Consciously Speaking

In today's topical content episode, Michael digs into what stops us - what does the little voice in our head say that keeps us from taking action and stepping into our full potential.  It may be saying that "you're not good enough", or "you don't know enough", or "who are you to think you can?" - but none of those things are true. If you have a gift to give to the world, then it's your responsibility to deliver it. Don't let small-minded, righteous people stand in the way of you delivering your message any more than you would allow your own thoughts to get in the way. If you want to make a difference in the world - make a big one. Today’s show is being brought to you by The Conscious Life Summit 2016! Reserve your spot today while it is still absolutely FREE.

Today’s guest is Garnet Schulhauser. Garnet is a retired lawyer who lives near Victoria, on Vancouver Island, with his wife, Cathy, and little dog, Abby. He grew up on a small farm in Saskatchewan and moved to Calgary, Canada, after law school where he practiced corporate law for over thirty years with two blue-chip law firms. Garnet’s life changed dramatically one day in 2007 (while still practicing law) when he was confronted on the street by a homeless man named Albert.

Today’s guest is Charanpal Kaur. Charanpal is a devoted KRI-Certified Kundalini yoga teacher, Khalsa Way prenatal consultant, Yin Yoga instructor, and recording artist. After studying Hatha yoga for over a decade, her curiosity led her to try something new. She was completely struck by how positively different she felt after her first Kundalini class, and developed a loving relationship with this ancient science and technology. Teaching Kundalini Yoga has been a great honor for Charanpal. She witnesses profound transformations in her students as they empower themselves with the awareness that who they truly are is a pure, radiant, and healthy Being.  As a recording artist, Charanpal is inspired by the folk music of her youth, such as Joni Mitchell, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Cat Stevens. In developing her own style, she has enjoyed mixing poetry in English with the traditional Gurbani mantras that Master Teacher, Yogi Bhajan, shared with the yogis of the west.  With a thirst for travel and learning about dif

In this topical content episode, Michael revisits sadness, grief, and even death - as once again he received a sad phone call regarding the passing of his step-brother, Ronald Borgmeyer. And as if that weren't bad enough to hear, he gets the news that his mother is in the hospital with atrial fibrillation and pneumonia, while his sister is in a room right down the hall from her, suffering from an obstructed bile duct. Michael digs deep into the way our thoughts trigger our emotions and how we have the choice and the power to determine what we think and therefore, what we feel. This exploration reveals that sometimes our sadness is buried in the deeply hidden loss of our youth.

In today's topical content show, Michael talks about (and demonstrates) transparency - and how it looks in business and at home. He also ties that in with tuning in to what we really want when we ask for something. How much do you reveal about yourself, your true intentions, what you really want? Do you play things close to your vest in business, but open up at home and among friends? What are the rewards and the costs of being fully revealing? When you get upset about not getting what you asked for, did you actually ask for what you want? If you're getting frustrated because your spouse doesn't want to watch a romantic movie with you, when all you really wanted was some snuggle-time - you might want to reframe your question, let go of the movie, and ask for what you want.

In this topical content episode, Michael talks about the "drought" - not just the one that California is going through, but the personal ones we all experience from time to time. While there may be periods in our lives where we experience a deep lack in some area, either our love-life, our finances, or even our careers, the one certainty is change. The drought will pass. They always do. It's more a matter of how you handle the time in between. The great boat that can carry you across the abyss is "gratitude".
