A New Mind: Non-Duality Featuring Gabriel Lugo

49m · Soul Focused Group Podcast · 10 Jul 04:00

Martin Friedman and Dustin Washington sat down with Gabriel Lugo to learn more non-duality and spiritual leadership. Gabriel was a former atheist that became skeptical and curious about his consciousness. He began to investigate what the nature of reality is, and he found many teachings that brought him closer to understanding his own mind. Gabriel started with The Law of One, but he was really interested in non-duality. From spirituality, mysticism, and psychology, to quantum science and cosmic evolution. Non-duality is at the core of its mystical teachings. Gabriel takes an hour of his morning to meditate and understand his mind better. He has found that finding time to himself has brought him closer to seeing everyone and everything as one. Gabriel also explains how non-duality is very independent but also holistic. Meditation is very independent, but he takes his mindset into the world viewing the whole world. Gabriel believes that our reality and power flow from within us. Our mind is the portal to our true selves, and by implementing everyday spiritual practices we learn more about ourselves.

A New Mind: Healing Our Wounded Inner Child

Hank Azaria and Cyndi Carnaghi-Collins continue their discussion on healing the wounded inner child in this new podcast. Our Chief Operations Officer, Dustin Washington, opens this episode by asking our guests to share their experiences with their inner child while working in social justice. Social justice work is important to our future, but it also create spaces where we are trying to create change without healing. Cyndi found herself exhausted in the social justice movement after she realized how much work she had put in and it still didn’t feel like a lot of change. This exhaustion and frustration can lead to us acting as wounded children in our everyday work. Cyndi shares how she felt the most love and success when she was able to enter spaces with a healed inner child. In the second segment of this episode Cyndi and Hank explore the internal pain many of us have from our childhoods. If we do not learn to identify and accept our internal pain we cannot help heal this world. Hank and Cyndi have both found that identifying their childhood triggers has helped them heal their wounded inner child. Their end goal was to understand their feelings to find better reactions that worked for them and the important people in their lives.

A New Mind: The Inner Child Featuring Hank Azaria & Cyndi Carnaghi-Collins

Our Chief Operations Officer, Dustin Washington, leads our new podcast on healing our wounded inner child. He is joined by Hank Azaria and Cyndi Carnaghi-Collins to discuss their journey in healing their inner child, and how they created a new mind that works for them. The wounded inner child is an unhealed part of us that was formed by our survival strategies that help us ignore our trauma. Hank and Cyndi begin this episode with their definitions of the inner child, and what healing tools have helped them in their journey. Hank believes that no trauma outweighs the other, and that we are all walking around with a wounded inner child as a result from our socialization. Cyndi describes the inner child as a piece of her that she never got to fully express. She goes on to explain how our childhood experiences can cause us to form habits as adults. Cyndi had to look deeply inside of herself to find the cause of her anxiety, and she found that her instability during her childhood was the root. Dustin asks Hank to share his thoughts on the dysfunctions and costs the wounded inner child has on us as adults. Hank has found that a lot of the roles and survival strategies we form do not fully serve us. Hank found himself self medicating and forming a persona at a young age to cope with the dysfunction he was experiencing at home. These survival strategies served him well as an actor, but they did not serve him well when building important relationships in adulthood. This episode closes out with Hank and Cyndi discussing how they identify and react to their childhood triggers. We all are walking around as adults with childhood trauma that can be triggered at any moment. Cindy and Hank remind us that we are not our reactions. Healing our wounded inner child is a process that will take time to achieve and understand.

A New Mind: Spiritual Healing and Restorative Justice

Anuar Velazquez and Jerry Elster sat down with our host, Martin Friedman, to share their thoughts on restorative justice in the American prison system. Anuar is a former police officer and Jerry was formerly incarcerated. Jerry begins by sharing that restorative justice started within himself and progressed into building, maintaining, establishing, and mending relationships. Jerry realized that he brought harm to his community when he committed his crime, and that was a relationship he needed to mend to heal. Anuar also thinks relationships are crucial to restore justice in America’s criminal justice system. When Anuar was a police officer he felt like he was participating in restorative justice the most when he was building relationships in the communities he grew up in. The three men go on to discuss how restorative justice is reconnecting with humanity. We are socialized to believe that our titles are more important than our vulnerability and honesty. Jerry shares how he judged everyone in the justice system by their title and this caused him to realize he didn’t have the ability to see the humanity in others. To build and maintain relationships within our communities we must learn to look beyond labels, titles, and identities.

A New Mind: Innerwareness & Spiritual Consciousness

Our CEO, Berwick Mahdi Davenport, joins our Soul Focused Radio hosts to continue talking about innerwareness. Innerwareness is a Soul Focused Group term that we define as the way our first mind communicates with and directs our second mind. In this podcast M begins by exploring why he and a lot of other racial equity workers felt defeated. M spent years being a racial equity trainer and after all his hard work he felt like there was something missing from organizations and movements. He believes that the side effect to being social conscious is only being able to see the world’s problems, and losing sight of our own self work. A big portion of this podcast consists of our hosts and M explaining how self work is not selfish. We are often socialized to believe that focusing on ourselves is a selfish act. We learn from our peers that taking the time to focus on ourselves makes us self centered, selfish, greedy, and egotistical. We want all of our listeners to know that putting yourself first is not selfish. Christin shares how she followed her innerwareness, and found herself lonely after doing all the work. Becoming spiritual conscious can feel lonely when you are the only one doing the work. However, we can demonstrate how integrating our social and spiritual consciousness can improve our way of life.

42:37 The podcast closes out with a discussion about the power of our imaginations

A New Mind: Innerwareness and Healing Solutions

Berwick Mahdi Davenport sat down with our hosts Martin Friedman and Christin Farmer to discuss how he got in touch with his innerwareness during his spiritual journey. M explains how innerwareness is our ability to listen to our intuition and our intelligence. We come into this world and ask for guidance in things we should learn about ourselves. Christin and M discuss how the world gets us to listen to other voices instead of our own intelligence. As children we are discouraged to ask questions and be curious. M believes that we learn the most abut our authentic selves through fun and play. We learn the best parts of ourselves when we are having fun. Many people were deprived of play as children because they had to focus on survival. As adults we can take the time to have fun and learn more about ourselves to understand our souls better. Our souls are asking us to let go of our egos and have confidence in ourselves. M closes out this podcast by explaining how we can learn to let go. We can reconnect with our egos and let go of all of the doubt we have about being ourselves. We can use our egos to help us confidence in ourselves to be whoever we want.
