This great lady Katie has released me out of my prison. My mind had many believes that became I. Now my mind can identify thoughts arises in my mind and it's underworld that rises with it. I practise her works daily. I wish her well. Thank you both of you.
I love the idea that egoic thinking appears to us specifically to be questioned, to be understood. I have heard Katie say that again and again, but something about this context finally helped it sink in more. I am going to try to think of my stressful thoughts as children that I shouldn't push away, that I should listen to mindfully, and consider from a perspective above the fearful reactions they often trigger, so I can help them become calm and peaceful, just as I would my own children. I get that this part of my mind is trying to serve me, trying to keep me safe, loved, inside the tribe, but I haven't treated these thoughts with any sort of compassion in the past. It's a conceptual construct, but a better one than the pushing away, anger, and avoidance I habitually employ. Thank you.
"it does corroborate the fact that I've known my whole life that I'm innately bad" ...Alanis, you spoke my mind with this one. I'm finally taking on The Work as a regular practice and I'm realizing that this thought is at the root of so many of my problems. And as I keep working, I'm feeling better all the time.
I sure do miss this podcast! Alanis, you are so real and human, it's like a warm compassionate light shined in your presence. Your new album is AWESOME, and was just what I needed when I needed it. Such pretty forks in the road, indeed.
Oh dang girl you way better then the judgement. Your incredible and an inspiration to us all. God bless you. 🙏❤ I completely felt your pain. Hugs and stay true to you🙏
Dearest Alanis, I felt soo connected with you and Katie throughout the whole audio. I can’t even fully fathom what a “celebrity life” actually imposes on any human, but from I hear it seems to be a pretty demanding ‘drug’. To me you are just a human being. A pretty courageous and open-minded soul that keeps giving. So, whenever you feel like connecting and happen to come to Germany, drop me a line - I’ll pick you up at Frankfurt airport, give you my warmest hug and will really gladly spend time with you/your amazing self. P.S.: I actually grew up on some of your songs. Big hug Arty
Bryron Katie is the best if you want to learn self inquiry! She made up a wonderful worksheet to get you started! True Self inquiry will set you free from all self destructive thoughts!
So moved by your honesty dear Alanis. Love the Katieism in her little book "I'm very clear that the whole world loves me. I just don't expect them to realize it yet." You mention the scowl and it made me think of Steve Porgess Polyvagal Theory ...the theory of which can be illuminating... 💫 Katie's work by far is the only way out because, as she says it's the way in. Love love love 💚💙💜 Even bigger respect!!! Xx
I just realized today that I created back pain (pretty bad now for 3 weeks) because I felt "guilty" about not wanting to do things. I needed an "excuse" to not want to do them! gezz! lol I feared I would be judged as being lazy - and who is doing the judging? Me!
Re: people not looking you in the eyes, Alanis... I would adore eye gazing with you. At tbe risk of freaking you out... (lol) sharing my projection: your soul is sweet and pure (balanced in dark and light) and I feel a connection with you that transcends worldly understanding. It's all a cosmic dance. Glorious. I enjoy this open inquiry, this invitation to engage, the freely offered information. In the moment of vulnerability lies our direct connection to GodSelf, whether it be in the context of Shadow or Lightwork, it goes straight on through... So much in this conversation resonates on the deepest levels of mySelf, a reminder of the Nameless/Formless All. Thank you for podcasting this wave of wonder.
Alanis, i met you years ago at my job in California at Osmosis Spa and i was so nervous and i wish i would have spoke to you more! We are equal and your Jagged Little Pill album was the first cd i ever owned and it is still one of my favorites. It gets me through so much. I am an empath and can relate to many of your feelings. I have no idea if you will ever read this, but i think you're awesome and much love to you!
The perceived 'separation' of celebrities and everyday people also reminds me of the 'perceived' separation between "civilians and military". We are being tricked and kept 'divided' by an illusion of perception, and maybe it's up to us all to connect with each other regardless of what anyone/group tries to keep the divide there.
This is lovely. Byron Katie is very lovely. 🙌👐 I've also personally been liking lots of Master Sri Avinash lately. #SriAvinashInnerPeace 👐 I find Sri Avinash's teachings really beautiful.
Thank you Alanis...if I may, for sharing who you are beyond the 'so called celebrity'. As an Intuitive-Sensitive/Empath myself, as I sit by myself in my bedroom, feeling isolated and alone, I long to have genuine people in my life...such as yourself. To have a two way conversation beyond the surface of 'masked Beings'. Hopefully, one day, I will have the courage to get out in the World to connect with others. I can't imagine what being a celebrity would feel like. or maybe I can. Much Love!!
As they say, courage isn't a lack of fear but acting even while in fear. All you need to do to show courage is to simply act. Take it one step at a time. Step 1: Stand up. Step 2: Put one foot in the front of the other in the direction of the door. Step 3: Open the door and walk outside. Okay, so Step 3 was sort of two steps, but I figured once we got to Step 3, it'd be okay to combine a couple of them. Good luck! And remember, like a muscle, courage must be exercised. :)
Alanis, you fucking rock in so many ways. Your vulnerability is your power and thank you for sharing your tears, your courage, and your thoughtful questions. Thank you for your spiritual work, it’s a gift to all of us. One of my greatest pains is being misunderstood or not being received as a mere presence (an empty canvas of openness), so I relate. You get to feel what being a massive screen that receives everyone’s insecure projections and fronts is like. Crazy shit, man. The irony is that they are wanting EXACTLY what you are wanting.
...i still don't have any audio, must be a kink in my wiring system. but i greatly enjoy the questions and the answers that your conversations provoke within my mind. Yet i cant help but to think, what IS love and why is it so important in a healthy, active lifestyle. thank you and i will get on listening when my audio kicks back in
it has nothing to do with browser, there literally is no audio option. because its free. sometimes free isn't worth it suki. personally i prefer chrome, unless 7 is an option then i choose 9. if i had a computer of my own id have a wicked audio option. =[ a man can wish tho. i appreciate your care and wish you the best of karmas for your care. thank you
I love these. Wonder if we dont see alanis Morrissey any more because she is ashamed of body rott? Like here face might be so decayed that it would scare us fans
I am struggling to find healing from when ego I think virbully verbal assaults like walking past me and saying fucking weirdo brake his fucking jaw ....why I don't do that to people if you don't like me fin but keep it to your self because it's not my issue he goes home thinking he's hard never thinking that I get home and cry my little heart out I don't know what to do with this issue Cxxx 💐🌹💚 Hedgmoon witch fairy
