00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.759
What if that quiet voice you keep ignoring isn't random
2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:06.839
at all? What if it's guidance trying to keep you
3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:11.160
on the right path. Tonight we're exploring intuition, inner judges,
4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.199
and how learning to trust them could change everything.
5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.760
Welcome, Well, go, Well do Para Truth Truth.
6
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.520
How's it going, Paratruthers. Welcome to another episode of Paratruth Reborn.
7
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.640
My name is Justin and today I'm talking to Ebony
8
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.159
Banks about her book Your Intuitive Nudge. Ebanie is a
9
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:06.640
mystic survivor, writer, author, an embodied teacher who has connected
10
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:12.000
with her intuition since childhood. The traditions of mysticism, healing,
11
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.560
and wellness are part of Ebne's lineage on both sides
12
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.239
of her family as early as the nineteen forties. Her
13
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.680
maternal great grandmother read PLMS and her late father was
14
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:29.280
a social worker who practiced hypnotherapy. This rich family lineage
15
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.640
in mysticism creates a connection that Ebany carries forward in
16
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.120
multiple ways. She is also a Reiki Level eleven practitioner,
17
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:46.599
certifive bak Ti yoga teacher, and Yoga Ndra instructor. Abney.
18
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.280
Welcome to Paratruth Reborn.
19
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.760
Hi. Thank you for having me hearing that. Inte, I
20
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.959
need to change the word survivor because people are high survived.
21
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.519
What we're all survived and unless you know, my whole
22
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.959
story is really is the relevant And I don't even
23
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.159
resonate without word anymore. I feel like I'm more the
24
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.439
warrior at this point, all the healing I've had to do,
25
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.039
So thanks for reading that.
26
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.639
I mean, there's always kind of a negative connotation when
27
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.439
you hear survivor because it means you survived something, and
28
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.599
it's usually something really bad. So yeah, it is, you.
29
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.080
Know, it is traumatic. It's been most of a lot
30
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.319
of my life, you know. But we don't have to
31
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.400
talk about all that unless you want to left out
32
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.479
the part that I'm also clear tangent, which I guess
33
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.080
you're reading that from my website and it doesn't say
34
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.599
that in that description because on my website you can
35
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.560
book a reading with me and there's all this other stuff.
36
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.919
But I'm also clear tangent.
37
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.960
Okay, So for those that don't know, what does clear
38
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.639
tangent mean?
39
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.879
So clear tangent is one of the seven intuitive care
40
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.120
senses that we know of right now. Future humans will
41
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.599
probably have many more. But I know, they're typically seving
42
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.840
and it means clear touch. So the word means clear
43
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.639
and in the ending of the word tells you what
44
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.560
it's associated with. And tangent connects to touch, and it's
45
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.360
in the same family as clairvoyance, which means clear vision.
46
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.680
Okay, well, then I'm pretty familiar with a lot of
47
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.680
the clayarers. Clear tangient is one of my abilities. I
48
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.560
can touch a lot of things and pick up on
49
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.919
energy off of them. I am also clear sentient, clear audience,
50
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:30.599
so it builds quickly though it does well.
51
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.039
You know, the way I process the class, I think
52
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.960
everyone is clear something, yeah, whether they know it or not.
53
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.159
And I think most people are more than one because
54
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.240
that of the seven intuitive clear senses, five of them
55
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.639
directly correlate with our five primary senses of touch, tastes, here, small,
56
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.759
and see, And I kind of think about our primary
57
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.919
senses as like the gateway to get to your intuitive
58
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.199
clear senses, you know, just bringing more awareness to how
59
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.240
you're experiencing those things and what is happening in your
60
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.000
nervous system and your body and your in your spirit
61
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.599
when you are an saying those things. So everyone's got.
62
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.879
It for sure. I've not that a long time. You know.
63
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.759
People want to say that they're they're not this or that,
64
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.759
but I believe everybody is. They just haven't honed in
65
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:13.199
on them.
66
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.680
Yeah, or they don't believe in it, or yeah. It's
67
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:21.519
so many reasons why people don't. But you're humans are
68
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.279
co and it's going to be like a natural way
69
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:23.959
of life, you.
70
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.720
Know, right. So what made you want to write your
71
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.199
intuitive nudge?
72
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.759
Oh goodness, Well, my agent asked me to because initially
73
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.600
I wrote a memoir, and the memoir my family. As
74
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.639
you were reading in the intro, you know, kind of
75
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.720
interesting folks, my great grandmother reading poems in the Jim
76
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.720
Crow South, you know too, white people who were lined
77
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.240
up at her door, piled up in her living room,
78
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.920
you know, waiting in their cars to see her. Very
79
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.040
unusual life for a black woman in the South during
80
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.120
the Jim Crow South, you know. So, But the memoir
81
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.959
is not so much. It's really about my healing journey.
82
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.959
So I had written this memoir and I received I
83
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.120
got an agent for it because she just really liked me,
84
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.399
and she liked how I talk about dark and light.
85
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.480
Because the memoir is called copy this Guy, and it's
86
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:17.920
all about harmonizing dark and light. But she represented self
87
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.199
help books and at the time I didn't know anything
88
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.959
about publishing, so I thought, oh, okay, you know any agent, right,
89
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.000
I'm grateful that somebody sees enough value to be my agent,
90
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.759
you know. But she wasn't able to pitch the you know,
91
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.279
to successfully pitch the memoir because her focus and her
92
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.639
experiences with self help book. So she said, why don't
93
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.000
you write a self help book and I can get that.
94
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:45.839
Let's do a self help book. So I only wrote
95
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.480
it because she asked me to. I really had no
96
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.879
intention of writing it, but it wrote itself so easily,
97
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.600
and it was so much fun to write and to
98
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.879
get all of that out of me because I basically
99
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.639
just wrote how I really healed from my trauma, because
100
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.439
I credit my intuition with my ability to heal myself,
101
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.600
and I really just wrote how that happened for me,
102
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.279
how I experienced that in like a really practical way
103
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.720
with steps and exercises and things, so people can practice
104
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.759
their own intuition on their own time and their own life,
105
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:15.000
you know.
106
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.839
Okay, Now, what is an intuitive nudge and how did
107
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:21.959
you come to recognize your own?
108
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.600
Oh goodness, such a long story. So I've been intuitive
109
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.800
since I said childs, you know, and I knew this
110
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.720
about myself as a child, Like I knew that I
111
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.360
what that looked like for me as a child. And
112
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.920
my memory is not you know, super experiensive around my
113
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.040
childhood experiences, but it looks like me knowing things that
114
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.319
people didn't tell me. I just thought I was bad
115
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.680
because of it. I didn't know how I knew, and
116
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.800
I grew up in a Christian church, so I was
117
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.639
just like really confused. I was getting some messages about
118
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.279
the non physical world from church and learning about God
119
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.839
and you know, angels and things associated, but no one
120
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.040
was talking about what I was experiencing with my intuition.
121
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.839
How did I recognize my intuitive nuge? I mean when
122
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.759
I was little, and I mean like six or seven,
123
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:14.720
I I knew it was something that was like supportive
124
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.439
of me, but I didn't have the language or know
125
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.800
that it was called intuition, and I kind of treated
126
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.439
it like, you know, yeah, okay, go away, Like I
127
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.879
didn't want to receive the information because I didn't know
128
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.519
what to do with it and I didn't understand it.
129
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.720
And like during my teenage years, I kind of thought
130
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.800
it went away. That's literally how I thought about it.
131
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.920
I thought it left me because I wasn't having the
132
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.120
same kinds of experiences that I was having as a child.
133
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.639
And then and I was an interesting child. So also
134
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.959
around the age like six or seven, I would sit
135
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.360
in my room and I would wonder where I would
136
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.319
be if I wasn't on Earth and I didn't have
137
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:56.360
a body. I would literally like try to figure it out,
138
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.199
you know. And what always came up for me was
139
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.319
that I was old. I imagine as a child, I
140
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.519
would just be like this very dark space. I knew
141
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.160
I would exist still. I knew I would still exist,
142
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.439
but of course not without a body, and it was
143
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.920
just like this dark space of like nothing where everything
144
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.319
and nothing it coexisted. I think I was tapping into
145
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.000
the void, but of course I didn't know, right. So
146
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.800
then fast forward teenage years. I thought that it left me,
147
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.600
is how I thought about it. And then when I
148
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.839
was in my twenties, I met like minded people who
149
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.000
introduced me to crystals and astrology and all these things,
150
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.200
and they understood so many things about how I naturally
151
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.879
process life, like things like knowing that I chose my parents,
152
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.120
you know, having that understanding of having an understanding of reincarnation.
153
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.440
Just all these things that I just always knew and
154
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.399
knew were true, but I didn't really talk about them
155
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.039
because I didn't have anyone to talk about them with.
156
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.559
So I guess my nudge started showing up, I mean
157
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.480
really as a child, you know, and it was more, Yeah,
158
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.600
I would say as a child. You know, there's a couple,
159
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.600
there's one or two experiences that I remember distinctly having
160
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.440
as a child. So I have to say it started
161
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.440
when I was around that six or seven age. And
162
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.320
then when I was in my twenties and I was
163
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.960
learning about these things and tuning into crystals and all
164
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.440
this stuff, it was starting to kick in again very strongly.
165
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.600
Okay, Now, I mean everybody has intuition. A lot of
166
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.879
people call out like a gut instinct, you know, whatever
167
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.799
you want to call it. Why do so many people
168
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.120
distrust their intuition though, even when it's you know, accurate,
169
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.600
and it's such a strong feeling.
170
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:40.039
I mean, the reason I think people don't trust themself
171
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.960
their intuitions because they don't trust themselves, you know. And
172
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.440
we have a lifetime of examples where we didn't trust
173
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.600
ourselves that we blame ourselves for. We're hard on ourselves
174
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.120
to beat ourselves up, you know, all the what it
175
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.320
could have should have moments in our lives. And so
176
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:01.840
I think for whatever reason, we're just really hard on ourselves.
177
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.279
We paid more attention to all of those things and
178
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.440
instead of try to kind of create new neurons in
179
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.919
our brain that tell us that we do trust ourselves,
180
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.559
you know, because there are a million ways that we
181
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.799
also demonstrate that we do trust ourselves, probably more ways
182
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.399
that demonstrate that than the ways that demonstrate that we don't.
183
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:23.960
But for whatever reason, like we hang on to those
184
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.240
other those those other reasons, you know. And I think
185
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.080
for some people too, it's really connects to shadow work,
186
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.000
and a lot of it is subconscious because people don't
187
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:37.399
even know why they behave in a in a way
188
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.000
that is hurtful or to themselves or to other people,
189
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.679
you know, like they haven't done that deep inquiry to
190
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.240
get to oh, I'm still responding to this thing that
191
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.840
happened to me when I was eight, you know. And and
192
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.480
it's a lot of work. Healing is work, healing is work.
193
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.519
So I think a lot of people don't want to
194
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.759
do that work to get there, you know, And I
195
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.200
don't even think you have to do all that work,
196
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.120
but I think you do have to. You do have
197
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.559
to have a conscious awareness that you know, you are
198
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.879
divine being first and foremost, and that part of you
199
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.279
is the greater part of you, because once all this
200
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.279
beautiful body that we have dies, that part of us continues,
201
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.679
you know. So it's kind of like a shift in
202
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.519
you know, logical thinking to around who you are and
203
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.039
how you see yourselves. You know.
204
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.279
You know, I'm so glad that you said that, because
205
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:38.080
something that I had fought for years is going to counseling.
206
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:40.840
And the reason that was is I had such a
207
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.080
I wouldn't say bad experience, but every councilor I had
208
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.759
went to never really felt like they were out for
209
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:53.639
my better good or even giving me the tools to
210
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.919
do what I needed to do. So when you know,
211
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.000
my wife told me maybe should get counseling, and she
212
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:07.360
had started herself to connect with my counselor that I
213
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.600
have now and have somebody who actually gets what I'm
214
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.720
saying and not only lets me vent, but also ask
215
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.720
how do I do this? How do I fix this?
216
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.240
And something that I really do want to start doing
217
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:29.480
as shadow work. We had had a guest on last
218
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.600
year and she did a really good book where it's
219
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.399
part telling you what to do and then it gives
220
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:40.080
you journaling and all that stuff to do. So I
221
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.720
really think that a lot of people, especially with what's
222
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.279
going on in the world right now, really need to
223
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.639
embrace that and understand that there is healing in all
224
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:51.960
of that.
225
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.679
There is there is, you know. I feel like what's
226
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.960
going on right now, like in the US we're doing
227
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:02.399
as shadow work, it's all it's all showing up, you know,
228
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.360
all the things that all the previous years and leaders
229
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.080
you know, didn't really address. Like this leader is putting
230
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.519
it all in our face, you know, and she grateful
231
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.360
for it, because we can't progress unless we get to
232
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.120
these things. You know, there's no there's no way forward
233
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.679
unless you actually get to your truth. And getting to
234
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.399
your truth can be hard if it's your personal truth
235
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.200
or like our collective truth as Americans. You know.
236
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.600
Yeah, Well, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for
237
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.240
a reason. You know. You learn that as you grow
238
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.279
up in the church, and you know, even though I'm
239
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.919
not a religious person anymore, I'm still very spiritual and
