There is a connection between your physical and mental health and the success of your business or career. In this episode, I explore different ways that you can begin to incorporate self-care into your routines in order to succeed.

Highlights

• From my point of view, the American medical system is not working. I explain why.
• Individual needs vary and by understanding how your body works, you can find solutions that are specific for you.
• I talk about a recent hair mineral tissue analysis test I recently did, and the results allowed me to fully understand how important it is to learn about your body and not just trust the practitioners – including doctors – to whom you go for advice.
• It’s hard to know what you need to know, which is why it’s important to develop your intuition.
• I explore why via Conscious Synchronicity I didn’t learn about the results sooner.
• You have to be ready and willing to be healthy in order to be led to the things you need.
• You have more power than you realize to have your life work well and you feel good physically.

Judy Wilkins-Smith is a world-renowned Family Patterns, Systemic Work and Constellations Expert, Author, and Motivational Speaker who offers guidance on how to decode your emotional DNA and shift the unconscious inherited patterns that are no longer serving you. Her new book is Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint: A Powerful Guide to Transformation Through Disentangling Multigenerational Patterns.

Highlights

• Originally from South Africa, Judy Wilkins-Smith is now in the United States and tells how she got into constellation work.
• Judy explains the meaning and effects of “Emotional DNA” and its epigenetic component. She explains the meaning of epigenetics.
• The advantage of decoding your emotional DNA is that you see you’re not actually stuck and can change what isn’t working for you.
• Judy explains how to recognize your patterns so you can make changes.
• People, generally, have been brought up to believe that suffering is necessary. When we change that pattern, we can have better outcomes. This is not difficult, but it does take time.
• Judy talks about how to change a habitual trauma response to a triumph response, both of which happen in the brain quickly.
• People are often afraid to make changes because if they do, they won’t belong anymore. Making changes is not changing the system but rather expanding it. When you do this, you become a pioneer.
• We talk about how stepping outside of the pack creates leaders who overcome their feeling of not belonging by creating followers.
• When people resist change, it’s often because they have an unresolved issue. Once they resolve it, it’s easier to switch. Until they do that, the unconscious loyalties and hidden patterns will keep them stuck.
• Judy gives suggestions for what you can do to move forward and how to look at your money patterns.
• Judy wants people to remember that everybody's got exactly what they need to go as far as they want and suffering isn't sacred. It's stupid.

While reading Spellbound by Dr. Dan Lieberman, who I interviewed in the last episode, I was struck by the sentence, “The purpose of life is to become your true self”. I have been thinking about that a lot and, in this episode, I share some of my thoughts.

Highlights

• Although you may share some characteristics with other people, no one is exactly like you. You are totally unique and perfect the way you are.
• We are programmed to always be looking for people like us, yet it is our differences that can make life interesting.
• I don’t think that our uniqueness has been celebrated enough.
• A lot of our societal loneliness is due to people not knowing how to know love themself.
• We aren’t taught to appreciate our differences.
• For business people, our businesses are an opportunity for us to learn more about ourselves.
• Because of the Covid pause, a lot of people are evaluating their lives and what’s important to them. They’re also asking, “What do I want to do now and who do I want to be or become?”
• I talk about the process I’ve been going through in putting together my new business.
• In business, we have to learn how to interact with other people who are not us.
• Everything you do in business is your opportunity to learn more about who you are, your values, and who you were willing to be in the world.
• Giving ourselves permission for self-exploration is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves.
• You have the right to love and take care of yourself.
• Each one of us is given what we need to become who we’re becoming, and that’s different for every person.
• You have the opportunity to ask yourself, “What do I want to keep and what do I want to change?” It’s important to not judge that which you want to change as bad.
• Getting in touch with yourself is one of the most important things you can do.

Dr. Dan Lieberman is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. He is the Co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More, which has been translated into 20 languages. He is also the Author of the recently published Spellbound: Modern Science, Ancient Magic, and the Hidden Potential of the Unconscious Mind.

Highlights

• Dr. Lieberman explains how his interest in the topics found in his new book started in the 1980s when he stumbled upon the works of Carl Jung and was blown away.
• He doesn’t talk about synchronicity because he wanted to talk about mysticism from a scientific viewpoint.
• In his book, Dr. Lieberman says that “the purpose of life is to become your true self”. This is harder than it sounds because we tend to learn through suffering.
• The unconscious mind has a profound effect on how we experience life and who we are.
• The pain and suffering of life exists in the service of growth.
• “The shadow” part of us forms when we push away all the things that we think is wrong to be. But at some point, we have to deal with this shadow.
• The more we allow ourselves to feel the darkness within ourselves, the easier it is to let it go. The polarization that is happening now is because people are afraid to acknowledge their shadow.
• The closer we get to our true self the more unique we become.
• Cultivating awareness is essential.
• Inspiration can change the course of our life. Inspiration can change history.
• The vast majority of our lives is driven by our unconscious.
• Dr. Lieberman talks about the three forms of meditation that he discusses in his book including focused awareness.

I have been looking at how we change as we grow older as part of a natural process. In this episode, I talk about how so many aspects of ourselves go through a maturing process that affects our mind-body along with how we perceive things and how we perceive ourselves.

Highlights

• I have come to see that as we grow older, many aspects of us change, but our core stays the same.
• The Money Energy Tuneup that I did recently deeply affected me as well as others who attended or listened to the recording.
• In the 1980s, I developed my crystal business using my intuition. It was the first one like it and this required that I do something unique and innovative.
• After the crystal business, as I created something else, I tended to follow the rules that I learned from other people, and I did this for many years. Now I see that I never reached my original level of success because I wasn’t following my own inner guidance.
• In Spellbound, the author says that the purpose of life is finding your true self. I’m trying to stay true to that as I form The MetaMind Circle.
• Don’t think there’s something wrong with you or that you’ve done something wrong, you are just going through a normal journey of self-discovery.
• Part of finding the real you is finding the part of you that’s connected to the Universal Force, which from my point of view, is love.
• It’s interesting to realize how everything has changed over the past decades. We’re all going through some major changes now that are going to affect all of us and how we view our lives.
• The chaos that we’re going through is different from chaos of the past because so many things are changing at once.
• Adapting well to change is important in this day and age.
• Finding your true self means finding your light, your talent – and not denying it.
• You don’t have to follow the rules all the time if the rules don’t feel right to you and if you’re trying to discover your true self.
• No one can tell you what’s right for you — you have to discover that for yourself by listening to your inner promptings.
