In this episode of the Wise Whys podcast, we delve into the fascinating exploration of astrological and energetic blueprints to help you gain clarity in areas of your life where you seek growth and development, helping you embark on an empowering journey toward personal fulfillment and contentment.

In this episode of the Wise Whys podcast, we discuss how choosing to be offended by someone's words or actions can result in giving away our power and leaving ourselves open to emotional manipulation. We explore the reasons why people might choose to be offended and offer practical strategies for reframing our thinking and taking responsibility for our emotions. Overall, this thought-provoking and insightful conversation encourages listeners to take ownership of their emotional responses and approach interactions with empathy and understanding.

When we constantly critique and criticize ourselves, we create a cycle of negativity that can erode our self-esteem and inhibit our progress. It's important to recognize that self-judgment is a natural part of being human, but it's also a behavior that can be changed with mindful effort. By becoming aware of our self-judgment patterns, we can begin to challenge and shift them towards healthier actions bringing us closer to our Authentic Selves.

We all experience trials and tribulations within our lives and we have a choice as to how we want to view them. We can take on a dualistic perspective and see them as a negative experience and that God, the Universe, or someone is against us or we can choose to view it through polarity and accept that challenges are a part of life and that they can server to teach us something when we are open to it. Victimhood strips our power away while looking for the lesson in our experiences gives us the power to maintain a neutral emotional state while also propelling our individual growth.

Change, especially within our own self development work, rarely happens without us taking an honest look at our previous and subconscious behaviors and making a conscious decision and effort to alter our responses and actions going forward. In the event things get tough, we may need that extra something to hold ourselves accountable to follow through on what we ultimately want for ourselves and our lives.

A lot of emphasis is put on compromise and sacrifice in our culture when it comes managing our romantic relationships. However, within the J.U.S.T. Philosophy, one of the most important aspects of a conscious relationship is having and practicing our own individual self development work which is also vital to conflict resolution in relationships.

There can be a hidden cost to having preferences if we aren't flexible in our attachment to them. However, when we shift our perspective toward a state of neutrality around a given want, it removes our need to remain in that stagnant, one-sided energy and opens up the possibilities for more knowledge, wisdom, and overall wellness.

Living in the flow of life doesn't necessarily mean your life will be easier but is rather a perspective that you take to bring in more acceptance, allowance and flexibility in how you relate and react to the world around you.

If you have been doing self development work honestly and consistently, you may have recognized that you have become more sensitive or empathic to things like your environment, your diet, the contents of tv and social media you consume... so why is this happening if we are doing this work to overcome these types of things? We answer this question and cover a plethora of ways to alter your perspective and carry out the step by step practice to begin managing your environment as you peel away those layers.

In our return back to our initial format, we discussed the term 'Shadow Work' and how it relates to self development work within the J.U.S.T. Philosophy. We then shared some step by steps and tools & techniques for how to discover what your main shadow work is and how to begin working on bringing it to light and healing the triggers and traumas related to it.

Topics such as manners, giving, receiving, karma, saying 'I'm sorry', and respect were among the main themes discussed in depth.

In this third installment of the Inward Journey story series, we ride along with Stan and Stevie on their way home from the recent family gathering. During their traveling tension arises and we peer into the way they interact with conflict.

A mainstream view of relationships that seems to be useful is that they take work to work. However, what may be missing from that perspective is that most of the work in relationships is really individual self development work. Our relationships seem to be in our lives to reflect back what and where we need to make adjustments, shifts in perspectives and healing, if we are truly intending on fostering a conscious relationship.Other Relevant Episodes:How to Utilize the Concept of Attachment to Further Self Growthhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-utilize-the-concept-of-attachment-to-further-self-growthWhy Sacrifice & Compromise Are Not Useful In Conscious Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/why-sacrifice-compromise-are-not-useful-in-conscious-relationshipsHow to Consciously Navigate Friendships Outside of Our Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-consciously-navigate-friendships-outside-of-our-relationshipsHow to Utilize the Six Priorities in Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-utilize-the-six-priorities-in-relationshipsThe Foundation Principles of Relating: Attraction, Love, Respect, Trust & Forgivenesshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-foundation-principles-of-relatingHow to Redirect the Energy of Competition Into Inspirationhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-redirect-the-energy-of-competition-into-inspirationThe Push & Pull of Subtle Energy Around Our Wantshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-push-pull-of-subtle-energyA Powerful Tool for Navigating the Emotional Process: The Three Rshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-three-rsWhat Are The Five Levels of Overall Wellness?https://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/what-are-the-five-levels-of-overall-wellnessThree Questions to Help You Define Your Authentic Selfhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/three-questions-to-help-you-define-your-authentic-selfTwo Questions to Help You Define Your Authentic Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/two-questions-to-help-you-define-your-authentic-relationshipsWhat is Unconditional Love and the Process of Reaching Ithttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/what-is-unconditional-love-and-the

Sharing space and energy with another human can be challenging no matter what philosophy or perspective you follow. And in our modern day relationships, it's hard not to find a person or authority figure repeating the mantra that "relationships are compromise & sacrifice".

Over the last year, The Five Levels have been talked about in just about every episode of ours. So many of you have a pretty good idea of what they are and the purpose they serve within The J.U.S.T. Philosophy. However, we were recently asked if we had an episode that only focused on The Five Levels and we were shocked to realize that we have never actually recorded one with that intention. So here it is. An introduction to The Five Levels of Overall Wellness.Other Relevant Episodes:A Do-It-Yourself Guide for Your Self Development Journey Using The Pillarshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/a-diy-guide-for-your-self-development-journeyIntroduction to the 360 Degree View of Emotional Processinghttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/introduction-to-the-360-degree-view-of-emotional-processingTaking A Look at Resentment and How it Can Affect Us on All Five Levelshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/taking-a-look-at-resentment-and-how-it-can-affect-us-on-all-five-levelsHow To Practice Spirituality While Doing the Internal Workhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how-to-practice-spirituality-while-doing-the-internal-work

We often find ourselves in situations where emotions are brought in, either internally or with the other people involved. When this happens, consciousness may no longer be present and not everyone can possibly be seeing the situation clearly. If we are intending on practicing conscious communication, then we can identify when this happens and take the proper actions to ensure any situations where communication must take place, can be done at a later time when consciousness can prevail.Other Relevant Episodes:The Important Role Emotions Play in Energetic Wellnesshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-important-role-emotions-play-in-energetic-wellnessThe Foundation Principles of Relatinghttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/the-foundation-principles-of-relatingForgiveness is a Necessityhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/forgiveness-is-a-necessityTwo Questions to Help You Define Your Authentic Relationshipshttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/two-questions-to-help-you-define-your-authentic-relationshipsUsing the Current Civil Unrest to Further Our Internal Growthhttps://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/using-the-current-civil-unrest-to-further-our-internal-growth

Often we have experiences that seems to exhibit the same energetic blueprint. The names and faces that are part of these experiences may change but the layout of the circumstances may be eerily similar, causing us to maybe even ask the Universe, "Why does this keep happening to me?" This episode focuses on two experiences that I recently had that happened almost exactly the same only a year before - but my reactions to them were completely different... and so were the outcomes.Other Relevant Episodes:https://wisewhyspodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/exploring-the-importance-of-energetic-boundaries

If someone asks you one or more of the following questions, how would you answer? Who are you? What are you about? How do you exemplify it? On the surface, these sound like pretty basic questions but if you get clear on the answers to them, they can help and support you to make decisions in line with your soul's purpose, stand in your power more concretely and follow though on your intentions with more purpose.

At the base of this philosophy, supporting all of the wisdom in these episodes are, what we call, The Pillars. These 5 foundational theories, when utilized in junction with your own self reflection on a particular issue in your life, can yield the particular area or concept you need to focus on in order to get back to overall energetic wellness. This takes the need for a guru away and gives you back your power to derive the answers on your personal self development journey.

In our first episode in a series we are calling "Reflections", Alexander's step children, Ian & Ryan, join us in the studio to discuss what it was like growing up around Alexander and the philosophy we now call "The JUST Philosophy".

The Three Rs are extremely important for practicing optimal energetic wellness. Recognizing, Respecting and then Redirecting is like the Thai Chi for emotional processing: Watching that energy come in, viewing it without judgement and then redirecting it to be utilized in a more beneficial manner. One that promotes the growth of the individual. A sure tool for anyone's self development toolbox and Alexander covers it all in this episode.

The term "The JUST Philosophy" has been used by Alexander a couple times over the last few episodes but it's now time to make it official. What was referred to as Alexander's Frequency Based Philosophy has now been rebranded to The JUST Philosophy. Alexander and Aaron discuss why the name was chosen and the meaning behind the term "JUST".
