Joyfulness Broadcast

A love-full episode that dispels dramatic illusions and imaginings of the "holier than thou" spiritual persona that I once held in mind and I'm sure, many still do. Fran Grace, the author of Power of Love, shares inspiration and insight into leading a life aligned with love. Fran shares how Dr David R Hawkins and his wife, Susan Hawkins, played a profound role in writing the book and in demonstrating to her - by virtue of who they are - what love truly is. Truly a great and fun listen for anyone interested in spirituality, love, and being their most joyful Self.

In this live recording of a one-on-one session, you'll be able to join Jeff in looking deeper into the source of fear and unravelling it. Jeff has 2 months left until his life coaching and energy healing course is finished and was experiencing some fear about what will happen after this. It brought up the deeper fear of "Am I good enough?" and "How will I make this work?" In this episode, we come to see that life is so much lighter and simpler when we see that it's not about "me". The less we think about "me" and the more we consider the "we" of life, the more joyful and harmonious life feels. But how can we do this? Let's explore it together in this episode!

In this episode, we are trying something new! Chandler was willing to have our session together recorded and shared here with everyone.

Those inner conflicts that we experience are actually shared! It can be tough going through life with the array of confusion, doubt, and fear that can make life feel quite difficult. So let's take some time to look deeper into it and see if we can support ourselves in feeling a little lighter, freer, and happier.

Can life feel effortless and easy? Explore that in today's episode. As we discover all the expectations and resistance we carry within ourselves, we can start to recognise that effort doesn't exist "out there". Instead, when things feel hard and difficult - at least on an emotional level - we can trace the root within our own minds. It is the resistance that makes things feel hard. As this is gently released, life becomes easier and far more enjoyable. In fact, we discover that our inner most nature is effortless and peaceful.

The mind - thought processes, logic, and ideation - is entirely based on what was or what might be. It cannot comprehend or recognise what is. In its preoccupation with what was and what might be, that which is now is missed. Yet that which is now is peace and calm itself. It is you. With the recognition that you are not what was or what might, but rather that which is, comes a deeply relaxing peaceful serenity. To subscribe for two extra weekly episodes you can click here. 

Beyond ideas, concepts, memories, and imagination, there is just this pure presence of awareness. Thoughtless. Desireless. Free and Formless. This is what you already are - your pure essence. It sounds foreign to the degree we have come to believe that we are a limited individuals with thoughts, viewpoints, and opinions. But is that what you are? Let's explore this together.

Each moment we drop trying to push life to happen for us, we re-discover that life is here with us and for us. That what we are is inseparable from life. We can build up our surrender muscle with just small things every day. Missed the bus - could I allow that and let go into life as it is now? Dropped a coffee mug. Lost a shoe. How much could we surrender? The more we do, the more at peace we are. Peace and surrender are one and the same thing. 

In life, we carry around a lot of inner pressure unnecessarily. Thoughts tell us that we need it and it helps us to feel pressure. But in actuality, it simply weighs us down and makes it harder to take clear effective action. It becomes more difficult to enjoy life when we carry around all that pressure. So in this episode, let's release some of that pressure. To work together, visit nickshibanov.com

Can there be problems without memory? We spend so much time bouncing around between what was and what might be. In this episode, allow yourself to drop into what is right here and now. The presence beyond memory. To explore this together visit https://nickshibanov.com/

Freedom is already what you are. It is not something that you have to get or earn or become. When awareness is noticed, then it is noticed that awareness is free. That freedom is awareness and that awareness is freedom itself. The word "freedom" and the word "awareness" appear different but beyond the appearance, there is just one presence. That one presence is what you are right now. It is beyond thought or images or memory. It is here in plain sight. It is now. Experience it with this guided release.

Just in being what you are, noticing that you even are, cuts right through any sense of problems or worries. Right now, notice that there is a presence here that allows for reading to happen. This presence is witnessing reading happening but is itself undisturbed and uninfluenced by the reading. This presence is what you are. Let's have some fun with this.

There is a calm presence behind the mental construct of memory and imagination. It is present now. The more it is noticed, the more obvious it becomes and the less can interfere with the inner sense of calm. This episode is here as a guided way to notice calm and deepen in presence. Like a warm hot chocolate for the soul. For a deeper exploration of this visit nickshibanov.com

The mind tends to look to the future for freedom. It ties freedom to conditions, achievements, things. But right now in this exact moment, beyond the appearances of perception, the stories of conditioning, and the imagination of the mind, there is the calm and peaceful presence of freedom. In this episode, we will notice it together. Join the Inner Freedom Now Fb group to continue the exploration.

When we embrace what is arising, then it is allowed to pass. When we resist or push back in any way, then we are holding it in place. This applies to feelings, thoughts, and life situations. Anytime we want to change something, we are resisting it. We are coming from a place of lack because we only ever want to change something if we feel a lack of something inside. As we embrace, we start to feel more and more full inside - like we don't need anything. When we feel that way inside, then our actions are far more powerful and we find that we don't have to change anything. In fact, we can just hold something in mind from an inner place of power and it will start to potentiate and manifest in our lives.  In terms of feelings we want to change, we will find that wanting a feeling to change is what holds it in place. The embrace is what allows the feeling to change. For support with this visit nickshibanov.com

We tend to spend so much time and energy on wanting without realising that it's possible to have without wanting. Here's what I mean by that - wanting implies lack of. As an energy, wanting is a sense of lack. Whilst having is a sense of being whole and having it all. So, counter-intuitively, we can actually let go of the feeling of wanting something and instead welcome the sense that we are already complete and whole now. How do we do this? One way, is to simply notice that the presence of awareness is already total and complete. It goes no-where. Does nothing. Is always present. It is always whole. Living more from this place, life becomes far more fulfilling and easy-going.

"Could I love them for it?" is a powerful question I originally heard in the Sedona Method Living Love course. It really helped re-contextualise my options and help me see that it's always available to just love someone for being the way they are - regardless of what that is. Undoubtedly, this brings up many defences in the mind and it can sound rather foreign and strange to love someone for something that isn't liked at first. But the power of this approach is incredible. In this guided podcast episode, we will walk through it together and you can see for yourself how powerful this simple question can be.

What does it mean to experience truly free relationships? What does that look like? In this episode, we will be exploring that question and unravelling what I have found to be some of the key obstacles to experiencing enjoyable and free relationships. One such obstacle being when we want to get security from outside of our own consciousness. In this episode, we will be recognising the security that is ever-present right now. As we recognise it, something magical happens to our relationships. Enjoy the show! Get the Free book here. 

Let's transform discomfort into comfort. Just as we choose to let something bother us, we can also let go of being bothered by something and let it be ok. Normally though, what we do is try to push down the discomfort. Try to make it go away. Fight it. This just inflates it further and feeds its power over behaviour and our state of mind. When we simply let go, the discomfort fades as it does. To explore this further together, feel free to visit nickshibanov.com

What am I? So much of our lives are lived on the surface. We focus on the specifics of the seeming problems. We focus on the stories that the mind generates. We focus on the drama. We focus on the upsets. We focus on what we want to change. Rarely do we stop and look deeper than appearances. Seldom do we delve to the core and truly investigate the most fundamental question: "What am I?" In this episode, let's pause together and take time to reflect on this most fundamental question. Let's take some time to explore this conscious presence. That which is present to these words. That which is prior to any opinions or judgements about anything. Before memory and distortion of perception. Fiona Moore works with people to explore such matters. She has really helped me! Learn more at fionamoore.com
