Lent and the Journey of Release

Personal Power, , , ,

This week Kelly Robbins takes us on a Lenten Journey of Release. First, we consider what Lent is. From a metaphysical perspective, what is Lent about? Lent is meant to be a period of spiritual growth where we flex our self-discipline muscle. Traditionally this is done by praying, confessing and abstaining or fasting. Abstaining from and letting go of something in our lives. Are we holding on to things that are ready to be released? Why are we holding on to it – what is the story we’ve created behind it?

There is power and healing in letting go of unsupportive stories we’ve been holding on to. Releasing what no longer serves us can change who we are at a deep level. It changes how we know and connect with Spirit and ourselves. Using the energy of Lent as a season for powerful spiritual growth, we take the time now to release physically, energetically and spiritually.

Are We Experiencing A Global Transformation of Consciousness?

Purpose, Change, Grounding, Leadership, Personal Power, Relationships, , , , ,

Episode 93. There is radical tension and discord across the world today. At times it feels unbearable. The magnitude of the turmoil makes me believe there is something bigger going on. What if we are we living through one of Earth’s great transformations? A time that will change the course of humanity forever. In this episode of Fresh Tracks we consider what’s been termed the “Axial Age”. A global shift in the consciousness of humanity. Such a powerful shift in humanity is bringing unprecedented turmoil and unrest on a global scale. Because with all change there is discord.

I share an overview of the world’s great religious leaders and their role in a previous transformation in human consciousness, and then we dive into some of the identifiable characteristics of today’s shift. Ultimately, we each need to know we play a role in today’s transition to a global consciousness. From the Universe in its’ totality, to how we interact with other species on our planet, to how we view and treat each other, we are intertwined and interrelated no matter where we reside.

6:30 – A overview of the world’s great religious founders

Fundamentalism, The Brain, and You

Relationships, Creating YOUR Life, Facing our Fears, Forgiveness, Personal Power, , , ,

In Episode 91 of Fresh Tracks we talk about our brain and how we are designed to react. I found myself yelling at “them” on the television a few weeks ago. Angry. Disturbed at their lack of empathy for others. I experienced a complete disgust of those “other people” as a whole. In this week’s episode of Fresh Tracks, we look at what’s going on behind this anger and the “us versus them” mentality we see across the world today. This leads us to a discussion on brain scans, sacred values, religious fundamentalism and its meaning to us. Is our brain hard-wired to default to this anger and separatism?

I share results of brain research that has been done specifically on religious fundamentalism, sacred values and our willingness to fight and die for what we believe in. Why does this “us versus them” scenario develop in the first place? And what can you, as an individual do to change it? Check out this episode of Fresh Tracks and discover how to physically change your brain to experience empathy, compassion and reason.

Show Notes:

5:00 – Sacred Values and the role they play in decision making
8:30 – Us versus Them on a brain scan
11:00 – Are we all One? The brains natural hard-wiring and the pull and tug of us vs them thinking
13:20 – How do you justify your anger? Becoming aware of your reactions and anger
17:15 – Recognizing when your sacred values are threatened
20:30 – Meditation and how it effects your brain
25:00 – Seeing your inner work when it shows up
27:00 – Willingness to fight and die for sacred vs non sacred values

Let’s Talk About Karen
A Dive Into Women and White Privilege

In episode 86 of Fresh Tracks we talk about Karen.

The world is in great turmoil. A pandemic. Anger. Fear, and uncertainty permeate all corners of the globe. We are faced with a never-ending stream of difficult decisions to make. In this episode of Fresh Tracks we peek into the dynamics behind the Karen meme that has become so popular. Do you have anything in common with a white woman of privilege bullying others? Social media makes fun of the most extreme “Karen episodes”, and yet she manifests in many, less extreme situations. I believe it can be insightful to examine what role that “Karen” dynamic plays in our own lives in this episode of Fresh Tracks.

I share a bit about the history of the Karen meme and what she represents in today’s world. What’s going on underneath the extreme meanness we see? Might it be worthwhile to spend time introspecting if there is some Karen in you? We also delve into the Universal Quality of more life and how to cultivate that quality even in these crazy times of upheaval. Finally, are you building your life from a place of power or forcing your way to getting what you want?  Check out the full podcast episode!

Healing from Betrayal with Debi Silber

Personal Power, Know Yourself, Radical Self Love, Taking Care of Yourself, , ,

In episode 76 of Fresh Tracks I speak with transformational psychologist and author Deb Silber about betrayal. When we are betrayed it hits us at a very deep, core part of ourselves and shatters our trust. When experiencing a betrayal, either in your personal or professional life, it’s imperative to process and heal rather than push down the emotions and forge on. Debi shares with us the five stages of healing from betrayal as well as the value of discovering the lessons that are there to be learned when you are betrayed. Both are instrumental in growing through this experience rather than having it ruin you.

A betrayal hurts so much because it is intentional. We are forced to face the fact that someone close to us put their needs above ours. Initially, survival instincts and strategies take over and we function on autopilot. In this week’s Fresh Tracks we examine why many people get stuck in survival mode rather than heal and move into the growth phases we are designed to experience. Making meaning of the experience allows you to heal, learn the lesson you are charged with learning, and become the stronger and more resilient person you are meant to be.

4:15 – Recognizing post-traumatic betrayal
6:45 – Taking yourself from betrayal to transformation
