Speaker 1: Holy Human with Leanne Rhymes is a production of I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hello Everyone, Happy twenty twenty two. If you
Speaker 1: would have told me in two thousand, I would be
Speaker 1: saying I thought the world was ending. In two thousand,
Speaker 1: I think everybody did. I remember at midnight, I was
Speaker 1: hiding under a pool table because my friend Heath Ledger
Speaker 1: got blessed the soul. He had decided to turn all
Speaker 1: the lights off from the house and all the electricity
Speaker 1: and make it as a joke. Is like the world
Speaker 1: did it. And I truly believed it for about ten minutes.
Speaker 1: So so that was my If you would have told
Speaker 1: me then that we were gonna be saying two, I
Speaker 1: would have thought it was absolute bullshit. But I'm so
Speaker 1: excited we're here because I actually feel like two is
Speaker 1: going to be an incredible year. I am one of
Speaker 1: those people I used to be all about like starting
Speaker 1: the new year off with you know, new energy and
Speaker 1: all the things and all the resolutions, and last year
Speaker 1: broke me of that. I was like, I don't really
Speaker 1: have resolution and I could care less. And so wherever
Speaker 1: you are as we go into this episode, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say, wherever you are on your journey of I
Speaker 1: could care less or oh my god, it's a new year,
Speaker 1: it feels so good, just be there because it's fine
Speaker 1: either way. And honestly, I saw something on Instagram the
Speaker 1: other day and it said, just because it's a new
Speaker 1: year doesn't mean basically like anything's going to change unless
Speaker 1: you change. And so I do feel, however, there is
Speaker 1: this kind of shift of energy that happens that I
Speaker 1: personally this year unlike last year, and wanting to take
Speaker 1: advantage of. So I've had some time down after the holidays,
Speaker 1: and my favorite is between Christmas and New Year's because
Speaker 1: I feel like absolutely nothing is needed of me. I
Speaker 1: can actually just kind of go into my own world
Speaker 1: and through that portal, which is what I felt like
Speaker 1: it was this year. Through that portal, I've come out
Speaker 1: with some really clear lessons and understanding and vision for
Speaker 1: two and I feel really good about it. And so
Speaker 1: if you're with me, I thought that I would share
Speaker 1: what is inspiring me right now, what is inspiring me
Speaker 1: for the new year, and maybe something will land and
Speaker 1: inspire YouTube. So here goes all right, So let's dive in, everybody.
Speaker 1: So here's what two thousand and twenty two is all
Speaker 1: about you know me, I like to dive into everything.
Speaker 1: I like the numerology, I like the astrology. If you've
Speaker 1: followed me on a laim and you know like if
Speaker 1: it has if it can give me guidance in any
Speaker 1: way and connect with my spirit, my soul, then like
Speaker 1: more power to it. Bring it on. So Remington Donovan,
Speaker 1: who is a fantastic human being. He's an astrologist and
Speaker 1: just a mystic himself. He does a lot with mystical
Speaker 1: cabala and he usually teaches I think over the past
Speaker 1: three or four years, he's taught this beautiful course online
Speaker 1: every year. I highly recommend if you can go grab
Speaker 1: his course. I recommend doing it because it's so good
Speaker 1: and it just started clicking with me everything that he
Speaker 1: was saying. I'll give you a few little tidbits. It's
Speaker 1: the six year, which is adds up to six. Six
Speaker 1: is the year of the sun and yellow, the color yellow,
Speaker 1: which I was like, yeah, I was onto something just
Speaker 1: a year early. But it's the year of the sun.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because I have been drawn to the
Speaker 1: color yellow. I don't know if anybody else has been
Speaker 1: drawn to it. But Eddie got me a new pair
Speaker 1: of AirPods for Christmas and they're yellow. And then he
Speaker 1: got me a pair of tennis shoes that have gold
Speaker 1: on them, and it's like my whole Christmas, all my
Speaker 1: gifts were yelled low. And then I and then I
Speaker 1: find out it's the year of the sun and the
Speaker 1: color yellow, So I feel like I'm set. So if
Speaker 1: the color yellow is influencing your life right now, you
Speaker 1: kind of know why you're in tune with the six energy.
Speaker 1: It is also the year of destiny, which I found
Speaker 1: really beautiful. The five year. From what I've learned, the
Speaker 1: five year was supposed to be rough. It was the
Speaker 1: year of growth and learning a lot of lessons, and
Speaker 1: the six years kind of the opposite of that energy.
Speaker 1: It gives us a break, a breather, and if we
Speaker 1: are in alignment with our soul, when we get into
Speaker 1: alignment with the deepest part of ourselves, with our core,
Speaker 1: everything starts to kind of unfold. In this year, which
Speaker 1: I find really beautiful. I don't know if you believe
Speaker 1: in that. I would like to believe that, so I'm
Speaker 1: I'm rolling with it. That is a little bit of
Speaker 1: the numerology of this year, which I just love and
Speaker 1: I love that it's the year of destiny and for me,
Speaker 1: the way that life is unfolding for me at the moment,
Speaker 1: I truly believe that um when we align with our core,
Speaker 1: things will fall into place. Something I love to do
Speaker 1: is and I started doing in a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: but for some reason, it's like really becoming an embodied
Speaker 1: practice for me this year, and it's finding words for
Speaker 1: the year that are kind of my beacon, my guiding
Speaker 1: light of sorts. And usually there's three words for me.
Speaker 1: This year there's five, and these are my words. I
Speaker 1: would share them and I'll break them down for you
Speaker 1: because it was actually in the year's past I've kind
Speaker 1: of had them as my beacon and guiding light. But
Speaker 1: this year I've found that there are ways in which
Speaker 1: I am wanting to incorporate these indo my life, and
Speaker 1: they've already started showing up for me, and my soul
Speaker 1: is just basically showing me how it wants to be incorporated.
Speaker 1: And I also feel like these will expand as I
Speaker 1: go along. So I highly recommend if you feel called,
Speaker 1: if there's words that are calling you as a part
Speaker 1: of your journey right now, pay mine to that pay
Speaker 1: attention it could be you might not have ever done
Speaker 1: this before in your in your practice or as a practice.
Speaker 1: Just play with your soul, Play with your soul, play
Speaker 1: with your spirit. Just amuse it for just a moment
Speaker 1: and see what's popping up for you. And you might
Speaker 1: not know what it is stirring up at the moment,
Speaker 1: but if it's coming into your reality more than once,
Speaker 1: try it on for size, like get curious about it
Speaker 1: and see what, see what begins to unfold. My words
Speaker 1: this year are wild, sacred, joy, ease, and community, and
Speaker 1: each of those words here's how I'm breaking him down
Speaker 1: for myself. So wild is one that well, first off,
Speaker 1: it's actually I wrote a song about it that's going
Speaker 1: to be on my record. And I think it's a
Speaker 1: word that I've yet to fully step into and it's
Speaker 1: one that I believe will find me an unfold for
Speaker 1: me along the journey. I have been listening to this
Speaker 1: beautiful audio series by a man named Francis Weller, who
Speaker 1: I hope to get on this podcast a S a P.
Speaker 1: He calls himself a soul tracker and a soul activist,
Speaker 1: which I is just so beautiful and his he's such
Speaker 1: a poetic teacher, and he has truly been influencing my
Speaker 1: world deeply over this past few weeks. And one of
Speaker 1: the things he talks about is how we have suppressed
Speaker 1: the animal body, which I find so primal. There's this
Speaker 1: piece of myself that is coming out on my record
Speaker 1: that is true. We truly primal. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: you hear it and songs like throw my arms around
Speaker 1: the world, but there's this like primal place I'm singing from,
Speaker 1: and I think you know the way he speaks of
Speaker 1: it as down to like our scent of our body,
Speaker 1: the hair of our body, like everything we've kind of
Speaker 1: we've basically we've basically been so domesticated that we've forgotten
Speaker 1: in our humanity that we are there is an animalistic
Speaker 1: part of us that is very real, and it is
Speaker 1: very suppressed in most all of us. And so for me,
Speaker 1: the wild is about becoming more in tune or allowing
Speaker 1: that piece of myself to have a voice. And for me,
Speaker 1: what that's looking like so far is during a part
Speaker 1: of my menstrual cycle, there's a part of me that
Speaker 1: just really loud the other day, wanted to throw a
Speaker 1: temper tantrum like full on, and it was like, I
Speaker 1: actually kind of did. And then I told my husband.
Speaker 1: I was like, I need to throw temper champers RUMs.
Speaker 1: He goes, you mean, like one you just threw. I
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't throw a temper tantrum, but yes,
Speaker 1: it is like the one I just threw, and it
Speaker 1: and it needs to speak. And so that there's a
Speaker 1: part of me that is like this wild like anger, rage,
Speaker 1: like fierceness that needs to come through. And so I
Speaker 1: have in this part of my cycle, I have just
Speaker 1: recently discovered I need timber tantrums, and so I have.
Speaker 1: Now I will sit on the couch or on the
Speaker 1: floor and I would literally like just beat the floor.
Speaker 1: It feels so primal. It feels almost like, you know,
Speaker 1: like a gorilla like beating their chest. Like that's what
Speaker 1: that conjures up for me. And so when I'm done,
Speaker 1: it's like a whole like different energy just moved up
Speaker 1: and out of my body and now I can think
Speaker 1: clear and I can I don't have a I don't
Speaker 1: have this anger that I'm walking around with and projecting
Speaker 1: out into the world. I just allowed it to move
Speaker 1: through me. So for me, in this very beginning of
Speaker 1: the year, That's how the wild is showing up for me,
Speaker 1: and it's super powerful. So if that resonates, feel free,
Speaker 1: just say Leanne gave me the permission to have its
Speaker 1: ember dandrum. Just don't project it at anyone. Put it
Speaker 1: back into the mother Earth. She'll take it for us.
Speaker 1: The next word for me is sacred, and sacred is
Speaker 1: kind of this lens I'm starting to view my life through.
Speaker 1: It's starting out with my body and I'm really taking
Speaker 1: care of my body in this moment and recognizing, like,
Speaker 1: what a sacred vessel this is. It's taken me almost
Speaker 1: forty years to finally understand, like how sacred our vessel is.
Speaker 1: I'm cleaning out my body right now. I'm detoxing mercury
Speaker 1: and lead and all the things out, and it is
Speaker 1: such a process, but it's made me recognize this sacred
Speaker 1: journey that actually there's so much sacredness within the journey
Speaker 1: of me detoxing my body and coming home to myself.
Speaker 1: I'm recognizing how my voice is sacred, and how my
Speaker 1: energy is sacred, and my time is sacred, and just
Speaker 1: the fact that I wake up into a new day
Speaker 1: is sacred, Like how can how can I allow this
Speaker 1: through line of sacred to run my life. And like
Speaker 1: I said, it's a new lens in which I view
Speaker 1: things through. So I'm seeing the beauty and everything and
Speaker 1: the wholeness of who I am, in the ups and downs,
Speaker 1: in the joy and the depression, like and that can change.
Speaker 1: I can feel all of it within one day. I
Speaker 1: mean I can feel all of it within a few minutes.
Speaker 1: And it's the beauty of the journey of this being
Speaker 1: in this human body. Yeah, it's really powerful. I'm finding.
Speaker 1: This is another thing that I learned from the Francis
Speaker 1: weller Um audio series, which is called Living a Soulful
Speaker 1: Life and Why it matters. He talks about Mary Oliver,
Speaker 1: who is a beautiful poet, and someone had asked her
Speaker 1: how she has written all of these incredible poems, and
Speaker 1: she said that she kept her appointment. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. And what I've noticed for myself and why
Speaker 1: I'm shifting into this sacredness of my life is that
Speaker 1: I've been keeping my appointment with myself, with spirit, with soul,
Speaker 1: with other I've been showing up and not knowing or
Speaker 1: even having an expectation of what is supposed to show up.
Speaker 1: In the container of relationship or the container with myself.
Speaker 1: I've just been showing up and then accepting what is there.
Speaker 1: And so and this is a practice I've been really
Speaker 1: diving into with my voice, which is for me, my
Speaker 1: voice is like if it shows up in my voice,
Speaker 1: then I can and I work through it. In my voice,
Speaker 1: it works through every other part of my life. So
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate in that way to know that this
Speaker 1: is kind of like my through line if I can
Speaker 1: pinpoint it in my voice, like it connects. But I've
Speaker 1: been keeping the appointment with myself to show up to
Speaker 1: sing in gratitude of just the fact that I even
Speaker 1: have the gift. And that could look like two minutes,
Speaker 1: I could look like thirty minutes. But it's something that
Speaker 1: I do every day and it doesn't even need to
Speaker 1: have words. I just make sound. And so when I
Speaker 1: heard keeping the appointment, it made me realize that like
Speaker 1: every day I'm I'm keeping I'm keeping these appointments and
Speaker 1: keeping this vow to myself that is very sacred, and
Speaker 1: it's become very sacred to me. So that's my word.
Speaker 1: That's really that's probably the deepest word for me. That's
Speaker 1: kind of like the overarching view of the year. Joy.
Speaker 1: Joy has been showing up a lot for me, and
Speaker 1: it's also something I have to fight for. I have
Speaker 1: been incorporating it into my life by speaking of my
Speaker 1: joy when it is available, when it is showing up
Speaker 1: in the moment, not being afraid to be like, I
Speaker 1: feel so great, I think in the past, and I
Speaker 1: think this is probably something a lot of people can
Speaker 1: relate to. I have been afraid to speak joy into
Speaker 1: the world because I'm afraid it's going to go away
Speaker 1: and I'm afraid to lose it. And so now I'm like,
Speaker 1: the more I speak about it, like the more the
Speaker 1: more it shows up. And it's, like I said, it's
Speaker 1: something I have to fight for. Going through this detox
Speaker 1: process has been I'm in detoxing mercury in my body.
Speaker 1: I the mercury shows up as can be very agitating,
Speaker 1: very anxiety producing, and there's a lot of anger that
Speaker 1: comes up, and it can be exhausting, and there's depression
Speaker 1: and it really kind of strips it strips all the
Speaker 1: joy from my body, and so I literally have to
Speaker 1: I I start to think joyful thoughts and I start
Speaker 1: to put on a song and dance to it. That
Speaker 1: makes me feel good and like, I literally that's my
Speaker 1: fighting for my life and my body and my and
Speaker 1: my own like joyful experience in the darkest of moments.
Speaker 1: So I know we're all going through a lot of
Speaker 1: freaking dark moments right now. So I just encourage you
Speaker 1: so deeply too. Just speak joy to the world if
Speaker 1: it even if it's fleeting, even if it's only for
Speaker 1: a second. She'd be like, I feel so great, because
Speaker 1: the more that we speak that into existence, the more
Speaker 1: will show up for us. Um And it has. That
Speaker 1: has been a lesson that I've been learning over the
Speaker 1: past couple of months. So even though it might not
Speaker 1: be there, we still have to fight for it because
Speaker 1: I believe that that is truly like our baseline. It's
Speaker 1: supposed to be joy. It's supposed to be this beautiful experience.
Speaker 1: Uh ease, I say fight for it, and then I
Speaker 1: say ease. The duality of life, um. Ease for me
Speaker 1: has been something another piece of a new lens which
Speaker 1: I'm shifting for myself to view life through. I know
Speaker 1: that it can be incredibly challenging for us to find
Speaker 1: ease in this life, because especially right now, because it
Speaker 1: seems hard. It just it just does, and there's a
Speaker 1: real reality to that. But I do know that we
Speaker 1: create our reality. And so for me, where this began
Speaker 1: showing up once again was in my voice of recognizing
Speaker 1: when it was easy for me to sing, when it
Speaker 1: was easy for me to communicate. And then I started
Speaker 1: this game with myself, reminding myself every morning to pay
Speaker 1: attention to what is easy about my day. And once again,
Speaker 1: the more I started to pay attention to what was easy,
Speaker 1: the more it started to show up. That's just how
Speaker 1: our brain works. So just a little tidbit on this
Speaker 1: brain part. We have something called the reticular activating system
Speaker 1: and it's a part of our brain. Basically, I'll break
Speaker 1: it down like this, And I learned this from Mel Robbins,
Speaker 1: who's actually going to be on the podcast. She has
Speaker 1: a book called The High five Habit that she breaks
Speaker 1: this down really well in layman's terms, and which is
Speaker 1: why I love her because her teachings are so simple.
Speaker 1: But the R A S system in our brain. So
Speaker 1: like if you if you think like I want a
Speaker 1: red Audie, and all of a sudden you start seeing
Speaker 1: red audies everywhere, it's because you're you're subconscious, you're paying
Speaker 1: it's all of a sudden, you're basically drawing that to
Speaker 1: you because you're subconscious is looking for that, even though
Speaker 1: we may not be aware of it. So when we're
Speaker 1: looking for joy, when we're speaking more of that into
Speaker 1: the world, we start to find more joyful things. When
Speaker 1: we're paying attention to e ease, more ease shows up.
Speaker 1: So it's actually like it's scientifically proven, like like we
Speaker 1: can make this happen. So the ease for me has
Speaker 1: been just really paying attention to how he's is showing
Speaker 1: up in my life. I just had to write something
Speaker 1: for a friend of mine and I all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I've been dreading it and dreading it, and then I
Speaker 1: picked up my phone and it like fell out of
Speaker 1: my brain like instantly. I was like, oh, that was
Speaker 1: really easy. I don't know why I was dreading this,
Speaker 1: So it is pretty amazing. And I think if we
Speaker 1: just acknowledge the way that ease is showing up in
Speaker 1: our life, even if it's once a day, once a day,
Speaker 1: trust me, we'll start to turn into several times a day,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you'll have a life of ease.
Speaker 1: And I know that as everything is opposite of everything
Speaker 1: that we see on the news, is opposite of everything
Speaker 1: we're going through right now as a collective, it is
Speaker 1: opposite of everything we've been taught. But I swear it
Speaker 1: is available. And I'm still I still feel like I'm
Speaker 1: kind of in between worlds of challenging and ease, and
Speaker 1: maybe they're always I think it will always be a
Speaker 1: bit of both. But if we can recognize that there
Speaker 1: is ease in our life, we can also start to
Speaker 1: create more of it and be more intentional about it.
Speaker 1: And then community is my last word. And community is
Speaker 1: something that we're creating here, which I love, but it's
Speaker 1: something that I'm a I like. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I call myself a loner. I like people, I like connection,
Speaker 1: and I like my time alone. And I have also
Speaker 1: believed for a long time I didn't belong and so
Speaker 1: I'm finding more belonging with it myself and therefore wanting
Speaker 1: to find more belonging within the world. And I'm also
Speaker 1: realizing that maybe, and maybe this try this went on
Speaker 1: for size, like maybe I was around the wrong people,
Speaker 1: and that not that they are bad people at all,
Speaker 1: it's just maybe they weren't my people, and so I'm
Speaker 1: starting to find my people. And when you find your
Speaker 1: people and you're like, oh, there's a community of a
Speaker 1: like minded individuals that I want to connect with. And
Speaker 1: so I actually phoned a friend the other day and
Speaker 1: was like, I want to start a community with you
Speaker 1: of even if it's just like four or five of us,
Speaker 1: that we're consistently showing up for one another in some way,
Speaker 1: shape or form. And so I've reached out to start
Speaker 1: trying to collaborate and connect with others, other like minded
Speaker 1: individuals and and start a community. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: that in your life, I highly recommend like be the
Speaker 1: one who reaches out and said, hey, let's start a
Speaker 1: zoom group if everybody is not getting together in public,
Speaker 1: or you know, let's meet up for coffee, like whatever
Speaker 1: it is. I know right now more than ever, we
Speaker 1: are in need of community. And for me, I know
Speaker 1: that that is creating something that's intimate, and it's also
Speaker 1: creating more and more community within how I'm reaching out
Speaker 1: into the world with my music and my heart and
Speaker 1: my spirit and all the things. So I look forward
Speaker 1: to deeper community here with you all, and happy two
Speaker 1: I know I said it was a six year and
Speaker 1: that was only five words. Maybe there's a sixth word
Speaker 1: that will come at some point. Maybe by the time
Speaker 1: we get into the third season of Holy Human, I'll
Speaker 1: have my sixth word. If any of this resonated at all,
Speaker 1: reach out and let me know, because I would love
Speaker 1: to hear how you're feeling about the new year, what's resonating,
Speaker 1: what your words are, how you're incorporating those into your life,
Speaker 1: and yeah, happy, I love you and I look forward
Speaker 1: to season three, which we're working on right now. I'll
Speaker 1: see you soon. M H. Holy Human with me Leanne
