It seems the deeper we go into our beingness, the more challenging it becomes to actually talk about God with any level of conviction, knowing how ephemeral words can be in attempting to illuminate the absolute.  To be honest, the deeper I fall into my own stillness, the less I feel compelled to talk about it. After all, how can we clearly point to that which has no defined and conclusive destination.  Of course, that doesn’t mean to lay down our spiritual tools and give up the search altogether. Perhaps a better more productive way of approaching this path, is to renounce the idea of their being a teacher responsible for taking us there. After all, a teacher can only speak from their experience, which ultimately isn’t your experience.   However, this understanding can be a great equalizer in the realm of enlightenment because it shows us that we are all capable of arriving to the same destination, though through different means of exploration.  The beautiful thing about the spiritual journey is how it allows us to gain insight from each other.  Though, not as teachers, but as explorers on the quest for truth.  An honest seeker isn’t looking for instructions to follow. They aren’t looking for methods to borrow of someone else’s experience.  What a seeker searches for, is a light to help illuminate their path. Ultimately, once it’s lit, it is their responsibility to carry on walking.  Fundamentally, that is the responsibility we have as a community. To walk each other home.  My goal for Divine Nobodies in 2024, is to create a space where we can transcend the linear and predictable paths of “how to’s”, and instead create a space where we can reflect on the more experiential qualities in life.  After all, that is where we place our spirituality into practice.   In this episode I reflect on my current motivation with Divine Nobodies, and the future ahead for the podcast.   Renouncing linear teachings No beginning or end to source The meaningless mantra No student or guru Beware of fake gurus Spirituality cannot be bought My journey Divine Nobodies 2024   Watch additional videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@divinenobodiespodcast6764   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

The benefits of meditation most certainly can’t be under estimated.  It is one of the most potent tools we have in grounding a busy mind and calming the restless thoughts that we carry with us in life.  It is estimated that 2 - 500 million people meditate around the world, and its popularity continues to grow as we fall deeper into the Kali Yuga era of time, where it seems imperative that we find strategies to cope with the often unforgiving consequences of our continued descent into the collective shadow.  One thing is definitely certain; meditation helps many and has the potential to juristically alter the way in which we perceive the world outside; that is of course, if we are doing it correctly.   Just as with anything, the more popular something becomes, the more of a tendency we have to trivialize the sanctity of sacred practices like meditation, and a few hundred meditation apps later, we have a global industry worth an estimated 522.21 million and no shortage of instructional content there to guide us on our journey.  It can be difficult to witness how much of a spectacle its become.  It can be even more difficult to witness so many organizations using meditation as a way to sell products or promote services. And while we certainly can’t limit the momentum of this machine, what we can do is ensure that we understand the most important elements of this practice as to not lose site of the sacred principles that exists within meditation.    Although I may sound a bit cynical when speaking of our western societies proclivity towards culturally appropriating eastern spiritual practices for their own benefit; it’s with good reason.  Much of what true meditation teaches us seems to work in direct contradiction to how our western society approaches the practice all together.  Instead of leaning into the simplicity of eastern stillness, they lean more into the complexity of western mind, which contributes to more of the same confusion around meditation.   The truth is, there is nothing complex or complicated about meditation. In fact, it’s so simple that we often have difficulty accepting the simplicity of it. Hence our need to seek results that can somehow improve our lives both emotionally and monetarily.  Otherwise, perhaps it’s not worth our time and effort.   It can be difficult to sell something simple, but it can be quite lucrative if our goal is to sell a lifestyle aimed at wellness.  That isn’t to say that meditation won’t improve your life. It certainly can.  But the most potent aspect of the practice isn’t about how peaceful meditation can make you.  It’s more about relearning something that should already come across as second nature to you. More than anything, the practice is about awakening this dormant energy in us so that we no longer need apps, programs, courses and books to show us what we already know.  In this way, we can live life in meditation and not just commit to 20 minutes or so on a Thursday morning. Instead of practicing meditation, we become meditative.   In any case, whether meditation is a simple practice for you, or whether its part of a carefully curated lifestyle that you live, we can all benefit from understanding meditation in a way that can add a beautiful quality to our lives.  The best place to start is by investigating ourselves, how we think, what we believe and the expectations we approach this practice with. Join me as we explore this practice together.   In this episode I discuss,     Adyashanti’s Perspective On Meditation The Singular Approach Of The Seeker How Expectations Eclipse Our Ability To See Clearly What We Get Wrong About Meditation Investigating The Ego The Nature Of Awareness How To Shift Our Perception In Meditation Silence Is Not The Absence Of Sound The Nature Of Acceptance And Surrender     Watch Full Video Episodes On YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrvbyvD7Tou6IQO_lL_LewQ   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

The connection between codependency and relationships is something I’ve contemplated for many years. Primarily due to my own experience in relationships being a codependent in the past, but also being a significant other to many codependent partners. If you’ve ever had the unique opportunity to be either of these individuals, than you know how heartbreaking it can be to love someone to the extent that you lose yourself in the relationship, or love someone so wounded that they have an inability love you in a healthy way.  At this time in our world, it doesn’t seem too far of a stretch to conclude that we live in a wildly codependent society, not just in relationships to people, but in our inward striving towards pleasure, fame and the perpetual need for a constant distraction to pull us away from our own deep spiritual inquiry.    While the pursuit of happiness does appear to be a normalized part of our culture, we seldom explore the deeper implications of where these needs arise from. Of course, there are healthy pursuits driven by the most powerful elements of self love, though what happens when our striving for happiness comes from the shadows of our own personal trauma?  It’s a difficult question to explore, and an even difficult quality to identify in ourselves. Though, one thing we can all relate to on our journey, is the need for love.    Whether a child or an adult, we all have a natural affinity towards connection with our external environment.  While a child seeks the love of their parent, an adult seeks the love of a friend or partner, and so the need for a healthy symbiosis between them seems imperative to live a meaningful and happy life.  Though, what happens when our most basic human needs aren’t met when we’re young, and how does this influence the ways in which we seek love as we get older? Without positive and healthy role models to teach us about healthy love, it seems we become vulnerable to many things that prevent us from finding this healthy connection with others.    As we get older we may find ourselves in emotionally/physically abusive relationships where we’re unconsciously reliving the traumas of our childhood, expecting to receive love from people that have an inability to love us in a healthy, consistent and balanced way. We may find ourselves seeking their approval and receiving constant rejection instead. The blow this instability causes to our self esteem can’t be under estimated. Especially since toxic relationships appear more normalized in our culture today. Of course, the most practical approach would be to distance ourselves from these types of partners, however many of us find it difficult to detach from the intermittent reinforcement we receive from unstable partnerships, and there are several reasons for this.   In this episode I will explore the question of why we continue to pursue toxic partners, by exploring my own personal experiences growing up as a child and how my upbringing influenced the types of relationships I brought into my life as an adult.   In this episode I discuss,   How Childhood Trauma Effects Our Perception Of Love The Role Of Disassociation In Trauma Why We Romanticize Unhealthy Relationships Codependents And Narcissists Love As A Means Of Escape Why Toxic Partners Can’t Love Us How To Break The Cycle Of Abusive Relationships   Watch Full Video Episodes On YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrvbyvD7Tou6IQO_lL_LewQ   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

There are many elements built into the foundation of the spiritual journey that seem to slowly unravel over time.  Quickly we learn how imperative it is that we understand, not only the eternal nature of spirit, but the inner workings of how the mind and body are interwoven into the new age phenomenon we all know as spiritual evolution.  Often it’s the mystical things that draw our attention first. Spontaneous moments of unadulterated bliss and the idea of a sleeping serpent known as the kundalini laying dormant in our bodies, just waiting to shoot our egos out of a cannon directly into the unknown. I mean who wouldn’t want to be happy all the time without the patronizing watchtower of organized religion taking all the credit for it. Seeking our own inward wisdom is certainly a far cry from the western programming of dogmatic christianity we’ve all grown up with.  Perhaps the most profound aspect of eastern spirituality is that it allows us the opportunity to grow independent of the ephemeral father figure we all know as the christian God; and with this newfound freedom to evolve in a way that is comfortable for us, it can be really exciting to touch on the sacred teachings of Hinduism or Buddhism.    One of the most common teachings we come across on our journey is that of the Chakras; and as popular as this system of spirituality tends to be, it can also be one of the most ambiguous.  People tend to approach the system of chakras one of two ways. One, tends to be used as a diagnostic tool to help us determine what areas of life we need to focus our energy on. The other, is in understanding the chakra system as a fundamental blue print of a spirits journey in this life. Both schools of thought are collectively true, though too often we can get caught up in using the chakra system in a trivial way that denotes a more superficial desire to control various elements of our lives; and if we aren’t careful, we can become overly identified with the egos game of diagnosing energetic blocks in our chakras, and end up tirelessly trying to resolve ourselves of these blocks.  It can become a vicious cycle.   In episode, I want to introduce the chakras in a way that may be a bit more foundational than just 7 energetic spheres we all know as the root, sacral, solar, heart, throat, third eye, crown and their symbolic attributes.    In this episode, I discuss,   The Nature and Meaning of The 7 Chakras Ego vs. Spirits Interpretation of The 7 Chakras A Diagnostic Tool or a Spiritual Roadmap?

I’ve met many healers along my path in spirituality. Many in which reside within this extended family of practitioners attempting to bring a bit more softness, love and healing into our shared communities. In Los Angeles, it’s not uncommon for us to collaborate on workshops and healing events together, and in doing so cultivate lasting friendships with those we can share our journeys with. I met Shannon several years ago during a time in which sound bath events were quickly gaining momentum, and amongst this evolution, lasting friendships were formed around the mission of bringing sound healing into the lives of anyone open to receiving it.    The beautiful thing about sound healing is that every practitioner brings their own unique set of gifts and talents to it, and because of this, opens the door to an infinite well spring of knowledge and wisdom we can learn from each other. Shannon has always been a part of that community, and thus a part of my journey as well.   Shannon has always been a pure, soft and yet powerful presence in the community and in my life.  She has a passion for helping others in a way that is truly inspirational and can be seen in how adept she is in learning and growing as a healer.  Not only is she a sound healer, but is also a yoga teacher, Reiki master and an Ayurvedic practitioner with the edge of being able to facilitate her practice in hospital settings around California.   In this episode, we dive deep into the realms of her practice and get a bit more familiar with the eastern system of medicine called Ayurveda.   In this episode we discuss,   Our Sound Bath’s at Bhakti Fest Navigating The Pandemic As  A Healer What Is Sound Healing?

It’s surreal to think that it’s been three years since the pandemic started. It’s even more disorienting to reminisce about how different the world was than in contrast to now; and although many have collectively adjusted to the changes in daily life, one thing is definitely certain; the pandemic changed the way in which we see the world and how we see ourselves.  Whether these changes came as a result of losing someone we loved, falling ill from the virus, or feeling through all of the unexpected changes in the way that we lived life, it seems that we were all collectively faced with the reckoning of a type of dark night of the soul experience…at a global level. Almost overnight, the many conveniences and societal norms we had grown accustomed to co existing with were no longer available to us. And while I won’t list all the ways in which we were negatively impacted, what seemed absolutely clear from the spiritual perspective, is that many of us were grieving the loss of certain parts of ourselves that we weren’t prepared to let go ; at least in the beginning. One of the greatest teachings of the pandemic was helping to illuminate how dependent we were on the world outside.  It showed us how strongly we identified with certain roles and images we had in society and how reliant we were on maintaining these images and roles we played. And as challenging of a situation it was,  It allowed us a deeply profound  and rare opportunity to sit with ourselves and re evaluate how we had been living our lives.  It allowed us the ability to re evaluate how we see ourselves, how we see relationships, how we see others and how we see the world.  Of course, not everyone took this opportunity.  Though for many, it became one of the most powerful catalysts for spiritual awakening. Often when we think of awakening, we conjure up expectations filled with fluffy new age ideas and beliefs.  Though, enlightenment is much more subtle than momentary experiences of divine insight or blissful moments. We find that it’s not so much about experiences, but experience itself. We find that it has more to do with subtraction and less to do with addition.  It’s reminiscent of the conversation between Willy Wonka and Charlie Bucket at the end of the movie where grandpa Joe asks “When does Charlie get the lifetime supply of chocolate?" and Willy  Wonka says “You get nothing…..you lose!" This may sound like a bad deal to some, though let’s not forget, Charlie ended up being awarded the entire chocolate factory! It’s kind of like that! Though in enlightenment, what we lose is our identification with form, and as a result, gain the entire universe! In this episode, I reflect on my thoughts about the pandemic and the journey we all go through in becoming a person.  I'll discuss,   My Recent Interaction With A Family Physician Reflections On The Pandemic How Society Changed During The Pandemic The Collective Dark Night Of The Soul Dissolving The Roles & Images Of Ego The Journey In Becoming A Person The Journey Back Home To The Heart Returning To Innocence My Experience Working In Elderly Care   Watch Full Video Episodes On YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrvbyvD7Tou6IQO_lL_LewQ   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

I’ve always had an affinity to quiet spaces in nature. Of course many people do, and for their own reasons. Though, have you ever felt the presence of a quiet space without the many distractions that tend to keep our attention bound to certain stories we have circulating in the mind at all times?  Many people love being in nature for the simple fact that it provides us with a certain type of perspective. Typically the perspective is that of escaping the clutches of a chaotic world which provokes feelings of anxiety in us. We hear that often right, “I love nature because it allows me to escape the static and noise of my job, my life, or my career”. Though we seldom contemplate whether escaping is the most constructive thing we can do in nature. The truth is, we can escape, though only for short periods of time until we have to return to the chaos and slowly assimilate into the person we were before. And although there seems to great peace in temporarily escaping the burdens in life, we are seldom concerned with the temporary respite as long as we have those few moments to pretend that everything is ok. Though, what If there was another way for us to experience nature that wasn't wrapped up in stories we have about what it is, how it should feel and what it means for us to be there? What if there was another way for us to experience the vastness of this space we call life? This episode is about the art of truly experiencing life "as it is", and not as "we are".   In this episode I discuss,   Finding Peace And Solitude In An Electric Motorcycle The Various Ways In Which Ego Experiences Nature Nature : The Ultimate Training Ground For Awareness How Ego Is Influenced By Its Environment Our Partial Commitment To Meditation Seeing vs. One Who Sees Experiencing The Unknowable Realms Of The Infinite The Art of Seeing Things As They Are The Voice Of Ego In Nature   Watch Full Video Episodes On YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrvbyvD7Tou6IQO_lL_LewQ   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

Have you ever tried to invoke a feeling of love in something you knew in your heart you didn’t feel love for? Though, despite the conviction you’d feel over this absence of feeling, you’d still push forward in expressing a type of love that felt true to others, but not at all true to yourself. I’ve always found it fascinating how we tend to embody two polar opposite and contradictory sides of ourselves at all times. We can keep friends we secretively despise, yet on the surface behave in such a way that implied how much we truly care about them at the same time. We can tell our partners how truly happy we are with them while at the same time longing for the touch of another person. Of course, when we reflect on this quality of behavior in others, it’s easy for us to access a type of moral compass and judge this as irrational and perhaps even erratic behavior. The part we often overlook is how we unconsciously buy into this same form of neurosis in how we live our lives. It’s fairly easy for humans to notice these patterns in others because we live in a society that appears to normalize this system of projection towards others, but avoidance of self at the same time.  The truth is, we all do it. Some of it can be innocent, but often times it’s a system we’ve designed to protect us from being hurt or feeling pain both inwardly and outwardly. There seems to be too much of a risk in committing to the vulnerability of our own authenticity, that we would rather fabricate an identity that is often nothing like who we actually are inside.  Thus the ego is born. At this point, you’ve probably gathered how passionate I am about illuminating the inner workings of the ego. I’ve spent years in the spiritual community hearing all about why we should eradicate it from our lives, though I would rarely hear about how it actually works. I would rarely hear about the ways in which it influences our inner world.  It’s a complex journey to understand for sure, though it may be the most important journey to explore if the hope is to develop a different relationship to it. Perhaps if we committed to understanding the inner workings of ego, we’d then realize how impossible it is to eradicate it from our lives. This episode is a reflection on the journey in understanding what many people consider the enemy; the ego.    In this episode I discuss,   The Realm Of Artificial Intelligence Humanities Fear Of Experiencing God The Many Faces of Ego Ego vs. Spirit How Ego Obscures The Heart Believing What We Don’t Really Feel How Surrender Leads To Awakening The Illusion Of Self Improvement The Distraction Of Belief The YOU That Doesn’t Exist   Watch Full Video Episodes On YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrvbyvD7Tou6IQO_lL_LewQ   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

At the beginning of every spiritual journey, we often approach the idea of enlightenment with magical thinking. Our understanding of the process starts off as a type of grandiose experience only meant to be encountered by the most dedicated of sages.  When we think of enlightenment, we think of the Sri Ramana Maharshi’s, the Sidddhartha Gautama’s and the Paramahansa Yogananda’s of the world.  Typically they’re stories we read in any number of spiritual self help books.  Theres a certain mystical quality to the idea of a spiritual awakening that grabs our attention. We hear stories of transcendent experiences  often sharing a close resemblance to the most psychedelic of experiences we’ve had. Though, spiritual awakening is far more profound than one single moment of pure bliss. One thing we learn along our path is how deeply personal and subjective many of these experiences can be. With good reason of course. It would be silly to limit the vastness of God to one linear moment of transcendence. Perhaps this is the most beautiful thing about spiritual awakening. It can come as both an explosion and a subtle spark from within. It can come quietly when you least expect it or it can come like an avalanche we see drifting towards us in the distance. However your awakening graces you in your life, one thing is certain ; It does something to our spirit that calls for us to rethink our role in the whole game we’ve been playing. Spiritual awakening is a beautifully chaotic process of unfolding, however the most profound and lasting impact it makes on our life falls within the realm of our relationships and how they change through the process. As bittersweet as it may be to let go of parts of ourselves in the process. A part of that letting go also means letting go of those in our life we no longer feel in resonance with.  In this episode, we discuss how spiritual awakening alters our life and the people in it.   In this episode we discuss,   Jenn’s Trip To Burning Man What is Enlightenment?

I get it, what's not to like or admire about affirmations, especially positive ones. I mean, why wouldn't we want to keep such a positive voice nearby in the instance that we fall short on any given day?  Especially when he have big dreams of living an abundant life full of love, joy and all the things these self help gurus say is possible when we begin believing in our own power to manifest the life we desire.  And while the practice of incorporating positive affirmations into our every day life does come with many noticeable benefits, it's important to not lose sight of the reasons we need them in the first place. Not using affirmations as a way to trick us into believing something we don’t fundamentally feel might be the best place to start.    Join me in this solo cast as I take a deep introspective look at whether positive affirmations work, and whether we can use them in a way that is genuine, sincere and true to the person that we are.    In this episode I discuss,   - What are affirmations? - How affirmations are used? - Do affirmations work? - How Ego & Self See Affirmations? - Affirmations & Narcissism - Truth vs Belief - The Truth About Affirmations     Watch Full Video Episode On YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY5lJmQKsCg   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

It’s always such a blessing to share space with thought leaders and light workers who carry a type of unfettered charisma for their practice. It places the energetics of the spiritual journey into a clear focus and allows us to get lost in the passion someone shares for love, life, magic, mysticism and healing.  That's certainly one thing “and there are many” things we absolutely loved about our guest Candice Rebollo. There are many seekers/teachers on this path that share a mutual passion for their work. Though Candice had the charisma and drive of a sage embarking on a journey to change the world.  Speaking to us from the calm and tranquil region of Tulum Mexico, she shares her journey as a medium, a healer and a light worker on the quest to help up illuminate the often hidden strengths we carry underneath our own traumas.  Join us as we explore the deepest realms of spirituality from the perspective of a true medicine woman.    In this episode we discuss,   Candice's Journey Into Mediumship The Dynamics of A Mediumship Ego vs Psychic Messages  Children & Mediumship Tap Into Your Own Psychic Gifts Psychic Animal Communication The Difference Between Cats & Dogs Overcoming Issues Of Self Worth Overcoming The Fear Of Being Seen The Art Of Breath-Work Becoming A Clear Channel  The Practice Of Abundance Types Of Spirits In The Psychic Realm Guest Bio : Candice Rebollo is a Woman’s Abundance Seer & Certified Psychic Medium.

Our mind is a phenomenal tool when used correctly.  Though, our interpretation of what we consider “correct” can vary depending on societal norms, cultural institutions and popular culture. Much of what we are taught about how to use our mind rests in our societies continued efforts in indoctrinating  its people to be contributing members to society through means of materialistic intelligence. It’s no surprise then that we develop such a complex yet hard-nosed  system of beliefs about how to efficiently operate in society. I mean, it’s quite literally programmed into our hardware at the start of this 3 dimensional video game we’ve all been playing.     At a certain point in our spiritual journey we realize that we came to the door of awareness with a mind hardwired to believe the things it tells itself.  When the spirit works so intimately close to an ego at such a young age, we can easily fall into a very innocent trap of mistaking our divinity with the random circumstances that happen in life that bring about feelings of happiness or pain .  One symptom of this misunderstanding rests within how we communicate with ourselves and the beliefs we hold as a result of the happiness we encounter or the suffering that we impose on ourselves.   The mind is a phenomenal tool when used for means of survival, though it does have a tendency to grasp at beliefs in an effort to organize a type of image for us to find security in.  When we look deep enough, we find that much of what we tell ourselves about life is limited to how we feel about it, and this feeling is largely dependent on external forces not always within our control.  When life is going well, we formulate an inward narrative that communicates that we are happy.  Yet, when life isn’t going well, we initiate entirely different narratives that communicate worst case scenarios for ourselves. Ironically, these negative impulses are the messages ego tends tends to grasp onto the most, and it is because of this, we tend to lead ourselves down a very arduous path of chaotic emotional turmoil that we usually define as “suffering”.   In this episode I explore this idea we have of suffering, and whether or not it is hardwired into existence as an inevitable fact. Or whether suffering exists as a conceptual belief that we’ve all just accepted as a part of our experience.    In this episode I discuss,    The Illusory Truth Effect  What is Suffering?

There are so many things we are equipped to feel through in life. Some trivial and some serious. We are often subject to situations or challenges that test the boundaries of what we are able to handle both emotionally and spiritually. We can lose our jobs, witness the ending of a relationship we’ve invested so much of ourselves into, we can find ourselves in heated conversations with those who share contrasting viewpoints on life. All of which seem hardwired into the human experience, and as difficult as it may be to experience these situations, they often teach us very valuable lessons about the world in which we live. Collectively, these seem to be situations we tend to find our way through. Though, when it comes to abruptly losing someone we love through illness, we are seldom prepared to feel the grief, sadness and heartbreak of such an event. The irony of death is that it is an integral part of our humanness, yet we deliberately deny its existence in our every day lives, and with good reason ; mostly. Of course, it doesn’t seem productive to spend our days contemplating the inevitable, though it can be harmful for us to pretend that it doesn’t exist in a reality where it very much does. So what is the solution? It seems a much larger conversation needs to be had of how not to deny death, but to develop a somewhat healthy understanding of why it exists. I had a dear friend pass away from cancer 5 years ago. A friend that none of us would have ever imagined would leave our world so abruptly. A day prior to recording this episode his partner held an anniversary event to share a book of short stories that she had published as a way to commemorate his legacy and passing.

My friend Val has always been a truly unique human being. With a heart of gold and the intelligence of a gifted scientist, she's always had this uncanny ability to bring people together through community, love and friendship.  We all have that circle of friends we would consider to be the movers and shakers of our lifetime. The ones that seem to be on a mission to bring beauty and love into the world. She always comes to mind. She's the type of person you start a conversation with, and four hours later you still have so much more to talk about.  I’ve always admired her courage to follow her dreams and embody her passion.  Of course, it makes sense for someone as talented as she is. A few things to note about her,    She created a non profit called “Yoga For A Cause” A repeated supporter of “Cycle For Survival” charity events A gifted artist A gifted musician Helped build the Woogie Stage at Lightning In A Bottle  Lead engineer for “Cosmic Entanglement” art installation at Burning Man 2022 Spent Time In Dalai Lamas Temple In India Helped support programs dedicated to helping the homeless on Skid Row Managed online businesses selling sustainable materials meant to reduce waste.  Long story short, she has a big heart and an even bigger one for the adventurous spirit within that calls each of us to follow our path to love. In this episode we discuss her passion for self exploration and her love for travel. In this episode we discuss,    The True Beauty Of Burning Man  The Communal Life Of Transformational Festivals  Life As A Digital Nomad  A Girl And Her RV (Interstate Travel)  A Girl Traveling The World (International Travel)  The Courage To Be Uncomfortable  The Self Sustainable Self  Life In India With The Dalai Lama Teaching English To Tibetan Monks  Relationships On The Road    Divine Nobodies - Full Episode on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoSUTCgzbvw Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

There aren’t many things in life that can help illuminate unconscious patterns in the way that relationships can.  They’re real, they’re unique and they often take precedence over just about everything that encapsulates the experience of being human.  Relationships, if healthy, can grant us access to the most beautiful  reservoirs of love and spiritual evolution. However, gaining access to the benefits of a beautiful union don’t always come easy, and of course, we shouldn’t expect them to. A part of what makes a relationship sacred is their ability to test the waters of our spiritual foundations.  We can be as ready as we want for love, though when we introduce another human being into the equation, it calls for us to really practice everything we’ve spent years trying to master…….love.     Relationships teach us in a way no other human experience can, and a part of that teaching involves how we communicate with our partners.  The tricky thing about communication is that its often quite subjective and varies from person to person.  Some people love humor while others love sarcasm. Some crave romantic affirmations of love while others communicate through action. Whatever your love language happens to be, one thing becomes abundantly clear in relationships; Our ability to practice loving communication will largely depend on how two people collaborate with each other in the midst of life’s greatest challenges.     At times, It can be difficult to remain true to our values when we feel triggered by our partners.  As a result, we may say and do things that don’t always exemplify our greatest qualities.  In this episode, we break down common phrases to avoid in relationships, the impact they make on our relationships and what we can do to change the narrative and focus on a more productive way of communicating our feelings.    In this episode we discuss,    Jenn’s trip to Red Rocks Colorado  The Man In The Supermarket Eric Crafting Orgonite Again Common Phrases To Avoid In Relationships We Vs.

When we think of listening to someone or something, we often approach it in a fairly practical way.  There is sound and there is someone there to listen to it. Easy enough right? Yes and no.  At the most fundamental level we acknowledge how important it is to be able to hear, but what if the act of listening is something different? For example, when we are sitting with a friend and engaged in conversation, do we listen to their words or do we hear them?  How we answer this will largely depend on how present, aware and receptive we are to not only the world outside, but to ourselves.  Mindful listening starts with you.  Of course, this doesn’t mean to just sit and listen to the ongoing narrative we have going on in our mind at all times.     Mindful  listening is something different.  Mindful listening involves using silence, space and the presence of our environment as away ground the ego and illuminate the spirit within.  When we can practice listening to the subtle vibrations of our own awareness, and stay within that feeling, we eventually discover our own ability to observe the innocence and beauty in everything without the ego’s typical habit of narrating our experience.  When we can stop the chatter and unlock the heart, then we can begin listening to others in a way that is loving, receptive and most of all compassionate.  Let’s talk about the art of listening!   In this episode we discuss,    Jenn Gifts Eric A Main Coon Cat Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Room  Jenn’s trip to New Orleans Eric’s Experience With Hearing Loss Learning How To Listen Through Silence Mindful Listening Hearing vs. Listening  How To Listen When Alone How To Listen With Others Creating Boundaries Around Listening Listening’s Connection To Love   Full video episode on YouTube: Available 7/28  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrvbyvD7Tou6IQO_lL_LewQ   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

Have you ever found yourself lodged in a conversation with someone you would consider toxic? Whether in a committed relationship or with a friend or family member, we’ve all experienced what it's like to engage in verbal gymnastics with these types of people.  They often leave us drained, confused and wondering whether or not we are the crazy ones contributing to the madness.  Whatever the cause, typically the outcome is always the same.  We can leave feeling hurt, angry and just as toxic as them at times.  In this solo cast, I invite you to take this journey with me in discovering another vantage point we can use when we find ourselves in these types of situations.    In this episode we discuss,    How To Communicate With Toxic People Developing Awareness With Language Understanding The Utility of Language The Language Of Love and Ego The Radio Of The Body and Its Stations Tuning Into The Right Frequencies How To Not Identify With Toxic Projections     Full video episode on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9pYFAQE6WY   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

Although I don't typically wax poetic about political issues openly, I feel that it is our responsibility as light workers to bring these issues of spiritual dogma to light.   For years, and often against our will, we are conditioned to believe that God is vengeful and that we are born sinners without the merit or justification for deserving that title; and the megalomaniacal ideologues that believe that judicial laws "largely instigated by men" are divinely inspired by God, have been largely at the helm of this religious war against its own people.   To say that they are pro life, yet refuse to offer universal healthcare to families in need.   To say that they are pro life, yet invest little to no energy in making sure children can attend school without getting shot.   To say that they are pro life, yet invest little to no money in support of families trying to make a living in a world crippled by inflation.   To say that they are pro life, yet refuse to raise the minimum wage while doing nothing to combat inflation.   To say that they are pro life yet take no accountability for the emotional wounds suffered by soldiers returning from war, is insanity.   There is absolutely no love or God in this; and it's imperative that we play our part in illuminating the hypocrisy of their world.     Watch Full Video Episode On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PteiB1afpA4 Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

There are several spiritual teachers that Jenn and I have grown very fond of through out the years.  Some have played integral roles in our evolution since the very beginning. All of which have illuminated a path forward into spiritual awakening. One beautiful thing to appreciate about spirituality is how diverse it can be in terms of proficiency.  Whether you’re dipping your toes into the water of enlightenment or jumping head first into bliss with no parachute, this journey has guides carefully crafted to suite whatever level of dedication you happen to find yourself in.  Some seekers gravitate to the more fiercely honest Hindu sages like “Sri Ramana Maharshi” or “Jiddu Krishnamurti”, while others gravitate towards  the more grounded teachings of “Eckhart Tolle” or Marianne Williamson”.  The beautiful thing about these teachings is they all point to the same place.  In the end, it's really about how quickly you want to arrive at awakening.  It’s a really beautiful thing to feel so supported by the modern day bodhisattvas we encounter through out life.    In this episode we explore one of Jenn’s most beloved teachers “Joe Dispenza” and a “Heart” Coherence” retreat she had recently attended in Colorado. In this episode she shares her experience sitting alongside Joe and reminisces on all the beautiful wisdom she brought back with her. Jenn and I also catch up on life, memories and a recent camping trip Eric came back from.    In this episode we discuss,   Camping At El Capitan State Beach Run in’s with Wildlife Spirit Quests in Jenn’s Backyard Joe Dispenza’s Heart Coherence Retreat The Teachings Of Joe Dispenza How Thoughts Create Your Reality Creating New Neural Networks Should Kundalini Be Forced?

When we think of hypnosis, we often think of televised sidewalk performers wandering the Hollywood streets looking for volunteers. You know, the ones willing to miraculously fall asleep within 60 seconds in the middle of a crowded subway station.  Thats not at all awkward right? Well, luckily there is a much deeper and more profound context for hypnosis that isn’t tied to entertainment. They call it Hypnotherapy, and no it won’t have you on one foot barking like a dog with your eyes closed. That is of course, unless you’ve had a past life as an animal.    Hypnotherapy is both mysterious and esoteric ; and speaks to a side of us that is deeply curious about the hidden potential of our spiritual journeys. If you’ve been on your path for sometime, at some point you’ve pondered the idea of past lives. Especially as our understanding of reincarnation begins to take precedence over a limited christian belief system that we are only granted one life to live; the idea of past lives start to make more sense.  But how do we gain access to these past lives? This is where Lauren Bruno comes in.    Lauren is a hypnotherapist licensed with the Hypnosis Motivation Institute.  A large part of her work involves being a guide to those looking to explore the inward depths of their own past. Both in this life, and in past lives.  The beauty of this practice lies in its ability to help us identify and heal past traumas, to not only understand ourselves, but to understand what also influences us at the deepest levels of our subconscious.  In this episode we sit down with Lauren to discuss many topics related to hypnotherapy and her own spiritual journey!     In this episode we discuss,    Lauren’s Near Death Experience  What is Hypnotherapy?  Conscious vs. Subconscious Brainwaves Accessing Akashic Records via Hypnotherapy Releasing Fears & Trauma Journeys Into Past Lives Healing The Witch Wound Jenns Past Life Dream Astral Projection Fears   Full video episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrhZ5iOcuvM   Guest Bio: Lauren Bruno has over 1000 hours of education, training, and experience in hypnotherapy and self-improvement. She holds a diploma in hypnotherapy from the nationally accredited Hypnosis Motivation Institute along with multiple certifications in therapeutic imagery, and hypnosis for anxiety, and past-life regression.   Guest IG: https://www.instagram.com/hypnolution/     Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...
