“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” - Dorothy Ratusny We do not always have the kind of relationships that we would like. Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it; and at times it is because the other person is not able to meet our needs; our needs of honesty, of trustworthiness, of kindness, and of integrity, that the relationship is limited. Acceptance must also be the understanding of this; the ability to allow for others on their own path and journey through life; and to release our attachments, to what we can accept is not possible; not as the result of our unwillingness, rather the acknowledgement and acceptance that another is unwilling or unable – or both.

Acceptance allows for growth in relationships, even when the other person can't meet our needs; it means releasing attachments to what is not possible.

A Time of Acceptance

Many of us go through periods where we feel down. Often we try to push ourselves out of this feeling by giving ourselves a hrad time or judging ourselves for not being "happier". In this session you will learn to meet yourself with kindness and support yourself through the inevitable highs and lows of life, rather than beating yourself up.

Learn to be kind to yourself during times of low mood instead of self-criticism in this session.

Feeling Down? Nurture Yourself

Do you sometimes struggle to feel confident about yourself? We can practice speaking words of encouragement and kindness to our self - and holding belief in who we are as being more than good enough, capable, intelligent, and any other adjective that describes what is true rather than what we might currently tell our self. In this episode of Life Coaching WISDOM, I offer the strategies for building a more confident version of yourself, and for how to practice loving kindness directed inward. If you would like my help, please reach out to me - let me help. Namaste! MUSIC: Justin Woodward & John Murphy, 'sunshine adagio'

In this Life Coaching WISDOM episode, learn how to build confidence and practice self-love through words of encouragement and kindness.

Well, 99.9% of anything that you and I have ever worried about has never happened - In fact worry is like praying for things you don't want. This track is part of a 10 step series.

Practicing Forgiveness (It's For You)

“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” ~ Dorothy Zennuriye Juno ~ Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it. At other times, we are not able to have the kind of relationship that we would like. If the other person is unable or unwilling to meet our needs of honesty, trustworthiness, kindness and integrity, then the relationship will be limited. Acceptance is the understanding of this. Acceptance of 'what is' guides us into something better. Please reach out to me if you would like my help in the practice and the art of acceptance. Namaste. dorothyzennuriyejuno.com

Acceptance is key in relationships; if someone can't meet your needs, acceptance of 'what is' will guide you towards something better.

Practicing Forgiveness: (With Examples)

The practice of mindfulness is supported by the perspective of non-judgment and often we may find that we don't even realize that we are judging. This track is a gentle reminder to offer yourself some kindness as you begin to notice the judging mind. You are not alone and this unfolding awareness is part of the practice.

Mindfulness involves non-judgmental perspective, but we often don't realize we're judging; offer yourself kindness and know that awareness is part of the practice.

Not Judging the Judging Mind

There is something else that we must look at now. Now as we continue to navigate life; as we return to some of what has been absent; finding our way to a new and better way of life even as some aspects of this may take time to become what we are used to. There is something more than we are being called to examine; to change if these beliefs conflict with what we know to be the right choice. This brave new world that we are being thrust forward into is a world that must be founded on the protection of love and kindness. Kindness is Love. -enjoy this and with it, the remembering of kindness as love... xo Dorothy

In navigating life post-pandemic, we must examine our beliefs and prioritize kindness as love to create a new and better world.

Your boundaries - or even no boundaries - teach people how you expect to be treated. Learn to create boundaries that will teach people to treat you with respect, kindness, and attentiveness. Boundaries shouldn't be confrontational, rather they should be communicated clearly. In this track, you will learn the difference between a boundary and a rule, have a better understanding of what makes a boundary successful, and what they need to be connected to help you enforce them meaningfully. In the end, I will help you get started on your boundary creation journey with an exercise.

Learn to set boundaries that teach people how to treat you with respect, kindness, and attentiveness. This track explains the difference between a boundary and a rule and how to enforce them meaningfully.

Empower Yourself To Create Boundaries

As we move along the path of awakening, we are wise to, from time to time, stop and ask ourselves - what are we leaving in our wake? What is our legacy? When we leave this place, what have we contributed to? Have we contributed to making this world a better place for all, or have we contributed to making it a worse place for all? Are we raising the collective vibration, or are we lowering it? I invite you to join me as we explore these questions in the field of love, kindness, and compassion.

Reflect on your legacy and contribution to the world, whether you are raising or lowering the collective vibration, in the field of love, kindness, and compassion.

What Are We Leaving in Our Wake?

When we sit in meditation in the beginning it can be a little frustrating and we can give up too early. Learning to be in the body and move with the body can be a great alternative to just sitting. In fact, we should incorporate it into our routines alongside formal sitting practice.

Incorporating body movement into meditation routines can be a great alternative to just sitting, especially for beginners who may get frustrated and give up too early.

Informal Movement And Kindness

Right now in a world torn by differing beliefs; beliefs that have been taught to us by those who also did not have all of the right information; those who may have been living in fear, unknowing of what it truly means to live with your heart open and to be of kindness first and foremost unto yourself. Because when we learn how to treat ourselves kindly, that instill within us the examples of love and compassion; of teaching ourselves and our children how to live as our inherent goodness and to always do the right thing. Then we become a home, a community, a nation, and a planet in which amongst our differences we share the commodity of loving grace; of treating each other with dignity, respect, kindness.

Learning to be kind to ourselves teaches us to live with love and compassion, creating a world where we treat each other with dignity and respect.

Why We Keep Meditating

One key to restoring vision and unlocking purpose is a soft heart. Love, joy, and kindness provide the foundation. Set to ambient music and woven with scripture, this reflection dives into how love is a choice, joy is a heart posture, and kindness is life-giving. The purpose is to remind us that our Creator first showed us love and kindness so that we may freely give to others. Resting in this knowledge will create transformation in our hearts.

Soften your heart with love, joy, and kindness to unlock purpose and restore vision; choose love, embrace joy, and be life-giving.

Restoring Vision: A Soft Heart

The ability to "relax" is an important prerequisite for our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Autogenic training's efficacy lies in its scientific foundation. Through consistent practice, it triggers the body's relaxation response, reducing levels of stress hormones like cortisol. This not only alleviates anxiety, restlessness, and worry but also bolsters the immune system, fostering a healthier physiological state. Moreover, its impact on the autonomic nervous system promotes a sense of calmness and equilibrium, making it a potent tool for managing various health conditions associated with stress. With love and kindness, Your Dr. Livingstone

Autogenic training promotes relaxation by triggering the body's response to stress hormones, improving physical and mental health.
