spiritual principles made practical's podcast

The world reflects my consciousness and beliefs back to me.  If I believe people are kind, than that's my experience.  That belief begins with me believing I am kind and is then that is automatically projected into the world I perceive.  If I believe I am succeeding in making win win work in my life, I'll see the projection of that in the world I perceive.  To the extent I don't see win win being...

As I grow in my acceprtance of my strength and wisdom, my body needs to keep pace to allow that energy to flow freely through my body.  Blockages to that flow show up as pain.   I've meditatred on how to releive that pain and have my body more aligned with my insights and growing self acceptance/realization.  So far my inspiration has been to swim gently and focus on my breathing. I've written 13...

The essence of all healing is acceptance. We each have our unique way of healing through acceptance.  In this podcast I share what works for me.  Be open to inspiration that has you relating to how acceptance works to heal in your life.  As always, the essence is the same, the expression is unique. From one perspective, we are all on this planet to help each other.  It helps me and you to be more...

I know and trust that the solution to every problem is to be more honest with myself.   As we grow, we uncover deeper and deeper impediments to more fully accepting our power, wisdom, love, joy, peace, well being and overall conscious effectivness on every level.   I've encountered a thought that's been with me as long as I can remember.  That thought is "I'll never be free of suffering and free t...

We all have negative thoughts that we've had for so long we don't notice them.  By slowing down more and paying enhanced attention we can bring these negative thoughts into conscious awareness.  Once we're aware of them, we can reduce their impact in our life by accepting their existence.  As we accept the existence of these negative thoughts, eventually positive and more accurate thoughts take th...

By being more aware of the level of pain in our life, we can take corrective action before it gets worse.  We create suffering through our thoughts.  By being conscious of the thoughts that are creating suffering, accepting their existence, we make room for more accurate and uplifting thoughts to arise in our mind.  The more we train ourself to be aware in this way, the less pain and suffering we...

It's important and uplifting to encourage ourself and others.  One great way to do that is to acknowledge and appreciate what's working.  I had the opportunity to encourage a friend yesterday and I found it tremendously uplifting.   Encouraging ourself and others strengthens our belief in ourself and others.  That's so important I choose to write a book entitled, "Believing in ourself, the master...

We create challenges in our life that require us to accept and use our inherent talents and abilities. I believe I have the ability to effectively communicate that we are ONE on a global level.  To accomplish that goal, I need to relate more fully to the fact that I am ONE with all that exists.  Everything I perceive is a part of me; every person, every thought, every piece of furniture, everythin...

Relating to and believing in our ability to meet the challenges in our life is the true source of our security.   Too many people are frustrated because they think having more money will create security, and it never does.  Money is good and valuable, and it won't buy security just like it won't buy love.   The way to build our self confidence in our capacity to meet the challenges of life is to a...

For those of us who believe the present moment is the only moment that will ever exist, it follows that the means is the end because the means occurs in the present moment; the only time that exists. For those who relate more to time, what we focus on grows in our experience.  If we focus on delayed gratification, we learn to delay gratification.  That doesn't mean we choose to act on self destruc...

I've recorded this podcast to reinforce my acceptance that time spent in meditation is time well spent.  In recording this podcastg I am reminded that listening deeply in meditation results in me being more inspired and effective in the physical and spiritual worlds.  I become aware of physical behaviors that create greater alignment with my devine essence.  I find myself believing in myself more....

Every action we take or action we choose not to take is motivated by our desire to experience our devine qualities of peace, security, joy, love, happiness. wisdom, compassion and other uplifting emotions.  Understanding this helps us understand ourself and others more completely.  It helps us experience a deeper connection and acceptance of our self and others.   I love to do coaching because I f...

We are unlimited energy.  The more conscious we are of our energy level, the more we can consciously direct our energy.  Much of our energy is cancelled out due to interal conflict.  When we're aware of the fact that when we're not experiencing a consciously  high energy level, we're engaged in unresolved conflict.  At that point we can listen to our toughts and uncover that conflict.  The more we...

Hanging onto anger stops progress.  Denying anger stops progress.  As always, acceptance is the way forward.  In the case of anger, it means accepting that I am angry and allowing that anger to exist without acting on it.  If I'd acted on my angry thoughts I'd be either dead or in prison. What works best for me is to allow myself to experience the anger and the thoughts that are creating the anger...

Many if not all of us are self critical in response to not using all of our potential.  Tearing ourself down because we have unutilized potential is counter productive.  The way out of this mess is to accept the negative thoughts such as "I'm not living up to my potential", "I'm failing in life", "I'm wasting my life", "I should be doing so much better", "I don't know what to do tap more of my pot...

Anything we focus on grows in our world.  If we focus on the value we contribute and it's reflection back to us, that grows.   Here are some examples of my worth and value being reflected back to me.  Recently I've been contacted by several long term mortgage clients to help them secure new loans on their homes.  I've been asked to lead an online seminar on identifying and traveling our unique lif...

Acceptance is healing.  Acceptance helps us consciously accept the power we have in creating out life, the power we have to uplift ourself and others, the processes by which we create and heal impediments to our freedom. I offer a free 30 minute introductory coaching session in which you can increase your awareness of your thinking and the freedom and impact of choosing consciously which thoughts...

We can become enlightened in any instant we choose.  Most of us choose to go slowly through the enlightenment process, the process of accepting and relating to the fact that we are ONE with GOD which is all that exists.  We go slowly so we can appreciate through comparison our devine power and existence.   When we're in the enlightened state, there is no thought, no comparison, nothing but who we...

When I focus on accepting and being aware of the thoughts in my mind, the thoughts subside.  The space between the thoughts grows.  In that space there is infinite peace; the experience of being ONE with all that exists, GOD.  That experience of infinite peace is always available to each of us.  Just knowing that raises my spirits. I record these podcasts to increase my focus and acceptance on wha...

We are ONE with all that exists.  To be fully at peace we need to accept and relate to what is true.  Accepting we are ONE with all that exists is part of the truth we need to accept.  We can make progress in that acceptance by working on win win solutions, being more empathetic, being more conscious of the thoughts in our mind and the choice we have to act on those thoughts or not.  There are a g...

We can enjoy spiritual growth by acting on thoughts that have joy as part of them.  In my meditation I've found that joy is the devine quality that I can most practically focus on use to facilitate my spiritual growth.  For some it's love.  Others, peace.  Any of what I call the devine qualities will work including but not limited to a profound sense of well being, compassion, empathy and the list...

I believe the claustrophobia I've been experiencing in my dreams is the result of me holding back the expression of who I am and what I know.  My whole life I've felt it hasn't been safe to be me.  I've been afraid if I expressed who I truly I am, I would be attacked, ostracized, alone and rejected.  My experience is largely the opposite, and yet the fear persists. In order to have any life at all...

In the process of accepting we are ONE with all that exists, we come to find out part of what exists that is part of us is the energy and power to create all that exists.  That includes everything; our phones, relationships, planets, dimensions and everything else, from the largest to the smallest and everything inbetween.   The more accepting we are of ourself, the more we become consciously awar...

Using power is to be guided as all behavior is to be guided; is it in everyone's best interest.  Once that question is answered honestly and confidently, the course of action becomes clear.  To get to that level of honesty and clarity can take some introspection to be confident of what we know and trust to be true.  The time to do that introspection is time well spent. I offer 30 minutes of free t...

The more conscious I am of the level of freedom I feel in expressing myself, the more free I find myself.  Being less self conscious is another indicator of spiritual growth for me.   I offer a free 30 minute coaching session in which you become more aware of your thoughts and the power you have in choosing which thoughts to act on.  To avail yourself of this opportunity, contact me at scottfriedm...
