INNER REVOLUTION: 4 - Anxiety and Worry
This is episode 4 of INNER REVOLUTION - a podcast series where we walk through the fire of inner transformation and awakening together. The purpose of this series is to help you shed ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that isn't a true reflection of Who You Really Are, so you can fully embody your Divinity, Light, and Sacred Mission. In this fourth installment, we'll focus on anxiety and worry as some specific forms of FEAR. Because they can take up so much mental and emotional space, worry & anxiety disconnect you from your intuition and inner wisdom. They make it challenging to listen to your Wise Inner Voice. The energies of worry and anxiety keep you locked in your egoic mind - the part of your brain that wants to anticipate and avoid any potential problems (often creating problems where there are none!). Join me for a discussion of: how worry & anxiety lead to mental rumination, which disconnects you from your true Inner Guidance the egoic tendency to jump to the past or the future understanding the multiple subpersonalities within you and how they can have their own particular energies working with the parts of you that normally carry anxiety and/or worry (such as "The Chronic Worrier" or "The Anxious One") a step-by-step process to identify and work through specific worries & fears  ******* You're lovingly invited to join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course + weekly newsletter: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Explore the next round of my Akashic Records Certification Program: https://josephinehardman.com/work-with-me/akashic-records-certification-program/ Connect through my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

INNER REVOLUTION is a podcast series where we walk through the fire of inner transformation and awakening together.

INNER REVOLUTION: 1 - Awakening
It's time for a new podcast series!! When we do our inner work genuinely and with commitment, it often sparks an INNER REVOLUTION... ... where our inner state of being, our frequency, our inner composition – what we’re made of, how we show up in the world, how we feel about and see ourselves and others, how we approach life, our inner dialogue, all of this – is transformed and alchemized. This process of transformation, if we’re REALLY in it, can be revolutionizing to our sense of self; it can help us become more of who we really are, which means we have to let go of anything that isn’t true for us. In this podcast series - appropriately titled "Inner Revolution" - we'll walk through the fire of inner transformation and awakening together. (The invitation: Fire Walk With Me.) The purpose of this series is to help you shed ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that isn't a true reflection of Who You Really Are, so you can fully embody your Divinity, Light, and Sacred Mission. We take ownership of our personal inner work in this way so we can raise consciousness on this planet and contribute to humanity's COLLECTIVE AWAKENING. The time is now. This will take work, commitment, open-heartedness, and a willingness to face and honor both your Shadow and your Light. If you're ready - let's begin. ******* You're lovingly invited to join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course + weekly newsletter: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Explore the next round of my Akashic Records Certification Program: https://josephinehardman.com/work-with-me/akashic-records-certification-program/ Connect through my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

Inner Work 253: When Family & Friends Don't Understand Your Spiritual Path
Has it been challenging to try to explain your spiritual awakening to family, friends, co-workers, or other people in your life? In many cases, it can feel like people don't understand your spiritual path, are judgmental about it, or just don't want to hear about your spiritual experiences and the great impact they've had on your life. The more healing work you do on yourself, the more distance may develop between you and some of the people in your life - even ones you used to be really close with. This can be a common aspect of walking the spiritual path, and also a challenging one. Join me for this episode of INNER WORK, where we'll talk about: why family, friends, and loved ones may not understand your spiritual awakening and spiritual path the stark difference when we operate from ordinary (or egoic) consciousness versus non-ordinary (or transpersonal) consciousness why misunderstandings happen: are you speaking from your Soul, and they're hearing you through their ego? the importance of discernment when sharing with others protecting the sanctity of your spiritual growth and experiences I hope something here is useful for you! *** Join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Visit my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

Inner Work 252: Expand Your Capacity to Receive Goodness and Abundance (Akashic Records Meditation)
As a healing tool, one of the (many) things the Akashic Records can help you do is expand your capacity to receive goodness.   I mean "goodness" in all its forms, including: support from others, aligned relationships and friendships, aligned opportunities, expansion, joy, physical well-being, energetic well-being, material abundance... and more.   The Records can help you feel WORTHY of goodness.   They can help you release old, false, outdated, limiting ideas of yourself as unworthy or undeserving of goodness in your life.   In this new meditation, I guide you through a process to connect to the Akashic Records together, be held in that transformational and loving field, and - from there - expand your capacity to receive abundance from the Universe.   We'll also dismantle false and burdensome beliefs such as: "I must be productive at all times to deserve goodness" "I must prove my value to be considered worthy" "my worth is tied to my productivity and accomplishments" "if I receive more abundance in my life, it takes away from others" "I'm responsible for others' connection to their own goodness" and many others. Please let me know how this experience goes for you by emailing me@josephinehardman.com *** Join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Visit my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

Inner Work 251: Shattering the illusion of self-lack
Have you "bought" into the idea of self-lack? We've all been conditioned, taught, or shown by others (consciously or unconsciously) to believe that we're lacking in some way. This can affect how we see ourselves, our self-perception, and what we believe we're capable of doing, having, and being now. Self-lack refers to the belief or idea that we're somehow not (good) enough, deficient, flawed, or missing something important within ourselves. BUT, at the end of the day... self-lack is just that: an idea. Nothing more.  In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll talk about how to begin dismantling and letting go of this false idea - or illusion - of self-lack, so you can show up as your Whole, Authentic, Full Self in this lifetime. I hope something here is useful for you today! *** Join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Visit my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.
