Self-Love is the Absence of Ego The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 108   ~ For you to heal ( with ) self-love ~ it must be embraced without a critical mind and rather in the complete nature of what love truly is. ~ 💜   Ego cannot exist in an environment of self-honesty. In the absence of ego you are forced to look at yourself and to see yourself with honesty rather than defensiveness, ignorance and unwillingness. And it is a choice.   To live out of your ego is to hold yourself back from the potential that you are and this includes the willingness to see yourself accurately, truthfully, wholly ~ so that you can do what is needed to define your path towards truly living your greatness and not defending mediocrity.   In this episode, I also share a short list to help you gain greater awareness of your ego behaviour and what to do about it.     + Our List of Self-Love Episodes in this Series: Bliss Meditation ~ Self-Compassion Self-Love IS Self-Compassion and Self-Kindness Q & A: The Self-Care You Need Why You Need Self-Love ~ 'ask dorothy' The Self-Care That You Need – The Ultimate Self-Care Guide – 30 Best Practices Bliss Meditation ~ Open Your Heart to Love The True Meaning of Self-Love     💜 Take the 30 day Challenge with me! 30 days of self-love words and actions of self-love.

Why You Need Self-Love  | 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 79   ~ Remind yourself... 'Am I deciding to be love?' ~ 💜   :: time stamps :: Podcast Intro  0-2:22  |  Intro to this episode and my 'live' sessions as Inspiration  2:23-3:12  |  What is Self-Love?  3:13 | Why Do We Need Love?  4:59  |  How We Learn Unconditional Love  7:33 | Elicit the Energy of Love  11:55 | How Do We Choose to Be Love?  12:58  |  What Does Self-Love Do?  18:21  |  The Self-Love Inventory (& The Eight Key Areas of Self-Love)  19:37  | Podcast Outro  20:32   Self-love as a daily practice becomes an artful discipline ~ a way of life ~ that you cherish. It is how you are able to be self-sustaining ~ through self-nurturing behaviours that grow your self-esteem and self-worth and reinforce your innate gifts and talents as you pursue all of your highest goals.   A return to self-love is how you feel whole and complete in each moment regardless of whether you are dealing with uncertainty, conflict, hurt or any challenging experience.   Self-love nourishes and reminds you of the power you hold in self-acceptance ~ to know that you are perfect as you are and as you continue to expend and seek more.   To truly love yourself is to be forgiving, generous and kind. To love yourself is to also parent yourself so that you practice self-discipline and live of the highest honour because this is how you grow esteem and worth.   Love is graceful and kind. Love embraces the humour in life’s moments and the ways in which you receive your answers and all that you need. Love honours the teachings that become important life lessons that you seek and create as the beautiful paths before you.   *Please reach out if you would like the full script for this or any other episode. askdorothy@dorothyzennuriyejuno.com      💜 Take The Self-Love Inventory here: Take the self-love indicator quiz to discover which type of self-love you need the most.   Upon completion you will receive a curated recommendation for how best to actualize the area of self-love that you need most right now.     Need a little inspiration for being love and 'gifting' self-love?  Work with me!     Namaste! 💜       Get on the list!  Sign up here to receive weekly WISDOM Notes 💌 in your inbox... from me to you 💜   Sending you great 💜 love...   Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Love lives as you look inward rather than externally. You find and reclaim what you once knew.   This is how you come alive in the brilliance of life that you live and know for honour is always the grace of your heart open in love and receiving the pure positive love of the divine. Honour is the self expression of happiness felt when you align with the certainty of truth.   Compassion is this love. It is love felt in the pureness of grace for one another. Compassion is an expression of wholeness as you open yourself to the goodness of your pure nature and the nonphysical aspects that live within you.   💜 Take the 30 day Challenge with me! 30 days of self-love words and actions of self-love.

Open Your Heart to Love 'ask dorothy' | A Bliss Meditation The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 105   “When you open the heart it thrives.”  ~ dorothy zennuriye juno 💜 time stamps:  | :01 Podcast Intro | 2:24 Intro to Bliss Meditations | 3:53 Open Your Heart to Love Bliss Meditation |    If you have ever lived with your heart chakra whether instinctively in self-protection or self-preservation or as you were hurting, it can feel like you are lost ~ you are alone and unloved even if you logically know that this is not true.   You have the ability to open your heart at will ~ to know how to live unafraid, confident and proud because to live with your heart open, you define what it means to know and be love.   A bliss meditation calls you deep into the wonder and beauty of what you are. It is here that you open a path unto yourself ~ to call forward all of the love that lives here (within you.)   When you open the heart it thrives. The heart as a perceptual organ of the body is made up of the same type of neurons that are also found in the brain.   As you engage with the heart’s wisdom ~ as you allow it to be what you perceive then everything that you attach to can be experienced in the same beautiful vibration.   This is the deepening of what is a most profound and exquisite light as the energy of love and wonderment that lives here – all in the name of what becomes your fervent lightness.   Take in my words. Let these guide you to what expressions and feelings rise up ~ that are perfect for what you need right now.   There will be space and silence for you to visualize based on the words you hear. Soften into them. Make these words your own.   Follow them into you.   Allow the impressions you sense and feel to flow easily to you.  💜         ~ Journey with me....

The True Meaning of Self-Love The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 104   'The more I practice being love, the easier it is to love myself and to love others.' ~ dorothy zennuriye juno 💜     Self-love is the unconditional state of love that you offer to yourself ~ you hold the deliberate inspiration for all of life that leads you here and into the sacred wonder of your heart. Self-love is how you express divine purpose and intention. It is how you live unstoppable in your belief of all of love that lives here and waiting for you.   Mantra of Self-Love: ‘All of the places of life that I seek to live and know myself best are also the means by which I live in the inspired consciousness of the divine.’   So much of the healing work that I do with clients is the journey of self-love. It is the sacred practices and rhythms that account for all of the ways in which we find peace within.   We feel loved and supported because of who we are and our dignity and we can call unto ourselves all of the ways in which love becomes the truest expression of our lives one moment and the next.   The love required of you is the love of your pure and powerful grace and dignity. It is the love of all miracles. It is the love that awaits you here and of this moment and to each moment thereafter.   The love of grace and wonder and life is the love of pure positive power and the miracles that you see and know forever.   The dignity of all love lives here with you.   💜 Take the 30 day Challenge with me! 30 days of self-love words and actions of self-love.

Is it possible to achieve states of samadhi and to remain here for some time even amidst the daily life situations we experience?  The answer is 'yes.'   Here we discuss the meaning of Samadhi and how to experience this blissful state by choice.     Dhyana (the Seventh Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Dhyana ~ Unbroken Concentration [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E100] Mastering Meditation as an Elevated State of Consciousness ~ A BLISS MEDITATION [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E101]   Dharana (the Sixth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) DHARANA ~ Calm Focusing of the Mind  S3 E98 DHARANA ~ Strategies for Focus and Concentration S3 E99   Pratyahara (the Fifth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Pratyahara ~ Awareness of the Senses | The Fifth Limb | S3 E65 Pratyahara ~ Freedom of the Senses | 'ask dorothy' S3 E66   Pranayama and Breathing Techniques (the Fourth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Why Taking A Deep Breath Feels Good ~ The Self-Healing Benefits of Deep Breathing: What You Need to Know  [The WISDOM BLOG] PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E63]   Asana (The Third Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Asana ~ A State of Being  [Podcast Episode S3E61]  The Seat of Meditation ~ Asana ~ 'ask dorothy'   [Podcast Episode S3E62]      The Niyamas Series * SAUCHA ~ Purification  [Podcast S3 E49]  * The Niyamas Series: 1/5 * SANTOSHA ~ Contentment  [Podcast S3 E51]  * The Niyamas Series: 2/5 * TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline  [Podcast S3 E53]  * The Niyamas Series: 3/5 * SVADHYAYA ~Self-Study  [Podcast S3 E55]  * The Niyamas Series: 4/5 * ISVARA PRANIDHANA ~ Surrender  [Podcast S3 E57]  * The Niyamas Series: 5/5   The Yamas Series * APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment  [Podcast S3 E47]  * The Yamas Series: 5/5 * BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-Excess  [Podcast S3 E45]  * The Yamas Series: 4/5 * ASTEYA ~ Non-Stealing  [Podcast S3 E43]  * The Yamas Series: 3/5 * SATYA ~ Truthfulness  [Podcast S3 E41]  * The Yamas Series: 2/5 * AHIMSA ~ Nonviolence  [Podcast S3 E39]  * The Yamas Series: 1/5     Meditation and Mindfulness The Five Best '5-Minute' Mindfulness and Meditation Life Hacks  [Podcast Episode S1 E15]   ~ Journey with me....

The first four limbs (or paths) of the Yoga Sutras center on the purification of body and mind. In the pratyahara stage, the mind becomes completely free from the interference of external objects caused by the senses. After the fifth limb of pratyahara, the mind will be ready to experience a higher state ~ Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation).   The larger purpose of achieving Dhyana is to take another step towards Samadhi, or complete identification with the Divine, the Universe, or however you like to imagine something that which is far greater than yourself.     Resources: The Yoga Book: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Self-Realization by Stephen Sturgess and Michelle Fondin  ~ dhyana-the-seventh-limb-of-yoga     Dharana (the Sixth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) DHARANA ~ Calm Focusing of the Mind  S3 E98 DHARANA ~ Strategies for Focus and Concentration S3 E99   Pratyahara (the Fifth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Pratyahara ~ Awareness of the Senses | The Fifth Limb | S3 E65 Pratyahara ~ Freedom of the Senses | 'ask dorothy' S3 E66   Pranayama and Breathing Techniques (the Fourth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Why Taking A Deep Breath Feels Good ~ The Self-Healing Benefits of Deep Breathing: What You Need to Know  [The WISDOM BLOG] PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E63]     Asana (the Third Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Asana ~ A State of Being  [Podcast Episode S3E61]  The Seat of Meditation ~ Asana ~ 'ask dorothy'   [Podcast Episode S3E62]      The Niyamas Series (the Second Limb of the Yoga Sutras) SAUCHA ~ Purification  [Podcast S3 E49]  * The Niyamas Series: 1/5 SANTOSHA ~ Contentment  [Podcast S3 E51]  * The Niyamas Series: 2/5 TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline  [Podcast S3 E53]  * The Niyamas Series: 3/5 SVADHYAYA ~Self-Study  [Podcast S3 E55]  * The Niyamas Series: 4/5 ISVARA PRANIDHANA ~ Surrender  [Podcast S3 E57]  * The Niyamas Series: 5/5     The Yamas Series (the First Limb of the Yoga Sutras) APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment  [Podcast S3 E47]  * The Yamas Series: 5/5 BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-Excess  [Podcast S3 E45]  * The Yamas Series: 4/5 ASTEYA ~ Non-Stealing  [Podcast S3 E43]  * The Yamas Series: 3/5 SATYA ~ Truthfulness  [Podcast S3 E41]  * The Yamas Series: 2/5 HIMSA ~ Nonviolence  [Podcast S3 E39]  * The Yamas Series: 1/5     Meditation and Mindfulness The Five Best '5-Minute' Mindfulness and Meditation Life Hacks  [Podcast Episode S1 E15]   ~ Journey with me....

Strategies for Focus & Concentration ~ Dhāraṇā 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 99   ~ Concentration of the Mind  ~ 💜   timestamps: 'ask dorothy' Podcast Intro ~ 0-2:22 | An Introduction to Dharana ~ 2:23 | To Enter Deep Concentration ~ 4:12 | Concentration on the Spiritual Eye ~ 7:47 | Recite a Mantra ~ 9:55 | Bring Your Desire for Focusing Your Mind Into All That You Do ~ 14:06 | Podcast Outro ~ 15:03   In this experiential episode, I share three of my favourite (and most simple) daily practices of Dharana.     Dharana is the sustained practice of focused concentration on a single object. This focus is usually the breath, but it can also be the repetition of a mantra, the visualization of a deity, or the contemplation of a deep truth.   When we practice Dharana, the mind becomes peaceful and it softens or stills. We strengthen the mind by focusing on one area and practicing control of the mind. The mind is like a muscle we can train, and it's not beyond our control that the thoughts just come and take us away with them. We are in control, and Dharana is one way we can practice this control.   Join me for a 30-day Stillness Challenge! Download the 30-day Habit Tracker here!

Dharana ~ Calm Focusing of the Mind The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 98   ~ Concentration is the binding of the mind’s attention (focused awareness) to one particular point (to the exclusion of everything else).  ~ Yoga Sutra 3:1  ~ 💜   If you’ve been joining me in this series on the Yoga Sutras ~ the eight-fold path of classic yoga, we are in this episode here at the sixth limb ~ Dharana.   Classical Yoga is a system of spiritual Knowledge coming from the scriptures (the Vedas), and handed down by a lineage of teachers.    Calmly focusing the full attention of the mind and consciousness on one point to the exclusion of everything else = this is dharana (concentration). Dharana comes from the word dhri ‘to hold firm’.   This is not generalized attention where the mind is still engaged in thought-processes but to the yoga technique of ‘one-pointed’ (ekagrata) concentration: a continuous flow of consciousness inwards either on an internal object (antara-visaya), or an externalized object (bahya-visaya).   Here I share the four ways to Achieve Dharana ~ in daily life + have a listen to any of the previous episodes in this series to build the spiritual practices and the teachings of living enlightened.     Join me for a 30-day Stillness Challenge!

Pratyahara ~ Mastery of the Senses The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 96   ~ You can always go inward for your answers, your wisdom, your truth.  ~ 💜   In pratyahara the attention is directed inwards.  It is to practice engaging in the world within.   Through the practice of asana and pranayama one turns the mind’s attention within, being totally aware of where the impulse to breathe in and breathe out arises.   Total attention and awareness of that is itself pratyahara, or drawing one’s attention into and within oneself.   One of my favourites and perhaps considered the most important – pratyahara is the veil between the first four limbs which rein mind and body and the final three limbs –dharana, dhyana, and samadhi, are the universal or natural states of yoga, and represent the inner journey.   Pratyahara is the withdrawing of the senses, mind, and consciousness from contact with external objects, and then drawing them inward towards the soul.   Join me for a 30-day Stillness Challenge!

Pranayama ~ Vital Energy of the Universe The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 94   ~ Knowing that each breath affords you life force, would that change or alter the significance you give to breathing? ~ 💜   The practice of pranayama is a process by which prana is controlled by regulating the breathing voluntarily. It involves a temporary pause or interval in the movement of breath.     Having established a firm, steady posture, one then regulates the life-force (prana) by natural voluntary suspension of the breath after inhalation and exhalation – this is pranayama. ~  yoga sutras 2:49   Pranayama aids contemplation and removes distraction from the mind so that it becomes easy to concentrate and meditate.   Here join me as we practice Savitri Pranayama together.   Savitri Pranayama: is a rhythmic harmonizing breath using a four-part breath ratio. The inhalation and exhalation are the same and the internal and external breath retention are half that of the inhalation and exhalation.       More Pranayama and Breathing Techniques: * Why Taking A Deep Breath Feels Good ~ The Self-Healing Benefits of Deep Breathing: What You Need to Know  [The WISDOM BLOG] * PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E63]   Asana, the Third Limb of the Yoga Sutras Asana ~ A State of Being  [Podcast Episode S3E61]  The Seat of Meditation ~ Asana ~ 'ask dorothy'   [Podcast Episode S3E62]    The Niyamas Series * SAUCHA ~ Purification  [Podcast S3 E49]  * The Niyamas Series: 1/5 * SANTOSHA ~ Contentment  [Podcast S3 E51]  * The Niyamas Series: 2/5 * TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline  [Podcast S3 E53]  * The Niyamas Series: 3/5 * SVADHYAYA ~Self-Study  [Podcast S3 E55]  * The Niyamas Series: 4/5 * ISVARA PRANIDHANA ~ Surrender  [Podcast S3 E57]  * The Niyamas Series: 5/5   The Yamas Series * APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment  [Podcast S3 E47]  * The Yamas Series: 5/5 * BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-Excess  [Podcast S3 E45]  * The Yamas Series: 4/5 * ASTEYA ~ Non-Stealing  [Podcast S3 E43]  * The Yamas Series: 3/5 * SATYA ~ Truthfulness  [Podcast S3 E41]  * The Yamas Series: 2/5 * AHIMSA ~ Nonviolence  [Podcast S3 E39]  * The Yamas Series: 1/5     Meditation and Mindfulness The Five Best '5-Minute' Mindfulness and Meditation Life Hacks  [Podcast Episode S1 E15]   ~ Journey with me....

Asana ~ The Seat of Stillness ~ exploring the third yoga sutra ~   The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 92   “Be still and find your infinity.” 💜   Patanjali’s description of asana does not refer to any particular yoga postures rather the ability to hold the body motionlessly still in preparation for and sitting in long periods in, deep meditation.   If the body is restless, then the mind will also become restless. Therefore, in order to ensure that the mind becomes still and quiet, the body needs to be trained, to make it steady with ease and comfort.   ‘Posture is mastered by freeing the body and mind from tension and restlessness and meditating on the infinite.'  When posture is mastered one is undisturbed by the pairs of opposites (dualities).   Here I guide us in a practice of Asana with stillness for 5 minutes.   As we do so, allow your breath to be the only subtle movement that is naturally occurring with the rise and fall of the chest.  This is how you prepare for the higher spiritual practices of concentration (dharana),  meditation (dhyana) and bliss (samadhi).   Q: Where in your life can you cultivate stillness (or more stillness)? Q: Do you ever feel the urge to be still? Do you listen to this? Q: What are you discovering/learning through intentional stillness?   In this episode I reference and take direct quotes from 'The Yoga Book' by Steven Sturgess.     More Asana, More Stillness Asana ~ A State of Being  [Podcast Episode S3E61]  The Seat of Meditation ~ Asana ~ 'ask dorothy'   [Podcast Episode S3E62]    The Niyamas Series * SAUCHA ~ Purification  [Podcast S3 E49]  * The Niyamas Series: 1/5 * SANTOSHA ~ Contentment  [Podcast S3 E51]  * The Niyamas Series: 2/5 * TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline  [Podcast S3 E53]  * The Niyamas Series: 3/5 * SVADHYAYA ~Self-Study  [Podcast S3 E55]  * The Niyamas Series: 4/5 * ISVARA PRANIDHANA ~ Surrender  [Podcast S3 E57]  * The Niyamas Series: 5/5   The Yamas Series * APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment  [Podcast S3 E47]  * The Yamas Series: 5/5 * BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-Excess  [Podcast S3 E45]  * The Yamas Series: 4/5 * ASTEYA ~ Non-Stealing  [Podcast S3 E43]  * The Yamas Series: 3/5 * SATYA ~ Truthfulness  [Podcast S3 E41]  * The Yamas Series: 2/5 * AHIMSA ~ Nonviolence  [Podcast S3 E39]  * The Yamas Series: 1/5     Meditation and Mindfulness The Five Best '5-Minute' Mindfulness and Meditation Life Hacks  [Podcast Episode S1 E15]   ~ Journey with me....

~ Surrender to Your Higher Self~ 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 91    "Hold faith in your highest self ~ the true wisdom of goodness and of godliness that lives within you." ~ dorothy zennuriye juno 💜   The true wisdom of goodness and of godliness lives within us.   When we believe that our power lies beyond us we can feel hopeless and detached.   When we dismiss our true power - relinquishing it to another person or an external deity or god we are left powerless.   The notion of surrender is to feel a deepening of trust and faith in yourself ~ in your 'god source' ~ rather than in something outside of you.   Surrender in it’s truest form is to hold faith in one’s highest self.   Surrendering is freeing yourself of your ego condition and the suffering that this condition causes ~ (e.g. anxiety, sadness, confusion, loss of judgment, condemnation, victimhood.   True surrender is to let go of the ego – to live from the heart ~ and to make your decisions from this place of goodness & faith.   Trust in the value of honour and dignity to lead all of your decisions along a path of truth.   When you look within, when you make this inner dwelling focus a practice and a guiding force of how you choose to live your life, the undeniable acts of love and kindness and compassion that are the true sources of ultimate freedom ~ will light your way to wisdom.   Trust in your inner wisdom and you will realize the power you hold.   ~ Get on the list: Receive my WISDOM Notes in your inbox each SUNDAY💜        Mantras & Love: I AM: A Daily Mantra of Self-Love  [The Wisdom Archives] In This Moment: An I AM Mantra  [Soundcloud]   ~ Journey with me....

~ infinite surrender ~ Engage Fully With Life ~ Live Unstoppable The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 90    “ What do you give your pranidhana (your surrender) to? ” 💜   Ishvara pranidhana is the practice of fully surrendering the self to God, Life Force, to the divine – to the infinitely intelligent consciousness of the universe – to source energy – to whatever chosen word or groupings of words you use to describe the most infinite good ~ and then to know that this eternal good lives in you. It is what you are.   All of the practices of the Niyamas lead us here ~ into the knowledge that we surrender and trust in our infinite nature because we are the god source ~ we are pureness and love. We simply need to choose this ~ and to choose to live as this.     Surrender to a oneness ~ an infinite consciousness ~ as the surrender of devotion to living as your highest self.       Mantras & Love: I AM: A Daily Mantra of Self-Love  [The Wisdom Archives] In This Moment: An I AM Mantra  [Soundcloud]   ~ Journey with me....
