simplicity to it! That's why in this episode we invited Dr. Skye Zimmermann back to the podcast to share her insight into the 5th Dimension. Listen along as you'll learn: What is the 5th dimension? How does 5D reality compare to 3D reality? What are the detriments to remaining in 3D and what are the benefits of 5D?  What can we do to live more and more in the 5th Dimension? We answer all these questions and much more!  Kevin and Skye's virtual workshop on 5D and "Quantum Manifestation" is now over.

In the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles he states in the chapter on action that "failing to connect thought with personal action is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck."  He is making reference to the importance of being an active participant in your transformation. Listening to podcasts, reading books, and gathering knowledge is great but it's only part of the formula for success and change. The other part is applying what you listen to, read, and gather knowledge on by taking action on it.  In this episode we dive into the difference between passive and active participation. We then make the case that moving from passive to active participation is the key to real transformation.  We include some personal examples from our own personal development journey's and provide you with practical tools and a challenge at the end to help you become more active in your transformation process.  Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!

In this episode we have a discussion on the importance of bringing intention and spirit into every action that we do.  Our nervous system loves to identify and create patterns around how we think, feel and act. When we are creating habits, whether good or bad, we may have a tendency to "check out" when we are completing them once they become habitual. We lose the spark and the spirit that we once brought to that thing.  The first step to this is noticing and observing your energy around things that you do. We live in an energetic universe and so the energy we bring to the things we do has an impact.  How are you showing up for life?  Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!

The title of this episode is quote from Spiritual Teacher and Mental Scientist Genevieve Behrend.  Many of us believe that the process of visualization is something done with set aside time and focused intention. Although used this way with success, visualization is also a process we use on a day to day, moment to moment basis. We are constantly visualizing our futures to help us navigate present moment decisions. We worry, we fear, we have hope, we ask "what-if" etc etc.  In this episode we discuss practical tools to bring awareness to this fact. The episode mentioned in the beginning on Imagination is Episode 32 of the podcast. Be sure to check that one out for a deeper dive into our imaginative faculties and why it is so important.  The Soul Builder LIVE event is a great way to become more conscious of what you visualize and it's right around the corner!

When we expand our consciousness we gain more of our own power back. In order to access higher levels of consciousness you need to be in a state of low stress. We invite you to take a beginners mind to everything we share today. You may have heard of these simple practices before and may know them intellectually but we really want you to think about how you ground them into your own life. Listen along to learn about these simple practices so you can find your center and access those higher levels of consciousness by: Walking and admiring nature - when we actually pay attention to what’s going on around us we stay in the present moment Admiring art - art can reflect back to us an inner knowing that we can create something new in our lives Deep breathing - it slows down our physiology in a positive way to activate our parasympathetic nervous system Meditation - this can come in many forms and helps us find stillness Metacognition - when we notice what we're noticing we can begin to question and shift our thoughts It’s important for us to remember that doing this work is meaningful because it is not just about ourselves. It’s about the change we can make in the world. If you listened to the end of this episode, Kevin felt inspired and guided to carve out time in his schedule to give away complimentary strategy sessions with him once again! In this one hour zoom call with Kevin, you will gain greater clarity on what patterns you are stuck in, what your vision is and what action steps to take to bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to be!

In today’s episode, we are stepping into our next series, accessing higher levels of consciousness. Consciousness is a term used more frequently now but what does that word mean? We start by diving in with the dictionary definition and our own definition of the word consciousness. As we understand the meaning of consciousness, we can understand why it is so important to raise our consciousness to improve our lives.  As you listen along, you will learn how to: Understand your body - this is important to know why your body works on autopilot Become more aware - will help you recognize what patterns no longer serve you Get uncomfortable - this is essential to change and grow Choose - it’s necessary to continually choose to break a pattern Remember as you do the work, the pull to the familiar is going to feel strong. Give yourself space to acknowledge your current surroundings and don’t be afraid to ask yourself challenging questions like, what am I avoiding?
