The Change Room with Rod & Lesley TheChangeRoomwithRodandLesley

In this episode, Rod and Lesley talk more about reframing examples - this time exploring the interconnection between the mind - the brain - and the body.  You know when you are thinking about something, all of a sudden you starting seeing examples of it everywhere?  Well, this is what is happening with our podcast duo.  They share personal experience on how changing how you think about what is happening to you (in mind and body), changes how your mind and body react.  Slightly confused? When you listen, all will be revealed.

In this episode, Rod and Lesley come back to the topic of reframing and talk about how important it is.  Rod suggests that it is so powerful, the skill should be part of school curriculum (are you listening people who shape school curriculum!).  Lesley nicely ties it into how we can use reframing in our individual change journeys - take the perspective to think about what we should un-become, instead of what we should become.
"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place". Paulo Coelho.

In this episode, Lesley gets Rod's reaction to something she has been thinking about - giving ourselves some grace as we are trying to change, and find it isn't a straight path.
 

In this episode, Rod and Lesley bring in the powerful concept of reframing as they build on the previous episodes this season which talked about emotions and how the universe is all about change.  They consider the quantum theory concept we heard about the importance of movement, action, and becoming; in relation to expressing emotions.  If we have learned anything, the universe is better at describing things when they interact - and thus the message is, get better at allowing express emotions to be in an interaction state versus a static being state.  The reframing concept is so big that it will cover a couple of episodes as they move through the implications of perspective (or is it that the concept of reframing and perspective is moving through your trusted podcasters?)
 

In this episode, Rod and Lesley continue their discussion inspired by theoretical physicist Carol Rovelli (wiki bio).  The revelation is that the 'grammar of thinking about the world is change, not of permanence. Not of being but of becoming. The world is not a collection of things; it is a collection of events" (C Rovelli).  For these two podcasters about change, and helping people understand change - mind blow sound effect.  
Discussion ensues around coming to grips with the idea that the physics of the universe and time is aligned with human need to evolve and change.  
Production note - the audio is a little different this time due to Rod's recording studio.  You will also hear at times some sound interference, which is a dog licking the microphone - as they are want to do. 
 

In this episode, Rod and Lesley dive into the realm of quantum physics and seek to understand the concept of time. Yes, this does relate to understanding change.  Rod and Lesley are reading/listening to a book by Carlo Rovelli called 'The Order of Time'. Carlo is a 'specialist in quantum gravity theory' and does a good job of explaining some big brain ideas (via a translation from Italian).  
You can hear in this discussion that our two fearless podcasters are cautiously relating an introductory understand and exploring their interpretations as they make sense of the concepts.
This will be a multi part series as there is much to get through.  It is deep stuff but ultimately important to help us understand how we experience change.
