Did you ever stop to wonder about the causes of overweight?
What could be the root causes of overweight?
In my research and everything I've observed about human nature and our behaviors, especially considering health behavior and distorted behavior in general for more than a decade, I've noticed there are two types of people we need to pay attention to when it comes to overweight:
1. the obese people; and
2. the ones who binge, struggle with their weight, gain and lose weight all the time, and overeat.
These two types of people seem to have different motivations, or different emotional intensities when it come to their relationship with food.
Remembering that
in the category of obese people I've observed that, first of all,
We're not necessarily talking about obese ancestors, but about some very painful emotional energy being experienced by ancestors....
Did you ever wonder about the story behind physical symptoms?
I've been observing this for quite a while - consistently for about eight years.
I see this in soul healing group sessions and individual sessions, and
This means there's a story behind each symptom.
Whenever there's imbalance in the physical body, be it scary or not that bad, if you've been reading this blog long enough by now you know consciousness speaks to us in subtle or intense ways.
So
such as accidents, physical symptoms, diseases, and so forth.
So this is really about being Life nudging you to see there's something beyond matter.
Before something becomes an accident, there's emotional turmoil. Before something becomes a disease, there's...
Did you ever stop to wonder about what free time really is?
What does it mean to have free time?
After many years of wondering about my job, my career, my so-called free time, I kept asking myself -
Because we don't always do what we want all the time in our everyday lives - but does our routine have to be boring, hard-to-get-by or meaningless?
After a lot of thought, I've come to the conclusion that
So people work nine to five from Monday through Friday in a job they hate so that they can enjoy the weekend... something's not right there.
Or they work 350 days a year so they can enjoy two weeks of "free time"... also not good.
I'm sorry to break it to you if this sounds harsh, but if your job is not something you love, or if you don't love what you do...
The first step in this direction...
Have you ever stopped to think about love addictions?
It seems weird, right?
What does that even mean?
Are love and addiction compatible energies?
Conceptually and practically, no.
Love in a healthy, pure state does NOT co-exist with addictions or other distorted emotional or psychological energies.
In our human experience, "love" is commonly contaminated by addiction - or more precisely, attachment. The Greeks categorized love in many types of love, and there are three main types: Philia, Eros, and Agape.
Because it theoretically does not involve pain, it's usually purer when directed to abstract energies, most commonly in the form of Philosophy, which is love for wisdom.
Philia can also mean friendship when it does not cause pain. When it causes pain it's not Philia...
We're talking to Awesome People today!
Our guest is Michelle Gonçalves, founder and owner of Feminine Power Fusion in North Miami Beach (links & info about her at the end of this blog post).
As a fellow Brazilian, I'm so happy to see her flourish in the U. S. and to witness how powerfully and gracefully she has been walking her amazing path. Michelle is a real life inspiration and example for women.
I was very honored to be in her space yesterday to talk about the Sacred Feminine! Check out our social media channels to see it!
Here are some of the highlights of our interview below:
Michelle, the first thing I want to ask you is what really inspired you to move from Brazil to the United States? And then what motivated you to take this leap of faith and create this beautiful studio?
I think the first thing that inspired me to come here is because when I was a kid, I lost my father when I was eight years old because of a robbery. So for me it was really...
Did you ever wonder about how we escape from emotional pain?
In my book, Your Cardinal Connections, I talk about the concept of Spiritual Escapism, which is a specific way to escape from emotional pain. There are others, such as intellectual escape and physical escape.
One of the most common ways to escape from emotional pain is indulging, overeating, overdrinking, and exaggerating in "pleasures of the flesh" - which numbs our bodies.
On the other end of the spectrum, some people become fitness freaks (I myself went through a phase like that for a couple of years in my late twenties).
In these cases, we are
And we are not as aware of our bodies as we could be if we were willing to feel them.
Did you ever stop to wonder about how powerful our relationships with our siblings are?
One of the things that I always tell people, especially in constellations, is that, believe it or not,
We feel equal with our siblings because we're in the same generation, often with the same parents.
So there is a sense of identity and shared origin that speaks profoundly to our souls.
I remember I first started thinking about this strong bond before I was introduced to constellation literature. In 2005 we had a study group about Ancient Greek Philosophy in the University Center I used to teach, and the students loved the play Antigone by Sophocles so much they actually presented it in a cultural festival.
If you want to fully understand the deep loyalty between siblings, check this play out. It is a timeless work of art, and very practical for us to understand family consciousness.
Siblings are the most powerful...
Did you ever stop to think about the cost of lies?
Recently, I watched the new HBO mini-series about Chernobyl, and I was very impressed with the way they told that story.
I remember in 1986 the world stopped because of the Chernobyl disaster. I was eight years old and knew that a power plant had exploded in the Soviet Union, and that the people who lived in the area were killed and many in the surrounding areas were still in danger.
About a year later, something similar happened in Goiania, which is very close to my hometown, Brasilia. It was not as huge in scale, but it still considered one of the top 10 worst radioactive disasters in the world.
Politically, the way the mini-series tells the Chernobyl story, a power plant exploded because
Symbolically, even the political leaders there admitted that the Chernobyl disaster was an omen or \indication that the Soviet system was dissolving.
The reason why I...
Hello!!!
Today I'm going to show you some consciousness expansion tools, and some practical, amazing practices, emphasizing the awareness that you will get from this incredible knowledge.
When we genuinely feel grateful, we start creating powerful shifts in our lives.
When you commit to Gratitude, you start engaging in consciousness expansion, which brings abundance and joy to your life.
And a great place to start is to do The Gratitude Flow.
This practice was first published in chapter 7 of the book Your Cardinal Connections in 2016 and it
But it's creating discipline and patience in your life. So the good thing about the Gratitude Flow is that it's simple and extremely effective. I had a lot of people test this in different countries, actually people from different nationalities. And the...
Have you ever noticed that children need healthy boundaries?
Not only do children in general need healthy boundaries, but also the Inner Child we all have within (and this is actually the whole reason why I created the Inner Child Practice described in my book Your Cardinal Connections, so if you're not familiar, check it out here).
Healthy boundaries are important for children, for adults, and for life in general, right?
We all need healthy boundaries to establish limits that keep us on track and lead us to a beautiful, harmonious, balanced life.
So think about the energy of healthy boundaries and how important they are for children.
In my practice, I see a lot of people with this problem. As adults, many people in their families and social life don't really know boundaries.
Now most...
