YOUR MANIFESTING 'MOJO'
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 72
~ Live your life as if everything is here already and right before you. ~
💜
The episode is all about love...
It’s about what you need to experience with your heart ~ what is most wanted and what is already in store for you.
Any desire of the mind must activate your heart centre. If you truly want to hone the magic of manifesting ~ as mysterious as it is spiritual ~ you need to hold the grace of what is wanted in your heart.
Let it be here from your heart wisdom that you generate the ideas and inspiration that will easily celebrate all that you hold the potential to be and live.
This is an experiential episode of 'ask dorothy' in which I pose the question to you. Your answers become the inspired vision for what you will seek and live most deliberately.
The questions I ask in this episode:
You may wish to place one or both hands onto your heart centre as you connect inward ~ to your true source of power and wisdom.
What is next?
What is most important to me, for me?
What is my heart’s true desires?
What is my heart’s ultimate desires?
What is the next step of my journey?
What else?? 😁
I encourage you to write these questions 📝 and to ask these of yourself again ~ especially if you intend to continue to manifest all that you desire... as an ever-evolving outpouring of your heart's desires. 💜

DHARANA ~ Focus The Mind With The Heart
The Sixth Limb of The Yoga Sutras
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 69
~ “Focus your mind where your heart lives far more of the time.” ~
💜
Dharana, a Sanskrit word meaning concentration is the sixth limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system—also called the eight-limbed path. The goal of dharana is to bind your consciousness to one particular object, activity, place, or idea.
As we explore further the sixth limb of the yoga sutras – and how specifically to apply the teachings of dharana, in this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I would like to offer something quite extraordinary ~ to practice dharana engaging your heart wisdom.
What if you practiced the one-pointed focus of dharana of complete and deliberate concentration as you align both your heart and mind toward any of your heart’s desires ~ and to all things ~ that are most wanted?
We do this quite naturally as a function of our heart’s outpouring of desire.
If there is something important that you want that you want, you hold focus and place your attention on your desire and you also engage the physical steps needed to attain this.
Now what if you cultivated the magic and the discipline of one-pointed focus, allowing the heart’s wisdom to guide and influence what you want to manifest.
Let your mind engage with your heart’s true desire. This is how to focus the mind on only what is wanted.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

PRATYAHARA ~ Freedom of the Senses ~
The Fifth Limb of The Yoga Sutras
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 66
~ Hold awareness in the absence of thought ~
💜
To be in the presence of each moment is to be wilfully attentive. To act upon your life with discerning choice is to hold wisdom and the skill of pratyahara. To be free is to hold freedom from the senses.
In the fifth stage (limb) of the yoga sutras ~ pratyahara, the seeker of a spiritual practice or way of life (sādhaka) goes through a search of self-examination. Pratyahara is truly the ability to act upon life with discerning choice.
In some ancient texts, the thinking on pratyahara is to overcome the spell of sensual objects ~ to choose good over pleasure. Yet it is even more than this.
If you allow yourself to be bound by objects of a material nature ~ of thoughts and beliefs that govern, that constrain, that evoke states of sadness, disillusionment and suffering, you are allowing your senses to rule and to overtake the wisdom that you have access to ~ thatmay guide your heart in blissful action.
The wisdom and clear knowing of your heart that is always in communication with you ~ is often a quieter and peace-filled voice.
Pratyahara ~ as a practice becomes a pivotal answer to lead us. Pratyahara is a sanskrit word that is translated as: taking away the engagement of our senses with the outside world.
Simply, it is the skill we hold for redirecting the focus of the mind within and to our genuine needs which can be fulfilled ease fully.
How does one do this? How do we quiet the mind?
How do we recognize better when we have become fixated on the external world ~ looking for gratification, validation and something that you go in search of that is beyond you ~ rather than of you.
How do we become better at living out of the pureness of the present moment? Can we live in a state of pure awareness far more of the time?
These are the additional questions that I pose for us here in this episode of ‘ask dorothy’. I hope will inspire you as you listen on.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Waiting to Exhale ~ PRANAYAMA
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 64
~ Pranayama breathing guides us into the ease of pure existence. ~
💜
Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? Perhaps in anticipation, in anxiety, in the realization that something is not going as you had hoped?
Maybe your hold your breath when you think about what magic lives in store for you and your future - like when you daydream and wish and manifest your heartfelt desires?
Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words. Prana means a subtle life-force / ‘vital energy’ / ‘breath of life’ which gives energy to the mind and body (it is also translated as the substance of the astral world) and ayama which signifies the voluntary effort to expand, lengthen and direct life-force or prana.
Pranayama, therefore, means “extension of life force.”
Waiting to exhale is the other side of waiting to enjoy life’s precious moments because you are focused in the end goal rather than the entire journey and what more you seek and learn from the total sum of your experiences.
The lessons are the magic. They are the ways in which life avails to us the importance of our path ~ of the miracles that continue ceaselessly all around us and in all moments and with our conviction.
What are you waiting for?
What are you wishing to change or have or be that seems far reaching and yet perfect for you to discover and experience now? The perfect basis of your beautiful nature lives inside of you. To seek and know it is the essence of life in its truest form.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Dangers of Self-Sacrifice | Q and A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 32
~ Here I answer the questions:
'What is Self-Sacrifice?' and 'How do I know if I am doing this?' ~
💜
The definition of self-sacrifice is not holding belief in yourself; in allowing others to direct your life, in needing false approval and permission from others rather than following through on your own ideals and what matters most to you ~ and of standing tall and in the full authority of knowing that you are more than good enough, accomplished, and successful as you are.
At anytime if you make decisions that impede your life, if there is damage that you cause to yourself because of action or inaction that is unkind, unrelenting, self-critical and self-effacing you are creating damage and suffering.
Self-sacrifice carries many forms. It is complex and at times complicated because there can be a fine line between doing for others out of love and loving them completely and action that is driven by fear and impressed upon by ego ~ fear of losing someone’s love, fear of judgment by another, fear of negative consequences, fear of recrimination, the ego’s need for power, praise, authority, and self-righteousness.
Anytime that you act out of fear or ego rather than pure love, you risk sacrificing yourself ~ your happiness, your needs and your highest level ideals because your intentions and actions are misaligned ~ they are not pure nor authentic nor honourable.
It is dishonouring yourself and your morals and values in a way that causes you to feel diminished and less than whether in return for something that feeds your ego or offers a false sense of respect, power, comfort, and privilege.
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.
If you have been struggling with a lack of self-respect, if you continue to self-sabotage thinking it is the answer to feeling loved or cared for, please let me help you live your truth.
Self-sacrifice is not a solution. Self-sacrifice is a lack of self-respect.
Let me help you rebuild the honour and dignity that you deserve. Sending you great love. namaste! 🙏
For this episode, I have curated a formula to release you from self-sabotage and self-sacrifice. Find the PDF here: The Formula for Freedom from Self-Sacrifice
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Seat of Meditation ~ ASANA
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 62
~ a state of calm and peace from within ~
💜
The hardest thing for most of us is to be still. To hold a posture of stillness long enough that we feel its effects. The mind is a powerful tool that seems to have a life of its own.
We have, competing for our attention, all of the stimuli we consume. Think about all of the social media content ~ the background noise of our constant devotion to our devices, to TV, music, radio that exists as 'white noise’ and certainly of the bombardment of messages that we give and receive that make it difficult to hear the inner wisdom that lives deep within us.
In a recent episode, we explored together the third limb of the yoga sutras – asana. It is a word that you may be familiar with in yoga as the physical poses that comprise the class experience.
The Sanskrit word ‘asana’ is derived from the root word aasa which means to sit ~ specifically the seat you take for meditation.
Originally, there was only one asana–a stable and comfortable pose for prolonged seated meditation.
Asana is more deeply recognized as a state of being between mind and body that can be cultivated as an experience ~ as a preferential choice ~ as mastery in mind and body.
The seat of meditation is a metaphor for sitting in the practice of ~ for being of the present moment. Bring this into everything that you do ~ your posture, your position, your mindset, your courage, your feelings, and all of the moments of your life.
Feel, experience, witness the promise of the present moment. Lean in.
Let the magic you witness here be the metaphor. Find this truth in all that you do and in all that you are.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Your Epic Summer Bucket List!
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 60
~ Your epic summer awaits... ~
💜
This episode is dedicated to my client Kenzie and every teenager who is excitedly planning and dreaming about what will be their epic summer!
I’s time for both the thrill and the ease of summer. We’ve earned it.
This is your summer to soar – to move in the world with love, and to embrace the idea of limitless possibility.
In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I share with you the first annual summer epic bucket list that happens to be the brainchild of my client Kenzie who graciously said ‘Yes!’ to allowing me to use her first name and to share much of her list ~ to which I couldn’t help but think that at 15, not only is she wise beyond her years for the items that she has chosen on her list, but also most of these items are what you and I would benefit from and enjoy as well.
Kenzie asked me spontaneously during one of our recent sessions if she could share some of her summer bucket list. We then set out to add a few more items and what I loved was her impromptu explaining of why these were important to her.
Perhaps you too will contemplate why the items on your summer bucket list are meaningful to you. When we name the reasons for why something is important to us, it becomes even more special and we are more likely to seek that out.
As I share some of Kenzie’s list here, let it inspire you to create your own epic summer bucket list!
Enjoy where your ideals and wish-filled desires lead you – beyond adventure, beyond self-awareness and autonomy and into what magic is in store for you as you reach beyond the typical and as you embrace every moment of summer!
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

'ask dorothy' | Q & A
Faith in the Divine
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 58
~ Do you believe? Do you trust that your situation, what challenges you face, and your deepest wishes will all have a way of working in support of you? ~
💜
To heal the fear, to uncover the faith, you must surrender the ego mind.
When you hold yourself in the spirit of grace – when you hold yourself in the willingness of power – all love and comfort is yours.
You do not need to find peace, you become peace.
Yours is the most gracious path into all things remarkable and full of love.
This is truly what you are given each time you surrender and as you let go of the noise of the critical mind ~ and as you settle into the inner peace that you hold within.
Grace eases us into faith. Our focus may then be towards our greatest ideals.
You surrender worry, doubt and fear and you embrace the truth and the freedom that you hold to see this – to live this in all of the moments of your life.
A practical means for releasing, surrendering the noise of the ego is to learn the question I teach my clients: ‘What is true?’
What is factual?
What is the correct information and ‘right’ knowledge?
What is absolute and certain?
Everything else is not needed because as you open your heart, it will lead you to what is most important and cherished ~ and the faith that is calling you to be and do and experience what becomes a ‘right’ path towards all that you seek.

'ask dorothy' | Q & A
Self-Study IS Liberation
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 56
~ "gnōthi seauton" ~ Know Thyself ~
💜
In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I answer the question: What are the characteristics and traits of those who self-actualize and who live in liberation and the freedom to be all that they can and more?
If you are here and listening, this is for you.
We live in a society and a world in which we are taught to look outside of our self for answers, for authority, for validation, for friendship, for community; for the ideals that we are taught to strive for and the timeline for accomplishing what is deemed acceptable.
Nowhere is our heart more certain than when we have found another who loves and adores us.
The gaze is always external. Even when we are asked to know ourselves, we still compare what we see with what we perceive to be the inspired ideal.
Self-actualization can be misrepresented. We may have an idea and an image of what it means to experience a state of being in which we have arrived. We are here. We are complete.
Self-actualized people have an acceptance of who they are, including what I call ‘the ego mind’ ~ the human construct that at times pulls us in to the limited ways in which we think and act and which create our suffering.
When you are self-actualized you experience a drive to be creative in all aspects of your life. This is in fact how you thrive.
Sending you great 💜 love...

Self-Discipline is What Makes You Successful
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 54
~ The discipline supports the benefit. ~
💜
If you want to live more disciplined, if you want to take self-discipline to the highest level to live this easily and to allow it to work for you in creating a life even more successful and satisfying, this episode is for you.
Discipline is a teachable subject. We learn it first as it is modelled by our family of origin and we learn as we seek to be and become more.
Discipline is tenacity. It is strength. It is willingness to take the steps that manifest your goals and dreams. Self-discipline is what drives and also inspires the work that you do and what action becomes habit, routine, normalcy as a way of life.
In this episode of 'ask dorothy' meet my client Gavin who initially blamed his poor choices and his overall unhappiness on his girlfriend and others before the reality check of criminal charges and being on the verge of academic expulsion stirred within him - the fire of 'tapas' and the self-discipline he needed to turn his life around.
* The name of my client has been changed to protect his privacy. His story is real.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Fall In Love With Your Life
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 52
~ Live with the perception that everything is (as I remind clients) ~ 'perfect as it is’.
This is 'Santosha' or contentment. ~
💜
In this episode of 'ask dorothy' I ask you the questions. They are questions intended to provoke self-introspection, self-realization and a new dialogue for who you want to be.
What can you hold your heart open to? What can you live in full appreciation and contentment of – here and now?
To say the words to yourself ‘I AM content’ in any moment ~ becomes a visceral and definite reminder of a state of being that you choose deliberately. As you truly align with your words, you are already that much closer to happiness and joy.
We choose contentment because we are present with the experiences of each moment without judging them right or wrong, good or bad.
Something important about the teaching of santosha ~ it calls upon us to acquire the skill of abiding calm – an unshakable centre that exists when you realize that there is nothing missing in each moment. There is nothing missing in your life.
There is also space for you to create whatever you wish for and then to take the steps that will bring what is wanted to you.
If you live with the perception that everything is (as I remind clients) ‘perfect as it is’ – this is the practice of santosha – to allow life to reveal itself to you in each moment without you needing to control or seek or grasp something different. This is the path and the joy of living content.
I remind clients of this who become mired in their focus upon what is wrong with their lives or who require certain circumstances in order to feel content.
For example, they will be happy once their son graduates from high school because right now he is behind one full semester, or they will be happy when their divorce is complete because it has been dragging for several months and draining their energy, or happy when they lose the weight they have gained and lost and gained again because they continue to self-soothe through eating.
If you remove yourself from the opportunity and the experience of contentment because you are not where you want or need to be ~ it is no different then when I decided I wouldn’t enjoy cycling because of the effort of hills to climb without contemplating how one can be content in the moment of the climb.
We climb hills every day metaphorically ~ challenges before us, tasks and responsibilities that need our attention and effort.
If you choose to approach your life content, it will lead you into authentic happiness and it will invite you to experience more of life’s wonder and beauty and it will allow you to be content even if you feel discouraged, frustrated, lonely, or sad.
Join me as we discuss how to live in full contentment of your life. I also share four of the best practices of santosha - contentment for you to live now. Namaste!!
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Discipline of Purity
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 50
~ What are the ways in which you can seek to live with a pure heart? ~
💜
Patterns of thinking, beliefs, assumptions, and the daily habits of the mind and body can keep us far removed from the precious experiences of our life and the way in which life reveals how perfect each moment truly is.
In Sunday’s episode of the podcast we began the journey ~ the first of a series of 5 into the Niyamas.
Niyamas are the second limb or path of the yoga sutras and are the Sanskrit word for observances.
These ancient wisdom teachings impress upon us the gifts of living the sacred possibilities of life ever abundant ~ unfolding in perfect ways and of our inner dwelling appreciation of the relationship we hold with ourselves and to which we seek to live as spirit in action.
In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’, we examine how life can be sacred, how it can feel special and hopeful ~ and how you can live your daily habits and routines as the most beautiful moments ~ enjoyed purely.
In this Q & A episode I ask you the questions that help embrace what has been missing; what has kept you far removed from seeing the pureness and beauty of life ~ in the simple pleasures and in the richness of living each moment present to the fullest.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Life in Exquisite Balance
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 46
~ Brahmacharya as a moral discipline is how we turn the mind inward and how we balance the senses, leading us to freedom from dependencies and cravings. ~
💜
How do you live in balance? in harmony? with yourself and with all of life? Why is balance and harmony the key for feeling complete, full, and whole?
In a culture of excess, can we enjoy and savour the sacredness of singular moments ~ each moment woven into the next and to which becomes the flow of life and all that we know life to be.
In the last several episodes we’ve been exploring the yamas. The word Yama is Sanskrit for ‘restraint’. It is more commonly defined as a moral discipline and moral code that guides us into self-actualization ~ meaning... to attain our psychological needs for personal growth and development throughout our life and to live a life of meaning and purpose.
There are five yamas that are found in the ancient text: ‘The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali’. The Yoga Sutras are akin to a guide or an instruction manual on how to live and to advance along a spiritual path towards enlightenment.
This episode of ‘ask dorothy’ is a Q and A. It is for you to ponder my questions and to hold reflection whether as you include any of these in your journal writing, or simply as constructs in which to open your mind and your heart.
We all live with excess. Think about the means by which you have and acquire more. Does having more of something fulfill you ~ or ~ is fulfillment the appreciation of the experience or object before you ~ and in its fullest capacity?
Brahmacharya is about moderation of the senses. As a moral discipline it is a key practice for managing our sensory cravings.
The secret to live in the balance – to not need the excess – to moderate the indulgences so they are not in control of you, is to enjoy what is right now ~ what you already have, what exists all around you ~ and here in this moment.
This is what is meant to enjoy fully the pleasure of now. It is to witness the precious nature of each moment in its full capacity without the distractions of looking to something more or different.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Truth Sets You Free
'ask dorothy'
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 42
~ Truth will lead you out of darkness because it is in illuminating ‘what is’ that you then may in the very next moment, find your path again and into the light. ~
💜
This episode picks up where we left on last in our discussion of the five Yamas – moral disciplines that are recorded in the ancient philosophical texts of the Yoga Sutras and here I dive into some ‘Q and A’ on the topic of truth.
Truthfulness or ‘Satya’ is the second yama or limb of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and this moral vow holds many secrets for how we can free ourselves from our suffering.
There are many ways that truth finds you. As much as some may avoid truth’s yearnings you can never avoid or deny its huge revelations.
I’m going to let you in on a huge secret to what will always bring joy into your life and for what will always reassure you – to live honourably – to feel supported in your decisions – and to always guide you along a right path.
Satya the Sanskrit word for truth is the definitive ground. It is what supports and upholds all of your faithful decisions. It is truth that compels you to seek change and to honour what you stand for and believe in.
Truth is how you create relations and connection and how you show yourself to be trustworthy and reliable. You need to know ‘what is’ true with accuracy and factual information in order to make the right and best decisions.
Truth is not always easy. It is not always what you want to hear or know especially if what is desired is something different. Let me say here that the truth will always be what you need to know.
You can work with truth. You can find your way to your right answers when you have the correct and accurate information.
Making a decision of any importance needs to rest upon knowing the truth.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!
