Imagine a Door Marked Dreams - Episode 121

“Your heart knows the way. Run in the direction of your heart and you will never go wrong.” — Paulo Coelho
Imagine a door marked “Dreams.” Behind it lies a universe of possibilities you haven’t even dared to dream of. Allowing is the key that unlocks that door. On this week’s show Lisa and Michael explore how often times life’s circumstances can feel like a cage, and other people’s beliefs can be the bars that hold us back. But what if the key to unlocking the door to our dreams lies not in forceful struggle, but in the art of allowing? What if it is as simple as creating space for possibilities beyond our perceptions of our current limitations.
 
Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”  When we open ourselves to the flow of life and to embracing the unknown, we allow for serendipitous encounters, unexpected opportunities, and a path that unfolds in magnificent and unexpected ways.  We will be delving into why going beyond our present circumstances and allowing ourselves to dream wildly, opens the door to a life that defies limitations. So take a deep breath,open the door, allow the big dream to unfold, and let the adventure begin!

Breathe in Positivity - Episode 120

"In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.” — Les Brown 
 
Take a moment to imagine life as a vast ocean. Sometimes, we get can caught in rough waters, feeling as if we have been tossed and turned by forces seemingly out of our control. But what if there was a hidden power within these waves, a way to transform them into a force that rather than dragging us under instead propels us forward? That power is positivity.
 
Join Lisa and Michael as we explore the power of consciously choosing positivity. Positivity isn’t about ignoring challenges or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about consciously shifting our perspective, choosing to see the blessings hidden within even the most difficult situations. 
We all have the ability to radiate an energy that attracts positive experiences and people. On this week’s show, we will be sharing our thoughts on the power of taking a moment to breathe in positivity whenever we find ourselves caught up in our perception of a negative current. Our thoughts are truly powerful, we become a magnet for the things we focus on. By consciously breathing in positivity, we can transform our perspective, attract what we desire, and ultimately, manifest our dreams. When we focus on gratitude for the good things in our lives, big or small, we create space for more good things to flow in. We become a beacon of optimism, attracting others who share our positive vibration. It’s the Law of Attraction in action –  you become a magnet for the things you focus on. The power to create a wave of positivity lies within each of us. Breathe it in, allow positivity to transform, and watch how easy it is to create smooth sailing towards a life filled with joy, peace and love.

Our Inner Definition of Love and How We Shape Our Reality - Episode 119

“I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and happy. Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees.”  – Joseph Murphy
 
Our inner definitions about ourselves and our core beliefs are the lenses through which we perceive and interact with the world around us. They shape our reality in profound ways, influencing the opportunities we see, the choices we make, and the experiences we attract into our lives. When we hold beliefs of self-worth and self-compassion, we cultivate a reality that reflects those beliefs, filled with abundance, joy, and fulfillment. Conversely, if our inner definitions are rooted in self-doubt or self-criticism, our reality may be characterized by limitations, struggle, and dissatisfaction.
 
Join Lisa and Michael as we explore how we create our reality through the definitions and beliefs we hold. As Bashar, the channeled entity known for his insights on reality creation, reminds us, “Definitions create limitations.” This succinct statement underscores the profound influence our definitions have on the world we perceive. The way we define ourselves sets the boundaries for how we experience life. Our beliefs about ourselves act as self-fulfilling prophecies, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions in ways that reinforce those beliefs.
 
Our core beliefs shape our perception of the world. If we believe happiness is elusive, we might constantly chase fleeting moments of joy. Conversely, believing in our capacity for happiness allows us to cultivate lasting fulfillment. The power, however, lies in our ability to rewrite the script of how we define ourselves. By consciously examining our inner definitions of self-love and our core beliefs, we can begin to dismantle limitations. Through exploring what true self-love means to each of us, independent of societal pressures or past experiences we can cultivate a belief in our inherent worthiness and embrace our unique strengths.
 
With this newfound awareness, we can begin to cultivate a deep sense of self-love, one that radiates outwards and shapes our reality. When we believe we are worthy of love and respect, we project a magnetic energy that attracts positive experiences and supportive relationships. Remember, as Bashar says, “You are the creative force of your reality.” As we align our inner world with love and positivity, we magnetize experiences that uplift and inspire us, creating a life that is truly worth living. We can choose our own definitions.  By cultivating self-love and nurturing empowering beliefs about ourselves, we can create a reality that reflects the beauty, abundance, and infinite potential that reside within each of us.

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!

Aligning With Our Highest Selves - Episode 112

“It’s time to embrace the charismatic leader you were born to be.” — Reda Wigle
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. So, step into the doorway of creating a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment; unveil your brilliance, and illuminate the world with your authentic radiant light!
