Thank you, Thank you. 26 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: How you hold it up during the pandemic. How was 27 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: that for you? You know what I gotta say, wildly 28 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: challenging off top, but it's been probably one of the 29 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: best years of my life. You know, I really deepened 30 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: my spiritual journey. I was already on this path and 31 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: I was, you know, kind of diligently doing the work, 32 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: and then this gave me opportunity to kind of deepen 33 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: some of that healing, to understand ways in which to 34 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: help other people heal. And you know, this time it 35 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: I feel like it's been challenging for quite a lot 36 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: of people because so many are meeting themselves for the 37 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: first time, you know, spending that much time with themselves 38 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: and being in their thoughts. But if you let it, 39 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: it can be so beautiful. You get to the root 40 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: of anything that was holding you back. You have the 41 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: chance to cultivate a really deep, beautiful internal relationship with self. 42 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: There's just a there's a lot of opportunity to it. Well, 43 00:02:52,600 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about your journey and how this became your calling. Yes, Well, 44 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: y'all know, I started a radio born and raised in 45 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: l A. You know. I the thing that led me 46 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: to radio was I was so deeply curious about storytelling, 47 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: curious about myself, curious about the world. Like radio is 48 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: one of the most sacred, in my opinion, art forms, 49 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: like you get to share space in someone's mind. And 50 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: I loved it for so long. But then when I 51 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: started my journey, I just found that I was really 52 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: called to study metaphysics, I was really called to study trauma. 53 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: And I kind of just found myself not easily being 54 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: able to stay up on current events or you know, 55 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: really wanting to just talk about some other things. And 56 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: so I pivoted and I went into the self care, wellness, 57 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: mindfulness world, which I did it kind of before the 58 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: big bang hit on social media of wellness, and so 59 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: it was very uncharted territory. I didn't know if I 60 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: made the right choice for a long time, but I 61 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: stuck with it and I felt, you know, I just 62 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: feel like my calling is to help people heal. You know, 63 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: we we throw these terms around there. We say, you know, 64 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: mental health, we say mindfulness, we say wellness, we say healing. 65 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: What what is all of that to you? In particular mindfulness? 66 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: What is that to you? So mindfulness is it's really 67 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: rooted in a slowing down um kind of you know, 68 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: the very simplified term would be to be mindful, to 69 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: have things kind of top of mind, to have a 70 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: seed of intention that's been planted, and that's the way 71 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: you're navigating your spiritual values in the world. But what 72 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: I think it is more clearly, and I think a 73 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: lot of the conversation around healing, it's like mental health here, 74 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: mindfulness wellness here, and it's like you have to have 75 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: both and they have to be integrated for you to 76 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: really live the fullest life possible. You have to do 77 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: some of that deeper trauma healing, which mental health is 78 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: so great for. Talk therapy, so matic therapy is so 79 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: beautiful for but you also need that piece that makes 80 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: it real for you and not just stuck in your brain, 81 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: not just intellectualizing it. It has to come down to 82 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: your heart so that you can actually embody and live it. 83 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: So why did they go hand in hand? Why do 84 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: you mental health and mindfulness go hand in hand? You think, well, 85 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: you have to have integration, so you have to have 86 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: the mind, body soul connection to have the full experience 87 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: of being a whole human being. And a lot of 88 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: times when we just focus on the mental health point, 89 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: which is just incredibly important, but when we just focus 90 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: on that, you're missing so many other opportunities to love yourself, 91 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: to get to know yourself. You know, part of part 92 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 1: of the reason we're so disconnected from ourselves is because 93 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: we feel foreign in our own bodies, especially if you're 94 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: a person of color. You know, you were trained through 95 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: systemic racism, through years of ancestral trauma, to not really 96 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: feel safe in your own body. And so self care 97 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: is really such a radical form of revolution for us 98 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: as people of color, to really be able to sit 99 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: inside yourself and enjoy where you're spending that time, to 100 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: be able to even touch yourself, to love your body, 101 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, to feel yourself. It's so so important, and 102 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: I think so many people don't realize how rare that is, 103 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: especially depending on your circumstance. You know, even to hold 104 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: eye contact with another person and so sacred and intimate, 105 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: and so many people have a real, a real challenge 106 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: being able to do that because of how they experienced themselves. 107 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: What was the turning point for you that that got you, 108 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: that that got you really into it? Was it something 109 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: that you've seen, Was it some trauma that happened to you, 110 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: Was it a friends trauma? Like? What got you so 111 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: into it? You know, I think we all walk around 112 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: with so much storage trauma, and sometimes it's trauma that 113 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: really was passed down to us genetically through our d 114 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: n A, through our ancestral trauma that we have, and 115 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: you know, we when you have different experiences like maybe 116 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: you're a little more angry, or maybe you know your 117 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: depression prone, our anxiety, A lot of it is things 118 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: that are so outside of your control. And so I 119 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: started noticing that, you know, in my own healing. I'm 120 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: an only child raised by a single parent. It was 121 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: a very emotionally isolating experience. Sometimes, you know, which any 122 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: only child's listening. I know that you can only people 123 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: think we're spoiled, but in fact we're just introspective. But 124 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's um when I started really investigating myself 125 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: looking back at my history, looking back at my experiences, 126 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: and seeing what I thought they meant about me. So 127 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: much of the things that happened to us when we're children, 128 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: even if they're not major, you know, perceived major traumas, 129 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: they plant these seeds of how we grow to feel 130 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: about ourselves and how we grow to see the world. 131 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: And so when I started really investigating, like why do 132 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: I think this way, why do I feel that way? 133 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: Why do I experience like a charge in my chest 134 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: or an anxiety? When this happens and you slowly start 135 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: peeling back the layers, and before you know it, it's 136 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: like this memory as a three year old of misinterpreting 137 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: something that happened, that planted a seed that you built 138 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: upon and built upon and built upon, and before you 139 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: knew it, you know, you were in a space where 140 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: maybe you didn't really care about yourself, or you didn't 141 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: think you were worth it or worthy. And I think 142 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: that this idea of worthiness so many people grow up. 143 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: Really all the human experiences is remember bring your wholeless. 144 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Everyone has seeds of feeling like they're unworthy at one 145 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: time another, and many for their entire lives. And you 146 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: don't quite know why, and so doing a lot of 147 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: that self investigation, doing different things that allow you to 148 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: feel connected to the inside of yourself, to feel connected 149 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: to your journey. It helps you start really releasing that 150 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: narrative so that you can live the fullest life possible. 151 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: Do you think the circumstances of this past year make 152 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: it easier or more difficult to to go on a 153 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: spiritual journey. I think a little bit of both. You know, 154 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: there's always that kind of yin and yang, that that polarity. 155 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people that were already awakened, 156 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: you were tested more deeply. It was really like, can 157 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: you put this work to the test in this moment? 158 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: And that's what I really had to do. I've been 159 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: doing this work, I've been meditating many many years, and 160 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: then being in this scobal pandemic, I'm like, Okay, it's 161 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: time to step up my self care routine. I gotta 162 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: supercharge it. The things that I was doing to show 163 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: up for myself in this moment, it's not an enough. 164 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: So how else can I best love myself and love 165 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: this moment? How can I lean into uncertainty? I think 166 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: some people were thrust into like a radical shift. Maybe 167 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: people who didn't even feel that they believed in this 168 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. You just are brought to your knees 169 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: and you're forced to surrender um. And I think for 170 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: other people, because that's just the way the human brain works, 171 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: it further solidified to them whatever narrative they created about 172 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: the world being unsafe. You know, it's been so dope 173 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: for people who want to guests started on a spiritual 174 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: journey but don't know where to begin. What would you 175 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: tell them would be one of the first steps, Oh man, 176 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: You know, one of the first steps is just really 177 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: setting the intention to become more and to be better. 178 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: There's so much power in planning the seat of intention um. 179 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: And you can do that with affirmations, you know, depending 180 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: especially on your cultural belief system, there is so much um. 181 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: So many family systems that really restrict your ability to 182 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: connect to yourself, and so many belief systems that tell 183 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: you you have to have a middleman to get to 184 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: the divine, to get to God. But God resides in 185 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: all of us, like our ability to grow and transcend 186 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: is always there. And trusting that we have a right 187 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: to access that goodness and that deeper connection on our 188 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: own is so important. But I would say, really just 189 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: saying out loud. You know, one of my first when 190 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: I first started this path, it came as me on 191 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: my knees bawling and saying, God, I surrender, use me, 192 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: you know. And I think in the mindfulness world, whatever 193 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: you like to call your higher power, if you believe 194 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: in one, it's really just saying I'm ready to become more. 195 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: Show me how or something I love saying to myself, 196 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: Um is God, please show me the deeper truth of 197 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: who I am. And then I disconnect from whatever that 198 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: answer is, and I let the answers just slowly show up, 199 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: and the right teachers, or the right readings or the 200 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: right conversations just begin to populate your life in a 201 00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: really delicious way. Can negative energy attract positive energy? Death? No? Impossible? Yeah, 202 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: it's impossible, you know it's um. The energetic exchange is 203 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: such a deeply powerful and sacred experience. And when you're 204 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: rooted in negativity, we're each the we're each the co 205 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: creators of our life. So we're in co creation with 206 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: divine power or whatever you like to call that higher 207 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: power to really manifest the life of your highest vision. 208 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: When we hold onto those seeds of negativity, or we 209 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: consider ourselves to be stuck or unworthy of more, which 210 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: typically if you're negative, it's because you've given up a 211 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: belief that you can have more or that you deserve more. 212 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: And when you give into that mindframe, it doesn't allow 213 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: any cracks in your wounds for the light to get through. 214 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: So it's really hard from that space to be able 215 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: to attract positivity, which is not to say you won't 216 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: encounter some, but you just may not be able to 217 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: recognize it when it shows up. Wow, I want to 218 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: know about You're doing a podcast. You have a podcast 219 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: that's on UM.

I talked about thinking 223 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: like my own musings, observations I'm having about the world, 224 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: observations I'm having about myself as I do the work. 225 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: I have guests on you know, I had Charlemagne on 226 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: the show talking about really unpacking his journey. I would 227 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: love to have you, Envy, I would love to have 228 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: you angelus.

Oh well, we were just on a little 231 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: vacation in Mexico. But that's neither at your house, all right, 232 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: at your cribbing cobb. All right, you're trying to get 233 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: me robbed at this. I don't know what you're talking about. 234 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: Uh no. But so in this season, so it's really 235 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: talking to people about their journeys because so many people 236 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: think they can't approach this work because they don't have 237 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: this ideal thing happening or they haven't reached this level 238 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: of success. So oh, of course it's easy for you. 239 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: And it's really about getting into like the cellular level 240 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: of like how did that switch start happening? How did 241 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: you start allowing yourself to see the world differently and 242 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: to shift? And in this season, I'm really excited because 243 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: we're deep diving into a lot of metaphysics. I have 244 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: incredible guests coming on the show, people doing deep work 245 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: and decolonizing the mental health field, joy and pleasure work, 246 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: really bringing pleasure to the forefront as a way to 247 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: help women heal um using orgasms to manifest. We talked 248 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: about that on the show this yeah, yeah, we were 249 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: getting there. You know, there there's a lot of facets 250 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: to this wellness. It's not just meditation. There's so many 251 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: healing modalities and so many tools to be on this journey. 252 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: And so this season I'm really trying to unpack it. 253 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: So for people that are like, oh, I can't meditate, 254 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: there's no way, or oh that looks weird, this looks weird, 255 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: I'm really looking to present so many different entry points 256 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: for this path. How did you break through with Charlemagne? 257 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: I mean, because you know we talked. I mean, I 258 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: mean with being honest. You know Charlemagne a long time 259 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: and you know how he was, you know, hurt people, 260 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: hurt people who He used to make me fun of 261 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: people all the time. Um, it didn't matter if you 262 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: were tall, short, black, white, if if you're down syndrome, 263 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: Charlemagne would make that is not trying to kid in 264 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: your school you made fun of and you said, the 265 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: kid yoked you up. He didn't have down syndrome. He 266 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: was like autistic, okay, autistic. But you know, how how 267 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: did you, you know, get Charlemagne? How did you get 268 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: Charlemagne out of that? You know, how did you get 269 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: him out of that way he's changed a little bit 270 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: where you know, I'm seeing him, you know, walking outside 271 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: with his bad toes, you know, hugging days and things 272 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: like that, Like how did you get up to that part? Well, 273 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: Charlemagne has divine light on him, so I think that 274 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: has always been in his cards since he was born, 275 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: to live this really beautifully big life. I think, you know, 276 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: it's like Charlemagne gets all the credit for that. He's 277 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: done the work. You know, he's deep dived into himself. 278 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: And I think that it's so hard to look at 279 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: yourself for real. You know, we get so caught in 280 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: this idea of shame, or this idea of what we 281 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: don't deserve, or this idea that past decisions that we've 282 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: made have to define what the rest of our life 283 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: is going to look like, especially with council culture. And 284 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: I think it's so important that you know, we allow 285 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: people the room to stretch and to grow, Like as 286 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: a society, we can only expand as the highest level 287 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: of consciousness that we possess. So so many of the 288 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: ways that we maybe showed up a little differently was 289 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: also you know kind of um, it was kind of 290 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: in the midst of what our collective consciousness allowed at 291 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: that time. But you know, shock Eavy. You know, Charlemagne 292 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: has always been woke, even when he was in the 293 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: midst of his craziness, he has had that he's super woke. Now. Now, 294 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: when I see Charlemagne hugging a tree and holding a 295 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: tree and walking around in the grass, was ugly told 296 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: did not have a pedicule number two that was called grounding, sir, okay, 297 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: I was centering myself, all right, the hug insues too, 298 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: So why is that important to tell them what grounding 299 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: is important? We have to get anchored, you know. So 300 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: we could let me try to say this in a 301 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: way that that's going to really make it across, because 302 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: we could dive into like all the different energetic bodies 303 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: that we possess. We have our kind of what's called 304 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: a food sheath, which is our physical body that houses 305 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: our soul, the skin, you know, bones and all that, 306 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: and then you have your energetic bodies and there's so 307 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: many different layers of energy that surrounds you. Um. But 308 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: I think when we get into when we're on Earth 309 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: and we're experiencing this human experience as as spiritual beings, 310 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: we have to ground. We have to remember to get 311 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: centered in a great mechanism. To do that is connecting 312 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: with nature and really being able to behold the functions 313 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: of the world and behold God's beauty and God's grace. 314 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: And it's so important to do breathwork. It's so weren't 315 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: to plant your feet in soil, to plant your feet 316 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: in the ground, to get restored, to experience sunshine on 317 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: your skin and really hold space, uh, to be mindful 318 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: in those moments, and to experience all the little joys 319 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: that come with it. You know that Devi is so important, 320 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: you know she She's one of the most important people 321 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: in my life. But the reason I feel you're so 322 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: important to the coaches because you are hip hop. You 323 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: know I'm saying, watching you grow from Tupac the DPAC 324 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: has been one of the the greatest joys in my life. 325 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: And I want to ask you, like, what what did 326 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: Tupac do to open up your third eye? Because because 327 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: since I've known you, you've been a Tupac Hey, yeah, 328 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: super obsessed. Uh. You know, the thing that I thought 329 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: that I always connected to so deeply with Tupac was 330 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: how multifaceted he was and how awake. He was at 331 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: such a young age. You know, we forget and obviously 332 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: are there problematic lyrics? Was there some problematic behavior, But 333 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: most of what we saw of Pak was him twenty 334 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: four and under and the fact that he was able 335 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: to showcase the array of human emotions and human experiences. 336 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: I always connected to, you know, I've always, always, since 337 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: I was a little girl, been fascinated by transformation, really 338 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: been deeply introspective and wanted to know what are what 339 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: are all the feelings one can feel? What are all 340 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: the experiences one can connect to? And I think, you know, 341 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: Pak said it so well. He he had figures, these 342 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: really archetypal figures like him, like Oprah. You know, they 343 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: sparked the They sparked that thing in your brain that 344 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: lets you know you can have more, you can think more, 345 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: you can be more. And when you see pac and 346 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, songs like keep your head up, Brenda's got 347 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: a baby, um baby, don't cry, you know, unconditional love, 348 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: so many tears. There was so much depth to him, 349 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: and that's something that I didn't really hear in that 350 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: way growing up, and so I was just I was 351 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: floored when when I was a little girl in pac 352 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: was on the scene, you know, the things that he 353 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: were saying. It just started expanding my mind and it 354 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: planted the seeds to really seek out more for me. 355 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: But that's why the journey has been so amazing for 356 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: me to watch, because I think I mentioned like oh 357 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: six oh seven, and it was it was park and 358 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: it was all West because but you was always conscious. 359 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: So just to watch that consciousness, just to continue to grow, 360 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: to grow, to grow to now where you you know 361 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: you you you work for deep Parc, the chief impact 362 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: Officer at Chopra Global. You're building with Deepark Chopra on 363 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: a regular basis. Like that's just been very very interesting 364 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: for me to watch. Yeah, and you know, for for 365 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: us all, I think because we all know dev on 366 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: our you know, on a different type of level for 367 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: different purposes.

And me and Angela 369 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: used to be in the streets. I don't want to 370 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 1: bring it up up, you know, but yeah, Earl trips 371 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: to Miami and the streets in l A and New York. Yes, club, Yeah, 372 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: I gotta run all forgot about it to leave her 373 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 1: car in the parking lot. I have no idea what 374 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: you're saying. Let's talk about meditate, guys. Let's before that, 375 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: I want to talk about your book real quick. I 376 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: want to talk about Crystal Bliss. There you go, because 377 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: you know Crystal Bliss. I wanted what did it benefits 378 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: of gyms and crystals? Dev sends me, Jim, She sends 379 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: me crystals. I buried something that tree you saw me hugging, 380 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: I buried I buried something at the root of that. 381 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: What did it benefits the gym's and crystals? Yeah, crystals 382 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: are such a beautiful accompaniment. And you know, I think 383 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: there's there's so much education around mindfulness that has to 384 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: happen for the bipop community because it's so much of 385 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: it is misunderstood or people were giving given false narratives 386 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: through different systems of belief of what to stay away from. 387 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: But people don't really even know, you know, what these 388 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: things are, what they do. And I think crystals are 389 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: such a beautiful accompaniment to whatever work that you're doing. 390 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: They harness so much beautiful energetic power um And it's 391 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: believed that you know, crystals different crystals. There's hundreds, you know, 392 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: sometimes into the thousands. Even though those aren't readily available, 393 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: but there's so many to choose from, and they all 394 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: emanate energy, you know, energy, the fact that we possess it, 395 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: the fact that we're made of it, the fact that 396 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: you know we're able to radiate it. Everything that exists 397 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: holds that. And you know the thing with crystals, as 398 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: their ancients, they're as old as the earth is, so 399 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: they harness um, in my belief, so much beautiful divine 400 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: energetic power. And they're great accompaniment to the work and 401 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: so great starter crystals for people, um that are looking 402 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: to kind of start on the crystal journey. Got it 403 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: in my book, but I would say, grab some amethysts, 404 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: grab some clear courts, grab some sutrine. Those are great 405 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: stones to start with to really start inviting in some 406 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: new energies before we get into the meditation. Do you 407 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: get upset when you see people who seem to be like, 408 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, using it's like performative wellness. You know, there's 409 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: they're selling crystals, they're they're practices, they're they're teaching mindfulness 410 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: and like, but they really haven't done the work. Yeah, 411 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I wanted to say, I get 412 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: upset about it. I think it's dangerous for the people 413 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: that are perhaps spending money or buying into things with 414 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,239 Speaker 1: someone who just isn't ready to teach. Yet. I think 415 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: we all possess the ability to be teachers and guides 416 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: for other people based on the work that we do. 417 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: But this is the era of the expert, right, Like 418 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: this is the era where everybody is marketing themselves and 419 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: selling themselves, and so I just think it's important that 420 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: if you do feel called to be in this field, 421 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: you do the work. You know. It's not like I 422 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: didn't just wake up and say, you know what, forget ready, 423 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: forget this, I'm gonna start teaching and I'm gonna just 424 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: start talking, you know. I really I've been researching. I've 425 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: been doing certification programs all over the world for the 426 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: last eight years. Like I am deeply processed, and I 427 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: just think that's important. And but I think this field, 428 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: along with any other fields, you have your tears, right, 429 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: you have like your real, deep, authentic people with excellence. 430 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: You have people that are maybe okay, you have mediocre. 431 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: Then you have people that are scamming, you know, But 432 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: that's the case with every single industry and anything that 433 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: people do. So It's just important to vet the people 434 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: that you want to learn from and really make sure 435 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: that they're walking what they talk, really make sure that 436 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: they have the right tools, because when you do this 437 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: trauma work, it's so sacred. You don't want to open 438 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: people up to this raw space and then not have 439 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: the tools to help them navigate through it. And you know, 440 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: Dev is really done to work. And you know what, 441 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: I mentioned things like you know your house right, I 442 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: do that for a reason because I literally have slept 443 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: on Dev's couch. You know what I'm saying. Dev is 444 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: literally slept on my couch, like literally in real life, 445 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So to see us go 446 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: from that to where we are now, that should be celebrated. 447 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: And we and we both did it by pursuing our passions. 448 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: I remember when you told me like, I'm I'm not 449 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: doing radio no more. I want to go help people. 450 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: I want to go help people heal. And that could 451 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: have been a tough decision, but that clearly what your 452 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: life's work. Yeah, And you know, and I say it 453 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: this to say like we're all helping people heal. It's 454 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: just I knew I was called to do it in 455 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: a new way. But you guys help people heal on 456 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: the radio every single day in major ways. I see 457 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: a'all comments like you are literally changing lives. But and 458 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: I will say, when I was in Houston, I remember 459 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: you were like, come over the house, and then you 460 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: wanted us to like play this game. It wasn't really 461 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: a game, but we went over to your house and 462 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, now I want you to write 463 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: down like you were doing that early on. So the 464 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: progression and dedication to the work is amazing. Thank you, Angela. Yes, 465 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: Angela came over and we played this game called the Wish, 466 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: which is all about manifestation, and we had crystals as 467 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: our little board pieces. I was like, okay, now write down, 468 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: write down your dreams, and then we're gonna You know, 469 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: I trust you because if it would have anybody, I 470 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: don't know, I'm out of being like, all right, are 471 00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: we gonna do a shot after each one? The do 472 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: some meditation death what were doing? Okay? All right, everybody 473 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: go ahead and gently close your eyes, get as comfortable 474 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: as you possibly can, whatever that means for you, and 475 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: just take a moment to experience yourself inside of your body. 476 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: So crack your neck if you need to kind of 477 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: shift your shoulders. Just notice where you may be holding 478 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: any tension, any stiffness, and just set an intention to 479 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: soften and to really relax. And now let's focus on 480 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: our breathing. Go ahead and take a few deep breaths 481 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: in through your nose, hold it at the top, and 482 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: then exhale through your nose. And let's do that another time. 483 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: Inhale through your nose, big deep inhale, and now go 484 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: ahead and exhale, and now you can return to just 485 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: a beautiful natural breath, just gently letting the air come 486 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: in and out, really nourishing your body, breathing in so 487 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: much vital energy and love, and then exhaling any energy 488 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: that store that doesn't serve you. And as we sit 489 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: in this space, just focused on that breath, feeling really 490 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: grateful for this moment.
