Medistating: Living Life on Purpose Michael

Dr. Erin shares her story about how she came to choose to do what she loves and love what she does.   Erin has been my Doc for over a decade and has helped realign my body and my mind.  We talk about some very practical ways to reconnect with our bodies to lighten the load on our minds and bring about balance and a sense of peace.

This week it is simple.  I am asking for your help and a bit of grace.
I share my thoughts and ideas about an idea I heard on a podcast called Man Enough.  Compassion without Comprehension.   Their guest was a person named Alok.  Alok's idea about compassion without comprehension is simple and at the same time difficult.  You do not have to like someone or agree with someone or even respect them.  However, you do need to want them to be able to live a life free from violence and hate.
Help comes from you taking the time to listen to and then unlearn the biases and prejudices that you hold onto.  The grace I am asking for is about me stumbling through uncomfortable feelings, confusing thoughts and language that I am still striving to understand.

Look up Alok and the Man Enough podcast if you want to hear a conversation that goes deeper into the ideas around living in a world where we can have compassion without comprehension.

I met Annalisa through an online writing course that I was part of this past spring.  I am involved with writing a book and reached out to her to do a 1 hour consultation about what it takes to actually finish a book.    I will admit.... well I don't know what I will admit except that when I am ready to get serious and get my book finished and published, I will work with Annalisa.

Check her out at www.datewiththemuse.com if you have a book inside you that needs to be written.

Be well, be kind and remember to smile:)

I have been contemplating Thanksgiving for over a week now.  This episode is about that contemplation and the thoughts and feelings I have uncovered.  I share a little bit more of my story and how I am choosing to lead with the more intuitive heart centered part of myself.   One of my goals is to feel more and think less and when I do it leads me to a different place.  The place can be uncomfortable at first because I am not used to it but I know intuitively that it is better for me and will help me to live a life more in line with the one that I want.

Be well, be kind and remember to smile:)

Many of us feel like we could do more to help the people that are closest to us not to mention the community at large.  Gary is no different.  However, he is doing more regardless of his underlying belief that it isn't enough.

Gary's desire to be helpful was inspirational to me and that is why I reached out to him to share some of his story.  Gary reaches many people through his knowledge of solar power, however his big heart and focus on helping people live better lives is what they remember.

You can find Gary at solarbus.org and at longtrailsolar.com and on FB at solar seed project where he shares his work in Haiti!    

The dawn of a new day brings change with it each time.  Season 2 of Medistating: Living Life on Purpose brings growth and change as well.  As this podcast develops so does the feel of it and its direction.  There will still be some of the same aspects such as interviewing people that have great stories, sharing ideas and thoughts, humor and original music by ME.   Medistating will also include more episodes that question the words or phrases we use and how they may affect our goals of living the life we really want as well as interviews with individuals that have something to offer us.  My hope is that you will not only listen to find out what my next song will be but to gain information, skills and confidence to step into the world with more authenticity, peace and light.

Be well, be kind and remember to smile:)
