You may glimpse the Light of a human aura from time to time, but the Light of Source resides permanently within you and without you; and is you. To be on Earth is to learn and grow, to become a greater conduit of Love for the Universe. You have made many choices for your life; you chose to be here.

The Way of Effortless Leadership
"When we learn to work with our own Inner Nature, and with the natural laws operating around us, we reach the level of Wu Wei. Then we work with the natural order of things and operate on the principle of minimal effort. Since the natural world follows that principle, it does not make mistakes. Mistakes are made–or imagined–by man, the creature with the overloaded Brain who separates himself from the supporting network of natural laws by interfering and trying too hard." – Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews K.G. Johnston about The Way of Effortless Leadership. K.G.

Her yoga journey began when she met her husband, and he had a yoga book on the shelf. It began with guided meditations when Teri was pregnant with her first child, and found that they worked beautifully. She felt like incorporating a mental practice into her self-development would be something that would be beneficial. After retiring from teaching, Teri opened Earthling Yoga, 200-hour Teacher Training from her home. She prepared for my first teacher training class. It had the atmosphere and theme that I envisioned. Still, it appeared that collecting teaching material that was engaging and customized. Not wanting to require the students to buy so many books, yet wanting to incorporate the wisdom of so many yogis made the first year of teaching a 200-hour YTT was challenging. Teri would continuously spend hours and hours looking for the things that she needed. With her experience as a science teacher, it was apparent that yogis and wellness professionals needed a peer marketplace for the yoga community. Yoga teachers needed a way to share documents, pictures, videos, lesson plans, classroom support material, and tips and tricks. This was Teri's inspiration to create an online space to showcase the collective talent of the yoga teachers.

Change is inevitable. Reinvention is a Choice
Embrace all ideas no matter how crazy, how left of center, bad, and how inappropriate they might appear. Collect them ALL. Incubate them in a place that is exposed to discussion, consideration, re-evaluation, exploration, experimentation, and collaboration. No idea is a bad idea! If you think it's a bad idea, challenge yourself to turn into a good idea. One seemingly wrong or bad idea becomes a good idea, changes into a great idea, transforms into the right idea. Give it water, food and time. It might be relevant 10 years from now. An idea should never be drowned, buried or lost, rather, simply stored away until its time to resuscitate it from the shadows of its perceived shame. . ~ Vital Germaine In this episode, Vital Germaine talks how Change is inevitable but transformation is a choice as well as other thoughts in between!

Aware of Life's Unpredictable Nature
It is natural and fundamental for living beings to want to be happy, healthy, and free from suffering. Life would not have persisted for nearly four billion years were living things not motivated to, and reasonably good at, seeking favorable circumstances and avoiding unfavorable ones. It seems human aspirations are doomed to be awkwardly incompatible with the vicissitudes of life. Indeed, in most if not all of us, there is an undercurrent of dis-ease, a fear about what is to come, that the moment of something terrible happening might be in our future, and not just someone else's whom we read about in the news. So, what to do? If we can detach from that belief that our wishes are more important than reality, we can begin to find real peace. ~ by Josh Sandeman This episode is about conscious awareness, transformation, freedom, and thoughts in between and my guest is Josh Sandeman Josh is a Family Nurse Practitioner working in an underserved population in Oregon.
