Top 10 Inspired Action Episodes

Goodpods has curated a list of the 10 best Inspired Action episodes, ranked by the number of listens and likes each episode have garnered from our listeners. If you are listening to Inspired Action for the first time, there's no better place to start than with one of these standout episodes. If you are a fan of the show, vote for your favorite Inspired Action episode by adding your comments to the episode page.

The next two Ghost Points in our series are about how we receive input from the outer world and how we actually see the world. These insights are invaluable for anyone striving to cultivate greater authenticity in their life.

  • Ghost Convincing: This theme challenges us to recognize when we're being influenced by external pressures or "gaslighting." It's about trusting our inner truth and being aware of when something feels off.
  • Ghost Eyes: This theme encourages us to reflect on how past experiences, especially traumas, might cloud our current perceptions. It's about seeing clearly without letting the past dictate our present.
Building Trust in Yourself

To cultivate Trust, start with small steps to rebuild trust in yourself. Whether following a gut instinct about a seemingly simple decision, like taking an umbrella when it doesn't look like rain, or reflecting on bigger life choices, nurturing this inner trust is key to authenticity.

For those who might feel overwhelmed due to past traumas, the journey may take time, but it's worth the effort. Recognize situations where you might have doubted yourself and try to understand the underlying truth of those moments.

Moving Forward with Confidence

While the past may have shaped us, it doesn't have to define us. By reconnecting with our authentic self, we can cultivate the Thirteen Ghost Points to approach the world with clarity and confidence.

08:00 Introduction to the 13 Ghost Points 08:42 Understanding Ghost Convincing 09:47 Trusting Your Instincts 10:12 Reconnecting with Your Inner Truth 12:17 The Impact of Trauma on Trust 13:04 Baby Steps to Rebuild Trust 14:38 How You See the World 15:50 Hypervigilance and Trauma 16:12 The Exhaustion of Hypervigilance 16:27 Different Perspectives and Vantage Points 17:20 Influence of Past Traumas 17:46 Homework: Observing Your Assumptions 19:51 Hypervigilance as an Excuse 20:20 Living Authentically 20:39 Energetic Work and Self Cultivation 21:35 Recognizing Gaslighting 21:47 Gentleness and Self-Care

Are you the little boat in the big sea? Have you ever been in-the-flow? Motivational people: Gandalf in LOTR, Lao Tsu, Zhuangzi, Kramer in Seinfeld (for his Wu Wei way of life), Eckhart Tolle (for being the Watcher). By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow Us: Facebook and Instagram

“A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.” — Gandalf from the movie The Lord of the Rings

In episode 001 of the Inspired Action Podcast, we begin by creating a framework for this motivational podcast by introducing you to a number of Inspired Action concepts.

The only prerequisite to joining us on this alchemical journey is a desire for change and a transformational mindset.

The goal of this podcast is to help you learn to master your own life. We will talk about how to “Course the Wind” on the sea of life.

Some of the concepts we cover are:

  • Becoming a Realized Human Being
  • Becoming a Master/Wizard of your own life
  • Self-Cultivation
  • Wu Wei
  • Being in the Zone or the Flow
  • Becoming the watcher (Eckhart Tolle-style)
  • Being an instrument of the divine
  • Self-Acceptance
  • The Five Elements, your energetic nature, and what makes you energetically reactive to the world

Thought Quotes:

  • “What are you waiting for? You can start the journey now. You don’t have to be miserable on the road to happiness. You can actually be happy while you’re trying to get happier.”
  • “Wind is a metaphor for change. We want to be in control and in charge of where we are going in an easy way (not a forced way).”
  • “The reason we chose the name Inspired Action is that when you self-cultivate, you begin to create the ability to be spontaneous in your life. What that really means is that all of your actions are not based on what your logical mind tells you to do (the “shoulds” that our society has us doing all the time). Rather... they’re inspired actions.”

Inspired Action - 97 Metal: The Art of Wanting to Want Nothing
play

07/06/22 • 32 min

What do Metals really want? They may want a fancy new car, an amazing trip around the world, or the perfect romance, but deep down they want to be free from attachment and ultimately let go of wanting altogether. In this episode, we will discuss Metal’s desire to grasp the ineffable and of course their ability to see the shenanigans going on all around them!

“It’s like they’re just sitting back in their lazy-boy chair, watching the rest of us go through all our machinations... and they just see it for what it really is — a bunch of shenanigans.”

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What does Metal REALLY want?
  • Metal has the ability to “see through” other people
  • Metals want – nothing. When you’re living in the Dao, how can you want anything?
  • You exit into life and enter into death. Metals live in-between
  • Metals have no boundary of time and space
  • Metal Movies: Nomadland, Call Me By Your Name, Lost in Translation, Wings of Desire, the Tree of Life, and The Fountain
  • Metals want to fly free on their magic carpet rides but at the same time have deep connection
  • To answer the What Do I Really Want Question, Metals have to imagine they have no obligations and then ask the question
Thought Quotes:

“Nothing really matters – to me!”

“It’s like Steve Jobs took the best of Wood and their love of gadgetry and combined it with the best of Metal and their love of clean lines and beautiful design, and built a company on those high values – and what a success that was!”

“To want nothing... in Daoism, well, that just means you’re living in the Dao. How can you even have a want from that place?.”

Inspired Action - 96 Digging Deeper to Find the Center of the Earths
play

06/07/22 • 26 min

Searching for Truth, Harmony, and Belonging among the rubble....When you ask yourself what you really want and the first things you think about is everyone else you care about... you may be Earth! But can you put aside everyone else’s needs to discover what you really want?

“When we use the word HOME in this podcast, we’re talking about... anything that gives a person a sense of belonging.”

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What does Earth REALLY want?
  • What does Earth really want? Deeper understanding of themselves and the people in their lives!
  • The Home Palace – it’s about belonging and spiritual connection
  • When the focus is on others – those who are struggling
  • When Earth is depleted – Earth crisis
  • Seeking Peace of Mind
  • Pursuing deeper realizations and the power of THOUGHT
  • Why Earths make great pyschologists
  • Relax your mind and let your heart give you the answer to your What Do I Really Want question
Thought Quotes:

“It’s resolved. That feeling like, “Yup, we dug deep, we worked it out, and now we can move on.” That’s what drives them. That feels like success.”

“Put aside this very strong desire for your loved ones to be well. Let’s make it hypothetical. Let’s say you already have your wish that your family members all have peace and harmony – now, let’s have you ask the question – What do YOU really want – for yourself, deep down.”

“Let your analytical mind relax a bit... don’t think, and let the answers arise from deep inside yourself, from a place beyond mind.”

Inspired Action - 95 Come on Baby Light Your (Own) Fire!
play

05/09/22 • 32 min

What do Fires really want? What are they really looking for? They want to burn brightly in the world! But what if they don’t feel safe and accepted? Can they feel safe enough to be a lighthouse of love in the world – letting their love burn brightly!

“The Fire heart is like a big furnace, they’re looking for passion through other people and social circumstances that fuels the furnace – those are the Fire Starters... those little sticks and crumpled up pieces of paper that really help bring them back from the barely burning coals, so they can burn brighter.”

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What does Fire REALLY want?
  • What does Fire really want? To burn brightly in the world!
  • The Social Palace – if it was one of the Nine Palaces – it would be a Fire palace
  • Acceptance allows Fires to feel safe to burn brightly
  • Why Fires need to be loved – by EVERYONE
  • What happens when a Fire’s fire goes out...
  • Restarting a Fire’s fire
  • Excitement and wildfires
  • Why some Fires can’t receive love
  • How some Fires get burned out
  • The Prosperity Palace and why it’s so hard
Thought Quotes:

“They think everyone has to love them all the time and then they get shocked because they put their hearts on their sleeves and then someone comes along and knocks their ice cream cone on the ground.”

“And that’s a Fire’s life. Sometimes people are mean, but you manage to keep your coals burning low, or something bigger happens and the Fire goes completely out. And it takes a lot longer to bring it back up.”

“They want to share good things and have people benefit and be excited about what they’re excited about and have it spread like wildfire.”
