TAO-Living with Lou Corleto

For those living in the United States: Happy Fourth of July - Happy Independence Day!  And for everybody, I wish you a Happy In-Depend-Dance! Why do we celebrate independence? Well, we're celebrating freedom from oppression, freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. Yet if this is applied to YOU, what I'm asking you is this: how free are you?  And I'm not talking about freedom from external...

A few years back, I was in Brazil completing one of our humanitarian mission trips. It was an intense week, so I went to walk on the beach to just decompress and be in nature, by the ocean.  It was early morning before many people were on the beach, and all of the sudden these huge birds came and landed close by, and I was just watching the birds do their thing.  A local went by and I asked him, "...

  Today's episode is all about attachments - becoming aware of them and discovering ways to let go and move forward. "The root of suffering is attachment." ~ The Buddha What does that mean and how do we transform our attachments to persons, places, and things? In this episode, we explore: How our attachments actually imprison us The reality of impermanence and how to interact with temporary situat...

A little over a week ago, we finished one of our high end events, The Art of Living Experience.  And as we were walking with the group through the woods, we were looking at some of the 90-100 foot trees. There were a couple trees that were dying - these huge strong trees. What was killing them were vines. Compared to the size of the tree, the vines were pretty small… But it was insidious. Over tim...

Today I'm coming to you from our retreat property. I'm doing some decompression post-retreat, debriefing The Art of Living event, and enjoying some mate tea in the process.  I wanted to share with you a section that we did a deep dive in, during the retreat. It's related to how you show up in the world, and how you can make life easier for you. Are you the thermometer or the thermostat in your lif...

Before we dive into today's topic, I'm going to start with a warning. If you're not willing to take responsibility for your life, your health or your well being, don't listen to this episode. I'm going to unpack some stuff that requires you to do just that. So if you are still living in victim consciousness, where your life is not your responsibility, this episode is not for you. So that being sai...

I'm thrilled to share the wisdom of Dr. Brian Lumb, D.C. with you today. We go way back (almost 3 decades!) and share the same intention in this world - to help souls heal, thrive, and shine in who they are. Today we're talking about "Genius Frequency" which is Brian's methodology for awakening consciousness. Good stuff! Dr. Brian Lumb is a pioneer in embodiment technologies and a maverick lover o...

Today I'm going to unpack a really beautiful concept that I just love. It's called Escape Velocity. In celestial mechanics, "escape velocity" is the minimum speed required for a free non-propelled body to escape the influence of a primary body's gravitational pull - to be able to generate infinite distance from it. Think of a rocket taking off. If it doesn't have enough escape velocity when it tak...

Today, I'm going to share a metaphor for healing with you: Skydiving. You may or may not know about my passionate obsession for this beautiful sport called skydiving, or how I'm an instructor and facilitator of skydives. Most people are introduced to skydiving through what's called "the tandem." They show up to the drop zone, the place where you skydive, and they watch a safety video.  Then they'r...

Today I am so eternally grateful for my guest to be present. This man has influenced my life in such profound ways and millions of lives on this planet for over the last 50 years.  It's funny to even say "50 years" because that doesn't seem possible. But he's been serving at a high level for five decades - high level: globally, galactically, actually, because it's way past the confines of this ear...

This episode was inspired by a friend's recent post. Yesterday he tagged me in his post on social media, and it brought up so much for me that I'm going to unpack this idea right now. So, a couple years ago, I was blessed to fulfill one of my dreams, which was to go to Egypt and experience the last standing ancient wonders of the world - The Great Pyramids.  And I did! Not only did I see them, I a...

Today's episode will be an introduction to Conscious Languaging. What is it and what value Conscious Languaging can bring into your life. In James Allen's classic book, As A Man Thinketh, he starts the book off with this beautiful piece: "Mind is the Master power that molds and makes, And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills, Brings forth a thousand jo...

We can learn a lot from faith traditions, traditional cultures, nature, and the cycles of seasons as we do a life clean-up. In this episode, we discuss: What can be done to spring clean the body, mind, and spirit The principles behind renewal and...

Let's talk about familiarity - the dark side of familiarity. You've heard of the phrase "Familiarity breeds contempt," right? What is familiarity and what is this phenomenon of cultivating contempt? So, familiarity is the close association with someone or something. If we are too close to someone or something, for too long, we tend to lose respect for that person or thing. It can be difficult to t...

Before I started my journey into the world of health and healing, if somebody said to me,  "Hey, there's a class on breathing," I'd be like, "And why would I go to that? Watch? I'm breathing like, why would I need to do that?".  It's true that as long as we have a lifeforce running through the body, breath is happening. It's an involuntary process. But biological breathing is not the same as consc...

This episode was inspired by reading  Influence, The Psychology of Persuasion by Professor Robert Cialdini, who says certain triggers can influence human decisions almost automatically.  Trusting in authority is beneficial on many fronts. Too much blind trust, however, and we get a dictatorship. Not enough we end up with anarchy. Today, I'm referring to mindless obedience to authority. Automatic o...

My guest for today was a career Army officer, a devoted husband and father, who spent 45 years serving his country and the elite units like the Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, the 25th injury division in Hawaii, with more than two dozen deployments to places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Kosovo, the Philippines and Haiti. He witnessed the effects of extreme human suffering around...

Have you heard the adage, "If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes a truth"? That was expressed by Joseph Goebbels, the architect behind Nazi regime propaganda… Is that still playing out in today's world? Is this affecting you personally? I say, yes it is. In 1971, President Nixon created the "War on Drugs". It was actually a war on psychedelics. Because, at that time, there was high level rese...

Our wounds often come from genetically inherited traumas — multi-generational assaults — that store unresolved pain and result in repeated experiences which obscure the subtle, permanently available experience of our True Nature, Love. Blocks to the awareness of our Selves as Love are NEVER imposed from the outside, it is always an inside job. Work to be done... Inside and Out! Perception autobiog...

The idea of a 'genius' originated in ancient Rome. The Romans believed that all people had a guiding spirit that attended them throughout their lives. Because this spirit was born with the person it was called a 'genius' (from the Latin verb gignere meaning 'to give birth or bring forth' Lyn Lasneski is the As CEO and "fly-by-seat-of-your-pants" genius at Your Creative Genius, Lyn inspires and co-...
