Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond061 The Seven Principles of the MindThis month, we are going to look at seven principles of mental health. The more the mind understands these principles, the more able it is to navigate this world, which is very rarely exactly as it appears to be. Adopting these seven principles will bring us closer to unlocking ultimate mental freedom and understanding our experience of reality. We will be looking at:Self-concept and how it leads to a battle within the mindThe principle of no separation between external reality and self-conceptThe concept of no free will and the subconscious foundation of our behavioursWhat emotional he...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond060 How to Be More YouHow can we be more true to ourselves? This is a question for anyone who feels as though their experience of being is out of line from a deep feeling within what they are. It might be that our way of living, our relationships, the place we're living, our lifestyle, that all of those things are not quite coherent to what we are. It might be that our behaviour and our habits are jarring, and that there might be a feeling of needing to control or manipulate to get what we think we need. And no...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond059 Identity and GenderThis month, we are exploring identity - specifically gender identity and its implications on society and on our understanding of the truth of what we are. Identity, or the vision of ourselves that is held psychologically, is the product of an enormous belief system. There is currently a societal wave that has made it very difficult to ask big questions about gender identity, and in some cases, challenging the beliefs about one’s identity is criminalised. So in this episode, we are going to explore the psychological construct of identity, what happens when psychological identity overrides biological rea...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond058 The Impact of Exploring RealityThis month we’re looking at what kind of difference in perception and experience people should expect as a result of exploring reality in the way in which we are doing it in our programs.There are three areas that I would expect to change. And if these aren't changing, then there's an obstacle - a fear, more than anything else, of what it means for the mind to go deeply into what is true. In this episode, we’re going to look into what those three areas are. We are going to talk about the misguided purs...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond057 The Benefits of ProblemsIn this month’s episode, we're looking at the benefit of problems, and how they can perform an important role within the belief system in which the mind operates. We're going to look at it from two perspectives - the benefit for the identity, and the benefit for a more aligned experience of being. So we’re going to understand what may be the basis of our persistent problems with relationships or with money, how to discern between different kinds of problems, and how we can shift the mind from projections into reality. What We...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond056 RegretWhen we are looking to solve a problem, one of the most difficult elements of a problem can be regret. It’s that thought, if only I'd done something differently when I had the chance, then this problem wouldn't be here. If I had or hadn’t done something at a certain moment in time, that would have changed everything about the past from that point on, the present moment that is being experienced right now, and the future. Regret is a powerful state of mind for us to look at. In this episode, we’re going to defi...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond055 Problem SolvingThis month’s episode is an introduction to our May programme, which is all about the intelligence of the mind, how it is liberated and how it comes into its full potential as the most miraculous and capable organ on the entire planet. Basically, all our programmes are looking at how the mind becomes more sane. One of the ways in which the mind becomes more grounded in reality is through problem solving. Today, we’re going to look at two kinds of problems that our mind is trying to solve, and how that contributes to grounding ourse...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond054 Don't Let Go of the Outcome“Let go of the outcome” is such a modern mantra, isn't it? Let go of the outcome and just focus on the process. And that mantra gets very confusing, because why would we let go of an outcome that is highly achievable and highly beneficial either to us, or to others, or to the world? Think about the work of surgeons and what would happen if they let go of the outcome. The problem is that letting go of the outcome can start to imply to not even try, not think about it, it almost becomes an opt-o...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond053 The Direct PathThe direct path is a spiritual approach which considers that the content of experience is a creation of the mind. And for the mind to be in truth, we should turn away from that content to what lies behind all of the experience of being, which is consciousness, intelligence, love. The direct path is completely solid and grounded, and that’s awesome. But the thing is, the mind is still operating in a world where we work, we have family, mortgages to pay or problems with our boss. So if the only truth is what is prior to...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond052 Find Your Why“Find your why” is a very common phrase that we hear in self-help circles. It's the idea that there is a higher purpose, a bigger meaning we can find, a deeper motivation that will inspire us, and that will keep us going through tiredness and frustrations. It’s a very powerful argument, and that power is incredibly problematic. Because, if our why relates to securing the ego identity, then that whole thing is completely insane. So in this episode, we’re going to explore why finding our why can lead us to chaos, and how we can understan...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond051 BoringToday, we’re going to explore the gift of the fun house. The title of this episode came about as I remembered how my son experienced the fun house at a yearly fair in our town. For two years in a row he was scared, running into the same mirror and getting bumps on his head, and then the third year he just thought it was boring. Boring is such a good word when it comes to what the mind creates, the enormous roller coaster that the experience of being can go on in the grip of tot...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond049 Being SeenToday we're looking at the driver to be seen. Everybody wants to be seen, to be heard, to be acknowledged. It provides the temporary feeling of validity, worth, and survival even. And that makes sense when looked at from the belief system of what we are as a separate entity, that can somehow find wholeness through attention and love, regard and respect. In the midst of this tremendous drive to be seen, we use elements at our disposal, such as our work, our body, our looks or our help and support of other people. In this episode w...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond048 Nice Eyebrows - What Compliments and Insults RevealToday, we're looking at the difference between a mind that is claiming doership and source accountability. We're going to take a story from a beauty salon to explore the mind’s confusion about being a separate doer that’s making things happen, and the state of mind that is sane, inquiring and settling back to truth about what we are and what is real. We're going to use simple messages that we can receive like compliments or insults to reveal the deeper meaning behind them about our belief systems, and to explore source accountability as the system of mo...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond047 What is the Benefit?Last week, we looked at one horrible question to ask ourselves in the midst of resentment: What is my equivalent? This week we're looking at an even more horrible question: What is the benefit? It is a horrible question because on the surface, it has the potential to be really dangerous. We need to understand its full power when we are in situations where there’s resentment towards someone or something. Is it possible that we might be benefiting directly from that situation? So in this episode, we’re going to explore why exactly this is a dange...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond046 What is My Equivalent?Today we're looking at one of the most powerful, humbling and liberating questions that we can ever ask ourselves. It's a question that comes into its full power in the moments when we are feeling resistance or resentment to someone. The question is: What is my equivalent? It’s a horrible question, because in those moments when we want someone to change their behaviour, the ego is having a field day. There's a full sense of me versus them, and it’s a wonderful place for the ego identity to hang out. But then in comes this quest...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond045 New Year, New You?Because we’re starting a new year, today we're looking at the phrase “New Year, New You.” You can see it throughout all of social media, all of the products, fitness plans, health kicks and diets - all selling the idea that you can create a new “you” through different behaviours. But is that true? Can going on a diet or giving up alcohol really make you feel like a new you? Obviously, any behaviour change, especially ending an addiction, is going to have a dramatic effect on the experience of what you are. But the most fas...

There is enormous conditioning around the holiday season.

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond043 Peace and AlignmentToday, we're looking at the difference between peace and alignment, and the shift that happens when finding fake peace is no longer interesting. We have all experienced a strong urge and motivation to find and somehow keep our peace of mind. But if our entire experience of reality is based on our ego identity, on the idea of a separate “me”, it proves to be an impossible task. So why is that, that we try so hard to be at peace and simultaneously we end up further and further away from it? And how do we start to re...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond042 You Create Your Own Reality. Why That is a Problematic PhraseToday we're looking at the phrase you hear a lot in spiritual circles - You create your own reality. This is a really interesting one, because it all depends on what that “you” is. How we understand that “you” will determine whether this phrase sends us into complete confusion, more frustration, more insanity, more stress, or whether it's a portal to sanity and to a deep understanding of what is going on within the mind. In this episode we are going to explore the two you’s that this phrase could be referring to, and why I’ve decid...

When there are situations like illness in the family, one really needs to step up and become incredibly efficient to organise and run everyday life. Because I’ve seen that being done so brilliantly in my family, it’s a tragedy to me when we live our lives in a constant struggle and fight that is not caused by circumstances beyond our control, but is the creation of our own minds.

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond040 HealingWe live in a culture where we are learning all the time that our ego identity can be secured by someone else saying the right thing or doing the right thing to make us feel worthy. For example, if someone says we are beautiful or we are a great worker, it gives us a high like a drug. But the problem is that the high is temporary and it’s always followed by a crash, leaving us wanting more of the same drug. Depending on these highs to find any sort of stability creates an epidemic of men...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond039 What is Alignment?Alignment is a word that we use quite a lot on this podcast and in this conversation. But what is really alignment and how can we recognise it or reach it? In this episode, we are going to look at alignment in three areas - dealing with misalignment to settle into the truth, behaviour changing as a result of understanding how our mind really operates, and the movement of intelligence and consciousness into the real world. And once we’ve recognised alignment and understood the perfection of the design of our superpowered mind, it’s a trai...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond038 How to Make Better ChoicesIn today’s episode, we’re looking at how we can make better choices. But in order to even start talking about choices, we must acknowledge that there is categorically no chooser. There's no independent entity that exists to choose anything, even though it looks so obvious that “we”, as a separate identity, are choosing our actions and behaviours. What our conscious mind is actually doing is just witnessing the choices that come from the vast subconscious realm. So if there is no chooser, how can we get better at making choices at all? We’re going to tackle t...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond037 Should I Stay or Should I Go?We often find ourselves in a situation, a partnership, a friendship, or a job where we're feeling stressed, anxious and frustrated. And then we ask ourselves the question: should I stay or should I go? This is a great question for us to explore, because any situation in which there is stress is an opening space of inquiry for the superpowered mind. What often happens is that we either stay or we leave and nothing changes in our life. We stay stuck in the same situation or we replicate it in the next partnership or in the n...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond036 What is the Ego?It’s time for us to get really clear about what the Ego is. The ego definition that we usually encounter, particularly when we talk about someone having a ‘big ego’ is that they think they are better than other people. But actually - they might in many respects be better at doing certain things. Recognising talent, ability and strengths of a body mind has nothing to do with ego. Ego is simply the obsessive attempt to secure the self-identity. And all of those attempts fail, because it’s literally impossible to secure the idea of...

Right in there is the biggest irony. On one hand, it's guaranteed through this exploration that the lived experience of being will become more peaceful, more joyful, more aligned to what we truly are. The problem is that this guaranteed outcome happens in proportion to how much we stop attempting to get it.

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond032 The Brick WallThis episode is called “The Brick Wall”, because we're talking about a dead end and a complete full stop to the wants and needs to secure which cannot be secured. And that’s the identity. Identity relies on the belief system of being a separate, controlling entity. It's the attempt to control the experience of being, to control what we think of ourselves and what other people think of ourselves. Every single want that relates to controlling the experience of being is a 100% unfulfillable quest. And yet, our entire lives are dedicated to fulfilling these wants, and enormous industries are de...

Today, we’re going to dive into what “home truths” are and how they drive you to actually miss true power.

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond029 What Are Healthy Boundaries?This week, we are looking at healthy boundaries, and how the conversation about identity, self and reality can have an enormous effect on the sanity of our boundaries. One of the main dangers in setting healthy boundaries is that the confrontation involved in maintaining those boundaries and establishing deep relationships can be too much. If our earlier experiences taught us to avoid respecting our own space for the fear of being laughed at or shamed, we may even find ourselves spiritually bypassing boundaries, by claiming that there is no objective self and objective others. So in...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond028 How Can I Have More Focus?Today’s topic is around focus, and in order to talk about focus, let’s first consider what focus is. Focus is pure attention. It is also called flow, the gap, deep presence, immersion and other names, but it is the fullness of attention given to something. So, focus has an object that our conscious mind illuminates like a spotlight. But what is the object of focus, and what controls where our attention goes? That’s what we are diving into today, because it takes us directly to what conscious mind is, and answers the questio...

Capacity is the availability of resources from moment to moment. Resources such as attention, energy, compassion, endurance, creativity, time and money can make an enormous difference to what is experienced, what choices are available and what actions can be taken. It is not true to say though that the expansion of capacity is always a...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond026 Is There Such a Thing as Constraints?Are constraints that we perceive real? It’s a vital question to explore, because our brilliant human mind, with its capacity for creating concepts and psychological devices, can very easily exit itself from reality. Our very ego is built on constraints and limitations. However, what we want is freedom to dive deeper into reality, we want to engage with our mind, body, talents, capacities, skills and abilities on a deeper level.So that’s why we need to ask the question - is there such a thing as constraints?

Twenty five is also celebrated in many cultures as officially marking the move into adulthood.However, spiritual maturity happens throughout our life, and is an ongoing invitation right up to moments before death. In this episode, we’re going to start by looking at the ego, which is actually the inner child, a naive collection of unquestioned beliefs, seeking and resistance. We’ll see how understanding this begins the process of spiritual maturi...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond024 Self-Esteem is the End of Self-ReferenceToday we are looking at self-esteem and why it is the end of self-reference. This flies in the face of what the entire self-help industry is telling us. From what we read and hear, self-esteem comes from a focus on me, my confidence, my sense of being, my purpose in life and what I contribute. So it looks like to have high self-esteem, everything has to be focused in on that self, that needs to be developed and that needs attention. But the highest self-esteem is something else entirely. It’s actually two things, and today we’re go...

No, because being kind is so fraught with what we think being kind is, which might not be what the other person has in mind at all. Is it giving them our opinion? Not really, because our opinions change all the time. Is it doing what they want? No, because doing what they want is then caught up in people pleasing and trying to get their love or their affection through manipulation.So what is showing up for someone? ...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond022 What is My Equivalent?This question comes from my current course on compassion, in which ‘resentment’ is one of our core topics. Resentment feels so awful because it is coming from the belief system that all behaviour is personally decided on and personally directed. Our identity goes into protection overdrive, creating the full lived experience of victim-villain. In these moments when resentment is running the show, there is one ultra-powerful question which ends the stress immediately. This question is “What is my equivalent?”. In this week’s podcast we are looking at how it relates to resentment, and why it is...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond021 ConfidenceThis week, we’re looking at the confusion around confidence. For decades, this was a confusion that I was completely lost in, suffering from paralysis around public speaking. It looked to me that if I could just have more confidence, then I would be okay. I read books on confidence, I went to courses on confidence, but none of it worked. And the reason it didn't work is because the understanding around what confidence is and what effect it has is completely misunderstood by our culture, our society and even by psychology itself. So in this...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond019 Why is This the Only Conversation to be in?I say very often to my clients that this is the only conversation to be in. I do say that a lot, because the understanding of what the mind is, of what reality is, what the self or the identity is, of what is true and what the mind is capable of creating - all of that is liberation for the mind. Anything else other than this conversation is going to be an attempt to secure a vulnerable identity, convinced that it is separate from everything else, which is an impossible task.

We're going to look at it from the perspective of what is true and what is useful.

We can consider the ego as the ongoing conscious experience of existence and of what “I am” in relation to that experience of existence. But the current understanding of what we are is very individualistic and it's focused on that ego as being an entirely separate entity that is able to choose behaviour, to make independent decisions, that can be built up, can become more confident and can have more sense of worth until it becomes healthy, which is the ultimate goal. ...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond015 ResilienceI want to start this episode by introducing a thought that the way we've been looking at resilience is completely wrong and confusing. It’s actually creating a foundation in our lives that is profoundly unhelpful. So how about we start with this: consider that resilience is there to the extent that the focus is on the activity or the situation, rather than being about the identity. Because when the whole experience is about me and my self-esteem, my worth and what other people think of me, there is zero resilience. So let’s look at r...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond014 The Role of PsychologyPsychology could be playing an enormous role in understanding what we are. And yet it's falling short, and that fact is contributing to the mental health crisis that we are finding ourselves in.The statistics are dire: in the last 20 years, antidepressant use in the U.S. has increased fourfold. 25% of people in Europe now suffer from depression or anxiety. Worldwide, depression is now the #1 cause of disability. 300 million people suffer from anxiety and $8 billion a year are spent on mental health medication. There is clearly something wrong. It shouldn't be the case that human bodyminds need m...

I know it sounds a bit crazy, because the lived experience of being is of a separate individual, but that’s the fundamental confusion of the mind.

We’re also going to explore the notion of “objective” reality, our self-understanding, the content of our mind and the learned beliefs of what we are.

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond011 What is Security?What is security is an enormous question. As security is explored, we can start to see that the more the mind associates security in either external circumstances or an inner realm of experiences being a certain way, the more the mind becomes confused and our lives become disrupted when things change beyond our control. That sets up existence as being vulnerable and shaky, and our lives become smaller, more rigid and more dependent as the mind becomes lost in the grip of factors being the source of security. So in this episode, we’re going to...

Our actions, our words and relationships are all done in order to try to bring about peace and ease of emotional and situational being. It’s all very understandable and logical, because as a baby, we live completely in the present, with no concept of past and future, so peace is actually what we are. Once our mind develops and starts learning, planning, and understanding, it starts creating concepts and beliefs about our identity, and so our search for peace begins from that place of...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond009 How Do I Get Rid of the Shame?Shame, which I also refer to as an existential wrongness, is a deep feeling of being somehow responsible for everything that we feel is messed up within us. That ongoing sense of deep wrongness comes from the most fundamental confusion about the mind, about the body, and about our behaviour. However, shame is both our greatest suffering and the point at which there can be the greatest sanity about what the mind is and what we really are. There are examples of people who’d hit rock bottom and were even on the brink of suicide, and then...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond008 Why Can't I Get What I Want?For all of us, in some area of our life, it might be that it feels just like a struggle, like we're pushing water uphill, and the more we try, the more the thing that we want moves away from us. Or otherwise, it might be that we want more money or more clients, but we don't even know where to begin. Maybe we want better health, we want to be stronger, fitter, more flexible, and yet there just isn't that motivation in us. So what is going on when the thing that we want jus...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond007 Is My Personality My Fault?This week, we are looking at the origin of personality and the 'me' that thinks it has a personality. We can define personality as the tendencies, traits and preferences, the ways of being and behaving that are the result of both nature and nurture. They're our genetic inheritance and they are how those genes are activated as a result of the individual experience. So our personality arises and develops over time, but can it fundamentally change? And is our personality really ‘our fault’? This is what we’re exploring in this episode...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond006 How to End Your AddictionThere is an interesting connection between addictions and the individual belief system. All behaviour, including addictions and compulsions, is the product of whatever subconscious conditioning is in operation. There is no separate decider. As this becomes more obvious, harmful, toxic and problematic behaviour that was carried out to secure the ‘separate me’ falls away. The problem with addictions is that we normally operate from an unquestioned belief that inside every mind, there is an independent chooser that is making independent decisions. In this episode, we’re going to unpack that belief in relation to addictions, and sta...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond005 Fear and InsecurityEvery day I speak to people who have intense fears. It can be in any area of life: fear of public speaking, of driving, fear for their health, fear of dying, of not having enough money, of being rejected, and all other areas of life. What they're wanting, and what I wanted so desperately when I was in the midst of my public speaking phobia, was for the fear to just be taken away. But the absolute irony at the heart of fear is that the desperation for it to go away is exactly what's k...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond004 How Trauma Influences Your PerceptionTrauma is a distressing event that we can't cope with; that the body-mind system in that period of time doesn't have the capacity to assimilate, to recognise what's going on within the body in relation to it, or to talk about or find a way through it. Often these traumas happen during childhood, because the child is completely dependent on the caregiver for their survival. And if there isn't the support of the caregiver for the child in that moment to deal with the frightening event, that trauma becomes part of the body and of t...

Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond003 The Struggle and Your UnhappinessOur mind is so powerful that it is literally able to cut itself off from reality. It believes whatever it is conditioned to believe. So all the suffering and unhappiness that we’re experiencing, for many of us comes from a deep fear, deep insecurity, a sense of lack, and the shame at the heart of not living up to expectations, of not comparing well to the people around us, and of having habits, addictions and emotions that we can't control. In this episode, we’re going to explore how we can better understand this stru...

A superpowered mind is completely sane, completely in reality, with full access to all the data available right now, as well as all the resources of that individual's experience, including the experience beyond the personal, in the nebulous space of the universal subconscious. This is all our birthright. The human mind is designed to be like this. So in this episode, we’re going to dive into the superpowered mind and how to start releasing its full potential in three...

In this episode, we’re going to dive into what the mind is, the two aspects of it, and how the brilliance of the human mind sometimes becomes our downfall. What is Cove...

My mind was immediately transported back to 2019 when I was taking all of you courses, and when I took REAL for the second time in October of that year, my own histamine symptoms went through the roof! I was terrified. And yet, something kept my ass on the seat in your course. My mind hated every word you said, and my body’s histamine symptoms increased and mo...

I always experienced it as total retraumatizing, litterally devastating. In trauma therapy you first establish some ressource like eg a stable feeling in some part of the body and then oscillate between the safe space and the anxiety to not overwhelm the system. I don't think this is always necessary but some sort of connection to a bigger picture, like the space that we are or something like that to hold the anxiety is necessary i...

Desire ——I don’t get what I want…I blame someone or something or myself…I try harder….I, I, I, …..whew. Thank you Clare for helping me.

You make me curious of my ‘worst nightmare’. :)I then heard ‘Clare in my head’ saying:“What’s at stake here? What is being protected? Shame is where you are most identified. There’s a ‘you’ doing, a ‘you’ deciding…”Indeed! So much energy involved in trying to control the way people see ‘me’. So much energy that could be used to flourish.

And then that energy being felt in the senses (ie body). How can you HEAL a blip of energy? It seems you have the choice of 1.

Im thinking of my clients who have huge anxiety about childbirth. They arent pregnant even but so fearful. Are you saying that this fear and anxiety is something thats in their system from childhood wounds and theyve just hooked it onto birth? Like it could have been anyhing? Its just a portal to feel and sit with anxiety that needs to be felt?

I understand that what's happening right now is all there is and anything else is imagination. My body holds a lot of contraction and sometimes the mind gets involved as well. It seems like my projections always do come true though so it's hard not to see what's going to happen as being close and often worse than what my mind cooks up. My brain is now wired for this. When you talk about 'getting still' do you mean that literally as in I sho...

Listener questionFollowing Clare’s podcast on Tuesday about therapy and my subsequent post, some questions have come up about access to help for people in distress; I’d be grateful for any thoughts.Obviously, a person who is ignorant about nonduality (as I was) cannot discern whether or not the therapist they approach has this understanding.However, for a prospective or current client who knows about nonduality, such as the podcast questioner, is it better for them to forego the help of someone who doesn’t come from this understanding? They might be likely to, but are we...

I've had a year out from reading 3P you're books but now seem to have got a taste for it again. I'm now reading HOME and finding it pretty all-engrossing. Loving the humoured too😀. I have a question for you about universal mind/ consciousness. How do we know it's something universal rather than just a phenomenon of the brain that all brain owners have?

What is that? Sometimes it seems like a temporary respite, like giving a piece of candy to a child who is tantruming. Other times it seems like presence/connection emerges and there's simply life unfolding and then the mind labels it as "belonging" or "being seen/heard/validated". Can you share more about that please?

I know you answered already a lot of questions and the anwers are logical, but this system here just keeps asking and not knowing. So the thing is: change just happens if for the system it makes no more sense to sustain a behaviour. Ok so far. And when and why this happens, who knows? Something has been seen, heard whatever. Suddenly the systems sees things differently and what made sense yesterday doesn't make sense anymore. So this sounds like there is nothing to do, no atti...

We come with nothing and we leave with nothing and in between it is our “purpose” to know who/what we are and then what? Madeleine Albright (just an example) died not long ago - what was her purpose? Did anything she accomplished matter at all? Creating a new world, but what should that look like then and does it even matter? Is this world simply to unveil us?

I think I'm beginning to see more of what you're pointing to.

Listener questionI've listened to your podcast on "What do you mean by feel the feelings that arise".

For example, I've been trying to go deep into the body when I have panic, or panic attacks at work.

As I'm reading See what you made me do. 7 years ago I left a marriage of 22 years of crazy abuse, and now I'm watching the cycle repeat itself with my eldest son and his wife.

She said in order for him to heal that I need to go into long term therapy to have someone connect me back to my heart space and my feelings.

We need to take action on all of this right now not sit around wondering about the self and about what I am. Spirituality seems totally self indulgent when there is so much that must be changed . We first need to sort out all the issues in the world - like climate change, racism, violence etc and only then should we turn our attention to ourselves.

It is likely that this may have taken a toll on the physical body at the cell level. If, as a result, the cells are no longer to work optimally this suggest that the cell trauma might then limit a persons connection to their 'life energy' and even an ability therefore to connect to their 'truth'. Literally, as if the cell 'processor' for truth and life energy is worn out. In your...
