Living Soul to Soul

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on May.02, 2011, under Home

What do you see when you look at others? Do you see their greatness or their limitations?And what do you see of yourself in others….your greatness or your limitations?

It is not normal in our societal norm to practice the art of living soul to soul; of considering the greatness of others; of seeing our greatness in the eyes of other individuals. Rather, the current societal norm is one of negating the greatness of others; of focusing on their limitations or ‘errors’ in life and therefore only seeing the limitations and ‘errors’ in our on lives.

If you are ready to begin to accept your own greatness and to live in the conscious knowing of all that you are and all that you came to be, this is the show for you.

If you are willing to consider shifting some of your more limiting beliefs, this is the show for you to listen and consider the possibilities shared during this hour of possibilities.

If you are prepared to begin living consciously in your daily life, this is the show for you! For in this show, The Angelic Realm, Barbara’s guest Anne Burnside, and Barbara will address their perspectives on living Soul to Soul and the benefits that follows this amazing ‘shift’ in living and perceiving others and life.

Barbara’ guest, Anne Burnside, is an educator, parent, author, and soul nurturer specializing in conscious relationships and spiritual development parent. Her recently released book Soul to Soul Parenting: A Guide to Raising a Spiritually Conscious Family is a guidebook for parents using modern, everyday reality and universal, life-affirming themes to expand spiritual awareness in the home.

Join us for this amazing show as The Angelic Realm, Anne Burnside and Barbara Joye share their insights, observations, and possible steps that you might take to begin living in alignment with your soul and engaging all others in a ‘Soul to Soul’ relationship.

At the Creating Café, Barbara Joye, The Shift Guru, discusses societal perceptions that you may want to consider shifting. If you have ever wondered why your life is as it is; if you have ever desired anything different in your life and wondered how to create such a difference; if you are simply an individual with an open mind and a questioning nature, you will want to begin this series and follow the shifts that occur in your life as you begin to consciously create your own life.

An Easter Basket of Happiness

Easter is one of those holidays that really FILLS a person completely. There is always plenty of food, almost like Thanksgiving part one, and there is family around too.
Family days like these are so filling, more than a cherry pie and a chocolate bunny. Why do we get so full and yet so calm and content by day’s end?
For Easter, many of us begin a day with God and then it dominoes into all our other family and friend relationships. That is two major primary foods that feed us and nourish us more than our secondary food we consume.
Spirituality and relationships take up more than 75% of the day. On top of that, we still manage to consume copious amounts of lunch or dinner (which almost feels like a Thanksgiving dinner).
Are we tired and full yet?
After eating our meals, the topper of the day would be to go for a family walk. This would fulfill the other primary food of activity!! By walking or even bicycle riding, this makes moving the body fun and it makes the eating worthwhile too.
After a family and spiritually-oriented day, we feel quite satiated and happy. These are the days that allow our bodies to fall asleep with minimal effort.
Imagine if we allowed our every day to encompass family and activity and spirituality/God…then we would have a fulfilling day of events which would allow us to have proper night’s sleep. Who needs sleep aids when we have our primary foods?

The Serenity Prayer And Me

A Full Service Detox

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Bill

Religion is extremely important to the great majority of people on this planet. It gives them reasonably coherent systems of ethics and moral guidance, community, support in hard times, and hope for a better life. In many cases, it gives their lives structure and meaning.

I am not a religious person myself, instead thinking of myself as spiritual. I don’t believe the two concepts are by any means one and the same. That’s a discussion beyond where I want to go here, but it’s a necessary observation in order for the following to make sense.

Many of us in recovery — especially early recovery — have difficulty with what we see as the “religious” aspects of the 12 Step fellowships. Again, without getting into a discussion about religion versus spirituality, it has been my experience that those who are able to put such prejudices behind them, take from “the program” what fits for them, and allow others the same privilege, are the ones who are most likely to succeed. Personal problems with concepts of gods and higher powers notwithstanding, it is quite possible to be a part of the 12 Step experience and not delve into religion at all.

Spirituality, however, is an absolute must, and certain concepts that have come to be expressed in terms of prayers and similar ideas are also critical to success. Again, we need to read between the lines of those things and take from them the underlying thoughts and wisdom. Sometimes we even need to show a bit of humility and go along with customs such as prayers at the beginning and end of meetings, understanding that those things are important for many people, and that participating does us no real harm at all.

One prayer that we need to take absolutely to heart is the Serenity Prayer:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.

The ideas embodied in this simple verse are essential to recovery. The Serenity Prayer reminds us to be humble, and helps us organize the things on which we need to be working in order to get and stay sober. If we spend some time thinking about it, in fact, we may discover that it embodies an entire philosophy of life. It reminds us

• That we are not in charge of anyone or anything but ourselves;
• That we cannot in fact change anything but ourselves and the way we look at and live our lives;
• And that if we don’t figure this out and apply the knowledge, we’ll be back in the same controlling frenzy that we just came out of — for what is a life of addiction if not one of trying to control our lives and feelings with chemicals?

Control issues, in fact, are major relapse triggers — and wonderful excuses: ”If she’d just do what I want, everything would be fine!” We forget, sometimes, that “she” is a human being with her own rights and needs, that there are two sides to every situation, and that it is the responsibility of an adult to be able to arrive at solutions that are fair to everyone concerned. You can probably think of similar examples. Maybe you’ve even used a few of them.

The “wisdom to know the difference” has been a major key to my recovery. Other people have their own wants and needs, and they will do what they believe they need to do — just as I do. The only thing I can change is me. When I figured that out, and begin living my life that way, I was soon able to relax and stop running the world. It was so exhausting!

So I say my own version of the Serenity Prayer several times a day, and have been doing so for a long time — actually longer than I spent in my active addictions. I say “May I learn” to accept the things I cannot change…. I don’t put the weight on god’s shoulders. It isn’t god’s job, it’s mine. I try to live my life remembering just how much power I don’t have. I change the things I can, and try to understand the difference. I don’t let personal ideas about religion get in the way of my recovery. My opinions don’t mean a thing if I die, so why take them so seriously when I’m trying to stay alive?

Try something: sit quietly for five minutes and really think about the meaning of that simple little set of verses. Five minutes. It could change your life as it did mine.
