Hello, and welcome to the Un-Contain Yourself blog. Martha has kindly agreed to speak for us so we can share our messages with you. We are a Group Consciousness here to help you remember who you really are – eternal beings. Your human experience is important for you to grow as eternal beings, but it …
One of the most challenging things about spiritual development is being able to translate our spiritual life into our everyday life. We feel connected to our deeper purpose and want to create our lives or something that allows us to live and express that every day. We hear, and we want to answer the call. …
Being and doing come up a lot in the spiritual or consciousness space, for a good reason. Understanding the interconnection between the two is fundamental to our growth as eternal and human beings. I have personally been wrestling with it for what seems like forever. (That may not be an exaggeration.) I have, however, managed …
Following a mystical path sounds so evocative and mysterious, like something traveled on by only a few chosen people. In truth, it doesn’t have to be evocative or mysterious.

In this episode, I discuss why I think we can’t actually forgive others and that forgiveness isn’t really about others. I get very personal about a time in my life when deep forgiveness was needed and how that shaped my …
For many of us, trust is a four-letter word. I think that’s because it can feel like a powerless state. While trust is a vulnerable state, I don’t think it’s a powerless one. In this episode, I talk about how I think our understanding of trust is focused more on the external experience rather than …
