00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:09,580 [Speaker 0]
[instrumental music plays] Welcome back to the Indigenous Wisdom Podcast. Mírale, yo soy Julia Carmen.
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:34,620 [Speaker 0]
Juliana and I are back with another J&J. Uh, that's what we call it, uh, these Julia and Juliana, or Juliana or Julia, whichever order you like. Mm-hmm, no problem. It's all good. This one actually started as a question Juliana asked me after our last conversation,
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,000 [Speaker 0]
mírale, the one on the overculture,
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:43,100 [Speaker 0]
when I mentioned going back to your casita. Mm-hmm.
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:46,900 [Speaker 0]
So today, we sit with the word,
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,300 [Speaker 0]
what a casita actually is.
00:00:53,780 --> 00:00:55,080 [Speaker 0]
Not just a house,
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,840 [Speaker 0]
but the place within you connected to your soul self of being,
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,600 [Speaker 0]
what I've called
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,980 [Speaker 0]
your little blue light since Juliana was too small for kindergarten.
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,540 [Speaker 0]
We talked about what happens when it gets crowded with someone else's stuff. You know how the house gets
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:26,520 [Speaker 0]
crowded with stuff that's not our stuff, you know? Who gets to walk through the door,
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:32,180 [Speaker 0]
and how you find your way back when it's gone dark.
00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:41,520 [Speaker 0]
I can't wait to share this conversation with you all. So mírale, let's begin.
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:50,240 [Speaker 0]
We have another J&J, which means Julia and Juliana, or Juliana and Julia.
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:58,580 [Speaker 1]
In the last episode that we did, we were talking about just the overculture and then having to go back towards your
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,100 [Speaker 1]
casita. So I've heard of this before, but I'm trying to see, like,
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:13,300 [Speaker 1]
maybe revisiting that conversation about, like, what is a casita and how... and what it means to go back to that casita within.
00:02:14,460 --> 00:03:04,540 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm, yeah. So la casita within, which I find, like, I thought, "Oh, I'm sure you've heard that phrase, uh, coming back home to yourself," right? Yeah? And even then in the English wording, vernacular, it is, it's like, what is home, right? So Spanish is my first language, so ay, mi, mi, mi bonita casita, qué bonita. You know, like within myself to coming back home to my little casita. So it's, it's a place that is within myself, and again, within myself or within each, each individual person. And then I think one of your questions was, I think, was, "What does it mean within?" I, I'm not... You know, [laughs] what does that mean? Is it, is it like...
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:20,180 [Speaker 0]
is it my soul self of being, or is it a room inside it, or, um... And, you know, "Where did all this stuff come from? How did you make that up?" And I'm like, "I don't know." [laughs]
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:20,400 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:31,440 [Speaker 0]
So, so I had to think about it. [laughs] I really did. Yeah, yeah. So give us some more, you know, like... I mean, yeah, where did it come from? And, you know, of course, definitely we're gonna revisit it.
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:41,260 [Speaker 0]
So when you asked a question, I'd like to ask a question of the question, and is the casita the same as the soul self of being?
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:53,560 [Speaker 0]
Uh, you know, maybe share with us, you know, to you, what those two mean to you, and that it might give me... Before I do that, oh, I forgot to share this with folks, and,
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,740 [Speaker 0]
and that is you may hear birds
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,720 [Speaker 0]
out my window. [dog barking] You may hear my dog, Nava, barking as he is right now
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:06,600 [Speaker 0]
at whoever goes by, or the mailman or whatevers.
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:23,380 [Speaker 0]
Or you may hear a plane go by where Juliana lives, because she lives close to that. [dog barking] So we try and do our best to take out the noise, but sometimes it's not possible. So okay, Juliana, go for it.
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,800 [Speaker 1]
When I was thinking about this for myself and, like, what a casita is, um,
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:39,140 [Speaker 1]
in a lot what I'm thinking back is, is to that movie, like, Encanto, and kind of just the casita that they had and how
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:58,560 [Speaker 1]
I think that was one of the best ways to describe a casita and, like, it being alive and being able to, like, hold everybody's stuff. Um, but I imagine that's, like, a casita inside of us, so maybe that will give people some sort of visualization of having it within,
00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:13,820 [Speaker 1]
um, because obviously we have our own casitas, like, in our... We all have our own houses where we go and where we be. But then in my understanding of this verbiage and this use of casita, it's being able to go back to
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:15,540 [Speaker 1]
us.
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:29,220 [Speaker 1]
And I think of that more as maybe a human experience and kind of, like, those experiences that we've had. And then I... This is my take. And then the soul self of being is, like, the connections from
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:38,800 [Speaker 1]
this planet and this universe and the people around us and those experiences and those feelings and the truths that exist
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:46,700 [Speaker 1]
being connected to that. So I think of those slightly separate. They're not completely, like, two different things, but then
00:05:49,040 --> 00:06:02,200 [Speaker 1]
I'm taking just what I'm understanding of casita that, like, not everyone can tell us what our casita is and what it looks like. Um, I think that's really maybe up to us. But, like, I could be wrong about that as well.
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,116 [Speaker 0]
Oh, no, that sounds great. I, I... Okay, I-
00:06:08,116 --> 00:06:10,776 [Speaker 0]
Uh, quote, unquote, "I taught you well." [laughs]
00:06:10,776 --> 00:06:11,496 [Speaker 1]
[laughs] Okay.
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:12,356 [Speaker 0]
[laughs] The, the-
00:06:12,376 --> 00:06:14,796 [Speaker 1]
Maybe I have heard it more than I thought. [laughs]
00:06:14,856 --> 00:06:26,336 [Speaker 0]
No, no. I mean, that was, that was what I was hoping you would hear. And then the movie, definitely, definitely, that is a really good, uh, perfect
00:06:27,736 --> 00:06:45,556 [Speaker 0]
image that us humans, 'cause we're in a human being, if you're listening to this in the human form or the hu-woman form, definitely is... If I remember that movie, there were so many rooms and so many this and so many that, that it-
00:06:45,676 --> 00:06:45,696 [Speaker 1]
Yeah
00:06:45,696 --> 00:06:55,136 [Speaker 0]
... it, it was like a maze of it, and then it just went poof, and then it became poof, and then it became that, depending on everybody's soul self of being.
00:06:56,036 --> 00:06:56,156 [Speaker 1]
Hmm.
00:06:56,196 --> 00:07:22,656 [Speaker 0]
Yeah? So you had an angry... Which I, I heard some kind of negative stuff about, I guess it was the grandmother or the mother, whoever it was that was kind of ornery, and they were saying, "Blah, blah, blah." And I looked at that as that, that matriarch was the one holding the pain and the suffering. And then what was her granddaughter, um... Right? Was it her granddaughter or her daughter? It's been a while since I seen the movie.
00:07:23,096 --> 00:07:24,036 [Speaker 1]
Yeah, it's her granddaughter.
00:07:24,816 --> 00:07:27,276 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. And her granddaughter's like, "What?"
00:07:27,276 --> 00:07:28,456 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:07:28,456 --> 00:07:31,896 [Speaker 0]
"I love you, but, uh, excuse me."
00:07:31,896 --> 00:07:32,436 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:07:32,436 --> 00:07:42,796 [Speaker 0]
"I ain't buying that." [laughs] Right? "I ain't buying that sh- that stuff. Come on, Grandma. I know you have... I know this is out of love." And then what happened, right, Mia?
00:07:42,876 --> 00:08:02,296 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. It, it, like, tears... They tore down the casita because they finally, like, connected on understanding, like, this is about the family and not two separate realities. And, and then rebuilding... I mean, the casita came back, but that's kind of what I think is exactly what we're talking about, and that, like,
00:08:04,196 --> 00:08:15,316 [Speaker 1]
we... I think of the casita maybe like, ooh, getting scary or dark, and, like, things can happen to it. And that's just exactly how it was. It's just like it kind of followed what people were doing and how they were,
00:08:16,436 --> 00:08:21,936 [Speaker 1]
and then it reacted to that. And yeah, so exactly what you were saying.
00:08:22,656 --> 00:08:42,136 [Speaker 0]
Yeah, 'cause the ca- uh, casita can represent, uh, a physical, uh, but all at the same time represent the soul self of being, which is what we, you know, like, connected to 24/7, right? So part that you just shared, the bi- the first part, is the human condition.
00:08:43,256 --> 00:09:15,596 [Speaker 0]
So if you remember the grandmother, her experience was, "This is what happened to my family that I love so much, that I will protect, that I will even be a mean bitch." I don't use, like, the word bitch, but I, I, I don't like that re- ter- re- uh, that, that word is not my... I u- I don't use that word, [laughs] but in the overculture, that is used a lot as a very derogatory thing, yeah, to male and female. Um, and so she was willing to be the ugly in order to save her family.
00:09:17,076 --> 00:09:47,596 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. So that's the human, the hu-woman, um, you know, like what we think, the human thing of the thinking of what's happened to a family. Yeah. And usually the person that's trying to protect it the most looks like the person that's the no bueno person. Yeah. But again, the new generation, the, the, the granddaughter comes in and said, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no." Yeah. So the house, you know, walking into it, right?
00:09:50,116 --> 00:10:17,236 [Speaker 0]
That's what happens when the house is neglected, right? And everybody just keeps doing the habitual stuff over and over and over again. Yeah. And that's what happened in that movie. It's kind of like, "Okay, let's do this. We're doing this because this is what happened. We're doing this because this is what could happen." So is, Grandma was not living in the presence, not because she was mean and hateful and rude. It's because... Or a B, but because
00:10:18,316 --> 00:10:36,536 [Speaker 0]
she loved her family. Yeah. And, and, and the granddaughter loved her grandmother so much that she almost went there. She almost took that lineage to a certain place, if I remember the m- movie right. Instead, the grandmother could hear her, even though it got ugly there, right? So,
00:10:38,116 --> 00:10:46,976 [Speaker 0]
so what happens when the casita's neglected, abandoned, locked up, or overrun with other people's stuff? I like that.
00:10:47,576 --> 00:10:50,556 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Uh, kind of thinking a little bit about
00:10:52,376 --> 00:10:54,916 [Speaker 1]
it feeling like that, right? I'm sure it can kind of, like,
00:10:57,956 --> 00:10:59,516 [Speaker 1]
manifest or, like, emulate in,
00:11:00,776 --> 00:11:05,956 [Speaker 1]
in the physical, right, in the human form, where I know when I have
00:11:07,756 --> 00:11:14,276 [Speaker 1]
myself going through those motions, I just feel like I'm just moving through the motions and trying to just get through day to day. Um,
00:11:15,296 --> 00:11:16,916 [Speaker 1]
I can struggle to see, like,
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:35,836 [Speaker 1]
the needs and the cares that I need to take care, like, need to do in my house. So I can imagine, like, the same things happening within our own casitas. It's like it just starts getting, like, more cluttered and messy, and just things start to kind of just pile up. But because you're just moving through those motions,
00:11:37,156 --> 00:11:38,296 [Speaker 1]
for not other people to see it-
00:11:38,896 --> 00:11:39,236 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:11:39,236 --> 00:11:47,656 [Speaker 1]
... um, or because you're focused on going somewhere else. And then when it's, like, stepping back into that present, it's like, "Oh,
00:11:48,916 --> 00:11:58,796 [Speaker 1]
this needs some, like, care and, and some tending to." So that's what I imagine. Like, it's also happening within us, that, like, these little things that
00:12:00,196 --> 00:12:15,276 [Speaker 1]
are building up, like you mentioned, being neglected or locked up or broken or holding other people's stuff, which is, I think, is also a very good thing we should talk about too. And, like, what do you do with that? Yeah.
00:12:15,984 --> 00:12:39,364 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. Exactly. I, uh, one of the, uh, archetypes is the sensitives. Yeah. Um, and in that, in the sensitives, it's them picking up... that archetype's picking up other people's, uh, stardust. Yeah. And so what, what do you do, Juliana? What is... I'm asking a question, not just personal, but...
00:12:40,424 --> 00:12:51,284 [Speaker 0]
Yeah, well, as far as the sensitive, they, they must be balanced and grounded. That's the number one thing in order to be in this world if, if that's what a person leads with. Yeah.
00:12:53,244 --> 00:13:01,044 [Speaker 0]
So do you have any, um, thoughts on that, when you pick up other people's stuff, their stardust?
00:13:03,564 --> 00:13:03,844 [Speaker 0]
Hmm.
00:13:05,924 --> 00:13:11,024 [Speaker 1]
Yeah, I can see if I can [chuckles] explain it, 'cause I think I have an idea,
00:13:12,104 --> 00:13:31,624 [Speaker 1]
and maybe... 'Cause I'm trying to been figure that out for myself too, because as someone that is... I'm aware that I'm, like, a sensitive and, like, one of the archetypes that is, and how easily it is for me to pick up stardust and other people's stardust. And
00:13:32,764 --> 00:13:33,944 [Speaker 1]
I was reflecting on how...
00:13:35,884 --> 00:13:39,644 [Speaker 1]
Well, how does that look like if I'm taking that or if it does kind of
00:13:40,744 --> 00:13:43,284 [Speaker 1]
fall onto me, right? And
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:54,704 [Speaker 1]
on top of my own stardust or the other things I make, gather. So in connecting that to the casita, it would probably be that, like,
00:13:57,144 --> 00:14:00,924 [Speaker 1]
where I think that maybe that clutter and that sense of, like,
00:14:02,484 --> 00:14:13,104 [Speaker 1]
overrunning your casita, maybe just feeling kind of overwhelmed or, like, or I don't wanna be here, or [sniffs] trying to fi- like, maybe that's where things can get,
00:14:14,344 --> 00:14:14,624 [Speaker 1]
um,
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:25,284 [Speaker 1]
where you maybe want to abandon or leave your casita, because it has so much of somebody else's stuff that it doesn't feel like yours. So...
00:14:26,343 --> 00:14:30,544 [Speaker 1]
And I think I can really empathize with that. And then maybe it happens in, like, a way of, like,
00:14:32,004 --> 00:14:44,504 [Speaker 1]
we've been having conversations about, like, grief and pain and just kind of things that can be really challenging and wanting to step away from that. And then also maybe, like, sometimes it could be good things of, like,
00:14:46,104 --> 00:15:04,284 [Speaker 1]
enjoying a new part of life and going into a new chapter, and it can be like, [smacks lips] "Am I ready for that yet?" Or, like, thinking to the future. And maybe that's not... It's starting to be your life, but then it's not there just yet, 'cause I know that can be stardust too, where you're thinking about, like...
00:15:05,464 --> 00:15:08,884 [Speaker 1]
Um, the way I'm thinking about it is like, "Oh, what if I wanted to
00:15:10,484 --> 00:15:15,864 [Speaker 1]
move across the country?" And then you're thinking about that, and it starts building a little casita, and then,
00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:22,784 [Speaker 1]
right, things can happen. I was watching a show, like, that was talking about, like, how this happens, so it's just like
00:15:23,844 --> 00:15:27,664 [Speaker 1]
they were moving... It was a show on Netflix called The Four Seasons.
00:15:28,444 --> 00:15:29,224 [Speaker 0]
Uh-huh. Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:15:29,224 --> 00:15:32,644 [Speaker 1]
And it was like, they were talking about moving to Italy, right?
00:15:32,884 --> 00:15:33,344 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:15:34,504 --> 00:15:44,884 [Speaker 1]
And then they were there and had their lives together, and it was a couple. And then they went back to the US because the mom had got sick, right? And they decided, "Well, maybe we need to just
00:15:46,324 --> 00:15:54,204 [Speaker 1]
move back in with mom and take care of her." So I feel like that kind of happened, just like you kind of have one physical, but then also one
00:15:55,944 --> 00:16:07,004 [Speaker 1]
inside you, right? So the physical casita they had, but then also one of, like, this is where I live. But then this is like, okay, now we have to leave that one and go back to this other casita
00:16:08,964 --> 00:16:20,264 [Speaker 1]
to take care of the situation. [smacks lips] Which to me, it's like, I'm sure there's so much more than one, which is kind of answering my own question that I had when thinking about this casita, was like,
00:16:21,644 --> 00:16:33,783 [Speaker 1]
how many do we have and, like, where do they come from? So now that's, like, putting it all together that maybe it happens a lot more than we think, or maybe not. Maybe sometimes we just... it depends on those situations.
00:16:34,804 --> 00:17:14,564 [Speaker 0]
I love that, because you're talking about a physical casita, so they're, you know, like Italy or, or whatever. Yeah, you have a plan to go somewhere, and then you find it. You find that place that you wanna be, right? So that's the physical part. Pero la casita that I'm talking about is the one that's with you and within you, that's connected to your soul self. So I love these questions. So your casita is... you could call that many things, and I used to call it your flac- flux capacitor from Back to the Future. [laughs] When you were a little girl, I don't know if you remember, I used to call it the little blue light in your heart. Yeah?
00:17:14,564 --> 00:17:14,624 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:17:14,624 --> 00:17:15,704 [Speaker 0]
That's your casita.
00:17:16,224 --> 00:17:16,244 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:17:16,244 --> 00:18:07,284 [Speaker 0]
But that's actually what it is. It's this beautiful point of light that is within you. So whether you live in Italy, Hawaii, Montana, the Bay Area, New York, you take your little casita with you everywhere you go. So it's from the inside out. So the question that you asked, where is the casita? And you named it. Like, we get... I don't know if it was so much we get attached, but there's certain places we feel the most comfortable. I feel the most comfortable in California, and people could have a whole lot of thinking about California, right? Yes, I was born and raised here, but I loved Hawaii big time, and I fell in love with Montana. Yeah? Right? And I know places like Sarah, who did the dragonfly cards, she was born... Yeah, and listen to that episode. She was born in Colorado, I think.
00:18:08,344 --> 00:18:20,444 [Speaker 0]
Now, check this out. She never even knew where Hawaii was. She didn't even know what Hawaii was. She used to go outside in the snow- Like, she was in Hawaii. [laughs]
00:18:20,444 --> 00:18:20,704 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:18:20,704 --> 00:18:39,404 [Speaker 0]
She used to do things only island people do. And then her sister moved to Hawaii, and she moved there, I don't know how many years ago, a while back. And when, as soon as she got off the plane, honest to goodness, she says, "I am home. What was Colorado all about? That is not my home." [laughs]
00:18:39,404 --> 00:18:39,704 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:18:39,704 --> 00:19:04,484 [Speaker 0]
She goes, "That was interesting. I guess I just had to be dropped off there by the stork," quote, unquote, "and then I find my home." And, and she says there's no other place. She just was home. Do you see what I'm saying? So it doesn't necessarily mean where you're born as soon as... I hear that often. Somebody says, "Oh, I'm from so-and-so, but I, after I got off the plane in New York, I knew that I needed to be here and stay here." Yeah?
00:19:04,764 --> 00:19:04,804 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm.
00:19:04,804 --> 00:19:20,024 [Speaker 0]
So that's your little casita giving you your little blue light. It was specifically just for you, mija, right? That says, "I'm home." It's your homing pigeon. It brings you back home to yourself, your casita. It's so personal. Nobody else can...
00:19:21,404 --> 00:20:41,444 [Speaker 0]
If you're blessed and blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed, and find a partner that has the same homing pigeon, the same flux capacitor [laughs], and they, and they vibrate the same, and then you be, and you kind of go, "Woo-hoo! Let's go," you can live anywhere. Anywhere. Yeah. Because you two will be able to figure it out. And I'm not saying doing it alone is not a blessing. Of course it's a blessing. And we weren't, uh, just planted on an island all by ourselves, so it's nice to have... When I say partner, it could be a good friend. It could be somebody, I don't know, a sibling or someone that you just, guys, we, folks just connect and say, "Let's do this together. Let's go on this adventure together." Um, so that's our little casita. Yeah. I'm glad you asked the question, because I actually did forget about your little blue light. It's in the background all the time running, right? So I'm gonna put you on the spot, Juliana, but how often have you relied on that little blue light through your whole life? Because I know I shared that with you when you were not even in school yet. So, um, you were going to kindergarten, I think, and you were afraid of the, the, the, the going. Yeah? [laughs]
00:20:41,444 --> 00:20:42,024 [Speaker 1]
[laughs] Yeah.
00:20:43,644 --> 00:20:43,644 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:20:43,664 --> 00:20:46,444 [Speaker 1]
Mm. That's a really great question.
00:20:48,124 --> 00:20:49,044 [Speaker 1]
I like to think that
00:20:51,344 --> 00:20:53,884 [Speaker 1]
I feel I always have. I think I've always kind of,
00:20:55,584 --> 00:20:59,584 [Speaker 1]
for the most part, have followed that guidance of the blue light. Mm.
00:21:02,364 --> 00:21:05,444 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. There was some points I feel like when I was maybe, like,
00:21:06,764 --> 00:21:10,664 [Speaker 1]
in high school and maybe struggled to kind of hear that and kind of follow that.
00:21:11,304 --> 00:21:11,344 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:21:11,344 --> 00:21:13,144 [Speaker 1]
But I think overall, pretty much
00:21:14,904 --> 00:21:25,684 [Speaker 1]
one way or another, I connect back to that, or it reminds me of, like, okay, something needs to change or something I need to do. Um,
00:21:26,704 --> 00:21:30,104 [Speaker 1]
so I might not always get it, like, in the moment, but sometimes-
00:21:30,264 --> 00:21:30,764 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:21:30,764 --> 00:21:34,204 [Speaker 1]
... it will slowly come to me, and then I decide from there what to do.
00:21:36,124 --> 00:21:37,924 [Speaker 1]
Mm. And that's really what I think
00:21:39,084 --> 00:21:40,604 [Speaker 1]
as I think about it
00:21:41,644 --> 00:21:43,004 [Speaker 1]
these many years later. [laughs]
00:21:43,004 --> 00:21:45,344 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:21:45,384 --> 00:21:46,384 [Speaker 1]
But it's really just that
00:21:47,724 --> 00:21:50,704 [Speaker 1]
piece of yourself, right, your human self, and then also
00:21:53,724 --> 00:22:00,384 [Speaker 1]
your soul self talking to you and saying, "This is what you need," or, "This is what you have to do." Um,
00:22:03,464 --> 00:22:05,064 [Speaker 1]
yeah. But it's very different-
00:22:05,104 --> 00:22:05,104 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:22:05,104 --> 00:22:07,244 [Speaker 1]
... I think, for every person to understand-
00:22:07,284 --> 00:22:07,344 [Speaker 0]
Yes
00:22:07,344 --> 00:22:07,924 [Speaker 1]
... and feel.
00:22:08,784 --> 00:22:08,944 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:22:09,004 --> 00:22:13,824 [Speaker 1]
Um, just so people under- you know, know that, like, what I experience is not everybody else's experience.
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:14,844 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:22:14,924 --> 00:22:17,284 [Speaker 1]
Um, and that also I have, you know,
00:22:18,444 --> 00:22:23,024 [Speaker 1]
my grandmother's guidance, which I've had since, since the beginning. [laughs]
00:22:23,024 --> 00:22:24,924 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:28,004 [Speaker 1]
Um, but yeah. I, I think that's what it is for me. And
00:22:29,744 --> 00:22:35,324 [Speaker 1]
as I get older, right, those things become easier in the human experience. Um, I think in-
00:22:35,344 --> 00:22:35,504 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:22:35,504 --> 00:22:48,964 [Speaker 1]
... my soul self of being, I'm pretty quick. I, I understand it. My peeps get it. But then sometimes my human self can be a little... I'm a, I can be a very indecisive person. So sometimes I'm like, "Mm, are you sure about that?" [laughs]
00:22:48,964 --> 00:22:49,544 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:22:49,564 --> 00:23:18,244 [Speaker 1]
So that is where I think the human experience can get in there and say, like, you know, you can question yourself. Um, but yeah. And just kind of maybe to our audience of people that are listening, to just that blue light, right, and your, your little flux capacitor or your telling you, like, I hope you know that, like, the, it will never be wrong, all right? Sometimes you may feel like, "Is this right? Is this what needs to happen?" Because I'm someone that does that.
00:23:18,844 --> 00:23:19,184 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. [laughs]
00:23:19,184 --> 00:23:23,964 [Speaker 1]
Um, that's why I'm in both worlds at the same time. [laughs] Um, but it will never be wrong.
00:23:24,084 --> 00:23:26,984 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Thank you for that, because
00:23:28,524 --> 00:24:09,564 [Speaker 0]
[sighs] sometimes, you know, like, it feels like we... I don't know. There are times that, you know, our human conditioning, our human thoughts of being... I'm not talking about our soul divine thoughts, which is, is, is different, because it comes from the universal source of the all, the truth of that which is. And then we have this human thing where it seems to be that we feel we're away from our casita, you know? Like, we lost something. Yeah. And, and we can't lose our casita. [laughs] It's just impossible to lose it. Just like what you said, Juliana. You know, you said you had a rough spot there in, when you were in high school.
00:24:09,644 --> 00:24:09,644 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:24:09,644 --> 00:24:27,232 [Speaker 0]
And that's not too long ago, but it is long ago considering your age. You know, you may think you're super old, but, you know, you kind of look at 10... You know, that was, like, about 10 years ago, right? Yeah, nine years ago, something like that. And that is a long time.
00:24:27,232 --> 00:24:27,592 [Speaker 0]
And
00:24:30,092 --> 00:24:34,172 [Speaker 0]
what was it that brought you back home to your casita? Meaning, like,
00:24:35,492 --> 00:24:41,852 [Speaker 0]
uh, you know, like, oh, you knew it was there. I know you knew it was there 'cause I was there when it, you, you were going and struggling. But
00:24:42,972 --> 00:25:05,092 [Speaker 0]
how did you come back to yourself? How did you come back to that beautiful blue light within you? Because you could have said, "Eh, I don't..." I know in our brains we go, "Eh, there's no blue light. There's no flux capacitor." You know? "Oh, there's a sinus, but how is that sinus connected to anything? You know, I'm feeling like shit right now." Anyways, [laughs] you know, um, how'd you come back home to your casita?
00:25:08,252 --> 00:25:10,592 [Speaker 1]
I feel like a heavy one, but it's good. Um,
00:25:12,792 --> 00:25:21,992 [Speaker 1]
yeah, I think after all that, it was a struggle. And I feel like it kinda... 'Cause high school felt kinda dark, like a lot of my casita was-
00:25:22,052 --> 00:25:22,712 [Speaker 0]
Like the movie
00:25:22,712 --> 00:25:35,072 [Speaker 1]
... dark. Um, and it felt kinda like that and... [laughs] Yeah, it was like kind of like a cloudy storm, and it just kinda feels like it was hanging over me. Um,
00:25:38,512 --> 00:25:41,212 [Speaker 1]
I think kinda where I started to feel like
00:25:42,492 --> 00:25:52,492 [Speaker 1]
a shift maybe was kind of questioning myself and kind of what I wanted. Um, and that kinda ranged from a lot of things 'cause I was, like,
00:25:53,572 --> 00:25:54,692 [Speaker 1]
still quite young and, like,
00:25:55,812 --> 00:26:08,652 [Speaker 1]
going to college, but I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I kinda feel like exactly what I was talking about earlier, like a lot of going through the motions, not having very, like, a neutral position, right? Not feeling, like,
00:26:09,912 --> 00:26:34,692 [Speaker 1]
positive and feeling good about life, but not feeling, like, really down in the dumps or in, like, wa- wanting to do anything. It just was very, like, I just need to do this to get wherever I need to go. Um, and then when I started kinda questioning or having people kinda question, like, "What are you gonna do?" Or, like, "What do you wanna do?" And then I think that's when I really started to be like, "Well, what do I wanna do?" Like, "How do I figure that out?" Um,
00:26:36,012 --> 00:26:39,792 [Speaker 1]
or, "How do I want my future to look like?" 'Cause I don't think I really thought about it,
00:26:42,392 --> 00:26:45,852 [Speaker 1]
um, since maybe I was younger. Um,
00:26:47,092 --> 00:26:52,672 [Speaker 1]
and I think that's what it was. It was just like, "Huh, I didn't really think about, like, having a career or a family or
00:26:54,532 --> 00:26:57,932 [Speaker 1]
what I wanted beyond, like, school." And I think school-
00:26:58,132 --> 00:26:58,152 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:26:58,152 --> 00:27:03,012 [Speaker 1]
... you know, what you're, you're told what to do for so many parts of your life. And I think that's kinda where,
00:27:04,372 --> 00:27:38,132 [Speaker 1]
for me, that was like, "Oh, I guess I can make my own decisions about this." So then I think I started to look more towards myself. Um, and that was definitely some trial and error being young and, like, trying to figure out, like, my tribe and people to be with, and then working out with, like, different jobs and seeing like, "Oh, I don't really like this, but I really like this." Um, and all right, that led me to teaching. And then finding friends that I really love and trust now and that I really stick with and that know me rather than people that I would, like, mask myself for. Um-
00:27:39,052 --> 00:27:39,112 [Speaker 0]
Mm
00:27:39,112 --> 00:28:15,652 [Speaker 1]
... finding my now husband that, like, literally I would never think I would have a husband, but someone that fully sees me and knows the work that I do. And, like, what my Gigi and my grandma was talking about, like, with when you find someone that aligns so beautifully with, like, what you picture in your life and you can go anywhere with that, it's like that's more, you know, more than anything that I could ever ask for. So as I kinda look back, right, almost, like, 10 years, like, the timeline of my life, it's like, "Oh, I really was listening to that blue light." And, like, it led me to this beautiful life that I have right now. [laughs] And-
00:28:15,712 --> 00:28:16,852 [Speaker 0]
Right
00:28:16,852 --> 00:28:23,812 [Speaker 1]
... I was having this moment of self-reflection 'cause, you know, we were talking about this casita thing recently, and I was like, "Wow."
00:28:24,952 --> 00:28:51,892 [Speaker 1]
I felt, like, a little bit of guilt, right? 'Cause a lot of things that had happened recently and my personal stuff, like, in my life, and I was like, "I feel so bad about, like, focusing on my life and building my career and, like, building everything." And then I kinda just sat down and was like, "No, because this is what my family allowed me to build." It, it allowed me to become this person. And if it wasn't for them, then, like,
00:28:53,652 --> 00:28:58,392 [Speaker 1]
I don't think I would've had those opportunities, and I don't regret the opportunities that I did. Um,
00:29:01,312 --> 00:29:04,692 [Speaker 1]
so it may be a little long-winded for me to talk about [laughs] all this-
00:29:04,752 --> 00:29:04,752 [Speaker 0]
No
00:29:04,752 --> 00:29:06,092 [Speaker 1]
... but it was just kind of like-
00:29:07,092 --> 00:29:07,672 [Speaker 0]
No, it's good
00:29:07,672 --> 00:29:23,772 [Speaker 1]
... really how much, yeah, that, that blue light really has been there. And it's just, it doesn't go away, right? It doesn't just, like, disappear when you are going through a really challenging time. Um, it just may be a little bit quieter, and you just gotta be willing to, like,
00:29:25,172 --> 00:29:30,032 [Speaker 1]
ask the questions. Or that's for me, that's what I started with, was asking the right questions
00:29:31,772 --> 00:29:50,412 [Speaker 1]
and being able to go and, like, look at myself 'cause, like, it can be hard sometimes to be like, "What do I need?" Um, and it's hard to feel like, is that selfish? And it's like, no. It's, it's this is your journey, and this is yourself. It... And no one else is gonna do it for you. [laughs]
00:29:50,532 --> 00:30:53,892 [Speaker 0]
Exactly. No, that's great. That's beautiful, mija, because it's so true. You're a little blue light. And it is, it's this little beacon, right? And what you're talking about, what you're sharing is the soul listening. I go back to that every single time. That's about listening to the soul self of being. It's, it's actually on our, on the schoolwithoutwalls.net. I'm just saying, go there and, and, and listen to the soul listening. Look at, I think there's a PDF on it. If not, but listen to it because it really does share with you, there's these vibrations of being where it's so human to be busy-minded and, oh, definitely judging ourselves or going to school and paying attention to every word somebody says and thinking we're listening. But- It... When we internalize that, when we, when we look at ourselves and we go, "Okay, I'm gonna pay attention to every thought that goes through my head. No, no, don't do that." [laughs] Or, "I'm gonna, I'm gonna, like, every thought that goes through my head, I'm gonna, like, oh my God, judge it. Oh my gosh, no."
00:30:53,892 --> 00:30:54,232 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:30:54,252 --> 00:30:56,092 [Speaker 0]
You know? Or... [laughs]
00:30:56,092 --> 00:30:56,172 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:30:56,192 --> 00:31:20,412 [Speaker 0]
And then the busy mind comes in, like, "No, I gotta go do this and I gotta go do that." And, you know, all of a sudden we're, like, moving all over the place. And there's this beautiful soul listening at which is that which is true, that has its divine thought, divine heart, divine, you know, mind, all of those divineness that are just is pure. There is no human thought there.
00:31:21,072 --> 00:31:21,492 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:31:21,492 --> 00:31:59,692 [Speaker 0]
I was, uh, talking to someone this morning and, and she was talking about she gets this inspiration while she's doing some... She was cooking and she got this inspiration about doing some project. And I go, "Well, you go, girl." And she goes, "What is this?" Because you're, you're, maybe you're, maybe you're, like, cooking something that you cook all the time, so it gives your brain to relax, right? Yeah. You're not... Maybe it's you're not judging what you're cooking. Yeah. And this may sound really weird, but I've mentioned it before, I do sometimes my own... I mean, not my own, but I, when I scrubbing toilets when I can-
00:31:59,692 --> 00:32:00,492 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:32:00,492 --> 00:32:05,272 [Speaker 0]
... [laughs] 'cause I have a, uh, my back's kind of been fun- funky lately. But, you know, like, okay,
00:32:06,472 --> 00:32:16,952 [Speaker 0]
uh, it's a menial, menials, that's how you say that job, and I'm not thinking of anything, just, "Oh, let me get this toilet clean." And all of a sudden I come up with all these great ideas-
00:32:16,952 --> 00:32:17,472 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:32:17,472 --> 00:32:29,932 [Speaker 0]
... or, "Oh my gosh, I need to..." You know, like, things that I love to do. It's because the mind is just doing something that is non-whatever. So the soul self, the soul listening goes, "Hey, Julia."
00:32:31,912 --> 00:32:41,232 [Speaker 0]
Right? Yeah. And that, that's your blue light behind your ears that you're... It's talking to us 24/7, literally. But we have choice,
00:32:42,372 --> 00:32:45,232 [Speaker 0]
uh, whether we wanna listen to it or not. Yeah?
00:32:46,352 --> 00:32:51,832 [Speaker 0]
So I'm curious, and I'm gonna ask this for both of us, how... You know, like,
00:32:53,392 --> 00:33:10,052 [Speaker 0]
what does it actually look like day-to-day to care for our little casitas? Is it a practice, a posture, actually boundaries? And, a- and the next... I'm gonna ask a bunch of questions here. And who's allowed to visit your casita and who decides that? [snorts] [laughs]
00:33:10,052 --> 00:33:10,192 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:33:10,392 --> 00:33:12,032 [Speaker 0]
That was a good question. [laughs]
00:33:12,112 --> 00:33:14,612 [Speaker 1]
That's some good... Yeah. Who's allowed really well.
00:33:15,532 --> 00:33:15,732 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:33:17,172 --> 00:33:18,512 [Speaker 1]
Day-to-day, ooh.
00:33:20,472 --> 00:33:20,732 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:33:20,792 --> 00:33:22,172 [Speaker 1]
That's a... Hmm.
00:33:23,392 --> 00:33:26,552 [Speaker 1]
I think you already started a little bit of that conversation of day-to-day-
00:33:26,732 --> 00:33:26,752 [Speaker 0]
Uh-huh
00:33:26,752 --> 00:33:27,832 [Speaker 1]
... right? Just having-
00:33:29,612 --> 00:33:29,612 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:33:29,612 --> 00:33:31,572 [Speaker 1]
... the conversation with your casita,
00:33:32,632 --> 00:33:40,552 [Speaker 1]
um, and those, like, little mundane tasks. 'Cause for me it's definitely, like, what people say, right, your shower thoughts when you're, like, in-
00:33:40,612 --> 00:33:40,732 [Speaker 0]
Yes
00:33:40,732 --> 00:33:44,832 [Speaker 1]
... the shower. Um, laundry is another one for me sometimes. [laughs]
00:33:44,912 --> 00:33:45,292 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:33:45,312 --> 00:33:45,372 [Speaker 1]
Um-
00:33:45,392 --> 00:33:47,012 [Speaker 0]
Yeah, endless laundry. Mm-hmm.
00:33:47,052 --> 00:34:03,072 [Speaker 1]
Endless laundry. Um, taking a walk sometimes. I'll take a walk, not during it. Usually during it I'm like, "Ugh," like, just a lot of emotions. And then I leave and I'm like, "Oh, wow, I feel so much better." And then I have, like, all these, like, this flow s- I call it, like, the flow state. Um,
00:34:04,152 --> 00:34:08,132 [Speaker 1]
sometimes it can be simple. Like, I don't know. I, maybe this could be a little...
00:34:09,332 --> 00:34:10,652 [Speaker 1]
I don't know if it's off, but
00:34:12,832 --> 00:34:23,652 [Speaker 1]
it's... 'Cause I talk about a flow state and I feel like that's a very popular little, like, buzzword right now. And when I think of the flow state, sometimes it happens, like,
00:34:25,212 --> 00:34:32,232 [Speaker 1]
maybe this is to me in a way taking a day-to-day care of it, right, is, like, when I get in sync with
00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:37,452 [Speaker 1]
my husband or, like, one of my friends or family members and we just kinda go and, like,
00:34:38,652 --> 00:34:43,032 [Speaker 1]
we know what the other person's doing and it just feels like we're hearing each other's
00:34:44,472 --> 00:34:44,932 [Speaker 1]
thoughts.
00:34:45,952 --> 00:34:53,852 [Speaker 1]
Like, "Oh, you do this, do that. Let's go here. Let's go do this." And then it's like everything just aligns. You're like... Let's say we're doing,
00:34:55,311 --> 00:35:02,372 [Speaker 1]
cleaning the house. It's like, "Oh, go do this, go do that," without even saying anything to each other. We just know what, like, we maneuver and go around each other. Or, like-
00:35:02,452 --> 00:35:02,652 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:35:02,652 --> 00:35:12,332 [Speaker 1]
... when we go out and have, like... We go out and have a nice meal with one of your friends or family members and then just like, "Oh, the food was so good." And then you go to-
00:35:12,352 --> 00:35:12,372 [Speaker 0]
Mm
00:35:12,372 --> 00:35:15,332 [Speaker 1]
... the store and then you're like, "Oh, I found everything I needed." So it's like-
00:35:15,332 --> 00:35:16,452 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:35:16,452 --> 00:35:17,832 [Speaker 1]
... that kind of feeling, right? Uh-
00:35:17,952 --> 00:35:17,952 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:35:17,952 --> 00:35:23,072 [Speaker 1]
... I think that's also a day-to-day where it's like, "Oh, that was a very successful day," but really it was just, like-
00:35:23,992 --> 00:35:24,072 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:35:24,072 --> 00:35:34,152 [Speaker 1]
... listening to that little blue light [laughs] and you were just, like, present with it, rather than just like, "Oh my gosh, I need to do this. I need to do my 10 hundred errands, da, da, da." Like-
00:35:34,432 --> 00:35:34,612 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:35:34,612 --> 00:35:40,732 [Speaker 1]
... um, or, "Oh my gosh, this, I hate cleaning and it's making me nervous and da, da, da, da." So, like... [laughs]
00:35:40,752 --> 00:35:41,172 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:35:41,172 --> 00:35:42,432 [Speaker 1]
These are, these are my some of my-
00:35:42,452 --> 00:35:42,792 [Speaker 0]
I hear you
00:35:42,792 --> 00:35:43,812 [Speaker 1]
... real thoughts. So-
00:35:43,932 --> 00:35:44,892 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:35:44,972 --> 00:35:47,072 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. You know what I mean? So I think that's-
00:35:47,092 --> 00:35:47,252 [Speaker 0]
Uh-huh
00:35:47,252 --> 00:36:06,212 [Speaker 1]
... kind of what I was also thinking of day-to-day, because sometimes for me it's like I'm very, like, I love my tribe and my people and my community, so sometimes that day-to-day care is, like, with somebody else. And that will just give me that... It fills up my cup, right? It gives back to me and it,
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:13,732 [Speaker 1]
it's something I've done since forever. And so I guess I would say it's, like, a little bit of a practice, right? It takes time to-
00:36:13,792 --> 00:36:13,912 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:36:13,912 --> 00:36:17,452 [Speaker 1]
... get there with somebody and trust. Um,
00:36:19,352 --> 00:36:20,812 [Speaker 1]
and obviously a boundary, right?
00:36:21,452 --> 00:36:21,552 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:36:21,552 --> 00:36:30,972 [Speaker 1]
Meaning having those boundaries set with each other or having, like, maybe no boundaries, a little bit less boundaries and being able to be like, "Okay, let's do this." Um-
00:36:31,132 --> 00:36:32,812 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. I like that.
00:36:32,832 --> 00:36:33,212 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. That's right.
00:36:34,372 --> 00:36:36,172 [Speaker 0]
I love it. Yeah, no, I hear you.
00:36:36,172 --> 00:36:36,292 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:36:36,372 --> 00:36:51,752 [Speaker 0]
Um, no, i- i- it's a, it's a- It's not a, like, a, a to-do list. That's the part that people think about. I call it Chichi soul time, right? Yeah. And it, it, it... and it's not, "Oh, I need to do this and I need to do that." Um,
00:36:54,572 --> 00:37:03,392 [Speaker 0]
it's not a list we make. And you sharing, okay, my endless laundry or doing the dishes, that's, I guess, is what they call mindful, you know,
00:37:05,092 --> 00:37:19,672 [Speaker 0]
mindfulness. Mindfulness, yeah, kind of deal. 'Cause the flow is the flow, mija. That's, that word's been around for so long. And the, and the best... Uh, you know, but it comes back and forth because the flow,
00:37:20,752 --> 00:37:44,312 [Speaker 0]
the only thing I could think of is that emulated that, another movie, another kid's movie, Finding Nemo, when those, uh, uh- ... those Honus, those turtles got the Australian stream and they were, like, hanging 10 and they get off and they goes, "What are you doing?" "Oh, we're just riding the stream, you know, all the way to Australia. Woo-hoo!" You know, hanging 10, you know? [laughs]
00:37:44,352 --> 00:37:45,492 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:37:46,072 --> 00:38:05,572 [Speaker 0]
But, you know... Yeah, yeah, with that turtle, he just, you know, that... He just looked at it, Nemo or whoever it was, and he just said, "Yeah, come on. You wanna, you wanna join us? Come on into the stream. Come into the flow." Right? Yeah. So that's what it feels like. Yeah, you could get on or off. I, I know for a fact, because we're human,
00:38:06,772 --> 00:38:10,492 [Speaker 0]
we, when we're in a space of overwhelm,
00:38:11,952 --> 00:38:27,692 [Speaker 0]
right, we believe those thoughts that aren't real. I mean, they can be real, but you shared it, we both shared it, you know, the past, the future, we get caught up in it. We can get caught up in the future of what is this, what is that, what is that, you know, so on.
00:38:29,052 --> 00:38:54,832 [Speaker 0]
And in the stillness and, and being still and getting quiet, then we hear that which we need to do. And it almost always is a surprise to us, isn't it? It's like, "Oh my gosh, there it is. Oh my gosh, there it is." Yeah? 'Cause everything and everyone is in place, but only in the m- and in the moment, not only, but in the moment of time and space. Not in the past, in our history, or not in the future. And, um,
00:38:55,852 --> 00:39:01,472 [Speaker 0]
yeah, it's... [sighs] That's what everybody's been saying since the beginning of time. Yeah? Uh,
00:39:02,632 --> 00:39:14,892 [Speaker 0]
the next one here is you, you mentioned it, what you were sharing, depending on, you know, sometimes I wanna be with my friends and sometimes, you know, I need the boundaries there and sometimes I don't need the boundaries there. And
00:39:15,972 --> 00:39:18,992 [Speaker 0]
th- this next thing I'd like to touch on, and it's something
00:39:20,352 --> 00:39:30,392 [Speaker 0]
that it took me a long time, uh, to, you know, like, I don't know. It's an art form, I think. Um, I love being around people.
00:39:31,472 --> 00:39:38,772 [Speaker 0]
I really love people in, in deep ways. I'm very curious about humans and how we do life.
00:39:39,992 --> 00:40:39,832 [Speaker 0]
So Mavis Kern, one of my, uh, beautiful human people that helped me kind of see who I be. You know, she was one of the first few peoples that saw me and said, "Oh, I see the work you do. I don't understand all of it, but I, I see." And I was struggling. This is, has to be, uh, 30 years ago, 'cause I've known her, like, 35 years or something. And she asked... And I was having a really challenging time with boundaries and, uh, and being grounded and t- sharing some certain things with her about this, that, and whatever. And she said, "Okay..." Uh, you know, even in the nonphysical realm, things were happening and, and she goes, again, she goes, "I don't understand any of that, what you just shared, but I b- you know, I totally believe you. There's not... I know who you are." Said, "Okay." She goes, "I have a question, though. You're in your house. You're in your..." She didn't say casita. "You're in your casita." Okay, so this is the nonphysical, right? Yeah. "You're in your casita." But she's talking about the physical. And she said, um, "And somebody knocks at the door. Do you just open the door and invite them in?"
00:40:39,832 --> 00:40:41,012 [Speaker 1]
[chuckles]
00:40:41,012 --> 00:40:43,612 [Speaker 0]
And I go, "No." [laughs] I mean-
00:40:43,672 --> 00:40:43,832 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm
00:40:43,832 --> 00:40:53,492 [Speaker 0]
... the answer was so fast. "No, I don't." She goes, "Then Julia, again, I don't understand everything you do, but are you supposed to let every entity
00:40:54,732 --> 00:40:55,952 [Speaker 0]
into your space
00:40:57,211 --> 00:41:46,172 [Speaker 0]
just because they come and present themselves to, selves to you?" And I said, "Oh my God." [laughs] Well, praise the Lord and hallelujah, Jesus, right? [laughs] 'Cause it stuck with me because I thought, "Oh my goodness." So then that's when I really start looking at my little casita on, you know, really looking at it and saying, "Okay, Jules, you, you check this out." So if this dense frequency comes in, you have choice. You don't have to let it in. Yeah. So I get to make the choice. I, I pref- prefer to have people... Uh, not prefer. I want to be in a place where there's love and, and compassion and folks doing their best being in this world. No one has to be perfect. Yeah?
00:41:47,232 --> 00:42:06,872 [Speaker 0]
It's like my food. I know it sounds off, but I don't go to any restaurant where there's... the cooks are yelling at each other. I really check out who is behi- who's cooking the food, even in my own little casita in the physical realm. If somebody's pissed off and angry, I will not consume their food. I do not want their food,
00:42:08,092 --> 00:42:35,532 [Speaker 0]
because all it has is piss and vinegar. Yeah? I want people to, you know, like, I, uh, I want, I want, I want, but I mean, [laughs] what I wanna invite into my life are the, the, the, the light of the frequency of being, of love. I get it. You know, people are in bad moods and things like that. But I have choice who I allow into my sphere or not, right? So yeah. How about yourself? I think you mentioned it, um,
00:42:37,012 --> 00:42:42,672 [Speaker 0]
about... You were talking about boundaries and things like that. Boundaries are important, being grounded.
00:42:43,532 --> 00:42:44,332 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm.
00:42:44,392 --> 00:42:45,960 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,600 [Speaker 0]
Do, do you wanna add something to that? Just curious.
00:42:49,740 --> 00:42:53,940 [Speaker 1]
Hmm. No, that's good, 'cause yeah, it's something that I have been
00:42:55,780 --> 00:42:58,040 [Speaker 1]
also working on as someone that's just...
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,060 [Speaker 1]
I really love and care for people so much, and I really try to
00:43:06,780 --> 00:43:13,700 [Speaker 1]
see and understand the, you know, like the best, right, in people. And sometimes that can lead me to
00:43:14,740 --> 00:43:16,560 [Speaker 1]
trust a little too much in people-
00:43:16,620 --> 00:43:16,820 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:43:16,820 --> 00:43:22,200 [Speaker 1]
... and in things, right? So then I... it can lead to me feeling like, oh no, maybe this is...
00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:30,160 [Speaker 1]
Um, to maybe question a boundary maybe that I would have or I should put in place.
00:43:30,820 --> 00:43:31,640 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:43:31,660 --> 00:43:36,220 [Speaker 1]
Yeah, I think sometimes boundaries are very important and that, um,
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:40,620 [Speaker 1]
we need them because I know for me that it's, like,
00:43:41,940 --> 00:43:52,940 [Speaker 1]
exactly what you just said, Gigi, that you shouldn't be letting just anybody into your casita because it's for you, right? And if someone's going to disrespect that or not
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,780 [Speaker 1]
care for it or give you anything that is out of love or compassion, then-
00:43:59,400 --> 00:43:59,680 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:19,480 [Speaker 1]
... there's no need for it. So it took me some time to see that, and I think it can be... And as someone, like I mentioned, right, as a sensitive, sometimes those things can come on to me without even knowing. Um, and someone that didn't even know that, like, oh, I can put a boundary between myself and this person, Stardust. Um,
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:21,860 [Speaker 1]
so yes, I would
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,720 [Speaker 1]
make sure that we're practicing and having... uh, like practicing good boundaries and having...
00:44:30,180 --> 00:44:35,680 [Speaker 1]
being firm in that and saying in that. And I'm also saying this for myself too as someone that's still kind of, like,
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,340 [Speaker 1]
reworking how to have...
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:43,800 [Speaker 1]
not to take in so much from other people, Stardust. [laughs]
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:50,880 [Speaker 0]
Exactly, right? No, that, that is, that is so true. It, it... You know, there's that, um,
00:44:52,180 --> 00:45:12,940 [Speaker 0]
saying way back when, uh, by... when you were growing up, it takes a village to raise a child or whatever. And, and I'm like, it doesn't stop with childhood. It, it continues into the adult. I still need my village, my tribe, my community, uh, to be part of me because I, I,
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,980 [Speaker 0]
I think I'm saying I a lot, [laughs] but my choice is, um,
00:45:19,620 --> 00:45:27,920 [Speaker 0]
my choice is to be here present and be with others with boundaries and being able to
00:45:29,340 --> 00:45:32,000 [Speaker 0]
have a good grounding-ness, yeah?
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:42,440 [Speaker 0]
I wanted to, to bring in this because if somebody's listening to this and, and it just came to me right now, and they're in a relationship that isn't healthy, yeah,
00:45:45,480 --> 00:46:06,980 [Speaker 0]
what I'm gonna share with you is please get the professional help that you need. I love doing these, these, these episodes, this podcast, truly do. But at the same time, again, uh, I have a human therapist that I call up every now and then. Well, at, like, sometimes more than once, you know, like [laughs] more than, more than every now and then. And, um,
00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:14,600 [Speaker 0]
that human therapist has helped me to understand certain things about the human existence. Now, the nonphysical,
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:24,980 [Speaker 0]
I'm, like, really cool because there's no right or wrong, meaning there's no... nothing's bad or good in that realm of being. There's only dense frequency and, and
00:46:26,140 --> 00:46:50,360 [Speaker 0]
medium frequency and fine, beautiful, unconditional love. But not everybody understands that. And there are humans that have the tendency to think that one, one is kind and, and loving and generous with their time. Uh, some people take advantage of that, and some people don't know they're doing it, and some people actually do know they're doing it. So it's a good thing to have,
00:46:51,440 --> 00:47:03,640 [Speaker 0]
you know, the support that you need, whether it's a human therapist or, um, a group of folks that help you see what you need to see within yourselves, yeah? Because this is not a, a, a one,
00:47:05,420 --> 00:47:06,180 [Speaker 0]
a person job.
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:07,900 [Speaker 0]
No,
00:47:09,340 --> 00:47:46,100 [Speaker 0]
it isn't. I, I, you know... Trust me, I've tried to do it by myself. Doesn't work. [laughs] Yeah. Your, your guides, your angels, your ancestors are there for you 24/7. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the human stuff that we can't... we, we actually start going, "Are they really there?" Uh, I could tell you stories from way back when, when I used to go, "Really?" [laughs] And then things would happen, and I'd go, "I don't ask that question anymore." And I would go, "Why do I keep j-..." [laughs] I mean, like, I see things all the time, [laughs] you know? So, but it, it helps to bring your community in all the time, yeah.
00:47:46,180 --> 00:48:03,340 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. We're talking about, like, the full self of being, but also making sure that you tending care to, like, your human self. Um, and that's kind of what we're describing here, that it's, like, making sure if you need that support, being able to get that and find that for yourself.
00:48:03,340 --> 00:48:19,160 [Speaker 0]
We talked about at the beginning and some of the small things that we could do on a weekly basis, uh, to, you know, tend to our little casitas. We need to tend to them. We don't... It's not something like, "Oh, I remember I have a casita within me. Now I better do something." You know, it's more like,
00:48:20,220 --> 00:48:22,380 [Speaker 0]
um, what's the tending we do?
00:48:23,380 --> 00:48:27,320 [Speaker 1]
For me, or at least so when I'm thinking about it, is doing things that
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:36,260 [Speaker 1]
is what my grandma describes as, like, coming back home to yourself. Um, and in this case, right, it would be coming back,
00:48:38,020 --> 00:48:39,900 [Speaker 1]
back to your casita. Um,
00:48:41,660 --> 00:48:51,320 [Speaker 1]
and for me, it can be different things. It's, like, it changes on the day or changes on the week. So sometimes it can be, like-
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:58,320 [Speaker 1]
I just hear this, uh, it is my blue light, and be like, "I need some sun. I need to just sit outside and get some sun."
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:06,520 [Speaker 1]
And then I can just feel it, like, all everywhere, just being like, "Ah, this is what I needed." Um,
00:49:08,460 --> 00:49:40,880 [Speaker 1]
like, you know, physical, doing things physical, so, like, things like that, right? Going outside and going for walks or, right, sports. I know people are really connected to that, so I think of that, like, the physical movement. Um, [smacks lips] like an emotional thing, right? Something that allows you, if you're sad, then to, like, allow yourself to cry, right? Sometimes for me, it's like going through, like, moments of grief and sadness. It's like sometimes I just need to cry, and then
00:49:42,420 --> 00:49:44,800 [Speaker 1]
that's when I can hear my casita, if that makes sense.
00:49:45,460 --> 00:49:46,240 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:49:46,260 --> 00:49:53,860 [Speaker 1]
It's like all that emotion's being held up, and then I'm, like, all of a sudden just have this moment of crying. And it could be like, yes, for me, but sometimes you, like,
00:49:55,060 --> 00:50:05,480 [Speaker 1]
watch, like, a movie or something and then it gets you going, um, or listen to music or talk to someone. Um, [smacks lips] other things I think of is, like,
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:28,780 [Speaker 1]
for me, I have a lot of, like... Uh, and I'm sure many people can relate to, like, the thoughts and, like, the mental kind of s- blocks. Um, and for me, that's writing and just putting it somewhere that I can physically see it. Um, [smacks lips] and for different people, that's a way to just unwind. We talk about a lot of unwinding in SWOW, about, like...
00:50:30,260 --> 00:50:39,900 [Speaker 1]
Then when that starts to clear, right, that fog that I kind of mentioned earlier over your casita, then that's when it starts to become clearer. Um, so maybe in, like...
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,160 [Speaker 1]
Maybe for people that are... I know for me sometimes, I like the vi- the visualization of it,
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:53,400 [Speaker 1]
is think of how your casita is maybe clouded or feeling kind of dark, and, like, you're like, "Where are the lights?" So-
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:53,640 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:58,980 [Speaker 1]
... you need to kind of find the things [laughs] that bring you back to the light, right? And then-
00:50:59,020 --> 00:50:59,640 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:19,560 [Speaker 1]
... when you start looking for that, going back to the light that's within you, that's when you'll hear it. Um, and that's really what my JuJu's trying to tell us, that, like, it's always there. It's not gone. It's never gonna be wrong. Um, you are perfect and whole as you are. Um, it's just when...
00:51:21,180 --> 00:51:27,120 [Speaker 1]
Right? And it happens to all of us, when that human experience comes through and we think not... Um,
00:51:28,460 --> 00:51:29,520 [Speaker 1]
yeah. That's-
00:51:29,580 --> 00:51:29,640 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:30,280 [Speaker 1]
... that's the be-
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:30,440 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,660 [Speaker 1]
... best way I can describe it.
00:51:32,480 --> 00:53:26,880 [Speaker 0]
Mm. I love that. No, thank you. I love that. I... It's, it's so personal. Everyone's little blue light, their little casita is so personal and what you do, but I do know this going out. I have a dog, Nava, and he makes me go outside when he sees me. And I... Those of you that have dogs, uh, uh, maybe cats too, I don't know if they really like to go outside as much as dogs do, but he'll, he'll get in a routine, like, "You get your butt out here. It is nice and purdy. You get out there and I feel great." And then one of my favorite things that I love to do, and it's called a wind bath. And, and that's also on our website. We have something on there talking about a wind bath. And I shared that with someone a long time ago, and, and they looked at me funny. And I said, "What's the matter?" It was, um, a, a, a male, a, a man. And I s- and he goes, "Are you, you gonna get into a what?" I go, "A wind bath." He goes, "You gonna get naked and go outside and let the wind..." I said, "No." [laughs] I guess, you know, he was thinking about a bath, right? And I go, "No, no, I keep my clothes on." [laughs] And I call the wind and I, and I just feel the wind or a little breeze or whatever, and I just go to the four directions and allow, you know, like invite, not allow, invite my ancestors, my guides and so on, to bless me with their wind or swipe me, get a good cleansing with the wind to release all the stuff that I've been holding in my human existence, 'cause we are made of stardust, right? And so there's so much we cannot see with the human eyes that we can feel with our bodies. And it just, ah, it brings me so much, as you can see, it brings me so much joy and relief. And you know what, Juliana? Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I laugh. Sometimes I just go, "Ah." You know, it's like the best meal I could ever have. That's me, yeah? Somebody else-
00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:26,940 [Speaker 1]
Yeah
00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:28,900 [Speaker 0]
... might say, "Oh, heck no. Yeah."
00:53:28,900 --> 00:53:29,100 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:34,100 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. No, no, no, I don't wanna do that. I don't care clothed or unclothed, I don't wanna do no wind bath, right? Yeah.
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:34,600 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:53:34,620 --> 00:54:08,660 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. So just, just, you know, think of you, those of you that are listening, think of you, f- what, what brings you solace, what brings you happiness, what holds that space for you, because our brain will continually try to keep us safe. And it's not about throwing away thoughts. Those thoughts just keep coming and going. Just let 'em run their course and let them be. But you could al- It, it's not about interrupting them either. Did I just say that? But, you know, it's about just being and going, "Oh gosh, that's a nasty thought." 'Cause I, I'm just gonna tell you, sometimes I have thoughts that I know I, I have no idea where they came from. [laughs]
00:54:08,660 --> 00:54:08,960 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:54:08,980 --> 00:54:10,140 [Speaker 0]
That's all I can say.
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:10,560 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:54:10,580 --> 00:54:16,180 [Speaker 0]
And I get, I get upset and I go... My peeps are going, "Why are you getting upset about a thought, a random thought?" And I go, "I don't know-
00:54:16,260 --> 00:54:16,280 [Speaker 1]
Yeah
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,080 [Speaker 0]
... but that's, that's a weird thing."
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:18,420 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:54:18,460 --> 00:55:11,348 [Speaker 0]
I never even... How would I even think of that? Did I watch a movie that... No, no, stop thinking about it. Stop analyzing. Let it go. Remember, Julia, soul listening. Shh, quiet. It's good. Let it go. Adios, aloha, and all that good stuff, right, Mia? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, so I would love to share... You know, you folks, this is the Indigenous Wisdom podcast, and actually, we have so many cool things. I've mentioned them, so many offerings at SWOW. Check us out at theschoolofthewolves.net. One of the really cool ones, um, I'd like to share this dragonfly, 'cause I pull a card every time I do an episode, uh, then, and then we'll close it up. But I would like to share with you folks what came up. And, uh, and I'm gonna read it. Like, a sleeping dragonfly. Resting.
00:55:13,568 --> 00:55:18,488 [Speaker 0]
Rest in your sleep of self and lie still in your being.
00:55:19,508 --> 00:55:24,248 [Speaker 0]
The awaken of you is soon to come into you.
00:55:25,388 --> 00:55:33,568 [Speaker 0]
Shh. Continue the sleep of you. Know that the how will show itself
00:55:34,688 --> 00:55:36,528 [Speaker 0]
in the night of day.
00:55:37,688 --> 00:55:38,288 [Speaker 0]
Amen.
00:55:40,668 --> 00:55:52,308 [Speaker 0]
So if you could look at this, continue the sleep of you, what it's sharing there, I love this, how these dragonflies work. What it's saying is, let your human self, shh, be still,
00:55:53,868 --> 00:56:26,968 [Speaker 0]
and know that the how will show itself in the night of day. And, and, uh, somebody goes, "What's the night of day?" When I channeled this, I was telling Juliana, I said, "Night of, night of day," meaning that at night there's a lot of stillness. We, we feel things, we see things, right, in the night of day. So in that night, the day will show itself. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it's about shh, the you of you. The how will show up in the night of day. Hmm. Amen. Juliana, any closing thoughts?
00:56:27,368 --> 00:56:33,088 [Speaker 1]
No. Um, and just kind of, you know, we shared our thoughts and just kind of like
00:56:35,268 --> 00:56:37,428 [Speaker 1]
tending to your own casita. I hope that you
00:56:38,948 --> 00:56:42,588 [Speaker 1]
find solace in this podcast or this episode, and
00:56:43,908 --> 00:56:46,648 [Speaker 1]
that you take some time for your own casita and just
00:56:47,848 --> 00:56:54,928 [Speaker 1]
get back to it. Um, and I know I will do the same. So thank you for this conversation as always, and
00:56:56,168 --> 00:56:59,368 [Speaker 1]
for this space and allowing us to share what we have.
00:57:00,348 --> 00:57:03,988 [Speaker 0]
Hmm. Oh, thank you, Juliana. And we're gonna have more. We have-
00:57:04,168 --> 00:57:04,308 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm
00:57:04,308 --> 00:57:14,828 [Speaker 0]
... more coming to you folks. And please, I mention this, hopefully folks, send us some questions. We'd love to answer them. We, I, I,
00:57:16,088 --> 00:57:27,508 [Speaker 0]
we look at all the emails, we look at all the questions. So send them our way and we shall do that. If we get enough of them, enough questions, Juliana and I would love to answer those questions.
00:57:30,708 --> 00:57:36,448 [Speaker 0]
Thank you, my g- [laughs] my beautiful granddaughter, Juliana, for this conversation.
00:57:38,308 --> 00:57:53,348 [Speaker 0]
Here's what we keep circling back to. Your casita never actually breaks, no matter how neglected or c- or crowded or dark it gets. It's just waiting for you to come back and tend to it.
00:57:54,948 --> 00:58:04,648 [Speaker 0]
That tending isn't a to-do list. [laughs] It's boundaries, you know, those energetic boundaries that move into the physical boundaries, yeah?
00:58:06,248 --> 00:58:08,708 [Speaker 0]
It's choosing who gets to walk through that door,
00:58:10,088 --> 00:58:13,548 [Speaker 0]
and it's the small, ordinary things,
00:58:16,068 --> 00:58:20,828 [Speaker 0]
el sol, the sun, a walk, a good cry, writing it down,
00:58:21,868 --> 00:58:25,288 [Speaker 0]
that lead us back to your own light of being.
00:58:28,308 --> 00:58:33,788 [Speaker 0]
And if what you're carrying is more than a casita can hold on its own,
00:58:35,468 --> 00:58:41,468 [Speaker 0]
then check this out, mijas and mijos, please get the professional support you need. Yes?
00:58:43,308 --> 00:58:45,708 [Speaker 0]
Porque no? Yeah? Why not?
00:58:47,748 --> 00:59:05,448 [Speaker 0]
And check this out also, another checkout. [laughs] If you have a question for Juliana or for me, send it to us at theschoolwithoutwalls.net. We read every one, and we might just talk about your question on a future J&J.
00:59:07,208 --> 00:59:12,668 [Speaker 0]
I would also like to share with you something that I find so much fun is the dragonflies.
00:59:14,168 --> 00:59:22,088 [Speaker 0]
Um, I pull a card every time I do a podcast, and today was purple dragonfly, and I wanna share this with you.
00:59:23,428 --> 00:59:26,068 [Speaker 0]
Purple dragonfly, divine one,
00:59:27,248 --> 00:59:38,068 [Speaker 0]
know we are going to protect you. Hold onto your love of yourself and you will see how life for you will be peaceful.
00:59:39,628 --> 00:59:46,168 [Speaker 0]
Let the universal life move through you in a way you have not allowed in the past.
00:59:47,388 --> 00:59:51,588 [Speaker 0]
Let your light be seen by you and all those around you.
00:59:52,748 --> 00:59:55,548 [Speaker 0]
In this, you will let it all go
00:59:56,928 --> 00:59:57,508 [Speaker 0]
past.
00:59:59,328 --> 00:59:59,928 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
01:00:01,628 --> 01:00:04,448 [Speaker 0]
Being in the moment in your little casita,
01:00:05,768 --> 01:00:11,048 [Speaker 0]
recognizing you as this loving whole being. Wow, right?
01:00:12,748 --> 01:00:22,508 [Speaker 0]
Mírale. Yo soy Julia Carmen. Muchas gracias for listening in. And you know what? There's more to come. Adios and amen.
01:01:01,488 --> 01:01:01,868 [Speaker 0]
[instrumental music]
[instrumental music plays] Welcome back to the Indigenous Wisdom Podcast. Mírale, yo soy Julia Carmen.
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:34,620 [Speaker 0]
Juliana and I are back with another J&J. Uh, that's what we call it, uh, these Julia and Juliana, or Juliana or Julia, whichever order you like. Mm-hmm, no problem. It's all good. This one actually started as a question Juliana asked me after our last conversation,
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,000 [Speaker 0]
mírale, the one on the overculture,
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:43,100 [Speaker 0]
when I mentioned going back to your casita. Mm-hmm.
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:46,900 [Speaker 0]
So today, we sit with the word,
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,300 [Speaker 0]
what a casita actually is.
00:00:53,780 --> 00:00:55,080 [Speaker 0]
Not just a house,
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,840 [Speaker 0]
but the place within you connected to your soul self of being,
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,600 [Speaker 0]
what I've called
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,980 [Speaker 0]
your little blue light since Juliana was too small for kindergarten.
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,540 [Speaker 0]
We talked about what happens when it gets crowded with someone else's stuff. You know how the house gets
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:26,520 [Speaker 0]
crowded with stuff that's not our stuff, you know? Who gets to walk through the door,
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:32,180 [Speaker 0]
and how you find your way back when it's gone dark.
00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:41,520 [Speaker 0]
I can't wait to share this conversation with you all. So mírale, let's begin.
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:50,240 [Speaker 0]
We have another J&J, which means Julia and Juliana, or Juliana and Julia.
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:58,580 [Speaker 1]
In the last episode that we did, we were talking about just the overculture and then having to go back towards your
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,100 [Speaker 1]
casita. So I've heard of this before, but I'm trying to see, like,
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:13,300 [Speaker 1]
maybe revisiting that conversation about, like, what is a casita and how... and what it means to go back to that casita within.
00:02:14,460 --> 00:03:04,540 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm, yeah. So la casita within, which I find, like, I thought, "Oh, I'm sure you've heard that phrase, uh, coming back home to yourself," right? Yeah? And even then in the English wording, vernacular, it is, it's like, what is home, right? So Spanish is my first language, so ay, mi, mi, mi bonita casita, qué bonita. You know, like within myself to coming back home to my little casita. So it's, it's a place that is within myself, and again, within myself or within each, each individual person. And then I think one of your questions was, I think, was, "What does it mean within?" I, I'm not... You know, [laughs] what does that mean? Is it, is it like...
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:20,180 [Speaker 0]
is it my soul self of being, or is it a room inside it, or, um... And, you know, "Where did all this stuff come from? How did you make that up?" And I'm like, "I don't know." [laughs]
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:20,400 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:31,440 [Speaker 0]
So, so I had to think about it. [laughs] I really did. Yeah, yeah. So give us some more, you know, like... I mean, yeah, where did it come from? And, you know, of course, definitely we're gonna revisit it.
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:41,260 [Speaker 0]
So when you asked a question, I'd like to ask a question of the question, and is the casita the same as the soul self of being?
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:53,560 [Speaker 0]
Uh, you know, maybe share with us, you know, to you, what those two mean to you, and that it might give me... Before I do that, oh, I forgot to share this with folks, and,
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,740 [Speaker 0]
and that is you may hear birds
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,720 [Speaker 0]
out my window. [dog barking] You may hear my dog, Nava, barking as he is right now
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:06,600 [Speaker 0]
at whoever goes by, or the mailman or whatevers.
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:23,380 [Speaker 0]
Or you may hear a plane go by where Juliana lives, because she lives close to that. [dog barking] So we try and do our best to take out the noise, but sometimes it's not possible. So okay, Juliana, go for it.
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,800 [Speaker 1]
When I was thinking about this for myself and, like, what a casita is, um,
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:39,140 [Speaker 1]
in a lot what I'm thinking back is, is to that movie, like, Encanto, and kind of just the casita that they had and how
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:58,560 [Speaker 1]
I think that was one of the best ways to describe a casita and, like, it being alive and being able to, like, hold everybody's stuff. Um, but I imagine that's, like, a casita inside of us, so maybe that will give people some sort of visualization of having it within,
00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:13,820 [Speaker 1]
um, because obviously we have our own casitas, like, in our... We all have our own houses where we go and where we be. But then in my understanding of this verbiage and this use of casita, it's being able to go back to
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:15,540 [Speaker 1]
us.
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:29,220 [Speaker 1]
And I think of that more as maybe a human experience and kind of, like, those experiences that we've had. And then I... This is my take. And then the soul self of being is, like, the connections from
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:38,800 [Speaker 1]
this planet and this universe and the people around us and those experiences and those feelings and the truths that exist
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:46,700 [Speaker 1]
being connected to that. So I think of those slightly separate. They're not completely, like, two different things, but then
00:05:49,040 --> 00:06:02,200 [Speaker 1]
I'm taking just what I'm understanding of casita that, like, not everyone can tell us what our casita is and what it looks like. Um, I think that's really maybe up to us. But, like, I could be wrong about that as well.
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,116 [Speaker 0]
Oh, no, that sounds great. I, I... Okay, I-
00:06:08,116 --> 00:06:10,776 [Speaker 0]
Uh, quote, unquote, "I taught you well." [laughs]
00:06:10,776 --> 00:06:11,496 [Speaker 1]
[laughs] Okay.
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:12,356 [Speaker 0]
[laughs] The, the-
00:06:12,376 --> 00:06:14,796 [Speaker 1]
Maybe I have heard it more than I thought. [laughs]
00:06:14,856 --> 00:06:26,336 [Speaker 0]
No, no. I mean, that was, that was what I was hoping you would hear. And then the movie, definitely, definitely, that is a really good, uh, perfect
00:06:27,736 --> 00:06:45,556 [Speaker 0]
image that us humans, 'cause we're in a human being, if you're listening to this in the human form or the hu-woman form, definitely is... If I remember that movie, there were so many rooms and so many this and so many that, that it-
00:06:45,676 --> 00:06:45,696 [Speaker 1]
Yeah
00:06:45,696 --> 00:06:55,136 [Speaker 0]
... it, it was like a maze of it, and then it just went poof, and then it became poof, and then it became that, depending on everybody's soul self of being.
00:06:56,036 --> 00:06:56,156 [Speaker 1]
Hmm.
00:06:56,196 --> 00:07:22,656 [Speaker 0]
Yeah? So you had an angry... Which I, I heard some kind of negative stuff about, I guess it was the grandmother or the mother, whoever it was that was kind of ornery, and they were saying, "Blah, blah, blah." And I looked at that as that, that matriarch was the one holding the pain and the suffering. And then what was her granddaughter, um... Right? Was it her granddaughter or her daughter? It's been a while since I seen the movie.
00:07:23,096 --> 00:07:24,036 [Speaker 1]
Yeah, it's her granddaughter.
00:07:24,816 --> 00:07:27,276 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. And her granddaughter's like, "What?"
00:07:27,276 --> 00:07:28,456 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:07:28,456 --> 00:07:31,896 [Speaker 0]
"I love you, but, uh, excuse me."
00:07:31,896 --> 00:07:32,436 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:07:32,436 --> 00:07:42,796 [Speaker 0]
"I ain't buying that." [laughs] Right? "I ain't buying that sh- that stuff. Come on, Grandma. I know you have... I know this is out of love." And then what happened, right, Mia?
00:07:42,876 --> 00:08:02,296 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. It, it, like, tears... They tore down the casita because they finally, like, connected on understanding, like, this is about the family and not two separate realities. And, and then rebuilding... I mean, the casita came back, but that's kind of what I think is exactly what we're talking about, and that, like,
00:08:04,196 --> 00:08:15,316 [Speaker 1]
we... I think of the casita maybe like, ooh, getting scary or dark, and, like, things can happen to it. And that's just exactly how it was. It's just like it kind of followed what people were doing and how they were,
00:08:16,436 --> 00:08:21,936 [Speaker 1]
and then it reacted to that. And yeah, so exactly what you were saying.
00:08:22,656 --> 00:08:42,136 [Speaker 0]
Yeah, 'cause the ca- uh, casita can represent, uh, a physical, uh, but all at the same time represent the soul self of being, which is what we, you know, like, connected to 24/7, right? So part that you just shared, the bi- the first part, is the human condition.
00:08:43,256 --> 00:09:15,596 [Speaker 0]
So if you remember the grandmother, her experience was, "This is what happened to my family that I love so much, that I will protect, that I will even be a mean bitch." I don't use, like, the word bitch, but I, I, I don't like that re- ter- re- uh, that, that word is not my... I u- I don't use that word, [laughs] but in the overculture, that is used a lot as a very derogatory thing, yeah, to male and female. Um, and so she was willing to be the ugly in order to save her family.
00:09:17,076 --> 00:09:47,596 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. So that's the human, the hu-woman, um, you know, like what we think, the human thing of the thinking of what's happened to a family. Yeah. And usually the person that's trying to protect it the most looks like the person that's the no bueno person. Yeah. But again, the new generation, the, the, the granddaughter comes in and said, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no." Yeah. So the house, you know, walking into it, right?
00:09:50,116 --> 00:10:17,236 [Speaker 0]
That's what happens when the house is neglected, right? And everybody just keeps doing the habitual stuff over and over and over again. Yeah. And that's what happened in that movie. It's kind of like, "Okay, let's do this. We're doing this because this is what happened. We're doing this because this is what could happen." So is, Grandma was not living in the presence, not because she was mean and hateful and rude. It's because... Or a B, but because
00:10:18,316 --> 00:10:36,536 [Speaker 0]
she loved her family. Yeah. And, and, and the granddaughter loved her grandmother so much that she almost went there. She almost took that lineage to a certain place, if I remember the m- movie right. Instead, the grandmother could hear her, even though it got ugly there, right? So,
00:10:38,116 --> 00:10:46,976 [Speaker 0]
so what happens when the casita's neglected, abandoned, locked up, or overrun with other people's stuff? I like that.
00:10:47,576 --> 00:10:50,556 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Uh, kind of thinking a little bit about
00:10:52,376 --> 00:10:54,916 [Speaker 1]
it feeling like that, right? I'm sure it can kind of, like,
00:10:57,956 --> 00:10:59,516 [Speaker 1]
manifest or, like, emulate in,
00:11:00,776 --> 00:11:05,956 [Speaker 1]
in the physical, right, in the human form, where I know when I have
00:11:07,756 --> 00:11:14,276 [Speaker 1]
myself going through those motions, I just feel like I'm just moving through the motions and trying to just get through day to day. Um,
00:11:15,296 --> 00:11:16,916 [Speaker 1]
I can struggle to see, like,
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:35,836 [Speaker 1]
the needs and the cares that I need to take care, like, need to do in my house. So I can imagine, like, the same things happening within our own casitas. It's like it just starts getting, like, more cluttered and messy, and just things start to kind of just pile up. But because you're just moving through those motions,
00:11:37,156 --> 00:11:38,296 [Speaker 1]
for not other people to see it-
00:11:38,896 --> 00:11:39,236 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:11:39,236 --> 00:11:47,656 [Speaker 1]
... um, or because you're focused on going somewhere else. And then when it's, like, stepping back into that present, it's like, "Oh,
00:11:48,916 --> 00:11:58,796 [Speaker 1]
this needs some, like, care and, and some tending to." So that's what I imagine. Like, it's also happening within us, that, like, these little things that
00:12:00,196 --> 00:12:15,276 [Speaker 1]
are building up, like you mentioned, being neglected or locked up or broken or holding other people's stuff, which is, I think, is also a very good thing we should talk about too. And, like, what do you do with that? Yeah.
00:12:15,984 --> 00:12:39,364 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. Exactly. I, uh, one of the, uh, archetypes is the sensitives. Yeah. Um, and in that, in the sensitives, it's them picking up... that archetype's picking up other people's, uh, stardust. Yeah. And so what, what do you do, Juliana? What is... I'm asking a question, not just personal, but...
00:12:40,424 --> 00:12:51,284 [Speaker 0]
Yeah, well, as far as the sensitive, they, they must be balanced and grounded. That's the number one thing in order to be in this world if, if that's what a person leads with. Yeah.
00:12:53,244 --> 00:13:01,044 [Speaker 0]
So do you have any, um, thoughts on that, when you pick up other people's stuff, their stardust?
00:13:03,564 --> 00:13:03,844 [Speaker 0]
Hmm.
00:13:05,924 --> 00:13:11,024 [Speaker 1]
Yeah, I can see if I can [chuckles] explain it, 'cause I think I have an idea,
00:13:12,104 --> 00:13:31,624 [Speaker 1]
and maybe... 'Cause I'm trying to been figure that out for myself too, because as someone that is... I'm aware that I'm, like, a sensitive and, like, one of the archetypes that is, and how easily it is for me to pick up stardust and other people's stardust. And
00:13:32,764 --> 00:13:33,944 [Speaker 1]
I was reflecting on how...
00:13:35,884 --> 00:13:39,644 [Speaker 1]
Well, how does that look like if I'm taking that or if it does kind of
00:13:40,744 --> 00:13:43,284 [Speaker 1]
fall onto me, right? And
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:54,704 [Speaker 1]
on top of my own stardust or the other things I make, gather. So in connecting that to the casita, it would probably be that, like,
00:13:57,144 --> 00:14:00,924 [Speaker 1]
where I think that maybe that clutter and that sense of, like,
00:14:02,484 --> 00:14:13,104 [Speaker 1]
overrunning your casita, maybe just feeling kind of overwhelmed or, like, or I don't wanna be here, or [sniffs] trying to fi- like, maybe that's where things can get,
00:14:14,344 --> 00:14:14,624 [Speaker 1]
um,
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:25,284 [Speaker 1]
where you maybe want to abandon or leave your casita, because it has so much of somebody else's stuff that it doesn't feel like yours. So...
00:14:26,343 --> 00:14:30,544 [Speaker 1]
And I think I can really empathize with that. And then maybe it happens in, like, a way of, like,
00:14:32,004 --> 00:14:44,504 [Speaker 1]
we've been having conversations about, like, grief and pain and just kind of things that can be really challenging and wanting to step away from that. And then also maybe, like, sometimes it could be good things of, like,
00:14:46,104 --> 00:15:04,284 [Speaker 1]
enjoying a new part of life and going into a new chapter, and it can be like, [smacks lips] "Am I ready for that yet?" Or, like, thinking to the future. And maybe that's not... It's starting to be your life, but then it's not there just yet, 'cause I know that can be stardust too, where you're thinking about, like...
00:15:05,464 --> 00:15:08,884 [Speaker 1]
Um, the way I'm thinking about it is like, "Oh, what if I wanted to
00:15:10,484 --> 00:15:15,864 [Speaker 1]
move across the country?" And then you're thinking about that, and it starts building a little casita, and then,
00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:22,784 [Speaker 1]
right, things can happen. I was watching a show, like, that was talking about, like, how this happens, so it's just like
00:15:23,844 --> 00:15:27,664 [Speaker 1]
they were moving... It was a show on Netflix called The Four Seasons.
00:15:28,444 --> 00:15:29,224 [Speaker 0]
Uh-huh. Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:15:29,224 --> 00:15:32,644 [Speaker 1]
And it was like, they were talking about moving to Italy, right?
00:15:32,884 --> 00:15:33,344 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:15:34,504 --> 00:15:44,884 [Speaker 1]
And then they were there and had their lives together, and it was a couple. And then they went back to the US because the mom had got sick, right? And they decided, "Well, maybe we need to just
00:15:46,324 --> 00:15:54,204 [Speaker 1]
move back in with mom and take care of her." So I feel like that kind of happened, just like you kind of have one physical, but then also one
00:15:55,944 --> 00:16:07,004 [Speaker 1]
inside you, right? So the physical casita they had, but then also one of, like, this is where I live. But then this is like, okay, now we have to leave that one and go back to this other casita
00:16:08,964 --> 00:16:20,264 [Speaker 1]
to take care of the situation. [smacks lips] Which to me, it's like, I'm sure there's so much more than one, which is kind of answering my own question that I had when thinking about this casita, was like,
00:16:21,644 --> 00:16:33,783 [Speaker 1]
how many do we have and, like, where do they come from? So now that's, like, putting it all together that maybe it happens a lot more than we think, or maybe not. Maybe sometimes we just... it depends on those situations.
00:16:34,804 --> 00:17:14,564 [Speaker 0]
I love that, because you're talking about a physical casita, so they're, you know, like Italy or, or whatever. Yeah, you have a plan to go somewhere, and then you find it. You find that place that you wanna be, right? So that's the physical part. Pero la casita that I'm talking about is the one that's with you and within you, that's connected to your soul self. So I love these questions. So your casita is... you could call that many things, and I used to call it your flac- flux capacitor from Back to the Future. [laughs] When you were a little girl, I don't know if you remember, I used to call it the little blue light in your heart. Yeah?
00:17:14,564 --> 00:17:14,624 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:17:14,624 --> 00:17:15,704 [Speaker 0]
That's your casita.
00:17:16,224 --> 00:17:16,244 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:17:16,244 --> 00:18:07,284 [Speaker 0]
But that's actually what it is. It's this beautiful point of light that is within you. So whether you live in Italy, Hawaii, Montana, the Bay Area, New York, you take your little casita with you everywhere you go. So it's from the inside out. So the question that you asked, where is the casita? And you named it. Like, we get... I don't know if it was so much we get attached, but there's certain places we feel the most comfortable. I feel the most comfortable in California, and people could have a whole lot of thinking about California, right? Yes, I was born and raised here, but I loved Hawaii big time, and I fell in love with Montana. Yeah? Right? And I know places like Sarah, who did the dragonfly cards, she was born... Yeah, and listen to that episode. She was born in Colorado, I think.
00:18:08,344 --> 00:18:20,444 [Speaker 0]
Now, check this out. She never even knew where Hawaii was. She didn't even know what Hawaii was. She used to go outside in the snow- Like, she was in Hawaii. [laughs]
00:18:20,444 --> 00:18:20,704 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:18:20,704 --> 00:18:39,404 [Speaker 0]
She used to do things only island people do. And then her sister moved to Hawaii, and she moved there, I don't know how many years ago, a while back. And when, as soon as she got off the plane, honest to goodness, she says, "I am home. What was Colorado all about? That is not my home." [laughs]
00:18:39,404 --> 00:18:39,704 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:18:39,704 --> 00:19:04,484 [Speaker 0]
She goes, "That was interesting. I guess I just had to be dropped off there by the stork," quote, unquote, "and then I find my home." And, and she says there's no other place. She just was home. Do you see what I'm saying? So it doesn't necessarily mean where you're born as soon as... I hear that often. Somebody says, "Oh, I'm from so-and-so, but I, after I got off the plane in New York, I knew that I needed to be here and stay here." Yeah?
00:19:04,764 --> 00:19:04,804 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm.
00:19:04,804 --> 00:19:20,024 [Speaker 0]
So that's your little casita giving you your little blue light. It was specifically just for you, mija, right? That says, "I'm home." It's your homing pigeon. It brings you back home to yourself, your casita. It's so personal. Nobody else can...
00:19:21,404 --> 00:20:41,444 [Speaker 0]
If you're blessed and blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed, and find a partner that has the same homing pigeon, the same flux capacitor [laughs], and they, and they vibrate the same, and then you be, and you kind of go, "Woo-hoo! Let's go," you can live anywhere. Anywhere. Yeah. Because you two will be able to figure it out. And I'm not saying doing it alone is not a blessing. Of course it's a blessing. And we weren't, uh, just planted on an island all by ourselves, so it's nice to have... When I say partner, it could be a good friend. It could be somebody, I don't know, a sibling or someone that you just, guys, we, folks just connect and say, "Let's do this together. Let's go on this adventure together." Um, so that's our little casita. Yeah. I'm glad you asked the question, because I actually did forget about your little blue light. It's in the background all the time running, right? So I'm gonna put you on the spot, Juliana, but how often have you relied on that little blue light through your whole life? Because I know I shared that with you when you were not even in school yet. So, um, you were going to kindergarten, I think, and you were afraid of the, the, the, the going. Yeah? [laughs]
00:20:41,444 --> 00:20:42,024 [Speaker 1]
[laughs] Yeah.
00:20:43,644 --> 00:20:43,644 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:20:43,664 --> 00:20:46,444 [Speaker 1]
Mm. That's a really great question.
00:20:48,124 --> 00:20:49,044 [Speaker 1]
I like to think that
00:20:51,344 --> 00:20:53,884 [Speaker 1]
I feel I always have. I think I've always kind of,
00:20:55,584 --> 00:20:59,584 [Speaker 1]
for the most part, have followed that guidance of the blue light. Mm.
00:21:02,364 --> 00:21:05,444 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. There was some points I feel like when I was maybe, like,
00:21:06,764 --> 00:21:10,664 [Speaker 1]
in high school and maybe struggled to kind of hear that and kind of follow that.
00:21:11,304 --> 00:21:11,344 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:21:11,344 --> 00:21:13,144 [Speaker 1]
But I think overall, pretty much
00:21:14,904 --> 00:21:25,684 [Speaker 1]
one way or another, I connect back to that, or it reminds me of, like, okay, something needs to change or something I need to do. Um,
00:21:26,704 --> 00:21:30,104 [Speaker 1]
so I might not always get it, like, in the moment, but sometimes-
00:21:30,264 --> 00:21:30,764 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:21:30,764 --> 00:21:34,204 [Speaker 1]
... it will slowly come to me, and then I decide from there what to do.
00:21:36,124 --> 00:21:37,924 [Speaker 1]
Mm. And that's really what I think
00:21:39,084 --> 00:21:40,604 [Speaker 1]
as I think about it
00:21:41,644 --> 00:21:43,004 [Speaker 1]
these many years later. [laughs]
00:21:43,004 --> 00:21:45,344 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:21:45,384 --> 00:21:46,384 [Speaker 1]
But it's really just that
00:21:47,724 --> 00:21:50,704 [Speaker 1]
piece of yourself, right, your human self, and then also
00:21:53,724 --> 00:22:00,384 [Speaker 1]
your soul self talking to you and saying, "This is what you need," or, "This is what you have to do." Um,
00:22:03,464 --> 00:22:05,064 [Speaker 1]
yeah. But it's very different-
00:22:05,104 --> 00:22:05,104 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:22:05,104 --> 00:22:07,244 [Speaker 1]
... I think, for every person to understand-
00:22:07,284 --> 00:22:07,344 [Speaker 0]
Yes
00:22:07,344 --> 00:22:07,924 [Speaker 1]
... and feel.
00:22:08,784 --> 00:22:08,944 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:22:09,004 --> 00:22:13,824 [Speaker 1]
Um, just so people under- you know, know that, like, what I experience is not everybody else's experience.
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:14,844 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:22:14,924 --> 00:22:17,284 [Speaker 1]
Um, and that also I have, you know,
00:22:18,444 --> 00:22:23,024 [Speaker 1]
my grandmother's guidance, which I've had since, since the beginning. [laughs]
00:22:23,024 --> 00:22:24,924 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:28,004 [Speaker 1]
Um, but yeah. I, I think that's what it is for me. And
00:22:29,744 --> 00:22:35,324 [Speaker 1]
as I get older, right, those things become easier in the human experience. Um, I think in-
00:22:35,344 --> 00:22:35,504 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:22:35,504 --> 00:22:48,964 [Speaker 1]
... my soul self of being, I'm pretty quick. I, I understand it. My peeps get it. But then sometimes my human self can be a little... I'm a, I can be a very indecisive person. So sometimes I'm like, "Mm, are you sure about that?" [laughs]
00:22:48,964 --> 00:22:49,544 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:22:49,564 --> 00:23:18,244 [Speaker 1]
So that is where I think the human experience can get in there and say, like, you know, you can question yourself. Um, but yeah. And just kind of maybe to our audience of people that are listening, to just that blue light, right, and your, your little flux capacitor or your telling you, like, I hope you know that, like, the, it will never be wrong, all right? Sometimes you may feel like, "Is this right? Is this what needs to happen?" Because I'm someone that does that.
00:23:18,844 --> 00:23:19,184 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. [laughs]
00:23:19,184 --> 00:23:23,964 [Speaker 1]
Um, that's why I'm in both worlds at the same time. [laughs] Um, but it will never be wrong.
00:23:24,084 --> 00:23:26,984 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Thank you for that, because
00:23:28,524 --> 00:24:09,564 [Speaker 0]
[sighs] sometimes, you know, like, it feels like we... I don't know. There are times that, you know, our human conditioning, our human thoughts of being... I'm not talking about our soul divine thoughts, which is, is, is different, because it comes from the universal source of the all, the truth of that which is. And then we have this human thing where it seems to be that we feel we're away from our casita, you know? Like, we lost something. Yeah. And, and we can't lose our casita. [laughs] It's just impossible to lose it. Just like what you said, Juliana. You know, you said you had a rough spot there in, when you were in high school.
00:24:09,644 --> 00:24:09,644 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:24:09,644 --> 00:24:27,232 [Speaker 0]
And that's not too long ago, but it is long ago considering your age. You know, you may think you're super old, but, you know, you kind of look at 10... You know, that was, like, about 10 years ago, right? Yeah, nine years ago, something like that. And that is a long time.
00:24:27,232 --> 00:24:27,592 [Speaker 0]
And
00:24:30,092 --> 00:24:34,172 [Speaker 0]
what was it that brought you back home to your casita? Meaning, like,
00:24:35,492 --> 00:24:41,852 [Speaker 0]
uh, you know, like, oh, you knew it was there. I know you knew it was there 'cause I was there when it, you, you were going and struggling. But
00:24:42,972 --> 00:25:05,092 [Speaker 0]
how did you come back to yourself? How did you come back to that beautiful blue light within you? Because you could have said, "Eh, I don't..." I know in our brains we go, "Eh, there's no blue light. There's no flux capacitor." You know? "Oh, there's a sinus, but how is that sinus connected to anything? You know, I'm feeling like shit right now." Anyways, [laughs] you know, um, how'd you come back home to your casita?
00:25:08,252 --> 00:25:10,592 [Speaker 1]
I feel like a heavy one, but it's good. Um,
00:25:12,792 --> 00:25:21,992 [Speaker 1]
yeah, I think after all that, it was a struggle. And I feel like it kinda... 'Cause high school felt kinda dark, like a lot of my casita was-
00:25:22,052 --> 00:25:22,712 [Speaker 0]
Like the movie
00:25:22,712 --> 00:25:35,072 [Speaker 1]
... dark. Um, and it felt kinda like that and... [laughs] Yeah, it was like kind of like a cloudy storm, and it just kinda feels like it was hanging over me. Um,
00:25:38,512 --> 00:25:41,212 [Speaker 1]
I think kinda where I started to feel like
00:25:42,492 --> 00:25:52,492 [Speaker 1]
a shift maybe was kind of questioning myself and kind of what I wanted. Um, and that kinda ranged from a lot of things 'cause I was, like,
00:25:53,572 --> 00:25:54,692 [Speaker 1]
still quite young and, like,
00:25:55,812 --> 00:26:08,652 [Speaker 1]
going to college, but I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I kinda feel like exactly what I was talking about earlier, like a lot of going through the motions, not having very, like, a neutral position, right? Not feeling, like,
00:26:09,912 --> 00:26:34,692 [Speaker 1]
positive and feeling good about life, but not feeling, like, really down in the dumps or in, like, wa- wanting to do anything. It just was very, like, I just need to do this to get wherever I need to go. Um, and then when I started kinda questioning or having people kinda question, like, "What are you gonna do?" Or, like, "What do you wanna do?" And then I think that's when I really started to be like, "Well, what do I wanna do?" Like, "How do I figure that out?" Um,
00:26:36,012 --> 00:26:39,792 [Speaker 1]
or, "How do I want my future to look like?" 'Cause I don't think I really thought about it,
00:26:42,392 --> 00:26:45,852 [Speaker 1]
um, since maybe I was younger. Um,
00:26:47,092 --> 00:26:52,672 [Speaker 1]
and I think that's what it was. It was just like, "Huh, I didn't really think about, like, having a career or a family or
00:26:54,532 --> 00:26:57,932 [Speaker 1]
what I wanted beyond, like, school." And I think school-
00:26:58,132 --> 00:26:58,152 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:26:58,152 --> 00:27:03,012 [Speaker 1]
... you know, what you're, you're told what to do for so many parts of your life. And I think that's kinda where,
00:27:04,372 --> 00:27:38,132 [Speaker 1]
for me, that was like, "Oh, I guess I can make my own decisions about this." So then I think I started to look more towards myself. Um, and that was definitely some trial and error being young and, like, trying to figure out, like, my tribe and people to be with, and then working out with, like, different jobs and seeing like, "Oh, I don't really like this, but I really like this." Um, and all right, that led me to teaching. And then finding friends that I really love and trust now and that I really stick with and that know me rather than people that I would, like, mask myself for. Um-
00:27:39,052 --> 00:27:39,112 [Speaker 0]
Mm
00:27:39,112 --> 00:28:15,652 [Speaker 1]
... finding my now husband that, like, literally I would never think I would have a husband, but someone that fully sees me and knows the work that I do. And, like, what my Gigi and my grandma was talking about, like, with when you find someone that aligns so beautifully with, like, what you picture in your life and you can go anywhere with that, it's like that's more, you know, more than anything that I could ever ask for. So as I kinda look back, right, almost, like, 10 years, like, the timeline of my life, it's like, "Oh, I really was listening to that blue light." And, like, it led me to this beautiful life that I have right now. [laughs] And-
00:28:15,712 --> 00:28:16,852 [Speaker 0]
Right
00:28:16,852 --> 00:28:23,812 [Speaker 1]
... I was having this moment of self-reflection 'cause, you know, we were talking about this casita thing recently, and I was like, "Wow."
00:28:24,952 --> 00:28:51,892 [Speaker 1]
I felt, like, a little bit of guilt, right? 'Cause a lot of things that had happened recently and my personal stuff, like, in my life, and I was like, "I feel so bad about, like, focusing on my life and building my career and, like, building everything." And then I kinda just sat down and was like, "No, because this is what my family allowed me to build." It, it allowed me to become this person. And if it wasn't for them, then, like,
00:28:53,652 --> 00:28:58,392 [Speaker 1]
I don't think I would've had those opportunities, and I don't regret the opportunities that I did. Um,
00:29:01,312 --> 00:29:04,692 [Speaker 1]
so it may be a little long-winded for me to talk about [laughs] all this-
00:29:04,752 --> 00:29:04,752 [Speaker 0]
No
00:29:04,752 --> 00:29:06,092 [Speaker 1]
... but it was just kind of like-
00:29:07,092 --> 00:29:07,672 [Speaker 0]
No, it's good
00:29:07,672 --> 00:29:23,772 [Speaker 1]
... really how much, yeah, that, that blue light really has been there. And it's just, it doesn't go away, right? It doesn't just, like, disappear when you are going through a really challenging time. Um, it just may be a little bit quieter, and you just gotta be willing to, like,
00:29:25,172 --> 00:29:30,032 [Speaker 1]
ask the questions. Or that's for me, that's what I started with, was asking the right questions
00:29:31,772 --> 00:29:50,412 [Speaker 1]
and being able to go and, like, look at myself 'cause, like, it can be hard sometimes to be like, "What do I need?" Um, and it's hard to feel like, is that selfish? And it's like, no. It's, it's this is your journey, and this is yourself. It... And no one else is gonna do it for you. [laughs]
00:29:50,532 --> 00:30:53,892 [Speaker 0]
Exactly. No, that's great. That's beautiful, mija, because it's so true. You're a little blue light. And it is, it's this little beacon, right? And what you're talking about, what you're sharing is the soul listening. I go back to that every single time. That's about listening to the soul self of being. It's, it's actually on our, on the schoolwithoutwalls.net. I'm just saying, go there and, and, and listen to the soul listening. Look at, I think there's a PDF on it. If not, but listen to it because it really does share with you, there's these vibrations of being where it's so human to be busy-minded and, oh, definitely judging ourselves or going to school and paying attention to every word somebody says and thinking we're listening. But- It... When we internalize that, when we, when we look at ourselves and we go, "Okay, I'm gonna pay attention to every thought that goes through my head. No, no, don't do that." [laughs] Or, "I'm gonna, I'm gonna, like, every thought that goes through my head, I'm gonna, like, oh my God, judge it. Oh my gosh, no."
00:30:53,892 --> 00:30:54,232 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:30:54,252 --> 00:30:56,092 [Speaker 0]
You know? Or... [laughs]
00:30:56,092 --> 00:30:56,172 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:30:56,192 --> 00:31:20,412 [Speaker 0]
And then the busy mind comes in, like, "No, I gotta go do this and I gotta go do that." And, you know, all of a sudden we're, like, moving all over the place. And there's this beautiful soul listening at which is that which is true, that has its divine thought, divine heart, divine, you know, mind, all of those divineness that are just is pure. There is no human thought there.
00:31:21,072 --> 00:31:21,492 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:31:21,492 --> 00:31:59,692 [Speaker 0]
I was, uh, talking to someone this morning and, and she was talking about she gets this inspiration while she's doing some... She was cooking and she got this inspiration about doing some project. And I go, "Well, you go, girl." And she goes, "What is this?" Because you're, you're, maybe you're, maybe you're, like, cooking something that you cook all the time, so it gives your brain to relax, right? Yeah. You're not... Maybe it's you're not judging what you're cooking. Yeah. And this may sound really weird, but I've mentioned it before, I do sometimes my own... I mean, not my own, but I, when I scrubbing toilets when I can-
00:31:59,692 --> 00:32:00,492 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:32:00,492 --> 00:32:05,272 [Speaker 0]
... [laughs] 'cause I have a, uh, my back's kind of been fun- funky lately. But, you know, like, okay,
00:32:06,472 --> 00:32:16,952 [Speaker 0]
uh, it's a menial, menials, that's how you say that job, and I'm not thinking of anything, just, "Oh, let me get this toilet clean." And all of a sudden I come up with all these great ideas-
00:32:16,952 --> 00:32:17,472 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:32:17,472 --> 00:32:29,932 [Speaker 0]
... or, "Oh my gosh, I need to..." You know, like, things that I love to do. It's because the mind is just doing something that is non-whatever. So the soul self, the soul listening goes, "Hey, Julia."
00:32:31,912 --> 00:32:41,232 [Speaker 0]
Right? Yeah. And that, that's your blue light behind your ears that you're... It's talking to us 24/7, literally. But we have choice,
00:32:42,372 --> 00:32:45,232 [Speaker 0]
uh, whether we wanna listen to it or not. Yeah?
00:32:46,352 --> 00:32:51,832 [Speaker 0]
So I'm curious, and I'm gonna ask this for both of us, how... You know, like,
00:32:53,392 --> 00:33:10,052 [Speaker 0]
what does it actually look like day-to-day to care for our little casitas? Is it a practice, a posture, actually boundaries? And, a- and the next... I'm gonna ask a bunch of questions here. And who's allowed to visit your casita and who decides that? [snorts] [laughs]
00:33:10,052 --> 00:33:10,192 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:33:10,392 --> 00:33:12,032 [Speaker 0]
That was a good question. [laughs]
00:33:12,112 --> 00:33:14,612 [Speaker 1]
That's some good... Yeah. Who's allowed really well.
00:33:15,532 --> 00:33:15,732 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:33:17,172 --> 00:33:18,512 [Speaker 1]
Day-to-day, ooh.
00:33:20,472 --> 00:33:20,732 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:33:20,792 --> 00:33:22,172 [Speaker 1]
That's a... Hmm.
00:33:23,392 --> 00:33:26,552 [Speaker 1]
I think you already started a little bit of that conversation of day-to-day-
00:33:26,732 --> 00:33:26,752 [Speaker 0]
Uh-huh
00:33:26,752 --> 00:33:27,832 [Speaker 1]
... right? Just having-
00:33:29,612 --> 00:33:29,612 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:33:29,612 --> 00:33:31,572 [Speaker 1]
... the conversation with your casita,
00:33:32,632 --> 00:33:40,552 [Speaker 1]
um, and those, like, little mundane tasks. 'Cause for me it's definitely, like, what people say, right, your shower thoughts when you're, like, in-
00:33:40,612 --> 00:33:40,732 [Speaker 0]
Yes
00:33:40,732 --> 00:33:44,832 [Speaker 1]
... the shower. Um, laundry is another one for me sometimes. [laughs]
00:33:44,912 --> 00:33:45,292 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:33:45,312 --> 00:33:45,372 [Speaker 1]
Um-
00:33:45,392 --> 00:33:47,012 [Speaker 0]
Yeah, endless laundry. Mm-hmm.
00:33:47,052 --> 00:34:03,072 [Speaker 1]
Endless laundry. Um, taking a walk sometimes. I'll take a walk, not during it. Usually during it I'm like, "Ugh," like, just a lot of emotions. And then I leave and I'm like, "Oh, wow, I feel so much better." And then I have, like, all these, like, this flow s- I call it, like, the flow state. Um,
00:34:04,152 --> 00:34:08,132 [Speaker 1]
sometimes it can be simple. Like, I don't know. I, maybe this could be a little...
00:34:09,332 --> 00:34:10,652 [Speaker 1]
I don't know if it's off, but
00:34:12,832 --> 00:34:23,652 [Speaker 1]
it's... 'Cause I talk about a flow state and I feel like that's a very popular little, like, buzzword right now. And when I think of the flow state, sometimes it happens, like,
00:34:25,212 --> 00:34:32,232 [Speaker 1]
maybe this is to me in a way taking a day-to-day care of it, right, is, like, when I get in sync with
00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:37,452 [Speaker 1]
my husband or, like, one of my friends or family members and we just kinda go and, like,
00:34:38,652 --> 00:34:43,032 [Speaker 1]
we know what the other person's doing and it just feels like we're hearing each other's
00:34:44,472 --> 00:34:44,932 [Speaker 1]
thoughts.
00:34:45,952 --> 00:34:53,852 [Speaker 1]
Like, "Oh, you do this, do that. Let's go here. Let's go do this." And then it's like everything just aligns. You're like... Let's say we're doing,
00:34:55,311 --> 00:35:02,372 [Speaker 1]
cleaning the house. It's like, "Oh, go do this, go do that," without even saying anything to each other. We just know what, like, we maneuver and go around each other. Or, like-
00:35:02,452 --> 00:35:02,652 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:35:02,652 --> 00:35:12,332 [Speaker 1]
... when we go out and have, like... We go out and have a nice meal with one of your friends or family members and then just like, "Oh, the food was so good." And then you go to-
00:35:12,352 --> 00:35:12,372 [Speaker 0]
Mm
00:35:12,372 --> 00:35:15,332 [Speaker 1]
... the store and then you're like, "Oh, I found everything I needed." So it's like-
00:35:15,332 --> 00:35:16,452 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:35:16,452 --> 00:35:17,832 [Speaker 1]
... that kind of feeling, right? Uh-
00:35:17,952 --> 00:35:17,952 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:35:17,952 --> 00:35:23,072 [Speaker 1]
... I think that's also a day-to-day where it's like, "Oh, that was a very successful day," but really it was just, like-
00:35:23,992 --> 00:35:24,072 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:35:24,072 --> 00:35:34,152 [Speaker 1]
... listening to that little blue light [laughs] and you were just, like, present with it, rather than just like, "Oh my gosh, I need to do this. I need to do my 10 hundred errands, da, da, da." Like-
00:35:34,432 --> 00:35:34,612 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:35:34,612 --> 00:35:40,732 [Speaker 1]
... um, or, "Oh my gosh, this, I hate cleaning and it's making me nervous and da, da, da, da." So, like... [laughs]
00:35:40,752 --> 00:35:41,172 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:35:41,172 --> 00:35:42,432 [Speaker 1]
These are, these are my some of my-
00:35:42,452 --> 00:35:42,792 [Speaker 0]
I hear you
00:35:42,792 --> 00:35:43,812 [Speaker 1]
... real thoughts. So-
00:35:43,932 --> 00:35:44,892 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:35:44,972 --> 00:35:47,072 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. You know what I mean? So I think that's-
00:35:47,092 --> 00:35:47,252 [Speaker 0]
Uh-huh
00:35:47,252 --> 00:36:06,212 [Speaker 1]
... kind of what I was also thinking of day-to-day, because sometimes for me it's like I'm very, like, I love my tribe and my people and my community, so sometimes that day-to-day care is, like, with somebody else. And that will just give me that... It fills up my cup, right? It gives back to me and it,
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:13,732 [Speaker 1]
it's something I've done since forever. And so I guess I would say it's, like, a little bit of a practice, right? It takes time to-
00:36:13,792 --> 00:36:13,912 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:36:13,912 --> 00:36:17,452 [Speaker 1]
... get there with somebody and trust. Um,
00:36:19,352 --> 00:36:20,812 [Speaker 1]
and obviously a boundary, right?
00:36:21,452 --> 00:36:21,552 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:36:21,552 --> 00:36:30,972 [Speaker 1]
Meaning having those boundaries set with each other or having, like, maybe no boundaries, a little bit less boundaries and being able to be like, "Okay, let's do this." Um-
00:36:31,132 --> 00:36:32,812 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. I like that.
00:36:32,832 --> 00:36:33,212 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. That's right.
00:36:34,372 --> 00:36:36,172 [Speaker 0]
I love it. Yeah, no, I hear you.
00:36:36,172 --> 00:36:36,292 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:36:36,372 --> 00:36:51,752 [Speaker 0]
Um, no, i- i- it's a, it's a- It's not a, like, a, a to-do list. That's the part that people think about. I call it Chichi soul time, right? Yeah. And it, it, it... and it's not, "Oh, I need to do this and I need to do that." Um,
00:36:54,572 --> 00:37:03,392 [Speaker 0]
it's not a list we make. And you sharing, okay, my endless laundry or doing the dishes, that's, I guess, is what they call mindful, you know,
00:37:05,092 --> 00:37:19,672 [Speaker 0]
mindfulness. Mindfulness, yeah, kind of deal. 'Cause the flow is the flow, mija. That's, that word's been around for so long. And the, and the best... Uh, you know, but it comes back and forth because the flow,
00:37:20,752 --> 00:37:44,312 [Speaker 0]
the only thing I could think of is that emulated that, another movie, another kid's movie, Finding Nemo, when those, uh, uh- ... those Honus, those turtles got the Australian stream and they were, like, hanging 10 and they get off and they goes, "What are you doing?" "Oh, we're just riding the stream, you know, all the way to Australia. Woo-hoo!" You know, hanging 10, you know? [laughs]
00:37:44,352 --> 00:37:45,492 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:37:46,072 --> 00:38:05,572 [Speaker 0]
But, you know... Yeah, yeah, with that turtle, he just, you know, that... He just looked at it, Nemo or whoever it was, and he just said, "Yeah, come on. You wanna, you wanna join us? Come on into the stream. Come into the flow." Right? Yeah. So that's what it feels like. Yeah, you could get on or off. I, I know for a fact, because we're human,
00:38:06,772 --> 00:38:10,492 [Speaker 0]
we, when we're in a space of overwhelm,
00:38:11,952 --> 00:38:27,692 [Speaker 0]
right, we believe those thoughts that aren't real. I mean, they can be real, but you shared it, we both shared it, you know, the past, the future, we get caught up in it. We can get caught up in the future of what is this, what is that, what is that, you know, so on.
00:38:29,052 --> 00:38:54,832 [Speaker 0]
And in the stillness and, and being still and getting quiet, then we hear that which we need to do. And it almost always is a surprise to us, isn't it? It's like, "Oh my gosh, there it is. Oh my gosh, there it is." Yeah? 'Cause everything and everyone is in place, but only in the m- and in the moment, not only, but in the moment of time and space. Not in the past, in our history, or not in the future. And, um,
00:38:55,852 --> 00:39:01,472 [Speaker 0]
yeah, it's... [sighs] That's what everybody's been saying since the beginning of time. Yeah? Uh,
00:39:02,632 --> 00:39:14,892 [Speaker 0]
the next one here is you, you mentioned it, what you were sharing, depending on, you know, sometimes I wanna be with my friends and sometimes, you know, I need the boundaries there and sometimes I don't need the boundaries there. And
00:39:15,972 --> 00:39:18,992 [Speaker 0]
th- this next thing I'd like to touch on, and it's something
00:39:20,352 --> 00:39:30,392 [Speaker 0]
that it took me a long time, uh, to, you know, like, I don't know. It's an art form, I think. Um, I love being around people.
00:39:31,472 --> 00:39:38,772 [Speaker 0]
I really love people in, in deep ways. I'm very curious about humans and how we do life.
00:39:39,992 --> 00:40:39,832 [Speaker 0]
So Mavis Kern, one of my, uh, beautiful human people that helped me kind of see who I be. You know, she was one of the first few peoples that saw me and said, "Oh, I see the work you do. I don't understand all of it, but I, I see." And I was struggling. This is, has to be, uh, 30 years ago, 'cause I've known her, like, 35 years or something. And she asked... And I was having a really challenging time with boundaries and, uh, and being grounded and t- sharing some certain things with her about this, that, and whatever. And she said, "Okay..." Uh, you know, even in the nonphysical realm, things were happening and, and she goes, again, she goes, "I don't understand any of that, what you just shared, but I b- you know, I totally believe you. There's not... I know who you are." Said, "Okay." She goes, "I have a question, though. You're in your house. You're in your..." She didn't say casita. "You're in your casita." Okay, so this is the nonphysical, right? Yeah. "You're in your casita." But she's talking about the physical. And she said, um, "And somebody knocks at the door. Do you just open the door and invite them in?"
00:40:39,832 --> 00:40:41,012 [Speaker 1]
[chuckles]
00:40:41,012 --> 00:40:43,612 [Speaker 0]
And I go, "No." [laughs] I mean-
00:40:43,672 --> 00:40:43,832 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm
00:40:43,832 --> 00:40:53,492 [Speaker 0]
... the answer was so fast. "No, I don't." She goes, "Then Julia, again, I don't understand everything you do, but are you supposed to let every entity
00:40:54,732 --> 00:40:55,952 [Speaker 0]
into your space
00:40:57,211 --> 00:41:46,172 [Speaker 0]
just because they come and present themselves to, selves to you?" And I said, "Oh my God." [laughs] Well, praise the Lord and hallelujah, Jesus, right? [laughs] 'Cause it stuck with me because I thought, "Oh my goodness." So then that's when I really start looking at my little casita on, you know, really looking at it and saying, "Okay, Jules, you, you check this out." So if this dense frequency comes in, you have choice. You don't have to let it in. Yeah. So I get to make the choice. I, I pref- prefer to have people... Uh, not prefer. I want to be in a place where there's love and, and compassion and folks doing their best being in this world. No one has to be perfect. Yeah?
00:41:47,232 --> 00:42:06,872 [Speaker 0]
It's like my food. I know it sounds off, but I don't go to any restaurant where there's... the cooks are yelling at each other. I really check out who is behi- who's cooking the food, even in my own little casita in the physical realm. If somebody's pissed off and angry, I will not consume their food. I do not want their food,
00:42:08,092 --> 00:42:35,532 [Speaker 0]
because all it has is piss and vinegar. Yeah? I want people to, you know, like, I, uh, I want, I want, I want, but I mean, [laughs] what I wanna invite into my life are the, the, the, the light of the frequency of being, of love. I get it. You know, people are in bad moods and things like that. But I have choice who I allow into my sphere or not, right? So yeah. How about yourself? I think you mentioned it, um,
00:42:37,012 --> 00:42:42,672 [Speaker 0]
about... You were talking about boundaries and things like that. Boundaries are important, being grounded.
00:42:43,532 --> 00:42:44,332 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm.
00:42:44,392 --> 00:42:45,960 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,600 [Speaker 0]
Do, do you wanna add something to that? Just curious.
00:42:49,740 --> 00:42:53,940 [Speaker 1]
Hmm. No, that's good, 'cause yeah, it's something that I have been
00:42:55,780 --> 00:42:58,040 [Speaker 1]
also working on as someone that's just...
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,060 [Speaker 1]
I really love and care for people so much, and I really try to
00:43:06,780 --> 00:43:13,700 [Speaker 1]
see and understand the, you know, like the best, right, in people. And sometimes that can lead me to
00:43:14,740 --> 00:43:16,560 [Speaker 1]
trust a little too much in people-
00:43:16,620 --> 00:43:16,820 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:43:16,820 --> 00:43:22,200 [Speaker 1]
... and in things, right? So then I... it can lead to me feeling like, oh no, maybe this is...
00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:30,160 [Speaker 1]
Um, to maybe question a boundary maybe that I would have or I should put in place.
00:43:30,820 --> 00:43:31,640 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:43:31,660 --> 00:43:36,220 [Speaker 1]
Yeah, I think sometimes boundaries are very important and that, um,
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:40,620 [Speaker 1]
we need them because I know for me that it's, like,
00:43:41,940 --> 00:43:52,940 [Speaker 1]
exactly what you just said, Gigi, that you shouldn't be letting just anybody into your casita because it's for you, right? And if someone's going to disrespect that or not
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,780 [Speaker 1]
care for it or give you anything that is out of love or compassion, then-
00:43:59,400 --> 00:43:59,680 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:19,480 [Speaker 1]
... there's no need for it. So it took me some time to see that, and I think it can be... And as someone, like I mentioned, right, as a sensitive, sometimes those things can come on to me without even knowing. Um, and someone that didn't even know that, like, oh, I can put a boundary between myself and this person, Stardust. Um,
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:21,860 [Speaker 1]
so yes, I would
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,720 [Speaker 1]
make sure that we're practicing and having... uh, like practicing good boundaries and having...
00:44:30,180 --> 00:44:35,680 [Speaker 1]
being firm in that and saying in that. And I'm also saying this for myself too as someone that's still kind of, like,
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,340 [Speaker 1]
reworking how to have...
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:43,800 [Speaker 1]
not to take in so much from other people, Stardust. [laughs]
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:50,880 [Speaker 0]
Exactly, right? No, that, that is, that is so true. It, it... You know, there's that, um,
00:44:52,180 --> 00:45:12,940 [Speaker 0]
saying way back when, uh, by... when you were growing up, it takes a village to raise a child or whatever. And, and I'm like, it doesn't stop with childhood. It, it continues into the adult. I still need my village, my tribe, my community, uh, to be part of me because I, I,
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,980 [Speaker 0]
I think I'm saying I a lot, [laughs] but my choice is, um,
00:45:19,620 --> 00:45:27,920 [Speaker 0]
my choice is to be here present and be with others with boundaries and being able to
00:45:29,340 --> 00:45:32,000 [Speaker 0]
have a good grounding-ness, yeah?
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:42,440 [Speaker 0]
I wanted to, to bring in this because if somebody's listening to this and, and it just came to me right now, and they're in a relationship that isn't healthy, yeah,
00:45:45,480 --> 00:46:06,980 [Speaker 0]
what I'm gonna share with you is please get the professional help that you need. I love doing these, these, these episodes, this podcast, truly do. But at the same time, again, uh, I have a human therapist that I call up every now and then. Well, at, like, sometimes more than once, you know, like [laughs] more than, more than every now and then. And, um,
00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:14,600 [Speaker 0]
that human therapist has helped me to understand certain things about the human existence. Now, the nonphysical,
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:24,980 [Speaker 0]
I'm, like, really cool because there's no right or wrong, meaning there's no... nothing's bad or good in that realm of being. There's only dense frequency and, and
00:46:26,140 --> 00:46:50,360 [Speaker 0]
medium frequency and fine, beautiful, unconditional love. But not everybody understands that. And there are humans that have the tendency to think that one, one is kind and, and loving and generous with their time. Uh, some people take advantage of that, and some people don't know they're doing it, and some people actually do know they're doing it. So it's a good thing to have,
00:46:51,440 --> 00:47:03,640 [Speaker 0]
you know, the support that you need, whether it's a human therapist or, um, a group of folks that help you see what you need to see within yourselves, yeah? Because this is not a, a, a one,
00:47:05,420 --> 00:47:06,180 [Speaker 0]
a person job.
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:07,900 [Speaker 0]
No,
00:47:09,340 --> 00:47:46,100 [Speaker 0]
it isn't. I, I, you know... Trust me, I've tried to do it by myself. Doesn't work. [laughs] Yeah. Your, your guides, your angels, your ancestors are there for you 24/7. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the human stuff that we can't... we, we actually start going, "Are they really there?" Uh, I could tell you stories from way back when, when I used to go, "Really?" [laughs] And then things would happen, and I'd go, "I don't ask that question anymore." And I would go, "Why do I keep j-..." [laughs] I mean, like, I see things all the time, [laughs] you know? So, but it, it helps to bring your community in all the time, yeah.
00:47:46,180 --> 00:48:03,340 [Speaker 1]
Yeah. We're talking about, like, the full self of being, but also making sure that you tending care to, like, your human self. Um, and that's kind of what we're describing here, that it's, like, making sure if you need that support, being able to get that and find that for yourself.
00:48:03,340 --> 00:48:19,160 [Speaker 0]
We talked about at the beginning and some of the small things that we could do on a weekly basis, uh, to, you know, tend to our little casitas. We need to tend to them. We don't... It's not something like, "Oh, I remember I have a casita within me. Now I better do something." You know, it's more like,
00:48:20,220 --> 00:48:22,380 [Speaker 0]
um, what's the tending we do?
00:48:23,380 --> 00:48:27,320 [Speaker 1]
For me, or at least so when I'm thinking about it, is doing things that
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:36,260 [Speaker 1]
is what my grandma describes as, like, coming back home to yourself. Um, and in this case, right, it would be coming back,
00:48:38,020 --> 00:48:39,900 [Speaker 1]
back to your casita. Um,
00:48:41,660 --> 00:48:51,320 [Speaker 1]
and for me, it can be different things. It's, like, it changes on the day or changes on the week. So sometimes it can be, like-
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:58,320 [Speaker 1]
I just hear this, uh, it is my blue light, and be like, "I need some sun. I need to just sit outside and get some sun."
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:06,520 [Speaker 1]
And then I can just feel it, like, all everywhere, just being like, "Ah, this is what I needed." Um,
00:49:08,460 --> 00:49:40,880 [Speaker 1]
like, you know, physical, doing things physical, so, like, things like that, right? Going outside and going for walks or, right, sports. I know people are really connected to that, so I think of that, like, the physical movement. Um, [smacks lips] like an emotional thing, right? Something that allows you, if you're sad, then to, like, allow yourself to cry, right? Sometimes for me, it's like going through, like, moments of grief and sadness. It's like sometimes I just need to cry, and then
00:49:42,420 --> 00:49:44,800 [Speaker 1]
that's when I can hear my casita, if that makes sense.
00:49:45,460 --> 00:49:46,240 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:49:46,260 --> 00:49:53,860 [Speaker 1]
It's like all that emotion's being held up, and then I'm, like, all of a sudden just have this moment of crying. And it could be like, yes, for me, but sometimes you, like,
00:49:55,060 --> 00:50:05,480 [Speaker 1]
watch, like, a movie or something and then it gets you going, um, or listen to music or talk to someone. Um, [smacks lips] other things I think of is, like,
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:28,780 [Speaker 1]
for me, I have a lot of, like... Uh, and I'm sure many people can relate to, like, the thoughts and, like, the mental kind of s- blocks. Um, and for me, that's writing and just putting it somewhere that I can physically see it. Um, [smacks lips] and for different people, that's a way to just unwind. We talk about a lot of unwinding in SWOW, about, like...
00:50:30,260 --> 00:50:39,900 [Speaker 1]
Then when that starts to clear, right, that fog that I kind of mentioned earlier over your casita, then that's when it starts to become clearer. Um, so maybe in, like...
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,160 [Speaker 1]
Maybe for people that are... I know for me sometimes, I like the vi- the visualization of it,
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:53,400 [Speaker 1]
is think of how your casita is maybe clouded or feeling kind of dark, and, like, you're like, "Where are the lights?" So-
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:53,640 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:58,980 [Speaker 1]
... you need to kind of find the things [laughs] that bring you back to the light, right? And then-
00:50:59,020 --> 00:50:59,640 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:19,560 [Speaker 1]
... when you start looking for that, going back to the light that's within you, that's when you'll hear it. Um, and that's really what my JuJu's trying to tell us, that, like, it's always there. It's not gone. It's never gonna be wrong. Um, you are perfect and whole as you are. Um, it's just when...
00:51:21,180 --> 00:51:27,120 [Speaker 1]
Right? And it happens to all of us, when that human experience comes through and we think not... Um,
00:51:28,460 --> 00:51:29,520 [Speaker 1]
yeah. That's-
00:51:29,580 --> 00:51:29,640 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:30,280 [Speaker 1]
... that's the be-
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:30,440 [Speaker 0]
Yeah
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,660 [Speaker 1]
... best way I can describe it.
00:51:32,480 --> 00:53:26,880 [Speaker 0]
Mm. I love that. No, thank you. I love that. I... It's, it's so personal. Everyone's little blue light, their little casita is so personal and what you do, but I do know this going out. I have a dog, Nava, and he makes me go outside when he sees me. And I... Those of you that have dogs, uh, uh, maybe cats too, I don't know if they really like to go outside as much as dogs do, but he'll, he'll get in a routine, like, "You get your butt out here. It is nice and purdy. You get out there and I feel great." And then one of my favorite things that I love to do, and it's called a wind bath. And, and that's also on our website. We have something on there talking about a wind bath. And I shared that with someone a long time ago, and, and they looked at me funny. And I said, "What's the matter?" It was, um, a, a, a male, a, a man. And I s- and he goes, "Are you, you gonna get into a what?" I go, "A wind bath." He goes, "You gonna get naked and go outside and let the wind..." I said, "No." [laughs] I guess, you know, he was thinking about a bath, right? And I go, "No, no, I keep my clothes on." [laughs] And I call the wind and I, and I just feel the wind or a little breeze or whatever, and I just go to the four directions and allow, you know, like invite, not allow, invite my ancestors, my guides and so on, to bless me with their wind or swipe me, get a good cleansing with the wind to release all the stuff that I've been holding in my human existence, 'cause we are made of stardust, right? And so there's so much we cannot see with the human eyes that we can feel with our bodies. And it just, ah, it brings me so much, as you can see, it brings me so much joy and relief. And you know what, Juliana? Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I laugh. Sometimes I just go, "Ah." You know, it's like the best meal I could ever have. That's me, yeah? Somebody else-
00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:26,940 [Speaker 1]
Yeah
00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:28,900 [Speaker 0]
... might say, "Oh, heck no. Yeah."
00:53:28,900 --> 00:53:29,100 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:34,100 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. No, no, no, I don't wanna do that. I don't care clothed or unclothed, I don't wanna do no wind bath, right? Yeah.
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:34,600 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:53:34,620 --> 00:54:08,660 [Speaker 0]
Yeah. So just, just, you know, think of you, those of you that are listening, think of you, f- what, what brings you solace, what brings you happiness, what holds that space for you, because our brain will continually try to keep us safe. And it's not about throwing away thoughts. Those thoughts just keep coming and going. Just let 'em run their course and let them be. But you could al- It, it's not about interrupting them either. Did I just say that? But, you know, it's about just being and going, "Oh gosh, that's a nasty thought." 'Cause I, I'm just gonna tell you, sometimes I have thoughts that I know I, I have no idea where they came from. [laughs]
00:54:08,660 --> 00:54:08,960 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:54:08,980 --> 00:54:10,140 [Speaker 0]
That's all I can say.
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:10,560 [Speaker 1]
Yeah.
00:54:10,580 --> 00:54:16,180 [Speaker 0]
And I get, I get upset and I go... My peeps are going, "Why are you getting upset about a thought, a random thought?" And I go, "I don't know-
00:54:16,260 --> 00:54:16,280 [Speaker 1]
Yeah
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,080 [Speaker 0]
... but that's, that's a weird thing."
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:18,420 [Speaker 1]
[laughs]
00:54:18,460 --> 00:55:11,348 [Speaker 0]
I never even... How would I even think of that? Did I watch a movie that... No, no, stop thinking about it. Stop analyzing. Let it go. Remember, Julia, soul listening. Shh, quiet. It's good. Let it go. Adios, aloha, and all that good stuff, right, Mia? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, so I would love to share... You know, you folks, this is the Indigenous Wisdom podcast, and actually, we have so many cool things. I've mentioned them, so many offerings at SWOW. Check us out at theschoolofthewolves.net. One of the really cool ones, um, I'd like to share this dragonfly, 'cause I pull a card every time I do an episode, uh, then, and then we'll close it up. But I would like to share with you folks what came up. And, uh, and I'm gonna read it. Like, a sleeping dragonfly. Resting.
00:55:13,568 --> 00:55:18,488 [Speaker 0]
Rest in your sleep of self and lie still in your being.
00:55:19,508 --> 00:55:24,248 [Speaker 0]
The awaken of you is soon to come into you.
00:55:25,388 --> 00:55:33,568 [Speaker 0]
Shh. Continue the sleep of you. Know that the how will show itself
00:55:34,688 --> 00:55:36,528 [Speaker 0]
in the night of day.
00:55:37,688 --> 00:55:38,288 [Speaker 0]
Amen.
00:55:40,668 --> 00:55:52,308 [Speaker 0]
So if you could look at this, continue the sleep of you, what it's sharing there, I love this, how these dragonflies work. What it's saying is, let your human self, shh, be still,
00:55:53,868 --> 00:56:26,968 [Speaker 0]
and know that the how will show itself in the night of day. And, and, uh, somebody goes, "What's the night of day?" When I channeled this, I was telling Juliana, I said, "Night of, night of day," meaning that at night there's a lot of stillness. We, we feel things, we see things, right, in the night of day. So in that night, the day will show itself. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it's about shh, the you of you. The how will show up in the night of day. Hmm. Amen. Juliana, any closing thoughts?
00:56:27,368 --> 00:56:33,088 [Speaker 1]
No. Um, and just kind of, you know, we shared our thoughts and just kind of like
00:56:35,268 --> 00:56:37,428 [Speaker 1]
tending to your own casita. I hope that you
00:56:38,948 --> 00:56:42,588 [Speaker 1]
find solace in this podcast or this episode, and
00:56:43,908 --> 00:56:46,648 [Speaker 1]
that you take some time for your own casita and just
00:56:47,848 --> 00:56:54,928 [Speaker 1]
get back to it. Um, and I know I will do the same. So thank you for this conversation as always, and
00:56:56,168 --> 00:56:59,368 [Speaker 1]
for this space and allowing us to share what we have.
00:57:00,348 --> 00:57:03,988 [Speaker 0]
Hmm. Oh, thank you, Juliana. And we're gonna have more. We have-
00:57:04,168 --> 00:57:04,308 [Speaker 1]
Mm-hmm
00:57:04,308 --> 00:57:14,828 [Speaker 0]
... more coming to you folks. And please, I mention this, hopefully folks, send us some questions. We'd love to answer them. We, I, I,
00:57:16,088 --> 00:57:27,508 [Speaker 0]
we look at all the emails, we look at all the questions. So send them our way and we shall do that. If we get enough of them, enough questions, Juliana and I would love to answer those questions.
00:57:30,708 --> 00:57:36,448 [Speaker 0]
Thank you, my g- [laughs] my beautiful granddaughter, Juliana, for this conversation.
00:57:38,308 --> 00:57:53,348 [Speaker 0]
Here's what we keep circling back to. Your casita never actually breaks, no matter how neglected or c- or crowded or dark it gets. It's just waiting for you to come back and tend to it.
00:57:54,948 --> 00:58:04,648 [Speaker 0]
That tending isn't a to-do list. [laughs] It's boundaries, you know, those energetic boundaries that move into the physical boundaries, yeah?
00:58:06,248 --> 00:58:08,708 [Speaker 0]
It's choosing who gets to walk through that door,
00:58:10,088 --> 00:58:13,548 [Speaker 0]
and it's the small, ordinary things,
00:58:16,068 --> 00:58:20,828 [Speaker 0]
el sol, the sun, a walk, a good cry, writing it down,
00:58:21,868 --> 00:58:25,288 [Speaker 0]
that lead us back to your own light of being.
00:58:28,308 --> 00:58:33,788 [Speaker 0]
And if what you're carrying is more than a casita can hold on its own,
00:58:35,468 --> 00:58:41,468 [Speaker 0]
then check this out, mijas and mijos, please get the professional support you need. Yes?
00:58:43,308 --> 00:58:45,708 [Speaker 0]
Porque no? Yeah? Why not?
00:58:47,748 --> 00:59:05,448 [Speaker 0]
And check this out also, another checkout. [laughs] If you have a question for Juliana or for me, send it to us at theschoolwithoutwalls.net. We read every one, and we might just talk about your question on a future J&J.
00:59:07,208 --> 00:59:12,668 [Speaker 0]
I would also like to share with you something that I find so much fun is the dragonflies.
00:59:14,168 --> 00:59:22,088 [Speaker 0]
Um, I pull a card every time I do a podcast, and today was purple dragonfly, and I wanna share this with you.
00:59:23,428 --> 00:59:26,068 [Speaker 0]
Purple dragonfly, divine one,
00:59:27,248 --> 00:59:38,068 [Speaker 0]
know we are going to protect you. Hold onto your love of yourself and you will see how life for you will be peaceful.
00:59:39,628 --> 00:59:46,168 [Speaker 0]
Let the universal life move through you in a way you have not allowed in the past.
00:59:47,388 --> 00:59:51,588 [Speaker 0]
Let your light be seen by you and all those around you.
00:59:52,748 --> 00:59:55,548 [Speaker 0]
In this, you will let it all go
00:59:56,928 --> 00:59:57,508 [Speaker 0]
past.
00:59:59,328 --> 00:59:59,928 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
01:00:01,628 --> 01:00:04,448 [Speaker 0]
Being in the moment in your little casita,
01:00:05,768 --> 01:00:11,048 [Speaker 0]
recognizing you as this loving whole being. Wow, right?
01:00:12,748 --> 01:00:22,508 [Speaker 0]
Mírale. Yo soy Julia Carmen. Muchas gracias for listening in. And you know what? There's more to come. Adios and amen.
01:01:01,488 --> 01:01:01,868 [Speaker 0]
