Reincarnation From the Actor's Perspective

In this episode podcast host Irene Kuykendall shares a little about her spiritual background before diving into the concept of reincarnation from the actor’s perspective. As an actor, director, and theatre educator, Irene draws from her experience in the world of theatre as a framing device for exploring the concept of reincarnation. Whether you were introduced to reincarnation through religious teachings or cultural expression, or if the idea is completely new and foreign for you, this is an invitation to consider the concept for a deeper understanding and potential integration if that is in alignment for you. As always, take what serves you on your unique spiritual healing journey and chuck the rest.

Pride Month Special: When "Love Thy Neighbor" Feels Like a Tall Order in a Time of Polarization

In this episode, Irene, Host of This Mindful Muse, A Podcast, will share her step-by-step thought process for building empathy in a time of polarization. Major Takeaways: * As queer individuals and allies, it's more important than ever to be seen, heard, and valued. * The Law of One teaches us that everyone is connected, even those who cannot feel love for us. * The Law of Polarity reveals the light and dark in each of us.  * Learning to be nonjudgmentally curious about your own programming frees you from being a victim of it. * Learning to be nonjudgmentally curious about the programming of others helps us to build empathy. * What is unfamiliar feels unsafe, what feels unsafe becomes threatening, what feels threatening becomes fear, and from fear grows hate. * When someone behaves hatefully, take note of the fear and question their learned behaviors and beliefs. * Those who behave in hateful ways are limiting themselves by avoiding connection with so many in their human family. * Holding empathy for others does not mean we have to accept hateful behavior. * Being your authentic self and taking up energetic space is giving someone else permission to be their authentic selves. * Give yourself permission to take up space, let someone know you value their uniqueness, practice being the love, and attempt to hold empathy for those who choose not to demonstrate loving behavior.
