Spiritual PsiKology229. The Power Of FocusWhat we focus grows, and what we avoid stays frozen. We talk about "paying attention." This payment is valuable. Valuing our attention, becoming mindful of what we are focusing on is a potent tool for self transformation; just by becoming aware. It is no secret that we live in a time of great distraction. Renee talks about how distraction is often rooted in a particular form of suffering and how the principles underlying the 12 Steps can help us find the hope and power we need to create positive, constructive change in our lives. 2024-11-0516 min

Spiritual PsiKology196. Respond Don't React It's common to react in patterned ways when we get upset.

Spiritual PsiKology191. Healing Power Of ConnectionLoneliness and isolation are unfortunately common in modern life. The suffering of isolation isn't just emotional, it can become systemic and lead to deeper disconnection and dysfunction. Renee sites the work of bio-engineer and scientist Michael Levin who is studying how connection, even on a cellular level, is necessary for healthy functioning of the larger system. Great truths hold value on the macro and the micro levels.

Spiritual PsiKology186. Energetic ProtectionWe are always exchanging energy with other people and the environment. Most of the time this is fine, but sometimes this means we are picking up energies or emotions of places, people and things that don't belong to us without even knowing it.

Spiritual PsiKology183. Perspective Is EverythingOur perspective creates our reality. Our emotions and level of consciousness are like glasses we look through to see the world. But these glasses can be changed. Renee uses David Hawkins Map of Consciousness and Frederick Dodson's Levels of Energy to describe how our emotions determine our experience and how we can use these tools to create the experiences we want to have. We hold different levels of development in different areas of our lives. The good news is that we are always able to grow and change both our feelings and our life experience.

Spiritual PsiKology167. Unearned GuiltThere are two kinds of guilt. Healthy guilt is when we act badly and our own conscience in letting us know we need to change our behavior. Unhealthy guilt is triggered when we step outside of the often unwritten codes and expectations of our families, cultures, religions or other institutions. Unearned, or innapropriate guilt, is rooted in the judgement, beliefs or feelings of others. It is external. Healthy or appropriate guilt is rooted in our own internal value systems and inner integrity. Often these external and internal value systems are in conflict. Renee talks about being a...2023-03-1422 min

Spiritual PsiKology161. The Truth Will Set You FreeThere is a spiritual principle that "the truth will set us free." The shadow aspect of this principle is that we are as sick as our secrets. Renee talks about her experiences with drug addiction and alcoholism, shop lifting and dating married men, and how learning to tell the truth completely changed the course of her life. Like walking a spiral staircase, we can revisit our perspectives on ourselves and our experiences over and over as we grow and mature. These changing perspectives point to the idea that even the truth is relative and needs to be examined and r...2023-01-3113 min

Spiritual PsiKology160. Living Your DreamsLiving your dreams is not a luxury. In fact, the roots of depression, anxiety, addiction and much of our dysfunction may be found in our unrealized desires, our unexpressed talents and our undiscovered joy. We are each a unique expression of divinity with something to offer into the stream of life. When we don't live our dreams, we suffer. Supporting and nourishing our authentic self in the world is the path to happiness and fulfillment that most of us are looking for. Renee gives some practical tips and tools for finding that inner compass that can guide...2023-01-2414 min

Spiritual PsiKology158. Spirit ReleaseSpirit release and spirit attachment are aspects of working with the dead that are foreign to modern Western culture.

Spiritual PsiKology156. Hopeless HopeHope is a wonderful, energizing attitude. There are many things to hope for in life.

Spiritual PsiKology152. Your Soul's PurposeAsking the right questions will get us the answers we seek. It may take some time to answer the biggest questions in life, but if we "live the question," we are more apt to live into the answers. Renee talks about her own winding path through business adventures in Russia, cleaning houses and ultimately finding her life's work in Spiritual Psi-Kology. If we learn to live into our questions, like "What is my soul's purpose?" or "What brings me joy?" the Universe will answer us in surprising ways. ----- Check out our free upcoming events a...2022-11-2919 min

Spiritual PsiKology149. The Too Good MotherThe too good mother is the part of ourselves that wants us to stay safe and comfortable at all costs. The too good mother makes us weak, frightened, limited and often creates the self-hating bad mother and evil step sisters of myth and fairy tale. But there is also a wild mother, the strengthening, challenging aspect of the Life Force that forces us to grow in courage, instinct and intuition. Renee shows how wise stories and real life examples can teach us how to discover and cultivate the inner fire of our own authentic selves. ----- 2022-11-0814 min

Spiritual PsiKology143. Loneliness vs SolitudeLoneliness is the painful experience of disconnection, longing for love and companionship. Solitude is the nurturing and fulfilling experience of deep time alone and connected with oneself and the larger consciousness system. These are very different perspectives and feelings in the same circumstance of being alone. Introverts may crave time for themselves, while extroverts crave time with others. Renee talks about the vast difference between loneliness and isolation and contentment in solitude. Each has it's place and calls us to grow and change in different ways. ----- Check out our free upcoming events a...2022-09-2717 min

Spiritual PsiKology130. Parenting, Karma & Birth CircumstanceOur birth circumstances can create a template for the karmic issues that call us to grow in this lifetime. What we resist persists. If we don’t work through our stuff and grow and evolve in the here and now, our issues may follow us into the next incarnation. Perhaps we even agree to our life situation on a soul level so that we can grow and evolve our own consciousness. Renée talks about the Buddhist concept of Bardo, the space between lifetimes, growing in forgiveness as an antidote to anger and how birthing her own children healed her in...2022-06-2027 min

Spiritual PsiKology129. Mindfulness, Silence & Thich Nhat HanhIn our busy lives we often spend more time checking off our to do list and getting on to the next task then we do actually experiencing the beauty and complexity of life. It's easy to take things for granted and miss the many opportunities for joy and fulfillment that are always available to us. When we learn to look deeply at ourselves, our relationships and the world around us, we find that gratitude and happiness arise naturally from within. This is the practice of mindfulness. Renee talks about learning to look deeply while on retreat with t...2022-06-1419 min

Spiritual PsiKology111. The Advanced Guide To ChangeLooking for positive change in your life? Here's the breakdown of the four stages to change in any area of our lives: acceptance, action, chaos and resolution. Each stage has particular gifts and challenges. Moving into unknown territory can be exciting or terrifying depending upon our perspective and the process of personal growth can get derailed at many points along the path.

Explore the amazing transpersonal realms of spirit, nature and...2022-02-0819 min

Spiritual PsiKology110. Conflict, Creativity & ChaosChaos and conflict are often elements of creativity. Chaos is the element of the unknown that is a vital part of the creative process, but so is stability. Structure and chaos can be in conflict or they can compliment each other.

Spiritual PsiKology108. UnderbeingUnderbeing is a concept from a little known 12 Step fellowship called Underearners Anonymous. Underbeing is when we don't bring our authentic self into the world. When we follow the external expectations of others, rather than our own deepest truth, we live an unfulfilled life. Our hopes, dreams and desires are a compass we can follow to our own souls journey. Between birth and death is time. How we spend our time determines the quality of our life. We have many, many choices. Renee offers some simple but powerful tools for becoming conscious of how we actually spend our time...2022-01-1818 min

Spiritual PsiKology97. Working With The DeadWorking with ancestors and the dead is an ancient practice. Awareness of the unhealed dead or disembodied souls has long plagued and fascinated people. There are clear and helpful ways to work with the dead, both those who can help us and those who need our help. Renee talks about Buddhist, Shamanic and old world practices that can be learned and used in modern practice. No one gets out of here alive. We will all be touched by death. We will all die ourselves. Growing in our relationship with death and our own understanding of soul is...2021-11-0114 min

Spiritual PsiKology72. The Problem With MotherThe idealized image or archetype of Mother is often very different from the imperfect women who hold that title. Words are powerful and many of us have a concept of the perfect mother unconsciously imbedded in our psyche that can be the source of both blame and shame if we aren't aware of it. Receiving and giving unconditional love is a nourishing human experience, but we may want to look to the Divine Feminine for the pure acceptance and care we seek, rather than to the fallible human we call mother. Renee is giving a FREE webinar...2021-05-1113 min

Spiritual PsiKology71. SynchronicitySynchronicity is coincidence that has a conscience. Some would say it is God's way of staying anonymous. This phenomenon, also called serendipity, can be seen as guidance or affirmation from the Universe, or it can be shrugged off or ignored completely. When we experience events that seem to be too perfect or meaningful to be random, we are opened to the possibility or the mystery that there is more going on in life than meets the eye alone.

Spiritual PsiKology70. WTF Is Inner Work?Inner work is the profound process of updating our beliefs, healing our wounds and reorienting how we experience life. We underestimate the level of change that is possible in every area; physical, mental, emotional, relational, spiritual. Small efforts can bring great rewards. Renee talks about how our homes and our external living environments can be a metaphor for our inner world. Many of us try to change the outer world in hopes of finding the inner fulfillment and happiness we seek. But this is often the wrong direction. When we change ourselves inside first, then the outside...2021-04-2720 min

Spiritual PsiKology69. Let's Talk About SexTalking about sex in a mature way can build incredible intimacy in relationship, but most of us just don't know how.

Spiritual PsiKology68. Energy MatchingWe are all affected by the energy of the people, places and things around us, both positive and negative. Becoming aware of this natural energy matching tendency, we can grow in the ability to hold our own and not be at the mercy of circumstances outside our control. Renee discusses David Hawkins Map Of Consciousness, which organizes levels of energy from 0-1000. When we understand the different resonances our outlook and emotions have, we can bring our intention and our consciousness to help elevate our own life experience and the resonance of those we interact with. L...2021-04-1315 min

Spiritual PsiKology66. WTF Is Spiritual Psi-Kology?Spiritual Psi-Kology works directly with the emotional, spiritual or body felt experience of a person using guided imagery, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and Shamanism. Western psychology operates primarily from a rational or intellectual perspective, which can be very helpful, but is limited. Each of these approaches are effective in different circumstances. Renee talks about her decision to practice outside the scope of talk therapy and how many types of transpersonal psychology have been helpful in her personal path from addiction, depression and anxiety to health and wholeness. --- Rate, Review & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts. 2021-03-3016 min

Spiritual PsiKology63. Joy Is A Source Of PowerHappiness often comes from the outside, but joy arises from within. We can cultivate joy in our lives through creativity, selfless service and random acts of kindness. As William Shakespeare once said, "The joy is in the doing." From this perspective, joy is a verb. Renee describes how doing street art in the middle of the night became a way to manage emotional turmoil and transform her own sorrow into joy. Joy instructs us to ask what we can bring to life, rather than what we can get. When we focus on how we can m...2021-03-0912 min

Spiritual PsiKology62. Trapped In FearLove and fear are opposing forces that drive our decisions and dominate our life experience. Renee talks about her long experience with anxiety and how we can outgrow fear. The forces for love and the Universal Life Force, aka God, are infinitely generative and creative. Tapping into the flow of life and moving into the unknown are imperative skills if we are to find the true joy and fulfillment most of us seek. However, many are trapped in fear and insecurity and remain slaves to perceived safety that may actually be causing more suffering than we are a...2021-03-0216 min

Spiritual PsiKology60. Our Inner Allies & DemonsOur demons are our fears, dysfunctions and unresolved emotional issues. Our allies are our honesty, willingness and openmindedness as well as the wealth of human and spiritual help that is always available to us. Our allies grant us the courage and hope to be able to face our demons and perhaps even transform them, as garbage is transformed into compost under the right conditions. Renee talks about her demons of body image and food addiction and how our suffering points to the places we most need to grow and heal. --- Rate, Review & Subscribe on A...2021-02-1616 min

Spiritual PsiKology59. The Prince, Princess & Evil Queen ArchetypeMyths, great stories and the characters in them are like instruction manuals for personal growth. The story of Snow White provides a powerful template for the healthy marriage of our intellect (The Prince) and our intuition (The Princess,) or the unhealthy relationship of judgement and self-criticism (The Evil Queen) with our own authentic self. Renee retells this classic Western fairytale and offers some practical and provocative insight in how the archetypal characters of Prince, Princess and Evil Queen are actually different parts of ourself. --- Rate, Review & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts. ...2021-02-0916 min

Spiritual PsiKology55. Take Aways From A 7-Day FastI'll try anything once, but I won't do a 7 day water fast again. Though I went in openminded and without expectations, my 7 day water fast was still surprising. It was a powerful experience and I'm still unpacking the take aways. Fasting is an ancient practice with modern appeal for longevity and health. But fasting can clear more than just your digestive system. Retreating from regular life and making room spiritually, emotionally and energetically by not eating, provides a profound opportunity for growth, clarity and awareness of beliefs and issues that may go unnoticed in ordinary life. 2021-01-1214 min

Spiritual PsiKology54. Healthy ConfrontationConfrontation can be compassionate and empowering. Renee offers a simple formula for healthy confrontation which is effective and transformative. There are times to let things go and times to confront intentional negativity and harm. Learning to discern when to speak up and when to move on is part of our personal growth work. The golden rule found in most spiritual and religious traditions directs us to treat others and we want to be treated. We also need to learn to treat ourselves with the same justice, love and conviction that we give to those we care for. He...2021-01-0416 min

Spiritual PsiKology52. Mary Was Not A VirginThe Divine Feminine has many faces. In Christianity the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalen are powerful figures. We can look at them as archetypes of madonna and whore or we can look at them as real women with important stories to tell and as role models for feminine strength and compassion. Renee talks about rejecting the female role models in her life as weak and uninteresting. Many women model themselves after men when searching for success and self determination, but the true strength of the Divine Feminine has much to teach us about a different kind of s...2020-12-2217 min

Spiritual PsiKology51. WTF Is Non-Duality?Non-duality is the experience of the one-ness of all things. There is a ground of being underlying the duality of the material world. Duality is the pairs of opposites; day and night, love and hate, fire and water, peace and fear that create the dynamic tension of the everchanging and impermanent physical realm. Most major religions and many spiritual traditions point to non-duality as a path of peace. There are many modern teachers of non-duality that share their insight and wisdom to raise our consciousness that we might transcend duality and find this peace ourselves. Renee gives an...2020-12-1517 min

Spiritual PsiKology47. The Golden ShadowThe Golden Shadow holds our hidden gifts, repressed creativity and withheld courage.

Spiritual PsiKology46. The Survival Guide For Sensitive PeopleSensitivity is a superpower when we know how to manage it. We all have many extra senses that are generally considered intuition or instinct. Because our culture doesn't recognize experience that isn't testable in a lab, these other ways of knowing are usually unrecognized and underdeveloped.

Spiritual PsiKology45. Feeding The Gods: Sacrifice & The Wisdom Of Letting GoDissolving depression, letting go of grief and surrender to the circadian rhythms of the universe are important for growth and health. Sacrifice on a transpersonal level is more about releasing what no longer serves us than it is about virgins being devoured by Minotaurs. However, ancient myths have much to teach us about the wisdom of sacrifice, of "feeding the gods." When we try to cheat the cyclical dynamics of birth, sustenance and death, that we are all subject to on this plane of existence, monstrous forms may arise and proliferate. Renee talks about dissolving her own se...2020-11-0216 min

Spiritual PsiKology41. Kink And The Healthy Lover ArchetypeThe Lover archetype can be constructive and deeply healing or destructive and abusive. Masculine lover energy dictates much of our sensual experience of the world, going way beyond sex and relationship. We all carry masculine and feminine within us. We all have dominant and submissive or active and receptive properties. There is much to be learned from the kink community in how to work with dom/sub power dynamics in a healthy, conscious way, whether we plan to explore the world of kinky sexuality or not.
