21: Ep. 21 - Julie Marie Murphy Part 1 | Aligning Wealth With Spirituality
5 september 2024 · 1 uur 12 min
Summary
Julie Murphy, a bestselling author and podcast host, discusses the intersection of spirituality and savings. She emphasizes the importance of aligning financial decisions with the heart and soul, rather than solely relying on the mind. Julie shares her personal near-death experience and how it led to a shift in her perspective and priorities. She also explores the relationship between money and emotions, highlighting the need to break limiting beliefs and patterns. Julie encourages individuals to surrender to their authentic selves and align with their true purpose. Creating space in all areas of your life is essential for attracting abundance. This includes creating space financially, mentally, emotionally, and physically. All four aspects of your being (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) need to be in alignment for true wealth. Clearing out emotional clutter and addressing past traumas is crucial for manifesting the life you desire. It's important to feel your feelings and release any trapped emotions in order to open up your manifestation channel. Many people are income affluent but struggle to hold onto their wealth because they haven't developed the habits of asset affluence. Building a financial system that supports your goals and creating a compelling reason for change are key steps in achieving financial empowerment. In this final part of the conversation, Jim and Julie discuss their favorite songs and the impact music has on their lives. They share the first songs they fell in love with, songs they would belt out on road trips, and their guilty pleasure songs. They also talk about songs that have a profound impact on how people think and feel about the world. Julie shares some songs by Trevor Hall that have deep meanings for her.

19: Ep. 19 - Dr. Julie Foster
8 augustus 2024 · 1 uur 23 min
Julie Foster, MD, has been board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine since 2000. She was trained in Medical Acupuncture by the Academy of Pain Research in 2015 and became an energy healer in 2021. Dr. Foster blends western, eastern, and energy medicine techniques to help you find a way to heal. She opened Flowing Chi Medical in 2017 to have more time with patients and explore the realm of medical acupuncture so that she could help them heal instead of offering them a pharmaceutical band-aid over a 5-minute visit. She realized that diseases can be cured by releasing the emotional blockages in the body's energy meridians that cause disease. When her hands "turned on" in 2021, she began to play with the techniques of energy medicine, and through this, she discovered that we all have a "God particle" in the center of our body and that when those photons connect through love, "God Heals God," and miracles become an everyday occurrence. You can learn more about Dr. Foster here. Lees meer
