Being The Manifested Reflection of Love - Episode 140

“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.” – Ram Dass
Our thoughts and the words we speak about ourselves hold tremendous power, shaping not only our inner world but also the reality we experience externally. As the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson expresses,“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make and shape the world.”
On this week’s episode, Lisa and Michael delve into how our thoughts and words are like seeds that we plant in our minds — they grow and shape our beliefs, attitudes, and ultimately, our reality. When we consistently think and speak positively about ourselves, focusing on our strengths, abilities, and intrinsic worth, we create a mindset that attracts corresponding experiences into our lives.
We will be sharing our thoughts on how consciously directing our thoughts and words towards the genius, power, clarity, and love within us, we are able to align ourselves with the highest version of who we are. This concept is closely tied to the law of attraction, which states that like attracts like, where the energy and focus we put out into the world return to us in kind. When we focus on being the manifested reflection of the love of who we are, we are essentially sending out a powerful vibration into the universe. This alignment fosters a deep sense of self-worth and confidence, which naturally propels us toward our goals and desires. By nurturing this positive self-perception, we open ourselves up to receiving not only what we desire but also what we deserve—abundance, success, love, and the fulfillment of our potential.

Being the Embodiment of Love - Episode 139

“The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti
 
Love is an extraordinary force, a profound emotion that transcends the ordinary and transforms both the giver and the receiver. When we truly feel the depth of love and embody it in our daily lives, it becomes a powerful catalyst for change.
 
On this week’s episode, Lisa and Michael explore what is means to embody love and ways to become a living example of its transformative power. When we truly feel the depth of love, when it permeates our being, we become vessels of its extraordinary power. Being the embodiment of love, provides a profound connection where we can discover the potential for transformation within ourselves and the world around us. When we embody love, we radiate warmth, kindness, and acceptance, we create a ripple effect of positivity that extends far beyond our immediate circle. 
 
As the poet Rumi beautifully wrote: “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
Embodying love means allowing this pull to guide our actions and interactions, transforming not only ourselves but also the world around us. When love becomes our guiding principle, it inspires others to act with the same kindness and compassion, creating a cycle of positivity and change through the small acts of kindness, the willingness to listen, and the courage to forgive. When we operate from a place of love, we become agents of change, inspiring others to create a ripple effect of positive change that can transform our world, making it a more welcoming and nurturing place for everyone. Live Love! Be Love!

Awakening to Intuitive Manifesting with Carol Collins and the Teachers _ Episode 138

On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael have the immense pleasure of hosting Carol Collins, a gifted alpha state channeler for the Teachers.

Carol delves into the concept of intuition and its role in manifesting our desires. According to Carol and the Teachers, the groups of non-physical beings she channels, intuition accounts for a small but significant portion of our daily experiences.

Our conversation explores the current wave of “The Shift,” a cyclical phenomenon introduced by the Teachers to bring about global transformation. This Shift, which began in June 2024, aims to infuse the world with friendly emotions and intuitive manifesting, creating a more harmonious and balanced existence. The Teachers believe that by fostering a collective consciousness focused on positivity and intuition, we can overcome the challenges that plague our society, such as inequality, violence, and environmental degradation. Through her work, Carol offers a beacon of hope, showing us that we are never alone and that our non-physical guides are always ready to assist us on our path.
If you’re ready to explore the depths of your own spiritual potential and learn how to harness the power of emotions and intuition, don’t miss this enlightening episode. Tune in now to discover the wisdom of Carol Collins and the non-physical teachers, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Let the awakening begin!

The Power of the Pause - Episode 137

“In many a piece of music, it’s the pause or the rest that gives the piece its beauty and its shape. And I know I, as a writer, will often try to include a lot of empty space on the page so that the reader can complete my thoughts and sentences and so that her imagination has room to breathe.” – Pico Iyer
 
In our fast-paced lives, we often rush from one task to another, rarely giving ourselves the chance to truly reflect and learn from our experiences. On this week’s show Lisa and Michael invite you to join us as we explore the power of the pause as a powerful catalyst for growth. 
Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is pause. A pause can be the reset button your mind and body need. In the pause, there is space for new ideas to emerge. In the silence of a pause, there is wisdom, answers often reveal themselves. When we quiet our minds and listen to our inner voice, we can access a deeper level of intuition and wisdom. This introspective space allows us to tap into our subconscious, where many of the answers to our challenges reside. By embracing the silence, we give ourselves the opportunity to hear these subtle insights and gain clarity on our next steps. We will be sharing our thoughts on how moments of stillness allow us to reconnect with ourselves, discover hidden strengths, and open up to new possibilities. The pause allows for a deep sense of presence and mindfulness, enhancing our ability to respond to life’s challenges with grace and wisdom. We invite you to pause to appreciate the beauty that surrounds you . . . for the pause is where the magic happens.

Seven Days to a Lifetime - Episode 136

“Live life to the fullest because it only happens once.” – Maddi Jenkins
Each day we can allow ourselves to love deeply, appreciate the beauty of life and the importance of our connections. However, for many of us we become consumed with superficial concerns we sometimes forget to focus on what truly matters.
 
On this week’s episode, Lisa and Michael explore how the discovery of a seven day limited lifespan would act as a catalyst for a profound appreciation for the gift of life. Inspired an interview with Lee Harris and the Z’s, who invited the audience to imagine what would become important to you if you knew that at the end of the next seven days you would cease to exist on this planet,. Of course, for most everyone priorities would undergo a seismic shift, instead, the spotlight would turn to relationships, experiences, and personal growth. Every moment would be savored, every interaction cherished. We will be sharing how each of us can make an inspiring commitment to live each day with intention,  purpose so that we can extract the maximum joy and fulfillment from every passing precious moment. Vibrant Living founder Glenn Brooks would always close out the show with the following beautiful reminder to us all, “Your life is precious, enjoy it.”

Turning on Your Light of Awareness - Episode 135

"The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.”  – Thomas Merton
Awareness is a fundamental aspect of consciousness, which is the state of being awake and aware of one’s environment and existence. The Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh beautifully captures the essence of awareness: “The moment you are aware of something, that very awareness begins to transform you.” This transformation happens because awareness allows us to observe ourselves and our surroundings without judgment.
 
Join Lisa and Michael as they explore what turning on your “light of awareness” means. It is not only about becoming consciously aware of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, it involves a heightened state of mindfulness where we observe our inner and outer experiences without judgment. We will be delving into how this awareness allows us to live in the present moment, make more informed decisions, and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity and intention. Awareness enriches life by providing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence. By cultivating awareness, we become the master of our own experience. We shed light on the world within and around us, leading to a life filled with greater clarity, appreciation, and connection.

The Joy of Actively Engaging in Life - Episode 134

“Joy is not in things; it is in us.” – Richard Wagner
Play is not just for children; it’s a fundamental aspect of being human that fosters creativity, joy, and a sense of freedom. Embracing play allows us to approach life with curiosity and openness, seeing challenges as opportunities for learning and growth rather than obstacles. Incorporating the idea of play and enjoyment is crucial to being an active participant in your own life.
 
Join Lisa and Michael as we explore the importance of the importance of being present and fully experiencing life. When we immerse ourselves in our experience and engage with life directly rather than simply contemplating it from a distance it allows us to live more authentically and joyfully, fully embracing the adventure of life. Embracing the idea of finding joy and creativity in everyday activities enables us to approach life with a sense of curiosity and openness, finding delight in small moments, and not taking ourselves too seriously. As we actively engage in our lives, we discover a world brimming with experiences that are vivid and meaningful allowing us to live a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Embracing the Joy of Play - Episode 133

“Play is not something to be endured, it is something to be cherished.”  – Stuart Brown
Children are masters of play,effortlessly losing themselves in imaginative worlds. Their uninhibited joy and curiosity serve as a reminder of the transformative power of play. By observing children, we can learn to embrace spontaneity, curiosity, and the sheer delight of being present in the moment.
On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore how as adults rediscovering a playful spirit can be a powerful way to reconnect with their inner child, find joy in the present, and build stronger relationships. As children, we innately love to play because it is how we explored the world and our place in it. Embracing our natural inclination towards play invites curiosity, creativity, and connection with others. Through play, we can learn to embrace the joy of spontaneity and the sheer delight of being present in the moment. Play encourages us to take a lighthearted approach to life’s challenges, helps us foster a positive outlook and provides us with a foundation for lifelong joy.

Stretch, Bend and Grow into Adventure - Episode 131

“There are almost unlimited possibilities for making discoveries and to uncover the unknown. It is in the nature of the discovery that it can not be planned or programmed. On the contrary it consists of surprises and appears many times in the most unexpected places.” — Bengt I. Samuelsson
Discovering happiness in unexpected new places requires a spirit of adventure and a willingness to step outside our comfort zones. When we open ourselves to new possibilities, we invite fresh perspectives and opportunities into our lives. This openness allows us to find joy in places we might never have considered before, whether it’s a new hobby, a different social circle, or an unfamiliar environment.
 
Join Lisa and Michael for a fun-filled exploration of discovering happiness and fun in the most unexpected places. When we dare to look beyond the familiar and stretch beyond our current conventions, instead of waiting for joy and excitement to come from the usual sources, we can create richer, more fulfilling experiences by reaching farther and being willing to grow. We will be exploring the magic of letting go of rigid expectations and remaining open to the unknown, so that we can create space for serendipitous moments and delightful surprises. These unplanned moments of joy can be the most memorable and transformative. By stretching beyond our current life experience, reaching farther, and being willing to grow, we unlock a world of possibilities that can make all the difference in our pursuit of joy! Your adventure awaits!
