I don't know who I am anymore
Friday Jun 07, 2024
Friday Jun 07, 2024
It's been a long time since we last talked together like this and shared with you all!! This podcast is just us, sharing as openly as we can about what has been going on in our lives and in our own inner work, the challenges of working on patterns and self-identity, and the learnings too.
I have to say, we were both very happy with how it came out.
Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

From Victimhood to Empowerment
Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Sunday Feb 18, 2024
It is easy to sometimes feel like things are getting on top of us, that we can't catch a break, and that our own lives and what is happening in the world are out of our control. However, if we can learn to take a step back, we may be able to find meaning and opportunities in the things that are happening. We may even begin to learn how to become the masters of our own destiny. In this podcast we share our experiences of all this and more. Enjoy.

Breaking the loop
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Life can feel like it is stuck in a loop, we are not always aware of this because it is easier to ignore the situation, put the blame elsewhere, or continue to put the focus on making change in the outside world. However deep down, we may know that things are not right and that they can be better.
In the practice of Ren Xue, the cause of this 'loop' is seen as patterns, fixed habits of thinking, feeling and behaving that repeat themselves.
Seeing, understanding and changing patterns is where hope lies, seeing the reality of how life is right now and then making change for the better.
To do this requires deep honesty, as it is a human instinct to not want ourselves or others to see our faults.
This podcast is for anyone wanting to "Break the Loop", in their own lives, in their families and communities and ultimately in society itself.
Thanks for your support with our work, check out our websites for classes and private sessions over zoom.....

Making a Judgement versus Judging
Saturday Oct 14, 2023
Saturday Oct 14, 2023
This theme has been in my (Sabine's) mind for a few month now and I was looking forward to talk about it with Jay in our podcast. We ended up enjoying the conversation so much that it turned into our longest podcast so far. We hope you will find the time to listen to it, it may even help you a little in these times of upheaval.
We touch on how important it is to make judgements in order to help us make decisions but at the same time this does not have to be done in a polarised way. There is so much to this, so please have a listen to see if it resonates.
There can be great growth in this if we are able to put it into action.
Much bright Qi and Love to ALL.

How to deal with Fear.
Sunday Sep 10, 2023
Sunday Sep 10, 2023
The impact of fear shows in many ways, for example our health, wellbeing and our ability to achieve the type of life we want for ourselves. Even simply, to be happy. Some fear is obvious, whilst some of our deeper fears protect themselves and stay hidden. We share about our experiences of understanding, facing and working through fear, and the challenges we have faced along the way.
Sabine and I love helping people transform their lives using the Ren Xue Toolbox, both in our online and in person classes and in our one on one work. If you would like to work with either of us, please feel free to get in touch....

Death and the Meaning of Life
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Death is such a sensitive subject for many of us, and yet it is something we all will need to face at sometime. Interestingly, sometimes when we do face the things that we don't want to look at we discover that they are very different from what we thought.

Ren Xue Life Development
Sunday Jul 16, 2023
With guest Fiona McLaughlin: Let’s talk about enlightenment, baby...!
Sunday Jul 16, 2023
Sunday Jul 16, 2023
In Ren Xue teachings, Enlightenment is the stage of seeing the True Self, at this point, all our major patterns disappear, and yet there is still plenty of work to be done.
We are feeling super grateful to have held this conversation with Fiona about her experiences of seeing the True Self and what lead up to it, including some beautiful sharing about her experience with opening the heart.
Enjoy

The Problem with Creativity
Friday Jun 09, 2023
Friday Jun 09, 2023
Creativity is the key to a healthy, happy life. But it is not just about creating in the external world, for example drawing or painting or even creating the kind of life we want on the outside. It is about creating ourselves anew in every moment on the inside, because fundamentally this affects all other parts of our life. Join us as we share our thoughts on what creativity is, where it comes from, what blocks stand in the way of it manifesting, and how to use it well.

War...
Saturday Apr 29, 2023
Saturday Apr 29, 2023
What if each of us were responsible for war? If war and conflict were not caused by the few, but, to different degrees, all of us? What changes would we need to make in ourselves, so that these common traits can be uplifted and become a thing of the past? Thanks for listening, enjoy.

Who is behind all my problems?
Monday Mar 27, 2023
Monday Mar 27, 2023
Human history is one of looking for the causes of problems, sometimes trying to fix them, other times simply projecting our blame and frustration their way. This story is still playing out today and yet, we are, to a large degree, no closer to finding real lasting solutions to our problems. The list of people and things to blame is a long one, but is this the way we want to continue to live? Thanks for listening.
