Spiritual Joy
'ask dorothy'
The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 14
~ Spiritual joy exists when you free yourself from attachments of the past and concerns with the future – to live in the present. ~
💜
The seventh and final episode in a series on 'Happiness' & 'JOY'
Join me in this episode as I walk us through the sacred meaning of spiritual joy and share a WISDOM Note as you contemplate the practice of living in true abundant joy.
Spiritual joy – is an elevated state of consciousness that is built upon the practices of releasing the mind’s need to build and tell stories (of past or future) and to hold thoughts that are not serving to the nature of joy that you can embody.
This is a journey. It is a practice that I know you will want to embrace, for living the true meaning of joy.
The 'new joy' is spiritual abundance – the abundant nature of your life and the knowledge that all that you are is the perfection of life itself.
Spiritual joy is grace. It is the profound liberation of all suffering because the freedom of joy is in the present moment. ~ You must be here to hold witness to it.
Practical Wisdom:
Whenever you feel an absence of joy, Ask yourself: Am I living in the present?

This is the power of happiness (as perfection). This is the nature of grace. This is the divine in awe of everything.
This is a formula ~ a way of life that we can all practice and teach our children and model for those around us as the examples of how we can live happiness readily.
As I describe each of these pillars – consider how they are necessary factors in experiencing your authentic happiness.

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. 💜

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 ~

The Official Name Change Episode
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 59
~ "Change is needed. Change is inevitable. Change is freedom.” - dorothy zennuriye juno ~
💜
What bold and daring decision have you made a reality?
Do you follow your heart regularly and do you follow it through to where it leads you?
Have you ever done something radically different and then fallen in love with it?
Have you ever felt an inner desire that you gave your attention to that spurred you towards action ~ whether it was to write a book, learn an instrument, build a garden, , move your life to a different geography, have a child, give up an addiction, or perhaps to fall in love with yourself and your life?
There are some of the many experiences of making decisions driven by an awakened voice within you and the conscious desire to evolve and transform ~ to live full on and unapologetically as your true self ~ even if at times, you may not know (just yet) where the path unfolding ~ will lead.
This episode is dedicated to each one of you as you begin the steps ~ a simple yet excitable idea that launches you towards sight unseen, what will become a future revelation of you ~ and at other times the giant and indeed scary leaps forward ~ towards the vision you have always held ~ your heart certain ~ all that you need to do is follow its urging towards something new and always in hopes of a brighter and more compelling life ~ that you are choosing.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

'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...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

SVADHYAYA ~ Self-Study ~
The Niyamas Series: 4 of 5
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 55
~ The world gives you what you see. ~
💜
In this week’s episode we dive into the discipline of self-study and why this is necessary for self-fulfillment, epic growth, and personal freedom.
Here I share the steps for self-study and the ways in which we can experience our perceptions to invite us deeper into ourselves with love and grace and appreciation and for learning how capable we are.
The Sanskrit word for this is svadhyaya. Sanskrit is the world’s oldest language and it is the ancient and the classic language of India.
'Self-study' or Svadhyaya refers to knowing our true identity as divine consciousness. Think of it like this: This means that you already are ‘good enough’ capable, and perfect as you are.
Svadhyaya is the fourth of 5 Niyamas or observances that originate in the ancient text of the Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali.
The Yoga Sutras or ‘threads’ (as this word translates from Sanskrit) are a collection of 196 short verses that serve as a guide to attain wisdom and self-realization on how to live in order to advance along a spiritual path towards enlightenment.
Beyond the postures of yoga, the scripture of the yoga sutras provides the disciplines and observances that guide you in a practical and sacred methodology – to bring greater understanding to your life experiences and the guidance for taking ownership of your life, directing it towards the fulfillment that you seek.
In this episode I cite and also quote directly from Deborah Adele’s book: . From my research and study of the Yamas and the Niyamas, I’ve found Deborah’s book to be thoroughly enjoyable to read and I love how she has woven personal stories and other wisdom teachings throughout. I will leave a link here for how you can get a copy.
The yogis teach that we, as human beings, are at our core ~ divine consciousness.
Around this pure consciousness we have been impacted by our varied experiences, our conditioning, and our belief systems. This changes the way in which we see and identify ourselves, what we believe to be true, our preferences and dislikes, and our fears ~ and imagination.
If you think about the various layers that we hold ~ each informed by country, culture, gender, family history, the groups we belong to, and our personal experiences, it becomes difficult to remember who we truly are.
Who you are is the god consciousness. You don’t need to pray to a god outside of you. You simply need to be your god consciousness far more of the time ~ to live this ~ and to realize how incredible you are as your goodness.
The yogis tell us that we suffer because we forget who we are. We forget that we are really the divine.
Svadhyaya or self-study is about knowing our true identity and understanding the experiences that have shaped us. We find clues to this by watching our projections, tracing our reactions back to a belief we hold, and by courageously looking at life as it is.
This process of knowing ourselves creates a path to freedom. The ability to shift the way in which we identify ourselves from our ego to being a witness, and finally to our true identity as the divine itself is what svadhyaya – calls the joy of self-study.
I close out the episode with the practical ways to embrace the teaching of Svadhyaya. Please join me!
Please consider a practice of self-study. Leave a note for me here! Share with me what you are learning in your devotion inward.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

SANTOSHA ~ Contentment ~
The Niyamas Series: 2 of 5
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 51
~ "Contentment is falling in love with your life.” - Swami Rama ~
💜
Welcome to this series on the Niyamas. Niyama is Sanskrit for “rules, guidelines, or observances.” Niyamas appear in Hindu and Buddhist texts, and they are best known as the second limb of the eight limbs of yoga, as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
In Indian traditions, particularly Yoga, Niyamas and their complement, Yamas, are recommended activities and habits for healthy living, spiritual enlightenment, and a liberated state of existence.
The five niyamas the focus of this series ~ are constructive tools for cultivating happiness and self-confidence; the opportunity to practice and live in the balance of each of these arises in almost every moment day.
The five Niyamas are practices to be nurtured and cultivated. They will remain with us throughout our lives taking us ever deeper into the subtle realms of our being, moving us closer to the stillness inside.
The Niyamas as spiritual and practical teachings lead us beyond the body (in our activity and our asanas) and our mind (in meditation). Without them, samadhi ~ a state of joyful calm, or even of rapture and beatitude, in which one maintains full mental alertness and acuity ~ would be an impossible dream.
I also invite to check out my 5-part series on the Yamas next. These are moral disciplines that transcend all world religions as guiding us to live of our light and our highest self. I will leave links for this series in the description.
In this episode I cite and also quote directly from Deborah Adele’s book: The Yamas and Niyamas. Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice. Her wise words guide us into the practical and the spiritual as we explore the significance of the focus of this episode and the niyama santosha or “contentment” as well as “delight, happiness, joy.”
Santosha invites us into contentment by taking refuge in a calm centre, opening our hearts in gratitude for what we do have, and practising the paradox of ‘not seeking’.
'Not seeking' as not needing to be seeking and grasping whilst missing out on what is right in front of us ~ and often what is pure perfection.
While there is always a place and a need to look forward and plan the future, it is equally important to measure this with the balance of enjoying what is right here and now and directly in front of us. This is how we cultivate contentment for ‘what is’.
Along with getting ready for the next thing we seek, we tend to look at people’s lives and then decide what is missing from our own, rather than appreciate what we have.
When we compare ourselves to others and envy them, we move ourselves into a state of lack and disappointment. This moves us further away from feeling contentment, complete, and whole.
Contentment arises out of acceptance—of life, of ourselves, and of whatever life is offering to us in the present.
If you live the practice of Santosha ~ life would instantly be happier, easier, better, and with far more freedom to enjoy ‘what is’.
When we are content, we are happy. Thus—and here is the practice of this niyama—through the power of contentment, happiness becomes our choice.
Please join me in this beautiful practice. Send me a note! Let me know how you are living the practice of santosha in your life.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Shedding The Inauthentic Self
An Experience Into Wholeness
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 37
~ The inauthentic parts of you are those parts that you are not happy with. ~
💜
Timestamps:
A Mantra: 0-1:56 | Podcast Theme Intro: 1:57 | The Inauthentic Parts Defined: 3:24 | How to Feel Whole and Complete: 5:41 | Reclaim All of Who You Truly Are ~ A Visualization Experience: 6:46 | Podcast Theme Outro: 23:14
This episode begins with a mantra to help you begin the energetic release of the aspects of you that you no longer wish to be ~ as you reclaim your wholeness with the behaviors, attitude, and beliefs that best represent your highest self.
Here we do some very cool shape-shifting towards living whole and of your authentic self.
It’s time to break free from what aspects of yourself are inauthentic ~ that is ~ what has never served you.
We learn so much from the external world that does not serve who we truly are and all that we desire to be.
What traits, behaviours, mindset is not wholly kind and loving is also not authentic.
As humans we all experience moments when we are living out of our dark side ~ the inauthentic part of our self, largely ingrained with the ego’s need to be right, to be in competition with or better than another – and the desire to find approval and importance when really you already have everything you need to be monumental in your life ~ and true to your highest good.
“Release what you will no longer be – the antithesis of something is something better.”
Shedding the inauthentic self is releasing what is not wanted. This is replaced with a return to embracing what you truly are at your core. The new behaviours, mindset, thoughts, and actions all contribute to feeling whole and complete ~ as you are.
In releasing the cycles of your past, you are free to live whole ~ and true to yourself ~ all that is built upon what you are ~ that is pure goodness, grace, kindness, love, inspired to create and to thrive, and the ability to appreciate all of life’s beautiful moments in the present.
If you would like my help in your journey of living authentic, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

What is Your Path of Joy? | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 36
- The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honors your heart in light of your moment by moment choices. -

Podcast Theme Intro: 0-1:32 | An Intro to this Episode and A Memory of 'Joy' of My Life: | What is Your Path of Joy? Question For Your Contemplation: 2:53 | My Client Sarah*: 5:04 | Sarah's Path of Joy: 6:42 | How Joy is Experienced: 9:10 | How Sarah Would Reclaim Her Path of Joy: 9:55 | The One Protocol That Will Always Illuminates Your Path of Joy: 11:32 | Podcast Theme Outro: 13:43
What is your path of joy? How is joy your inspiration; leading you on your journey through life? Where in your physical being do you feel joy? How does joy reveal itself to you?
For my client Sarah, joy became a desired longing and a precious gift the longer that she remained out of joy.
In our session, Sarah reminded herself of her path of joy – of how it felt as the energy of lightness and ease and of the happiness.
Joy is experienced in the simple and deliberate expressions of gratitude and abundance. Joy is always with you. It is easily accessible as you acknowledge its existence and as you hold a place in your heart for its infinite love in the present moment ~ and in your pure witnessing of it.
The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honors your heart in light of your moment by moment choices.
Sarah would need to be wholly honest with herself to reclaim her path of joy. You need to do the same. We all do. Joy is easily accessible. It is the acknowledgement of all that you are in appreciation of, and the kindness you hold in your thoughts and words for yourself and others.
Joy lived in Sarah’s expression of honesty and acknowledgement of what she needed to be happy.
Could you live in your expression of self-honesty? Could you follow what is truly your right path, moment by moment?
*My client’s name has 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 honor your path and your life.
If you would like my help to find your path back to joy and authentic happiness, please reach out to me.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Forgiveness is F R E E D O M
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 35
- Forgiveness is for giving yourself healing and love. -

A Place for Forgiveness: 0-1:07 | Podcast Theme Intro: 1:08 | An Intro to this Episode : 2:35 | Forgiveness as a Solution: 3:44 | Change is Always a Conscious Choice: 5:25 | The Formula for Freedom: 5:51 | How to Break the Cycle: 7:20 | Out of Your Choice to Forgive Emerges Freedom: 10:08 | Words to Release Hurt and Suffering: 11:22 | Peace: 14:27 | Forgiveness For Your Own Past Actions: 15:59 | The Greatest Power In Healing: 19:47 | The Universal Law of Cause and Effect: 21:09 | The Spiritual Benefits of Forgiveness: 22:08 | If there is someone that you need to forgive... 24:10 | Forgiveness is Your Willingness to Step Forward: 26:25 | Podcast Theme Outro: 27:23
There can be a place for forgiveness in your heart for the unkind and hurtful actions given by another; for any damaging and abusive behavior together with the harmful messages that have caused you to hold doubt and a lack of confidence in yourself and of your abilities ~ and for what has evoked within you ~ to question what you know is true and best for your life.
I want you to know that you can find a place for forgiveness in your heart and throughout your being - that leads you out of the sadness and suffering you have felt and into freedom: freedom that releases the hurts of the past, freedom that liberates you into the moments of now ~ and no longer mired in thoughts that ruminate on the extent of the damage that has been caused to you.
"You break the cycle when you liberate yourself from needing to make another person see the truth of their actions and to change, you free yourself to heal, to refocus on your life, and you are able to release your suffering.
You are not responsible for fixing another person nor a relationship.
You cannot change the past.
You must simply make a decision as to what kind of relationship this is realistically able to be based on all that you have been observing ~ of the other person, and yourself."
You may be wondering how forgiveness is a solution; how will it change any of the replete demonstrations of someone’s unkindness, dishonesty, and disrespect ~ or worse - the inconceivable acts of rage and violence from one human being to another.
Something that I want you to keep in mind as we go through this episode is the fact that people who are hurting, hurt others.
As humans, we repeat the cycle of dishonor, disrespect, aggression, and abuse in its many forms as learned behaviors and for as long as we remain unaware of and/or if we refuse to look at these actions with honesty and reverence.
If you would like my help in your journey of forgiveness and healing, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

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...

Build A Positive Sense of Self:
8 Wildly Important ‘Best Practices' to Live By
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 18
“You can check in with all of those who love you; whose love is unconditional and unwavering but the true feeling of certainty is born out of the love that you liberate yourself unto.” - dorothy zennuriye juno
Your positive sense of self is the means by which you live - awakened to know and appreciate all of the aspects that define you; in the context of how you witness yourself in the world, self-honest and willing to live honorably – to do the right thing – because this is how you experience yourself as a being of love.
In psychology, sense of self refers to your conceptualization of the collection of characteristics that define you.
Personality traits, abilities and skills, your likes and dislikes, your belief system, your morals and values, what motivates you — how you view yourself in relationships and your perception of how others relate to and receive you. These all contribute to self-esteem and your unique identity as a person.
There are many natural and organic ways that each one of us develops our sense of self beginning with our early childhood. With the known research in neural plasticity, we have the ability to change our sense of self; to develop a more positive and certainly a healthier sense of who we are.
In this episode we discuss what it means to have a healthy and strong sense of self – one that exists because of the relationship you build and nurture with yourself. This is the most important relationship you will ever have. It begins the true awakening of what lies within – what you are beyond the physical and your mind.
Sense of self is achieved by developing the means by which you can be comfortable and content in your own company and to enjoy the companionship of yourself.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!
