His concern is that there are people out there who blindly trust in things with no solid reason, and so when he opens up about trusting them as well, he'll be lumped in with the non-critical thinking masses who will believe unfounded things with very little scrutiny or need for compelling evidence.He does energy healing but is skeptical of Reiki practitionersHe uses crystals but distances himself...

2022-01-021h 14True North with Abby & RyanDifficult Emotions, Soul vs. Personality, Generational TraumaWe live in a culture of "positive" and "negative" emotions, which really comes down to emotions that we're uncomfortable feeling/seeing, and ones we're comfortable with. In this episode, we unpack this framework.There are certain situations where certain emotions are deemed appropriate or inappropriate. But why? People's comfort. Why are they uncomfortable with some emotions? Because they weren't taught to deal with those emotions themselves.Parenting - when it's hard for us to deal with our kids' expression of "difficult" emotions, we do well to check our "why's." Do we want to shut down their...

And the best part is, your beliefs about the nature of dreams (random meaningless neuron firings, astral projection, everything in between) have no bearing on how useful this practice can be. It's less about what a dream is and what's "really" happening when we dream, and more about what we do with our dreams in our waking hours.

True North with Abby & RyanCentering, Regret, PresenceWhen you say "feelings," you're either talking about emotions or physical sensations. So use those words instead.Feeling agitated/triggered? Focus more on why you're feeling that way and less on the thing that caused those emotions.Regret:Unhealthy - "If I had done X differently, Y would have gone more favorably, and I'm disappointed that it didn't go that way."Healthy - "How could I have been better then, and how can I use that to be better now?"Being present: "What's happening is happening, and it is what it is."
