    Unleash Yourself Season 2 Episode 11 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny It is most fitting at this time to share this - this prose.  It was written two years to the day that I am recording.  It fits beautifully with what we are all called to do at this time; to awaken our senses; to step into a greater consciousness that we might uphold for every decision, every action, every thought that we hold.  It is each one of us that chooses whether we will live from our heart and with this to embrace all of our perfect nature; to rise up; to meet our self in this perfect state as pureness of thought, without the conditions that we have once placed onto our self and with using our free will to always choose from our heart, of what is right and true - to live a bountiful and beautiful heaven on earth, here and now. For wherever you are on your path at this time and as you continue to uphold the most sacred values; let this message inspire your journey, now and always... Namaste!       TRUTH SERUM:  To 'unleash' yourself is to allow yourself the freedom of self-expression through creativity, love, kindness and compassion.  It is to never hold yourself back from life's constant outpouring. A-HA MOMENTS:  Embrace the power you hold within; go into this power - this truth - this security - this comfort; it exists within you; find it as love, find it as inner strength, find it in the deliberate calling of your nature - what you are.  When we make time to embrace our inner being we feel comforted in the knowledge that we are not alone; that we are never without knowledge and true wisdom that guides us in every moment.  Unleash this knowledge, this inner knowing as you fill yourself - your heart - your being - with this beautiful truth. PRACTICAL WISDOM:  Follow the inner yearning of your soul - unleash your truth - be inspired by what you find and step forward into this.  this is your life's path unfolding; be on it - enjoy it - trust it wholly.     *If you have a question or if you would like my guidance or help, please reach out to me.  You can find me at: dorothyratusny.com.   Find all Episodes here: https://www.dorothyratusny.com/wisdompodcast/ Love in your inbox?

A-HA MOMENTS: It matters that you find and feel joy in the real meaning of the holidays.  Practice being love, bringing joy, and offering peace as you cultivate the present moment experiences of wonder, joy, and enchantment at the holidays. PRACTICAL WISDOM: It is you that co-creates the magic; by choice.  This episode offers an experience of high level consciousness and the best strategy for cultivating magic, wonder and love.    Do you aim to recreate the magical moments of holidays past?  Do you imagine yourself at a particular moment in time during childhood where everything was enchanting; surreal, and as if you were living in a fantasy?  We tend to go to moments of our childhood as they evoke imagination and powerful imagery that immediately places us back in that time of innocence, of wonder, and of belief in the magic of the holidays.  Do you think back to memories that evoke pure joy, laughter, and fun, so that you can feel those precise feelings now?   As a child, you may have anticipated what gifts were waiting for you under the tree on Christmas morning or what you might receive on every night of Hanukkah. As an adult, I encourage you to decide how you will curate magic and wonder by design so that you can experience joy, anticipation, excitement, and of course love because you've opened your heart to it; and because of the actions that you've taken to feel magic through the acts of giving, of being grateful, of loving kindness and of nurturing your relationships with your loved ones.   In this episode we dive into the best strategy for curating the magic of the holidays; and for experiencing joy in the anticipation of new experiences and shared laughter and fun.  I hope that you will want to continue using these Three Best Practices as 'the' strategy for how you live life!     Discover new ways to feel the magic and wonder of the holidays by opening your heart; and by being grateful for everything as it is now.  What can you say and do to bring joy and comfort to others through your kind words and actions?   Let's begin with a few questions.  Right here is a perfect opportunity to engage your inner wisdom.  Let whatever intuitive answers that rise up, be what you give your attention to.  Grab some paper and a pen because you are going to want to capture the first impressions and ideas that enter your mind.  These are important and will be  worth exploring more as you decide what new actions and thoughts you will hold for what you wish to co-create.   What are your sources of joy?  What allows you to feel happiness easily?  Write your answers.  Point form.  Dare to speak these aloud so that you can hear the enjoyment in your voice as you speak your words.   Next ask yourself: How will I feel love, joy and happiness throughout the holidays?  The key here is: how will you feel this for yourself.  (For example, do you need to to be kind to yourself to feel love?  Do you feel joy and happiness when you are doing something that you enjoy?)  Take a few moments here and consider this.  Let whatever impressions and pictures that come to mind be helpful cues for you.  Record your answers so that you can remember this inspiration and implement it.  Your visual prompts and ideas will help you create a game plan.  The notes that you are making right here, right now will help you decide the strategy of the next several days and weeks of the holidays.  It may also give you new ideas for the best practices in which to live your life.   As much as we all love to feel enchantment, magic, and wonder; which is often cultivated by reminiscing about a past memory or experience that we associate with feelings of love and joy, I want you to decide how you will evoke these incredible feelings by choosing the specific actions and the attitude that will allow you to feel the way you want to feel throughout the holiday season.  And, and if you've already figured this out, yes indeed - this is about what you can do to evoke these feelings and not what you might wait for or hope that someone will do for you.   We often idealize a situation that we would like but without taking all of the steps that ensures that we may have this.  This is how you manifest your reality.  If you haven't yet, please listen next to Episode 8 of the WISDOM Podcast which is all about how you manifest your desires.   In thinking about how you will decide to feel the magic, wonder and love at this time of year, my hope is that this becomes a plan that inspires you to choose how you want to feel and experience life; and to remember that above all else, you always have a choice; and that it is you that defines your magical moments, whether at the holidays or any time because of your ability to hold presence in the moments of your life and to look for and see the beauty, the magic, in most everything; and perhaps in all of life.   Click to Tweet!  What allows you to feel joyful at the holidays?  Does happiness and joy originate within you; and with your choice to be joyful, kind, and loving?   What makes the holidays enjoyable, less stressful and chaotic, more nourishing of love and self-care, is a rather simple yet ingenious formula - your thrive guide if you will, consisting of three effective principles or 'best practices'.    First: 'Be Love'.  Practice giving love to yourself - first.  Honour what you believe in and what is right for you (especially since others have different value systems and beliefs relating to the holidays).  Ensure that you have ample time for giving to yourself; for what is important to you, and what nourishes your soul.  This will always be healthy practices that allow you to feel 'in-balance', supported, and uplifted.  Giving to yourself first is not selfish.  The definition of selfish is to lack consideration for others; and to seek or focus on your own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.  Giving to yourself is self-nourishing, and builds healthy self-worth. It is necessary for your well-being and positive mental state to care for and be loving towards yourself.  As you practice and nurture self-love, it is easier to be loving to others; to give to others of your time and care, because you have first been able to care for your needs.   The questions and visualization we did a moment ago was to reveal to you what you need to feel happiness, joy and the energy of love.  Ensure that you take these ideas and implement them daily.  As the holidays approach and then as you become immersed in them, give to yourself as the first task of the day; even if in small ways.  To acknowledge love unto yourself will have great payoffs.  You will feel more 'in balance', happier, more easily able to navigate stress and challenges, and you will find it even easier to give love to others.   This first principle is also a best practice for how to live life.  Learn to take care of your needs on a regular (moment-by-moment) basis so that you can easily be at your best, and to be this with others.  Consider that when you are agitated or in a low mood, it will be more difficult to wear a smile and engage with positivism.  From a positive mood state, it is far easier and less stressful to engage in conversation and to be 'on' for the moments when you are in settings that are challenging.  If it helps, repeat the mantra: 'be love' or 'I am love'.  It will remind you of your higher consciousness directives and it will help so much with a joyful, loving holiday experience.   How do you become better at the choices that will help you take better care of yourself and do what nourishes your soul?  How do you better assess your needs and give yourself more love when there doesn't seem to be enough time in a day for this?   Here are some best practices and the positive mindset that is needed to ensure that you take the best care of yourself because to do so is self-nourishing and self-love.   1. Self-care and self-love begin as a mindset.  It's something that you must decide is important first in order for you to make this a priority in your life.  In the questions that you have already answered about what are your sources of joy and happiness, use your answers to inspire a plan for how you will practice self-care, balance, and love directed unto yourself during a time of year in which you may feel more pressure and external demands from others, and especially if you are new to this practice.  This is why it's important to decide and map out in advance, what you are comfortable to do, and what you will decline.  Saying 'yes' to everything may be helpful for

A-HA MOMENTS:  If you look outside of yourself to feel worthy and lovable, you make others responsible for your feelings.  Others can never fill the void that comes with not believing in your worth.  There is a specific process for learning self-love and building self-worth that I can help you with and it includes rewriting your core beliefs.  Loving yourself unconditionally is what allows you to live nourished, uplifted and to thrive. PRACTICAL WISDOM:  “When you feel value and worth; when you feel successful by your own definition, it is easier to feel deserving of love; love that is directed towards your self.” - Dorothy Ratusny      💕 Perhaps one of the greatest sources of happiness and well being comes directly out of our ability to love our self and to be able to receive and internalize the positive words and actions of others; to allow the love and kindness from others to be felt deep within our being. After all, we thrive in knowing and feeling that we are loved. So how appropriate is it as we are coming up to the one day of the year where our focus is on love? Predominantly romantic love but hopefully we are also able to think of love as a human construct that we can live as. In this episode, we examine why it is so important to be able to feel loved by others and unto our self and how can we be much better at this. I invite you to find a comfortable place where you can listen taking in the ideas, the concepts and feeling the importance of what it means to receive the love that others have for you and to have it also for yourself as the most definitive means of feelings and knowing your wholeness.   Do you let love in?  Are you ready to? It is possible to shower others with love and kindness; to think of others' needs and to give ceaselessly of yourself - and yet feel unloved, unappreciated, or undeserving of love. "Helping others, being kind, thoughtful, and generous of spirit - is how you are love in action; and yet being love does not predicate that one is able to feel deserving or worthy of love - and to let it in (to receive it fully)."   How is it that 'giving love' can seem easier than receiving it? What makes it so difficult to feel loved?    I think of all of the caregivers of the world, and the reasons for why they give. The first reason may be the most obvious; that they are simply following their instinct; they are acting with the intention to do for others something that they believe will help them, that will allow them to feel happy; and that spreads love and kindness purely for altruistic reasons. Giving comes easily as they follow their natural yearning - an innately driven desire and flows ceaselessly from one’s heart as it remains open in loving kindness. But are there are other reasons for why we give? When you give of yourself, is it unconditional, do your require anything in return?   Why can it be easier to give love than to receive it? Since it is your fundamental nature to be love, naturally you want to give love to others and you can do this even if you don't like or love who you are.  If you dislike yourself or feel undeserving of love, then giving love to others is one way that you intrinsically feel better about yourself (and you should) - since being loving-kindness is the highest ideal to live as. If you were reared to believe that love was conditional; that you had to earn it through good behaviour or tasks completed - then you may have grown up believing that you have to give and do for others first in order to receive love, acceptance, approval, or anything else that you needed.  You may also have been taught that you must always give more than what you receive.      Giving of yourself, seeking to please others, and placing others' needs before your own - can be both a deliberate and an unconscious means of seeking love.  This type of love is considered conditional. If you do not feel secure in a relationship, if you have been taught by your earliest experiences that you must do for others in order to receive love, if you find it difficult to take in (to receive) words and actions depicting love that are given to you by another - then your kindness and care may at times be driven by your need and desire to feel loved - even if you still struggle to feel this.  Acts of kindness - of giving and doing - are one way that we are able to show love.  Yet, are we doing for others in part because we have learned through experience that we may receive love in return for our loving actions?      Knowing that you are deserving of love originates in how you feel about yourself.  Being secure and confident in yourself; appreciating who you are - even as you may be seeking to improve aspects of yourself reminds you that the deepest experience of consistent and affirming love is what you feel unto yourself.  It is what you are wholly responsible for.   This is self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love. When you love yourself without conditions (including the parts of you that you are seeking to change and improve - by choice), then giving of yourself may be wholly altruistic rather than out of a need to seek praise, approval, and love.  Self-love and acceptance is what you may continue to foster and develop throughout your lifetime.  It may be said that you can become better at loving your self unconditionally - with daily positive self-talk, 'right' action that supports your authentic self, and the feeling of gratitude that comes with your willingness to acknowledge your goodness and all that you are.     "Your kindness and love in words and actions without a need (or desire) to receive anything in return is an example of unconditional love - towards another."   - dorothy ratusny     Unconditional love can seem fleeting at times.  When you are in a positive mind set; when you are happy and confident, it is easier to like and love your self and to be loving kindness towards others.  Unconditional love is present in the moments when you are most characteristically your authentic self.  This is an important reason why we all need to live honest and true to who we are; because accepting and loving our authentic self is easiest when we seek to live this - to be authentic first and in all moments.     Here is a question to ask yourself: Can I love and cherish myself as I AM without needing anyone to approve of or validate me?   What is the true meaning of self-love? How can you practice self-love in ways that nourish and soothe you; and that feel fulfilling? What is needed in order to feel self-love unconditionally and unequivocally?   Not only does it feel good to contribute to another’s happiness; but positive words and actions directed towards yourself, helps you to feel good, deserving, and of value.  It also reaffirms the following questions: Do you rely on the praise and love of others in order to feel loved? and Do you give ceaselessly to others but find it difficult to receive and internalize or 'own' the praise and kindness that is given to you? The origins of feeling unworthy and undeserving of love have deep roots often buried in childhood and reinforced with many experiences that you believed to be 'true' and which caused you to discount your goodness and to feel unlovable.  These core beliefs underlie the depths of your self worth; affecting how you think and feel - and what you believe about your self. If you look outside of yourself to feel worthy and lovable, you make others responsible for your feelings.  Others can never fill the void that comes with not believing in your worth.  There is a specific process for learning self-love and building self-worth that I can help you with and it includes rewriting your core beliefs.  Loving yourself unconditionally is what allows you to live nourished, uplifted and to thrive.       If you want to let love in, if you want to feel more love, including more self-love, I want you to consider this strategy: Define success on your terms.  Create your personal DEFINITION OF SUCCESS. Create a list of the virtues and attributes that you admire and approve of, and which you already possess.  Use this definition as your new measure of success.  Let your definition of success be about you - and not others.  There needs to be no comparison - only the acknowledgement of your goodness to yourself. For example: humility, kindness, taking action for what you believe in, self-honesty, self-worth, love of learning, patience and resilience.  Download the pdf here and get started.  Decide what will be your Definition of Personal Success!   This definition is powerful because it identifies wh

This makes the determination that you hold for your sankalpa of the upmost importance, mobilizing you towards an outcome aligned with your highest level goals, beliefs, and values; and for all of who you desire to become. A-HA MOMENTS:  “With your sankalpa, you live in alignment with what your inner wisdom, your heart's desire is compelling you to act upon.” - dorothy ratusny PRACTICAL WISDOM:  Think of your sankalpa as a call to action.  It is designed to be results-driven, aimed towards fulfilling a particular life goal.   A sankalpa should respect and uphold the deeper meaning of your life and is a declaration you can call upon to reinforce your true beliefs and guide the choices you make through life.  Source: Intuitive Flow In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I'd like to explain why a sankalpa is different from a typical resolve or declaration of intention and how it can specifically help direct you on your chosen path with reverence towards what is most wanted and important for your life fulfillment.  I also want to share how a sankalpa helps you to uphold with clarity and greater ease, the ways of being that support you in living as your highest or ideal self. I think the timing of this topic is perfect if you are listening at the time of its release when, as we near the end of this first month of a new decade, many continue to look for new practices and life changing habits that will allow them to live a more fulfilling and compelling life. Last week’s episode of self-discipline comes as an important reminder that all of what we desire most is possible; we also need to do the work that effectively brings what is most desired to us. A sankalpa - our focus for this episode - is an important part of holding resolve, determination, and the will to succeed towards what you desire most for yourself and your life because of what feels deeply meaningful and of purpose. A sankalpa is a solemn vow, conviction, determination, or will.  It is a way to set a powerful intention that connects with your heart's deepest desire to support your highest truth (your dharma or life's purpose).  Sankalpa (Sanskrit: सङ्कल्प) is the compound of two Sanskrit words: kalpa means "vow, or the rule to be observed above or before any other rule" and san "a concept or idea formed in the heart" (and therefore a connection with your highest truth).     “It is what you define and live that allows you to enjoy a life of meaning and purpose; aligned with the reason for why you are here right now - in this space and time.” - Dorothy Ratusny What is Sankalpa? A sankalpa is a declaration of your commitment to uphold and follow a path that allows you to live your truth (your dharma). The concept of sankalpa appears in the most ancient of all the Vedic texts; the Rig Veda.  The art and science of applying sankalpa was considered to be the foundation for achieving or becoming anything of real significance. What makes it unique is the practice of listening within to your inner wisdom – most specifically to your heart centre and to your soul consciousness.   "On this path you must first awaken your sankalpa shakti - the power of will and determination" - Swami Rama Your sankalpa; stated as a desire, an intention, an affirmative action that originates from your soul; liberates you as you choose what is already a deep yearning and an awakening to fulfill your greatness.  Your greatness is not something of ego, but the ability to live your highest potential; to awaken to the fact that you are far more than your physical mind and body. To harness your ultimate potential and power includes being aware of your higher purpose here in this lifetime. If you would like to take in more on the topic of living your greatness, you must listen to Episode 1 of The WISDOM podcast for how to live as your most beautiful and authentic self.   A sankalpa is born from an innermost reverend and spiritual yearning that is beyond any physical, mental, or emotional need.  This distinct inner knowing is what rises up from within perhaps as what appears to be a quiet murmur at first, and then a clear and discernible truth that guides and directs you as a beacon of light towards your highest potential, as you walk through life. I invite you to join me here as we explore how your life will support your highest level ideals when you use a sankalpa as a daily practice; how your sankalpa serves your spiritual journey guiding you to discover and actualize your greater purpose in this life; and how to formulate your sankalpa that aligns you with what is most important to you.   “A sankalpa is a statement of purpose, a vow, a desired intention that is aligned with your soul's desire and that which allows you to carry out a greater purpose for your life - in this present reality.” - dorothy ratusny   A sankalpa reflects your daily desired actions and decisions, and the best choices that you could make towards how you choose to live and who you are. It is your deepest intention and determination – your resolve towards something of authentic importance that aligns you with a deeper meaning for your life.   How Do You Open Your Heart? Find the Answer in this Guided Meditation: You Are A Being of Love   What makes a sankalpa powerful is its ability to transform your life because of what you have chosen to follow and be (this is your ‘intention’), and then as you live this in practical ways. A sankalpa in a scientific context is a form of neuroplasticity; the ability of the brain to change continuously throughout one's life.  How Does This Work?  As you integrate your wishes and heart-driven desires, into the neurological processes of the brain, this translates into how you function and feel in your body, and ultimately your actions and the outward appearances of who you continue to become. Whereas neuroplasticity is neurological and focuses on the brain as an organ, a sankalpa practice originates in desire and is emotion-driven; your deepest yearnings rise up to propel your actions towards what is most wanted.  You must engage your heart's wisdom to experience this deepest resolve, originating within you.   “Think of your sankalpa as a guiding drive or desire of the soul that encodes within the subconscious, a path and template towards how to best live your greatness.” - dorothy ratusny   Because there is a bidirectional communication between the brain and the body, this provides a mechanism for our mind to influence our body as well as for our body to influence our thoughts and feelings, and what become our beliefs.   “Your sankalpa – your intention must be reflective of both mind and body and what is desired most deeply of your heart.” - dorothy ratusny   If you set an intention or resolution in the traditional way, by deciding in your mind what is wanted; if it is a desire based upon satisfying some external requirement or a belief that you need to accomplish or achieve something in order to be happy, successful, or to feel at peace, then you have similarly decided that you are not enough as you are.  This is both a flawed position – and an 'untruth'.  It also creates dissonance and discrepancy between what is wanted and the thought or belief that you are not this already (or you do not have this).   When you create a sankalpa statement that is summoned by your deepest desires, and as your mind and heart are aligned towards this desire, and as you rehearse your sankalpa daily to reaffirm what will support this intention, using your will and desire to carry this out, you will be inspired to live a life of your choice that reaffirms what you already are and simultaneously who you are becoming. When you have a inner desire, expressed as a heart-driven calling; whether you call this a life's purpose or a life quest - your sankalpa and the achieving of this aligns you with the greater purpose for your life; it is sparked by a deeply conscious inner desire. A sankalpa engages your heart's deepest desire for you to align your thoughts and actions with your true essence; and to know that you already are whole and complete.  Your sankalpa is a declaration of you aligning with your highest self to be all that you are capable of becoming.   Choosing Your Sankalpa Setting a sankalpa becomes an opportunity for clarity, self-reflection and discovery, a time to formally align yourself with your highest level goals and a particular direction that you wish to follow in life.  It can assist you in formalizing your purpose, reinforce affirmative action and build self-worth.

A-HA MOMENTS: Forgiveness is: (Hint: break it into two words) 'for' 'giving' yourself the freedom to let go of the past and whatever has happened including what you or others have done that is not a true portrayal of who you are.  Forgiveness is 'for''giving' acceptance to what has already happened; and what you have no power to change, only the power to live from the present moment.  PRACTICAL WISDOM: You will know when forgiveness has been completed because you will be able to think about the other person, yourself, or the situation and no longer feel the hurt, anger, (or self-loathing) that was once present.  You will instead feel an ease and lightness in your heart centre, and you will be able to identify the feeling of unconditional love and acceptance that comes about from making peace with what 'is'.  "It is your actions and mindset of the present, that allow you to make peace with your past."   What do you need to forgive?  (What actions, words, or thoughts?) Who do you need to forgive?  (Including yourself.) If you want to forgive, its likely because you want to free yourself from a situation in which you are harboring feelings of hurt, anger, or another form of suffering.  Forgiveness is (Hint: break it into two words) 'for' 'giving' yourself the freedom to let go of the past and whatever has happened including what you or others have done that is not a true portrayal of who you are.  Forgiveness is 'for' 'giving' acceptance to what has already happened; and what you have no power to change, only the power to live from the present moment.  Are you ready to experience the release of your hurt and suffering?  Have you been telling yourself that you have forgiven another (or yourself) because you very much want to, but in thinking about past situations, do you still feel all of these same hurts, sadness, or anger.  Do you know that you can forgive completely?   So let's begin with a new way of thinking about forgiveness that transcends all world religions and is the most direct path to inner peace.   Forgiveness Comes From Love "Love for another, or yourself needs to come first; in place of what hurt, anger, blame, and suffering you have been holding onto.  When you choose to forgive, it requires your willingness to make peace with what has happened.  If you hold onto hurts and situations in which you have been wronged, it will seem impossible to forgive a person or their actions, or both.  To forgive, first decide to accept; to make peace with whatever has happened by acknowledging that the past is unchangeable.  Then you can begin to hold compassion and love towards the person (and yourself) in the present.  Your love directed towards another or unto yourself is the most powerful tool for forgiveness."     -Dorothy Ratusny   Forgiveness is 'giving up' the suffering that exists when you hold onto past situations and experiences and whatever is not in the present moment.  Choose forgiveness above anything else.  Let your desire for feeling peace, and for accepting what already is, be what gives you objective and the ability to be 'here and now'; your life is no longer lived in the re-experiencing of past hurts and wounds. Forgiveness allows for the release of what causes you to suffer.  This includes any of the self-inflicted hurt that you have been carrying, because of your decision (whether consciously or unconsciously) to continue re-living the unpleasant thoughts and feelings of that situation as you maintain blame directed towards another (or yourself).  It is unlikely that the other person is even aware of the extent of damage or hurt that they have caused.  It is not up to another person to make you feel better.  Even with an heartfelt apology, you can still harbour negativity and hurt feelings.  So it becomes a decision; your decision to release the past through acceptance and the willingness to live life in the present and to do what is going to be most helpful for you to feel happiness and whole.  Consider if you have been unable to forgive what has happened; such as a car accident, or an injury or illness, and you continue to point blame or fault for the situation.  This will inhibit your ability to physically, emotionally, and mentally heal; to recover fully; and to feel at peace.  Remember that your power lies in your ability to live of the present moment; to act and react based on your present moment experiences including what you will remind yourself of that is not within your control, nor ability to change. Click to Tweet  "It is your actions and mindset of the present, that allow you to make peace with your past." - Dorothy Ratusny   Forgiveness may take months, or even years to complete; based on the depth of your hurt and how long you have carried this suffering, giving it your (unwanted) attention and energy.  Think of it as similar to layers that you shed, each layer is what you have constructed to armor you; to protect you from feeling hurt or angry even though these layers have not been needed.  Instead, you have simply needed to refrain from holding onto and reliving what is past. You will know when forgiveness has been completed because you will be able to think about the other person, yourself, or the situation and no longer feel the hurt, anger, (or self-loathing) that was once present.  You will instead feel an ease and lightness in your heart center, and you will be able to identify the feeling of unconditional love and acceptance that comes about from making peace with what 'is'.     Complete forgiveness is.... the release of your suffering and blame, in place of holding peace; and for 'for' 'giving' thanks for your ability to do so. Check out this video on Complete Forgiveness:    Here's why you need to forgive: When you feel consumed by hurt, sadness, anger, or any other difficult emotion whenever you think about a situation, an exchange of words, the absence (or presence) of an action, or any other condition that did not meet your expectations, you suffer.  Each time you think about the situation or the other person, you relive the same feelings - usually as intense as they were originally.  Your belief that you have been wronged and that you are justified for feeling the way you do keeps you in a cycle of suffering. You choose forgiveness because you no longer wish to relieve the past.  You recognize that it is far better for you to feel at peace with a situation, yourself, or another, rather than continue to harbour damaging and unresolved feelings, because these feelings left unhealed continue to cause discomfort.   The 7 Pillars of Forgiveness describe the steps that lead you from what you feel now, into peace, acceptance and a new reality of truth that is comforting.  Each pillar is also a best practice that makes it easier for you to walk through life without forming hurts and for holding grudges.     One of the most helpful 'life rules' that you could ever live by is to accept others as they are; and without needing them to uphold your standards.  You may be attentive, and to assess what you observe in others, and yet it is helpful to do so without criticism or judgment.  You can always offer your help and guidance to another in a desire to help them improve their situation, together with healthy boundaries that reflect your understanding that it is always up to another how they will choose to be.  This is one of the most effective life practices for having healthy, loving relationships.   'Forgiveness is always needed whenever you are not willing to let go of hurt; and when you have made another responsible for how you feel.'  - dorothy ratusny Click to Tweet!   Afterward: Whenever you observe others

A-HA MOMENTS: You are not alone in 'That Sunday Feeling' . Use each of these 10 best practices as the cure, and as a new way of approaching life as you now know it. PRACTICAL WISDOM: Unlock your infinite potential.  Understand the source of your Sunday blues.  If you feel largely unmotivated and unhappy because your work (and perhaps other aspects of your life) are unfulfilling, then I urge you to identify what is meaningful and to examine what your greater purpose is in this lifetime.  In this episode I offer the strategy for how to do this so that you can live a life of purpose and meaning and without needing to uproot your life as you know it. New research from The Sleep Judge (an organization that helps people get a good night's sleep) showed that an astonishing 81 percent of people said they experience an elevated sense of anxiety on Sunday in anticipation of the week ahead.  15 percent of people polled in the study reported feeling dread first thing Sunday morning, 29 percent in the afternoon; and the majority - 57 percent of people reported feeling especially stressed on Sunday evenings.   According to a survey conducted by the job site Monster, up to 76% of Americans self-reported having “really bad” Sunday night anxiety, compared to 47% of people throughout the rest of the world.   "95% of people that experience Sunday anxiety said they believed it was due to work stress.  38% of people who experience Sunday night anxiety have admitted to calling in sick on Monday due to their symptoms." Releasing each episode of this podcast on Sunday evening, was a decision inspired by this real phenomena that millions of people experience every week.  If you or someone you know has experienced dread, anticipatory anxiety, panic attacks, a depressed mood, and disturbed or restless sleep on Sunday; wishing that you did not have to go to school or work, and a job or career that is unfulfilling and stressful and into the grind of another week that leaves your stomach turning with nausea and anxiety; then this episode is for you.   Here I'm going to share 10 best practices for curing 'That Sunday Feeling' and I'm also going to take it one step further. If you have been struggling in your job, knowing that your current career is not for you, and you either know or are working to figure out what your ideal job looks like, let me help.  A little later into the episode, I'll be sharing the 5 questions that will help you define your life's purpose and how to live this in your new career or dream job.         Take the Dharma Path Type quiz to discover your archetype and unlock your soul’s purpose - the key to living your best life.          I want you to have the practical wisdom and tools to unlock your infinite potential; and to find peace and purpose on the path to awakening your authentic power.  And if this helps most on a Sunday when you may be feeling a little sad or a lot anxious about your week ahead; then herein is a proposed cure.  Please, allow the wisdom within each of these episodes into your heart; allow these offerings of truth to be your guide and inspiration for living a consciously-driven life, for encouraging you to live as your authentic self; and of course to use the practical tools and teachings; guiding principles and best strategies to be the new and enlightened way in which you live.  'That Sunday Feeling' can be described as an internal smoke alarm.  It is meant to draw your attention to what is not quite right; of what you may be unsatisfied or unhappy with; and the low levels of sadness or despair that you feel.  That gnawing feeling is a reminder for you to take action towards the change you want; even if this may seem difficult, or impossible.  'That Sunday Feeling' may highlight the jarring truth that perhaps you have not made the most of your weekend; of planning and doing what nourishes you, including what chores and household tasks are needed to help you to feel positive about being productive and organized so that you will have things in place for the week ahead. For students dreading a return to class on Monday, perhaps you've left your homework in a pile on your desk all weekend, and now your Sunday is consumed with cramming in what you've often told yourself you should have started on Saturday morning.  'That Sunday Feeling' could also be because you have to face a teacher who is unkind or unfair; or peers who bully.  Perhaps you feel like an outsider in your peer group.  I also work with teens who feel the anxiety and dread every Sunday evening, but also on most mornings, because of the uncomfortable and unpleasant environment which can affect their ability to study and focus.   Click to Tweet!

The Three Secrets of Manifesting the WISDOM Podcast  Season 1  Episode 8 with Dorothy Ratusny   TIMESTAMPS: Podcast Intro:  0-2:10  |  Have You Asked These Questions About Manifesting? 2:11 |  One Secret to Inspire You:  2:48  | The Universal Manifesting Question:  4:12  |  The Truth Is That You Have Always Been Manifesting:  5:17  |  You Are Attracting What You Are:  7:08  |  3 Tips to Make Manifesting Even Easier:  8:26  |  The FIRST SECRET of MANIFESTING:   11:08  |  The SECOND SECRET of MANIFESTING:  14:56  |  How to Build Confidence in the Having Of What You Want:  16:48  |  REAL LIFE CLIENT Story:  22:12  |  The THIRD SECRET of MANIFESTING:  25:00  |  A Secret BONUS HABIT FOR MANIFESTING:  27:45   Is there a deeper secret to why some people seem to have so much abundance and privilege in their life? It can’t possibly be just luck? And if you’ve heard the word manifesting and if you observe that you are doing this, is there a secret to how it’s done so that you can be far more consistent in what you are manifesting, and by choice? If there is one secret that may inspire you to listen on, it is this: We all don’t manifest enough. You could be manifesting so much more each day, simply by having more clarity of what you want and knowing how to deliberately put this into motion so that you can witness its arrival – its manifest – in your present life. I think that this is such an important topic both for realizing how much you are in control of your destiny and also because to manifest reminds us of our powerful nature as we use our free will to decide and then receive all of what we want. I couldn’t be happier to share with you these simple, yet imperative three secrets to help you manifest all things.   How do you take an idea, a thought, something that you desire deeply, and turn it into a reality in the physical world?"  How do you do this repeatedly and for all of what really matters to you?  We're talking about manifesting; bringing a thought, an idea, a desire - into physical form. "When something is manifest - it is evident, obvious, apparent, and plain for all to see." Source: www.vocabulary.com You are already manifesting in all moments, often without realizing that you are doing this.  What I want to help you become better at is how to bring into your life what is most wanted, desired, and needed; what is most important to you, what you dream about, and what you have always wanted.  This is what makes manifesting powerful and deliberate and it allows you to play much more in your life because of what you are consciously seeking and in your ability to materialize your deepest desires.  The truth is that we've always been manifesting; its just that we have more recently awakened to this realization. You manifest by using your free will choice; by the laser-sharp focus that you use to direct your mind, and the intensity of emotion that you feel towards something.  However, if you are fearful, or dreading what you do not want; while powerful, your emotions (and your thoughts of what is unwanted) become what you are drawing to yourself because of the Universal Law of Attraction.  Because the Universe is energy, it acts as a mirror and a magnet, drawing to you what you are vibrating.  If your vibration or energy field is of pure and loving thoughts, you are attracting this.  In conscious deliberate manifesting, you are choosing what you want to bring into your life rather than what you don't want.    Whatever is your current reality has already been manifested because of what you have desired; or in some cases, what has been your focus of what you do not want.  In this episode of the WISDOM podcast, we dive into the ultimate three life hacks; the 3 secrets of manifesting that will enable you to consciously co-create with the universe (god, source, or whatever name you give to this infinitely abundant and intelligent universal consciousness).  Manifesting is about using the universal metaphysical law of attraction that's always in place, to your advantage; to harness and manifest what you want, and to do this as much as possible! It's important to know that you are always attracting what you are.  If you've noticed when you are in a positive mood for example, people seem to be friendly, things tend to work out easier and with greater ease for you, and you are more productive in your work.  The positive energy state that you are in, fuelled by your thoughts and feelings, is what attracts more of the same by nature of this universal law.  This is also why, if you are in a low mood, you likely will perceive tasks to be more challenging, difficult; and as if your life in these moments, is not moving in the same ease and flow.  Tweet this! "Manifesting is deliberate co-creating with the universe."  Since this is something that you are always doing; if you can get behind this, and use the best strategies for deliberating bringing into your life what you really want; you will feel the power you have to manifest everything.     Before we dive in, let me share a few helpful tips that will make it even easier for you to manifest. First, it's necessary to have clarity; to be absolutely certain about what you want or desire most - even if this is clarity about how you want to feel because your feelings are powerful systems of energy.  The best way to get clarity is to be completely honest with yourself about what you really want and why?  Tweet this! "Desires are heart conscious yearnings; they are meaningful and authentic feelings and ideas of what you deeply wish for or want."  - dorothy ratusny It's wonderful if your desires can be aligned with your highest self and the vision that you have to live your life's purpose.  Yet, every choice, no matter how insignificant it may seem, moves you along a trajectory; a path.  Let your desires be what inspires your path and what moves you towards your highest level goals and ideals.   Second, manifesting requires a commitment of letting go of any attachment to how your life will progress based on what you have decided for it and for instead holding an attitude of acceptance towards what comes based on the positive feelings that you have towards what you want.  You may not always receive what you desire in the precise way or timeline that you would like, and so it's important to allow for flexibility; to be open to the way in which your desires unfold. Third, pay close attention to your feelings as you are manifesting.  The moment that you no longer hold the same intensity of positive feelings for what you want, its important to examine if what you want is different.  If your desire has changed, align yourself with what is most important now.  Your desires like everything else, are fluid and transient.  Sometimes what you wanted very much is now no longer what you desire at all.  Always follow your heart.  Change makes way for what is better for you.   The first secret of manifesting what you desire most... (1) You must choose with your heart and feel the desired feelings as the true experience that you are seeking. Choosing with your heart is purposeful and deliberate.  Be definitive and unwavering by what you are guided by, what inspires you, and what dreams and ideals you think about most.  This is your inner GPS; following it allows you to live an abundant and love-filled life. Practice going within to listen, to hear and trust your inner voice.  Become better at quieting your mind in order to hear what is sometimes a soft whisper.  Knowing why you want something helps to clarify and validate its importance to you.  What matters most is that this is of your choosing, and that it feels right.  There may be times when you do not have a reason for why you desire something except that it is something that you feel strongly compelled to do or be.  This is actually a great sign that what you want is not based in ego but out of a pure and altruistic desire that satisfies a deeper yearning and one that is driven by your soul consciousness (your highest self). Tweet this! "The inner calling that you feel towards something is desire."  - dorothy ratusny      This desire is fuelled by inspiration and the deeper aspects of your soul made present as you take notice.  Most of the time we are so busy thinking, analyzing, and being distracted by an overload of sensory information, that it takes practice to hold stillness both physically and in our mind - if only for moments at a time.  As you become better at going inward, and paying attention to this inner dwelling consciousness, you will feel the guidance of your inner wisdom distinctly and you will be able to distinguish it from the voice of your mind.    Often the preliminary work that is needed for manifesting involves helping you to know your self best and to deepen your resolve and your confidence in lasting ways so that you can decide with certainty the life path that you want most; beginning with the steps that you know will help take you there (even if the path that you are on now is very different).  Simultaneously, building self-confidence will enhance your ability to trust in the decisions that you make as the right and best ones for you.  If you want to grow your confidence, please have a listen next to Season 1 Episode 6 of the WISDOM Podcast, where I've streamlined the process for how to become more confident into three powerful secrets. The second secret of manifesting... (2) See and believe in what you want. We underestimate the power of our thoughts and what we envision (the images we see in our mind) as how we manifest our future. When you are clear about something that you absolutely want, begin to see it as though it is already in existence in your life in the present.  This is a form of active daydreaming not too unlike what you did as a child.  Use your creative imagination and visualization skills to think about and daydream this ideal often.  This is also a p

Re-writing the narrative.   A-HA MOMENTS: Realizing and rewriting self-limiting core beliefs. Deepening your knowledge and confidence in who you are and that you are more than enough.   PRACTICAL WISDOM: Accepting what you cannot change and changing what you can to become stronger, happier and more confident.  Become a stronger more confident version of yourself.    REAL CLIENT STORIES: Love after loss, the 7 year itch, an Australian adventure and re-writing the narrative of those nagging core beliefs. Courtney was restless, He wasn’t going to change his mind. Jacob was widowed and had two young children. Adele was excited, but cautious. This is a story about choosing happiness and defying the stereotypes, about love, loss, uncertainty and travelling across the world to find self-love.   My client Adele* had been in a serious relationship with Jacob* for eight months.  Jacob was widowed and had two young children.  When they first began to date, Adele was excited, but cautious.  Her previous long term relationship ended abruptly after seven years.  Her then fiance Courtney* expressed to her one day that he hadn't been happy for some time; that he had been thinking about the rest of his life and the many experiences that he still wanted to have before settling down and having a family.  Adele intuitively felt as though there was more that Courtney wasn't telling her, but in the end, after several months of holding hope that they would get back together, Adele realized that Courtney wasn't going to change his mind; that he was having fun being single and living his life on his terms; and that she needed to move on.  After a prolonged time of intense grieving and the lingering confusion of not really knowing if there was something more; something that she may have done to cause this, Adele decided that a change of scenery would be a good thing for her, and so she left her job to travel for a year in Australia. When a love relationship ends; and if the revelation is that our partner no longer wishes to be with us; it often becomes a personal blow to our sense of self.  We internalize the ending of a relationship as a loss, as perhaps something that was our fault; and we are often left with unresolved feelings of confusion, disbelief, and sadness. A relationship ending can cause you to doubt your ability to believe that you are desirable and worthy.  It also has the potential of highlighting your insecurities and self-doubt.  This may cause you to examine what aspects of your self you may lack confidence in.  Therein begins your work - to deepen your knowledge and confidence in who you are and to know that you are more than enough. Adele blamed herself for Courtney's decision to end the relationship and questioned what she could have done or said that may have caused this.  When a love relationship ends despite our will, we might find ourselves deeply shaken; our confidence in our self and in feeling 'good enough' and 'desirable' may be damaged for a time or indefinitely - and we may find ourselves wondering if we will ever "find" someone again to love us (and would this next love last?)   "While you can't change the past, you can change the way you think about it and what effect it has on your present." - dorothy ratusny Tweet this!   A relationship can provide us with merit and the stability that allows us to feel approval, desirable, and loved; and yet it can also be a distraction from doing the work of loving and accepting our self as who we are; and as separate and unique from our identify as part of a couple. For many, sense of self is enmeshed with job title, accomplishments and success, socioeconomic status; and quite often the success of our partner and the accomplishments of our children.  It's only when you identify with who you are as separate from the many roles and responsibilities that you have, and from your relationships and affiliations with others, that you can truly own and internalize your self-worth and to know your authentic self. For Adele and so many like her who experience a blow to their confidence and their feelings of desirability at the time of a breakup; this would suggest that there is some unfinished work towards developing a healthy and autonomous sense of self. Starting a new relationship doesn't solve the quest of feeling confident and self assured.  Taking the time while you are newly single to develop a better relationship with yourself; to learn about who you are at this time and place in your life; to experience greater self-confidence, and to feel desirable and good enough for yourself - by your healthy standards, means that when you are ready to step into the next relationship, you will be certain of what you want and what you are not willing to settle for. Tweet this! Your relationship should never define how you feel about yourself or if you are good enough. A few months into her travels abroad, Adele met Jacob.  It wasn't long before they began dating exclusively and were in love.  When Adele's travel visa expired and she was required to return home, she became overwhelmed with feelings of insecurity, self-doubt and fear.  She had convinced herself that Jacob would forget about her and move on to someone new since now their relationship would be one of distance, and for an indefinite period of time until she could acquire a new visa. Throughout life, we are given replete opportunities to face our insecurities and fears.  We can choose to face these with a deep breath, guided by our inner knowing and our deepest desires of how we want to be; and embrace the challenges before us, knowing that to do so means that we will have a different outcome simply by our choice to react; to go after what we want rather than convince our self that we are not capable. To help us with this, it is important, in fact its critical - that we do the inner work of growing our confidence; of building our sense of self; of being self-assured in who we are.  Without self-confidence, we will continue to rely on others to help us feel better about our self, to validate that we are good enough and deserving rather than relying on our own belief and the self-knowledge that we are indeed more than enough, deserving, and worthy. Your sense of self is built upon the practice of knowing yourself well and being willing to live true to who you are; it means relying on your feelings of confidence and self-esteem; of being independent and autonomous; able to take care of your needs; and to take the necessary steps to overcome whatever setbacks or loss you might experience with dignity and self-reassurance.  Having a healthy sense of self means that you choose your forward movement along a path that you desire; with positive feelings and inertia, and to never give up on your self. If you rely on others for external feedback to remind you that you are desirable and good enough, then you will be vulnerable and dependant on a source outside of yourself; a source that you can never fully expect to provide you with accolades, encouragement, and love in the ways or distinct timing that you would need it.  Rather than rely on another person or a love relationship for your positive feelings of self-worth, ask yourself the following reflective questions as a way of determining how much confidence and esteem you hold that is based on your belief of who you are rather than on how others see or value you: Click to Download an Introspective Worksheet For Cultivating Confidence How well formed is your sense of self? What are the qualities that I value most about myself? (e.g. attributes, personality traits, my strengths, what I believe in, etc) What causes me to feel less desirable or unworthy?   What can I do for myself in these situations (or moments) to acknowledge my worthiness and value; and to uphold my confidence and self-worth? These questions are definitely worth the investment of time that you give them.  Once you have your answers, keep them close at hand to remind you that your confidence and worth originate within you.   If your confidence feels shaken after the ending of a love relationship, rather than jump immediately back into the dating world, even though you may think that doing so can help boost your confidence; remember that this very action is an example of looking externally for validation.  To begin a new relationship before you build confidence in yourself keeps you feeling vulnerable and overly sensitive to what others say and do; and it sets you up for feeling judged or rejected if your new partner does not provide you with what you are in search of; which is ultimately approval, acceptance, and love. Instead take this time whilst being single to look with honesty at where you feel a lack of confidence; and make it a priority to know yourself better; to ask the important questions (such as the ones I mentioned earlier and others) that will help you look within for building your confidence and sense of self, and to ultimately know yourself best in order to give

  When Self-Soothing Becomes an Addiction   The WISDOM Podcast  Season 1  Episode 3 with Dorothy Ratusny   TIMESTAMPS: Podcast Intro:  0-1:32  |  The Origins of Self-Soothing:  1:33 |  What Do You Do to Self-Soothe?  4:46  |  Self-Soothing as Self-Care and Self-Love:  5:36  |  Habit Forming Activities that Soothe Children:  9:43  |  Self-Soothing As A Coping Mechanism:  11:40  |  The Power of Self-Soothing:  12:37   |  Three Natural Sources of Self-Soothing:  20:13 |  How to Live in Homeostatic Balance Using Your Breath:  23:41        From infancy, each of us has a natural inclination to self-soothe.  Self soothing is a way of relaxing our central nervous system; of calming the body and mind; of experiencing relief and the absence of whatever stress we may be facing.  We experience self-soothing from our caregivers as touch, as love, as food and sustenance, and as a comfortable and safe environment.  For example having the comfort of our favourite toys or blanket always available, a means of exploring our surroundings safely; and to feel secure knowing that our needs are always taken care of.  Parents who are sensitive and attentive to their child's needs, and who also encourage their child to soothe themselves in healthy ways; foster these important abilities - of self-nourishment and self-care, learned from an early age.   As a child we instinctively look to calm our self in moments when we feel anxious, scared, angry, or sad.  Learning to self-soothe is vital for healthy development and it is an important skill for nurturing emotional and physical well-being.   The ritual of self-soothing continues throughout life.  How we are comforted and soothed as a child influences the habits that we adopt to soothe our self as adults.  We often don't consider self-soothing as a strategy for feeling comfort, ease, and relief each time we feel anxiety, fear, sadness or any other unpleasant state; and yet it is perhaps the most important means of feeling better.   We may not make the direct connection between what we or our caregivers did to comfort and soothe our self in childhood, and what we continue to do today to alleviate tension, anxiety, fear; and to calm ourselves, to feel better, to escape momentarily from our life and to recover after uncomfortable, unpleasant, or threatening situations (usually situations where we have a lack of control, where there is conflict, or unrelenting stress; and in some cases - trauma).     Self-soothing tendencies can be a healthy form of self-regulation and a means of creating optimal balance between mind and body; if we choose behaviours that are helpful and healthy.   What do you do to self-soothe? Consider for a moment what you instinctively do to make yourself feel better? to escape? to reward yourself? to cope when feeling pressure and stress? to unwind and relax? The power of self-soothing lies in your ability to recognize the importance of being self-aware (mindful) of your needs at any given moment.  When you are out of touch with, or not attending to your basic fundamental needs; or if you do what you've always done to self-soothe rather than take notice of what you truly need; and how you might best give this to yourself, you will likely resort to the well-learned strategies that are already in place; most of which originated out of what you were taught and perhaps what you developed out of necessity in order to evoke feeling a way that is desirable for you.   Three of the most readily available and natural sources of feeling 'in balance' and 'in control' as productive and healthy means of self-soothing are: exercise, sleep, and meditation (which can also include prayer). As a special gift and practice, I invite you to experience this 15-Minute Meditation of focused awareness on your breath; and as a means of soothing self-regulation.  Meditation also helps by modifying the brain's activity to achieve calmness, naturally.  Consider this as a new skill that you develop with practice and patience; and as a helpful way to self-soothe- naturally.    Practical and Healthy Solutions for Self-Soothing:      INSTACALM Rx  a 15 Minute Meditation for Self-Soothing   Choosing to live in a state of optimal homeostatic balance helps bring to light the fact that self-soothing is a necessary and important life practice.  Most ideal methods are quite simple and require very minimal effort to practice readily.  You can begin to implement helpful self-soothing strategies as you learn how to be mindful; and by practising conscious awareness of how you feel and what you are in need of in any given moment.   One of the simplest and most powerful ways to self-soothe is to rely on your breath as a means of feeling calm and returning your attention to the present moment.  In the present moment you can best assess how you feel and what your needs are; in the present moment there can never be anxiety, fear, or sadness because in the present you are simply being.      INSTACALM Rx  a 15 Minute Meditation for Self-Soothing Instantly Access Instacalm Rx: A Meditation for Self-Soothing   Use your breath as a natural method of experiencing self-awareness.  As you become experienced with conscious (mindful) breathing (as one simple yet helpful strategy), you begin to see that deliberate conscious breathing is a powerful means of helping you reestablish focus, of calming your body and mind, and for feeling soothed. The enhanced awareness you experience from conscious breathing will also help you identify what you need in any given moment; so that you are able to provide this for yourself.  Most of us need only the simplest of things when we feel stressed, worried, angered, or any other unwanted emotion.  Any of your unhealthy choices are the automatic habits and unconscious actions that you had previously learned; and which have never truly been the right solution for feeling authentic happiness. "Your breath is the connection between mind and body and it is also a way for you to cultivate a connection with and to experience the Divine (what we call God, Allah, Source, Universal Consciousness)." - dorothy   I'd also like to share with you the science of why taking a deep breath feels so good; and the many health benefits of making this a conscious practice in your daily life.   A generous 'thank you' to Audio Engineer, A.

      The POWER of Emotional Connection In Your Love Relationship The WISDOM podcast  Season 1  Episode 2 with Dorothy Ratusny   TIMESTAMPS: Two Important 'Takeaways' From This Episode:  2:15  |  The Four Ways to Build Emotional Connection and Intimacy:  3:24 |  The Definition of Emotional Connection:  5:38  |  How Emotional Connection Happens:  6:23  |  One Assumption You Might Have About Love:  10:08 |  The Two Questions to Ask Yourself Which Determine Whether You Have Emotional Connection In Your Love Relationship:  12:04  |  Emotional Connection is Not The Same As Sexual Chemistry:  13:35  |  My Clients' Story - 'Meghan and Danny':  17:46 In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I share with you the four ways that emotional connection and intimacy are built; how to rebuild connection and intimacy; and the real life story of my client Meghan who thought that the connection and intimacy that she felt was mutual, until she got to know her partner Danny, far better.    One of the most important elements in determining the longevity of a mutually loving and healthy relationship is the degree to which both members of a couple feel emotional intimacy and connection.    In this episode, we dive into what is most needed and what holds a love relationship together through life's challenging moments; allowing a couple to feel an intimate and special closeness, the desire to remain faithful and committed to one another, and to continue to learn about each other.  This is a depth of emotional intimacy and connection that is cultivated and sustained throughout the course of the relationship.   How You Build Emotional Connection and Intimacy: (1) Authenticity:  be honest and truthful about who you are; be willing to reveal your personality, including your 'likes' and 'dislikes', what you think about and believe in, and the values that you hold. (2) Vulnerability:  Your willingness to reveal personal and intimate aspects of yourself (as you feel safe to do so) that you would not likely share with the rest of the world; admit your faults and wrong doings and be willing to apologize and make things right when you have hurt someone (including your partner). (3) Mutual Respect:  Be willing to uphold and maintain respect and kindness towards your partner even when you both may be in the throws of an argument (because you can destroy so much of the closeness and vulnerability that comes from opening yourself and sharing deeply when you are not respectful nor kind; or if you are at times - purposefully hurtful or vindictive). (4) Unconditional Love:  be love; purely, completely, and without conditions or expectations.   "Emotional connection in a love relationship is built on the intimate sharing of who you are, the personal details of your life (past and present), your future dreams and aspirations and who you still desire to be.  Connection and intimacy is cultivated out of your discerned liking (and love) of someone, your genuine interest and desire to learn and know more about the other person and to willingly reveal your whole self - with complete honesty and openness."    - dorothy ratusny   "One critical element required by both members of a couple when building emotional connection is complete honesty." - dorothy ratusny It is in being vulnerable and wholly honest with yourself first, that allows you to become more aware of what you may be in denial or avoidance of.  The deepest aspects of your self that you are able to reveal to your partner are often the aspects that need to be healed from your past.   In the early stages of dating, when you like someone and want to appear favourable in their eyes, it is natural that you want to show them the parts of your self that you want them to see.   The (deeper) emotional connection that you establish is built on your mutual ability to be vulnerable, to reveal all of your self even in moments when you are not at your best; and to consistently offer unconditional love, respect and kindness to your partner. You must speak up if their behaviour is undesirable or unkind but you can do so with love, respectfully.  This allows you to feel safe; to be secure in the commitment of your relationship; and to strengthen your belief in your worthiness of being loved.   "Emotional connection is established and deepened by your ability to trust in another wholeheartedly and to feel safe and secure that you will be accepted unconditionally and not judged for who you are."  - dorothy ratusny   "Our emotions serve as a strong indicator and a launching point for all of the choices we make since we are most influenced by how we feel.  The more information we acquire about someone that is pleasing to us (for example, as they present to us as sharing similar values, beliefs and life goals), the more appealing we find them as a potential life mate, and the greater our desire and attraction towards them."   "Emotional connection and support is expressed most readily through loving words, understanding, patience and thoughtfulness."     And a loving end note: Regardless of how long you have been in relationship with someone, the emotional connection must continue to be nurtured and coveted as sacred.  Sexual intimacy and physical affection can definitely help to keep an emotional connection strong; but it is also important that a couple be intimate in their sharing of thoughts and feelings; in working together on their life plans and goals; and in who each is becoming.      Click here to download Relationship Rx: A journal writing exercise for reflection and re-connection  A special thanks to my Audio Engineer, P.

  How to LIVE Your Greatness The WISDOM podcast  Season 1  Episode 1 with Dorothy Ratusny   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   Your G R E A T N E S S  is both your incredible potential for all that you are becoming and what you already are.  You live your greatness most readily (and naturally) by being your authentic self.  Your authentic or genuine self is another way to describe living your truth.   Here in Episode One of The Wisdom Podcast, I define what spiritual greatness is; how it has nothing to do with ego, but rather the conscious and deliberate way that you live your life, that aligns you with your infinite potential.    In this episode we dive into how you may live your greatness each day; and how doing so actually helps you to feel far better about yourself and to own your worth.   TRUTH SERUM: Greatness is not ego-centric, rather it is a way of describing your infinite potential as a being of love.  You live your greatness through deliberate acts of kindness, generosity, compassion; through being of service and giving of yourself, and by being loving without boundaries, expectations, or conditions.   A-HA MOMENTS: You also live your greatness when you are living as your ideal or highest self. This is living as the pure and most loving aspect of what you are.  Your highest self is often referred to as your inner being, source energy, the divine, and universal consciousness.   PRACTICAL WISDOM: You live your greatness by choosing a life that is authentic, based on knowing yourself best. When you allow yourself to expressively be your authentic self; when you follow a path of what you enjoy most; (and likely what you are naturally good at) and when you allow your inner guidance or intuition to guide you along a path of what is 'right' and 'best' for you; these are examples of living as your greatness - as your truth.   "You live your greatness by following a path that is authentic and right for you; and to follow this with your heart (and mind) open to the experiences of life; with loving kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.   Living your greatness is pursuing your path to the nth degree - immersed in it fully, and enjoying its beauty and perfection as it continues to unfold before you - and as you savour its welcome pleasures and bliss."              - dorothy ratusny      "Your true potential is your limitless capacity for greatness" tweet this    "You live your greatness by choosing a life that is authentic, based on knowing yourself best."  - dorothy ratusny      As a gift, I invite you to experience a Guided Meditation; titled 'My Ideal Self'.  You can experience your ideal self as a series of new thought ideas and a blueprint that inspires how you can live each day - even if you are new to the practice of Meditation.  All that you need to do is choose the space and time to be quiet and still, and to remain open without expectations.  During this meditation, allow your imagination to reveal the sacred imagery that will help you experience yourself as greatness.   I hope that you will feel encouraged to live your greatness, to appreciate every moment of your life, and to find - and live - your life's purpose.     A generous 'thank you' to Audio Engineer, P.

  The Three Practices of Self-Love The WISDOM podcast  Season 1  Debut Episode with Dorothy Ratusny   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 most important practices of self-love.  Use these practices daily to feel confident, to feel deep appreciation and love of yourself; and to be autonomous and self-empowered because of what thoughts and feelings you choose to hold.   Our rearing and societal influences 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 prove to others and our self that we are desirable and good enough.  We also look to our partner to love us in the ways that we need to be loved; and often without communicating our expectations of them.  Yet, without being able to provide love and care unto yourself, you never learn what it feels like to be whole.   TRUTH SERUM:  How good are you at practicing self-love? Use these three practices of self-love daily to feel confident, to feel deep appreciation and love of yourself; and to be autonomous and self-empowered because of what thoughts and feelings you choose to hold.  How you think and feel about yourself needs to reflect the truth; all that you are capable of and your inherent goodness; including your positive qualities and your effort to be your best self.    A-HA MOMENTS: When you acknowledge your goodness while holding the feeling of love in your heart, you validate and nourish your being.     PRACTICAL WISDOM:  Acknowledging your strengths, your accomplishments, and what makes you unique and special, allows you to internalize your positive and kind words.  Your practice of thinking and writing words of love to yourself become (the) positive messages that you adorn yourself with; to instill confidence, to feel positive, and which allow you to live as your best self.   Join me in this debut episode as we uncover innovate and effective ways to practice self-love as a daily habit.  Discover the three best practices that curate love from within.  Namaste!  💜   "When you acknowledge your goodness while holding the feeling of love in your heart, you validate and nourish your being."  - dorothy ratusny     +practical wisdom for love: Download this interactive, printable journal writing exercise.
