The Beauty of Conscious Perception - Episode 71
Apr 18, 2023
Apr 18, 2023
58 min
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissaro
Each one of us is absolutely unique in all the world which is the reason that there are no two people that perceive things the same way. Perception is highly selective; the brain constantly decides what information is important enough to reach our consciousness. Our perceptions involve not only the five senses; touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste but also includes what is known as proprioception— a set of senses that enable us to detect changes in body position and movement. It is through these sensory experiences that we gain information about the environment around us. Our perceptions influence how we focus on, process, remember, interpret, understand, synthesize, decide about, and act on reality. If you truly think about it, perception is the virtual lens through which each one of us views reality.
On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael explore the immense potential each of us has to enrich our life experiences through conscious perception. There is truth in the old adage that says beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the conscious choice to perceive beauty in even the smallest of things will make any life richer.
We share our thoughts on how to consciously shift awareness to make more conscious choices in an effort to look for the positives and the blessings in all situations; regardless of how challenging they may seem at the time. The ‘Power of Intention’ author Wayne Dyer, made famous the quote by German theoretical physicist and quantum theory originator, Max Planck, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” If we can learn change the way we look at things we open up a doorway to co-creating our lives with the power of intention and living in a miraculous world of beauty. It is our choice. Each one of us have the choice to experience wonder and awe in our lives, embracing love, compassion, kindness and gratitude can change the world!

Cultivating the Vibration of Joy - Episode 70
Apr 11, 2023
Apr 11, 2023
58 min
“I am not weak, but strong.I am not helpless, but all powerful.I am not limited, but unlimited.I am not doubtful, but certain.I am not an illusion, but a reality.I cannot see in darkness, but in light.” — Lesson 91, “Miracles are seen in light.” from A Course In Miracles
The Hermetic teachings are Universal Laws thought to have been passed down orally for centuries and contain one of the key tenets for self-mastery, the Law of Vibration. This Law states,“Nothing rests; Everything moves; Everything vibrates.”Simply put, all things carry their own unique energy, on all planes of existence. Everything – starting from the largest of matter down to tiniest of particles – is at different degrees of vibration. In fact, even the smallest particle in the universe has a vibrational frequency that impacts things around it.
On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael share their thoughts on tapping into this universal law to create a better and more fulfilling life. We will be discussing how to attune to your own energy, how to sharpen what you sense, feel, and react to so that you can match the specific frequency of what you’re looking to attract. Our conversation will also touch on mental alchemy, which is the ability to transmute your emotional and mental state letting go of dense, heavy emotions to achieve the higher vibrations of joy, love, and peace on the path to helping you feel healthier and happier.
Author Michael MacLean in his book, The Vibrational Universe wrote, “The Universe responds to our thoughts, words, feelings and actions —Change the way you think, feel, speak and act, and you will change your world.” The law of vibration helps us understand that there is a world beyond our physical sight, beyond limitation, where a whole new world awaits us. As we choose to increase and maintain a higher frequency by keeping our own vibe steady regardless of outside influences, the more we are able to access a more aligned and abundant life connected to LOVE.

Carol Collins, Channel for the TeachersCarol’s personal awakening was spontaneous and profound. In 2018 she began a daily practice of silent meditation.

Six weeks later they asked if she would allow them to speak out loud and she has been channeling them ever since.

The Magic of Letting Go - Episode 66

“Letting go of our ideas about how life should go is a choice that sets life’s magic free.” — Melody BeattieIt has been said that heroes are but ordinary people who feel fear, but choose to face it anyway. When we choose to discover, enhance, and start to embrace our inner hero, many of us may find it challenging to release our fears so that our dreams and desires may be brought into being. But in order to have something new, we often have to say goodbye to what we already have. As our hopes, dreams and needs change, we may no longer find joy and fulfillment in the same things or with the same people. On our path of transformation, we may discover that the things that used to lift us up may no longer have the ability to raise us any higher. On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael invite you to look at how you perceive the world to determine what is truly important to your inner hero. As you take the step forward to become more authentically you, an internal shift can take place and you may find the need to let go of some things that no longer nourish your mind or heart. A good rule of thumb is: if it doesn’t make you happy, help you grow, or challenge you, maybe it’s already taught you everything that it was meant to. Becoming more you, in alignment with your highest potential, enables you to more easily confront your life challenges and fears. You will discover that they will begin to shrink as you begin to grow. That’s part of the magic of letting go. Letting go brings with it transformation and the gateway for your inner hero to unveil for the world who you truly are — isn’t it time to show the world your incredible beauty.
