The WISDOM PODCAST

This is a wonderful question that comes from Ionnie as she writes about her experience in my Audio Meditation Course: The 10 Sacred Habits of Meditation.  You can find it in The School of Wisdom https://theschoolofwisdom.dorothyratusny.com/ and it is also featured on Insight Timer.

The Question:  "Your explanation about letting thoughts occur helps me experience a more clear understanding of what the meditation experience is about.  I am grateful." 😊

"I am working on letting thoughts occur outside of my meditation practice without using resistance to those thoughts that do not serve me positively.  Do you have any suggestions on making those experiences flow more smoothly?"

My Answer...
Ionnie your question suggests such a wonderful level of awareness and self-reflection.  To notice one's thoughts in daily life is an example of being mindful, self-aware and observant.

In meditation, we are taught to allow our thoughts presence but to not be distracted by them; rather to return our point of focus unto our breath or another object of focus each time we become distracted.  This practice is to help train the mind outside of meditation to release thoughts that are unwanted and untrue.

TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro:  0-1:32  |  Intro to Episode:  What is your Greatness?  1:33-3:31 |  What Does It Mean to Live Your Greatness?  5:38  |  How to Begin Your Journey of Greatness:  8:36  |  A Bonus Strategy for Tapping into Your True Potential Now:  10:10  |  My Ideal Self ('bonus guided meditation'):  11:36  |  The Importance of Living Your Life's Purpose:  6:57

What is greatness?
How do you live your greatness?
G R E A T N E S S  is both your incredible potential for what you are becoming and what you already are.  You live your greatness most readily by being your - authentic - self.  Your authentic - or genuine - self is another way of describing your truth - your true nature.  You live your greatness when you are living as your ideal or highest self - the purest aspect of what you are - and often referred to as your soul, the god or goddess within you - consciousness.  You live your greatness through deliberate acts of service, genuine kindness, compassion and being loving without boundaries or expectation.

"You live your greatness through acts of love."

"Know who you are. Know your greatness. Your greatness is not your ego nor what your ego mind tells you; your greatness is what you are as a being of love; when you reveal this to the world then you are living your greatness." - dorothy ratusny

How to LIVE Your Greatness | The WISDOM podcast | Season 1  Episode 1

TIMESTAMPS:
Introduction to Self-Love:  2:11  |  The First Self-Love Practice:  3:40 |  The Second Self-Love Practice:  7:38  |  The Third Self-Love Practice:  9:44  |  One Additional Benefit to Your Self-Love 'Work':  10:50

In this debut episode of the Wisdom Podcast, I share the three practices of self love that teach you how to have greater confidence, appreciation and love of yourself; and to feel autonomous and self-empowered because of what thoughts and feelings you choose to hold.

Our rearing may have taught us to look to others for approval and to feel loved, valuable and worthy.  We may also look to our existing love relationship to feel complete and to validate that we are desirable and good enough and we look to our partner to love us in the same and familiar ways that we have been shown and accustomed to.  

Yet how good are we at practising self love?  Consider first answering these questions:  Do you look for others to love you?  Are you able to love yourself first?

Join me in this debut episode as we uncover new and innovate thought paradigms for practising self love as a daily habit; and discover three self love practices that will teach you how to curate love from within.  Namaste!  xo
