Listen on:
Hey everyone. I am John the one on the left and Henry is the one on the right. We have both suffered with Anxiety, Depression and I with OCD. We are 2 everyday guys who have a fresh take on life , that if your willing can take you beyond the thinking mind and give you a glimpse of that peace we all have access to. What started out as afternoon conversations over coffee gave birth to this crazy idea of making a podcast in hopes we can reach out and be that relatable voice for others. I have gone thru traditional therapy and have been on more spiritual journey for some time now. I have been advocating and practicing for over 7 years bringing my experience to the table. Along with Henry we will start shining a light on that presence behind thought that we all have but most don't see.

They reflect on their own experiences with Christmas and how their perspectives have evolved over time. They emphasize the need to look past the superficial and connect with others on a deeper level and the importance of mindfulness in navigating the challenges of modern life.

Today we explore the topic of intrusive thoughts and their impact on all individuals, and particularly those with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We discuss the role of awareness in diffusing intrusive thoughts and how and why some feel different than others. We all experience these anxious thoughts and if left unchecked they can dictate the way you live your life which most times will be seeking safety as opposed to living your life.

I can see why people are skeptics on manifestation. I told the universe I needed this and reinforce I need it every day but nothing yet. Why is the universe not listening? or is the question what am i doing wrong and maybe I am not listening properly? Listen in today as we discuss the approach many take when it comes to manifesting what they want in life and what that really even means.

Manifesting has been a term widely used by many people and sometimes it gets a bad wrap. People tend to believe that when someone says manifest it into reality , they perceive this to mean think it, want it and it will happen. Umm , no thats not how it works . Manifesting is changing our reality from the inside out. Once we align the body and mind things start to change. Its pointless to say one thing(like wanting to lose weight and get healthy) and believe the negative thought the mind reacts with(its to hard it easier to just eat the cake). Actually its the body reacting in conditioned ways thats influencing our thoughts. The body likes that state its in because thats what it knows and will send signals it wants to stay as is which become those negative thoughts. Being AWARE the body will want to stay cozy and comfortable- is the key from saying we want it to seeing it happen. That awareness allows us to not follow the bodies creature comforts and keep that goal as our pointer and direction. Listen in as we get into manifesting and how awareness is a key ingredient.

Acceptance . What does it really mean? The perception is that acceptance means giving in, not taking action, saying it is what it is? While it does mean surrendering to the moment , that does not mean giving up or not working towards a better situation. Surrendering to the moment means truly accepting the moment as it is as if you had chosen it and then moving consciously towards a better situation. You can't trick yourself by saying you accept something, while your fingers are crossed and you are wishing it has not happened or need it to be absolutely different then it is. When we are in true acceptance there is a lightness, a space and air around what is happening. It does not mean you like it but you are not resisting it. Enjoy .
