Coming up on Paratruth Reborn, I'm gonna be talking to
2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:07.839
Mama Morose about her book Fearless twenty seven Affirmations to
3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:42.240
Change your Life. Welcome to Para Truth Truth. How's it going, Paratruthers.
4
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:47.079
Welcome to another episode of Paratruth Reborn. My name is
5
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:52.000
Justin and I am super excited to welcome Mama Rose
6
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.159
to the show. Morose, Welcome to Paratruth Reborn.
7
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.079
Hi, Justin, Thanks so much for having me on.
8
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:05.239
Absolutely So, before we get into the meat of the book,
9
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.599
what inspired you to write Feelus?
10
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.640
Well, first of all, just that I had something to say,
11
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.400
and I think that's a really powerful energy to exist
12
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.879
in for any period of time, and for me, I
13
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.959
felt like I had something to say for a really
14
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.040
long time before I was actually able to figure out
15
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.640
how to express that in a way that could be
16
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.879
delivered to other people.
17
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.799
Okay, m now when did you first realize the power
18
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.799
of affirmation in your life? Because a lot of people
19
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.640
go through this, but they don't usually grasp affirmations, So
20
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:49.799
I'm kind of curious when you got started with this.
21
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.120
Yeah, that's a great question.
22
00:01:53.319 --> 00:02:00.799
Well, it was after my second year of so I
23
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.200
was pretty young when I realized that the way that
24
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.520
I was talking to myself was impacting me, both positively
25
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.879
and negatively. And I had never heard the term affirmation before.
26
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.319
I hadn't heard the term mindfulness. I hadn't heard anything
27
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.479
really about how we talk to ourselves. Even after going
28
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.560
through years and years of therapy with all different therapists,
29
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.800
I had never heard about this. But I just realized, like,
30
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.319
there's this voice that's talking to me when no one
31
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.439
else is talking to me, and it's me, right, It's
32
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.960
just me saying, this is how the world works, this
33
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.919
is what God is, this is what is true or
34
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:41.919
isn't true. This is who I am, This is what
35
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.599
I believe about myself and how things work right. And
36
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:51.800
so at some point I remember, I remember getting the
37
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.039
idea that I really wanted to learn how to love
38
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.960
myself like that was like kind of a life change
39
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.159
concept for me, This like idea of self love, that
40
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.240
that was even something that I needed to really think about.
41
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.080
And so I wrote on my mirror in a what
42
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.280
do you call it, like a whiteboard marker, I love myself.
43
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.159
And I was like, this is great, this is gonna work.
44
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.400
This is going to be great.
45
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.719
Every time I see this, it's just going to, like,
46
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.800
you know, make me love myself. And what happened instead
47
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.319
was every single time I saw that phrase, I was
48
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.719
met with everything that wanted to fight it. So it
49
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.360
was like all the reasons why I shouldn't love myself,
50
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.599
the reasons why I'm not worthy of loving myself, the
51
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.520
things that I didn't like about myself, Like everything came
52
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:41.319
up to meet that.
53
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.080
And that was.
54
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:48.360
When I really understood, began to understand what affirmations really are,
55
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.199
how they work, and how they don't work, and how
56
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.879
focusing really intentionally on not only what I'm saying to myself,
57
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.879
but how I hold myself as I'm speaking to myself
58
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.680
became a really big, powerful part of my journey.
59
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.840
Okay m hm. Now a lot of people will just
60
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.120
sit there and say, you know, this is just positive thinking.
61
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.680
What's the difference between positive thinking versus affirmations?
62
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.040
Well, so.
63
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.720
Language is limiting, right, And so when if someone says
64
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.519
positive thinking, I would ask, like, what does that mean
65
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.000
to you? And I would assume probably that what they
66
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.480
mean is that they're just gonna say things that have
67
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.399
no emotional weight, like I'm going to.
68
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.120
Win a million dollars.
69
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.720
I'm gonna win a million dollars. I'm gonna win a
70
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.279
million dollars. Okay, why didn't it work? Why didn't Why
71
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.680
didn't I win a million dollars? Well, while you were
72
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.920
saying that to yourself, what were you feeling? This book
73
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.639
talks about the relationship between thought and emotion, and that's
74
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.439
the difference between just saying something positive to yourself or
75
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.959
positive thinking and actually doing the work. Because when we
76
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.839
can learn how to uncouple thought and emotion or actually see, like,
77
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.759
where is my thought connected to emotion? Where is my
78
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.000
emotion connected to thought, and then have some framework of
79
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.519
understanding for how those things are actually attached to each other,
80
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.199
that's where we can get in there, in that in
81
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.480
between space, and we can actually start to decide on
82
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.199
purpose what feeling state we want to attract thoughts to.
83
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.839
So it's not about positive thinking, it's about positive feeling.
84
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.839
But positive feeling isn't just feeling happy all the time.
85
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:39.000
Positive feeling is feeling everything. It's about feeling everything, and
86
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.199
the most positive feeling that we have is love. Right.
87
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.199
I think most people would agree that if you could
88
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.480
think of, like what the highest frequency is, it's love,
89
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.079
it's self, acceptance.
90
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:48.279
Its presence.
91
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.360
Right, these things are synonyms, and the most loving thing
92
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.160
that we can do, the highest frequency state that we
93
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.160
can cultivate within ourselves, is the acceptance of feeling everything
94
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.279
that is actually there to feel. So instead of just
95
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.920
positive thinking, it's noticing what thoughts come up, noticing what
96
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.160
emotion is attached to that, and then actually allowing yourself
97
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.759
to feel that, fully feel it, express it in whatever
98
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.759
way you need to, whether that's journaling it, moving it,
99
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.120
sitting with it, talking about it, anything that allows that
100
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.839
emotion to actually tell.
101
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:27.519
Its whole story.
102
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.560
And a lot of times they'll have to tell their
103
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.680
story over and over and over and over again, right,
104
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.920
because we go deep and we're complicated. But being with
105
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.839
that process is really really different than just positive thinking.
106
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:49.279
Okay, now the name of the book is Fearless. Where
107
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.560
do you feel fear comes from? Is it psychological as
108
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.040
it spiritual? Is it both?
109
00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:01.160
I think that everything that we experience is all. It's
110
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:06.079
all it's it's rooted in all of the different spaces,
111
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.199
and for that reason, we can also work from any
112
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.240
of those places to address something which is really nice,
113
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.879
Like you can work on something energetically or physically or
114
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.800
spiritually or mentally, and you're going to you're going to
115
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.399
work on it, you know, which is which is great?
116
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.279
So we've got lets of different angles and options.
117
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.519
And with fear, for me and my experience so far,
118
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.800
I've really come to to learn that fear has a
119
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.800
place in my life as a messenger, and I thank
120
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.040
it for that, and that's it's an important, important piece
121
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.560
of my life as a messenger. But there's a part
122
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.639
of me that exists beyond that fear. There's my soul, right,
123
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.959
And we've got lots of different words for what that is.
124
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.759
Everybody's got a different idea of kind of what's running
125
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.920
the show here, what the higher power is?
126
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.839
Is it nature? Is it God? Is it love? Is
127
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.680
it energy? Is whatever?
128
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:01.680
Right?
129
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.680
But ultimately there's something we know that's bigger than just
130
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.839
like our little ego or our personality, our character role, right,
131
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.879
and fear is this thing that, in my experience is
132
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:19.160
pointing to something that's on the level of that ego, personality,
133
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.920
character role that we came here to play. So it
134
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.800
could be like a safety concern, it could be like
135
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:26.959
showing me something that's really important to me.
136
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:27.800
It could be showing me.
137
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.920
My beliefs, my morals, my values, something that's out of
138
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.600
alignment for me in my life that I like, shouldn't
139
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.559
run in the street because I could get hit by
140
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.279
a car. You know, Like it's a very important messenger,
141
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.200
and also being with it in a neutral way is
142
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.480
really important so that we can let it do its
143
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.639
job as a messenger and stop it from doing extra
144
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.279
work and becoming anxiety.
145
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.879
You know. I saw the title of the book and
146
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:04.399
really thought about this. How the word fearless. A lot
147
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.279
of people tend to think that that means you have
148
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.600
no fear. And there was a really good quote from
149
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.480
I don't even remember where I heard it, but you know,
150
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:19.039
being fearless isn't that you have no fear. It's that
151
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:24.600
you are afraid of everything and embrace it to overcome it.
152
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:25.879
I like that.
153
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.120
So just seeing the title of the book really made
154
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.919
me think and wanted to read through some of these
155
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.639
affirmations and understand where you would be coming from for it,
156
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.960
because a lot of people you see affirmations everywhere a
157
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.279
lot these days, but a lot of people don't understand
158
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.840
still what they really mean, right, So I've love that
159
00:09:53.080 --> 00:10:01.080
it's embracing the fear by using affirmations to get through it. Now,
160
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:04.399
do you believe I fear can be influenced by energy
161
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.919
or environment or other you know, outside factors.
162
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.879
Influenced by maybe stimulated.
163
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.600
By Okay, yeah that makes more sense.
164
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.159
Yeah, yeah, mm hmm yeah.
165
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.720
And I on the last piece that you said too,
166
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.159
I actually so this is a little bit of a
167
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.360
funny thing that I work with an incredible publisher, which
168
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.080
you know is Llewellen. And for people who don't know
169
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.480
when you're working with a publisher that's like on the
170
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.799
scale that I'm working with, they get to choose the
171
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.840
title of the book. So it was really funny because
172
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.320
I was like, oh, yeah, like, here are all my
173
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.759
great suggestions. It could be how to retrain your inner
174
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.360
voice to become a positive creative ally and like all
175
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.759
this stuff, and I'm like, what are they going to
176
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.919
pick which one of my suggestions?
177
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.159
And they come back and they're like fearless And I
178
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:58.240
was like, what, Like, how how am I did I
179
00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:58.879
write about that?
180
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.720
And I re read what I wrote, like literally re
181
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.480
read my book and was like, wow, I did.
182
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.159
I did?
183
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.440
And I added a section in the book at the
184
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.679
beginning which is it's in three sections, and the first
185
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.720
section is a framework for understanding how to do the
186
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.000
work of using affirmations.
187
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.080
So in that section there's now.
188
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.559
A piece which talks about the word fearless, and it
189
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:29.000
mentions that our language has limitations, and unfortunately, in the
190
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.039
English language, as far as I know, there isn't a
191
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:36.600
word like fear past or fear beyond, like there's no
192
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:41.240
word that means that. And yet the word fearless it
193
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.240
denotes that, and it evokes that, and so putting that
194
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.960
on the cover of a book and putting that in
195
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.120
a bookstore is going to pull the attention of someone
196
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.440
who is energetically a match to this literature. And I
197
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.279
think that it was just so brilliant of them to
198
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.840
choose that name. I wouldn't have chosen it, but I
199
00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:58.600
love that they did.
200
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.840
Yeah.
201
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.320
Now I struggle with this lot, and you may still
202
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.159
as well. But I know a lot of people do.
203
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:15.360
How can someone tell if the inner voice is intuition
204
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:16.919
versus fear.
205
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:24.039
Practice? There's no shortcut to it. There really isn't.
206
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.919
It's really just practice and what it boils down to
207
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.360
in my experience, and I'll say that a lot because
208
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.399
I really am speaking from my experience. And so for me,
209
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.279
what I am learning is that the more that I
210
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.559
get in touch with my heart, there's a frequency of
211
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.759
my heart, and it's not just a frequency. It's like
212
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.039
it's a whole symphony. It's not even a song. It's
213
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:53.399
this whole symphony. That is my name. It's my spiritual name.
214
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.320
It's who I am as a person made out of
215
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.759
all of these different, multi layered energetic patterns. Right, this
216
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.519
is my heart, It's in my heart, it's this code.
217
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.200
The more that I get in touch with that, the
218
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.840
more that I'm able to recognize what isn't that, and
219
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.200
the more that I recognize what that is, what that
220
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.600
sounds like, what that feels like, because that's how we
221
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.159
hear our own heart name is by what we feel.
222
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.879
Right, So the more that I can get in touch.
223
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.559
With that, I know what feels like it's coming from
224
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.840
that space, I know what feels like. It's in alignment
225
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.960
with that, I can actually hear my heart speaking and
226
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.240
guiding me, rather than being like, ah, I hear this voice,
227
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.279
but I don't really know is that my heart's voice
228
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.240
or not. No, I know my heart's voice. I know
229
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:41.039
it because I've done the work and continue to do
230
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.519
the work because it's never done of getting really in
231
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.080
touch with what that voice sounds like. So in my experience,
232
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.200
that is the most protective thing we can do.
233
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.200
That is the most.
234
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.679
What's a word like concise thing that we can do,
235
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.320
effective thing that we can do in order to go.
236
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.240
I don't need to listen to that. I need to
237
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.519
listen to this. I can stay on track because I
238
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.960
know what I'm listening to, right, And not only that,
239
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.440
but you're able when you're tuned in your heart, You're
240
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.200
able to tell what resonates with that and what doesn't.
241
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.120
And I'm a musician, so when I say resonates, I
242
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.840
really mean that, Like I mean that if this is
243
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:23.399
playing a tone and something else is playing that same tone,
244
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:27.039
it's in resonance, right, I can hear that rather than
245
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.799
being like that that person over there is playing the
246
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:32.559
tone of F. But I don't even know what my
247
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.639
tone is, so maybe I resonate with them, and maybe
248
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.039
I don't, Like I'm not sure, right, So it saves
249
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:42.000
you a lot of just like side quests, I suppose
250
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.759
to be really tapped into what your heart feels like.
251
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.639
Now, it I like that you bring up the musician
252
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.600
thing in vibration because you know, I used to play
253
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.960
music when I was in school, middle school, high school,
254
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.240
and I never really felt vibration or even anything really
255
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.120
other than the music until I opened up my myself
256
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.720
up to mediumship and then I started feeling it here.
257
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.960
I started feeling it here, I started feeling at my heart.
258
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.919
And I don't know why that is other than I
259
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.000
opened myself up. I always had a music a love
260
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:33.639
for music, but there wasn't that connection. So when I
261
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:38.919
first opened myself up and started feeling the vibration in
262
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:43.519
those areas for music, I found it fascinating. So that's
263
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.399
why I love that you're a musician and artist a dancer,
264
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.360
because I feel a lot of that creativity comes from
265
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.200
medium ship as well.
266
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:57.559
Yeah yeah, I in my experience, music is the most
267
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.600
paranormal thing that we have to be honest, Like that
268
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:06.600
transcends worlds like nothing else does. And I think I
269
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.679
used to think it was a coincidence that I kept
270
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.480
finding all of these extremely spiritual people who are also musicians,
271
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.799
Like I was meeting people because of music, and I'm like, WHOA,
272
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:16.679
Like she's also a medium?
273
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.559
That's crazy? What are the chances that she's a musician.
274
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.320
Enemy and now I'm like, Okay, this is how it works.
275
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.639
Like it's not like every medium is a musician and
276
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.440
every musician's a medium, but there's crossover for a reason.
277
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.480
Well, and I'm a fictional writer, so a lot of
278
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.639
the stuff I write about, I feel I'm tapping into
279
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:42.679
something that a lot of people don't. So how long
280
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.679
does it realistically take for affirmations to start working? Is
281
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:48.519
it instantly?
282
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.039
Is it?
283
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.279
You know it takes a little bit of time.
284
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.600
Yeah, it's a beautiful question.
285
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:59.279
And I think that we especially live in a situation
286
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.600
right now where we want things to work quickly and
287
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.079
by no fault of our own, Like we are uncomfortable,
288
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.240
so we want things to work quickly, right, we want
289
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.079
things to change. So the good news is immediately the
290
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:14.680
first time that you say in affirmation, it begins to work.
291
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.559
But it only works.
292
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.400
If you allow yourself to be present with the emotions
293
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.359
that come up when you say those words to yourself,
294
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:30.400
because that's the actual work. So the first time that
295
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.400
you say something to yourself, you're going to kind of
296
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.599
know which emotions are going to evoke some emotion for
297
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.920
you and which ones aren't. Right, Because I could say,
298
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.799
like I don't know something that just doesn't matter to
299
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.240
me really at all, Like I have a nice refrigerator,
300
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.400
like I don't care. That doesn't make me feel anything,
301
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:49.720
you know.
302
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.759
But if I said something like.
303
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:58.160
My friends think I'm really important, you know, like there's
304
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.640
more emotion to things like that. Always going to be
305
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.400
more emotion to relational things, first of all. So those
306
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.599
are great ones to start with.
307
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.240
And when I say that to myself, I.
308
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.119
Can choose what am I gonna do? How am I
309
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.119
gonna hold that container? How am I gonna hold that
310
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.319
space for myself to feel. Maybe I'm like in my
311
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.799
van and my four kids are all in back, each
312
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:21.799
having their own individual crisis, and I don't have any
313
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.359
space to like journal that out or you know, really
314
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.400
take note of what's coming up for me. And the
315
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.400
amount of presence that I can give myself is just
316
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.079
like a little bit even that even that is so
317
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:40.559
self loving. I can't even quantify that. Even just the
318
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.160
amount of presence that you actually realistically have in any
319
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.960
moment is such a self loving act. It changes you.
320
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.880
It changes your life, it really does. And that's the
321
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.559
part that changes your life is how you're showing up
322
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.720
to meet yourself when you're saying these things to yourself.
323
00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:59.799
How you're showing up to meet yourself when.
324
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.200
You're realizing what you've already been saying to yourself because
325
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.519
those things have been affirmations too. It's just about what
326
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.160
you've been affirming, and you start to notice what you've
327
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.759
been affirming and go, oh wow, like I'm not always
328
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.880
super nice to myself, or I've maybe been saying some
329
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.160
things that I used to believe that I needed to
330
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.960
believe back there because those things were keeping me safe,
331
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.480
those were coping mechanisms, or those were whatever. But now
332
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.839
I don't necessarily know that I need that. So it
333
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.240
starts to change your belief systems, and it starts to
334
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:31.759
change not only the way that you show up for yourself,
335
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.440
but the bar that you set for how the world
336
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.279
shows up to you. So then you're not only changing
337
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.119
your internal experience of the world, but you're also externally
338
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.000
changing the world because you're showing up to the world differently.
339
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.599
So it's really really big work, and it works really rapidly,
340
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.839
and it also works really slowly. Like this is something
341
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.480
that is a lifelong job. We do this forever we
342
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.039
do this the whole time, and that's why I wrote
343
00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.680
a lifelong book, like this book is designed to be
344
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.920
a panion that stays with you for the entirety of
345
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.400
the time that you're doing this work.
346
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.319
Now, do you feel that this is one of the
347
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.359
biggest mistakes people make when they're trying to chance their
348
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:22.000
vice and use affirmations? Is choosing affirmations that don't have
349
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.640
a reaction, emotional reaction for them, or what is in
350
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.279
your opinion, what is the big mistake, biggest mistake people make.
351
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.480
I think that is just bypassing emotion.
352
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:39.839
So there's there's kind of like an unlearning that a
353
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:41.680
lot of us are having to do at this time
354
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.319
too that have come through kind of the like world
355
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.440
of manifestation or law of attraction, or like if I
356
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.880
just think nice thoughts, nice things are going to happen.
357
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.359
And I'm pretty sure everyone who has tried that has
358
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.960
realized that that doesn't work, like has had that absolutely shattered.
359
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.680
Which is great, This is just a part of the process, right,
360
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.640
But the issue with that, that whole school.
361
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.880
Of thought is that first of all, there are forces.
362
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.960
That are at work in your life that are beyond
363
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:17.000
your personality. That are beyond your character, that are beyond
364
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.839
your ego. And I keep using those three words because
365
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.680
they're synonyms for each other, and I want us to
366
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.480
understand that. And the best thing that we can do
367
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.680
is again learn what love feels like for us, so
368
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.839
that we're on board with the larger power of life
369
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.039
that is living us. Whatever you want to call that power.
370
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.359
In my book, I just call it life. I call
371
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.359
it life with the big L. And when we can
372
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.240
get on board with that, it doesn't feel so scary
373
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.759
to feel our feelings because we're not identified with our
374
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.559
feelings anymore. We're identified with our soul, or with our heart,
375
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:54.759
or with that life energy, or with whatever is beyond
376
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:56.599
behind the character.
377
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:58.880
Actually mobilizing it with life force.
378
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:01.599
So if you don't believe that you're going to be
379
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:05.000
a different person every time that your emotion shifts or
380
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.920
every time that your thoughts shift, it's not so scary
381
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.200
to let those things actually move and change. I think
382
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.519
that a lot of us are stuck in a gridlock
383
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.880
of thought and emotion where the thought just keeps cycling
384
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.359
and the emotion just kind of stays the same, and
385
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:25.000
it depletes the life force energy in people because we
386
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:29.079
can see kids and how they've got endless just boundless energy,
387
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.759
and also they feel things fully one hundred percent all
388
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.559
the way through. Whenever something happens, Like if something happens
389
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.440
and my two year old is not about it, he
390
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:39.000
will let you know. Everyone will know, everyone in the
391
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.319
neighborhood will know. He's very loud, and then he's done,
392
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:45.400
is ready to do something else because he let that
393
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.920
emotion flow through him freely. Now for adults, of course,
394
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.680
we don't have a social and cultural structure that allows
395
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:55.519
for us to express that in quite the same way.
396
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.599
But when we can learn how to at least be
397
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.720
present and honest with what we're feeling, then the affirmations work.
398
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.799
So I think the biggest mistake is just that we're
399
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.480
still a little afraid of feeling.
400
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:09.839
We're afraid of our feelings.
401
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:12.119
We think that they're going to take us, they're not
402
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.000
going to bring us back, We're not going to be
403
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.599
able to handle it. So those are some of the
404
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:20.039
beliefs that start to come up into your awareness when
405
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:22.599
you do this work. It's not just all the things
406
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.279
that are in the way of I'm going to get
407
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.799
the house that I want. It's like, oh, Wow, this
408
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:31.319
actually goes really really deep, like I'm afraid of my feelings,
409
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.039
or you start to realize these things about yourself and
410
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.519
then you have the opportunity to slowly, carefully, with care
411
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.400
shift those beliefs over time.
412
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.559
Now we've talked about this a little bit about being
413
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:53.839
a psychic medium. How does that ability influence your work
414
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.839
with affirmations?
415
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:01.160
Being psychic or being a medium, or being a shaman,
416
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:06.440
or being intuitive or a mystic or any of these words,
417
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:10.759
an oracle, any of these words that mean more.
418
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.680
Tapped in than the average person.
419
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.720
The ability to experience what's going on behind what maybe
420
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.799
we would call the veil, or like your five senses,
421
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.319
your typical average day. All of those things require an
422
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.240
ability to perceive what is happening on levels that are
423
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:36.119
more subtle than most people are experiencing themselves, their lives,
424
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.960
and the world around them. This work, working with affirmations
425
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.599
and showing up with presence for whatever comes up in
426
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:49.240
you is teaching you how to attune yourself to the
427
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.319
more subtle realms of reality. So it is actually the
428
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:57.640
same work, and the word, the umbrella word that can
429
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:04.160
encompass medium, oracle, mystic, all the things is human and
430
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.319
we are all that, so we all get to do this,
431
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:09.000
we all get to be this, we all get to
432
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.599
have this connection to the other side, whether you felt
433
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:12.720
like you were born with it or not.
434
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.839
I liken it to some people when they're three.
435
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:19.519
Years old can play piano, and some people have to
436
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.440
learn it for twenty years before they're able to achieve
437
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.039
the same level of success. You know, we've all got
438
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:30.200
a different process with that, and we could make ideas
439
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.160
about why that is. But ultimately, some of us come
440
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:36.559
in and we're getting all this information from the other
441
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:39.079
side just straight off the bat. Some of us have
442
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:43.240
to attune ourselves to those more subtle realms of reality.
443
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:49.440
And either path is really beneficial to the person, and
444
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.359
either path is really perfect for that person. But I
445
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:57.000
think that it benefits every single human being to attune
446
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.440
themselves in that way to what is more subtle, because
447
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.480
not only are you going to tune yourself to more
448
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:07.960
information that comes from beyond you, you're also attuning yourself
449
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.279
to the information that comes from within you. And you
450
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.079
could call those one and the same, really, but you're
451
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:18.000
giving yourself more to work with, and that's really really beneficial.
452
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:27.319
Have you ever seen an affirmation create like a dramatic
453
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.960
or even unexpected shift in someone else's life or even
454
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:31.559
in your life.
455
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.559
There have been times that I have, but it's kind
456
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:35.880
of this.
457
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:40.240
Like like touch and go thing, Like what I've seen
458
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:43.920
for the most part is like whoa, this opens something
459
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:45.720
up that's really big and scary for me. I'm gonna
460
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.640
just like close that for now a little bit, you know.
461
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:53.359
And so the thing is we have agency in this.
462
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:57.119
Like they say, once you see something, you can't unsee it.
463
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.440
But like, honestly, we kind of can be really good
464
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.519
at tricking ours into believing that we did not just
465
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:05.200
see that, and that does happen a lot in affirmation work.
466
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:06.160
It's like you can just.
467
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.759
Like hip open this old wound or this thing in
468
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:11.839
your heart or this part of yourself and then go,
469
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:17.720
that's great. I actually don't have the capacity to fully
470
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:21.359
dive into that right now or to fully experience that
471
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:24.359
right now. And that's why I like keeping a journal,
472
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:27.920
because sometimes we can forget the magnitude of something that
473
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:30.119
we experienced if we don't write down what it actually
474
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:31.880
felt like to experience it in that day.
475
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:34.920
So that can be a really positive practice for this
476
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.480
work too.
477
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:39.519
Is like you can have something just totally shatter you
478
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:41.720
and write that down and then kind of like pick
479
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:43.400
yourself up and put it back together and stuff and
480
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:44.920
go through the next few days and be like, Oh,
481
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:45.920
that wasn't that big of a deal.
482
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.920
Your journal says it was, so you probably want to.
483
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.559
Go revisit that, right, and maybe you just need to
484
00:27:53.119 --> 00:28:00.279
cultivate the friendships, the therapist, the eating breakfast, the you know,
485
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.000
you do the right things with your body for the day,
486
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.839
Like you might need something different in order to be
487
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.160
able to process what it is.
488
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:08.920
That came up for you.
489
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:14.519
But ultimately we really do have agency in deciding how
490
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.519
we go about that. It's not the same as like
491
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.400
a traumatic life event that would be something that feels
492
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.400
like it's happening to you or it's like fine. It's
493
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:29.480
much more like I said, like we're tapping into what
494
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:34.400
is subtle. We're tuning into what's already there. It's already there,
495
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:36.599
it's not something new. None of this is going to
496
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:40.160
bring up something that wasn't there before. So it's really
497
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.640
just like stripping back the layers and we get to
498
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:44.799
decide how much do we want to do that in
499
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:46.319
this moment in this moment in.
500
00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:47.799
This day, you know.
501
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:50.559
So that's my experience with it personally, and I'm sure
502
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:56.200
other readers have more to say on that too.
503
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:01.240
Do affirmations have an energetic or meporation component to it.
504
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.880
The words themselves or.
505
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:12.240
Just the belief in them in the affirmations?
506
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:16.240
There's layers to that, because there are the words themselves,
507
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:21.000
which carry their own energy from the lineage of the language,
508
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.839
which is going to be different for our language compared
509
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.880
to other languages. And then there's also the person that
510
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:31.279
offered the affirmation and the energy that they're offering with it.
511
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:35.759
There's your filter and how much of that you're willing51200:29:35.880 --> 00:29:39.119
to take in on subtle levels. Are you willing to51300:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.319
actually take the affirmation as I'm giving it, or are51400:29:41.319 --> 00:29:43.680
you kind of stripping some of that back? And then51500:29:43.720 --> 00:29:46.680
there's your own relationship with the words, the phrase or51600:29:46.680 --> 00:29:51.680
the statement, and whatever that stimulates in this person versus51700:29:51.720 --> 00:29:55.200
that person is going to be different. So each person51800:29:55.279 --> 00:30:00.279
receives each affirmation really differently, and certain things can be51900:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.400
really helpful or really stimulating for certain people or do52000:30:04.519 --> 00:30:05.599
nothing for other people.52100:30:05.640 --> 00:30:06.720
It just kind of depends.52200:30:06.799 --> 00:30:10.319
But it's also the reason that I wrote fearless the52300:30:10.319 --> 00:30:13.759
way that I did, which is that the chapter heading52400:30:13.960 --> 00:30:17.480
is the affirmation and then the chapter that follows is52500:30:17.680 --> 00:30:23.960
the esoteric spiritual mental health, emotional health, like mind, body52600:30:24.000 --> 00:30:29.480
spirit kind of information context that allows that phrase to52700:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.920
mean something for you.52800:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.880
Now, does meditation help with affirmations? It's something I've actually52900:30:37.920 --> 00:30:39.480
never asked anybody before.53000:30:40.359 --> 00:30:40.720
M M.53100:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.559
Yeah. Well, and so there are different types of meditation,53200:30:43.640 --> 00:30:49.440
and again I would just like discern which type of53300:30:50.160 --> 00:30:56.400
meditation we're talking about, because using affirmations is meditation. Whenever53400:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.000
you meet yourself with presents, you're in a state of meditation.53500:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.279
But like if you're talking about specific type of brain53600:31:01.319 --> 00:31:05.480
weights or like the type of meditation where you lay53700:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.079
down in your quiet for a period of time, that53800:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.000
is different with affirmations. What is a given is that53900:31:12.039 --> 00:31:16.119
there's a certain amount of mindfulness meditation. There's a level54000:31:16.160 --> 00:31:20.279
of heart coherence that we're cultivating when we do this work.54100:31:20.759 --> 00:31:24.440
And outside of that, I would say yes, absolutely. Giving54200:31:24.480 --> 00:31:29.200
yourself time to be still, giving yourself time to attune54300:31:29.319 --> 00:31:36.359
to stillness, to music and nature, to the pressure of54400:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.799
your feet on the ground as you're walking, to the54500:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.720
movement in your body when you're dancing, to the way54600:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.000
that the water feels on your skin when you're bathing,54700:31:45.440 --> 00:31:47.279
any of these things that we might consider to be54800:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.680
other forms of meditation, those are all also attuning you54900:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.160
to what is happening on more subtle levels within you.55000:31:55.319 --> 00:31:59.359
So that's going to further the work of working with55100:31:59.400 --> 00:31:59.960
the affirmation.55200:32:03.160 --> 00:32:07.920
We've brought up creativity a little bit here. Now, can55300:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.279
creativity amplify affirmations music, writing, art?55400:32:13.799 --> 00:32:19.640
Absolutely, it's crucial. My favorite affirmation in the entire book55500:32:19.720 --> 00:32:23.319
is I am creative, and it talks about viewing the55600:32:23.359 --> 00:32:27.119
world through the lens of the artists, and how being55700:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.519
an artist isn't about what you produce and whether or55800:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.759
not you think it's art or someone else thinks it's art.55900:32:31.799 --> 00:32:33.759
It's just about the way that you see the world.56000:32:34.359 --> 00:32:38.200
So one of the main efforts of this book is56100:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.519
to retrain the mind of the reader to believe that56200:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.000
they are a creative person, because we are.56300:32:45.440 --> 00:32:46.440
We're creating all the time.56400:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.759
I created this cup of tea before I sat down56500:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.519
to do this interview, and now I'm creating the experience56600:32:52.559 --> 00:32:53.200
of drinking it.56700:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.599
And talking to you, you know, So, what's.56800:32:58.359 --> 00:33:02.799
To say that the creativity that goes into building my56900:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.640
day is more or less artistic than the music video57000:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.839
that I just made, you know. So, I think that57100:33:12.279 --> 00:33:16.000
when we remember that we're creative, then we get to57200:33:16.039 --> 00:33:20.759
participate in a way that is more lighthearted, that's more fun,57300:33:20.839 --> 00:33:26.160
that's more playful, which all of those things are high high, spiritual.57400:33:25.759 --> 00:33:26.720
Energetic states.57500:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.000
And when we're participating in our lives in that way,57600:33:30.200 --> 00:33:33.960
viewing ourselves as creative beings, we don't see limitations the57700:33:33.960 --> 00:33:39.680
same way. We see limitations more as the rules of57800:33:40.640 --> 00:33:42.200
the game that are kind of like keeping us on57900:33:42.240 --> 00:33:44.680
the board in a good way, right, Like if I'm58000:33:44.680 --> 00:33:47.839
playing Trouble, the little pieces and like bopper thing in58100:33:47.880 --> 00:33:50.720
the middle. If I'm playing Trouble and I'm like, I58200:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.559
have my piece on like the chair, like I'm not,58300:33:54.839 --> 00:33:57.240
I'm no longer playing the game, right, and that's not58400:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.759
fun for me or for anybody that I'm supposed to58500:33:59.799 --> 00:34:04.359
be playing with. Like, boundaries are great, limitations can be58600:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.640
great as long as we agree with the limitations that58700:34:07.720 --> 00:34:12.840
we're working within. And so when we remember ourselves as58800:34:12.880 --> 00:34:16.599
creative and we use tools, whether that be painting or.58900:34:18.559 --> 00:34:21.679
Drawing or dancing or music or.59000:34:21.639 --> 00:34:26.079
Whatever, would be considered like art or something that we59100:34:26.119 --> 00:34:30.880
wouldn't even consider art. Any of those things can be59200:34:30.960 --> 00:34:34.880
done with the energy of an artist, with the energy59300:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.599
of a creative person, a creator, And that puts us59400:34:38.639 --> 00:34:41.840
in the flow state, which means that we're working with59500:34:42.039 --> 00:34:46.480
the larger aspect of creator that is actually creating us59600:34:46.760 --> 00:34:49.920
by living us. So I talk about in my book59700:34:49.960 --> 00:34:54.000
how life is the energy that lives us. Life is59800:34:54.320 --> 00:34:58.719
mobilizing us. Life is what makes it so that instead59900:34:58.719 --> 00:35:02.760
of instead of having to come up with the energy60000:35:02.880 --> 00:35:06.679
to place my foot here and then here and then here,60100:35:07.360 --> 00:35:11.320
I'm just being pushed or I'm being pulled even better,60200:35:11.559 --> 00:35:15.400
pulled into my future. Right, I can connect with the60300:35:15.519 --> 00:35:17.480
vision of my future self and just ask her to60400:35:17.519 --> 00:35:19.800
pull me forward into that vision.60500:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.199
So when we remember ourselves as creative.60600:35:22.760 --> 00:35:26.320
Beings, we can tap into these states of energy that60700:35:26.480 --> 00:35:31.280
make life a lot easier because we're finding the energy60800:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.360
to do our day, or to do our purpose, or60900:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.639
to do our lives from a different source. And it's61000:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.679
a source that has a lot more energy than just61100:35:39.760 --> 00:35:44.280
our little selves. So yes, absolutely viewing yourself as a61200:35:44.320 --> 00:35:48.039
creative and doing creative things is going to help you61300:35:48.440 --> 00:35:51.559
with these affirmations and is actually it's a part of61400:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.519
the work. It's a part of what's built into the61500:35:53.519 --> 00:35:56.039
book in how you're retraining your inner voice.61600:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.679
Now, Uh, a lot of people, including myself again, I61700:36:02.719 --> 00:36:07.039
have a hard time with stillness or being silent, or61800:36:07.079 --> 00:36:11.719
even just being in silence. What role does that have61900:36:12.159 --> 00:36:14.880
in reconnecting with yourself, because I mean, there are times62000:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.639
that it does help me, but the majority of the62100:36:17.679 --> 00:36:21.159
time I cannot be in silence. There still is sure.62200:36:21.880 --> 00:36:25.519
Well, I'll give you kind of an esoteric answer to that,62300:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.880
which is that you're actually in stillness all the time anyway,62400:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.199
and whether or not you're aware of that is the62500:36:34.239 --> 00:36:40.360
real question. Because there are layers and levels to how62600:36:40.400 --> 00:36:43.880
you're existing in any moment that you're existing, and there's62700:36:43.960 --> 00:36:46.239
this there's what's going on around us. You know, there's62800:36:46.239 --> 00:36:48.920
the car driving by, there's the bird flying by, there's62900:36:49.159 --> 00:36:52.400
whatever's demanding your attention on this level, and then under63000:36:52.400 --> 00:36:56.679
that there's stillness. And the goal is to create the63100:36:56.719 --> 00:37:01.800
ability to focus dually on both at the same time,63200:37:02.679 --> 00:37:06.119
so to have this anchor in stillness and be able63300:37:06.119 --> 00:37:08.320
to fully participate in the world at the same time.63400:37:08.440 --> 00:37:11.280
So it's kind of living in this behind the veil63500:37:11.400 --> 00:37:15.079
space and also participating in everything that's on this three63600:37:15.159 --> 00:37:18.960
D side of the veil as well. When we're uncomfortable63700:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.239
with stillness, I don't even start with sit down and63800:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.440
be quiet for ten minutes a day. It's more like,63900:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.199
can you drop into the part of yourself that is64000:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.960
still already, what's not moving when.64100:37:30.760 --> 00:37:31.519
Everything else is.64200:37:31.599 --> 00:37:35.480
And sometimes even just that prompt is enough to start64300:37:35.519 --> 00:37:39.360
to open up a new space of possibility in the64400:37:39.440 --> 00:37:43.559
mind for how to access stillness. It's really powerful the64500:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.760
way that we can open doors with words, because the64600:37:46.800 --> 00:37:49.400
words that I'm sharing with you around that, they're not64700:37:49.519 --> 00:37:53.239
just words, They're me sharing some piece of my energetic64800:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.920
experience with you as well, which is like a little64900:37:56.360 --> 00:37:59.960
key that can unlock something and add like a dimension65000:38:00.679 --> 00:38:04.440
of world to your experience.65100:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.480
Now, a lot of people would feel this a lot65200:38:11.480 --> 00:38:13.880
of times, and or just in parts of their lives65300:38:13.880 --> 00:38:17.320
where they feel like they're stuck in fear. What would65400:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.079
you say to somebody who's feeling that.65500:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.920
That's obviously I mean, just you know this because of65600:38:23.960 --> 00:38:25.639
the title, But that is a really big part of65700:38:25.679 --> 00:38:30.360
what this book works on. And when we're stuck in fear.65800:38:30.480 --> 00:38:33.679
We have two things going on. We have patterned thinking65900:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.000
and this is like beyond. We're not even talking about66000:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.440
the nervous system right here. It's just these two pieces.66100:38:40.800 --> 00:38:41.239
So we have.66200:38:41.239 --> 00:38:44.679
Pattern thinking and we have an emotion that those thoughts66300:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.920
are attached to. And so the first thing that you66400:38:47.960 --> 00:38:52.079
need to do is when a fear based thought comes66500:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.320
into your mind, if that's what you're noticing. First, if66600:38:54.360 --> 00:38:56.880
you notice the thought, Oh, there's that thought again, I'm66700:38:56.920 --> 00:38:58.599
afraid that I won't be able to pay my rent66800:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.679
because my mind just thought, what if I can't pay66900:39:01.679 --> 00:39:03.760
my rent? Like, maybe that's the thought that you notice.67000:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.599
Then what I'll ask you to do is to notice67100:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.760
the sensation in your body, in your physical body. What67200:39:10.800 --> 00:39:14.079
does your physical body feel like when that thought comes up?67300:39:14.079 --> 00:39:18.320
And sometimes we've been absent from the body in a67400:39:18.559 --> 00:39:22.360
present way for so long that we're like nothing, I67500:39:22.360 --> 00:39:26.159
don't feel anything. And that might be true in that67600:39:26.280 --> 00:39:28.800
moment that you don't feel anything, but it's because you're67700:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.480
not aware of what's actually already there. And the more67800:39:32.599 --> 00:39:35.400
that you notice the thought and then you drop into67900:39:35.440 --> 00:39:39.519
the body, what does my body feel like? Oh, now68000:39:39.599 --> 00:39:41.840
I actually notice this one little thing Oh, now I68100:39:41.920 --> 00:39:45.199
notice these two things. Oh now I notice that this68200:39:45.239 --> 00:39:47.679
one little sensation is actually like a tightness in my68300:39:47.719 --> 00:39:50.599
whole chest. Oh now I notice that. You know, So68400:39:50.639 --> 00:39:55.719
that the noticing expands as we're present with ourselves by68500:39:55.719 --> 00:39:58.920
asking the question. So, if you notice the thought first,68600:39:59.360 --> 00:40:03.559
you ask the body. Now, if you notice the body first,68700:40:03.840 --> 00:40:07.599
you ask the thought. So let's flip it around. For example,68800:40:08.480 --> 00:40:10.599
let's say that I just noticed that I'm feeling really68900:40:10.679 --> 00:40:12.840
tight and I'm feeling really scared, I'm feeling really panicky69000:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.519
or really anxious, and I don't know why. Well, then69100:40:15.559 --> 00:40:17.760
we go to the thought and we ask what am69200:40:17.800 --> 00:40:18.719
I thinking right now?69300:40:19.360 --> 00:40:20.440
What did I just think?69400:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.599
Can I follow my train of thought back to see69500:40:23.599 --> 00:40:27.480
what I thought right before that sensation began, or if69600:40:27.480 --> 00:40:29.960
it's something that's been lasting longer than that, maybe a69700:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.960
period of days. Is there something that I have been69800:40:33.119 --> 00:40:36.199
kind of that's been on my mind? Or how am69900:40:36.239 --> 00:40:38.960
I talking to myself about the things that are present70000:40:39.039 --> 00:40:41.679
in my life right now, in my experience and my circumstances.70100:40:42.280 --> 00:40:45.800
There are also ways that we can cut that. So70200:40:46.639 --> 00:40:49.320
let's say, for example, you're like, I don't even know70300:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.079
the last time that I felt relaxed or at ease70400:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.760
like this anxiety has been present for so long that70500:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.079
I can't even trace it. I can't even find a70600:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.840
single thought that it's attached to. It's all my thoughts.70700:41:00.840 --> 00:41:03.360
It's just there all the time. And then there are70800:41:03.400 --> 00:41:05.639
ways that we can go into the body and work70900:41:05.679 --> 00:41:09.079
on the level of the body to retrain the body71000:41:09.119 --> 00:41:12.119
into feeling safe. So, like I said at the beginning,71100:41:13.039 --> 00:41:16.119
we've got all these different angles that we can work71200:41:16.159 --> 00:41:23.400
from to address the same root issues. And you can71300:41:23.440 --> 00:41:25.440
work from the physical, you can work from the mental,71400:41:25.559 --> 00:41:29.679
the emotional, the energetic, the spiritual. You know. So we've71500:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.000
got a lot of options there. But that's just if71600:41:32.000 --> 00:41:34.480
you want to work from the mental first or the71700:41:34.519 --> 00:41:36.840
emotional first. And when I say the emotional first, I'm71800:41:36.880 --> 00:41:40.800
talking about how that emotion feels in your body, because71900:41:40.800 --> 00:41:43.840
that's our way to actually access the emotion, because our72000:41:43.880 --> 00:41:45.519
body is an emotional instrument.72100:41:49.360 --> 00:41:53.039
Now, I would love it, and you can absolutely say no,72200:41:53.360 --> 00:41:55.559
but I would love it if you would share an72300:41:55.599 --> 00:42:00.639
affirmation that someone can use today to start shifting their mindset.72400:42:01.800 --> 00:42:02.119
Yeah.72500:42:02.159 --> 00:42:10.159
Sure, once, see you what comes to mind. Oh, here's72600:42:10.199 --> 00:42:12.039
the one that's going to be really fun.72700:42:13.519 --> 00:42:14.960
This is one that I use all the.72800:42:14.960 --> 00:42:20.960
Time, and I have such a such a different day72900:42:21.000 --> 00:42:23.320
to day relationship with it. I think it's a good one.73000:42:24.159 --> 00:42:27.960
I love to use the affirmation there is enough time.73100:42:30.199 --> 00:42:35.440
It's very challenging, it's very stimulating, it's very like oftentimes73200:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.800
I'm like, that's just absolutely not true, Like that's the73300:42:37.800 --> 00:42:39.840
first thing that will come up for me. But it73400:42:39.920 --> 00:42:43.199
has been incredible in my life to see how that73500:42:43.639 --> 00:42:48.800
how that affirmation works as information because I'm noticing that73600:42:48.840 --> 00:42:53.039
what it does is it will downregulate my nervous system73700:42:54.239 --> 00:42:59.480
and everything starts to flow differently when my body is73800:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.679
at a calm. So like, for example, I'm trying to73900:43:02.679 --> 00:43:04.480
get out the door in the morning, I have four kids,74000:43:04.599 --> 00:43:06.480
nobody has their shoes on. We were supposed to leave74100:43:06.519 --> 00:43:09.320
six minutes ago. I could approach that from like, you guys,74200:43:09.440 --> 00:43:10.079
get your shoes on.74300:43:10.119 --> 00:43:12.519
I like, enough time, We're all gonna be like for all.74400:43:13.559 --> 00:43:15.639
That's an option, right, That's an option that I definitely74500:43:15.679 --> 00:43:21.840
choose sometimes. And then there's this other option, which is, Okay,74600:43:22.760 --> 00:43:23.639
there is enough time.74700:43:24.559 --> 00:43:25.320
There's enough time.74800:43:26.360 --> 00:43:28.679
Maybe that doesn't mean that we're going to get to74900:43:28.719 --> 00:43:33.360
school on time. Maybe that doesn't mean that anybody's gonna75000:43:33.400 --> 00:43:37.719
listen to me. Maybe there's no expectation attached to me75100:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.920
saying that affirmation, But it does something to my body.75200:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.559
It makes my body feel calm. It makes my body75300:43:45.679 --> 00:43:48.360
able to handle the fact that four people are saying75400:43:48.400 --> 00:43:49.559
four different things.75500:43:49.280 --> 00:43:50.320
To me at the same time.75600:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.079
It makes it so that the flow of the day75700:43:54.239 --> 00:43:56.639
somehow still works even if we are a little bit late.75800:43:57.000 --> 00:43:58.840
It makes being a little bit late not as big75900:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.400
of a deal. It just it changes things because it76000:44:01.480 --> 00:44:05.360
changes my perspective in how I'm coming into the situation.76100:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.880
So I've had experiences where it just does that, it76200:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.320
just regulates me, makes everything flow better.76300:44:11.559 --> 00:44:13.840
And then I've also had experiences.76400:44:13.239 --> 00:44:16.960
That are like really time warpy, bendy things where I'm like,76500:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.360
that doesn't actually make sense that there all of a sudden,76600:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.840
it literally is enough time, and.76700:44:26.280 --> 00:44:27.880
Like, I don't understand how that worked.76800:44:28.840 --> 00:44:33.480
So all of these affirmations, I will say they work76900:44:33.519 --> 00:44:35.920
with the mind, They work with the conscious mind, the77000:44:35.960 --> 00:44:40.000
subconscious mind, the emotions, the body, but they also work77100:44:40.079 --> 00:44:42.119
beyond all of that in a way that I don't77200:44:42.159 --> 00:44:46.960
even understand, and I am so curious about it, and77300:44:47.000 --> 00:44:49.280
that's one of the reasons that I keep coming back77400:44:49.360 --> 00:44:56.519
to writing about affirmations and using them in my own life.77500:44:56.800 --> 00:44:58.760
Well, and that's the one thing I really loved about77600:44:58.760 --> 00:45:02.480
the book was you had affirmations for so many different77700:45:02.519 --> 00:45:09.320
aspects of someone's life now. And I honestly don't understand77800:45:09.360 --> 00:45:11.840
the affirmations enough to say yes or no on this,77900:45:11.920 --> 00:45:15.639
But like, should someone be going through like one of78000:45:15.679 --> 00:45:19.320
these affirmations a day finding just what applies to their78100:45:19.360 --> 00:45:21.920
life at the time, What are your thoughts on that?78200:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.440
Yeah, well, I think it's kind of a choose your78300:45:24.440 --> 00:45:28.400
own adventure. And ideally, the one thing that I would78400:45:28.440 --> 00:45:31.360
say is consider this book to be a lifelong companion.78500:45:32.280 --> 00:45:33.920
And with that, you can read it.78600:45:33.880 --> 00:45:37.880
Straight through in a weekend and then read it straight78700:45:37.920 --> 00:45:41.440
through again the next weekend. That's cool, and maybe you'll78800:45:41.480 --> 00:45:44.119
get a little bit of something different both times. And78900:45:44.159 --> 00:45:48.079
you will, because actually, each time that you come to79000:45:48.119 --> 00:45:51.440
these affirmations, you're bringing a new version of yourself. So79100:45:51.599 --> 00:45:53.719
you're going to be able to download and pick up79200:45:53.840 --> 00:45:57.360
and pull out different things than you were the time79300:45:57.400 --> 00:46:01.519
before that. And it's like an infinitely layered cake, Like79400:46:02.079 --> 00:46:04.079
the first time that you eat the cake, you might79500:46:04.199 --> 00:46:06.320
only taste the tap layer and you're like, Ooh, that79600:46:06.400 --> 00:46:06.679
was good.79700:46:06.679 --> 00:46:08.000
That was strawberry, And.79800:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.440
Then the second time you're like, whoa look at that?79900:46:10.599 --> 00:46:13.119
Who knew that there was actually vanilla under there too?80000:46:13.599 --> 00:46:15.920
And then the next time you're like and there's frosting,80100:46:16.239 --> 00:46:20.159
Like what this is crazy? And it just keeps going80200:46:20.280 --> 00:46:23.880
because you're bringing a level of yourself to the book80300:46:24.480 --> 00:46:28.360
that is more attuned to the subtle, so you're able80400:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.280
to pick up on more of what's actually there. So80500:46:31.400 --> 00:46:34.719
each time you meet the words, you meet more of80600:46:34.760 --> 00:46:38.719
what's actually there. So you'll use this as a lifelong80700:46:38.760 --> 00:46:41.480
companion because you will keep coming back and picking up80800:46:41.519 --> 00:46:46.679
new things. I have friends who read one affirmation every80900:46:46.679 --> 00:46:47.199
other day.81000:46:47.639 --> 00:46:49.920
That's been one that I've liked, like the pattern of81100:46:49.960 --> 00:46:50.960
having a.81200:46:51.039 --> 00:46:53.440
Day to read, a day to integrate, a day to read,81300:46:53.519 --> 00:46:57.000
a day to integrate. I have another friend who uses81400:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.840
these affirmations along with her daily devotion practice that she81500:47:01.000 --> 00:47:05.920
does in her like with her religious group. There are81600:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.639
other people who are using this book as a read81700:47:08.719 --> 00:47:12.159
in their book club and coming together to talk about81800:47:12.159 --> 00:47:14.679
it so that they have a way to process the81900:47:15.519 --> 00:47:18.840
affirmations and do the integration together as a group. I82000:47:18.880 --> 00:47:21.039
know other people who have just read it at their82100:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.559
leisure straight through. I myself have read it.82200:47:24.480 --> 00:47:26.159
Over and over and over and over and over.82300:47:26.039 --> 00:47:29.599
Again as I've been writing it, editing it, and then82400:47:29.679 --> 00:47:32.599
reading it and going I just I don't understand how82500:47:32.599 --> 00:47:35.840
I wrote the thing that I need to read, Like,82600:47:37.800 --> 00:47:41.159
I clearly wrote this for myself and also everybody else.82700:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.280
So I think they're really infinite ways that you can82800:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.320
pick it up and work with it. And I love82900:47:47.440 --> 00:47:50.719
to open books, just go like, give me something and83000:47:50.840 --> 00:47:52.920
open to a random page and just see what's there too,83100:47:53.039 --> 00:47:54.840
so you can use it like an oracle card deck.83200:47:54.880 --> 00:47:58.000
You can just pick one affirmation and it's really fun.83300:47:58.320 --> 00:48:02.320
It's just a fun It's a really fun tool. Well.83400:48:02.360 --> 00:48:06.719
I love that you say that through writing it and83500:48:06.840 --> 00:48:10.519
editing it, you read through it, and you wrote it83600:48:10.559 --> 00:48:14.480
for yourself. Something that was told to me years ago83700:48:15.960 --> 00:48:21.079
is that as a writer, write for yourself first and83800:48:21.119 --> 00:48:26.079
then write for your readers. Yeah, and I feel that83900:48:26.119 --> 00:48:28.920
can be one and the same as you're already saying now,84000:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.320
so because you are your own reader as.84100:48:32.239 --> 00:48:35.239
A exactly.84200:48:36.440 --> 00:48:39.639
Now, what is one thing that you hope people take84300:48:40.360 --> 00:48:41.280
away from this book?84400:48:42.559 --> 00:48:47.039
I hope that people take away the permission to create84500:48:47.079 --> 00:48:51.360
something when you're not finished with your process yet, to84600:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.679
not be afraid to be messy or to still be84700:48:53.719 --> 00:48:55.360
in the middle of it before you share it.84800:48:55.800 --> 00:48:58.840
Because I could have waited until I was on my84900:48:58.880 --> 00:49:02.079
deathbed to put this book so that I could make85000:49:02.119 --> 00:49:07.519
it done, you know, so that it was everything that85100:49:07.519 --> 00:49:10.000
I've learned in my life. And that's not what I chose,85200:49:10.039 --> 00:49:12.239
because I know that there are people that are ready85300:49:12.239 --> 00:49:14.679
to read what I've learned so far right now, and85400:49:14.719 --> 00:49:16.519
there are people that are ready to listen to what85500:49:16.559 --> 00:49:19.800
you've learned so far right now. And your stories are85600:49:19.840 --> 00:49:23.159
really valuable, not only because you're literally the only person85700:49:23.159 --> 00:49:27.920
who's experienced life from your perspective, which makes you inherently85800:49:28.000 --> 00:49:31.039
valuable and makes your stories absolute gold.85900:49:31.440 --> 00:49:35.719
But also because the fact that they're not finished allows86000:49:35.760 --> 00:49:39.400
other people to become collaborators in that story with you,86100:49:39.800 --> 00:49:42.039
whether or not you even realize that there are there86200:49:42.079 --> 00:49:46.840
are webs of energy that are far more complicated than86300:49:46.880 --> 00:49:49.880
anything that we understand, and when we offer parts of86400:49:49.920 --> 00:49:53.320
ourselves to other people through our creations, we're inviting other86500:49:53.360 --> 00:49:55.320
people to become a part of our creations.86600:49:55.320 --> 00:49:58.760
And I think that is so beautiful, and I think86700:49:58.760 --> 00:50:00.599
that's what we're here for, and I think that's what86800:50:00.679 --> 00:50:01.880
makes us feel fulfilled.86900:50:02.360 --> 00:50:05.320
And I think that is the salve to so much.87000:50:05.159 --> 00:50:10.880
Of the drain and the fatigue and the lifelessness that87100:50:11.000 --> 00:50:13.280
a lot of us experience as adults, as we're just87200:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.760
meeting the expectations and the demands of our life. When87300:50:16.800 --> 00:50:20.280
we connect with other people and we share what we have,87400:50:20.599 --> 00:50:23.559
what we have to give, our stories in whatever way87500:50:23.599 --> 00:50:26.920
we have to share them, we're doing something that feels87600:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.480
important and it feels purposeful because we can feel the87700:50:30.519 --> 00:50:34.239
power in the connection that it creates. So I want87800:50:34.280 --> 00:50:38.039
you to take away from this interview, at least even87900:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.599
if you never pick up the book, but also from88000:50:40.599 --> 00:50:44.519
the book, that you have something worthwhile to share and88100:50:44.599 --> 00:50:47.480
there's really no point in waiting to share it. You can,88200:50:47.880 --> 00:50:49.880
you can polish it and take as long as you want,88300:50:49.960 --> 00:50:53.159
that's fine, but please do share it.88400:50:55.800 --> 00:50:58.320
All right, Well, it is about time to let you go.88500:50:58.480 --> 00:51:00.519

recommend starting with the album between.89500:51:32.639 --> 00:51:38.519
Awesome Now, just as a caveat to that your music89600:51:38.639 --> 00:51:42.760
does it have to do with like affirmations, medium shift89700:51:42.760 --> 00:51:44.119
stuff like that, or is it just more of an89800:51:44.159 --> 00:51:45.159
expression of yourself?89900:51:45.679 --> 00:51:49.960
It's both, yeah, yeah, and the album Between it it90000:51:50.039 --> 00:51:54.280
almost does the same work that this book does, but90100:51:54.400 --> 00:51:56.400
in a musical form and not in a way where90200:51:56.440 --> 00:51:58.800
it's just like I love myself.90300:51:58.440 --> 00:52:02.239
And here's what that actually made. Yeah, It's like if90400:52:02.280 --> 00:52:04.719
you were to listen to music that spoke to you the.90500:52:04.639 --> 00:52:09.519
Way that the cleanest, healthiest version of your inner voice90600:52:09.519 --> 00:52:12.199
would speak to you, that's what you're going to be hearing.90700:52:12.199 --> 00:52:14.440
And then I also went through the process of learning90800:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.519
how to produce my music in such a way that90900:52:16.599 --> 00:52:20.679
it uses the patterns of sound and nature to downregulate91000:52:20.679 --> 00:52:22.960
the nervous system so that you're in a receptive state.91100:52:24.679 --> 00:52:27.800
