Description

The subconscious mind has enormous influence over the day-to-day living of our lives. We each have patterns that were formed at the very early stages of our lives, but these continue to still play out decades later, and not always in healthy ways. In her book, The Seven Gates: Seven Steps Beyond Self-Awareness, Frances Yahia explores a model for understanding why we attract patterns in our lives and how we can shift the subconscious to stop repeating unhealthy, subconscious patterns. The result is a way of living life consciously and authentically, being the truest version of ourselves.

Guest Bio

Frances Yahia is a mental health counselor, akashic records reader, archetypal astrologer, podcast host, author and college professor. She earned her Ph.D. in Mental Health Counseling from Barry University and has studied metaphysics for more than three decades. Having been born into a cult, and finally freeing herself and her children 33 years later; Frances is concerned that cults and other coercive spiritual groups/teachings/techniques are on the rise. The therapy model and techniques she uses are based on universal laws and are designed to liberate individuals and restore self-love, self-empowerment and self-worth. Her background in mental health counseling and metaphysics helped her create therapeutic models that help her clients gain personal insights and unlock the power of their own intuition by removing destructive subconscious programming. Dr. Frances Yahia serves clients nationally and internationally and her mission is to help everyone free themselves from any source of spiritual coercion.

EP131: The Case for Kindness with Bruce Reyes-Chow May 25, 2021

Show notes

For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/episode131/

Description

When we're not really thinking about it, we might define kindness as being nice, polite and agreeable. But Bruce Reyes-Chow, author of In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World, looks a few layers deeper. To Bruce, kindness is a decision to use every interaction as an opportunity build up the people in our lives. Kindness takes courage, practice and, at times, herculean restraint, but it's our pathway to healing, wholeness, and hope in ourselves and the world. It's an adventure of discovery and rediscovery of kindness of heart, mind, spirit, and action.

Guest Bio

Bruce Reyes-Chow is a kindness enthusiast. A Presbyterian pastor, leadership coach, spouse of 30 years, and parent to three children, he has spent the past 25 years working with individuals and organizations helping them to work through conflict and change having to do with technology, race, relationships, religion, leadership, and change. He has seen most breakthroughs when kindness—the ability to see the humanity of the other and then behave in a way that honors that belief—is embraced, embodied, and expressed by all involved. Author of and contributor to books such as, But I Don't See You as Asian: Curating Conversations About Race, Rule #2: Don't Be an Asshat: An Official Handbook for Raising Parents and Children, and 40 Days, 40 Prayers, 40 Words: Lenten Reflections for Everyday Life, he now takes on what seems a most daunting task in today's world of so much physical violence, dehumanizing rhetoric, and divisive rage-tweeting—the defense of kindness.
