 I'm joined by John Welshons (Ramananda), a highly respected contemporary spiritual teacher. He is the author of the critically acclaimed new book, ONE SOUL, ONE LOVE, ONE HEART: The Sacred Path to Healing All Relationships. Our most challenging relationships could be the way we teach ourselves our greatest spiritual lessons. http://onesouloneloveoneheart
"There's no better way to be happy, than to have more love."

 What you talk about builds the house you live in. Ever catch yourself saying "Oh, I'm not good at that"?
I've had many clients tell me they can't manage this or that based on having never really tried it. We bust right through those to incredible new places. How? Because they are just lies. They are lies that we install as the windows in our house. Through these lies we view the world outside: a limited place of ever decreasing possibility. It doesn't have to be this way. To get the exercises and book list from today click here  Shannon Bindler & Margalit Ward L.A.'s original Get Up Girl Margalit Ward and I talk about how to stay on track with any type of goal, resolution or heart's desire. Margalit shared her six steps to busting procrastination and we sure had fun along the way.
Say goodbye to piled up bills and not getting to the gym! (or, yunno, get back to me on that) To get started ask:
Write me with the answers to your questions if you like - and let me know how it goes :)  Who decides what's possible for you at any given time? Are 'impossible dreams' just fantasies or are they challenges? And if they are challenges, what would it take to do something you are yearning to do?
I look at the limits of our beliefs, the barriers of perfectionism and striving and the works of Gay Hendricks (The Big Leap), Michael Neill and Barbara Sher. What's impossible comes straight from how we think and what we decide. In this show I explore how to shimmy right over those limits. Interesting in doing more? The reading list and suggested practices are here in Ideas and Tips  Lynne Klippel, author of Overcomers Inc and I talk about true stories of hope, inspiration and courage from her book. We all have days when we'd rather just stay under the covers, and then we have days we wish we weren't born at all. No matter what the circumstances, it helps to know that others have made it through similar tough times and come out the other side.
 We tend to think that safety comes from retraction. A closed stance feels protected; an open stance seems exposed. But the opposite is actually true. Resistance does not protect us from the world around us, and as those things happen anyway, resistance keeps us from adapting and having a creative response to whatever is happening.
I talk about five ways to cultivate an attitude of growth: self-observation, questions, openness/listening, knowing our stories, and seeing the ways we are connected.  Talking with Asha Praver about crisis, real strength, higher awareness and coping with change...
Taught by a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, Asha Praver is Spiritual Co-Director of the Ananda Palo Alto Community. She invites us to discover the power to go deeper, to find compassion for ourselves and others and open to possibility, even at the worst of times. Today's uncertainty can be an invitation to care for yourself in new ways and build new strength. Asha shows us where to look for the courage we need..  Does it feel different to be looking forward to a year ahead rather than counting the days to the end? There's a subtle shift, isn't there? Whether you believe a new year is a total clean slate or just another day - it still seems like like change is afoot somehow.
Or maybe that is just me!! I spent New Year doing something I've never done before: December 31st I was alone on a reflective retreat. On the show I share with you what I did, what I packed and what I learned and how you can apply 5 principles of change to any change in your life.
 Wouldn't you love to easily stay calm and balanced even when challenged by "difficult" family members, long-standing issues and the sometimes stressful moments of the holiday period? Dr. Roger Mills, President of the Center for Sustainable Change, will introduce you to three simple principles that allow you to take control your peace of mind.
