Inspired Evolution with Amrit Sandhu 🙏🏻

Our guest for this week is Charles Eisenstein, American public speaker and author. ​Charles' book "Sacred Economics: Money, Gift and Society in the Age of Transition Paperback" can be found HERE.About Charles EisensteinCharles Eisenstein is an amazing public speaker and author of an essay called “The Conspiracy Myth”. His works cover a wide range of topics from human history and spirituality, to anti-consumerism and interdependence. He is also known for the books, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, Sacred Economics, and The Ascent of Humanity. Connect with Charles EisensteinWebsite: https://charleseisenstein.org/Tune In: What is a conspiracy myth? 26:02The attention received by “The Conspiracy Myth” essay became the beacon towards the realization of being a right-wing conspiracy theorist. But beyond that, conspiracy myth is actually a part of the phenomenon of downgrading and dehumanizing other people. A lot of the data points that the conspiracy theorists draw from are totally valid. Conspiracy myth is a perception of a vast conspiracy that pulls all of the strings and controls all of the puppets on the theory of how the world works. There’s a larger reality that we're not fully aware of and that is hidden from us. “Myths whether or not they are literally true, they carry truth. They’re different from a fantasy or delusion. But a myth is a vehicle for truth.”Science, Religion and Biases 33:41Rituals are the foundational myths of our civilization. There is something outside ourselves that we can prove and gain certainty and control. Religion is a vehicle of a sacred principle embodied by science. The fundamental core of Science is “I do not know so I shall ask”. That’s the sacred essence of science’s humility enacted by scientists at their best and at their worst. When science and religion is institutionalized, they lose touch with their sacred essence and serve the opposite. A lot of the abuses and dysfunction of science today is an expression of arrogance. “Science is “I do not know so I shall ask.”Leading into the conspiracy and pulling these strings 37:43Order can emerge spontaneously out of chaos. Beauty and intelligence could be a property of the universe because the world itself is alive and conscious. We’re programmed that we have all the answers to know what’s real and what isn’t. When that is violated, we go to a phase of bewilderment. This is to open up and appreciate multiple paradoxical viewpoints. The willingness to entertain paradox is a profound path of self development. “The ability to hold paradoxes is necessary to uncover the deeper reality that resolves the paradox.”Conspiratorial Rabbit-Holes 44:55, 56:05, 01:05:50Diving down to those conspiratorial rabbit holes is very much like an addiction and there’s some kind of elitism that is leading into events. Our society is built on the manipulation of symbols. The more you investigate any conspiracy theory, the more truer it becomes. That’s the danger when you philosophize everything. However, it’s also not an excuse to not do anything and be an aloof to everything. There’s always something to do that makes sense regardless of the actual accuracy of the theory. Conspiracy theories invite us to look beyond the spectacle.“All of these beliefs correspond to a state of being.”Making stories, intuition and conscious decisions 01:12:56Our next stage as a species is not to be finally free of stories and belief systems. What is mostly uniquely human about human beings, is that we create stories. These stories create roles for us to occupy. In the near time, stories order things and our creativity. If you haven’t experienced a miracle in your life, that doesn’t mean you are less evolved. We need people to develop the inner strength and the muscle of faith that doesn’t receive much nourishment.   “It’s not about total liberation. For me, it’s about what’s next.”Perspective on Inspired Evolution 01:34:53Inspired Evolution is about witnessing people who are more evolved than you are. It stirs inspiration and awakens a part of the self that is ready for that evolution. It shows the possibilities of what you are about to become. Everybody you meet can offer that to you because everybody in the world has a fully realized Buddha except yourself. “The whole world is set up for your enlightenment. “Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://bit.ly/inspiredevoWebsite: https://inspiredevolution.com/    Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Life is about the constant pursuit of change and finding difference. Whilst the ability to create difference is a great gift that we as beings have.“It’s about opening to different possibilities…”    The Clearing StatementYou’re the energy moving through your body. Using the clearing statement will unlock anything that you’ve locked into places. It takes away the only-choice system and puts in place total possibility. This gives you a place where you actually know. Total knowing is a whole different universe. When you answer from a question’s point of view, you’d always have more choices. If you spent your life experiencing everything instead of trying to understand it, how much more of a life would you have? “Right and Wrong, Good and Bad, POD and POC, All 9, Shorts, Boys and Beyonds”  The essence of knowing You as a being sense thing, while the body feels things. When you function from questions instead of answers, you start looking at different possibilities. When you go against what you know, everything shows up with more resistance and difficulty. You have to overcome obstacles rather than having obstacles melt in front of you and get to the point of trusting yourself more.“Whatever you choose, it creates your world.” What is this? What do I do with it? Can I change it? And if so how do I change it? If logic would work, then we wouldn’t have any problem. But when logic isn’t making it work, then what will? Finally understanding something means that you’re probably standing under somebody else’s idea. Understanding is equal to standing under. By taking that point of view with everything, you will begin to see how people come to conclusions that are not based on facts all the time. If you work from conclusions, you’d always end up missing something.“Your experience determines how you see the world.”Conscious choices and limiting beliefs Choice is what creates. Everytime you’ve chosen something, you’ve opened the door to different possibilities. These possibilities give you inspiration for your contribution to the universe. The universe will do everything it can to take care of you. What you were today is not gonna make a difference 500 years from now, but the choice you made might. You should also be willing to create the future. That’s the path your choice creates and the way for you to get to the world you’d like to have. “Connect to a deeper sense of choice and what your choice creates.”Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvol...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolu...Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/    Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Our guests for this week is Dr. Shefali Tsabary, clinical psychologist and a widely acclaimed author of The Conscious ParentAbout Dr. Shefali Tsabary Author, wisdom teacher, clinical psychologist and international speaker, Dr. Shefali Tsabary is an integrator of the east and west. She’s a leader in the field of mindfulness psychology combining clinical psychology and eastern mindfulness. Dr. Shefali is also a remarkable international speaker sharing her message on conscious parenting and mindful living. Her NY Times best-sellers list include “Out of Control” and “The Awakened Family”.The Art of Conscious Parenting: How Healing Your “Inner Child” Is The Path To Raising Resilient, Confident & Fulfilled Children accessible with a Mindvalley All Access PassAustralian tour dates 2020:Sydney 22 JulyMelbourne 24 JulyConnect with Dr. Shefali Tsabary Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrShefaliTsabary/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorshefali/Website: https://drshefali.com/Conscious parenting and what it’s all aboutConscious parenting is doing your own work. We would need to heal ourselves constantly with children teaching and showing us more stuff about ourselves that we aren’t even aware of. It’s always helpful to invest in unearthing childhood to be able to understand the personal triggers in parenting.“... [awareness] is key in every part of our lives… and the most in parenting because children trigger you in your inner child, and your inner child is stuff left over from your childhood which was very primitive and unsophisticated …”                 Level of conditioning and clinical psychologyChildren are like sponges and there’s such beauty and innocence to childhood. However, because a child can be so infiltrated to take in whatever unconscious culture their direct environment puts them in, these unconscious institutional attachments are often worn as masks in order to survive. These same prescription checklists can obscure who the child might have been without them. “... And that’s why many of us fall apart in our 40’s, when our children then grow up ... and we go “who am I?”. That's a hitting block, because there is a pause where it's then called the middle life crisis for good reason, because it’s a crisis of identity.” Holding space for a child from parental projectionsProjections are always going to happen at some point, but doing internal work will help parents catch themselves more. One would begin to question themselves with all the doctrines and mandates that a person is unconsciously subscribed to. The more work you do the more you unlayer yourself. To awaken is to understand that we’ve been putting pressures to ourselves to live this false self that doesn’t work for us anymore. You should let go all the false self. So you are awakened to a greater degree. “When you begin to awaken and begin to emancipate yourself, you very much don’t want to enslave anyone else…”Conversations on fear and loving unconditionallyWe come closest to loving unconditionally with our children. Loving unconditionally is very difficult. To love unconditionally is to love without owning. Unconditional love is freedom. However, nowadays experimentations at home have been opening up. With partners mirroring is just one level, but it is something totally unprecedented with children. Children live in a different time zone. They live in the present moments, while adults live in the past and future. Children don’t know that and that’s why adults get upset with them. “...The real love of a child or another human being is to love the essence which is to really love them with no real agenda of your own…” Pursuit to happiness and the hustleThe pursuit to happiness is an illusion because to pursue it as an energy is running after that desire. Which means you are feeling the lack. If you feel in lack and do something out of lack, we realise we have this restless hustling energy. But at some point it’s important to be more of an attractor and do work and shine with it. This is something you have to evolve to, and people need to go through the whole hustling process to be able to achieve such grounding.“... there’s no need for conflict if you accept that it’s bound to be different, when you expect it to be different you’re not disappointed.” Perception on Inspire EvolutionInspired evolution is not robotic evolution that happens on its own. It is taking evolution consciously and really taking it into your own hands. To carve your own destiny as much as you can and put your intention behind is the real essence of being inspired in evolution.“Keep it simple, you’d always be pleased…”Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvol...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolu...Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Our guests for this week are Regan Hillyer & JuanPa BarahonaRegan Hillyer created a powerful Manifestation Training to help you call the life you crave to become your new reality. About Regan Hillyer & JuanPa BarahonaRegan Hillyer and Juan Pablo Barahona (JuanPa) multi-millionaire power-couple who are embodiments of divine union and soulful relationships. As international speakers, transformational leaders, mindset coaches and philanthropists, this blissful union has created several business ventures and charitable causes. They travel the world to speak and provide healing and personal development and relationships. They have also launched the dynamic book The Abundance Codes. First meeting and attracting what you’re meant for From finding that center of being and going through a self-healing journey, to finding that once in a lifetime soul connection. The universe in itself can reveal so many things that are within and beyond our control all at the same time. And it’s up to us to jump in the trance and commit to ourselves as we attract the things that we deserve. Tap into that frequency and be clear on what you desire. “We gotta let go and surrender and everything we think we know.” Trust what you’re manifestingGo beyond the vibration of trust and open yourself on what your mind is set to. Tap into the divine truth and start that inner work. Relationships can be the biggest reflection of all your beliefs and concepts of everything. Find that soul vibration in a wisdom level and remember to commit to who you are and what you deserve.  “It’s not about the outside, it’s really all about that inner work. Commit into that inner work, go and dig and release those doubts. Whatever comes in the way, release that and transform it into these vibrations of knowing which comes from the soul.”  Love and ForgivenessDig deep into that mirror dance reflection of love and relationship. Open yourself to that person who can enhance your flight and help you feel safe from your vulnerability. Look at your fears, doubt and self love. The mirror in divine union is one of the greatest gifts you will ever receive. And if you are someone who's committed to your own journey and your own evolution and ascension and self mastery, it’s one of the important tools we’ve found to actually see yourself and evolve. But the mirror comes with great responsibility as well.“if you are someone who's committed to your own journey and your own evolution and ascension and self mastery, it’s one of the important tools we’ve found to actually see yourself and evolve.”How do my partner navigate with projected limitations of myself?Respond, react and open your heart as you share from a humble space. Don’t speak from anger and be very conscious not to burn everything around you. When you come from a humble space, you recognize your vulnerability. Allow the other person to question themselves naturally and let them share from the heart. “...it’s very beautiful how indirectly we are helping each other without touching ego. We’re not going through ego, we’re going directly from heart to heart. Ego is almost bypassed and almost burned because we’re not acknowledging ego or responding from ego.”The power of manifestation and one’s sexual energyLearn what true manifestation really is and look into that energy with yourself. We all have sexual energy, it’s a life energy. Tap into that vibration and start using it with visualization, emotion, intention and inner mastery. “When we tap into this sexual energy and we expand our capacity to manifest our magnetism coming from within, that’s when manifestation happens.” Their take on Inspire EvolutionInspired evolution is the natural state of every human being. Find that thing that you need to tap on to release in order to live in inspired evolution. The surrender and allowing of the spirit to come through you in order to inspire and evolve.  “Cos lIfe itself is always an evolution, it’s an inspiration.”                  Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvol...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolu...Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

As a career technologist who works for Salesforce and several other companies in the financial service and health industries, Clyde helps organisations and stakeholders connect through reimagined platforms and systems. He has been successful in sharing his perspectives on a broad range of topics like "The future of the work", "How to succeed in a constantly growing VUCA world" and "Why Equity & Ethics matter, now more than ever".Connect with the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: www.facebook.com/inspiredevolutionInstagram: www.instagram.com/inspiredevoWebsite: www.inspiredevolution.comTune In: Gratitude and Recognizing That We Are Social BeingTraversing in this current paradigm and being in a lockdown is an amazing opportunity to recognize that we are social beings. It’s the best time realign our goals and identify processes on how to best support each other’s well-being. It is important to practice gratitude and can-do attitude to be able to successfully cope through these trying times.“ We are all capable of all things given the right circumstance”Servant Leadership and How to Lead in ServiceLeadership in service so others can be in their best, is the ultimate goal of a servant leader. Listen to people and make them feel that they are working in a psychologically safe environment. Being dedicated to the success of the employees’ will resonate positive productivity and amazing customer experience. Thus, a successful organization or business is always driven by happy, secure and fearless employees. “Get your people feeling amazing and they would do amazing things.”The Connection Between Leadership and Well-BeingHave a growth mindset and always strive for learning. Create a circle of safety to encourage learning. It’s also equally important to have fun to drive energy and passion within. Establish trust, customer success, innovation, and equality. In organizations, it’s important for leaders to value people more than crunching numbers and charts on the board. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever- Mahatma Gandhi”Importance of Compassion and Empathy in LeadershipCompassion, empathy and presence are important leadership characters. Make sure that everyone has an opportunity and a voice by providing them the right environment to feel and express their thoughts. Everybody can be a leader, but leadership and management are two different things. Management is often efficiency driven, while leadership is an optimization driver. Optimize the environment and systems so you could be the hero of your story.  “Begin with yourself because I promise you one thing, there’s a person who would thank you for that. You know who that is, your future self.”Disruption Towards Emerging Female Leadership and Gender BalanceThe emergence of female leaders has become a necessary shift nowadays. The difference between men and women is tendencies in mentality. Men have a scarcity mentality built into their DNA, while women are collaborative and ask questions. By tradition women are community builders. They could make the pipe bigger instead of fighting over.“What we need in this world are amazing, creative thinkers. One of the best ways to drive creativity is diversity thought. One of the best ways to drive diversity of thought is set balance… get that gender balance.” Leadership Advice to the Younger GenerationThe measure of success is in the results. Live in harmony by recognizing that amazing person in your life who gives more without asking anything in return. Then give back by giving without question. Recognize the most productive stage of your life and seize your own power. Make decisions with your heart and execute with your head. Be passionate about what you do and look for the right timing. Timing is everything.“Have every single one of the little goals amount to something great. Start small but do it everyday.”Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Kamal Ravikant on Self Love - How to Love Yourself like your Life Depends on ItKamal Ravikant is the best-selling author of the profound phenomenon called “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It”. Book available here.Kamal is a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur and co-founder of several companies and once served as an infantry soldier in the US Army. After a decade of growing his company he came to a sudden challenging downfall, which led to a depression. “If I was depressed, that was a good day” Kamal reflects. As he became physically ill and bed-ridden he touched a turning point that would change his life forever.  His transformational journey began with a vow he made to himself to “Love his self”. This grew into a meditation practice and a system of tools towards spiritual healing. This practice paved the way into a self-published book that has continued to have a profound impact on millions of readers. “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It” is a powerful story that is at the heart of self-development and spiritual growth that shares simple practical life-changing practices and habits.Connect the Inspired Evolution Community: Facebook: www.facebook.com/inspiredevolutionInstagram: www.instagram.com/inspiredevoWebsite: www.inspiredevolution.comA society where we can’t love ourselvesPeople confuse loving ourselves as narcissism, where it’s actually the opposite. Narcissists are in fact very insecure and damaged people who are focused on a certain perspective. While loving yourself is acknowledging and focusing on your strengths when life hits you hard.“What is depression? What is hating ourselves? That’s just the sword pointing inward, versus taking the same sword pointing in a different direction.”Rock-bottom moment that took the turnWhen everything that matters to a person’s ego falls apart, it is a very vulnerable moment. One can easily lose sight of the bigger picture and one’s self. The biggest turn comes when we reach our breaking point and all that’s left is for us to decide whether we’ll carry on or let go. The problems start from the mind, and the solution is also from the mind - within.“Where it came from was a moment where you reach that breaking point, it was like either you break or you decide no more.”Intense relationship with commitmentWhen you make a commitment, you have to do it. Give it your best shot. Especially when your back is against the wall. In this moment you truly have nothing to lose. Life aligns us in the most surprising ways, failure can sometimes be the only way for us to discover how to succeed.“I was working on the craft, but I didn’t have the heart.”Identifying the choices and working on the solutionEmbracing failure and making that commitment is not just about surrender and awareness, but more of a resolution towards “I’m doing this to get better”. You only surrender because you don’t have a choice. But outside of that line is the perspective that we always have a choice, no matter how worse the situation is.“That one thing that we always have a choice on is to work on our inside world… As long as we’re breathing, that choice is ours… That is the one choice that can literally change everything...”Recovery and how contributing to something than you is both inspiring and healing.Kamal’s deeply personal journey of recovery and how this book he created helped him not just in the practices from within the book, but also holding space for him as he created the book - to have a reason to pull through - to share this with the world.. His gift to the world is his story of how one’s strength can conquer the pain and how the mind can become our biggest weapon.“I had something to put out to the world that I’m still here and I have to give it my all.”How to make a commitment to self. And building a practiceComfort and laziness are common human nature. It usually takes a big leap before we can truly awaken from all the worldly distractions. Challenging life moments often create breakthroughs. Tune in to learn how Kamal recommends to look inwards with introspection and how to then make a commitment. We discuss the mindset of building a nourishing practice.“Real growth comes from introspection. Have the courage to walk that path.” Staying committed.Commitment doesn’t have to be perfect, it means you decide what you want and do it again and again. Sometimes you’re great at it, sometimes less so. Stay with it. Commitments develop habits. Your commitment to yourself is a pure sacred act. Commitment to self and executing on that commitment consistently is the most profound and legitimate way to build self worth and thus self-confidence. It’s the easiest hack to self-confidence.“Commitment doesn’t require you to be perfect. This just requires you to get back and do it after you fail - your human.” Self Worth.Learn to see failure in a different light. Identify the difference between being reactive and proactive. The person you become once you start to commit to yourself is special and people will sense that in you. Transformation comes from being proactive inside. It’s a spiritual work. Your job is whenever you’re in darkness, clean your window and let the light in.How to Love Yourself - The Practice.Learn how to forgive yourself, let go and then make a vow. The whole practice of committing to yourself will eventually make you realise your feelings. A shift is possible. Simple mindfulness based concepts such as 10-deep purposeful breaths reciting “I Love Myself” or breathing in light 1-5 times a day. Helps re-write the mental patterns that don’t serve us. Life really is from the inside out - let’s cultivate a practice and start focusing on what serves us.  “Making that commitment to yourself is a sacred act.”How to make decisions based on Self Love.A powerful question to ask yourself in vital in times is:“If I loved myself what would I do?”Asking this question helps us integrate Self Love into our decision making and thus our day-to-day living. We are responsible for the choices we make. This helps us shift our choices towards what serve us.EnthusiasmEnthusiasm is a language beyond words and is the essence of self-love.Kamal Ravikant on what is an Inspired EvolutionBreath of God from the source of reality, if you come from that place it's bigger than you.

In this episode, I sat down with Celebrity Nutrition Expert and Fitness Hall of Famer, JJ Virgin. JJ has launched over 10 businesses, is a 2-time Inc 5000 Founder, and is recognized as an authority on transformational leadership, a Top Ten Finalist for the John C. Maxwell Award, as well as winner of the Mindshare Summit Pinnacle award. Her current endeavors include Founder of The Mindshare Collaborative, the most influential professional community in health.Book available HERE.She also founded her successful personal brand, JJ Virgin & Associates, as well as co-founding The Unicorn Club, a group for women entrepreneurs with 7- to 9-figure businesses. JJ is a prominent TV and media personality, whose previous features include co-host of TLC’s Freaky Eaters, 2 years as the on-camera nutritionist for Weight Loss Challenges on Dr. Phil, and numerous appearances on PBS, Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, Access Hollywood, and the TODAY Show. She speaks regularly and has shared the stage with notables including Seth Godin, Lisa Nichols, Gary Vaynerchuk, Mark Hyman, Dan Buettner, and Mary Morrissey. JJ is the author of four NY Times bestsellers: The Virgin Diet, The Virgin Diet Cookbook, JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet, and JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet Cookbook. Her book, Warrior Mom: 7 Secrets to Bold, Brave Resilience, shows mothers everywhere how to be strong, positive leaders for their families, while exploring the inspirational lessons JJ learned as she fought for her own son's life. JJ also hosts two popular podcasts, Mindcast for health experts and entrepreneurs and Reignite Wellness with health tips for consumers, with over 5.5 million downloads and counting. She teaches her clients how to break through food and carb intolerances, so they can finally lose the weight to transform their health and their lives. She also regularly writes for Rodale Wellness, Mind Body Green, and other major blogs and magazines. Her most important role is as mom of two budding entrepreneurial young men.Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll hear:JJ’s lifelong obsession with nutrition and healthy eating. Growing up engaged in the theater world got her really interested in the nutrition space to stay healthy and fit for her dancing career. She shifted from teaching dance and calisthenics to settle on aerobics, and that’s how she ended up becoming a personal trainer when there wasn’t even a name for it. It’s in that space that she really quickly realized that someone cannot out-exercise a bad diet and so she had to dive deeper into studying nutrition. Find out more at 02:40You know how we all think that if someone wants to lose weight they need to eat less, exercise more, and create a 500 calorie deficit, and all that? Well, that’s all wrong and JJ will bust that untruth big time. How to successfully lose weight boils down to weight training to build more muscle which requires more energy to be on the body and improves insulin sensitivity, and also enables the body to burn fat much more easily. Go to 06:05 to learn more about that.Why grazing is super rotten for you. If you want to be younger and live longer, you have to have good insulin sensitivity, and JJ couldn’t stress this enough. When you eat, your body’s blood sugar goes up and your pancreas secretes insulin to bring blood sugar back down because when it’s up it’s toxic to your body. If not properly balanced, it all leads to diabetes, weight gain, and all around unhealthiness. Here’s a tip JJ shares, “Try getting a little hungry and if you feel hungry, take some water, and wait. Then when you get really hungry, eat something” Listen in at 09:53 for some more enlightenment on that.The Virgin Diet and how it helps in losing weight. There are a lot of things that cause weight loss resistance (the inability to lose weight) including genetics, menopause, thyroid problems, stress, lack of sleep, and gut issues. One of the ways to lose weight is by figuring out your hidden food intolerances from leaky gut. You can also try intermittent fasting or a ketogenic diet, but you have to get ready for it gradually instead of starting immediately. Go to 18:32 to get all the actionable advice from JJ on how to lose weight by figuring out your food intolerances.The 7 foods that you should avoid if you wanna lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Gluten is the worst culprit of them all. It makes you more insulin resistant, makes your gut more leaky, and is just horrendously bad for your blood sugar, your gut, and of course, keeps you from losing any weight . Another culprit at the top of the list is dairy and eggs especially because we get factory processed dairy products and eggs. The best way to go when it comes to those two foods is to get them from grass fed or pastured animals. Goat or sheep’s milk is also much better than cow’s milk. Learn more about the rest of the foods you should avoid at 30:55.Working on your longest term relationship; your relationship with food. One of the most important things you can do to adopt better eating habits is to connect the dots between what you eat, how you feel, and what you weigh. And JJ’s virgin diet will help you do just that by helping you design an eating program that will work for you in the long haul.

In this episode, I had a chat with Lisa Winston about how she overcame insurmountable odds to learn how to go deeper and surrender to what is, and build a relationship with her intuition. Lisa is a gifted vocalist, intuitive mindset strategist, #1 international bestselling author of “Your Turning Point,” TV host and inspirational speaker. A life of extreme challenges, including losing her home to wildfire and breast cancer, made her hungry for a deeper connection to Source and determined to find her true calling. Book available HERE.Lisa has produced many influential global summits and is also featured on online summits, national radio, podcasts and trainings. Late 2019, she was featured on her first magazine cover for The Global Voice. She co-hosts and produces The Mindset Reset TV Show, a weekly series which reaches millions worldwide. Lisa is so grateful to be mom to her beautiful daughter, Sarah, and to live, teach, and speak across the globe with her soulmate and life partner, Dr. Joe Vitale. She enjoys sharing the message that life is always happening for you and challenges are sent to refine, not define you. Stay tuned to learn how your intuition can help you get through the dark times we’re living in now and go on to achieve your biggest desires in life. Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll hear:How losing her house to a wild fire in just 10 minutes and being diagnosed with breast cancer two months later taught her how to die to self, only for life to hit her again with the loss of her parents. A ton of other challenging things have happened in her life, but the last straw was when she collapsed and was diagnosed with neuro lyme disease that she had had for 50 years, but was only getting hit by it because her immune system had gone down. Talk about life pushing you to the breaking point. Go to 02:22 to learn how she came out of that dark time to get to a deeper place of surrender.The power of awareness and GIVING IN to the things that suck the joy out of our lives instead of just GIVING UP. That’s what surrender is all about. Because with surrender, we still have the power to choose where we go from whatever difficult situation we’re in, so we can come out of it stronger. Find out more at 05:45.The difficult transformation we’re going through right now and why we shouldn’t allow ourselves to go into victim mode. While it’s critical to stay productive during this time, you don't have to be perfect at it. You can sit back and just be, and allow yourself to feel whatever emotions are flowing in you. Lisa sees the current pandemic as a painful transformation that we have to embrace as something that’s happening for us rather than against us. Hear more on that at 10:11Lisa’s point of view on attachment is super mind blowing. We as human beings get so attached to the people in our lives and everything that we have, and it’s near impossible to let go of that attachment, but the best way to let go of those attachments is to view the people and the things as gifts that we’ve been given for a limited time. None of us are going to leave this life with any of the people and things we have, so what’s the point of holding on? Right? Hear more at 20:23Saying yes and walking intuitively through listening to your inner guidance. Why is that necessary you ask? Because your inner guidance will never steer you wrong. A lot of us don’t listen to our inner guidance (intuition) and that makes us miss out on a lot of gifts that could come our way. Start by saying yes to your possibilities and opportunities, and you’ll witness tons of synchronicities working towards getting where you need to be.

The internet for example is a very intuitive model where we draw resources simultaneously from all parts of the world. In an interview of 100 of the top CEOs in the world, the CEOs were asked what they attributed their success to and they all said their intuition, but they all admitted that they wouldn’t want that to be public knowledge. All that is changing now because intuition is an essential tool in today’s world. “Intuition is an essential tool in today’s world” - Sonia ChoquetteIntuition Versus InstinctThere are three levels of intuition, namely, red light intuition, green light intuition, and yellow light intuition. Red light intuition is instinct, the part of us that is oriented towards survival. That is where we get bad vibes and feelings in our gut. Instinct is how a lot of people experience intuition for the first time. Green light intuition is the opportunity intuition where someone feels something is a good idea and they go for it even when everyone advises against taking the risk. The yellow light or pause intuition is what causes us to wait before making a move on something. The red light is in our belly, the green light in our heart, and the yellow light is just a general inability to lock into any strong feeling. The way that someone can tap into their intuition is by feeling physically.“Intuition is not language, it’s energy” - Sonia ChoquetteEnding the Elusiveness of IntuitionUntil the age of reason, intuition was very prevalent, but science and technology kicked in and brought about patriarchy where external father figures told people how to live their lives. Personal self direction was discouraged and attacke, but over time that system has been imploding and people have been slowly realizing that blindly following others is no guarantee that life will be good and as expected. With the current Coronavirus pandemic, the whole system has now collapsed, and the only way forward is for people to go back to “self”. The intuitive system that will come up will be all about collaboration and co-creation. Intuition will likely become a part of our new value system and will even be introduced in schools.“Intuition will become a main part of our new value system” - Sonia ChoquetteSpirit as Intuition’s GuideSpirit is not about religion. It’s the life force that we are, the divine part of us, and the holy essence that gives each human being an existence. That spirit energy that we all share is holy and it’s our guiding light. Everywhere in the world, everybody understands what spirit is because it’s our essence.“Religion is an outer form of thinking imposed upon us” - Sonia ChoquetteIntuition and AuthenticityThere’s a parallel between the two that most people cannot draw. Authenticity, which comes from the word author, is all about the individual writing the script of their life and creating their story, while intuition on the other hand means “inner teacher” which means that our inner self is our resource of learning and guiding. The world is depressed right now because we have abandoned ourselves and trusted external authorities.“Depression is a gift to alert us that we have migrated away from our true nature” - Sonia ChoquetteHer Big Aha with Intuition  Intuition has always come naturally to her and the moment she realized it was unique to her was when she went to school. She also got a lot of it from her family because her mother was very intuitive and one’s intuition in their family was considered the most important check-in point. She has always felt vibes and been aware of spirit guides. Realizing everyone was not as intuitive as her, she felt challenged to help people learn how they can be intuitive so they can create a better life for themselves. “You can’t get by very well without your intuition, you need it, it’s not negotiable” - Sonia ChoquetteThe Meaning of Inspired EvolutionSonia will refer to the meaning of Inspire (To pull your spirit in) and Evolution (To improve, get better, and go to the next level), and so she therefore feels that an inspired evolution means pulling our spirit in, going to the next level of expression, and creating from the spirit without limiting it. “Let the spirit take over and see how beautiful your life can be” - Sonia ChoquetteSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Our guest this week is Neale Donald Walsch, an actor, screenwriter, speaker, and the author of the series “Conversations with God”. Book available HERE.About NealeNeale is a modern day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before experiencing his now famous conversation with God. The Conversations with God series of books that emerged from those encounters has been translated into 37 languages, touching millions and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives.Neale has written 29 books on spirituality and its practical application in everyday life. Titles in the With God series include: Conversations with God, Books 1-3; Friendship with God; Communion with God; The New Revelations; Tomorrow’s God; What God Wants; and Home with God. Seven of the books in that series reached the New York Times Bestseller List, CWG-Book 1 occupying that list for over two-and-a-half years. In order to deal with the enormous response to his writings, Neale has created several outreach projects, including the CWG Foundation, CWG for Parents, Humanity’s Team, the CWG Helping Outreach, and The Global Conversation, all accessible at the “hub” website www.CWGPortal.com, and all dedicated to help the world move from violence to peace, from confusion to clarity, and from anger to love.Neale's work has taken him from the steps of Macchu Picchu in Peru to the steps of the Shinto shrines of Japan, from Red Square in Moscow to St. Peter's Square in Vatican City to Tiananmen Square in China. And everywhere he has gone, from South Africa to Norway, Croatia to The Netherlands, the streets of Zurich to the streets of Seoul, Neale has experienced a hunger among the people to find a new way to live, at last, in peace and harmony, and he has sought to bring people a new understanding of life and of God which would allow them to experience that.Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/In this Episode We Canvas:The Biggest Problem That we Face Today People see outcomes but they don’t know what the cause of the outcomes is, and that in itself is the biggest problem in the world today. We all, for example, know that our civilization won’t start moving in the direction that we would like it to move in, but we don’t know why. The fallout from that though is alienation, and it’s visible all over the world in such enormous magnitudes even during the current Coronavirus pandemic when we are all supposed to be united. Neale feels that at some higher level, the force of alienation and unity are meeting face to face at the same time for a reason that has to do with the evolution of our species.   “The biggest problem in the world today is that most people don’t know what the biggest problem in the world today is” - Neale Donald WalschAlienation’s Role in Ensuring ConnectionAlienation is absolutely necessary for connection to take place because we as human beings cannot develop the desire for connection unless we experience the lack of it through a certain level of widespread alienation and all the negative impact that comes with it.“In the absence of what we are not, what we are cannot be experienced” - Neale Donald WalschOur Decision in Our Evolution Through self awareness, we become decision makers and have a key role to play in the process by which we evolve because we are aware of what is going on with us, in us, as us, and through us, in every moment of our lives, and we can make decisions that affect that experience. In order to make those decisions, we must choose between a number of choices that are based on four fundamental questions, namely, Who am I?, Where am I?, Why am I where I am?, and What do I intend to do about my answer to the third question? A lot of people don’t know who they are or why they’re here because they don’t even attempt to ask the four questions. “Evolution is not a process that happens to us, it’s a process that happens through us” - Neale Donald WalschShift HappensThe current shift that’s taking place, especially due to the pandemic we’re experiencing, has pushed people towards asking the four fundamental questions because they are seeing things as they know them changing in ways they could have never thought possible. Human beings as a species are now gathering the truth and growing.  “We’re taking larger swallows from the serum of ultimate reality” - Neale Donald WalschSpeaking as the Mouthpiece of GodAnyone can speak as the mouthpiece of God because nobody is separate from the divine. Neale highlights that God puts words into his mouth just as much as he does into the mouths of others, and that happens in the form of inspiration. Inspiration is all about one declaring and announcing concepts and ideas that they believe in their heart to be true, and that they believe in their heart to have been inspired by the divine.  “Wouldn’t be interesting if God never stopped speaking to us” - Neale Donald WalschUnconditional LoveDoing unto others as we would like done unto us is a simple tool that we can all use to integrate unconditional love into our daily expression of love. Another way of doing it is by questioning a choice before we make it and asking ourselves what it has to do with the agenda of our individual soul. That puts the choice in a brand new context and so one longer considers it as they had done initially. “God doesn’t leave the room when we’re at our worst” - Neale Donald WalschBelieves are Synonymous Without SpiritualitySpirituality is just a larger word for belief, and it’s a word we use when we want to talk about our most sacred beliefs. Even though we may not realize, a lot of our spiritual beliefs unconsciously dictate the actions, choices, and decisions we make in our everyday life. Neale feels that even though there has been the issue of our spiritual and religious beliefs being instilled in us without our full understanding, we must acknowledge that they have taught us a lot of true things about life and deity. He highlights that it’s time to look at all the fundamental elements of our world's religions to see what it is we don't understand because that could change everything.“It’s time to take a close look at the fundamental elements of our world’s religions to see if there is something we don't fully understand, the understanding of which would change everything” - Neale Donald WalschInspired Evolution To NealeInspired evolution to Neale means evolution based on our here and now experience and our here and now highest desire. It’s not based on our understandings from the past. We have to be willing to let go of our understandings from the past, not to abandon them but to temporarily release them and then re-evaluate them to see which ones are worthy to be held on to. A great example of how we question our beliefs is how we question our oneness by thinking that we are separate from each other, when in reality we are a single entity simply expressing in individual parts.“Evolution is the process by which we really step into our here and now highest thoughts and grandest desires about tomorrow” - Neale Donald WalschSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.
