THE YUMMY WAY PODCASTUltimately—You Are Your True AuthorityIn today’s episode we talking about how we find and live from each of our own integrity to true self verses out of obligation or deferring to some perceived authority. It’s amazing how quickly we can defer to a so-called authority, when a seeming crisis happens and loose touch with your genuine personal experience. So often, at times like this, we give authority figures the power to tell us how we should feel. It’s almost like ‘shit man, I’ve been going along doing fine, and now I’ve got this ‘problem’ that now I’ve got to...

We leave our presence in favor of judgement about what should or shouldn’t be happening — or what so-and-so shouldn’t or should be saying. But it’s not even our reality. The moment in front of you is reality. What’s happening right here and now. For example, what’s actually happening is you are sitting holding you...

We’ve heard that word thrown around a lot since we started living with cancer in our lives. Especially since we decided to discontinue treatment and let cancer take its natural course. There is this idea that we should fighting cancer to the bitter end, waiting for the BIG ultimate miracle — being cancer free. Like life without cancer is somehow superior or valid or more favorable, than life with cancer. It has been interesting to note people’s reactions to mortality when it’s staring them in the face, when it’s s...

And loving every aspect of it — because that’s what you’ve got! It is really recognizing that it is the only way to live in equanimity with life — in the pulse of life itself. Acceptance is only way to live in peace and joy. Regardless of any particular circumstance. Even cancer. What is, is what is. Resistance to accepting it is ultimately (as the Borg would say) futile.

Or are we giving and receiving with the expectation of getting something in return?Like if you give someone something, you expect them to say thank you, yes?

It’s funny how as we age that number of what prime changes. Especially the more we live in the present moment.

Most of us can relate to the label perfectionist. I grew up thinking it was a good thing... something to aspire to. I had the unrealistic idea I had to do things perfectly or I was doing i...

After all we’re not being seen or heard properly or we wouldn’t need to set them straight. Right? We lash out and attack what we perceive to be an attack on us. Right?

Then, if we are of the mindset that our thoughts create reality, we judge that something has gone wrong. We feel guilty. We blame ourselves, judging that we must have done something, or we believe something that has caused the painful occurrence to happen. And this cycle become our...
