Remembering Intentions
April 25, 2022 08:00 - 7 minutes - 11.6 MBAs we work through our busy lives in this modern society, we often get sidetracked, irritated by the whims of life and what it throws in front of us. When it comes to living with intention, it is important to frame up that "right view" and ensure that we keep tabs on what matters most. Don't allow your intentions to become like your New Year's Resolutions. Begin daily with the intention and keep it front and center in your mind. Becoming more mindful helps a great deal with this process...

We all face daily challenges with life circumstances, but is it the circumstance that causes us to get angry or actually are are angry at ourselves?

When we do get upset, we are allowing the circumstance, situation, or even person to temporarily allow us suffering. This is what the Buddha discovered and believe me -...

Seeing Beyond just this Life

March 26, 2022 08:00 - 53 minutes - 60.6 MBThe Law of Attraction isn't just about "like attracts like." There is a physical component to it as well.

In today's episode, I have a real life example of an individual that has done this. Her early life trauma held her back, but now she's releasing that negative baggage and changing her life; both physically and mentally. Ann Hince's goal i...
