Why We Resist Change… And the REAL New Year is Here!
Celebrate the true New Year with Danielle as she delves into why January 1st doesn't resonate with your body or your soul. No matter what hemisphere you’re in, you’re likely not feeling new year, new you vibes on January 1. Instead of hacking it or crushing it, how about being the conscious creator while being fully supported by the energies of the planets and Mother Nature? In this episode, you’ll learn about: The historical context of calendars, including the Gregorian calendar and its divergence from natural cycles. Significance of the Lunar New Year and its alignment with planetary cycles. The Vision Builder practice, a holistic life planning, that is a non-neurotic approach to goal setting and manifesting. Danielle also answers three questions from listeners and Heart Centered members—beautiful and juicy questions about her end of the year ritual and practices, mantras and nourishing thoughts, and how resistance is a sign of change.

9 Limiting Thoughts To Let Go
In this episode, Danielle offers a guided practice to let go of 9 common limiting thoughts. With Danielle’s encouragement and gentle suggestion, this practice can help us heal the thoughts that hold us back—like feeling unworthy, being overly responsible for our failures, the need to do everything alone, and many more. We start by getting Heart Centered together, then we bring our limiting thoughts to our heart space for transmutation and healing. And finally, they dissolve in the Loving space of our heart. Letting go of limiting thoughts is an awakening—it feels like relief and Love. For deeper inner healing, lean into the Soul Qualities of Forgiving and Compassion and welcome the expansion and freedom this practice can bring.

I’m mapping out 6-months of classes on healing anger and all kinds of spiritual essentials.

I Open My Heart: A Prayer
A prayer by Danielle which emphasizes deepening and expanding one's being to give and receive love, dissolving fear and grievances, and extending loving hearts to all relationships and offerings. Real Love is a boundless energy. Sending Loving thoughts toward another human is never an energy drain. Ever. Forget the notion that we could feel “too Loving.” Remember: Love and Compassion look insane to the ego. Our modern culture itself is an egoic structure (us vs. them, gain vs. give). Everywhere we turn, we’re given the messaging that the more judgmental we are, the stronger we become. That is false. May we all be full of Loving Kindness. May we all be so blessed.

A one woman show about self-realization from Danielle LaPorte, a member of Oprah’s Super Soul 100 and creator of The Desire Map. How do you create a spirituality that’s more rock n’ roll than oppressive, turn your anxiety into power, and live more deeply but lighten up? Danielle keeps it practical while riffing on the divine—from compassion and self-help fatigue, to sex, joy, and serving the world. She is, as Eve Ensler describes, “a force field of energy, wonder, humor, and love”, and her authenticity will have you feeling a little less crazy, full of possibility, and clearly part of the solution.
