00:00:00.064 --> 00:00:04.368
Hello everybody and welcome to the Ask the Answer podcast.
00:00:04.788 --> 00:00:10.012
I'm Charlotte, I'm your host and I'm here with a very, very special young lady actually.
00:00:10.313 --> 00:00:14.115
We've worked together a lot in the past on Sky Television.
00:00:14.657 --> 00:00:18.839
She's an incredibly talented psychic and she's here joining us.
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:20.442
So let's welcome Louisa Marie.
00:00:22.524 --> 00:00:24.024
Hello Louisa Marie, how are you?
00:00:25.038 --> 00:00:25.960
Hello, Charlotte.
00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:26.400
Hi.
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:27.742
So lovely to see you again.
00:00:28.164 --> 00:00:29.707
So nice to see you again.
00:00:30.108 --> 00:00:31.751
I feel like I'm ten years younger.
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.281
Do you?
00:00:33.301 --> 00:00:35.643
Well, you haven't tried it before.
00:00:36.302 --> 00:00:37.584
You look exactly the same.
00:00:37.723 --> 00:00:38.344
Oh, bless you.
00:00:38.384 --> 00:00:39.545
Likewise, so do you.
00:00:39.585 --> 00:00:45.829
But we were saying, weren't we, that it's probably, probably it's about ten years since we've actually worked in a studio together.
00:00:46.450 --> 00:00:49.572
Yeah, it's so, I don't know where that ten years has gone, honestly, Charlotte.
00:00:49.591 --> 00:00:51.051
It's absolutely flown by.
00:00:51.072 --> 00:00:53.613
Do you know, it actually freaks me out.
00:00:53.654 --> 00:00:55.795
Because you've got two lovely boys, haven't you?
00:00:55.814 --> 00:00:56.496
I have.
00:00:57.219 --> 00:00:58.920
Yes, I remember.
00:00:59.201 --> 00:01:08.685
And I think when you have children, I don't know, it seems since I've had children that my life is just going so fast because you almost see them growing up as well as yourself.
00:01:08.745 --> 00:01:12.445
And I don't know, I don't I don't like it, actually, if I'm honest, time goes too quick.
00:01:12.826 --> 00:01:13.727
It's very strange.
00:01:13.787 --> 00:01:15.507
Both my boys have flown the nest.
00:01:15.828 --> 00:01:17.868
Oh, how old are they?
00:01:18.468 --> 00:01:20.629
One's twenty nine, one's twenty eight.
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:24.311
I know, it's just absolutely gone so quickly.
00:01:24.552 --> 00:01:26.834
And I'm now living in Glastonbury.
00:01:27.254 --> 00:01:31.617
I think when I came on the show with you before, I was in Hertfordshire then.
00:01:32.037 --> 00:01:33.597
I think you were, yes.
00:01:33.617 --> 00:01:35.239
I lived in Germany for a little while.
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.042
I was living there and then that was when COVID happened and everything went on.
00:01:39.061 --> 00:01:42.203
What was that like being in another country?
00:01:42.243 --> 00:01:43.844
What was Germany like when that was happening?
00:01:43.864 --> 00:01:44.605
Oh, very strict.
00:01:44.625 --> 00:01:48.968
They closed down a lot quicker before us and I had to leave.
00:01:49.617 --> 00:01:50.537
and come back.
00:01:50.737 --> 00:01:57.801
So I sold my house in Hertford and moved to Glastonbury and I love it here.
00:01:58.180 --> 00:02:00.621
It's fantastic.
00:02:00.641 --> 00:02:00.742
Yeah.
00:02:00.762 --> 00:02:03.183
A lot of you spiritualists end up, isn't it?
00:02:03.203 --> 00:02:04.183
Let's face it, or start.
00:02:04.582 --> 00:02:08.383
Well, it's very creative and it's because the energy is conducive to it.
00:02:08.424 --> 00:02:15.747
So you get a lot of psychics, mediums, artists, you know, musicians here, which is wonderful.
00:02:15.787 --> 00:02:16.046
Yeah.
00:02:16.562 --> 00:02:19.403
And it must be so nice to be around like-minded people as well.
00:02:19.824 --> 00:02:20.223
It is.
00:02:20.304 --> 00:02:21.204
I feel like I'm home.
00:02:21.463 --> 00:02:24.224
I feel like I'm meant to be now.
00:02:25.245 --> 00:02:26.665
So I'm hanging around in my house.
00:02:26.705 --> 00:02:27.605
My boys have left.
00:02:27.626 --> 00:02:30.146
Oh, my goodness me.
00:02:30.667 --> 00:02:31.387
Quite nice.
00:02:31.766 --> 00:02:33.168
They come back every so often.
00:02:33.207 --> 00:02:34.987
They fly back and come into the nest.
00:02:35.687 --> 00:02:36.268
Good.
00:02:36.367 --> 00:02:36.748
Yeah.
00:02:36.769 --> 00:02:37.209
I bet they do.
00:02:38.718 --> 00:02:40.219
Boys always need their mamas.
00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:43.622
They do, they do.
00:02:44.462 --> 00:02:52.229
Now, Louise Marie, I have the pleasure of, or I've had the pleasure of working with you, like I said, a fair few times, and I've interviewed you many times.
00:02:52.269 --> 00:02:56.231
So I know I love your work, and I genuinely mean that.
00:02:56.331 --> 00:03:03.016
I always found you quite fascinating to interview, and the way that you think, I really respect, and I know that you live your life by it as well.
00:03:03.477 --> 00:03:04.277
But can you just...
00:03:05.241 --> 00:03:08.385
Kind of introduce yourself, I suppose, to our viewers.
00:03:08.406 --> 00:03:10.228
You know, where did your gift come from?
00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:11.651
Who are you?
00:03:11.871 --> 00:03:15.717
Where do you kind of like specialise when it comes to the psychic world?
00:03:16.324 --> 00:03:26.769
Okay, yeah, the first time I ever knew that I could do anything like this, actually, was on platform, doing a demonstration of mediumship, lighted up by the medium.
00:03:26.829 --> 00:03:35.353
I was just supposed to be attending a workshop, and she pulled me up onto the platform, and she said, I just want to show you what you can do, and I gave a psychic...
00:03:36.337 --> 00:03:58.727
message to somebody in the audience got them to stand up and it was all right she understood it and then I brought through somebody in mediumship who's you know given a communication yeah yeah and that was all right and I spoke to the medium and she said to me afterwards you know I just wanted to show you this was in my early twenties she said to me I just wanted to show you how you would use your gift in your forties.
00:03:58.887 --> 00:04:05.128
And it was absolutely true because that's when I started to do a lot more with mediumship, with the platform and things like that, serving the churches.
00:04:06.348 --> 00:04:07.949
So that's how my gift began.
00:04:07.968 --> 00:04:09.449
I was then I went into healing.
00:04:09.810 --> 00:04:12.631
I was a famous psychic surgeon.
00:04:13.371 --> 00:04:16.132
And now I'm in Glastonbury.
00:04:16.151 --> 00:04:19.372
What my passion is really is I love it all.
00:04:19.533 --> 00:04:20.372
You know, I do love it.
00:04:20.937 --> 00:04:21.937
All my work.
00:04:22.958 --> 00:04:25.800
But what I've done, I've created a school.
00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:28.482
And now I do mainly teaching, Charlotte.
00:04:28.521 --> 00:04:32.024
So I help mediums to discover their gift.
00:04:32.824 --> 00:04:34.045
Amazing.
00:04:34.766 --> 00:04:36.987
Up now at my age, yes.
00:04:37.108 --> 00:04:41.851
I've learned through my thirty years of experience, really.
00:04:41.872 --> 00:04:43.572
That's incredible.
00:04:45.113 --> 00:04:47.735
You did used to teach, though, didn't you, as well, Louisa Marie?
00:04:47.755 --> 00:04:48.737
You've always done a bit of that.
00:04:49.197 --> 00:04:50.637
I've been teaching for a long time.
00:04:52.425 --> 00:04:57.209
I've just very naturally gravitated to doing more with the teaching aspects.
00:04:57.769 --> 00:05:02.833
And I take mentorships and then I help people right from the beginning all the way through.
00:05:03.314 --> 00:05:05.754
And I train platform mediums as well to do.
00:05:07.096 --> 00:05:12.800
And then I train people to do divine services and private sittings or readings.
00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:16.723
So it's a whole plethora of different things, depending on what's needed.
00:05:16.783 --> 00:05:17.223
Yeah.
00:05:18.562 --> 00:05:19.622
That sounds so lovely.
00:05:19.682 --> 00:05:21.502
And it is one of those things that you said about Glastonbury.
00:05:21.523 --> 00:05:24.665
It's obviously a very well-known spiritual place in England.
00:05:26.084 --> 00:05:27.966
Is it busy with what you do?
00:05:28.065 --> 00:05:32.088
Do you find that the majority of your local people are up for that?
00:05:32.148 --> 00:05:33.769
And do you attend your workshops and things?
00:05:34.305 --> 00:05:39.466
Well, I tend to do most of my workshops and everything's on Zoom now so I can reach people.
00:05:39.906 --> 00:05:43.148
So I have students in America, Japan, China, all over Australia.
00:05:44.468 --> 00:05:49.410
But I do also hold it in person because I think it's really important to have that in-person aspect.
00:05:49.430 --> 00:05:49.569
I do.
00:05:50.644 --> 00:05:54.466
And I started two years ago, Charlotte, in Glastonbury.
00:05:54.966 --> 00:06:03.230
What I realised when I came here to live was there was nothing representing what I represent, not in a religious way, but in a spiritualism.
00:06:03.891 --> 00:06:06.372
And that's what I work with.
00:06:07.733 --> 00:06:13.817
So I opened something called the centre here, called the Spiritually Centre of Avalon.
00:06:14.658 --> 00:06:18.160
And it's a centre where we meet once a month.
00:06:19.228 --> 00:06:22.091
And it's all done for, it's not done for money.
00:06:22.132 --> 00:06:23.514
Everything's done intentionally.
00:06:23.634 --> 00:06:29.680
And anything that we make goes back into the community to help with homelessness, with food, things like that.
00:06:31.343 --> 00:06:32.906
That's been really well received.
00:06:32.946 --> 00:06:35.108
And it's been, I've really enjoyed doing that.
00:06:35.127 --> 00:06:37.031
It's a way we service.
00:06:37.507 --> 00:06:41.247
once a month, so that's the church service.
00:06:41.588 --> 00:06:45.050
But I do it from a mainly non-religious aspect, if you know what I mean.
00:06:45.069 --> 00:06:47.850
Yes, yes, absolutely, absolutely.
00:06:49.071 --> 00:06:58.973
Well, with all of that in mind, you have got a brilliant topic that I am intrigued about getting my teeth into, so I can't wait to hear you get your teeth into it.
00:06:59.014 --> 00:07:03.295
So introduce it to our viewers, please, and then can we tear it apart?
00:07:03.875 --> 00:07:04.915
Yes, absolutely.
00:07:04.975 --> 00:07:09.882
So my topic is the difference between imagination and intuition.
00:07:10.502 --> 00:07:23.413
And the reason I wanted to bring that on is because when I first begin with students, right at the beginning of their development, one of the biggest questions that they ask me is, how can I tell the difference between my imagination and my intuition?
00:07:24.694 --> 00:07:26.814
It's very subtle, the difference.
00:07:26.855 --> 00:07:27.735
It's very gentle.
00:07:28.497 --> 00:07:36.963
The way I can describe it, Charlotte, is that the imagination comes from the mind and the intuition comes from our sixth sense.
00:07:38.706 --> 00:07:45.870
which all have, everybody has that gut feeling, that knowing, you know, you just know something's right or you know when it's not.
00:07:46.771 --> 00:07:58.297
So it was, and it really, really hit me just recently as well about the difference between this and how it's used in so many different aspects of business, of life.
00:07:59.298 --> 00:08:00.918
And it's something that everybody has.
00:08:01.499 --> 00:08:05.040
So you don't, it's not reserved for the specialist psychic or the medium.
00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:06.341
We all have it.
00:08:06.362 --> 00:08:07.122
Yeah.
00:08:07.495 --> 00:08:22.307
been taught to tune into it or to even recognize it that's the big question and and how do we tune into it and recognize it and i was in meditation today to take the viewers through they can experience that themselves.
00:08:22.468 --> 00:08:26.848
So they know very clearly when it's imagination and when it's intuition.
00:08:26.949 --> 00:08:30.149
I'm very excited about that, especially as you're doing this guided meditation.
00:08:30.170 --> 00:08:32.870
So it's coming in two parts, isn't it?
00:08:32.990 --> 00:08:34.210
It is, absolutely.
00:08:34.509 --> 00:08:39.250
The first part I'm going to take the viewers through is where we tune into the imagination.
00:08:39.291 --> 00:08:48.812
So I'm going to be taking them on a little meditation, not a long one, just so that you can feel what it's like to be in the mind of imagination.
00:08:49.613 --> 00:08:57.056
And then the second part, we're going to think of a problem or something we need guidance on, help in our lives.
00:08:57.456 --> 00:09:01.957
And I'm going to show you how to tune into that so you can get the answer for yourself.
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:03.198
I love it.
00:09:03.538 --> 00:09:07.941
Now, do our viewers and listeners need to do anything to prepare for that?
00:09:08.426 --> 00:09:12.532
And just off the back of that, when would you like to do that during this podcast?
00:09:12.611 --> 00:09:16.376
Sooner rather than later or kind of like at the end when we've talked about things?
00:09:17.618 --> 00:09:21.043
I think there's nothing they need to do.
00:09:21.062 --> 00:09:23.265
Make sure their phones are off or on silent.
00:09:23.912 --> 00:09:27.274
And that you'll be disturbed just for a few minutes because it's not a long, long one.
00:09:27.313 --> 00:09:28.754
It's just they're fairly quick.
00:09:28.774 --> 00:09:29.695
They're fairly short.
00:09:30.875 --> 00:09:33.836
And I think it's probably nice to talk a little bit about it first.
00:09:34.136 --> 00:09:34.376
Yes.
00:09:34.397 --> 00:09:41.059
So the viewers can understand it a bit more deeply and then take them into the meditation.
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.581
That's perfect.
00:09:44.621 --> 00:09:45.883
Thank you very much, my love.
00:09:46.243 --> 00:09:46.743
Thank you.
00:09:47.964 --> 00:09:48.504
Earlier on.
00:09:49.330 --> 00:09:56.456
When I heard about your topic, I said that I've done a little VT for the for the website and the app and on our social media.
00:09:57.277 --> 00:10:05.923
And a couple of things that we because I was discussing a little bit about intuition and anxiety, actually, rather than you say imagination.
00:10:05.964 --> 00:10:16.611
We were talking specifically about anxiety and interesting because in it we say that intuition comes from trust and anxiety comes from fear.
00:10:17.870 --> 00:10:19.533
What's your take on that, please?
00:10:19.773 --> 00:10:21.793
I think that's absolutely perfect.
00:10:22.315 --> 00:10:31.182
That's spot on because anxiety, when we go into anxiety, Charlotte, what happens is everything begins with the mind.
00:10:31.623 --> 00:10:34.645
And when we go into anxiety, what we're doing is we're not in the present moment.
00:10:35.326 --> 00:11:03.482
we are our mind is usually in the future worrying about things that haven't even happened and probably never will happen um and we we conjure up all these imaginations in our mind about things that may happen and what that does every time every thought that we have creates an emotion within us yes our mind is in the future worrying about something Which is not very, you know, we all do it.
00:11:03.863 --> 00:11:09.408
It's very hard not to do it sometimes when we've got worries and difficulties in our lives.
00:11:09.469 --> 00:11:12.030
We do often start worrying and going into the future.
00:11:12.491 --> 00:11:16.696
And that's what builds anxiety because it takes away our power, you see.
00:11:17.284 --> 00:11:20.827
So I think your description of it was very accurate, actually.
00:11:20.888 --> 00:11:21.388
Very good.
00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:22.769
Oh, thank you.
00:11:22.849 --> 00:11:23.190
Thank you.
00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:28.533
I'd love to take the credit, but we were discussing it and it just came up.
00:11:31.056 --> 00:11:34.458
Now, meditation off the back of what you were saying.
00:11:34.479 --> 00:11:35.740
See, this is right.
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.541
You know me, Louisa Marie.
00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:39.302
I am quite a spiritual person.
00:11:39.381 --> 00:11:40.383
I love all of this.
00:11:40.482 --> 00:11:41.783
I believe in it all.
00:11:42.965 --> 00:11:43.546
One thing.
00:11:44.707 --> 00:11:48.216
I've worked with you guys for many, many years, probably about up to twenty.
00:11:49.177 --> 00:11:52.525
I have tried to meditate so many times.
00:11:53.993 --> 00:12:26.054
every tip going and i i don't think i ever get into that state because i question things i'm i just can't are you gonna tell me that i'm wrong in a way i wish that i hope that you do can everybody meditate is it something that we're all open to yes we're all able to do it charlotte absolutely and i think from going from what you've just said what i was picking up there was that you're probably, let me see if I get this right for you, but you're probably very analytical in your mind.
00:12:26.674 --> 00:12:33.860
You're probably very, you know, physically organised person as well, and you're a doer, you like to be doing.
00:12:34.402 --> 00:12:34.922
Is that right?
00:12:35.381 --> 00:12:35.962
Yes.
00:12:36.722 --> 00:12:46.150
So when we're like that, you see, what's very hard is all of a sudden we're in our day-to-day world, doing our washing, our cleaning, our ironing, our cooking, everything.
00:12:46.767 --> 00:12:49.371
And then all of a sudden we sit down and we go, right, now I'm going to steal the mind.
00:12:50.013 --> 00:12:51.075
It doesn't work like that.
00:12:54.621 --> 00:12:58.590
The reason it doesn't work like that is because it's the nature of the mind to think.
00:13:00.990 --> 00:13:01.191
Okay.
00:13:01.211 --> 00:13:01.610
Yes.
00:13:01.630 --> 00:13:09.174
So if it's the nature of the mind to think and all of a sudden we're going, right, I'm just going to sit here and now I'm going to switch off the thinking, it doesn't happen at all.
00:13:09.674 --> 00:13:11.095
So I would relax with that.
00:13:11.235 --> 00:13:28.124
And the way I help students with that is I say, imagine your thoughts, where we sit quietly, are on a conveyor belt and they're going through the mind and you just let them go, visualise them through the mind and letting it go, not following that thought.
00:13:28.937 --> 00:13:31.620
So this is a practice that you can do to start calming.
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:46.350
Another practice I bring in is before you sit down and you're in your busy day, before you sit down to try and meditate, actually chant, do some chanting with some mala beads or something like that, some affirmations or some breath work.
00:13:48.336 --> 00:14:15.686
rather than just going straight into trying to quieten the mind so yeah breath is really good as well actually just thinking about like when I was younger I used to have a few panic attacks so when you think about actually how powerful breath work is actually I've never thought about that Louise because I can do that and I know physically mentally emotionally you know that that works that's genius bringing it in with the meditation Yeah, it's something I do.
00:14:16.145 --> 00:14:19.408
Before I'm going to meditate, I will sit down in front of my altar.
00:14:20.048 --> 00:14:21.169
I will chant.
00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:24.511
I've got mala beads, which if anyone knows what they are, you can count.
00:14:24.532 --> 00:14:25.273
It's a hundred and eight.
00:14:25.293 --> 00:14:26.113
It's a magic number.
00:14:26.714 --> 00:14:27.153
Oh, is it?
00:14:27.214 --> 00:14:27.594
Hang on.
00:14:27.653 --> 00:14:28.195
Stop there.
00:14:28.595 --> 00:14:29.716
I don't know about these.
00:14:29.755 --> 00:14:32.057
Because obviously I know about crystals and everything.
00:14:32.116 --> 00:14:32.778
Tell me.
00:14:33.317 --> 00:14:38.922
I haven't got any handy to show you, but mala beads are a little, they're sort of magical beads.
00:14:39.447 --> 00:14:42.967
You can have them in all different types of crystal or just plain ones.
00:14:43.327 --> 00:14:47.470
And there's a hundred and eight on them and they're used in meditation to count.
00:14:47.850 --> 00:14:56.011
So you might, you hold the thumb and the third finger and you hold one bead and one bead is one chant.
00:14:56.032 --> 00:15:03.455
So you might chant, if you're chanting om, for example, om, and then you go to another bead, om, another bead, om.
00:15:04.095 --> 00:15:04.315
Okay.
00:15:05.288 --> 00:15:08.129
And then at the hundred and eight, that's the magical number.
00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:11.831
And you're sending out this beautiful vibration into the universe.
00:15:13.033 --> 00:15:19.275
And what that does is it also starts to calm the mind down.
00:15:19.615 --> 00:15:21.317
And it prepares us for meditation.
00:15:21.996 --> 00:15:23.177
That's genius.
00:15:23.317 --> 00:15:24.999
I've never, ever heard of them.
00:15:25.278 --> 00:15:27.480
And I've never heard of the magic number one hundred and eight.
00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:30.240
Louise and Marie, every day is a school day with you, my love.
00:15:30.260 --> 00:15:30.501
Carry on.
00:15:30.802 --> 00:15:33.263
Carry on.
00:15:35.052 --> 00:16:30.827
okay great so so yes you can do your your breath work your chanting and then when you sit down to meditate yeah i do just a little tip is i focus my attention at the point between the eyebrows so your third eye yeah and just see like a beautiful white candle there with the flames holding that breathing nice and deep breathing then let the breathing come back to normal and just hold your focus on the flame and gently only sit for five to ten minutes don't try and do any more and this is what i'm giving for you so that you can your mind and bring yourself into more the benefits are huge charlotte yeah so much in your day um i always tell my students please Do five, ten minutes meditation before you jump into your day ahead because it prepares your whole energy for the day you're going into.
00:16:30.847 --> 00:16:38.390
It's funny you say that because I thought that this morning because I've got three very young children and it is absolutely mental in the mornings.
00:16:38.410 --> 00:16:43.753
And this morning when I was doing their lunch boxes, I actually thought to myself, Charlotte, you just need to get up.
00:16:44.033 --> 00:16:46.594
Because obviously I get up at like six, half six anyway.
00:16:46.874 --> 00:17:22.071
But I said, if I just got up, an extra fifteen minutes earlier than once I've had my shower and everything just to have a bit of me time but to actually do what you've just said and almost have that in you know that planned I think that's such a good idea actually yeah build it into your daily routine like brushing your teeth and another little tip as well is before bed preparing yourself for the sleep state so I turn my phone off before about an hour before I'm going to go to sleep and I'm like social medias or anything like that, like candles.
00:17:22.173 --> 00:17:24.054
And I do a bit of meditation, a bit of chanting.
00:17:24.074 --> 00:17:31.661
And what that does is it detaches us from all the stuff we've been doing all day and prepares our mind and body to go into that sleep state.
00:17:31.681 --> 00:17:36.060
So you can, potentially get a night's sleep as well.
00:17:36.101 --> 00:17:41.746
That sounds brilliant because obviously then you're going to wake up the next day more prepared, feeling more up for everything.
00:17:42.227 --> 00:17:43.307
What is your take?
00:17:43.327 --> 00:17:46.810
I mean, you said there that you turn your mobile phone off an hour before bed.
00:17:46.871 --> 00:17:49.933
That's another thing that I so need to do.
00:17:50.974 --> 00:17:58.561
I am quite conscious of being on my phone and I'd like to think I'm not, you know, don't scroll very often because I don't want my children to see me doing it and all of that kind of thing.
00:17:59.208 --> 00:18:08.810
But it is something that I think takes up so much of our brain and takes us away from things like meditation, gut instincts, all things like that.
00:18:09.211 --> 00:18:14.152
What's your take on how much time we all spend on our mobile phones?
00:18:14.913 --> 00:18:17.113
Yeah, it's a lot, isn't it?
00:18:17.272 --> 00:18:18.913
And I feel guilty of it as well.
00:18:18.953 --> 00:18:22.515
Sometimes I go on the social media and you get roped into it, don't you?
00:18:22.535 --> 00:18:23.694
You get pulled in, drawn in.
00:18:25.076 --> 00:18:33.166
But I think that we could, start to, it is part of our lives, Charlotte says, not going to go on it at all.
00:18:33.547 --> 00:18:46.198
I don't think you need to do that, but just limit the amount of time and bring in these little practices that we've been discussing so that you can have a little bit of time away from it, a little bit of you time connecting with yourself.
00:18:46.397 --> 00:18:47.659
So important, isn't it?
00:18:47.679 --> 00:18:50.040
Especially for our children, it keeps them to do that.
00:18:50.580 --> 00:18:51.261
Absolutely.
00:18:51.402 --> 00:18:51.781
Absolutely.
00:18:51.801 --> 00:18:52.623
I couldn't agree with you more.
00:18:52.643 --> 00:19:04.921
It was on the news actually yesterday that apparently it's come out that by, I don't know how they worked it out actually, but we will have all been on our phones for nearly five years in total.
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.821
Our lives, I mean, something like four hours a day.
00:19:10.642 --> 00:19:11.981
I know, it's horrendous, isn't it?
00:19:12.001 --> 00:19:19.983
And then I read something the other week, I can't remember where I read it, about how this could change the human anatomy as well.
00:19:20.503 --> 00:19:22.384
And people get a phone neck.
00:19:22.963 --> 00:19:25.204
And it's constantly...
00:19:25.778 --> 00:19:28.420
You're not up your heads down and forward.
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:34.204
And what this does is it cuts off your life force energy going into the brain.
00:19:34.904 --> 00:19:39.709
So if you're going to be on your phone, try and have it on the stand or holding it upright.
00:19:39.729 --> 00:19:42.111
So your head isn't down and forward like that.
00:19:42.570 --> 00:19:44.833
It can go into the brain as well.
00:19:45.573 --> 00:19:50.596
So research that I read about and I thought, oh, that's that sounds really right, actually.
00:19:50.777 --> 00:19:52.858
Yeah, fine and everything.
00:19:53.482 --> 00:20:21.229
yeah yeah crazy honestly oh god I just there was also somebody that said and it's so simple but rather than taking your phone around with you in your house leave it literally like in the kitchen on the side and that will be the place to be and if you get a beep don't go to it you're so I don't know where our senses are so heightened by that need yeah yeah my son my oldest son He was, he's very, he's a bit of a gamer and, you know, he loves his phone.
00:20:21.669 --> 00:20:23.369
And he lost his phone.
00:20:23.769 --> 00:20:30.373
And for some reason or other, he didn't have a phone for three months, which was a little bit frustrating for me because it's getting old.
00:20:30.393 --> 00:20:32.973
But we talked on other platforms.
00:20:33.334 --> 00:20:38.256
Anyway, he came back to me and he said, mum, it's changed my life.
00:20:39.022 --> 00:20:42.203
He said, I am so awake to the world.
00:20:42.263 --> 00:20:44.344
I'm looking around me when I'm out in the street.
00:20:44.443 --> 00:20:46.005
I'm looking at nature.
00:20:46.085 --> 00:20:50.486
He says, I feel so much happier and more content with not having my phone.
00:20:50.806 --> 00:20:52.766
And he's not even bothered about getting it back.
00:20:53.205 --> 00:20:55.186
But he's not done anything with another phone.
00:20:55.207 --> 00:20:56.307
His dad's given him a phone.
00:20:56.626 --> 00:20:58.228
He doesn't want to be on it very often.
00:20:58.548 --> 00:20:59.807
So he's changed his whole life.
00:21:00.811 --> 00:21:32.968
idea about how he's living his life yeah that is incredible that is incredible but in a way makes you think it's sad that lots of other kids you know or people in their twenties they might not have that experience to know how freeing it is do you know what I mean because we don't get rid of our phones for three months whereas it's not a bad thing yeah no it's not a bad thing at all when I go anywhere on holiday and I can't get reception I go oh It's actually really nice.
00:21:33.107 --> 00:21:35.989
Yeah, nobody can get me.
00:21:37.749 --> 00:21:38.588
Absolutely.
00:21:39.710 --> 00:21:40.650
All right, my lovely.
00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:43.651
Well, shall we do the first meditation?
00:21:43.750 --> 00:21:44.371
Is that all right?
00:21:44.391 --> 00:21:45.911
And then we can... Absolutely, yeah.
00:21:45.931 --> 00:21:47.551
Are you going to go along with it, Charlotte?
00:21:48.511 --> 00:21:51.153
You know me, I'm going for anything for the reason.
00:21:52.593 --> 00:21:53.093
Fabulous.
00:21:53.232 --> 00:21:55.854
Okay, so if you'd like to close your eyes.
00:21:56.713 --> 00:22:33.858
and just starting to if you can just feel the earth beneath your feet and let's just together take a nice deep breath in through the nose visualizing the breath going deep down into the belly and then slowly releasing the breath through the mouth and relax so we do this once more nice deep breath in through the nose visualize the breath going deep down into the belly and slowly releasing through the mouth Really allowing the body to be relaxed now as we detach in the physical world and all the things we've been doing.
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.381
Let's leave all the things we've got to do at the front door just for now.
00:22:38.881 --> 00:22:40.761
Give us this time just to pause.
00:22:41.721 --> 00:22:43.923
And I invite you to join me on a journey.
00:22:45.323 --> 00:22:50.884
And if you'd like to imagine in your mind's eye that you're walking through a beautiful lavender field.
00:22:52.246 --> 00:22:56.126
You look down and you see the lavender each side of you.
00:22:56.557 --> 00:23:03.162
It's very high and you can run your fingers through it and you get the smell of the lavender.
00:23:03.721 --> 00:23:10.865
And then in front of you, you see a beautiful path, soft grass, you're barefoot and you feel the sun upon you.
00:23:11.846 --> 00:23:13.426
It's a warm sunny day.
00:23:15.647 --> 00:23:23.051
And as you walk through the lavender field, you become very aware of a beautiful oak tree just in front of you.
00:23:24.212 --> 00:23:31.098
As you walk up to the oak tree, You see it surrounded with beautiful white flowers, which look quite magical.
00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:40.929
And you can see there little fairies or elemental beings jumping around and playing in the grass, in the flowers.
00:23:42.911 --> 00:23:48.435
And you just feel the magic all around you and the beauty of nature and what that brings.
00:23:49.997 --> 00:23:51.618
Now taking a nice deep breath in.
00:23:53.431 --> 00:24:04.021
And on the exhale, slowly bring yourself back and open your eyes when you feel ready to do so.
00:24:04.122 --> 00:24:04.722
Okay.
00:24:04.863 --> 00:24:06.865
It's very short, very sweet.
00:24:07.645 --> 00:24:10.608
Just wanting you to realize that that's in your mind.
00:24:10.648 --> 00:24:14.692
You are, I took you on that journey there to create those images in your mind.
00:24:14.712 --> 00:24:15.753
That's your imagination.
00:24:16.340 --> 00:24:21.704
So you're imagining the flowers, you're imagining the lavender, the sun, the scents.
00:24:21.944 --> 00:24:23.226
All of that's imagination.
00:24:23.526 --> 00:24:29.250
OK, so any questions so far, Charlotte, or should we jump straight to the other one?
00:24:29.530 --> 00:24:29.931
It's lovely.
00:24:29.971 --> 00:24:31.791
I just feel like I need a little nap now.
00:24:31.971 --> 00:24:34.413
So if you just don't mind talking a lot, that would be lovely.
00:24:34.433 --> 00:24:35.015
That was really nice.
00:24:35.035 --> 00:24:36.935
You're very good at that, though, I have to say.
00:24:36.976 --> 00:24:39.738
That whole, and your voice is lovely as well, to lead it.
00:24:39.758 --> 00:24:40.337
That was lovely.
00:24:40.377 --> 00:24:40.818
Thank you.
00:24:41.239 --> 00:24:42.638
No, I'm just enjoying it.
00:24:43.038 --> 00:24:43.380
Okay.
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:56.803
So the next, the second part is what I'd like you to do is to think of a problem or a decision you've got to make in your own life, something you need help and guidance with.
00:24:57.982 --> 00:25:00.143
So just take a moment to do that.
00:25:00.182 --> 00:25:04.104
Sometimes that's the hardest thing, actually, thinking, what is it I need to do?
00:25:04.144 --> 00:25:07.345
But whatever comes up for you, Charlotte, just think about that.
00:25:08.424 --> 00:25:10.465
Now, have you got something?
00:25:10.526 --> 00:25:10.786
Mm-hmm.
00:25:11.243 --> 00:25:12.265
Yeah.
00:25:12.305 --> 00:25:13.664
So closing your eyes now.
00:25:15.526 --> 00:25:19.768
And just grounding your energy again through the soles of your feet.
00:25:20.667 --> 00:25:22.788
We won't do the breathing because we've done that already.
00:25:23.529 --> 00:25:34.375
Now what I'd like you to do here is take your attention, your awareness, away from your mind, dropping it down into your heart chakra at the centre of your chest.
00:25:35.394 --> 00:25:41.313
And you imagine your heart chakra There's been a beautiful emerald green flower, like a lotus flower.
00:25:42.913 --> 00:25:46.714
Now we're going to invite that lotus to open its petals one by one.
00:25:47.894 --> 00:25:55.198
And as we open the flower, the whole body is flooded with a beautiful emerald green light.
00:25:56.617 --> 00:25:58.098
This is your heart centre.
00:25:58.118 --> 00:25:59.538
This is where you receive.
00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:01.599
This is a receiving centre.
00:26:01.619 --> 00:26:07.162
When we ask for help, ask for guidance, we receive those answers in our hearts.
00:26:08.528 --> 00:26:13.669
As we drop down again now to the solar plexus, just below the rib cage, the colour is yellow.
00:26:14.568 --> 00:26:17.789
Seeing a beautiful lotus flower again, opening its petals.
00:26:18.230 --> 00:26:27.593
This is your centre where you get your intuition, your clairsentience, your gut feeling, that knowing when something's right or not.
00:26:29.553 --> 00:26:33.314
And these are the two centres that I want you to tune into now.
00:26:35.575 --> 00:26:42.615
As we think, you think about your problem or your decision that you need to go through.
00:26:43.536 --> 00:26:44.816
And just tune into that.
00:26:46.396 --> 00:26:51.298
Tune into the solar plexus core and the heart center as well.
00:26:51.817 --> 00:26:52.958
Coming out of the mind.
00:26:52.978 --> 00:26:54.838
So I don't want you to think about it now.
00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:56.118
We're feeling.
00:26:56.159 --> 00:26:58.419
We're going into the aspect of feeling.
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:05.161
And just allow whatever to come up within you and...
00:27:07.075 --> 00:27:17.339
Don't start thinking about it because the analytical mind will come in and will start trying to work it out or tell you you cannot do that.
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.601
Okay, so stay out of the thinking mind.
00:27:20.060 --> 00:27:21.280
Stay with the feelings.
00:27:21.801 --> 00:27:24.803
Now go with your first initial feeling that you got.
00:27:25.323 --> 00:27:26.423
I want you to hold that.
00:27:27.604 --> 00:27:30.885
Now take in a deep breath in.
00:27:30.986 --> 00:27:35.928
And in the exhale, slowly bring yourself back into the room and open your eyes when you're ready.
00:27:38.055 --> 00:27:41.436
Okay.
00:27:41.917 --> 00:27:42.938
Wow.
00:27:43.057 --> 00:27:43.338
Yeah.
00:27:44.739 --> 00:27:48.501
If you haven't got anything now, don't worry about it because it might come later.
00:27:48.821 --> 00:27:50.542
Sometimes we don't get it immediately.
00:27:50.563 --> 00:27:55.385
It could come the next day, it could come the next hour, or something says something and we get an answer.
00:27:56.227 --> 00:28:03.211
We've sent that energy out to the universe, and we will receive back into our hearts.
00:28:03.721 --> 00:28:34.655
now knowing so did you receive anything was anything there yeah it was it was yeah because it's about work it's it's and it's a bit of a confusing time for me with other things going on i love this i love this role and ask the answer but there's other other prospects and it's there was no definitive answer but without a doubt during that it was different from the first meditation because I didn't really analyse what I was thinking or I didn't think.
00:28:36.077 --> 00:28:41.265
The way that you explain the colours and just focusing on those two centres, I don't know, it just made me...
00:28:42.470 --> 00:28:44.069
It made me feel different.
00:28:44.130 --> 00:28:45.030
Does that make sense?
00:28:45.070 --> 00:28:49.471
Well, that's the whole point for you to feel, to go into the aspect of feeling.
00:28:49.872 --> 00:28:52.491
I just want to give the viewers and yourself an example.
00:28:52.531 --> 00:28:55.452
Have you ever gone to bed at night with a problem on your mind?
00:28:56.093 --> 00:28:59.074
Something over and over and over and over again.
00:28:59.134 --> 00:29:00.874
And you say, oh, please help me.
00:29:00.913 --> 00:29:02.134
I need a solution to this.
00:29:02.354 --> 00:29:05.515
I find the night time is the time when that can happen in bed.
00:29:05.954 --> 00:29:07.055
It does, really does.
00:29:07.115 --> 00:29:09.276
And then you wake up in the morning.
00:29:09.976 --> 00:29:18.162
And before your body starts to really come round and your mind's not quite active yet, you get a solution to your problem.
00:29:18.382 --> 00:29:19.962
It's like, oh, I know what to do.
00:29:20.163 --> 00:29:21.785
It feels really good.
00:29:21.805 --> 00:29:25.086
That is your instrument.
00:29:27.229 --> 00:29:27.568
Yeah.
00:29:27.669 --> 00:29:33.272
But then what happens, and I get this, I wake up and I get the answer and I go, oh, that feels really great.
00:29:33.292 --> 00:29:33.413
Yeah.
00:29:33.432 --> 00:29:43.590
And then the mind comes in and goes, You can't do that because you know, the mind starts to come in and analyze it and tear it to pieces.
00:29:43.971 --> 00:29:53.635
Whereas our intuition, I say, I liken it to being like an internal satellite navigation system.
00:29:53.855 --> 00:29:54.136
Yeah.
00:29:54.676 --> 00:30:03.928
And it does give us the answers, but our mind is so analytical and you know, judging and, and then we, and then through our day we go, Oh no, I can't do that.
00:30:03.948 --> 00:30:04.508
That's a silly.
00:30:04.528 --> 00:30:07.089
So your intuition goes out the window a bit.
00:30:07.631 --> 00:30:07.911
Yeah.
00:30:07.931 --> 00:30:08.951
Have you had that experience at all?
00:30:08.971 --> 00:30:10.073
Oh my God, absolutely.
00:30:10.692 --> 00:30:12.054
I find I'm guilty as well.
00:30:12.134 --> 00:30:20.214
Again, going back to the mobile phone really is that the thing is, is that you can get the answer to everything and, Do you know what I mean?
00:30:20.515 --> 00:30:24.655
Literally at the end of your fingertips, anything you want to Google, you can obviously Google it.
00:30:24.675 --> 00:30:33.198
So I think that that immediate answer that you expect nowadays almost makes you a bit more analytical because you expect an answer.
00:30:33.218 --> 00:30:45.000
And I think what's really, really important, it's a great point that you've just brought up there, is that we don't lose our humanness and that we become so reliant upon humanity.
00:30:45.915 --> 00:30:49.019
You know, the AI systems and things like that.
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:51.000
They do make mistakes.
00:30:51.101 --> 00:30:52.201
They're not human.
00:30:52.622 --> 00:30:56.685
They have the wonderful six senses.
00:30:57.402 --> 00:31:00.665
that we have, that we've been born with, all of us.
00:31:01.286 --> 00:31:05.310
And we're not taught at school to tune into them, you see.
00:31:05.411 --> 00:31:06.771
And most of us don't know how to.
00:31:07.432 --> 00:31:11.617
But I think if we can start just with the intuition, start just feeling into it.
00:31:11.637 --> 00:31:15.060
When you've got a problem or an issue or something, don't react.
00:31:15.121 --> 00:31:17.063
Don't go in too quickly.
00:31:17.810 --> 00:31:19.813
And don't turn to AI.
00:31:20.473 --> 00:31:24.297
I would suggest sit for a moment with your own self.
00:31:25.178 --> 00:31:28.642
Because that's where your answers will lie, you see.
00:31:29.372 --> 00:32:24.967
absolutely yeah yeah no it's just nice to hear because i think in this day and age we really don't think about things like that i was saying the other day i was telling my daughter she's just turned nine and we're talking about telephone numbers and i was saying you know she should know my telephone number um and we were saying back in when i was younger we had the yellow pages where we'd have to find like telephone she was like what a book did everybody have this book I was like yeah it got delivered so weird oh thank you for reminding me for that because I'd completely forgotten about it I do I'm old enough to remember phone boxes as well I do remember yeah and then people on the window going come on because you've been on there too I know it's ridiculous you'd always have like a Yeah.
00:32:24.987 --> 00:32:32.795
I feel that if I look at my two sons, they're really, my youngest son who's twenty-six, he hardly ever goes on his phone.
00:32:32.815 --> 00:32:34.977
Amazing.
00:32:35.017 --> 00:32:36.157
He doesn't like it at all.
00:32:36.679 --> 00:32:42.084
I use it because it's a phone and when he needs to phone me or text me, but he's not on it.
00:32:42.144 --> 00:32:46.407
And it can be frustrating because sometimes I want to get hold of him and he's always got it off, you see.
00:32:48.022 --> 00:32:52.785
You should be proud of him, but I guess as a mum.
00:32:52.845 --> 00:32:53.805
I think it's a good thing.
00:32:55.204 --> 00:33:08.249
And it's good that it's young people that actually this is, you know, because I remember being in the car once with my two sons and I was dropping them off somewhere and none of them were talking.
00:33:08.789 --> 00:33:09.789
And do you know what they were doing?
00:33:09.809 --> 00:33:11.150
They were texting in the car.
00:33:12.550 --> 00:33:35.491
No! this was years ago when they were young young in each other rather than actually talking and this was something that came up from my son he's very you know he says he's got to learn the art of conversation again oh people because he sees it with friends he says they've all forgotten they've forgotten how to hold a proper conversation Absolutely.
00:33:35.731 --> 00:33:36.251
Absolutely.
00:33:36.271 --> 00:33:43.519
I mean, you see it in restaurants, in pubs where literally people, I mean, again, we're all guilty of it sometimes for crying out loud.
00:33:43.558 --> 00:33:47.363
But, you know, there are some people who literally don't exchange a conversation.
00:33:47.403 --> 00:33:49.365
They're just scrolling on their phones.
00:33:49.404 --> 00:33:51.856
It's A bit heartbreaking, I find.
00:33:55.219 --> 00:33:57.919
It is heartbreaking, yeah, absolutely.
00:33:57.939 --> 00:33:59.259
Yeah, it's worrying.
00:33:59.299 --> 00:34:01.299
Yeah, my dad gets up and tells them.
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.781
If he sees people, he says, have a conversation, put the phones down.
00:34:05.842 --> 00:34:11.043
Brilliant, fair play to him, because we're all saying it in our own heads or whispering it to somebody with us.
00:34:11.262 --> 00:34:12.264
I love the fact he actually says it.
00:34:12.284 --> 00:34:12.463
Yeah, yeah.
00:34:12.483 --> 00:34:12.704
Good.
00:34:12.744 --> 00:34:18.266
That's a generation thing that I think we should take on board.
00:34:20.331 --> 00:34:23.711
Louisa Marie, what's been happening with your clients?
00:34:23.731 --> 00:34:29.474
Because you are a very busy lady on our phone lines and, of course, with your own business as well.
00:34:29.893 --> 00:34:36.036
But what has been on people's mind if we are generalising, especially when it comes to imagination, intuition?
00:34:36.356 --> 00:34:38.317
What are people struggling with at the moment?
00:34:38.336 --> 00:34:40.757
OK, great question, Charlotte.
00:34:40.858 --> 00:34:41.677
It does vary.
00:34:41.757 --> 00:34:47.039
I think a lot of what I'm finding is a lot of relationships are struggling.
00:34:47.664 --> 00:34:53.927
I mean, I know relationships can be difficult generally because they bring up a lot within us, don't they?
00:34:54.027 --> 00:34:57.407
And they let us look at things that are going on with ourselves.
00:34:57.847 --> 00:35:00.989
We reflect a lot to each other in relationships.
00:35:01.710 --> 00:35:13.755
However, what I'm finding is, and this is generalised, not just on the phone lines, this is generalised in what I'm seeing in the world, is a lot of relationships are either stronger or they're completely...
00:35:14.936 --> 00:35:21.762
People are getting to a point now where I think they are looking for something deeper.
00:35:22.463 --> 00:35:30.271
And if it's not there in that relationship, then they have a problem with that partner, then it very naturally kind of falls away.
00:35:30.351 --> 00:35:41.503
So it's about learning to grow together and working through a lot of the problems that do present themselves and not just being in that society.
00:35:41.583 --> 00:35:55.449
But I do feel that what people are looking at at the moment is relationship problems, whether it's friendships, not just romantic ones, friendships as well, division in families.
00:35:56.250 --> 00:35:56.909
Yes.
00:35:57.329 --> 00:36:01.851
Families disagreeing or they're just not getting on.
00:36:02.130 --> 00:36:05.032
And I think there's a lot of stress in the world, isn't there, currently?
00:36:05.052 --> 00:36:05.972
Oh, absolutely.
00:36:07.032 --> 00:36:07.632
Going through...
00:36:07.873 --> 00:36:11.012
There's a big change happening in our humanity, really.
00:36:11.032 --> 00:36:12.893
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:12.914 --> 00:36:16.393
A lot of people trying to adjust to that, and I think it's quite difficult, quite challenging.
00:36:16.914 --> 00:36:19.775
And there's pressure on our relationships as well.
00:36:20.255 --> 00:36:21.635
Definitely, definitely.
00:36:21.655 --> 00:36:23.295
It's funny as well, again, I think...
00:36:25.061 --> 00:36:35.411
The thought of being on our own for a lot of people is incredibly scary, especially if we've been one of these people that's been in relationships since we were young and we've never had a time to be on our own.
00:36:35.451 --> 00:36:45.782
But actually, don't get me wrong, I'm very happily married now, but I remember when I was single before I met somebody, that time just being on my own, I think really...
00:36:46.422 --> 00:36:54.027
And and not dealing with it very well at the beginning, but, you know, actually finding out who I am on my own.
00:36:54.067 --> 00:37:00.831
And is it a bit controversial, Louisa Marie, to say, you know, that need for somebody else wasn't there.
00:37:00.911 --> 00:37:04.873
I had a want for somebody else, but I didn't need that person.
00:37:05.293 --> 00:37:08.355
Yeah, I think that's a wonderful way to put it, Charlotte, to be honest.
00:37:08.394 --> 00:37:09.155
And and.
00:37:10.697 --> 00:37:22.067
It's a very good point you've brought up there because nothing external, and I say this to people that I work with, nothing external really can bring us true happiness.
00:37:22.126 --> 00:37:24.027
Everything comes from within us.
00:37:24.108 --> 00:37:24.548
Everything.
00:37:25.728 --> 00:37:26.769
Find that inner peace.
00:37:27.110 --> 00:37:32.894
And then what happens is when we find that inner peace, we reflect a nice vibration outwards.
00:37:33.510 --> 00:37:36.931
And we attract the right partner to us if that's what we want.
00:37:37.311 --> 00:37:42.353
But being, a lot of people that I talk to as well are going through a big transformation in their lives at the moment.
00:37:42.952 --> 00:37:44.893
And that transformation requires solitude.
00:37:45.432 --> 00:37:48.614
It requires us not to be in a relationship.
00:37:49.094 --> 00:37:59.715
And it requires us to be, you know, a little bit with, it's nothing wrong with withdrawing your energy from society for a little while while you're going through some changes in your life.
00:37:59.755 --> 00:38:03.036
So you can integrate those changes in for yourself.
00:38:04.110 --> 00:38:07.472
So I think it's a very natural part of being human.
00:38:08.253 --> 00:38:09.514
Yeah.
00:38:09.554 --> 00:38:11.655
Sometimes we need to just take ourselves.
00:38:12.074 --> 00:38:13.275
I sometimes mean I live alone.
00:38:13.315 --> 00:38:14.195
It's lovely for me.
00:38:14.275 --> 00:38:16.677
I don't have all that.
00:38:17.358 --> 00:38:18.217
I like it.
00:38:18.277 --> 00:38:19.179
That suits me.
00:38:19.318 --> 00:38:26.021
You know, now I still sometimes take myself off to Tintagel, which is an hour down the road.
00:38:26.061 --> 00:38:29.184
OK, I go and just kind of be with me.
00:38:30.070 --> 00:38:58.983
oh and get by the sea and tune into the element of water and just have that time to reflect on my life where I'm at I think we all need that you know it's so important definitely definitely a bit of a balance as well I think when you are a parent or you've got responsibilities you know you battle with oh what am I being selfish you know that's my time but actually it's kind of key to like like you said earlier you know that blank canvas we have to make sure that we're okay to make sure everybody else is Yeah, yeah.
00:38:59.003 --> 00:39:01.306
So important, Charlotte.
00:39:01.425 --> 00:39:01.865
It really is.
00:39:02.567 --> 00:39:02.847
It is.
00:39:02.927 --> 00:39:05.329
Oh, well, Louise and Maria, I can't believe the time.
00:39:05.750 --> 00:39:09.193
That's nearly all the time we've got on this podcast.
00:39:09.233 --> 00:39:11.494
Have you done a podcast with Ask the Answer before, lovely?
00:39:11.934 --> 00:39:12.275
I haven't.
00:39:12.295 --> 00:39:13.275
It's my first one with you.
00:39:13.295 --> 00:39:14.197
Oh, nice.
00:39:15.217 --> 00:39:17.599
You didn't see Adele before because she was doing the...
00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:48.110
the podcast before um i think it got cancelled for some other reason oh well i'm glad that i got the pleasure of interviewing you and speaking to you it's been lovely to connect with you again and it's flown by where is that half an hour it's gone so quickly isn't it so quickly would you be up doing another one oh definitely absolutely maybe another like a obviously you know what you're talking about and you can um organize it but maybe a bit of a longer meditation because i really enjoyed that Yeah, I'm happy to do that.
00:39:48.130 --> 00:39:51.052
I've got lots of channel my meditation.
00:39:51.112 --> 00:39:57.373
So perhaps I could take one, take the viewers through into a nice channeled meditation and they can miss those deeper levels a little bit.
00:39:57.393 --> 00:39:58.114
I'd love that.
00:39:58.695 --> 00:39:59.335
I'd love that.
00:39:59.474 --> 00:40:00.875
Yes, please, Louisa Marie.
00:40:01.215 --> 00:40:05.757
Well, my love, last words to our to our viewers and listeners before we say our goodbyes.
00:40:06.664 --> 00:40:10.947
Thank you for taking the time to connect with us today.
00:40:11.168 --> 00:40:22.257
And I'd just like to say, use this information if you feel to, in your own life this week, so that you can tune in to your own intuition, practice it and see how it works.
00:40:22.277 --> 00:40:27.603
And the more you tune into it, the more it will become stronger and clearer for you as well.
00:40:28.733 --> 00:40:29.313
Amazing.
00:40:29.833 --> 00:40:30.755
You're a superstar.
00:40:30.775 --> 00:40:34.336
Louisa Marie, thank you so much for being our guest on today's podcast.
00:40:34.918 --> 00:40:35.518
Thank you.
00:40:35.818 --> 00:40:35.980
See
00:00:00.064 --> 00:00:04.368
Hello everybody and welcome to the Ask the Answer podcast.
00:00:04.788 --> 00:00:10.012
I'm Charlotte, I'm your host and I'm here with a very, very special young lady actually.
00:00:10.313 --> 00:00:14.115
We've worked together a lot in the past on Sky Television.
00:00:14.657 --> 00:00:18.839
She's an incredibly talented psychic and she's here joining us.
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:20.442
So let's welcome Louisa Marie.
00:00:22.524 --> 00:00:24.024
Hello Louisa Marie, how are you?
00:00:25.038 --> 00:00:25.960
Hello, Charlotte.
00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:26.400
Hi.
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:27.742
So lovely to see you again.
00:00:28.164 --> 00:00:29.707
So nice to see you again.
00:00:30.108 --> 00:00:31.751
I feel like I'm ten years younger.
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.281
Do you?
00:00:33.301 --> 00:00:35.643
Well, you haven't tried it before.
00:00:36.302 --> 00:00:37.584
You look exactly the same.
00:00:37.723 --> 00:00:38.344
Oh, bless you.
00:00:38.384 --> 00:00:39.545
Likewise, so do you.
00:00:39.585 --> 00:00:45.829
But we were saying, weren't we, that it's probably, probably it's about ten years since we've actually worked in a studio together.
00:00:46.450 --> 00:00:49.572
Yeah, it's so, I don't know where that ten years has gone, honestly, Charlotte.
00:00:49.591 --> 00:00:51.051
It's absolutely flown by.
00:00:51.072 --> 00:00:53.613
Do you know, it actually freaks me out.
00:00:53.654 --> 00:00:55.795
Because you've got two lovely boys, haven't you?
00:00:55.814 --> 00:00:56.496
I have.
00:00:57.219 --> 00:00:58.920
Yes, I remember.
00:00:59.201 --> 00:01:08.685
And I think when you have children, I don't know, it seems since I've had children that my life is just going so fast because you almost see them growing up as well as yourself.
00:01:08.745 --> 00:01:12.445
And I don't know, I don't I don't like it, actually, if I'm honest, time goes too quick.
00:01:12.826 --> 00:01:13.727
It's very strange.
00:01:13.787 --> 00:01:15.507
Both my boys have flown the nest.
00:01:15.828 --> 00:01:17.868
Oh, how old are they?
00:01:18.468 --> 00:01:20.629
One's twenty nine, one's twenty eight.
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:24.311
I know, it's just absolutely gone so quickly.
00:01:24.552 --> 00:01:26.834
And I'm now living in Glastonbury.
00:01:27.254 --> 00:01:31.617
I think when I came on the show with you before, I was in Hertfordshire then.
00:01:32.037 --> 00:01:33.597
I think you were, yes.
00:01:33.617 --> 00:01:35.239
I lived in Germany for a little while.
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.042
I was living there and then that was when COVID happened and everything went on.
00:01:39.061 --> 00:01:42.203
What was that like being in another country?
00:01:42.243 --> 00:01:43.844
What was Germany like when that was happening?
00:01:43.864 --> 00:01:44.605
Oh, very strict.
00:01:44.625 --> 00:01:48.968
They closed down a lot quicker before us and I had to leave.
00:01:49.617 --> 00:01:50.537
and come back.
00:01:50.737 --> 00:01:57.801
So I sold my house in Hertford and moved to Glastonbury and I love it here.
00:01:58.180 --> 00:02:00.621
It's fantastic.
00:02:00.641 --> 00:02:00.742
Yeah.
00:02:00.762 --> 00:02:03.183
A lot of you spiritualists end up, isn't it?
00:02:03.203 --> 00:02:04.183
Let's face it, or start.
00:02:04.582 --> 00:02:08.383
Well, it's very creative and it's because the energy is conducive to it.
00:02:08.424 --> 00:02:15.747
So you get a lot of psychics, mediums, artists, you know, musicians here, which is wonderful.
00:02:15.787 --> 00:02:16.046
Yeah.
00:02:16.562 --> 00:02:19.403
And it must be so nice to be around like-minded people as well.
00:02:19.824 --> 00:02:20.223
It is.
00:02:20.304 --> 00:02:21.204
I feel like I'm home.
00:02:21.463 --> 00:02:24.224
I feel like I'm meant to be now.
00:02:25.245 --> 00:02:26.665
So I'm hanging around in my house.
00:02:26.705 --> 00:02:27.605
My boys have left.
00:02:27.626 --> 00:02:30.146
Oh, my goodness me.
00:02:30.667 --> 00:02:31.387
Quite nice.
00:02:31.766 --> 00:02:33.168
They come back every so often.
00:02:33.207 --> 00:02:34.987
They fly back and come into the nest.
00:02:35.687 --> 00:02:36.268
Good.
00:02:36.367 --> 00:02:36.748
Yeah.
00:02:36.769 --> 00:02:37.209
I bet they do.
00:02:38.718 --> 00:02:40.219
Boys always need their mamas.
00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:43.622
They do, they do.
00:02:44.462 --> 00:02:52.229
Now, Louise Marie, I have the pleasure of, or I've had the pleasure of working with you, like I said, a fair few times, and I've interviewed you many times.
00:02:52.269 --> 00:02:56.231
So I know I love your work, and I genuinely mean that.
00:02:56.331 --> 00:03:03.016
I always found you quite fascinating to interview, and the way that you think, I really respect, and I know that you live your life by it as well.
00:03:03.477 --> 00:03:04.277
But can you just...
00:03:05.241 --> 00:03:08.385
Kind of introduce yourself, I suppose, to our viewers.
00:03:08.406 --> 00:03:10.228
You know, where did your gift come from?
00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:11.651
Who are you?
00:03:11.871 --> 00:03:15.717
Where do you kind of like specialise when it comes to the psychic world?
00:03:16.324 --> 00:03:26.769
Okay, yeah, the first time I ever knew that I could do anything like this, actually, was on platform, doing a demonstration of mediumship, lighted up by the medium.
00:03:26.829 --> 00:03:35.353
I was just supposed to be attending a workshop, and she pulled me up onto the platform, and she said, I just want to show you what you can do, and I gave a psychic...
00:03:36.337 --> 00:03:58.727
message to somebody in the audience got them to stand up and it was all right she understood it and then I brought through somebody in mediumship who's you know given a communication yeah yeah and that was all right and I spoke to the medium and she said to me afterwards you know I just wanted to show you this was in my early twenties she said to me I just wanted to show you how you would use your gift in your forties.
00:03:58.887 --> 00:04:05.128
And it was absolutely true because that's when I started to do a lot more with mediumship, with the platform and things like that, serving the churches.
00:04:06.348 --> 00:04:07.949
So that's how my gift began.
00:04:07.968 --> 00:04:09.449
I was then I went into healing.
00:04:09.810 --> 00:04:12.631
I was a famous psychic surgeon.
00:04:13.371 --> 00:04:16.132
And now I'm in Glastonbury.
00:04:16.151 --> 00:04:19.372
What my passion is really is I love it all.
00:04:19.533 --> 00:04:20.372
You know, I do love it.
00:04:20.937 --> 00:04:21.937
All my work.
00:04:22.958 --> 00:04:25.800
But what I've done, I've created a school.
00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:28.482
And now I do mainly teaching, Charlotte.
00:04:28.521 --> 00:04:32.024
So I help mediums to discover their gift.
00:04:32.824 --> 00:04:34.045
Amazing.
00:04:34.766 --> 00:04:36.987
Up now at my age, yes.
00:04:37.108 --> 00:04:41.851
I've learned through my thirty years of experience, really.
00:04:41.872 --> 00:04:43.572
That's incredible.
00:04:45.113 --> 00:04:47.735
You did used to teach, though, didn't you, as well, Louisa Marie?
00:04:47.755 --> 00:04:48.737
You've always done a bit of that.
00:04:49.197 --> 00:04:50.637
I've been teaching for a long time.
00:04:52.425 --> 00:04:57.209
I've just very naturally gravitated to doing more with the teaching aspects.
00:04:57.769 --> 00:05:02.833
And I take mentorships and then I help people right from the beginning all the way through.
00:05:03.314 --> 00:05:05.754
And I train platform mediums as well to do.
00:05:07.096 --> 00:05:12.800
And then I train people to do divine services and private sittings or readings.
00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:16.723
So it's a whole plethora of different things, depending on what's needed.
00:05:16.783 --> 00:05:17.223
Yeah.
00:05:18.562 --> 00:05:19.622
That sounds so lovely.
00:05:19.682 --> 00:05:21.502
And it is one of those things that you said about Glastonbury.
00:05:21.523 --> 00:05:24.665
It's obviously a very well-known spiritual place in England.
00:05:26.084 --> 00:05:27.966
Is it busy with what you do?
00:05:28.065 --> 00:05:32.088
Do you find that the majority of your local people are up for that?
00:05:32.148 --> 00:05:33.769
And do you attend your workshops and things?
00:05:34.305 --> 00:05:39.466
Well, I tend to do most of my workshops and everything's on Zoom now so I can reach people.
00:05:39.906 --> 00:05:43.148
So I have students in America, Japan, China, all over Australia.
00:05:44.468 --> 00:05:49.410
But I do also hold it in person because I think it's really important to have that in-person aspect.
00:05:49.430 --> 00:05:49.569
I do.
00:05:50.644 --> 00:05:54.466
And I started two years ago, Charlotte, in Glastonbury.
00:05:54.966 --> 00:06:03.230
What I realised when I came here to live was there was nothing representing what I represent, not in a religious way, but in a spiritualism.
00:06:03.891 --> 00:06:06.372
And that's what I work with.
00:06:07.733 --> 00:06:13.817
So I opened something called the centre here, called the Spiritually Centre of Avalon.
00:06:14.658 --> 00:06:18.160
And it's a centre where we meet once a month.
00:06:19.228 --> 00:06:22.091
And it's all done for, it's not done for money.
00:06:22.132 --> 00:06:23.514
Everything's done intentionally.
00:06:23.634 --> 00:06:29.680
And anything that we make goes back into the community to help with homelessness, with food, things like that.
00:06:31.343 --> 00:06:32.906
That's been really well received.
00:06:32.946 --> 00:06:35.108
And it's been, I've really enjoyed doing that.
00:06:35.127 --> 00:06:37.031
It's a way we service.
00:06:37.507 --> 00:06:41.247
once a month, so that's the church service.
00:06:41.588 --> 00:06:45.050
But I do it from a mainly non-religious aspect, if you know what I mean.
00:06:45.069 --> 00:06:47.850
Yes, yes, absolutely, absolutely.
00:06:49.071 --> 00:06:58.973
Well, with all of that in mind, you have got a brilliant topic that I am intrigued about getting my teeth into, so I can't wait to hear you get your teeth into it.
00:06:59.014 --> 00:07:03.295
So introduce it to our viewers, please, and then can we tear it apart?
00:07:03.875 --> 00:07:04.915
Yes, absolutely.
00:07:04.975 --> 00:07:09.882
So my topic is the difference between imagination and intuition.
00:07:10.502 --> 00:07:23.413
And the reason I wanted to bring that on is because when I first begin with students, right at the beginning of their development, one of the biggest questions that they ask me is, how can I tell the difference between my imagination and my intuition?
00:07:24.694 --> 00:07:26.814
It's very subtle, the difference.
00:07:26.855 --> 00:07:27.735
It's very gentle.
00:07:28.497 --> 00:07:36.963
The way I can describe it, Charlotte, is that the imagination comes from the mind and the intuition comes from our sixth sense.
00:07:38.706 --> 00:07:45.870
which all have, everybody has that gut feeling, that knowing, you know, you just know something's right or you know when it's not.
00:07:46.771 --> 00:07:58.297
So it was, and it really, really hit me just recently as well about the difference between this and how it's used in so many different aspects of business, of life.
00:07:59.298 --> 00:08:00.918
And it's something that everybody has.
00:08:01.499 --> 00:08:05.040
So you don't, it's not reserved for the specialist psychic or the medium.
00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:06.341
We all have it.
00:08:06.362 --> 00:08:07.122
Yeah.
00:08:07.495 --> 00:08:22.307
been taught to tune into it or to even recognize it that's the big question and and how do we tune into it and recognize it and i was in meditation today to take the viewers through they can experience that themselves.
00:08:22.468 --> 00:08:26.848
So they know very clearly when it's imagination and when it's intuition.
00:08:26.949 --> 00:08:30.149
I'm very excited about that, especially as you're doing this guided meditation.
00:08:30.170 --> 00:08:32.870
So it's coming in two parts, isn't it?
00:08:32.990 --> 00:08:34.210
It is, absolutely.
00:08:34.509 --> 00:08:39.250
The first part I'm going to take the viewers through is where we tune into the imagination.
00:08:39.291 --> 00:08:48.812
So I'm going to be taking them on a little meditation, not a long one, just so that you can feel what it's like to be in the mind of imagination.
00:08:49.613 --> 00:08:57.056
And then the second part, we're going to think of a problem or something we need guidance on, help in our lives.
00:08:57.456 --> 00:09:01.957
And I'm going to show you how to tune into that so you can get the answer for yourself.
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:03.198
I love it.
00:09:03.538 --> 00:09:07.941
Now, do our viewers and listeners need to do anything to prepare for that?
00:09:08.426 --> 00:09:12.532
And just off the back of that, when would you like to do that during this podcast?
00:09:12.611 --> 00:09:16.376
Sooner rather than later or kind of like at the end when we've talked about things?
00:09:17.618 --> 00:09:21.043
I think there's nothing they need to do.
00:09:21.062 --> 00:09:23.265
Make sure their phones are off or on silent.
00:09:23.912 --> 00:09:27.274
And that you'll be disturbed just for a few minutes because it's not a long, long one.
00:09:27.313 --> 00:09:28.754
It's just they're fairly quick.
00:09:28.774 --> 00:09:29.695
They're fairly short.
00:09:30.875 --> 00:09:33.836
And I think it's probably nice to talk a little bit about it first.
00:09:34.136 --> 00:09:34.376
Yes.
00:09:34.397 --> 00:09:41.059
So the viewers can understand it a bit more deeply and then take them into the meditation.
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.581
That's perfect.
00:09:44.621 --> 00:09:45.883
Thank you very much, my love.
00:09:46.243 --> 00:09:46.743
Thank you.
00:09:47.964 --> 00:09:48.504
Earlier on.
00:09:49.330 --> 00:09:56.456
When I heard about your topic, I said that I've done a little VT for the for the website and the app and on our social media.
00:09:57.277 --> 00:10:05.923
And a couple of things that we because I was discussing a little bit about intuition and anxiety, actually, rather than you say imagination.
00:10:05.964 --> 00:10:16.611
We were talking specifically about anxiety and interesting because in it we say that intuition comes from trust and anxiety comes from fear.
00:10:17.870 --> 00:10:19.533
What's your take on that, please?
00:10:19.773 --> 00:10:21.793
I think that's absolutely perfect.
00:10:22.315 --> 00:10:31.182
That's spot on because anxiety, when we go into anxiety, Charlotte, what happens is everything begins with the mind.
00:10:31.623 --> 00:10:34.645
And when we go into anxiety, what we're doing is we're not in the present moment.
00:10:35.326 --> 00:11:03.482
we are our mind is usually in the future worrying about things that haven't even happened and probably never will happen um and we we conjure up all these imaginations in our mind about things that may happen and what that does every time every thought that we have creates an emotion within us yes our mind is in the future worrying about something Which is not very, you know, we all do it.
00:11:03.863 --> 00:11:09.408
It's very hard not to do it sometimes when we've got worries and difficulties in our lives.
00:11:09.469 --> 00:11:12.030
We do often start worrying and going into the future.
00:11:12.491 --> 00:11:16.696
And that's what builds anxiety because it takes away our power, you see.
00:11:17.284 --> 00:11:20.827
So I think your description of it was very accurate, actually.
00:11:20.888 --> 00:11:21.388
Very good.
00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:22.769
Oh, thank you.
00:11:22.849 --> 00:11:23.190
Thank you.
00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:28.533
I'd love to take the credit, but we were discussing it and it just came up.
00:11:31.056 --> 00:11:34.458
Now, meditation off the back of what you were saying.
00:11:34.479 --> 00:11:35.740
See, this is right.
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.541
You know me, Louisa Marie.
00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:39.302
I am quite a spiritual person.
00:11:39.381 --> 00:11:40.383
I love all of this.
00:11:40.482 --> 00:11:41.783
I believe in it all.
00:11:42.965 --> 00:11:43.546
One thing.
00:11:44.707 --> 00:11:48.216
I've worked with you guys for many, many years, probably about up to twenty.
00:11:49.177 --> 00:11:52.525
I have tried to meditate so many times.
00:11:53.993 --> 00:12:26.054
every tip going and i i don't think i ever get into that state because i question things i'm i just can't are you gonna tell me that i'm wrong in a way i wish that i hope that you do can everybody meditate is it something that we're all open to yes we're all able to do it charlotte absolutely and i think from going from what you've just said what i was picking up there was that you're probably, let me see if I get this right for you, but you're probably very analytical in your mind.
00:12:26.674 --> 00:12:33.860
You're probably very, you know, physically organised person as well, and you're a doer, you like to be doing.
00:12:34.402 --> 00:12:34.922
Is that right?
00:12:35.381 --> 00:12:35.962
Yes.
00:12:36.722 --> 00:12:46.150
So when we're like that, you see, what's very hard is all of a sudden we're in our day-to-day world, doing our washing, our cleaning, our ironing, our cooking, everything.
00:12:46.767 --> 00:12:49.371
And then all of a sudden we sit down and we go, right, now I'm going to steal the mind.
00:12:50.013 --> 00:12:51.075
It doesn't work like that.
00:12:54.621 --> 00:12:58.590
The reason it doesn't work like that is because it's the nature of the mind to think.
00:13:00.990 --> 00:13:01.191
Okay.
00:13:01.211 --> 00:13:01.610
Yes.
00:13:01.630 --> 00:13:09.174
So if it's the nature of the mind to think and all of a sudden we're going, right, I'm just going to sit here and now I'm going to switch off the thinking, it doesn't happen at all.
00:13:09.674 --> 00:13:11.095
So I would relax with that.
00:13:11.235 --> 00:13:28.124
And the way I help students with that is I say, imagine your thoughts, where we sit quietly, are on a conveyor belt and they're going through the mind and you just let them go, visualise them through the mind and letting it go, not following that thought.
00:13:28.937 --> 00:13:31.620
So this is a practice that you can do to start calming.
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:46.350
Another practice I bring in is before you sit down and you're in your busy day, before you sit down to try and meditate, actually chant, do some chanting with some mala beads or something like that, some affirmations or some breath work.
00:13:48.336 --> 00:14:15.686
rather than just going straight into trying to quieten the mind so yeah breath is really good as well actually just thinking about like when I was younger I used to have a few panic attacks so when you think about actually how powerful breath work is actually I've never thought about that Louise because I can do that and I know physically mentally emotionally you know that that works that's genius bringing it in with the meditation Yeah, it's something I do.
00:14:16.145 --> 00:14:19.408
Before I'm going to meditate, I will sit down in front of my altar.
00:14:20.048 --> 00:14:21.169
I will chant.
00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:24.511
I've got mala beads, which if anyone knows what they are, you can count.
00:14:24.532 --> 00:14:25.273
It's a hundred and eight.
00:14:25.293 --> 00:14:26.113
It's a magic number.
00:14:26.714 --> 00:14:27.153
Oh, is it?
00:14:27.214 --> 00:14:27.594
Hang on.
00:14:27.653 --> 00:14:28.195
Stop there.
00:14:28.595 --> 00:14:29.716
I don't know about these.
00:14:29.755 --> 00:14:32.057
Because obviously I know about crystals and everything.
00:14:32.116 --> 00:14:32.778
Tell me.
00:14:33.317 --> 00:14:38.922
I haven't got any handy to show you, but mala beads are a little, they're sort of magical beads.
00:14:39.447 --> 00:14:42.967
You can have them in all different types of crystal or just plain ones.
00:14:43.327 --> 00:14:47.470
And there's a hundred and eight on them and they're used in meditation to count.
00:14:47.850 --> 00:14:56.011
So you might, you hold the thumb and the third finger and you hold one bead and one bead is one chant.
00:14:56.032 --> 00:15:03.455
So you might chant, if you're chanting om, for example, om, and then you go to another bead, om, another bead, om.
00:15:04.095 --> 00:15:04.315
Okay.
00:15:05.288 --> 00:15:08.129
And then at the hundred and eight, that's the magical number.
00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:11.831
And you're sending out this beautiful vibration into the universe.
00:15:13.033 --> 00:15:19.275
And what that does is it also starts to calm the mind down.
00:15:19.615 --> 00:15:21.317
And it prepares us for meditation.
00:15:21.996 --> 00:15:23.177
That's genius.
00:15:23.317 --> 00:15:24.999
I've never, ever heard of them.
00:15:25.278 --> 00:15:27.480
And I've never heard of the magic number one hundred and eight.
00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:30.240
Louise and Marie, every day is a school day with you, my love.
00:15:30.260 --> 00:15:30.501
Carry on.
00:15:30.802 --> 00:15:33.263
Carry on.
00:15:35.052 --> 00:16:30.827
okay great so so yes you can do your your breath work your chanting and then when you sit down to meditate yeah i do just a little tip is i focus my attention at the point between the eyebrows so your third eye yeah and just see like a beautiful white candle there with the flames holding that breathing nice and deep breathing then let the breathing come back to normal and just hold your focus on the flame and gently only sit for five to ten minutes don't try and do any more and this is what i'm giving for you so that you can your mind and bring yourself into more the benefits are huge charlotte yeah so much in your day um i always tell my students please Do five, ten minutes meditation before you jump into your day ahead because it prepares your whole energy for the day you're going into.
00:16:30.847 --> 00:16:38.390
It's funny you say that because I thought that this morning because I've got three very young children and it is absolutely mental in the mornings.
00:16:38.410 --> 00:16:43.753
And this morning when I was doing their lunch boxes, I actually thought to myself, Charlotte, you just need to get up.
00:16:44.033 --> 00:16:46.594
Because obviously I get up at like six, half six anyway.
00:16:46.874 --> 00:17:22.071
But I said, if I just got up, an extra fifteen minutes earlier than once I've had my shower and everything just to have a bit of me time but to actually do what you've just said and almost have that in you know that planned I think that's such a good idea actually yeah build it into your daily routine like brushing your teeth and another little tip as well is before bed preparing yourself for the sleep state so I turn my phone off before about an hour before I'm going to go to sleep and I'm like social medias or anything like that, like candles.
00:17:22.173 --> 00:17:24.054
And I do a bit of meditation, a bit of chanting.
00:17:24.074 --> 00:17:31.661
And what that does is it detaches us from all the stuff we've been doing all day and prepares our mind and body to go into that sleep state.
00:17:31.681 --> 00:17:36.060
So you can, potentially get a night's sleep as well.
00:17:36.101 --> 00:17:41.746
That sounds brilliant because obviously then you're going to wake up the next day more prepared, feeling more up for everything.
00:17:42.227 --> 00:17:43.307
What is your take?
00:17:43.327 --> 00:17:46.810
I mean, you said there that you turn your mobile phone off an hour before bed.
00:17:46.871 --> 00:17:49.933
That's another thing that I so need to do.
00:17:50.974 --> 00:17:58.561
I am quite conscious of being on my phone and I'd like to think I'm not, you know, don't scroll very often because I don't want my children to see me doing it and all of that kind of thing.
00:17:59.208 --> 00:18:08.810
But it is something that I think takes up so much of our brain and takes us away from things like meditation, gut instincts, all things like that.
00:18:09.211 --> 00:18:14.152
What's your take on how much time we all spend on our mobile phones?
00:18:14.913 --> 00:18:17.113
Yeah, it's a lot, isn't it?
00:18:17.272 --> 00:18:18.913
And I feel guilty of it as well.
00:18:18.953 --> 00:18:22.515
Sometimes I go on the social media and you get roped into it, don't you?
00:18:22.535 --> 00:18:23.694
You get pulled in, drawn in.
00:18:25.076 --> 00:18:33.166
But I think that we could, start to, it is part of our lives, Charlotte says, not going to go on it at all.
00:18:33.547 --> 00:18:46.198
I don't think you need to do that, but just limit the amount of time and bring in these little practices that we've been discussing so that you can have a little bit of time away from it, a little bit of you time connecting with yourself.
00:18:46.397 --> 00:18:47.659
So important, isn't it?
00:18:47.679 --> 00:18:50.040
Especially for our children, it keeps them to do that.
00:18:50.580 --> 00:18:51.261
Absolutely.
00:18:51.402 --> 00:18:51.781
Absolutely.
00:18:51.801 --> 00:18:52.623
I couldn't agree with you more.
00:18:52.643 --> 00:19:04.921
It was on the news actually yesterday that apparently it's come out that by, I don't know how they worked it out actually, but we will have all been on our phones for nearly five years in total.
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.821
Our lives, I mean, something like four hours a day.
00:19:10.642 --> 00:19:11.981
I know, it's horrendous, isn't it?
00:19:12.001 --> 00:19:19.983
And then I read something the other week, I can't remember where I read it, about how this could change the human anatomy as well.
00:19:20.503 --> 00:19:22.384
And people get a phone neck.
00:19:22.963 --> 00:19:25.204
And it's constantly...
00:19:25.778 --> 00:19:28.420
You're not up your heads down and forward.
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:34.204
And what this does is it cuts off your life force energy going into the brain.
00:19:34.904 --> 00:19:39.709
So if you're going to be on your phone, try and have it on the stand or holding it upright.
00:19:39.729 --> 00:19:42.111
So your head isn't down and forward like that.
00:19:42.570 --> 00:19:44.833
It can go into the brain as well.
00:19:45.573 --> 00:19:50.596
So research that I read about and I thought, oh, that's that sounds really right, actually.
00:19:50.777 --> 00:19:52.858
Yeah, fine and everything.
00:19:53.482 --> 00:20:21.229
yeah yeah crazy honestly oh god I just there was also somebody that said and it's so simple but rather than taking your phone around with you in your house leave it literally like in the kitchen on the side and that will be the place to be and if you get a beep don't go to it you're so I don't know where our senses are so heightened by that need yeah yeah my son my oldest son He was, he's very, he's a bit of a gamer and, you know, he loves his phone.
00:20:21.669 --> 00:20:23.369
And he lost his phone.
00:20:23.769 --> 00:20:30.373
And for some reason or other, he didn't have a phone for three months, which was a little bit frustrating for me because it's getting old.
00:20:30.393 --> 00:20:32.973
But we talked on other platforms.
00:20:33.334 --> 00:20:38.256
Anyway, he came back to me and he said, mum, it's changed my life.
00:20:39.022 --> 00:20:42.203
He said, I am so awake to the world.
00:20:42.263 --> 00:20:44.344
I'm looking around me when I'm out in the street.
00:20:44.443 --> 00:20:46.005
I'm looking at nature.
00:20:46.085 --> 00:20:50.486
He says, I feel so much happier and more content with not having my phone.
00:20:50.806 --> 00:20:52.766
And he's not even bothered about getting it back.
00:20:53.205 --> 00:20:55.186
But he's not done anything with another phone.
00:20:55.207 --> 00:20:56.307
His dad's given him a phone.
00:20:56.626 --> 00:20:58.228
He doesn't want to be on it very often.
00:20:58.548 --> 00:20:59.807
So he's changed his whole life.
00:21:00.811 --> 00:21:32.968
idea about how he's living his life yeah that is incredible that is incredible but in a way makes you think it's sad that lots of other kids you know or people in their twenties they might not have that experience to know how freeing it is do you know what I mean because we don't get rid of our phones for three months whereas it's not a bad thing yeah no it's not a bad thing at all when I go anywhere on holiday and I can't get reception I go oh It's actually really nice.
00:21:33.107 --> 00:21:35.989
Yeah, nobody can get me.
00:21:37.749 --> 00:21:38.588
Absolutely.
00:21:39.710 --> 00:21:40.650
All right, my lovely.
00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:43.651
Well, shall we do the first meditation?
00:21:43.750 --> 00:21:44.371
Is that all right?
00:21:44.391 --> 00:21:45.911
And then we can... Absolutely, yeah.
00:21:45.931 --> 00:21:47.551
Are you going to go along with it, Charlotte?
00:21:48.511 --> 00:21:51.153
You know me, I'm going for anything for the reason.
00:21:52.593 --> 00:21:53.093
Fabulous.
00:21:53.232 --> 00:21:55.854
Okay, so if you'd like to close your eyes.
00:21:56.713 --> 00:22:33.858
and just starting to if you can just feel the earth beneath your feet and let's just together take a nice deep breath in through the nose visualizing the breath going deep down into the belly and then slowly releasing the breath through the mouth and relax so we do this once more nice deep breath in through the nose visualize the breath going deep down into the belly and slowly releasing through the mouth Really allowing the body to be relaxed now as we detach in the physical world and all the things we've been doing.
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.381
Let's leave all the things we've got to do at the front door just for now.
00:22:38.881 --> 00:22:40.761
Give us this time just to pause.
00:22:41.721 --> 00:22:43.923
And I invite you to join me on a journey.
00:22:45.323 --> 00:22:50.884
And if you'd like to imagine in your mind's eye that you're walking through a beautiful lavender field.
00:22:52.246 --> 00:22:56.126
You look down and you see the lavender each side of you.
00:22:56.557 --> 00:23:03.162
It's very high and you can run your fingers through it and you get the smell of the lavender.
00:23:03.721 --> 00:23:10.865
And then in front of you, you see a beautiful path, soft grass, you're barefoot and you feel the sun upon you.
00:23:11.846 --> 00:23:13.426
It's a warm sunny day.
00:23:15.647 --> 00:23:23.051
And as you walk through the lavender field, you become very aware of a beautiful oak tree just in front of you.
00:23:24.212 --> 00:23:31.098
As you walk up to the oak tree, You see it surrounded with beautiful white flowers, which look quite magical.
00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:40.929
And you can see there little fairies or elemental beings jumping around and playing in the grass, in the flowers.
00:23:42.911 --> 00:23:48.435
And you just feel the magic all around you and the beauty of nature and what that brings.
00:23:49.997 --> 00:23:51.618
Now taking a nice deep breath in.
00:23:53.431 --> 00:24:04.021
And on the exhale, slowly bring yourself back and open your eyes when you feel ready to do so.
00:24:04.122 --> 00:24:04.722
Okay.
00:24:04.863 --> 00:24:06.865
It's very short, very sweet.
00:24:07.645 --> 00:24:10.608
Just wanting you to realize that that's in your mind.
00:24:10.648 --> 00:24:14.692
You are, I took you on that journey there to create those images in your mind.
00:24:14.712 --> 00:24:15.753
That's your imagination.
00:24:16.340 --> 00:24:21.704
So you're imagining the flowers, you're imagining the lavender, the sun, the scents.
00:24:21.944 --> 00:24:23.226
All of that's imagination.
00:24:23.526 --> 00:24:29.250
OK, so any questions so far, Charlotte, or should we jump straight to the other one?
00:24:29.530 --> 00:24:29.931
It's lovely.
00:24:29.971 --> 00:24:31.791
I just feel like I need a little nap now.
00:24:31.971 --> 00:24:34.413
So if you just don't mind talking a lot, that would be lovely.
00:24:34.433 --> 00:24:35.015
That was really nice.
00:24:35.035 --> 00:24:36.935
You're very good at that, though, I have to say.
00:24:36.976 --> 00:24:39.738
That whole, and your voice is lovely as well, to lead it.
00:24:39.758 --> 00:24:40.337
That was lovely.
00:24:40.377 --> 00:24:40.818
Thank you.
00:24:41.239 --> 00:24:42.638
No, I'm just enjoying it.
00:24:43.038 --> 00:24:43.380
Okay.
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:56.803
So the next, the second part is what I'd like you to do is to think of a problem or a decision you've got to make in your own life, something you need help and guidance with.
00:24:57.982 --> 00:25:00.143
So just take a moment to do that.
00:25:00.182 --> 00:25:04.104
Sometimes that's the hardest thing, actually, thinking, what is it I need to do?
00:25:04.144 --> 00:25:07.345
But whatever comes up for you, Charlotte, just think about that.
00:25:08.424 --> 00:25:10.465
Now, have you got something?
00:25:10.526 --> 00:25:10.786
Mm-hmm.
00:25:11.243 --> 00:25:12.265
Yeah.
00:25:12.305 --> 00:25:13.664
So closing your eyes now.
00:25:15.526 --> 00:25:19.768
And just grounding your energy again through the soles of your feet.
00:25:20.667 --> 00:25:22.788
We won't do the breathing because we've done that already.
00:25:23.529 --> 00:25:34.375
Now what I'd like you to do here is take your attention, your awareness, away from your mind, dropping it down into your heart chakra at the centre of your chest.
00:25:35.394 --> 00:25:41.313
And you imagine your heart chakra There's been a beautiful emerald green flower, like a lotus flower.
00:25:42.913 --> 00:25:46.714
Now we're going to invite that lotus to open its petals one by one.
00:25:47.894 --> 00:25:55.198
And as we open the flower, the whole body is flooded with a beautiful emerald green light.
00:25:56.617 --> 00:25:58.098
This is your heart centre.
00:25:58.118 --> 00:25:59.538
This is where you receive.
00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:01.599
This is a receiving centre.
00:26:01.619 --> 00:26:07.162
When we ask for help, ask for guidance, we receive those answers in our hearts.
00:26:08.528 --> 00:26:13.669
As we drop down again now to the solar plexus, just below the rib cage, the colour is yellow.
00:26:14.568 --> 00:26:17.789
Seeing a beautiful lotus flower again, opening its petals.
00:26:18.230 --> 00:26:27.593
This is your centre where you get your intuition, your clairsentience, your gut feeling, that knowing when something's right or not.
00:26:29.553 --> 00:26:33.314
And these are the two centres that I want you to tune into now.
00:26:35.575 --> 00:26:42.615
As we think, you think about your problem or your decision that you need to go through.
00:26:43.536 --> 00:26:44.816
And just tune into that.
00:26:46.396 --> 00:26:51.298
Tune into the solar plexus core and the heart center as well.
00:26:51.817 --> 00:26:52.958
Coming out of the mind.
00:26:52.978 --> 00:26:54.838
So I don't want you to think about it now.
00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:56.118
We're feeling.
00:26:56.159 --> 00:26:58.419
We're going into the aspect of feeling.
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:05.161
And just allow whatever to come up within you and...
00:27:07.075 --> 00:27:17.339
Don't start thinking about it because the analytical mind will come in and will start trying to work it out or tell you you cannot do that.
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.601
Okay, so stay out of the thinking mind.
00:27:20.060 --> 00:27:21.280
Stay with the feelings.
00:27:21.801 --> 00:27:24.803
Now go with your first initial feeling that you got.
00:27:25.323 --> 00:27:26.423
I want you to hold that.
00:27:27.604 --> 00:27:30.885
Now take in a deep breath in.
00:27:30.986 --> 00:27:35.928
And in the exhale, slowly bring yourself back into the room and open your eyes when you're ready.
00:27:38.055 --> 00:27:41.436
Okay.
00:27:41.917 --> 00:27:42.938
Wow.
00:27:43.057 --> 00:27:43.338
Yeah.
00:27:44.739 --> 00:27:48.501
If you haven't got anything now, don't worry about it because it might come later.
00:27:48.821 --> 00:27:50.542
Sometimes we don't get it immediately.
00:27:50.563 --> 00:27:55.385
It could come the next day, it could come the next hour, or something says something and we get an answer.
00:27:56.227 --> 00:28:03.211
We've sent that energy out to the universe, and we will receive back into our hearts.
00:28:03.721 --> 00:28:34.655
now knowing so did you receive anything was anything there yeah it was it was yeah because it's about work it's it's and it's a bit of a confusing time for me with other things going on i love this i love this role and ask the answer but there's other other prospects and it's there was no definitive answer but without a doubt during that it was different from the first meditation because I didn't really analyse what I was thinking or I didn't think.
00:28:36.077 --> 00:28:41.265
The way that you explain the colours and just focusing on those two centres, I don't know, it just made me...
00:28:42.470 --> 00:28:44.069
It made me feel different.
00:28:44.130 --> 00:28:45.030
Does that make sense?
00:28:45.070 --> 00:28:49.471
Well, that's the whole point for you to feel, to go into the aspect of feeling.
00:28:49.872 --> 00:28:52.491
I just want to give the viewers and yourself an example.
00:28:52.531 --> 00:28:55.452
Have you ever gone to bed at night with a problem on your mind?
00:28:56.093 --> 00:28:59.074
Something over and over and over and over again.
00:28:59.134 --> 00:29:00.874
And you say, oh, please help me.
00:29:00.913 --> 00:29:02.134
I need a solution to this.
00:29:02.354 --> 00:29:05.515
I find the night time is the time when that can happen in bed.
00:29:05.954 --> 00:29:07.055
It does, really does.
00:29:07.115 --> 00:29:09.276
And then you wake up in the morning.
00:29:09.976 --> 00:29:18.162
And before your body starts to really come round and your mind's not quite active yet, you get a solution to your problem.
00:29:18.382 --> 00:29:19.962
It's like, oh, I know what to do.
00:29:20.163 --> 00:29:21.785
It feels really good.
00:29:21.805 --> 00:29:25.086
That is your instrument.
00:29:27.229 --> 00:29:27.568
Yeah.
00:29:27.669 --> 00:29:33.272
But then what happens, and I get this, I wake up and I get the answer and I go, oh, that feels really great.
00:29:33.292 --> 00:29:33.413
Yeah.
00:29:33.432 --> 00:29:43.590
And then the mind comes in and goes, You can't do that because you know, the mind starts to come in and analyze it and tear it to pieces.
00:29:43.971 --> 00:29:53.635
Whereas our intuition, I say, I liken it to being like an internal satellite navigation system.
00:29:53.855 --> 00:29:54.136
Yeah.
00:29:54.676 --> 00:30:03.928
And it does give us the answers, but our mind is so analytical and you know, judging and, and then we, and then through our day we go, Oh no, I can't do that.
00:30:03.948 --> 00:30:04.508
That's a silly.
00:30:04.528 --> 00:30:07.089
So your intuition goes out the window a bit.
00:30:07.631 --> 00:30:07.911
Yeah.
00:30:07.931 --> 00:30:08.951
Have you had that experience at all?
00:30:08.971 --> 00:30:10.073
Oh my God, absolutely.
00:30:10.692 --> 00:30:12.054
I find I'm guilty as well.
00:30:12.134 --> 00:30:20.214
Again, going back to the mobile phone really is that the thing is, is that you can get the answer to everything and, Do you know what I mean?
00:30:20.515 --> 00:30:24.655
Literally at the end of your fingertips, anything you want to Google, you can obviously Google it.
00:30:24.675 --> 00:30:33.198
So I think that that immediate answer that you expect nowadays almost makes you a bit more analytical because you expect an answer.
00:30:33.218 --> 00:30:45.000
And I think what's really, really important, it's a great point that you've just brought up there, is that we don't lose our humanness and that we become so reliant upon humanity.
00:30:45.915 --> 00:30:49.019
You know, the AI systems and things like that.
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:51.000
They do make mistakes.
00:30:51.101 --> 00:30:52.201
They're not human.
00:30:52.622 --> 00:30:56.685
They have the wonderful six senses.
00:30:57.402 --> 00:31:00.665
that we have, that we've been born with, all of us.
00:31:01.286 --> 00:31:05.310
And we're not taught at school to tune into them, you see.
00:31:05.411 --> 00:31:06.771
And most of us don't know how to.
00:31:07.432 --> 00:31:11.617
But I think if we can start just with the intuition, start just feeling into it.
00:31:11.637 --> 00:31:15.060
When you've got a problem or an issue or something, don't react.
00:31:15.121 --> 00:31:17.063
Don't go in too quickly.
00:31:17.810 --> 00:31:19.813
And don't turn to AI.
00:31:20.473 --> 00:31:24.297
I would suggest sit for a moment with your own self.
00:31:25.178 --> 00:31:28.642
Because that's where your answers will lie, you see.
00:31:29.372 --> 00:32:24.967
absolutely yeah yeah no it's just nice to hear because i think in this day and age we really don't think about things like that i was saying the other day i was telling my daughter she's just turned nine and we're talking about telephone numbers and i was saying you know she should know my telephone number um and we were saying back in when i was younger we had the yellow pages where we'd have to find like telephone she was like what a book did everybody have this book I was like yeah it got delivered so weird oh thank you for reminding me for that because I'd completely forgotten about it I do I'm old enough to remember phone boxes as well I do remember yeah and then people on the window going come on because you've been on there too I know it's ridiculous you'd always have like a Yeah.
00:32:24.987 --> 00:32:32.795
I feel that if I look at my two sons, they're really, my youngest son who's twenty-six, he hardly ever goes on his phone.
00:32:32.815 --> 00:32:34.977
Amazing.
00:32:35.017 --> 00:32:36.157
He doesn't like it at all.
00:32:36.679 --> 00:32:42.084
I use it because it's a phone and when he needs to phone me or text me, but he's not on it.
00:32:42.144 --> 00:32:46.407
And it can be frustrating because sometimes I want to get hold of him and he's always got it off, you see.
00:32:48.022 --> 00:32:52.785
You should be proud of him, but I guess as a mum.
00:32:52.845 --> 00:32:53.805
I think it's a good thing.
00:32:55.204 --> 00:33:08.249
And it's good that it's young people that actually this is, you know, because I remember being in the car once with my two sons and I was dropping them off somewhere and none of them were talking.
00:33:08.789 --> 00:33:09.789
And do you know what they were doing?
00:33:09.809 --> 00:33:11.150
They were texting in the car.
00:33:12.550 --> 00:33:35.491
No! this was years ago when they were young young in each other rather than actually talking and this was something that came up from my son he's very you know he says he's got to learn the art of conversation again oh people because he sees it with friends he says they've all forgotten they've forgotten how to hold a proper conversation Absolutely.
00:33:35.731 --> 00:33:36.251
Absolutely.
00:33:36.271 --> 00:33:43.519
I mean, you see it in restaurants, in pubs where literally people, I mean, again, we're all guilty of it sometimes for crying out loud.
00:33:43.558 --> 00:33:47.363
But, you know, there are some people who literally don't exchange a conversation.
00:33:47.403 --> 00:33:49.365
They're just scrolling on their phones.
00:33:49.404 --> 00:33:51.856
It's A bit heartbreaking, I find.
00:33:55.219 --> 00:33:57.919
It is heartbreaking, yeah, absolutely.
00:33:57.939 --> 00:33:59.259
Yeah, it's worrying.
00:33:59.299 --> 00:34:01.299
Yeah, my dad gets up and tells them.
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.781
If he sees people, he says, have a conversation, put the phones down.
00:34:05.842 --> 00:34:11.043
Brilliant, fair play to him, because we're all saying it in our own heads or whispering it to somebody with us.
00:34:11.262 --> 00:34:12.264
I love the fact he actually says it.
00:34:12.284 --> 00:34:12.463
Yeah, yeah.
00:34:12.483 --> 00:34:12.704
Good.
00:34:12.744 --> 00:34:18.266
That's a generation thing that I think we should take on board.
00:34:20.331 --> 00:34:23.711
Louisa Marie, what's been happening with your clients?
00:34:23.731 --> 00:34:29.474
Because you are a very busy lady on our phone lines and, of course, with your own business as well.
00:34:29.893 --> 00:34:36.036
But what has been on people's mind if we are generalising, especially when it comes to imagination, intuition?
00:34:36.356 --> 00:34:38.317
What are people struggling with at the moment?
00:34:38.336 --> 00:34:40.757
OK, great question, Charlotte.
00:34:40.858 --> 00:34:41.677
It does vary.
00:34:41.757 --> 00:34:47.039
I think a lot of what I'm finding is a lot of relationships are struggling.
00:34:47.664 --> 00:34:53.927
I mean, I know relationships can be difficult generally because they bring up a lot within us, don't they?
00:34:54.027 --> 00:34:57.407
And they let us look at things that are going on with ourselves.
00:34:57.847 --> 00:35:00.989
We reflect a lot to each other in relationships.
00:35:01.710 --> 00:35:13.755
However, what I'm finding is, and this is generalised, not just on the phone lines, this is generalised in what I'm seeing in the world, is a lot of relationships are either stronger or they're completely...
00:35:14.936 --> 00:35:21.762
People are getting to a point now where I think they are looking for something deeper.
00:35:22.463 --> 00:35:30.271
And if it's not there in that relationship, then they have a problem with that partner, then it very naturally kind of falls away.
00:35:30.351 --> 00:35:41.503
So it's about learning to grow together and working through a lot of the problems that do present themselves and not just being in that society.
00:35:41.583 --> 00:35:55.449
But I do feel that what people are looking at at the moment is relationship problems, whether it's friendships, not just romantic ones, friendships as well, division in families.
00:35:56.250 --> 00:35:56.909
Yes.
00:35:57.329 --> 00:36:01.851
Families disagreeing or they're just not getting on.
00:36:02.130 --> 00:36:05.032
And I think there's a lot of stress in the world, isn't there, currently?
00:36:05.052 --> 00:36:05.972
Oh, absolutely.
00:36:07.032 --> 00:36:07.632
Going through...
00:36:07.873 --> 00:36:11.012
There's a big change happening in our humanity, really.
00:36:11.032 --> 00:36:12.893
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:12.914 --> 00:36:16.393
A lot of people trying to adjust to that, and I think it's quite difficult, quite challenging.
00:36:16.914 --> 00:36:19.775
And there's pressure on our relationships as well.
00:36:20.255 --> 00:36:21.635
Definitely, definitely.
00:36:21.655 --> 00:36:23.295
It's funny as well, again, I think...
00:36:25.061 --> 00:36:35.411
The thought of being on our own for a lot of people is incredibly scary, especially if we've been one of these people that's been in relationships since we were young and we've never had a time to be on our own.
00:36:35.451 --> 00:36:45.782
But actually, don't get me wrong, I'm very happily married now, but I remember when I was single before I met somebody, that time just being on my own, I think really...
00:36:46.422 --> 00:36:54.027
And and not dealing with it very well at the beginning, but, you know, actually finding out who I am on my own.
00:36:54.067 --> 00:37:00.831
And is it a bit controversial, Louisa Marie, to say, you know, that need for somebody else wasn't there.
00:37:00.911 --> 00:37:04.873
I had a want for somebody else, but I didn't need that person.
00:37:05.293 --> 00:37:08.355
Yeah, I think that's a wonderful way to put it, Charlotte, to be honest.
00:37:08.394 --> 00:37:09.155
And and.
00:37:10.697 --> 00:37:22.067
It's a very good point you've brought up there because nothing external, and I say this to people that I work with, nothing external really can bring us true happiness.
00:37:22.126 --> 00:37:24.027
Everything comes from within us.
00:37:24.108 --> 00:37:24.548
Everything.
00:37:25.728 --> 00:37:26.769
Find that inner peace.
00:37:27.110 --> 00:37:32.894
And then what happens is when we find that inner peace, we reflect a nice vibration outwards.
00:37:33.510 --> 00:37:36.931
And we attract the right partner to us if that's what we want.
00:37:37.311 --> 00:37:42.353
But being, a lot of people that I talk to as well are going through a big transformation in their lives at the moment.
00:37:42.952 --> 00:37:44.893
And that transformation requires solitude.
00:37:45.432 --> 00:37:48.614
It requires us not to be in a relationship.
00:37:49.094 --> 00:37:59.715
And it requires us to be, you know, a little bit with, it's nothing wrong with withdrawing your energy from society for a little while while you're going through some changes in your life.
00:37:59.755 --> 00:38:03.036
So you can integrate those changes in for yourself.
00:38:04.110 --> 00:38:07.472
So I think it's a very natural part of being human.
00:38:08.253 --> 00:38:09.514
Yeah.
00:38:09.554 --> 00:38:11.655
Sometimes we need to just take ourselves.
00:38:12.074 --> 00:38:13.275
I sometimes mean I live alone.
00:38:13.315 --> 00:38:14.195
It's lovely for me.
00:38:14.275 --> 00:38:16.677
I don't have all that.
00:38:17.358 --> 00:38:18.217
I like it.
00:38:18.277 --> 00:38:19.179
That suits me.
00:38:19.318 --> 00:38:26.021
You know, now I still sometimes take myself off to Tintagel, which is an hour down the road.
00:38:26.061 --> 00:38:29.184
OK, I go and just kind of be with me.
00:38:30.070 --> 00:38:58.983
oh and get by the sea and tune into the element of water and just have that time to reflect on my life where I'm at I think we all need that you know it's so important definitely definitely a bit of a balance as well I think when you are a parent or you've got responsibilities you know you battle with oh what am I being selfish you know that's my time but actually it's kind of key to like like you said earlier you know that blank canvas we have to make sure that we're okay to make sure everybody else is Yeah, yeah.
00:38:59.003 --> 00:39:01.306
So important, Charlotte.
00:39:01.425 --> 00:39:01.865
It really is.
00:39:02.567 --> 00:39:02.847
It is.
00:39:02.927 --> 00:39:05.329
Oh, well, Louise and Maria, I can't believe the time.
00:39:05.750 --> 00:39:09.193
That's nearly all the time we've got on this podcast.
00:39:09.233 --> 00:39:11.494
Have you done a podcast with Ask the Answer before, lovely?
00:39:11.934 --> 00:39:12.275
I haven't.
00:39:12.295 --> 00:39:13.275
It's my first one with you.
00:39:13.295 --> 00:39:14.197
Oh, nice.
00:39:15.217 --> 00:39:17.599
You didn't see Adele before because she was doing the...
00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:48.110
the podcast before um i think it got cancelled for some other reason oh well i'm glad that i got the pleasure of interviewing you and speaking to you it's been lovely to connect with you again and it's flown by where is that half an hour it's gone so quickly isn't it so quickly would you be up doing another one oh definitely absolutely maybe another like a obviously you know what you're talking about and you can um organize it but maybe a bit of a longer meditation because i really enjoyed that Yeah, I'm happy to do that.
00:39:48.130 --> 00:39:51.052
I've got lots of channel my meditation.
00:39:51.112 --> 00:39:57.373
So perhaps I could take one, take the viewers through into a nice channeled meditation and they can miss those deeper levels a little bit.
00:39:57.393 --> 00:39:58.114
I'd love that.
00:39:58.695 --> 00:39:59.335
I'd love that.
00:39:59.474 --> 00:40:00.875

Thank you for taking the time to connect with us today.
00:40:11.168 --> 00:40:22.257
And I'd just like to say, use this information if you feel to, in your own life this week, so that you can tune in to your own intuition, practice it and see how it works.
00:40:22.277 --> 00:40:27.603
And the more you tune into it, the more it will become stronger and clearer for you as well.
00:40:28.733 --> 00:40:29.313
Amazing.
