Be Kind First

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 39

with Dorothy Ratusny

It’s something that we all need to become better at as we seek to grow our consciousness; to live inspired by what fulfills us and evokes deeper meaning and purpose.

TRUTH SERUM:  When you practice kindness purposefully, you limit the focus on negativity, judgment, and criticism; you open your mind and your heart to what truly matters. For example, it matters far less if you are right or believe to be better than another. What matters is your honour; to be of your word, your light, to continue to do your best, to always seek self-improvement because this is what enables you to rise up; and to do the right thing, even when others may not choose so.

A-HA MOMENTS:  As you look forward; as you reflect upon the importance of what we all have experienced; a global pandemic, and a virus that is not going away; it is here; an inescapable reminder that we all must share the same values of loving-kindness, of honour and respect for ourselves and all living beings; of raising our consciousness and for being clear that it is no longer “okay” to cause damage; to cause suffering whether in our actions unto the environment and the planet, or in unkind and unloving thoughts, words and actions toward our self or any other living being.

PRACTICAL WISDOM:  In being reminded of what is most important in your life... choose kindness first.  In returning to the importance of kind action, are you ready? Are you ready to seek to live this in all places in your life beginning with your mind influenced by the new thoughts that you choose to hold?

Here I share with you a simple cognitive approach that also opens your heart to give and receive kindness and to help you in the moments when it may be difficult to be kind; and where your previous reaction may have been a lack of kindness. Let me show you as we experience this together.

We also discuss the science of why kindness is so important; including its measurable impact on your DNA, your immune system, and the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain. 

Join me for the science and the love of why you need to be kind - first.

The True Measure of Success is ‘Who’ You Are | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E38

The True Measure of Success is Your Character: It Is 'Who' You Are

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2 Episode 38

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

My Introduction to This Episode and to 'Character' in a Rapidly Changing World: 💜 0-3:15  |  Podcast Theme Music  Intro:  3:16  |  What is the Measure of Success That You Live By?  5:16 |  Two Questions To Identify the Course of Your Life, Past and Present:  7:44 |  The Attainment of Goals is Important:  11:01  |  Success by This Inclusive Definition:  12:32  |  In This New and Enlightened Approach to Success:  13:08  |  To Feel Positive About Who You Are:  17:06  |  Something That You Need In Your Toolbox:  21:36  |  A Simple Practice to Anchor This New Way of Thinking About Success:  22:54  |  The Absolute Ways That Success Makes You Even Better:  24:49  |  Podcast Theme Music & Outro:  31:55  |

TRUTH SERUM:  “Is it time to re-calibrate how you measure success?” Is your definition of success missing the most important and valuable element? 

What if I suggested that to focus on this distinct and intrinsic measure of your success would make a great difference in how you looked at all of your present and future achievements and what would now be the driving and altruistic force behind what you seek to accomplish and why?

A-HA MOMENTS:  Consider that the most valuable measure of success is your character, it is who YOU are; your positive beliefs (of which you stand for and live by), how you treat others, your ethics, your ability to be loving-kindness, and what you model and teach your children. 

The true measure of your success is your character; it is who you are in all moments. It is these upstanding qualities, traits, and behaviours that impact how you feel about yourself. The beauty of this definition is that you have autonomy and the ability to recognize the moments in which you are not living this, and then to adjust accordingly; to return to this auspicious definition of true success.

PRACTICAL WISDOM:  You can continue to strive for all of the typical and learned examples of what makes you successful; but in the end, if you do not like who you are, if you are not a kind and honest being with yourself and all others, how will you feel your inherent joy, your inner peace, your true confidence.  How will you experience innate fulfillment, together with satisfaction, meaning, and purpose?

Join me as I share an evolved definition of success and the questions that you need to ask yourself before you set new goals, and as you “level up” to what matters most to you; and of what makes you a great success by the right measures.

This episode is one that you may wish to make some notes of as we go along; and as you formulate what will be your new definition and the model of success that you are excited to live.

'NEW YEAR, NEW WORLD, NEW GOODNESS'

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2 Episode 37

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

My Introduction to This Episode: 💜 0-1:03  |  Podcast Theme Music  Intro:  1:04  |  A Message of Empowerment:  2:59 |  In the Decisions That You Make Each Day...  3:38 |  Living as Your Authentic Goodness is...  4:29  |  As You Pursue A Path That Is Meaningful:  7:01  |  As a Spiritual and Practical Teaching:  7:56  |  You Have the Power to Help Another:  9:39  |  Your Challenge for This Week:  10:23  |  A Practical Strategy to Help You Witness The Effects of Your Goodness:  13:32  |  Podcast Theme Music & Outro:  16:03  |

TRUTH SERUM:  As we boldly step into this brand new year, many of us carry the hope and our deepest commitment to make our life incredibly meaningful.  You want to thrive in ways that you have never before; and so here, to open the space for all that you are willing to co-create, I encourage you to begin with all that you already are.

A-HA MOMENTS:  Use your innate goodness to wield more; to rediscover your personal power; your dignity, your honour to yourself, to uphold the values that will allow you to live of your inherent goodness; and to teach others as you lead by example, and as you walk the planet knowing that you are far more incredible and amazing then you have ever known.

PRACTICAL WISDOM:  This time, this year, your life begins with the wisdom of your heart - for all good.  In this week’s episode, I share a message of empowerment; of how you may use all of what you already are, for good.

Living your authentic goodness is about living with honour of what you know to be sacred and true for yourself. It’s about making your life a succession of clear and right decisions that are aligned with truth; truth in what you know to be best and right for you; and to consider that for whatever religious and spiritual beliefs you hold, there is only one right path. You know right from wrong. This is arguably inherent to your innate capacity to live a life of freedom, of happiness and abundance.

All of the most important and desired experiences are derived from living congruent with your innate goodness; innate because this is what we are at our core.  We only have to realize this and return to a life of distinct choices and actions based on our ability to be and live of this goodness.

‘YES’ is Your NEW MANTRA for the Upcoming Year! | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E36

'YES' is Your NEW MANTRA for the Upcoming Year!

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2 Episode 36

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

My Introduction to This Episode: 💜 0-:32  |  Podcast Theme Music  Intro:  0:33  |  Diving Into "YES!"  2:30 |  Podcast Theme Music & Outro:  25:09  |

In this Episode, we boldly step into the New Year with a Mantra and a plan of action, in which you embrace all that is possible; and all that is already on its way to you.  Find a comfortable place as you settle in; as you hold gratitude and as you embrace a NEW MANTRA; a new perspective; and a new vision for the upcoming year in your life.

TRUTH SERUM:  For wherever you are as you join me, let this new practice of setting mantras, ground you in the witnessing of your life right here, and right now. Perhaps you will close your eyes and allow yourself to take in the presence of this. Take a deep breath bringing it all of the way into your lungs. Anchor these feelings of presence in your body.

What are you most grateful for in this moment?  One thing... one thing...

A-HA MOMENTS:  Say it aloud; let your ears hear your words. “Feel what your gratitude gives you.”

Feel the abundance of this feeling throughout your being. Notice the feelings that arise with your gratitude.  Now to express your gratitude aloud with the words ‘Thank you’. Say this out loud, ‘thank you’ ‘thank you’ thank you’. Say ‘thank you’ for what you have just spoken. 

Where within your body, do you feel your gratitude? Know that you are co-creating more of the same whenever you hold gratitude of something.

PRACTICAL WISDOM:  Sometimes my gratitude spoken aloud is for that for which is all-encompassing. (For example, to be thankful for my life as a whole).  At other times, my gratitude is more specific.  

"Thank you for the sunshine, the fresh beautiful air that I may breathe; for what I love to do and for what brings me much joy each day." Sometimes your reflections of gratitude can be very precise. For example, "Thank you for this wonderful freshly roasted cup of coffee." or "Thank you for the wonderful day I had making cookies with my sister."

With yourself, grounded, centered, and present; I offer some words of wisdom to guide you in the upcoming year; to say ‘YES’ to more in your life; to more of what you want; to more inspiration and love, to more happiness; to laughter, to presence, and spontaneity.

Say ‘YES’ to feeling so much joy and awe that tears run down your face.  Say ‘YES’ to your health and to what healthy eating feels like as fuel for your body.  Say ‘YES’ to finding the good in others, in speaking of others in ways that leave you feeling uplifted.  Say ‘YES’ to self-love, and to the personal growth that you have been waiting to do.  Now is the time.

The SIX Secrets to Manifest Your MIRACLES

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 35

with Dorothy Ratusny

This week’s episode is all about the making of miracles; for whatever you want most deeply; for whatever is in your heart.  Let me show you how to bring your miracles into the light of day; to do this with all of your 'big ticket items', dreams, and life goals, as well as to manifest what I call “daily miracles”; and the six secrets (and steps) for how to do this. 🌟

After listening here, I invite you to check out my video on the mastery of manifesting; and in particular my experience with manifesting something that literally took years to show up in the physical world; how I had no idea of how I was going to make this happen; and yet how I continued to hold with clarity and of my heart, what I wanted, and how it manifested beautifully in its right timing, and in such a perfect way that I could never have imagined. This miracle manifesting was the result of my applying all of these six secrets; including unwavering belief. I will leave a link for this video here for you. https://youtu.be/J6uwT3w5ghQ

A TIME OF ACCEPTANCE | The WISDOM podcast | Season 2 Episode 34

A Time of Acceptance

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 34

with Dorothy Ratusny

“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to acknowledge what you must accept and to do your best to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” - dorothy ratusny

How do you practice acceptance in your relationships?

Here I share an important best practice that allows you to have healthy relationships without needing to change or fix another person; rather the impetus is on you giving to yourself what you have been looking for in another. This means that you no longer need to hold expectations of another that they cannot meet.

Acceptance is the understanding; the ability and need to allow another to be as they are; to soften into this and to meet them right where they are choosing to be. This doesn’t mean that you must have a relationship with this person or any other; rather it means that you no longer give so much of yourself in vain.

Acceptance is liberation. It frees you. You free yourself from the need to change another or a situation when your kind efforts have been in vain. Not everyone is ready. Not everyone is willing. Not everyone is able to be relieved from the thoughts that hold them back.

The WISDOM of LIFE + A Prose Meditative Experience | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E33 | with dorothy ratusny

The WISDOM of LIFE

+ a Prose Meditative Experience

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 33

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Branded Intro:  0-2:10  |  Intro to This Episode Experience:  2:11 |  A Meditative Prose:  3:46  |  Episode Offerings and Your Home Practice:  30:42  |  Podcast Outro:  35:41

In this week’s episode, I am sharing something a little different.

Here I have scripted a meditative prose (a prose meditation is helpful to induce creative thinking, inspiration, and self-awareness.) meant to illuminate guidance and to be a spiritual metaphor for this time in your life. I invite you to listen; to take in these words, your eyes may be open or closed, your heart open to receive what insight and love you feel. This is an experiential episode.

You only need to let it touch your heart and your mind in ways that will allow you to open more to all of the perfection of life unfolding all around you. 💜

Life shows you replete examples that you can trust in its perfect nature to provide and sustain all things. For as long as you are here, be in its faithful promise. Your heart, when aligned with what inspires you; is this ever-present miracle that is what you are; and as you witness all of life around you, this becomes the inspiration of your heart.

Nature will always gift you with perfect wisdom; it will help remind you of the nature of life as it exists within you also. This is its solemn wisdom.

Allow yourself to witness all that you need to know through your senses; all that nourishes you daily to act upon; to love, to deeper mystery, to hope and the contemplation of more.

Feel comforted here in the perfect nature of your heart and your longing to witness all of eternity; here in the space, in the light of what you are; in the glorious ways that you love; and in the sacred moments of life that you are willing to appreciate; and all of the bounty and love that you live now.

---

Let the wisdom of life guide you into the depths of your inner being; to awaken your presence, your light; to marvel at the path you are living by choice; to align yourself with your highest intentions in truth and of your desired goals first seen inside you mind; then witnessed in the gentle outpouring of life that manifests.

If You Don’t Like Being Alone, This Is What You Have Been Missing: THREE SECRETS TO NEVER FEEL LONELY | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E32

If You Don't Like To Be Alone, This Is What You've Been Missing... Three Secrets to Never Feel Lonely

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 32

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Branded Intro:  0-1:33  |  If You Are Someone Who Has Been Suffering With Loneliness:  2:22 |  The FIRST SECRET to Never Feel Lonely:  3:21  |  The SECOND SECRET to Never Feeling Lonely:  11:57  |  This Time of a Global Pandemic Has Taught Us...  13:45  |  Living is Anticipation; It is Enjoyment:  17:22  |  Examples of What Nourishes and Supports You:  18:35  |  The THIRD SECRET to Never Feel Lonely:  19:35  |  Helpful Resources:  23:30  |  Podcast Outro:  25:54

Here I offer valuable strategies, and recommendations to implement for each of these three best practices; so that you will have the secrets to never feel lonely again; because the goal is to always enjoy the experience and the company of being alone (with yourself).

Throughout this time of a global pandemic, there have been many illuminating ‘aha’ revelations that you, that I, that we all have come to witness.

One resounding and common ‘voice’ that I have heard echoed by so many is the feeling of loneliness that has been exacerbated by the critical state of lock down; now something that we are again experiencing at the time of writing this, and throughout many parts of the world; coupled with the accumulative months of continued social distancing and self-isolating. But does loneliness have to be our existence?

If you are someone who has been suffered with loneliness; if you do not like being alone with yourself, I invite you to think about the reasons why.  Do you feel loneliness even as you live with others?  Have you considered what the psychological and emotional impact is of prolonged loneliness and isolation, and what you can do to eradicate this?  Even if you live alone, you don’t have to feel disconnected and lonely.

Please join me for this heartfelt and warming reminder of how you don't need to feel lonely and alone. 💜

THE ILLUMINATION OF ALL THINGS | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E31

The Illumination of All Things

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 31

with Dorothy Ratusny

 TIMESTAMPS:

Introduction to Podcast:  0-1:33  |  Preface to the Episode:  1:34 |  Episode 31 -  The Illumination of all Things:  3:57 |  Podcast Outro:  12:40

"Illumination is the light of the world.  It is energy alive in all living beings.  It is up to us to illuminate the path of true freedom; our hearts open in witnessing the perfection of life." - dorothy ratusny

This episode is particularly special for what it offers of hope, and of the messages in which to renew your life; to awaken to your intuitive voice and to live free.  Freedom is not bound by physical movement or a lack thereof, but how you think and feel; how you see everything both with eyes and in sensing using your heart.

This episode is also important to us at this time in our lives when we must not forget what we are capable of as an individual and as a collective.  You must illuminate your path in order to walk with confidence towards what is most wanted.  You may not have all of the pieces known to you and yet, what matters most is your willingness to live in the freedom of your choice and to decide everything.

Let this prose inspire your choices made with your heart wide open.  Let yourself use these words to inspire conscious thought, inner contemplation and to live of your goodness.  This is how you live in light and enlightened.  "You are this light.  Be willing to live of it deliberately."

CONFIDENT DECISION MAKING USING YOUR HEART INTELLIGENCE | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E30

CONFIDENT DECISION MAKING USING YOUR HEART INTELLIGENCE

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 30

with Dorothy Ratusny

 TIMESTAMPS:

Introduction to Podcast:  0-1:32  |  In This Episode...  1:36 |  What I Teach  2:10  |  When You Use Your Heart Intelligence:  5:50  |  In The New Field of Neurocardiology:  6:29  |  In a Session of Therapy or Coaching:  9:11  |  Let Me Demonstrate:  10:25  |  A Real Life Client Story:  20:30  |  Your Heart 'Inspired' Communication:  24:07  |  Your Home Practice:  25:21  |  Podcast Outro:  26:38

“We need to shed the limitations we hold, driven by our human condition and instead live purely of our heart.”  - dorothy ratusny

In this episode, I share how to know what is true and right for you; and how to get clarity of what is wanted and important using the wisdom of your heart, so that you can accelerate the speed by which you manifest.

While I teach the principles of CBT which is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other forms of therapy (such as ACT and DBT), I also use another highly effective means to help my clients connect inward; to listen to and experience communication with their inner being; what I may call their highest self; and to use this inner wisdom as a guiding source of inspiration and light for what they seek. This is a form of enlightenment; the ability to know and be able to access your innate potential as your nonphysical nature and without the barriers of limiting thoughts or beliefs.  Read more about therapy here: https://www.dorothyratusny.com/the-truth-about-therapy-top-myths-ending-the-mental-health-stigma/

We hear the word enlightenment and may think of it as associated with a religious or spiritual person living in a monastery or remotely atop a mountain; largely in solitude; perhaps devoted to silence, meditation and prayer; but true enlightenment is the ability to live in your light; in your truth and in the power of this to live awake and aware. This is also what I teach.

This means that you can have an ‘aha moment’ in a session with me – an awakening – a stepping out of the ‘matrix’ and into truth; realization, and the acknowledgement of something that you have or have not been doing; and that this expression; this often literal ‘aha’ that opens you to witnessing what is true; your truth – this is a moment of enlightenment.

It’s akin to flipping the light switch in a room that is pitch black; to now be able to see everything clearly. And, once you see and know what is, there is no turning back or pretending that you do not know; the change has been made; you have this enlightened perspective to use for your highest good.

This form of enlightenment is experienced as seeing everything with conscious awareness; your mind and heart open. You as the observer, are able to witness your thoughts and actions from the vantage point of awareness, insight, and discovery.

Accessing this heart centered inner wisdom may be experienced quite easily; it may take some practice to feel your confidence grow in what you are reading and witness to, however the experience of following your intuition or your heart is something that we have all done; often without naming it as so.

What follows next is the experience of your heart intelligence as I guide you in this technique; much like as if you were in a session together with me.  I also share one real life client story of how utilizing your heart intelligence is life altering.

"Becoming more is the expansion of your consciousness.” It is meant to be confidence building; akin to seeking out a new experience that you are excited for.  'Becoming more' is the path of freedom, life fulfillment and perpetual happiness.” It is your ever-present gift and eternal choice to always seek and become ‘more’.

How do you become more?

What does this mean in a tangible way?

Do you think about ‘being more’ as applicable to your life?

and

Is there a ‘more’ that you wish to be?

I believe we’ve all had this experience; of seeking to become better in some aspect of our life, or as who we are. What guides this desire and what perpetuates the motivation and discipline to see yourself through? And of course, what drives your need to be more?

In ‘more’, I don’t mean more as in as to be in competition with in outdoing another, but ‘more’ as the conscious desire of your heart; to be and live as the very best version of yourself, and in every moment?

In my work with clients, it is always a joy to take them beyond what they initially sought my help with. This is of course, completely their choice. But what typically happens after we resolve and complete what initial issue or problem that they sought help for, is the fun of self-empowerment, liberation from what thoughts and beliefs have held back, and the experience of attaining what is truly important.

‘More’ is about not accepting mediocrity. It's not about comparing yourself to others, but rather being inspired by others so that you can set out to be more for yourself.

It’s about challenging yourself to be all that you really want and to no longer make excuses that you “can’t”; that it’s “too difficult”; and that how you are “is good enough”. I am not talking about pushing yourself towards an unhealthy or impractical ideal, or to strive towards what you think you need to have because others have this. More is anything that you define to be important enough for you and for your greater happiness and that you are willing to go after.

More is a deliberate path of self-evolution that we are all encouraged to live by nature; that allows us to thrive in the world; to seek new experiences, opportunities and yes also material things. Yet the primary reason to pursue more is to like and love yourself first.

Namaste!  💜

A TIME OF REVOLUTION | The WISDOM podcast | S2 BONUS Episode | with Dorothy Ratusny

A Time of Revolution

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Bonus Episode

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Introduction to Podcast:  0-2:11  |  An Introduction to What You Are About to Hear:  2:14 |  The Episode:  5:13  |  Your Directives to Begin Now:  11:15  |  Podcast Outro:  11:54

In this BONUS episode of The WISDOM podcast, I am sharing what I wrote earlier this summer.

As with all of my free flowing conscious streams of inspiration; this one was written after my own meditation practice and time in nature.  However at the time, I put this writing aside.

Even the name 'A Time of Revolution' did not feel as though it was yet ready to be 'birthed' into the world - until now.

This time in all of our lives, is one in which we are being called to mobilize ourselves to positive action.  This revolution is one of peaceful action, joy, the discovery of human connection when we all help one another, and as we have faith in this plan for a better life.

TRUTH SERUM:  This revolution is one of kindness; of certainty to our sacred calling as what we choose to do in our lives; to share our talents, to be unwavering in our cause; to be determined in our choices, to live in freedom, and to make the best choices that will honour our human spirit and will set in motion what we are grateful of.  This life and what we are being shown is wonderful.  When we can get past what feels uncomfortable, we can remind our self of the inherent beauty in what we may appreciate, and in what we choose. 

A-HA MOMENTS:  The revelation is first within.  It begins as an 'aha moment' - an awakening  - a settling into what our needs yearn for.  The revelation is to listen to our heart overflowing in joy, in anticipation, in excitement, in the promise of all things and in the peace that finds us whole and of our inner right.

PRACTICAL WISDOM:  There is no more war when we all live in peace; when we learn how to work together, to collaborate, to make concessions, to compromise, to be kind and respectful, to find the best possible solution as leaders of a city, a country; and as we come together in anticipation of our wonder and light.  You have this knowledge; this ability deep within you; this eternal wisdom that rises up to honour what you have chosen; what you receive, what you offer, and what you choose to love.

The wonder of love; your wonder - your light resides within you.  It is also a choice, a sacred and conscious choice that you make each day to live of this light; to shine brightly of this, or to live shrouded in darkness; darkness that has no power except over you - keeping your light well hidden, holding you back from your greatness.

This light is what gives you hope; it is what builds for you the greatest source of comfort, knowing how you may access your eternal power; your truth, your privilege to live of this light.  This is the revolution that we all might witness now; that we must rise up to; that we must hold deliberate if we are to live a love-filled life in the oneness of what we truly are.

Ask yourself this question: Am I ready to live what I have wanted?  Ask.  Let your truth rise up to give you this answer.  Let this truth be the revolution of your heart yearning for more; for greatness, for pleasure in the light of day.  The light that you hold waiting to be released, to be transformed into the most deliberate and beautiful form... of your heart.

This revolution and the revolution of love that we all must live is what opens our heart; nourishes our need to be of service and to nourish our self.  This revelation is what will sustain our future as we choose to walk the planet in unity and peace, in forgiveness and in raising global consciousness to act of our perfect nature to live in harmony, to rise up to what we have been called to do; to be love in action.

This is our biggest and most affirming quest.  This is the revolution of our heart - your heart - open to love and to be of love to yourself and to all others and to be this now.

Namaste!  💜

Spiritual Abundance | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E28

Spiritual Abundance

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 28

with Dorothy Ratusny

TIMESTAMPS:

Podcast Theme Intro:  0-2:10  |  Our Current Times and Life Will hold:  2:11 |  If You Have Been on a Sacred Path to Manifest Abundance:  3:52  |  The Episode:  5:22  |  A Little More Love + Let Me Help:  13:51 |  Podcast Theme Outro:  14:58

In this episode we dive into what makes it possible for you to have spiritual abundance. What does this mean and what does spiritual abundance look like? Why is it important at this time and as you are listening – more than ever before?   Namaste!  💜

TRUTH SERUM:  I wrote this episode as a spiritual teaching. It is true to form regardless of what spiritual and religious beliefs you hold.  It is to help you find your right path and to live in abundance.

A-HA MOMENTS:  All of us are now navigating a very different life. What welcomes you to what you have always wanted is your consistent desire of it; and of the clarity that helps invite you towards what you seek and what begins a path into self-acknowledgement; that is, you begin to witness the other possibilities for your life that were not before considered.

PRACTICAL WISDOM:  How do you hold presence for your life? What makes your life this incredible outpouring that renders what you witness as remarkable?  All of us are beautifully connected even if we do not always see it as so. Our lives and the interactions that bring new experiences, guidance, help and wisdom are also the most perfect examples of how you treat one another and how you live yourself.

“You ARE Forgiven” | The WISDOM podcast | S2 E27 with Dorothy Ratusny

"You Are Forgiven"

The WISDOM podcast  Season 2  Episode 27

with Dorothy Ratusny

These are the words spoken to offer you a clean slate; to remind you that for anything that you have ever said or done, for whatever has happened, for anything that you continue to blame yourself for – that you are forgiven.

What if this were possible?

Would it change how you feel about yourself?

Would you be able to let go of; to shed some or perhaps all of what has caused you to feel guilty, alone, sad, sorrowful; remorse or regret?

Can complete forgiveness directed towards yourself for every unkind or hurtful word or action, for every envious, angry, critical thought that you’ve held; be a positive step – or even the solution to break free of what holds you back?

I recently tried this experience for myself as an experiment to witness what rises up immediately to the notion that I am forgiven; that complete forgiveness is possible. It is entirely feasible and in fact it is a long awaited secret to healing yourself and feeling whole.

This is what we all intrinsically seek. We all want to feel whole and this is why we go in search of it; whether consciously or subconsciously.

Join me in this Episode for a certain and radical way to free yourself; and to experience self-love and wholeness.

💜 Namaste! xo
