Science and Spirituality

We live in a world where we are constantly connected. Constantly plugged into our phones, updating our social media platforms, scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, watching YouTube videos etc. The more we are plugged in, the less time we have for our own original thought.  These platforms are fighting for one of our most precious assets: our time and our attention. When we spend time on our phones or devices, we are being stimulated to think and feel certain things.  It's no wonder so many people today don't know who they are or feel like they don't have a strong relationship with themselves. It's because we don't spend enough time alone with our thoughts.  In this episode, Chris talks about the importance of disconnecting from our outside world so that we can connect with our inside world.

She shares how as a psychotherapist, she's been discovering alternative ways of transformation and healing through Cacao and Cacao ceremonies.  What is Cacao? It is raw, pure chocolate grown in pods near the equator on trees. In this episode we talk with Allison about Cacao, the ceremonies she uses with Cacao and all the benefits from it. Listen along to learn: The science behind Cacao How Cacao is used with meditation Where to find raw Cacao The difference between raw chocolate and processed chocolate How to prepare it What a ceremony is The benefits of a ceremony How it’s different for us all  How to actually get the most out of your experience Why it’s so powerful to open up your heart Chris and I both did a Cacao ceremony with Allison and we share our experiences of what the Cacao ritual was like and what it’s done for us having experienced it.

Have you ever had an idea or a dream to do something but either asked yourself: 1. Is this dream too big? What if I fail? Will people support me? or 2. Is this dream too small? Should I be dreaming bigger? Will others look down on me for this simple dream? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you might be a victim of comparing yourself to others. In other words, you are afraid of what others may think of you. In this episode we discuss: Why it's 100% normal to have these thoughts. What to do about these thoughts and how to move forward. Why having a simple dream to live a simple life is just as meaningful as having a huge dream to impact the world. The importance of resonance when it comes to choosing and following a dream. Why societal thinking and programming keeps us from following our dreams. Remember, information doesn’t cause transformation, inspiration with action does! There is a power when you go deep within yourself, but we also understand that it is not easy. We often need help along the way to reprogram these beliefs.

In our daily lives we use affirmations everyday but most people are unaware they are doing so. Often we use them in a negative context. When we become aware of our patterns & limiting beliefs, we can then use affirmations & auto-suggestion to transform our lives and ultimately help create new versions of ourselves. One of our followers on Instagram asked us, "Are affirmations & auto-suggestion the same thing? If different, how are they to be used the best way?" In this episode, we will define affirmations & auto-suggestion and give you examples and resources to help you begin to use affirmations in your daily routine as well as bring more positive and healthy habits to your life.
