Speaker 1: with you. And I am so blown away by your work.

67
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Let me start there, let me anchor that there there

68
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: were so you know, it's interesting. I'm going to dive

69
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: right in. So it's it's we're gonna talk. We're gonna

70
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: explore so many things. You have two phenomenal books. Your

71
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: your latest book, Yoke My Yoga of Self Acceptance, was

72
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: just released this past June UM, and I know that

73
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: so many listeners are in the process of really deeply

74
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: savory it. And you know, first, I really want to

75
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: speak to the way that I connected to your work.

76
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: And so we've all been on the spiritual path for

77
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: our whole life, and I've been in deep study for

78
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: at least a decade, and I found that yoga was

79
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: the one thing that I wasn't naturally connecting to and

80
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: you know, when you're kind of moving in in some

81
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: of those spaces, especially like within the meditation community or

82
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: some of really the some of the deeper spaces of

83
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: spirituality that we can find yoga. Yoga is very often

84
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: a part of the process for people. But then there's

85
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: some of us that I noticed, and this really launched

86
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: probably my deepest awakening when I was able to re

87
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: enter my body. That was my deepest, deepest level of

88
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: awakening I've had yet. And it was the peace that

89
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: I think I avoided throughout my entire spiritual path. And

90
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: it's the piece I think I didn't understand. And so

91
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: something I used to say. People would be like, do

92
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: you do yoga? And I'd be like, oh, well, no,

93
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: I haven't worked with that modality yet, or like no,

94
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: like I'm not really into yoga, but I do this

95
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: and this, and I searched myself. I would go to

96
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: classes and I would say what and I would do

97
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: it and it would feel good. But I'd say, why

98
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: don't I love it? I love so many other parts

99
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: of this spiritual journey, especially the shadow work. I'm someone

100
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: that loves to deep dive in my crevices, and I

101
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: was just saying why don't I love this? Why? And

102
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: then it came when I started understanding that I was

103
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: not inside of my body and what that even meant,

104
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: what that even meant to be alive, but to notice

105
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: that I couldn't feel myself inside literally, oh my god,

106
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: literally it. I think that I don't want to interrupt,

107
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: but that's what I've been telling myself. Just listen, so

108
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: I want to receive what you're saying about much to say,

109
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: I want to and I want to really reflect to you.

110
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: You know, um when I first started seeing your work,

111
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: and I think I first found you, like on my

112
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: Explorer page. When I first started seeing your work and

113
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: even even watching you light up before doing your yoga

114
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: was so powerful for me, like it lit inside of

115
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: me this desire for movement. And I want to share

116
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: this for anyone that's listening that maybe at this juncture

117
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: of the pathway. But I remember, even when I first

118
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: started trying to be with my body, it was so

119
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: clunky and awkward, you know, I felt and I even

120
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: felt embarrassed at the fact that I didn't know how

121
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: to be in my body, or move my body, or

122
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: be at peace with my body. Even though the exterior.

123
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes we can get dressed up, or we can go

124
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: out and dance and do these things, but it's not

125
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: the same. And the freedom that your existence, that your

126
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: spiritual teachings and practice have given me are just profound.

127
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: And I want to speak to that because what you offer,

128
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, and you say this actually really beautifully in

129
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: your book. I have this written down that it's not

130
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: It's not about the postures, right, It's not about the postures,

131
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: it's not about your downward dogs, it's not about your

132
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: child's pose. It's not even about you know, the savasana

133
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: at the end, it is about the process of saying,

134
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm willing to be with me right now, and I

135
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: will feel these pieces of my body that I may

136
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: not have had access to and make peace with them

137
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: and be acceptance, you know, being acceptance of them and

138
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: want to explore them. And so you know, I just

139
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: offer that to say, justin like you are a vessel

140
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: of the divine, Like you are a sacred, sacred, exceptional being,

141
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: and I'm so grateful that you exist, and I'm so

142
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: grateful that you have been willing to offer your work

143
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: in the world, and you have been willing to share

144
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: yourself at the deepest level possible. Oh I am, I

145
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: have to tell you so much of that work, so

146
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: much of that journey, so much of my truth, this whole,

147
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: this go around, this body, this experience, So much of

148
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: this not my conscious choice. Like I'm telling you, I

149
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: could have stayed in a space of not attempting to

150
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: accept my body, not even like being like, I would

151
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: have stayed in unconsciousness as long as possible. I wouldn't

152
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: be not I mean, even even in the even in

153
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: the expansion of what my work has become, I have

154
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: actively pushed back against like trying to engage spiritually with

155
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: the connection that comes from impacting other people. I feel

156
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: I find myself deeply critical of that impulse within myself.

157
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: And it's only now that I am really coming to except.

158
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Further than all of this is everything is in its

159
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: right place, that there's no need to try to fix

160
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: anything or change anything or do it's just it's all

161
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: where it needs to be. All you need to do

162
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: is just look at all of it. And it's only

163
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: in that space that I'm able to even like really

164
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: receive you and my gratitude. It's so immense I hate

165
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: to even try to put words to it, because I

166
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: I feel like being able to be in this community

167
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: wherein truly all of us shining our light, all of

168
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: us like this, this that sacred energy I am carrying,

169
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: the same as the person in the office next to me,

170
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: in the office next to them. We are all everybody.

171
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: It's only because of all of us shining our light

172
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: that I think I am able to be present to

173
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: myself at all. So I just I feel a lot

174
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: of gratitude to have this opportunity to connect with you,

175
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: to connect with anyone outside of my house, and I

176
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: just I just hope to not take it for granted.

177
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: That's so. Yeah, I'm glad to be here, glad to

178
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: be in community. Thank you for having me. H what

179
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: was your first remembrance A feeling at home inside of yourself?

180
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm mm hm. You know, when I think about

181
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: being at home within myself and now when I feel

182
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: the most at home within myself, I feel exactly the

183
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: same as I did when I was like six years old.

184
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: It's like summertime, whatever summer that would have been, summer

185
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: of ninety three maybe, and like I am, I'm wearing

186
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: a bathing suit as my outfit. That is my only

187
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: thing to where I'm a cancer. So this is this

188
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: is what we do. And I am I'm maybe if

189
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: there's a shoe needed, I'm like putting on something like

190
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: my auntie's heels or something my mom's heels. And I

191
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: am just being. I'm not trying, I'm not doing anything.

192
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm just being. And that even the times that I

193
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: can think of, oh god, the thing. Okay, So this

194
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: is the thing about coming home to yourself is it

195
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: is like a crash landing. I don't know if people,

196
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: but it's not like like I think that. It sounds

197
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: like it's total beautiful, you know. It sounds like it's like, yes,

198
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: I am at home with myself, and it's like, man,

199
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: it was rocky getting here because the time it's so brutal.

200
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: Like I don't think because I think before this time

201
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: that I'm about to say, I don't think that I

202
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: had actually consciously been aware of what was happening prior

203
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: to this moment. That was I think the moment before

204
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: this were very, very beautiful. But also I did not

205
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: hold onto them to any degree and I did not

206
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: understand them, and so they but I they passed through

207
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: me and were me. But this one time, like I

208
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: didn't understand that the the cataclism that has to happen

209
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: in order for it to happen, Like I did not

210
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: get that it's gonna be something real, ugly and brutal

211
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: that gets you there. But that feeling is like, oh,

212
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: it's like coming home. It is like it's not in it,

213
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: just in the most true way. Okay. So the time

214
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: that I'm thinking of was this. Actually I told the

215
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: story and everybody yoga, I think so if you are

216
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: listening and you read that book, when you know the story,

217
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: But it was the last It was during my teacher training,

218
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: my yoga teacher training, and I would say, you, you

219
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: alluded to this um earlier. But when I first started

220
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: practicing yoga, I really did not. I was not comfortable

221
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: engaging with what it meant to be home with myself.

222
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: I was not comfortable engaging with my my spirits. I

223
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: was I was not comfortable acknowledging that aspect of self.

224
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: And I felt very much that the physical practice was

225
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: the reason, the why, the motivator. And during my teacher training,

226
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: we did this exercise where we were paired up with

227
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: another trainee and we were when partner yoga together, and

228
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: I found myself in a state of great anxiety because

229
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: my body is so much fatter than the person that

230
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: I was partnered with, and I was I was so

231
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: paranoid about hurting her and like what it was going

232
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: to mean for me to hurt her. And so the

233
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: whole practice, I just kept apologizing over and over again.

234
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: I would be like, oh my god, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

235
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: And at one point she literally just stopped me and

236
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: she put her hands on my shoulders and she said,

237
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: you do know you don't have to apologize for everything,

238
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: don't you? And I I was, you know, you build

239
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: that fire during the practice where it's just incinerating everything

240
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: that does not need to be there. And so without

241
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: even thinking, I said, out loud, oh, I'm sorry. I

242
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: guess I'm just apologizing for existing, and that wow, as

243
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: the reality, it's stopped me cold because I was like,

244
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: how long have I been thinking this? How long have

245
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: I been feeling I'm apologizing for existing? What what is

246
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: that connected to? What drinks did I have? Because I'm

247
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: apologizing for existing? What places have I not gone? What

248
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: people have I been in relationships with? Because I believe

249
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: I don't deserve to exist, and it's beyond thinking like

250
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: oh my body is okay, and I deserved to be

251
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: present in my body. It's like I I am, I

252
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: am alive and a light and I am unable to

253
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: engage with that at all. M and I mean it

254
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: just that experience. I thought of it and described it

255
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: as like it's like I had been I didn't realize

256
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: that I've been looking at a foggy bathroom mirror, but

257
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: that I in that moment, it was like swiping down

258
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: and I was actually looking at myself and I was like,

259
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: who is this person? Who are you? This is? This

260
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: is who I've been the whole time. And that is

261
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: to me what it feels like to come home to myself.

262
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: It feels like I am this is all of me,

263
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: This is the whole thing, and there are parts of

264
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: it that I cannot even it is to taste it

265
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: in my mouth. It's scary, but that is who I

266
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: am and that is the truth. And that like coming home,

267
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: which is not always fun. Sometimes it's really not funny,

268
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: but like that, it it made me feel comfortable, It

269
00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: made me feel good. M hm. Oh you are a

270
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: holy experience is I'm like just so grateful to be

271
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: in conversation with somebody who was very much you know,

272
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: also doing this. You know, also whatever this is because

273
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: to your point, like it's been having a spiritual experience

274
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: since day one, you know what I mean. It's like

275
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: this has been and it doesn't even matter if you're

276
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: conscious of it, but to be aware of it and

277
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: to be able to connect with other people who are

278
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: aware of it, I'm just so grateful God. And it's

279
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: the rarity of it, you know, I think is what

280
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: makes it emotional like I have. I don't know if

281
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: I've yet cried on an episode, but right now my

282
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: eyes are filled and I'm like, all right, girl, what's

283
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: going on? But you? But you know what it. This

284
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: is what it feels like for me, Jiman, watching you

285
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: in this moment, being in your essence. Um, I am

286
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: also I'm also reminded of my divine nature and the

287
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: way that I'm experiencing it with you right now is

288
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: you know, you are residing in the radiance of your holiness.

289
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: You are, Yeah, You're a holy experience and it's because

290
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: of your willingness to be with you. And I think

291
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: that's the piece that you know, I just My deepest

292
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: desire with this show and with my life is I

293
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: don't want to give people hacks. I don't want to

294
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: give people tips and tricks. I don't want to sit

295
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: up here and box myself or market myself in a

296
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: way that's like, Okay, so meditate to do this and

297
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: do that. And yes, I'm a meditation teacher, I'm a

298
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: wellness educator. It is the shadows. These are all the

299
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: technologies for human experience. These are all the pieces that

300
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: allow us to unlock different levels. But it is the

301
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: willingness to be with you in a way that is

302
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: not shown in the world. It's a willingness to be

303
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: with yourself in a way that doesn't have a name

304
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: or a title, or a formula um or a package

305
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: or addressing or a comparative or a it is. I

306
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: have no idea, I feel you. All of this is,

307
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: but I know I am just at the deepest level

308
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: possible meant to experience me. And it's even the laying

309
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: down of the figuring out. And I think the place

310
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: that I'm in personally now it's the Yeah, I'm I'm

311
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: constantly living in process, but there is no figuring out.

312
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Everything is theory until we leave this place. Right literally,

313
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: the whole thing theory a full scientific method, third or

314
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: fourth step or whichever one's I was not paying attention

315
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: to the class, but the parts where it's like you're

316
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: just testing the hypothesis, that's the whole thing. And then

317
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: it's over and you're like, oh, well, I don't know,

318
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: yeah they yeah, and it's it's like falling into the

319
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: acceptance of this is actually not a test I am

320
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: going to get a score on that I'll necessarily know about,

321
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: right Like, it's like I'm doing all of these things things,

322
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: but ultimately it is to survive this place right now.

323
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: Legitimately I always say legit like I do yoga because

324
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: I practice yoga because I just it's my medicine. Like

325
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: it is the thing that I do so that I

326
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: can just be around other human beings and like be

327
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: chill and not lose my ship all there. That is

328
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: that and the and I use cannabis because that is

329
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: how I'm like, that's my gift to other people, because

330
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: I feel like when I don't then you can tell.

331
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: And this is then There's just so many different things

332
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: that we have to do to just be able to

333
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: be okay. With so many things that are not okay.

334
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: They are not okay. Living in a world that is

335
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: moving from a space of fear. It's not okay. And

336
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: it's something that I think it's such an interesting evolution

337
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: on humanity and ultimately is very beautiful in and of itself.

338
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: This whole, the chaos of this world right now is

339
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: it is beautiful, but it is tremendously sad and very

340
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: very scary and definitely like you don't have to be

341
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: this way. But the only way to like do anything

342
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: about that hour to be even just to not even

343
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: do anything. This is where my practice is. It's like

344
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: you don't always have to do something, you can just

345
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: be It's okay, non't need to do something. So it's

346
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: like even just to be with it. I feel like

347
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: just having the practices and to your point about hats,

348
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: first of all, I feel you on it. I cannot

349
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: even I hate it's I hate calling myself a teacher

350
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: of anything. It hurts my feelings every time because I'm like,

351
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: I am a student, that is it is it. I

352
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: am just I'm learning, Like every day is like I'm

353
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: just learning, and I think I'm a I'm a practitioner.

354
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: I just show up in my own practice and and

355
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: the teaching is in the being. And so if this

356
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: is if there's anyone who feels that they've been taught

357
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: by me, it is only because I was just being

358
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: about being a doing but at the exact same time,

359
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: And this is I only really was thinking about this

360
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: when you were saying it. I was like, there's so

361
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: much beauty and meeting people where they are and offering

362
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: the tips and the legitimate hacks that make it possible

363
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: because there's so many things that I mean, had I'm

364
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: not like, okay, there were there's so many, like especially

365
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: with meditation, so many things that had I not had

366
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: that as a standard to work with, would never have

367
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: come to understand that it's all meditation and that there's

368
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: it's all just that there's endless opportunities for me, but

369
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: like that you have to have those experiences. So anyway,

370
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, and you know, and I still feel

371
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: you on that because I think you know where my

372
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: against us might come in. It's more around the packaging.

373
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: Because you know, something I like to express everyone is

374
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: we we're all teachers, right, Like we're all called to share,

375
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: we are all called to reach the deepest level of

376
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: our authenticity, and by nature of that, the radiance that

377
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: comes from us is what teaches, it is what serves.

378
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: And so I think in this moment right now, I'm

379
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: enjoying residing in that and saying, you know, much like

380
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: like you know the very famous quote, but be the

381
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: change you wish to see in the world. The way

382
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: that that really feels and looks is I am occupying

383
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: so much fucking space within myself that it is effortlessly

384
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: giving a permission and a guide post for others. Be

385
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: the change. I'm like, Yo, people use this to say

386
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: so many different things, and I'm like, that is the message.

387
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: Take up the space, hold in its not taking up,

388
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: especially when we live in a world that wants you

389
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: to be small, that wants all of us to be

390
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: like trying to make us as small and compact as possible,

391
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: to be able to fit as many beings as possible.

392
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: But the realities that our light cannot be contained by

393
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: any box. There's no even the box of the body.

394
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: So that to take out, to to allow yourself to

395
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: be as big and vast as you are is just so.

396
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, even one other person witnessing that and feeling

397
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,239
Speaker 1: and knowing within themselves that that exact same vastness is

398
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: there and it is that that is all that they are.

399
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: That's that's how we shift, That's how we turn that

400
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: big wheel. And I mean we turn it and then

401
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: something new happens, some fresh hell, you know, but it's

402
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: a thing to fresh hell, so way passed the time,

403
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: you know. Oh my God, I love that you said that,

404
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: because that is exactly I think, especially this last month.

405
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: I think with all the planetary movements, it was hell.

406
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: It was hell for me, absolutely literally hard. And I

407
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: think too, you know, it's like investigating, investigating those pieces

408
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: help so much because when we start to understand the

409
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 1: way that I experience it, some people may clutch your

410
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: pearls as you're listening, but the way that I experience

411
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: it is, you know, like we're in assimilation, Like we're

412
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: in this kind of experience that was crafted by God

413
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: for God to experience itself. So so much of our

414
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: life is really about the opposites and reversals and then

415
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: the constant refinements of the ways that we experience that duality.

416
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: Humanity is meant to exist completely steeped in duality. That's

417
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: what this planet is for you know, and I think

418
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: when I come into that space and you spoke to

419
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: this earlier where we were talking about, you know, being

420
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: an acceptance of what also feels like unbearable compassion, like

421
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: sometimes being alive and witnessing what's happening one feels so

422
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: profoundly empowering, even knowing that you have the ability to

423
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: be soft in this or to be a soft place

424
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: to land for others. But it's also it's also excruciating

425
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: in a way that there isn't language for. And one

426
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: of my spiritual teachers, UM, I remember we were having

427
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: a conversation and it's it was after UM, one of

428
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: my friends was murdered, and and I just sat and

429
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: I just started weeping, and I was like, I don't

430
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: want to feel this much all the time, Like feeling

431
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: this amount of love all the time, feeling this amount

432
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: of pressure in my heart, even feeling divinity in a

433
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: place that is really largely not divine in action. UM,

434
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: in some ways can be perceived is that it it

435
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: is just excruciating. UM. And sometimes it's hard. It is hard,

436
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: even as a light worker, even as someone who is

437
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: deeply rooted in the work, even someone you know, I

438
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: know I'm in the lineage of christ consciousness, and sometimes

439
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: you wake up and you say, do I really want

440
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: to be in this place? Absolutely? Absolutely, like okay, I

441
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: just okay, um, gather m. I feel like that experience

442
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: of I don't want to feel all of this. I

443
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: just I cannot tell you how deeply that resonates. I

444
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: just I think that. And I think it's because because

445
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: of being a light worker, because it being so it's

446
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: so tapped into the truth that that is even something

447
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: to be aware of. And it is just God, I mean,

448
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: just the most beautiful, the most I don't think that.

449
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: I think the hardness of it and the fullness of

450
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: it and the the bigness of it all. I think

451
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: lets us skirt underneath the surface sometimes just to not

452
00:31:54,200 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: have to experience all of it. Wow, And that I

453
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: just think it's so so beautiful and what this experience

454
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: is for. And I think the complaining about it is allowed.

455
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: That's a part of It's like, it's gotta be man,

456
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: you don't say I can't complain about some them. I'm like,

457
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: especially when the ship is so heavy, you know, like

458
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: when it is so especially yeah, when it's Yeah, the

459
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: things that are hardest. This was part one of a beautiful,

460
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: expansive conversation with Jessamine Stanley. Thank you so much for
