Do you feel trapped by your mind? Does it feel like it's caging you in, with no way out? Do you feel helpless, even after trying postitive affirmations, therapy and numerous ways to 'change' your thoughts? What if there was another way? A way that didn't involve changing any thinking. A way that showed you who you truly are. A way where you realise you aren't trapped inside the cage, but rather you are the one observing the cage. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.

The start of the new Heart series. What IS the heart? The heart is the part of you that has remained unchanged since you were born. The heart is the absence of problems. The heart is the antithesis of the mind. The heart is peace. The heart is expansion. The heart is infinite. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.

Wow wow wow! What an incredible episode this was. Meehir and I met at a personal development course in March 2023 and immediately hit it off because... well... let's just say he doesn't hold back with the jokes! He's an amazing heart-centred person, and when I say that, I don't mean "la-di-da-di-da, life is amazing all the time, sunshine and rainbows, peace love and unity". I mean he stands for the truth at all times. He has been through some very dark days and the only way I can describe him is a true "heart warrior". He was the perfect guest for this podcast. Here's a little bio about Meehir, written by the man himself: Meehir Patel is an Executive Facilitator and Personal Leadership Coach at Creative Self-Mastery.   His journey has led him from wanting to jump in front of a train at Tottenham Court Road Station in London, to owning the truth that your demons hold no bearing on the life you want to create and who you want to become.... for him that was being the most empowered version of himself and to have his life and reality reflect that new found power. Meehir is committed to supporting his clients in experiencing that same empowerment for their own journey and transformation. His coaching has a 'no stone unturned' and a 'no nonsense approach' to actualising his client's leadership potential and their deepest desires. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode.

Today we have a very special episode to bring you in to your heart. This is the Innocence (In No Sense) meditation. I first heard a similar meditation during William Whitecloud's Create Your Destiny course. Since then, I have used this meditation every single time I create something, whether that be a video, a podcast episode, a post, a speech. I also use it when my mind is frantically trying to figure something out. It brings me into alignment, where I can hear my heart and my intuition.  Once I tune in to that, it is obvious which choice I should make, or which step I need to take. Once you're in the Innocent state, set an intention or ask a question in your mind. It can help to visualise what you want in a circle. Then, imagine yourself stepping in to the circle, and wait for an answer to come. It will often come as a shape, symbol, feeling, or vague idea. Do not rationalise or think about it. Say/write "what becomes obvious to me about [symbol] is..." and start speaking or writing immediately. The first thing that comes up. Again, do not question or doubt. You do not want your mind to get in the way. We are speaking the language of the heart here. Intuition is not logical and does not make 'sense'. But, after all, that is why you are here. To find yourself In No Sense. Feel free to reach out to me if you want further guidance. This is genuinely one of the most useful things I have ever come across. It simplifies all 'hard' decisions and allows creativity to flow, even when you feel blocked. I hope you find this useful in your life. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode.

Are you always CERTAIN of things? Do you always try to be RIGHT? Is that getting in the way of you experiencing your natural flow state? Could the one thing you think makes you so much smarter than everybody else (your mind) be the one thing that is stopping you from reaching the peaceful intuitive heart? ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode.

This is an amazing episode I recorded with an incredible human being, Raj Gorsia. I met Raj during a personal development course at the beginning of 2023. The level of prescence and heart-centredness he brings when you speak to him is something to admire. You can tell he’s deeply listening and from a very calm place. His voice alone brings a sense of ease and calmness; a fact that many people have told him! I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it! Here’s a little bio for Raj: Raj would summarise himself as an alchemist; someone who likes to mix modalities and turn them into one unified approach for helping people to thrive. He is a leader with many titles: he’s an ICF qualified coach, mindfulness teacher, retreat host, kundalini yoga mentor, business coach, qualified fitness and nutrition expert, and a huge traveler. Beyond all of that, to Raj, it’s all about energy. How to align the energies, and explode them out in a calm and effective way.

Are you holding back in expressing yourself in life? Do you worry constantly about other people’s opinions of you? Censoring your own opinion, for fear of standing out. Why do we do this?  Why do we forsake our heart’s truths moment to moment. We betray ourselves. Betray our truth. Betray our souls. Are you speaking your truth? Start now. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.

Do you really want to change? Have you been working towards a goal, and not seeing results? Or you keep sliding back and can’t figure out why? What if, consciously you want to change, but subconsciously you don’t. What if there’s a certain comfort that resides in staying the same? What if there’s a benefit to you NOT achieving what you’re trying to achieve? What if there’s comfort in staying small? ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.
