00:01:03.923 --> 00:01:08.516
Hello, welcome to the Conscious Choices for Wellness podcast.
00:01:08.516 --> 00:01:10.727
Thank you for being here today.
00:01:11.269 --> 00:01:20.034
I am joining you from my little home studio here in my temporary home.
00:01:20.515 --> 00:01:28.480
I'm hoping to get my next place that I will be in for longer finding out this week.
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.123
So I'm pretty excited about that, hoping that that is happening.
00:01:33.376 --> 00:01:44.335
as I have been in the in-between or the liminal space as we all have.
00:01:46.258 --> 00:01:54.993
as we all will experience at some point in our lives, maybe, you know, many times I think we're all on different paths.
00:01:55.176 --> 00:02:06.664
I am speaking about that today and I titled the podcast and the blog, Liminal Living, the space in between your next chapter.
00:02:07.645 --> 00:02:13.050
So I heard this mentioned just the term liminal space.
00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:17.201
uh on another podcast a few weeks back.
00:02:17.201 --> 00:02:25.545
And I took note of it because I was like, oh, well, I've totally been, I'm actually in this still right now and I've been living it.
00:02:25.545 --> 00:02:33.129
So uh it was someone speaking about how she was in this liminal space.
00:02:33.129 --> 00:02:50.640
Like she'd never known it before being displaced from the fires uh about a year ago from the LA fires last January and how just, you know, many people I'm sure that were in that anytime you're in a devastating.
00:02:50.640 --> 00:03:10.937
ah a devastating catastrophe and your whole life just blows up like suddenly you definitely are going to find yourself in liminal space living and like what the fuck.
00:03:11.218 --> 00:03:21.224
So living in the in-between, the unknown of what's one step ahead or even the confusion of what just happened leading you to where you have landed.
00:03:21.605 --> 00:03:25.187
Seemingly so sudden, but was it?
00:03:26.015 --> 00:03:30.395
may be in what we perceive as time.
00:03:31.975 --> 00:03:54.304
So yes, suddenly, like we don't have, you know, choices on if there's a catastrophe, like an earthquake or a fire, or even a flood sometimes, you know, like it can just happen so quickly that it will, you know, shake our whole life up and...
00:03:54.304 --> 00:04:02.943
hurricanes, know, like, I mean, your, whole living situation and your home and all of that.
00:04:02.943 --> 00:04:03.304
Okay.
00:04:03.304 --> 00:04:09.423
Let's just speak in, you know, where we are living in our home and feeling settled.
00:04:09.423 --> 00:04:12.403
So then that the rest of our life can happen, right?
00:04:12.403 --> 00:04:19.144
That's kind of like the first basic need is to have a roof over our head, to have a home that we feel safe in.
00:04:19.144 --> 00:04:36.069
And if all of that goes away, then everything else that we're dealing with in our life, our relationships, our career, you know, yeah, just everything else will have to be put aside too.
00:04:36.069 --> 00:04:44.033
And that will also change because we first need to have that basic need of having a home.
00:04:44.632 --> 00:04:51.216
So time traveled until wherever we currently stand.
00:04:57.898 --> 00:05:03.569
We are in this, you know, perception of a time of where we currently are.
00:05:03.569 --> 00:05:06.071
Some of us are watching the clock constantly.
00:05:06.071 --> 00:05:07.651
I am not a time watcher.
00:05:07.651 --> 00:05:09.959
I say that to people when I'm hanging out with them sometimes.
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.533
I'm like, I'm not a time watcher.
00:05:11.533 --> 00:05:19.437
ah If we need to be somewhere, you know, just kind of letting you know, maybe you should check the time.
00:05:19.477 --> 00:05:27.080
Cause I really only check the time if I do have an appointment, obviously, or if I have to be, you know, to a job.
00:05:27.116 --> 00:05:40.946
um, working for someone else, you know, even if you're working for yourself and you have an appointment and you have to be there to help someone else at a certain time, then yes, of course I need to watch the time because that's just the world we live in.
00:05:40.946 --> 00:05:45.749
But sometimes we end up feeling like what the fuck?
00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:58.185
Like life is a long strange trip, though ending up being too short in the midst of all that we could possibly accomplish while we're here.
00:05:58.706 --> 00:06:11.542
You know, I think uh it gets to a point in time where we realize, okay, I may only have X amount of years left.
00:06:11.542 --> 00:06:16.295
Like you really don't know ever how many days you have left here.
00:06:16.415 --> 00:06:24.701
But when you get to be my age and you know you've lived over half your life, maybe only have another 20, 30 years.
00:06:24.831 --> 00:06:31.624
ah then you're like, okay, what do I really want to accomplish?
00:06:31.624 --> 00:06:43.592
I don't want to call it the bucket list, but ah just, you know, things that you wanted to do and you only have so much more time to do.
00:06:43.997 --> 00:06:53.800
And it's just a time em in space when we're here on the planet uh that many of us will come.
00:06:53.800 --> 00:07:01.305
to face and then have to figure out, okay, like what's really important?
00:07:01.305 --> 00:07:03.227
What, you know, am I doing?
00:07:03.227 --> 00:07:07.330
um Am I in a job that I don't want to be in?
00:07:07.330 --> 00:07:10.391
Am I in a relationship I don't want to be in?
00:07:10.391 --> 00:07:14.354
And having to let go and make those changes, it's difficult.
00:07:14.354 --> 00:07:18.757
And I have much experience on this.
00:07:18.757 --> 00:07:22.879
I have had many transitions, twists and turns in my life.
00:07:23.016 --> 00:07:27.415
Right now I'm in a liminal space like I've never been in before.
00:07:27.415 --> 00:07:29.461
It's very, very different.
00:07:30.403 --> 00:07:41.734
So when we're feeling like our flow that we had been living in suddenly comes to a halt, landing in the middle of nowhere to begin again.
00:07:43.326 --> 00:07:51.062
This is me, by the way, right now, like I said, and I have been here before, but only differently.
00:07:51.463 --> 00:07:54.136
Even more of a wounded child back then.
00:07:54.136 --> 00:07:58.749
I have grown, I can tell that I am a different woman.
00:07:58.749 --> 00:08:07.486
ah I just, yeah, I'm really trying to do things differently than I've ever done before.
00:08:07.486 --> 00:08:10.699
So maybe I don't make the same mistakes.
00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:17.468
ah Maybe I make more intelligent conscious choices this time.
00:08:17.468 --> 00:08:32.322
It's really what I'm trying to honor myself in doing and taking things slower, my decision making, being closer to source and yeah, really tapping into my intuition.
00:08:32.402 --> 00:08:38.102
So the constant growth and growing up is the game of life.
00:08:38.663 --> 00:08:51.798
I really feel like We are in a game like a matrix of constant choices and moves that will create different.
00:08:51.798 --> 00:09:01.083
ah that will create different outcomes.
00:09:02.244 --> 00:09:06.764
So it is a game that we are living in.
00:09:06.764 --> 00:09:10.484
I heard another podcast last week on Know Thyself.
00:09:10.484 --> 00:09:17.303
I can't remember who he was speaking with, but this guy, he was actually a comedian.
00:09:17.644 --> 00:09:20.144
I'd actually like to watch some of his standup.
00:09:20.144 --> 00:09:22.484
Pretty sure he was a standup comedian.
00:09:22.624 --> 00:09:40.363
And he's just, you know, really into taking mind-altering substances to dive deep into transforming his life and his way of thinking and his way of being and his choices in this game of life that he calls it.
00:09:40.363 --> 00:09:49.500
It was a pretty interesting conversation, but I bet we're going to hear more and more people calling this life a game.
00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:53.520
I've been saying that this past year, that's just how I feel.
00:09:54.001 --> 00:10:00.879
So learning all the ways to get through all the twists and turns is a challenge for sure.
00:10:01.245 --> 00:10:04.075
Where is the opening to my next chapter?
00:10:04.075 --> 00:10:08.747
How should we choose to follow the opened paths?
00:10:09.647 --> 00:10:18.572
Falling deep in the abyss, AKA rock bottomness, can go many avenues depending on who we are.
00:10:19.141 --> 00:10:23.975
in that very moment, in that place and time.
00:10:24.776 --> 00:10:29.209
So yeah, it's interesting.
00:10:29.209 --> 00:10:31.591
It's fucking interesting out there.
00:10:31.591 --> 00:10:53.733
And I would say there's never a dull moment to, it's important to have the right perspective or to shift your perspective at any moment so that you can see things differently to Maybe make you stronger or give you the light that you need to keep going.
00:10:54.471 --> 00:11:01.296
As a mother becoming free again, giving birth again to my own self recently to be.
00:11:02.151 --> 00:11:04.958
I have so much to look back on.
00:11:05.819 --> 00:11:08.680
Only to learn from these reflections.
00:11:09.520 --> 00:11:09.980
Right?
00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:16.303
When we look back, they're reflections of our past and we can look at them.
00:11:16.539 --> 00:11:35.175
as reflections, see who we are, who we've transformed to be, who we don't want to be, the lessons that we can take from our past to grow, but not to dwell, not to go back and try to relive the past.
00:11:35.175 --> 00:11:44.524
When we're thinking about the past constantly and dwelling in it, then we're bringing stress to our bodies.
00:11:44.755 --> 00:11:52.399
we are really doing no good to ourselves or to anyone else around us because we can't change the past.
00:11:52.598 --> 00:11:54.059
We really can't.
00:11:54.099 --> 00:11:55.779
We can accept it.
00:11:56.040 --> 00:11:58.300
We can learn from it.
00:11:58.581 --> 00:12:03.363
We can embrace it and move on.
00:12:04.764 --> 00:12:13.641
So the only, so only know, the only knowing really is to move forward as a new, brighter woman.
00:12:13.641 --> 00:12:19.569
who has landed somewhere else on the game board, or shall I say, the playing path.
00:12:21.562 --> 00:12:25.617
Inhaling, let's pause here and take an inhale.
00:12:27.182 --> 00:12:28.663
Notice your breath.
00:12:32.007 --> 00:12:37.581
As I inhale, I keep an open heart once more, knowing one thing for sure.
00:12:37.581 --> 00:12:41.533
This is all about perspective shifting.
00:12:42.213 --> 00:12:51.978
Like I mentioned, it is, it can be perspective shifting on a daily, depending on who you are and where you are and all of that.
00:12:51.978 --> 00:13:01.923
So as hard and easy as that is, or that may sound, there are really so many roads or ways to be or not to be.
00:13:03.121 --> 00:13:07.153
One of my toughest feats is always trusting in the process.
00:13:08.054 --> 00:13:12.576
You can't see what's ahead, but you have to just trust.
00:13:13.437 --> 00:13:24.222
Literally every day as facing the unknown when you are deep in the forest alone can be frightening as fuck.
00:13:24.483 --> 00:13:27.424
I know, believe me, I know.
00:13:28.225 --> 00:13:31.586
And letting go of wherever you were before.
00:13:32.394 --> 00:13:35.570
for me is the lesson of greatest growth.
00:13:37.661 --> 00:13:41.690
Okay, let me say that again, letting go of wherever you were before.
00:13:41.690 --> 00:13:43.583
We're talking about our past.
00:13:45.235 --> 00:13:49.598
can be the greatest growth experience.
00:13:51.040 --> 00:14:06.392
So that meaning, you know, learning how to let go, feeling the feelings that are coming up around your past, around what happened, you know, it can be a lot.
00:14:06.673 --> 00:14:31.548
And if we really go into those feelings, we feel them, we notice them, um get to experience them in a way of knowing yourself more, where those feelings are coming from, where they're stemming from, what parts of your body, loving yourself during this process.
00:14:31.548 --> 00:14:41.275
ah This will make us feel less pain in the future if we don't do that and we don't really experience the pain.
00:14:41.771 --> 00:14:50.087
and the feelings that are coming up, they will stay in our bodies locked into certain places causing pain and inflammation.
00:14:50.087 --> 00:14:55.040
And eventually they're gonna just keep coming back.
00:14:55.221 --> 00:15:00.524
Now, not to say that those wounds just vanish.
00:15:00.524 --> 00:15:04.788
I believe they come a part of us as we have evolved here.
00:15:04.829 --> 00:15:08.260
right from the time we were born into who we are now.
00:15:08.260 --> 00:15:17.810
We all have different experiences and different pains that had, I want to say kind of stuck or adhered to our bodies.
00:15:18.411 --> 00:15:30.360
And depending on how we dealt with them and how we moved forward is kind of where who we are and where they may or may not be in our bodies still.
00:15:30.562 --> 00:15:52.574
So a lot of these uh I don't want to say treasures necessarily, uh you know, parts of us that we really need to embrace and love and like a mother, you know, uh and care for will always be part of us because it's who we are.
00:15:52.574 --> 00:16:04.819
It's who we have, you know, been our entire life and the experiences and the traumas that, that we have experienced and uh been.
00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:07.942
had gone through are a part of us.
00:16:07.942 --> 00:16:32.361
So the more we can like accept, embrace, nurture, care for who we are and what we carry, the less pain we will feel if we're not really going into the pain and feeling it and embracing it and letting go of...
00:16:32.361 --> 00:16:45.964
holding onto it so much and not feeling it like we should, then the more it's going to damage ourselves and our entire being over time.
00:16:46.245 --> 00:16:51.370
So it's very important that we do do the work.
00:16:51.370 --> 00:16:53.361
This is the work I'm talking about.
00:16:53.361 --> 00:16:55.865
I'm trying to do more of the work this time.
00:16:55.865 --> 00:16:57.735
Of course, I still have.
00:16:57.767 --> 00:17:02.319
my own wounds, m trying to do things differently than I've done in the past.
00:17:02.319 --> 00:17:03.990
And I know that I am.
00:17:04.750 --> 00:17:15.554
Letting go of wherever you were before, for me, is the lesson of greatest growth.
00:17:15.653 --> 00:17:22.432
So learning rather than evolving, finally into a place of knowing thyself more.
00:17:24.307 --> 00:17:28.201
learning rather evolving.
00:17:28.201 --> 00:17:33.935
Okay, so as we learn, are evolving, we are growing, we are maturing.
00:17:33.935 --> 00:17:37.139
This is the core essence of self-love.
00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:41.301
And I believe why we are essentially here.
00:17:42.002 --> 00:17:47.357
When you think about the bigger picture, it's like, okay, I think that's why we might all just be here, you know?
00:17:47.357 --> 00:17:52.412
It's like this game to learn the core essence.
00:17:53.223 --> 00:18:01.626
of who we are and to love ourselves so we can love everything else around us.
00:18:02.048 --> 00:18:20.045
And I believe many of you listening and most of us that are good beings of the planet know that love is the essence of everything.
00:18:20.045 --> 00:18:21.755
It's the essence of all.
00:18:22.173 --> 00:18:36.635
So when we are holding on to something that is holding us back or maybe unfulfilling to your true spirit, then we are not in alignment to our true self and who we are here to be.
00:18:37.443 --> 00:18:47.384
And when the essence of unconditional love is gone, we must move on to where it is because it is right around the corner.
00:18:47.625 --> 00:18:50.067
Love is always waiting for you.
00:18:51.625 --> 00:19:02.959
Real love is finding who, real love is finding you when you let go of the old misalignments in life.
00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:20.624
And sometimes we just get jolted out of, know, we get so misaligned, we don't even see it, that we get jolted into more of a misalignment that we have no choice.
00:19:20.895 --> 00:19:26.695
but this is like what I'm talking about going into like a rock bottom, falling into the abyss of the forest.
00:19:28.115 --> 00:19:32.576
We are like, oh my God, okay, here I am.
00:19:32.576 --> 00:19:37.175
I really have no fucking choice but to try to dig my way out of this now.
00:19:37.395 --> 00:19:40.336
And that's the liminal space in between.
00:19:40.336 --> 00:19:42.855
It's like, okay, here I am.
00:19:42.855 --> 00:19:44.556
What am I gonna do?
00:19:45.375 --> 00:19:48.195
How the hell do I get?
00:19:49.392 --> 00:19:56.752
How do I now get back to where I thought I was going or where I wanted to be?
00:19:56.752 --> 00:20:07.876
I was obviously in misalignment with my life in too many ways or I would not have fallen where I have landed.
00:20:08.116 --> 00:20:11.538
So we are all here to love.
00:20:11.538 --> 00:20:15.878
Capital L-O-V-E, vitamin love.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.299
Vitamin L.
00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:28.726
That is vitamin L, it is essential, learning to let go more and letting the universal love guide me has been my greatest accomplishment.
00:20:28.726 --> 00:20:37.231
Many of us with unmet childhood wounds feel the pain deeply when we are finding our way through the darkness.
00:20:37.472 --> 00:20:43.395
Being alone is good at times, but being together is the way we are meant to be.
00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:54.553
So sometimes we find ourselves when we're at a rock bottom, we're in the abyss, we end up being alone, right?
00:20:54.553 --> 00:21:01.005
We fall out of relationship, we fall out of love all of a sudden, or maybe not.
00:21:01.106 --> 00:21:09.730
Maybe we're still in love, but we can't have that love that we thought that we wanted.
00:21:10.230 --> 00:21:14.066
And we have to find a way to...
00:21:14.139 --> 00:21:15.681
love ourselves.
00:21:15.681 --> 00:21:22.721
So we're forced to be by ourselves because we have fallen out of love with ourselves and out of touch with who we are.
00:21:24.042 --> 00:21:41.587
So while I've been journeying through this stage in my menopausal years now, letting go of loved ones that are now in my past, I have many wiser choices that can be now seen clearly while remaining calmer.
00:21:42.899 --> 00:21:47.540
Meditation diversity is a tool.
00:21:47.820 --> 00:21:51.081
And maybe a new terminology.
00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:57.043
I actually looked it up and I didn't find an exact terminology of meditation diversity.
00:21:57.923 --> 00:22:05.005
But that was a term that came to me and I like it, that I'm currently going to play with.
00:22:05.005 --> 00:22:10.526
So this just came to me yesterday and it's actually, to me, this is a way.
00:22:10.526 --> 00:22:21.162
to play with or experience different avenues of connection with goddessness or with God source creator, know, nature.
00:22:21.701 --> 00:22:26.735
And there's different ways that you can find this connection.
00:22:26.735 --> 00:22:39.079
And it's all just really a meditation, I believe, because meditation is getting out of your mind, right?
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:41.421
it's connecting you with spirit.
00:22:41.541 --> 00:22:51.728
So just in that, how we connect with spirit and quiet our mind, there are different avenues of doing that.
00:22:51.728 --> 00:23:06.415
Yes, breath work, sitting on your yoga mat, sitting in nature, finding a comfortable resting position, breathing, and quieting all the thoughts.
00:23:06.493 --> 00:23:09.764
That is how many of us think of meditation.
00:23:10.145 --> 00:23:20.923
Well, not just being in nature and breath work, but listening within intuition, finding your intuition, your gut health is important to this.
00:23:20.923 --> 00:23:29.252
You can go back to my gut health podcast and talking about your intuition and connection to source, plant alchemy.
00:23:30.074 --> 00:23:35.695
These are mostly free ways to walk the path into the light more.
00:23:36.675 --> 00:23:45.790
So plants connect us with source because source gave us plants as medicine for that connection.
00:23:45.790 --> 00:24:09.957
And so it only makes sense that when we eat plants, especially spirit plants that really connect you with spirit, that that is an avenue to get out of your mind, get into your heart and connect your intuition more.
00:24:10.598 --> 00:24:16.903
Time and space is how it's perceived is very valuable.
00:24:18.847 --> 00:24:22.211
Time and space and how it's perceived is very valuable.
00:24:22.211 --> 00:24:27.914
Patience creates a fine perspective into divine timing.
00:24:28.235 --> 00:24:37.542
The realization of this makes perfect sense, especially when everything else being pushed out is not working out, right?
00:24:38.023 --> 00:24:48.402
Knowing you are loved and are here to dance and not fall unless maybe a wrong turn was followed for too long.
00:24:49.374 --> 00:24:58.010
trusting in the crazy process of life, living lighthearted more and more can only create more and more frill.
00:24:59.271 --> 00:25:18.483
When I say frill, that word just kind of came to me when I was writing, uh just means like, know, kind of open heartedness, carefree, know, lightness of being, uh not, you know, holding on to things like so hard and like...
00:25:18.483 --> 00:25:25.088
grasping and, you know, just kind of like letting go and trusting in the process.
00:25:25.088 --> 00:25:29.873
So ever heard to not take it all so seriously, right?
00:25:29.873 --> 00:25:32.493
Like really, why should we be?
00:25:32.595 --> 00:25:37.518
Finding ease in flow is key and it's a practice.
00:25:37.677 --> 00:25:39.299
We are here to love.
00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:40.840
We are here to shine.
00:25:40.840 --> 00:25:42.503
We are here to smile.
00:25:42.503 --> 00:25:45.624
We are here to dance together.
00:25:46.451 --> 00:25:48.972
Feeling the pain is inevitable though.
00:25:49.372 --> 00:25:50.734
It just is.
00:25:51.096 --> 00:25:53.096
Guess that's part of the game too.
00:25:53.096 --> 00:25:54.837
The yin and yang of it all.
00:25:54.837 --> 00:25:57.720
The balancing effect of the universal law.
00:25:57.941 --> 00:26:13.152
I heard about a research happiness study also in the last few weeks that shared that the happiest humans are doing what lights them up a minimum of two and a half hours a day.
00:26:13.632 --> 00:26:17.031
Okay, so that's 10 % of our life.
00:26:17.031 --> 00:26:24.291
If we are not doing what we love and what lights us up 10 % of the time.
00:26:24.372 --> 00:26:32.351
Okay, and I'm not talking about sleeping because many of us really love sleeping and that's probably more than 10%, right?
00:26:32.652 --> 00:26:34.571
But waking hours.
00:26:34.571 --> 00:26:59.762
Okay, so maybe that is maybe I have my calculations wrong on the 10 % now that I'm thinking about it, but two and a half hours of when you're awake, when you're alert, when you're doing the day-to-day things, okay, besides resting, we should be doing what we love, finding our passions, things that are making us feel good, right?
00:26:59.762 --> 00:27:01.263
And that's going to make us happy.
00:27:01.263 --> 00:27:07.147
If we like barely, I mean, some of us I know are like barely even doing that every day at all.
00:27:07.147 --> 00:27:09.509
And so no wonder you get sick.
00:27:10.173 --> 00:27:12.247
We must be able to do this.
00:27:12.247 --> 00:27:22.821
And if not, then we are so far out of whack that sooner or later our disassociated struggle will get the best of us completely.
00:27:22.821 --> 00:27:26.626
And a shift will happen whether we are ready for it or not.
00:27:29.255 --> 00:27:46.345
So I'm going to end with gratitude, gratitude, having gratitude, gratefulness, being thankful for whatever you can find to be thankful for no matter what.
00:27:46.345 --> 00:27:49.356
There's always something every day.
00:27:49.356 --> 00:27:59.331
Time is going by quickly, y'all, and every day is a new day and there are always things that we can find.
00:27:59.347 --> 00:28:05.088
whether it's the blue sky one day, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping.
00:28:05.629 --> 00:28:14.731
Maybe it's a certain piece of clothing that you love or the food that you're eating or the company that you're around.
00:28:14.851 --> 00:28:16.952
There is always something.
00:28:16.952 --> 00:28:20.074
Music, music, my God.
00:28:20.074 --> 00:28:23.394
Music is, I'm so grateful for music.
00:28:23.394 --> 00:28:27.255
There is just so much music to enjoy and to...
00:28:27.255 --> 00:28:30.769
uh lift your soul and your spirit.
00:28:31.168 --> 00:28:37.951
So yes, finding the free things around you every day to be in gratitude for first.
00:28:38.711 --> 00:28:51.174
Like this gorgeous wild carrot flower that I had a photo of that I put in the blog here, or actually I found a photo of this one, but I've taken photos of these.
00:28:51.174 --> 00:28:52.734
This one was not my photo.
00:28:52.734 --> 00:29:13.195
ah But the wild carrot, flower is beautiful and it has all these little tiny white flowers that all turn into seeds and the seeds are actually kind of toxic but also used as medicine in a abortifacant.
00:29:13.195 --> 00:29:25.023
So I'm just going to mention, uh yes, the wild carrot seeds are an abortifacant which means you can use them to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy.
00:29:25.703 --> 00:29:34.991
and I did not, you know, intentionally put that into the blog for that purpose, but I just love the flowers.
00:29:35.212 --> 00:29:50.705
They are beautiful and all those little seeds is a fine reminder of the beauty that surrounds us as well as the many seeds that can be planted throughout our lives.
00:29:51.126 --> 00:29:53.278
Oops, I just caught a typo.
00:29:54.366 --> 00:30:01.101
So I really love and appreciate any of you that stayed this long.
00:30:01.101 --> 00:30:04.203
I had no idea this was going to be the length that it was.
00:30:04.203 --> 00:30:06.705
Of course, I'm like, I'm to do like 10, 15 minutes.
00:30:06.705 --> 00:30:18.274
You know, I think this is a five minute read or so on my blog, but I love to, you know, really expand on what I'm uh talking about.
00:30:18.274 --> 00:30:23.197
What I write about always gets blown up more on the podcasts.
00:30:23.355 --> 00:30:31.923
So if you enjoyed this in any way, if it was helpful in any way to you, please do share it with whoever you think might also want to listen.
00:30:31.923 --> 00:30:39.769
I really want to encourage more sharing of this podcast so that it can expand to a broader audience.
00:30:40.089 --> 00:30:42.851
I would be so, so grateful for that.
00:30:42.952 --> 00:30:46.034
Have a beautiful day, y'all, a beautiful week.
00:30:46.034 --> 00:30:48.498
I am doing this bi-weekly right now.
00:30:48.498 --> 00:30:51.839
Please pray for me to get my home this week.
00:30:52.105 --> 00:30:55.606
Thank you, namaste, love y'all, bye.
00:31:13.993 --> 00:31:15.031
Stop it.
00:01:03.923 --> 00:01:08.516
Hello, welcome to the Conscious Choices for Wellness podcast.
00:01:08.516 --> 00:01:10.727
Thank you for being here today.
00:01:11.269 --> 00:01:20.034
I am joining you from my little home studio here in my temporary home.
00:01:20.515 --> 00:01:28.480
I'm hoping to get my next place that I will be in for longer finding out this week.
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.123
So I'm pretty excited about that, hoping that that is happening.
00:01:33.376 --> 00:01:44.335
as I have been in the in-between or the liminal space as we all have.
00:01:46.258 --> 00:01:54.993
as we all will experience at some point in our lives, maybe, you know, many times I think we're all on different paths.
00:01:55.176 --> 00:02:06.664
I am speaking about that today and I titled the podcast and the blog, Liminal Living, the space in between your next chapter.
00:02:07.645 --> 00:02:13.050
So I heard this mentioned just the term liminal space.
00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:17.201
uh on another podcast a few weeks back.
00:02:17.201 --> 00:02:25.545
And I took note of it because I was like, oh, well, I've totally been, I'm actually in this still right now and I've been living it.
00:02:25.545 --> 00:02:33.129
So uh it was someone speaking about how she was in this liminal space.
00:02:33.129 --> 00:02:50.640
Like she'd never known it before being displaced from the fires uh about a year ago from the LA fires last January and how just, you know, many people I'm sure that were in that anytime you're in a devastating.
00:02:50.640 --> 00:03:10.937
ah a devastating catastrophe and your whole life just blows up like suddenly you definitely are going to find yourself in liminal space living and like what the fuck.
00:03:11.218 --> 00:03:21.224
So living in the in-between, the unknown of what's one step ahead or even the confusion of what just happened leading you to where you have landed.
00:03:21.605 --> 00:03:25.187
Seemingly so sudden, but was it?
00:03:26.015 --> 00:03:30.395
may be in what we perceive as time.
00:03:31.975 --> 00:03:54.304
So yes, suddenly, like we don't have, you know, choices on if there's a catastrophe, like an earthquake or a fire, or even a flood sometimes, you know, like it can just happen so quickly that it will, you know, shake our whole life up and...
00:03:54.304 --> 00:04:02.943
hurricanes, know, like, I mean, your, whole living situation and your home and all of that.
00:04:02.943 --> 00:04:03.304
Okay.
00:04:03.304 --> 00:04:09.423
Let's just speak in, you know, where we are living in our home and feeling settled.
00:04:09.423 --> 00:04:12.403
So then that the rest of our life can happen, right?
00:04:12.403 --> 00:04:19.144
That's kind of like the first basic need is to have a roof over our head, to have a home that we feel safe in.
00:04:19.144 --> 00:04:36.069
And if all of that goes away, then everything else that we're dealing with in our life, our relationships, our career, you know, yeah, just everything else will have to be put aside too.
00:04:36.069 --> 00:04:44.033
And that will also change because we first need to have that basic need of having a home.
00:04:44.632 --> 00:04:51.216
So time traveled until wherever we currently stand.
00:04:57.898 --> 00:05:03.569
We are in this, you know, perception of a time of where we currently are.
00:05:03.569 --> 00:05:06.071
Some of us are watching the clock constantly.
00:05:06.071 --> 00:05:07.651
I am not a time watcher.
00:05:07.651 --> 00:05:09.959
I say that to people when I'm hanging out with them sometimes.
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.533
I'm like, I'm not a time watcher.
00:05:11.533 --> 00:05:19.437
ah If we need to be somewhere, you know, just kind of letting you know, maybe you should check the time.
00:05:19.477 --> 00:05:27.080
Cause I really only check the time if I do have an appointment, obviously, or if I have to be, you know, to a job.
00:05:27.116 --> 00:05:40.946
um, working for someone else, you know, even if you're working for yourself and you have an appointment and you have to be there to help someone else at a certain time, then yes, of course I need to watch the time because that's just the world we live in.
00:05:40.946 --> 00:05:45.749
But sometimes we end up feeling like what the fuck?
00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:58.185
Like life is a long strange trip, though ending up being too short in the midst of all that we could possibly accomplish while we're here.
00:05:58.706 --> 00:06:11.542
You know, I think uh it gets to a point in time where we realize, okay, I may only have X amount of years left.
00:06:11.542 --> 00:06:16.295
Like you really don't know ever how many days you have left here.
00:06:16.415 --> 00:06:24.701
But when you get to be my age and you know you've lived over half your life, maybe only have another 20, 30 years.
00:06:24.831 --> 00:06:31.624
ah then you're like, okay, what do I really want to accomplish?
00:06:31.624 --> 00:06:43.592
I don't want to call it the bucket list, but ah just, you know, things that you wanted to do and you only have so much more time to do.
00:06:43.997 --> 00:06:53.800
And it's just a time em in space when we're here on the planet uh that many of us will come.
00:06:53.800 --> 00:07:01.305
to face and then have to figure out, okay, like what's really important?
00:07:01.305 --> 00:07:03.227
What, you know, am I doing?
00:07:03.227 --> 00:07:07.330
um Am I in a job that I don't want to be in?
00:07:07.330 --> 00:07:10.391
Am I in a relationship I don't want to be in?
00:07:10.391 --> 00:07:14.354
And having to let go and make those changes, it's difficult.
00:07:14.354 --> 00:07:18.757
And I have much experience on this.
00:07:18.757 --> 00:07:22.879
I have had many transitions, twists and turns in my life.
00:07:23.016 --> 00:07:27.415
Right now I'm in a liminal space like I've never been in before.
00:07:27.415 --> 00:07:29.461
It's very, very different.
00:07:30.403 --> 00:07:41.734
So when we're feeling like our flow that we had been living in suddenly comes to a halt, landing in the middle of nowhere to begin again.
00:07:43.326 --> 00:07:51.062
This is me, by the way, right now, like I said, and I have been here before, but only differently.
00:07:51.463 --> 00:07:54.136
Even more of a wounded child back then.
00:07:54.136 --> 00:07:58.749
I have grown, I can tell that I am a different woman.
00:07:58.749 --> 00:08:07.486
ah I just, yeah, I'm really trying to do things differently than I've ever done before.
00:08:07.486 --> 00:08:10.699
So maybe I don't make the same mistakes.
00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:17.468
ah Maybe I make more intelligent conscious choices this time.
00:08:17.468 --> 00:08:32.322
It's really what I'm trying to honor myself in doing and taking things slower, my decision making, being closer to source and yeah, really tapping into my intuition.
00:08:32.402 --> 00:08:38.102
So the constant growth and growing up is the game of life.
00:08:38.663 --> 00:08:51.798
I really feel like We are in a game like a matrix of constant choices and moves that will create different.
00:08:51.798 --> 00:09:01.083
ah that will create different outcomes.
00:09:02.244 --> 00:09:06.764
So it is a game that we are living in.
00:09:06.764 --> 00:09:10.484
I heard another podcast last week on Know Thyself.
00:09:10.484 --> 00:09:17.303
I can't remember who he was speaking with, but this guy, he was actually a comedian.
00:09:17.644 --> 00:09:20.144
I'd actually like to watch some of his standup.
00:09:20.144 --> 00:09:22.484
Pretty sure he was a standup comedian.
00:09:22.624 --> 00:09:40.363
And he's just, you know, really into taking mind-altering substances to dive deep into transforming his life and his way of thinking and his way of being and his choices in this game of life that he calls it.
00:09:40.363 --> 00:09:49.500
It was a pretty interesting conversation, but I bet we're going to hear more and more people calling this life a game.
00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:53.520
I've been saying that this past year, that's just how I feel.
00:09:54.001 --> 00:10:00.879
So learning all the ways to get through all the twists and turns is a challenge for sure.
00:10:01.245 --> 00:10:04.075
Where is the opening to my next chapter?
00:10:04.075 --> 00:10:08.747
How should we choose to follow the opened paths?
00:10:09.647 --> 00:10:18.572
Falling deep in the abyss, AKA rock bottomness, can go many avenues depending on who we are.
00:10:19.141 --> 00:10:23.975
in that very moment, in that place and time.
00:10:24.776 --> 00:10:29.209
So yeah, it's interesting.
00:10:29.209 --> 00:10:31.591
It's fucking interesting out there.
00:10:31.591 --> 00:10:53.733
And I would say there's never a dull moment to, it's important to have the right perspective or to shift your perspective at any moment so that you can see things differently to Maybe make you stronger or give you the light that you need to keep going.
00:10:54.471 --> 00:11:01.296
As a mother becoming free again, giving birth again to my own self recently to be.
00:11:02.151 --> 00:11:04.958
I have so much to look back on.
00:11:05.819 --> 00:11:08.680
Only to learn from these reflections.
00:11:09.520 --> 00:11:09.980
Right?
00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:16.303
When we look back, they're reflections of our past and we can look at them.
00:11:16.539 --> 00:11:35.175
as reflections, see who we are, who we've transformed to be, who we don't want to be, the lessons that we can take from our past to grow, but not to dwell, not to go back and try to relive the past.
00:11:35.175 --> 00:11:44.524
When we're thinking about the past constantly and dwelling in it, then we're bringing stress to our bodies.
00:11:44.755 --> 00:11:52.399
we are really doing no good to ourselves or to anyone else around us because we can't change the past.
00:11:52.598 --> 00:11:54.059
We really can't.
00:11:54.099 --> 00:11:55.779
We can accept it.
00:11:56.040 --> 00:11:58.300
We can learn from it.
00:11:58.581 --> 00:12:03.363
We can embrace it and move on.
00:12:04.764 --> 00:12:13.641
So the only, so only know, the only knowing really is to move forward as a new, brighter woman.
00:12:13.641 --> 00:12:19.569
who has landed somewhere else on the game board, or shall I say, the playing path.
00:12:21.562 --> 00:12:25.617
Inhaling, let's pause here and take an inhale.
00:12:27.182 --> 00:12:28.663
Notice your breath.
00:12:32.007 --> 00:12:37.581
As I inhale, I keep an open heart once more, knowing one thing for sure.
00:12:37.581 --> 00:12:41.533
This is all about perspective shifting.
00:12:42.213 --> 00:12:51.978
Like I mentioned, it is, it can be perspective shifting on a daily, depending on who you are and where you are and all of that.
00:12:51.978 --> 00:13:01.923
So as hard and easy as that is, or that may sound, there are really so many roads or ways to be or not to be.
00:13:03.121 --> 00:13:07.153
One of my toughest feats is always trusting in the process.
00:13:08.054 --> 00:13:12.576
You can't see what's ahead, but you have to just trust.
00:13:13.437 --> 00:13:24.222
Literally every day as facing the unknown when you are deep in the forest alone can be frightening as fuck.
00:13:24.483 --> 00:13:27.424
I know, believe me, I know.
00:13:28.225 --> 00:13:31.586
And letting go of wherever you were before.
00:13:32.394 --> 00:13:35.570
for me is the lesson of greatest growth.
00:13:37.661 --> 00:13:41.690
Okay, let me say that again, letting go of wherever you were before.
00:13:41.690 --> 00:13:43.583
We're talking about our past.
00:13:45.235 --> 00:13:49.598
can be the greatest growth experience.
00:13:51.040 --> 00:14:06.392
So that meaning, you know, learning how to let go, feeling the feelings that are coming up around your past, around what happened, you know, it can be a lot.
00:14:06.673 --> 00:14:31.548
And if we really go into those feelings, we feel them, we notice them, um get to experience them in a way of knowing yourself more, where those feelings are coming from, where they're stemming from, what parts of your body, loving yourself during this process.
00:14:31.548 --> 00:14:41.275
ah This will make us feel less pain in the future if we don't do that and we don't really experience the pain.
00:14:41.771 --> 00:14:50.087
and the feelings that are coming up, they will stay in our bodies locked into certain places causing pain and inflammation.
00:14:50.087 --> 00:14:55.040
And eventually they're gonna just keep coming back.
00:14:55.221 --> 00:15:00.524
Now, not to say that those wounds just vanish.
00:15:00.524 --> 00:15:04.788
I believe they come a part of us as we have evolved here.
00:15:04.829 --> 00:15:08.260
right from the time we were born into who we are now.
00:15:08.260 --> 00:15:17.810
We all have different experiences and different pains that had, I want to say kind of stuck or adhered to our bodies.
00:15:18.411 --> 00:15:30.360
And depending on how we dealt with them and how we moved forward is kind of where who we are and where they may or may not be in our bodies still.
00:15:30.562 --> 00:15:52.574
So a lot of these uh I don't want to say treasures necessarily, uh you know, parts of us that we really need to embrace and love and like a mother, you know, uh and care for will always be part of us because it's who we are.
00:15:52.574 --> 00:16:04.819
It's who we have, you know, been our entire life and the experiences and the traumas that, that we have experienced and uh been.
00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:07.942
had gone through are a part of us.
00:16:07.942 --> 00:16:32.361
So the more we can like accept, embrace, nurture, care for who we are and what we carry, the less pain we will feel if we're not really going into the pain and feeling it and embracing it and letting go of...
00:16:32.361 --> 00:16:45.964
holding onto it so much and not feeling it like we should, then the more it's going to damage ourselves and our entire being over time.
00:16:46.245 --> 00:16:51.370
So it's very important that we do do the work.
00:16:51.370 --> 00:16:53.361
This is the work I'm talking about.
00:16:53.361 --> 00:16:55.865
I'm trying to do more of the work this time.
00:16:55.865 --> 00:16:57.735
Of course, I still have.
00:16:57.767 --> 00:17:02.319
my own wounds, m trying to do things differently than I've done in the past.
00:17:02.319 --> 00:17:03.990
And I know that I am.
00:17:04.750 --> 00:17:15.554
Letting go of wherever you were before, for me, is the lesson of greatest growth.
00:17:15.653 --> 00:17:22.432
So learning rather than evolving, finally into a place of knowing thyself more.
00:17:24.307 --> 00:17:28.201
learning rather evolving.
00:17:28.201 --> 00:17:33.935
Okay, so as we learn, are evolving, we are growing, we are maturing.
00:17:33.935 --> 00:17:37.139
This is the core essence of self-love.
00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:41.301
And I believe why we are essentially here.
00:17:42.002 --> 00:17:47.357
When you think about the bigger picture, it's like, okay, I think that's why we might all just be here, you know?
00:17:47.357 --> 00:17:52.412
It's like this game to learn the core essence.
00:17:53.223 --> 00:18:01.626
of who we are and to love ourselves so we can love everything else around us.
00:18:02.048 --> 00:18:20.045
And I believe many of you listening and most of us that are good beings of the planet know that love is the essence of everything.
00:18:20.045 --> 00:18:21.755
It's the essence of all.
00:18:22.173 --> 00:18:36.635
So when we are holding on to something that is holding us back or maybe unfulfilling to your true spirit, then we are not in alignment to our true self and who we are here to be.
00:18:37.443 --> 00:18:47.384
And when the essence of unconditional love is gone, we must move on to where it is because it is right around the corner.
00:18:47.625 --> 00:18:50.067
Love is always waiting for you.
00:18:51.625 --> 00:19:02.959
Real love is finding who, real love is finding you when you let go of the old misalignments in life.
00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:20.624
And sometimes we just get jolted out of, know, we get so misaligned, we don't even see it, that we get jolted into more of a misalignment that we have no choice.
00:19:20.895 --> 00:19:26.695
but this is like what I'm talking about going into like a rock bottom, falling into the abyss of the forest.
00:19:28.115 --> 00:19:32.576
We are like, oh my God, okay, here I am.
00:19:32.576 --> 00:19:37.175
I really have no fucking choice but to try to dig my way out of this now.
00:19:37.395 --> 00:19:40.336
And that's the liminal space in between.
00:19:40.336 --> 00:19:42.855
It's like, okay, here I am.
00:19:42.855 --> 00:19:44.556
What am I gonna do?
00:19:45.375 --> 00:19:48.195
How the hell do I get?
00:19:49.392 --> 00:19:56.752
How do I now get back to where I thought I was going or where I wanted to be?
00:19:56.752 --> 00:20:07.876
I was obviously in misalignment with my life in too many ways or I would not have fallen where I have landed.
00:20:08.116 --> 00:20:11.538
So we are all here to love.
00:20:11.538 --> 00:20:15.878
Capital L-O-V-E, vitamin love.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.299
Vitamin L.
00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:28.726
That is vitamin L, it is essential, learning to let go more and letting the universal love guide me has been my greatest accomplishment.
00:20:28.726 --> 00:20:37.231
Many of us with unmet childhood wounds feel the pain deeply when we are finding our way through the darkness.
00:20:37.472 --> 00:20:43.395
Being alone is good at times, but being together is the way we are meant to be.
00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:54.553
So sometimes we find ourselves when we're at a rock bottom, we're in the abyss, we end up being alone, right?
00:20:54.553 --> 00:21:01.005
We fall out of relationship, we fall out of love all of a sudden, or maybe not.
00:21:01.106 --> 00:21:09.730
Maybe we're still in love, but we can't have that love that we thought that we wanted.
00:21:10.230 --> 00:21:14.066
And we have to find a way to...
00:21:14.139 --> 00:21:15.681
love ourselves.
00:21:15.681 --> 00:21:22.721
So we're forced to be by ourselves because we have fallen out of love with ourselves and out of touch with who we are.
00:21:24.042 --> 00:21:41.587
So while I've been journeying through this stage in my menopausal years now, letting go of loved ones that are now in my past, I have many wiser choices that can be now seen clearly while remaining calmer.
00:21:42.899 --> 00:21:47.540
Meditation diversity is a tool.
00:21:47.820 --> 00:21:51.081
And maybe a new terminology.
00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:57.043
I actually looked it up and I didn't find an exact terminology of meditation diversity.
00:21:57.923 --> 00:22:05.005
But that was a term that came to me and I like it, that I'm currently going to play with.
00:22:05.005 --> 00:22:10.526
So this just came to me yesterday and it's actually, to me, this is a way.
00:22:10.526 --> 00:22:21.162
to play with or experience different avenues of connection with goddessness or with God source creator, know, nature.
00:22:21.701 --> 00:22:26.735
And there's different ways that you can find this connection.
00:22:26.735 --> 00:22:39.079
And it's all just really a meditation, I believe, because meditation is getting out of your mind, right?
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:41.421
it's connecting you with spirit.
00:22:41.541 --> 00:22:51.728
So just in that, how we connect with spirit and quiet our mind, there are different avenues of doing that.
00:22:51.728 --> 00:23:06.415
Yes, breath work, sitting on your yoga mat, sitting in nature, finding a comfortable resting position, breathing, and quieting all the thoughts.
00:23:06.493 --> 00:23:09.764
That is how many of us think of meditation.
00:23:10.145 --> 00:23:20.923
Well, not just being in nature and breath work, but listening within intuition, finding your intuition, your gut health is important to this.
00:23:20.923 --> 00:23:29.252
You can go back to my gut health podcast and talking about your intuition and connection to source, plant alchemy.
00:23:30.074 --> 00:23:35.695
These are mostly free ways to walk the path into the light more.
00:23:36.675 --> 00:23:45.790
So plants connect us with source because source gave us plants as medicine for that connection.
00:23:45.790 --> 00:24:09.957
And so it only makes sense that when we eat plants, especially spirit plants that really connect you with spirit, that that is an avenue to get out of your mind, get into your heart and connect your intuition more.
00:24:10.598 --> 00:24:16.903
Time and space is how it's perceived is very valuable.
00:24:18.847 --> 00:24:22.211
Time and space and how it's perceived is very valuable.
00:24:22.211 --> 00:24:27.914
Patience creates a fine perspective into divine timing.
00:24:28.235 --> 00:24:37.542
The realization of this makes perfect sense, especially when everything else being pushed out is not working out, right?
00:24:38.023 --> 00:24:48.402
Knowing you are loved and are here to dance and not fall unless maybe a wrong turn was followed for too long.
00:24:49.374 --> 00:24:58.010
trusting in the crazy process of life, living lighthearted more and more can only create more and more frill.
00:24:59.271 --> 00:25:18.483
When I say frill, that word just kind of came to me when I was writing, uh just means like, know, kind of open heartedness, carefree, know, lightness of being, uh not, you know, holding on to things like so hard and like...
00:25:18.483 --> 00:25:25.088
grasping and, you know, just kind of like letting go and trusting in the process.
00:25:25.088 --> 00:25:29.873
So ever heard to not take it all so seriously, right?
00:25:29.873 --> 00:25:32.493
Like really, why should we be?
00:25:32.595 --> 00:25:37.518
Finding ease in flow is key and it's a practice.
00:25:37.677 --> 00:25:39.299
We are here to love.
00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:40.840
We are here to shine.
00:25:40.840 --> 00:25:42.503
We are here to smile.
00:25:42.503 --> 00:25:45.624
We are here to dance together.
00:25:46.451 --> 00:25:48.972
Feeling the pain is inevitable though.
00:25:49.372 --> 00:25:50.734
It just is.
00:25:51.096 --> 00:25:53.096
Guess that's part of the game too.
00:25:53.096 --> 00:25:54.837
The yin and yang of it all.
00:25:54.837 --> 00:25:57.720
The balancing effect of the universal law.
00:25:57.941 --> 00:26:13.152
I heard about a research happiness study also in the last few weeks that shared that the happiest humans are doing what lights them up a minimum of two and a half hours a day.
00:26:13.632 --> 00:26:17.031
Okay, so that's 10 % of our life.
00:26:17.031 --> 00:26:24.291
If we are not doing what we love and what lights us up 10 % of the time.
00:26:24.372 --> 00:26:32.351
Okay, and I'm not talking about sleeping because many of us really love sleeping and that's probably more than 10%, right?
00:26:32.652 --> 00:26:34.571
But waking hours.
00:26:34.571 --> 00:26:59.762
Okay, so maybe that is maybe I have my calculations wrong on the 10 % now that I'm thinking about it, but two and a half hours of when you're awake, when you're alert, when you're doing the day-to-day things, okay, besides resting, we should be doing what we love, finding our passions, things that are making us feel good, right?
00:26:59.762 --> 00:27:01.263
And that's going to make us happy.
00:27:01.263 --> 00:27:07.147
If we like barely, I mean, some of us I know are like barely even doing that every day at all.
00:27:07.147 --> 00:27:09.509
And so no wonder you get sick.
00:27:10.173 --> 00:27:12.247
We must be able to do this.
00:27:12.247 --> 00:27:22.821
And if not, then we are so far out of whack that sooner or later our disassociated struggle will get the best of us completely.
00:27:22.821 --> 00:27:26.626
And a shift will happen whether we are ready for it or not.
00:27:29.255 --> 00:27:46.345
So I'm going to end with gratitude, gratitude, having gratitude, gratefulness, being thankful for whatever you can find to be thankful for no matter what.
00:27:46.345 --> 00:27:49.356
There's always something every day.
00:27:49.356 --> 00:27:59.331
Time is going by quickly, y'all, and every day is a new day and there are always things that we can find.
00:27:59.347 --> 00:28:05.088
whether it's the blue sky one day, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping.
00:28:05.629 --> 00:28:14.731
Maybe it's a certain piece of clothing that you love or the food that you're eating or the company that you're around.
00:28:14.851 --> 00:28:16.952
There is always something.
00:28:16.952 --> 00:28:20.074
Music, music, my God.
00:28:20.074 --> 00:28:23.394
Music is, I'm so grateful for music.
00:28:23.394 --> 00:28:27.255
There is just so much music to enjoy and to...
00:28:27.255 --> 00:28:30.769
uh lift your soul and your spirit.
00:28:31.168 --> 00:28:37.951
So yes, finding the free things around you every day to be in gratitude for first.
00:28:38.711 --> 00:28:51.174
Like this gorgeous wild carrot flower that I had a photo of that I put in the blog here, or actually I found a photo of this one, but I've taken photos of these.
00:28:51.174 --> 00:28:52.734
This one was not my photo.
00:28:52.734 --> 00:29:13.195
ah But the wild carrot, flower is beautiful and it has all these little tiny white flowers that all turn into seeds and the seeds are actually kind of toxic but also used as medicine in a abortifacant.
00:29:13.195 --> 00:29:25.023
So I'm just going to mention, uh yes, the wild carrot seeds are an abortifacant which means you can use them to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy.
00:29:25.703 --> 00:29:34.991
and I did not, you know, intentionally put that into the blog for that purpose, but I just love the flowers.
00:29:35.212 --> 00:29:50.705
They are beautiful and all those little seeds is a fine reminder of the beauty that surrounds us as well as the many seeds that can be planted throughout our lives.
00:29:51.126 --> 00:29:53.278
Oops, I just caught a typo.
00:29:54.366 --> 00:30:01.101
So I really love and appreciate any of you that stayed this long.
00:30:01.101 --> 00:30:04.203
I had no idea this was going to be the length that it was.
00:30:04.203 --> 00:30:06.705
Of course, I'm like, I'm to do like 10, 15 minutes.
00:30:06.705 --> 00:30:18.274
You know, I think this is a five minute read or so on my blog, but I love to, you know, really expand on what I'm uh talking about.
00:30:18.274 --> 00:30:23.197
What I write about always gets blown up more on the podcasts.
00:30:23.355 --> 00:30:31.923
So if you enjoyed this in any way, if it was helpful in any way to you, please do share it with whoever you think might also want to listen.
00:30:31.923 --> 00:30:39.769
I really want to encourage more sharing of this podcast so that it can expand to a broader audience.
00:30:40.089 --> 00:30:42.851
I would be so, so grateful for that.
00:30:42.952 --> 00:30:46.034
Have a beautiful day, y'all, a beautiful week.
00:30:46.034 --> 00:30:48.498
I am doing this bi-weekly right now.
00:30:48.498 --> 00:30:51.839
Please pray for me to get my home this week.
00:30:52.105 --> 00:30:55.606
Thank you, namaste, love y'all, bye.
00:31:13.993 --> 00:31:15.031
Stop it.
