Episode # 56 - Our conditionings & experienced reality In this episode, we talk briefly about the difference between objective and subjective reality and which one we are really experiencing. I believe we are in subjective reality and support this thought based on what I know. We have very deep conditionings nurtured through our society, our parents, social media and etc. to see life in a particular way this is also assisted by our reticular activating system (RAS) which brings things of importance to the forefront. I encourage you to start to question and notice what you feel and if your reality is aligned with you or if you are conforming to deep conditionings that may not be aligned with you. To continue this conversation join me every Friday on Insight timer for a live discussion, this topic will be discussed on July 8th  https://insig.ht/DNhHyFcrerb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=live_stream_share Connect on social media Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/annbalkanski Twitter - https://twitter.com/annbalkanski Visit our website - https://www.rapidrealization.com Support the show

Episode # 55 - Ending comparison by unique acceptance Have you ever compared yourself with someone else when you are feeling bad or sad? When we compare, we typically see what others have that we don't have which highlights then a lack within us. Comparing yourself to others can be a vicious cycle and something we learned from our childhood as it's deep conditioning and even ingrained in our society. To break this conditioning we first must see what is actually comparable. Someone else's life or experiences could not possibly be comparable to you or your unique experiences. Listen to this episode to learn more about how to not compare with others.

This interview is really a beautiful normalization of a conversation that many find difficult but is necessary. We cover a range of things in this interview such as being present during a loved one's passing, acceptance, grieving, the reality of what happens and how an end-of-life doula supports and even heals, life awareness or awakenings with death and dying, and also the healing of the bedside confessions.  Ashley bio: With more than a decade in the death care industry, Ashley Johnson launched Loyal Hands End-of-Life consulting agency which is NEDA proficient doulas assisting the dying and their families to feel more confident and connected during the end-of-life process.

Episode # 50 - Vibe higher with emotional intelligence In this episode, we focus heavily on emotions and how they are simply energy or vibrations on a scale. We dissect their understanding of them in order to gain a deeper understanding of how to vibrate or shift higher on your emotional scale.  We all have a baseline of emotions that we are typically running within. It is within the awareness of that baseline or sense of awareness of how and what we feel that enhances our intelligence and control to change it.  We move through emotions not around or bypass them. It is through the feelings that we gain a new baseline or richness of emotional states that are more enjoyable or "vibrating higher". Sometimes those shifts are not to the over-focused upon positive emotions like "happiness, joy, or enthusiasm" but more of a softer or neutral emotion instead, and that is perfectly fine and right if it is for you.  Continue this talk with me live every Friday at 9:30am EST on insight timer to discuss more on this topic -  https://insig.ht/P1QWhm3Stqb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=live_stream_share Connect on social media Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/annbalkanski Twitter - https://twitter.com/annbalkanski Visit our website - https://www.rapidrealization.com Support the show

Episode # 49 - The Power of Belief In this episode, we briefly discuss the power of belief and how to begin to harness it and understand what it means to believe in something to create change. Using the example of the placebo effect which is done in all clinical trials of pharmaceutical approaches is one demonstration of how strongly the belief can be. I believe culturally we are just starting to recognize this as we learn more about who we are through various studies and research, particularly in epigenetics. If you are further interested in this topic, I highly encourage watching some of Bruce Lipton's lectures on the power of belief and the mind and how it relates to our physiological structure or genetics.

Episode # 48 - With Janalee Ferreira on Exploring the Human Design Experiment.   Janalee lovingly describes Human Design as astrology on psychedelics - however, the system incorporates way more than the planets. HD is a complete system that incorporates the I Ching, quantum physics, the chakra system, and the Kabbalah, all channeled by a man named Ra Uru Hu in the late 80s. However the system's power isn't derived from where it came from, but from what we do with it. Human Design is meant to be the ultimate experiment - using what we see in our bodygraph, we try it on and see what happens. What if we operated according to our strategy? What if we used our energy in accordance with our type? What if we were guided by our signature feeling vs. our not-self feeling? What if we leaned into the things we're naturally good at, even if that means we'd be de-conditioning against what we have been told we should do. In this episode we explore all of this. If you have never heard of human design or even if you have this episode will have resources for both.

Episode # 47 - Exploring life balance within the flow. We all can use a little life balance but what if the idea of how to create balance is the process getting in the way of the actual balance? Life overall has so many subcategories within it to balance, it's not so easy to say I need "work-life balance" and actually do it when work and life are not divided and cover so many things. At the end of the act of balancing life, we all aim to reach harmony, peace, contentedness or feeling more at ease or fulfilled with the life we are living. We may however be trying to create a balanced life around the things we can not control such as political positions or the country's economical standings. I believe then we have not found the true meaning in balance if it is disrupted by those things we can not control. In this episode, we pivot the idea of balance and focus more on finding it with the flow of life and surrendering to the unknown and challenges that one can not control instead.

Episode # 46 : The practice of meditation. How hard is it for you? Or have you tried it before and said "I can't do it because I can't quiet my mind", if so this episode is especially for you or if your head is spinning with all the different types of practices out there. You may already be doing some form of meditation and not realize it as well. In this episode, we talk about the overall practice of meditation, the benefits, and the typical whoas that causes people to stop or not even want to do it. I talk about my personal journey with meditation and how I too said many of the same things above but how I slowly incorporated it into my life even as a busy med-student and while working in corporate as inspiration for the busybodies out there who don't even want to think about making time to meditate.
