Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell

The Golden Ray of Light

Ep #298 - The Golden Ray of Light - A Solo Show, featuring a guided meditation by your host, Susan Burrell

 

With the 2024 election days away I feel called to lead you, my listeners, on a grounding meditation to allow for peace and love to occupy our collective space.  Before I began the recording, I pulled two of my affirmation cards.

The first one stated: I am courageous and strong. And the second one stated: I am one with life. I am safe at all times. The world is safe and friendly. I am at peace with life.

I am always amazed when I do this practice because the exact right message always seems to show up. So, perhaps the world does not feel so safe and friendly right now particularly with so much fear swirling around but I do believe in a safe and friendly world.

And so, I invite you to listen to this guided meditation and allow your whole being to take in the words, the underlying messages and the love that is being communicated through the air waves.

As light leaders I believe we are here to hold a high frequency of love and to elevate our own conscious awareness so that by doing so we also elevate the conscious awareness of our planet. We are all connected.

The Return of the Archetypes

Ep #297 - The Return of the Archetypes - An Interview Co-Authors, Amit Goswami & Valentina Onisor

I am honored to welcome a colleague and former teacher of mine when I was studying for my Masters Program, Amit Goswami. He joins me for this Empowering Chat along with Valentina Onisor. Together they have co-authored a book called, The Return of the Archetypes.

In this powerful chat we look at what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose. According to both Amit and Valentina, our job is to balance the positive and the negative. We live in an era of quick fixes, information overload and consumerism. This is all part of the human condition.

There are steps we can take to become aware of the obstacles that we are up against. Amit and Valentina’s book sheds light on the work we can do to discover our mission in this life. And tapping into the archetypes is one tool available to all of us. It’s about allowing and seeing how those archetypes embody the divine attributes. Attributes like, love, understanding, integrity, kindness, etc. The more we can cultivate the divine virtues and values in our life is when things can begin to change.

Valentina feels that one of the best places to start is with The Enneagram, a personality theory that classifies people into nine personality types based on their core motivation, desires and fears. By understanding your personality and the filters in which you view life you can then become aware and have access to all parts of yourself, including your soul.

The ultimate power resides in the heart. It takes courage to tap into that power and allow that to show up for you and to lead from that space.

Hope in the Uncertainty

Ep #296 - Hope in the Uncertainty - An Interview with Medium, Hollister Rand 

I am so excited to share this fun and insightful conversation of Empowering Chats with my guest Hollister Rand.

All of my circuits are lit up. Hollister is a medium and the author of, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Afterlife but were Afraid to Ask.”

In this chat, Hollister and I dive into interesting topics and this new state of awareness of how we live, not only here but in the afterlife.

 I received Hollister’s book as a gift from one of my students and after reading it I knew I had to have her on Empowering Chats.

She describes the difference between Mediums and Psychics as follows: Mediums and Psychics can often get the same kinds of information but the source is different. Psychics get their information from people, places and things here on this earth plan. Whereas Mediums connect with spirits, spirit guides, angels, pets and those that have passed on to the other side.

Hollister believes that more of our ancestors are making themselves known to people now because we are reaching out more and doing the ask. And having organizations like Ancestry.com and 23 and Me gives us the tools we need to reach out. And for this reason, Hollister believes tribes and more ancestors are showing up in the spirit world and making themselves known to loved ones on earth’s plane.

Hollister also shares that when you are aligned with spirit you don’t have to figure out your life. The strategy for your life changes. Her direct quote is to “Live in confidence of the next step.” It’s not about knowing it’s about having the confidence to take the next step.

Hope lies in the uncertainty. This is a direct message that Hollister received from spirit.  This is where the best can happen by allowing the possibilities to present themselves and not limiting ourselves by our own self-doubt.

Hollister calls this place of all possibilities “The Place of No Fragments.” And I’d like to share a quote from her book that supports the place of no fragments:

“A place where everything fits together, where it all makes sense, where we not only see the big picture but are also an integral part of it. Sounds as though this oneness is what spirits want to share with us. One puzzle piece at a time.”

Ultimately Hollister feels that love is the answer. We have heard it so many times. And this is a love that we are only beginning to understand, the love of self. Because only from that spring of self-love can we spread love to everyone else on this planet.

The Freedom to Vote

Ep #295 - The Freedom to Vote - A solo show with your host, Susan Burrell

As the date nears for us as a nation to vote I felt compelled to share my thoughts on Empowering Chats. I normally only do one solo show a month. This month you get a bonus.

I believe we are at a pivotal point in our history. Both in our country and globally. I am grateful to be living through these incredible times. And I strongly believe that we can find truth and guidance through The Declaration of Independence, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you find yourself in.

We are all in charge of our own choice(s). We must pay attention to our inner divinity within. When we become consciously aware is when we can reach for the higher vision that our founding fathers had for our country. They were all visionaries, looking for a way to support a democracy of equality, freedom and justice for all. When we focus on the highest of principles, including happiness and well-being, then we can begin to actualize a high frequency of love for all. I truly believe this.

And so, ask yourself: Are you accessing a high frequency of love for all? Or are you mucking about in a low-frequency of fear that is manifesting as anger?

Take a listen to how you answer and if need be, consider pivoting toward the power of light and love for the highest good of all.

And exercise your right and your freedom to vote. Our founding fathers worked hard in creating The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States so that all Americans would be granted the same freedoms.

The Power of the Mind

Ep #294 - The Power of the Mind - featuring an interview with author and teacher, Joseph Selbie

The power of the mind is endless and far-reaching at times. Yet we as humans don't always believe we have the power to alter our health conditions. 

My guest for this episode of Empowering Chats, Joseph Selbie believes we do have the tools we need to tackle dis-ease and have unlimited self-healing.

Joseph is an author and a teacher, and he is here today to explore this subject with me.

Joseph’s latest book is entitled: The Physics of Miraculous Healing, How Emotion, Mind and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.

In this powerful chat we dive into the idea of unlimited healing and the science behind it.

Joseph explains that this is more about physics than modern medicine. Modern medicine is limited in the model it uses to diagnose health.  Whereas modern day physics is more energy-centered and energy-based.

It’s about learning ways to shift our beliefs so that we are focusing on our health – the positivity of our health in a way that feels correct for us, for the individual.

Joseph believes we possess 3 powerful tools that we can tap into: Emotions, Beliefs and the ability to connect to something higher. These 3 powers are the key to improving our health.

He also suggests spending more time with people who are positive. And reading and researching your condition. Especially important to read about others who overcame their condition. The common denominator among many survivors of cancer or terminal conditions is that they switched their beliefs.

Meditation is also very important. By meditating you can help yourself get in touch with who you really are and listen to what your body is saying to you.

Practice and patience with these tools and daily actions helps build momentum and shift beliefs to the positive.

Humanity's Growth Spurt!

Ep #293 - Humanity's Growth Spurt! - A Solo Show with your host, Susan Burrell

Welcome to the month of October 2024. Seriously, where does the time go?  Hard to believe we are entering the last quarter of the year.

The overall theme for 2024 is BE Potential. And the specific theme for October is: Ascension / Accessibility / Adventure.

As I began to meditate and explore what I would share in this podcast random words began to drop into my psyche. 

Words like: Become and Discombobulated. And because I like to know the dictionary description of a word(s) I had to look up Discombobulate. Here’s what I found. It's American slang. It means, confused, upset, disconnected, disorder. 

And I realized that has been my experience for most of 2024. I have felt out of sorts and disconnected. And at times it has been very uncomfortable.  It reminds me of what we go through physically when we experience a “growth spurt.”

And this can also be applied to our emotional and spiritual growth.

Sometimes chaos and rapid feelings of change ensue that make us feel off balance – similar to a growth spurt.

I believe the entire planet is going through a growth spurt. A consciousness growth spurt. Similar to what we go through as children when we are moving from our childhood age to our adolescent age. It includes getting confused, being disconnected and feeling exhausted. These are all ascension symptoms.

This is a good thing. I chose to see it as good growth despite the appearance of “negative” symptoms.  These feelings are an indication that we need to step back, observe and see what is showing up for us individually and for the whole planet.

I have made a conscious choice to be Gob-smacked. Another word that dropped in. It means: Astounded, astonished. And I believe it comes from a high frequency of love.  We can shift our perspective and see everything through the eyes of love by being gob-smacked.

I am committed to BEING. And to become what I am meant to be.

I invite you to listen to your inner guidance. Become gob-smacked in your daily living. What is it that is wanting to be expressed now?

Perhaps you too are experiencing a growth spurt.

Radical Empowerment

Ep #292 - Radical Empowerment - A Solo Show with your host, Susan Burrell

 

This latest episode of Empowering Chats is a recording of a show I recently pulled from my archives. It first ran in 2018, the year I launched my podcast, Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell.

I feel, actually no, I know that the words I shared back then still have relevance today. Perhaps more so, that is why I chose to re-run this show now.

In this chat I talk about unlocking the power we carry within. And about having the courage to look at those pieces of ourselves that we don't like. Places many of us don’t want to look at. I know I don't like looking at them. It can be dark, murky and a little scary.

And yet in life it is important to investigate those dark spots. And embrace all that we are. I call this Radical Empowerment.

It’s really about embracing all the parts of ourselves. The good. The not so good. The parts you like and don’t like. It’s about integrating all of the parts that make up who we are.

And about recognizing that we are all divine sparks of light. And when we don’t feel good about ourselves that light dims. And sometimes the outer pressure is where we look to get validation. To get grounded or empowered.  But that is not where true empowerment comes from.

I believe true empowerment comes from the heart space. Not from our mind. By stepping into this journey from a heart-centered space, I find it easier to make a connection with myself and with others in my life.

Anytime is the right time to dive deep and investigate our inner landscape. And as the season of summer fades and the fall/winter season approaches I feel now is especially perfect timing for us to go within and excavate what no longer serves us and embrace all that we are.

Rays of Hope

Ep# 291 - Rays of Hope - An Interview with author, Hope Ives Mauran

 

Hope Ives Mauran joins me for the latest episode of Empowering Chats. Hope is the author of “Love’s New Earth: Awakening to our Collective True Nature as Love." As I began this interview, I could feel all of my inner circuits on fire. I was tingling all over.

Her book is all about bringing Love to the New Earth.

I began by asking Hope to explain what the New Earth means to her? She explained it like this: It is a higher frequency Earth. An Earth where humanity is standing in an awareness of knowing who they are beyond the body. As consciousness itself. And Community, Compassion, Kindness are some of our primary values.

The book begins with the awareness that we exist in a field of love. It is there for us always. And it is there to support us and remind us that Love is always the way.

Hope also includes a section in the book about "The Rays of Hope," which are here to help anchor the new Earth.

This particular section has a listing of teachers, tools, organizations, companies and ideas that are inspiring. These ideas of  "Love’s New Earth" keep us grounded in reality. It is there so readers can come on board and be a part of this creative path of creating a new earth. This list is there to give readers a place to start.

This is the grand experiment. Exploring new ways of living, of uplifting humanity. Our challenge is to not resist change but instead to stay curious and find ways of creating a new paradigm.

Hope shared this direct quote from the book, “We are creating a new earth paradigm for the highest and best good of all concerned.”

Lead with Love.

Unshakably Well

EP #290 - Unshakably Well - An Interview with author and psychotherapist, Rachel Kaplan

 

I truly love my job. I get to meet so many interesting and fascinating people.  I am thrilled to welcome Rachel Kaplan to Empowering Chats. Rachel is a psychotherapist and the author of “Feel, Heal & Let That Shit Go.”

At the tender age of 14 Rachel experienced great trauma when the boy she fell in love with took his life. In her words, she became dead inside and did not know how to process her grief and trauma so she shifted into her very active brain, ignoring her emotions. Then at the age of 16 she started therapy but did not reach full -fledged healing until she reached 18. That is when she knew she wanted to be a therapist.

It took her until she hit 37 before she felt like her baseline of self-love was enough. And this was after she had already been a therapist for 10 years.

Rachel wrote this book in order to help others work through the necessary pieces that can make the difference between compensating for their emotional wounds and learning how to break that cycle and get to a place of well-being, so that they have a baseline of self-love.

In Rachel’s words, “I did this book because I didn’t want this to take others as long as it took me.” 

There is such a difference between feeling unshakably well and looking okay. Rachel feels there is a lack of understanding in the therapy world and most people at best are managing a part of themselves that feels very unlovable.

According to Rachel, emotions are clusters of sensations that signal something to us, but no one really taught us how to work with those and how to let the emotions flow through our body. We were conditioned out of our feelings. And many of us eat, smoke, go shopping, distract ourselves or find other ways to not deal with our pain and our emotions.

Life is for living and it includes feeling your emotions and allowing them to pass through you so you can process and move on.

Radical Innovation

EP #289 - Radical Innovation - A Solo Show with your Host, Susan Burrell

This month’s theme is Innovation, which means to introduce something new / make changes in something established.

Through the chaos of what is occurring in the world around us I believe we are being introduced to something new. We are being asked to listen to what else is out there and we are being challenged by what has been established.

I believe this is all happening for a reason. We need to pay attention because through this heightened awareness we are being called to align to a higher frequency.

So ask you, where are you holding resistance? Perhaps in your body? Perhaps you are blocking energy that needs to be released and perhaps it is in relation to something you are resisting?

Are you being asked from within, from your higher self to innovate or create a new way of managing your life? Perhaps your problems, or responsibilities or the way you view what is occurring around you needs to shift.

Consider introducing something new. For several years now I have been using oracle cards as a way of tapping into my intuition. And the cards I use are called Sacred Rebel Cards by Alana Fairchild. If you’ve never worked with oracle cards, I strongly recommend this deck.

Consider this. You are your own authority. You can lean into your own inner wisdom. If you find you are asking others for their opinion, or seeking answers outside of yourself then maybe, just maybe it is time to shift to your own radical innovative self and lean into your own way of being.

I am personally choosing to accept the shock of the new. I am stepping into a new journey, a new path of being healthier, happier and experiencing more freedom. Where in your life can you innovate? Shift? Change? Grow?

Ask and see what happens. Thank you for listening.
