In the book ‘The Field’, Lynne McTaggart showed us how clear the connection between intention and outcomes are.

Very much like Dr. Wayne Dyer, Lynne helps us navigate spirituality in a way that is simple and easy to understand. Using science, research and her journalism background, Lynne is able to inspire us to use our thoughts, our hearts and our minds towards outcomes we want.

Lynne’s book, The Field, is a fantastic read and it shows such astounding proof that our thoughts do impact our physical world and that of the world of those we love.

In this rare interview, Lynne shares with us insights from her research, ways we can become more grounded in intention, and how we can create more positive relationships as a result.

If you enjoy the work of Don Miguel Ruiz, Drs. John and Julie Gottman, Drs. Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks, Marianne Williamson, or any of our other guests then you’ll surely love this interview with Lynne.

One of my favorite books of all times is: The Four Agreements. 

It’s for this reason it’s such an honor to be interviewing author, speaker and Toltec Wisdom teacher - Don Miguel Ruiz on today's episode of LastingLoveConnection podcast. 

Don's book, Mastery of Love, has been a favorite of mine for many years as well. 

Each of his books brings us into truth, light, and a deeper connection to what really matters. 

Don’s ability to write with simplicity and teach with such clarity is what makes him a favorite of millions world-wide. 

The wisdom that Don teaches stretches beyond religion or sect, and goes straight to the heart. 

On our path to live the Mastery of Love or stay grounded in the four agreements it can become all too easy to make the agreements a way to judge ourselves…

As humans this is the barrier between us and love —the judgements. 

We’ve all been taught and domesticated into a mindset full of rules. 

These rules and judgements hurt us…

But the problem is this: Most of us don’t know how to stop. 

And we don’t know that there’s even a problem —how can we when we are swimming in the issue? 

In today’s interview Don Miguel Ruiz joins us to teach us the Mastery of Love, to help us the judgments, and guide us back to the heart of self-love. 

Click to Tweet - We must all master self-love. Self-love is the answer.

Big Take Away - We are not happy because we judge and condemn ourselves. We must learn to love ourselves unconditionally.

Sex - everyone does it...and yet most of don't know how to talk about it. 

If you want a long term committed relationship you better find a way to get around that hurdle. Talking or not talking about sex can make or break a relationship. 

In the work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman they say the main pain points for couples are: sex, money, and children. 

Today we're going to dive into one of those. Hopefully it also gives you more confidence to talk about anything else that is considered taboo and off limits.

What is your health and the health of your family worth to you?

If you ask me - I’d say everything.

With the staggering incline of cancer and chronic diseases one thing is clear: Today’s society doesn't understand health.

Being healthy is crucial to everything you do. With health you can enjoy family, sports, hobbies, sex, intimacy, friendships, your children, vacations, money - everything depends on your health.

The more sick you are, the less you can truly enjoy life.

I started working with the Loving Children, Loving Families project with a question - a yearning desire to understand one thing:

What makes love last? 

Day and night, I saw couple after couple transform.

Groups of 2-20 couples gathered around on the second floor of a small house, turned non-profit center, in Bothell, WA.

Couples found ways to discuss the taboo. The hidden. The feared.

Looking into each other’s eyes, couples learned how to use Gentle Start Up to discuss their problems.

They learned how to bring more love into their lives.

Each day, I watched masses of kids enter the non-profit with their parents. I saw the children transformed as their parents stopped complaining about them.

Mom and Dad stopped saying: “Our son has a problem. He has a short temper and he yells a lot. We need you to help us change him.”

Instead they began to say: “Our son is like this because we set a bad example. We yell a lot and get angry easily. Let’s be better partners to each other. Let’s help Tommy by being better partners.”

It wasn't just the couples and the children who were changing.

To me, this was more than just a job. This sparked a passion and talent within me that made me feel alive.

The Gottman’s research had become part of my obsession.

Is it hard to recover and make up after a fight?

According to Dr. Harville Hendrix, it's not about how often you fight - it's about how quickly you can recover.

Kamala and I agree.

It's during those fights and those times of distance that many couples grow apart, fall out love, or decide it's just not worth it.

But here's the thing -- every couple struggles sometimes, and every couple has to master the critical skill of recovery and reconnection.

Before I continue, let me tell you that Kamala and I are like any couple - we argue and we mess up.

Earlier this week we had one of those fails.

We got into an argument, things weren't handled the best.

We had to take a breather, take a time out, and then come back together.

Fortunately Kamala and I know some secretes to cover the gap, make up, and get connected quickly.

In today's episode we will delve into the skills needed for recovery, the mindset to help you get the love back, and have that amazing connection.

Fathers and Mothers are incredible special to our society. They are the backbones of our culture.

This week on the LastingLoveConnection podcast, we want to celebrate fathers. In order to do that, it’s our pleasure to bring on Fatherhood Coach and Author of multiple books on Fatherhood - Range from raising babies to raising teens to raising children as single father.

Armin Brott is father of two daughters, and because of his contribution to fathers, we felt he'd be great to have on the show to discuss ways we can celebrate, understand, and appreciate fathers on a deeper level.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
