Awakening to Trust with The Teachers through Carol Collins - Episode 117

“Source energy consciousness, universal forces, infinite intelligence, Beings that are . . . you can increase the positivity of your life simply by retraining the mind to focus on happy endings, happy beginnings and happy everything-in-between.”— through Carol Collins channeler for The Teachers and America’s Medium 
 
Within each of us lies a wellspring of intuitive wisdom, a quiet knowing that often gets drowned out by the daily clamor.  This is the essence of trusting our own knowing – the ability to tap into that inner voice and recognize its subtle nudges and whispers.
 
Join Lisa and Michael for a conversation with Carol and the Teachers for an insightful conversation on the power of trust to enable our life to manifest properly.  We have endless opportunities for choice on a daily basis and knowing which choices are best for us takes discernment. Discernment acts as a filter, sifting through the noise and amplifying the whispers of our higher selves. It allows us to distinguish genuine intuition from fleeting desires or conditioned fears. Honing this discernment is key to becoming better listeners to our guides, both internal and external. 
Carol and the Teachers share ways we can cultivate this powerful connection. Trusting our own knowing isn’t about blind faith; it’s about cultivating a sense of inner dialogue. As we become a better listeners to our intuition,  we’ll find ourselves aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions with the desires we wish to manifest. This journey of self-discovery isn’t always linear. There will be times of doubt and moments when the signal seems faint. But with consistent practice and a willingness to listen, we’ll find the voice within growing stronger, leading us down a path of empowered manifestation.

Liberating the Energy of Choice - Episode 116

“Heaven on earth is a choice you must make, not a place we must find.” — Wayne Dyer
We have all experienced the challenge of feeling stuck in loop, as if we are going through the motions stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. We find ourselves acting from habitual responses and feelings that can keep us feeling as if we are held captive. Imagine a powerful battery, drained by the constant hum of negativity and a focus on what’s “wrong” with life. Now, stop for a moment, to consider our bodies as giant antennas whose signal has been disrupted by emotional static  of dwelling on past disappointments or anxieties about the future. But it is possible to liberate ourselves from the loop and transform our experience entirely through the energy of choice.
 
On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore liberating the energy of choice as a profound journey towards understanding and utilizing the immense power we possess within ourselves to shape our reality.
We will be delving into how utilizing the energy of choice can retrain the body to broadcast a new signature through aligning our thoughts, emotions, and actions with the frequencies of abundance, love, joy and possibility. This alignment opens up a channel to the infinite field of possibilities, where our intentions can manifest into reality. It involves a conscious decision to resonate at a higher vibrational frequency, thereby attracting circumstances and opportunities that reflect this new state of being. 
We will be sharing why focusing on the present moment, acknowledging difficulties but refusing to dwell on them enables us to retrain our antenna. When we choose gratitude, appreciation, and a childlike wonder at the possibilities that lie ahead, our shift in focus broadcasts a whole new signature to the infinite field of possibilities, attracting opportunities that align with our newfound joy. Embracing the energy of choice opens our energy as a powerful tool for creation. As Albert Einstein said, “The energy released by the atom is but a shadow of the gigantic energy that awaits liberation.” It’s the key to unlocking a life overflowing with the infinite possibilities and boundless potential available to us all!

The Extraordinary Adventure Awaits - Episode 115

“Life is an adventure, so go out there and explore!”  — Unknown
It has been said that, “Adventure isn’t always found at the end of the road; sometimes it’s just around the corner.” On this episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore transforming everyday life into an adventure beginning with a shift in perspective, seeing the ordinary through a lens of curiosity and wonder.
We invite you to ask yourself the big question, “Why choose the ordinary when the extraordinary is within reach?” Louise Hay beautifully captures this sentiment: “Life is not meant to be a struggle. It is meant to be a joyous, creative adventure.” We often create boundaries in our minds, believing that some experiences are beyond our reach but each of us has the freedom to choose to go beyond these often self-imposed limitations. In order to go beyond the perception of limitation and explore all that life has to offer, we must cultivate a mindset of openness and adventure. This means being willing to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, choosing activities and relationships that nourish our souls, and finding joy in the simple things.
We will be delving into how every day holds the potential for an adventure especially when we embrace the journey of life with an open heart and mind. Discover why choosing to see the magic in the mundane, can enable us to create a reality that reflects the highest expression of who we are and what we came to be. It is in the richness of everyday experiences that we find the true essence of adventure. When we choose to live each day filled with joy, appreciating the beauty in the small, everyday moments, we open the door to a life filled with infinite possibilities of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary!

The Unifying Power of Sound - Episode 114

“Music acts like a key to which the most tightly closed heart opens.” — Maria Von Trapp
Long before words were strung together, our ancestors discovered the magic of sound, vibration, and resonance – a language that transcended barriers and united souls in a shared experience. The rhythmic heartbeat of drumming and the beat of music have served as universal languages, transcending cultural barriers to unify and connect communities.
Join Lisa and Michael for an exploration of the unifying power of sound, vibration, and resonance as a means of connection. From ancient tribal gatherings to modern-day concerts, the thunderous rhythms of beating drums and melody of songs have the ability to evoke emotions that resonate universally despite linguistic barriers. Pythagoras, the noted Greek philosopher and mathematician, also known as the Father of Harmony, systematically used sound as a therapeutic tool. He called this treatment “musical medicine”. Even today, the power of sound to connect remains undiminished. Stepping into a packed concert hall, feeling the bass vibrate through your chest, and witnessing thousands of voices rise in unison – it’s an experience that transcends individuality, reminding us of our shared humanity. Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, renowned music therapist, beautifully captures this essence: “House sound has the ability to heal us by reminding us of our interconnectedness, of the fact that we are all part of something larger than ourselves.”
On this week’s show we will be delving into how music serves as a symphony of human connection reminding us of our shared humanity, our ancestral roots, and the power collaboration that unites hearts and minds. When we allow ourselves to experience the unifying power of sound, vibration, and resonance we open to fostering a sense of belonging that resonated deep within so that we can begin to build a world where all hearts beat as one.

Double Dog Dare to Discover - Episode 113

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision.” — Cecil Beaton 
Bravery gets us to face the unknown, courage empowers us to leap. But daring? Daring transcends both­ — nudging us not just past fear, but towards a richer, more profound way of experiencing life itself. Daring is a radical invitation to shed the familiar, embrace the unexpected, and connect with ourselves,acknowledging our desires and fears.
On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael explore how daring can be a catalyst for transformation. When we dare to be vulnerable, to truly experience life in all its richness and complexity, we break down the illusion of separateness. This vulnerability fosters connection, creating bridges where comfort zones built walls. We connect with ourselves, acknowledging our desires and fears, and we connect with others, forging relationships built on genuine understanding and shared humanity. Dr. Wayne Dyer echoes this sentiment, saying, “We are all connected; what affects one of us, affects all of us.”  We will be delving into how daring allows us to shed limiting beliefs and how it enables us to embrace the vastness of our potential. Through daring, we discover new dimensions of ourselves, forging deeper connections, and experiencing life with an unparalleled sense of unity.  Daring invites us to explore the depths of our being.
Accepting a double dog dare to discover the unknown unlocks a world where we transcend fear, courage flourishes,connection deepens, and we experience life beyond the ordinary. So, dare to dream, dare to discover and dare to open to our connection to LOVE!

Imagine embarking on a journey of aligning with our higher selves, pioneering a new consciousness within ourselves and the world around us. What a wonderful adventure! With each New Moon we are given the opportunity to align with the potent energy of new beginnings.  It’s a unique time for introspection, a time to shed that which we no longer need and plant the seeds of our highest potential. 
On this episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how to tap into the energies of the new moon. These energies are available to each of us so that we may align with our higher selves and embrace our true essence. We are all experiencing a unique time on the earth where we have the opportunity to pioneer a new consciousness.  As Wayne Dyer said, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Taking positive action towards aligning with our higher self allows us to harness the transformative energies available to each of us. This may involve setting boundaries, pursuing your passions, or practicing self-care. We delve into ways of finding the rhythm of our unique path and learning how to trust that we are moving in the right direction to unlock our infinite potential. The new moon offers a powerful opportunity to shed, align, and rise. Remember, none of us are not alone on this journey. As we embrace our truth and pioneer a new consciousness, we contribute to a brighter future, not just for ourselves, but for all.

Tuning into Language of Love with The Teachers through Carol Collins - Episode 110

“How can we love you better? We cannot. We show you, we vibrate love to you, we guide you, we whisper sweetness of joy to you every second of every day of your entire life. We cannot love better because we never hold back any ounce of that love. We love you.” — through Carol Collins channeler for The Teachers and America’s Medium
Our bodies are not just physical vessels; they are also energetic systems. Ancient Eastern traditions described our energy flowing through seven main chakras, which are located along the spine and correspond to different organs and emotions. When our chakras are balanced, our energy flows freely, and we experience physical and emotional well-being. However, when our chakras are blocked or imbalanced, our energy becomes stagnant, and we can experience a variety of physical and emotional problems. 
“Everything tunes into the language of love.” is the message Carol Collins, a pure, trance state channel for The Teachers bring forth in this powerful episode of the Awakening Series. Join Lisa and Michael for a conversation with Carol and the Teachers about the importance of chakra work, how to use positive language to raise our frequency to create a more harmonious environment for our chakras and how to awaken our ability to receive healing.
Each of us has the ability to tune into the messages our guides want us to know. Messages can come in various forms, like images, thoughts, voices, or feelings. The Teachers are here for us to assist us in connecting with our higher selves. They offer insights into how we can more clearly hear the non-verbal, two way dialogue we have with our guides. The Teachers offer guidance on how attuning our thoughts, words and chakras can have a powerful impact on the energy in the body to assist us in both personal growth and planetary evolution..They emphasizes individual empowerment and the co-creation of reality through focused consciousness so we can experience a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life by tuning into the language of LOVE!

Passion Leading Your Purpose - Episode 109

“Passion is a feeling that tells you: this is the right thing to do. Nothing can stand in my way. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says. This feeling is so good that it cannot be ignored. I’m going to follow my bliss and act upon this glorious sensation of joy.” — Wayne Dyer 
Imagine a world where our deepest desires aren’t just daydreams, our passions, fueled by unwavering desire, become the vibrant threads woven into the fabric of our reality. Imagine, then, our life as a vast loom. Through deliberate intention and focused action, we begin to weave these threads with meticulous care. Each step, each decision,each positive affirmation becomes a strand carefully interlaced, forming the intricate pattern of our desired outcome. Dr. Vitale, in his book “The Attractor Factor,” beautifully articulates, “Your passion is the compass that leads you to your purpose.” 
Within each of us lies a vibrant tapestry of passions, threads longing to be woven into the fabric of reality. Join Lisa and Michael are we explore the process of weaving our passions into reality. We will be delving into how taking inspired action by aligning our actions with the deepest yearnings of our soul infuses our every step with the powerful energy of purpose and joy. Throughout our journey the threads may shift, patterns may re-emerge, and new passions may weave their way into the fabric of our lives. It is important to learn to embrace the dynamic nature of this process and to take inspired action, when we do, we co-create with the Universe. Remember, the tapestry of our life is not a static singular design but a dynamic work of art. Our tapestry is ever-evolving, so embrace the stumbles along the way,  celebrate the setbacks, as well as the successes, and revel in the sheer joy of the journey! The most breathtaking masterpieces are not woven with perfection, but with the vibrant hues of our soul, the unwavering thread of belief, and the unyielding passion to manifest our dreams!
