In this episode, let’s dive into what’s your relationship to mornings.

I have just one question for you: are you a morning person? But more importantly what’s your relationship to mornings?

This week, I’d like to welcome you to morning therapy corner with Dr. Vidya.

Are you a morning person? I wasn’t for the longest time. I resisted creating a morning ritual, hate to admit it, until only recently-ish.

I struggled with mornings for a long time, there was a kind of resistance to starting the day, even when there was sooo much JOY in my life. And, I’ve known that mornings are significant to how the rest of my day or even how my entire life unfolded.

So, I decided to take a deeper psychological look and this shifted everything for me, with a little help from my spiritual master. Essentially, I created my own therapeutic approach.

In this episode, I’d like to share what shifted and what worked to make a night owl like me into morning person.

Finally, The Real Secrets of Manifestation!

I'd like to congratulate you for being here and to deeply honor you. I really have deep respect for your willingness to allow the time and the space that it requires, to envision your future to be brave enough to ask yourself: what do I want, how do I want to manifest all of my goals, dreams, wishes and desires. It really is a very exciting time to be alive.

I'm curious, if you are really excited to consciously create their reality and live the life of their wildest dreams? What if I told you that according to a study in psychology today that over 98% of you, listening today and people around the world will likely die with unfulfilled dreams. This reminds me of a beautiful quote from the late great dr. Wayne Dyer - who I had the pleasure of studying with - Dr. Dyer, who wrote, “do not die with your music still, inside you.” The great news about that, is that I can help you with this, to overcome this very depressing statistic, and I have two very powerful intentions to share with you...

The first intention is how to spark a conversation, a connection with the universe, in order for you can tune into the infinite field of potential - of infinite wisdom - of infinite possibility. And the second intention, is to transform your journey to manifesting and I can tell you, that it's probably not what you think it. Transforming your journey to manifesting is where you can instantly shift your reality, so you can face any situation that the universe delivers to your life, into your reality. So you can face, fear with faith and uncertainty with beautiful certainty.

Episode 2 of the Seven Faces of the Soul.

This episode of the podcast is, from excerpts from a weekend seminar that I did on the Soul's Path. What is the Soul? The Soul is a being - living and vibrant - and it is so much more. 

It has several specific Faces - seven of them to be very precise. And your Soul is with you from the moment of death to the moment of birth, and all the time in between. And each of these faces comes to you and gives its many gifts to you. Not necessarily by vocally expressing itself but by communicating in their way - through the cracks and crevices of our life, in the silences, in the stillness, in the cherished moments, and in the enchanted times of your life, our Soul communicates all the information we need to know.

Sadly, because the Soul is denied in our world and is given such few avenues of communication - because its particular tools have been turned into shams of silliness or of embarrassment - the communication to so many is very difficult. Because of the inbred chauvinism, because of the impact of an arid spirituality, that exists for many only within the confines of religion, it’s messages are missed. They are lost. And people flounder. We flounder in delusion, we flounder in a negative ego that ultimately turns against them... We flounder imprisoned in our own shame, in our own pain, in our own sorrow continuing to punish ourselves, never finding our power and never using it - never finding our talent, never using it.

And It certainly does not have to be this way. It was never meant to be this painful. If we can hear the messages of our Soul, so many answers can come. So many new directions can be found and so much pain can be relieved and healed. It is not a panacea, yet there is so much magic if we can learn to listen to our Soul ... if we can know its Faces.

In the last episode, I talked about the first three faces of the Soul -the Name, the Power, and the Eternal Youth, which correspond for the early part of our life. This week, I’ll share the remaining four faces of the soul, which are: the Wounding, the Shadow, the Double, the Remain.

What is The Soul? Faces of The Soul – Episode 1

This podcast is, from excerpts from a weekend seminar that I helped facilitate with my guru on the Soul's Path. I am going to break down: what is the soul? The different faces of the soul into two episodes because it’s such a vast subject. So spend the next few episodes on the Soul’s journey - to be exact there are seven faces of the Soul-  this week, I’ll take you on stroll to discover the first three faces of the Soul - then next episode join to discover other four remaining faces of the Soul.

Far from being some remote, untouchable concept, the Soul journeys with us through out our lives, appearing with us and to us as seven distinct energies – I called it the Seven Faces of the Soul. The first part of a two-part series, which gives you a brief overview of all of them, this episode covers the first three of the Faces, the ones we experience in our childhood.

The Faces of the Soul, they have been talked of before, and many of you may know them already, or may know the words, know the names, know the intellectual descriptions of what goes on. Some of you may even have glimpses and clues, and some of you may even have gained communication from your Soul from each of these various faces.

The Soul is such a nebulous thing. For most people it is a non-thing. It is a persona non grata, and if you will, that doesn't really seem to have much play in your life. Oh, yes, of course, it has influence, and it certainly will demand reckoning from everyone, whether you will admit you have a Soul or not... But for most of us, the Soul isn't anything more than some sort of nebulous something that is of God, something that cannot be understood...

How to Heal Your Life Using EFT - The Basic Tapping

Welcome to the tapping area, the second episode on EFT. In this episode, you’ll learn How to do the EFT Tapping Basics - The Basic Recipe, the centerpiece of EFT. Last week, I gave you the nut’s & bolts of EFT: the theory, the science and its uses and this week, let’s get into the actual practice of tapping.

The EFT Tapping Basic Recipe is an easy to use healing tool that provides the very foundation for expanding your emotional freedom. It is the tapping procedure that we use in every round of EFT, it is easy to learn and easy to apply, which is why EFT has become well known as a tool that anyone can use. By itself, the EFT Tapping Basic Recipe can be applied to any issue you want, and although it is still only the first step to EFT’s full potential, it continues to provide results that range from encouraging to impressive.

A recipe, of course, has certain ingredients which must be added in a certain order. If you are baking a cake, for example, you must use sugar instead of pepper and you must add the sugar before you put it in the oven. Otherwise - no cake!

The EFT Basic Recipe is no exception. Each ingredient must be introduced precisely as described and they must be added in the proper order.

What is EFT? And how to use it heal your life. 

Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT (often known as Tapping or EFT Tapping), is a universal healing tool that can provide impressive results for physical, emotional, and performance issues. EFT operates on the premise that no matter what part of your life needs improvement, there are unresolved emotional issues in the way. Even for physical issues, chronic pain, or diagnosed conditions, it is common knowledge that any kind of emotional stress can impede the natural healing potential of the human body. It often works where nothing else will.

In many cases, EFT can be applied directly to physical symptoms for relief without exploring any emotional contributors. However, for the most powerful, longest lasting results with EFT, we do expect to identify and target related emotional issues.

What is tapping? Millions of people are settling for lives filled with poor health and emotional baggage. Not knowing how to achieve the joyful and satisfying lives they desire, they’re stuck accepting a lifestyle of emotional trauma, chronic physical pain, compulsions and addictions, or perhaps just an empty feeling inside. Along with these problems come pills to kill the pain, sleep at night, and suppress anxiety – but this is hardly better than the disease.

Responding to Troubled Times – A Spiritual Perspective

During this trying and turbulent time in the world, I’d like to share a message with suggestions of how to respond as the masterful magicians, future makers that we are. 

A meditative suggestion is also included in order to help us temper the negative energies as well as bring in and augment more positive energy.

These are confusing and troubling times. In the frenzy of global activity, in the chaos of the current increasing violence, and with the escalating threats of tragedy and terror, it is increasingly difficult to know where to turn or how to respond. 

You are a magician, a masterful one at that, you are a future maker - but with all that's happening and with the speed with which these crises are unfolding, it is easy to lose sight of who you are, of why you are, and of how to be who and why you are. You ask for help, direction, guidance - you ask for something.

I have spoken of the prevailing energies of this phase - of this current, turbulent and threatening times - and those energies are present and they do and will prevail. 

Boredom, yearnings for freedom, awakening human spirit, initiation, gratitude. Each has its positive expression, its potential expression, positively and also negatively. 

Right now, we are experiencing the negative faces and hearing the negative voices - the excessive, melodramatic, clamoring, and shouting voices - of those prevailing energies.

Learn all About Reincarnations and Parallel Lifetimes

You know as a spiritual person, as metaphysicians, that our physical plane is an illusion. You know as astute, intelligent people - whether you're metaphysical or not - that reality is an illusion. Our scientists have demonstrated this so conclusively, so repetitively, so rigidly, that the only way you can pretend otherwise is to deny the truth.

The metaphysicians and the scientists, who are usually at odds with one another, agree totally on this issue: Your reality is a product of thought. Your reality is a product of consciousness. Your reality is an illusion of light. Your reality is an illusion.

Spiritual beings, metaphysicians from the beginning of time have said: Time is an illusion. Einstein demonstrated that time is an illusion. Subsequent quantum physicists have more than demonstrated and proved that time is an illusion, that it is a convenience we have created for ourselves. All things are simultaneous. Every lifetime you had is occurring now. Every lifetime you are having is occurring now.

Now, you have those lifetimes, and you put them on a continuum. You call the left end of this continuum the past, and you call the right end of it the future. All that really means is that you are putting the whole array of lifetimes that are randomly scattered or placed out there - the entire smorgasbord of lifetimes - in order. You are putting them in sequence.

Use the Power of Goddess to Heal from Rejection

It is my sacred joy to share some tips and tools and hopefully helpful insights - that can support you in healing the wound of rejection. The rejection wound is so, so deep, I remember once reading an article, where some psychologists had done a survey and their findings show that of all the different kinds of pain - we can experience but the pain around rejection, people reported was deeper and more difficult to bear, then even the pain or grief.

I don’t about you but I personally have experienced every form of rejection. So I really come from a place of experience, when I share this with you. And before I learned to cultivate, an empowered spiritual relationship with myself, where I could really focus on my self love, and that connection with the divine within - it was really devastating to experience any form of rejection, whether it was romantic or professional or in friendships or colleagues. I really know how difficult and painful this can be and from my position, that I share everything from - it's a goddess, energetic and spiritual perspective. And I really hope, you'll be open to receiving this kind of support on your path.

I will be sharing specifically five goddess archetypes that you can invoke, cultivate, work with, however you are comfortable - we all have the divine feminine and masculine within us and how I share these is in a way that supports you...

Sleep & dream interpretation

Your mind holds all the keys to reaching your fullest potential. Everything that you need to know about yourself can be found in the messages provided by your dreams.

Dreams can reveal your unconscious thoughts, patterns, and opinions. They often contain symbols and metaphors that must first be unravelled before the meaning comes to light.

Luckily, there’s a simple, 3-step process for interpreting your dreams so that you can access the hidden messages in your mind. One of the most important steps in this process is the one that most people skip. And that’s a big problem. Forgetting this one key step can cause you to interpret your dreams incorrectly and lead you down a false path.

I’ll share what that step is, but first I’ll tell you why this is so important. Dreams are a Powerful Tool for Unlocking the Secrets of Your Mind. Using the interpretations of your dreams to uncover secrets about yourself or to guide your path is a common practice that’s been around a very long time.

In fact, ancient civilizations have been interpreting dreams for thousands of years. Originally, dreams were thought to be communications from the supernatural realm or interventions from a divine being. Dreams remove your biases to help you gain an objective point of view. Your subconscious mind, the one you can access while dreaming, can often hold secrets that your waking mind may not be willing or ready to hear…

Shifting Paradigms in Our Current Time

Let us look again at the shift of paradigm that is taking place within the Great Awakening that unfolds all around us...

Yes... I know, those words - paradigm shift - are ones with which you are more than familiar. I would suggest that despite their popular use, and at times overuse, you are in the midst of a profound evolution. You are in the midst of a massive paradigm shift that is called the Great Awakening.

It is often spoken as a tri-polar energy that is attempting to become a uni-polar force in our universe and in our world. I think of it as an awakening of the domain of spirituality, the field of play of Earth, the physical place and the complexity of human individuality. I think of it as three powerful energies working together to become one - to become one incredible force that can catapult our world into becoming the New World it is now destined to be!

To many, these words can seem as nothing more than hyperbole. Yet, these words of the New World can sound as glorious fantasy. And yet there is a New World, and, I would again suggest- it is now destined to be.

And the agent of change behind this Great Awakening? The engine of change beyond the precipitation of the New World? The shifting paradigm. So let us look again...

This episode is about meditation, this episode is about pain and this episode is about compassion. I am going to tie these three areas together. I’ve given 100’s of classes and courses in meditation - and one of the things I've noticed - which I'm sure you've noticed too, is that many people have a view about meditation. People often think it's like shutting yourself down and a lot of people struggle, unnecessarily, when they meditate because they try to clear their mind. And that phrase clear your mind is sort of thrown around, a lot - clear your mind, clear your mind, clear your mind - and of course, you're sitting there trying to clear the mind and the mind is screaming! And so people are struggling to clear their mind, to switch off their thoughts. I think people are struggling because the whole concept is not helpful - trying to sort of go into a blank state, is more like trying to become unconscious - it's like being in a coma.

I think meditation has nothing to do with clearing the mind - it has nothing to do with switching off! It's about exactly opposite, it’s switching on, it's about waking up. And so our thoughts, and the emotions and particularly, our pain are very powerful catalysts in the practice, if you can learn how to work with them, in a creative way. When we talk about meditation and about consciousness, especially talk about expanding our consciousness - which is obviously the theme here - what we're talking about is realizing that our mind is bigger than our thoughts.

Some of the metaphors used in the ancient texts on meditation, are metaphors, such as the sky or the ocean. So imagine you're flying in an aeroplane and the plane is coming down to land - of course, we know that the plane is going to come down, through the clouds and land. What if you didn't know that, maybe if you're a small child - you might think that the plane is going to crash into the clouds because they look very solid. So in the metaphor the sky is our mind - the clouds are our thoughts and emotions. And this is what happens to us...

I knew to surrender myself to a higher power.

Let's start with the first question - what exactly is manifesting? And what would I say to people that believe that this is bunk? The act of manifesting is the awareness – it’s the conscious awareness, that we get to create our reality based on our thoughts and our feelings. So there are so many instances that naturally happen either in science or nature, where we can see that every action has a reaction and this is essentially manifesting because we live in this beautiful vast universe, where every thing is based on intention and feedback. So you set an intention and it comes back to you. You think of a thought, it then is executed in a specific way and this essentially is the core essence of manifestation.

It’s not as simple as that, is it? You don’t just think a thought and that which you want comes to you. Well, the beauty of manifestation is that it is simple and effortless - and that most people, especially in the personal development industry - over complicate it. They believe that it is something that it’s not! I like to call junk food spirituality, where you see people say “let me manifest a million dollars”, I’ll think about it or I’ll create a vision board. I’m not saying those things don’t happen. But there are so many key mechanisms that need to be adhered to, in order to manifest correctly. Learn them in this episode.

Let me begin with a question about your money mindset, I am going to ask you a question, some of you may know the answer - what is the number one thing, couples fight about in the world? The biggest thing that couples fight about, even billionaire couples is money! 

So, here's the second question, since almost every couple is going to fight about money - how right you do you think it is, that you heard your parents say things like: we can't find the money, I don't know where to get the money, I can't afford it, money doesn't grow on trees, you're wasting money, I don't want that, we can't afford that, we're not those kind of people...

If you think you must have heard something, somewhere in your life, that affected your relationship with money - raise your hand. Even though, you are listening to this episode and I can’t really see you see but I am certain that almost all of you have your hand raised. You see, I knew this because I witnessed my cousins, little girl say to her mother, in front of me recently - she said mommy you don't have to fight about money with daddy... she said you just have go to the bank and they give it to you, because that’s what she believes. 

Soo, you can have whatever you want, we're all born with this, that I can have everything, whenever I want. And then something happens and our money beliefs start to be really become wrapped. We learn half of what we learn in our whole life before we're five years old and our relationship with money is fixed when we're seven...

This is the number one topic that I get asked about: what is the secret to Abundance.

Finally, Learn the REAL Secrets & Tools: How to Attract Abundance!

In this episode, I talk about 24 abundance blocks and then I take you through an abundance energy clearance, don't miss it!

How many of you have ever tried to manifest something and something crazy happened, where it just didn't show up? It could be love, money, it could be in anything - and no matter what it is that you are wanting to manifest and it can be incredibly frustrating.

So, when my intuition developed, I decided because, let's be honest, when your intuition develops, people want you to, kind of, be the circus act. They're like, "Tell me my future, Tell me what's going to happen." And, what would happen is, I'd look deeply into a person’s essence and I'd be like, "Oh, gosh they're going to keep creating the same exact thing over, and over, and over, and over again. How do I help them fix that?"

I will to give you, my cliff-notes in this episode. Everyone, pretty much, in my experience, has the same 24 abundance blocks. So I created a course where people have access to tools to clear the abundance blocks that we all go through, I help people clear their blocks.

What's Your Destiny & How to Work with It

There's almost nothing more mysterious: Destiny, even sounds as if it is imposed from without, having nothing to do with our conscious choice.

In fact, there is destiny that is given and destiny which is chosen.

Destiny is a complex of Fate, Fortune, Forces and the Inevitable, with a magical Empowered Destiny emerging when we consciously work with the Forces of Destiny.

And in the midst of life in which destiny already operates, we can place programs in our destiny, knowing that anything placed within its umbrage and radiance will come to pass.

Destiny is a really powerful concept, and I used to think that it was in contradiction to the ideas of conscious reality creation. I was thinking of it in the old consensus ways and in the ways of religions from earlier in the twentieth century and in the century before...

The paradox: If something is destined to be, then how can you say you consciously create your own reality?

If something is destined, how can you say time and space are illusions of your creation? I pondered this paradox for years, and it was a source of a great deal of highly productive energy. In a joking way, I say that I am sort of sad to see that paradox leave (be resolved), as I will miss it.

Now, there are several kinds of destiny: the given destiny and the chosen destiny...

What are Chakras and Learn How to Balance them

You are a being of light and energy. Imagine each day waking up feeling healthy and physically well. Is there anything more satisfying than this?

Well – yes, it’s much more satisfying to know in your heart that you’re following your life’s purpose -  so that you feel balanced and spiritually connected to the world and people you love.

I used to work everyday with dozens of dozens people to heal the main energy centers that power their bodies - the Chakras. I know more than a few things about energy healing and I’m going to share my system with you now...

But before I do, you should know that you don’t need to be a master level healer to start seeing results. You just need a process for improving your energy flow.

I call this process “Chakra Balancing”. And Here’s how it works - Your Chakras are swirling cone shaped vortexes that allow Life force Energy to flow into and out of your system.

Your body, mind and emotions rely on this energy to function properly and maintain good health… so when your Chakras are closed or out of balance it leads to illness in your body and imbalance in your life.

Open your minds and hearts and kick your skepticism out the window, my friends - oh yeah, it’s time to talk about auras.

Aura is the subtle manifestation of everything that you are! If you look at one’s aura, you clearly know his/her physical health, mental health, his/her karmic structure - and in a way, even know his/her past and present. Aura is a certain manifestation of yourself.

The aura has long been described as an electromagnetic energy field that surrounds people - like an egg-shaped ball of energy that encompasses the body. The aura consists of seven levels/layers/auric bodies, also known as the physical aura, astral aura, lower aura, higher aura, spiritual aura, intuitional, and absolute planes.

Each one of these subtle bodies that exists around the physical body, has its own unique frequency. They are interrelated, and each body affects the others. They also affect a person’s feelings, emotions, thought patterns, behavior, and overall health. Just like with chakras, a state of imbalance in one of the bodies leads to a state of imbalance in the others.

I’ve had unending love affair, all through out my life - Gra.tit.ude. Before I get into the philosophy of gratitude and why I think that gratitude is in fact not just a something you but why I think it actually medicine, I’d like to first start this episode by sharing a beautiful exercise that I practice everyday and I would also like to share a 10 minute guided meditation on gratitude in this episode. This is s topic that’s close to my heart as trained naturopathic doctor.

What is Gratitude? I’d like to say it’s a recognition that there’s goodness in our lives, gifts or benefits that we enjoy and which we might often take for granted. This goodness is often due to the actions of another person. When we’re grateful, we recognize the intention and effort that went into those actions on our behalf, and the benefits they gave us.

How Can Gratitude Help Us? Over the past two decades, studies have consistently identified strong benefits of gratitude for our minds, bodies, and relationships. Gratefulness increases happiness and life satisfaction.

Grateful people are more resilient to stress....

Grateful people get along better with others...

Grateful people are less depressed...

Grateful people achieve more...

Grateful people are more helpful and generous…

You love. Absolutely, you do. You have grown, you have changed, you have evolved. And you do love. You feel love with your Unseen Friends and with your Inner Child and Inner Adolescent. You feel love outside in your illusion, in this physical realm. Oh yes, you do.

But, you see, you also feel the need to control, and that control robs you of the intensity, the depth, the beauty, and certainly the power of that love. And through the decades you've become so conditioned to that control that it is like the drone of a fan: It's only when it stops that you realize, "Oh, my gosh." It's only when the control is gone that you start feeling what love can really be, what power it really has. And when you do, you no longer have to settle just for the words, just for the poetry that for so long you've had to settle for. You actually experience that love far more deeply, far more richly than you ever have. Love really is all there is. It really is everything people say it is, and oh, it is so much more.

Of course you do love. But even so, the price of control is giving up love, banishing it, renouncing it to whatever degree.
