The Art of Living Consciously Dannie Reeve

Episode #017:  In this episode we delve into the transformative process of fully feeling and expressing difficult emotions, in order to process grief and heal pain. As Arthur Janov wisely said: "Feeling is the antithesis of pain. The more pain one feels, the less pain one suffers." Today I unpack what that means and give you insights and tools to help you with your own process.

You'll learn:


Why feeling and emoting are feminine and masculine processes that complement each other.
Why you need to integrate both to fully heal.
Tools and strategies to help you to sit with your feelings and repressed emotions.
Tools and strategies to help you ease into the emoting process.

Resources mentioned in this episode are:

You also know that books have the power to touch you, move you, inspire you and transform you. They are a gift to this world!

Episode #013:  Do you sometimes find yourself thinking: Why me? Why is this happening to me? Do you look at people who have a seemingly easy life and wish you could swap places with them? Do you tend to avoid conflict? Let's face it, most of us have fallen into one or more of those categories at some point in our lives. That's why, this episode is here to remind you that you have much more say than you might think over the circumstances in your life and that embracing your pain to harness its lessons is, in fact, a sure way to lead a more fulfilling life.

You'll learn:


Why paying attention to your pain is an important part of your healing process. 
Why a life void of problems and hurdles is likely not to be a fulfilling one. 
The difference between an internal and external locus of control.
How a healthy internal locus of control can help you reframe your conflicts as valuable gifts. 
Simple questions and new tools to help you grow from your conflicts and see them as beneficial.

Episode #012:  Do you wonder why you keep running into the same kind of relationship issues? Are you keen on improving your current relationship? Or maybe you aren't in a relationship and want to learn better ways to show up for the next one? If so, this episode is the right choice for you. We look at romantic relationships as containers for growth, and how they can help you to find your SELF and become more emotionally savvy.  Quick disclaimer: I am no relationship expert. However, what I am very good at is helping people transform their own behavioural patterns, by understanding what they project in their partners. Therefore, my aim is not to give you any relationship advice, but rather to show you how you can read your mirror image and, therefore, improve the relationship that you have with yourself, and, in turn, the way you show up in your relationships. 

You'll learn:


What the purpose of a relationship is on a growth level.
Why opposites attract.
Why what attracts you to a person can potentially also end up drawing you away from them.
How to embrace your mirror image and its lessons.
Simple questions to help you reflect on what shadow aspects your partner is inviting you to integrate.
