Speaker 1: Take a deep breath in through your nose. Holds it now,
Speaker 1: release slowly again deep in, helle hold release, repeating internally
Speaker 1: to yourself as you connect to my voice. I am
Speaker 1: deeply deep Well. I am deeply well. I am deeply
Speaker 1: I'm Debbie Brown and this is the Deeply Well Podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Deeply Well, a soft place to land on
Speaker 1: your journey. A podcast for those that are curious, creative,
Speaker 1: and ready to expand in higher consciousness and self care.
Speaker 1: This is where we heal, this is where transcend. I'm
Speaker 1: Debbie Brown. Welcome back to the show. Allmoth long, we
Speaker 1: have been exploring a lot around regulation, supporting your needs
Speaker 1: and being able to really see what is your energy
Speaker 1: and what is someone else's. We've been diving into rituals
Speaker 1: and practices. We've had some special conversations with beautiful guests
Speaker 1: like my friends David Elliott and Vish Chatterjy. And now
Speaker 1: it is time to think ahead. So we're gearing up
Speaker 1: to hop into this new year twenty twenty five. Right,
Speaker 1: And I saw this meme that really made me laugh,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to like butcher it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but it was so funny. It said I guess y'all
Speaker 1: have learned your lesson. I haven't heard nobody talking about
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is my year. When I read that,
Speaker 1: I started dying laughing. You know. It's like I think back,
Speaker 1: I remember when twenty twenty launched, right, and just like
Speaker 1: twenty twenty is kind of iconic numbering, but it was
Speaker 1: before the pandemic was announced, and I remember everybody was
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty vision, you know, like this my year,
Speaker 1: And I think like the meme of the time was
Speaker 1: like the illustrated girl walking up steps with like all
Speaker 1: these bags on her shoulders and stepping on boxes that
Speaker 1: had little names, and you know, it's watching kind of
Speaker 1: the settling in over the last few years, I think
Speaker 1: has actually been really beautiful because sometimes we can put
Speaker 1: really performative expectations on this container of right now, this
Speaker 1: bridge to the unknown, this bridge to the future, and
Speaker 1: so it's really interesting to even be in this space now,
Speaker 1: I think for so many and to see that meme,
Speaker 1: and it's really not about you predicting wild success or
Speaker 1: wild change in circumstance, right, It's not about out kind
Speaker 1: of having to bump yourself up for how much bigger
Speaker 1: you can be, or how much different it can be.
Speaker 1: I've never really personally connected with that. I think I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm That's not my style of communication anyway about things,
Speaker 1: But especially at the time of the new year. You know,
Speaker 1: this idea of like this my year, watch what happens.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, it's sweet. I like the motivation
Speaker 1: of that, But at the same time, I've always felt
Speaker 1: that there was something that rang a little hollow about it,
Speaker 1: and there was something that felt almost like it created
Speaker 1: a limit, like it had so much expectation to it
Speaker 1: that it also provided some level of limitation because there
Speaker 1: wasn't space for God, there wasn't space even for maybe
Speaker 1: the unknown or the unrealized. And so that's just something
Speaker 1: I was thinking about as I saw that meme that
Speaker 1: you know, that's funny. That is actually quite beautiful to me,
Speaker 1: to create space for what you don't know. And that's
Speaker 1: the piece that a lot of people I observe miss
Speaker 1: on the journey, right there is this idea that you're
Speaker 1: going to go on a journey with yourself, and you
Speaker 1: also already see the end result and the kind of
Speaker 1: person it's going to make you. And sometimes visualizations can
Speaker 1: be really powerful for that, Like, if you've had a
Speaker 1: lot of pain, you can sit in a visualization and
Speaker 1: say like I am imagining and I'm summing forward this
Speaker 1: person this feeling of having a different experience. But sometimes
Speaker 1: we use that kind of futuristic vision to actually be
Speaker 1: a tool of avoidance than a tool of restriction. It
Speaker 1: gets us out of the present, it gets us out
Speaker 1: of the work, and it turns it a little bit
Speaker 1: more into performance. Right, But when we're doing work or
Speaker 1: when we are creating our dreams, we also want to
Speaker 1: be in our bodies as that's happening. Like, that's what
Speaker 1: makes it real, That's what makes it your human lived experience.
Speaker 1: That's what gives it deeper meaning. Right, it becomes those
Speaker 1: core memories, this testimonies, those lessons that embodied wisdom. And
Speaker 1: so when we're thinking about this new year, I really
Speaker 1: want to call forward in general, before the new year
Speaker 1: even gets here, an opportunity to maybe look at it
Speaker 1: in a couple of different ways how you may want
Speaker 1: to go about walking into this next year. For those
Speaker 1: that are connected to human design too, I am a
Speaker 1: non specific manifestor so my design under that system means
Speaker 1: that I do a lot better to not ask for
Speaker 1: specific things. I know sometimes on vision boards it's like
Speaker 1: be a specific blue car, this exact amount of money, right,
Speaker 1: red stress, this man, that girl, this job, that title
Speaker 1: a lot of times, and that may be your style.
Speaker 1: Depending on your human design, you may be a specific
Speaker 1: manifestor I don't know, but I do find that that
Speaker 1: level of specificity leaves God out and it leaves the
Speaker 1: room for miraculous energy completely out of things right, because
Speaker 1: it's still such a level of control that is one
Speaker 1: hundred percent wrapped around your understanding of yourself in this
Speaker 1: exact moment, your ego in this exact moment, your wants
Speaker 1: and needs and desires in this exact specific moment. And
Speaker 1: so if you are on a journey right, or if
Speaker 1: you are calling forward a life that you just don't
Speaker 1: know really well yet that you're kind of desiring and
Speaker 1: needing and wanting to feel, I found that it can
Speaker 1: actually be a lot more helpful and supportive to create
Speaker 1: some space around what these goals and desires are. So
Speaker 1: that's something that is even bigger or even more special
Speaker 1: or more uniquely fit to you can appear if it's
Speaker 1: supposed to. So for this year, as we get ready
Speaker 1: to move into twenty twenty five. I want to consider
Speaker 1: walking into the new year without a lot of projections,
Speaker 1: without a lot of specificity, and without a lot of expectation.
Speaker 1: And what if we walk into this new year and
Speaker 1: we actually choose to lean into our own unique intuition,
Speaker 1: the whispers that we feel, the seeds that have been planted,
Speaker 1: the little pings that we're getting here and there about things,
Speaker 1: And let's lean in to the mightiness of God. What
Speaker 1: can God do in your life this year that you
Speaker 1: couldn't even conceive to put on a vision board? Where
Speaker 1: can you bring yourself this year? If you choose to
Speaker 1: detach and let go from all this planning and expectation
Speaker 1: and follow the whispers, follow the symbols, follow the signs.
Speaker 1: I know something that's been coming up for you. I
Speaker 1: know things have been coming to you, especially in the
Speaker 1: last few months. We've had so many astrological transits. There
Speaker 1: are so many things brewing, so much is coming. But
Speaker 1: if we stay so tight and so rigid to maybe
Speaker 1: dreams that are outdated, people that are outdated, are we
Speaker 1: really mean ourselves? The opportunity to transform, to be in purpose,
Speaker 1: to have more, to be more deeply. Well, take a
Speaker 1: second here, I invite you to gently close your eyes
Speaker 1: as long as you are not driving, take a deep breath.
Speaker 1: I want less to ask ourselves a couple questions before
Speaker 1: we get a little more deeply into this deep breath in,
Speaker 1: before I get into some of the work of this episode,
Speaker 1: let's just tap into those four soul questions that you
Speaker 1: may have heard me share before. It's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite meditations. And as I ask each question, you can listen.
Speaker 1: You can ask yourself internally, but don't rush to fill
Speaker 1: with an answer. Who am I? Who am I? Who
Speaker 1: am I? What do I really want? What do I
Speaker 1: really want? What am I grateful for? What am I
Speaker 1: grateful for? How can I serve? How can I serve?
Speaker 1: All right, let's cleanse the palette now. I want to
Speaker 1: bring forward five different ways that you can really interact
Speaker 1: and co create with your new year energy. Ritualizing reflection
Speaker 1: is my first thought on this. If you haven't already
Speaker 1: done this, or if you have, do a refresh, because
Speaker 1: the top of the year is a great time for
Speaker 1: a refresh for this. But create a sacred space, create
Speaker 1: a space that you were going to spend time in
Speaker 1: all year long in some kind of a way, or
Speaker 1: it can be an altar for your year. Light a candle,
Speaker 1: set an intention, spend some dedicated time recapitulating or reviewing
Speaker 1: your year before the new year begins. Great time to
Speaker 1: do this is in a couple of weeks before the
Speaker 1: new year starts, even a few days before the new
Speaker 1: year starts. But try to get ahead of it so
Speaker 1: you can have a little more time for creation and
Speaker 1: really give yourself an opportunity to release any and all
Speaker 1: that happened and was experienced this year. But really review
Speaker 1: your year just for the information of it. Take stock
Speaker 1: what happened, How much time for grief did you have?
Speaker 1: How much time for joy did you have? What did
Speaker 1: community look like for you? Was this a building year?
Speaker 1: Was this a harvesting year? Was this a rest here?
Speaker 1: Was this an ide eating year? Just notice what did
Speaker 1: it represent for you? What did you find? Was maybe
Speaker 1: one of the bigger themes of what this year was
Speaker 1: identify the theme, get it down on paper, notice it,
Speaker 1: save this knowing and understanding for yourself and instead of
Speaker 1: only listing maybe goals and looking from it from this
Speaker 1: standpoint of like what did you hit? What did you
Speaker 1: do it? Ask yourself, what did I learn? What was
Speaker 1: a lesson this year? Macro and micro ask yourself, how
Speaker 1: did I grow? Spiritually? Write it down, notice it or
Speaker 1: record it into your phone for yourself. Transcribe it, keep it,
Speaker 1: listen back to it in the future. How did I
Speaker 1: grow emotionally? How did I grow mentally? Creating time for
Speaker 1: reflection really transforms the way you relate to your life,
Speaker 1: the way you relate to the experiences that have happened,
Speaker 1: the way you relate to your memories. It gives the
Speaker 1: space for the integration of what has transpired, and it
Speaker 1: gives the space for it to be moved into the
Speaker 1: wisdom of how you live your life. It gives you
Speaker 1: the clarity to move forward with purpose, and it gives
Speaker 1: you the beautiful release. Second on the list of how
Speaker 1: to move into this next year with your intuition and
Speaker 1: God as the guide, embrace spiritual surrender. What if you
Speaker 1: allowed yourself to dream big, but to gently release the
Speaker 1: details of it and leave it one hundred percent in
Speaker 1: God's hands. It doesn't mean that you stop moving, doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you stop intending, doesn't mean that you stop working.
Speaker 1: You're just holding your intentions lightly without too much put
Speaker 1: in to what the result is going to be. And
Speaker 1: sometimes and in some ways that we're moving through life,
Speaker 1: it can be very important and very powerful to have
Speaker 1: set goals that you were going after and that you
Speaker 1: were checking off. For everyone that's listening, that really may
Speaker 1: not be the intended nor necessary path for this year.
Speaker 1: Notice for yourself what it represents and move accordingly. Is
Speaker 1: this a goals year or is this a year that
Speaker 1: there can be some space for new creations to emerge.
Speaker 1: There can be space for faith, there can be space
Speaker 1: for trust. You'll know what the answer is for yourself. Pray, meditate,
Speaker 1: or simply affirm I trust that what is meant for
Speaker 1: me will not miss me. What is meant for me
Speaker 1: is headed straight to me with urgency and ease. Surrendering
Speaker 1: yourself in this way freeze you from the pressure of
Speaker 1: having to control every single outcome, which you can't do anyways,
Speaker 1: and it opens the door for some divine surprises. Third
Speaker 1: step surrendering your twenty twenty five to your intuition and
Speaker 1: to God, committing to the consistent inner work next year
Speaker 1: than your flames, turn on your inner oven, turn on
Speaker 1: that inner fire, grow for yourself, create for yourself a
Speaker 1: soulful routine. What that can look like is daily prayer,
Speaker 1: daily journaling, mindful movement. What you're hearing and what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is devote to your daily practice. And devote to
Speaker 1: your daily practice. How can you meet your own needs
Speaker 1: at the deepest level? Find practices that keep you spiritually
Speaker 1: aligned and connected to your higher purpose. This consistent care
Speaker 1: that you do for yourself, I just cannot overstate it
Speaker 1: is what this show is about. I talk about it
Speaker 1: twenty four seven, I talk about it on this show
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. But this is what sustains you,
Speaker 1: right like having a practice like this that is really
Speaker 1: deeply connected to your soul and is in service to
Speaker 1: your mind and to your body and to your heart.
Speaker 1: This is what builds your endurance for your purpose. This
Speaker 1: is what sustains you through the times that are assured
Speaker 1: to come that are challenging. We are always dancing between
Speaker 1: grief and joy, and the practice this is what allows
Speaker 1: you to move through either end of that extreme with grace,
Speaker 1: with ease, with joy, with purpose, with usefulness, with wisdom.
Speaker 1: Fourth on the list, surrounding yourself with inspired community. Now
Speaker 1: this is a big one. The last few years, we
Speaker 1: have been diving into the individualistic journey. Right. We've been
Speaker 1: doing our individual work, which has been so important and
Speaker 1: it has to be done. But when you do it,
Speaker 1: then it's time to open back up to community. Right.
Speaker 1: It's that closing of the circle. It's the completion. It
Speaker 1: is the hero's journey from Joseph Campbell, or it's like
Speaker 1: in The Alchemist where you slay your dragons. You have
Speaker 1: your adventure, you have your experiences, and then you return
Speaker 1: home to share them with your community, to bring them back,
Speaker 1: to bring the learning back, to bring the knowledge back,
Speaker 1: to bring the love back, to help everyone create something new.
Speaker 1: And that's what it really feels like we are ready
Speaker 1: for for those that have been doing the work right now,
Speaker 1: it's time to have the elevated community. So if you
Speaker 1: want to carry divine purpose into the new year, intentionally
Speaker 1: connect with communities, with mentors, with friends who share your
Speaker 1: spiritual values and uplift your spirit. It's not about more,
Speaker 1: and it's not necessarily about new though sometimes it is.
Speaker 1: It's really about the depth. Can you go deeper? Can
Speaker 1: you be deeper with those you're in community with, Can
Speaker 1: the quality of the experience between you and what you share,
Speaker 1: be higher, be in the presence of those who also
Speaker 1: embrace surrender and trust and can spark greater devotion and
Speaker 1: faith within you. That is really important. That is really important.
Speaker 1: You cannot be the most hopeful, optimistic person in your
Speaker 1: friend group. Something is wrong. If that's the case, you're
Speaker 1: a martyr. If that's the case, there's something way too
Speaker 1: self righteous about it. If that's the case, that's not
Speaker 1: what God's intended path is. It's not for you to
Speaker 1: be the one of one of you in your space
Speaker 1: to the point where it's to your detriment being around
Speaker 1: others that feel that way, that grow that way, that
Speaker 1: move that way. That is what community is. That is
Speaker 1: the path. You can dip your toe back onto the
Speaker 1: other side. Right. You can do your good works with
Speaker 1: people you care about, but when it comes to community,
Speaker 1: it has to be it has to be mutually sustaining
Speaker 1: for all parties. And my final point for this episode
Speaker 1: and for this exercise is engage in heart centered service.
Speaker 1: If the things that you are working on and the
Speaker 1: things that you are creating only benefit you, it is
Speaker 1: too small. You must be a tree that bears fruit.
Speaker 1: The things that you are creating should not be for
Speaker 1: your own self aggrandizing. It should not be to fill
Speaker 1: that void of validation that you're craving. It should be
Speaker 1: for the greater good of all. It should be for humanity.
Speaker 1: It should serve you, and it should be birthed from
Speaker 1: your creativity and your vision. And it should be beneficial
Speaker 1: to you as well. You deserve that. But if it's
Speaker 1: just for you, start over. Look again, If it's just
Speaker 1: for you, there's some work to do. There's another way
Speaker 1: that you can feel whole and loved inside the work
Speaker 1: of your life is for all, or it's too small.
Speaker 1: So think about that. Moving in to this new year
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, we are surrendering to our own
Speaker 1: intuition and to God. That's it. That's it. Let's see
Speaker 1: what comes. You might be someone you never dreamed of.
Speaker 1: You might have experiences, You might have a purpose you
Speaker 1: could never really think of yourself, because you created the
Speaker 1: space to bring it in. You created the space for
Speaker 1: something new, for something else. Be with that, sit in that.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to go through those again, briefly ritualizing
Speaker 1: your reflection number one, number two, embracing spiritual surrender Number three,
Speaker 1: Committing to consistent inner work, number four surrounding yourself with
Speaker 1: inspired community, and number five engaging in heart centered service.
Speaker 1: Take a deep breath here, let's let that settle in.
Speaker 1: Here's an affirmation that I'd love to gift you and
Speaker 1: invite you to try on for yourself. I trust in
Speaker 1: the Divine plan for my life. I am prepared, open
Speaker 1: and ready to receive an affirmation for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I trust in the divine plan for my life. I
Speaker 1: am prepared, open and ready to receive. I trust in
Speaker 1: the Divine plan for my life. I am prepared, ready
Speaker 1: and open to receive. Oh. I love that. That felt
Speaker 1: so good. Dive into some of those, spend some time
Speaker 1: with some of those, especially before this year. Get started
Speaker 1: something that we discuss last episode, which I just want
Speaker 1: to bring back up for review and invite you to
Speaker 1: do if you haven't cleansed your spaces. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite things to do, especially before I head out to
Speaker 1: my sacred, sacred, sacred New Year in Mexico, to go
Speaker 1: see my whales that y'all know about. I talk about
Speaker 1: them every year. You'll be in a whale episode soon.
Speaker 1: I hope I get to see them this year. That
Speaker 1: is my desire but something that I love to do
Speaker 1: this time of year is to just energetically cleanse. I
Speaker 1: am given myself all the scalp treatments, gosh, shine my
Speaker 1: whole body all the time, just letting myself detox. I'm
Speaker 1: giving myself lymph massage to continue to let my body detox.
Speaker 1: I typically like to eat a lot lighter this time
Speaker 1: of the year, which is so counter intuitive because the sweets,
Speaker 1: My God, just everywhere is pie, like everywhere is something
Speaker 1: so delicious filled with gluten. But I try to eat lighter.
Speaker 1: I try to drink more water, drink more juice to
Speaker 1: kind of counteract some of the other things that can
Speaker 1: feel destabilizing at this time of year. Right, we went
Speaker 1: over this last episode, the people, the amount of stimulation,
Speaker 1: the trauma, the memories, all of the things that happen,
Speaker 1: the expectations, also the fun. But it's a lot energetically physically, mind, body,
Speaker 1: and soul. So I try to do a lot to
Speaker 1: meet that need. As you're working through these exercises and
Speaker 1: being with some of this curriculum, I want you to
Speaker 1: think of it in that as well. Continue to support
Speaker 1: this space that you're creating by also cleansing your energy, sage, incense, burns,
Speaker 1: some smoke, some fire, pello, Santo capaul. Whatever is your pleasure,
Speaker 1: whatever scent brings you to life and makes you feel
Speaker 1: good and more whole, Light it up, cleanse your energy,
Speaker 1: light a fire, if you can, open your windows, if
Speaker 1: you can Sometimes right, it might be snowing where you are,
Speaker 1: But whatever's possible. Do what's possible. Cleanse your home, declutter,
Speaker 1: clear out some space before the top of the new year.
Speaker 1: Do the organizing that you wanted to do. Do the gifting,
Speaker 1: do the good willhul do whatever you need to both
Speaker 1: energetically physically. Make space. You're making space in the physical world.
Speaker 1: Make space in your heart. You're making space in your heart.
Speaker 1: Make space in your mind. You're making space in your mind.
Speaker 1: Make space in your body. You're making space in your body,
Speaker 1: make space at your home. It all feeds itself, right,
Speaker 1: All these different chambers always lead back to the whole picture.
Speaker 1: So consider the facets, consider all the ways that you're
Speaker 1: going to show up in those ways. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining this episode. I cannot wait to see
Speaker 1: you in the new year. I am open to the
Speaker 1: miraculous energy of twenty twenty five. I am open to
Speaker 1: great outcomes beyond my comprehension, to flow into my life
Speaker 1: with miraculous energy, grace, ease, prosperity, abundance, safety, stability, fun
