Creating and Maintaining Open, Authentic Connection

Soul Talk is something that all of us really cherish, especially when we can share it with other like-minded Spiritual Beings.

Here you are, on your Spiritual Journey, seeking truth, justice, and a Better Way. And it can seem lonely sometimes, especially if you don’t have family or friends nearby with whom you can share your A-Has and your Awakenings.

If you don’t have a strong support structure in your life, your ego-mind may just retake those reigns, re-gag you, convince you all over again that this Spiritual Stuff is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, and then slam you back into the cell you’ve gone to such lengths to get free from!

Well, no-one wants that!

While you have to deal with your own inner work inside of yourself—meaning no-one else can do this work for you—there are a growing number of people on the planet who are ready, willing, and able to help. And this is where Soul Talk comes in.

The fact that Tommy & David do these weekly shows called Life Mastery TV means much more than delivering great messages and helpful hints. The underlying power and unspoken message is that other people are actually talking openly and out loud about things so deep and personal. And just the fact that there is an internationally broadcast webinar talking about matters of the Spirit is enough to keep some people from falling back into the dungeon.

As we all discover—in our own way and at our own pace—getting better requires looking inward, or as the Soul Talk Guys explained way back in Episode 8, In Is the Only Way Out. But what may not be so obvious is that looking inward naturally leads to Spiritual Awakening. And in addition to that, Spiritual Awakening naturally brings about connections with others who are going through the same process.

In this episode, the Soul Talk Guys are joined by Suzie Daggett, an intuitive business and life coach who lives her life according to Soul Talk principles. Join the crew as they share some deep insights about Soul Talk:

• What it is and why it is so important as part of your Spiritual Journey.
• How to reach out and find the “right” people to connect to.
• How to establish authentic connections with other Consciously Awake and Aware humans.

Think of it as Open-Heart Synergy with fellow Open-Hearters… Because, after all, at Life Mastery TV, that’s exactly what we do, isn’t it?

Communication is probably the single most important element of any relationship.

In fact, barring some kind of catastrophe, if you ever have a problem of any kind in any of your relationships, it can almost always be traced back to a difficulty in communication. And more often than not, the difficulty in communication comes about because the ego-mind is attached to being in control or to being right. That’s right! That pesky ego-mind is often the culprit whenever communication goes wrong!

Interestingly, if you can get out of your head and into your heart, you can create an almost immediate improvement in your communication—and consequently, a commensurate improvement in your relationships. Of course, it helps if your relationship partner can get out of his/her head at the same time, but even if only one of the relationship parties can do this in any given moment, it is a very powerful step in the right direction.

In this episode, Tommy & David welcome relationship expert and certified life coach Christian Pedersen to share some of the things he has learned about creating powerful and fulfilling relationships.

Christian and his wife Sonika produce and lead mind-altering trainings like Give Yourself to Love and The Masculine-Feminine Energy Dance that are designed to help people create and experience amazing, life-affirming, mutually supportive relationships. And these relationships are built on a solid foundation of unconditional love and open-hearted communication. You can find out more about Christian's work at his website: LoveWorksForYou.com.

What takes dedication and commitment to build, and a mere lapse of judgment to damage or destroy? Answer: one of our most valued virtues—Trust.

Trust is one of those things that we tend to take for granted most of the time. In fact, trust is widely appreciated as one of the most precious gifts you can give to anyone. Or receive, for that matter. When someone trusts you, in a way, they’re saying to you “I see you as someone who can hold my heart gently, lovingly and compassionately. Thank you!”

According to Ernest Hemingway, “The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

When it comes to beginning a relationship, Hemingway’s statement seems obvious—you have to start by trusting the other person. But what happens when the other person does something that violates that trust? What then?

In this episode, David & Tommy are joined by a special guest, Beata Lewis, who is an executive coach specializing in this very issue. As a mediator and former attorney, Beata knows the vital and dynamic nature of agreements, ethics, conflict and trust for true partnering, and she is going to share some of her wisdom on this week’s show.

We talk about all things related to trust. In the video, you’ll learn about:

• how to establish trust in almost any relationship;
• how to maintain your own integrity so that you respect the trust you have with others;
• what to do if trust gets violated on either side of the relationship.

Look, we all make mistakes. We all violate the trust of others. And, if you have any sense of integrity at all, then when this happens, you probably feel sadness or anger or shame because of what you have done. Yes, this is true, but beating yourself up for it is the absolute LAST thing you should do! Because, believe it or not:

• there are plenty of ways for repairing the damage;
• there are plenty of ways of getting back into integrity;
• there are plenty of ways of healing your relationship and rebuilding that trust.

And that is just what David, Tommy and Beata share with you in this episode. So, check out the video and please leave a comment. And if you’d to find out more about Beata Lewis, please check out her website at Bridging Lives.

The post LMTV #37: A Question of Trust appeared first on Life Mastery TV (Archive) - All LMTV episodes prior to 2018.

Can we be “too nice”? What does it cost us? And how do we get back into balance with who we are?

It seems that we are taught from a very young age to always “be nice”. And of course, being kind and compassionate to everyone is a beautiful and loving sentiment.

Well, perhaps…Unless we take it too far.

But what is “too far”? Is there such a thing as being “too nice”? Does “kill-em-with-kindness” do more harm than good?

These are great questions, and they are the topic of this week’s discussion. Just to whet your appetite, here are a few examples of what can happen if you take the idea of being nice too far:

• you consistently give in to the demands of others, and in the process sacrifice your own wants and needs;
• you make sure that your partner or parents or children or friends have everything they seem to need before you even consider taking something for yourself;
• you have a belief (probably unconscious) that if you do anything for yourself then you are being self-centered and irresponsible;
• you come to believe that if you are not nice, then you are mean;
• you become resentful of other people who seem capable of asserting themselves.

Wow! This is a lot of stuff to bear in the name of being nice, don’t you think? But what is really amazing is that none of this is necessary!

We are not advocating that you stop being nice. What we are doing is bringing the ego-mind ob session with niceness into awareness so that you can begin toning it down, finding a balance, and making sure you include YOURSELF in the list of people you are nice to. They are advocating a balance of “niceness” with “realness”—that is, moving steadily toward an authentic and compassionate expression of who you really are.

Hallowe’en. The season of masks and costumes. But how many masks do we wear day-by-day? This week, let’s talk about “unmasking”!

Originally, it is believed, Hallowe’en was a time of celebrating the dead. Today, however, this celebration doesn’t seem to have much meaning at all, and appears to be simply an opportunity to dress up and have some “dark” fun. It is a time when people of all ages put on costumes and masks and pretend to be something they are not.

If you think about it for a moment, many of us spend a lot of our “real” time pretending to be something we are not. We put on false airs to appear more confident than we really are. We use humor as a way of dealing with uncomfortable situations, or for getting people to like us. Some of us have the belief that if we dare to reveal who we really are, we will be ridiculed, spurned, shunned…or worse. And so we put up our shields and don our masks in an effort to hide those parts of ourselves.

And what pain do we cause ourselves in the process? What suffering do we cause our loved ones? What strife do we create in the world?

This week, we welcome a wonderful guest, Junie Moon Schreiber, a specialist on the subject of Shadow, to share her wisdom and help us all to UNMASK! In this episode, we discuss what it means to show up in the world as a genuine, authentic being—unhindered by the false representations that we want people to see.

While this may be a challenging and deep topic (as topics usually are on Life Mastery TV), we are committed to making this light and fun. But you only get to see us with our masks off if you take a risk to share space with us!

Watch the video, leave a comment, and please remember to visit Junie’s website at Soulful Expressions.
