The Uncover YOU podcast

Send us Fan Mail The further you travel into the core of your being, what you'll find is love. The more love you can give to yourself, the more freedom and expansion you get to experience, and the more personal power you have at your disposal. The way to get there is by examining the relationship you have to yourself and then shifting out of self-rejection (which is a learned program from fea...

Send us Fan Mail The phrase living in integrity conjures up two wonderful images in my mind: on the one hand, I picture a compact central point, a steadfast core; and on the other, it is an all-encompassing embrace of the whole. That’s kind of what living in integrity feels like: knowing who you are at your core and navigating from a trusted internal compass, while also embracing all parts of the...

Send us Fan Mail Self Mastery can sound like a way to gain control over your mind. To have mastery OVER the self, to override and make sure we don't have any of those pesky uncomfortable reactions again. In a way, a consequence of Self Mastery will be that you take back power from the mind and that you get control over the automated programs that have been running it. But at the core, Self Ma...

Send us Fan Mail One of the more persistent assumptions of the mind is that to be truly happy and joyful, all other patterns have to go. This assumption is...false. Once you uncover the spring of happiness and joy underneath the layers of beliefs, you can be happy AND meet old patterns and newly discovered pockets of them from this state. What has shifted? That you’re no longer identified with you...

Send us Fan Mail Nowadays, many more people are aware of limiting beliefs as an obstacle to create the life they want. Once you’ve realized that unconscious beliefs are what is causing many of the emotions, thoughts and patterns you want to change, you probably get in a hurry to try and change them. The problem is that you often don’t go deep enough and are trying to change one limiting belief wit...

Send us Fan Mail If you feel confused about the “right way to handle your emotions”, you’re not alone. We’ve often been taught a reactive way of being with them that includes either avoiding them or being swept away by them. So when we hear the instructions to feel our emotions it might seem very counterintuitive and bring up fear and resistance. On the other hand, we have a sense that this is whe...

Send us Fan Mail One of the biggest things in the way of Dreaming is the identification we have formed with our mind. We believe that what it’s saying is a reflection of who we are and even if we manage to shift out of one or two of the stories it’s telling we still have the unconscious belief that the mind IS WHO WE ARE. But there is more of you. In fact, when you start to explore it you will fin...

Send us Fan Mail Dreaming is a word you might have heard me use in different situations. I talk about personal dreams and collective dreams. I talk about waking dreams and conscious dreaming. I will ask you what dream is dreaming you if you’re one of my clients. But what exactly do I mean by a Dream? In episode 1 I gave an overview of the Self Mastery Journey of moving from the Victim, to the Hunt...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like you were winning the self-mastery game? Like you’ve totally conquered your old program and won’t need to practice anymore. Only to be beaten down the next day and realizing you either had it and lost it, or that you were just believing a lie. In this episode of the Uncover YOU podcast, I share a conversation with one of my clients, Mark, who’s coming into o...

Send us Fan Mail Having a Spiritual Ego is not a big thing, most of us do. The big question is how you relate to it. Do you believe what it’s saying about you and the world, or are you observing what it’s doing from outside of it? Are you believing that you should keep your shadow self hidden, or are you taking action to integrate and welcome all parts of you?  In this episode of the Uncover YOU p...

Send us Fan Mail When your ego-mind has gotten a hold of the idea of self-awareness and spiritual growth, it will use this idea to keep avoiding what it’s afraid of. All the uncomfortable, yucky, wild, dark parts of yourself that you have learned to reject. But shifting the uncomfortable emotions doesn’t happen by wanting them to go away. It’s when you step out of the identification with the ego-m...

Send us Fan Mail As we established in the last episode explaining the spiritual ego , having a spiritual ego is...normal. It’s the ego mind’s survival mechanism of morphing and upgrading. But it might not have been what you had in mind when you set out on your transformational journey. You were dreaming of stepping out of the identification with the mind and its old program altogether. You wanted...

Send us Fan Mail When exploring the terms spiritual ego, spiritual materialism or spiritual narcissism in articles and literature, they are almost always portrayed as a bad thing we want to avoid. The manipulating and abusive guru who has been hiding behind a mask of spirituality type of thing.  But a spiritual ego is not very different from a non-spiritual ego, and understanding it will give you...

Send us Fan Mail If someone would have told me at the beginning of my journey to just get out of my head and drop into my body, I would not have known how to do that. My mind was my safety blanket and I had avoided my emotions by escaping to my mind. Instead of fighting the mind, bring the mind on the journey when you start befriending your emotions. When we get good instructions on HOW to make th...

Send us Fan Mail If the aim for this journey from analyzing to feeling is to operate more from integrity, then let’s look at what that might be and feel like. When you’ve been run by a program in your mind it’s hard to know what trusting your body and what it’s saying might look like. We usually don’t even feel we know who we are when we start to take apart the beliefs that have been the foundatio...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Gary van Warmerdam and I have a conversation about the leap from the mind into the emotions and why he built the Self Mastery Course to support this shift. He also shares about his own process of getting in touch with emotions, and how he moves his attention between the mind, body, emotions, and consciousness throughout his day. You find show notes in this post on...

Send us Fan Mail The Self Mastery work takes off in the understanding of how your mind works, how beliefs are formed and brings you into the observer of your thoughts and reactions. The real shifts won’t start happening until you truly get in touch with your emotions and learn how to feel them. In the coming four episodes we’ll explore that process of moving from your head into your heart, from th...

Send us Fan Mail You find show notes and images in this post on my website. One of the common programs of the mind is to tell us that we’re failing, doing it wrong. Doing the self mastery work is no different. The mind seems to have a surprising amount of opinions on how we should be practicing and what results should look like. When you’ve been identified with the mind you will react and either b...

Send us Fan Mail You find show notes and images in this post on my website. In our last session about Connecting with Pleasure as a skill to expand your old, limiting program and create the life you want, there were good questions that I didn't get to. So in this episode, we'll dive deeper into the topic of pleasure and see if we can bring more clarity to the difference between our mind&...

Send us Fan Mail You find show notes and images in this post on my website. When we start the Self Mastery work it's often from a feeling of struggle. It takes effort, motivation, and willpower to shift our perspective about our inner world and start making changes to it. Especially if we’ve been in a victim state about what is happening to us in our external world and in our internal reactio...

Send us Fan Mail You find show notes and images in this post on my website. Once you know and are doing the foundational practices in the Self Mastery work (found in the self mastery course 1), you have an invaluable foundation to take apart beliefs from. But at a certain point, you might hit a plateau where you find yourself not getting further, walking in circles, or not getting to certain &quot...

Send us Fan Mail You find show notes and images in this post on my website. Let’s look under the hood of a question I get quite often: “How do I learn to set boundaries with other people.” There’s no problem with the question itself, but often it’s asked from the belief that we need some new skills to deal with an external situation, while we actually need some skills to: Become aware of our uncon...

Send us Fan Mail You find show notes and images in this post on my website. A personal transformation isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s necessary to learn new skills and to change how you look at your old patterns to make a deep and lasting shift. This is not a journey for the faint-hearted, since it will have you face and shift the foundation you’ve built your identity on. So is it wor...
