15
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,680

Speaker 1: Too excited to dive into this show. And big love

21
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: to everyone UM that sent messages about recent episode where

22
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: I shared my story about my experience with the whales.

23
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: I got a lot, a lot, a lot of messages

24
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: about that, and it was so beautiful to read, UM,

25
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: how many people got out of that story exactly what

26
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: I got out of that experience, you know, just an

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: awe for nature and an awe for God and an

28
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: expansion of trust and faith that things are operating in

29
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: divine time, in divine flow and we'll manifest. So again,

30
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: thank you so much for that. I love, I really

31
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: love hearing from you what is resonating the most and

32
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: exactly where it's landing, what it's invoking. So appreciate everyone

33
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: that shares with me. Okay, so this episode, I'd like

34
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: to share uh, some deep peace that I recently came

35
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: into UM and a lot of joy. I want to

36
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: share with everyone the importance of finding sacred land for yourself.

37
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: And what do I mean by sacred land? Well, very excitedly,

38
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: I think we are all in this moment in time

39
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: where we're traveling more than we probably ever have, especially

40
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: if you're someone who is non whiten this country. I

41
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: think vacation has become a concept that we all now

42
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: have surrendered to and realize how much we really need it,

43
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: how much we enjoy it. UM. I think on a

44
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: very mainstream level, over the last few years, we've all

45
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: begun to collectively expand in the desire and the need,

46
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the longing for personal travel, even if not in a

47
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: vacation context, especially in the last few years with the

48
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: pandemic and realizing that we can accomplish work in other places.

49
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I think many of us have either been traveling, probably

50
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: more than anyone has over this last ten years, or

51
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: are intrigued by it and have an intention to in

52
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: a desire to have bigger experiences than maybe the elders

53
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: in our lives might have had UM when they were

54
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: our age. You know, there have been a lot of

55
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: new possibilities and with that, and with Instagram and all

56
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: the ways that we've been both gifted and maybe there's

57
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: some shadow aspect to it too, but been gifted with

58
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: the chance to see so many different ways of being

59
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: and living. UM. We've all been expanded by the things

60
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: we've been able to see on the Internet in the

61
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: last ten years. We've all been expanded by the ways

62
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: we've been able to share with one another things that

63
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: we find beautiful and that are important or meaningful. And

64
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: so with that thought, you know, I'm someone that really

65
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: believes in taking time out to intentionally travel to sacred places.

66
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: And I mean that in two ways. The first way

67
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: that I mean that is very much there are ancient

68
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: sacred locations all over planet Earth, um, from so many

69
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: different civilizations, from so many different moments in human history

70
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: that we're happening at very very different times UM. And

71
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm somebody that, especially as a meditator, is someone that

72
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: really really loves their advanced practice of meditation. You know,

73
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: I I believe in energy, and I believe in the

74
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: ways that we're able to connect with the energy that

75
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: is available in certain areas. And I'm a big believer

76
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: that you know, we have real opportunities to expand our

77
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: consciousness when we travel, and we can expand it in

78
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: a few ways. We can expand our consciousness by one

79
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: just the law of exposure, you know, having exposure to

80
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: see new things that stretch us, UM, that thrust us forward,

81
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: that expand our awareness. And UM, I believe that energetically

82
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: we can get really incredible downloads when we meditate UM

83
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: very intentionally in beautiful places and in sacred places, and

84
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: it opens us up to having breakthrough thoughts and having

85
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: so many deeper awarenesses about things happening in our lives

86
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: and also things that should be happening for our creativity

87
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: and the work that we do in the world. So

88
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: that's one lens of it, UM. But also sacred land,

89
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: not just in terms of actual uh ancient energetic sites

90
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: that are all over from you know, beautiful churches or

91
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you go to Jerusalem and you walk

92
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: on the streets, that would be an example of sacred land.

93
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: You know, you go to Stonehenge, that's an example of

94
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: state sacred land. You go to Egypt, sacred land. UM,

95
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: so many places around the world where there was a

96
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: lot of concentrated energy. So that's one lens of it.

97
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: The other lens of it that I'm speaking to is

98
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: our individual sacred land. You know, we, through our experiences

99
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: and through our awareness of those experiences, UM, there are

100
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: certain areas where we might find ourselves having the opportunity

101
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: to become more of ourselves and we don't quite know why,

102
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know why. Wow, every time I

103
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: go there that's the place that I can really you know, relax, restore, nourish,

104
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: or that's the place where I'm able to really dive

105
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: into my thoughts, or that's the place where I just

106
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: feel the most myself, you know. I think there there's

107
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: quite a few people listening right now that have had

108
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: those experiences or have them in multiple places. You just

109
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: come alive more and you don't quite know why, but

110
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: it's almost as if that area speaks to your soul.

111
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: It whispers to your soul in new ways. So those

112
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: are the places that I like to think of as

113
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: our very personal sacred land. I actually have a sign

114
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: up at my house, um that I had made online

115
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: and it just says sacred land. And I have it

116
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: over my little outdoor fireplace area sacred land because my

117
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: home and the love that I've poured into it, and

118
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: the love that my family brings to it, and the

119
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: work we've done on ourselves there, Um, it's become very

120
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: very sacred land. So it's okay to call that out.

121
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and call that out. And if you

122
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: get a chance, if you even want to pause the

123
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: episode here just for a moment, pull out the notes

124
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: on your phone, or grab a journal if you have

125
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: one close, then write down the first few places that

126
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: may be coming to mind as I say that, UM.

127
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: And if you're not able to write right now, please

128
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: don't force it, especially if you're driving. Eyes open, take

129
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: a deep breath here, mm hmm. What places come to mind?

130
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: Just notice them and acknowledge them, UM, and just commit

131
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: them to be planted in your awareness to explore a

132
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: little bit later. So our personal sacred lands. Now, I

133
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: want to kind of create a few little roots and

134
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: stems that will come off of this piece. So in

135
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: our personal sacred land, there are a few tools where

136
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: if you happen to be wondering, or if maybe you

137
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: just haven't had the opportunity to travel, you know, really extensively,

138
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: yet you can be very intentional about where you want

139
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: to travel. And so one of the first experiences I

140
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: want to share with you is a very beautiful system

141
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: of astrology called astrological topography or astrology topography. And what

142
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: that is is it's your birth chart. For those that

143
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: are familiar with astrology, UM, and those that are not,

144
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: to have a few previous episodes that you could dive into. UM,

145
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: it's your personal birth birth chart. But also mapped really

146
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: with Earth's chart, Earth's birth chart, and so what you

147
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: see when you have an astrologer that can read that

148
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: for you, you're able to see where some of your

149
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: important lines in your chart also line up with the

150
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: planetary lines um that are surrounding Earth. And so it's

151
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: a really beautiful experience. And I'll share a story about mine.

152
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: I worked with this really awesome astrologer named Brian Um,

153
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: who have this system of finding your personal places of power.

154
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: And so something about me is that I have always

155
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: always felt really deeply anchored to a few places, even

156
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: without understanding why, not even realizing that it might have

157
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: been a place that made me come alive more. But

158
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: it was just like almost as if I felt very

159
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: loyal to these places, or I just felt like these

160
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: places where my soul mate. And so two particular places

161
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: fit that bill for me. There's a lot of places

162
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: that I would describe as sacred land, which I'll get

163
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: to a little bit later in this episode. But my

164
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: personal places areas that felt like my soulmates, like I

165
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: literally longed to spend an extensive amount of time in

166
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: these places Um are Los Angeles and the Baja of Mexico,

167
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: so more towards Cabo San Lucas, um really the entire

168
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: Baja Peninsula. And so that's something I've I've known my

169
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: feeling about l A my whole life, when I was

170
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: a little girl, and I just want to share for

171
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: those um who may be listening. The way people who

172
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: are from l A feel about l A is very

173
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: different than the way UM TV movies are popular culture

174
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: portrays l A. People from l A don't necessarily look

175
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: at l A. It's like, oh, l A, you know, Hollywood. Um,

176
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: it's just our home. It's where we're from, and it's

177
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: a place that has beautiful weather and we work here

178
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: where with our families there. You know, you're just living

179
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: life as everyone in the places that they live does.

180
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: And so when I connect to l A, there can

181
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: be like a certain amount of stereotypes that I think

182
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: people get of it, um, but it's just for me.

183
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: I've found it from my personal life to be really

184
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: special to grow up with southern California sunshine in this

185
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: way and just the melting pot of experiences like Los

186
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: Angeles is so incredibly diverse, and it's like this kind

187
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: of um like living merging of timelines. Like if you

188
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: drive through certain parts of l A, like you see

189
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: buildings and homes and businesses from so many different times,

190
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, going back into like the mid eighteen hundreds,

191
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: and it's just so interesting to me. Um, you see

192
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: all the influence. You know, some buildings are art decos,

193
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: some buildings are you know, kind of those like mega malls,

194
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: and you know, some buildings are like incredible architecture from

195
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: um the early nineteen hundreds and that stuff that I

196
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: personally really really love. My mind is always investigating and

197
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: so l A is a feast to me. There's always

198
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: something to see, to be um considering, thinking about witnessing,

199
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: and I love it. That's where I'm from. I feel

200
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: good here. And so when I, at different points in

201
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: my life moved to other places, I always wondered why

202
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: I felt such a longing. You know, It's like, is

203
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: it because I'm missing the people in my life? Is

204
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: it because this? That? And I could never quite put

205
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: my finger were on it. Um. I had the chance

206
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: to live in some really amazing cities like New York Manhattan.

207
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: I lived in Houston, Texas for some time, and both

208
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: of those cities were really amazing. I had wonderful experiences

209
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: and UM, the food was amazing and you know, all

210
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: the things. And for whatever reason, when I lived in

211
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: both places, no matter how successful I was, no matter

212
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: how many beautiful friendships I had, I ached to be

213
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: back in l A. So that's one part. And another

214
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: area I realized that about was Cabo San Lucas. And

215
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: I've been going to Cabo for I don't know, math

216
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: somewhere in between ten and twelve years, and I'll never

217
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: forget the very first time that I went, I just knew.

218
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: I said, You're going to live here one day. This

219
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: place is important for you. And UM. Now I do

220
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: spilit my time. I live in both UM the Baja

221
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: and so Los Angeles, and in that experience, I've just

222
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: found that I have never felt more nourished, more live,

223
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: more deeply deeply connected. You know, when I get to

224
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: do a lot of the work that I do and

225
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: UM host private retreats and teach meditation in Mexico and

226
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: the Baja. I can't even describe to you the feeling

227
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: that it had that I have there. It's it's literally

228
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: like I am my highest best self and I'm able

229
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: to teach at the highest level possible for me and

230
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: my personal abilities when I'm there, and I just feel

231
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: so connected to God. It's something about the way that

232
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: desert meets ocean. It just moves me. UM. And I

233
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: feel that way about l A and all the contrasts

234
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: of where I live here in Los Angeles. You know,

235
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a walking conflict. Everywhere you look, there are

236
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: such extremes UM, just like massive extreme wealth, massive extreme poverty, UM, mountains, capitalists,

237
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: It's just like it's it's mind blowing how many things

238
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: are happening at one time. And I think something about

239
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: that is really intriguing to my brain and my spirit

240
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: to always be observing and witnessing that. UM. So both

241
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: of those places I knew deep in my soul were

242
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: my places UM. And then I have this session with

243
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: Brian Um that astro topography, and when he mapped both

244
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: of the charts, my soul was right the whole time. UM. Energetically,

245
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: where my ley lines are the two most UM beautiful

246
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: places I could ever be, the two places that are astrologically,

247
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: spiritually the most nourishing for my spirit. Yah on his

248
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: UM on his reading, We're exactly where I live in

249
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and also the Baja where I work, and

250
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: so it felt like beautiful confirmation. So I don't have

251
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: recommendations to share of who can do this reading for

252
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: you depending on where you are. I don't like UM

253
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: to necessarily offer such personalized recommendations UM because just because

254
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: I had a great experience, I don't know the inner

255
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: workings of what may be meaningful for other people UM

256
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: or even you know the totality of who the people

257
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: are that do these different UM sacred works. But I

258
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: do recommend that you consider googling U astrology topography and

259
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: just read about it a little bit. See how that

260
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: makes you feel. There's a couple of sites online that

261
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I've seen UM where you can kind of do it

262
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: for yourself for free. UM or you can, I'm sure

263
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: find someone that that offers that work. But just put

264
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: that on your radar, plant it in your mind's eye,

265
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: even if you don't do it today, but you know,

266
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty years from now you remember and you want to

267
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: check it out. It could be really interesting and if

268
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: you have it started a lot of travel yet, it

269
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: could be really beautiful to be intentional, you know, depending

270
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: on where those areas are showing up for you, this

271
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: may be the opportunity to really plan that trip to

272
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: have your own personal eat, prey, love and have an

273
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: experience where you let yourself be transformed and expand your awareness.

274
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to offer that it might it

275
00:18:42,440 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: might feel really good. So that's an aspect of UM

276
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: connecting to ways to find your personal sacred land as well.

277
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: So as you're thinking of those places, places you go

278
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: that make you come alive or after an astro topography,

279
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: places that you know make you come a live, creating

280
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: some intention around really bringing what is invoked in you

281
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: in those spaces into your actual daily life. UM. And

282
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: that could look like a few ways, like maybe when

283
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: you're on those vacations or you're taking those trips, it's

284
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: finding intentional pieces that you keep in your home and

285
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: not necessarily the touristy pieces that have like the name

286
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: of the place on it, but that could be cool too,

287
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: depending on your style. UM. But it could also just

288
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: be something that you remember you got there. It could

289
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: be a mug, it could be a plate, It could

290
00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: be a piece of cloth or fabric, candle, as seashell, um,

291
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: whatever resonates with your unique spirit and really intentionally placing

292
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: it in your home. So for me, when I'm in

293
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: l A, I have this little area in my meditation

294
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: space where I really like to invoke Cabo and so

295
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: I have photo that I love of the Sea of

296
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Cortez there and then I just have some candles around it,

297
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: some crystals. But it feels really nourishing, um to kind

298
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: of transport myself there. And another another way to do

299
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: this could be to plan some intentional trips. You know,

300
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: if you know, you really recharge and become more of

301
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: yourself someplace and you have the opportunities and and some

302
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: of the financial freedom to do that. In this moment,

303
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: maybe it's saying, you know, once a year, that's where

304
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: I go. Once every five years, that's where I go. Um.

305
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: There's something really special about letting yourself evolve over time

306
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: in places that are meaningful for you. You know, you

307
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: kind of get to track your growth in those places

308
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: as well. It's like you have a few different timelines

309
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: that you're living in and it can be beautiful. I'm

310
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: really enjoying that in this moment of my life. Um.

311
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: And there are other places that I kind of have

312
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: those relationships with. So another area that I have that

313
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: relationship with and this is the story that I wanted

314
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: to share more nature. Another sacred place for me in

315
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: the USA, UM particularly is Sedona, Arizona. Wow. Sedona many

316
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: know and for those that don't, Sedona is an It's

317
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: it's known and celebrated as an incredibly spiritual place. Um.

318
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: There is such an energy in Sedona that for me,

319
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: the way it's physically felt for me in my body,

320
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: it's almost like I'm I'm sitting in an ultra sonic machine.

321
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: You know those machines that they clean your jewelry in.

322
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: It's like you see this really fast kind of vibration

323
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: in the water and it just shakes the dirt loose,

324
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: and then your jewelry becomes cleaner and you can ever

325
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: imagine it. Um, That's how I feel when I'm there,

326
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I have this like constant vibrational

327
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: frequency happening. Uh. And when I've talked to other people

328
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: that have gone or those that you know, story you'll

329
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: here when you go to Sedona quite a bit is

330
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: everyone is like, yeah, I moved here ten years ago,

331
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: moved here twenty years ago, twelve years ago, I was

332
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: living here. I visited here and never went home. I've

333
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: literally heard that from at least a hundred people UM

334
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: that I've met in Sedona. So there's something to that. UM.

335
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: And the red rocks, my god, it's much grounding energy.

336
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: One the color you really come alive with the burnt

337
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: deep reddish orange and reddish browns, very grounding colors. You're

338
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: connected to the earth. There's a lot of ancient energy there,

339
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: a lot of indigenous people roaming that land and use

340
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: that land as a sacred container. So many vortexas UM,

341
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: you're randomly fine cave dwellings there when you're going on

342
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: hikes or you'll see that, UM, there were dwellings there,

343
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, like places where people live. Do you see

344
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: these carvings, these drawings, and it's incredible, it's mind blowing,

345
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: it's humbling. Um. You see the stars like you could

346
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: never imagine their places like Sedona, Santa fe Um. What

347
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: you can get out of the sky is so profound,

348
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: it's so I mean, there's no light pollution, you know,

349
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: you just look up, there's no smog. You just look

350
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: up and you see thousands of stars lit up. You

351
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: see shooting stars. While I was out there, there was

352
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: actually a comment um that was moving through the air

353
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: it's just like wow wow, and you get to in

354
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: bed with nature. And so Sedona my very first time

355
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: going to Sedona. I actually went on a Choper retreat

356
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: and I want to say this was maybe maybe eight

357
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: years ago, um, and they had this retreat that no

358
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: longer exists, but it was called Summoning the Sacred, and

359
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: Caroline Mice spoke at the retreat. DEPOC spoke at the retreat,

360
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,239
Speaker 1: and um, Jeane Houston spoke at the retreat. And if

361
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with some of those names, please take

362
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: a second and look it up. Um, especially if you're

363
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: familiar with Joseph Camp was the Hero's Journey. Jean Houston

364
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: has a book called The Heroine's Journey, and she really

365
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: speaks to goddesses and she speaks to the invocation of

366
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: the sacred, divine, feminine and beautiful work, beautiful, beautiful teachers.

367
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: So I went for that event and it was my

368
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: first time and in Sedona. Um. Okay, wait, so what

369
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: you here with that? It might have been ten years ago,

370
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: It was some time ago, but it was my first

371
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: trip to Sedona. And I went for that really beautiful

372
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: course retreat, that teaching retreat, and the second I got there.

373
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean I couldn't sleep for days. I was literally

374
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: just a buzz but I wasn't tired. Um. It just

375
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: shifted things in me, and I ended up that after

376
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: that visit in that very first year, I probably went

377
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: to Sedona six more times in that one year, UM,

378
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: and I deep into my meditation practice there. I hiked,

379
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: I visited the vortexas hot air balloons, UM wrote, read, lived, healed. Uh.

380
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: It was really profound for me. And so that's a

381
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: place Sedona that I consider sacred land for myself, and

382
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: so I make it a point for a long time.

383
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I made it a point to get there at least

384
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: once a year, and I hadn't been in a few

385
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: years and a couple of weeks ago. Really surprisedly I

386
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: had to. I tried to clear some time in my

387
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: schedule because I had been traveling so much, and so

388
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: I kind of wiped my schedule for about a week

389
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: so I could catch up on some things. And one

390
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: of my personal heroes called me out of the blue,

391
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: UM and said, hey, I, UM, something has come up

392
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: for me. I have an emergency. But I'm supposed to

393
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: teach this retreat in about two days in Sedona. Um,

394
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: could you please cover it for me? You know, which

395
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: you consider going and teaching in my place. So, first

396
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: of all, even though I cleared my week, you know,

397
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: I was noticing the whispers of God, and I said, well,

398
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: this is my hero, one of you know, one of

399
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: the people I admire. That's a sentence, but someone I admire,

400
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: someone whose work deeply, deeply moved me. So it's someone

401
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: that I admire who is asking this of me. I

402
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: would love to do this for them. And it's in

403
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: my favorite place, one of my favorite places. And I

404
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: had just happened to be literally dreaming about Sedona for

405
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Um, Sedona had just come so deep

406
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: in my awareness, and I kept thinking about it, and

407
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: I was going through my photo albums looking at pictures

408
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: of my first visit there, and so I remember saying

409
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: to myself, God, you gotta make it back to Sedona.

410
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: You gotta make it back to Sedona. When are you

411
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: going to get there? And then I had looked at

412
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: my calendar and I was like, you are booked the

413
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: four Like there is no free space for just kind

414
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: of a random trip like that. So I sighed and

415
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: I was just like, Okay, well set your intention for

416
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: next year. And so when she called and she asked that,

417
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: and she said where it was, and then she said

418
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: it was actually at my favorite favorite favorite resort and

419
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: Vortex in Sedona Enchantment Resort. And me almost spa um

420
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: two places that I went repeatedly on my journey in

421
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: Sedona to heal places where I was so moved. I said, Okay,

422
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: this is God. So I said, yes, Um, packed my

423
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: bag and then I caught a flight to Sedona and

424
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: I ended up teaching there for about a week. And

425
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: I just had this beautiful opportunity to deepen my practice

426
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: and to also say thank you to this sacred space.

427
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: You know, when I think about what it actually um,

428
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity that was in front of me to be there,

429
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: it felt like a very much a bookend experience, you know, UM,

430
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: a moment to really reflect significantly on the ways that

431
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: I have transformed and loved my life over the last decade.

432
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: And I took spikes, I meditated. I taught a really

433
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: wonderful group of about forty women, and we just had

434
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: a phenomenal time. We studied the divine feminine, we meditated,

435
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: We romanced our lives a little bit we hiked and

436
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: it was gorgeous. It's really beautiful energy wor done. Um

437
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: me almost spa is just phenomenal. And one of my

438
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: girlfriends even flew in, one of my very very close

439
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: friends who lives in Atlanta. We don't get a chance

440
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: to see each other that often, but it's really important

441
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: to both of us that we make the time. And

442
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: so she happened to hit me and she's like, where

443
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: are you What are you doing? I was like, I'm

444
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: in Sodona. Come for a day. And she had the

445
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: freedom in her schedule to do so, and so she

446
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: caught a flight popped up on me in Sedona. And

447
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: so one of the days after I finished teaching, um,

448
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: we just went on this long, long, hours long hike

449
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: in the sun, had dinner, caught up on life, shared

450
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, dreams and visions for things coming, and then

451
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: we parted ways and I headed back home. And you know,

452
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I thought, sacred land. This is sacred land. Those places

453
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: you go there's no real concept of time. Your soul

454
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: feels recharged, your soul feels nourished, and there's opportunity for spontaneity.

455
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: You know, when you think about these places or where

456
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: could be sacred land for you. It's also a place

457
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: that not just invokes your you know, higher self, it's

458
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: a place that lends you an energy to have really

459
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: extraordinary random experiences, you know, very synchronistic, serendipitous experiences. So

460
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: if there's any place you're thinking of, let this be

461
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: a signed to book that trip, UM, or at least

462
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: spend some time really thinking about it, you know, get

463
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: a book about it, print some pictures from the internet

464
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: about it and put them up. Let yourself reconnect to

465
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: that part of you and know that you can bring

466
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: that version of you when you feel your best in

467
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: these places. You can bring that version of you home.

468
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,440

477
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:37,080

478
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: your sacred land, whether it's a vacation of family members, home,

479
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: an area you traveled for work, someplace you happen to

480
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: find yourself, but it really resonates with your spirit as meaningful,

481
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: as important, as extraordinary. I want you to think about

482
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: that place, want you to write it on paper, and

483
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: I want you to write how you feel when you're there.

484
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: If you don't yet have sacred land, I want you

485
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: to dream. I want you to really think about the

486
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: kind of places that feel good to you. And it

487
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: could be Wow, I really love how I feel in

488
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: the desert, or I love how I feel in the

489
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: snow when I'm with trees. That's when I'm my best self.

490
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: When I'm by the ocean, when I smell that salt

491
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: in the air, when I feel that sand, that's it.

492
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: I want you to just start daydreaming about that more

493
