15
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.960
Ashmida welcome to the show. Thank you. Hey, it's great

16
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.399
to have you. Great to have you on. So what

17
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.240
I'd love for you to do is kind of share

18
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.040
the audience your background, what you know, what's your journey,

19
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.000
and what brought you to this point in your life

20
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.439
where you're doing what you're doing.

21
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:14.200
Beautiful. Yeah, So I had a spiritual awakening as a

22
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.480
lot of people are going through right now. Back in

23
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:23.840
twenty nineteen, and since then, my life has changed dramatically.

24
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.000
I used to be in a very high stress type

25
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:33.519
of lifestyle, functioning like that, functioning as a mom in

26
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.599
my career and throughout my awakening. It it really showed

27
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.519
me how to have inner peace and how to really

28
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.439
root myself and become firm in who I was. And

29
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.640
so now I'm a spiritual teacher. I teach the lessons

30
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.599
that I've lived through and gone through, and aside from

31
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.959
just my teachings, I also help individuals that are in

32
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.760
transitions in their life, be it it's a divorce, or

33
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:06.319
health health issues or just mental instability breakdowns navigate that

34
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.080
with more of a spiritual esoteric feel to it.

35
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.199
Okay, and what's your background as far as work? What

36
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.879
did are? Do you still work another job or no?

37
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.439
No? So I was in real estate and I also

38
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.280
had a scone business, So I was making scones and

39
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.400
selling them and doing that wholesale. And after the awakening,

40
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.960
I have transitioned out and I have Evan Eila, which

41
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.960
is a holistic brand and it's international. We sell things

42
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.439
such as Paula Santo and Sage and birch charts, and

43
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:44.919
everything's very eco friendly and it's all from natural resources,

44
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.400
so we're very careful about our sourcing. But I also

45
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:53.120
am doing my spiritual side of the work, the teachings

46
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.759
and the consultations and the one on ones as well.

47
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.240
Okay, so one of the things. I was talking to

48
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.840
my daughter the other and she was laughing because we

49
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.960
were talking about having conversations, and she says, Dad, she says,

50
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.879
you know what, I would get in so much trouble

51
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.639
with one of my friends because every time I was talking,

52
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:12.960
you know, if I said something and I thought may

53
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.319
not be understood, I'd define it. And then said my

54
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.919
friend got so upset because she felt like I was

55
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.159
believing she wasn't smart enough to understand. But she said,

56
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.360
but I got that from you, and she did because

57
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.520
I had learned long years ago in communication, definition really

58
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.080
helps to understand. So I'd like you to define spirituality.

59
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.319
Yeah. Actually, a lot of people ask are you spiritual?

60
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.800
And this is a question that's being commonly asked to

61
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.360
a lot of people out there right now. Are you spiritual?

62
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.759
How spiritual are you? We're all spirit and so it's

63
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.439
not Spirituality is not something that you choose to be.

64
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.560
It's something that we just are by nature. It's just

65
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.960
a matter of how much we practice and tune ourselves

66
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.039
into our spirituality. Spirituality to me is really when you

67
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.159
allow your intuition to come through into your everyday life.

68
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.680
And so we have intellect from the outside world in

69
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.519
a more grounded sense, and I find that being spiritual

70
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.120
is just connecting with your spirit, connecting with your intuition,

71
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.759
allowing that to flow through you.

72
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.160
And how much is there a religious aspect of that,

73
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.519
as far as believing in the God or believing that

74
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.720
we truly are that spirit within us, which we have

75
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.959
the light within us. How much of that is within

76
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.720
your definition?

77
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.680
Oh? Man, that's a deep question because that yeah, no,

78
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.680
that's great, it's great, you know what. That's It's one

79
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.600
of those questions where there's not one definitive answer. There's

80
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.160
so much to it because religion, at the base of

81
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:01.439
all religion, it's that there's something bigger than us. However,

82
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.199
a lot of the religions have, in my opinion, contorted

83
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.199
it to make it seem as it's separate then, and

84
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.959
it's not. It's we're in my opinion, it's not we're

85
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.120
interconnected and it's all one. It's just the way that

86
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:21.439
it's been presented. So the presentation the aspect of religion

87
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.000
is believe in a higher power, be a good person,

88
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.120
be light. Right, essentially, it's be light. And when it

89
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.319
comes down to religion, it becomes control more of a

90
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.639
controlled type of an atmosphere. And that's also why a

91
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.040
lot of people are going through that dismantling of self

92
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.759
and religion and coming out of their practices because there's

93
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.240
certain things that they don't agree with. There's certain things

94
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.480
in religion that make them feel contracted, and they're going

95
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.680
towards more of a inner dialogue which is making them

96
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.399
feel expanded. So religion, I think it plays its role

97
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.839
in terms of allowing individuals to get to a certain

98
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.360
place where they can then seek more. And religion and

99
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.199
spirituality can go hand in hand. It's just how much

100
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:17.879
of a man made version of religion have that have

101
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.360
we been fed? In a sense?

102
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.839
Well, And you know, it's interesting as I see, you know,

103
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.160
I have I'm on TikTok with my social media, and

104
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.759
every once in a while when I go on there,

105
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.079
I see these anti religious things and what strikes me

106
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.079
and and this may have some pertinence to what we're

107
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.800
going to talk about. I don't know. But what strikes

108
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:47.120
me is that so often when people leave their quote religion,

109
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.040
and I don't disagree with what you were saying, by

110
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:54.879
the way, but when they leave, they leave that spiritual

111
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.279
connection also, and it's fascinating, fascinating to me. For instance,

112
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.199
you know, I happen to have a very deep and

113
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.319
devout belief in Christ. What I call myself a Christian, no,

114
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.720
because I don't like that label, but I have a

115
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.480
belief in Christ. But what I believe is, and you

116
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.160
hit on it with some of the words you said,

117
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.439
is when we can and become one, light is within us.

118
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.560
But why do you think it is that people have

119
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.480
to be an either or, Because what I see is

120
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.920
people go from religious or some type of belief and

121
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:33.319
for whatever reason valid that they decide to leave. Must

122
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.720
they leave out? Why do you think that is? And

123
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.560
how do you help those people to get back into

124
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.079
understanding that you know, you can leave the organization, but

125
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:48.759
you don't have to leave that.

126
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.920
That there's somebody that's growing up in a very controlled

127
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.319
and strict environment where they're not allowed to do anything

128
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.199
actually actually to even put it into more of a perspective.

129
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.439
Some of the Amish community, they have a lot of

130
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.240
rules and restrictions for the youth, and they have I

131
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.639
can't recall what the ceremony is, but it's when they

132
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.000
go out and they get to see how the English

133
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.720
are living. And so they go out and they basically

134
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.360
decide if they want to stay in their Amish community

135
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.959
or they want to convert and leave. And when they

136
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.639
do go out, when people from that strict atmosphere go out,

137
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:30.199
they go wild. It's almost like there's no barriers. And

138
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:36.440
because you've been so constricted and so tight, when you

139
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.600
want to blow off that theme, there's no boundaries. So

140
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.279
where if you're say that you're in a medium control

141
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.759
type of environment and you're going out for the evening,

142
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.919
you might have a couple of drinks or whatever and

143
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.480
have you know, a nice time. When somebody hasn't had

144
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.600
that and they don't know the boundaries, they don't know that,

145
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.440
they don't understand the effects of it on them. They

146
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.759
may have one too many plus say a drug. Plus

147
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.320
they're not aware of their surroundings, so they might get

148
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.639
caught up in something and it gets out of control

149
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.759
really fast. Or it just it works as polar opposites,

150
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:17.879
so either really constricted and when they don't know that,

151
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.159
but the sensible thing is to be able to meet

152
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.320
in the middle, know how to have a good time,

153
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.960
but still have that head on your shoulders. So just

154
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.120
like when they leave religion, they try to leave all

155
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:34.679
aspects of religion, they try to leave the controlled aspects

156
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.320
of it, but also the higher power that they're being

157
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.960
taught within it. Because they may not know that there's

158
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.039
a middle ground. They might think it's either this and

159
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.720
if I'm not a good whatever the religion is, whatever

160
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.000
they're practicing, then then I'm nothing related to it, okay,

161
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.000
and you know what I mean. So it's kind of

162
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.840
and that happens with when kids are going through that

163
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.120
rebellious stage as well. Sometimes it goes a little bit

164
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.879
too far if they're trying to literally rebel from something,

165
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.840
and so sometimes it just takes a little bit of

166
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:15.200
time to get their footing back, and then they might

167
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.799
find that when they go and there is no structure

168
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.159
and it's very different from what they're used to, that

169
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.440
they're uncomfortable there, just as they were uncomfortable when it

170
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.879
was tight. So then they just work their way back

171
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.879
and adjust accordingly.

172
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.080
So how do you have you You know you talked

173
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:36.320
about your spiritual awakening. Are you okay to share what

174
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.840
that was and how that literally changed your direction? Oh?

175
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.720
Yeah, I was in I had this cycle that would

176
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:49.799
keep repeating, which was I would really get it hard,

177
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.320
but I would keep getting sick and it would not

178
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:55.840
make sense. I'd go to the doctor, I'd go to

179
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.799
the hospital. They couldn't really find out what's going on

180
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.600
with me. It was as if my body was turning

181
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.480
on itself, but that would just cause me more stress,

182
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.720
and then that would make it worse, and it got

183
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:15.440
to the point of paralysis and having these hemoplegic migraines

184
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:21.480
and having really bad beuts of my stomach would bloat

185
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.200
up live literally as if I were for ultrasounds and

186
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:27.840
all these things. They just couldn't figure it out because

187
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.679
it would go away. It would come and go and

188
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.879
come and go. And I was in that hustle type

189
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.399
of lifestyle, trying to do be a mom, do the

190
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:40.279
career thing, be a wife, and just have everything very perfect.

191
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:44.120
And as you know, there is no perfection, or we're

192
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:48.559
chasing something that we're never going to reach. Because what

193
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.960
we associate with perfection is not in the realm of

194
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.440
actual reality. And so for me, it was just a

195
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.320
breakdown of high stress medical issues, and everything just kind

196
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.440
of came to a halt where I had to turn

197
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.279
inwards and just start meditating. And as I started meditating,

198
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:12.000
I started realizing that I was having this energy kind

199
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.559
of come through my spine and go up my back.

200
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.600
And at first it was a little bit scary because

201
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.279
I would have these moments of deep vibration in my

202
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.519
body and I didn't know what it was. And here

203
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.639
I am thinking, all, great, it's another medical issue. And

204
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:30.480
so I would say to my husband, do you feel me?

205
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.440
Do you feel me shaking? I think I'm shaking and

206
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.840
he couldn't. And slowly, and day by day it was

207
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.480
going a little higher, a little higher. And one day

208
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.600
I was meditating and I heard a pop and it

209
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.120
was like I could hear it and I can feel

210
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.639
it at the same time. It's right at the top

211
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.120
of my head, like right on the ground. And when

212
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:55.120
that happened, this gateway, this veil lifted, and I would

213
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.960
get downloads and I'd be able to hear my guides,

214
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.679
and I'd have channels coming through and all this information,

215
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:06.360
which then made me think I was going completely insane,

216
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:10.879
because all of a sudden for me, everything opened at once.

217
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.080
It wasn't a gradual type of thing. Everything just went boom,

218
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:22.120
opened up. And now I'm hearing things and knowing things

219
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.799
and not knowing how I know things and feeling things.

220
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.000
And by the way, I was postpartum, so I did

221
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.000
think this was postpartum psychosis.

222
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:30.399
You know.

223
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.120
I said to my house and I think I'm going insane.

224
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.840
And the people that were coming through and things I had,

225
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.399
people that had passed away that were coming through, and

226
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.360
I thought, I'm going crazy, And my husband goes, if

227
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.559
you were going crazy, you would not have been able

228
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.200
to tell me where my grandfather that I've never met

229
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.279
had kept his umbrella, the type of umbrella, and the

230
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.720
fact that he kept it in his kitchen behind the door,

231
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.639
And you wouldn't have been able to tell me the

232
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.559
lamp that he had, or where I used to put

233
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.879
my backpack in his kitchen, And they were just they

234
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.080
were things that you don't know if you're just thinking

235
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.759
or guessing, and so you don't know the accuracy until

236
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.000
you bring it out of your mouth and actually tell

237
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.399
people and they can confirm it for you. So that

238
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.000
was a little bit terrifying because I didn't know if

239
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.240
it was like a judgment that I was I judging

240
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.559
somebody by having this this feeling or this thought or

241
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.600
this knowing about them. But when I would get past

242
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.600
that and introduce to them what was coming through for me,

243
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:36.000
then they were able to say yay or nay or

244
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.919
you know, whatever have you and and it was accurate

245
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.440
and that was that was telling. But it takes them

246
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.200
getting used to.

247
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.639
Well and yeah, that is wild. I've never experienced that.

248
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.559
I know other people who have. And you know, what

249
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.120
comes to my mind is so interesting that you know

250
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.360
people well yeah, pooh pooh, you know, not not believe

251
00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:01.679
that type of thing. But for me, and being very

252
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:06.840
much theologically focused, I've recognized that there is this consciousness.

253
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:11.919
There's this eternal consciousness that exists, and if an individual

254
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.720
is able to tap into that, there is no time.

255
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.200
There is no time, past, present, future is all there.

256
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.080
So to be able to tap into that is just

257
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.320
to me amazing that you could tap into that and

258
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.799
be aware of those instances before and so on and

259
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.679
so forth. So when you start to work with people,

260
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.240
how how do you explain to them? Because you know,

261
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.159
it's one thing to be experiencing this, it's another thing

262
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.240
to kind of have an understanding of what's life really

263
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.200
all about? What is the meaning of life? Why are

264
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.200
we here? What are we here to learn? And so

265
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.279
as you talk to people, what do you feel like

266
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:49.840
the meaning of life really is?

267
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:55.679
Oh? Yeah, the meaning of life is beautiful, is that

268
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:01.000
life is absolutely meaningless. It is absolutely meaningless. We get

269
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.440
to assign the meaning behind our lives, We really get

270
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:09.480
to assign it. And so another thing that kind of

271
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:13.480
goes hand in hand with that is purpose, because they're

272
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.600
looking for the purpose, and a lot of people go

273
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:22.279
on crazy adventures and leave certain things and everyone they

274
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.039
go on this tailspin trying to find what their purpose is.

275
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.960
And our purpose for all of us, in my opinion,

276
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.679
is the same. It's that we're all here to expand,

277
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:38.039
just to expand and live a life of expansion and inspiration.

278
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.879
And so what does that mean? It means simply to

279
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.120
not live a life out of fear, guilt, or obligation.

280
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.320
You want to live your life doing things and not

281
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.519
in an unrealistic way where say, for instance, you say

282
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:55.360
I go to work because I have to go to work,

283
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.759
because I have my children that I have to take

284
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.480
care of. Well, that's a very expansive feeling. If you've

285
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.319
curated this family that you love in door and so

286
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.000
you get fulfillment and abundance from taking care of them.

287
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.160
It's the way that we also perceive our lives on

288
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.319
a day to day basis.

289
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:14.680
Well, and I love what you're talking about. You know,

290
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.720
you use a couple of words. You use perfection, you

291
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.279
use expand, and you know, to me, I think that

292
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.480
what has happened with this common pot of perfection? I

293
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.839
think it's come religiously. I really do, because you have

294
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:30.960
you know, be there for perfect and all that kind

295
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.480
of stuff. But you get to the meaning of what

296
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:38.000
was actually said. It wasn't perfection, it was complete, It

297
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.039
was expansion. And so I think you hit it right

298
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.640
on the head that we're here to become complete, to

299
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:50.440
expand our spirit within us because we have this physical

300
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.920
body that has all sorts of things. You know, you

301
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.359
talk about people wanting this, people wanting that. Talk about ego.

302
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:58.599
What does the ego do to us? And how do

303
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:03.599
we how do we overcome the ego aspects that are

304
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.799
not beneficial to us so that we can truly expand

305
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:13.240
internally and really become who we ought to become or

306
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:13.920
can become.

307
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:19.079
Yeah, ego. Ego is not our foe, and it is

308
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.799
so misunderstood. When I had my awakening, the way that

309
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.119
I actually had channeled ego is that it is anything

310
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.000
that's absorbed from outside of us through our senses, the

311
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:34.359
things that we've seen, things that for instance, your family,

312
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.480
that's something that's so close to us, right our kids

313
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:42.880
are our spouse or are our parents, So that is

314
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.839
also ego. It's something that we have learned from outside

315
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.880
of us that this is what family looks like, this

316
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.079
is what family is supposed to mean to us. So

317
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.759
even that can be ego just as much as a car,

318
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.519
or just as much as something monetary that we think

319
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.480
ego coincides with. So ego is all those things that

320
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.440
can make your human experience very abundant for you. And

321
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:11.400
so it's not a bad thing if you know where

322
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.839
it's coming from. It's not a bad thing if you

323
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.440
can play with it. See, it comes down to the

324
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.920
understanding of self. A lot of things. We're going to

325
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.400
go more into this in the coming years, but it's

326
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.200
going to go into really understanding who we are, what

327
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.000
we are, and why we are because we're here as

328
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.240
like to expand. We're not here as a wife or

329
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.359
a husband, or a business associate or anything like that.

330
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.799
We're here to expand as an individual. And what that

331
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.799
means is up to us to assign. But when we

332
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.880
work with the ego, we get caught up thinking that

333
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.359
the ego is us. The person driving the nice car

334
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.559
is us, the person without the car is us.

335
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.720
Well, and you know, it's fascinating. A couple of weeks ago,

336
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:03.279
I interview a fellow Africa and he's now in the

337
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.799
United States and has become educating and so forth. But

338
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:10.640
he comes from an extremely poor village and one of

339
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.079
his goals now is to be able to help those folks.

340
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:16.720
But as we were talking, it was interesting how he

341
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.359
brought up this point. He says, you know, here in

342
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.319
the US, and this goes to ego. Here in the US,

343
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:24.440
you know, we have to have everything. I mean, if

344
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:27.079
if you don't have X amount of dollars coming in,

345
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.559
you're poor and so forth. And we were kind of

346
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:35.079
joking about it, but being real too because I'm in Thailand, okay,

347
00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:41.160
and here people. If they're earning, if they're earning four, three, four,

348
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.319
five hundred dollars a month, they're living comfortably. For him,

349
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.039
he says, the average person there in his village was

350
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.000
one hundred dollars a month. Okay, he said, but he

351
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.039
brought up this point, he says, but the amazing thing

352
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.440
is that they're happy. They're happy. Now we look at

353
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.160
the United States and oh, my goodness, if you're not

354
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.400
earning X amount of dollars, you're not happy. If you

355
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:06.319
don't have the nice car, If you don't have the

356
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.599
nice house, you don't have this. If you don't have that,

357
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:12.640
you're not happy. How do you help people to overcome

358
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:16.160
this concept of I need this to be happy?

359
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:20.240
Oh, Matt, you know what this is. This has been

360
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:25.480
less of an uptick actually than the opposite, because more

361
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.400
of the people coming through right now have achieved that

362
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.759
and they're not happy.

363
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.720
Well well that's that's my point. Yeah, they have it

364
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:35.640
and they're not happy, or they don't have it and

365
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.920
they're not happy. Either way.

366
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:42.440
Yeah, either way. I think that it ultimately comes down

367
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.440
to knowing yourself. I say that there's two different things

368
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.759
that we don't realize. There's abundance, and there's fulfillment, And

369
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.839
so fulfillment is when we are in touch knowing that

370
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.720
we are like when I say light, I mean we

371
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.079
are whole. We are already whole. So if you want

372
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.680
that abundance in your life, you can only want what

373
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.480
you already have felt. You won't crave something to eat

374
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.200
if you've never eaten it before or tasted that type

375
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.680
of a flavor, you can't crave it. You wouldn't know

376
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.079
to crave it. So if there's a feeling that you

377
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.160
want to aspire to, then that means you already have

378
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.799
that within you. You felt that abundance. It's internal. The

379
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:24.680
things on the outside are just these icons. And when

380
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:26.839
you start to live in the vibration of what you

381
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.880
already want, which you want to feel, you just stay

382
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.319
in that internal vibration, then you're going to see things

383
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.799
changing on the outside of you as well. But if

384
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:40.720
you're constantly in that lack mentality, you're constantly in that

385
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:43.319
I need these things, it's not the thing. The things

386
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.799
are never going to be enough. You can get all

387
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.039
the things, they're just not going to be enough. And

388
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.599
so you challenge them, you tell them, hey, imagine yourself.

389
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.240
You typically, if something like that, I'd want to bring

390
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.000
them into a deep meditative state to have them go

391
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:01.960
in and feel what it would mean to have those

392
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.160
things and then ask them what it would feel like

393
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.759
when it gets taken away from them. Okay, so is

394
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.559
it really yours if it can be taken away? Because

395
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.559
if you own it, if that is truly a part

396
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.279
of your soul, it cannot be taken away, It cannot

397
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:21.279
be broken. These things are part of the human experience

398
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:26.039
to have to enjoy, but to understand that it shouldn't

399
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.160
have that attachment that we've been taught to give it,

400
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.480
that that amount of weight in our life life, right,

401
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.039
it shouldn't. It shouldn't have that type of force. So

402
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.200
when they're seeing more and more that there's individuals coming

403
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.319
out that have reached the sense of peace, they're going

404
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.400
to start to ultimately look inside in themselves. And with

405
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.839
us changing from the Piician era to the Aquarian era,

406
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:58.680
before it was all about outside obtainment and obtaining scholarships

407
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:03.039
or different degrees and different jobs and all these different things.

408
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.680
It was all about obtainment, and now it's all going within.

409
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.240
The Aquarian era is very much more in the air

410
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:14.599
and in intuition, and so people are going more and

411
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.079
they're trying to leave these religions and find what really

412
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.240
resonates with them on a personal soul level. So we're

413
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.839
seeing it kind of shift already and it's going.

414
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.599
To continue to do.

415
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:25.799
So.

416
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:29.559
Yeahah, and So one of the one of the things

417
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.920
that I'm fascinated about is, I know you have some

418
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.799
interesting stories. And you know, as we talk about people's

419
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.400
life experiences, about the energy that they experienced and so forth,

420
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.880
one of the things that you know you talk about,

421
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.160
and one of the stories that I want you to

422
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:50.119
share with us is how those imprints from childhood, those

423
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:53.799
things that happen that are oftentimes so totally subconscious that

424
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.480
we don't even realize, and yet our lives are mere

425
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.799
layer reflection of those limiting leaves that then create our behavior.

426
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.240
And so I know you have one story where you

427
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.839
talked about you were working with someone who was had

428
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.480
patterns of overindulgence. Could you share with the audience that

429
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:16.440
story and how you helped them and how they overcame that,

430
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:19.279
because I think we all experience that in one way

431
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:19.799
or another.

432
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.319
Yeah. Yeah, First, I'd like to start by just also

433
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.960
letting the audience know that when we do go through

434
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.559
different challenges in our life, whether it be childhood or

435
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:34.440
in adulthood, these things are agreed upon at a soul

436
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:39.039
level to help us further along our expansion in this

437
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:45.079
human experience. So sometimes it's very challenging, sometimes it's not

438
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.079
as challenging. The imprints are just meant to give us

439
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.880
that contraction so that we can expand, because you can't

440
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.359
have one without the other for this experiment to work.

441
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.960
There's actually a couple that I've had, so there was

442
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.519
one where it was imprinted on them where they basically

443
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:08.640
played out their parents' dynamic, but now in a form

444
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.279
of addiction. And so the same dynamics that they had

445
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.559
felt once with their parents is how they were viewing

446
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.759
their addiction, and they didn't know that they had turned

447
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.640
into that same type of cycle that they were going through.

448
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.839
But the over indulgence is it's something that we don't

449
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:31.000
realize that we think now that we're adults, that we

450
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:34.720
can now that we have the resources to go out

451
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:38.559
and get what we need to get and to enjoy

452
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:41.720
the things when we want to enjoy the things that

453
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:47.240
they're still a backstory to why we want to. One

454
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.039
of the stories I can share is that there is

455
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.480
an individual who worked really, really hard and whenever they did,

456
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.920
they didn't get paid by their parents. What they did

457
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.039
get was a lot of fast food. That was their

458
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:01.119
reward for the work that they were doing at the

459
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:05.440
family's establishment. It was the fast food. And so coming

460
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:10.079
into their adulthood, they would just overindulge and overindulge in

461
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:16.440
bad health habits, thinking that that's what abundance, that's what success,

462
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.960
that's what comfort looked like to them, and they didn't

463
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:24.240
realize that it was because before they would get nothing

464
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:27.720
but that, and they bought that imprint with them into

465
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:32.039
their adulthood as well, to a state where they weren't happy.

466
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.960
They were over indulging in quite a bit of different things,

467
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:39.480
which was hurting their health and making them unhappy in

468
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.599
different ways, making them feel less than which was all

469
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.759
the things that they felt when they were younger because

470
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.359
they were doing everything and it felt forced on them.

471
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.000
They had so much responsibility, they didn't feel they had

472
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.440
a lack of confidence because their life was so curated

473
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.000
by a parent figure that they felt like they had

474
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.920
had no sense of self. So their little bit of

475
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.200
joy came from this bad habit that was very easy

476
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:09.240
for the parents to kind of here you go things

477
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:12.759
for your help. But now in their adulthood, they still

478
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:14.880
didn't have that sense of self. They still thought that

479
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.920
these things from the outside and indulging in that would

480
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:20.799
bring them a sense of self. But in doing that,

481
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:24.519
and in doing that and other things as well, purchasing things, shopping,

482
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.599
they were consuming and consuming to where they started to

483
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.160
realize they were getting in debt, their body was getting

484
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.640
out of control. All these things were outside of their

485
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.559
control because now they thought that they were in control

486
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.960
of their life. Finally, it was really interesting and just

487
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.920
bringing it back down and showing them that the reason

488
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.720
that you are purchasing, the reason that you are eating,

489
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:50.759
the reason that you are taking all these things from

490
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:53.880
outside of you and putting it internally is because of

491
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.400
that lack of control. And it kind of goes to

492
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:58.880
what we were speaking about with the religion as well. Right,

493
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:00.839
Sometimes you go from here all the way to hear

494
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.599
when you feel like you have that leeway to play

495
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:05.799
with because you don't know that there can be a

496
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:07.319
very healthy middle ground.

497
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.880
So every you know, we all experience that cemetery I

498
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.200
don't know that anyone that's human has not experienced I'm

499
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.119
not good enough or whatever that happens to be. And

500
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:20.680
I think that insight that you had there is amazing.

501
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:24.480
So how do you help them to re purpose that

502
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:29.720
experience or reposition that experience so that it goes away

503
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.599
and they can use it, for instance, with growth and

504
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:39.000
perhaps even recognizing that having experienced that, I can help

505
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:41.680
other people who have experienced the same thing once they

506
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:44.599
overcome it. But how do you help people to reprogram

507
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.319
that so that no longer do they look at it

508
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:48.920
this way, but they can look at it in a

509
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.880
more positive way.

510
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:53.440
Yeah, So it's all alchemy. So it's really you know,

511
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.680
when we even talk about healing and things like that,

512
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:00.279
they're not broken, there's nothing to heal. It's really it's

513
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:04.680
really just taking that situation and showing them the opposite

514
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:07.200
side and the alchemy between it. I could tell you

515
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.400
for this individual, they were such a great resource for

516
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:17.839
bridging the gap for other people. Their internal compass, their

517
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.359
gift this world is bridging a gap. So they had

518
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.559
to bridge that gap between what they were truly feeling

519
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:31.799
in lack of and what they were over over consuming

520
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:35.960
and bridge the gap between where would they find that

521
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.720
middle ground of being able to enjoy life knowing that

522
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:42.400
they're enough. And so one of the things is on

523
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.039
a soul level, I'm able to tap in and see

524
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.279
it almost shows to me in a pattern like state,

525
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:51.680
so I can see what their soul is here to

526
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.599
teach them. So if I'm sitting with them, I could

527
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:56.519
say right away, your soul's here to teach you to

528
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.440
take this experience or take this feeling and alcoel to

529
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:02.119
this feeling, and that's what you're meant to share with

530
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:06.680
the world. But to just say that to somebody without

531
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.759
that middle portion of how to get from A to

532
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:13.200
B gets very very confusing. So I typically take them

533
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:16.079
through the feeling what did you feel at this moment?

534
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.519
Why did you feel it? Okay, why do you think

535
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:21.920
you felt that? And we go all the way down

536
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:27.799
to the three foundations fear, guilt, and obligation and contraction.

537
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:32.279
When they feel contraction, it always breaks down into those three,

538
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.440
either one or all three. So we find what the

539
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:37.920
root is and we alchemize it.

540
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.720
We simply define alchemy. You keep using the word alchemy.

541
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:43.680
I had no clue what you're talking about.

542
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:48.640
Oh, Okay, So alchemy to turn one thing into another. Okay,

543
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:53.559
So to turn contraction into expansion, got it? Yeah, so

544
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:57.759
for this individual, and it's good to talk about this

545
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.920
one so the audience can follow along with journey as well.

546
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.240
When they were taking it from a state of feeling

547
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:06.359
very contracted, when they had that job that they had

548
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.039
to go to, regardless of what they wanted to do

549
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.759
or how old they were, they had to work in

550
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:15.680
that family establishment. They felt contracted all the time. They

551
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:18.440
had that little bit of enjoyment when it was given

552
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:22.359
to them, But once they got out of that atmosphere

553
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.720
and that job, then they started doing it to themselves.

554
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:28.960
They now had the abundance to be able to obtain

555
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.000
those things, but when they obtained it, they still put

556
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:35.720
themselves in almost like a jail like lock because they

557
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.279
felt like, I need these things. I need to continuously

558
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:43.640
get these things to feel free. But that in itself

559
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:45.440
is a lock, you know, do you see what I mean?

560
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:49.480
They put themselves in that lock to say, what is

561
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:53.319
real freedom, the real freedom, the real alchemy in that

562
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.480
situation is to understand that you are free at a

563
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.960
soul level, at a very deep level, you are free.

564
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.720
You don't need any of those things. The fact that

565
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:06.119
you thought that you needed those things is because it

566
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.319
was embedded to you to get to this very moment

567
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:13.880
that you can free yourself from those chains. Okay, yeah,

568
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.440
you thought that at one point that's what you need

569
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.279
to be free. But now when you get those things,

570
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.480
you realize that you've made your own imprisonment. Now let's

571
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.839
release all of those chains and now you're free. So

572
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:27.480
now when you indulge, you know.

573
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.119
Yeah, you've talked about meditation, you know, and you talk

574
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:34.920
about how you've been able to siphully understand that. What

575
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.519
about all of these people that need or choose to

576
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.440
do it on their own? And first of all, this

577
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:46.000
pattern recognition and how does that relate to you knows,

578
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.039
there's more and more talk about, you know, patterns and

579
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:55.119
energy and vibration and all of that type of thing.

580
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:59.640
How do you help people or how do you advise

581
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:04.039
people using for instance, and you talked about meditation. How

582
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:08.760
important is meditation And how do they recognize these patterns

583
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:11.960
that are shaping their lives and recognizing that they're not

584
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:16.360
good patterns? And then what process can they go through

585
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.880
in order to change that if they're not able to

586
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.920
or they choose not to, and by the way, I

587
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:26.519
think they should. But if they don't choose initially to

588
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:27.599
get some help.

589
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:33.719
Yeah, it's a very deep, deep, transformative type of process

590
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:36.360
that I bring them through. And so it's not in

591
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:39.679
a state where if somebody's just slightly unhappy with their

592
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:43.800
life or or something's bothering them, that I wouldn't consider

593
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.800
them ready for that level of transformation. It's really out

594
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:50.079
of it's really for individuals that I work with when

595
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:53.519
they're at a breaking point, when they've really hit rock bottom,

596
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:56.920
and that alchemy time as I spoke about, that transformation

597
00:34:56.960 --> 00:35:00.119
from one to another can really be held with the

598
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:04.119
right amount of care and need, because it's kind of

599
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.199
like somebody that wants to lose weight, but it's not

600
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.840
really a major problem. They don't have as much drive

601
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.159
and it doesn't hurt as bad, you know, to really

602
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:17.360
make a big, big change in their life. So they

603
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:20.840
might do a little things and that might help them along,

604
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:26.679
but that real transformation type of a program that I run,

605
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.880
it wouldn't be suited for that individual. So one of

606
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.840
the things is you cannot have the transformation without clarity.

607
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:36.920
So it always has to start with the clarity, and

608
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:41.280
the clarity is based around understanding what we are and

609
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:44.000
that we are all one, we are from source, and

610
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.280
how that works, how that really really works at a

611
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:49.719
soul level, how we're not separate then, how we are

612
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.639
all one, How everything that we are experiencing is outside

613
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.719
of ourselves. And this is not it's not a simple thing.

614
00:35:56.760 --> 00:36:00.199
It's not in a couple sessions and they automatically get

615
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.880
it unless they come in with that knowing already. It

616
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:10.119
takes reprogramming, reprogramming and deprogramming and deconstruction of belief systems

617
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:12.760
because one of the biggest things is we've got to

618
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:16.360
get into why you believe what you believe? Really, why

619
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:18.639
do you believe it? What at the core of your

620
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:22.199
belief system? Where do you think you inherited it? Was

621
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.119
it through religion, was it through family? Was it through

622
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:29.480
the education system? Where was it from? And does it

623
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:32.840
really make sense for you right now? And if you

624
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:35.519
could choose what your beliefs are, what would they be?

625
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:41.519
So really letting them take the reins on reprogramming themselves,

626
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.239
because if somebody is trying to transform but they're still

627
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:50.880
so attached to the outside societal pressures and what society

628
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.239
deems as correct and incorrect. In all of these things,

629
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:58.360
they're still there's still this very deep attachment.

630
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:01.440
Yeah, the egle is right there.

631
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:05.079
Yeah, Well they have to understand what the egos part is,

632
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:08.360
because the ego is here to allow us to play

633
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.840
as a human, to play. Because if we imagine it, say,

634
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:15.039
as a video game, and we have all these fancy

635
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:18.719
shiny things everywhere and different types of relationships and all

636
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.159
these kind of things in that video game, if we

637
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.360
weren't meant to have it and enjoy it, it wouldn't

638
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.239
be in the video game. We're meant to have it

639
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:30.119
and enjoy it. But it's not why we are. It's

640
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:33.360
just things that we can enjoy while we're here.

641
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:36.320
Yeah, And there's the key part of it is understanding

642
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:38.960
that it has nothing to do with you know, if

643
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:42.719
I have this, then I am this. Rather if I'm

644
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.000
able to enjoy this, this is just a blessing and

645
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:49.519
I can be grateful for that. How much meditation do

646
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:53.199
you use? And I think that's I think it's interesting

647
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:56.679
because I think now people are starting to really understand

648
00:37:56.719 --> 00:38:00.159
that meditation has some great value in their lives, and

649
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:03.000
how much meditation is you're working with people, do you

650
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.960
use for them to be able to tap into that

651
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.039
inner light and inner self?

652
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.280
You know, half the time they don't even realize that

653
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:14.480
they are meditating, because in truth, when you're meditating, you're

654
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.920
just going into a state of inner wisdom and quiet,

655
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:21.440
and all that you're doing is removing the distortion. So

656
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:24.960
sometimes it can look like the typical meditative state where

657
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:27.280
you lie down and go into almost a trance, like

658
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.519
try to state, and I talk to you through it

659
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:33.639
and guide I do a guided meditation. And other times

660
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:37.920
it's just in that silence of listening and understanding and

661
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.039
tearing away distortion, because then they can hear that voice

662
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.079
that's always been talking to them, but they just haven't

663
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:49.800
allowed it to speak, they haven't allowed it to speak

664
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:54.400
without distortion. But I do quite a bit actually of meditation,

665
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:57.639
and for myself as well, I used to do a

666
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:01.440
lot more meditation until I to a state of more

667
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:04.920
of an embodiment, so I'm able to kind of tap

668
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:06.960
in and tap out even if I'm washing the dishes

669
00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:11.199
or or just being quiet. In those moments, I'm just

670
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:14.840
very clear on my vessel, and I have to be

671
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:20.079
to allow force to come through with the messages. So yeah,

672
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:26.000
meditation is everybody's just learning that they need moments of quiet,

673
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:29.280
and that quiet is not just quiet from sound, but

674
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:33.360
it's quiet from thoughts, it's quite from embedded things that

675
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:37.519
we've seen and heard. It's just quiet, and then they'll

676
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:41.599
feel because the meditative steak can just come through as

677
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:44.639
feelings as well, and then they'll feel a pull towards

678
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:45.800
something well.

679
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:51.280
So it's been an interesting discussion. I think we could

680
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.800
probably do this for a couple more times. There's so

681
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.159
much to talk about. You have so much wisdom here,

682
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.800
which I really appreciate. Thank you. So we close. What

683
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:03.840
would be kind of that message that you'd like to

684
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:06.639
leave with the with the folks that are listening.

685
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:10.880
Yeah, if you're going through anything that feels like a

686
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.679
hard time, this is key. There is always one problem

687
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.639
in the world that you could be going through, and

688
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:22.559
there's always one solution. The problem is always an attachment

689
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:27.119
and the solution is always detachment, and that that can

690
00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:31.360
be a very deep one to discover yourself. But but

691
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:35.400
the key is there, there is inner peace. And this

692
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:37.519
is not coming from me just saying it as a

693
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:41.280
spiritual teacher, but somebody that has lived through a lot

694
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:45.239
of not just health issues, but just life getting very,

695
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.480
very extremely hard. And yes, you can come out the

696
00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:52.079
other side and find that inner piece. It is absolutely possible.

697
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:56.480
Oh love it. Thank you, Ashmida. This has just been wonderful.

698
00:40:56.519 --> 00:41:01.159
I appreciate it. Thank you, and I hope it's been

699
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:03.840
good for you too. I think it's interesting how as

700
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:06.760
we are able to share our thoughts and our experiences

701
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.840
with others, realizing that as we're able to do that,

702
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:13.599
if we can just reach one person that will change

703
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.440
their direction in life, it's worth it. Yeah, yeah, it's

704
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.039
worth it. So anyway, thank you so much, and folks,

705
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.320
thanks for listening. Hope you've enjoyed it. Look forward to

706
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:26.639
having you join us again soon. This is doctor Doug saying,

707
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:27.920
no mistake.
