(17:43) “Every choice that you make is either getting you further towards alignment or further away from alignment” -- Rosie Acosta

Noticing that the type of people you’re attracted to has changed recently? Let’s break down the science behind why this is! The original show notes from the Highest Self Podcast, episode 499, follow below:

Please enjoy this (re)cast episode of Rosie Acosta and Sahara Rose.

Rosie and Sahara dive into the science of attraction. (Disclaimer: this is OUR science of attraction that you can’t find anywhere else 😉) Rosie is an expert in attraction after having been in a beautiful 20-year relationship and I love exploring this topic with her as a newly single spiritual woman as I am re-navigating what it means to date as a conscious person in the modern age. You’ll be getting a nice taste of our mixed perspectives throughout this conversation.

In this episode, we talk about dating apps and how they only reveal the smallest percentage of who someone truly is and how they can be dehumanizing, how birth control pills can impact your attraction towards someone, specific qualities that both males and females are drawn to, how to give yourself permission to evolve in a relationship, our beliefs around marriage, and SOUL much more around relationships and attraction.

If you’re like me and wonder why we are attracted to certain people and not others, and why our type changes as we mature and heal – you’re going to adore this episode (regardless of what your relationship status is!) Plus you’ll feel like a fly on the wall listening to two spiritual besties have an extremely unfiltered and hilarious conversation.

This week on Radically Loved Thomas Hübl joins us to discuss the profound idea that our traumatic experiences hold the potential for incredible growth and transformation. They explore the concept that within each of us lies a remarkable superpower – the innate ability to connect and be relational. We delve into the notion that, as humans, we are not isolated entities, but integral parts of a collective consciousness. Through the lens of this collective consciousness, we discuss how our interconnectedness grants us the capacity to rearchitect and heal the scars left by large-scale traumas like war and genocide. Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey into the depths of our shared humanity, and discover how our experiences, both personal and collective, can serve as catalysts for profound healing and societal change.

By embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond and evolve through the challenges of our age. “It may take only a small number of us,” writes Hübl, “to establish a new level of collective coherence—to share our light, heal our wounds, and realize the unawakened potential of our world.”

Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator whose lifelong work integrates the insights of the great wisdom traditions with the discoveries of science. Since the early 2000s, he has led large-scale events and courses on the healing of collective trauma, with a special focus on the shared history of Israelis and Germans, and facilitated healing and dialogue around racism, oppression, colonialism, and genocide. He is the author of Healing Collective Trauma and Attuned.

2. Learn how by embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond and evolve through the challenges of our age.

It's so common to hear someone say, "It's all in your mind," when we tell them about pain. After all, even medical professionals often dismiss people when they try to seek pain treatment. This kind of mentality pushes us to power through regardless of what we're feeling.
