What You Acknowledge You Get
In this episode, Barry Long highlights the power of acknowledgment—what you acknowledge, you get. He explores how the mind’s fixation on negativity fuels unhappiness and how shifting our focus to the present and appreciating life’s simple goodness can transform our circumstances. Barry explains the importance of seeing facts rather than being caught in emotions, the role of meditation in ending worry, and the necessity of clearing psychological blockages to restore life's natural flow. With deep insight, he offers a practical approach to living with clarity, presence, and gratitude.

‘And you're supposed to have this psychic flow, this glorious invisible psychic flow, no blockage, no thinking to stop the beautiful psychic flow, which comes from the deep psyche inside, the pure psyche inside your body.’
