Our intro 19 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: is pretty fire. I love listening to that. Sometimes I 20 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: did with my eyes closed. One of my dearest friends, 21 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: Namdi okafor who's an immensely talented poet, created that piece 22 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: for me. UM, I guess yeah, let me just do 23 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: like a little Easter egg behind the scenes right now. 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: He created that poem for me. And you know, my 25 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: inspiration for it was when I was in college. The 26 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: Common b album UM had just come out, and or 27 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: I had just discovered it at that time, I don't remember, 28 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: but it was one of my favorite projects. And at 29 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: that time, I had this hour long commute going to 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: school every day and I would listen to it on CD, 31 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: just over and over and over again. And one of 32 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: my favorite parts was towards the end the Pops reprised 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: piece where that was that you know, really gorgeous speaking 34 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: over music and it was like, you know, be be 35 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: the fish that swims the fastest out of five hundred thousand, 36 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: and you know, UM, it just always brought me hope 37 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: when I heard it. So when I decided to do 38 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: this podcast last year, which shout out to us this 39 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 1: is our one year anniversary. UM.

And I know probably a lot of 58 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: people listening are familiar if you are not, Tracy G 59 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: is a phenomenal woman who is just a light in 60 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: the world. She's co host on This Way in the 61 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: Morning show on Sirius x M. She has an amazing 62 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: brand called She's Beating and be She does gorgeous affirmations. 63 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean, she is just one of the most poetic 64 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: people I've ever met and truly has a divine gift 65 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: um for using words to create connections of just true depth. 66 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: So I adore her, I celebrate her work, um, and 67 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: I just love knowing her and having the beautiful sisterhood 68 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: that I have with her. So when a lot of 69 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: this stuff first kicked off, all of these hashtag Rona things, um, 70 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, she and I were both in a similar 71 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: headspace where we were like, how can we serve right now? 72 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: You know what, what is a way that we can 73 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: connect with people and just really have beautiful sharing and 74 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: beautiful conversation. And so she and I decided to do 75 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: a zoom meditation, uh and we I believe we ended 76 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: up doing the meditation with about five hundred people live 77 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: um or at least that's as many as registered for 78 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: it for this meditation. And it was a mixture of 79 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: me leading a meditation and Tracy leading a really gorgeous 80 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: affirmation session with these affirmations that she created that literally 81 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 1: brought me to tears. So it was a really special moment. 82 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: It helped me, I think maybe more than I'm assuming 83 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: it helped other people because I didn't realize until we 84 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: finished how much I personally really needed that moment um. 85 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: It really helped me get grounded. It was a reminder 86 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: for me and the first you know, weak or so 87 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: of this enforced social isolation. It was a reminder for 88 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: me how desperately um, my spirit craves being connected to 89 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: the things that set it on fire, you know, um. 90 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: And it really helped me set the tone for what 91 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: I would be doing with my social isolation and really 92 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: kind of lit a fire under me to keep creating 93 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: so that I didn't get sat stagnant and dragged down 94 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: by some of the xiety of this moment that we're 95 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: all having as humans. So we did this beautiful meditation 96 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: and I decided to share it with you on this episode. 97 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: So I'm about to click play on it, and we 98 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: are going to get started on this really beautiful about 99 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: forty five minute affirmation and meditation session. And Tracy and 100 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: I also really kind of explored our thoughts on everything 101 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: going on, and we answered some questions that came up 102 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: in the zoom and there were some really deeply insightful 103 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: things that happened in that zoom chat that you'll be 104 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: able to listen in onto. So my recommendation for listening 105 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: to this episode is to go somewhere really comfortable, really 106 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: private if that's possible, um and really quiet if that's 107 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: possible for you. I definitely recommend listening to this episode, 108 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: maybe with your headphones, if you know you've got some 109 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: little ones running around the house, or just you know, 110 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: some noise happening in any kind of I get some 111 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: headphones or put this on in like your your beats 112 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: pill or you know, whatever kind of speaker system you have, 113 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: because I really want this audio to engulf you. I 114 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: really want you to imagine as you're doing this meditation 115 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: that this audio is hugging you very deeply and supporting you. 116 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: And get comforty, sit comfortably where something comfortable. Remember to 117 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: just be relaxed as best as you can. And here 118 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: we go.

We ask that 127 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: you please beam light into us, use us, flow through us, 128 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: Allow your divine will and peace to seep out of us, 129 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: and guide us as we connect with your beautiful fellow children. 130 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: Please help us to be grounded.

We humbly ask God that we are 133 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: allowed to serve in this moment and create a grounding, 134 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: safe place for the people we are connected with. We 135 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: asked for this or something better for the highest good 136 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: of ourselves and those connected to us. Amen. And then 137 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah. I 138 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: definitely need this just as much for myself as I 139 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: need to like share this with others. You know. I 140 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: I really realized when I was reading your affirmations and 141 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: I read that one about the inner child, and I 142 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: literally my eyes like filled with water, and I was like, Oh, 143 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: I really need this. Girl. I was like, Okay, vulnerability, 144 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you take lead. I don't want to 145 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: like because you know, sometimes if our work very sneakily, 146 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: it could become performative, you know, especially because we're now 147 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: using our voice in a different way. We're in the 148 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: beginning it was a performance, you know what I mean 149 00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: in radio? It's so true. Yeah, And so I always 150 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: just have to like, even for instance, like um shooting 151 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: out to you if we should have this on zoom 152 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: or on Instagram, and the reason why I wanted to 153 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: have it on Zoom private, even though like I realized 154 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: with Instagram and it can't Instagram live and it can 155 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: be great because so many people in that moment can 156 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: come in and it's very easy and accessible and we 157 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: got to do all these other like x y Z 158 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: type of spin moves. But sometimes just being on I 159 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: G Live, I have to ask myself, is there any 160 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: part of me that just wants to be seen doing 161 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: mm hmmm? Does that make sense? And so if you know, 162 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: and if there and if there is a sprinkle of that, 163 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: then I'm like, okay, Tracy, like let's recalibrate, like what 164 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: is the actual intention of this? And I was like, okay, 165 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: we need privacy right now because a lot of our 166 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: emotions are coming. Yes, it's great that we're all home 167 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: and you can connect, but there's also like a hyper connectivity. Yeah, 168 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: Like I've been seeing how so many of us are 169 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: on like social media way more. Yeah, during a pandemic, 170 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: and I think for two, like for light work like this, 171 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: it's just so important that we honor the space. Like 172 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: this is a little bit different than like maybe if 173 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: we're sharing like a yoga practice on live or something 174 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: that pop in or out of Like we really want 175 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: to seal this off and hold space, so we don't 176 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: want people popping in popping out getting distractive with the 177 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: comments like that exactly that be those comments during I 178 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: G Live.

I have a side of myself if that 253 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: is ready like the soldier, and then Beyonce just comes 254 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: in like visual, no matter what, We're gonna slay through 255 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: this ship like that. It's all of these feelings, especially 256 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: because when I listened to it, Beyonce has moments and 257 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: Coachella where and just all of her albums where she's 258 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: very vulnerable, you know what I'm saying. But no matter what, 259 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: and we know that vulnerability can just a lot of 260 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: times feel really crappy because you're gifting it to someone 261 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: who may not be responsible in your eyes, with such 262 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: a fragile state that you're currently in, right, it feels 263 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: like they have all this power to harm you and 264 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: not help you. But the fact is all of these 265 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: dark moments and Beyonce's life and the obvious light whatever, 266 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: but they all are ingredients that mixed together create the 267 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: most fucking powerful tour. The understand it saying like it 268 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: was so necessary for the personal heartbreak that this woman 269 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: went through, like the turmoil and when you look at 270 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: it in isolation for her and whatever those mirror experiences 271 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 1: for ourselves are. They suck. But then when you zoom out, 272 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: when you look at it as an ingredient and not 273 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: the final product, just an ingredient, It's like, wow, look 274 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: at the potential of this. Does that make sense? To 275 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: know that it doesn't make sense a thousand percent? Yeah, 276 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: I think especially when we got to see that behind 277 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 1: the scenes, look at how she crafted that performance, and 278 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: you're really understanding like the mental fortitude, the resilience that 279 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: it took. It was such a mental, emotional, spiritual and 280 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: physical transformation for her. The recipe for like a divine 281 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: shift in unlocking that level of pressure that you spoke 282 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: to UM, And that's us this moment right like exactly 283 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: very literally us. It's we are we have this really 284 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: aside from some of the stressors, aside from maybe some 285 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: of our fears around our basic needs UM and our 286 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: futures and the uncertainty obviously you know, we have this 287 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: really gorgeous, gorgeous opportunity in this moment to become something 288 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: we've never been, you know, And it's so rare for 289 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: those moments. A lot of us get to those moments 290 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: and spurts usually through pain usually through something um, really 291 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: frightening um or really difficult and challenging, and if we 292 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: kind of stay connected to ourselves, we're able to push through. 293 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: And we have this evolution, this new version. And I 294 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: think in this moment especially, there's such a gorgeous opportunity 295 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: to come on the other side of this in a 296 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks and a couple of months so profoundly different, 297 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: aren't so elevated, so evolved um, and really unlock layers 298 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: of ourselves we haven't seen yet. You know, this is 299 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: like this it's a divine time out kind of. You know, 300 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: it's like God said, I need you to sit and process. 301 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: And I think a layer and I know we talked 302 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 1: about this tracy like a layer UM that I think 303 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: will help kind of put this into perspective is over 304 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: the last three years, we have been experiencing growth at 305 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: such a fast pace collectively societally, we have been unpacking trauma. 306 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: We've been having high level, difficult conversations about things that 307 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: have played us as humans since the dawn of humanity. Right, 308 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: Like that's no small feet, that's heavy. More like these conversations, 309 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: this trauma, everything from the Me Too movement you know, 310 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: addressing misogyny, addressing Ray says m addressing you know, gender 311 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: biases like sexuality, Like, we are having conversations that none 312 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: of our elders had collectively as a society ever since 313 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: the dawn of time. Right, But there's a big piece 314 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: in that because we are learning the phrases, we're learning 315 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: the words, we're learning what the feelings mean. But we're 316 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: not given this space to process. And the most important 317 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: ingredient for the recipe of growing self is process. So 318 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, for me, I kind of and and granted 319 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: I want to share with everyone, like, yes, I'm all 320 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: about that peace life, and I do have a lot 321 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: of tools, but I also in taking this moment by moment, 322 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: you know, I'm experiencing disappointment, I'm experiencing a little bit 323 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: of grief, I'm experiencing some fear. But when I kind 324 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: of reframe it for myself, I say, wow, you know 325 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: this is truly collectively we could be creating an entirely 326 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: new world in this Come on man, absolutely, Debbie, thank 327 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: you for all of that.

If 329 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: we've always been conditioned to look at timeouts as space 330 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: for punishment, you know what I mean. But also a 331 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: timeout is space for enhancements. You know, like think about 332 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: how in order to like reflect, you have to slow down, 333 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: like things have to kind of disintegrates, evaporate, just shut 334 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,239 Speaker 1: off or at least pause for a second, because of 335 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,719 Speaker 1: all the different voices that are outside of us and 336 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: our inner voice or the way that I receive God personally. 337 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: And y'all let me know if you're relate. But God 338 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: has all the patients in the world, so he, she, 339 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: or they ain't gonna yell yeah, they go yo, They're 340 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: just gonna wait for us to figure out that it 341 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: is time to be quiet. Yeah. Yeah. And you know 342 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: a tracy the thing that comes up in that, I 343 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: think for people that that makes it a little more 344 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: charged and difficult. So many of us are not used 345 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,479 Speaker 1: to ever spending time with ourselves, and that's where so 346 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: much fear comes. And now you're locked in a room 347 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: with a stranger, you know, my gosh, Yes, and there's 348 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: a stranger that's been family this entire time. And you 349 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: know what I often say is that strangers are just 350 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: family you have yet to meet. Yeah, Yeah, strangers are 351 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: just families have still love, there's still the frequency of love. 352 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: We are still all children of the divine, you know. 353 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: There we are still interconnected with pieces of each other. 354 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: So that stranger so like is glorious version of you 355 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: that you haven't tapped into yet. And you know, it's 356 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: like all of us, it's like when we really look 357 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: at this this divine time out, we are stripped of 358 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: everything that could be an obstacle in us meeting the 359 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: deepest parts of ourselves. So so many of us can 360 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: spend our entire lives never meeting ourselves because we are 361 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: being distracted. We are being distracted with things, with events, 362 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: with family, with the roles that we play for people 363 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: with job titles, right, and so we just keep piling 364 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: and piling. Now, everything that you ever thought gave you 365 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: worth is being taken from you. Now, every type of 366 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: performance based lifestyle, curation, conversation, it is being stripped from you. 367 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: And you have the opportunity to really really know yourself 368 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: and your value system and yeah, and and be able 369 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: to have the time to to create edits because so 370 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: many of us have just been on autopilots. Yeah, and 371 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: so until the car itself runs out of gas, that's 372 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: when you realize, Yo, I don't even like this caruman anymore. 373 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: I don't even like this trip I'm headed towards anymore. 374 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: You understand saying yeah, you know. Yeah, of you guys 375 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: who are familiar with myself, you know that, Like my 376 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: love language is analogies. That's just how I'm able to understand. 377 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: I think, DEVI should we give it two more minutes 378 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: till three fifteen? How does that feel for you? Yeah, 379 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: that's great. Let me check in on a couple of 380 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: these comments. Yeah, and that's that. Yeah, Yeah, this is 381 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: really the moment. I'm very in alignment with that vhs um. 382 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: This is the moment to access levels of self awareness 383 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: you've never touched before, you know. And as with all 384 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: new things, and it's just human nature. It's like we 385 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: can be everything at once. We are souls and spirits 386 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: having a human experience, but we also have to lean 387 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: into the fact that we are half human, you know, 388 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: like our humanity is very real and it's okay to 389 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: experience the full emotional spectrum of what being a human is, 390 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: you know. Um. So it's like we have to lean 391 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: into that fear. We have to also call it out 392 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: by name. And that's the thing that I think will 393 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: be super important during this time. Don't feel ashamed for feeling. 394 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: Don't be a tent of yourself for feeling. Call out 395 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: what that feeling is. Give yourself the power back by 396 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: calling it out by name check in with yourself. I'm 397 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: feeling disappointed, I'm feeling scared, I'm feeling like I don't 398 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: know who I am right now, and that terrifies me, 399 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, and then dig a little deeper. When did 400 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: that feeling first come up for you? What other parts 401 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: of life have you experienced that feeling in Let's start 402 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: giving more depth to our emotional language so that we 403 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: can understand it, process it, and then dissolve it and 404 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: be done with it. Right, completely agree, And you're not 405 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: getting any answers without questions, So and so okay to 406 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable with self inquiry because we've got a lot 407 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: of time to find comfort within it. Yeah, come on, Dabby, 408 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: you already know we want to know everything about everybody 409 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: else on a daily basis. Right, That's why people are 410 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: lacking possip instagrams. That's why we watch news and TV 411 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: and reality shows. That's why we're detectives, you know, to 412 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: be um.

So we're gonna get into a little 519 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: bit of chronic breathing and do some deep breaths. I 520 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: wanted to share with you guys the crystals that I 521 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: have out for this. This is Crysticola. I love this 522 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: stone and this kind of really invokes and you can 523 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: kind of see it on it a little bit. This 524 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: kind of really invokes like divine flow, like fluidness of water. 525 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: This real gentle guiding UM on your journey, really connects 526 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: to some of your interior wisdom. And then I also 527 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: have this piece of Herkimer diamond UM, which really connects 528 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: you to some divine clairvoyance. So this is like a 529 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: crystal that is all about tapping into the deepest layer 530 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: of that beautiful intuition that we have been gifted by 531 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: source UM and really unlocking UM some of our spiritual 532 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: guides and creating some channels for them to speak to 533 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: us a little more clearly. And then after we do 534 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: some of this breathing, I am going to invite you 535 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 1: to open your eyes before we start the meditation because 536 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: I have a couple of things I want to share. 537 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: Then we're going to close our eyes. Then we're gonna meditate. 538 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: All right, So right now, let's sit really comfortably wherever 539 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: you're at. Um, can everybody hear me? Okay, just like 540 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: give me like a thumbs up or a heart let 541 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: me know you can hear me. Yes, yes, yes, okay, 542 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: I see it. Perfect. So wherever you're sitting, if you're 543 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: at your computer chair right now, you're lounging on the floor. 544 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: Meditation is about being comfortable. Not sitting perfectly like this 545 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: though you can, um, but you know, like if this 546 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: is comfortable, if leaning on the wall is comfortable, then 547 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: do that whatever feels good. UM. Just try to make 548 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: sure you're not really holding any rigid space inside of you. 549 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: So let's gently close your eyes right now as we 550 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: do some breathing. Let's make sure that our shoulders are relaxed. 551 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: And even now, if you kind of want to do 552 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: some wiggling, throwing your shoulder backs. Do a couple of 553 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: shoulder rolls right now. I just want you to invite 554 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: in a feeling of loosening, a feeling of being undone. 555 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: That's a little bit. If you feel like your tongue 556 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: is pressed against the roof of your mouth, just gently 557 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: let it go. M And we're gonna do theories of 558 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: five breaths. And as we do this breath, we're gonna 559 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: inhale really fully, imagining our lungs filling like balloons, just 560 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: really inviting in some expansiveness. And then we're gonna hold 561 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: that breath at the top for a few seconds, and 562 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna release with an out loud side. It will 563 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: sound something like this. I know that might sound a 564 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: little extra, but you're probably by yourself. We're socially isolated, 565 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: so just really have fun with that. Like, as you're 566 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: releasing through your mouth, I really want you to envision 567 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: that things are coming out of you. You know that 568 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: any trapped energy, any stagnant energy, is being loosened and 569 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 1: released from your body, from your cells, from your heart, 570 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: from your shoulders, from your organs. Let's really purge out. 571 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 1: Let's gently beautifully release these things that don't serve us. 572 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: So we're gonna do this five times. Eyes are gently closed. 573 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: We're sitting really comfortably, and let's inhale through our noses 574 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: and expand as deeply as we can't those beautiful lungs. 575 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: Let's inhale O hold release with sigh. We're gonna do 576 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: that four more times. Let's inhale m hm, inhale mm hmm. 577 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: We have two more times to do this. As we 578 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: do this, I really want you to fill those gorgeous, 579 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: life giving, vital energy lungs. Filled them to capacity. Hold 580 00:39:49,520 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: at the top, exhale with relief. Inhale. Oh and if 581 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: it feels good on this last one. Was still sitting comfortably, 582 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: eyes gently closed as we exhale. You can even throw 583 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: your head back with that side. That feels okay, let's 584 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: inhale mm hmm. Let's continue to sit comfortably. I still 585 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: gently closed, body still nice and relaxed. When I was 586 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: getting ready for this session today, I cleansed my space, 587 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 1: I lit some coppol I cleared the energy. I was 588 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: really deliberate and purposeful in trying to release any stagnant 589 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: energy that has gotten maybe stuck or trapped in the 590 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: last few days, um, the last couple of weeks for me, 591 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 1: of this social isolation, this collective undoing and unpacking and unlearning. 592 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: I then pulled some of my archetype cards, and I 593 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: really kind of as spirit to guide me on the 594 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,280 Speaker 1: correct cards that needed to come up for this moment 595 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 1: and to fill them in that energetic space with light. 596 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: And the cards that came up were The first one 597 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: was the archetype of eternal Child, which brings forth the 598 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:40,240 Speaker 1: energy of determination to remain young in body, mind and spirit, 599 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: and the ability to see all things with fresh new eyes. 600 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: I really love that archetype because that brings forth this 601 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: space that we're in. We are all novices to what's 602 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: happening in this unprecedented moment in history. Let's surrender to 603 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: some of that newness. It's okay to not know it all, 604 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: to not have it all figured out. The second archetype 605 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: car card that I pulled that came up was the 606 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: archetype of the Liberator. The liberator mm hmm, freeing yourself 607 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: and others from outmoded beliefs, releasing negative thought patterns. This 608 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: is the perfect time for that, bringing freedom to self, 609 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: gently releasing and dissolving anything that's outdated, any core beliefs 610 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: that are outdated that don't serve us, releasing any narratives 611 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 1: or negative thought patterns in this moment, releasing judgment of self, 612 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,720 Speaker 1: liberating self and those connected to us. And the final 613 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: card that I pulled from my archetype deck was the 614 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: alchemist transformation of base motives and goals and turning them 615 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: into golden wisdom. We are the scientists right now. We 616 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: are the spiritual scientists of self. We are the divine 617 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: alchemists in our lives, creating these recipes, these beautiful calculations 618 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: and potions of unlocking and transformation, turning something into something else, 619 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 1: turning that coal into a diamond into gold. So now, 620 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: for anyone that maybe gazed a little bit right now, 621 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,399 Speaker 1: I invite everyone to gently close their eyes, to sit 622 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: really comfortably for this guided meditation, and I'm just gonna 623 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: walk you through a couple of thoughts and create some 624 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: space for that stillness and silence. And if you would, 625 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: what I'd really like you to connect with as we 626 00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: do this guided meditation we're looking to experience is known 627 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,240 Speaker 1: in meditation as the gap. This space that can last 628 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: for just seconds, maybe even milliseconds that exists between one 629 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:17,320 Speaker 1: thought and the next thought. It's the space of pure potentiality, 630 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: the space that means everything and nothing at the same time. 631 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 1: A lot of people stay away from meditation because they 632 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: say to themselves, I think too much. There's no way 633 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: for me to stop thinking. And to that, I say, 634 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: you are a human being. We average five thousand thoughts 635 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: a day. You're not the only one. We all do that. 636 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,320 Speaker 1: We're looking for those little micro moments, those brief moments 637 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 1: of pure potentiality between one thought and the next. That's it. 638 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: So just kind of really sit in some of this silence, 639 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: and I want you to observe yourself and these are 640 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: the kind of moments that you're going to be looking 641 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: to recreate as we move forward in the social isolation. 642 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: Look for those moments between thoughts where limitless potential exists. 643 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: Eyes gently closed, we're sending comfortably. Take a moment, and 644 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: with your eyes gently closed, I want you to try 645 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:26,399 Speaker 1: to look at the tip of your nose. For many 646 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: of you, that feels like a physical response to zoning in, 647 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 1: to really being able to focus in this beautiful field 648 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: of expansion. So whenever you feel yourself drifting away as 649 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,760 Speaker 1: we talk. Just try again to look at the very 650 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: tip of your nose with your eyes still gently closed, 651 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: and remember to breathe. Breathe in and out through your nose. 652 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: When you breathe in and out through your nose, you're 653 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: really giving yourself permission to access this deeper, vital energy 654 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: that is so nourishing to your body, mind, and soul. 655 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: I want to bring forth right now the idea from 656 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:18,399 Speaker 1: the Seven spiritual Laws of success, of the law of detachment, 657 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 1: a space where you are not forcing solutions, you are 658 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: allowing them to spontaneously emerge.
