Summary
In this conversation, Liv and Meli delve into the multifaceted nature of truth, exploring its definitions, implications, and how it intersects with personal beliefs and societal constructs.

Keywords

Takeaways
Intuition and anxiety can often be intertwined, making it difficult to differentiate between the two. Having a supportive friend group is essential for navigating emotional challenges.

Summary
The conversation explores the concept of conscious coping and the distinction between healthy and unhealthy coping strategies. The hosts share their personal experiences and discuss the importance of being conscious and intentional in our coping mechanisms. They emphasize that there is no coping mechanism that is inherently bad, but it's the intention and the relationship we have with it that determines its impact on our well-being. They also touch on the slippery slope of coping strategies and the need to stay aware of when a coping mechanism becomes maladaptive. Overall, the conversation encourages conscious coping and self-awareness in navigating challenging situations. Conscious coping involves being aware of our coping mechanisms and building consciousness around them. It's about understanding our relationship with substances and activities and making aligned choices based on our context and intentions. It's important to recognize that the energy behind our coping strategies is what matters, not the substances themselves. We can choose to engage in certain behaviors out of love for ourselves or out of a sense of lack, and it's crucial to be mindful of our intentions. It's okay to have human moments and indulge in coping strategies, as long as we maintain awareness and don't let them become the sole source of our well-being.

Takeaways
Intuition is a voice of clarity that guides and speaks to us, similar to a fairy godmother or guardian angel. Distinguishing intuition from other voices within ourselves, such as the internal family system, can be challenging. Intuition often speaks without emotion or urgency, and it is not driven by excitement or attachment. Fear can serve as a compass, indicating areas for growth and expansion. Strengthening the intuition muscle requires consistent practice and intentional focus. Intuition is not urgent and does not require rushing. Urgency often comes from fear-based decision-making. Fear can be seen as fuel, but it is more beneficial to move from a place of trust and clarity. Intuition does not make you lazy or complacent. It clears the path for what is meant for you. When following intuition, things may fall apart before they get better. This is a purging period to release what is not aligned. Trusting yourself and your intuition is key, even when the external world seems chaotic. The liminal space between receiving an intuitive hit and its manifestation is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Building a strong relationship with your intuition and practicing listening to it is the magic that leads to alignment and authenticity.Sound Bites
"Intuition is a voice that speaks not from a place of emotion ever." "Fear is my compass." "How do we stay connected to our intuition and trust it when it literally looks like everything you're doing is burning your world down?" "Fear is an invitation to move into trust and to move towards dissolving the belief of what's going to happen if I don't whatever ⁓" "You might move the same pace as you would if you were being fueled by, I'm afraid I'll fail, but it's gonna be infinitely more successful."Chapters

Summary
In this episode, Liv and Meli discuss the question of whether healing can be toxic. They both strongly believe that healing can indeed be toxic, especially in hyper-spiritual communities. They argue that healing can become a distorted expression and an attachment that prevents people from fully living their lives. They emphasize the importance of slowing down the healing process and taking time to appreciate the progress already made. They also highlight the need to shift the focus from constantly fixing oneself to embracing one's wholeness and creating in the present moment. Liv and Meli discuss how deep healing mode can sometimes become a form of resistance to creating, and how they have found a more productive way of moving through the world. They emphasize the importance of shifting the energy from healing to creation, while still acknowledging the need for healing as it arises. They also discuss the role of shadow energy in transmutation and the power of choosing to create even in the face of pain and grief. The conversation delves into the nature of resistance and its role in keeping us small and afraid of our true power. They highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing resistance in order to access our full potential for creation. They also discuss the signs of resistance, such as the need to defend oneself or justify one's actions, and the importance of surrendering to what is and allowing oneself to be with the present moment. In this conversation, Liv and Meli discuss the potential toxicity of the healing journey. They explore the importance of recognizing resistance as a compass and teacher, and the freedom of choice in how we respond to the world. They also challenge the narrow definition of creativity and encourage everyone to see themselves as artists in their own lives. They conclude by highlighting the magic of healing as a tool to access our inner creator and build a life of joy and pleasure.
Takeaways
Healing can be toxic, especially in hyper-spiritual communities, where it can become a distorted expression and an attachment that prevents people from fully living their lives. Slowing down the healing process and taking time to appreciate the progress already made can help prevent the toxic aspects of healing. Shifting the focus from constantly fixing oneself to embracing one's wholeness and creating in the present moment is essential for a healthier approach to healing. Resistance is a mechanism that keeps us from actualizing our true power and can manifest in various ways, such as perpetual healing, rationalizing, and defending oneself.Sound Bites
"If you're focusing on healing, you're not doing the work in life. Like you're not creating." "The place that you create from is always whole and complete and ready to create. You just need to access it." "Resistance can be a beautiful compass and a lovely teacher" "Your greatest piece of art is your life"Chapters
