WITH LOVE, DANIELLE

My Loves! Welcome to the inaugural podcast edition of SACRED WEEKENDS! I’m sooo excited about this. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for years. Like…reco’s my friends and I text about. Conversations with my Higher Self. Think: chilling with your nervous system, cool music, Netflix that isn’t all about numbing out, and communing with the Infinite.  SACRED WEEKENDS will drop 2 Fridays a month––in BOTH podcast + email-form! Here’s what I’m jamming on in the pod edition of SACRED WEEKENDS: FRIDAY: Want to hear about the disastrous “Check in “ process that I created for my man and I? And how we turned it around into a conversation starter that is healing and productive? SATURDAY: My favourite online Yoga class, and a movie rec that might surprise you.   Sunday: Is about devotion. A rundown of Heart-Centered Altar Do’s and Don’ts.  With Love,  D Here’s where you can subscribe to get SACRED WEEKENDS delivered to your inbox—it’s full of product links and love.  Hosted on Acast.

My Loves, I was in NYC last week and the theme was EXPANSION! ANd more EXPANSION. My Mr. proposed! Yes yes yes to life partnership. He is deep and beautiful and wise and I’ve been ALL IN since about month two of being with him. Knew it. We’re not sure if we’re going to get hitched at city hall in our jeans, or throw a festival. But we know it’s all ours to DEFINE. I also joined a new literary agency family of philosophical go-getters (my favorite combination) and we are redefining what it means for me to write, record and create for the next decade and beyond.  These big moves and mergers are happening because I’m very clear how I define success––which has taken a LOT of REDEFINING. I’ve let go of a lot of identities labels. I’ve learned what I value most. And My spiritual commitment has helped me be discerning. And that brings me to another one of my favorite combinations: DISCERNMENT and the POWER OF WORDS. In this week’s WITH LOVE, DANIELLE (Eps #86) I’m dissecting some of-misconstrued “spiritual” terms: Spirituality: It’s undefinable, actually. But I think it’s simply, “the practice of thinking with your heart.” This is not quite as simple as I make it sound. So please listen in for the break down. Spiritual Bypassing: Where you put a spiritual spin on a “negative” experience to avoid uncomfortable feelings. “Non spiritual” feelings… you know that trick? All seekers become pro’s at this until we see how it’s holding us back. Spiritual Glamor: When you mix a spiritual PoV with the ego’s need to be “special”. For example: when one regards their spiritual experience as a qualification for special treatment, or how some folks always find a way to insert their esoteric resume into the conversation…  Conscience: You’ve got one, everyone’s got one…  Light Guilt + Shadow Guilt. There’s useful guilt and drag-you-down guilt. How to tell when your conscience is guiding you or your ego is trippin’... And, Detachment: Less clinging. More trusting. I’m getting into the how-to’s of this spiritual art form. Our definitions of spirituality and success define our LIVES. So more consciousness, truth-rooted definitions make for more conscious moves and mergers in our lives. Let’s define and refine… This episode’s LOVE NOTE (free prayers, printables, pointers) is the Dedication of Merit. Keep it on your phone. P.S. Connect with me on IG ! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Spiritual Bypassing and Glamour… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We all get out of alignment with our inner truth. It’s the human dance. The thing is: The inconsistency has a ripple effect. When we are in cognitive dissonance– we don’t hear our Higher Self clearly. We’re unable to focus and move forward with glide.  Ideally… What we believe is embodied in our thoughts, speech, action. We’re walking the talk. Here’s Episode #85 WITH LOVE, DANIELLE:  How we get distracted from the ways we really want to live our life.Hint: the heart centered kind of life. How we need to clear out “all or nothing” statements How to clear the distracting static. Less noise = greater concentration AND greater concentration on what truly matters increases the chances that you will manifest the good stuff.  The takeaway: When you turn on the intelligence of your heart, you uncondition your mind. When we heal our cognitive dissonance, we learn what it really means to become whole.  And,  I’ve left you with a few tools. This episode’s LOVE NOTE has an exercise with steps to align with your higher desire. No judginess, all Love. Light a candle, set the vibe, and get to it.  My Meditation Library: https://daniellelaporte.com/listen-meditations/.I do the same practice for many months in order to go deeper, ask fewer questions, and really get into alignment with heart and mind to dissolve any dissonance. Craving more? In my HEART CENTERED MEMBERSHIP I have a whole library of mantra and meditative Playlists, among other tools and treasures, blessed up by our team energy healer, V.S.

The seeds of our desires get watered by… our focus! But manifestation is a balancing act of intense focus and relaxed Faith. We’re going a few layers deep about:  How to increase the INTENSITY of your focus––which directly correlates to your creative power and ability to make things happen.  The best use of free will––we get to choose the thoughts we believe, and the ones we refuse.  When we choose our thoughts more intentionally, we get more of what  things we want. What’s the difference between FOCUS and CONCENTRATION? Well, focus with me for the 35 minutes of this podcast and we’ll get into it! Focus is a learned skill that we can strengthen. I’ll take you through a short meditative experience, then we end with a simple practice you can do daily to improve your concentration. And this episode includes  LOVE NOTE tucked into our ever-growing free love notes library! Timestamps: 2:58: How positive and negative memories impact manifestation 6:14: How to focus, the benefits of concentration skills 9:32:  What it means to “focus on Love” 13:03: Why the intensity of our focus matters 15:08: Why we repeat the same lessons over again 18:18: Concentration is not about “narrowing your focus” 21:31: When we're focused on the end result, we’re able to foresee the steps to get us there 25:09: A simple concentration-building exercise for you All for Love, Danielle P.S. October 12th’s episode will feature the playback of our recent OPEN HOUSE EVENT, a behind the scenes look at everything Heart Centered, from the Leadership at Team D! So many useful nuggets in here on creativity! And we unveil our new MASTERMIND. If this is interesting to you, you’ll definitely want to be at my BUSINESS UNFURLED EVENT on Thursday, October 25.

We don’t actually need a pep talk about our worthiness. Because…We’re all “worthy.” And the “worthiness” questioning is, actually, absurd. No one needs to quantify, or qualify themselves for Love. Not one Soul, ever. We don’t have to establish if we’re deserving of more ease, happiness, or Loving Kindness.  Here it is: when we spend energy questioning and bidding to see if we’re valued or worthy…it distracts us from healing.  All that asking and validation seeking, actually creates MORE confusion and perceived woundedness inside of us. Imagine you’re a billionaire - and you kept asking everyone around you. Or, a god of your understanding: “am I rich?”, “am I rich?”-  it just creates more: Confusion, agitation, perpetuates more striving… It’s Episode #83 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE! Let’s get in there: What happens when we become more blind to our inherent, DIVINE WORTH? (We spin.) Why do we believe we need to earn our worth? And,  When we find ourselves asking ourselves or others (typically unconsciously) if we’re worthy or valuable, instead, let’s wonder, “Why did I ask that?” It’s a popcorn trail to your pain and power. Here’s a life shifting question to apply, DAILY: What does my unhealed self need right now? (aka, your Inner Child) This episode includes a short visualization exercise that I guide and it’s simple enough to remember that you can take it with you. I also did a printable LOVE NOTE for you to save. We have been in this worthy/unworthy dialogue for eons, it is part of the human dance––so we have some stuff to unpack. LISTEN HERE or wherever you like to tune in to the pods.  WITH LOVE, Danielle In this episode I give a journaling/thought prompt. You can find it and other saveables in my LOVE NOTES section!

Hey hey! I’m back with another juicy episode! Last week, we explored what spiritual season we find ourselves in.  With all the items on your daily spiritual checklist, you might be wondering, how do I know if this is really working?  In fact, it’s been a guiding question of mine: How do you know if all you are doing to be well is helping you be well?  Hint: It’s not about the green juice, or mala beads, or escaping to beautiful Bali (although, those are cool too)...  YOU KNOW YOU'RE HEALING WHEN.... 1. You make space to respond, not react…  Drop the tit for tat, unplug from autopilot. Ask yourself, what is the highest response, for the good of all in this situation?  2. Fixing other people's issues is not your primary concern… of course Love and service all the way. But ya know... you can't rescue anyone, and when you try to... it's kind of disrespectful to them. Your ego doesn’t need to be their saviour. How about having faith in their strength? The vibe: YOU CAN DO THIS.  3. Loving on ALL parts of yourself is COMFORTING… including those fiery, forbidden parts of you – the stuff you’ve likely been pushing away.   4. Respecting the other person is as important as respecting yourself… you extend dignity to all – you and them. No matter what. Love is a win-win scenario. 5. Leaning into pain points is what you do best. Let your curiosity lead the way. You're noticing where it hurts and you're not turning away! Hint: this is your secret to great intimacy. 6. You GENTLY silence your inner critic. Silencing a critic fades away like soft snow. Gentle gentle. Show them who’s loving (not who’s Boss).   7. Loving your friends and family feels like your greatest gift. Including the ones who drive you bonkers. Hello, dissolved resentments. They don't even need to totally get it or say thank you. You leave all these situations thinking "I got to Love!" Sacred usefulness. 8. Listening to your soul is your top priority… and by that I mean, you do the work to tune in. Be receptive to the Wisdom of your soul. Stillness. Bask in it. You’ve got the love AND the healing. Grace be, D ....

My People!  It’s been a long season since I got you some fresh audio love. I’ve completely renovated my career-business-life in the last 3 months. New ways of working and creating, supported by a new team, new technology. I have a lot to share with you about the experience and expansion. Insight! Relief! Let’s ease back in. This is a mini episode (about 10 mins) with a big question: What spiritual season are you in?  Your “spiritual season” isn’t age dependent. It’s not about how long you’ve been meditating. Some of us will cycle through these phases more than once in a lifetime. Some of us are just getting started. “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 Spiritual Spring, Summer, Winter or Autumn? Where you at?  Knowing your coordinates on your evolutionary path is liberating and comforting. It helps you choose the next best step. I’m in the winter phase right now. A beautiful austerity. I’ve trimmed all of my practicing and researching right DOWN. Then next up for me will be a new cycle into Spring: Beginner’s mind. I’m not quite there, but I’m looking forward to it! Please consider this a GPS for your spirit. And heyyyyy! THIS IS A NEW PODCAST, baby! Subscribe n’ all that because I’m feeling unstoppable at the moment.

Zach Berman + Dean Morris, aka The Juice Truck Guys are a great duo—a wellness entrepreneur + a part time pastor. The three of us Canadians start off with the universal principle that everything is energy, then we get into the dynamics of church and conformity (and healing from that), and this all ends with me crying. Just the way I like it. Give the gift of a little more Love… How To Be Loving is available now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
