In this episode, we're going to explore the power of being fully present with the painful emotions we experience and how, exactly, to do this (as well as how not to do it). This topic might seem like an oddly placed one in the midst of a season of episodes that's intended to be geared towards conscious relationships. And yet, the truth is that emotional opposites are intimately entangled. Painful emotions and pleasurable ...

In this episode, we're going to explore the concept of emotional addiction. Season 4 is all about conscious relationships—with loved ones, partners, family members, friends, colleagues, and perhaps most importantly, with ourselves. The better we know ourselves and the more we understand how this human body computer system that we inhabit works, the more consciously we're able to show up in all aspects of our lives, relati...

Welcome to season 4 of The Soul Horizon podcast! We're kicking this season off with an episode that lays the foundation for many if not all of the episodes to come this season. We're exploring the concept of spiritual choice and free will. Specifically, the idea of choosing between what's known as the vertical path and the horizontal path. Simply put, walking the vertical path is a soul-led or heart-guided process, w...

Loving the people the mind deems "loveable" is an easy task. Loving those who rub the mind the wrong way is difficult. And yet doing so is the truest testament to the meaning of love. To love someone who isn’t easily “lovable” by the mind’s standards is to access the depths of love from the space of the heart. In this episode, we'll explore the differences between these two types of love and examine the power of hear...

 In this episode, we'll explore why welcoming emotional triggers is a necessary step in the process of deep healing. And how the things and people that trigger us serve as messengers and as tour guides, leading us to the areas that need to be healed.

Are you living to survive or are you living to thrive? The more attached we are to our identities, beliefs, roles, possessions, stories, etc., the more we're throttled into survival mode. Freeing ourselves to thrive, then, is a matter of lovingly letting go of and loosening our grip on the ego's most engrained attachments.

Note: One of the quotes I share in this episode contains a swear word (a gentle one, all things considered), but please beware in case you're sensitive or in case you're listening around little ears!

"Unconditional love does not mean unconditional tolerance."
