Why? 3 00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:04.960 Now? 4 00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:09.119 Welcome to Joy Rules with me, Laurel, I your joy Guru. 5 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:12.039 While the world looks like it's at a breaking point, 6 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:17.399 burn out, stress, isolation, and overwhelm dominate the headlines, within 7 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.960 all this, there's a longing for something deeper, something that 8 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.800 heals beyond the mind. Joy fuels health, sparks, expansive thought, 9 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.920 aligns us spiritually and connects us to one another. Join 10 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.479 me as I weave astrology, intuition, and modern psychology to 11 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.799 ignite your soul's highest alignments. Each week, I sit down 12 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.880 with luminous guests who embody joy as a spiritual path, 13 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.119 a creative force, and a way of life. So take 14 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.560 a deep breath, open your heart, and let's dive into 15 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:57.240 the joy. Because when joy rules, transformation becomes inevitable. 16 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:00.799 It's for the soul. 17 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.759 I know I say this every week, but I feel 18 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.920 like a kid in a candy store. So I'm wearing 19 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.680 a heart on my chest to celebrate the Leo energy. 20 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.239 Because now the sun in the sky, whether you have 21 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:22.640 Leo energy or not, is in Leo. The most generous, heart, centered, playful, childlike, 22 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.159 joyful joy is a Leo construct. So we are in 23 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:31.799 Leo season now, and not only that, but the planet Jupiter, 24 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.519 the planet of wisdom, growth, optimism, expansion, the meaning and 25 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.920 purpose of life, or as I love to say, the 26 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.760 contract with God in the universe, which spends a year 27 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.200 in each sign. And you've heard me talk a lot 28 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.640 about that. Jupiter was in cancer, very emotional the last 29 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.159 year for a lot of folks, a lot of stuff around, 30 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.840 nervous system regulation, all of a sudden right, well, now 31 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.120 Jupiter is in Leo, which means it's time to take 32 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.000 your stage. Whoever you are in your life is, in 33 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.120 other words, here I am world. And you know that 34 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.480 thing that we say sometimes, you know, maybe some of 35 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.479 us grew up with someone said to you, who do 36 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.599 you think you are? Who do you think you are? Well, 37 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.120 who do you think you are? It's time to be 38 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.800 who you believe that you are. Because Leo is about shining. 39 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.319 It's about knowing that you are the light of the world. 40 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.800 We are all the light of the world to shine 41 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.639 in our own unique way. And that's what I love 42 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.879 about joy rules and the guests that I share with 43 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.960 and that share with all of you, because I'm picking 44 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.599 each guest according to the cosmic weather. I'm sure some 45 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.199 of you figure that out, but I don't know that 46 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.319 I've ever said it. So my luminous guest in the 47 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.439 nest for this episode is my good friend Sonya Nielsen, 48 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.919 whom I have known for probably about thirty years. And 49 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.000 I have to just tell you, and this is the 50 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.840 beauty of astrology, because again, Leo is the sign of 51 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.319 Sonya is a Leo. Her rising sign is Leo. Her 52 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.919 venus venus. You all have Venus in your chart. Venus 53 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.360 is what you love. People that have Venus and Leo, 54 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.520 they love love, they love to love. And so in 55 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.360 the years that I've known Sonya, and mainly in a 56 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.960 health capacity of it's always been about joy. So with 57 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.039 that said, Sonya, welcome to joy Rules. 58 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:31.280 Oh my god lord, I love this. You know we've 59 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.199 gone down so many I'm looking at the road here, 60 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.800 you know, the Wizard of Oz, and it always reminds 61 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.759 me of you, because you have always brought joy, whether 62 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.400 or no matter what you've gone through, You've always brought 63 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.400 joy into your life. And and me as a Leo, 64 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.080 I'm wanting to experiencing I want to experience it fully 65 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.000 now because I know my cells want to vibrate to 66 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.439 the light, to joy, to experience what they call the 67 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.120 golden years. Right, Why do they call them the golden years. 68 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.520 They don't call them the gray old crocke of the years. 69 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.840 They call them the golden years. I'm ready to put 70 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.000 on my gold jeans and dance for everybody. 71 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.439 I'm telling you, Well, what I love about this for 72 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.199 you is that you have written a book on youth 73 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.560 thing and you thing. Because I was re listening to 74 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.720 our watching our connection call earlier youth that's about Leo. 75 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.480 That's that's Leo energy. So here you are, and I 76 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.600 think you know again, I sort of went to bed 77 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.319 with thinking about your chart. You know, you're born with 78 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.800 as we've talked about many times, you're not just Leo. 79 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.439 You're born with the planet of power and transformation and 80 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.879 healing and regeneration Pluto next to your son. Well, you 81 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.920 know that can be someone that really their whole life 82 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.040 is about becoming comfortable with the power that they have, 83 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.600 the power that they wield. And because you have Virgo 84 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.519 energy in your chart, which is about being of service, 85 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.120 I was thinking about this earlier. Leo doesn't give a 86 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.040 crap about service. That's not Leo's job. Leo's job is 87 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.519 to show up, and you do it everywhere you go, 88 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.959 open hearted, ready for the experience. But again, for you, 89 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.160 that whole health the service. So so this decision that 90 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.639 you made, whether it was you know, subtle or over time, 91 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.439 I mean immediate or over time, of no longer wanting 92 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:36.720 to address the disease with people, but instead, uh focus 93 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.839 your energy on living more fully, living more vitally. Will 94 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:40.439 you speak to that. 95 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.160 Yes, this was a big uh huh okay, because I 96 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.759 was always really the virgo side of me would be 97 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.519 liking to research and study, and if you had a 98 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.800 particular issue, I'd go back into the old manuals of 99 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.759 the old naturopathy doctors about you know, what to do. 100 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.879 We had retail stores in one of the girls in 101 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.519 the retail store had cancer, and I was I spent 102 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.519 three or four nights researching it, you know, about her 103 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.879 particular cancer. And I would take some things on so 104 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.800 intensely because I knew transformation could happen and miracles exist, 105 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.920 and natural healing is a power that I know personally, 106 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.399 and that's why I wrote the book also to just 107 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.759 share with you that natural healing is a power once 108 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.360 you align yourself right, once you align yourself with the 109 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.680 joy withinside of you, or connecting with your God force 110 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:44.920 to lead the way. But now I found it like, okay, 111 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.560 what about me? Leo would like, okay, what about me? 112 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.439 And I'm like, ah, what about me? Well, I had 113 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:58.439 cancer two thy fifteen, and I had to walk through 114 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.839 the valley of death in order to come out on 115 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.480 the other side. And as you know, Laurel lies, sometimes 116 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.480 we have to process these emotions. We don't just go 117 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:12.000 from angst to complete joint and vibration all in one second. 118 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.079 Sometimes there's a process in this life. So that cancer 119 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.800 took me into a process. And I was sitting on 120 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.079 the couch and I did everything that I knew. But 121 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.439 there were these and you would love this, being from 122 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.839 New York. There were these great ladies being filmed with 123 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.000 all these fun outfits and they were eighty five and 124 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.720 ninety years old, and they were having the heck of 125 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.160 a good time. And I thought, that's what I want 126 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.480 to do. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna wear 127 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.680 all because as an older person you can wear fashion, 128 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.040 you know, you can have fun. I said, I'm gonna 129 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.519 put on those gold jeans. And I said this ten 130 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.120 years ago, and I'm gonna get up on stage and 131 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.920 say you can too. You know you can too if 132 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.480 you know your why, what is your purpose? And if 133 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.399 you don't cultivate it. And that's part of the reason 134 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.079 why I wrote the book. You thing is how do 135 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.800 we cultivate it? You know? So that's in the book. 136 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.279 Well, and what you say, let me see here. I 137 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.360 don't have the lights on very well, but because I've 138 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.600 got to put my glasses back on. You say, on 139 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.800 page ninety one, you're talking about the different ways to 140 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.759 cultivate joy. I mean to cultivate health and longevity. We 141 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:25.199 cultivate joy, the often forgotten nutrient that tells the nervous 142 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.680 system you are safe. Well, you speak to that. I 143 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.959 read that earlier and I said, I got to ask 144 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.080 her that because that's important for everybody to hear. 145 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.200 Well, everyone's talking about nervous regulation right now. It's tie 146 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.480 cheese all over TikTok and Instagram. And I'm glad it's 147 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.320 come back because my book doesn't only say you think 148 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:52.039 that's the intention, but the ancient rejuvenation practices and the 149 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:57.080 science of longevity. So with the nervous regulation. People are 150 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.320 wanting another way out because they're over stimulated. Thing is 151 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.600 over stimulation everything, the cities, the networks, the social media. 152 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.799 We are hooked. Okay, the gambling, the overeating, the over drinking, 153 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.200 all this messes with your nervous system and so your 154 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.840 dopamine receptor sites are blown out and you really don't 155 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:21.200 know how to calm down. Now. Things that I introduce, 156 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.519 you know, our five HTP, which is a nutrient to 157 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.399 help build natural serotonin. There used to be a book 158 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:36.080 called pro Potatoes, not prosac written by a wonderful researcher 159 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:43.639 on developing serotonin. Serotonin is your natural calming serve system. Now, 160 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.200 if you want joy, you want to maybe have a 161 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:51.519 little oxytocin and things of that nature. But so you 162 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.399 want to cultivate, you know, good healthy habits, and that's 163 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.320 what Dan Butener has brought into the limelight about the 164 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.919 longest li I think people are in the blue zones. 165 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.320 And he goes all over the world to Okanawa, to Greece, 166 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:11.679 I carry a Greece to people in Sicily and not Sicily, 167 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.879 but have part in Italy. And he studies these people 168 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.720 and Costa Rica and he studies. These people andli like 169 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:23.600 the Okinawa's, they have such joy. They go as a community. 170 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.360 It's not just the diet. It's not just the air, 171 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.039 it's not just the water. But it's community. And you 172 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.159 know that because you're involved in a great community. And 173 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.279 the old ladies or the old men, they play their 174 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.639 games after they've gardened at eighty eight years old, they've 175 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:44.000 done a full day of tilling their garden and they 176 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.919 bring their fresh vegetables and they sit in me and 177 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.039 they play these games, I don't know what type of games, 178 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.000 and they drink tea for hours. And then the Sicilia 179 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.000 or the Italians they dance all night, and the Greeks 180 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.799 they dance all night. They really do. They come together 181 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.720 as a community after they've done their daili's work and 182 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.720 they dance. So that's what Dan Butener has been saying. 183 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.360 It's not just they do eat a lot of plant foods. 184 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.720 It's not vegetarian, but it's a plant based diet and 185 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:18.000 that's what I basically promote, and that decreases the inflammation 186 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.240 of the rain. So if you're eating those fast foods 187 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.120 and you don't feel good, well, that's why, because you've 188 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.159 got inflammation of the brain and the gut and everything else. 189 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:32.399 But so I've sort of followed in Dan Butner's footsteps, 190 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.720 and then I have two other scientists I follow, and 191 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:37.159 so that's in the book. 192 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:42.000 Well, what I find so wonderful is that here's the 193 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:46.039 planet of expansion now in your sign in Leo, which 194 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.480 means everyone again gets to expand their creative self expression 195 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.879 and open their heart and generosity and all those things 196 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.399 I said earlier, but for you personally having Venus there 197 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.240 and then the sun much later as because you're born 198 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.360 like August twenty second, the last day of the sign 199 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.600 that the universe now, because this is a twelve year cycle, 200 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.039 so this is not something that happens every day.

I brought a little 224 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.519 speaker because I wanted to play my music by Patty LaBelle. 225 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.759 I got a new attitude and there are all these 226 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.600 balloons already set up like a stage.

There was like twenty 230 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.120 five people, you know. Ten of them bought books and 231 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.240 afterwards and I signed them and I told them. You know, 232 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.919 if you have any real questions, I'm not focusing on 233 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.200 the disease. I'm not doing consultations. But if you have 234 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.799 a specific question, I'd be glad about vitamins, you know, 235 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.240 twenty five years and I can, I'd be glad to 236 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:10.159 you know, reply so. But it was just a fantastic experience. 237 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.600 And they said, they told her, what a great speaker. 238 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.759 We want her back. You know, where is she now? 239 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.200 You know, just it was just so much fun. 240 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:21.759 You know what just occurred to me as you were talking. 241 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.720 By shifting this your trajectory in other words, from disease 242 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:35.720 to more vitality, longevity, joy, whatever, that that's unlocking your power, 243 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:36.639 like in. 244 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.559 Other words, the power. Yeah, unlocking the power. I can 245 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:45.600 feel it. It wasn't godshot, Yes, one of those Oh 246 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.799 my god, I've been focusing on disease. 247 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.440 And you know, it's so interesting because I know a 248 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.480 couple of other folks that are in that same uh 249 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.120 venue of same thing like of I'm not going to 250 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.240 focus on the what's wrong anymore or what it's not working. 251 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.759 I'm going to focus on how we want it to work. 252 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:09.000 So I love this for you. And as we talked 253 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.360 about you know, you have significant Sagittarius energy in your chart, 254 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.519 the moon Saturn and those of you that have Sagittarius energy. 255 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.600 Saget is the teacher, the salesman, the traveler, the wanderer, 256 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:27.600 the marketer, the eternal optimist, all of that. So again 257 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.360 you are teaching that. You know, you've always been teaching. 258 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.639 I've always learned from you for thirty years. But now 259 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:38.240 it's like it's like the teacher and the joy is 260 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:39.480 coming together. 261 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.480 Well, so this is what I just wanted to say 262 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.360 this to you. So I looked up something on one 263 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.519 of our media things that I found this about joy, 264 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.559 and I thought, well, this is perfect for you, and 265 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.679 I'll send it to you, Lorla. But it says is 266 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.519 that joy is a natural expression of a life that 267 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.960 is in alignment. It isn't something we chase. It is 268 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:05.720 something that immerges when our body, mind, heart and spirit 269 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.279 are working together. And who knew it would take this long. 270 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.080 I mean, we both known each other. We're both like 271 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:20.039 experiencing this co creation regeneration, you know, just all the rise, 272 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:25.240 you know, re energizing ourselves, reinventing ourselves, and it's just 273 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.480 really exciting. And you've gone down some tough roads yourself. Yeah. 274 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:34.559 Absolutely, Oh, absolutely, yeah. I mean it's like every day 275 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.240 I'm learning something about joy. In other words, whether it's again, 276 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.960 every time we smile, we're enjoy even if depending it 277 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.399 doesn't matter what it is. If you're smiling, you're enjoy 278 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.919 even if it's only thirty seconds. So I find this 279 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.440 really so fascinating, and especially having known you so long 280 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:55.799 and maybe and you know what I see in you 281 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.440 that I see in me, I guess there's a mirror 282 00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:58.879 here because of what I was just gonna say to 283 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.320 you is it's like all these things that you've done 284 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:05.480 have come together now and have coalesced, and it's like 285 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:09.200 you're you're trajector I mean, like I said, the fact 286 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.880 that you've shifted your focus from the from the disease 287 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:18.839 to the vitality is so I would use an exploct expletive, 288 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.400 but I won't use it on the air. That that 289 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.240 is so amazing, I mean in terms of because that's 290 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.880 all it takes. It's a shift in perception. You just 291 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:34.359 shifted your perception from that from disease to vitality longevity, 292 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:36.880 and that's all of us. You know what it is 293 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.440 to change our mind right, that's why our thoughts don't 294 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.200 mean anything well. 295 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.400 And sometimes I believe, like for me, I believe in grace. 296 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.720 I believe grace isn't like when even positive things can't 297 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:54.119 be forced, negative things shouldn't be forced. I believe it's 298 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:59.119 been a long wait, you know, for this switch, like 299 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:05.119 turning on this switch, but it has come and now 300 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.960 it's like it's a trajectory like your joy movement that 301 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.200 can take you wherever it needs to take you, and 302 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:16.039 it's it's unlimited. And I've always going, you know, what 303 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.920 is this abundance thing that's unlimited thing? I'm you know, 304 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.519 you know they're materialistic. I'm thinking these people that are 305 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.640 always talking about this. But now when you get it internally, 306 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:31.319 you've got to have it the mind, body spirit alignment 307 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:36.640 of your truth. And you done that and we're doing 308 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:39.200 it together in law Aline. It's wonderful that we are, 309 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.839 you know, it's really nice to see this and like 310 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.839 people like Karen and I've got a friend named Troy. 311 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.440 If he's listening, he's like redoing his whole world as 312 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.480 a garden. And he looks younger than he did ten 313 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.319 years ago because he's he's out there at you know 314 00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:00.000 at certain age and he's lifting trees and planting palms, 315 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.519 and you know he's not living in Florida like he 316 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.759 wanted to. So he created, you know, this beautiful oasis 317 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:10.720 of the tropical paradise in his back hard and we 318 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.799 can do it. You just have to tune into what 319 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.480 really makes you happy, what resonates with you. Yeah, you know, 320 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.920 I have eight principles that I go I base my 321 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.400 lecture on. The first one is sleep and I'm gonna 322 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.400 do with that on Instagram. Probably just take each principle, 323 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.799 but that's what I'm going to be bringing into my 324 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:35.039 speaking engagement. But the eighth principle is know your why? 325 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.799 Why do you want to be here? Yeah, you know, 326 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.000 you got to know. Is it your grandchildren? Is it 327 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:42.960 because you want to all of a sudden become a 328 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.799 fashion designer and you want to paint? You know? What 329 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.039 is your why? You gotta have a why to wake 330 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:48.839 up in the morning. 331 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.559 Well, and you know, I feel that the why unlocks 332 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:58.799 itself or presents itself, or it's easier to see the 333 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:02.359 more we know who we are and understand our cast 334 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.839 of characters, which is what I call all the planets. 335 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.720 If I'm owning all the qualities, you know, of those 336 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.400 those energies, the things that are less attractive, less conscious, 337 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:17.119 and the beautiful things. That's where the joy is because 338 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:20.640 then I'm accepting and loving myself in a place that 339 00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:23.279 I just naturally want to share that and extend that 340 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.720 to others. And I mean, what feels better than shining 341 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.400 your light being who you are. I'm saying this to 342 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.559 you and to everyone, being who you are and being 343 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.559 in service to others. I mean, that's really that's what 344 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:37.839 it's all about. 345 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.799 It's authentic. You know, we went through, We went through 346 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.440 the whole gendre of positive things, you and I. We 347 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.440 could do a show on that. Forty years of metaphysical, 348 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:55.319 the New Age, New Thought movement, you know, of affirmations, manifestations, 349 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.319 you know, whatever it is. But the work that we 350 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.119 have done, and you know, I think this is something 351 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:07.079 also in the truest sense of the Golden Years, I 352 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:12.319 really believe this was God's intention for us to become older. 353 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.839 They talked about wiser. Why can't we be older and 354 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:20.359 more joyful and more limber, limber and healthier than we 355 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.319 ever were before? And we can show that that's my 356 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.720 intention for myself. I'm wanting to share that. You know, 357 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.359 I'm getting healthier every day. And the reason, you, guys, 358 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.680 why I post my vegetables. You kept saying to me, 359 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.359 are you cooking? When you cook for me? I'm like, no, 360 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:40.920 I'm not a chef, but I'll come over for you 361 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:46.359 any day. Is because when I'm cleaner, when I'm lighter, 362 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.400 when I'm using the philosophies that I'm embracing and i'm 363 00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:53.559 anfirming them and living them. When I pick up a 364 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.000 purple cabbage and I get excited, how beautiful this thing is. 365 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.759 I'm not on any medication. I just like it vibrates, you. 366 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.200 Know, because you know how good that is for you. 367 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:07.759 Correct it's a lie. 368 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.480 It's a lie, you know. So I've always been a 369 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.920 proponent of the live food movement for healing. Not everybody 370 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.640 can do it one hundred percent, but embrace it. Embrace 371 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.960 the polyphenols, antioxidants and as much life because that is 372 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.400 where the life force is. So that's where you're going 373 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.880 to get electrical energy. 374 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:30.880 What I think is so beautiful is I think you're 375 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.599 going to have so many opportunities are going to come 376 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.640 to you to be in service to addressing the Virgo 377 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.960 part of you that bring you so much joy, like, 378 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.599 oh my god, I can hear you saying, oh my God, 379 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:46.720 I get to go there. I get to go there 380 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:50.680 and speak and talk and share, you know. Because again, 381 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:54.160 Jupiter's and Leo now until next summer, then from the 382 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.000 summer of twenty seven to the summer of twenty twenty 383 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:01.079 eight in Virgo, which means your communication is going to expand, 384 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.039 and then Jupiter from twenty nine to twenty nine will 385 00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.839 be in Libra. So which is your Jupiter? So you 386 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.359 know this whole, And I find myself wanting to say, 387 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:14.480 I wonder why they why do they call it the 388 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.079 Golden Years? Where does that come from? By the way, 389 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.880 I mean, I love the way it sounds, But what 390 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.960 is it? I mean, what is it? 391 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.799 Really? I need to look it up. It sounds Greek. 392 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.599 I don't know, like the Golden Years like somebody like. 393 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.359 But I'm guessing. But that's that's a good question. See, 394 00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:30.319 we're going to go deeper. 395 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.039 You know what's interesting I posted if anybody knows, yeah, 396 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:37.440 the Golden Years. But what's interesting is Jupiter's in Leo. 397 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.920 Leo is the gold you know, it represents gold among 398 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.119 other things. So it's kind of interesting that we're talking about, 399 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.160 you know, the Golden Years, and of course a lot of. 400 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.519 It is this is golden wine. I mean that's what 401 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:54.160
