Taking break from podcasting and what is next
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
Hello, my brave soul. The time has come when I decided to say goodbye to podcasting for a while and focus on my writing instead. First, let me start by saying that I am beyond grateful for you, my dear listener who found my podcast helpful while always coming back for more. Although the journey of podcasting has been deeply rewarding for me, I decided to direct my attention to something I love the most - writing. Therefore, every Tuesday, I will publish blog posts with tools, tips, techniques, affirmations, quotes, and a little bit of storytelling to support you on your path...

The Art Of Detachment, Self-Regulation and Emotional Balance
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
A while ago, I watched an interview with Jay Shetty where he talked about detachment as stated in the Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Hindu scripture. He says that, “detachment is not that you own nothing. Detachment is that nothing owns you.” I find this one of the most accurate and simply understood definitions of detachment. Also, it is worth noticing things and people we are attached to and then asking ourselves:” What does this person, thing, or achievement represent for me?” It wasn't long ago when I was attached to men who came into my life to validate how lovable I was....

2 Spiritual Tools For More Love And Kindness
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
Healing and walking a spiritual path doesn’t mean you don’t face challenges or that this path is linear. Therefore, having spiritual tools in place is important to keep evoking the love within while shedding off anything that doesn’t serve you. Love is your ultimate superpower. It gives you the courage to take the brave step, softens your heart, and shows you what you are worth. I always looked at growth from two different angles. You either grow by life itself when things you don’t ask for or don’t expect come into your life and challenge you to grow. The second is...

#1 Mindfulness Tool To Regulate Your Thoughts And Emotions
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
When I found myself having Monday blues last week, this was the mindfulness tool I used to snap out of it while reminding myself of the true nature of my mind. There aren’t Monday blues, bad or good days, or happy Sundays (as people call it in America). The quality of our days, regardless of what day it is or what is happening around us depends on how aware we are and how well we manage our thoughts and emotions. This simple mindfulness tool is your internal resource available at all times and in any situation. Because paying attention to reality, to what is - is an art of...

Healing Childhood Trauma And 3 Tools To Support You
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
Although healing childhood trauma is a challenging path to walk, it is also a path of deep fulfillment and self-love. When we become brave enough to look at our past and address earlier childhood experiences holding us back, we choose our destiny instead of settling for it. I’ve been healing my childhood trauma for a few years now. And although I have made significant progress, I still find myself emotionally relapsing while feeling paralyzed by fear and unease. It is one of the reasons why I decided to record this episode and shine more light on what healing childhood trauma has...

Rewire Your Brain With This 3-Step Process
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
You can rewire your brain, change how you think and perceive life, and become in love with it by consciously choosing how you want to think. The moment you are born, your conscious mind isn’t formed yet, while the subconscious mind is fully open. Therefore, whatever you hear, see, experience, and perceive from that point gets stored in your subconscious. That’s where your mood, attitude, and personality form and then, often unconsciously, direct your life to this point. However, many things you learn and adapt to aren’t serving you. Therefore, to change the way you...

How to Use Positive Affirmations and Visualization to Heal
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
Since we tell ourselves affirmations all day, why not make them into positive affirmations that allow us to become who we want to be and attract things we want? There are two types of affirmations: conscious and unconscious. Unconscious affirmations are thoughts and beliefs that run on autopilot. Since we reinforce these statements in our minds many times, they become automatic. Often those are thoughts we don’t want to have but aren’t aware we have them. Conscious affirmations are positive affirmations we choose. Think of them as thoughts you choose to think that produce...

Healing Inner Child and Reparenting Yourself
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
Healing your inner child is about accessing the wounds or suppressed emotions while recognizing what parts of you need to be healed. It’s also about identifying different parts or versions of your little self and then healing them individually. You may have a version of your inner child that’s angry, one that feels unworthy, untrusting, or insecure. Attuning to each of them, giving them attention, validating their feelings, and loving them through it all is where deep healing happens. As children, we adapt different coping mechanisms. Since our brain is still developing when we form these...

3 Spiritual Practices That Healed Me
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
Are you stuck on your healing path? Do you feel you’ve tried almost everything, but nothing quite works? Today, I am sharing my 3 most powerful spiritual practices that I used and continue using every day to heal and keep myself in balance. Daily spiritual practices are essential for anyone on a healing path. When we have a practice in place and stay committed to it, what we are saying is “I love me to take care of me.” Developing spiritual practices that work and coming back to them daily became a ritual that I can't go without. It is like taking a shower or brushing my...

15-Minute Guided Meditation to Reinvent Yourself
Courage Within You with Silvia Turonova
What if instead of focusing on what you want to accomplish externally, you look within and focus on who you need to become and how you can reinvent yourself to reach the healing, growth, and goals you desire? The external world can fall apart, but how you manage your internal system and the magnitude of your is something no one can take away from you. Inner resilience and self-belief rooted in self-trust are all you need when embarking on a committed spiritual path while transforming the subconscious and subtle patterns that keep you stuck. If you focus on your present reality, how...

It wasn't long ago when I was attached to men who came into my life to validate how lovable I was. Or using the attachment to my work and to-do list to justify my worth. If I worked my butt off, I was worthy. If I took a break, I felt guilty for not doing, and worse, being enough.
We often hear about detachment as an act of letting go. However, this episode isn’t about letting go but rather understanding duality, attachment to our preferences, things, and people that drive our emotions, and how to use the art of detachment to create and maintain emotional balance.
Here is a glance at this episode…
[02:05] Different types of detachment and how they show up in your life.
[03:47] Why do we attach to other people, results in our work and business, or how many things we get done on our to-do list and use it to justify our worth?
[07:50] Understanding the role of duality when it comes to attachment and how reframing from duality supports self-regulation.
[11:06] Seeing things for what they are, detaching from our preferences and opinions while creating more emotional balance.
[13:15] Sharing a part of chapter 4 from the Bhagavad Gita that talks about detaching from the results of our actions, eliminating suffering, and becoming free.
