In this Healing Mindset episode, Richard Smith breaks down his Orbits of Consciousness framework. A practical map for emotional growth, spiritual awakening, and self-compassion. Instead of “leveling up” in a straight line, we move in cycles. From ego-driven protection and dark places into connection, calm, and clarity. You will hear how judgment quietly blocks growth, why returning to earlier stages is normal, and how daily practices like presence and nature reconnect you to a bigger sense of meaning. This is grounded spirituality without the fluff. Useful for anyone navigating anxiety, self-criticism, grief, or a desire for deeper peace. About the Guest : Richard Smith is the author of A Phenomenal Life and the creator of the Orbits of Consciousness framework, developed through his coaching work. His approach is practical, visual, and non-dogmatic. Built to help people understand their inner patterns with less judgment and more clarity. Key Takeaways: Growth is orbital, not linear. You cycle through protection, awareness, compassion, and expansion, returning with new wisdom instead of “failing.” Low orbits feel tight. Fear, grief, depression, and self-loathing create gravity that shrinks your world and makes communication harder. Your current orbit colors perception. Name the orbit before you fully trust the story you’re telling yourself about people and life. Awareness often arrives after movement. Many people recognize a low orbit only once they start shifting into a roomier one. Most people live in the sustaining orbit. Life functions, yet judgment, irritation, and self-criticism still yank you back toward the center. Connection is the lever. Reconnect to your feelings, then to other people, then to something larger, God, the divine, the universe. Judgment is the ceiling. Each judgment separates you from self, others, and the world, blocking access to calmer, connected orbits. Nature and beauty can lift you quickly. Walks, sunsets, prayer, meditation, and friends can open the channel to clarity. Returning is normal. Real life pulls you back, but practiced presence and practices make the climb out quicker. You’ll know it’s lived when you feel it. Calm, equanimity, belonging, and an “at home” sense become the markers, not labels.
