  • Embracing the Shadow Self with Deborah Eden Tull
    Feb 8 2024
    Deborah Eden Tull, lovingly known as Eden, joins Refractive with the message of embracing the shadow self. She encourages linsteners to see our inner darkness as sacred and perfect, a necessary part of the whole of creation rather than as a defect. Eden shares her journey of awakening, including 7 years as a Zen Buddhist monk and decades of leaning towards unconditional love, healing, and self-acceptance. Her book, Luminous Darkness, distinguishes between the evil, coloquially synonymous with "darkness," and a broader concept of luminous or regenerative darkness. She discusses a range of impactful topics such as fierce compassion, moving beyond duality, the healing and sacred nature of darkness (physically and metaphysically), and the path to endarkenment, what Eden calls the path to unconditional love of self and of all.

  • Rejection Junkies with Gary Lawrence
    Jan 19 2024
    Dr Gary Lawrence, lovingly known as Dr G, joins host Johnny Guidry to review the harmful emotional patterns created by rejection experiences, and why we continue to put ourselves in the path of rejection. Dr G offers us a new, broader definition of rejection, including any number of painful emotional experiences and behaviors: agression, isolation, passive-aggressive tendencies, dishonesty, and more. He explains that we become dependent on these painful emotional experiences, and that form of dependence can develop into symptoms of depression, anxiety, violence, and extreme avoidance. A devout Christian, Dr G weaves in his own faith-based experience to explain that simply possessing faith and deep spiritual beliefs isn't enough to break that addiction to emotional pain. Dr G digs deep into his knowledge and expertise to offer listeners suggestions for breaking these devastating patterns. You can find Dr G's book, Rejection Junkies online at his website, www.RejectionJunkies.com . While you're there, you can also take the free quiz "Are You a Rejection Junkie" and learn more about how Dr G helps people break free from painful emotional patterns.

  • The Best of Refractive: You Already Know, You Already Are
    Dec 29 2023
    Host Johnny G shares one of his all-time favorite episodes, truly among the best of Refractive. This episode originally aired in May 2022. We spend so much of our lives scrounging and begging for scraps when there is a banquet laid out at the next table, and it's been put there JUST for us. The truth is, we humans often trade our birthright of magnificence for a life of scratching and clenching and snatching and wishing. Fortunately, we have a treasure map built into our being, it just requires us to seek to quiet the noise around us and re-learn how to access it. Johnny G discusses how holding tightly to careers, relationships, and ideologies that no longer fit keep us small and block our light. He encourages listeners to remember that no matter how dark and rough and confusing life can be, there is one thing for certain: you already know and you already are.
