Our society has pitched us a defintion of love where anything goes.  That we're exclusionary and unloving if we don't adopt a definition of freedom that includes all ideologies, lifestyles, doctrines, and political views.  But the more I study the foundation of certain natural and spiritual laws or truths, they're not given to restrict or confine us. They're given in love to show us a blueprint of creation where people, society, and relationships can thrive, as basic psychology has proven. Deception, in it's basic definition, means we can't see the truth. So how do we know if we've been programmed and deceived away from the laws of love and truth? And can we look at our lives and take a sobering and honest look at the places where we might be deceived?  As spiritual seekers in a human body, it's always important to take an honest look at the foundations of our beliefs, looking at where we might have unknowingly been infiltrated with cultural and spiritual ideologies that seem loving and inclusive--but keep our world from truly thriving as promised.  Are you ready to look at the laws of love and see if you're aligned with truth?  I sure am. It's not easy to realize you might have been deceived as I am realizing in many areas of my life, but it's a humbling, necessary evolution if we're ever going to learn what love really is and embody it to change world.  www.christagifford.com @christablackgifford @womanscircle

Wow, do I feel like a failure on a daily basis. Failure as a mom, a wife, a spiritual person, a businesswoman.  Failure when I let myself stop and take care of myself, failure when I lose approval. In the past few weeks I've been faced with the reality that I've lived in such terror of being a failure that I've sabotaged my own success. I've been so petrified of FEELING like a failure that I actually do all the time--staying busy to run from the feeling. Today, I let you all the way into my pain, the bottom of my darkness. Learning to finally challenge my inherited definition of failure--& changing it to ACCEPTING myself, in every moment, no matter what she looks like. And when I do that...I'm a total success.

I opened up the @womanscircle in Instagram, asking them for questions they wanted me to respond to. In this weeks episode, we talk about the energy of money, the energy of abundance, & how to break a poverty mentality--no matter how much money you have in the bank! We chat about tools in the moment to heal nervous system dysfunction, what happens when betrayal crashes & I can't get out of heavy emotions, how to practicaly use meditation & prayer to change your world, & why I use Instagram filters at times! At the end, I put out a charge to everyone listening of your role in the changing of the world--& it begins with you diving into your inner darkness, becoming a master of your internal realm, & changing your INNER state before your OUTER state shifts.  You are the healer of your life, the liberator, the Creator. So what are you creating? (Make sure & follow @womanscircle @christablackgifford @iamlukegifford for more resources!)

For a majority of my life, I had let life's past disappointments numb me to what I loved, or even liked. Which meant, I couldn't FEEL the love of all the little things I enjoyed every day. But what if we could retrain ourselves, very simply, to FEEL love for what we already have? What if we could choose a feeling we love to experience, & then identify 3 simple things to consciously FEEL that feeling every day?  You CAN, I do this every day, and in today's podcast, you're going to learn how to do this. When we practice the feeling of love for the small things every day, we live in our Spirits--creating a FULL LIFE that we love.  (Mentions: @moonrisecreation @anjelahjohnson) Reach out to us if you'd like personal support navigating some of life's tougher circumstances. @christablackgifford, @iamlukegifford, @womanscircle)

So what do I do when I can’t feel forgiven for the really, really, really BIG things I’ve done and am doing? What do I do when I feel stuck in my cycles of guilt and shame, & my little practices of self-forgiveness aren’t getting to the massive boulder of guilt that’s stuck in my body? Sometimes we can't forgive ourselves. We need help. We need an outside gesture of forgivenss to come into the mistakes we've made, cleanse us from the inside-out, replace the blackness we're holding onto, & make us new. And this is possible for anyone, no matter what you've done in the past. In today's teaching, we'll learn 3 new practical steps we can take to prep ourselves to recieve forgiveness, and then the 2nd half of this podcast is a meditative practice to EXPERIENCE it. (Follow @womanscircle for live Monday teachings, @christablackgifford and @iamlukegifford for annoucements of new offerings, retreats, & experiences!)

The cells of our body relax into Spirit, our voice changes, our vitality increases. And this is a practice & skill that anyone can learn using our senses. Have you experienced the substance of forgiveness? Peace? Joy? In today's episode, you will learn how to emobdy forgiveness in physicality, learning to experience it at any moment.

When someone uses terms like energy, vibration, and frequency, most people immediately give it a 'whoo-whoo' label.  But what if your emotions create energy, your cells vibrate, and your physical body has a frequency? In this weeks episode, Chiropractor, Clinical Kinesiologist, and Chinese Medical doctor, Dr. Christopher Motley, sits down to discuss how different organs in the body process different emotions,   how stress manifests in your cells, and how to clear trauma out of your fascia.
