					<description><![CDATA[<p>Robert kicks off the episode with a guided meditation. Relax into his words as he grounds into the moment and melts defenses that may be blocking you from accessing your inner wisdom and heart space. Using the Introspective Guides, Robert delves into how we can face our challenging emotions with curiosity. Recognizing that part of us wants to care instead of rationalizing or blocking challenging emotions is a courageous step. Robert will talk you through the tools necessary to develop from the first step of awareness, an intention to care, and a growing self-acceptance toward bringing that heart guidance into the world. <a href="https://www.awarenessthatheals.org/introspective-guides-am-i-looking-to-be-aware-of-where-i-am-not-episode-85/"> Listen to this episode . . .</a></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Pretty much everyone you talk to these days has some emotions related to the country, gun control, global warming, or the war in Ukraine with an awareness of being overwhelmed. What isn't reliably there is the question, Do I want to care for this emotion and How can I navigate in the world with some positivity? Robert and Dave will continue their focus from last week with specific challenges unique to the anxiety, fear, anger, and terror many of us are experiencing in response to the dire problems facing the planet and the increased authoritarianism in the world today. <a href="https://www.awarenessthatheals.org/moving-past-the-overwhelm-of-a-globe-in-crisis-episode-84/"> Read More . . .</a></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Here we are, listening to the news and hearing about elections, global warming, the dangers of nuclear war, the invasion of Ukraine, and we are feeling freaked out. Wherever you are on the political spectrum you are bound to be dealing with some level of anxiety connected to the direction our world and country are going. Robert and Dave assure us this is perfectly normal, and in fact, a good sign you want to be engaged and paying attention. <a href="https://www.awarenessthatheals.org/introspective-guides-relating-to-the-dangers-in-our-world-today-episode-83/"> Listen to this episode . . .</a></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Most of us view anger and resistant emotions as something that we want to avoid. The idea of being with our anger and having a relationship with it is not something we have normally been taught. Robert presents an alternative for caring for ourselves while we are challenged in this way. These steps are a guide to setting up the ideal conditions for us to be fulfilled in our individual lives and to contribute to the world by living in a proactive constructive way, rather than be weakened by being reactive. <a href="https://www.awarenessthatheals.org/introspective-guides-how-anger-can-serve-us-episode-82/"> Listen to this episode . . .</a></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Robert shares his journey, with Dave by his side, as he learned to coexist with the deep discomfort, pain, and imbalance of his kidney transplant medication. Feeling good was inaccessible for 10 years. Through this path, he developed a deepening of his practice inquiry by asking questions of what was truly possible given his state of exhaustion from sleep deprivation, which was due to an unusual reaction to the transplant medication. Following the inquiry, he received guidance that led him to focus on what was truly possible. <a href="https://www.awarenessthatheals.org/developing-a-wise-friendly-mind-when-it-matter-most-episode-79/"> Listen to this episode . . .</a></p>
