In this episode, Jodi introduces a very simple skill called “R.A.I.S.E.” – a way to stop distortion, become conscious of Reality, and move out of distortion and into peace. Recognize your emotions, feelings & triggers, ask for validation, invite feedback, spot distorted thoughts/false beliefs, and engage the Truth.

Drama is a strategy we all use to attempt to connect with others. However, when we are in drama, we are lacking in responsibility for self. Instead, we want others to be responsible for us, and/or we want to be responsible for others. In this episode, Jodi explains the three positions or “characters” of drama: the victim, the rescuer and the persecutor. Whether or not you realize it, you (and everyone else!) have an intimate relationship with all three characters—they show up in many of our relationships. Being conscious about drama empowers you to choose proactive and conscious choices about how you will relate with yourself and others, and to create deep, true connections.
Jodi discusses the power we each have to exit the cycle of drama, through making conscious, honest, responsible choices. If you are willing to become conscious of the lies inside our own emotional and spiritual system, you can change your perceptions and beliefs about yourself, and you will exit drama. Then, you will live in a space called inter-dependency or healthy dependency, where your relationships are truly loving, empowering and full of responsibility. This is living in emotional and spiritual connection with self and others.

Empathy truly is spiritual medicine. The act of empathy is an act of validation and pure love, where we say to another person, "I see you. I know who you really are. You matter. I understand how you feel, and why feel that way, and it makes sense." Empathy means letting go of oneself and experiencing another person's emotions with them. How do we develop, give and receive empathy? It requires vulnerability and a willingness to risk emotionally with another person. Empathy is a skill, and anybody can learn it if they are willing to be vulnerable, humble, and emotionally honest and responsible. In this episode I talk about what empathy is, how we develop the skill set to give and receive it, and what incredible healing power empathy has for any human soul.

The act of empathy comprises three vital principles of emotional and spiritual intimacy in relationships: vulnerability, validation and emotional risk. Validation is the skill of being emotionally present with another person, of dropping self and experiencing emotions of another person for a time, to accurately see and understand and empathize with them. Vulnerability is the act of being emotionally open, raw, and willing to share oneself. Vulnerability is vital in order to allow self or others to validate us. Vulnerability requires us to risk emotionally--to put oneself in a position where we could suffer pain, upset, discomfort or hurts. We must learn to risk in healthy, conscious manners, rather than in unconscious and unhealthy manners. Healthy emotional risk is absolutely necessary in order to create any type of intimate relationship with self, other people and God. These three skills create empathy, which creates intimate, strong and stable connection and healing.

What are boundaries? Why are they important? How do I make them? This week, I talk about personal boundaries. Paradoxically, boundaries are extremely important in relationships. We've each got to have boundaries to separate us as individuals, in order to be intimate with another person. If I don't have boundaries, it means I don't know myself.
