1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Conversations on life, style, beauty, and relationships. It's The Velvet's 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: Edge podcast with Kelly Henderson. What's up you guys. It 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: is the fifth Wednesday of the month of March. We 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: have five Wednesdays this month, So because the month of 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: March is the month of reflection, I thought, what better 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: way to end the month than to reflect. We can 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: reflect on the podcast this month and the topics that 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: we talked about, the different guests that we had, and 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to just talk through some of 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: the tools that I've taken away because I love to 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: have a tangible tool. You know, I need an action step, 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: but I love to have a tangible tool that I 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: can take all the information that we talked about that 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: I learned that the guests brought to the table and 15 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: really apply them to my day to day life. So 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: here are a couple of things that I'm doing. I 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: did want to start. I looked at the definition of 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: reflection earlier today and it just means serious thought or consideration. 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: So to me, reflection is really important because reflection is 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: how we heal and whether or not you're talking about 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: it or not talking about it, or you're aware of it, 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: or not aware of it. All of us have things 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: that we need to heal from in our lives or 24 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: that we can heal from in our lives. Um if not, 25 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: if we're not taking the time to reflect, I do 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: think that we're just unconsciously moving through life. I know 27 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: there's been many periods in my life where I did 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: not want to stop. I just wanted to keep going 29 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: and keep moving through, keep powering through. And instead of 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: actually making different decisions or growing and evolving, I just 31 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: kept repeating the same patterns and the same mistakes. Was 32 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: chasing the next thing, the next high, the next fix, 33 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: whatever it was. But ultimately, if I reflect back on 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: that now, what I was actually looking for was to 35 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: feel less broken or to feel less pain, and just 36 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: searching for more peace and happiness. And of course, as 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: we know, as the story goes, none of that actually 38 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: really will bring it. It truly is something we have 39 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: to find internally, but that's never really the answer you 40 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: want in the moment. How However, I was told recently 41 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 1: something that I really loved about a healing journey, and 42 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: it really stuck with me. But healing isn't in an indictment. 43 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: It's not a punishment. In fact, healing is a journey 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: back to you, and in that healing is the only 45 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: real place of true peace. I'm gonna say that part 46 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: again because I kind of messed up. Healing is a 47 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: journey back to you, and in that healing is the 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: only real place of true peace. So in terms of 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: that healing journey, I was just thinking about the top 50 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: three things I've been reflecting on, and what I wrote 51 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: down in my journalist morning seemed to be three questions 52 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: that I really want to take with me, and maybe 53 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: this is something you guys could try at home as well. 54 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: But I wrote down on the on the page who 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: I was and who I have been, and I wrote 56 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: notes about that. Then I wrote down who I am currently, 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: and then the third thing was who I want to be. 58 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: So for me this month, when I was really reflecting 59 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: on who I was and who I have been, there's 60 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: obviously things that I would want to change in my life. 61 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: The last couple of years, there's some things that have 62 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: surfaced for me regarding relationships, and that can go for 63 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: my work relationships, my friendship dynamics, my dating relationships. It 64 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: all kind of hit the head all at the same 65 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: time and so all of the stuff in me that 66 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: has not been healed around those dynamics really came to surface. UM. Obviously, 67 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: when we're going through something traumatic or we're having trauma responses, 68 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: there's things we can look back when I say, yeah, 69 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: that wasn't my best or yeah I didn't bring what 70 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to in the table. There are yeah I 71 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: made decisions or was in relationships with people that that 72 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: just weren't no longer serving me. And so those are 73 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the things that I've really been reflecting on. And I 74 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: talked about that a lot, not on a podcast on 75 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: Velvet's Edge, but actually on a friend of mine's podcast 76 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: called Journals of a Love Addict. UM. I've talked pretty 77 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: openly about being on a recoverage Ernie in that realm. 78 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: And it's a really hard word because our two words phrase. 79 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: I guess love addiction is not really a word that 80 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: I resonate with. UM. But for any of you who 81 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: know about attachment, wounding, anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, I feel 82 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: like those are things that people are talking a lot 83 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: about these days. This is essentially that. So love addiction 84 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: can look like avoidance, it can look like anxious wounding. 85 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: All of those things from our childhood that we really 86 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: haven't healed can just really manifest themselves into our adult relationships. 87 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: And obviously, if you're taking something from your childhood into 88 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: an adult relationship, it's probably not going to be your 89 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: best version of yourself. So Jody and I talked through that. 90 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: We talked about why we don't even actually like the 91 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: words love, addiction, UM, but why there are words that 92 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: we use because it makes it easier to describe. Also 93 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: kind of talked through what my journey has looked like 94 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: and what really made me realize I needed to dive 95 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: a little bit deeper into this work UM, and why 96 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: I believe that we actually can change and that there 97 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: is hope. If you feel like you're in a place 98 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: of repeating the same patterns and relationships, if you see 99 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: it kind of crossing over into all areas of your 100 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: life and you know that you just are not operating 101 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: from your truest, highest self or from a place that 102 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: you even like UM, and you want to stop these patterns, 103 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: I do believe there's a lot of hopes. So she 104 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: and I talked through some ways you can actually make 105 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: changes in your life and change those old patterns and 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: really become the adult that you want to become. So 107 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: who I currently am, what does that look like for me? 108 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: Right now? I'm really looking at ways to just get 109 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: to know myself again. I am recently out of a 110 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: new old relationship and I'm really working on my own 111 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: relationship with myself. So whether that's working on self esteem, 112 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: working on a deeper dive, and getting to know this 113 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: new version of myself. Um. For me, one of the 114 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: biggest places that I really find answers to that is meditation. 115 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: And I know, I know, blah blah blah, meditation, breathwork. 116 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: People are so sick of me talking about it. Probably 117 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: I was so sick of hearing about it for so 118 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: many years, and it really wasn't something that I resonated with. 119 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: I didn't want to do it. I didn't like to 120 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: do it. I was the person that was like, yeah, 121 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: meditation is not for me. I'm just not good at it. 122 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: But I've really learned a lot since then, and I 123 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: don't think that that's actually true for anyone. It may 124 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: be uncomfortable, um, but just because you can't get your 125 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: brain to shut off, doesn't mean you're bad at meditation. 126 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: That was a story I used to tell myself. Actually, 127 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: that's what happens to all of us. It's learning how 128 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: to train your mind in a different way and really 129 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: get into your body. UM. I posted about this on 130 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: my Instagram today, but Eckhart Toll has one on Spotify. 131 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: Oddly enough, this is like one of Oprah's gurus. If 132 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: you guys know anything about Eckart or eck Hard, I 133 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: don't know how to say his name, y'all, but you 134 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: know who I'm talking about. UM. He has one called 135 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: Gateways to Acceptance, and that's how I've been starting one 136 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: morning every morning, and it's just this reminder of being 137 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: in the present and being in the now and knowing 138 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: that what's happening in life is just reality, and accepting 139 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: that reality, knowing that you can find peace no matter 140 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: what's going on, and just the breathing exercises through that 141 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: have been so, so so helpful to me. Another tool 142 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: that I use is called two way prayer. UM. I 143 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: don't really consider myself a religious person, but I am 144 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: very spiritual, and for me, it's about talking to a 145 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: higher power. So whatever your higher power is, if that's God, 146 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: if that is Buddha, if that's the universe, whatever, if 147 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: it's a tree in your front yard, whatever it is, 148 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: it's a direct communication. This, this exercise is a direct 149 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: communication with that higher power. So what I do is 150 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: I write down the question for the morning, What way 151 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: would you have me look at X, Y and Z 152 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: or what am I supposed to be learning here? Or anything? 153 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: It can be anything, questions about my job, my last relationship, 154 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: my future relationship, my friendships, my house. Whatever. Is really 155 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: like torturing me that day that I can't get out 156 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: of my mind. I write the question down. Then I 157 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: get really quiet and close my eyes and I just 158 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: start typing, and I swear to God, it is the 159 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: oddest experience. It's the oddest tool. I don't really understand 160 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: how it works other than it's of from a higher power. 161 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: But I always get the answers. It's like something in 162 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: me just starts typing and it's telling me the answer. 163 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: It's never what I think it was going to be. 164 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: It is never something that I'm really even consciously aware of, 165 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: and so I know it's coming from a different place. 166 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: But it is the most calming, clarifying tool um that 167 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: I have really come across lately, and it's really helping 168 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: me get in touch with who I currently am, in 169 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: the now, in the moment, in this day, who I am, 170 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: and helping me really develop those relationships with myself and 171 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: it helps me get out of my head. And if 172 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: you're anything like me, I'm really good when I'm trusting 173 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: my body and staying in my body. But when I 174 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: get in my mind, it's a really dangerous place, and 175 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: I just am such an overthinker and an over warrior, 176 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: and it just takes over and before I know it, 177 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: I've spent an hour thinking about something that doesn't even 178 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: affect what's happening right in front of me now. When 179 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: it comes to who I want to be, obviously, the 180 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: topic of manifestation really comes to place, comes to place. 181 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: What this is why solo podcasts or terrible oil? Whereas 182 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: Chip can't he interject something here to help me not 183 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: have to say every single word? Um anyway come to 184 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: mind is what I was trying to say. And manifesting 185 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: similar to um meditation, and that it's kind of like, yeah, 186 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: you either buy into it or you don't. I fully 187 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: buy into manifestation if for nothing else to me is 188 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: setting an intention with the universe. It's like putting energy 189 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: out there and really accepting what I want within myself, 190 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: because a lot of times I think we have shame 191 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: around the things we want, or we tell ourselves that 192 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: maybe something I want, but I'll never get it, and 193 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: so we don't speak it into existence. And while sometimes 194 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: I think that the universe gives us gifts and it's 195 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: completely shows up in a different way than we would 196 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: have ever even imagined or expected, I do believe that 197 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: if we put our heart longings out there, we will 198 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: get them back, or we will receive something that will 199 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: make those heart longings come true. So this could be 200 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: things like making a vision board and even putting silly 201 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: things like the house you want to buy or the 202 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: car you want to buy. Or it could be a 203 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: business you want to start, or it could be a 204 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: word of um, an embodiment that you want to feel 205 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: for yourself, the person you want to be, whatever it is. 206 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: I do think there's some sort of power in putting 207 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: it out there, and for me, since I'm such a 208 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: visual person, that means writing it down. I have notes 209 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: taped all around my house of words that mean things 210 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: to me right now, in words that I really want 211 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: to embody as a human tape to my mirror. I mean, 212 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: you can call these affirmations if you want, but it's 213 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: just ways that I remind myself of the person that 214 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: I want to be. Also have a vision board in 215 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: my office of just things that I really want to 216 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: come true in the next five years. I'm not a 217 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: big like in the next five years I want to be, 218 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: except for in this capacity because it really does allow 219 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: me to fully accept the dreams that I have. And 220 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: I think that once we can accept them and we 221 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: put them out into the universe, we really can make 222 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: this happen. In terms of podcast, not this month, but 223 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: last month, I talked to Sexual Empowerment UM expert asking Marie, 224 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: and she talked about something called sex magic, which ties 225 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: into manifestation, but it's really about using our sexual energy, 226 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: which is actually our core energy and our core power, 227 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: especially in women UM to manifest the things that we want. 228 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: So I'll let you listen to that podcast and she 229 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: can tell you a lot more about the details of 230 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: how to do that. You can also just google sex magic, 231 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: but listen to the podcast because Asty has a really 232 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: great take on it, and um, yeah, I think it's 233 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: a really cool experience and a new type of manifesting 234 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: if you're kind of like man to the manifesting idea. 235 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: But the biggest reflection of all, just to sum this 236 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: all up, the biggest reflection of all that I have 237 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: really taken away this month is that none of us 238 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: are perfect, and we're all here just having a human experience. 239 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: We're all human, And to me, that's the most beautiful 240 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: journey of acceptance and reflection, just simply being that, getting 241 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: to the place of just allowing ourselves to be human 242 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: and loving ourselves anyway, loving ourselves in the imperfection. Even 243 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: I have another meditation that talks about the allowing that 244 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: comes with accepting ourselves as fully human and knowing that 245 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: we're just allowed to be human. Like, isn't that the 246 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: biggest relief You are allowed? She says that over and 247 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: over in that meditation, And it is so comforting to 248 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: me to know that I'm enough, I'm human, I'm imperfect, 249 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: and I'm still enough just as I am, just being 250 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: allowed to be that and knowing that I'm still loved. 251 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: I hope this month of reflection has been a good 252 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: one for you guys.
