On Your Authority

You are going to be "ebullient" dropping in on this episode as Larry, Curly and Moe explore and share resources for establishing the why and how in operating from Your Authority. The importance of having a community with which to explore is considered and we want to know how you use community in establishing Your Authority in Life?

Today's show explores a reader's question about the use of intentions in yoga classes. Of course we 3 can't leave it at that... join us as we bounce around not only the background of intention-setting from a yoga perspective, but "how" to discover, use and return to intentions. Michael leaves us with a great, simple assignment to close the show. So come on "in" and join the conversation...no matter your intention!

We explore our rhythms of work, planting and harvest as Matt shares his Iowa farm experience from the past two weeks. Sure, Staffan's all pumped about hockey starting, but what pucks are we skating after and why? Michael offers a great first thing in the morning exercise around setting what's most important in your day and we've got the link to it in the show notes. So what are you willing to lose a tooth for today?

Michael is in Japan training many new yoga therapists in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. He shares many interesting adventures and the tremendous commitment of the students. Staffan talks about the satisfaction of learning about the many exciting things his past students shared they're doing when they came back for fall Alumni Weekend. While from the middle of the heartland of Iowa Matt checks in with rhythms of harvest and space to reassess his commitments on a break. What are your commitments and "Have you had a cold shower lately?".

This episode explores two questions submitted by Jaimie, one of our listeners: 1. How do I set a value (monetary) for my time based on my authority? 2. Related, how do I hold boundaries on time in patient/student interactions? We'd love to hear how you answer these questions and hope you will share this podcast with friends or colleagues that might be struggling with these issues as well. We also make sure Michael is packed for Japan!

Join us in an end of summer reflection on ways we find grounding when major and minor Life shifts occur. We share some resources for claiming your authority in ways that will fuel your passion and keep you returning to what gives your Life its deepest meaning. The seasons turn fast and Fall is a great time to recalibrate!

In this special episode, we honor Staffan's father, Sten Elgelid who died July 28th. Staffan joins us from Sweden and together we explore the many aspects of where we look for authority. We go from Japan to whale watching to beach time... why do we consume so much and what are we really longing to "see"? We invent some new words like "oblication" and "photo diarrhea" but we think you will find yourself asking "What am I looking for?" and as Sten taught so many, finding what means the most and contributes to others' well-being is critical to fuel our lives. 

Staffan, Michael and Matt explore their experiences around transitions, from professional to personal, to include supporting aging parents. Join us and share your experiences of transitioning and how you stay with Your Authority.

This fun broadcast is led by Staffan as he interviews Matt and Michael who are staying at Michael's camp in northern Maine.

What steps help and what have you learned isn't such a good idea? Join us and share your knowledge!

How do you figure out what the "real" you is in a world bombarding us with information and it's own proposed authority. That's the simple topic we address today.

We also want to hear from you how you have been able to support yourself and if you work with others, how you support them.
