Today’s article is written by Change Coach Suzie Yeulett   Life is a constantly moving stream of experience. There will be inevitable ups and downs for us all during that experience. However, it’s possible to weather life’s storms in a more pleasant way than most people are aware of. It’s a Superpower and I’m sharing it here.   I talk about our thoughts and feelings being like passing weather that will blow through eventually, by nature. Really seeing this can allow space to pause before we react unconsciously to any passing, stormy mental weather. This pause can mean the difference ..read more

In this episode I speak to some questions from a listener about how to best support her daughter through suicidal and self- harm thoughts and actions. The listener notices when her daughter’s mood seem to fluctuate in a way her daughter does not. I speak to how we can point to the always in flux nature of form, and also the formless health that is always present because it is who we are. I talk about helping someone surrender into the energy they are feeling. Wanting to escape THIS through self-harm or death makes absolute perfect sense when THIS feels unfeelable, which only happens when there ..read more

Today’s article is written by Change Coach Alex Linares   Imagine you are driving to a new city using your GPS and at first it seems to navigate you out of your home city accurately so you are closely paying attention to every direction and prompt it provides. But as you get farther from the city it begins to double back. It tells you to make a right turn and when you do it spins again and says “recalculating.”   Because you haven’t been paying attention to the mile markers and the landmarks around you you find yourself disoriented. Nothing looks familiar and because you were focused ..read more

Episode 300 is all about working with thought and awareness to re-cognize your true nature. Awareness is always-present. It is who and what you are. It is overlooked due to identification with thought. Thought, attended to and identified with, is dead. It’s not always-present nor is it who or what you are. How to re-familiarize yourself with your true nature and unhook from identifying with thought (which is suffering, by the way)? It’s simple but can take a little practice.  Rest as awareness.  Recognize the dualistic thought patterns that are trying to feed off your energy and at ..read more

I get a lot of questions about what it looks like to feel what’s arising.  How do we welcome what’s here? How can we fully immerse in what is?  These are great questions that aren’t easily addressed by more talking about it; so in this episode, I walk you through an experiential exploration.  This was very intuitive and on-the-fly. I want to make it clear that there is no right way to do this. There is no script. There’s just an intuitive exploration that may (or may not!) feel something like what you’ll hear in this episode.  I hope this gives you a sense of how you can d ..read more

Richard Lang was a recent guest speaker in The Little School of Big Change community. This episode is a portion of our time with him. This conversation with Richard is an investigation into your true nature. From a few feet away, you appear to others as a person. You appear to them, so you’re told, as a human with a face and head.  But how do you appear to yourself? Do you see your own face and head? What is your nature when you look?And what about when we look closer? What about a few inches away? At your center? What’s your true nature at zero distance?   This is what The Hea ..read more

It can be heartbreaking to feel as if you “have it” – clear seeing, a buzzing energy, emotional freedom, a loss of identity –and then to feel as if you “lose it”. And, this is what you signed up for. It must be this way. This is awakening, not the always happy picture your mind created.  In this episode I’ll explore why and when this feels so heartbreaking, but how it’s actually the best news there is.  The post EP297: When you have it and you lose it appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson ..read more

We’re always getting what we most need because what we “get” is our own projection.  It’s a projection from and as an insecure identity. That’s what our triggers are – the areas where the self we take ourselves to be feels threatened and insecure. This is why it seems that we are victimized by the same recurring patterns over and over. We are, but we aren’t victimized by other people or a cruel universe that keeps punishing us. We’re seeing our own insecure identity over and over so that we can move through it.  So that we can finally see it for what it is.  In this episode, I ..read more

Today’s article is written by Change Coach Karli Naglick   Lately, I have been curious about all of the things that I think I “know.” We all move through the day based on what we think we “know.” For example, we know when we need to wake up, we know what we have to get done, we know how the people in our lives will act, and we know how we will act.   But how much of what we think we know is real? Let’s get curious about that together!   I’m going to start with a personal example that is relatively easy. Sometimes I don’t do household cleaning tasks because I “know” that they wi ..read more

In this episode I have an amazing conversation with Dr. Kathleen Perry about the most important exploration: Who am I? Kathleen shares how being curious about identity is fundamental to everything we’re up to and everything we’re up against. Nothing shifts the way life looks and feels the way an exploration of identity can. Kathleen discusses her own identity shifts, particularly when her husband died a few years ago. Her experience sheds so much light on how identity operates in mysterious, sometimes subtle ways. We also talk about how identities seem to crack and break open (like it or not ..read more
