Better Communication Skills For Couples Through Cinematic Immersion - with Warren Farrell

How well do you handle criticism from a loved one? If you are anything like most of us, the answer is, not very well! Typically, the closer we are to a person the more fragile we feel when they offer us feedback. Which means that over time couples can feel like they are walking on eggshells, unable to communicate or express themselves honestly. And when we can’t open up to deeper intimacy, love fades. Add in the raising of children and money issues and couples can easily find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. Do they remain together, for convenience, for security, and to sake of the children, but live in a state of psychological divorce, or do they separate?

The biggest culprit in this dynamic is defensiveness. If couples could truly drop their defenses and actively listen and hear each other, perhaps they could come together again. But active listening is rarely used. Which is why Warren Farrell, PhD, developed Cinematic Immersion. Cinematic Immersion is a method that enables couples to actively listen to their partner without feeling defensive. As couples learn how to experience “criticism” as love, they simultaneously learn “the art and discipline of love” and how to deepen that love throughout the week.

Join us for today’s show, and learn what all is possible for you in all of your closest relationships when you can drop you defenses, truly hear what your loved ones are saying, and learn how to communicated your feelings as well.

Permanent Weight Loss Through the Feeding of Your Soul – with Carly Pollack

Are you ready to get off the diet roller coaster, lose weight permanently, and feel great? So many of us spend years (or even decades) messing around with fad diets, beating up on ourselves and our bodies, and limiting the way we live because of our obsession with food. If you are ready to stop stressing, stop denying yourself, and start feeding your soul and your body with love, so you can live your life with joy, health and happiness, then this is the show for you!

Carly Pollack, author of Feed Your Soul and the founder of Nutritional Wisdom, knows what it’s like to tie your sense of worth to the way your body looks or to what size you wear. She understands the fact that most of us (even if we intellectually know better) are at least somewhat a victim of society’s unrealistic view of bodies, health and fitness.

She has an extensive background in health, nutrition and fitness, as well as years of practical experience helping hundreds of women get happy and healthy permanently. She believes that the most important component of weight loss is the mind! In fact, one of her sayings is, “Our plate is a reflection of our inner state.”

You Are God in Disguise!

Craig Kolavo, business man, seeker, motivator and author of I am God In disguise, So are You believes that there are three simple steps that all humans – all souls are here to do: Discover – Surrender – Inspire.

Discover: First, we must discover who we truly are. During our time on Earth, as humans, we forget that we are divine. We forget that we are truly God in disguise and that we are our divine nature, not our human body or even our human experience.

Surrender: Once we awaken that sleeping giant within, we are faced with the question of surrendering or fighting against that divine nature. Which begs the question, what’s in it for me? Which is totally normal to ask! After all, we are still human!

I Am God in Disguise is a call to action to rediscover our spiritual nature, and be intentional about our collective purpose as human beings. Are you ready to head the call?
