The Tiny Pod

Many of us are on a quest, in pursuit of various forms of external validation or external comforts. Quests are the “when’s” - when I get a promotion, when I move home, when I get married- yet when we arrive, instead of satisfaction, contentment and peace we are consumed with another when. The quieter, subtler quest inward is the one that leads us to true peace. The quest to know ourselves and be k...

Whether we live by faith or we follow science, it all leads to the same conclusion- there is negative and positive energies at play. This is the nature of existence. We are hard wired to see, remember and look for negativity. This is the survival programming, the negativity bias that we can rewire with consistent positive actions, choices, thoughts and behaviours. Heart coherence can only be found...

This week’s pod is about Spiritual bypassing, a term coined by John Welwood in the 1980s that he used to define as when we use spiritual ideas, practices, or language to avoid facing painful emotions, unresolved wounds, or real-life responsibilities. We want to be healed and therefore rush to perform healing, integration and alignment at the expense of true healing. It is a performance, a shiny co...

This weeks podcast is about cycles, and how change is all that is constant. As we head out of summer and towards autumn, I reflect on the cycles of life, and the invitation changing seasons give us to explore change and impermanence. Change is life. See you next week, Miranda

SEASON 4 IS HERE!! This week I talk about quality of life. Society conditions us to believe quality of life is bought, outside of ourselves, in organic food and products, or the size of our house, the education of our children, or the clothes we wear. Quality of life starts within. We cannot truly be healthy, vital, and free when we are still running on survival programming and our nervous systems...

To celebrate Notting Hill Carnival, this episode explores its history and how the carnival is a beautiful example of joy as resistance, of the power of community, and of celebration as revolution. Divided we fall, united we rise. May we continue to promote unity in all areas of our society, may we continue to rise together and to amplify the voices of the oppressed. May love always win. See you ne...

I define integration as when our body, mind , heart and soul form a cohesive whole, and are in integrity with one another. When all these four pillars that form our ‘self’ are in alignment with our truest self, with our innate truth, goodness, wholeness. This week I talk about the body, mind, heart and soul and how when we lean on one and ignore the other three, we are out of alignment with our se...

We are conditioned to externalise our worth, to measure ourselves against others, to base our value on our productivity, our wealth, our beauty. We are conditioned to rely on the validation of others . When we dissolve these illusions, all that remains is truth- you were born worthy, you woke up worthy, you are worthy now and always just for being. Worth is not earnt, it is remembered. See you nex...

Time is an illusion we use to avoid change. We weaponise time against ourselves when we buy into and live by the constructed false belief that it takes time to heal, change, or grow. We are conditioned to avoid discomfort, pain and change but these are the routes to freedom. Now is power, now is possibility, now is when we change. See you next week, M xx

We are conditioned to perform, to please, to seek approval, to belong. We spend so much time and energy performing kindness, or tidiness or perfection. It distracts us from investing energy in ourself, and in actually being any of things we hope others think we are. Through deep self enquiry, self acceptance and self love we become unapologetically ourselves, authentic and free. We become safe, we...

What we judge in others, we are denying in ourselves. We judge others to feel better, superior, to relieve our own inner judgement, if only fleetingly. Judgement is playing God. There is no right or wrong, good or bad, there is only what is. It is our shame based thinking that measures people, circumstances and experiences on a judgement scale conditioned into us and fuelled by our lack of worthin...

Faith is trust that all is working out in our favour even when it feels challenging. Even when we are experiencing discomfort, trials, and we cannot see evidence or proof it will get better, or even how it will, faith is the trust that keeps us going. Discomfort is the way. We are conditioned to avoid discomfort, it serves our consumerist society to keep us empty and consuming, distracted and seek...

Everyone we meet is a mirror, a reflection of what we believe about our self internally. When we are triggered by someone or something outside of ourself, that trigger is a wound within. They have activated an old wound, an old belief from our early years when our identity was being formed by society, parents, when we were downloading information and believing the identity that was placed on us. W...

Following on from last week, once we are aware of our words, their power to create how we feel, and the world around us, we can choose to follow thoughts that feel good, take action aligned with our true selves, no longer running on survival mode of fear, lack, scarcity. “I don’t know” is no longer terrifying, it frees us from any limits we’ve unconsciously placed on ourselves and opens us up to t...

Creation begins with words, in the mind, what we think, what we speak, what we say in our minds to ourselves, what we believe. We are constantly creating, and we get to choose what reality we create for ourselves. We get to choose to be a victim of our circumstances, or to believe, to speak, to think a new reality into existence. It all starts with awareness, noticing what we are constantly repeat...

“Shame is a soul eating emotion,” Carl Yung. Shame is carried down generation to generation, as caregivers act in familiar and shameless ways towards their children, and their children then carry this shame and act shamelessly themselves. Shame kills. It is a silent killer that thrives in silence, secrecy, it tells us to hide ourselves, our stories, our vulnerability, our authenticity, our feeling...

This week is all about connecting to our soul, our inner knowing, and our connection with all creation. This is the fourth of my four pillars that provide the foundation for living a life of freedom, truth, and peace. We are able to connect, listen, and follow our inner knowing when our body, mind and heart are in calm, cohesion. Listening to our intuition and connecting with our soul brings all f...

This week I talk about the heart. The third in the series of my four pillars of alignment that form my road map for living authentically, wholly, freely, peacefully. The heart is the most powerful organ of the body, the first to form and the only organ that we cannot live without. The heart has its own brain, that feels, remembers and regulates cardiac rhythms. Its magnetic field is 5000 x stronge...

This week’s pod is all about the mind, the second of my four pillars of alignment - Body, Mind, Heart and Soul. The mind is so powerful. We generate between 60,000 - 70,000 thoughts every day and 90% of them are the same every day. We are re living yesterday in a different outfit, running on autopilot. “If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.” Dr Wayne Dyer When we br...

Season 3 is here!!! I am so excited to be launching Season 3. Season 1 was the gathering of information, science, tools, research and literature and sharing with you every step of the way. Season 2 was the integration of these tools, ideas and concepts that led to my body, mind, heart, soul integration that is the foundation for how I live, and what I teach. So season 3? I’m here to share how I li...

Today is the Scorpio Flower Moon, a beautiful pairing of death and rebirth, darkness and growth, decay and fertility. This week I talk about self actualisation- what does it even mean? I describe it as a peaceful parasympathetic nervous system, heart coherence, the developing of healthy neural pathways in the brain, and connecting to something bigger than my tiny mind. These four pillars are my fo...

This weeks episode is all about refining, the continual process of shedding and releasing old habits, beliefs, identities, conditioning that keeps us stuck, small, and hides our true essence: infinite possibility, eternal, truth. I delve into the process of alchemy, using it as a guide for the process of refining and revealing our true self so that we can be, truly, who we are. Thank you so much f...

Last night marked a powerful new moon in Taurus, calling us back to our deep roots, to ground ourselves into the earth and simplify the noise and distractions that keep us from hearing our true self, soul and heart. This week I talk about becoming. How as human beings we are constantly becoming and it is through committed and consistent choices, actions and behaviours aligned with our values and v...

This week we are officially in Taurus season, slow, steady, grounded. Yesterday was Earth Day which aligns perfectly with Taurus, a day to protect, to nourish the earth and to look at how we nourish, protect and praise ourselves. This week , I talk about the power of words, how words create our realities, even the silent thoughts in our heads. We are constantly creating with words, so what are we...

Today is Good Friday, a nod to all the mythologies and traditions around the life death life cycle. I discuss the word audacity, and how it is courageous and daring to feel our feelings. Our hearts are the most powerful organ in the body, constantly sending out electromagnetic energy that radiates beyond our physical body. So having the audacity to feel and release our emotions brings our entire b...
