Every emotion serves us, but once we know how it’s serving us and why, now we have a choice of how to use it as a tool.

There’s no question that our minds are a beautiful tool for enhancing our human experience. But what happens when you overuse your mind and neglect the wisdom in your body and feelings?  If you rely on one aspect of self, you’re not coming from a place of wholeness. If you’re not tapping into the emotions created by your body, you’re missing out on a whole chunk of knowledge ready to enrich your experience of life.

There’s just one problem…

Why are we so afraid of the way we feel? Fortunately, this episode’s guest – the magical Kristi Worful – has some much-needed answers.

It’s not uncommon for people to struggle with their emotions. From a young age, we’re taught that some feelings are good while others are bad. We’re taught that some emotions are OK to express while others need to be pushed right back down. It’s left us in a state of confusion and distrust about what our body is ready to teach us.

It can take courage to experience your emotions fully. But as you’ll hear in this episode, the more you allow, the bigger your capacity becomes for richness, fullness, and unapologetic self-expression.

If you choose, your emotions can be your gateway to expression and purpose.

As the creator of Sanga and an experienced consciousness practitioner, Kristi Worful is highly skilled at empowering people to explore, work with, and process their full emotional spectrum.

Sanga is like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. This empowering ecosystem blends the art and science of human transformation. Through her studio in Utah, Kristi guides clients through an immersive sound and visual art experience, which opens the subconscious mind and rewires the brain for creativity and healing. It’s a magical experience that helps people connect with their heart, tune into their desires, and connect more fully with their higher self.

Listen to this episode to hear about:

• The specific stages of human awakening.
• How do you build the courage to trust your intuition?
• Why is it so hard to be honest with yourself?
• What is authenticity?
• The true purpose of desire.

EP. 130 When you just leave your mind alone for extended periods of time, you start to see profound depths and profound stillness

We live in beautiful times where meditation is no longer a fringe ritual. You can even practice on your phone in the comfort of your home any time you choose!

This is good news because meditation as a practice offers profound benefits. You can expect everything from the ability to create stillness and clarity to an awareness of the vast potential we have as humans.

But what happens if you’re a ‘bad’ meditator?

And what layers are we really uncovering when we sit with stillness and become the observer of our thoughts?

In this powerful episode, mindfulness teacher Jon Krop explains how you can use meditation to live more skillfully in the modern world. His insights could be life-changing for you.

Jon Krop is a Harvard-educated lawyer and mindfulness expert who’s been meditating for over 13 years. Through his company Mindfulness For Lawyers, Jon has taught mindfulness at Harvard, Yale, the Pentagon, the world’s top law firms, Fortune 100 companies, and other organizations.

His obsession for mindfulness began at law school as he explored strategies to increase his grades and get a cognitive edge. After a chance meeting in Argentina led him to study with the Dalai Lama’s Latin American translator, Jon explored the spiritual benefits too. Although Jon has studied with traditional Buddhist teachers, his teaching style resonates with people who aren’t drawn to chanting, crystals, and new age overtones. If that sounds like you then you’ll especially love this interview!

Given our current times, an ability to create stillness, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity is more important than ever – and Jon is here to help you walk that essential path.

Here’s a taste of what Jon and I discuss:

• The story of Jon’s transition from law to mindfulness.
• The power of week-long meditation retreats.
• Jon’s response to coronavirus.
• The potency of impermanence and why we need to embody this reality.
• How to feel grounded enough to surrender.
• The potential of these times to spark transformation and transcendence.
• How do you empower someone who ‘can’t’ meditate.
• What is meditation supposed to look like?
• And more!

EP. 126 My definition for hypnosis is ‘meditation with a goal’.

Why do we find it so difficult to do the things we really want to do? Why do we struggle to build the business of our dreams, create the abundance we crave, or attract the perfect partner?

In this episode, you’ll discover that all your beliefs and habits originate in your subconscious. You can’t rewire these parts of you through logic alone, instead, you need to access the power of suggestion – and that’s only available to you when your brain is in a theta state.

It’s for this reason that hypnosis is such a powerful and transformative technique. Guide yourself into theta state and you can dial down fear, and do the deep, inner work that rewires what you believe about yourself. Then anything becomes possible.

And in this important episode, Grace Smith – a pioneer in the hypnotherapy field reveals how. Listen to this episode and not only will you discover the theoretical reasons why hypnotherapy works. You’ll also experience the benefits through a group hypnosis exercise. Don’t miss it

After quitting her chain smoking habit with a single session, Grace Smith instinctively understood the immense power of hypnotherapy. Inspired to learn more about how the mind works, Grace committed to getting certified – then Alex changed her life…

Alex was left paralyzed when his convoy was bombed during a UN peace mission in Syria. In Alex’s first hypnotherapy session with Grace, he was able to move his left hand. This was the turning point for Grace and ignited her mission to make hypnosis mainstream.

Today, Grace is an author, speaker, and pioneer in the hypnotherapy field. She works with Fortune 500 CEOs, A-list celebrities, Olympic athletes, and government officials. She’s also the Founder of the world’s #1 provider of hypnosis education, products and services and leads a world-class hypnotherapy certification program. Her work has been featured in everything from Marie Claire to Forbes and Entrepreneur.
