The 10 00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:38.950 wolves awakened her to the most incredible light, which opened 11 00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:42.399 gifts and brought knowledge that she longs to share.

For 19 00:01:14.890 --> 00:01:18.049 those of you who don't know me, I awakened with 20 00:01:18.109 --> 00:01:20.170 wolves when I met a wolf. It talked to me 21 00:01:20.209 --> 00:01:23.829 the same way I'm talking now. And they spent years 22 00:01:23.909 --> 00:01:26.109 teaching me how to read the energy of the heart. 23 00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:30.189 And I can intuitively hear plants, animals, and people. I 24 00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:34.930 became an intuitive healer and writer as a result. Now, 25 00:01:35.030 --> 00:01:37.390 we always have a special guest, but we have a 26 00:01:37.450 --> 00:01:40.969 very special guest today. And let me tell you about her. 27 00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:45.819 She has spent 40 years studying yoga, working from the 28 00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:51.079 inside out.

She's co-founder of 30 00:01:54.989 --> 00:01:59.310 Light on Light Publications and Media and host editor for 31 00:01:59.349 --> 00:02:03.709 the magazine's annual yoga editions. in partnership with the International 32 00:02:03.769 --> 00:02:09.110 Day of Yoga Committee at United Nations.

And I 36 00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:29.000 think that's enough to tell them, but let's start with 37 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.330 Kundalini in case people are not familiar with it. And 38 00:02:32.349 --> 00:02:35.090 then we're going to share some details of her Path 39 00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:36.449 to Awakening program. 40 00:02:37.189 --> 00:02:44.349 Wonderful. Hello, everyone. I'm so excited to share my heart 41 00:02:44.389 --> 00:02:47.969 with you today. Just the heart, just the devotional heart. 42 00:02:49.289 --> 00:02:54.060 Our beautiful Julia always reminds us that she is the 43 00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:59.960 witness to the wolf and must have sent the black, 44 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.669 white-tipped wolf tailed fox yesterday for me when I came 45 00:03:05.770 --> 00:03:08.229 out of the medicine wheel. I was praying for my 46 00:03:08.289 --> 00:03:13.590 son's birthday and up I come, you know, from deep 47 00:03:13.629 --> 00:03:16.300 in the forest to up to the dirt road. I 48 00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:23.680 live in rural mountain, old historical town of Gold Hill 49 00:03:23.740 --> 00:03:28.300 where they first founded gold. And gold is really, you know, 50 00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:33.310 an essential part of our aura. Our golden, we have 51 00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:36.990 a mantra that goes, you know, the Rayman mantra. I 52 00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:40.409 have a bracelet here that I carry with the mantra 53 00:03:40.610 --> 00:03:44.990 on just to remind me that we do have the 54 00:03:45.210 --> 00:03:51.750 ability to create a golden aura. And it does. 55 00:03:52.189 --> 00:03:55.889 I live near a gold place too, like from Dulanaga, 56 00:03:55.949 --> 00:03:59.750 which is one of the first places they discovered gold. And, 57 00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:02.129 you know, in alchemy, they have the four sides of 58 00:04:02.150 --> 00:04:07.069 the pyramid. And they say when you can align your emotional, physical, mental, 59 00:04:07.129 --> 00:04:09.780 and spiritual selves, then you can create gold. 60 00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:16.279 Wow. Let's try that. Yeah. Should we try that? I 61 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.680 felt like we should just sink into that for a minute. 62 00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:21.600 Say that again. Sure. 63 00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:24.120 In alchemy, you know, they say that one of the 64 00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:27.740 things they do is to take a normal piece mineral, 65 00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:32.029 a piece of iron, a piece of lead, and transmute 66 00:04:32.050 --> 00:04:35.430 it into gold. But what the gold is really about 67 00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:40.110 is bringing your physical body, your emotional body, your mental body, 68 00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:45.250 and your spiritual body, and forming the four-sided pyramid. And 69 00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:48.000 when you can lift up all four parts of yourself 70 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.019 and put them in alignment, they say you can create 71 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:52.079 gold at that point. 72 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.699 Thank you. Did we all see that this time around, 73 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:05.600 that delivery? Could you connect those angles and triangles of 74 00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:10.199 what Julia just described? Because it took me back to 75 00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:16.910 my daily walk, my meditative walk, where I integrate that 76 00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:22.569 understanding of each step, each breath. It's Thich Nhat Hanh, right? 77 00:05:22.610 --> 00:05:28.800 Julia says, inhale one step forward, exhale the next step forward. 78 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.459 It takes three hours to go one mile. And it's 79 00:05:33.939 --> 00:05:37.220 useful for the brain. It's useful for the rhythm and 80 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.889 the cadence of what you wove together with the mineral 81 00:05:40.930 --> 00:05:46.610 of gold. And your TTN here is gold and everything 82 00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:50.980 around us should be gold and golden and not should 83 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.699 be is has a quality of gold and now don't 84 00:05:55.730 --> 00:05:58.310 you all i just see gold everywhere i see it 85 00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:03.170 in your hair in your background and everything i just 86 00:06:03.209 --> 00:06:06.170 see the aura of gold well it's. 87 00:06:06.110 --> 00:06:09.029 What we're supposed to lift ourselves up to and interestingly 88 00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:11.470 there is a good bit of gold in seawater but 89 00:06:11.509 --> 00:06:13.029 they don't know how to extract it. 90 00:06:13.790 --> 00:06:20.250 All right yeah coronado beach in san diego When you watch, 91 00:06:20.430 --> 00:06:27.689 it's all gold sand, golden sand. So how do we 92 00:06:27.769 --> 00:06:29.610 extract that with kundalini yoga? 93 00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:31.970 That's what I was getting ready to ask. 94 00:06:32.149 --> 00:06:37.250 What a segue. I mean, with the inhale and the exhale, 95 00:06:37.290 --> 00:06:44.139 the step-by-step, the metatarsal to the heel, the mindful placement 96 00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:50.720 of the... So we don't get super overwhelmed with the 97 00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:56.920 outside world. We have to integrate the inside of our 98 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:02.199 authentic voice from our authentic chakras. You know, the chakras 99 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.740 are spoken about as spirals, right? You're used to the spiral. No. 100 00:07:09.779 --> 00:07:14.300 There's something different that just came through and they're hoops. 101 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.399 So the base of the spine to the second chakra, 102 00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:23.579 negative mind, to the third chakra, positive mind, to the 103 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.910 fourth chakra, heart, neutral mind, are all spiral. They're like 104 00:07:29.050 --> 00:07:35.930 spinning discs. And I just saw it spewing gold. You know, 105 00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:40.050 because when we wring out the tension or the anxiety 106 00:07:40.110 --> 00:07:50.019 or the keeping up, we excrete these happy hormones that 107 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.779 keep us connected with the joy and the light and 108 00:07:55.250 --> 00:08:00.949 the yoga of awakening is the end title of my book. 109 00:08:01.649 --> 00:08:06.449 It's the eventual steps we take and commitment we have 110 00:08:06.870 --> 00:08:13.839 towards ourself and keeping ourself healthy Happy, wholesome is a long, long, 111 00:08:14.139 --> 00:08:17.360 early morning journey. 112 00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:19.500 So you're telling people this is a good way to 113 00:08:19.579 --> 00:08:23.060 start because we are going through a chaotic time, but 114 00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:26.350 we're also receiving more light. So the way I see 115 00:08:26.389 --> 00:08:28.470 it is we have two choices. We can get sort 116 00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:32.110 of consumed by the chaos or we can decide to 117 00:08:32.169 --> 00:08:35.250 move into awakening, which then somehow or other makes sense 118 00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:37.250 of the chaos or doesn't care. 119 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.960 It cares very much, yes, it cares so much. 120 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.899 Detached is a good way to say it. 121 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.129 You see it, you know it. 122 00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:49.250 But you're detached. 123 00:08:49.570 --> 00:08:56.330 Yes, because that attachment consumes the old subconscious patterns in 124 00:08:56.529 --> 00:09:03.980 the mind. And really, we're looking at generator-organizer delivery now. 125 00:09:04.830 --> 00:09:09.529 And yes, Shiva and Shakti work as the Ida, the Pingula, 126 00:09:09.570 --> 00:09:11.350 the right-left hemisphere of the brain. 127 00:09:11.370 --> 00:09:13.549 Okay, so let's say it in a way that they 128 00:09:13.590 --> 00:09:15.509 can follow you with it. What would be the right 129 00:09:15.529 --> 00:09:16.879 and the left sides of the brain? 130 00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:20.360 So the right side is the masculine. 131 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.179 Right. 132 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:25.279 And the left side is the feminine. And with the 133 00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:31.080 nostril breathing, like the breath of fire through the nostrils 134 00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:37.340 or through... the navel point, when you generate, organize, and 135 00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:43.970 deliver a specific breath prana, you go straight up below 136 00:09:43.990 --> 00:09:51.269 the lower chakras that keep us grounded. So the chakras 137 00:09:51.309 --> 00:09:56.990 that keep us grounded are activated through the nostril breath, 138 00:09:57.789 --> 00:10:00.779 which is the ida and the pingula, which runs up 139 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:06.059 and down the right-left side of the spine. And that spirals. 140 00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:11.240 And then you come to the heart center. You center there. 141 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.279 And that's the shishmana. And that's where you want to 142 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.779 speak from. That's where you want to come from. You know, 143 00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:25.679 if you want to be heard, as you've just correctly asked, 144 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:30.139 how do we see that in an everyday world? Well, 145 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.259 do we not have a right and a left side, 146 00:10:33.610 --> 00:10:37.120 all of us? We have that in common, no matter 147 00:10:37.210 --> 00:10:41.789 what our gender, is we're right and we're left. And 148 00:10:41.990 --> 00:10:44.669 if we can understand the right side of the brain 149 00:10:44.730 --> 00:10:49.149 with the left, energetic, And the right side of the 150 00:10:49.429 --> 00:10:53.169 body with the left side of the brain will balance. 151 00:10:54.889 --> 00:10:57.210 And that's what we find in the heart chakra because 152 00:10:57.250 --> 00:10:59.610 it's in the center of the system. We've got three 153 00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:02.950 chakras above it and three below. So if we're in 154 00:11:03.009 --> 00:11:04.830 the heart, our energy is balanced. 155 00:11:05.269 --> 00:11:07.450 Thank you. Thank you. 156 00:11:08.730 --> 00:11:10.850 I was just going to say, when you do speak 157 00:11:10.909 --> 00:11:14.809 through the heart, it is such a surprise because you're 158 00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:18.279 saying things you wouldn't normally say. And you can even 159 00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:20.720 say them in a soft voice and everyone hears it. 160 00:11:21.070 --> 00:11:23.470 It has a completely different effect on life. 161 00:11:25.789 --> 00:11:30.370 And it has a cooling effect. Not only calming, but 162 00:11:30.590 --> 00:11:33.929 cools the body down. So when we go into the 163 00:11:34.009 --> 00:11:40.980 nutritional part of the diet, the cucumber, the celery, the 164 00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:44.460 body needs to be cooled down because the fire, the 165 00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:49.679 Leo we're in right now, That fire sign is sparky, no? 166 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.480 Look at the equinox, you know, and look, I mean, 167 00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:59.159 coming in the eclipse. Look at the eclipse. It's so 168 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:04.100 vital to understand the cosmos and the planets integrated into 169 00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:05.100 your yoga practice. 170 00:12:07.090 --> 00:12:09.690 Fun stuff. This would be one of the things they 171 00:12:09.710 --> 00:12:10.929 would learn in your path. 172 00:12:11.549 --> 00:12:13.309 Yes. Yes. Yes. 173 00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:17.100 So let's talk about the program just a little bit 174 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.960 so people can understand where you would take them. 175 00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:23.759 Yes, love to. So the mind is what we're working 176 00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:27.889 with here on the 81 Facets. And the 81 Facets 177 00:12:27.950 --> 00:12:32.870 has its projections and it has its tendencies to throw 178 00:12:33.009 --> 00:12:38.909 us into an old curriculum, if you like. An old pattern. 179 00:12:39.370 --> 00:12:43.679 You could call it subconscious, conscious, unconscious. You can call 180 00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:48.059 it all the science you want. It's pretty practical. Go ahead. 181 00:12:49.299 --> 00:12:52.279 Oh, I was just thinking about how those patterns are 182 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.600 also written in your body. 183 00:12:55.620 --> 00:13:03.440 Oh, sweetheart, so written. So written. I went to a 184 00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:09.929 reunion recently, and I said to everyone, what are you doing? 185 00:13:10.429 --> 00:13:13.950 Tell me all about you. And they were like, I'm retired. 186 00:13:14.610 --> 00:13:20.600 And I'm like, you're kidding. We're supposed to do that? Oh, 187 00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:24.720 at 55? We're supposed to do that? Really? And then 188 00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:29.299 our poor dog gets all our energy, right? You're still home. 189 00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:32.139 You're not doing anything. I just want to sleep. Leave 190 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:37.230 me alone. But, you know, it's really how you keep 191 00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:41.409 your energy awakened enough. 192 00:13:41.049 --> 00:13:47.950 To live through your 50, 60, 70s with the brain intact, 193 00:13:48.629 --> 00:13:52.269 with the mind intact and there's a responsibility to all 194 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:52.720 of this. 195 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.840 So there's the defender, there's the manager, there's the preserver 196 00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:02.340 and those are all in the negative mind, the second 197 00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:08.179 chakra we spoke of. The third chakra is the positive 198 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.269 mind and they have the artist, the producer and the missionary. 199 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:17.000 And then there's four meditations that go with each one 200 00:14:17.059 --> 00:14:22.440 of these aspects. And then the last three aspects is 201 00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:27.879 the strategist for the great leader and the teacher. And 202 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.950 that's the nine aspects. So what we do is we 203 00:14:32.490 --> 00:14:36.429 call out. If one of those resonated with you, Julia, 204 00:14:36.950 --> 00:14:40.169 would it be the defender, manager, preserver? Would it be 205 00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:42.230 the artist, producer, missionary? 206 00:14:42.710 --> 00:14:47.129 It would be a real balancing between those two things 207 00:14:47.169 --> 00:14:49.809 because I love being creative, but if I start, I 208 00:14:49.830 --> 00:14:50.649 can't stop. 209 00:14:51.830 --> 00:14:57.620 Yes. So you'd find that the strategist might be something that, 210 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.120 or the mission, missionary might be something that would balance 211 00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:05.379 between the artist and the other you. 212 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:10.000 Were speaking of. Or to preserve, because certainly when I'm creating, 213 00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:11.600 everything goes everywhere. 214 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:17.190 You know, my son, Mama, you're such a preserver. I'm like, well, 215 00:15:17.210 --> 00:15:23.990 I restore a lot. Everything. And it does start with 216 00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:28.009 your own furniture and how you polish yourself when you 217 00:15:28.070 --> 00:15:34.190 polish the wood. And you shine, you know, you shine 218 00:15:34.210 --> 00:15:37.090 your copper with, You know, it's just all. 219 00:15:37.509 --> 00:15:40.809 That is bringing out the inner beauty of something that exists. 220 00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:41.830 Yes. 221 00:15:42.370 --> 00:15:47.789 And this is the course. So there's nine aspects, 27 projections. 222 00:15:47.850 --> 00:15:52.340 So we have four meditations per aspect. So just for 223 00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:56.379 an example, if you were feeling super defensive, you would 224 00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:59.019 call out, Karuna, I want the defender today. I want 225 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.879 to work with the defender. And I would say, great, 226 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.629 we're going to work with the soldier today. We're going 227 00:16:04.649 --> 00:16:06.870 to work with the ombudsman and we're going to work 228 00:16:06.909 --> 00:16:10.169 with the prospector. But we're going to first work on 229 00:16:10.210 --> 00:16:13.549 the defender and we're going to do a specific meditation. 230 00:16:14.409 --> 00:16:18.340 Only three minutes to get you right to there so 231 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.840 that maybe in your Buddhist or other practices you don't 232 00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:27.399 believe in mantra. You don't believe in chanting. You don't 233 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.879 believe in what I do with you with the gong 234 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:36.009 is going to raise your vibration. It's okay. It's okay. Eventually, 235 00:16:36.029 --> 00:16:39.590 you might just say, and I answered this question the 236 00:16:39.870 --> 00:16:45.629 other day with a really strong, strong Buddhist practitioner. I said, 237 00:16:45.649 --> 00:16:48.779 just take it to devotion. Doesn't a song make you 238 00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:53.799 feel fabulous or sad or make you feel something? And 239 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.159 she goes, gosh, I could really do that. I can 240 00:16:58.210 --> 00:17:03.149 do that. So there's a way through every block. And 241 00:17:03.210 --> 00:17:05.869 we do it with the mind course. And that's the 242 00:17:05.869 --> 00:17:10.119 81 facets. And then, Julia, we have the healing grief 243 00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:16.019 that is an add-on that you can take during this course. 244 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:22.119 So this course is 12 weeks. We have another six-week 245 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.940 course of healing grief where we get into that beautiful 246 00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:31.720 place where you're stuck. And I call it beautiful because 247 00:17:32.089 --> 00:17:37.369 it's a gift to understand I'm stuck. That's the first 248 00:17:37.690 --> 00:17:40.789 door opening is admitting. 249 00:17:40.930 --> 00:17:43.490 And I think in all spiritual work, people will say, 250 00:17:43.529 --> 00:17:46.549 how can I become more intuitive? And I'll say, observe more. 251 00:17:47.490 --> 00:17:51.789 Thank you. And observe from spirit versus ego. 252 00:17:52.549 --> 00:17:54.930 Right. And if I'm in a pattern, I'm in a pattern. 253 00:17:55.009 --> 00:17:56.849 It's where I'll live for a few hours. I can 254 00:17:56.910 --> 00:17:58.089 observe it and change it. 255 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.890 And excite yourself that you will. And that's the biggest thing, Julia. 256 00:18:04.490 --> 00:18:08.470 We see change. We say, oh my gosh, I haven't 257 00:18:08.529 --> 00:18:11.910 attracted that same person for the last year and a half. Wow, 258 00:18:12.869 --> 00:18:18.390 I've moved on. And maybe it takes six months to 259 00:18:18.490 --> 00:18:22.700 understand what you're doing here. But it doesn't take 22 260 00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:23.680 years like a. 261 00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:25.500 Yoga practice does. 262 00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:28.369 We don't have time. And as a matter of fact, 263 00:18:28.390 --> 00:18:31.269 the physical body says, give me a break. 264 00:18:31.289 --> 00:18:33.809 We have a physical body and we have our spiritual 265 00:18:33.869 --> 00:18:37.049 propensity to connect to the light. And you put those 266 00:18:37.130 --> 00:18:38.890 things together and it's powerful. 267 00:18:39.890 --> 00:18:43.000 So gorgeous what you say. Don't we just want to 268 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.400 hear Julia repeat everything she says? Are you with me 269 00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:51.400 on that? I mean, the light, the light on Kundalini. Yes, 270 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:57.819 it's Kundalini, but no, not only that. It's lifestyle now, Julia. 271 00:18:58.019 --> 00:19:02.740 I had to bring Path of Awakening out with the begin, 272 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:08.119 the deepen, the transform, and the fourth is to lead. 273 00:19:08.619 --> 00:19:13.319 And that's exactly, the leader is the eighth aspect, which 274 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:18.400 below it has the protector, the commander, and the pathfinder 275 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:23.779 in its meditations. So we connect to the protector. So 276 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:34.380 we put... Mantra, perhaps, all these are super easy to learn. 277 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.450 And they mean something. True in the beginning, true through 278 00:19:39.490 --> 00:19:43.609 all times, true even now. Namik says will always be true. 279 00:19:43.630 --> 00:19:45.670 I think the. 280 00:19:45.470 --> 00:19:47.990 Really good thing about mantra too is you can make 281 00:19:48.029 --> 00:19:51.380 a mistake with it and it's self-correct. After a while 282 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.319 it will hit you. Oh I left that part out 283 00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:56.400 or oh I mispronounced this and you just know it. 284 00:19:57.140 --> 00:20:01.240 You just feel it. Yeah. You feel it and that 285 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:06.470 knowledge that one you know of those four steps of 286 00:20:06.549 --> 00:20:10.809 who I am, who am I, You know, am I 287 00:20:10.910 --> 00:20:16.210 the critic right now? Is there really anything called a 288 00:20:16.390 --> 00:20:23.079 mistake anymore? It is just a mistake. 289 00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.259 Oh, good. 290 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.559 I don't have to beat myself up or stay up 291 00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:31.660 all night, you know, create these habits to get me 292 00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.640 to go to sleep. So I talk a lot on 293 00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:41.259 the YouTube channel. There's some new interviews there. about medicating 294 00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:47.359 and meditating. And I learned this 15 years ago when 295 00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:51.339 the Dalai Lama was in Washington, DC, and I was 296 00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:57.210 his guest with one of his people who support him, 297 00:20:57.230 --> 00:21:03.029 his donators. And we sat in the company of the 298 00:21:03.069 --> 00:21:09.420 Dalai Lama for three days And he spoke with scientists, researchers, 299 00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:14.440 everyone to do with pharmaceuticals. And he said, it's okay. 300 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.960 And I say, and I agree. And I've tested the 301 00:21:18.029 --> 00:21:26.130 water since. Yes, medication is necessary. But meditation gives you 302 00:21:26.210 --> 00:21:32.190 permission to honor how you're trying to heal and take 303 00:21:32.230 --> 00:21:36.769 care of yourself. And you know what happens? Suddenly, like 304 00:21:36.809 --> 00:21:42.069 we just said, things dissolve and change. And you don't 305 00:21:42.430 --> 00:21:45.759 need it anymore, perhaps. But get the doctor to tell 306 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.700 you that. The doctor will. 307 00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:50.859 Be your first guide. I will tell you a funny 308 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:53.680 story about the Dalai Lama. A good friend of mine 309 00:21:54.339 --> 00:21:57.200 had an audience with him. And he told him all 310 00:21:57.220 --> 00:21:59.849 of his problems and how all of his life was going. 311 00:22:00.450 --> 00:22:02.869 And he said he was quiet for about three minutes 312 00:22:02.970 --> 00:22:04.470 and he looked at him and he said, what if 313 00:22:04.509 --> 00:22:05.529 you were happy now? 314 00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:14.750 Yes, yes. And that brings me to what one feels 315 00:22:15.069 --> 00:22:22.559 after a session of the mind. When you start this course, 316 00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:27.019 and you can start with me on September 22nd, that 317 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.950 I got, I launched it on 8.8. Lionsgate. I've been 318 00:22:31.009 --> 00:22:34.980 working on it since February. Actually, it was activated at 319 00:22:35.019 --> 00:22:41.740 the UN in October with the ELs, with our committee 320 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:48.480 to bring Yoga Day, International Yoga Day back into play. 321 00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:55.109 And we play. We play in this course. We engage. 322 00:22:55.450 --> 00:22:59.740 We speak. And if you don't want to speak, you don't. 323 00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:03.829 But you feel what you just described the Dalai Lama said. 324 00:23:04.349 --> 00:23:06.170 What if you feel happy right now? 325 00:23:06.789 --> 00:23:09.809 Yeah, because that's where happiness starts is in the moment. 326 00:23:10.410 --> 00:23:13.470 Just a few moments of being happy. And it's certainly 327 00:23:13.529 --> 00:23:16.109 making me happy to talk to you now. But it 328 00:23:16.309 --> 00:23:18.009 alters the flow of your day. 329 00:23:19.630 --> 00:23:24.589 Yes, you're right. Don't we love this woman so much? 330 00:23:24.849 --> 00:23:25.450 Oh my gosh. 331 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.200 Julia, that's why we're talking about awakening because and that's 332 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.569 why you're offering this is because it's a transformation from 333 00:23:34.609 --> 00:23:37.910 what everyday life is right now that you're just in 334 00:23:37.950 --> 00:23:40.910 your mind or emotions that certainly can't make you happy 335 00:23:41.450 --> 00:23:44.690 to moving to a higher place where happiness returns to you. 336 00:23:45.369 --> 00:23:46.769 Yes, yes. 337 00:23:47.589 --> 00:23:56.140 And then creating An event creating something like these 81 338 00:23:56.140 --> 00:24:02.339 facets to help each other become happy, to honor that, 339 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.349 to have a party, a celebration at the end of 340 00:24:06.410 --> 00:24:09.029 this 12 week series where. 341 00:24:08.890 --> 00:24:12.089 We all come together on top of this mountain and 342 00:24:12.130 --> 00:24:16.160 we tell our stories and we have, you know, a 343 00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:21.910 beautiful feast. And we take, you know, time to really 344 00:24:22.069 --> 00:24:27.210 settle in. So there's an ongoing, because on top of 345 00:24:27.269 --> 00:24:31.190 the healing grief, we add the ten bodies. So we 346 00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:35.240 add the ten bodies so we understand there's seven chakras, 347 00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:42.539 soul body, negative, positive, neutral mind. Then there's the physical body, 348 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:47.019 the intuition, the aura, the eighth body is the prana, 349 00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:50.380 the breath. the ninth body subtle, and the tenth body 350 00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:57.220 is radiant body. It is today you are radiant. Not tomorrow, 351 00:24:57.359 --> 00:24:59.660 or I'm going to become, or let me just lose 352 00:24:59.660 --> 00:25:08.529 20 pounds. All that is your continuing pattern of repeating, 353 00:25:08.589 --> 00:25:13.230 which is necessary in meditation and mantra to repeat, but. 354 00:25:13.170 --> 00:25:23.710 Not the negative stuff. Let's repeat the If you just say, say, 355 00:25:24.910 --> 00:25:36.779 it does something. If you say, it opened my temples. 356 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:40.180 It opened my inner ear. It put a vibration. And 357 00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:43.779 what does it mean? The sun and the moon come 358 00:25:43.859 --> 00:25:52.089 together and we dance and delight. And yes, there's sadness. Yes, 359 00:25:52.210 --> 00:25:58.410 there's dropping of all that melting down like wax into 360 00:25:58.470 --> 00:26:02.730 the earth again and then restoring. So after we do 361 00:26:02.789 --> 00:26:06.250 the 12 weeks and we add the healing grief and 362 00:26:06.289 --> 00:26:11.460 we add the 10 bodies, in January we do the rebirthings. 363 00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:18.869 33 rebirthings. One right after the other, once a week. 364 00:26:19.210 --> 00:26:24.829 We just pile through our stuff that the virus residue 365 00:26:24.910 --> 00:26:29.390 might not have got to. And that's the course. Because 366 00:26:29.430 --> 00:26:35.109 when you said transform, we transform with the rebirthings. 367 00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:39.339 And we become more of who we truly are. Because 368 00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:41.900 I was thinking when you talk about the radiance, every 369 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.690 now and then a tree will show me It's radiance. 370 00:26:44.890 --> 00:26:47.369 And I was telling the student that. I said, that 371 00:26:47.390 --> 00:26:49.289 would be a good way for you to develop your 372 00:26:49.309 --> 00:26:53.250 intuitive gifts because you already have a thing going with trees. 373 00:26:54.109 --> 00:26:57.950 And she said, well, do they do this often? And 374 00:26:58.009 --> 00:26:59.970 I said, yeah, if you ask them to, they'll show 375 00:27:00.029 --> 00:27:03.029 themselves to you. But they don't want just everyone to 376 00:27:03.069 --> 00:27:03.410 see them. 377 00:27:06.730 --> 00:27:11.910 Connection. You're talking about whatever I can lean into and hug. 378 00:27:13.210 --> 00:27:20.380 That's a safety for me. When, you know, practitioners that 379 00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:23.279 have practiced and gone to India and done so much 380 00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:26.279 come up to me and go, you made me feel safe? 381 00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:28.319 Ha, ha, ha. 382 00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:32.440 My job is done. It's like the conservationism when I 383 00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:36.910 put around this property so we wouldn't destroy Mother Earth 384 00:27:37.650 --> 00:27:41.470 anymore and build on her. Let her breathe. 385 00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:45.940 I should add, this is one more reason that we 386 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.200 are doing this kind of work and talking about it, 387 00:27:48.329 --> 00:27:51.750 is because it builds the earth. We may not see 388 00:27:51.789 --> 00:27:53.349 that yet, but it is happening. 389 00:27:53.990 --> 00:27:58.190 Yes. And then the four-legged winged ones, plant kingdom, all 390 00:27:58.250 --> 00:28:02.069 those that creep and crawl and fly, come. And guess what? 391 00:28:02.609 --> 00:28:06.809 They chat with you. And they do prayer pose. Check 392 00:28:06.890 --> 00:28:10.630 out a chipmunk on twos, not fours. And he gets up. 393 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.880 And he says to the hummingbird, what's up? And you 394 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.140 get to see this because you give it time. 395 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:20.980 And you see it a different way. Okay, it's time 396 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.079 for us to go to break. So you're watching the 397 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.299 Power of Inspiration and Awakening show with Julia Griffin. And 398 00:28:27.339 --> 00:28:31.119 I have my wonderful guest, Karuna. We're talking about awakening. 399 00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:33.359 And when we come back, she'll tell us more about 400 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.140 her class, The Path to Awakening. And whether or not 401 00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:39.980
