Karen, Yes, what if instead of learning about a new modality or talking
about another awakening ceremony today, what if we explored the possibility that we've got
all the tools and wisdom inside of us already right now? That would be
pretty amazing, right, I mean, let's go a little deeper or not?
What if our bodies weren't just these meat suits that we walk around in
all day? You know, I've never liked the term meat suit? Can
we call it something else? I came neither confirm nor deny that that might
be the reason why I said the word meat suits. Okay, if our
bodies weren't just as our guests calls them, space suits that we walk around
in, but rather actually leading the way for us? Like, what if
they were the most spiritual thing about us? So like the opposite of what
everybody else says, well kinds order. Yeah, So, today's guest feels
that we can learn to tune into our bodies wisdom, energy, and emotions
to accelerate our growth more than ever before. She believes that our bodies are
on the spiritual journey as much as we are, and in fact, she
says that without our bodies, there would be no journey at all. Well,
this fascinating concept is what we're diving into in this episode of the Skeptic
Metaphysicians. My name is Will and I'm Gar and unlike Molder and Scully,
both want to believe. So we've embarked in a journey of discovery. We've
talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and metaphysical world. We've thrown ourselves
into weird and wonderful experiences. I even joined a coven of witches and wait,
you joined a coven, yep, all on the interests of finding something,
anything that will prove that there's something beyond this physical, three dimensional world
we all live in. This is the Skeptic Metaphysicians. And now back to
the Skeptic Metaphysicians. Hey, there's Will, Yep. I have something else
in my mind before we get started with the interview. I wanted to talk
about something with you. You see, most people know that Karen and I
are all about service to others. In every spiritual book, every spiritual teacher,
every message that you get, everybody is saying how important it is to
be a service to others. And in fact, in my life I've noticed
that the more I'm in service to others, the more positive things happen to
me. The less I think about myself and more about others, the more
good things come to me as a result. It just makes sense. It's
an energy exchange. The more energy you give to someone, the more energy
comes back to you. Right, whether you're Pagan than you believe in the
law of three which says that whatever you send out to universe, you get
back to you three times, or you believe in law of karma that says
what you give out you receive. Almost every thought process out there talks about
this energy exchange. The giving of something is what you get in return.
So I've been trying to live my life for the last few years with that
thought foremost in my mind, and it's been truly a wonderful experience. It's
been eye opening, it's been wonderful, truly wonderful to see, for example,
the success of this show. The more we are in service to you,
the listener out there, the more that the show grows, and it's
been wonderful. So I want to live my life with that thought process in
mind at all times. But very recently, some of you may know,
I underwent difficult period of my professional life where I didn't feel like I was
treated the way that I felt I should have been treated. Now I completely
understand that's a totally ego driven, judgmental thought process, and I understand where
it comes from. But I won't go into that here. Just know that
I understand and I recognize it's not how I should have thought about the whole
process. But no matter how much I focus on spirituality, come on,
let's face it, I'm still just a human being just like everyone else,
and I'm learning. I'm on this path of learning and discovery just like you.
So petty things like that, like not getting a job that I felt
I was perfect for, still affect me as much as I don't want them
to. So in this case, it affected me in a very very very
hard way, and it's almost like a sort of PTSD where I'm having a
hard time shaking it. I meditate every day, I focus on the teachings,
I have interviews with wonderful spiritual people that help me put things in perspective.
Friends that I value very much remind me of things like the Surrender experiment
and being of service to others. In all those thought processes, and it
works for a bit, but I always seem to fall back, and I'm
finding that I'm falling into a more ego driven, self serving day to day
decision making process, and i have to admit that I'm not liking myself these
days again as much. So I'm trying to keep myself focused on service to
others again. So I'm writing these concepts on sticky notes, and I'm putting
them everywhere on my computer, in the kitchen and my bathroom mirror, were
everywhere anywhere that can see them, just so i can remind myself the importance
of understanding and really knowing and living the fact that I'm not here to serve
myself. I'm here to serve others. And if there's anything I can do
to serve others, that is a focus that I need to follow, that
I want to follow. So, friends, if you feel lost, like
I somewhat am right now, I invite you to change your focus, to
put your sticky notes everywhere, remind yourself over and over again of the right
way to move forward, the way that you know is the right way to
move forward, and be kind to yourself, give yourself grace in understanding because
we all know we do live in this three dimensional world. We are in
these physical bodies and our minds have been programmed for such a long time that
it's going to take some doing for us to get beyond it. So be
kind to yourself, forgive yourself, and when you fall, just get back
up again take the next step, just like I'm trying to do now.
Thanks for listening, guys, It's really helped to get this off my chest.
Hey there, I'm willing, and today we're excited to welcome Lauren Shell
and Tani to the show. Like many people, Lauren has spent a good
portion of her life feeling like a victim to her body and emotions, haven't
we all. Now, she since realized that there's a way to harness our
sovereign power through the body, and she's developed a method that incorporates breathwork,
movement, and visualization to unleash that energy so we can reclaim our unlimited power.
Now, Lauren helps folks to harness the power of their emotions in order
to manifest their calling with passion and purpose. I cannot be more excited to
welcome Lauren Sheellentani to the show. Lauren, thank you so much. For
coming on. Oh, thank you so much for having le honest such an
honor to talk about this meat, I mean space suits with you today.
I'm gonna like our conversation. All right, Lord, I can tell this
is awesome. Okay, lots and lots and lots of questions comes to mind,
But the very first thing that I need to ask you is how is
it that our bodies could possibly be on a spiritual journey? You hear about
our souls doing all this, but are our bodies different than us? Like,
how does that work? Well, as you guys know, we're in
this three V reality and without these bodies. You know my belief and what
I've experienced, and what all the great teachers say is that we need this
body to be able to feel because in this world of duality or contrast,
we are able to learn at a faster rate than we would at a soul
level or not in a physical or a dense type of reality. And an
embodiment in this body. So looking at our bodies not as something that's in
the way, whether it's chronic disease or disease in your body, whether it's
an emotion, whether it's acne, whatever plagues you, quote unquote, it's
really here to help teach you that your body is not in the way,
it's leading the way. And my journey really started out, you know,
in years of chronic digestion issues, and then when I graduated from university,
I had my first panic attack ever, and that led to years of chronic
anxiety, and I was kind of confused of you know what that was going
on with me and this body. Now, retrospectively, hindsight's always twenty twenty.
I now know my body was awakening and it was telling me I had
created this life that wasn't my life. Up until that point, I was
the good girl. I had the good grades, I went to a good
university, got a degree, and then had a job lined up literally like
the next week after this graduation ceremony, and my body was like, hold
up, hold hold up, this is not what you're meant for. But
at the time, you know, I'm just like losing my shit. It's
just never experienced anything like that, and I want a very um three D
approach. You know, at the time I was in my early twenties,
I really wasn't into all this woo stuff. If you will that I say
very lovingly. So wait, like last year then, yeah, because you
do not than a decade ago plus? Thank you? Yeah, well,
what are you doing with your body? Is working out? It's because I
love her. I love this body. She's on a journey with me here.
So you know, you gotta love the meat suit. That's just going
to keep coming up. Go Carris is the raw meaters it cook. I
got to make a difference. I'm sorry. The day depends on the day.
I do live in southern Florida, so it depends on which sun I
got. So yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, so let me ask
you a question really quickly. Because you're talking about your body and anxiety attacks
and things like that, A lot of people actually assign that to our minds.
Now, are you you separating those two or is that one and the
same for you? I think the way that I access me personally, and
I think it's kind of lost in terms of in the awakening community, especially
divine feminine energy is being going through the body to connect with the divine,
to connect with your mind, to connect with that subconscious part of you,
rather than going out in the body, let's say, in a meditation and
overcoming the mind through just letting go. But what I have found is listening
to the body, my emotions of physical sensations, that I can allow whatever
is coming up to go deep into that physical part of it and kind of
open up and move that energy and always, always, always on the other
side of it, there's this wisdom. So for me, I don't think
they're two separate things in the way that one's good one's bad. For me,
it was always so much easier intuitively. This was my gift, I
think to go through it through the body. You know, I've spent years
meditating and I love that, but for me, the quickest way to get
there is through the body, which is this is why I love breathwork and
movements so much, is because we tend to get stuck in our heads and
where we've lost the sense of being present in our bodies and in the present
moment. That's where our power lies, that's where our awareness and that lies.
So when we can start to build the awareness of what our body is
telling us, and that includes those thoughts and emotions, that's when we know
we can we can figure out when you know, when we're lost in the
future or in the past, or just you know, lost in our head
and we can start to dive into really what's coming up by just being present
and allowing those sensations, whether it's emotional or physical. So I don't know,
I think that kind of answered what you were going for there, just
a different way to get there. I think, yeah, no, you
did. It's just for me. When I've had my anxiety attacks, I
went to a shrink, right, So I didn't work on my body,
worked on my mind. So to me, I always say that we are
a three body problem. We are mind, body, and spirit, and
so this kind of meshes two of them together in a sort of way that
I hadn't heard of before. That's all yeah, yeah, and luckily,
you know, luckily, or maybe not so luckily, everything's happening for me.
Right my family, there was such a stigma of mental health that I
didn't really end up going the traditional route. So I think it was more
like through my body, just intuitively even then, that I figured out how
to work through this and be able to feel those emotions and be led by
myself, which is my body who's guiding me, rather than you know,
sometimes going to therapy or having a coach or a guru. What I'm so
passionate about is why I love working with this beautiful thing called my body,
which is me. I get to listen and trust myself and learn these skills
rather than trying to look outside of myself or somebody to tell me what to
do, which you know is a huge part of my lesson. Sometimes that
might resonate with people, sometimes it might not, But to learning to be
your own sovereign being, which means having, you know, realizing that you
do create your reality, and that you do get to choose what you think
and what you believe and how you feel when it comes back to being present
and allowing and listening to what's coming up for you. So, what about
chronic pain no, you know, like back pain or knee pain or anything
like that. Is that your body telling you you need to do something?
Or is that you know a result of I don't know, working out and
improperly or the environment or something you ate? Yeah, for me. So
I started health coaching when I started getting into this years ago, and what
I found to go a little bit around what you just asked and circle back,
is so many of these women I was coaching knew what foods felt good
in their body. They knew they love moving their bodies, exercise, yoga,
pilates, but they're having all these chronic issues like digestive issues, migraines,
and fertility issues. And what I found I was teaching these women was
just, you know, basics of law of attraction, basics of mindfulness,
of being able to take a second to be present with your body when you're
eating, when you're moving, and not just rushing through life and doing three
things at once. And that was able to solve pretty much every single problem
that these women were having. And that's when I realized, Okay, I
really need to start transitioning into more this embodiment manifestation work. It's not just
about the body. And for me, you know, I've been on this
journey and whether it's anxiety or other chronic issues or diagnoses in my body.
Even a few years ago, further along on this journey, realizing this,
teaching this, getting a diagnosis, I was like, oh my gosh,
this is first. You know, you feel the fear of whatever's coming up
with the diagnosis, of what you think is going to happen. And then
and I realize, okay, wow, my body is always leading the way.
So just like my emotions, my physical body is also telling me something
too. It's just showing me. Just like Abraham talks about, if you
guys are law of attraction ers listening. Here the emotional guidance scale, our
emotions and our body, which is a more physical, dense part of energy,
teach us. Are we aligned with our inner being, our source that,
you know, the divine part of us, the universe, whatever you
want to call it, whatever the name you like to give it. So
when a physical thing happens Joe, when Joe's there, and are we aligned
or not? So a physical thing for me, it's just an opportunity to
say, Wow, there was this relief system, this energy pattern, something
that's been there so either at the forefront or maybe in the background for so
long, has come into this physical manifestation. Here's a beautiful opportunity to get
me to change. Our bodies are in the way, they are leading the
way. I know I keep saying that, But when something like a cancer
diagnosis or already immune something or these big, these big diagnosis come up,
it's really an opportunity for you to take a look and say, Okay,
what have I been doing? What can I do? Differently. That includes
how I look at my body, what I think, how I feel.
Yes, maybe clean up the diet, the three D thing too, But
you know your body's weight and kale's not going to save you if you're still
stuck in fight or flight, or if you're still resisting all of this energy,
or you're not feeling what's coming up, because you know, our bodies
are going to move the energy in the way of least resistance, and sometimes
for me, my body loves to do that through my skin and through the
acne or whatever comes up. So if I'm moving a lot of energy or
making being shifts in my life, my skin will just start to break out
everywhere I move country. Over a year ago, started a new relationship really
restarted my life and my skin. I breaking out worse than a teenager,
worse than my pre pubescent self. And I was so judgmental of myself at
the time, but I was like, oh my gosh, my body is
helping clearing out all that old energy that I just physically decided to shift in
my life. Still helping me. And as I started to talk to myself,
talk to my body, I work with my body and say thank you
so much for helping me. I'm so grateful that you are always leading the
way, and not only you're guiding me, but it's also you're helping me
because energy is still going to move in the way of least resistance, and
sometimes it's physical. And as soon as I started to do that, my
skin just almost cleared up overnight. But it was when I was resisting,
when I was judging and not allowing everything to happen, is when it kept
persisting. Because what we resist will persist. So I started my journey really
helping people with the more physical stuff, which I love, but I love
to also talk about the emotional aspect of that because so many people on their
awakening journeys might be, you know, wanting to work with their Kundalini or
you know, work with this their energy and tune into this. But if
you don't have a foundation of being comfortable in your body, trusting your body,
allowing it to become into the present moment and really build that momentum,
yes maybe you start to awaken that Kundali energy. But it is so much
easier when you can have that foundation of trust and ease and allowing and not
really understanding that your body is leading the way. So yes, chronic pain
is something that you can look at and you know, not so much a
three D way. What is this teaching me? Maybe it's asking yourself,
do I need to slow down? Do I need to be more mindful when
I move? It just really depends on what's coming up for you. A
really good resources you know Louise Hey, she has written a beautiful book,
You Can Heal your Body, and it's a little excerpt from You Can Heal
Your Life, and it talks about many metaphysical causes of these physical issues,
and that's a great place to start. Nine times out of ten, it's
spot on of what I'm feeling or the emotion or belief underneath it. If
it doesn't resonate for you, leave it and move on. That's a beautiful
resource on if you do have something chronic coming up to kind of start to
take a look, Okay, what am I feeling? Maybe what is that
belief underneath these symptoms or these physical manifestations to help you to start to trust
that body and start to understand that everything, even these physical ailments or manifestations
are here to get you to look at yourself, to get you to look
at your life to get you to look at this journey in a different way
than you were. Cancer is here because it's the inability for people to grow.
So it forces you to wake up and say, oh, okay,
what am I doing of my life? What patterns? Maybe it's something that's
quote unquote hereditary? What patterns were people my family who've had this before did?
And I get this opportunity to become a totally different person, the person
that is me and not somebody who is you know, just programmed to be
like my family. So in terms of physical stuff, yep, that's what
I would start. But I love working with the emotions and people who really
want to jump start their energy journey who know that they're here for more.
And you know that's my journey is like what am I here to give back?
And it's really coming back to the body and being able to listen and
it'll guide the way. So do you not think that our environment plays a
role in our physical like I'm talking about specifically cancer? Yeah, I mean
we're reading that we're having all this plastic in our bodies, and the oxyde
the error is so polluted, and the water is polluted and the fish have
mercury and everything. So do you think that that doesn't play a part.
I think it does. But you know, I trust that when I am
aligned with myself online a source and I am in a state of rest and
relax and my energy is just flowing really strong, that my immune system right
is going to really be able to fight off a lot of those things.
You know, Listen, I don't I eat very very healthy. I minimize
all those things in my life, but some things we just have to,
you know, we can't avoid, like pollution for something, you know,
depending on where you live. And I do think that you know, you
need to treat your body with respect, whether it's you know, the quality
of water you drink, the quality of foods or skincare products. I do
think that you know you need to respect your body. But I also think
that, you know, I do create my reality, and I need to
also, even more so take a look at these beliefs and the energy underlying
inside of me, because it's an opportunity for me to heal and release something
that's maybe been with me for many lifetimes. But this is my opportunity to
really change and step into more of who I really am. I love everything
you're saying brings up a lot of questions. But before I get into it,
it feels like you're saying when you say your body has the answers,
it's almost like it's not just our bodies, it's our minds, it's our
being, it's it's our three dimensional personalities. Lack of our better word.
Right, But then you keep talking about feminine energy and helping women and all
these kinds of things, and we're getting into the sovereign sisterhood and all kinds
of suff in a minute. But just to clarify, this is just as
good for men as it is for women. Right This pertains to whoever you
are. It's not just women that get affected by this that can take benefit
from doing these kinds of things. I just want to confirm that right now,
one hundred percent. I think women are more so naturally, and I
think I see so many brothers awakening to their true selves and their callings right
now. But women with the physical aspect. You know, obviously I'm a
woman, and how I servrate this energy is very feminine aspect. Men,
you know, and other women you might understand this and do it through a
more physical way, like working out or you know something in a different way,
but we all can access this wisdom, whether it's through a runner's high
or that post yoga bliss like this is the kind of wisdom I'm talking about,
is moving through the body in order to connect to that higher part of
that divine part of you. So it doesn't matter what sects you would identify
with, what energy you identify with, this is a universal truth. It
is more naturally I would say feminine in its aspect because it's through the body
embodiment and a masculine approach to the same thing as you know, kind of
going outside of the body meditation and that aspect. But you know, it
really doesn't matter. We have both energies, So whatever works for you exactly.
And that's kind of where I was going where I'm a man, but
I have a lot of feminine energy in me. Where I know Karen is
a woman, she has a lot of masculine energy. And it's perfectly we
go in and out. There's a flux. So if you're dude, listen
to this thing. Don't let this all throw yet. This is just as
good. Don't don't tune out, don't don't hit the stop button. This
is good for you as well as for the women. We need to take
a break, so we're gonna take a pause, just a quick few minutes.
Stay with us. Can When we come back, we're going to talk
to Lauren about how to now that we've talked about the importance of doing it,
how to now connect with the body so that we can be more in
tune with what we need. Stay with us, We'll be right back.
Welcome to the Reluctant Medium, where we cover the gamut of out their conversations
with an open mind and a curious heart. We want to talk about it
all, from psychic phenomenon to beings from other star systems, from energy medicine
to out of body experiences and much more. You'll find a great balance between
grounded science, back topics and others that well science hasn't quite caught up to
yet. From the explainable to miraculous. We want to know about it.
I'm your host, doctor Maria Rothenberger, a psychotherapist by trade and a reluctant
spirit baby communicator. And hey, even though I'm a medium, I'm not
buying everything folks are selling. I just have a voracious appetite to know more.
About what I call the world are the weird, and maybe I'll try
a few things on precize. Join us on your favorite podcast platform or watch
on YouTube at the Reluctant Medium. We'll see you there. And now back
to the Skeptic Metaphysicians. Welcome back to the Skeptic Metaphysicians. We're talking to
Lauren, Jel and Tani. We're talking about the body and really the three
dimensional personality that we have on this planet, how important it is to be
in tune with it because really we have all the answers inside of us.
So we're constantly going out to new modalities and all these kinds of things,
and those are wonderful as well, but the first deep is to really get
to know yourself and what's inside you, in what you need in your body.
So Lauren, right before we left, we talked about how the fact
that this is good for men and women in alle kind of stuff that we
also tease that we're going to find out how now to get better in tune
with our bodies. So let's just go ready intune. How can we now
that we know the importance of being in tune with the body, how can
we connect with it, I think first and foremost I did talk about I
use the word allow a lot, and whether it's like I mentioned my acne
example, or whatever emotions coming up for you, is just to allow yourself
to feel. Because if you know you're looking at yourself and you have a
face covered in sense, you're there's probably an emotion associated with that coming up
right now, working judgment, shame, whatever, embarrassment, And the most
important thing about this is to allow yourself to feel that like there's no bad
emotions. And I mentioned earlier in the show that so many people want to
start working with our energy or those chakras and awaken that Kudlini force. But
emotions are the easiest way for you to do that. That is your energy,
that is that life force trying to move through you. And the more
that we resist something, or the more that we really try to move something
like like really push and like talking about more masculine, the more that it's
going to really persist. So if something looks like embarrassment is coming up for
you with this acting going along with this example is to just let yourself really
feel does what does embarrassment feel like? And allow that feeling to overcome you.
You're not going to die from feeling embarrassed. You'll You'll be okay,
I promise you. And to allow that sensation to come through your body.
And sometimes when you start to practice this, you'll start to feel maybe that
emotions in your chest, during your gut, your hip, You'll start to
feel. And that's what I love to teach and help people build that awareness
in their own way, in their own bodies. Start to feel where that
energy is, where that emotion is, and start to open your focus around
where that's coming, which means focusing on where that feeling is in your body,
and start to think about building this beautiful circle or the sphere around it,
opening it up and allowing that energy to dissipate outside of you or maybe
come up. But which I keep talking about, KUNDLINI coming up that beautiful
light channel through your body when I feel an emotion, like I got to
say, like I still have the emotions daily. You know. My partner,
God love Him helps me work through this. Even though I teach these
people these things, and it's like he has to remind me when I'm feeling,
you know, whatever's coming up. Maybe I'm mad he didn't do the
dishes, or even though he does the beautiful job of the dishes, but
whatever emotions are a three D thing that's coming up for me, and I
just want to keep going, going, going going. I know it's not
about the thing that's coming up. It's about me being present, feeling that
emotion, moving it through my body. It's very intuitive once you start to
practice this and just allow underneath Okay, yeah, it really wasn't about you
not putting your dishes in the dishwasher. This is what I've been feeling.
Here's the wisdom that's uncovered for me and to be able to move along with
your life, because when we start pushing things down, that's when sometimes the
physical manifestations happen, I like diagnoses and things pop up into your life that
you might not really like. But that because you're consistently feeling these emotions that
you're resisting or pushing down, you're what you feel in a consistent basis creates
a reality. So when you can allow, it's not going to create more
embarrassment if you just truly feel those emotions in the moment. I think there,
I forget the study, but I think it's like under twenty seconds.
If you truly feel one emotion, I'll wow, it's to you know,
to move through your body, It'll dissipate and go away. Anything more than
that is actually you're you're replicating it. So really being present in your body
doesn't take doesn't take long at all. And the second step, and this
is really just understanding and approaching life and yourself and this thing cold your body
with love and not judging yourself for having the acne. You're feeling embarrassed or
feeling this rage. Yeah, yeah, burtn around doing this. As you
know, I'm here to help you. I'm here to help you. So
you're the cause of my hip pain. I'm here to help you to face
what that hip pain is actually talking every day. Yeah, So when you're
working with people, it sounds like you really kind of have to help them
learn how to I don't know, pull back a lot of layers. Because
if we go back to the acne example, so you get the acne,
but there's some underlying cause of the acne, but then you have the acne
and then you're embarrassed. So the embarrassment I think would add to the acne.
So you've got like the double whammy going on, Like how how easy
or difficult is it for the people that you work with to start to unravel
all of this? Yeah, and that's why I really work with the emotions
first, because the physical stuff right is dense. There's more persistent emotions or
patterns going on. Building the awareness of am I being? Am I in
the present moment or not, you know, one of my feeling and starting
to allow myself to feel that and approach everything in my life and my body
with love and acceptance. Because when we can love ourselves, we're never going
to judge ourselves or hate ourselves into any change. I'm never going to shame
ourselves into to be able to change long term. M I don't know.
I need to make it Like when you finally go, I can't. I
can't stand myself. I'm not need to change, right, There's there's there's
a defining moment when you're like, I'm tired of this ship. I'm like
Gandolf on the bridge. I'm going to none shall pass. You know,
I'm not. I'm not. I'm done. Like I think there's so much
power and I think it's two different things. I totally agree with you.
There's there are two different things where there it comes a part in your moment
in your life when you're like, there's there's something, There's got to be
something better than this. I am tired of this bull crap. Like when
you draw that line in the sand, that decision is so powerful that amplitude
energetically is going to send out ripples into the whole universe and to your own
reality that you know you are done with this. But but what are we
going to just still behave and think and act and feel in the same way
that we were within the life that we didn't want. No, we're going
to do something differently because when we become this personality and in the spotting,
we're going to feel and think in the same way. So what I'm saying
is, you know, love yourself. Yet, yeah, you might have
the old part of you still come up that you don't like, that you're
trying to change, you're tired of, but don't judge that part like that's
been a part of you for god knows how long. And to allow that
to come up and say, oh, that's just my jealous part coming up,
you know that's a's she helped me so much up to this point she
got me here, like, thank you so much. Not only am I
going to feel you once we start to understand these parts of ourselves like you're
talking about and I'm talking about right now, these characters so to speak,
of our old life that we don't want to really take with us. We
want to love them and see them from what they are that they were just
this really defense mechanism or the survival mechanism that we developed at some point,
either this lifetime, past lifetimes. It doesn't matter what matters to be able
to feel it. And sometimes we realize and I have, I've done this
in my own life when I'm trying to change I like to write down emotions
that I'm feeling every single day, especially when I've really pinpointed what i want
to change my life. One am I feeling day to day? One am
I thinking about these things? And you'll start to see a pattern over a
week or two weeks of writing your emotions down. I'm really addicted to certain
emotions when it comes to this topic or just my life in general. So
really allowing yourself to feel these emotions allows them to move through you just as
much as we want to feel and move through the quote unquote lower emotions,
the same with a quote unquote good or high vibe emotions. We don't want
to hold onto anything, you know, vice script for too long because it's
it's going to go sour, it's going to go bad. So just when
I talk about the self love is even when those achy parts of you quote
unquote the shadow side comes up, just to love it and be like,
oh, I know why you come back up. You know I'm changing something
more now. And of course these old patterns are going to come up because
it's trying to keep me and the old reality is trying to keep me safe.
Thank you so much for trying to do that. But you know what,
I got this. I got this. So it's really forgiving yourself for
having been that way and understanding that you might have some backslides, but forgive
yourself for what you've done, but face forward with who you want to become.
Yeah. Well, in the pre production notes that you sent us,
you mentioned you dropped a term in there that I went, m I got
to make sure I ask her what this is, and in order so I
don't mess it up, I'm going to bring up my notes. You said
that we can become a vessel of creation. I need some clarity into what
you mean by that. So this kind of came to me, of course
during my own I was at a breastwork retreat during a ceremony, and intuitively
I was just like, all right, fine, bigger part of me,
I'm out of the way still, you know, whatever needs to come through
me in this lifetime right now to give back to the world, Like I
am the vessel creation, I am this vessel like fill me up. So
the irony is here. We start to feel these things, allowing things work
with our body, trust our bodies. But in order to become more of
our quote unquote's higher selves in this embodiment, we need to get out of
the way. We need to surrender and allow this define to move through us.
And I know it's kind of easier said than done, and we're kind
of like, oh, okay, this is a little vague here. But
the reason why I work so much with the body and allowing getting yourself to
allow and to trust is when you can go deep through the body or whatever
modality works for you, connect to that higher part of you, you not
only can listen to what's coming through, but you also can ask how can
I be of service? What do I need to know? Because we consume
so much data, so much, you know, social media, we're just
consuming, consuming, consuming, But are we really listening to us, to
that higher power. I start with a body, but the end goal really
is to lead to that divine part of you, that higher being part of
you, so that you feel you have built enough trust in yourself, in
your own experience to be able to connect and really listen to that intuition at
a deeper level. Because I truly believe you know, you guys have this
beautiful platform, don't only share your hearts and your energy, but to hold
a space for people like myself to share their healing message with the world.
And I truly believe our own stories, our bodies specifically, are all here
leading the way. And I keep saying this phrase over and over, but
leading the way to who you're really supposed to be this life nine, to
that highest potential, to that part of you, that higher self that wants
to come through here. But that all comes through your own healing journey.
And I truly believe we each have our own message, our own modality,
our own passion to bring to the world and when we can continue to listen
to that and act upon that. I know, I know, I know,
this new evolution of humanity, this new earth everybody is. You might
be so negative on where the world is going, but when we can individually
start to lead with being that vessel of creation, which is just being more
of who we really are and allowing our gifts to unfold in whatever way excites
us and whatever way we love to share that with the world, that's when
true change will happen and we'll ripple across consciousness itself, this reality and so
much more. So that's what I mean. And feel free to ask more
questions, but that's really my higher purpose here. I am fascinated by what
you just mentioned because it speaks a lot towards why we do the show.
It's perfect, It's perfection, all right. So then let's move our attention
to the Sovereign Sisterhood and the Witchy Wellness podcasts. Right am I saying that?
Right? And you are okay because you've got a lot going on,
So give us a breakdown on the podcast and then the Sovereign Sisterhood. Yeah,
so, Witchy Wellness Radio. I've had this podcast for over five years
now, which just feels crazy to say. And I was actually taking a
bath, loving my body being present talking about what I just preached this whole
episode, and the phrase your body is not in the way, it's actually
leading the way. Just PLoP right in you know those Mama, that's where
you're like, I didn't think, where did that come from? You know,
like just the download happens. And that was really the inspiration to start
the podcast, Which You Wellness Radio, And that's the tagline of the show,
and that's my mission is all the things I talked about today, having
beautiful guests on just like you guys do here to share their hearts, share
their wisdom because you never know what that one podcast that inspiration that might ignite
you or a love one that could really change your life. And that's that's
why I started Which You Wellness Radio so many years ago, because that that's
your divine intuition, that's your body, that's your higher self speaking through you.
Is that spark of intuition that that might inspire Oh maybe that sounds like
me. Maybe maybe I could do something like that or heel this, You
never know which podcast is going to get you. That nugget and that's why
I subscribe to sixty five of them, because I'm going to find it one
word the other, or it'll find you that when you're ready, the teachers
will come. It will find you. Well. I'm giving you plenty of
opportunity to find me beautiful and then and then my beautiful program that I have
is the Sovereign Sisterhood. It is everything I talked about here today and what
my mission is I mentioned it a little bit, is making teaching these foundational
principles, making them your own. Like it's good to know something, but
to actually practice it, to be able to teach it and not teach it
but live it in your life, and to make it work for you to
become your own master coach like I don't. I don't. I don't want
these people to keep keep asking you, what shouldn't I do? What does
this mean? I want you to learn to listen to your body, to
listen to the intuition, to be able to listen to your high yourself and
become that vessel of creation. So I teach that, and I also teach
you how to have these conversations with other people too, in the community,
actually space for another sister or another member to ask you know what's coming up
for you, and to be able to learn to listen to another person,
because what I have found is learning this myself it's one thing, but to
be able to practice as in a relationship, it's a whole nother level.
So to be able to start to learn to listen to other people in a
different way, because you really do learn through the wisdom and experience of other
people and what they're coming through too, not only in your own story,
but the stories of other people. So that's a big proponent, and that's
why we call it sisterhood because it's about building this foundation internally so you can
grow it in relationships, whether it's in the sisterhood long term or with other
people in your life, because you know, we want to be around people,
we want to share our hearts, we want to share our love as
soon as we really start to do this deep healing work. Every single person,
whether I have them my podcast or I know them in my personal life.
Every time that you overcome something in your life, you want to give
back to the world. Like I mentioned before that vessel creation. When your
heart is so full and overflowing, all you want to do is give and
to love and to build those relationships, whether and it's a business or just
in your personal life. So if you guys want to learn more and you
