Your past is your compass

Our parents, family life, experience, stories we tell ourselves, friends, work…all have an impact on how we move forward.

Have you found yourself saying, “I like to do it this way because my [mom, brother, grandfather, friend] did it this way.” But, when you look at the pattern, even you recognize it no longer serves a purpose, or it is keeping you stuck. We know what we know and we act based on what we know.

We can change our past!

What? You can re-write history? Absolutely. We can reach into our old stories and ideas, and we can release them from our memory in a way that doesn’t erase the power of the experience, but the emotional hold it has over us. We can let go of why we need the story, and we can inspire new ideas and awareness about the story. Perspective can be so powerful, and it is not with our conscious side of the brain, but rather, our unconscious side – the side that registers and holds our patterns.

Why Should We Release our Mindset?

We can continue down the path of I remember when, I already know how to do it, or I have it all figured out. It can get us to a finish line, but will it make us happy? Will it help us to thrive? Will it inspire us to grow and learn with new ideas and opportunities? What is the quality we want to move forward?

Billie Aadmi, of Go Mindspire Inc. shares her skillset and personal experience with us. She reveals some of her personal accolades that helped her to be released from her past so that she could set a new pathway for herself and her children.

Billie has a special offer of a FREE e-book called “Resiliency is My Middle Name” which you can find on her website. She also has special workshops and trainings coming up that can help you release the old stories and create a new narractive for living vibrantly.

Exploring the Depth of Grief

An artist who moves people with their craft is such an inspiring and gifted way to live.  How has Ainsley developed the depth to her music and to her way of living?  Today we are going to be talking about the time Ainsley spent with her grandmother and the role that her family has had in her choices and way of living.  As we talk about grief, and the process of moving through it, we expand to the connection of life that is created by our ability to love and to let go of our loved ones. 

As you listen today, please be gentle with yourself, and consider the gifts of knowing and growing that our loved ones offer with their connection.

Have you got your cup of tea ready?

At the Cape Breton Tea Company our tea is created to provide transitional moments for people as they sip the tea.  Grief can be supported by such herbs as lavender, chamomile, rose, valerian, lemon balm, motherwort, hawthorn.  Our intention is important to how we want to transition ourselves into growth and inspiration because of our ability to love and be loved.

We chose our blend, from the Harmony Blends collection, Island VitaliTEA – “Be inspired by the power of nature that surrounds you, rest and release into healing.”  This blend includes Green Tea, Echinacea, Apple, Strawberry, Blackberry and Holy Basil leaves, Rosehip, Hibiscus, Blue Pea Flower, Blue Cornflower petals, Chamomile, Hawthorn Fruit, Cranberry pieces, Honeybush, Rose and Safflower petals, Vanilla pieces and Natural Flavours. In this episode we highlight the essence of Chamomile, which supports the balance of Yin and Yang and is a lift for the heart chakra.  “I release all fears and help others in need.”  

Set your intention for this discussion

As we were thinking about this conversation, we were inspired by the idea that the grief of our experience with love moves us, and how do we move forward. We move forward by looking to help others as we work with our own grief.

Each episode of the Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell podcast includes the BioEnergetic Wellness Formula.  That means that you have the opportunity to have a healing session while you listen based on the way the content is laid out and the activities we participate in.  Before listening you can create a goal or an intention of where you would like to be heading with an activity or in your life, then make your cup of tea, engage in the activities and celebrate at the end.
