She 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: is a spiritual healer who offers services all the way 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: from reiki to chakra healing, to yoga and tarot readings, 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: or you can do a combination of all of them. 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: Holly and I revisited the topic of chakras that I 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: talked about with Erica Matlock a few weeks ago on 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: the podcast, and she told me about all of the 9 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: healing that she has personally found in working with our 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: bodies and healing this way. She also did a tarot 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: card reading on me before the podcast, and honestly, it 12 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: was so insanely spot onto my life right now that 13 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: I was still processing while we talked. Holly broke down 14 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: the tarot cards and why they work, and also just 15 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: so much more. She has a podcaster herself, to make 16 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: sure to listen and check out her own side and 17 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: podcast if you enjoy this one. Here's our conversation. Okay, 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: so can you give me the overall view of like, 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: what do you call your work? Because we just did 20 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: a tarot card reading? Is that how you say it? Yes? Okay? Um, 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: but you do a lot of other things too, So 22 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: what's the whole Like, what would you even refer to yourself? 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: As I struggle with this myself, how do I brand myself? 24 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,919 Speaker 1: So I usually use the word intuitive healer um because 25 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: that's basically what I'm doing. I'm really just holding space 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: for others to help them move through a healing process. 27 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: Whether it's in a yoga session or a raky session, 28 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: or a tarot session, or even in my group works. 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm trying to hold an energetic space for the healing 30 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: of others. It was interesting because I read on your website, 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: I think it was it was with the tarot card, 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: but you said basically, usually people come in and their 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: heart knows what they need to hear, and you're just 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: kind of delivering the message, which is exactly what just 35 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: happened to me. But is that kind of with everything 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: that you do? Yeah, I think really we all have 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: the capacity to be our own healers um, and I 38 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: can just act as a bit of a mirror um, 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 1: and I feel like the tarot cards especially are like 40 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: a beautiful mirror reflecting back to us the things that 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: we know deep in our hearts, but that we might 42 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: not have in the forefront of our brain. Okay, so 43 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: give me a little backstory because you mentioned to me 44 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: earlier that you you stork in the fashion industry. So 45 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: how did you transition into this kind of work. I 46 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: think the seed was planted for me at a young age, 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: like around eighteen. I started getting interested in like Zen 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: meditation and Buddhism. But then I went to college and 49 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: I really wanted to move to New York City and 50 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: just like live that Carrie Bradshaw life and we're all 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: the fabulous clothes. So I did that, and after a 52 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: few years, I realized, as like a fashion assistant in wholesale, 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: that I didn't want my boss's job and I didn't 54 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: want my boss's boss's job either, So I jumped ship 55 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: and I started working for a company selling custom business suits, 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: um to businessmen. The company was actually originated in Nashville. 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: It's called Tom James and funny but full circle moment. 58 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: You never thought I'd end up here, um but I 59 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: and that was just all about like making money, and 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: it was high stressed. It was commission based only, and 61 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: I had to cold call in canvas like high level 62 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: CEOs working in like lawyers finance guys walking onto a 63 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: trading floor with like hundreds of men screaming, and I 64 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: was stressed out. I was so stressed um and I 65 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: was killing it and I was loving it, but I 66 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: needed something to like help me get through my days. 67 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: And basically, I think it was was it two thousand 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: and eight when we had that huge house bubble bursts, 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: and I mean I lost like two thirds of my 70 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: clients hell, like all didn't have the money at a 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: Mormon Brothers Closer Doors, like all these huge financial institutions 72 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: just started shutting down bear Sterns. So many clients just 73 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: disappeared overnight, and I started doing yoga as a way 74 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: to cope with the fact that I was like did 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: not know how to pay my West Village rends. And 76 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: the minute I walked into the yoga studio, it was 77 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: like I felt like I was home and I had 78 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: no idea what I was doing. They were speaking song script, 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: a language that's been like that's dead and like I've 80 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: never heard before, but there was still something about it 81 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: that just spoke to my soul. And within a year 82 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: I was applying to become a yoga instructor because you 83 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: just found so much healing there, so you did yoga 84 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: and then now it's transitioned into totally different things. It's 85 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: a full practice of things. Yeah. So the yoga was 86 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: like my gateway drug and deeper healing. Um. And you know, 87 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: I always felt like a sensitive person sense, really sensitive 88 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: to energies. When I first moved to the city, I 89 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: actually used to drink a lot of alcohol to help 90 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: them out. The intensity of the places that I was 91 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: in and these like really old historic buildings and the 92 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: energy of ten million people around all the time. I 93 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: was gonna say, the people around. Yeah. And so through 94 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: yoga UM, I was able to kind of learn a 95 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: little bit about like moving my own energy and protecting 96 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: my own energy. It really unfolded naturally for me. Like 97 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: the teachers that I was drawn to introduce me to 98 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: other teachers, the situations where I that I put myself in, 99 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: I would just like meet someone or get referred to. 100 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: I got referred from a friend to a raiky healer 101 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: who after one session, I just like knew that I 102 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: wanted to study raiki. Um. I found another teacher and 103 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: uh I started doing a practice called ishta, which is 104 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: the integrative science of Hatha tantra and yoga and tantra 105 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: is actually not all about sex, about moving energy up 106 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: and down the spine. So I used to do these 107 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: sontric meditations, these really deep, like thirty minute meditations moving energy, 108 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: and the teacher would come and do what they called 109 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: shock depots, so they would put their hand over your 110 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: head to try to draw the energy up your spine, 111 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 1: called the Kundalini energy, which I think you spoke about 112 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: in your last podcast with So the Kundalini energy is 113 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: the energy that runs up the central chord. And when 114 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: I started doing that a lot, I started noticing that 115 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: I could feel the energy rising up. And then when 116 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: I was teaching yoga, I could feel other people's energy 117 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: in my hands, and I didn't know what to do 118 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: about it. So my teacher told me to go get 119 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: a Ricky session. Okay, and what is reiky because you 120 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: now do reiky um as one of the things you offer, 121 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: but I haven't really, I've only I've done it once. 122 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: And then I kind of just remember like laying on 123 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: a table and this woman like moving her hands, not 124 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: even actually touching my body, but like feeling the energy 125 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: around me. Is that right? Yeah? And so Ricky Healing 126 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: is mostly done off of the body, or at least 127 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: for me anyway, I'll rarely touch or just lay a 128 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: gentle hand on. It is the transmutation of energy from 129 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: the u e F, the universal energy field that's all 130 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: around us everywhere, into the PEF, the personal energy field. 131 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: So we all have a personal energy field. We call 132 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: it the aura, and our energy field is a kind 133 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: of combination of everything going on. We have UM seven layers. 134 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: Each layer can be associated with each chakra. UM. But 135 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: there's the physical, the physical energy, the energy of the 136 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: physical body, the emotional body, the mental body, the spiritual body. 137 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: And so when I'm doing a reiky session, I'm not 138 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: actually the healer UM, and I use the word healer loosely. 139 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes I like to call myself more of a practitioner 140 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: because I am just a conduit for that energy. So 141 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm channeling from universal into personal UM. So the energy 142 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: is just moving through me, it's not actually coming from me. 143 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: But to do what like so clear any blocks and 144 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: dense energies in the aura, I look at the chakra system, 145 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: and if there's any imbalances in the chakras, I helped 146 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: to balance them. UM. A choker can be overactive jostick 147 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: or underactive to massic or it can bounce back and 148 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: forth between the two if it's not balanced, and so 149 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: I help to balance it. I work with the guide's guardians, spirits. 150 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes ancestors come through of that person. Sometimes they have messages, 151 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: but most of the time they just want me to 152 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: help clear the energy. And a lot of the energy 153 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: in our field also comes from past lives and UM 154 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: ancestral our ancestral lineage. This is so interesting because it's 155 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: combining like five podcasts I've done exactly. It's literally like 156 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: I was just thinking of the one I did with 157 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: Erica Matt like that you were talking about she if 158 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: you guys don't know about shakers. We did a really 159 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: I think, pretty intense breakdown of it that helps just 160 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: explain because I'm very new to that world and just learning. Also, UM, 161 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: I have the astrologer Marvin Wilkerson, Frank my psychic. I mean, 162 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: all of these people kind of talk in the same 163 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: spiritual realm that you're talking about. It's like, do you 164 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: consider yourself a psychic or just an intuitive? I don't 165 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: use the word psychic um because I don't work in 166 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: the same way that a psychic would. Um, I think 167 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: most psychics consider themselves like clairvoyant, and I'm claire sentient 168 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: and I have a little bit of clear audience. So 169 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: there's actually like five Claires, right, and the Claire is 170 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: our ability to kind of see. For me, I feel, 171 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: like I said, I feel the energy of my clients 172 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: in my hands while I was giving them adjustments. So 173 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: that's clear sentience. And if I'm working on someone's throat chakolate, 174 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: I can feel that energy in my own throat. But 175 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: I can also feel the energy of where my hands 176 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: need to go in order to clear it. But I 177 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: also have that inner knowing where sometimes like the thoughts 178 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: or the ideas just kind of hop pop into your head. 179 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: And that's why I like to use the Tarot cards, 180 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: because spirit doesn't always speak like the perfect human language, 181 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: and they don't have like ego and timelines and stuff 182 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: that we do. So the Tarot cards helped me to 183 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: better interpret the messages that I receive. Um. So yeah, 184 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,239 Speaker 1: I think I think we all just get the messages 185 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: in a different way. Whether you see it or you 186 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: feel it or you hear it. It's similar to what 187 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: a psychic would do. Okay, I want to talk about 188 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: the tarot cards. But I have one other question about 189 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: the way you feel it. And this is just like 190 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: my own curiosity. But I've done another podcast with about 191 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: being an impath and um Erica actually the chakra Lady. 192 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: That's not what you call her, the chakra Lady. UM. 193 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: She did an activity with a group of friends of 194 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: mine and I put my hands up to another friend 195 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: and I just felt so much anxiety immediately, And then 196 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: I had put it up to another friend and I 197 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: felt nothing like that. It was just very common, peaceful, 198 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: And so I told her that, and I was like, 199 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: why would I feel like I felt it in my stomach. 200 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: I felt like I was gonna throw up all of 201 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, And she was like, Oh, you're probably just 202 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: highly sensitive and an EmPATH. And those are things I 203 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: know about myself. But so what's the difference between what 204 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: you feel and that? There isn't really one except for 205 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: the fact that I'm actively channeling. I'm doing it really intentionally, 206 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: and I've done a lot of work to help myself. 207 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: UM put up energetic boundaries around the work. So for you, 208 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: like you opening yourself into your your friends oric field 209 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: and connecting your hands to them. You immediately felt their emotions. 210 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: And I think so many people who identify as as 211 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: empaths and HSPs that happens to them all the time. 212 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: That's what's happened. That's what was happening to me when 213 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: I was drinking. When I first got to New York, 214 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know that the anxiety was a lot. It 215 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: was just like an overload of energy. But I mean 216 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: everybody has that to some extent, like when you when 217 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: we use words like we walk into a space and 218 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: we're like, I really like the vibe here, or like 219 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: this place has like weird vibes, I don't feel right, 220 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: Like I think we we all have some level some degree. 221 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: I think some people are much much more sensitive to 222 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: it than others. And then when you're in doing work 223 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: like mine, it's just the process of learning how to 224 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: boundary yourself when you need to and to open So 225 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: like before I sit in session, you know, we take 226 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: a few deep breaths, I opened my crown chakra and 227 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: I asked to receive that guidance, and then I promptly 228 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: shut that ship down. That's when I'm about to walk 229 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: back out into the world. Because you can't just be 230 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: like an open antenna. That's how I feel like I'm 231 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: operating all the time right now, and it's just, yeah, 232 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: I just need to learn that to shut that ship 233 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: down because it's exhausting and I don't know what is 234 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: mine anymore, you know what I mean. Yeah, And I 235 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: had to go through periods of that too. Or I'd 236 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: be like sitting down in front of a client and 237 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I just get this like super 238 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: anxious feeling in my stomach. Or I'd noticed that I 239 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: had my hand and like white knuckling squeezing the chair 240 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: like and I'm like, oh wait, this isn't me. Yeah, 241 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: that is interesting. Okay, so let's talk about the tarot 242 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: cards because Okay, I've never done this before, and I 243 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: think I associate it with kind of like that, you know, 244 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: like hoaxie witchcrafty person or whatever. And I've obviously talked 245 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: a lot about like I see a psychic, I se 246 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: an astrologer. I'm very open to things like that now. 247 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: But I do think there's like a misconception about this. 248 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: Do you get that a lot that people are like, 249 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: is this ship true? It's totally funny because I thought 250 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: Tara was the last thing I learned in New York 251 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: UM and the smallest part of my business. And I 252 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: assume moving down here to Nashville that I would go 253 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: back into teaching yoga the most, because I didn't think 254 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: the South would be ready. Taro is the number one 255 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: thing I do here. Everybody calls me for taro and 256 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: to do like private parties, and so much of my 257 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: business is now about taro. And I was really worried 258 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: about that coming into the South, especially with this kind 259 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: of you know, it's it's a cult, it's tabia, and 260 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: unlike psychic it's there's something about the cards. There's something 261 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: about the visual representation and the archetypes of like the 262 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: devil UM that really tie it into like this, like 263 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't know negative energy, UM, but really the cards 264 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: just represent the energies within us. So the devil isn't 265 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: about the actual devil. The devil is about the things 266 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: that we do that we just know we shouldn't like, 267 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: it's about our own codependency. It's about the way that 268 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: we attach ourselves to things we aren't good for us. UM. 269 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: And so I think there's a lot I can say 270 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: about like why that misconception exists UM. After being in 271 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: patriarchy for thousands and thousands of years. There's a reason 272 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: the Whiches were burned, um, But my ancestors gonnat be burned, 273 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: and that's why I'm still here. Um. And there's a 274 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: reason that like we're having a resurgence of that in 275 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: popularity right now because I think we're ready as a 276 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: collective to tap into our feminine power. Um. And that 277 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of that misconception just comes from 278 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: fear and control that was enforced by religions and patriarchy. Well, 279 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting you say that about our society 280 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: being ready. I didn't even think about that, but so 281 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: many of my friends are kind of on the same 282 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: spiritual journey that I've been on, and we just you know, 283 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: you try the different things and see what works for you. 284 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: And um. I think what was interesting for me was 285 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: I had no idea what to expect. And then I 286 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: obviously read your website because I knew we were doing 287 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: this podcast, and I was just thinking to myself, like, 288 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: is she going to be like when I go sit 289 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: with Frank and he's telling me about all my life 290 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: and on your on your website, it's said, no, you're 291 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: you know already and I'm just kind of like bringing 292 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: this information. And it was so that like you laid 293 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: the cards out and you were you told me, like, 294 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: you can tell me what this means to you, and 295 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: they were immediately they spoke to me in very specific 296 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: situations happening in my life right now. So is that 297 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: how it always happens? Yeah, it's literally so many people 298 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: will tell me after a session, they'll be like, that 299 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: was like five of my therapy sessions. But I say, 300 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: it really is like therapy because you also, like we 301 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: would talk through the situations and then they would make 302 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: more sense to you as to why I got certain cards, 303 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: and then it was insightful as to like steps I 304 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: should take or could take to help myself. Yeah, and 305 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: I think you know, we think of like we live 306 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: in our ego, right, so we live in our conscious 307 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: mind and we're just like playing out these narratives that 308 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: exist for our whole lives. And so the beauty of 309 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: the tero and what really drew me to it, I 310 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: was I was doing a lot of yoga and teaching 311 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: a lot of yoga, and what was missing for me 312 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: was the darkness. Um, what what do you mean? Yoga? 313 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: Is so much like love and light and and excel 314 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: joy and and it's so much more than that too. 315 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: It's it's it's movement, and movement in itself is medicine. 316 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: But there was, Um, there was something else I was 317 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: looking for where I could talk a little more deeply about, 318 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: like the complexity of the human experience, and the seventy 319 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: eight cars in the deck are said to be indicative 320 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: of the entire human experience in some way. And this 321 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: is also the unconscious and the higher consciousness, and and 322 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: those were the pieces that I really felt were missing 323 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: and just teaching yoga, Um is that I wanted to 324 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: highlight those the deeper meaning underneath some of our the 325 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: things that are happening in our consciousness and the reasons 326 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: we feel stuck and why. And that's what the taro does. 327 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: It will highlight the things and the patterns that we 328 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: have that we don't necessarily we haven't shed light on 329 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 1: yet they're still in the darkness. Yeah, I mean that 330 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: was That's interesting because I've started thinking about a couple 331 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: of the things that came up in our reading, and 332 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: it almost just kind of validates, like you said, like 333 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: what you already instinctually know, but maybe somehow you're blocking 334 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: it or I mean a couple of my cards actually 335 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: told me I was specifically blocking like self doubt, self 336 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: sabotage kind of things, and like just to have that 337 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: validated almost And I think we all just want to 338 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: know we're on the right path, do you know what 339 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, totally. And it's like and it's like 340 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: what I was saying before, like we all have this 341 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: deeper knowing, we all have this access to our intuition, 342 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: but we also live in a society that doesn't teach 343 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: us to trust that. Society teaches us to trust our 344 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: ego and to live specifically from that. And if there's 345 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: a problem, find a way to fix it. But we're 346 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: not broken. We're not meant to be fixed. Like some 347 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: things need to be sat with and felt and deeply experienced. 348 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: And I don't think that that we've done a good 349 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: job of understanding how to do that and truly being 350 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: present with ourselves. That is interesting. So like the ego 351 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: tells us to fix it and get out of stuff, 352 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: like we were talking about that specifically, Um, just like 353 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: I want to move through some things and like you 354 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: were like, no, you need to be in this right 355 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: now and you need to like feel those feelings or 356 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: you need to go through the motions of this, and 357 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: like that is how I'm going to become a higher self. Yeah. Well, 358 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: it's like that saying of like what we resist persist. 359 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: And the thing is is like we have to bring 360 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: awareness to it because we if we if our pattern 361 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: is to resist it, we're not going to know that 362 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: we're doing that. And that's why the tarot can be 363 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: so helpful because it's just like, no, this is this 364 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: is what you're doing. This is where you're running past 365 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: some of the things that need to be sat with 366 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: with present presence and non judgments. Um, the non judgment 367 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: that's a hard one. Yeah, okay, So can you break 368 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: down You kind of told me a little bit of 369 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: the backstory of cards and kind of the way they 370 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: lay out. Can you explain that to the people? Yeah, 371 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: So a tarot deck is a very specific So there's 372 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: hundreds of decks out there, and now that there's been 373 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: this like surgeons of popularity and decks are going to 374 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: find tons of them and like whatever you're into, there's 375 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: a deck for that, Like do you want to puppies 376 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: and kittens? Deck? Do you want to dolphins. Yeah, but 377 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: they're not all considered tarot. So a lot of those 378 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: are just oracle decks, which can have any theme and 379 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: any amount of cards and anything goes. Tarot decks specifically 380 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: are seventy eight cards. The minor arcana is UM four 381 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: suits and it's laid out exactly like a playing card deck, 382 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: so four suits ace through ten, and then what we 383 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: call the court cards, which is page Night, Queen, and King, 384 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: so almost exactly like any cards that you would play with. 385 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: Readers can read with regular playing card decks. I had 386 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: a reading when I was like twelve from an old 387 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: woman who just used regular playing card decks. And then 388 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: the major arcana is zero through one, so twenty two cards, 389 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: and these are the major players in the deck, and 390 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: they're the ones that are most popular. So like if 391 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,239 Speaker 1: you don't know anything about tarot, you've probably seen like 392 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: The Devil, the Lover's the Tower. These are the major archetype, 393 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: the most popular UM. Just like usually if you're seeing 394 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: anything on TV being as Taro being depicted, they're going 395 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: to use the images of the major arcana because they're 396 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: they're just more poignant and more specific. But what does 397 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: major mean like, Okay, so there's miners and matures, and 398 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: arcana just comes from arcane, which is hidden. So it's 399 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: showing us what is hidden. And that's where I'm talking about, 400 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: like what's in the unconscious the subconscious mind. Um. And 401 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: so the majors are archetypes that we actually want to 402 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: embody to help us move through a specific situation. And 403 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: they all offer us a soul lesson. And so I 404 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: believe that we all commit to different soul lessons that 405 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: we want to learn in this lifetime. And so they're 406 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: representative of where we're going towards or how we're going 407 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: or where we are in the pro sus of learning 408 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: that lesson. And some lessons we learned quickly and some 409 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: are more like lifetime long lessons. Um. Yeah. And so 410 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: it's just it's about how we're going to learn that 411 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: lesson that I was gonna ask is do you like 412 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: if you do multiple readings on people, do you see 413 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: it come up again where they'll have a similar card? Really? 414 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I call them the stalker cards. They're bad. 415 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: The card that will not you think you're done and 416 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: it comes back, but I'm not done with that lesson here. Yeah. Wow, 417 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: and then the minor are kinda are the ego journey, 418 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: and these are more of like the day to day cards, 419 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: So rather than lessons that we may learn over a lifetime, 420 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: these are the situations that are going to happen quickly 421 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: in days, weeks, months, that help us to move towards 422 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: those deeper soul lessons. So it'll be like this, small 423 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 1: little things that come up on your day to day Yeah, 424 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: everything from example, yeah yeah, everything from like being jealous 425 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: of a friends or or someone you see online to um, 426 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: things that are going to happen in your career. It's 427 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: like making a big job jump, or to a dispute 428 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: that you have with a friends or a lover. Um. 429 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: So what all. Also, the miners can be broken down 430 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: into those four suits, and each suit is representative of 431 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: an element. So you're going to start with fire and 432 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: these are called the Wollns cards. Fire is going to 433 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: be about our passion, our desires, our sexuality, our sensuality, um, 434 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: and the way that we kind of manifest our dreams 435 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: into reality. And then you have the Swords cards and 436 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: these are air and this is going to be about 437 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: our mental processing, our development of our ideas, our intelligence, 438 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: and then our ego, which is a big one. And 439 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: then you have the cups cards and these are water 440 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: and these are associated with our emotional world. So this 441 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: is going to look like our relationships, our self love, 442 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: our self care, the way that we nurture ourselves and others. 443 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: And then finally you have the pentacles and these are 444 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: the longest, So I'm going in order from the quickest 445 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: to longest um and pencacles are representative of earth energy, 446 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: and so this is going to look more like our home, 447 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: our job, our money, our family, the things that represent 448 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: security to us. And this is kind of why I 449 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: say that, like the cards can be indicative of like 450 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: the entire human experience because there's a lot in there 451 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: that you can pull to look at, you know, what 452 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: areas of your life. This lesson is being presented. And yeah, 453 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: it's interesting because even when I was just listening to 454 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: talk about the descriptions of how this happens again, I 455 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: got I went to a fear place. Like you know, 456 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: it's like when I go sit with Frank the psychic 457 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: right before I go, and I'm like, oh, what the 458 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: funk is he about to tell me? You know, like 459 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: you're you kind of anticipate like hearing the worst or 460 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: I think that's just what we do. And that was 461 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: sort of how I felt, like, what is she about 462 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: to flip over with the card? But it is so 463 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: interesting because I already knew all of it and none 464 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: of it surprised me. But it really did just validate 465 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: again where I need to be focusing and kind of 466 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: where pushing myself forward maybe yeah, absolutely, and and where 467 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: we need to hang back or still yeah, exactly exactly. Um, 468 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: I think this is a lot of information. So I 469 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: do find your website to be very helpful. Um, where 470 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: can people find that? It's Holly Raimi dot com?

My podcast is called Tarot Talk Tara Talk, Yeah, 497 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: and I do Tara reading for the collective energy of 498 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: the new moon, which is a time of like more 499 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: inward reflection and intention setting, and then the full moon, 500 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: which is about more about release and yeah, kind of 501 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: the peak of the cycle. I can't tell you guys enough, 502 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: I've really like suggest this. I didn't know how I feel, 503 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: but we did the reading right before. And also, like 504 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: Holly does a lot of workshops that tap into different 505 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: what did you we talked about doing one about the 506 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: womb healing, but about yeah, a womb healing workshop coming up, 507 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: so that that is specifically around the second chakra and 508 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: some of the themes that come up with the second chakra, 509 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: which there's a lot um, this is our self war, 510 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: this is our emotional landscape, this is our connection to 511 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: our matriarchal lineage. This has also been hugely suppressed in 512 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: patriarchal society and just telling women what they can and 513 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: cannot do with their bodies. Um. And so yeah, so 514 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: I I do work around that. I offer a New 515 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: Moon ceremony every single month, um, and this is just 516 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: a time for both men and women um to sit 517 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: together in circle. I think, UM, moving forward, there's a 518 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: lot of healing that can be done in community. I 519 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: think we've kind of become more nuclear in our family units, 520 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: and like healing has become a very individual thing where 521 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: we like go to the doctor and try to figure 522 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: it out. But I think there's actually a lot of 523 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: healing that can be done in community and and learning 524 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: to it and hold space for each other. And so 525 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: agree with that. I love that, yeah, and so I 526 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: like to form my workshops around that, and so and 527 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: I offer everybody racky healing, and I lead you through 528 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: meditations and we set intentions, and then I give little 529 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: individual Tarot card polls for everyone. And so it's just 530 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: a really nice way to kind of honor each other 531 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: and and sit and honor the moon and the more 532 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: feminine practices, which is really the basis of all my teaching, 533 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: is like remembering when we regarded nature as sacred, remembering 534 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: a time when we regarded each other and the emotional 535 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: bonds and connections as sacred, remembering a time when we 536 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: felt the authority to be our own healers. I think 537 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: it's so cool with your practice because you tie all 538 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: of it back in together, like what you just explain exactly, 539 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: but even just the moon cycles and all of it, 540 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: and like just being entire to with your body almost 541 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: and listening to your instinct in your gut, and just 542 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: the way we're communicating with ourselves all the time. I 543 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: find that we just all block that out. I know, 544 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: I do just because we're going so fast, you know, 545 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: because yeah, that has been We've been in this really 546 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: really masculine energy for a long time, um under patriarchy, 547 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: and I think that we are really feeling called towards balance, 548 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: or really being called towards feminine energy. And I'm not 549 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: talking about gender. I'm talking about the masculine feminine energy 550 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: that exists within all of us. And we've put so 551 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: much emphasis on masculine which is output and productivity, but 552 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: it brings us into a deep level of stress response 553 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: and it actually creates a lot of trauma, creates a 554 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: lot of other things like war. And if you look 555 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: at our environment and what's happening in the world, and 556 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: if you look at what's happening in our political landscape, 557 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: like you can see the effects of that starting to 558 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: really show, um. But you could also see how many 559 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: people are interested in healing it. It's so true. I 560 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: do think you're right. I think there's a movement right 561 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: now for that, for something different, something deeper spiritually, all 562 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: of it. It reminds me a little bit of like 563 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: the movement that happened around the sixties and seventies on 564 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: a deeper level, and I think we're all being called 565 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: to um express ourselves more authentically, to use our voices 566 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: in a stronger way. And you can even see how 567 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: that's happening on social media now, how social media has 568 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: become this tool for everyone to like really use their voice. Um. 569 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: But it's also coming with its own shadow of like 570 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: what that means and like, um, what has been suppressed 571 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: really needing to come out into the light. And you 572 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: can even see that happening strongly in America right now. Um. Yeah, 573 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: And so this returns to the feminine energy is an 574 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: opportunity for us to um do less really right, to 575 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: not have to fix every problem, but to know and 576 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: trust in the things that we can't see. And that's magic, right, 577 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: That's that's faith and that spirituality. And even if you 578 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: are religious, like there's it's it's all a form of faith. 579 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: It's all a form of trust. Um. And there's a 580 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: lot of medicine in just that and just being able 581 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: to not have to do, not have to fix, not 582 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: have to prove your worth. Oh my god, she's preaching 583 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: to me right now. But um, if you guys are 584 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: interested in the terribties, do you do these on over 585 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: the phone or how do you do. I do them 586 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: both one on one if you're in Nashville Integrant Nashville 587 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: so and if you're not, I do them via distance. 588 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: We could do a FaceTime session or zoom or Skype 589 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: or whatever. Um and I do the same with reiky. 590 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: So ky can be done in person, but it could 591 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: also be done in distance. That's interesting. And so energy 592 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: has no space and time limitations like we do. Yeah. Yeah, 593 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: it extends way out far beyond the physical body. So 594 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: when I'm giving distance sessions sometimes people feel it even 595 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: more strongly. UM and I do a distance session like 596 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 1: every month with one of my friends from New York. 597 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: We send each other raiky.
