Do You Live In A Friendly Or Hostile Universe?

"I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened"  Mark Twain
 
Is worry written into life?  Perhaps it seems inevitable if we have responsibilities to meet, goals to attain, relationships to nurture.  But to what extent are worries just habitual thought patterns, well worn scripts we unconsciously replay, that impact our health and wellbeing? 
 
Join our speaker for this evening to unravel some of the threads of this pervasive habit and explore practical steps we can take to break the worry cycle and restore inner peace.

This episode reflects on the show Severance and the timeless desire for a reset—to start fresh without the weight of the past. At first, it might seem like a relief to separate parts of the self, to live without stress, fear, or regret. But true freedom doesn’t come from forgetting—it comes from how each moment is met.  The real reset is right here, right now—determined by our perspective of what is before us. And MAYBE it changes everything.

Does Your Innie Or Your Outie Bring You To Enlightenment?

Teddy Swims' poignant song called "Some Things I'll Never Know" can remind us that we often linger in the past, grappling with the difficulty of not knowing when someone stopped loving us or why something unexpected happened. However, once we process our pain, the desire to understand the unknowable can keep us tethered to our pain and prevent us from moving forward. This is a much-needed rebroadcast reminding us to let go of what we can't know and embrace the road ahead with all its hope and possibilities.&nbsp; If you found this podcast enjoyable, kindly consider subscribing and leaving a rating or review.

Pianeal Ambient Emotions touching feelings of sorrow, mystery, worry & optimism.

Pianeal ( Ambient Emotions ) 432hz

For all the White Lotus fans out there, Season 3 gave us a lot to think about—especially the moment in the finale when the monk says we suffer most when we search for resolutions that don’t exist. We’ve all been there: waiting to hear what our boss thinks about a project, wondering if someone’s romantically interested and they haven’t texted back, or hoping the market rebounds. We get caught up in needing things to turn out a certain way—and in the process, we lose patience, peace, and the present moment. But problems resolve… and then new ones arise. If we’re always chasing certainty, are we also signing up for a lifetime of stress and worry? This week’s podcast explores how we can find more patience and ease—even when there are no clear resolutions in sight.
