In episode 80 of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast hosted by Meena Puri, titled "Addiction - Love is the Path," Meena and her guest, Dr. Donna Marks, explore addiction and the path to recovery driven by the power of love.

Dr. Donna Marks is a renowned psychotherapist and addictions counselor from Palm Beach, Florida, with over 30 years of experience. In 1989, Dr. Marks developed a chemical dependency training program at Palm Beach Community College, which has grown into a four-year degree and received the Florida Governor’s Council Award. In addition to being a certified gestalt therapist, psychoanalyst, hypnotist, and sex therapist, Dr. Marks also teaches A Course in Miracles and shares her expertise with thousands of listeners on podcasts and radio shows.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Marks shares her unique perspective on addiction and recovery. Rather than approaching addiction as merely a symptom that needs treating, Dr. Marks views addiction as a symptom of a deeper underlying issue. She explains that addiction is often rooted in a lack of love, and therefore recovery largely depends on addressing this fundamental issue.

Dr. Marks highlights the power of love to heal addiction by emphasizing the importance of self-love and self-care. She encourages listeners to recognize the power they have to transform their lives by choosing self-love and believing in their inner strength.

Join Meena and Dr. Donna Marks on this transformative episode as they explore addiction and how love is the path to recovery.

In this episode of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast, Meena Puri explores the transformative journey of emotional healing. She delves into the significance of addressing emotions such as regret, resentment, and forgiveness in this process.

Emotions are not just emotions, they are everything that is nonphysical in our being.  Made up of emotions, thoughts, beliefs, trauma, experiences past and present – the sum total makes up this field of energy.  When this energy is sick, body gets sick.

When we don’t consciously learn how to navigate and manage our emotional world, our emotions then run our life subconsciously.  

Emotions are how we navigate our inner and outer world, they are the inner compass guiding us.  When we get triggered, feel off, it is nothing to ignore rather to take guidance from.

Upcoming emotional healing retreat:  Oct. 4th, 5th, 6th. 12-1pm EST  on Zoom, free to attend.  Register Here  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIudO-orDotHt2nDWP6Kvzz7YS1Vjn-IxCG

In episode 78 of "Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire," Meena Puri explores the idea of living from the inside out. Meena encourages listeners to realize that the answers we seek are found within us, and we can only stray from ourselves for so long before we return home.

We all must come to the realization that the answers we seek are only found inside.  We can only stray from ourselves for so long. Sooner or later, we must return home to ourselves.  

 I can say this with conviction. 

Being born and raised in a family in India - a place of rituals and norms and the only guide seemed to be what others would say.  Keeping quiet was applauded, being a martyr was admired.  My journey was to shed all of it. It wasn't easy, but it was so worth it.  

 I often wondered who these other people were only to realize that it was nothing but a mere reflection of our own lack of courage - others were a mere crutch.   

 The joy and success we seek is born out of freeing our soul from the conditioning and programming so we can live a life that is internally driven and not externally imposed. 

Humanity is at cross roads where the old ways are at odds with the new vision.  Our soul will choose light.  

A new day is dawning! Can you sense that? 

I had no idea when I created Inner Compass Club, that my vision would expand so much more than what I began with.  I started with emotional healing, but it's going to go way beyond that. It's a movement, an affirmation, and a commitment to oneself to live from the inside out.  The true compass is within each one of us.  

Inside the Inner Compass Club Membership, you will find the teachings, meditations and community.  New content will be continuously added - whether it is nutrition, lifestyle, relationships, spirituality, evolution and ascension. My vision is to free all of us from the bondage of programming in all areas of our lives. 

We can either chase or we can find. 

End the chase!  Turn Inward!
