As the 3rd season of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life winds down, it was time to revisit the initial question of, "what is beautiful work?" Beginning with why do the work and the wonderful opportunities that can come both to your life and the world at large, the hosts speak into the big impact of inner work.

Inspired by the work of Caroline Myss, this meditation focuses on your first three energy centers or chakras to support your shift from a past-focused mind to a present-focused mind, drawing you into the life you want to be living. When we get quiet, and begin to observe the mind, it’s easy to see that habitual thoughts often occupy our thinking. These habitual thoughts generally stem from past experiences, causing us to limit our potential of moving into a more creative life experience. This meditation is meant to introduce you to your three lower energy centers (chakras) and use visualization and affirmations to focus your mind on what you more deeply desire for your life.

Many of us suffer in relationships because we find ourselves in conversations and situations where we don’t know how to proactively respond or act well. The hosts explore aspects of dealing with uncomfortable or painful situations of life so that one can minimize patterns of suffering. Beginning with patterns of criticism in relationships that feel harsh, to being told what to do by others when you aren't looking for that kind of advice, we lessen suffering when we able to respond in an empowered, direct and kind way. All of this means growing your comfort zone, pushing beyond what has been comfortable in your habits and relationships and into a new norm with less emotional pain.

Distractions and irritations can be a good excuse for not moving forward and pursuing or creating what you want in your life. Just like any excuse, it may seem like a legitimate reason for not getting something done or for doing other things, and yet in the end, it's letting life get away from you. So how do you reframe distractions and irritations as resistance to moving forward, and then work with it so that we can achieve what we want?
