061 – Mastering The Shadow Later In Life! CONNIE ZWEIG

What is Carl Jung shadow work?

I had an interesting time discussing the fascinating concept of the “shadow” with life-long student of Carl Jung’s work Connie Zweig. She is a retired therapist and award-winning author of several books. Today we discuss: The Inner Work of Age- Shifting from Role to Soul.

From the very beginning, Connie attempts to share her profound knowledge and insights. We delved into the origins of the shadow, a personal unconscious hidden from our awareness, as first explored by Carl Jung. Connie’s expertise in this subject became evident as she discussed how the shadow is formed during childhood through societal messages about what is deemed acceptable and what is not.

But here’s where it gets truly intriguing: the shadow doesn’t just include negative associations. It also encompasses repressed talents, passions, and even positive aspects of ourselves. Connie shared her wealth of experience in helping people understand and address their shadow for over 30 years, guiding us through various techniques, including her own method called shadow work.

One particular aspect that struck a chord with me was the role of projection and a thought-provoking discussion occurred on detecting and understanding our shadow. Lorraine shed light on how our unacknowledged inner issues often manifest in our interactions with others, leading to blame, targeting, and emotional reactions. She emphasized the importance of identifying these projections and taking responsibility for our own emotional triggers.

As our conversation unfolded, Connie also opened my eyes to the ageist shadow issues prevalent in society. She highlighted how negative images and internalized ageism can affect our perception of growing old, ultimately leading to discomfort and a lack of guidance during the transition into retirement and elderhood.

But fear not, my dear listeners! Connie’s book offers a much-needed rite of passage, exploring themes like aging, illness, spirituality, and death. It provides psycho-spiritual practices and guidance from different traditions to help us embark on a soulful journey of self-discovery and tap into our spiritual nature. This profound exploration can lead to a shift in our identity, from roles to soul, creating purpose and meaning in our later years.

Together, Connie and Lorraine discuss the importance of emotional repair, forgiveness, and understanding as we undertake the life review process. We also dive into the intricate relationship between spirituality and aging, exploring concepts like spiritual awakening and the unconscious.

Ultimately, this episode is a profound reminder that wisdom should be celebrated, especially in our elders, who often go unnoticed and unheard in society. It’s time for us to acknowledge our own shadows, confront our biases, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

So why wait? Join me on this transformative adventure and listen to the latest episode of our podcast now. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Hey there, podcast lovers! I hope you’re ready for an episode that will leave you feeling inspired and enlightened. In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Sarah Westbrook, author of the remarkable book Trauma Bonded. A True Story of Navigating Attachment Forged in Complex PTSD.

Sarah’s story is not one to be missed. From the very beginning, she captivated us with her journey of resilience and healing. She opens up about why she wrote her book, delving into personal experiences that shaped her life and led her down the path of trauma bonding. Childhood trauma leads to a life lived confused and often emotional reactive- making decisions  that create a pattern of continual traumatizing events.  Sarah’s honesty about the recovery process is inspiring!

She navigates the complex nature of trauma bonds, reminding us that they can be both beautiful and toxic in different contexts. As we delve deeper into the conversation, we begin to understand the importance of breaking the cycle of dysfunction and finding healthier relationships and patterns.

Sarah’s remarkable journey of self-discovery and healing is a testament to the power of shedding judgment, both of ourselves and others. She emphasizes the need to replace judgment with unconditional love and curiosity, allowing us to truly understand ourselves and our behaviors. By unraveling our histories and beliefs, we can embark on a lifelong journey of growth and self-understanding.

057 -Joan of Arc, Courage and Spirituality in Today’s Changing World! MIKE CAVALLI

What can we learn from Joan Of Arc?

Joan of Arc’s Timeless Wisdom: Love, Courage, and Collective Power with Mike Cavalli

In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming an intriguing guest, Mike Cavalli, who will be shedding light on the importance of understanding Joan of Arc. Mike dives right in, explaining how Joan’s courage and spirituality are still relevant in our ever-changing world. He emphasizes that love knows no fear of consequence and that embracing courage can lead to life-changing situations.

Moving on, Mike takes us into the fifth dimension, a realm of abundance, joy, peace, and justice for everyone. He draws parallels between today’s concept of justice and Joan of Arc’s desire for France to rule its own country. Mike urges us to approach justice with love instead of seeking vengeance, reminding us to respect others’ space while still wishing them well.

Of course, adopting this mindset can be challenging, especially for abuse survivors, and Lorraine acknowledges this. But Mike shares his personal relationship with Joan of Arc and how it developed over time. He recalls watching a film about her as a young boy and feeling an inexplicable connection.

But how does Mike communicate with Joan of Arc? Through table tipping, a form of physical mediumship. Lorraine is curious about the source of the table’s movement, and Mike clarifies that it’s Joan of Arc’s energy channeled through him. In fact, he even mentions that he doesn’t always need the table; he simply trusts what Joan gives him.

As the conversation progresses, they touch on various topics, from historical prophecies to our collective power. Mike strongly believes that courage is key to doing the right thing, whether it’s standing up against injustice from a boss or moving forward as a society. He shares an inspiring story about Jeanne d’Arc’s prediction about forced medical intervention in Austria, which didn’t come to pass due to collective energy. He has a prophecy from Joan of Arc!

The message is clear: love and positivity have the power to create change. Mike reminds us that our thoughts and actions matter, and that by focusing on personal growth, we contribute to collective healing. Each individual’s journey towards authenticity is crucial in shaping a better world.

So, if you’re looking for insights, inspiration, and a reminder of the incredible power within each of us, make sure to listen to this intriguing episode. Join Lorraine and Mike as they delve into the timeless wisdom of Joan of Arc and discover how her story still resonates today. Don’t wait, hit play now and let the transformation begin.

054 – Grieving Someone Who Is Still Alive! Stephanie Sarazin

What is ambiguous grief?

Welcome to today’s episode of the podcast! In this conversation, we dive deep into the topic of ambiguous grief with our special guest, Stephanie Sarazin. Stephanie is a writer and grief educator who has recently released a book titled “Soul Broken.”

Stephanie shares her personal journey of experiencing ambiguous grief and the challenges she faced in finding a guidebook on the subject. “Soul Broken” is a comprehensive guide for anyone who has grieved a loved one who is still alive or lost an intimate relationship that has significantly changed.

Ambiguous grief is often unnamed grief because we are unsure what it is and this conversation explains how may events in life cause us to experience emotional pain we struggle to label as ambiguous grief. 

During the discussion, Stephanie and our host, Lorraine, explore various aspects of ambiguous grief, including societal expectations, self-blame in narcissistic relationships, and the importance of acknowledging and honoring grief, even when there is no physical death. They also share personal stories of loss and isolation and discuss the stigmatization of grief experiences.

Throughout the episode, Stephanie emphasizes the importance of validating and affirming someone’s pain, as well as the need for personal reflection, growth, and self-care during the grieving process. The conversation also touches upon the role of denial, the power of truth-seeking, and the importance of nourishing our minds, bodies, and spirits during grief.

Stephanie and Lorraine conclude the episode by discussing the value of taking a step back to gain new perspectives, the importance of moving forward in a way that feels right, and the significance of conversations like these in breaking down societal taboos around grief and loss.

Don’t miss this brilliant and insightful conversation on understanding ambiguous grief, finding healing, and supporting one another through the grieving process. Tune in and join us on this journey of exploration and discovery.

053- Debunking The Dangerous Allure of Self-Help Gurus! Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta

Is self-help gurus dangerous?

 

Are you ready for a thought-provoking conversation that delves into ancient wisdom and self-help guru dynamics? Our latest podcast episode, “Debunking The Dangerous Allure of Self-Help Gurus!,” with author Tyson, is a must-listen!

In this episode, Tyson discusses his book, Sand Talk, which explores ancient wisdom and the potentially destructive aspects of cult dynamics. Get ready to dive deep into the idea of being a guru-like figure without resorting to manipulative tactics. Lorraine, our host, emphasizes the importance of being honest and making conscious decisions in life.

But that’s not all! Tyson shares his insights on the success that comes from avoiding influencer tricks and manipulative tactics. Lorraine, on the other hand, opens up about the value of true exploration and learning, rather than relying on sales-boosting strategies.

Throughout the episode, Tyson warns against falling into the trap of becoming addicted to popular beliefs. He also discusses using frameworks and indigenous methodology to analyze information without sidelining native voices. Prepare to gain valuable insights on confusion, cognitive dissonance, and the growth they can bring.

Lorraine brings up the concept of creating narratives and excuses that align with our beliefs, highlighting the need to get real and honest with ourselves and the world. Tyson adds that having a metaphysical understanding helps us ground ourselves in reality and trust others and their knowledge.

The conversation then delves into the mythos of exploration, shedding light on how explorers were often guided by established paths or faced danger when going astray. Discover how understanding oneself involves navigating indoctrinated belief systems and finding resonance within them.

As the episode progresses, we explore the importance of authenticity in relationships and the danger of fake connections. Tyson and Lorraine discuss how quickly people turn on each other without listening or engaging in meaningful discussions.

But wait, there’s more! In this episode, you’ll uncover the impact of abuse stories and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals by certain self-help gurus. We challenge the popular belief that truth is the enemy and emphasize the need for ego-less understanding.

So, whether you’re fascinated by ancient wisdom, interested in self-help dynamics, or simply looking for a thought-provoking conversation, this episode is for you.

Don’t miss out on this eye-opening discussion! Listen to the episode

051 What is our life purpose? – Hans Wilhelm

How do we find our purpose in life?

The answer is in understanding who you are and why you are here. Lorraine and Hans discuss this revealing both their knowledge and wareness experience. 

If you know you were born with a soul purpose, you’ll love this episode! 

🎙️ Dear Explorers! Don’t miss out on this episode of our mind-blowing podcast, where I had the privilege to chat with the incredible Hans Wilhelm, renowned writer and illustrator of children’s books. But wait, there’s more! Hans isn’t sharing stories from his enchanting books; he’s diving into the fascinating realm of spirituality!

In this riveting conversation Hans reveals his main profession as a masterful writer and illustrator, but that’s just the beginning of his mesmerizing journey.

Get ready, because Hans bravely opens up about his deeply personal experience with his father’s afterlife communication through a medium. Inspired by this profound encounter, he decides to spread his spiritual insights to younger audiences through YouTube. And guess what? Hans knows exactly how to capture their attention – by condensing his videos to under 10 minutes, making them perfect for the curious minds of the youth.

But Hans doesn’t stop there! He simplifies the purpose of life as becoming free and shedding the limitations that hold us back. He eloquently reminds us that Earth is but a temporary existence for growth, not our permanent home. As the conversation unfolds, Hans delves into intriguing topics like karma, the law of love, and the vibrations of the universe.

Lorraine chimes in, discussing the importance of resolving unresolved emotions and embracing Earth as a school for learning and experimentation. Together, they explore the profound connection between our own emotional reactions and the outside world, reminding us that everything in our lives is a mirror reflection of ourselves – even the people we may dislike.

With each passing minute, the conversation deepens, touching on topics like clearing negative karma, evolving our souls, and consciously choosing our responses to life’s challenges. Lorraine and Hans emphasize the unique and purposeful nature of our spiritual journey, urging us to become self-aware and embrace the fascinating times we find ourselves in.

But what about those moments of fear and anxiety? Hans reassures us that connecting with the divinity within us and trusting in higher powers can guide us through even the most difficult situations. Imagine the relief and wisdom that can come from listening to someone who has been there before, sharing their experiences with an open heart.

Together, Lorraine and Hans encourage us to acknowledge our unresolved emotions, confront them with self-compassion, and lean into our own personal evolution. They remind us that we are here to love unconditionally and that every challenge we encounter is an opportunity for growth.

So, my dear listeners, why wait? Time is running out, and the world is in need of our conscious awakening. Tune in now to this extraordinary episode to gain insight, find serenity, and build a beautiful highway of love and growth for future generations. Let Lorraine and Hans guide you on this transformative journey, as you discover the power within yourself to manifest gratefulness, release emotional charges, and create a brighter future. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to listen and learn – the time is now!” 🎧🌟

Join us on this enlightening journey and discover the power within yourself to create positive change.
