Radically Loved® with Rosie Acosta

Hi I’m Rosie Acosta. I am a Meditation Teacher; Speaker and Author of You Are Radically Loved: A healing journey to self-love. I grew up in East Los Angeles during the 92 La Riots and it set me on a troubled path for many years. I didn’t grow up with mentors in my life, so I turned to reading as many books as I possibly could to learn about life’s purpose. In my journey as a First Gen-Mexican American, I found having these conversations gave me insight, support, and inspiration. So, I decided to create a place where I could share these conversations with my community. The Radically Loved Podcast was born! How do we create a radically loved life? Come have a sit with me so we can discover all things mindfulness, spirituality, self-love, and overall healthy living. Please be sure to share the episodes that you love and also leave us a review!

Creating Space, Resting Well, and Moving Toward Consciousness with Rod Stryker

We’re so used to being busy all the time because we live in a fast-paced world. When we do find time for ourselves, it’s frequently filled with noise from technology. More often than not, we are not resting well , reflecting, and connecting with ourselves. It is only through relishing in silence and creating spaciousness that our body, mind, and soul will be truly restored.

Rod Stryker joins us once again to talk about the importance of creating spaciousness in our lives. As a yoga and meditation teacher, Rod explains the significance of honoring our human need for resting well. And for those who feel like they’re too busy to be resting well, Rod shares some workarounds and bio-hacks to conquer that challenge. Lastly, we talk about how we can deal with life’s pains and difficulties.

If you want to know the secrets to resting well and feeling more connected with yourself, then this episode is for you!

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Learn bio-hacks to resting well and creating spaciousness in your busy life.
  2. Find out why we seem to forget all our pain and suffering when we sleep.
  3. Discover how to deal with pain upon waking up from a delightful sleep.

Resources

Episode Highlights

How Spaciousness Allows for Resting Well

  • Life in the industrial world, especially with technology, isn’t conducive to the nervous system.
  • We have disconnected from the body’s four basic rhythms: the circadian rhythm, sleep-wake cycles, and rest and activity cycles.
  • Every 90 minutes, our bodies are meant to rest. When we slow down, we also become bored.
  • Boredom is critical to autobiographical planning, which is when our brains slowly begin to unwind and self-reflect.
  • This process creates spaciousness in our minds, and allows us to be more present and embodied.

Creating Spaciousness in a Busy Life

  • Using bio-hacks, you can create spaciousness even in your busy life.
  • Simply shifting from a narrow to a wide view can trigger your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest.
  • You can also follow the Pomodoro method. When you take short breaks, you allow your brain to go into exploratory mode. You’ll find it easier to work afterward.
  • In resting well, it also helps to watch what you do in the last 30 minutes before you go to sleep.
  • You need to be willing to step away from your responsibilities in your waking state and step into the mystery that is sleep.

What Happens When You Sleep

  • Rod explains sleep in terms of Yoga. As we extract ourselves from the physical, mental, intellectual dimensions, we move towards consciousness.
  • Consciousness is self-organizing, which means that as you approach it, you start to heal on all other levels.
  • Rod says that in sleep, we’re on the precipice of consciousness. We experience what Yogis call a floating delight.
  • In sleep, the body also enters a self-organizing state where it repairs and regenerates. However, when we wake up, we have to reconstruct who we were before sleep.
  • Unlike sleep, meditation offers an opportunity to choose how much of the “old you” you want to keep.

How to Deal with Pain in the Waking State

  • We humans prefer the familiar as opposed to the unfamiliar. We’d often prefer familiar pain to the unfamiliar cure.
  • When we sleep or meditate, life seems harsher because we compare it to the peace and spaciousness that sleep and meditation provides.
  • The solution to this challenge is creating spaciousness and separation, and interrupting cycles of hyperarousal.
  • During the pandemic, teenagers experienced mental health problems the most. That’s because they haven’t experienced enough difficulties to know that they’ll be okay.
  • Stepping away from your grief or loss reminds you that other things continue to endure.

Becoming More Conscious

  • When you’re focused on yourself, you’re in subject referral.
  • Object referral is when you pay attention to things outside of yourself.
  • We switch between subject and object referral all the time, but neither depict reality.
  • To smooth out the harshness of reality and achieve clarity, try to walk the line between subject and object referral.
  • Consciousness is in subject and in object, but is transcendent to both.

The Power and Grace of Present Moment Perception

  • Rod recounted how years ago, his two children got very sick and were brought to a hospital by a life flight.
  • He thought that if he wanted to be of service to his family, he needed to tap into the power and grace of moment perception by moving towards his consciousness.
  • Although it was a difficult process, Rob was able to access spaciousness and handle the situation well.

Parting Words

  • Rod recounted how years ago, his two children got very sick and were brought to a hospital by a life flight.
  • He thought that if he wanted to be of service to his family, he needed to tap into the power and grace of moment perception by moving towards his consciousness.
  • Although it was a difficult process, Rob was able to access spaciousness and handle the situation well.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

[04:12] “[The industrial world] is not a construct that's conducive to your nervous system to the human nervous system.”

[14:18] “Step away and shift the rhythm. And then we begin to work more in sync with the nervous system and what it really does want.”

[24:28] “We don't give ourselves the opportunity to have that patience because we've been so desensitized to being bored, to being patient because everything happens so quickly. We've sort of primed ourselves to having this instant gratification.”

[27:23] “We prefer the familiar, as opposed to the unfamiliar. And we would actually, in most cases, prefer the familiar even if it's painful than the unfamiliar even if it has the promise of being less painful.”

[35:13] “The idea is you practice awareness through the course of your life. You remember that you're neither your feelings and your thoughts, nor are you what the world seems to be doing.”

What Intuition Means and Using It to Connect with Animals with Nikki Cuthbertson

Many of us consider our pets as part of the family. They are not just animals but true companions for life. We grow with them, learn from them, and at times create connections that go deeper than our physical selves. Yet humans, with all that our brains do, can sometimes fall out of connection with all that is around us. It is through animals that we can listen and find the connection again.

In this episode of Radically Loved Radio, Nikki Cuthbertson shares with us the deep emotional and spiritual connections we can create with animals and life all around us. She talks about what intuition means  and how we can hone it. We also discuss the importance of heart-mind coherence and tips to help us connect with the energy around us. The world around us is communicating with us and Nikki shares how we can dive deep within ourselves to hear it.

If you want to know what intuition means and how you can use this in your life, then this episode is for you!           

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Find out what intuition means and how to develop yours.
  2. Learn about different practices and techniques to hone your animal communication skills.
  1. Discover your connection to all life and the energy within and around us.

Episode Highlights

Nikki’s Moments of Connection with Energy

  • As a critical care nurse for 20 years, Nikki felt energy during heightened states before a patient passes away.
  • Nikki also felt beings welcoming these patients as they passed on.
  • As you let go of someone, it’s better to send them off with forgiveness than with a grudge.
  • Trauma locks down and disconnects the heart-mind coherence. You need to leave this trauma behind to reach absolute coherence.
  • The heart-mind coherence is how you can understand and connect with energy.

How to be a Better Communicator

  • First, you need a quiet mind to listen to your spiritual heart. Through this, you can find the place that unifies all of life.
  • Then, you need to know yourself as an energetic being. Nikki uses movement-based practices to help connect to being embodied.
  • Meanwhile, meditation helps you become self-aware of your frequency.
  • After this, you can let go of being human and merge with the consciousness of other energies.
  • In this state, we are all connected with the energetic world.

The Main Message of Animals

  • Animals show us love without conditions or boundaries.
  • Nikki’s biggest goal is to love the way animals love.
  • Their love can manifest in many different ways and through all kinds of messages.
  • Nikki has had deeply emotional readings with animals showing their concern for their humans who are not mentally well.

Why We’re Conditioned to be Closed

  • Since we were young, we’ve been conditioned to fit into society and culture.
  • However, we also need to find a place to express ourselves freely and work through the layer of shame.
  • Humans have the power of words and language. Use this gift to uplift others.
  • Listening is a lost art. Sometimes we need only to listen to reach the universal emotion we can all relate to.
  • To do this, we should learn to slow down and pay attention.

Connecting with Your Inner Self

  • Many of us crave to have an overstimulated mind and this can lead to an addictive cycle.
  • It’s best to have emotional and primal tools to release energy.
  • We need to understand what intuition means and listen to it.
  • Empathic people tend to have self-doubt.
  • Through animal communication, you can develop confidence and connection.

How to Avoid Seeking Validation

  • We may feel that we need affirmation that what our intuition is telling us is correct.
  • We all have different dominant ways of communicating. You have to reach the same wavelength to communicate effectively with others.
  • Communicating with animals requires imagination. Nikki recommends that you write without stopping to open the language unique to you and your animal.
  • It’s hard to practice with your animal because you already know them. When you practice with other animals, you can have their human validate your communication.
  • Over time, you can recognize what intuition means to you and how you can get to that point.

What Intuition Means and Getting in Touch with Yours

  • Recognize the tangible feeling of being captured and mesmerized.
  • Stay present in that feeling. This is the liminal state or the in-between of worlds that has a soft and diffused quality.
  • Practice heart breathing by going through the three layers of the heart: the physical, emotional, and spiritual.
  • A heart-centered practice gives you access to a language that’s vibrational. Listen to the full episode to know more about this process.

How Can You Practice?

  • Consistent and regular practice helps.
  • Choose one of your animals that you feel is open to having that kind of connection with you.
  • There is no set time limit of practice. Stay in it as long as it feels good to stay.
  • There will be a sense of completion when you’re done.
  • Cultivate presence in the present.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

[08:05] “It's your spiritual heart. That place of thought, mind, and soul that we're constantly trying to polish to get through the layers of our being, and listen from that place. That place is the same place that unifies all of life.”

 

[15:40] “So there's these really beautiful ways that are so poignant of working with the animals in the way love can manifest in so many different kinds of concerns and messages, but the root in the essence of it is always love.”

 

[23:01] “Your intuition is kind of like your internal GPS, and your animals are pretty much dialed into that.”

 

[43:33] “When you’re cultivating presence, and I think that that's what the gift of communicating with the animals is— in presence, you're not in the future, and you're not in the past.”

 

[46:01] “For me, feeling radically loved means that I can see purpose in everything that I have lived to make me who I am… taking me out of anything that was my victimhood into really trusting in the divine plan.”

#WisdomWednesdays: Serving the Highest Good by Learning to Manage Emotions and Helping Our Environment

Throughout our lifetimes, we will undoubtedly face emotions that don’t make us feel good. As human beings, we are designed to empathize with others who are also feeling these heavy emotions. But where do we draw the line? At what point should you start to prioritize your feelings? How do we manage emotions  like these so we can serve the highest good?

In this episode, Rosie and Tessa discuss emotions and why it’s normal for us to shy away from negative ones. However, when we do so, we make decisions from a place of unconsciousness. Instead, we need to learn to manage emotions. Acknowledge the existence of your feelings and how they drive you to do certain things.

In the second part of the podcast, we examine the idea of the human race as one. We are all in this together. All of our actions affect the environment. So, we need to be conscious of how our behaviors are serving the highest good. It isn’t the time to bury our heads in the sand. One small step from you may be the catalyst of change amongst others.

Tune in to learn how to manage emotions so that you come from a place of conscious action to create change.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  • Hear inspiring passages from Unlearn by Humble the Poet and One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus.
  • Gain insights about how to prioritize and manage emotions.
  • Know what you can do to contribute to the betterment of our environment.

Resources

Episode Highlights

Discussing Emotions

  • Rosie shares a passage from the book, Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths for a Better Life by Humble the Poet.
  • It’s so easy to be swept away by big emotions because you want to empathize with people.
  • At what point do you draw the line between others’ emotions and your own?
  • Feeding an emotion that is not serving your highest good will bleed into other areas of your life.
  • Experiencing an emotion is like an automatic knee-jerk response. You could operate from a place of unconsciousness where your emotions drive your decisions.

How We Deal with Emotions

  • For Tessa, these emotions make her spend money on stuff like clothes. However, she admits that she wants to make purchases that provide a lasting experience of pleasure.
  • We know when we are doing things to avoid unpleasant emotions; it’s instinctual for all of us.
  • This is also because we have this fear of people not understanding our emotions.

Learning How to Manage Emotions

  • Instead of shying away, learn how to manage emotions by acknowledging and recognizing their existence.
  • Ask yourself: what is driving your decision to do something? What need is this decision filling? What aren’t you feeling?
  • Instead of being reactive in situations, know that you can manage emotions instead.
  • Make a conscious decision on how you want to proceed.
  • In the process, you’re teaching others how they should treat you.

The Premise of One Thousand White Women

  • Tessa’s favorite genre is historical fiction. She reads a passage from the book she’s currently reading.
  • Its story is set in 1874 in the United States when Europeans were colonizing the Native Americans.
  • During this time, the Cheyenne tribe’s chief demanded 1000 white brides from US President Grant.
  • The story revolves around what could have happened if President Grant agreed to this demand.

The Takeaway

  • Tessa sees this passage as an analogy of the unity of the human race.
  • We should ask ourselves what we do as a collective. How can we contribute to bettering our environment?
  • You can also create actionable change over time. How can you, as an individual, contribute?

A Global Environmental Problem

  • Rosie shares that she always wanted to go diving in the Great Barrier Reef. But when she got there, she was devastated by the water pollution and bleached corals.
  • We are quick to ravage the earth and its resources without acknowledging that it supports us.
  • We fail to see that what’s happening around us is caused by our negligence.
  • It’s high time that we educate ourselves and do our part.
  • Ask yourself: where are you allocating your resources? Are they serving the planet?

Having a Catastrophizing Mindset

  • It is a challenge to stay in the present and also remain conscious enough to make actionable decisions.
  • We see trash, particularly plastic, littering the beaches and oceans we visit.
  • These scenarios make the problems we face in terms of environmental degradation seem overwhelming at times.
  • However, all it takes is just one person to start picking up trash for others to follow.

5 Powerful Quotes

[04:58] “Accepting fear, confusion, anxiety, and whatever other unpleasantness simply means to understand it's part of us.”

[09:52] “When we feel an unsavory feeling, it's instinctual for us to want to not feel it. We don't crave unsavory moments; we want to feel good.”

[12:49] “You got to teach people how to treat you.”

[21:12] “How are we supposed to integrate with making a change if we don't believe that the Earth can support us?”

[24:27] “It's a challenge to stay in the present, but also to remain conscious enough to make those actionable decisions.”

Change Your Life with Ayurvedic Medicine with Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh

We turn to Western medicine whenever we feel any symptom of illness. Our automatic response is that something is wrong with our physical bodies. But if you take a moment to reflect, you'll find that these symptoms are often due to your lifestyle and environment. After all, we are connected to everything in nature. Thus, we need to live in harmony with it to achieve optimal wellness. Connection and balance are the core of the practice of Ayurveda.

In today's episode, medical doctor and Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh joins us to discuss questions around Ayurvedic medicine ? She shares her realizations after shifting from Western medicine to Ayurvedic medicine. She also discusses Ayurveda’s principles, qualities, and elements. Finally, Dr. Avanti gives practical tips on how people can start applying it in their lives.

If you want to know just what Ayurvedic medicine is and how it can help you, you will find great value from this episode!          

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. What is Ayurvedic medicine, and how is it different from Western medicine?
  2. Learn the three areas of remedies that will help you easily apply Ayurveda in your life.
  3. Find out how you can start making small but profound changes in your life through Ayurveda.

Resources

Episode Highlights

The Health Catalyst

  • Avanti self-published this book amid the pandemic because she wanted to have it out without delay.
  • The idea came out as people constantly asked Dr. Avanti if she had a book from her teaching experience around Ayurveda.
  • In the book, she talks about how to apply Ayurveda along with her background around the practice.
  • Avanti shares that the book is part memoir and is meant to be a primer on Ayurveda.

The Shift from Western Medicine to Ayurvedic Medicine

  • Avanti had a health crisis during her medical training.
  • This experience urged her to take a hard look at her lifestyle.
  • Avanti questioned why she had no health issues in the first 20 years of her life when she lived at home.
  • She realized that, as the daughter of Indian immigrants, she grew up with Ayurveda.
  • After setting her sights on medical school, Dr. Avanti didn’t look back on the practice until her health crisis.

What Is Ayurvedic Medicine?

  • Ayurveda's basic principle says that we can access and have optimal health and wellness when we live in harmony with nature.
  • It can get complicated because human beings connect to everything in nature.
  • Avanti is not a proponent of the doshas when starting with Ayurveda because they're nuanced.
  • You first need to understand what imbalance is going on for you presently so you can get back into balance.
  • Ayurveda is a qualitative science. It’s crucial to describe the qualities of what you’re trying to heal.

Understanding the Qualities of Ayurveda

  • Everything in nature, including us, consists of five elements: air, space, fire, water, and earth. Every element has certain qualities.
  • There are 20 qualities or 10 pairs of qualities in Ayurveda.
  • You can apply qualities not only to people, animals, and plants but also to symptoms.
  • The golden principle of Ayurveda is like increases like, and opposites reduce.

The Counterbalance Solution

  • Step one: Identify what is the challenge you’re having and what are its qualities.
  • Step two: Apply the golden principle.
  • Listen to the full episode to learn the application of the counterbalance solution to anxiety!
  • There are three areas of remedies you can explore for self-healing. These include routines or daily rhythms, diets, and the tools of yoga.
  • You can easily apply Ayurveda to your life once you shift your mindset and understand that Ayurveda is qualitative.

Tips for Someone with a Stressful Routine

  • The most important thing is to create a schedule.
  • Have some touchstones throughout the day where your body and mind can go into relaxation.
  • Start your touchstones with sleep, wake, and meal times; these times are the most important.
  • Eating warm cooked foods and fluids helps ground you and is particularly helpful for people with anxiety.

Applying the Tools of Yoga

  • The three main yoga tools are breath, meditation or stillness, and movement or posture.
  • If you have anxiety, it’s better to visualize a mountain versus a flowing river
  • because mountains are solid and grounding.
  • Lengthen your exhale. Through this, you can calm the nervous system down.
  • If you want to ground yourself more, slow down your pace.

How Dr. Avanti Moved through Hectic Situations

  • Avanti admits she didn’t do it very well in the beginning. She went through many challenges and even got sick.
  • She was juggling being newly married, having two young children, and being in medical school.
  • After stopping and taking a good look at the situation, she started to incorporate the Ayurveda principles back into her life.
  • Ayurveda is about awareness and living consciously.

Collective Stillness from the Pandemic

  • Toxins create an imbalance within us, leading to symptoms, illness, and chronic diseases without remedy.
  • These toxins come from every aspect of life.
  • The pandemic allowed us to take a look at the different areas of our life.
  • As we’re reemerging from the pandemic, reflect on what you want to keep and get rid of.

Start Simply

  • Western culture tends to try and complicate everything.
  • Yet, the most powerful answers are simple.
  • Adding something small can be life-changing.
  • Tune in to the full episode to learn some examples of small but profound changes you can apply to your life!

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

[04:44] “Storytelling and journeys that, especially for those of us in the healing professions, in the helping professions, it has a lot of power to it when you explain why you're doing what you're doing. And it is it really inspires other people too.”

[09:10] “The basic principle of Ayurveda is that when we live in harmony with nature, we can access and have optimal health and wellness. Full stop.”

[15:20] “In Ayurveda, there's a basic principle I call the golden principle, which is like increases like, and opposites reduce. Literally, if you just remember that, you can apply Ayurveda to your life right now. Then, it's just a matter of practicing these concepts.”

[25:28] “Ayurveda, this way of living is really, at its basic level, about awareness. It's about living consciously, about being aware of why you're making the choices you're making, or you know, what's showing up for you. And then taking a look and saying, ‘Well, why is this showing up?’”

[30:46] “We tend, in our culture, in Western culture to try and complicate everything. And honestly, the most powerful answers are simple ones.”
