The New Design for Living

There's not an area in our lives and our society that is not under the microscope of change. Nothing is in more drastic need of a revolutionary remaking than our national politics. Alaska's legendary broadcaster and longtime news guy, Steve Heimel calls in for a history lesson!

The New Design for Living has at its core the principle of oneness, unlike the old design model that is build out of separation and duality. However, in the new way we believe in the scientifically proven interconnectedness of all life. This one change is a massive one and alters everything! When you realize you're one with Nature, you have more reference and respect for Mother Earth and your role...

"You complete me."  "I don't think so!"   In this episode, I talk about one of my most favorite new design models and that's love. This includes self-love, love for others and romantic love. In the old design model, we look for something outside of ourselves to complete us because we're living in separation. However in the new way, we come to our relationships already whole and therefore seek to b...

We continue our conversation about the importance of having a healthy relationship to change and the human experiences associated with it. Change is the foundational element of The New Design for Living where you are The Architect of your life. We all have some stuck energy around change and this episode offers a crash course in this important topic so you can move more freely in these times of un...

In order to reimagine your life, you have to have a healthy relationship to change. In episode two, I talk about the elements of change: chaos, confusion and uncertainty and how to see these natural moments from a fresh perspective.  Such a willingness dissolves resistance and empowers you in new ways. 

Inauguration: the beginning or introduction of a system; a ceremony to mark the beginning of something.  On this day, January 20th the inauguration of The New Design for Living Show is here! Come join me and let's create something beautiful together!  On this first episode, I talk about what The New Design for Living is all about and what it means to each one of us as we use radical imagination to...

The eighteen findings that this experiment yielded represent some of the most insightful, educational and life changing information I've ever received and realized. Without a doubt, they summarize this journey from my head to my heart and beyond. So applicable to life right now as we know it, I started this podcast with this findings. Those "episodes" are different from this audiobook version beca...

As I entered the last ten days of my experiment, I was clearly changed by my experience. Meditation allowed me to distance myself from myself to such a degree that I became the observer of everything I am, everything I think and the patterns of behavior I was trapped in. I was learning about self-love, something my upbringing deemed as selfish. Now I saw it as selfless. I transcended my roles of d...

There's no doubt about it. My weekend retreat with Michael Beckwith propelled my transformation. As if meditating for one hour a day wasn't enough, I head off into the California desert for two full days of silence. Life changing. As we continue through my 100 days of meditation, there is a noticeable difference in my experience while meditating and you hear it in my sharing. Day 60 starts off wit...

Here we are at the half way point of my 100 day meditaiton experiment and you can definitely notice how my sharing is starting to shift. The deep space and place to which meditating for an hour every day has brought me is starting to change me. It's certainly changing what I'm talking about as the insights filling my awareness are taking on a higher realm of perspective. In these next 14 days, I a...

As I approached the mid-way point of my 100 day experiment, you can begin to hear how my daily sharing is changing. As meditating for an hour everyday brings me deeper into myself, more and more is being revealed and experienced. Thus is the process of a daily meditation practice. In time, you begin to detach from experiencing yourself as your thoughts and begin to observe them as a separate exper...

Most personal transformations, periods of self-growth are just that: personal. But I choose to put the camera in the chrysalis to offer a front row seat to what transformation of one's mind, heart and self looks and sounds like. It's really quite an extraordinary experiment: a complete deconstruction of my thoughts and an understanding into how and why my mind works the way it does so as to recons...

The Confusion Experiment came about to see if meditation could heal my confusion. The experiment was to meditate for 100 days for one hour everyday and then to grab my phone afterwards and record whatever came out of me! Those 100 days are the equivalent to putting a camera inside the chrysalis. My transformation mirrors that of the catepillar into the butterfly: painful, messy, sacred. To have do...

This week's episode of The Confusion Experiment podcast features the last two chapters of the audiobook before the 100 day experiment begins. Chapter six, "F**K Clarity" is the story of the dam's wall cracking and breaking as the water it has held back comes rushing forward. Here the wall represents my beliefs and distorted mental filters and the water represents my heart. Chapter six also reveals...

This week we continue with the audiobook of "The Confusion Experiment" and chapters four and five titled "The Dark Night of the Soul" and "The Exorcism." In these two deeply personal chapters from my book, I share honestly about my dance with suicide during after my father's death, the end of my relationship, the end of my business relationship and the death of my beloved dog. It's also a journey...

This week's episode of "The Confusion Experiment" podcast delivers the next installment of the audiobook and chapters two and three in which I continue my journey towards my own transformation without even knowing it. Here is where I come to find Kyle Cease and his personal growth work and submit my video application to be chosen for one of four spots for his weekend retreat. In these chapters I c...

This week, I'm sharing with you the Winter Solstice Special from my other podcast, The Camille Conte Show. It's a lovely hour of music, poetry and history. May you take a moment today to be still, appreciate the beauty of the seasons, the turning of the wheel as the Pagans say, and perform some personal ritual or ceremony that connects you to your Sacred Self. Peace, CC

We've got a new moon coupled with a full solar eclipse today, yet another celestial event happening in what is being named "A Divine December." But what does it all mean to us as we go about our lives during these times of tremendous Change? I've spent all day steeping myself in the silence so I could feel into what this opportunity is all about. Turns out, it's a gift that we're being given from...

The deconstruction of the old world order. What does that mean for us if we were a part of that order? How do we handle the complete falling away of the day-to-day structures that governed our sense of self and the life that we live? How do we handle the assault on our senses as we are bombarded with betrayal, injustice, outrage, death, grief and loss? When clinging to the old and denial of the ne...

This week's show features the audio from a live stream talk I did Sunday for the Alaska Center for Spiritual Living, my spiritual home in Anchorage. Since we are all going through so much Change right now from significant personal changes as well as societal changes in attitudes, beliefs and values, the topic is ripe for discussion.  I offer some insight about what Change is and how we can look at...

There's much being said about COVID19 and on this week's episode I talk about what it's teaching me, you and us. How is it teaching us these lessons? By taking away from us the things we took for granted, the habits that have kept us numb and unconscious, the way of life that has run its course as the new design for living makes its case. The importance of flexibility, the value of contrast, the p...

Everything is upside down these days and very much like the storm that took down the 300 year old trees here in New Jersey, our lives have been uprooted. In this week's episode we talk honestly about the changes we are going through and the chaos that this massive change has brought with it. But in order to deal with the uncertainty of these times, we must begin to examine how our minds work so we...

Do you suffer from "decision paralysis?" I have and it's painful. It's that horrible feeling of being stuck, unable to move, afraid to make a choice. It's taken some practice but I have learned how to make decisions in a way that makes me feel better about myself and the decision itself. In fact, I've done so much work around this area of my life I've actually experienced a decision making me! In...

These are uncertain times. But why has uncertainty gotten such a bad reputation? Well, that's because we have placed a high value on knowing. In fact, we have an obsession with knowing and when we don't know the mind tells us that's not a good thing. However, when we examine this more closely, we can clearly see that's not necessarily true. Turns out, uncertainty is a natural and normal experience...
