What's he throughout the impossible or whatever I made? I have the improbable most
be true. And it is not a question of the Libo cultism. What
a touch of mysticism is today? It is Empires as a host of them
souls, hellophaps, my father spirit dud for a certain termed work the night
yere the old gods aunt dead? And what is the true God when he's
dead? You can't complain. People assume the time is a strict progression of
cause to effect. That actually, from a nonlinear, non subjective viewpoint,
it's more like a big ball of whiby wobbly timey. Whymy stuff. You're
listening to Paranormal UK Radio and good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of
the Paranormal UK Radio Show, the flagship show here on the Paranormal UK Radio
Network. I'm your main host for the evening, Mark Johnson. Irene Allen
unfortunately is having some back issues tonight, so she's taking the night off,
so I'm working solo tonight. Just send Irene some healing energy and hopefully she's
feeling better soon. So and you know when I was over there visiting her
in August, Yeah, I could tell her back. It's not fun having
back problems. Thankfully, I've never had that issue, so don't want it.
So anyway, hopefully we will have her back next time. So anyway,
I just wanted to welcome everybody back to the show. I don't really
have a lot of new updates at this point in time. We are coming
up on Halloween very soon, my favorite time of the year, and this
year is just flying by. There's a lot of things going on in the
world right now. You know, I really don't touch on politics or things
right now, but if you know, people can say some prayers or keep
good thoughts for things to get better, healing people who are who are in
the middle of all this. Good God, what a weird time to be
alive, I'll tell you. So. Anyway, I think we're going to
go right into our show tonight now. Our guest tonight is an author of
a new book called Enter the Journey, a Mystical Guide for Rebirth and Renewal.
So we want to welcome our guest Rosanna. I inco Rosanna, how
are you tonight, Hi Mark, I'm doing great, Thank you, and
I would like to just send wonderful wishes, best wishes and speedy recovery to
Irene, and I know what back pain's like, and I really feel for
her, so I'm sorry she can't join us, but I'm sending lots of
feeling vibes from Sedona. Great place to be broadcasting from. I'll tell you,
if you want to send good energy, then that's the place to do
it. It sure is. I'm originally from California, California, Los Angeles,
and I've been through Arizona before in New Mexico in the Four Corners area,
and yet I've never made it to Sedona, which, as I mentioned,
is on my bucket list just for the energy and the beauty of the
location. Oh, it's stunning and you're really gonna love it, Mark,
So I really encourage you to come and visit. You'll know exactly when the
right time is for you to come, but you're gonna love it. And
I encourage everyone to visit Sedona. It really is a magical, mystical place.
Now, let's talk about a little bit about you and your background and
what led you on your journey and to writing this book. Well, how
far back can we go? So what led me on my spiritual journey?
Probably about thirty years ago, I ended up in Glastonbury in the UK and
I was invited to a sweat lodge with a Native American elder and that completely
changed my life. I was having a lot of visions, I was having
a lot of dreams, a lot of sechronicity that led me to that moment.
But what it turned out to be, although it was a blissful time,
it was actually quite a scary time. Again. I was very naive
at the time, but my dreams kept warning me and it turned out that
this so called shaman was actually a sorcerer who was trying to make me wife
number nine. Oh, so that's in my first book, which is the
prequel to Enter the Journey. So my first book is Awakening the Divine Soul,
Finding your life Purpose, and that led me onto this book, Enter
the Journey. So many synchronicities and many teachers, and a lot of going
through the dark Knight of the soul coming out the other side. And as
we continue to be you know, students on this journey, this mystical journey
of life. Well, you know are listeners who've been following me. I
ad trussed me. I know all about the dark Night of the soul.
I've been going through it for the last year. My wife passed away last
year. Yeah, so it's I definitely understand that struggle. When you first
mentioned doing a Native American sweat lodge in Glastonbury, of all things go,
that's an odd location for it. He was on tour. Yeah, I
guess he's out shopping for that new wife. No, well, maybe there
was fifteen in the end. I don't know. But I was the lucky
one who got I got away thanks to my spirit animals, my beautiful wolf
pack that kept occurring in a dream and warning me, you know, showing
me the gate leave, you know, exit, go through the exit and
don't come back. Well, when did you start having these types of dreams?
Well, I've been a strong dreamer since I was a child. My
late mother, she passed away this year in March. Thank you. She
was, Yeah, she was. She was Catholic, although she was not
really traditional, she was very spiritual. So when I was a young girl,
you know, she would always openly talk about the dream time, and
she would talk about you know, departed loved ones, my relatives and ancestors
who had passed away, and you know that for me, it was a
place of safety because I knew that that you live on I knew that life
continues after death, that it's just a transition. So that's when I started
having a lot of dreams and really remembering dreams and then trying to analyze the
dreams. And then my mother's best friend, wonderful Greek lady, who was
like a second mom to me, she also talked about the dream time,
and again we used to just have these credible discussions. She was also a
coffee reader, so you know, we would have Greek coffee and she would
read my cup and you know, and then I started moving into into another
world, an expansion of the dream time and bringing you know, the dream
time and this time, you know, merging the two realities together. Very
interesting, the the aspect of the with the dream time and the different types
of did you find your dreams more symbolic or prophetic? I'd said both,
Probably it symbolic. That would that would be very strong, and I would
go with that. You know, I would analyze the dreams and I would
analyze the symbols. But then I would have a lot of premonitions as well.
And what had happened was that started to scare me. And as I
went through my teenage years, all of the connections to spirit were getting stronger,
and the energy was becoming very strong, and I was at a heightened
point with it. And then I moved to the UK when I was twenty
four, and then met an incredible group of spiritual people and a community,
a wonderful community, and I started to feel safe and it felt like a
really safe place for me to explore further. And then I really started to
connect more profoundly with nature, and again that helped me to feel even more
safe, and I felt really at home. And I still do. I
feel very much at home in nature and very nurturing energy, and I wasn't
I was no longer afraid. You have walked a path of studying shamanic arts,
which is something very close to me. I have been kind of on
and off of shamanic path for many years now, with some big breaks in
between because life intervenes and whatnot. But I have done with shamanic journeying and
even trained for a year with some teachers who were students of Sandra Ingerman and
who I see you know wrote a review for your book and Lovely Woman,
I absolutely love her so coming off of her teas and so I studied to
be a shamanic practitioner for a year. Unfortunately, again, life intervened right
after that, and I haven't really been able to do much with it.
Now this year, I'm trying to find ways to reconnect and get back into
it because I loved it so much and I was sad that when I had
to kind of put things aside to deal with other life issues. So the
whole journeying thing, which I'm struggling with these days, i'm struggling with.
I think I can't turn off my monkey brain, so when I try to
journey, it's just all the clutter and everything else that it's in my mind
and I can't move past it. Keep trying, though, can I can?
I ask you, Mark, when you're journeying, do you journey with
the drum? Do you do you have a rattle or do you use anything
else to journey? I have used Sandra's drum tracks that she had previously recorded,
and I listened to those. I have a drum and a rattle.
I've never tried to journey while drumming and rattling at the same time. I
always felt like that's counterproductive because you're so busy doing your own thing. I've
had people drum for me, but not doing it myself, and then trying
to journey and have you played your drum or have you used your rattle?
Not in a while? No, Okay, no, I have them.
But again, it's one of those things where I put things aside for the
last few years. So now I'm trying to get back into it, but
it's I don't really have the resources I did before my friends retired, and
and there's I'm back out here in New Jersey and there's not really a lot
out here of people to connect with on the shamanic level. M hm.
So anyway, that's just with some of my issues. Let's talk more about
you and your book. So when you first started, you had the dreams
and you started realizing your spirit animals were on were wolf was your spirit animal.
I've always had an incredible love for wolves, and I would always dream
of wolves, and honestly, I'm I am a wolf spirit. I really
am. You know, the pack of wolves that came to me in that
time where I really was in danger, it was so profound, you know,
I've even talking about I get emotional because there's such a love, there's
such a bond with these beautiful wolves, and yeah, they did save me
from that situation, and I just continued my relationship with them. And I
totally understand what you were saying. And I really want to thank you Mark
for sharing you know, your story with me and with the viewers right now
with the listeners, because life does take over, and you know, we
we sort of step off our rhythm and what we forget and you know I've
done it and many people do it is that they're always there for us.
They're there. Yes, the more we journey, the more we invoke their
spirit, their energy. You know, we could even draw a picture of
them, write a poem for our spirit animals, talk to them, sing
to them, or even just just think of them. We tend to forget
when we're going through these times that they are actually here for us, you
know, the most. But we're human, our human side takes over and
we forget. So I totally understand you know what you're what you were saying.
Now, just for the listeners who may not be totally up on shamanism,
can you give a brief explanation from your point of view of what that
entails. Sure from my point of view, Well, there's different types of
shamanism. There's traditional shamanism across cultural shamanism. And the type of shamanism that
I'm connected to is the same as Sandra Ingerman. You know, I trained
through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies with Michael Harner, and then I trained with
some wonderful teachers under that, and then I trained with Jonathan Horowitz who founded
the Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies in Denmark and he's in Sweden now. So
so the type of journeying that I connect to is the way that I was
taught through that type of journeying with a drum or even a rattle or a
didgerido, And it was the technique that was taught Michael Harner had taught all
of us and through his book The Way of the Shaman that he had learned
from the Havaro Indians of the Upper Amazon. So it's a basic technique of
going into an altered state of consciousness through the drum journey. Or again,
it could be a crystal bowl, or it could be a didgerido, or
it could be a rattle and it's a way of taming or just shutting off
or hoping that the monkey mind is going to shut off through breathing, through
listening to the drum, and moving into your intention. So when I'm teaching
or I'm working with a client, I will always say, before we enter
any type of journey, a shamanic journey, it's crucial to have an intention.
So what is your intention? So, for example, I would encourage
them to meet their spirit animal. So go on this journey to first meet
your spirit animal. And it could be a short journey. And you know,
some people are very visual, some people are audio. Some people you
know, say that they feel nothing. And that's okay because there's no right
or wrong way of doing this shamanic journey. You really just need to trust
yourself, to honor yourself on this journey and to know that there's incredible spirit
animals or power animals that are here for us. There's spirit guides that are
waiting to connect with us. So that would be a very basic way to
start. And even prior to going on the shamanic journey, I would encourage
you to go out in nature and find a tree, just sit with the
tree, put your hands on the tree, Thank the spirit of the tree.
Put your hands on the earth, Thank our beautiful mother Earth, and
just sit there and breathe in the energy and allow Mother Earth and the spirits
of nature to nurture you, and even ask, you know, please help
me tame this monkey mind. You know, all of us are always thinking.
We're thinking, Okay, oh, nope, I gotta go. Oh,
I have an appointment. Oh what am I gonna have for breakfast?
What am I gonna have for dinner? And we just wander. And I
know through my own experience, the more frequently I would journey, the more
I would be able to tame the monkey mine. Somehow, I would focus
so much on the breath and so much on the journey and on what I'm
sensing, feeling, hearing and seeing in the journey. And again, you
know, some people don't feel sense or here, and maybe they just feel
like they're journeying through a void. And I've done that many times, where
I've gone into a journey and nothing's happening, and i feel like I'm in
a dark void, and that in itself is a journey. It really is
a journey. So again, I would encourage to just stay with it,
don't resist, just surrender into that journey and allow yourself to receive. Be
open to receiving the guidance that is here for you now with your spirit animals
being wolf and everyone can have. Everyone has totally different spirit animals depending on
the nature of that animal, what gifts it could bring to the person.
But is it possible that I I've heard that sometimes throughout a person's lifetime you
could change or have different spirit animal guides. Oh. Absolutely, Mark,
we have more than one spirit animal and guide. I work with many.
I work with various power animals I've been working with over thirty years, and
you know they're always there, but I find that some come through at a
specific time in your life. So, for example, for myself, if
I need to move into more of my leadership qualities, my cougar will be
with me. My cougar will be around me and helping me and guiding me
through being a better leader. You know, if I'm doing some sort of
healing, I have another spirit animal that comes through specifically for that type of
healing. If I need to be more assertive, you know there'll be another
spirit animal that comes through for that. So absolutely, there's more than one
spirit animal. And of course I'm not talking traditionally, because there are incredible
indigenous cultures in the world that have certain traditions, and I honor all of
those traditions. But the way that I work is a basic technique that was
taught, you know, through the foundation. Okay, I mean a long
time ago. I'm talking about a couple of decades ago when I first started.
I've been on my spiritual journey since my early twenties, you know,
grew up in church like you did, not Catholic, Presbyterian, but kind
of broke away from that and started my own journey and my Around the early
two thousands, I was learning more in shamanism, starting to learn to journey.
Bear was my my animal guide, which is ironic because where I live
here in New Jersey, we get lots of bears. Oh how wonderful?
Do you see many of them? Mark? Yeah? Yeah. My house
is located in a lake community up on a mountain and it's a nature preserve
behind me, so nobody's behind me. So I get a lot of deer,
foxes, bears, sometimes wild turkeys all roaming through. So yeah,
in fact, I saw three slightly older bear cubs playing about fifty feet into
the woods the other day. Oh, what a blessing. That is so
beautiful, and that in itself, you know, your witnessing bear medicine.
Spirits of the bear, you know are with you. The spirit of the
bear is with you, and you had that beautiful blessing right there. M
Yeah. I love seeing them around here. Of course. You know when
I walk around outside, I kind of peek around corners, hutting around the
house. Actually walked around the corner one day to take some trash out and
came around the corner and there was a bear already in my trash can and
I looked at him, he looked at me, and we both went in
opposite directions. What that is just such powerful medicine. That is amazing,
you know. So the signs are all around you. Yeah, so's it's
it's very interesting. Now. The one thing with with shamanic journeying that again
I'm kind of helping to explain for people who may not totally understand, is
when we talk about drumming or rattles, is using a technique to through vibrations
through It's all everything's energy and vibrations, So when you have a rhythmic drumming,
especially live, not just listening through headphones, you hear, you feel
the vibe. My teacher used to drum for us, you know, and
he would walk around the group, but sometimes drum right over you and you
just feel that reverberation going through your body. It was such an incredible feeling.
But it puts one in an altered state of consciousness and the journeying.
Some people can liken it to astral traveling. Is that your mind or your
spirit or however you want to put it, travels to the other realms,
and with shamanism there from what I've learned, the three main realms, the
Upper, Midilum, and lower worlds. Depending on what you're looking for in
terms of healing or information or meeting spirit guys, determines which world that you
would be journeying to. Does that sound correct on to you? Yes,
it does. And it always comes back to the intention as well, because
I can have an intention where I am stating, Okay, I am going
to travel, I'm going to journey to the lower world to meet my owl,
and then all of a sudden, that's my intention. I surrender,
I trust, I go and move into the journey. I go into that
altered state, that very relaxed state, and then I find myself in the
middle world in the tree with the owl who then takes me on her back
into the flight into the upper world. And again I'm trusting, and I
think it's really crucial, you know, to trust. It's very important to
build that relationship with your spirit animals because once you trust, your journeys will
be even more in my experience, more clear and more profound and deep and
really moving into deeper journeys when you have that level of trust. And just
to clarify for listeners, when we talk about the lower world, that in
no way has religious connotations, if you know what I mean. You're not
talking about going down to the depths of Hell. It's just the animal spirits.
Meeting your animal spirits tends to happen on a lower in the lower world,
which is very much a natural world. Yes, the middle world is
you can almost consider that the plane that we're currently living in absolutely and then
the upper world being you know, the higher level vibrations connecting more with higher
spirits and guides. And it's interesting that you talked about having that journey experience
with writing with Al going up to the upper world. I had a very
similar experience many years ago doing a journey where I had an eagle take me
from the tree up to the upper world. Oh that's beautiful. I actually
went through the Kashak records, Oh fantastic. Has a very interesting information given
to me there, which in a nutshell, was all talking about balance,
which is something I needed in my life, about balancing out lifetimes, balancing
out even energies, masculine feminine energies. Just so much is based on balance.
You know what. I absolutely love this conversation we're having, Mark,
because it's spot on. I was at Boynton Canyon yesterday, the place where
we go to kitchen a woman who is the feminine and warrior rock who is
the masculine, and that vortex is all about balance. And that's exactly what
I was doing yesterday, really sitting between that balance of divine masculine and divine
feminine, and it's just an incredible energy of merging the two together. And
when we really breathe into that energy of both the masculine and the feminine and
merge it into a wonderful creation, it's just divine. It really is blissful.
So with anybody who might be interested in learning more about shamanism, what
would you suggest would be a good starting point for people? So a good
starting point would be setting your intention. First of all, why do you
want to connect? What is your intention? You may have an intention of
I'm confused about my life journey and I need help, I need assistance,
I need guidance. And I would recommend, you know, just just putting
that out. Put put that intention out, and then I would recommend again
going out in nature, sitting with a tree, and then receiving the wisdom
through nature. And then if you're seeking a teacher, you know, ask
to be aligned with the right teacher for you. And honestly, there is
so much power. I know, you know the Internet and I don't know.
The Internet is a portal in itself, and I've found so many incredible
teachers and I've been led on so many synchronistic journeys through googling. Googling a
word. So you know, even if you wanted to just google, show
comonic practitioner in my area, or even you know animism, because animism is
really what we're doing as well, you know, connecting to our power,
animals, connecting with nature. So I would recommend finding an experienced shamanic practitioner
in your area and maybe going for a session, a one on one or
if you feel like you want to be part of a community, try a
basic workshop. You know, you may even want to try online, you
know, if you don't want to feel like you want to be amongst other
people, if you're not ready to be in a community and you want to
stay just you know, in your home, but you still want to connect,
then there's lots of people that are teaching. I'm going to be starting
monthly shamanic drumming groups online as well. But you know, you may find
someone in your area, but put the intention out to align to the right
align with the right person for you. That's a great way to start.
And there are books that you could read as well if you want to learn
more about on the background of shamanism. Michael what was Michael's last name?
Again, I have his book is just I'm just having a brain freeze on
his last name, Michael Harner, The Way of the Shaman, And of
course Andra Ingerman has some wonderful books. You know, her book on her
books on soul retrieval incredibly profound and extremely healing. And you know, I
know for myself, you know, in the area of soul retrieval, my
whole life was transformed completely. Yes, I have her books as well,
and I've had the opportunity during my own training on learning soul retrieval, and
that was that was something quite different and very very rewarding. Oh that's cool.
It is extremely rewarding. Again when we surrender into that place and opening
ourselves up to the healing, and once we have the courage to move into
that healing, our lives will never be the same. No, that's true,
and there's so much that can be done with it. I mean,
depending on what you're calling is what you want to do with this information?
You have to go with your intuition. Where's your intuition leading you? Yes,
well, you are your greatest teacher. We have wonderful teachers that were
blessed to have and we're you know, we're always a student. We're always
a teacher and a student, so we're so very blessed. But you know,
in the end, the wisdom is within you. You have all the
answers. Well, if you want to look at it as part of your
higher self. Your higher self always has the answers, and that's where meditation
really comes in handy too. Not just the journeying is a great tool,
but through meditation, quieting the mind and being able to connect to that higher
self where most of that information is already there. I totally agree with you.
Absolutely meditation is crucial. And I mean, look what's happened in the
world. So many people are suffering, and anxiety in individuals has never been
this high. So if we could all meditate, you know, that would
completely change our lives. I agree, And we've all been distracted, we
have this could all be another completely different show. But yes, we're distracted
by so many things in Western society, and where I find solace is in
the indigenous cultures outside of Western society, which you know, so many Westerners
for hundreds of years look down on any of these other cultures, thinking,
oh, they're primitive savages, they need to be converted to our religion,
and not realizing that in a majority of these cultures they have, through shamanic
practices and their spiritual beliefs, are able to tap into energies that and gather
information. I mean the local medicine man or woman, the local shaman is
able to bring forth information that just is helpful for the tribe in so many
different ways. I have a lot of respect for not only Native Americans,
but the Australian Aboriginal people, and who probably have one of the oldest cultures
on the planet and very very deep shamanic roots in that culture. I totally
agree with you, and I have a great deal of respect for indigenous cultures
from around the world. And they are the wise people. They are the
wisdom keepers, and they know the answers, and they've known the answers to
the Earth's secrets, and they know how to move through those portals. One
of the things, and again this is where Western society I have very much
difficulty living in these days, is the fact that we are so distracted and
so many different things. We're taught from a very young age to be very
materialistic. You know, there's mainstream religion which is also very restrictive and all
the dogmas to be followed. And you know, the original spirituality was to
help us connect more with the spiritual world, with those higher forces and not
be separate or have to have go to an intermediary like a priest or someone
you could connect directly yourself, and we're so far away from that. And
when we talk about if everybody in the world would start meditating, it's going
to have to also be a lot of deprogramming because people have been programmed for
so many years that this type of talk is it seems like ah as my
friend likes to call it, Harry Ferry to them, Yeah, you're absolutely
right on that, completely right. I mean, it's all about deprogramming and
if we could all shed all of that programming and move through it, and
of course, you know, let's be real, it takes work, it
takes courage. But if you can have the courage to move into the inner
journey, the outer journey will completely change something we very much need. We
desperately need it. And you know, it is very sad to see the
youth, you know, and our society and just how the world is unfolding.
And if we could come back to self, come back to nature,
and it does take courage, but take that step of courage because your life
will never be the same, and that it's like shedding the skin of the
snake. So if we're talking about a spirit animal. You know, a
snake is a wonderful spirit power animal for this discussion. So you know,
the snake is shedding the skin, and if we can shed the skin of
the programming, you know, and deprogram ourselves from what we've been taught and
really move back into your own individualism, right, your uniqueness, and really
embrace that. That's when things start to change as well. That's when you
transform your own reality. What about we talked about spirit animals, but what
about spirit guides? What about those helpful I always was taught helpful, compassionate
spirits who are there on our side to help us. And being able to
connect with them. Yeah, we are so blessed to have them as well.
And you know, as you continue to journey and to meditate, because
you know, when I meditate, my spirit guides come through as well.
And then you can move into you know the area of channeling as well.
If you're in a deep altered state and your ego is really really put aside,
and you can be that clear divine channel of grace that's what I call
it, and allow that information and that healing to flow through you. You
know, that will really help shift you to a different place. So these
wonderful spirit guides. They're always here for us as well. It's all about
tapping into the essence of who they are and asking the curious questions. You
know, who are you? Why have you come to visit me? What
is it that you want to teach me? So how can someone incorporate bate
this into their daily life? I mean we life goes through so many different
changes, many different phases in life, and people are always searching for what's
my purpose, what's my journey? And the truth could be you can have
several phases in your life and to complete one journey and then you start another
or overlapping goals. Sometimes we may never get the full answer, but we
may be led down a certain path as we learn to discover the answers for
ourselves. So how just in general, over the course of someone's life,
how can they incorporate all this into their lives to improve their lives? Again,
and I'm not using this in a religious way, but the power of
prayer, you know, the the power of intention and the power of prayer.
Waking up in the morning breathing in thank you Creator for this glorious day,
maybe it doesn't feel glorious Thank you creator. You know maybe I'm having
challenges on this day. How can you help me? Thank you to all
my guides, Thank you to all my angels, and ask them, invite
them to show you a sign, Invite them to come into your life.
So you know there's ways intention and prayer. Then you could move into art,
and you could move into writing, and it could be as simple as
you know, a piece of paper in front of you. Thank you my
spirit guides, who are you? Show me who you are, and then
open yourself up to receive the signs and the secreticity will follow. When you're
in alignment with your intention, of purpose and your prayer and you open yourself
up to receiving, that's when everything changes. So even try it for a
day, even for people who are skeptical or people who have you know,
we're human again, and some days you're just like you know, I don't
believe in any of this, it's all woo woo. But try it.
Try it for a day. Really, move into your heart, go into
your heart center, put that intention out to the universe. Even put your
feet onto the earth, take your shoes off, take your socks off,
bare feet on the earth. Thank you Mother, earth. Put your hands
on a tree. Thank you, spirit of the tree, show me what
I need to see or hear today, and then just open yourself up to
receiving and see. That's actually something I love doing, is I'll walk by
a tree, I have to reach out and touch it, feel the energy
I go through. I've never been to Sedona, but I've been through I
don't know if you've ever been through Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.
Oh, oh beautiful. It's the same type of that red sandstone and these
pillars going into the sky, and there's so much wonderful energy there. I
have family out that way, so I always go through Garden of the Gods
and I just have to touch the stones, put my hands against the red
sandstone. And while I may not physically feel any energy flowing it, just
that act alone feels good. I'll walk by a plant or a flower and
I'll just lightly touch it, you know, just having that connection with nature,
which is something that so many of us don't have or we take for
granted. I totally agree. It's just it's crucial and it really can change
our whole entire lives. Going back to what you were saying a few minutes
ago, though too, about being waking up each day and thinking creator,
thinking whoever you want to know for the day, and people need to look
at it this way is there is the term the power of positive thinking.
If people continuously are thinking negative thoughts, or they're constantly worried about what's going
to be happening, and they're living slightly in the future, worrying about bills,
worrying about jobs, worrying about family issues or any of these things,
and not living in the moment and not being thankful for those things that they
have. You start getting yourself into a habit of thinking positively, thinking whoever
you want to thank for the beauty of the day, for another day of
life on this earth. If your health is good, good health, or
you're thinking of other people's health. But you start off by being positive and
then you try to start making that a habit, and over time that power
of positive thinking helps you manifest that positivity in your life. Things may not
seem so bad anymore, For things that seem like giant problems are now minor
problems, or they're just challenges to work through. It. It's all about
again we talked about deprogramming from all the negativity that we surround ourselves with in
our lives. Yes it, you know, I like to call it living
your life in ceremony. And if we could shift into you know, what
is ceremony? You know, what does ceremony mean to you? Everyone?
You know, each and every person may have a different definition, but for
me, that's what I would call living in ceremony. So waking up,
giving thanks to whoever it is that you pray to or just acknowledge, and
then moving into gratitude, you know, thanking the flowers like you were mentioning
in you know, Colorado Spring, the Garden of the Gods. That sounds
magnificent. That is on my list. Thank you for that. Mark,
Google it and look at the pictures. You'll, oh, I will.
We can have a completely different conversation altogether on Colorado and Boulder. That completely
changed my life. And that's that's actually in my first book, Awakening the
Divine Soul. But back to living our lives in ceremony, you know,
acknowledging that plant, acknowledging that tree, saying oh you're so beautiful, thank
you for the grace you're giving me today, Touching the stones the rocks,
putting your hands on them, feeling the sun through them, saying thank you,
I acknowledge you. And again for you know, anyone that is skeptical
or thinks this may be woo woo, because our society has gone a little
bit. You know, everyone's an overwhelm. Try it, try it.
Come back to that gentle energy, gentle energy of acknowledgment, acknowledging Mother Earth,
acknowledging nature, hugging trees. So yes, be a tree hugger.
Why not try it, see what happens. Try it for yourself and see
what happens. And you know, for those people who are deeply religious,
whether all use Christianity as an example, because that's with my original background.
This in no way is threatening to your your religious beliefs or spiritual beliefs.
Because if you're if you want to honor God, if you want to have
that connection with with God, with Jesus, with Mohammad, with whoever it
is that's important in your life from a religious perspective, you still follow these
these practices with them in mind, and again you'll see you'll start to feel
better. This isn't a religion. This is not a religion. I'm so
glad said that. Yes, uh, And there's no reason for anybody who
is religious to feel threatened by it because it's nature, God made nature.
So everything in the natural world is a part of our creator and having that
connection with it is a good thing. It gets us away from all the
man made bs that we're dealing with every day. Right. Oh, absolutely,
it's a way of being, you know, it's not a religion at
all. And again back to the incredible, beautiful indigenous people throughout the whole
world, the wisdom keepers, you know, they know, they know the
way, They've always known the way. So what is on your plate these
days moving forward? And what is your journey like as you move on from
here? What? What what are you going to be doing here in the
near future. So right now I'm working on my third book, which is
the third installment of the series. So we went from the first book,
which was the prequel to my current book, Enter the Journey, a Mystical
Guide for Rebirth and Renewal. And I am going to be handing in the
manuscript for the third installment of this series. I won't give away too much,
but it takes place in India and it's Yeah, another exciting journey,
and I just want to share with the listeners all of these books came about
from shamanic journeys, meditation, and journaling. For well, I've written in
my diary since I was nine ten years old, and I just want to
share as well. I'm dyslexic and I'm still a writer. So you know,
for anyone who thinks that, oh I could not possibly do you know
this or that, or I can't dream big because I can't possibly do it,
I just want you to hear this that you absolutely can do it.
That we all have a purpose. That if you align with your heart,
your soul and call upon your beautiful teachers, your spirit allies, whether they
are power animals, spirit guides, angels, archangels, departed loved ones,
they are here for you and for me. You know my background. I
struggled most of my life and you know I grew up in the hood,
a single mom of five raising us. And these wonderful books, you know,
have come through journeying and coming back to self and trusting nature and my
spirit allies. So yeah, so that's what's on my plate right now,
the third installment of the book. I'm also a mother. So I have
three kids, and you know, I'm very very much there with them their
journeys and helping with their purpose and passion and creativity. And again coming back
to that wonderful word that you brought in, Mark, which is so spot
on for right now. Balance. So I'm honoring balance. I am inviting
balance into my life so I can complete these creative projects and continue to be
a mother, a wife, and a teacher, a student and to help
all my wonderful clients out there. Fantastic, Well, Lexanna, thank you
