MEDITATION: Inner Smile Meditation for Health & Wellbeing

MEDITATION: Inner Smile Meditation for Health & Wellbeing
With all that’s going on in the world I wanted to share with you a popular Taoist practice, that I really enjoy, called the inner smile meditation. It’s supposed to be very powerful for your health and immune system. Taoist Master Montak Chia says “Sickness starts from negative emotions settling in the organs. The inner smile breaks this cycle. It removes the cause and symptoms of disharmony by transforming destructive emotions into positive energy.“ This meditation is simple to replicate on your own and I once you get the hang of it and you can make it as long or as short as you want Why is doing mental practices at a time like this so valuable for your health and well being? In a moment of time where a lot feels out of our control this is something you CAN do to help yourself. Your body possesses the innate capacity to heal itself. And science has proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the contents of our thoughts and emotions directly and immediately influence our biochemistry. And we can consciously influence and direct the body’s output of healthy chemical information through meditation and other mental techniques. So, at the very least we are giving our mind, body and spirit a moment of rest and rejuvenation to counteract the added stress so we can really meet this moment with presence, calm and strength. www.schoolyoursoulpodcast.com

SELF-HEALING With Brandy Gillmore
04/11/2019
SELF-HEALING With Brandy Gillmore
Brandy Gillmore, Ph.D., is a motivational speaker, author, and Mind/Body &Energy Expert. Her expertise in self-healing originated from a devastating injury, where she found herself disabled, and in excruciating pain. She had to use a wheelchair, cane, or walker to get around and was on various forms of medications and morphine and yet still in extreme pain. One doctor after another said there was nothing they could do for her and eventually Brandy became determined to find a solution on her own. After years of studying and looking for answers, her research eventually led to the power of the mind. The answers she found were profound and life-changing and allowed Brandy to heal herself. Now she is out of her wheelchair, free of pain and physically stronger than ever! Through this experience she came to the eye-opening awareness that we all have much more influence over our health than we realize. And she believes every single ailment has a link to the subconscious mind. While going through her recovery, Brandy developed the ability to feel the emotions and energy that others are experiencing, which has allowed her to help others achieve their own healing results at record-breaking speeds. Brandy says ”It’s been proven that the subconscious mind is the biggest factor in human behavior. Therefore, when we make changes to the mind for purposes of healing, the results are life-changing!” She states: “When we rewire our thoughts, we transform our health and our lives.” Brandy has developed quick and effective ways for changes to occur, including “G.E.T. Health” the “Gillmore Empowerment Technique” and “The 4 Mind-Body- Soul Keys For Transformation.” She speaks all over the world and works with celebrities, politicians, professional athletes and others worldwide. In today’s show we discuss: Brandy’s personal journey of self-healing How our emotions and our subconscious directly affect our health and body Why Brandi believes there is more illness than ever before How to program more happiness and positivity into your subconscious And much much more… I got to experience Brandy’s expertise first hand when was kind enough to do a session for me a few weeks after our interview and it was profound the information she could gather …Her insights were so specific and on point and this was all over the phone! I’m a believer in what she does and I’m so excited to share her with you guys today. Enjoy the show! Visit for resources from this episode

BRUCE LIPTON: Reprogramming Your Subconcsious Mind

BRUCE LIPTON: Reprogramming Your Subconcsious Mind
Our guest today is Bruce Lipton! Guys, I’m such a big fan of his… and was super excited to get to talk to him… I actually did this interview the day after I found out I was pregnant back in November so I snuck some pregnancy and parenting related questions in here… First off – I have a question for you - have you ever read a self-help book - had all sorts of Ah-ha moments, gotten a ton out of it - only to actually apply very little of it into your life? It’s happened to me a million times. Well did you know that your Subconscious mind – which cannot be taught in the same way as your conscious mind - dictates 95% of your behavior! And sometimes the reason it’s difficult to make changes in your life is because the thing you are trying to change contradicts the subconscious programming that you received very early on. We talk a lot about this today and it’s profound… But first more on Bruce… Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences. He’s best known for promoting the idea that gene expression can be influenced by environmental factors, in other words people have a greater impact on their health than genetic research has previously determined. His discoveries have shown that a person’s perception, not genetic programming, is what spurs all action in the body: It’s actually our beliefs that select our genes, that then select our behavior. Bruce says “Our consciousness is creating our life experiences. He says “That’s not a suggestion - this is the law of science. If you change your consciousness you change your life experiences.” So the question becomes – how do we change our consciousness?? Well we cover that in today’s episode. We also discuss: How all the cells of your body are affected by your thoughts. The difference between the conscious and subconscious mind how most of your subconscious programming was created in the first 7 years of your life what we can do to create better programming for our children How we can reprogram our subconscious mind How you can change a belief you’ve had your whole life in 10 minutes!

30: Emotional Healing Through the Body with Sandi Stuart
Today our guest is a really special and beloved friend of mine – Sandi Stuart. I met Sandi while I was studying IBP – or Integrative Body Psychotherapy – which I’ve talked about a variety of times on the show. Sandi was one of the teaching assistants for my class. So over the 3 years going through this program she was an incredible teacher and support system to me and I got to know her in such an intimate way.

20: COMMUNITY: We Belong Together with Father Greg Boyle
Hey guys - Welcome to Episode 20 of The Daily Cordial! Today we are talking to, the ultimate champion of the underdog, Reverend Greg Boyle. Father Boyle is a pastor, activist & renowned speaker. He is also the founder and executive director of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, which is the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. His list of accolades goes on and on but to name a few…He is the author of the New York Times-bestselling book - , which was named one of the Best Books of 2010 by Publishers Weekly. He was the subject of Academy Award winner Freida Lee Mock’s documentary, . He received the California Peace Prize and was inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, the White House named Father Boyle a Champion of Change and in 2016 he received the Humanitarian of the Year Award from the James Beard Foundation, and this is just to name a few! I was first exposed to Father Boyle through my friends Andrew & Lydia… who highly recommended his book “” which is a series of parables from his two decades working with gang members in LA. I read it and knew immediately I needed to find a way to talk to this guy… his message, his journey and his stories were SO inspirational and talking to him was no different.. But before we get to our talk… first a little background on how “” came to be… In 1986 Father Boyle was appointed pastor of Dolores Mission Church in LA, which at the time was the poorest Catholic parish in the city located between two large public housing projects with the highest concentration of gang activity in Los Angeles. After having buried an ever growing number of young people killed in gang violence, Father Boyle wanted to address the unmet needs of gang-involved youth by developing positive opportunities for them. In 1992 Father Boyle launched Homeboy Bakery, and ever since, former enemy gang members have worked side by side, learning both business and baking skills together. The success of Homeboy Bakery created the groundwork for a variety of other similar social enterprises under Homeboy Industries. Each year over 10,000 former gang members from across Los Angeles come through Homeboy Industries’ doors in an effort to make a positive change. Homeboy Industries offers education, therapy, tattoo removal, substance abuse treatment, legal assistance, and job placement services. Father Boyle is a man who has dedicated his life to helping those in need and more than that he seeks to help people whom most of society has given up on. In a recent he wrote - “Homeboy Industries seeks to be what the world is ultimately invited to become: a community of kinship, exquisite mutuality, and tenderness. We stand against forgetting that we belong to each other.” And I think THIS is a message we all need to be reminded of right now. We belong to each other. In today’s episode we talk about the power of unconditional love, compassion and kinship. And his belief that every human is inherently good. He tells us: what he believes we are all longing for what’s more powerful than death advice for those grieving what he believes to be the meaning of life and much much more… If you’re a parent or you’re in a service profession where you’re trying to help others I think this will be a really valuable episode for you. Actually I think if you’re a human being than this episode applies to you. :) Enjoy the show! LINKS: Book: Documentary on Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries: DONATE TO HOMEBODY INDUSTRIES!!

So, basically my dream vacation. ~ In today’s episode we discuss: -The greatest lesson she learned working with Richard Branson -Why she asked Virgin to let her go during a recession -How she deals with Fear -The importance of surrender -How we can create more space in our life -And much much more…. ~ Alexia is an amazing example of someone who follows her heart and calling..

17: PURPOSE: Choosing Work for Social Good with Matt Coulter

17: PURPOSE: Choosing Work for Social Good with Matt Coulter
Hey guys! Welcome to Episode 17 of The Daily Cordial Today I’m talking to an inspirational friend of mine.. Matt Coulter. Matt is the co-founder and executive director of , which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping today’s youth beat cancer. What an incredible intention, right? It’s an incredible foundation designed to support those, 40 and under, who are battling cancer. I also love that if you donate to a specific warrior 100% of the money goes to the family… it’s amazing. One of the things that inspires me most about Matt is his journey to find meaning in his life. He started his career in a high paying job, completely driven by money and status. I think most of us can relate to the idea of chasing the wrong things… whether it’s Money, Fame, status, (the list goes on and on) and thinking these things are going to bring us that deep fulfillment that we are longing for… “When I have this, or when this happens THEN I will be happy. “ But these things are usually ego driven and insatiable.. so no matter how much money, fame or status we get, it will never be enough. And if you peel back yet another layer, I think ultimately we are just trying to prove to ourselves and others 1. that we’re enough 2. that we matter 3. that we’re special. All of which is actually an inside job and will never be satiated from the external world. So either way we’re set up for failure chasing these things that our society places so much value on.. And this is not to say you can’t want these things but understand, that they will probably not fulfill you in the way that you think they will. Some people go a lifetime unknowingly chasing these things only to reach their goal mystified as to why they don’t feel fulfilled.…and quite the opposite are greeted with empty dissatisfaction. What’s cool about Matt is that he made this discovery about himself early on. In his early 30’s, feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled he quit his high paying job and shifted his purpose to giving back to others - starting “The Young and Brave Foundation” with his best friend, professional surfer Nathanial Curran. And his life has been different ever since. In today’s episode, Matt and I had a really fun and playful conversation and we cover a wide range of topics.. from …discovering your purpose and the value of living in service to others… to sensory deprivation tanks, journaling, sleep & creativity. We also discuss: The moment he realized he wasn’t happy and the changes he made to discover a life with meaning His shift from serving SELF to serving OTHERS.. and how that’s changed his life The link between doing what you love and authenticity How we can all make a difference And much much more.. Matt is a super smart and creative guy and he’s using his skills to help the greater good, which is what it’s all about. Hope you guys enjoy the show.
