    Tales of Recovery-Your Cosmic Being and the consequences of ignoring your potential.

    Tales of Recovery-Your Cosmic Being and the consequences of ignoring your potential.

    It is possible to posses the potential for higher consciousness and still turn your back on it, it is the easiest thing in the world to remain ignorant of yourself as a Cosmic Being. 
     
    Here's how you do it: 
    Think the same as everyone else. 
    Follow old habits and conditioning. 
    Accept society's collective beliefs.
    Conform in order to remain "safe".
    Cling to your story as your identity.
    Protect your self image. 
    Look our for # 1.  
    From Deepak Chopra's book Quantum Body. 
     
    The quote I mention in this episode: 
    "Remember how long you've been putting this off, how many extenssions the gods gave you, and you didn't use them. 
    At some point you have to recognize what world it is that you belong to; what power rules it and from what source you spring; that there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don't use it to free yourself it will be goine and will never return."

    Tales of Recovery with Guest Phileena Nikole

    Tales of Recovery with Guest Phileena Nikole

    Phileena Nikole (formerly Phileena Heurtz)  is our guest on this episode of the Tales of Recovery Podcast. 
    I am forever grateful for Phileena, who is also an author, teacher, spiritual director, retreat guide and trauma informed yoga instructor. She has been INSTRUMENTAL in my unraveling from religious beliefs and with the utmost compassion I have ever encountered. 
    I met her many many years ago when some dear friends of mine recommended her as a spiritual director.  I had read her first book and reached out for what turned out to be a year of incredible transformation and liberation of my heart. 
    As we chat about here on the podcast,  Phileena helped me move from the prison of religious belief systems to the REMEMBERING of who I am and coming into contact with my inner intuition, and a she calls it, "my Inner Knowing". 
    Phileena shares with us her own unraveling with religion, through contemplative practices and a somatic approach as she explains how the body has a way of alerting us when something is just not working out.   Our conversation includes talking about what it is to have a teaching/learning experience vs a lived reality and how listening to your body is key in this journey of Spirituality. 
    You can find Phileena on IG as @phileena and on her webpage www.phileena.com
    Phileena’s discerning guidance has been featured by Center for Action and Contemplation’s Conspire, Sojourner’s Summit, Q Ideas, The Work of the People, Catalyst, Immerse, Darkwood Brew and more.
    She is also the author of Pilgrimage of a Soul, a provocative theological narrative set along the Camino de Santiago, and Mindful Silence, a vulnerable exploration of the Christian contemplative tradition.
     
     
    She does live up in the mountains of New Mexico, so we had a tiny bit of technical issues but I edited it the best I could and I appreciate your patience with this because this recording is just TOO good to be true :) 
     
    Grab your cup of tea and listen in ~ May this podcast be helpful on your journey to your True Self. 
     
    With much Love, 
    Gris

    Recuperando la Vida con Carina Luz Valladolid

    Recuperando la Vida con Carina Luz Valladolid

    Hoy nos acompaña Carina Luz Valladolid para platicar de la idea del "Proposito de Vida" que tanto nos venden, a comparación a la realidad que vamos descubriendo como seres en momentos de crisis, (crecimiento) y despertar. 
    Agarren su cafecito, te y las invitamos a esta conversación de risas y netas hoy en Recuperando la Vida. Gracias por escuchar y compartir. 
    Aqui les dejo el dicho que nos compartió Carina: 
    Si estás aquí con la iluminación como meta, no puedes estar aquí. Físicamente puede parecer que estás aquí, pero no puedes estar conmigo: la meta está en el futuro, yo estoy aquí, y la mente que está orientada a metas Es probable que sea en el futuro, nunca nos encontraremos, sé que estás aquí para obtener algo, es por eso que te lo estás perdiendo, estoy aquí para perseguirte y que abandones la idea de lograr cualquier cosa. Si abandonas esta mente orientada a objetivos, estarás iluminado. La iluminación no es una búsqueda, es una realización, no es una meta, es la naturaleza misma de la vida misma.

    Tales of Recovery ~ My Dad's last month of Life.

    After an unexpected finding of an aggressive brain tumor, my 88 year old father was told he had a few months or less to live. 
    Here is the story of our experience together, a last family trip to Cabo to visit his best friend since high school, the intense and beautiful goodbyes, and the gratitude that being prepared for and so close to death can bring.

    Tales of Recovery with guests Marcela and Carina Luz Valladolid

    Tales of Recovery with guests Marcela and Carina Luz Valladolid

    On this episode of the Tales of Recovery podcast, I sit down with Marcela and Carina Valladolid to have a conversation about the profound responsibility, power and magic of healing modalities such as psychedelics, breath-work, and meditation. 
    Join our conversation as we share not just some of our own mind-bending, heart opening experiences, but also the crucial aspect of aftercare and the transformative work that follows. 
    From integrating profound insights to navigating challenging emotions,  the mysterious re-wiring that happens in the brain that allows our conscious and subconscious desires (like quitting drinking alcohol among others) to manifest.  
    In this hour we barely touched the tip of the iceberg, so listen in and we will continue to bring more of these important conversations and information your way. 
    Our hope is that this podcast may be beneficial to your healing journey~
    Here are the links we spoke about on the show:

Thank you for helping me awaken

I found Gris through Chef Marcela and couldn’t be more grateful! As women we are more than what society or culture tells us what we should be. So many revelations listening to this
Podcast and have had many moments of taking my power back. Thank you Gris for being authentically you!

Tales of Recovery

Gris has an uncanny way of shining the light of truth where we might be afraid to look. This is about so much more than addiction recovery! It is about recovery from the lies and negative messages we have absorbed along life’s path and learning to embrace the beauty that who you are today is enough. Listen. Learn Grow. You won’t regret it.

Insightful and Eye Opening

Gris has an incredible way of making you feel like a friend through this podcast as she is so real and so raw about the process of deconstruction of organizations that keep you limited in mind, body, and soul. I am honestly grateful for this podcast because it’s helping me on my journey to rediscovery and spiritual growth. Her stories and words resonate with me and send out so much love that is palpable and greatly needed. Trust me! You will fall in love once you hear the first episode!
