Let It In with Guy Lawrence

#231 Adverse experiences and trauma in childhood live with us, resulting in whole body dysfunction, activating harmful stress responses that keep us stuck engaging in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity, and trauma bonds. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviors can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unwell. The same applies to the painful experiences we go through in life. Vironika Tugaleva said, "Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal". In this episode, I'll have a very candid conversation about that with the incredible Petra Brzović, an intuitive therapist with a strong background in many disciplines in which she is certified. Petra conducts workshops and seminars all over the world, as a result of her long-standing experience in working as a therapist and a yoga teacher. They are a fusion of various healing techniques making them unique, intuitive and liberating. As master trainer and instructor, Petra is training and teaching therapists around the world, helping them learn how to help others heal. She also actively participates at Body & Mind conferences, seminars and trainings, follows the latest research in the field of medicine of the mind and body, and passionately researches the consciousness, correlation between brain, body and soul with an international team of scientists and doctors. Petra and I will apply the observations we've made at our Live in Flow retreats to discuss the problem most people have in doing the work necessary to achieve healing. Healing can only come from looking at our challenges and pain in a new way. When we allow ourselves to fully experience painful or uncomfortable feelings, we are doing work. Sitting with our feelings instead of disengaging or distracting ourselves is work. When we understand the true nature of our work, we can summon compassion for ourselves as we move through our uncomfortable feelings on the path to healing, peace, and wholeness. Join us as we dive deeper into that and I promise you that it will change your life forever. Enjoy!

#230 It's easy to be confused about our life's purpose by all the negative and disheartening news from around the world. It's also easy to mistake the idea that we've reached our peak evolution through humanity's rapid technological advancements. For thousands of years, humanity has fought over who and what God is. But what if it's none of that, and our beliefs about God are creating the chaos and suffering we're seeing in the world today. In this fascinating episode, bestselling author, Neale Donald Walsch will help us remember the fundamentals. It's important to look at your own skills, talents, and experiences and trust that the divine has plans to put them to use in a way that will serve a higher good, as it did with Neale. Interestingly, right before his book, Conversations with God, sold millions of copies, Neale's life was certainly not a bestseller, as it was falling apart. He had been laid off, had major marriage issues, and suffered health problems that all led to him living on the sidewalk for an entire year (you read that right). It wasn't until a miracle part-time job that he started to regain some semblance of a life with shelter, food, and a little bit of money. It was during this time that he started venting his anger to God in written form. In pure anger and frustration, he asked questions like "Why me?" and "What do you want from me? What does it take to make life work?" Then something incredible happened, Neale heard a voice that jokingly said, "Do you really want the answers?" From then on, he took dictation and wrote down what he was hearing, and started a paper dialogue. The rest is publishing history. Neale will graciously teach us how we can flourish as we live the human experience through our divine connection with God. He will demonstrate how we can find our way back to our soul connection, and tune into the infinite intelligence that will ground us and move us toward love and fearless living. It's a gift to share this interview, and I hope it brings you increased peace, spiritual connection, compassion, and awareness of who you really are. About Neale Donald Walsch: Neale Donald Walsch is a modern day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before experiencing his now famous conversation with God. The Conversations with God series of books that emerged from those encounters has been translated into 37 languages, touching millions and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives. Neale has written 39 books on spirituality and its practical application in everyday life. Titles in the With God series include: Conversations with God, Books 1-3; Friendship with God; Communion with God; The New Revelations; Tomorrow's God; What God Wants; and Home with God. Seven of the books in that series reached the New York Times Bestseller List, CWG-Book 1 occupying that list for over two-and-a-half years. His most recent books are When Everything Changes Change Everything (2010), The Storm Before the Calm (2011), The Only Thing That Matters (2012), What God Said (2013), GOD'S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD: You've God Me All Wrong (2014), and Conversations with God: Awaken the Species (Book 4) (2017). His newest book is The God Solution, was published in December, 2020 by Phoenix Books. Conversations with God has redefined God and shifted spiritual paradigms around the globe. In order to deal with the enormous response to his writings, Neale has created several outreach projects, including the CWG Foundation, CWG for Parents, Humanity's Team, the CWG Helping Outreach, and The Global Conversation --- all accessible at the "hub" website www.CWGPortal.com, and all dedicated to help the world move from violence to peace, from confusion to clarity, and from anger to love. Neale's work has taken him from the steps of Macchu Picchu in Peru to the steps of the Shinto shrines of Japan, from Red Square in Moscow to St. Peters Square in Vatican City to Tiananmen Square in China. And everywhere he has gone, from South Africa to Norway, Croatia to The Netherlands, the streets of Zurich to the streets of Seoul, Neale has experienced a hunger among the people to find a new way to live, at last, in peace and harmony, and he has sought to bring people a new understanding of life and of God which would allow them to experience that. Key Points Discussed: Searching For Spiritual Meaning (00:00) The desire that drives him to tirelessly help people globally. (00:04) Defining God: How Neale describes God from his own understanding. (03:47) Why there's so much evil in the world despite 85% of humanity believing in a higher power. (06:55) Stepping into your purpose by abandoning survival as a fundamental instinct. (12:03) Having cautious optimism that humanity will wake up and strive to be better. (17:27) The Tripple Whammy - How loss and pain initiated his journey to spiritual awakening. (21:32) How his conversations with God became a best-selling book with 15 million copies sold in 37 languages. (30:13) A common frustration that affects all of us.

#229 In this episode, I had the immense privilege of chatting with Ishita Sharma. It's difficult to put into words what she does for people. She is a modern mystic, holding space for life in all of its abundant complexity, from the highest joys and miracles to the deepest suffering and sorrows. She was born in Haridwar, India, and grew up in the Garhwal Himalayas. Eventually, she came to the US to study as a physicist, but turned to architecture and design practice, evolving into a multidisciplinary artist working with paint and sculpture. Through it all, she felt that she was looking for an even deeper framework to explain what felt obvious to her: that we are all connected. Today, Ishita works with contemporary visionaries and spiritual seekers to create futures that are free of past limitations. After coming into a profound shift in her consciousness, Ishita recognized that the answer she was seeking wasn't out there, waiting to be discovered in some corner of the world. It lies inside each and every one of us. We are all already whole. Tune in as we explore the mechanics of anchoring into presence and noticing our habits of attention to become more skilled at navigating our relationship with ourselves, others, and nature. About Ishita Sharma: Ishita Sharma serves as a mentor, mirror and activator to those who wish to better our world, starting within. She helps them embody their truest purpose while rising beyond ego-centric paradigms. Ishita's work is the expression of her deepest realizations, and an invitation into your own.

Drawing on a unique ability to attune to her clients' nervous systems, Ishita guides confusion into clarity and felt-sense safety. Her incisive approach is grounded in spacious loving connection. It integrates non-dual awareness with embodiment, subtle energetics and relational dynamics to free the core of personal and systemic hindrances. Contending that the future of humanity hinges upon healing division within and between us, she supports individuals and groups alike to wake up, step up and show up together in service of a world that truly nourishes us all. Born in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, now living in North Carolina with her American husband, Ishita draws on the confluence of cultures, paradigms and dimensions- marrying western intellect and eastern spirituality through the wisdom of the human heart and body. Giving back lies at the heart of Come to Center. Ishita serves on the Board of Directors of the Bridgeway Group, focused on peace-building in conflict zones worldwide, and as a member of Nurse Groups, providing resilience support for nurses on the front lines. 1-3% of Come to Center's yearly profits support humanitarian efforts including Free the Slaves, dedicated to freeing the world's 27 million captives out of bonded slavery, and directly to homeless and forgotten people in the places she calls home.

#228 What are you searching for in your life? If it's lasting growth and transformation, a deeper connection to yourself, loved ones or your purpose and direction in life, where or how do you find that? We are living in times where many people feel like there is something missing from their lives, but they are not sure what that is. They feel a sense of being divided, exhausted, confused and unsure where to turn. When we search online, we are bombarded with messages that tell us that happiness and contentment are just a few clicks away. Inevitably after clicking and searching we can end up more confused, more isolated and separate, disconnected from ourselves and our loved ones. Let's get real. A new year, a new job, a new adventure or a new church is not going to heal the separation, discontentment and loneliness. Neither, will any one spiritual retreat give you a magical transformation. I just said that. So, tune in as Matt Omo and I discuss why no one retreat, or vacation, or jungle medicine journey is going to fix the emptiness you may be feeling today. There is no magic wand. It takes hard work. It begins with getting real with yourself, being able to own all of the disconnection that you feel and the emptiness and loss that accumulated over your lifetime. Until you can own it, you can't heal it. If you don't heal it, you can't authentically connect with your friends, family, loved ones, and your purpose. That sounds like work and feeling uncomfortable. Who wants to do that? I hope you're raising your hand. Enjoy our conversation and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. About Matt Omo: Matt Omo is a leader of the sound healing movement in Australia with over 15 years of experience working with a variety of sound healing techniques bridging cultures and traditions from around the world. The work and awareness around sound healing and its benefits are growing every day. Matt is developing new programs and products to meet this need and continue to support people in discovering the benefits of the healing power of sound. Key Points Discussed: Finding A Deeper Meaning To Life (00:00) Struggling with the lack of purpose and meaning. (01:01) Dropping the anchors in your life to sail towards your true self. (04:26) Why you need to trust your intuition more. (08:57) Dealing with choices, decisions, and acceptance of the consequences. (13:30) How to embrace new potential within ourselves. (18:54) Finding better ways of dealing with our challenges. (23:25) About me: My Instagram:www.instagram.com/guyhlawrence/?hl=en Guy's websites:www.guylawrence.com.au www.liveinflow.co

#227 People often think about wellness in terms of physical health - Nutrition, exercise, weight management, etc., but it is so much more. Wellness is a holistic integration of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, fueling the body, engaging the mind, and nurturing the spirit. Although it always includes striving for health, it's more about living life fully. It's a lifestyle and a personalized approach to living life in a way that allows you to become the best kind of person that your potentials, circumstances, and fate allow. In this episode, I'll have a candid chat with yoga teacher and owner/founder of One Big Heart, Karl Palin, about how yoga enables people of all ages, both male and female, to achieve overall wellness. Karl was diagnosed with depression in his teens and put on medications that made his health worse. That compounded his negative beliefs and for many years he thought he needed to be physicall fit to be acceptable. It continued into his adulthood and from the age of 19 he was obsessed with fitness. Eventually, it broke him phsycially, mentally, and spiritually, and led him into alcoholism and drug abuse. Yoga found him in 2012 as he took the opportunity to join lunch time classes through a workplace wellbeing program. Physically, he enjoyed the class immensely and the practice triggered something deeper in him on a mental and emotional level that he could not deny. He instantly had a calling to follow this sacred path of healing and knowledge, and he's going to impart all his valuable yoga wisdom on us, so don't forget to tune in. It will definitely change your life. See you on the inside. About Karl Palin: Karl Palin is the Owner and Director of One Big Heart who was led to yoga to overcome physical injuries from more traditional fitness areas, as well as 20 odd years of depression and anxiety. After seeing a need for a yoga studio in the Camden area, Karl sought to bring the journey of mindfulness and yogic philosophy to the local community. Karl has over 8 years of teaching experience, over 600 hours of certification, over 6000 teaching hours in front of students and holds a Level 2 registered teacher with Yoga Australia. He is passionate about his motto "Sparking enquiry into the journey of mindfulness, in order to change the world, one human at a time." One Big Heart celebrated it's 5th birthday in 2022. Key Points Discussed: How Yoga Helped Me Overcome Injuries, Depression & Anxiety (00:00) Why he named his yoga studio One Big Heart. (00:09) Is yoga just a female thing? (03:20) How to cultivate more self awareness within yourself. (12:04) Understanding the continual process of change that we are intertwined in. (16:50) The defining moment that changed his life forever. (17:52) Realizing that health is about more than physical fitness. (25:27) A world where people are oblivious of their need for overall wellness. (34:26) The power of owning where you're at instead of running away from it. (38:21) Being like the jelly fish to step into a greater expansion of yourself. (42:09) Adopting life changing habits. (44:32) How you can unravel negative beliefs that control who you are.

#226 Wanting to have control over your life is a perfectly normal human desire, but it's not always helpful or healthy. Sure, it's okay to set up your life in a way that allows you to conquer the chaos: create a schedule, set deadlines, hold yourself accountable, and learn to control your thoughts so that they don't control you. When we're attached to outcomes in our lives, it quickly leads to suffering and pain. We are co-creators of our lives, but we can't control what happens. Truth is, it's really not up to us to figure out. Once we can detach from trying to control and plan life, we're no longer blocked, but instead, open to receive life's magical moments. Take a moment to remember a time when you felt blissful, in the flow or you were manifesting things you wanted. You were most likely in a space of detachment and not focused on trying to control any one thing, therefore open to receive new possibilities. This state of being is trust and surrender in the purest form. And in this episode, I'll welcome back best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and the co-host of the popular Inspire Nation show, Michael Sandler, to discuss that and dive into so many more beautiful things like really leaning into desire, trust and surrender, and how things absolutely always work out - even if we have no idea in the moment how that's going to happen. Join us and by the end you'll definitely have a lot to work with if you're looking to shift towards a better version of yourself. About Michael Sandler: Michael Sandler is the co-host of the popular Inspire Nation Show, a transformational, self-help, spiritually focused podcast and YouTube channel, along with his wife, fellow coach, and teacher, Jessica Lee. He is a best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, visionary, coach, and the co-creator of Inspire Nation University and the Automatic Writing Experience online course. Having been a world-class athlete and coach, competing at the international level in cycling, along with being a competitive speed skater, Ironman triathlete, and runner, Michael has applied those same training skills to being a life coach to teachers, leaders, and visionaries. He is a life-long meditation practitioner and meditation teacher. Two near-death accidents led to the conception of the Inspire Nation show, the creation of the Automatic Writing Experience, and the writing of this book. These devastating accidents led Michael to a much deeper understanding about the world, of Spirit, and of our connection to something greater than ourselves. He calls this "getting the big picture" and from that this book emerged. Once driven purely by performance and results as an endurance athlete, Michael survived the near-fatal accidents that cracked his heart open and helped him discover a kinder, gentler way of moving through life, one that arguably makes an even greater impact on others and the planet. That's what he calls being an open-hearted warrior, and to his mission to elevate consciousness, shift humanity, and help people truly discover their greatest self. Despite twin titanium femurs and hips, as a result of the accidents, he continues to run, skate, bike, and play in the mountains or explore the world with Jessica, their daughter Hana, three kitty cats, along with Roo Roo the Wonder Rooster, always in prayer, always connected to Spirit.

#225 We all believe that we are unique beings with our own unique personalities, characteristics, talents, gifts, thoughts, and feelings. We believe we have control over our lives and our futures.

#224 Throughout the years running our Live in Flow retreats and events, we've noticed that men often tend to shy away from anything remotely spiritual. Their reluctance is caused by a number of reasons: some see it as unmanly and associate it with weakness and passivity while others simply don't think it will really work. As a result, a lot of men end up avoiding the very practices that could greatly enrich their professional and personal lives. Men need some form of meditation and self-reflection in their lives just as much as women. Some studies have shown that they are affected by depression at the same rates as women, but they are far less likely to admit they have a problem, let alone seek help out of fear that the simple act of asking for help is an admission of weakness. Instead, they feel they should simply "man up" and soldier on. While it takes many forms, spirituality is ultimately about introspection and self-knowledge, and a greater awareness of who we are, what we love, and why we do the things we do. The answers to these questions are the key to succeeding in a world where men are increasingly afflicted by depression, anxiety, and a loss of purpose or meaning. It is in that spirit that Matt Omo and I did this episode to dive into some of the most common reasons men are skeptical of spirituality, and why they don't need to be worried at all. About Matt Omo: Matt Omo is a leader of the sound healing movement in Australia with over 15 years of experience working with a variety of sound healing techniques bridging cultures and traditions from around the world. The work and awareness around sound healing and its benefits are growing every day. Matt is developing new programs and products to meet this need and continue to support people in discovering the benefits of the healing power of sound. Key Points Discussed: Man Up?? Spirituality & Masculinity| Guy & Matt Omo (00:00) Gender and spirituality: How more men can connect to their hearts (00:40) Understanding that the spiritual journey is all about acquiring greater knowledge about yourself ()04:07) Bridging the gap for men to be able to embrace their feminine energy (12:18) Moving away from being our own biggest critics based on how society expects us to be (16:54) Why you must create healthy spacious moments and take time out to decompress (20:52) The power of surrender, being open, and following people who lead by example (22:40) Growing by allowing yourself to be uncomfortable (26:50) About me: My Instagram: www.instagram.com/guyhlawrence/?hl=en My website: www.guylawrence.com.auwww.liveinflow.co

#223 Most entrepreneurs are Type A's. This means they are constantly pushing themselves to their next big goal, next milestone. While one may very well achieve business success, they're almost always likely to be left thinking "What's next". This constant push towards new goals will eventually leave most exhausted and unfulfilled. So what is the other way? In this episode, I welcome Wayne Kelly, a professional electrician and co-owner of a hugely successful building company who can attest to exactly that. Wayne has been an entrepreneur most of his life and was busy scaling his electrical business when he realized he was overwhelmingly unfulfilled and stressed. While on a surf trip to Fiji with his friends to unwind and get away from the immense stress of his dailys life, he had a minor accident which ended up being the nudge he needed to start on his journey to holistic wellness. Listening to Wayne's story of surrender will definitely be the first step you need to take on the path that will offer you the ability to create greater alignment between your life, your work and your self-actualization.Tune in for more! About Wayne: Wayne Kelly is a professional electrician and entrepreneur with two businesses and a combined team of 28 employees. He's always been entrepreneurial and started off with an electrical business that he co-owned with someone else until they had to part ways later on due to irreconcilable differences. Wayne decided to start his own electrical business and successfully grew it to a point where a huge opportunity to scale it presented itself. But after so many years of investing his whole self into growing the business, he started to question whether the huge opportunity was really something he wanted to pursue. In partnership with a friend, he still went through with it and the business eventually evolved into a building company.

#222 Sound healing is an amazing way to utilize sound and vibration to relieve stress, anxiety, and so much more. Given that everything has a vibrational frequency, including ourselves, it makes sense that sound frequencies impact how we feel. That's why particular songs and types of music often bring about specific types of emotions from us. Sound healing, which is an ancient healing technique that uses tonal frequencies to bring the body into a state of vibrational balance and harmony, plays upon this as well. In this episode, my guest, William Kane-Potaka, will give you a crash course in sound healing. Will is a sound therapist, musician, recording artist and composer. His work addresses harmony between the body/mind/spirit and is clinically proven to foster deep personal wellness and expansion of consciousness. We will have an epic conversation about the miracle of our human bodies, the effects of stress on our lives, the connection between brainwave entrainment and your autonomic nervous system, and how we can cure the root of our diseases and problems by utilizing sound. If you're looking for an alternative healing method, then this episode is the one to guide you. Stay tuned for more!
