Bob Doyle, best known from the book and movie "The Secret", joins Refractive to discuss Releasing Limits through Neuroplasticity. This natural process empowers us to re-write the mental, emotional, and even physical scripts that hold us back. While neuroplasticity is a trait innate to humans and has been consciously and unconsciously leveraged throughout history, Bob has become a prominent figure in the discussion of how to be an active participant in reshaping how the brain works. Today's episode looks at the contrast between the law of attraction as discussed in The Secret and the action of rewiring our thoughts and feelings.

We spend so much of our lives scrounging and begging for scraps when there is a banquet laid out at the next table, and it's been put there JUST for us. The truth is, we humans often trade our birthright of magnificence for a life of scratching and clenching and snatching and wishing. Fortunately, we have a treasure map built into our being, it just requires us to seek to quiet the noise around us and re-learn how to access it. Host Johnny G discusses how holding tightly to careers, relationships, and ideologies that no longer fit keep us small and block our light. He encourages listeners to remember that no matter how dark and rough and confusing life can be, there is one thing for certain: you already know and you already are.

When a friend who knows my spiritual path recommended I schedule a stay in a Buddhist Monastery as a part of my development, I was shocked. Never had Buddhism been on my radar before and I knew next to nothing about it. As they say, when the student is ready, the master appears. Following two weeks at Temple Forest Monastery in New Hampshire, I left with a ton of knowledge about Buddhism, about myself, and about the perfect harmony between my own beliefs and those of the Buddha. This episode will offer a very simple overview of Buddhism and then share some of the most impactful lessons I learned during this life-shaping experience.

Learn more about Temple Forest Monastery at ForestMonastery.org For an excellent (though very basic) overview of Buddhist beliefs, try https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zf8g4qt/revision/1 from the BBC.
