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 Season 2 Episode 28
"Let the magical journey of spiritual abundance be the foundation for how you witness everything."
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
What is spiritual abundance? and 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.
This episode 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.

'BODY LOVE' NOW
A Guided Meditation and Visualization
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 26
with Dorothy Ratusny
"I seek to wish what I have always known; that beauty and love begin in the heart." - dorothy ratusny
TRUTH SERUM: This is an extraordinary way to improve your body image as you hold gratitude and love; and as you awaken the power of manifesting and metamorphosis, and great healing.
A-HA MOMENTS: To truly love your body as it is, begins the journey into wholeness. This meditation on how to love and appreciate your body comes at a time when we all may seek greater presence in the witnessing of our perfect nature as we are; through eyes of eternal gratitude rather than judgment and criticism.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Even as you may seek to improve upon aspects of yourself, the secret is to appreciate and witness the perfection of your body as it is now.
Experience it for yourself. Let this be a practice that supports and nourishes you deeply; for the rest of your life.

Real Love
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 25
with Dorothy Ratusny
In this episode, we dive into the many reasons why you need love; why we all go in search of it; why it becomes a deliberate focus and calling; and how it enables you to thrive; that you might step out into the world each day, knowing with certainty, that someone; that others - have your back; that you are cared for and important, and that your life matters.
Real love is different from what you typically think of when speaking about romantic or familial love.
Real love is the unconditional and continuous flow of unquestionable care; (care meaning that you care about the other person’s well being and that you hold empathy and compassion towards them for situations that may cause them to suffer); that you are kind, considerate, non-judgmental; that you are respective, forgiving (that is... not allowing someone to continue to hurt you and cause harm, but forgiving as you retain healthy boundaries and choices that honour your needs and safety); and acceptance; of validating the worth of another through your appreciation and encouragement of them because within them exists the same possibility and potential that exists within you.
The idea that we can love another human being or any living being without conditions means that another person is not required to be or do exactly as what we decide they should (or ought to). Real love is the ability to honour the goodness of another; their perfect inner nature and their ability to be love in action.
You can provide perspective, insight and honesty to another to help them on their journey; but with the understanding that they must rise up to live as their highest self by their own free will choice.
This means finding the good in those that you have easily found fault with or who have let you down; or who have willingly harmed you by their words or actions. That's quite a lot to ask of our self; to hold loving kindness towards another whom we may not even like.
In this way, love is love of the present aspects of another; it is love of humanity because we all have the capacity for goodness (even if we do not always choose this). We all have the free will choice that brings us into a state of heightened awareness and to act from this conscious and inspired state that seeks to do the right thing; to live just and honourably because that is how we ultimately feel at our best.
Witness the generosity of your spirit; that you, that each one of us is capable of; to see the good in another even as we may also witness what inner struggles and uncertainty they may also hold.
How you do this is through your conscious decision to love all living beings for their goodness; and to be willing to see the good in others even when at that very moment, they are not acting of their good.
“We all have the ability to live as love; as love in action. It begins with a choice. You must decide it.”

How You Witness Infinite Beauty
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 24
with Dorothy Ratusny
‘Align yourself with your heart. This is how you witness infinite beauty.’ - dorothy ratusny
These words are a brief and beautiful summation of what you will hear in this episode.
Here I share the most simple, yet powerful means of instantly changing your perspective; your mindset and any mood or feeling that is unwanted. It is this: to hold presence and to witness the beauty in all of life circling you.
Many of the topics that I speak about in this podcast have become the poignant messages and timely topic for my videos on YouTube. It can be a helpful to have a listen here and then check out the video on this topic.
In this episode, I build further on the practice of presence that I spoke about last week; and of how you can apply this practice as a way of living life; to help you overcome feelings of anxiety and panic, anger, sadness, fear, and to help you navigate in a productive way whenever you are overwhelmed with the unknown and consistent change that continues for us all.
But here I share something new; a new approach and a best practice, to live your life, and to diminish any and all of the unpleasant thoughts and feelings that you may be mired in.
When you stop and hold presence in this moment, and as you take a mindful look around you; eyes open, senses aware and awake, you find the beauty in what you see.
Wherever you are; it could be in nature in awe of natural beauty; it could be gazing out your window, taking a few minutes from your computer to look up, to notice, to be attentive to what you are aware of; to hold presence in your mind and body to whatever is before you. The strategy; the practice is to hold presence; to allow it to reveal what you need to see; to feel; to know. That’s all.
"Holding presence is one of the most simple acts next to breathing." - dorothy ratusny
This is perhaps the most simple and yet profound means of instilling what beauty is present in each moment of life; if you choose to see it; to look for it; to appreciate it as it finds you in the most simple things. This way of holding presence allows you to feel thankful, gratitude and in appreciation of what you notice.
Finally, I would love for you to experience a guided meditation that helps you to witness the beauty in all of life. I will leave a link in the episode notes of which you can the download the meditation. This meditation titled, The Infinite Beauty Of Life: A Prose Meditation. It also lives on my website in the Wisdom Archives if you wish to listen there.
Your heart open is a simple offering of presence; of witnessing yourself and what is around you and of this moment. It is a way for you to hold peace in your heart as you make your way back into ‘now’. There is nothing else ‘to do’ except return to now.
Here in now, you might challenge yourself to find beauty – beauty in ‘what is’, not in needing anything to be different. Beauty in the simple joys of life; and the simple abundance of all that is. Whenever your mind is preoccupied with so much ‘to do’.

"Presence embodies both mindfulness and a meditative focus that allows the mind to witness; to be the observer of what you become aware of."
In this episode of the WISDOM podcast, I dive into the practice of presence; of what it means to experience it; of how to 'hold' presence to what is in front of you; how to become a witness to everything unfolding in the absence of judgment; and to examine presence from the perspective of your nonphysical self.
TRUTH SERUM: Presence is your witnessing of what 'is', in this moment; in both your external environment and the infinite space of what you are as you look within.
A-HA MOMENTS: To hold presence is to become a oneness with everything.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Develop a practice of presence as you take stock in what is important right now; and as you allow everything else to be – to be right here for you when you are ready to return to it. Then slowly everything gives away as you focus on the presence of this moment.

A Beautiful Guided Meditation of Self-Care
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 22
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-2:10 | Why Self-Care is More Important Than Ever: 2:12 | You Excel When You Live in Balance and Self-Care: 3:27 | The Self-Love WISDOM toolkit for the Best Self-Care Practices: 3:59 | Honour Your Relationship With Yourself: 4:35 | Experience the Single Most Powerful Tool to Nourish You: 5:25 | Self-Care Meditation: 6:26 | Episode Final Notes: 46:34 | Podcast Outro: 47:23
Right now and for whenever you may be listening, self-care is more important than ever. We need to know the tangible ways in which to nurture and care for our self and to know that this is an integral part of what sustains optimal mind, body, and spiritual health.
You, I, we all... have had moments where our body and mind begins to shut down, whether because of an emotional overload, or because of physical exhaustion.... yet have we done anything to circumvent this by our deliberate action; and because we have been able to sense a need and then to give that need to our self?
TRUTH SERUM: When you shut down, you may look to your well practiced vices for giving you a boost; for allowing you to numb out or escape or push past what is healthy, to continue working hard; but ultimately, and the most successful and high achieving performers in all genres of life; know this; you excel when you live in balance and self-care and the nourishment that comes with the actions of self-love. You can be performing at a high level, but still live in balance; because of care, of attending to what the body and mind and the nonphysical spirit need in order to be in harmony; and to be one.
I’ve developed an entire program – a wisdom toolkit – consisting of the best self-care practices and a self care assessment that delivers the goods on what areas of your life are in need of care and nourishment right now. It is an extensive source of guiding wisdom for you to learn and practice self-care and self-love as an essential part of life. I will leave information on this for you right here: The Self-Love WISDOM toolkit
In a time when we are being asked and indeed forced to spend more time with our self and without many of the typical distractions that cause us to disconnect, self-care is overlooked. It has not been deemed important or truly necessary – perhaps until now.
A-HA MOMENTS: Your most important relationship has always been with yourself. Discover this – honour this, learn this and you will awaken a most incredible source of wonder and inner light that you have ever known.
Here, I invite you to get started. Use this beautiful guided meditation.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Here, you experience not only the single most powerful tool to help nourish you and to support your body’s infinite capacity for self healing and homeostatic balance, but you are guided into a journey in which to heal right now for whatever your body has needed; for whatever you have been neglecting, for what you need now.
Give yourself this time – this 30min – to witness the power of self-care through visualization, inner contemplation, and acts of self kindness and love. I will be right here with you every step of the way. Give this to yourself.
Sending you all of my love... Namaste! xo

The Experience of JOY
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 21
with Dorothy Ratusny
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-1:31 | JOY defined... 1:34 | Remember What Life Is Truly About: 2:02 | What Joy IS: 3:49 | My Hope As You Listen... 3:40 | Your Childlike Wonder: 5:40 | Connect With Your Inner Child As A Direct Path to Joy: 6:12 | How To Live Each Day In JOY: 9:54 | In Your Life Right Now, You Will Need... 11:33 | Helpful Links and Resources to Open Your Heart to JOY: 13:12 | Podcast Outro: 14:14
"Joy is a privilege that you nestle your heart into; that you live as the sweet wonder of life ever present, ever flowing. It is what you seek to live as; it is the wonder of your presence, your enjoyment, your glory, your love." - Dorothy Ratusny
Perhaps it was the latent effects of summer as I was scripting this episode that reminded of the playful nature of our lives that is always within our reach. In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I invite you to revisit what simple pleasures you may curate in life's daily experiences that will allow you to witness joy; to revel in its beautiful presence; calling you by name; ushering in the gentle reminder that love and joy are your eternal birthright.
Here we dive into just how joy may be witnessed in far more moments of your life; how you may easily go in search of it to fill you with wonder and appreciation, and to remind you of the importance of joy experienced often.
"Your life is meant to be joy. There is joy in appreciation so that even when things happen; as life preambles death; you can still witness the experience of joy deep within your heart. Joy is what you are each time you live out of your heart; each time you allow your heart to guide your choices and decisions." - Dorothy Ratusny
In this episode, I'd like to remind you of how simple it is to witness joy; to be joyful, to change your state of being so that you can witness life through the eyes of your childlike wonder; reminding you of what simple measures it is to witness and curate moments of joy in your life, and in the lives of others.
I'm going to leave some helpful links here to help you practice living "in joy" and to feel your heart open to receive joy. And of course, joy is always so easily found in the yearnings of your inner child; what your inner child - perhaps also your adult self, yearns for. Follow this and it will lead you into joy.
If you would like more help with this; with the witnessing of your heart open to joy; please reach out to me. I am always here to help. Namaste!

People inspire me with their incredible and yet simple acts of kindness; their willingness to live of the present moment, their courage, and what they have chosen to overcome; how they have resilience in their capacity to heal what has happened, and for being undefeated in their need for change; to evolve, to grow, to become more."

How can your life become an inspiration for yourself, and for others?
In this episode we dive into all that is most important for you to live as an inspiration; in your life, for yourself and for others. This is not difficult; rather it is what aspires you to pull out the stops; to no longer wait; to be now what inspires you most.

The Miracle of INSPIRATION + A Guided Meditation
Season 2 Episode 19 of The WISDOM podcast
with Dorothy Ratusny
timestamps:
Podcast Intro 0-2:10 | What is Inspiration? How do we witness it? 2:11 | What if life could be a playground of innate wonder? 3:09 | Guided Meditation of Inspiration 5:32 | Podcast Outro 32:25 |
Inspiration is what you feel through your senses; through taking in the beauty of life that you are willing to notice; and by allowing your heart open in delight, in wonder, in the deliberate choosing of your soul to be stirred; to cultivate presence, and to flow with the deliberate joy that you are witness to.
In this meditation on inspiration; the sixth and final of this Meditation Series here on The WISDOM podcast, we delve into one of the most pleasant human experiences. Together with the previous week's episodes of hope, forgiveness, compassion, self-love, and peace, inspiration illuminates the path for living from you heart; from living fluid; mind and heart aligned toward the sacred action that will manifest into form; birthing inspired thought paradigms into what creative pursuits become the beauty and inspirations of your life.
I invite you to join me for the next several moments as we settle in and as you allow your heart to live 'wide open' to the miracle of inspiration as I guide you through an experience of awakened light and conscious thought - inspired by the willingness of your soul in constant communication with you.

Forgiveness IS a Conscious Choice
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 17
with Dorothy Ratusny
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-1:33 | An Introduction to this Episode: Part Four in a Series of Six of Beautiful Guided Meditations: 1:14 | How Forgiveness Liberates You: 4:26 | A Prose Meditation on Forgiveness: 6:08 | Podcast Outro: 28:07
In this part four of a six-part series of beautiful guided meditations, we journey into forgiveness; we allow it to be a conscious and deliberate choice that frees us from suffering.
Forgiveness ignites the heart to heal the body because when we forgive our self and others, we clear our need for incessant thought, thought that is mired in angst; thought that holds contempt, induces sadness and despair; thought that invokes a nervous response and the bearing of inner turmoil that immobilizes our ability to function.
Forgiveness is freeing. Be clear; it is not about agreement but rather acceptance. We will be in agreement with some of our past actions or the words and actions of others, but you can acknowledge that you are not choosing to repeat this.
Acceptance allows you to find your way into change; into surrender for what you may not change, but to acknowledge that what you choose in this moment is different.
We need forgiveness to thrive; to allow old habits, mistakes, even intentional wrong doings a place to die; to be released from our ether.
Forgiveness reminds us of our ability to shed the past, not carry it; to no longer judge another or ourselves on who we were yesterday, last month or 17 years earlier. Yes, some people do repeat the same behaviours and continue to hold the same limiting beliefs, but you have a choice.
We all can choose to acknowledge what is needed; to change for the better, to be what we are all capable of; that is kindness, love, compassion, goodness and each moment of our lives we are always choosing.
My suggestion is that you choose deliberately not out of habit or as a function of going through the motions, but because you know the power of your free will choice - and you have already decided that you desire to be free; you deserve what it means to hold forgiveness in your heart for yourself; for whatever wrong doings have caused another to feel less than, diminished in importance; hurt by your actions or judgment.
You have the ability to forgive, you need to choose this first. To forgive another or yourself is to liberate you from the pain and damage of what is already past, over, complete.
Now in the present moment you will decide whether you wish to continue to bear this emotional, physical, psychological and even spiritual suffering, or if you will decide that you want to instead feel peace.
Please join me for this very special episode on forgiveness, and for the Guided Meditation that will heal your heart.

Compassion IS LOVE
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 16
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-2:08 | An Introduction to this Episode: Part Three in a Series of Six of Beautiful Guided Meditations: 2:14 | An Introduction to Compassion: 3:13 | Kindness and Love is so Powerful: 4:09 | When You Offer Yourself Compassion... 4:28 | There are Many Reasons to Practice Compassion: 5:23 | A Prose Meditation on Compassion 9:56 | Podcast Outro: 35:56
In this part three of a six-part series of beautiful guided meditations, I invite you to open your heart and your mind; to witness yourself and the world in ways that remind you of how kind and peaceful your presence can be; how soothing and comforting your actions are for yourself and others, when you choose to walk in your life with greater presence of what it means to hold compassion; to be compassionate towards yourself and all others, for this is how you are 'love in action'.
Special for this series, I have written a new meditation on the practice of compassion; and of how you may instinctively be of compassion to yourself and others.
There is no greater offering when someone is less fortunate or suffering than to be compassionate; to feel for them and their situation because this is how you offer care and kindness.
Compassion is love. It is in being compassionate that others are able to feel your genuine concern for their well being; and to hold even for a few moments, the space and the opportunity for them to know that they are not alone.
Your kindness and love is so powerful. It is this sacred action of compassion that allows others to rise up, to be heard, to heal, to take the right action for themselves.
When you offer yourself compassion, you breathe in giving yourself patience to recognize where you are in your life; and you choose to offer unto yourself this gift of kind reverence; of patience and comfort, of understanding, of reassurance that you are not alone; that you will feel better; that kindness directed within is how you help move yourself into a state of peace, responsibility to what is needed and comfort in the knowing of your presence.

This IS a Self-Love Movement
Season 2 Episode 15 of The WISDOM podcast
In this episode, I've been inspired to share what I am naming The Self-Love Movement; because we all need to reclaim self-love; we need to understand what it means and we need to live it - as one solution for growing our confidence and self-worth and for being willing to live self-sustainably and of our ‘truth’; and in the present moment because this is how we witness our innate happiness.
Here’s an important secret: All of us face the same challenges. You might suspect that our common challenge is related to finances, or whether we are loved; or if we have the right job, or if we have chosen the best partner?
These are also challenges of the physical world that we may have made our reality.
Here’s the thing: Innate happiness is not attached to any ‘thing’. Rather it’s what you feel as you live of the present moment + this feeling is perpetuated as you make a commitment to yourself to live with your heart open, free in giving of your kindness and love to others and to yourself.
Happiness is not attached to a thing, or a person, or to you bank account; to what you own, to what you child says or does; its about acknowledging who you are; and living and loving the being that you are.
This is why we choose to do the work – the inner work – of our self. It’s to free us from harboring pain and hurt of the past; to make peace with what is; to practice acceptance of what has already happened, and to decide how we will choose to be now and in our future.
If you want to put yourself in a state of happiness, of peace, of joy; if you want to eliminate anxiety, fear, self-doubt – to feel truly alive and to honor your choices and decisions; if you really want to live "heaven on earth"; you must begin here; with what you tell yourself each day and also to make the conscious choice to be happy; among the obligations, the decision-making, of what you may have less control over, and to wake each day deciding to be grateful, to feel happy, practicing living present moment awareness and awake to all of the experiences of your life and of knowing what will allow you to be in a state of self-love – for example opening your heart by choice. Because being love is also a choice.
As you choose to live in a state of love, gratitude, and happiness; it becomes a natural outpouring of this state to be loving and kind; directed towards yourself.
You may think about self-love as taking care of your needs, of honoring and respecting yourself; of practicing loving-kindness directed within and using encouraging self-talk; but when you live in a state of love; your consciousness rises; you live in an enlightened state.
The state of love allows for you to instantly experience the feelings and the mindset of pure presence; of consciousness. It is an example of being fully in the now.
This state is what best supports you to freely feel innate happiness. This inspires every other decision and action that you make; all towards living with your heart open and of love.
Join me in this episode as I walk you through a beautiful experience of accessing this state of awareness; a state of love that will empower you to live true to yourself, and mobilize you to have the best outcomes because you are in the right mindset; you are happy, peaceful, content and grateful. This is a practice of being loving, directed towards yourself. Namaste!! xo

Peace Unto Me: A Guided Prose Meditation
Season 2 Episode 14 of The WISDOM podcast
Sometimes the feeling of compassion can cause you to well up with emotion to feel incredible sadness and sorrow; but it is in those moments that you also fill your heart with infinite love for another or for a situation.
Please don't shy away from evoking compassion. We all need to feel one another's compassion.
For the next six weeks, join me in a series of guided meditations that will guide you into yourself; into peace, self-love, compassion, forgiveness, hope and inspiration.
You will need each of these as you hold presence unto yourself in this brave new world and as you call upon a gentle witnessing of your heart - here in the moments now that will determine for you a most blissful and certain life.
I invite you to close your eyes with me for a short time and take in this experience; each meditation is delivered in a 'prose' format which makes it simple to take in my words; you don't need to have any experience in meditation to feel the effects of this practice. Simply allow the words you hear to find their way into your heart.
Let them fill you with love and support.
Join me for this first prose meditation: 'PEACE UNTO ME'.
I will leave a link for you here, to where you can experience this meditation unto itself.
If I can be of any help to you on your personal journey, please reach out to me.
