    What Is the Bhakti Path? How Spiritual Paths Use the Ego to Dissolve the Ego (EP68, 1/4)

    For more offerings: www.thegroundoflove.com. What if the spiritual path isn’t about thinking your way to a better belief, but about learning to love your way beyond the limits of the mind? In this first episode of a four-part series on the bhakti path, the devotional path of spiritual awakening, we start at the very beginning: what every spiritual tradition is actually trying to do. In this episode, you’ll explore: The one premise every spiritual path shares: we’re living through a warped lens of identity and reality, and that lens is what leads to sufferingThe difference between pain and suffering: why the meaning we layer on top of pain makes us hurt twiceWhy we cling to the familiar, even when it hurts, and why the unknown feels so scaryWhat divinity can mean when words like “God” or “faith” carry baggage from religion, including divinity as love, oneness, truth, and the undefinableTrust vs. faith: why trust is relational and emotional, and why walking the spiritual path requires faith in the divineHow past betrayal and abandonment show up in our spiritual practice, and why they make devotion difficult for so many peopleThis is a no-BS, heart-open starting point for anyone dedicated to spiritual growth, self-awareness, and walking the path of love. Come back for the next three episodes, where we dig into the traps, misunderstandings, and fake versions of the path, and what real devotion can open up for you. 🎧 Follow The Ground of Love for more on spiritual awakening, devotion, and being of service in the world.

    Life Transitions: How to Find Peace in the Liminal Space (Breakups, Career Change, Moving, etc) (EP67)

    Follow on IG @thegroundoflove. Feeling lost in a life transition? If you’re going through a divorce, breakup, job loss, career change, move, or empty nest and don’t know who you are anymore, this episode will help you find ground in the liminal space, the in-between where one chapter of life has ended and the next hasn’t begun. In this episode of The Ground of Love, Olivia Frazao explores life transitions through the metaphor of a hallway between two rooms. You can no longer see the life you left, and you can’t yet see the life you’re walking toward. It can feel like you’re in midair with nothing to stand on. But the hallway is a place too, and learning to inhabit it can become one of the most powerful times of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth. In this episode: How we don’t go from A to B, but from A to the in-between to BThe two reasons transitions feel so uncomfortableHow filling the blank space with distractions, busyness, or rebound relationships keeps us stuckA powerful thought experiment: who are you without the people and activities in life that define you?The difference between logistical safety and existential safetyCalling on imagination and self-inquiry to create a sense of ground in the unknownWhat a toddler’s song and a child’s slow walk home can teach us about presenceTaking off the winter coat: transition as invitation to self-discoveryReflection questions to journal on: Where in my life is there suddenly more blank space, and how does it feel?What am I filling that space with, and is it nourishing me or distracting me?Who did I think I had to be that I don’t have to be anymore?If I could imagine anything, what would I dare to dream, and what values does that dream point to?What would it feel like to treat this in-between time as a place worth inhabiting?This episode is for anyone navigating an identity shift or a season of not knowing what’s next, and for anyone ready to stop rushing down the hallway and discover who they are becoming. Transition can be a prime place for self-inquiry and spiritual awakening.

    How to Actually Let Go: Spiritual Surrender & Reclaiming Your True Power (EP66)

    For more offerings: www.thegroundoflove.com. How do you actually let go when “just let go” isn’t working? In this episode of The Ground of Love, Olivia Frazao explores a spiritual approach to letting go that doesn’t rely on force, but on surrender, faith, and reclaiming your power. Onwards and upwards! Most of us try to let go by pushing away what hurts: the breakup we can’t get over, the anxiety that makes us control everything, the old patterns we know don’t serve us. But when letting go feels like loss, part of us holds on. This episode looks at why that happens, and at a different way forward: letting go not by running away from something, but by moving toward who you truly are. In this episode: Why forcing yourself to let go can turn into spiritual bypassing or self-judgmentUsing parts work (IFS) to understand the part of you that isn’t ready to let goWhat your attachments might be protecting you from feelingHow letting go means releasing old identities and stories, not just painSurrendering personal will to divine will, and why that’s a gain, not a lossFinding your true self and opening to new possibilitiesHow to build the faith and courage to take a leap into the unknownWhether you’re healing from a relationship, releasing control and anxiety, or ready to step into your power, this episode offers a gentle, empowering path to moving forward.

    How to Set Boundaries: Stop People Pleasing Without Being Mean (2/2, EP65)

    Follow on Instagram: @thegroundoflove How to set boundaries and stop people pleasing without being mean, from a place of self-worth and spiritual truth. In Part 2 of this boundaries series, we look at the hidden traps of resentment, victim mentality, and aggression that keep people pleasers from their true power. Why do I feel so resentful? Why do I get angry or harsh when I finally say no? Why is it so hard to speak up for what I need? When we begin healing from people pleasing and fawning, we often swing from shrinking ourselves into blame, anger, or overcorrecting. This is part of the journey, and it isn't the destination. This episode explores how to let go of resentment, heal a victim mindset, and set healthy boundaries with calm, clear, loving communication, without waiting for anyone else to change first. In this episode on how to set boundaries: How to stop people pleasing without becoming aggressiveWhy resentment keeps us stuck in a victim mentality, and how to let it goHow fear of rejection and judgment makes boundaries come out harshHow to say no and ask for what you need from self-worth, not fearAssertive communication rooted in self-love and inner alignmentWhen to hold a boundary, when to have the hard conversation, and when to walk awayTrue power vs. false power: the spiritual foundation of healthy boundariesListen to Part 1: Episode 64, How to Set Boundaries: People Pleasing, Narcissism & Self-Worth Related episodes: Trauma and Resilience (Episodes 7–9), on embodiment, self-love, and reclaiming your power.

    How to Set Boundaries: People-Pleasing, Narcissism & Self-Worth (1/2, EP64)

    Follow on Instagram @thegroundoflove Struggling to set boundaries, say no, or speak up without people-pleasing? Or do you find yourself in relationships with narcissistic or controlling people? In Part 1 of this two-part series on boundaries, Olivia Frazao shares a simple spiritual map for understanding self-worth, power dynamics, and how to communicate your boundaries from your true center. We explore the difference between power over, power under, and power with: what happens when we fall out of alignment into the distorted feminine (people-pleasing, fawning, self-abandonment, feeling unworthy) or the distorted masculine (entitlement, control, lack of empathy, narcissism). You'll learn why healthy boundaries begin with your relationship to yourself, and how inherent worthiness lets you say yes and no clearly, without fighting, shrinking, or forcing. In this episode: The central channel: what alignment and being centered feel likePower over vs. power under vs. power with (perpetrator, victim, and the centered self)Why people-pleasers struggle to say no, and where unworthiness comes fromNarcissism as a blind spot in empathy, and how it silences othersThe difference between making a request and imposing an expectationInherent worthiness: the foundation for communicating boundaries with easeMentioned: Episode 63, on empathy, understanding other perspectives, and conflict resolution. Coming next: Part 2, on healing people-pleasing, the traps along the way, and stepping into your true power to communicate boundaries clearly.

    Conflict Resolution: Mapping Realities and Empathy (EP63)

    For private healing sessions and meditations visit www.thegroundoflove.com *** Conflict Resolution Isn't About Communication — It's About Your Map of Reality Most conflict resolution advice starts in the wrong place. In this episode of The Ground of Love, we go beneath communication techniques and non-violent communication scripts to the real root of every disagreement: two people operating from two completely different worldviews, each convinced they're standing on the same shared ground. Using the simple metaphor of two people looking at two different maps — one seeing the vast distance across the United States, the other seeing the much shorter span of the Iberian Peninsula — this episode illustrates why arguments spiral into judgment, hurt feelings, and "why are they being so weird?" confusion. The answer is almost never that someone is wrong. It's that nobody checked what map the other person was actually looking at. And it introduces a distinction most people never make: emotional empathy (feeling what someone feels) versus empathy of perspective (seeing what someone sees). You'll hear why feeling someone's sadness or anger isn't enough if you don't understand the worldview generating it — and why well-meaning advice so often falls flat when it's built on your reality instead of theirs. You'll learn how to: Spot when an argument is really a mismatch of unspoken premises, not a disagreement over factsStop taking other people's reactions personally by recognizing you're relating to their projection of you, not to youAsk the deeper questions — "What does this mean to you? What are you assuming?" — that get past behavior and conclusions to the actual rootHold equanimity and even compassion for people whose worldview leads them to act in ways that feel confusing or hurtfulBring genuine curiosity back into relationships, family dynamics, and hard conversationsWhether you're navigating tension with a partner, a family member, a friend, or a coworker, this episode offers a practical spiritual framework for conflict resolution, deep empathy, and authentic connection — one rooted not in who's right, but in finally seeing each other's maps. *** This podcast show is for people dedicated to spiritual awakening, spiritual practice, psychology, healing work, collective healing and awakening, and global positive social change.  To send me a message directly, click here www.thegroundoflove.com

    Visiting Sacred Sites: How to Connect with Sacred Spaces and Receive Their Spiritual Transmissions (EP62, 2/2)

    For one-on-one healing sessions and group membership, visit www.thegroundoflove.com. Part two of this sacred sites series moves from why we visit sacred places into how — how to enter with reverence, attune to the energy that lives there, and carry that transmission forward into your own healing and daily life.  What's Covered Setting a clean intention before you arrive — learning, healing, connection — held with the caveat "if it is in the highest and best for all"Pausing at the threshold to ground, breathe, and quiet the mind before stepping into the spaceAsking permission and attuning to the field, treating each site as a living consciousness with its own guardians and lineageHonoring the space and its caretakers — through a bow, an offering, a prayer, or simply an open heart — and acknowledging the seen and unseen beings who tend itSafety and discernment, including how to recognize an energetically "messy" space and the simple rule: when in doubt, get outThe three-step process of receiving transmission — attunement, energetic healing/alchemy, and integrating the frequency as a kind of spiritual "muscle memory"Leaving with gratitude, releasing what isn't yours, and resisting the urge to immediately flatten the experience into wordsStaying connected after you leave, since every sacred site is also a doorway to its non-physical essence that can be revisited through memory and feeling*** 20:56 - Q #1 - Connecting to Energies 24:58 - Q #2 Healing + Awareness 29:32 - Q #3 Energetic Imprint and Integration *** This episode is for anyone drawn to sacred travel, energy healing, conscious pilgrimage, or deepening a personal spiritual practice. Every sacred site, regardless of lineage or location, is a portal back to the same truth: oneness, love, and the heart. The greatest safety and the deepest connection are always found the same way — by walking through, and sitting within, every space in your own heart. *** This podcast show is for people dedicated to spiritual awakening, spiritual practice, psychology, healing work, collective healing and awakening, and global positive social change.
