Erina and Melissa discuss the idea of 'what's real and what's illusion' and the power of your mind. You direct (either consciously or unconsciously) your flow of experience through choosing which streams of thought you'd like to entertain. The choice comes down to either fear or love- oriented thinking. One is your natural state, the other comes from part of mind that believes itself to be separate and life to be limited.

Salt Lake DirtMelissa Shapiro - PIGLET - Episode 233Today on the show I welcome Melissa Shapiro. Melissa is a veterinarian, author, and animal advocate. Her life changed when, along with her husband Warren, they adopted a one pound deaf-blind puppy named Piglet.
We talk about her journey with Piglet, from fostering to creating an educational movement. I was fascinated to hear how Piglet's challenges became a source of strength, leading to a memoir, a children's book and a nonprofit dedicated to teaching resilience and inclusivity (Piglet Mindset).
Amazing chat!
Thanks for listening.

Today I ChooseMonday Meditation: New Moon, New MindWhen I recorded this meditation, it was a new moon. And that got me thinking…First, I was reminded of the Albert Einstein quote, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Next, this led me to consider: what does that mean? How do I, in other words, open to a new mind? How do I form new ways of thinking and new ways of being? To create new thoughts or to come to an out-of-the-box solution, Einstein suggests, one needs new neural pathways. And to start this process, one must disengage from the re...2022-03-2926 min

In Cathy’s words, she describes herself as a fully recovered codependent, hide-behind-the-drama-and-BS-of-day-to-day-life person who was, tragically, trying to dim her own brightness. Since then, however, she’s spent the better part of the last 25 years healing those wounds and, in the process, has uncovered an incredible truth – that life is so much calmer, easier, and more FUN when we’re able to be ourselves. In other words and to her, being ours...2022-03-2227 min
Today I ChooseMonday Meditation: The Ripple EffectToday, we're visiting one of my favorite topics…and that is the ripple effect. To explain this, think about the ripple effect from an energetic perspective: we all walk around this earth with a radiating field that starts at our core and continually undulates outward. Like waves rippling from a single drop of water falling in a pond, we make ripples. And as these waves move further and further away from our center, they might lose visibility. Nonetheless, that energy is touching other energy, becoming one with the pond, one with the whole.You are the nucleus....2022-03-1528 min

Funny enough, doing podcast interviews last week, somebody brought up the book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World by Admiral William McRaven.

"Eavesdropping...as in, listen to observe..."While in observation, however, we often sit in judgment of ourselves and of others.
