The Uncover YOU podcast

Send us Fan Mail Embodiment is such a fundamental piece to both healing and creating a new life. Fact is, you’re embodying your beliefs right now, most of them unconsciously. If you want to experience real inner change AND see the effects of your inner work reflected back to you in the world around you… then you need to understand and practice conscious embodiment.  In this episode of the Uncover...

Send us Fan Mail This is a bonus episode that was recorded during a live session in the community. You can do the meditation or, if now is not the time, you can skip forward to the discussion at the 34 minute mark and do the mediation when you have space for it. Things we covered in the discussion: - Does consciousness solve everything? - What if my mind is very scattered and my attention jumping...

Send us Fan Mail When we’re trying to change the current program of our mind, we’re faced with somewhat of a pickle: The tool we have to change it with is also what we’re trying to change. Often, the current program of our mind can’t even dream up what could be possible. What life could look like or what we’re capable of. It can’t see outside of itself. And IF it can, it often feels victimized by...

Send us Fan Mail If you have a skeptical mind and have been spending most of your life relying on your thinking, it might seem like an insurmountable task to have the direct experience of consciousness. Even if you have been meditating for a long time, chances are that you’ve been doing it from inside the mind. Here’s the good news. I was extremely heady, analytical, AND skeptical, and I managed t...

Send us Fan Mail The direct experience of your core self is something that will change you. The funny thing is that you’ve actually come home to yourself and not changed at all, you’ve simply dropped some layers of illusion you used to cling to.  We’ve all read the books and heard the stories about awakenings and enlightenment, but truly experiencing it for yourself and not through an idea in your...

Send us Fan Mail Understanding brainwave states and how they are related to different states of consciousness made a big lightbulb go on for me. The survival state with its looping thoughts and feeling stuck can be clearly measured as a brainwave state. As can the state of feeling at peace and present with yourself and the world around you. With each of your internal states the frequency of the pu...

Send us Fan Mail A lot of people have formed the idea that meditation is a way to discipline the mind. To quiet it, focus it, calm it down, cultivate more of the thoughts you want to have and with that become more of the person you want to be. This idea might be helpful to get you started but can keep you trapped in identification with the mind.  In this episode of the Uncover YOU podcast, I talk...

Send us Fan Mail You have likely heard me emphasize how important it is to take apart your old beliefs, rather than trying to put new ones on top of them. That’s why I’m skeptical about practices that ONLY rely on affirmations or thinking your way to new patterns, since they often bypass your initial wounds and the exiled parts that need to be met and integrated.  However, building a new house whi...

Send us Fan Mail Inner-growth work at its core is simple, and yet so tricky. Mainly because we’re trying to understand a pattern and shift it, with the same program it was created with. As you can imagine, this is not a very effective way. The insights that we need seem to stay hidden just out of sight, while we run our hamster wheel. So if you’ve been wondering why you haven’t been able to get to...

Send us Fan Mail When we hear the term “survival state” it’s easy to associate it with life-threatening situations and trauma. But we’re in this state a lot more than we’re aware of. We’re unconsciously responding with fight-or-flight responses to many of our everyday situations, even if on a lower grade on the scale. The thing is: since this state is so normalized - in your own body and brain, an...

Send us Fan Mail We’ve all heard our mind say things like “I feel like shit” or “I’m completely overwhelmed”. What often happens next is that we react to this statement like it’s true and a terrible thing that either needs to be fixed asap or something to feel hopeless and defeated about. But what if instead of getting carried away in reactions to the statement, we were to look at the statement it...

Send us Fan Mail If we would call the deeply connecting relationship we long for a festive Holiday meal, then there’s a fundamental ingredient that is needed to cook that meal. An ingredient that most of us haven’t learned how to access, or even that it exists. It’s so rare to see it well practiced that we could call it a forgotten ingredient. Chances are that you rather have seen and practiced MA...

Send us Fan Mail When a relationship has a good quality of connection - whether it’s in the relationship to your own mind, emotions and body, or in relationship with others - a door opens. A door from the room of old patterns that leads into a new experience. What will create and open that door is the quality of the attention you’re directing onto something. Just like a magic spell. The reason you...

Send us Fan Mail I had to remove a lot of protection layers to even discover that I longed for deep, heartfelt connections. My spiritual ego that felt all it needed was deep meditation and the skill to shift from anger to gratitude had to crumble. The lone wolf who said it was better off alone had to meet with its deep-buried fear. The project manager that believed everything could be related to t...

Send us Fan Mail Let’s play with the idea that everything in life is a matter of relating. You relate to the people around you and your job. You relate to the weather or the traffic. You relate to your emotions, your inner judge and your mind. All of them are showing up in a certain way - but what’s your half of the relationship? In this episode of the Uncover YOU podcast, we take a closer look at...

Send us Fan Mail A common thought while doing self-awareness work, or in other places in life, is “I’m stuck”. It’s a pretty vague metaphor that can mean many different things. Still, our mind tends to take it as a truth and gets busy with figuring out why we are stuck and what we need to do to get out of there. What would happen if we instead found out WHO it is feeling stuck? And allowing the em...

Send us Fan Mail Feel unable to change an old pattern that you discovered a while back? Or that you can’t get to a core belief? Or are you noticing yourself avoiding meeting some uncomfortable emotions that you know needs to come out? And like the responsibility to figure it all out is on you? In a sense, it’s true that no one else can do your inner work for you. But in a world where we fear to be...

Send us Fan Mail A lot of people use physical exercise, yoga, or meditation to regulate their emotions. They feel better and learn to not get stuck in an unhelpful thought pattern. That is great! But at times we are using these activities to avoid emotions we don’t want around, which just keeps them stuck there longer. Let’s explore how to tell the difference between regulating and avoiding emotio...

Send us Fan Mail Ever wondered what a spiritual power journey is? And what the heck you do on one? The first time I nervously signed up to go on one I was considering if I’d gone crazy and was about to join a cult. Maybe I did because I kept coming back. But it wasn’t because some cult leader was giving me new rules to live by, quite the opposite. It was because of how different I felt inside and...

Send us Fan Mail Do you know what one of the most fascinating things about taking the journey of deep inner change is? That you’re not the same as you were five years or even five months ago. The beliefs that were driving your thoughts and behaviors back then aren’t there anymore. So you think different thoughts. You react differently. And most of all you feel differently about yourself and life....

Send us Fan Mail When our inner alchemical or spiritual work has become another thing on the to-do list and we feel the heaviness of another box to check, we’ve lost touch with our WHY. We’ve forgotten what we set out to do and we’re lost in the forest of musts and shoulds. Your inner work is not another chore. It’s the rebellious act of breaking free from a program of beliefs based in fear. A pro...

Send us Fan Mail “You shouldn’t feel angry, you should be able to accept this!” Does this inner thought, or something similar, sound familiar? As we’ve talked about in previous episodes, our mind has a tendency to use things in our self-awareness and spiritual work against us. To hijack them, make a minor tweak and voilá: all the sudden we’re beaten down with the concepts we’re trying to change ou...

Send us Fan Mail What are you currently believing about who you should be or what you should be feeling? The mind is constantly trying to fit us into different boxes. The boxes might be changing through your life, but the underlying dynamic of needing to fit one, and beating down on you if you don’t, is the same. When going through the self mastery process, or other awareness work, the box might h...

Send us Fan Mail Overwhelm happens when we don’t have the capacity to fully process a situation, our inner emotions or other impressions. We could say that the instream of data is greater than our bandwidth to process. Our capacity to process can be temporarily lowered because we’ve got a lot going on. Or we’re constantly taking too much in without a filter so our processor is tired and burned out...

Send us Fan Mail The feminine and the masculine are some of the oldest archetypes and their dynamic is alive in all of us, beyond gender identification. If left unattended it’s easy to take on many of society’s unhealthy relating between the feminine and the masculine. When honored and nourished, they can bring a whole new level of aliveness and integrity. When they are matured and embodied they w...
