Speaker 3: Sabrina, welcome back.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 4: Hi, thank you so much for having me. I'm absolutely

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: elated to be on the air with you. Thank you.

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: It's been five years. Where have you been, Oh.

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 4: Geez, busy doing witchcraft stuff, writing books and helping people. Honestly,

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 4: it's what I spend a lot of my time doing,

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: and that's what I've been up to.

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 3: How did you become a witch?

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: So it's a long story, but the very short version

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 4: is I grew up in something called spiritualism, which means

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 4: I grew up with seances and mediums and people doing

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: energy healings on the congregation and so growing up around

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: all of that, it did not take me that long

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: to get interested in witchcraft. So I was. I grew

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: up with a lot of witchcraft was normal, magic was normal,

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 4: mediumship was pretty typical. So that's the short version.

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: When we think of magic, a lot of us think

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: of magicians with Dexa cards doing special things and stuff

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: like that. Magic is different from that, isn't.

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 4: It It is. I do respect what those folks do

29
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: because it can definitely be very entertaining. But the type

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: of magic that I do is it's not quite about

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: sleight of hand and performance. It's much more about actually

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: creating energetic shifts, whether that is internally or externally, helping

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: people become happier, healthier, and also the fund stuff like

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: getting a new job, a new lover, all of that

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 4: type of thing. So it really is about creating lasting

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 4: change in people's lives rather than a momentary bit of entertainment.

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: Is magic supposed to be sabrina positive and uplifting, you

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: know what?

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 4: Most of the time I would say yes, But I

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 4: do want to be honest and say that sometimes we

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: do have to protect ourselves with magic. If we're in

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: a bad situation, if we're feeling a bit unsafe, or

43
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: we are experiencing negativity, sometimes we are going to have

44
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 4: to do some more protective magic. Let's say, or sometimes

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: even clap back, so to speak at someone who is

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 4: trying to make our life a little bit difficult. That's

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: not what we do all the time. But just like

48
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: real life magic, it takes the whole spectrum.

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: What is black magic? Oh my?

50
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: So I do get asked this a lot, and I

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: think when people use that phrase black magic, what they

52
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: usually mean is magic that is done to harm people

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: or to be nasty for no reason. Yeah, that is

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: kind of the pop culture way of looking at it.

55
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: The way that I see it is that magic actually

56
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 4: doesn't have a color, and depending on our intention, it

57
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: just takes on that type of vibration. So it might

58
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: make sense, let's say, to do a protection ritual, or

59
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: to do a ritual that is a little bit more

60
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: aggressive if someone is attacking you. If you're going to

61
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: defend yourself against someone in a mundane situation, sometimes magic

62
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: can help with that as well. So it really is

63
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: all about perspective and context is a way I try

64
00:03:59,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: to think about it.

65
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: How does religion handle magic, Sabrina, That's a good question.

66
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: I do feel that magic is non denominational, so I

67
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: do think that no matter what your religion is, you

68
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: can absolutely work with witchcraft and magic within that. Not

69
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: everyone's going to agree with me on that, but that's

70
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 4: how I feel. I feel like magic is basically energy work,

71
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: and so anyone can work with energy, no matter what

72
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 4: their religion is, whether they're Christian, Jewish, Atheist, Mormon, anything,

73
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 4: anyone can work with witchcraft and magic.

74
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: In my opinion, Can you be harmed by magic?

75
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, I do see it happen, and a big part,

76
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: not a big part, but at least a little bit

77
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: of my professional practice is helping people heal from that

78
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: and undo some negative impacts, let's say, of the evil

79
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: or just bad vibes being thrown their way. So absolutely.

80
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: Now when we think a witchcraft lately, I think of Wicca,

81
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: a religion which is pretty up beat, so it's very nice,

82
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: there's nothing evil about it.

83
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: Are you a Wickan.

84
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 4: I'm not a Wickan, but I'm glad that you brought

85
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 4: up Wicca because just in case your listeners aren't a where.

86
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 4: Wicka was founded in the nineteen fifties in England, pretty interesting,

87
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: very nature based religious practice, and it was actually responsible

88
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: for bringing a lot of witchcraft into popular culture. So

89
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: once Wicca was founded, we really do see a big

90
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: resurgence of the witch in pop culture, which is pretty cool,

91
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: but not all which is our wickan personally, I am

92
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 4: not a big aspect of wicked practice is being very

93
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: doosistic and working with gods and goddesses and they work

94
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 4: with covens, and that there's a particular way of doing

95
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: things and a particular hierarchy, and the way that I

96
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: personally practice is a little bit less to do with

97
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 4: all of that. So I would rather work with ancestor

98
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: spirits and the occasional saints and working with the energies

99
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: of the land different.

100
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 2: But has Hollywood tanked witchcraft? You think of the Wizard

101
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: of Oz and the handling Gretel and stuff like that.

102
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: You know what, it has a little bit, It has

103
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: a little bit, and so oftentimes I do have to

104
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: kind of undo some of those assumptions and preconceived notions

105
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 4: that people might have due to some of the films

106
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: in Hollywood. But you know, I enjoy Harry Potter as

107
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 4: much as the next person, even though it's absolutely got

108
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: nothing to do with with the witchcraft that I practice.

109
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: What about curses? Where do they originate from?

110
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: Curses? Man? There's so much to say about curses, the

111
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: origin of them, I can't quite tell you. I'm sure

112
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: there are curses though in every single spirituality around the world.

113
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 4: Everyone's always wanting to get back at people who have

114
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: harmed them, and that often tends to be what I've

115
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: experienced the origin of curses to be. It's often just

116
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: coming from a place of wanting to either protect yourself

117
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: or to get yourself ahead. So again, I do think

118
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 4: it is mainly contextual, but I generally advise that folks

119
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: don't practice cursing. It's often a much better use of

120
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: our time to focus on ourselves.

121
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: Why do people kind of take woodchcraft with evil. It's

122
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: not necessarily the case at all, No, not at all,

123
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: but people tie that in.

124
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: Why I do think again, it's the pop culture piece.

125
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: So you do see a lot of witches featured in

126
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: horror movies and freaky scary movies, and there tends to

127
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: be a lot of gore and supernatural horror, and I

128
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: totally respect that as a genre, but I definitely do

129
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: think it is at least partly responsible for these misconceptions.

130
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: So I think that's one aspect of it, and then

131
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: the other aspect I think is a lot of times,

132
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: people are really afraid of what they don't really know

133
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: that much about, so it's easy to paint it with

134
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 4: that brush of evil. But the more we know about something,

135
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: the less likely we are to paint it with that brush.

136
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: Sabrina, how do you use witchcraft?

137
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 4: A lot of different ways. It depends on what I

138
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: want to get done, So my day to day tends

139
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: to be working with my ancestors a lot of prayer.

140
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 4: It isn't actually as fantastical looking as many people might

141
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: think just from pop culture and film. It usually just

142
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 4: looks like sitting in front of a few candles, closing

143
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 4: my eyes and meditating or visualizing or something of that nature.

144
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: But I've definitely done witchcraft and magic in the past

145
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: for various issues in my life, such as money, love,

146
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 4: finding a new home, attracting prosperity and luck, protection against

147
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: bad vibes. I've done cleansing magic whenever I've moved into

148
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: a new location or just had a bad experience and

149
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: wanted to get that bad energy off of me. So

150
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: you really can use it for a variety of things.

151
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 4: And one really fun way of working with magic I

152
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: think a lot of people aren't super aware of is

153
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 4: kitchen witchery, so different ingredients that we all are going

154
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 4: to be working with all the time anyway, since we

155
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: all have to eat a lot of these foods and

156
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: plants are associated with various things that we can bring

157
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: into our lives with magic. And it's all about intention

158
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: and energy. So it really is, in my perspective, just

159
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 4: a way of living our lives. It doesn't have to

160
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: look like waving a wand around and making potions, so

161
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: it absolutely can look like that. It can also just

162
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: look like living life with intention and being aware of

163
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: the energy that we are putting into the world and

164
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: working with the energy that we're noticing around us all

165
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 4: the time and shaping that with intention, so taking control

166
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 4: of our lives rather than being a passenger.

167
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: Can it be used for harm and something nefarious? Let

168
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: me give you an example. A worker guy, a coworker's

169
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: working with another coworker and the first co worker is

170
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: up for a promotion the second The second coworker wants

171
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: that job, so he wishes the first guy harm. I

172
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: want him sick, I want him dead, I want him

173
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: in an accident. Can Can can it work that way?

174
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yeah? Absolutely? I had work done on me in

175
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: that way quite a long time ago. This would have

176
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: been fifteen years ago.

177
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: Now, can you talk about it?

178
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely so. I had a friend at the time

179
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 4: who turns out was a little bit of a frenem

180
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: me I suppose you.

181
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: Could say, nice, right, Yeah.

182
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 4: I didn't know that until this happened. But I was

183
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: waiting to get this surgery that was a cosmetic thing,

184
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: shall we say, and I was really excited about it,

185
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: and thinking that she was my friend, I told her

186
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: all about it. I was so excited and leading up

187
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 4: to the surgery, I actually believed that she sent me

188
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: the evil Eye and sent me a lot of bad vibes.

189
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 4: I ended up getting very very sick and I just

190
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: completely out of nowhere. The doctors didn't really know what

191
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: it was. Thankfully, since I had that hunch that that's

192
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: what she was doing, I was able to do some

193
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: spiritual work on myself to just come completely clear all

194
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: of her bad vibes that she's sent towards me and

195
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 4: the evil Eye, and just really protect myself spiritually. And

196
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: as soon as I did that, I was able to

197
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 4: recover very very quickly within twenty four hours, and was

198
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: able to get the surgery with absolutely no complications. It

199
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: was completely fine. But if I did not look at

200
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: it from a spiritual perspective, I do think it's very

201
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: likely that I would have had to have rescheduled that procedure.

202
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 4: So I definitely do believe in the evil eye and

203
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: bad vibes and people throwing negative energy at people they're

204
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 4: jealous of, which I think that's what the case was

205
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: for me with this situation. I think she was just jealous,

206
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 4: and jealousy is a very powerful energy that oftentimes people

207
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: will throw around at each other, sometimes without even being

208
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: aware that they're doing it, which is why spiritual protection

209
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: work and spiritual hygiene, I feel is super super important

210
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 4: for everybody, regardless of if you consider yourself a witch

211
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: or not.

212
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 3: Well, goodness outweigh you evil most of the time.

213
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 4: I guess it depends on who you're asking.

214
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: You have a cute.

215
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you. I try to keep it positive, and

216
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 4: you know, I think working with witchcraft so much throughout

217
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 4: my life, it really does change your perspective and connect

218
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 4: you to your own agency. And I think when we

219
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: feel like capable of people in our own lives, capable

220
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: of creating change, it is easier to be a bit

221
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 4: of a happier, more jolly person. So I know that's

222
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 4: laughing all the time. For some people might think it's

223
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: a little bit odd, but it really just is a

224
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: natural way of life for me. Since I've really developed

225
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: this witchcraft practice, life just feels so much more fun

226
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: and enchanted and excited, and just the colors are bright,

227
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: everything looks fantastic and it's easy to feel like the

228
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 4: world is an exciting, fun place with magic.

229
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: Now, you just had I mentioned that if you didn't

230
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: have the ability to ward off the evil intent, it

231
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: could have harmed you. So what do we do with

232
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: people who don't have your ability to fight back?

233
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: Mmmmm yeah, absolutely. So this is a big reason why

234
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: I spend so much of my time teaching other people,

235
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: and I do offer consultation services with witchcraft where I

236
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 4: can actually do work for people. But what I much

237
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: prefer to do is to actually give people the tools

238
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: to do it themselves. Rather than to buying a fish

239
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 4: for me, I would rather teach you how to fish,

240
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: so to speak. And so I really do feel, whether

241
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: it's for me or someone else, it's so important for

242
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 4: folks to take that personal responsibility to learn about energy

243
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: and how to protects ourselves from negative vibes. And so

244
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: one of the ways that I will usually begin to

245
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 4: teach people about this is by using the very simple

246
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: example of Okay, have you ever walked into a room

247
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: and just felt a bad vibe?

248
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: Well?

249
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, most people will say yes. I've actually never had

250
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: anyone ever, even the most skeptical person, No one has

251
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 4: ever said no to that question. And so I'll use

252
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: that just to explain. Okay, so feeling the bad vibes,

253
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: that means that you were noticing the energy in the room.

254
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: So that means that you notice energy. Okay, that's amazing.

255
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: That basically proves the people that Okay, wow, there are

256
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 4: these vibes around. Sometimes I notice them, sometimes I don't.

257
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: And so the more you pay attention to it, the

258
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: more you tend to notice. And then following that noticing

259
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 4: what I call in my work energetic noticing, we can

260
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: then decide, Okay, do we want to leave the situation completely,

261
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: which sometimes makes sense to do that, but if it's

262
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: a workplace, let's stay. As opposed to, I don't know,

263
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: a bus that you're getting on and you're feeling a

264
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: bad vibe on the bus, it's very easy to get

265
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: off the bus and wait for the next one. But

266
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: if you feel a bad vibe at your workplace or

267
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: with family, obviously you can't exactly just leave. And so

268
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: in those situations, I tend to invite people to think

269
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 4: about spiritual protection. So that would be doing something, let's

270
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 4: say called shielding. There's so many different ways to protect

271
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 4: ourselves spiritually and energetically, but that would be a big one.

272
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: And so what's shielding. Basically, what we're doing is we're

273
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: creating an energetic force field around ourselves. And that energetic

274
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 4: force field, we can picture it as a big white

275
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: bubble or a different color of bubbles. And people like

276
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: to picture like a glowing pink ball around you, whatever

277
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 4: makes sense. We all have our favorite colors. Personally, I

278
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: love to picture a big glowing white ball around me.

279
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: And we're picturing that protecting us, and we're really focusing

280
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 4: on that, visualizing that, and the important part is to

281
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 4: visualize what happens when bad vibes come towards us, right,

282
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 4: And so what I always encourage my students to do

283
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: is to visualize the bad vibes coming towards us and

284
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 4: then bouncing right off. And so by doing that, we

285
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: get to pro what we call programming our shield to

286
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 4: protect us from bad energy. And so it does take

287
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 4: some time to get right. It might not go exactly

288
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 4: perfectly the first try, but with practice and with skill,

289
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 4: this is something that my students are able to do.

290
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 4: And it's a very very easy, magic one oh one

291
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 4: type of thing, and we can protect ourselves from those

292
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: negative energies with Oftentimes, I'm sure you've probably felt this too.

293
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 4: Some bad vibes can leach on to you and kind

294
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: of ruin your day, ruin your week. And so with

295
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 4: this type of spiritual hygiene practice, I just see it

296
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 4: as very similar to a spiritual version of brushing your teeth.

297
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: Got what I what I do is if I'm in

298
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 2: event or a room and I pick up this negative energy,

299
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: I try to diffuse it by going right at it,

300
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: trying in trying to make that individual who generally is negative,

301
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: upbeat and positive. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But

302
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: is that a smart thing for.

303
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: Me to do?

304
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: It's interesting that you ask that, Actually, so, have you

305
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 4: ever got the feeling to not do that or not? Always?

306
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 4: That's always a.

307
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: Tactic, it's almost always a tactic.

308
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: Have you ever felt sick? After doing that.

309
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: No, I've been lucky.

310
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 4: That's good. And you know what, that might not be luck.

311
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: That could actually be that you're already doing some kind

312
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 4: of spiritual protection to work on yourself just by being

313
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 4: a positive person.

314
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: Could it be an inherent in me? I was born

315
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: with them?

316
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 4: It could be. I do think some people are much

317
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: better at that than others, just naturally, and some people

318
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 4: have very poor spiritual boundaries just naturally. So it sounds

319
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 4: like you actually might have pretty decent spiritual boundaries just naturally.

320
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: That being said, I would pay attention to whenever you're

321
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 4: noticing that in the future, just take a moment to

322
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 4: feel what the energy is around that person. Is it malicious?

323
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 4: You might actually end up having let's say a one

324
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 4: hundred percent success rate and noticing, Okay, this person is

325
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: just negative. Nothing I do or say is going to

326
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 4: make them be positive, and so I know that this

327
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: person is not going to not going to be positive

328
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:58,800
