Turning Inward With Dr. Vivian Carrasco

Have you ever asked yourself if there's a better way to live? Have you ever wondered if you could be better? Do better? If you have, then Vivian has a hunch that you're ready to wake up and change. Listen in to find out why she thinks so and what you can do to assist the process. This episode is a conversation with you, to give you a nudge and find out if you're ready to wake up and begin the process of transforming yourself. Vivian explains that the reason for wondering about a better way to live is because the act of bringing something into your awareness, allows for a choice, or a change. It's a way for you to become aware and design a different way for yourself and you already have everything you need, in order to do that. She points out that you can't avoid pain in your life, however, it is within your control to lessen your suffering. Listen in as Vivian explains how you can use your attention to change your brain so that you can begin to wake up and see things more clearly. Today, Vivian discusses: Th

Today's show is inspired by one of Vivian's favorite mystics, Anthony de Mello. His last book, The Last Meditations of Anthony de Mello, The Way To Love, is a book that she keeps very close at hand and refers to often, as she resonates so closely with his writings. Listen to today's show and learn how to really love and accept yourself and develop your awareness, through the teachings of Anthony de Mello.   Vivian explains that the premise of his writing is that love springs from awareness- and awareness is really her thing! She points out that in order for us to truly begin to love, we have to awaken that awareness and it's really not that easy. In fact, it's painful - as de Mello says, “The most painful act is the act of seeing, but in that act of seeing, love is born.” Vivian explains that most of us are really not content to be ourselves because we are programmed from birth to be dissatisfied- or to be anything other than what we really are! She points out that any change that you make is always accompani

Vivian is back on the show, after several months sabbatical. She naturally follows the Texas Two Step process, in that she tends to withdraw at times because she's leveling up.  Join Vivian today, as she starts out with a little freestyle, for you to get to know her again.   Today, Vivian explains what caused her to withdraw this time and she talks about the different formats that she's gone through with this show, since starting out, years ago. She says that although she finds that the deepest fulfillment and meaning for her, come from working with people one on one, she's still committed to her promise to continue to show up on the podcast. She feels good about the transformation that's gone on over the last number of years, since she was downloaded with the set of instructions to love being human and she used this podcast as a way to turn around and offer these instructions to you, as well. Listen in today, as Vivian shares what she knows in her knowing and returns to the show, to hand the tools over.   To

Do you find yourself looking for ways to avoid the pain and discomfort that change inevitably brings? Would you like to find out how to best deal with this unavoidable aspect of your growth? Then join Vivian today, as she offers her gentle guidance to nudge you away from logic and into your heart.   On today's show, Vivian talks about change in identity. She talks about her own transformation and how she knew that she had to deepen her practice and commit full force to calming her mind and all its noise. She explains that she has learned to observe her reactions, rather than being subject to them and how this shift has brought so much joy into the process.  Listen in today, as Vivian shares her insights and encourages you to enjoy creating your world and discover how you can transform your anxieties, worries, and stress into something that you can deal with.   Today, Vivian discusses:   That the essence of you comes from your heart, not your head. How she would keep searching for the reason that she was afra

Do you realize that you're actually much smarter than you think you are? Would you like to find out why, or how you can come to see that for yourself? Then join Vivian today and learn about how you can go about raising your awareness and developing your insight.     Today, Vivian talks about the Five Day Experience that she hosted in January and has now made available for you on her website. She describes it as a slow drip of daily insight to bring awareness to the fact that you're smarter than you think you are. She discusses what she leads you through in it and that the core intention is not one of self-help because you're not broken. She also discusses how, after a transformational process, people have a tendency to go back to logic and looking for facts, like trying to figure out a maths problem- and that's just not the way that it works. So, slow down, listen in and learn about how you can tap into your own inner wisdom, by becoming aware of what's going on in and around you. You're going to love this sh

If you're looking for the right kind of inspiration to become all that you can be, without holding back, join Vivian today, as she encourages you to lean into the best within you and let all your actions come from a place of love and peace.   Today, Vivian ponders something that came up twice in her recent dreams- twins. After the second dream, she understood that it was telling her that two things can both be true at the same time. Today she talks about how we often make a choice, choosing one thing and disregarding the other, without considering that both could be appropriate. She talks about how healthy it is to have love as the motivation for all your actions and reminds you that no matter how big you can dream, the potential for what you can actually do is even bigger than that... but you have to be open to it, to let it happen. She also points out that it's possible for you to do your very best, and yet accept that the outcome is outside of your control. Join Vivian today and discover so much more withi

Where are you right now? Do you dare to dream, or are you still bogged down by life? On today's episode of Turning Inward, Vivian Carrasco shares candidly about how she used to be stuck in the mud until she realized that she had created that for herself.  She asks you if you're still stuck, or if you have managed as yet, to reach the place of giving yourself permission to wonder.    Vivian, a change maker, mindset mentor, Life Coach and Master Life Coach, has the gift of seeing into the heart of things. Join her today, as she helps you to discover that you too, can love being human.   Today, Vivian talks about:   Some of her old ideas, which did not work for her. Finding your True Soul Desire.  The first step- beginning to shift your gaze. The process of turning inward and taking responsibility for yourself. The second step- where you start to wonder what if? Becoming ready to dream and consider. Her digital workshop, Design Your Life Digital and how it can give you permission to dream. The necessity of movi
