1
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Happy New Year. This week, we're sharing a many episode

2
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>from Deb exploring the connection between us all, and then

3
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll wrap up with a guided meditation on being the light.

4
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Hello, and welcome to another episode of wisdom from Deb.

5
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 2>If it's safe for you to do so, sit back,

6
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>take some long, slow, deep breaths, close your eyes, and

7
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>just relax into what I'm about to say. I hope

8
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>this episode speaks to you so in my practices. We've

9
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 2>recently passed the dawning of a new year. In ancient

10
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Celtic traditions, Sowin October thirty first is both the end

11
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>of the year and the beginning of a new one.

12
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 2>The last of the harvest festivals. Sowin ushers in a

13
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 2>time when we've completed preparations for the harsh winter ahead.

14
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>It's now time to slow down, to be still, to

15
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>gather by the fire, tell stories, make music, enjoy time

16
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>with family and friends. It's a time to create, to sew,

17
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>to knit, to string berries for the Yule tree, and

18
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 2>so much more. And now is also the time for

19
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>deep reflection. Who am I? What is my place in

20
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 2>the world? What do I believe? Where do I turn

21
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>for guidance? And perhaps most important, did I metaphorically harvest

22
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>what I intended to plant this year? And what will

23
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>I plant next spring that makes the world a better place?

24
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>So come with me as we explore two guide posts

25
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>that may help you answer some of these questions. The

26
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>first guide post is the Fool Key from to Row.

27
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>If you are looking for a metaphor for life's journey

28
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>and lessons, the Fool is your guide. One of the

29
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>things I love so deeply about to Row is that

30
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>it is so much more than a divination tool. There's

31
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>so much hidden in the keys in plain sight. The

32
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Fool takes us with him or her We really don't

33
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>know gender on an exploration of both the world around

34
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>us and the world within us. We've all been at

35
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 2>that place that time in our lives, like the Fool,

36
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 2>where we're about to step off of prefaces into the unknown,

37
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>and we're both terrified and elated. And the fool, although

38
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>he may not realize or understand it yet, has all

39
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>the tools he or she needs for the adventure already

40
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>stored in that wallet on the stick that is carried

41
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 2>on the shoulders. We too have tools that we need

42
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>as we travel through life, but sometimes we forget we

43
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>have them, or don't believe that they will serve us.

44
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Learning to trust our internal tools is one of our

45
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>lessons that we must learn along with the Fool. The

46
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>lessons come as they will, as they're needed over time.

47
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>In the background of the Fool key are snow capped

48
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>mountains that eventually begin to melt, becoming water that flows

49
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 2>through the major arcana keys to become the water. In

50
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 2>the background of the final key of the major arcana,

51
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>the world. The figure in that key dances on the water,

52
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>holding the wands of the Magician, turning the hangedman right

53
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>side up, and surrounded by a laurel wreath of victory

54
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 2>tied with the left scapes of eternity. The Fool is

55
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 2>connected to all the keys that guide the path right

56
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>up to the end, where the Fool dances with the

57
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>world and the journey spends once again. The symbols and

58
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 2>gifts that come to us from the archetypes into row

59
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>are too numerous to even mention. But they are us

60
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>and we are them, and it is such a wonderful

61
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 2>way to look at ourselves and the world around us.

62
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>And so what I've just said brings me to the

63
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 2>second guidepost that helps you think about your path in

64
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>the coming months. In the Lakota language, as in many

65
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>indigenous languages, there's no word for animal, but rather we

66
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 2>speak of nations and peoples. There's no hierarchy. All life

67
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 2>moves inside a sacred circle, so we don't speak of

68
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 2>animals but nations, for example, the buffalo nation, the rabbit nation,

69
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 2>the flounder nation, or peoples the antelope people, the rat people,

70
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 2>the blue jay people. One is not better or more

71
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 2>important or cooler than another. The mighty ant has a

72
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>place in the circle of life that is just as

73
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>important as the place is held by the mountain lion

74
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>or the whale. Human people have no more power or

75
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>no more rights than elephant people or the opossum people

76
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 2>are the octopus people. When we take humans out of

77
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>the center of the circle, we see connection and oneness

78
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>through a different lens. But the notion of oneness is

79
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 2>bigger than connection among two legged, four legged, winged, crawling,

80
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 2>and swimming people. Hear those words again, two legged, four legged, winged, crawling,

81
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>swimming people. It feels different when we describe our brothers

82
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and sisters this way, doesn't it. The notion of oneness

83
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 2>also is about connecting to the standing and stone and

84
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>water people, the earth, the sea, and the sky. People

85
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 2>speak of the oak people, the azalea nation, the rose

86
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>quartz nation, the choral people, the star nations. Lakota sentence

87
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>for which I'm describing you've heard me say it before

88
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:19.079
<v Speaker 2>is matakiasin. Roughly translated, it means all my relations are

89
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>We are all related? Do you know? I bet you do.

90
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>That science is diving deeply into the notion that there

91
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>really is only one tree and that its roots connect

92
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 2>everything that the fungi nation communicates all around the world

93
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 2>with the energy of just one mushroom. And by the way,

94
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 2>that is a very simplistic description of a very complex

95
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 2>scientific process the fascinating to read about. So stay with

96
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>me here because the idea of matakiasi is deeply related

97
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 2>back to science, to quantum physics and scienceetix. Which that

98
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 2>lends me then to a social science term called systems theory.

99
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.839
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I mean. Quantum physicists have named that space

100
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 2>in an atom between protons, electrons, and neutrons as quarks,

101
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>and scientists know that within a quark is something else,

102
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>something even smaller, But we don't yet have the equipment

103
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.759
<v Speaker 2>to learn what it is. There is a belief that

104
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 2>within a quark lies infinity at its smallest and that

105
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>that small, small, small infinity never stops. Conversely, thanks to

106
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 2>the work of the James Webb telescope, we're learning that

107
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>there is a bigger, larger, bigger out there out there.

108
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>The point is this everything is connected, from the infinitely

109
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 2>smallness within a quark to the infinitely largeness in the

110
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 2>universe beyond universe. Everything is energy, and the only thing

111
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 2>that makes us different from each other is the rate

112
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>at which we vibrate. That's why there's really no mereor

113
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 2>you in this conversation today. That's a whole other conversation perhaps,

114
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 2>But bear with me here to think about the idea

115
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>that we're all just the same energy vibrating at our

116
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>unique rates. We are all the same energy vibrating at

117
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 2>different rates. Everything is oneness, and in the social sciences

118
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 2>we call that oneness. Systems theory the many definitions of

119
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 2>what a system is, but here's the one that I

120
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>use most often. A system is a dynamic order of

121
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 2>parts and processes standing in mutual interaction, dynamic, always moving, changing,

122
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>becoming order. There is orderleness in chaos. Systems have parts,

123
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 2>parts that are tangible, and processes which are not, but

124
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>all of these components work together to make a whole.

125
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 2>The simplest example, of course, I can give you your

126
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 2>You are a system. You are always dynamic, always orderly,

127
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>and all the parts and processes work together. You as

128
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 2>a system carry within you subsystems. Think circulatory, digestive, reproductive systems.

129
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 2>For example. All those parts and processes are orderly, all

130
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>are dynamic, and all are standing in mutual interaction. And

131
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>each of us is, also, in addition to being a

132
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 2>system in and of it, ourselves, a subsystem of larger systems,

133
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:36.279
<v Speaker 2>our families, our friends, this podcast, family, our city, country,

134
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 2>the world. What I've just described to you is a

135
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.399
<v Speaker 2>system working in perfect and divine order, a system functioning

136
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>in a homeostatic balanced state. Oh but would that, Albays

137
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.759
<v Speaker 2>be so? We know that that isn't true in today's world.

138
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>We know that we, as a system, and the systems

139
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>around us are sometimes broken in pain, in dire circu ccumstances,

140
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:06.559
<v Speaker 2>in violence, in war, and hunger, in homelessness, on and on.

141
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 2>The list can go of what a system out of

142
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>balance in an entropic state looks like we know that

143
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>entropy leads to more and more randomness and chaos. What

144
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:24.039
<v Speaker 2>we have lost as we spiral more deeply into entropy

145
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>in whatever way and whatever circumstance. Whatever we've lost is connection,

146
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 2>And now we're back to mataki uasi. Ironically, I think

147
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 2>it's easier for many of us to conceptualize our connectedness

148
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to our four legged or standing brothers and sisters than

149
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>our connectedness to some of our two legged brothers and sisters.

150
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>We can see ourselves vibrating with giraffes and cedar trees,

151
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>but not sometimes with people whose beliefs are different from ours.

152
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.279
<v Speaker 2>We sometimes put two leggeds in boxes and leave them

153
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 2>there forever. So my question to all of us is,

154
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 2>how do I live matakiazi? How do I live connectedness?

155
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I can intellectualize the concept forever, but can I feel

156
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>it deeply? And how do I actually live it on

157
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>a daily basis? I confess I don't always. I was

158
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.799
<v Speaker 2>taught as a child to look at our differences. Our

159
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>uniqueness is from others. I've been steeped most of my

160
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 2>life in that ancient notion of quote dominion. Over that

161
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>I learned about when I read the Garden of Eden's

162
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 2>story as a child, a feeling that gives us some

163
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of a sense of power. I don't always live,

164
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 2>MATAKIASI when I'm not conscious of or responsible about who

165
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.879
<v Speaker 2>or what I eat. I'm sure you have examples in

166
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 2>your life that you're thinking about as I'm talking. So

167
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 2>what can we do on an every day basis? Here

168
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.159
<v Speaker 2>are some ways I try and that feel right to me.

169
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.919
<v Speaker 2>I try not to use them and us language. There

170
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 2>is no other, There is just us. I offer gratitude

171
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to the natural world around me, the trees, the birds,

172
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>the ants, everyone. I say thank you when electricity and

173
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 2>electronics work. I send up prayers for those in pain

174
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>and suffering. I ask to become more aware of my

175
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>connection to all that is, and I am always aware

176
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 2>that I could do more. As I mentioned at the

177
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>beginning of this episode, now is a great time to

178
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>ponder who you are, how you live, and how connection

179
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 2>speaks in your life. I invite you to sit with

180
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>these ideas and think about connectedness and how you experience

181
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>it in your life, and how you might experience more.

182
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>And as a reminder, here's a shameless reminder. My new

183
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.440
<v Speaker 2>book Crafting the Wheel of the Year, co authored with

184
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Claire Gelder, is available at all bookstores and retail outlets.

185
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 2>If you'd like to do more deeply into how I

186
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>see the spinning of the seasons and our place in them,

187
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.919
<v Speaker 2>you will enjoy this book. Thank you so much for

188
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>listening to this episode of wisdom from Dan.

189
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Thank you dev that was great. Now we're going to

190
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 1>take a very quick break and when we come back,

191
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll share our guided meditation. Now we're going to wrap

192
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>up with a Be the Light meditation I shared on

193
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the show almost six years ago that centers on filling yourself, others,

194
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 1>and our whole world with light. Make sure you can

195
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 1>listen when you're able to lie down and have a

196
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.559
<v Speaker 1>peaceful moment to yourself. I hope you enjoy it. Wishing

197
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 1>you all a happy, healthy, magical new Year. Let's take

198
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a moment to focus our hearts on calling our angel

199
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Raphael to help bring healing to this planet. We ask

200
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.679
<v Speaker 1>ark Angel Michael to defend us against illness, us, fear,

201
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and anxiety. We call on our angel Gabriel to help

202
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:09.279
<v Speaker 1>us communicate peace, health and hope. We ask Archangel Uriel

203
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>to clear the path before us so that we may

204
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 1>walk together seeking to help one another. Share the light,

205
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Embrace the light and be the light for this meditation.

206
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>You can light a candle or hold a crystal. Make

207
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.679
<v Speaker 1>sure you are in a place where you won't be disturbed.

208
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Silence your phone, and give yourself permission to create a

209
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 1>moment of sacred space in your busy life. When you're ready,

210
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:39.759
<v Speaker 1>close your eyes, take a deep breath. Feel the tension

211
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:44.679
<v Speaker 1>melting away from your neck, your shoulders, and your back.

212
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Visualize yourself breathing in white light. Inhale the white light deeply,

213
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 1>feeling your belly expand and fill with light. Allow the

214
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 1>light to pour through your head, neck, and shoulders. Feel

215
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.919
<v Speaker 1>its calming, healing sensation spilling into your arms, crooks of

216
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 1>your elbows, your wrist, flooding into each of your ten fingers.

217
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>With each exhale, you see yourself releasing all this fatigue

218
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 1>and old, stagnant energy. With each outtake of breath. Inhale

219
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the white light again, pulling it into your torso, hips

220
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and legs, releasing any old tensions. As you let go

221
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>of all it is no longer serving. You feel the

222
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 1>white light soaking into your muscles, tissues, cells, bones, filling

223
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>you with a sense of total peace and relaxation. Inhale

224
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>deeply again, sending the white light into your ankles, feet,

225
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 1>and toes. Feel the light extending through you and going down, down, down,

226
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 1>into the Earth's rich soil, anchoring you and her protective embrace.

227
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Inhale the light once again. See a tube of white

228
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:39.039
<v Speaker 1>light coming down from the heavens, going through you and

229
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:43.559
<v Speaker 1>down to the Earth's crust, so that you're anchored in

230
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the light and connected to the heavens above. Visualize an

231
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>angel in front of you. See this angel glowing with

232
00:16:54.799 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful bright light. See yourself stepping into the warm

233
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:05.400
<v Speaker 1>glow of this light. Think of anything in your life

234
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:08.559
<v Speaker 1>that is weighing you down and hand it to the angel.

235
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Give any bills, relationship, health, job, or school worries to

236
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 1>this angel. Just let it all go, knowing and trusting

237
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.319
<v Speaker 1>that your team of helpers will take this from you

238
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:36.319
<v Speaker 1>and return perfect peace to your energy. Feel the lighter

239
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 1>sensation that flows through you as you release and let

240
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>this go. Continue to breathe deeply, allowing your belly to

241
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>fill and expand as your muscles and your energy continue

242
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to relax and let go. Watch as the angel nods

243
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.839
<v Speaker 1>to you and flies up to the heavens to take

244
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:17.119
<v Speaker 1>your troubles and worries away for you. Now you see

245
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.359
<v Speaker 1>another angel standing in front of you. This angel is

246
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 1>holding a ball of light. As you watch, the light

247
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.839
<v Speaker 1>grows brighter and brighter until it's bigger than both of you.

248
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>The angel motions for you to step into this light.

249
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 1>As you move into the light, you feel flooded with

250
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>sensations of love and peace. You feel whole accepted in

251
00:18:52.720 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>love for who you are. Stay in this peaceful space

252
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.440
<v Speaker 1>for a moment, allowing the light to work through you.

253
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Feel the gentle sensation of the light burning away from

254
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:25.279
<v Speaker 1>your energy, anything that is no longer serving you. The

255
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.559
<v Speaker 1>light grows brighter and bigger and to gather you and

256
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:34.440
<v Speaker 1>your angel. Watch as the light expands and grows and

257
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:39.160
<v Speaker 1>reaches out to everyone listening now, embracing us all in

258
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 1>a perfect circle of light and healing. Take a moment

259
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to really feel this light going through you and expanding

260
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 1>out to everyone listening right now and circling each and

261
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 1>every one us on a continuing circle of light, healing, hease,

262
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and love. The light continues to grow and expand until

263
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you see it surrounding the entire Earth. See the light

264
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.559
<v Speaker 1>flooding the oceans of the world, topping over the mountains

265
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 1>on each continent, skating over and through the lakes and rivers,

266
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:43.039
<v Speaker 1>traveling down the roads and pathways. Watch as the light

267
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>surrounds and fills each and every building and home on

268
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:57.519
<v Speaker 1>our beautiful planet. See it filling up the forest, the deserts,

269
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and plains with its lovely, peaceful, and healing light. Visualize

270
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the light coursing through the insects, animals, and birds throughout

271
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the world as it passes over woods, farms, and dives

272
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 1>deep into the Earth's soil. See the light going into

273
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 1>all the seeds that are being planted in the earth

274
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.519
<v Speaker 1>right now. See the light going into all the seeds

275
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of thought that we're all putting out into the world. Now,

276
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 1>send the light into each and every human walking this planet.

277
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Visualize a ribbon of light connecting from your angel's heart

278
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>to yours and moving out to every other person on

279
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.519
<v Speaker 1>our planet as it wraps and connects each of us

280
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:11.480
<v Speaker 1>in its loving light. Take a moment to focus on

281
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>all the love you hold within your beautiful soul. Send

282
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.920
<v Speaker 1>this love out to the world, knowing that just like

283
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 1>an echo, this gift of love will return to you.

284
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Visualize peace and perfect communication flowing through these ribbons of

285
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>light connecting the world, and an energetic vibration of healing

286
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>and renewal. Think of the word piece and what it

287
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.799
<v Speaker 1>means to you, and send this out to the world.

288
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Stay a moment in this space of total connection as

289
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you feel the light flowing through you and out from

290
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 1>you to every living being on this planet. When you

291
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 1>feel ready, take another deep breath, bringing your focus and

292
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:51.200
<v Speaker 1>attention back to your room. Stretch your arms and legs,

293
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:58.799
<v Speaker 1>and flutter your eyes open as you come back into

294
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:02.079
<v Speaker 1>your present awareness. Know that you can take this feeling

295
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:05.160
<v Speaker 1>of peace and universal love with you throughout the day

296
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:09.319
<v Speaker 1>because you are the light and we all hold this

297
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 1>light within us. Thank you so much for listening be

298
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:22.960
