The idea of romantic love is something that we all seek. We want to love. We want to be loved.
Unconditional love of a partner and especially when this love was not constant or present in our life is what helps us to feel our wholeness, to see ourselves as we truly are - and live our greatness.
The idea of romantic love is to guide us into ourselves ~ to hold us responsible for our ability to be loving and to know the love that we capable of.

"Love is grace. Love is kindness and the actions of love are felt deeply at the soul level ~ even when at times one is giving more than receiving."

Why is this question so important?
How do you know when it is love?
What else could it be?
I share spiritual scripture I have written to remind us of the power of love that lives within each one of us. 🙏💜
...and a story here from my childhood and one not of romantic love to describe the feeling that we experience early in life of the feeling of being loved.
You see, we learn what love feels like long before we put words to it and long before we look for and find romantic love.
It is always a feeling first. As you recognize this you begin to know the feeling of love when it is real and when it is another language – a language of deception, lust, greed, selfishness, manipulation.
It isn’t always necessary to identify what the other feeling is as long as you recognize when it is not love.
Begin to notice when the feeling of love ~ is presence or absent. It will be visibly, tangibly noticeable ~ just like it was for me that day in the reactions of both uncle and grandfather ~ because love is the most beautiful energy in the world.
As you name this feeling ~ as you know what love feels like within your being, then you know when someone is being loving towards you and when it is not love.

Love Your Life NOW
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 84
"You must and you can love your life as it is, even as you seek more."
~ dorothy zennuriye juno
💜
To fall in love with your life also suggests that you are constantly making choices that are aligned with what you truly want ~ and what is wanted.
The secret to enjoying your life ~ to loving your life ~ is enjoying and appreciating the present moments of what your life is now and in the absence of critical or judgmental thoughts.
In appreciating yourself more and as you enjoy more of all of who you are ~ you learn to love who you currently are. This is how you provide the fertile ground to continue your ever expanding desires for more.
Realize that you are constantly choosing your life. Nowhere is that more important than as you seek to live in the perfection of who you are.
Falling in love with your life means that you also appreciate and value yourself even more.
How can you fall in love with your life as it is now?
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The 'Gift' of Love
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 68
~ What do you need of yourself to gift love? ~
💜
This episode highlights my weekly WISDOM Notes ~ offerings of inspiration, guidance and love for the week ahead and for the rest of your life.
Here the focus is the how you 'gift' yourself the gift of love that fills your heart and your entire being ~ and inspires you to be loving to all beings.
What do you need to 'gift' love?
Is it patience? ...endless forgiveness?
Is it to uphold clear boundaries and to love someone from a distance?
Is your gift of love transferrable?
Is it going to be in the language that another will understand easily?
Do you need self-care to 'gift' love?
Do you need to feel peace, wholeness, generosity, connection... or the confidence in knowing that your gift of love will be more than enough?
As the true embodiment of the human spirit, it is not only at the holidays or on the commercially-driven customary gift giving 'holidates' throughout the year that we may be inspired to bring love...
True gift giving is the ability to generate love as a currency that effortlessly flows from you to each and every person that you meet ~ that you speak with ~ that you email and text.
Love is the energy ~ the solution that you fill each and every thought and word with. It then becomes incredibly easy and transparent to see.
Love is its own currency. It is the energy we hold to be honorable, kind, generous, forgiving, and trustworthy. It is a simple outpouring of who we are. 💜
:: For the Week Ahead :: Gift yourself the gift of love.
Practice this as what you have decided to be ~ to live and then gift love to every living being because whilst love is free, it is priceless and generous beyond imagine. ~ namaste ~
Need a little inspiration for being love and 'gifting' self-love? Work with me!

Your ’Love Longevity List.’ The Three Secrets for Longevity in Your Love Relationship.
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 21
~The longevity of your love relationship depends on this. ~
In the world of dating, it’s natural to want to show up when you meet someone for the first time; to show them your best self.
It’s a deeply ingrained part of our human condition. The desire for validation and approval are among the strongest motivating forces. Feeling approved of and loved contributes to feeling confident and worthy.
Naturally we look to our love relationship as a main source of validation and worth. It’s one place but certainly not the only.
My hope is that you will realize the importance of developing the relationship with hold with yourself first - and to continue to dedicate energy and attention to the one person that needs to love you the most.
In this episode I share what you can do to exist as authentic and true - first to yourself; and to enlist each of these three longevity secrets to ensure happiness, great love, and the confidence in knowing that you have chosen well in a partner.
Join me here to shift your perspective in how you look for a partner and love.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Somewhere Between The Rage and the Silence: Mastering Self-Regulation
'ask dorothy' | A Real Life Client Story
Part 2/3 on Emotional Intelligence
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 19
"Self-Regulation is one of the five basic competencies of emotional intelligence."
💜

What if you grew up in a household where one parent would lose their cool a lot?
They would yell at the top of their lungs whether in general frustration or as a means of calling attention to something that you or one of your siblings wasn’t doing or was doing that you shouldn’t be.
What if both parents did that and it became a normative culture to witness raised voices every time someone was frustrated or angry?
What if yelling by one or both parents was taught as acceptable based on the rationalization that ‘yelling is the only way for me to get you to listen.”
Or, perhaps in your home you witnessed one or both parents blaming another person or a situation for how they feel. For example, making an external condition the source of one’s stress rather than looking to one’s thoughts and perceptions as the cause of one’s feelings.
We all have experiences growing up of how difficult emotions were demonstrated.
Anger, sadness and anxiety are the three most common emotions that we struggle with.
How you learned to express your emotions is largely a facet of what you were taught; what was shown repeatedly and what therefore became normalized.
Welcome to part two in this three part series on Emotional Intelligence. I would like to set the record by stating we all have learned from our caregivers how to display emotions.
Whether inappropriate and unhealthy such as in the examples I cited earlier, or as in some households, at first glance it would seem that no one ever gets angry.
Everyone seems so pleasant and calm. In some families difficult and unwanted emotions are rarely shared and expressed openly.
You may have learned to choke back what you feel; to store it away; to not let others really know what is bothering you, or how angry you really are.
In part one of this series on Emotional intelligence, I shared my client Anastasia’s story of how one situation – one critical moment became the tipping point that changed her life forever; and that became the precipice for building what was an absence of emotional regulation and other basic competencies such as empathy and self-awareness.
If you haven’t yet, please listen next to part one, and then join me as we wrap up this series in part three and the true story of another client – and how in honing the skills (the competencies) of emotional intelligence, helped to overcome the experiences of their past trauma.
Here in part two, I share the impact of emotional dysregulation as it specifically relates to living in a state of constant amygdala hijacking and how the psychological stresses (whether real or imagined) can create a feedback loop of reacting to stress.
You are about to meet my client Gary* and his wife Silvana*. Each member of this couple was in a constant state of dysregulation - and both triggered by the other's reaction to their expression of emotion.
To help, I share the three best strategies (used in conjunction with each other) to successfully self-regulate emotions. If you've ever lost control of your emotions, you'll want to learn these effective strategies!! Join me!
* The names of my clients (and their loved ones) have been changed to maintain confidentiality.
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 would like my help as you build these five competencies of EI (emotional intelligence) please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Chakra WISDOM: Your Anahata Chakra
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 78
Welcome back to this sacred journey into the chakras.
The chakra system originated in India between 1500 and 500 BC – more than four thousand years ago in the ancient literature of the Vedas. Evidence of the chakras, is also found in the Upanishads, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and perhaps most thoroughly in the sixteenth century by an Indian yogi in a text called the Sat-Chakra-Nirupana.
The chakra system was taught orally by the Indo-Eurpoean people (also called the Aryan people). It was traditionally considered an Eastern philosophy until New Age authors, like Anodea Judith and others, resonated with this wisdom and began writing about the chakras.
If you’ve been joining me in this series, I hope that you’ve allowed yourself to explore the wisdom of these ancient energy centers; these spinning sacred wheels of life. They are believed to hold energetic space within us; and which link areas of the body and psyche with associated metaphysical realms.
Within each episode in this series, I describe how each chakra affects our psychology, and our emotions and behaviours as human beings. Based on the teachings of this ancient wisdom and the modern day authors who bring this wisdom to life, I share it because it is yet another important way to understand the self; your patterns and behaviours; and how you may help yourself unblock and balance the flow of energy that moves through you. You also begin to draw insights and a helpful perspective from the ancient wisdom of the chakras, including what limiting thoughts and beliefs hold you back from living the full expression of life.
Perhaps, most important still, my hope is to give you additional resources and another source of self-healing; for finding and thriving ‘in balance’, and for helping to effect the change you seek – within yourself and of your life.
As I share with you the teachings of your fourth chakra, I reference and take direct quotes from Anodea Judith’s book: Eastern Body Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self and the work of Carolyn Myss and her book: Anatomy of the Spirit. The Seven Stages of Power and Healing. I’ll link up their work here in the description; as both are esteemed experts in this field, and these are great reads if you wish to learn more.
A chakra is a center of organization that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. Based on their location in the body the chakras have become associated with various states of consciousness, archetypal elements, and philosophical constructs. The lower chakras, for example which are physically closer to the earth, are related to the more practical matters of our lives – survival, movement, action. They are ruled by physical and social law. The upper chakras represent mental realms and work on a symbolic level through words, images, and concepts. Each of the seven chakras from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, represents a major area of human psychological health.
Here we dive into your Anahata, your heart center. Since the heart chakra is the middle point in a system of seven centers, balance, together with love and relationship) are the essential principles at this level of integration. This implies both internal balance between various aspects of ourselves (mind and body, persona and shadow, masculine and feminine), as well as between ourselves and the world around us (for example: work and play, giving and receiving, socializing and being alone).
It is important to continue to find and live in equilibrium, for without balance within ourselves it is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve healthy and long-lasting love relationships. The basic right of the heart chakra is to love and to be loved.
Be sure to take part in the guided meditation that closes out this episode. It is a beautiful experience in balancing the beautiful sacred energy of this chakra. 🧘♀️💜 Namaste!

How Long Have You Waited For Love?| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast S2 E77
For so many clients it is in that very first session that we chart a course for the journey deep within; a journey that is often overdue; a journey that will help free clients from what hurts and trauma have caused them to doubt in their ability to feel whole and of peace; a journey that safely guides them into healing, love, acceptance and approval for what was not given freely and without conditions ~ and of which they (sometimes unknowingly), are now ready to give to themselves.
How Long Have You Waited For Love?
We are beginning to understand that love must be willingly given to our self ~ that we cannot thrive in the absence of it and we do not need to wait for someone to love us to feel loved.
Love as a feeling and a state of being that is experienced out of living in self-love.
Each one of us is equipped to love and to give love ceaselessly. We are all hard wired for this ~ to love yourself and to love others and to do this as the love of one human being to another.
It may be that we need to practice self-love ~ to first learn it and to be reminded of the ways that we already do this.
The experience of love directed inward is how we reclaim our power and our wholeness.
To direct love inward through words and actions of loving-kindness is how we walk the planet in perfect oneness; feeling attuned with our ability to feel loved.
Here I share the story of my client Sara* and her partner Dana* and the many self-sacrifices that Sara made in order to keep the relationship even as it became strife and emotional turmoil ~ in tact.
*The names here have been changed to maintain confidentiality. My client’s story is real.
Sending you great 💜love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Chakra WISDOM: Your Swadhisthana Chakra
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 74
Welcome to this beautiful series and a journey through these sacred centers of wisdom called chakras.
As we dive into the realm of our second chakra, we encounter emotions and sexuality. Where the first chakra centers around survival and structure, the focus here is all about movement, creativity, and flow. The Sacral Chakra or Swadhisthana governs the energy of creativity, pleasure, sex, procreation, control and morality. It also presides over dreams and fantasies.
The second chakra is located in the lower abdomen. The color of this chakra is bright orange. Its glow fills the pelvis, bathing the sexual organs, enlivening our desire and capacity for pleasure.
As I share the sacred wisdom of this Chakra, I lean to a wonderful book titled: The Rainbow Journey: Seven Steps to Self-Healing, Dr. Brenda Davies. Years earlier, I would find a used copy of this book. It was very worn and the spine had let go, and yet I saw it as a ‘sweet’ find and it continues to be a wonderful resource and guide to the chakra system. I’ll leave a link for it in the description.
I purposefully use the word ‘sweet’ as the Sanskrit word Swadhisthana has many translations – ‘the sacred home’, ‘the sweet place’ and ‘the goddess’ favorite standing place” because here at the second chakra it is about allowing pleasure and joy in the many experiences of life.
As I share with you the teachings of this Chakra, I also reference and take direct quotes from Anodea Judith’s book: Eastern Body Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self and I’ll link up her work here for you also, as she is an esteemed expert in the Chakras.

Two Important 'Takeaways' From This Episode: 2:15 | The Four Ways to Build Emotional Connection and Intimacy: 3:24 | The Definition of Emotional Connection: 5:38 | How Emotional Connection Happens: 6:23 | One Assumption You Might Have About Love: 10:08 | The Two Questions to Ask Yourself Which Determine Whether You Have Emotional Connection In Your Love Relationship: 12:04 | Emotional Connection is Not The Same As Sexual Chemistry: 13:35 | My Clients' Story - 'Meghan and Danny': 17:46
In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I share with you the four ways that emotional connection and intimacy are built; how to rebuild connection and intimacy; and the real life story of my client Meghan who thought that the connection and intimacy that she felt was mutual, until she got to know her partner Danny, far better.
One of the most important elements in determining the longevity of a mutually loving and healthy relationship is the degree to which both members of a couple feel emotional intimacy and connection.
In this episode, we dive into what is most needed and what holds a love relationship together through life's challenging moments; allowing a couple to feel an intimate and special closeness, the desire to remain faithful and committed to one another, and to continue to learn about each other. This is a depth of emotional intimacy and connection that is cultivated and sustained throughout the course of the relationship.
How You Build Emotional Connection and Intimacy:
- (1) Authenticity: be honest and truthful about who you are; be willing to reveal your personality, including your 'likes' and 'dislikes', what you think about and believe in, and the values that you hold.
- (2) Vulnerability: Your willingness to reveal personal and intimate aspects of yourself (as you feel safe to do so) that you would not likely share with the rest of the world; admit your faults and wrong doings and be willing to apologize and make things right when you have hurt someone (including your partner).
- (3) Mutual Respect: Be willing to uphold and maintain respect and kindness towards your partner even when you both may be in the throws of an argument (because you can destroy so much of the closeness and vulnerability that comes from opening yourself and sharing deeply when you are not respectful nor kind; or if you are at times - purposefully hurtful or vindictive).
- (4) Unconditional Love: be love; purely, completely, and without conditions or expectations.
"Emotional connection in a love relationship is built on the intimate sharing of who you are, the personal details of your life (past and present), your future dreams and aspirations and who you still desire to be.
Connection and intimacy is cultivated out of your discerned liking (and love) of someone, your genuine interest and desire to learn and know more about the other person and to willingly reveal your whole self - with complete honesty and openness."
- dorothy zennuriye juno
"One critical element required by both members of a couple when building emotional connection is complete honesty."
- dorothy zennuriye juno
It is in being vulnerable and wholly honest with yourself first, that allows you to become more aware of what you may be in denial or avoidance of.
The deepest aspects of your self that you are able to reveal to your partner are often the aspects that need to be healed from your past.
In the early stages of dating, when you like someone and want to appear favourable in their eyes, it is natural that you want to show them the parts of your self that you want them to see.
The (deeper) emotional connection that you establish is built on your mutual ability to be vulnerable, to reveal all of your self even in moments when you are not at your best; and to consistently offer unconditional love, respect and kindness to your partner.
You must speak up if their behaviour is undesirable or unkind but you can do so with love, respectfully.
This allows you to feel safe; to be secure in the commitment of your relationship; and to strengthen your belief in your worthiness of being loved.
"Emotional connection is established and deepened by your ability to trust in another wholeheartedly and to feel safe and secure that you will be accepted unconditionally and not judged for who you are."
- dorothy zennuriye juno
"Our emotions serve as a strong indicator and a launching point for all of the choices we make since we are most influenced by how we feel. The more information we acquire about someone that is pleasing to us (for example, as they present to us as sharing similar values, beliefs and life goals), the more appealing we find them as a potential life mate, and the greater our desire and attraction towards them."
"Emotional connection and support is expressed most readily through loving words, understanding, patience and thoughtfulness."
And a loving end note: Regardless of how long you have been in relationship with someone, the emotional connection must continue to be nurtured and coveted as sacred.
Sexual intimacy and physical affection can definitely help to keep an emotional connection strong; but it is also important that a couple be intimate in their sharing of thoughts and feelings; in working together on their life plans and goals; and in who each is becoming.
