    Apr 28 2024

    Sitting in for Henry Beltra this week again is my good friend and future addition to the show Anthony Lisi. We discuss the concept of living life to the fullest and not waiting until a life-altering event to appreciate life. They also explore the role of ego and how it can hold people back from truly living. They highlight the fleeting nature of life and the need to have awareness so you can live life presently and not for the next moment only. People often say later in life how it went by in a blink. That is a direct cause of following the mind and not watching it. The conversation explores the concept of mindfulness and the importance of observing one's thoughts rather than attaching to them. It emphasizes the practice of acceptance and moving on from negative experiences. The hosts discuss the potential benefits of teaching mindfulness to children from a young age and how it can lead to a mentally aware and emotionally resilient population.

  • Episode 68 - The Inner Voice: A Filter for Decision-Making
    Apr 16 2024

    Today we explore the concept of the inner voice or conscious voice and how it guides decision-making. The inner voice is described as a feeling or knowing rather than an actual voice. It is the filter that helps filter out the noise and make choices that align with one's genuine desires and values. The importance of awareness and mindfulness in connecting with the inner voice is emphasized. Following the inner voice may not always lead to the easiest path, but it is the path that aligns with one's true self. We discuss the importance of listening to your intuition and explain that the internal conscious voice is the one that gives you answers and guidance, while the mind is filled with various voices and opinions. We emphasize that it's crucial to filter out the noise and tune into your intuition, which always has your best interests at heart.We also highlight the power of choice and the ability to change your path in life based on what genuinely feels right to you
