Listening for Wellbeing

In the episode, Liz and Rani explore why we often find it easier to help others rather than helping ourselves first. 

Liz and I recorded this podcast episode a while ago. We explored why when problems seem complex, it is helpful to turn inwards to experience that space that is devoid of the drama that our minds get into. 

We intuitively seem to know when we need to slow down and rest but may try to override it. In the episode, Liz and Rani look at the difference between “digital” time and “nature” time and why nature is always a great teacher.

Some people say they are spiritual and others say they are not. Generally spirituality is put in the same box as having a particular religious affiliation. In the episode, we discuss spirituality as 'tuning' inwards and having a sense of that which is indescribable but manifests as presence.

Do we have a on off switch for love or is it that the 'feeling of love' comes naturally when one drops away from thinking about it and are simply present? We continue our chat on spirituality and its connection with life in this episode.

It can seem that the negativity of others can badly impact us and that we should try to either change them or cut them away from our lives. In this episode, Liz and Rani discuss this topic and share their experience of what is helpful to recognise when dealing with negativity. 

Liz and Rani have been asked by many about how best to share this understanding with others. In this podcast, they talk about their personal experience of sharing and what they have found helpful. 

Liz and Rani continue their conversation on Listening to Wellbeing. Here they touch on whether innate wellbeing goes away when someone suffers a mental or a physical health condition.

In this episode, Liz and Rani talk about a different kind of listening - not active listening, selective listening, or even empathic listening. They call it listening for wellbeing. It's a different level of listening which happens naturally when we listen deeply from our heart.

In this episode, Liz and Rani talk about two types of motivational phrases commonly used – “Keep Calm and Carry On” and “Try Harder and Try Again” and why we may be spreading a message that may not be helpful.
