Authentic Living
Summary: Your Authentic Self is wise, knows the highest path for your life and has never been wounded. That’s right. You have a part of you that has never been wounded. In fact, that part is the truest essence of who you are. Would you like to access it? Do you know how to use your own internal guidance system? Would you like to have peace? How about a more meaningful life? Your authenticity can give you these seemingly miraculous gifts—but you have to know how to get there. Authentic Living with Andrea Mathews will help you raise your consciousness to the level of your own I AM by interviewing some of the great spiritual experts of today. You’ll learn how to see your true self in the midst of life’s twists and turns and be challenged to think outside the box when it comes to the mysteries of life. Can you afford to miss even one of these shows? Authentic Living airs live Wednesdays at 1 PM Pacific on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel.

We have all been taught to believe in a dualistic frame of reference. All of our lives have been built upon this premise--our religions, our families, our financial institutions, our healthcare, our work ethic and our very sense of ourselves.

Have you found your deepest ancient roots? No. We're not talking about your genealogy, though that can certainly be a part of it.
No one wants to feel sorrow. It is the emotion we most avoid, for it makes us vulnerable to the onslaughts of deep emotional and psychic shifts. We live in a world in which the social pressures and rigid schedules of life forbid our sorrow.
Here we are again at another new beginning. At least it is one that most of us recognize as a new beginning. The problem, however, with new beginnings is that we think we have to throw out the old to have the new.
This is that time of year when we talk about it. We sing about it. We even pray about it.
What do we do with the enormous suffering created by such things as deadly illness and trauma? They say, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
