Raw Conversations with Corinne Blum
90 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago -Raw Conversations is an off the cuff podcast talking about what it’s like to be human behind the masks, facades and filters we often wear or hide behind in life. We dive below who we think we “should” be, and into who we truly are as our Authentic Self. Embracing our entire humanity and learning along the way that it’s ok to be who we are. Nothing to fix. Nothing to get rid of. Just our humanity looking to be held, loved and accepted for what and who it is. Life is just a series of experiences. Can we hold it without judgment and embrace it instead, with love. For love, is the true alchemist.

Faith vs Fear, Living Authentically & Who Or What Is Really In Control?
April 23, 2024 06:00 - 44 minutes - 41.5 MBWe’re shifting out of the paradigm of fear and moving into one of faith. But faith isn’t a controlled execution. We don’t say we’re taking a leap of faith and then announce our strategy to get there as if it were some mathematical equation with a particular answer. It’s a leap of faith because we’re stepping, leaping, into an unknown. When we let go of trying to control life, others, ourselves—and trust, that actually by letting go we’re tuning into our own gps system, our own guidance syst...
The Relationship Between The Spiritual & The Human As A Vehicle For Evolution & Growth
April 16, 2024 08:05 - 41 minutes - 38.7 MBWe are in a partnership with our spiritual being and our human being, looking to find collaboration, harmony and learning between both. I think spirituality often gets misconstrued for being a path that has to overcome our humanity—as if our human was something bad or wrong or something to transcend because it isn’t “spiritual—but I believe our humanity is the vehicle for our spiritual growth. There’s a reason we chose to be human and therefore there is a purpose for our human traits. Our em...
When We Hit Rock Bottom & What Happens On The Otherside
April 09, 2024 06:00 - 46 minutes - 43.1 MBHitting rock bottom can come about for many reasons and there are many gifts in it, too. It might come from an accumulation of stress, overwhelm, struggle, or it might come as an invitation to truly trust, surrender and let go. And too, sometimes, even though they say that the Universe will only hand you what you can handle, we get to say, “Enough” and draw a line in the sand. Sometimes it all can feel like too much and we really can’t bear anymore. Sometimes it has to do with our individua...
The Fear Of Not Getting It Right: Reclaiming Our True & Natural Power
April 02, 2024 06:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBWe’ve strongly been indoctrinated to believe that there is something more powerful than us outside of us. Whether it’s the voice of authority, our parents, peers, God or even the Universe. We can have the tendency to believe something outside of us knows better, will praise or punish us, is teaching us lessons sometimes kindly and sometimes cruelly. What we don’t realise is that we are not separate to what we seek guidance from. We are it. We are God, the Universe, Consciousness etc. We are...
Love vs Fear: How Making The Choice Will Change Your Life
March 26, 2024 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBFor millennia mystics, poets and spiritual teachers have been talking about love. But now more than ever, in times of both crumbling and awakening, the choice to follow the path of love seems all the more prevalent. Choosing love vs fear will change your life. It will also change the world. But it isn’t to say that we won’t still experience fear, but what I mean here is, will you let fear rule or let love lead? Love is the great alchemist. Love is the only true and real thing. When we lea...
Having The Patience To Move Through Your Emotions, State & Phase Of Being
March 19, 2024 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBWe are an instant coffee kind of culture. We want to fix and make things better instantaneously, and often strive to getting rid of symptoms vs looking at the core. Our emotional world needs time. It needs patience. It requires us to be present, stay and be with our experience for more than a millisecond. It can be a tall order in a society that vies for our attention all around the clock. So more often than not, people push their feelings down and “away,” putting them in a state of emotion...
You’re Not A Project: You Get To Be Loved Now
March 12, 2024 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBYou’re not a never-ending project. You’re not imperfect as you are. You don’t need fixing because you’re not broken. You don’t even need to change how you’re feeling or what you’re experiencing by somehow “making it better,” if it means that you have to deny the truth of where you are in this moment. The only way to truly “change,” evolve and grow is to first be where we are, here and now, and honour, respect, listen to, and be with our experience. Denying our emotions won’t help us grow. W...
The Progression Of Spirituality: The Steps To Your Evolution
March 05, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBWe often think of progression as something akin to climbing steps: upwards and higher. We aspire to reach a higher place that is “better” to where (and who) we currently are. I see progression, on a spiritual or personal evolutionary level, as a spiralling into ourselves so that we can spiral back up and out. We have to go into our humanity to reach our divinity. The progression might look similar to what Dr. Joe Dispenza says about moving from “thought, to feeling, to knowing. From someo...
Don’t Be Ashamed Of Your Humanity: You’re Meant To Be Human
February 27, 2024 07:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBOur culture still holds so much shame around our humanity. I see even in the “self-growth” and spiritual community, this language around ‘getting rid of,’ ‘competing against,’ ‘winning over’ certain aspects of our human selves. From my experience, I don’t find this helpful nor productive. There are no parts to get rid of. If we’re fighting against, or competing with, certain aspects of ourselves, we’re in battle with ourselves. We’re in separation, fragmentation and in conflict. How can we ...
The Challenge Of Being Your New Self Within The Old Familiar
February 19, 2024 17:52 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBIt’s not easy to change and evolve ourselves because when we evolve, we might find ourselves outgrowing the old and familiar. It’s one of the reasons people don’t do the inner work, or are afraid to, because maybe they begin to resonate less with their friends or environment. Or maybe they go home to their family and their parents trigger all the old ways, patterns and habits. They’re afraid of losing the familiar which feels safe because it’s known. When we evolve ourselves and step into o...
Be Here Now With Love: Letting Go Of Concepts & Trusting The Unknown
February 14, 2024 12:23 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBWe often have ideas, concepts and expectations of what we think life should look like. It’s often in those hard defined ideas that we experience suffering because most every expectation is followed by disappointment. We create ideas because it gives us a false sense of safety. That we’re taking the undefinable, unknown that is the future, and trying to make it known by predicting what it should be and look like. But rather than trying to control and define it in order to give us the illusi...
You’re Not Your Identity & Letting Go Of The Projection Of What Life Should Be
February 05, 2024 07:30 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBYou’re not your identity, nor are you all the beliefs and stories you’ve unconsciously made and believed yourself to be. It sounds odd because we get ‘identified’ with our identity, right? We think we are our behaviour, our beliefs, our anxieties and our fears. But really who you truly are, is an essence, the rest is learnt and sometimes even made up. Just like we attach ourselves to our identity because it feels familiar, and therefore safe, we equally project onto our lives what life shou...
How Fear Invites Us To Truly Live: a travel story & its gifts
January 30, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.8 MBIn this episode I share a story that placed me at the edge of danger, on the corners of a dark shadow, that though it did scare and shock me, also brought me great insight into, perhaps, the art of truly living. Truly trusting. Truly letting go and allowing my Higher Self to guide the way. I’ve long since believed in, and guided individuals through, embracing our fear. The only way out is through. When we face our fears, and profoundly trust our greater being, we’re able to return home to w...
Reflecting, Trusting The Journey & The Wisdom Of The Plateau
January 23, 2024 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBHow much do we trust the journey? Truly trust that wherever we are, whatever we’re experiencing in life, that it is in fact serving us. Sometimes what we need is not what we want. Sometimes the plateau feels never-ending and pointless and yet in hindsight, it offers great wisdom. It’s the point of stillness where everything takes place from. We often don’t see “results” or glean the wisdom we’ve inherited until after the fact. “Hindsight is 20/20 vision.” So it’s important to pause along th...
Leaning Into Life, Trust-falling Into The Arms Of Your Higher Self
January 17, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBLife constantly invites us to lean into it. I’m learning that what it’s asking is for us to radically trust. To recognise that it’s all just an experience that is innately neutral, but that our perception and perspective gives it meaning. So reality is totally subjective depending on how we choose to respond to it. Life is like a river. The obstacles we create place stones along the way. The river may bend, it may get choppy and then flow smoothly again. It’s all neutral. It’s all the way. ...
Stretching Ourselves Beyond Our Comfort Zone & the Familiar Into Growth
January 09, 2024 07:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBIt’s all too easy to get cushy and comfy in routine and predictability. The familiar feels safe. But growth happens in the unfamiliar and the unknown. It happens when we stretch our metaphoric skin and take risks in life. Change takes courage. Being human, takes courage. But if we want growth, if we want to feel enlivened, if we want to create positive change in our lives, we’re going to have to get uncomfortable. Courage always arises in the face of fear. Change, whether external or inte...
Timing: How To Trust The Process
December 19, 2023 07:00 - 24 minutes - 23.1 MBTiming is a tricky one. We often want to make things happen in a way that we believe we can control everything and everyone in our lives. But that control is an illusion. There’s a process to things and everything that life presents you with, is for you. Maybe there’s more work to be done. Maybe there’s more allowing, softening and surrendering to happen. Maybe not everyone in the scenario you’re dreaming up, is ready. It all comes down to trust. Trust the timing. Trust the process. Trust...
The Victim Archetype & Choosing Happiness
December 12, 2023 08:54 - 41 minutes - 38.6 MBWe all have the victim archetype within us but sometimes we can get over identified or over attached to it. It’s the part that says, “Why me?” “Life is unfair” “Good things happen to other people, bad things always happen to me” “I’ll never get what I want.” The victim feels helpless and hopeless and therefore doesn’t work to change things. When dealing with the victim, we have to call upon other parts of us to help us see things from a different perspective and with a clearer lens. It’...
Consciousness: Remembering Who We Are & The Magic Of Life
December 05, 2023 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MBWe might focus a lot on doing the inner work: working through our patterns of behaviour, discovering our wounds, what our needs are, how to cultivate emotional intelligence etc. But if we don’t look at how consciousness plays into all of this, it’s kind of like studying fish in the ocean and ignoring the fact that they live in water. We are consciousness. Consciousness is in all things. It is what is alive. Call it an energy, frequency, love, God…it is the fabric that weaves through all thin...
Facing & Embracing Our Fear
November 28, 2023 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBWhat I’ve learned over the past few decades, is that the only way to really come home to ourselves is to first walk through our fear. We must not only face it, but embrace it in order to move through into the deeper aspects of ourselves and return home to the lap of love and who we truly are as our Authentic Self. Fear makes us uncomfortable, it’s scary, painful even, but it is the door we must walk through in order to find our way back home. And by home, I mean our true essence. Not our fal...
Transitions: Processing Your Past In Order To Move Into Your Future
November 22, 2023 11:46 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBAll change requires transition but we often tend to skip over the transition, or at the very least, move through it unaware. Because sometimes transition is uncomfortable. But transition is a wonderful invitation to be in the present moment. It’s a great opportunity for us to slow down, reflect, process and let go of our past, so that we can move into the future (or the next now moment) with presence, wholeness and joy. If we skip the transition, we carry over the baggage of our past. We f...
Awakening & The Shadow
November 13, 2023 08:18 - 30 minutes - 28 MBThere’s a process to awakening. First we must find the courage to look at the shadow within and around us, and the shadow is simply the parts that we don’t want to look at. The parts we deny, reject, abandon and hide away. But the shadow is the doorway, the portal, to our liberation and peace. Once we move through our shadow, all our fears, pain, wounding, and learn to love it all—learn to love every corner of ourselves—then we come back home to who we truly are. And who we truly are, by th...
The Courage To Change—Trusting Ourselves To Take The Risk
November 07, 2023 09:15 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBAnything that we do entails a certain level of risk. There’s a risk in falling in love, moving to a different part of the world, starting a new job. The risk is stepping into the unknown, not knowing the outcome. The illusion is that we can control the outcome. That we can control others. But we don’t have control of anything, really, other than the way we choose to respond to our experience. When we want to create change in our lives, we have to be willing to take the risk to step into th...
Letting Go Of Resistance In Order To Create Change
October 31, 2023 08:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MBNothing changes when we are in a state of resistance and yet sometimes we have to go through the resistance state to clarify what it is that we want to change. But in order for change to occur, we must stop resisting what is. We have to allow, accept and feel into what is happening right here, right now. Only then can we make a choice as to how we want to respond to our current reality. We have to stand on two feet first before we can take a step forwards. This goes both for our external an...
Needs: How To Fulfil Them Ourselves vs Expecting Others To
October 24, 2023 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBWe all have needs but many of them are unconscious, stemming from childhood, and we play them out through our ‘reactive’ behaviour in relationship. Needs are just a feeling that we require in a particular moment and situation. Unmet needs are a feeling we needed that we didn’t receive (most especially in childhood). The need could be for safety, validation, love, assurance, connection, truth worthiness…and so on. But when our needs are unconscious and we haven’t learnt yet how to give ourse...
From Duality & Judgement To Wholeness & Compassion
October 17, 2023 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34.9 MBIf we believe that there are parts of us that are good and parts of us that are bad, if we believe that certain emotions are positive and therefore ok to feel and others are negative and therefore should be gotten rid of, we are living in duality within ourselves. When we’re in duality, we see things in black and white, good and bad, right and wrong and inevitably what that produces, is judgment. When we judge parts of ourselves, we sever and fragment ourselves which is what makes us feel ...
Living A Non-Linear Life: Cultivating Resilience, Endurance & Radical Trust
October 11, 2023 08:52 - 35 minutes - 33.1 MBLife isn’t linear, but cyclical and sometimes squiggly. It isn’t a constant forward and upward moving line, either. It ebbs and flows. It travels across various terrains. Sometimes it’s easeful and we’re riding a nice, long wave to the shore, and in other moments it’s tempestuous. Cultivating resilience and endurance is learning how to dance with life. Knowing that we’re in partnership with life, the Universe, God (choose your word). We’re co-creating this experience as we go along. But ...
Self-Trust: Knowing How To Show Up & Be There For Yourself
October 03, 2023 20:10 - 35 minutes - 33.3 MBSelf-trust is not something that happens over night, most especially in a society that doesn’t encourage us to listen to our true selves. It is something that is cultivated over time. First we have to get to know our true Self, which lies beneath all the false layers of who we think we should be for others. Next, we have to show up with presence and kindness with enough consistency that we begin to recognise that we can rely on ourselves. We see that we’re no longer ignoring or neglecting,...
The Lighthouse—Using Law Of Attraction To Manifest What You Desire
September 26, 2023 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MB“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ― Rumi No matter what it is that we’re seeking in life, be it love, work, home, we often expend so much energy trying to “find” it. In the process of “looking,” we get tired, we lose hope, faith and the belief that what we’re seeking, we’ll find. In this episode I offer you an analogy to help you stop seeking and start receiving, instead. I also clarify what I b...
How Stress & Anxiety Run Our Lives & Creating The Solution
August 29, 2023 14:30 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBStress, anxiety, worry, fear, all have a way of taking up a lot of our time and vitality if we let them. But we often try to “deal” with these by masking the symptoms. We’re a Bandaid culture that doesn’t often like to take the time to go a little deeper into the core of WHY we feel stressed, anxious, worried or scared. In this episode I talk about how stress plays out in our lives, how we tend to deal with it and how we can deal with—or, be with (listen to the full episode to see what I mea...
How We Pretend: Coming Face To Face With Ourselves
August 22, 2023 11:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBHow often do you find yourself pretending? You might not be conscious of it but we often don’t share how we really are, not only with others but sometimes, more importantly, with ourselves. We’ll distract ourselves from the discomfort, we’ll push down the pain, we’ll avoid the sadness…but there’s no ‘away.’ There is only repression and at one point or another, we will have to face what’s inside of us otherwise it will find a way out; most likely in an unpleasant way. We live in a pain avoid...
You’re Not Your Personality But Why It’s Good To Get To Know It Well
August 08, 2023 11:49 - 1 minute - 1.21 MB*Correction: around 30 minutes what I meant to say is:” never has it felt bad to put my ego to the side and apologise when I was wrong. When I found humility and maturity. I think my brain thought I said it out loud but I don’t think the words came out that way! 😊. A lot of our suffering comes from the over identification with our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We believe we ARE them…but we’re not. This human experience is a dance, a conversation, between the essence of who we...
Tools To Know Yourself Better: The Enneagram
August 01, 2023 11:59 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBI believe that the more we get to know ourselves, the more liberation, happiness, fulfilment and peace we create for ourselves. When I was introduced to the Enneagram in my early/mid twenties, it gave me a context to understand myself more. I felt so relieved in a way, thinking, “Oh wow, I’m not the only one that feels this way?!” But more so, it helped me understand the underbelly of who I am. How to work with my shadow, understand what motivates me and how to take care of myself better, a...
How To Date Authentically
July 26, 2023 11:20 - 35 minutes - 33.2 MBDating isn’t so easy these days for singles. Some of you might be from a generation that you remember what dating was like before smart phones and dating apps; it could only happen organically. Some of you might be from a generation where you’ve never met someone in an organic way but only through apps. It’s a strange time for dating for everyone. But no matter which way you choose to date, how to do it authentically is really the core question and motivation. In this episode I go into wh...
Why Women, Men & Romantic Relationships Are Suffering In Our Modern Culture
July 19, 2023 18:51 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBThis is really only the beginning of a much vaster conversation. Really, I’d like to speak more to women and men directly, and gather their stories and share more based on what I learn from them. Already I’ve had men especially, reaching out wanting to share their thoughts and experiences. Both women and men alike, have their plight. And I believe much of it comes down to an unhealthy society that emasculates men and masculinises women. In the process, both the masculine and feminine within...
When You Hit The Wall & Times Are Tough
July 11, 2023 15:08 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBYesterday I hit the wall and I felt vulnerable for it. I had a good cry. Today I’m sharing a little about hitting the wall. About not knowing or of knowing that somehow “here” doesn’t feel right, but I can’t yet see where “there” is and how to get there. I don’t have answers but all I can say is that many, if not all of us, are undergoing great transition and the dragging on of it is frustrating. It can feel like we’re constantly running up again walls, that there’s no clarity, that you ca...
The Illusion Of Control: The Safety We’re Really Looking For
July 05, 2023 08:29 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBThere is an illusion that comes through wanting to control others or the environment around us. What I mean by that is, we believe that if we can control someone or something else around us, that we’ll feel safe. But safety can’t be conditional and dependent on something outside of us because the reality is we don’t have control of anyone or anything outsides of ourselves. We only have control over ourselves and how we choose to respond to situations and people in our lives. So what we’re...
Confidence & Self-Esteem: How Comfortable Are You Within Yourself?
June 27, 2023 11:29 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MBConfidence isn’t something you acquire from the outside. Confidence naturally comes when you become comfortable within yourself, and in order to feel comfortable within yourself, you have to get comfy with the parts that make you feel uncomfortable. That’s a mouthful! You can say affirmations, sure. You can do things that make you feel good, sure. Ultimately though, confidence arises when we’ve learned to sit with our deeper discomfort: our fear, pain, sadness and wounding. We’re flexing...
What Is The Meaning Of Intimacy: It’s Not Just About Sex
June 21, 2023 12:41 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBWhat is intimacy? What does it require? Why are we afraid of it? Why is intimacy so important? Intimacy is all about heart and it requires us to reside in our heart so that we can connect to others. But our hearts are both powerful and tender so there is great vulnerability and even risk that comes with intimacy. Ultimately, intimacy begins with being intimate with ourselves and being intimate with ourselves asks us to drop into our heart and be honest with ourselves. “Into Me I See” is...
You Are Not A Project: How To Have A Good Relationship With Yourself
June 13, 2023 12:10 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBYou’re not a project because you’re not broken and therefore there’s nothing to fix, or even accomplish. I wish I could give you a step 1,2,3 on how to do this life business, but if it were that linear, life would come with a manual. For me, this work isn’t about “doing,” at least it doesn’t start from there. It’s about “being.” How are we “being” with ourselves. Are we being kind or mean? Are we critical or accepting? How we treat ourselves deciphers how “happy” or at peace we are within...
How To Liberate Ourselves From Unnecessary Suffering
June 06, 2023 16:21 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MBThe main things that keep us from feeling liberated within ourselves are: our story, judgment and expectations. There will always be an element of struggle and suffering in life, but there’s no need for the unnecessary suffering that comes through all the ways in which we keep ourselves small, put ourselves down or feel like we’re failing at life. One of the greatest intentions I hold in my work, is to support us in liberating ourselves from that unnecessary suffering so that we can be in...
Capacity, Not Taking It Personal & Dropping The Story
May 31, 2023 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MBSometimes we simply don’t have the capacity to meet someone’s needs and vice-versa. When we do the inner work, we begin to see life and others through a clear, more neutral lens. Our perspective is less tinted and tainted by our own wounds, triggers and unmet needs. When we’ve healed our wounds and tended to our triggers and know how to show up for ourselves with acceptance, love and care, we can see things for what they are rather than the story we’ve made up about us, that person, the rel...
There’s Nothing Wrong w/You & You’re Not Your Behaviour
May 23, 2023 16:49 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBWhat if there was nothing wrong with you? What if there was no problem to fix, or nothing to get rid of? What if you knew that you are innately good enough and worthy but maybe there are just parts of you that need your loving attention? How would that change things? And how would it feel to know that you are not your behaviour? That sure, we all need to be accountable for our behaviour, but that our inherent worth isn’t based on what we do but who we are at the core of our being. When...
Triggers, Needs & The Messy Parts Of Being Human
May 16, 2023 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBWe don’t like to talk about the messy parts of being human because we’ve been taught and told to believe that there are “good” parts of us and “bad” parts of us—which is totally untrue. We’ve been told we need to be perfect, happy and positive all the time. That some emotions and states of being are positive and others are negative and to stay well away from the “negative” ones. But in doing so, we neglect, reject and abandon ourselves. If we want to feel liberated and at peace with ourselve...
Triggers, Insecurities & The Messy Parts Of Being Human
May 16, 2023 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBWe don’t like to talk about the messy parts of being human because we’ve been taught and told to believe that there are “good” parts of us and “bad” parts of us—which is totally untrue. We’ve been told we need to be perfect, happy and positive all the time. That some emotions and states of being are positive and others are negative and to stay well away from the “negative” ones. But in doing so, we neglect, reject and abandon ourselves. If we want to feel liberated and at peace with ourselve...
Heart, Frequency & Like Attracts Like
May 09, 2023 11:00 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MBIf we want to change the world we have to change ourselves but changing ourselves doesn’t mean that we’re not good enough as we are. It just means that we need to drop into our heart and fall into love and the way to do that is by accepting our entire humanity. We do have the power to change the world. All it would require would be to drop into our hearts and raise our frequency but the challenge getting there collectively, is that we have to embody it first and we can’t embody it fully if ...
On Being Wrong, Being Human & Humility
May 03, 2023 11:27 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBI’ve learned that humility is such a key part of being human and embracing our humanity—all of it. That the more I soften, surrender, trust and remain curious, the more life flows. The deeper and more connected our relationships become. The more easeful this experience becomes even when things get tough—because they inevitably will and do get tough at times. The more you know, you realise you know nothing. But knowing doesn’t come from the mind alone. It’s a knowing on all levels of being...
Self-Awareness - Back to basics
April 25, 2023 11:00 - 33 minutes - 31.2 MBCultivating self-awareness is really the starting point to this journey of getting to know yourself. Without self-awareness we’re at the mercy of our lives and unconscious behaviours, which include our triggers, traumas, wounding, limiting self-beliefs etc. Without self-awareness we’ll continue to replicate the same patterns of behaviour, the same dynamics of relationship, not much will really change because we’re not in the driver’s seat of our lives. Life is happening to us instead of throu...
Meeting Our Resistance
April 19, 2023 09:49 - 25 minutes - 23.9 MBWe all resist at times. We resist our experience, how we’re feeling, our pain and discomfort. But the more we resist, the greater our state of tension becomes. The more we resist, the more layers of density we build up over time. And the more layers we cake on, the more afraid we become, which in turn makes us resist more. It becomes a vicious cycle. We want to be in a state of relaxation—which doesn’t mean always being happy, btw. It means being at peace with our current experience. In ord...
Let’s Talk About Relationship
April 11, 2023 13:29 - 32 minutes - 30.4 MBRelationship is such a vast topic, rich with content. Whether you’re single longing to be in relationship, or are in a partnership, relationship can be a central focus of our lives. When talking about relationship the immediate question is: what is our relationship to relationship? Which basically means, what is our relationship to love and attachment? Relationship is an amazing catalyst for healing. It will trigger the crap out of us, but it equally provides us with the opportunity to he...
