The Healing Insight Podcast Peaceful Living

In this episode, Sarah and Jez discuss persistence and how, when you are looking at whether you need to persist with something or not, you need to listen to your heart and see if it feels right to persist. They look at the importance of desire for the outcome and to know that the end goal is achievable.
They suggest that is it important to set achievable objectives so that you can see positive progress being made. If positive progress isn't being made, then they suggest that you need to stop and ask yourself if it is the right thing to persist, or does something need to change for you to get the outcome you desire.
They also look at the persistence of direction and persistence of action and how important it is to ensure you are heading in the right direction and, if you are, that you persist with the actions needed to reach the desired outcome. 

In this episode, Sarah and Jez explore critical thinking and whether it is the polar opposite of working with your intuition. They look at how, when you are critically thinking, you are exploring a subject without bias to gain greater insight and understanding so helping you to find your own truth. This works best when you combine it with working with your intuition. 
If we are in our heads and questioning things, then we can easily talk ourselves out of something that, deep within us, we know is right for us and we will react to the feelings of fear rather than acknowledging those feelings and responding by putting an action plan in place. 
It is important to look at everything from a neutral place without judgment so that you can see that it just is. This way you can come to greater insight and understanding yourself. They remind you of the importance of going inward for answers as this is where you know will access the knowledge that you need. 

In this podcast Sarah and Jez explore whether we truly value ourselves and within that discussion look at how we often make comparisons that aren't like for like. They ask whether you recognise the value in a course, an experience etc., to be comfortable in investing in it, not just from a financial point of view but time and energy too. They suggest that if you are meant to do something the universe will find a way of bringing that something to you. They also feel that valuing yourself links to belief in yourself, and suggest that when you believe you are worth investing, in you are more likely to take care of yourself.
They look at the importance of having healthy boundaries in place and being happy with who you are. They suggest that, when we truly value ourselves, we are open to opportunities and will embrace them and the change that they bring so that we can continue to learn, grow and develop. 

In this session, Sarah and Jez explore what spirituality is and how it can mean different things to different people, as we are all at different places in our journey.  They suggest that spirituality relates to moving out of your head and into your heart so that you start to explore the meaning of life as it is to you.
They also suggest that your understanding of what spirituality is can change as you move along your path and come to a greater understanding of yourself. They also discuss how each person's viewpoint will be slightly different but not wrong, and will relate to how they experience the world. They also explore how questioning things is important, as long as it is for the right reasons as it will help you to gain clarity and insight into what resonates with you, as spirituality is an individual thing. 

In this episode, Sarah and Jez discuss what healing is looking at the importance of going inwards to come to a greater understanding of yourself and what makes you think, feel act the way you do. They discuss how we heal in many ways and that many forms of healing have been around for thousands of years. 
They suggest looking at ourselves holistically to come to an understanding of why we experience any symptoms we are experiencing, as symptoms are highlighting to us that something is wrong. They talk about how medicine has its place and how many more medical practitioners are becoming more open to alternative modalities.
They discuss the importance of understanding that we can heal ourselves and that healing is a journey not a quick fix as we are peeling away the layers of what we have pushed down and avoided addressing. They talk about the importance of forgiveness and when new are resentful, angry or upset with others we are actually hurting ourselves the most, and so when we heal we come to understand that we need to be more loving and nurturing of ourselves so that we can be more loving and kind to others.
They explore how healing always starts with yourself and how those people that irritate us the most are our greatest teachers. They remind us that we are not the disease or the symptoms we are experiencing symptoms because we need healing to bring body, mind and spirit back into balance.

In this episode, Sarah and Jez discuss how we have a tendency to compare ourselves to others which can lead us into a negative spiral of not feeling good enough. They remind us that we only see what people want us to see and that when we compare ourselves to others, we are essentially comparing the best of the other person with the worst of us. 
They suggest that it can be helpful to have someone/something to aspire to/inspire us as this helps our motivation to develop and progress, but when we compare ourselves to others we are not comparing ‘like for like’. If we aren't careful, we can end up looking for evidence to support the feeling that we aren't good enough. 
They also suggest that if we find ourselves comparing ourselves with others, we need to acknowledge what we are doing and then ask ourselves why we feel the need to do this. We also need to recognise that we always progress at the rate we need to and that we are always exactly where we need to be.
