Happy Summer Solstice! This week, Lisa covers Freedom - from chapter 6 of the Four Agreements, "The Toltec Path to Freedom: Breaking Old Agreements." Many of us live in a free country - but how many of us are really FREE? Ruiz defines true freedom as the 'Freedom to BE who we truly are.' - That's why it's great to take a look at your 'Book of Law,' (the beliefs and agreements you've made over your life) - to determine what benefits you and what doesn't. As we move in to the Summer of 2008 and the Fourth of July, let's step into what it is REALLY like to be FREE!

The Pain Body - all of us have one. In this chapter, Eckhart says 'the pain body is an addiction to unhappiness.' Our pain bodies thrive on negative thinking and drama. There are individual and collective pain bodies, including the collective female pain body, which has been suppressed over the past two thousand years because it was the only way for the (male-based) ego to gain strength. This week, Lisa's joined by Diane Silvester, owner of Soul Centered, a metaphysical shoppe, in Ojai, CA. http://www.soulcentered.net
