    Glenn Younger - Connecting with Her Divine Soul (interview)

    Glenn Younger - Connecting with Her Divine Soul (interview)

    Glenn had been on a spiritual path for a long time.  She started meditating in college with her roommate.  She studied with amazing teachers, learning to trust her intuition more and more.

     

    She found herself letting go over and over again.  She let go of control and listened more to her inner guidance.  She let go of her fears and limitations.  During one particular meditation, she let go of everything and met her Divine Soul.  

     

    It had a profound effect on her inner and outer life.  Inwardly, she experienced a deep love and connection beyond anything she had known before.  Outwardly, she travelled the world and became a spiritual teacher.  

     

    Listen to Glenn’s story of what this process has been like for her, what shifted because of that connection to her Divine Soul, and how she is now helping other people connect to their Divine Souls.

    In this interview, Glenn shares:


    her experience seeing the world in its divine light form



    the question she asks herself to see if something is right for her



    her process to release her blocks



    the moment she met her Divine Soul



    how her life has shifted because of that meeting



    how she is helping other people connect to their Divine Souls

    Toni Fraser Brennand - Meditation Before, During and After Pregnancy (interview)

    Toni Fraser Brennand - Meditation Before, During and After Pregnancy (interview)

    Toni just kind of fell into meditating. Her husband had learned to meditate and his teacher offered to teach Toni, too.  The benefits were fast, clear and almost too good to be true.  

     

    She continued to study, and soon became a teacher as did her husband. Her whole life shifted in many amazing ways.  And when she got pregnant, meditation became a natural support both for her and her baby.

     

    Toni now teaches this meditation technique to pregnant women.  It helps them bond with their baby during pregnancy.  It can be used during labor and delivery.  Even more, it provides a valuable aid to adjusting to life as a new parent.

     

    Listen to Toni’s story of what this practice has been like for her, how her practice has helped her as a new mother, and how anyone can benefit from this practice.

     

    In this interview, Toni shares:


    the benefits she found from this meditation practice



    what happens when she tries to meditate during her son’s naptime



    how this practice helped her during her labor, delivery and recovery



    the trust she found in her own mothering instincts from doing this practice



    how she uses this practice on days when she hasn’t gotten much sleep



    why she teaches it’s about getting out of the way and letting the practice do its work

    Nicole Liloia - Exploring the Many Forms of Journaling (interview)

    Nicole Liloia - Exploring the Many Forms of Journaling (interview)

    Nicole Liloia was given a beautiful travel journal just before a two month trip to Venezuela.  She had just quit a stressful job, and it gave her a chance to step back and reassess her life.

     

    She didn’t continue journaling at home, but picked up the habit again a few years later.  She started with simple things - tracking new habits she wanted to develop and noticing meaningful moments in her day. Journaling helped her keep to her new habits, and made her more aware of all the good things in her life.

     

    She developed a daily writing habit, and continued to explore different possibilities for her journaling.  Sometimes she came up with ideas she wanted to share in her business.  Sometimes she wrote mantras over and over again.  Sometimes she used journaling prompts to dive deeper and see aspects of her life she had been avoiding.  

     

    Listen to Nicole’s story of all the ways she has explored journaling, the many benefits she has seen from her practice, and her best advice to start a journaling practice of your own.

     

    In this interview, Nicole shares:


    her favorite website to help you develop a daily journaling practice



    why she doesn’t have a particular structure for her journaling practice



    why she created her book of journaling prompts and what she got out of doing the process for herself



    why it’s good to feel uncomfortable when you are journaling sometimes



    how journaling has helped her build her business and changed her life



    how journaling supported her during a monthlong trip to Costa Rica

    Alex Mill - From Zen Monk to Zen Life Coach (interview)

    Alex Mill - From Zen Monk to Zen Life Coach (interview)

    Alex followed his girlfriend and her friend into a new age bookstore (someplace he wouldn’t normally be caught dead in).  He felt called to pick up a book on Zen Buddhism and start reading.  He was amazed.  

     

    The author was talking about all the things he was dealing with in his life.  He thought he had it all (the job, the apartment, the girlfriend), but he was still unhappy.  He knew he needed more of this information, so he started to study and meditate.

     

    Eventually he entered a Zen monastery.  He settled into the routine there, meditating, studying and running retreats with the other monks. After nearly 14 years, he felt pulled to leave the monastery and start a business so he could share what he had learned with a larger audience.  

     

    Listen to Alex’s story of how he became a monk, what he learned from the experience and how he is sharing that wisdom through his Zen life coaching business.

    In this interview, Alex shares:


    the moment he first connected to Zen Buddhism



    why paying for life coaching is such an important part of the process.



    the value of making and keeping commitments to yourself and others



    what his personal practice looks like now that he is out of the monastery



    his advice for how long to start meditating



    the app he uses to help him stay mindful when he’s on the computer



    the more relatable word he prefers for the classic Buddhist term “suffering”



    his best advice to start a daily practice



    how he compares meditating to changing a poopy diaper
