In this third episode of a 5-part series on Awakening Your Authentic Self, we dive into our dreams to uncover the hidden messages our unconscious is trying to send to us. Our dreams reveal so much about our authentic selves, including our worries, anxieties, hopes, dreams, and the thoughts/feelings that we suppress during our wakeful state. Tune in to learn more about the physiological and psychological function of dreams. I’ll also give some tips on how to remember your dreams and decode some of the symbols that you may receive from your unconscious. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Practice Exercise (from Kathleen A. Brehony’s “Awakening at Midlife”):
After recording your dream in a journal, ask yourself these three questions:
Why did I have this dream now?
What issues in the dream are ones that I’m currently dealing with in my waking life?
What conscious attitude is being compensated for by the dream? Meaning what attitudes or feelings are you suppressing during your waking life that are coming up in your dreams.

Would you rather live your life being pushed by fear or pulled by love?
Just like you need to build strong muscles to lift heavy weights, you need strong mental muscles to tackle life’s challenges. In this episode, I discuss Positive Intelligence (PQ), a concept based on Shirzad Chamine’s best-selling book Positive Intelligence. With PQ, you can reach your highest potential and achieve long-lasting success while remaining in a mental state of peacefulness and happiness. Tune in to find out how Saboteurs are keeping you stuck in a negative mindset and limiting your potential. I’ll show you how you can shift your mind out of self-sabotage and activate your inner Sage.

In this second episode of a 5-part series on Awakening Your Authentic Self, I discuss how life acts as a mirror by reflecting important lessons and insights about our true selves. In this episode, I discuss how you can use this mirror process as a tool for more self-awareness and self-understanding. I give examples of how problems in our lives, especially in relationships, are the Universe’s way of getting our attention and alerting us to lessons we need to learn or wounds that need healing. When you understand that every problem in your life is an opportunity to learn something about yourself, you can then actively create an inner and an outer world that inspires and empowers you.

Practice Exercise (from Shakti Gawain’s “Living in the Light”):
Think of someone whom you judge or feel uncomfortable with. Try to figure out exactly what quality this person has that you dislike. Is it possible that this is a quality within yourself that you deny or judge, and that your life could be enhanced if you made peace with, and were able to express that part of yourself? For example, if you dislike someone who appears very selfish, that person maybe reflecting the disowned part of you that wants you to pay more attention to taking care of your own needs. Perhaps you are overly identified with taking care of others.

This week, I’m kicking off a 5-part series called: Awakening Your Authentic Self. Over the next five weeks, we’ll embark on a quest to know ourselves deeply and honestly as we strive toward wholeness.

In this first episode, I demystify Carl Jung’s concepts of The Persona and The Shadow. I discuss what “shadow work” is and why integrating into consciousness the parts of ourselves that we’ve repressed long ago is essential to our growth. I also offer starting points to help you begin shadow work.

In future episodes, we’ll look at how life serves as a mirror, what messages our dreams are sending us, ways to develop intuition, and how to have powerful transformations. Be sure to tune in, and don’t forget to rate and subscribe to this podcast. Thanks for your support!

What’s the one step that most people leave out after creating a vision board? In this episode, I discuss the power of visualization—a mental practice that’s crucial to achieving your goals. I define the difference between a vision statement and visualization, and I give examples of how visualization has been used by top athletes to achieve success. I also provide two highly effective visualization exercises that will help you manifest your goals and desires.
