Description

So what is Heart-Based Living? 
Heart-based living is a choice, to be open...to notice and discover what may be limiting you from achieving what your heart truly desires.It is based upon the idea of focusing on things that matter and feeling the gains and positive byproducts from your deeper understanding and improvement. 
With so much happening around you, this is the time to find from within you the way to your personal happiness and success. These podcasts draw upon many common and habitual patterns, words and ways of being, that you may have been conditioned to accept as normal, and provide alternatives that break the cycles and have a therapeutic effect on your body, mind, heart and spirit. 
No matter the challenge, issue, situation, you will notice how the alternatives have a positive impact on your health and wellbeing, happiness and relationships and to what matters in your life. Contact us, with any questions or to continue the journey and ongoing practice towards this way of life.

Politeness vs truth

Politeness vs truth

2024-03-0618:04

In this podcast we look at how the notion of 'being polite' has impacted our ability to bring our truth and discernment with the truth in what we see around us.   In many instances we have come to see politeness as a sign of 'many things good' including respect, kindness, duty. However is that really true? And will politeness help us to determine what is really happening within us and in others? Will it help us to connect and sense what is beneficial to ourselves or our relationships with others? What are your thoughts on the content we have shared?

Once again, how the use of certain words can lead us astray and fuel perspectives that may not reflect what actually exists. IN this podcast, we look at how the word ’too’ is used, and what we can listen out for when we do. There are so many incidental ways we can improve, many of which are alternatives to what you may believe is the way. How do you feel about what we have shared? In these heart based living podcasts, we aim to share the small yet significant things to notice in yourself and outside of yourself, that influence the way in which you live, the way you feel, your health and happiness. 
In this podcast titled ‘Why Labels for Ourselves and Others are Limiting,' Tricia and Nigel look at the how the words, ‘I am...’ can contribute to a more fixed view. In the quest for honesty and what is real, telling yourself 'I am (funny, caring, compassionate, happy or any other label)' may inhibit noticing and expressing what is actually felt and happening for you.  It may lead you to believe the 'I am'  narrative, limiting the openness to see things differently or bring out more of what is there. How do you feel about the points raised here? In these heart based living podcasts, we aim to share the small yet significant things to notice in yourself and outside of yourself, that influence the way in which you live, the way you feel, your health and happiness. 
This podcast is intended to provide an alternative approach to New Year’s Resolutions. How do you feel?
Here we chat about how we come to do a lot of ‘telling’ in our communication. We have come to take on board what others are ‘telling us’ and from that, we seem to shape our lives and behaviours around that. How often do we listen and believe what others tell us without really exploring what that is for ourselves. Have we lost our ability to discover to better understand with open conversations? Are we using words and language to persuade? What is the intention? Perhaps we can notice what we are being told, who is doing the telling, and is there something  that is not the full picture, perhaps a conflict of interest. 
Here we discuss the impact of updating our knowledge so that we can being new practices to our life that may be more helpful to our wellbeing and bring better self care. So often we stick to habits and ways that have actually become outdated, without realising. We hope there are a few clues as to what might help you discover new ways that work for you not against you. In these times, it is really up to us, to be more discerning with our choices, so we can find more energy and time for things that we love and enjoy. Let us know how this fits for you. 
How often do we hear in ourselves and others, the expression, ‘I’ve let someone down.’Here we chat about how these words themselves, can have us feel and carry a massive weight with us! And is it really an accurate reflection of the situation?  Often behind any of our actions and choices, there are other factors that play a role in the outcomes, yet we don’t always see that.If you are looking to see things differently, to break some of the harsh patterns you may be living by, and bring more kindness, we hope this is helpful. 
Tricia and Nigel look at the impact that incentives are having on people. They share what they have noticed about the challenges associated with using this approach to boost aspects of performance. Some of the current incentive schemes have been ‘normalised’ as the way it is, and we hardly question or choose to do it differently. What is that? Let us know your thoughts. 
Tricia and Nigel chat about the changing nature of client service, and the impact it is having on the community. In the past, client service was personal. It gave people the opportunity to have conversations and share their experience and feelings. Nowadays, it has become more automated, to bring efficiencies to improve profit and outcomes. Is this approach, affecting an organisation / government / business’s  ability to truly live their values in relation to human care, wellbeing, and connection. Let us know your thoughts. 
Tricia and Nigel share their views when on feeling like you don’t fit in or feeling isolated or excluded from groups or situations. They share how as humans it is natural that we want to feel connected with others and sometimes this may lead us to try hard to act or behave in ways that help us be accepted. We may even do things that don’t really align with us and deep down it does not bring us happiness or belonging. They say if you are recognising that you are not fitting in, it may be a first sign that you realise you see things differently. And that is wonderful, because actually we are all unique and once we begin to discover who we are and what we are about, we can let go of trying to fit in and rather spend time bringing more of that person to light. This is when the ‘laws of attraction’ come into play, and a truer feeling of belonging may arrive. 
Over the years as we continue to satisfy our basic human need to belong, it seems we are searching for ‘how to be’ so that we ‘fit’. When we don’t gain the acceptance or feel we are not liked by others, we often ‘try’ something else, as we seek the elusive ‘something’ that will lead to our happiness. In this podcast, Tricia and Nigel have a chat about finding a more authentic sense of belonging, and thread some alternative perspectives that may be helpful. 
It is evident that relationships today can be challenging for all sorts of reasons. Past hurts, and ways we have come to behave in relationships, can affect the quality of our engagement and often can create situations that can harm both parties involved. This situation is one that we often hear about, so what is a heart-based living approach for both parties in this situation. 
We had a concern from someone who mentioned they were upset about a friend who no longer contacted them in the same way, and they were quite distressed about it. Nigel and Tricia spoke about this situation, and brought some Heart-Based Living approaches to it, which hopefully if you are experiencing something similar, you may find something helpful to observe in your own situation and practice in your life. Feel free to contact us or visit our website to ask any question that you have so we can bring a podcast related to it. 
How do we live from the heart? Part of that is about being able to freely express what is in your heart. So how do we do that, without falling into patterns that takes us away from bringing care to ourselves and others? In this chat, we look at noticing the difference with expression and the repetitive unhelpful and often negative narratives, we tend to stay in. Noticing, may be another step in moving away from unhelpful practices and moving towards more helpful ones. What do you feel about this? 
Heart-Based Living and Promises If we are truly ready to move to Heart-Based Living, looking at ‘words’ and their meanings and the impact they have on the way we live, is helpful. We decided to look at the word ‘promise’ and some of the challenges this brings. We look at alternative ways of expressing which includes stating an intention rather than a promise. Sometimes what you ‘promise’ may not be the best course of action, as things can change in any one moment. What do you feel about this notion of ‘promise’. 
If we aim to get to the heart of the matter, with what matters, it is helpful to challenge misconceptions and habits we have come to see as ‘just the way it is’. So this chat is around ‘busyness’. So often we hear or say ourselves, ‘I’m so busy’ in a way that suggests we’re missing out on something else more important because of it. If that is the case, rather than ‘so busy’, how would it feel to respond with ‘I’m giving my energy and time to what matters and is important to me’? Ah, that would be wonderful! So, how can that really happen? What could we become more aware of, that could assist us living more this way. This may be another helpful practice towards Heart-Based Living. We’d love to hear how you go with it. 
While finding meaning can have its benefits, creating meaning also comes with some challenges. Nowadays we are exposed to so much through various outlets, that may generate meanings that lead to actions and often non action, both of which may not serve us well.Meaning as we know is derived from our lived experience, and as we all experience life differently, finding common meaning, is less likely. In this podcast Tricia and Nigel, talk about a heart-based living approach, that highlights an alternative approach in moments, when our meaning making is leading us away from our hearts, what we want and what we love. Tricia and Nigel run a regular zoom expression session to engage in the practice of increasing awareness around meaning making and developing the skills of honest expression.  
Having hope can feel difficult when so many challenging things are at the forefront in these times. With heart based living, we see it is important to experience and express your true emotions, hence we see having hope is not trying to feel happy or hopeful when that is not the experience. So how does hope genuinely arrive? We chat about the value of exploring what is genuinely there to be hopeful about. We see there are many wonderful changes emerging, bringing hope for a better future, so keeping an eye on them can be helpful. Feel free to share what you are seeing that is pathing the way for hope in the future. We also look at the power of small steps and actions that bring positive feelings that better create a hopeful environment. This and the power of small steps by many. Where are you in the area of hope and what would you like to share in terms of supporting others with hope in these challenging times? 
Instinct vs rules

Instinct vs rules

2022-07-0710:53

In this podcast we share our view on the nature of rules we have come to live by, and the impact of those rules when we come to experience life and engage in things. We share what to watch out for in yourself to notice when you have moved into a more restricted and limited way of living. We share the importance of developing a trust and sense to guide you for your safety and wellbeing, without having to over constrict with limitations, and miss out on things you love and feel alive doing. What are your thoughts about this? We love you to share your own rules or stories about when your own instinct played a vital role. 
We know there is a lot of value held around learning, and the concept of life long learning held in positive regard. We thought we’d share a discussion around the nature of the learning, and how it is possible that to actually walk away with a learning that may not be beneficial to us, or may limit our growth in some way. It highlights some considerations around learning, which may be helpful as you discover more about heart-based living. What are your thoughts about some of the points brought up during this podcast? We’d love to hear your view.
