Love Always, Self

Ep 87: Do Societal Norms Influence Our True Selves

What is enlightenment? Why do we only have moments of enlightenment? How does ego affect enlightenment? How are we more than what we have become? How do societal norms hide our true selves? How can we remember our true selves? 
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss the idea of enlightenment, what it possibly is, what it is not, and how the Ego and society norms affect our ability to reach or attain enlightenment.  Karista shares a download she received while reflecting on passages from Eckhart Tolle’s book, “The Power of Now.”

Ep 86: Letting Go; The Illusion of Control

How is the sense of control an illusion? How do I let go of this idea of control? How does letting go support manifestation? How can I live life more free-flowing? 
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss the illusion of control and the practice of letting go. Karista & Shyra expand upon a shared message Shyra received from MT GLASS.
“ Letting go has an association with surrendering to the unknown. It is a valid thought process to want to control your scenarios in life. However, implementing predictions into the unknown can cause a blockage of thoughts and create predictions of stories that you yourself have created without a known outcome. Giving yourself the freedom to let go allows you to release the responsibility of the outcomes, thus releasing the blockages you yourself have created. It is still valid that your experiences up until now and the education you have received are based on your location and circumstances. Has given you "permission", and they quoted that to individually and collectively created these stories as a way of self-preservation and protection. However, we feel that we are coming into a time-space where "letting go" is imminent to perceive the unknown and create in a space that gives way to better connections of self-thoughts, reality creation.” - MT GLASS

Ep 85: Shifting Perspectives; Removing the Veil of the Illusion of Separation

What is the illusion of separation? What creates the illusion of separation? How does perception affect the illusion of separation? How does projection affect perception? How is knowledge different from perception? Are we separate or one?
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss the illusion of separation, how our perceptions affect our perspectives, and how to support our mind in removing the veil of separation so that we may open ourselves fully to receive and live in love.

Ep 84: Using Logic vs Intuition

What is intuition?  Is logical thought better than intuition? How is rational thought incomplete? How does ego affect my intuitive abilities? How does intuition work? How do intuition and logic work together? How can I strengthen my intuition?
 
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss the use of intuition, which we are all innately born with, in conjunction with the logical mind that is taught and developed throughout childhood and into adulthood, per societal norms. Intuition is a useful tool and can help fill the gaps where rational thought is incomplete.

Ep 82: How Attachments Block Our Ability To Receive

Can attachments block our ability to receive? How can attachments create barriers in manifestation? How can I remain open to receiving? What are my attachments? What does it mean to be attached to what you’re trying to manifest? How can I detach from my attachments? 
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss how attachments can create blockages in our ability to receive in the process of manifestation. When we are in a state of desire, or a state of desperation, we are actually connecting to a space of lack. This is not to say that we should avoid wanting, but rather guidance to observe and evaluate your mindset to determine if you are grounded in a state of lack or if you are grounded in a state of abundance. 
Releasing attachments does not mean to become unattached or emotionless. Instead, set an intention to be open to receive, or not receive, based on what is best for your highest and greatest good and will be most supportive of your spiritual growth in this life.

Ep 81: Taking Action Towards Your Future Self

How can I take action towards reaching my future self? How do I manifest? Does manifestation require action? What are the steps to manifestation? What is needed to manifest? How do I create my reality? 
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss the topic of manifestation. One misconception of manifestation is that thought is all that is required.  While this may sometimes be the case, it is a more rare occurrence for most. Manifestation generally requires more than a thought; it requires action and practicing embodying the future self you want to desire. 
Steps to taking action towards manifesting your future self: 
Get clear on what it is that you want and set your intentions. Daydream, be specific and detailed. What do you see your future self doing day to day? What does your future self do to feel and experience what you are missing now?
Observe your current thoughts, reactions, and patterns. Where is your mindset? Are your thoughts coming from a place of lack? Or a place of abundance? Do the word choices of your thoughts support perceived limitations? Or do they encourage and build you up? 
Start taking action. Pick ONE action you’d like to incorporate into your life and practice daily. Make it a part of your routine. A 5-minute meditation, a morning walk, drinking water before coffee, practicing positive affirmations.  It’s ok to start small. Set yourself up for success by avoiding becoming overwhelmed by wanting to change too much at once. 
Be open to the magic of receiving, in whatever way the Universe may deliver. 
Trust the process. Practice patience and persistence. Trust yourself and your ability to create.
Acknowledge, with gratitude, all the things you have done, the things that have changed, and everything that has been received, for everything you are, for everything you have experienced and have yet to experience.

Ep 80: Reviving Generosity; The Gift of Service to Others

What can I give? How can I give the gift of service? Is the gift of service better than tangible gift items? Do I have to give material gifts? How can I give without gifts? How do I give during the holidays? Do I have to go into debt during the holiday? What gifts are expected? What are the holiday expectations? Why is Christmas so materialistic?
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss holiday gift giving and how materialism has altered our perspectives of giving to others. The majority of families in America are living paycheck to paycheck and the expectation to give gifts beyond our means during the holiday causes extended financial stress beyond the holidays. So how can you give without extending yourself beyond your means?
Questions to ask yourself to understand your relationship to gift giving:
Am I giving gifts to receive gifts back?
Am I giving because of the expectations of others?
Am I giving out of fear of not being enough?
Alternative “giving” ideas:
Volunteer as a family to give back to those that are truly without or in needAnimal shelters
Homeless shelters
Battered women’s shelters
Big Brother, Big Sister
Blue or Brown Santa
Making blankets for homeless
Write holiday letters to seniors in assisted living facilities or to children in hospitals
Days of kindness; finding one opportunity every day to lift a stranger up
Pick an Angel from the Salvation Army Tree (no longer a the mall; located at Wal-mart)
Spend quality time togetherGame night
Walking the neighborhood admiring holiday lights
Holiday crafts
Caroling, the gift of song
Do yard work for neighbors
Host a neighborhood food drive

Ep79: Normalizing Our Ability to Connect To The Unseen

How do you connect with your intuition? Do others connect with their intuition? How do you talk about what you cannot see? How do you talk to others about psychic abilities? How can you tell when someone is open to the unseen? How do we normalize spirituality? 
Ideally, we would all be able to enter into any space with any person and be able to have an open conversation while feeling safe and accepted. However, because each person is on their own path and in a different place in their spiritual journey, not everyone will be ready to hear about or discuss spirituality without becoming defensive or rooted in judgment. 
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss how to create an atmosphere that normalizes discussing spiritual growth and connecting with unseen things, like intuition or spiritual guides. Like all things, this practice starts by looking within and creating that safe internal space to be you. 
Evaluate your judgment of your spiritual growth. Have you accepted your ability to connect?
Ask yourself what is the story you’re telling yourself? Are you speaking negatively about yourself to yourself? How can you alter your story to emphasize self-love, self-worth, and self-confidence?
How can you adjust your state of being to accept others where they are at and be open to someone surprising you with their curiosity?
Do you need to release the judgment of others and maintain your own sense of curiosity in this mission of discovery?
How can you do a “heat check” in a conversation?

Ep 78: Where Your Attention Goes Your Energy Flows; Be What You Want To See In The World

What are you focused on? What holds your attention? Where is your attention today? What are you worried about? Where do you focus your mental energy? What can you create today? 
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss how when something occupies the mind, energy is actually flowing toward and amplifying the power of the original something that consumes a large portion of our mental and physical time and energy. 
The use of self-observation can be helpful in becoming aware of how much energy you are putting into something through your thoughts. When we spend our time in thoughts of fear, scarcity, worry, and anger, the energy of these feelings is fed. When we become aware and conscious of our thoughts and remember we have the power and responsibility of choice, we can refocus any rumination occurring within less desirable feelings into the energy of reflection, then that of conscious choice, thus leading to conscious change.  
In this episode Karista & Shyra discuss
The difference between rumination and reflection
The Butterfly Effect
World Wide Consciousness Net/Collective Conscious
Interconnectivity
