Wendy Mulder – Leading Through Unexpected Grief

Aired Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at 1:00 PM PST / 4:00 PM EST

Did you know that in this reality it’s appropriate to grieve and and in some cultures even expected?

There are some places that you are required to wear black and grieve for two years if you lose your husband. Oh boy!

Rarely are we taught to celebrate loss.

Rarely are we encouraged to see the gift in something that may be hard but is creating something greater than we could ever imagine.

When my step dad died it was a very very sad day for us all.Wendy-Mulder_Outside-the-Impossible_OMTimes-Radio And yet there were so many unexpected gifts that came from that.

People coming together in ways they hadn’t in a long time.

Family laying down their differences and hugging each other even if just for the day.

People acknowledging what a contribution he was in their life. Truthfully, he was one of the kindest men I have ever had the privilege to know.

Not to mention all the possibilities that opened up for my mom.

Do we miss him. Of course!

Is our life better because we knew him. Absolutely!

And have our lives opened up even more in his passing. I can honestly say yes there was gifts in that too.

What if the universe is always conspiring for you never against you, even if you can’t see how?

Join Wendy Mulder and I LIVE on OmTimes Wednesday January 29 at 1pm PT in the USA and Thursday the 30 at 7am AEST in Australia!

Would you like to talk to us? Call us live at +1 202-570-7057 !

Thank you for listening!

A message from Wendy

We all have a story of grief or loss. The difference is that I believe we can use our story to create change in the world or we can use it against ourselves.

I was raped at a very young age and I decided the best way to live from that time on was to not be seen or heard. I literally stopped speaking and removed myself from the world in many ways. I suppressed the trauma and tried to just move forward, but as I got older it started impacting my life, most overtly in the form of debilitating migraines which began when I was 5 years old.

For many years I lost a lot of myself and went into the of wrongness of me. It was not one of my best choices and interestingly enough, the only person I was hurting was myself by not willing to be present or vulnerable with myself. Vulnerability with self is never putting up a barrier to everything you are and seeing the good, bad and ugly of you – and never judging any part of it.

I realised I had spent a lot of my life trying to prove how good I was whilst believing underneath that I was actually bad and wrong. Cute but not bright! That has now changed dynamically. I am so grateful for the tools, processes and information from Access Consciousness® which is all about empowering you to be more of you!

My adventure with Access Consciousness® began with Access Consciousness The Bars. You can find out more about Access Bars® here. It was the beginning of dynamic change (and the elimination of my migraines forever!) in every aspect of my life, particularly that of grief and trauma. I realise now that grief is an area that a lot of people don’t like to talk about because it is seen as sad, heavy and so significant in this reality. My point of view about grief is, ‘What if we could see grief from a space of allowance, question, and possibility?’ If grief was a gift, what choices could it offer you and what changes could those choices bring?

Robert Strock – Awareness That Heals – Cultivating the Internal Resources For External Challenges

Aired Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST

Interview with Psychologist and Educator Robert Strock, Author of “Awareness That Heals”

“We all have the wherewithal for change. Having the aware-with-all is the all-important first step.” — Swami Beyondananda

One of my favorite cartoons of all time is a two-panel piece that I first saw in a psychotherapist’s waiting room. In the first panel, a boy being swept under in a raging river calls out to his dog, “Lassie, get help!”

In the second panel we see Lassie on a psychiatrist’s couch.

We are living in the “self-help” generation, and yet so much of this self-help comes from outside ourselves. Well, what if we actually DID develop the inner resources to be truly helpful to ourselves? What if we able to find and cultivate an inner voice that is wise and loving, gentle yet firm, that speaks softly yet with authority? And what if this voice can provide comfort and wisdom, not just for our internal crises, but in dealing with the external ones as well?

Our guest on Wiki Politiki this week Robert Strock, a psychotherapist in practice for half a century, developed what he calls “awareness that heals” while dealing with a dire personal crisis. 25 years ago, a hereditary condition required him undergo a kidney transplant. The medications he had to take to prevent the new organ from being rejected by his system created a chemical and emotional imbalance that left him alienated from his own emotions and own self. “It was as though I had a ‘heart-ectomy’. I felt as if my heart had been taken away.”

In response to his crisis, he was able to find an inner guide that allowed him to accept his feelings and hear the messages clearly from the intuitive intelligence of his own heart. (Or as Chris Padgett put it in his book of the same name, “I’m not okay, you’re not okay … but it’s okay!”) By cultivating what he terms “the friendly mind”, Robert Strock saw his way through his own crisis, and found similar heartening results with his therapy clients.

Robert Strock, L.M.F.T. has been in private practice for nearly 50 years, and is the originator of “Humanistic Spirituality”, a way to access “invisible” resources without the burden of religious dogma. He has co-f0unded the Global Bridge Foundation whose purpose is to “contribute to the creation of a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world that honors the dignity of all beings.” He is also the originator or “Psycho-Economics” (not to be confused with the “psycho economics” that seems to have been in charge of our system for the past two generations) and more recently “Psycho-Politics”, both of which help us use our inner resources to face and transform global challenges.

If you’re ready to discover and cultivate an inner resource you probably didn’t know you had, please tune in this Tuesday, January 28th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/

Lisa Berry – Self-Talk Transformation: Unconscious Success

Aired Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at 10:00 AM PST / 1:00 PM EST

It matters how we talk to ourselves. In fact, self-talk is its own unique language. It may not occur to us from moment to moment, but we talk to ourselves constantly, and we feed ourselves with messages. Are we feeding ourselves love and positivity, or are we forcing ourselves to swallow garbage? How often do we actually pause to think about it?

No matter where we are or what we’re doing, our minds are always racing, leaping from one thought to another. In other words, we are talking to ourselves. We chatter, and our mind chatter has meaning. It has meaning because it directs and influences the course of our lives. We can use it to create wealth, happiness, and prosperity, and we can also use it to make a world of poverty, sickness, and fear. The beauty of it is that we get to decide. We get to consciously select thoughts that will go to work for us and program our subconscious mind, so that we’re always moving in the direction of success and our highest Self.

Join me this week for an encore appearance by my longtime friend Lisa Berry as our Guest Teacher! Lisa is the host of Light on Living on OMTimes Radio and a podcast trainer. Her motto is “Wellness for all” and she returns to the show with her trademark joy, exuberance, and vi-brant energy. This week she continues our discussion of self-talk trans-formation, answers listener questions, and helps us “workshop our minds” by addressing listeners’ real-life self-talk scenarios.

You can look forward to even more fun this week! Learn some valuable tips about orienting your mind and life toward happiness and prosperity. In other words, recognize how you are getting in your own way and learn some easy techniques for getting out of it. Join us—happiness awaits you!
