This Week on the Live Your Light Show: This week's guest on the Live Your Light Show is Ranil Sharma!

Emily personally met him during her awakening in Bali he was instrumental in her personal transformation which is why she asked him to be on the Live Your Light Show. The process of this evolutionary work is to unblock defenses, move the stuck energy to create healthy flow, to transform the negative, distorted emotions back to the core self and this is precisely what Emily experienced during a weekend intensive with Ranil & is exactly what she wishes to facilitate to her listeners who are ready to embark on a transformation of their own.

The energy that emanates out is what you should focus on." "Leadership isn't all about others. Leadership is about who we are and our connection to our authentic self and our commitment to being in that place of truth" "Ultimately it doesn't matter what we are doing. If we are in our truth, everyone knows it!" "The 'Dark Side" is where the deepest work is done." "When we suppress components of our personality, it doesn't matter how good of a person you are or how positive you are, we all have that shadow side and that's linked to that survival response… however, it is also held in our body, in our emotions, belief systems, and our energy field. When it is held there, it limits our flow and that limits ourselves and our expression in the world. So that's where the deepest changes are and we should strive to be okay with working on that" "The challenge is for each of us to get back to what we're meant to do that creates an alignment that will manifest creative tension that can fuel what I am going to do today to create a more conscious choice to create new outcomes" 'There's nothing better than sharing our own journey [and experiences] to help others understand' Advice to his teenage self & to us: 'Take a moment, take a nice deep long breath. think of your connection with God and know that you are enough in who you are. You don't have to rise above and be the best at anything because what you think is the best has nothing to do with what really matters. The best is, who can you be inside yourself and learning how to discover that. All of these other measures are just the yearning for connection and acknowledgment.'
