Awakening Your Imagination - Episode 48

“The Imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known.”  - Napoleon HillImagination brings things to life! It is at the core of creativity and creation. It is through the use of our imagination we open ourselves up to confidently undertake things that might appear to be impossible. Pablo Picasso said, “Everything you can imagine is real.” And studies carried out by Dr. Luigi Afganti, of the University of Padua, show just that! His research showed that perception and imagination share the same neural mechanisms. What does this mean? The brain (the subconscious mind) does not know the difference between imagination and reality. Dr. Afganti discovered people are capable of experiencing sensations through imagination without certain stimuli being present because we use the same neural circuits in the brain. Quite simply, the brain loves to imagine so every human has the ability to imagine and create their own life.. Join Lisa and Michael as we continue our exploration into the realm of your creative imagination. Discover why the neuroscience of imagination tells us that there’s a creative genius within us all. We will be sharing why when we visualize ideas we find solutions to problems and are able to generate plans from which a new future is being created. Neville Goddard believed “you are the creator” and imagination gives you the power to be anything you DESIRE to be. We invite you to awaken your imagination and open the gateway to the belief that anything is possible!Lisa LeRose an internationally respected natural health advocate, wellness educator, speaker, and eternal optimist, is the founder of One Wisdom, a healing arts collective focused on creating life-changing transformations.Michael J..

Our Gift of Imagination - Episode 47

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” - Albert EinsteinMany of us are unaware of the significance and influence of imagination in our lives. If you take a moment to look around you, everything that is around you was once in someone’s imagination. Imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind, with it, one can travel anywhere in the world at the speed of light or do anything without restrictions.. In Wayne Dyer’s book Being in Balance: 9 Principles for Creating Habits to Match Your Desires,  he wrote, “While the world of reality has its limits, the world of your imagination is without boundaries.”Join Lisa and Michael for an  exploration into one of the greatest gift you were ever given — the gift of your imagination.

Embracing Vulnerability - Episode 41

“If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. These are the physics of vulnerability.” - Dr. Brené BrownThere is a power in truly being yourself and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Dr. Brené Brown, who spent two decades studying the subject, defines vulnerability as “uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.” Vulnerability is at the core of shame, fear, and the struggle for worthiness and yet vulnerability is the birthplace of joy, creativity, and belonging. Being vulnerable has the ability to connect us to our truest nature and opens us up to love.Lisa and Michael invite you to join us in our exploration of how embracing being vulnerable strengthens our relationship to ourselves and to others. Vulnerability is about allowing ourselves to be honest with how we feel, about our fears, about what we need, and, in turn asking for what we need. Vulnerability exposes us emotionally to a certain degree of uncertainty. It invites us to accept the emotional risk that comes from being open and willing to love and be loved. Lisa and Michael will be sharing insights as to how opening yourself up when you feel vulnerable can be a way to gain greater strength, confidence and belief in your ability to handle challenging situations. As you truly learn to accept and love yourself, you will find it easier to show who you truly are. Dr. Brené Brown says it best, “To see and to be seen. That is the truest nature of love.”, Lisa LeRose an internationally respected natural health advocate, wellness educator, speaker, and eternal optimist, is the founder of One Wisdom, a healing arts collective focused on creating life-changing transformations.
